BURN ALL, STEAL ALL, KILL ALL
PART 14
Burn all, steal all and kill all was the official policy of Japan’s imperialistic military and paramilitary groups like the Black Ocean and Black Dragon societies. Japanese citizens regarded their emperor as omnipotent or sanctioned by God; therefore obedience to government was deeply entrenched. Weapons technology, driven by the orchestrated Cold War with its staged enemies, has improved. Now it is nuke all, steal all and kill all. The Power Elite prototype, in most nations, reveals their consistent goal of depopulating the earth (to 500 million) and seizing all resources. “Those nations who ignore history are doomed to repeat its tragedies.” Or, those U.S. citizens who ignore readily-available history are doomed to suffer the consequences of their deception and ignorance.
During the night of October 7, 1895 Japanese assassins from the secretive terrorist organization Black Ocean Society (Gen'yosha – ultranationalist paramilitary founded by an ex-samurai) entered the private quarters of Korea’s queen who had refused Japan’s imperialistic demands. They stabbed, slashed and then tossed the kerosene-soaked, screaming Queen Min into a blazing fire in the palace garden. The predictable civil turmoil provided the trumped-up justification for a military occupation facilitated by the Kempeitai (Army military police), the arrest of thousands of dissenting Koreans and the eventual annexation (August 22, 1910) of Korea. The majority of Japanese citizens believed they were in Korea to help.[1] Cloaked in patriotism, humanitarianism and nationalism, ordinary citizens of imperialist nations rarely recognize the covetous, covert agenda of their rulers or more correctly – the banksters and conglomerates that direct their rulers.
The subsequent massive plunder of Korea began an era of intense Japanese brutality and systematic looting that ended in early June 1945 with a farewell party followed by the dynamite-charged entombment of 175 intoxicated, unsuspecting chief engineers in Tunnel-8, 220 feet underground just after General Yamashita, Prince Chichibu and Prince Takeda hastily exited. Tunnel-8 was just one of the 175 vaults the engineers had designed for the burial of tons of gold bullion and other treasures seized from twelve Asian countries. To eliminate witnesses, allied POWs and civilian slave laborers had suffered similar fates after building the treasure vaults. At the end of the war, 5,000 Korean laborers, supposedly “bound for home,” were sealed in the cargo hold of a ship that was soon scuttled. Tens of thousands of Korea’s young men had been conscripted into the Japanese army to serve as cannon fodder.[2]
With financial backing totaling $196 million from Jacob H. Schiff (who also financed the Russian Revolution of 1917 [3]), Kuhn, Loeb Morgan and Rockefeller, resource-poor Japan declared war on Tsarist Russia on February 8, 1904. At war’s end on September 5, 1905 and through the Treaty of Portsmouth, mediated by Theodore Roosevelt, Japan gained the South Manchurian branch of the China Far East Railway which became the South Manchurian Railway (Mantetsu); half was then owned by the Japanese government “with Emperor Hirohito as the largest private shareholder, followed by Mitsui (Japan's first private bank; invested heavily into weapons)[4] and Mitsubishi industrial and banking conglomerates.”[5]
The reason Japan fared so well in the Treaty of Portsmouth is that an agreement (Taft-Katsura Agreement) was made on July 27, 1905 in a confidential meeting held in Tokyo between Japanese Prime Minister Katsura and U.S. Secretary of War, William Howard Taft. The U.S. agreed that Japan could colonize Korea if Japan relinquished the resource-rich Philippines to U.S. dominance. This secret agreement with Japan violated our friendship agreement with Korea signed in Incheon on May 22, 1882, negotiated after our assault on Korea on June 10, 1871, known as Shinmiyangyo (Western Disturbance of the Year Sinmi year), during which about 350 Koreans and three Americans died.[6]
Japan gained control of the “Russian interests” in Manchuria which economically destabilized thousands of Russian residents; the commercial port of Dalian and the naval base at Port Arthur. Mitsui and Black Dragon (Kokuryukai – another paramilitary, ultra-nationalist right-wing group) collaborated with the Japan’s Kwantung Army (the corporate enforcement arm) to seize Chinese concessions that Mitsui had targeted. Mantetsu employees began “itemizing” Manchurian resources for future confiscation. In Tokyo in September 1905, Black Dragon thugs staged riots, burned churches and engaged in other destructive activities to intimidate the government who considered selling the South Manchurian Railway to Edward H. Harriman who was attempting to build a world-wide railroad network. Amused, Harriman actually witnessed the staged riots in the company of Baron Matsui.[7] The Power Elite are voyeuristic
Despite Schiff’s influence and diplomatic machinations by Senator Philander Knox (Attorney General April 5, 1901 – June 30, 1904; Secretary of State March 6, 1909 – March 5, 1913) Japan rejected Edward H. Harriman’s offer. Knox, known for his Dollar Diplomacy and loan brokering in Nicaragua, Honduras and Cuba for his bankster buddies and lying about the ratification of the 16th amendment was instrumental in resource/land grabbing for some of his clients: Carnegie, Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and Harriman.[8]
Edward Harriman was the father of future U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union – William Averell Harriman (CFR, Skull and Bones, Marshall Plan Administrator) who also secretly financed the Bolsheviks. Harriman convinced Lenin to let “him take over the Czar's cartels, which exported manganese, iron ore and other raw materials” which he shipped “to his German partners, the Thyssens, who had been secretly bought out by the Rockefellers,” who were able to buy the stock of many German companies due to Germany’s worthless currency. Brown Brothers Harriman financed this Rockefeller front company, Thyssens, and their slave labor camp, Auschwitz. Their money would be secure no matter who won the war. Rockefeller lawyers, the Dulles brothers, “had established three banks,” one each in Germany, Holland, and Union Banking Corporation (Rockefeller owned 98%) in New York run by Prescott Bush, son-in-law of Herbert Walker. Union Banking was seized in 1942 “as a Nazi front,” only to be returned by the accommodating U.S. government in 1951. Bush and Walker’s two shares netted them about $1.5 million in 1951 dollars.[9] Same names, same schemes, different generations.
Back in South Manchuria, Japanese rogues, called tairiku ronin, turned the country into a poppy-producing paradise to supply thousands of Japanese-established opium dens throughout China; drugs demoralize and diminish dissent.[10] Heroin-laced cigarettes were even introduced to 10-year old children. Ultimately Japan supplied 90% of the world’s illegal suppressive, mind-numbing narcotics. The Power Elite have used other countries, like Afghanistan, Laos and Nicaragua to grow and process drugs. Morphine and heroin produced in army factories were stored in warehouses owned by Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other conglomerates, the same firms that would later use slave labor.
Using a staged provocation in which one expendable Japanese man was killed, hundreds of Yakuza (organized crime groups) and members from the Black Dragon Society along with 90,000 Japanese troops invaded Shanghai, China in January 1932. As a result, 18,000 civilians were slaughtered and 240,000 Chinese lost their homes. The Japanese bombed Shanghai on January 28, 1932 and retreated on March 2, 1932.[11]
To diminish international criticism regarding the massive random rapes of local women during the Shanghai and Nanking (Nanjing) invasions, the Japanese government enticed, deceived, kidnapped, or purchased between eighty thousand to two hundred thousand women, including adolescent girls, from Korea, China, Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia and forced them into sexual slavery (reusable bodies are Power Elite profit centers) in battlefront brothels all over Asia. Only 25 percent of the Comfort Women survived their horrific ordeal. Government involvement is substantiated by a document entitled “Regarding the Recruitment of Women for Military Brothels” uncovered in the Japanese Defense Department’s archives in 1991.[12] [13]
In the 1930s Shanghai was rife with drugs, alcohol, gambling and over 100,000 prostitutes. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, head of the Kuomintang (KMT) government, received his share of drug profits from Tu Yueh-sheng, China’s most powerful godfather, boss of the Green Gang and a big financial backer of the general. The KMT established the Opium Suppression Bureau which “turned over confiscated opium to the Green Gang for conversion to heroin and morphine.” [14] The head of the government's drug control pretext, Du Yuesheng, was an active member of the Green Gang.[15] Highly funded fake, deliberately ineffective “drug wars” are used to transfer wealth to the criminal government class and their cronies while pretending to eliminate the problem. A drug-burdened (illicit or pharmaceutical) country is not evidence of government incompetence but rather complicity.
The Second Sino-Japanese War started on July 7, 1937 when the highly-militarized, submissive-to-authority, morally bankrupt Japan again invaded China. In the first month of the war, nearly a quarter million Chinese, mostly women and children were slaughtered. The war would end on September 9, 1945.
On December 2, 1937, Prince Asaka, uncle of the emperor, replaced General Iwane Matsui, as commander of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force (SEF), for the invasion of Nanking, China’s Nationalist capital at that time. “To preserve his own KMT army, which was his only means of staying in power, Chiang Kai-Shek abandoned all of North China.” Although Chiang Kai-shek had a “numeric advantage” he “inexplicably moved his armies and his headquarters” away from Nanking just as the Japanese encircled the city, “the generalissimo decided once more to abandon his civilian population without a fight.” The few uninformed KMT forces that remained surrendered on 13 December 13, 1937 with minimal military resistance.[16] Wars are choreographed to produce winners, losers and cultural and geographic changes. Warfare enriches the bankers who fund both sides and their cohorts, the munitions manufacturers.
During the next six weeks Nanking residents were subjected to rape, grisly mutilations, decapitations, arson, looting, burning and live burial, bayonet practice, castration, disembowelment and mass executions. Japanese soldiers also engaged in cannibalism. The noncombatant death toll during that six week period, according to the International Military Tribunal of the Far East (IMTFE, May 3, 1946 to November 12, 1948), was more than 260,000 and may have been as many as 350,000.
Recently declassified documents (December 2007) estimated the number of deaths for Nankingand the surrounding area at about 500,000.[17] Compare that to the civilian casualties for the entire war in European countries: Great Britain – 61,000 civilians; France – 108,000; Belgium – 101,000; and the Netherlands – 242,000. More civilians died in Nanking than in the British air raids on Dresden – 60,000 dead, 30,000 wounded. America’s raids on Tokyo – an estimated 80,000 to 120,000 civilian deaths. Estimated deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 140,000 and 70,000 respectively.[18]
On August 6, 1937 Emperor Showa [19] (name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor’s reign and means Enlightened Peace), better known by his personal name, Hirohito (an emperor’s personal name is never used in Japan), had issued a directive to remove all the humane constraints of International Law (Hague Conventions) regarding prisoners of war which included the mandate to stop using the term “prisoners of war” (in favor of enemy combatants?). Torture could then be used as a means of acquiring intelligence.
General Iwane Matsui, due to chronic illness, was not in Nanking during the atrocities but was tried by the IMTFE and hanged for war crimes in December 1948. Matsui’s more moral instructions were changed on December 13, 1937 to “kill all captives” to eliminate the possibility of guerrilla retaliations and the necessity of feeding prisoners. Prince Asaka was questioned but never charged and died at the age of 93 on April 12, 1981.[20] General MacArthur granted immunity to all members of the Imperial family. About 50 major suspects including the future Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi, and Yoshisuke Aikawa, head of the zaibatsu Nissan, were charged but released without going to trial. The tribunal essentially functioned to exonerate the imperial family from all criminal responsibility and for the victors (who committed similar atrocities) to selectively mete out justice for a morsel of satisfaction for the victims.
To facilitate large scale plundering, Emperor Hirohito, educated as a marine biologist, had appointed one of his three brothers, Prince Chichibu, to head a secret organization called kin no Yuri (Golden Lily) to accompany the military. He was assisted by Prince Tsuneyoshi Takeda, a cousin of Hirohito. A first pass was conducted by the Kempeitai who seized and crated government, bank and private family assets including gold, jewelry, furniture, rugs, gold fillings from cadavers, antiques, artwork, and other transportables. Special Service Units focused on the influential Chinese and emptied banks, pawn shops, treasuries, factories, private homes, and art galleries. General Kenji Doihara recruited Kodama Yoshio, Japan’s government-friendly top gangster to plunder China’s underworld and black economy. Kodama, before the war ended, would also facilitate the plundering of Asia’s underworld.[21]
In the spring of 1938, more than a thousand Japanese “experts” sifted through China’s imperial collections in Nanking which included over 100,000 pieces of “priceless jade and over 1.2 million books and manuscripts and millions of porcelain pieces. Priceless books and manuscripts “were used to set up the Institute of East Asian Studies, Institute of Oriental Culture, Institute of East Asian Economy,” Great East Asia Library and other facilities where these items remain. China recovered less than six percent of their rare volumes.[22] The Japanese even managed to steal the 500,000-year old teeth and bones of the Peking Man after the Peking Union Medical College staff made arrangements for thirteen Americans to move them to the Smithsonian Institute until after the war. The padded steel boxes containing the bones were confiscated and the men were taken to Hokkaido where they spent three and a half years as slave labor in Mitsubishi coal mines.[23] Certainly, Iraq’s gold, treasures, antiquities and rare manuscripts were confiscated and not destroyed by the Iraqis as reported. Where are they now?
All of South-East Asia fell to the Japanese during the winter and spring of 1941-42 including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Indonesia. Nothing and no one was off-limits including land: Prince Chichibu’s Golden Lily operatives seized valuable assets from American, Chinese (the biggest victim [24]), Dutch, British and French citizens; the Japanese “tore gilt from Buddhist temples” and took gold Burmese Buddhas, even opened Korea’s ancient tombs under the pretext of preserving them. All gold was “melted down into ingots at the Japanese-run smelter in Ipoh, Malaya. The plundered treasures, ancient books and artifacts were transported to Japan in “boats disguised as hospital ships” up until the 1943 allied blockade of Japan.[25]
Prince Chichibu moved his “industrial scale” Golden Lily operation to Manila and the Philippine ports and then, along with a cousin Prince Takada Tsuneyoshi, supervised the construction of 175 storage sites (34 in deliberately scuttled ships) using slave laborers and POWs who were later “buried alive” when each of the sites were sealed. The sites, all booby-trapped with 1,000- and 2,000-lb bombs and poisonous gas were located in areas less likely to be bombed by the Americans. Japanese leaders anticipated that they could negotiate and retain control of the Philippines and later recover the plundered treasures.[26] “As the war came to an end, Chichibu and Takeda escaped back to Japan by submarine.”[27]
The Asian Holocaust perpetrated by the Japanese military took the life of about 30 million people: Chinese (23 million), Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese. The Nazis purportedly killed six million Jews and 20 million Russians. The U.S. reparations and accountability policies towards Germany and Japan were noticeably and deliberately inequitable though both countries used dehumanizing forced labor, plundered their victims, conducted lethal medical experiments and slaughtered millions while arrogantly viewing themselves and their countries as superior and destined to rule the world. German archives were protected and later declassified, German war criminals were prosecuted and the German government was totally dismantled. Conversely, Japan’s postwar records, in the custody of the U.S., are sill highly classified; the Emperor, his cronies and relatives were exonerated by the U.S. and the elite ruling class was restored to power by 1948.[28] What became of the gold?

CHINA: SHANGHAIED BY COMMUNISM
PART 15
(Nov. 22, 2008)
Who and what motivated Japan’s brutal activities against its neighbors as described in part 14? Britain detrimentally meddled in Asia in the 19th century and America meddled in Asia in the 20th century – who was behind their actions? Kuhn, Loeb and Company financed Japan’s Russian invasion in 1905 while the European Rothschilds financed the Russians which somehow failed to receive timely armament delivery. Russia’s objectives, viable in 1895, were an ice-free Pacific port and the acquisition of just enough leased territory for the continuation of her transcontinental railway.[1] The conflict decimated Russia’s economy, preparatory to the well-planned revolution based on philosophy from Karl Marx (1818-83). The House of Rothschild, since 1863, had headquarters in four cities: London, Paris, Vienna and Frankfort.[2]
On January 30, 1902, Japan signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance with Great Britain. Japan would be “the Crown’s policeman in Asia,” to do the dirty work – the killing and the dying. The alliance included high-interest loans from Rothschild-controlled British banks to finance Japan’s armament purchases and ships from British firms. Great Britain then demanded that Russia abandon the Kwantung Peninsula, territory leased from China six years before. Russia had already spent $300 million on improvements.[3] The alliance was renewed after the Russo-Japanese War and in 1911 after Japan’s annexation of Korea (part of Japan from 1910 to 1945). As directed, Japan adopted the gold standard. Carroll Quigley stated the following about the gold standard: “As a consequence, many persons, including financiers and economists, were astonished to discover, in the twentieth century, that the gold standard gave stable exchanges and unstable prices.”[4] Those who own/control the majority of any commodity, dictate its value, something to consider regarding the 50-year period of regimented Japanese plundering throughout Asia.
As part of the British/Japanese agreement, three hundred British-trained Japanese bankers set up the Japanese banking system. That banking system would create devastating hardships in 1927 and again in the 1990s. Great Britain, challenged with heavy war debt to America’s J. P. Morgan, would terminate the 1902 alliance in December 1921. J. P. Morgan and other banks, flush with war profits, focused on investment opportunities in Japan.[5]
Some of Japan’s generals had accepted bribes from Vickers-Maxim, the company that weaponized the small island country for the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. Vickers-Maxim tested their weaponry in the Spanish-American War (partly financed by J&W Seligman Co.) for the control of Cuba’s white gold (sugar). Vickers-Maxim supplied weapons for the Boer War (1899-1901) to seize the gold and diamond fields of the Witwatersrand.[6] Since those three wars, the Brotherhood of Death has targeted countries receptive to heavy weaponization, a financial windfall to the bankers of death and their cronies, the merchants of death. De-populating war is predictably followed by peace conferences and prudent disarmament, attended by bankers and Kissinger-style politicians. Acquiescent governments junk expensive weapons and shortly replace them with newer, more deadly, more expensive and more profitable weapons.
The Rothschilds were the biggest shareholders of Vickers-Maxim which was the creation, through company consolidations, of Sir Ernest Cassel, personal banker to Edward VII who reigned from January 22, 1901 to May 6, 1910. The king’s advisory staff included Leopold and Alfred de Rothschild and various members of the Sassoon family. Cassel was a close friend of Winston Churchill and his father, Randolph, an intimate friend of Nathaniel Rothschild.[7] Cassel made a fortune in Siberian gold mines, steel concerns and railway companies.[8] The House of Rothschild purchased the London-based Reuters International News Agency in the late 1800s. Just in time to propagandize World War I, the House of Rothschild bought control of major news agencies – Havas of France, and Wolff in Germany.[9] British foreign policy and Rothschild foreign policy were one and the same.
Yale University, due to a sizeable donation, was named after Elihu Yale (1649-1721) who was a governor of the British East India Company which began smuggling opium into China beginning in 1773. Yale would be the future home of Skull and Bones (S&B), founded in 1832 by William Russell (opium smuggler). Many S&B member families grew rich through drug dealing: Coffin, Sloane, Taft, Bundy, Payne and Whitney. Averell Harriman (S&B), former Ambassador to Moscow, was business partners with Prescott Bush (S&B), father of George H. W. Bush (S&B), who was appointed Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office to the People's Republic of China from September 26, 1974 – December 7, 1975. Clark T. Randt, Jr., (S&B) is the current U.S. Ambassador to China. Ambassadors are charged with representing U.S. corporate interests.
After Britain’s First Opium War (1839-1842) against China, the real power behind the Chinese Emperor was the Soong family who were agents of the House of Sassoon, Jewish multi-national opium traders originally from Baghdad who were later forced to flee to Bombay, India. They obtained exclusive rights from Great Britain to market opium to Shanghai and Hong Kong from which the queen received a healthy share of the millions of dollars of profit. By 1890, about 10 percent of China's total population were opium smokers.[10] In 1874, attention was drawn to China’s alleged pervasive decadence by members of the Yale School of Divinity – no doubt because of all that opium.[11] So, in 1903, a year after the Japan/Great Britain alliance, Yale Divinity School established schools and hospitals throughout China – known as Yale in China.
The Sassoons preferred to run their financial interests from their luxurious English estates in order to socialize with royalty and other elites like A. J. Balfour, H. G. Wells and the rising Winston Churchill.[12] In addition to drug profits and in order to exploit India’s cheap labor force, Albert Sassoon established huge textile mills in Bombay. This early-day outsourcing destabilized the Lancashire mills and devastated the English citizens who depended on the mills for employment. In 1872, despite this economic assault, Albert was knighted by Queen Victoria, both economically unaffected by the collapse in the textile industry.[13] In 1887, Edward Albert Sassoon, son of Sir Albert, married Aline Caroline de Rothschild of the French banking family, grand-daughter of Jacob (James) Mayer Rothschild, son of Mayer.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen (November 12, 1866 – March 12, 1925), revered as the Father of modern China and founder of the Nationalist Party (NP), was born in Guangdong province. He became an American citizen while living with an older brother in Hawaii where he embraced the concept – “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” He returned to China in 1883 and was baptized as a Christian. Troubled by British colonialism and exploitation, Dr. Sun left his medical practice and became involved in the reform plot of 1895, an attempt to establish a democracy.[14] The plot failed and several reformers were executed. Dr. Sun escaped. On October 11, 1896, he allegedly was kidnapped and kept prisoner in the Chinese Legation in London (established 1877).[15] He returned to China after the successful coup against the Qing emperor and was proclaimed Provisional President of the new Republic of China on December 29, 1911. He hoped to establish peace, freedom, and equality in the country.[16] However, most of northern China was controlled by unsupportive war lords.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen married Soong Ching-ling, his second wife, one of the Soong sisters, in Japan on October 25, 1915. His brothers-in-law were Harvard-educated Tse-ven Soong, head of the Sassoon-controlled Bank of China, and financier H.H. Kung, Minister of Finance. Tse-ven Soong was the governor of the Central Bank of China and later Minister of Finance (1928 - 1931, 1932 - 1933). The Soong family, with Rothschild/Sassoon money, controlled the Chinese government and had carved up the country into drug regions dominated by warlords. Both the British Crown and the Soong family profited substantially from their mind-destroying, highly addictive opium business.[17]
In 1921, in an attempt to unify China, Dr. Sun established a military government in the Guangzhou (Canton), Guangdong Province in southern China. He was then elected as president and generalissimo.[18] The Whampoa Military Academy was established in 1924 with Chiang Kai-shek as its commandant. The academy was supplied, financed and staffed by Russian military advisors. Sun Yat-sen's principle military advisor, Soviet General Vasily Blucher, had helped found the academy. At least seven hundred cadets were from the Green Gang.[19]
In order to hasten the conquest of the warlords in northern China, he accepted Soviet help and cooperated with local communists after he had been rejected by the western powers (as Ho Chi Minh had been when he petitioned Woodrow Wilson at the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference and again by Truman in 1945 and 1946 when he wrote asking for assistance). Sun died of liver cancer on March 12, 1925, at the age of 58 at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital which was founded in 1921 by the Rockefeller Foundation after he established the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1915 to westernize traditional Chinese medical practices.[20] Millions of Chinese patients connoted major profits.
Sun Yat-sen’s death split the Nationalist Party (NP). Right-wing Chiang Kai-shek took over the National Revolutionary Army and left-wing Wang Jingwei took over the national government, the perfect scenario for civil war. With Soviet troops commanded by General Michael Borodin, Chiang Kai-shek looted the vaults of the Rothschild/Sassoon/Soong bank in Shanghai, the nation’s banking center. This infuriated the bankers. Tse-ven Soong made Chiang a tempting offer if he would switch loyalties – $3 million in cash, his sister Mai-Ling Soong (the sister of Dr. Sun’s widow) and the presidency of China for life. Chiang agreed. He ordered the Russians out of China and became a British agent.[21] When Chiang and Soong were married, Tse-ven Soong presented his sister with his personal mansion.[22]
Chiang Kai-shek married Mai-Ling Soong, the sister of a Rothschild agent, on December 1, 1927 and was “chosen” president of China on October 10, 1928.[23] Chiang’s new alliances were revealed when he inexplicably abandoned Nanking, then the capital of the Republic of China, and exposed its vulnerable citizens to six weeks of brutal savagery by the invading Japanese beginning on December 13, 1937.
By 1920, Shanghai, the focus of western economic interest, contained the majority of the country's industrial workers and the biggest base of Communist support in China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dominated Shanghai's municipal government. The NP and the CCP were officially still allies.[24] Yet, on April 12, 1927, acting on orders from the Extraterritorial International Settlements on Shanghai headed by Lord William Johnston Keswick,[25] the Green Gang Syndicate and Chiang Kai-shek, leading the Nationalist Army in a reign of terror, purged the leftists and labor activists from Shanghai in what is referred to as the Shanghai Massacre. They executed 5,000 to 6,000 of those captured and drove the CCP underground.[26] Within six months the Chinese Communist movement was halted as many as twenty-five thousand perished in Shanghai, Nanking, Wusih, Soochow, Changchow, Hangchow, and Canton.[27] Probably, most of those who perished could not even fully elaborate on the Communist ideology but wished to alleviate their own misery and poverty.
Chiang had been introduced to the Green Gang as early as 1906 and was sponsored for membership in 1908 and participated in gang activities as an officer of the Chinese army prior to the 1911 revolution. His police record in the British-administered international settlement in Shanghai included murder, extortion, and armed robbery.[28]
The Green Gang, operating from the French concession, was a criminal cabal and the most powerful secret society in China which was absorbed into the corporate state system after 1932. When opium imports were banned in 1917, drug dealing went underground and the Shanghai traffickers set up their own refineries. Thereafter, illegal drug distribution was dominated by the Green Gang, headed by Tu Yue-sheng who was head of the Chung Wai Bank and chairman of the board of directors of the Commercial Bank of China which made it easy to finance his drug enterprise.[29]
Lord Keswick actually directed China’s opium policy through Tse-ven Soong, who carried out the day-to-day business operations for Jardine Matheson from 1927 to 1942. Keswick was the Director of Jardine Matheson and was closely associated with the management of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. Additionally, he was Chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Council, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, Director of the Bank of England, Vice-Chairman of Alliance Assurance, and Director of British Petroleum. Shanghai became a drug depot. Earlier, Keswick had collaborated with Sam and Abe Bronfman to found the Pure Drug Company to illegally distribute whiskey into Canada.[30]
In June 1932, Tse-ven Soong resigned as Finance Minister after failing to raise sufficient money to fight communism. He agreed to return if the government of China would resort to opium as a new revenue source which might solve China’s financial crisis. Consequently, millions of acres were taken out of food production which greatly impacted food-short China and reduced peasant survival. The worst famine occurred in the Shaanxl Province between 1928 and 1933, wiping out a third of the population. As many as six million lives were lost in four provinces.[31]
Personal freedoms have been under world-wide attack, especially since the inception of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and its spin-off organizations which played a part in the tyrannical control in the Far East. In 1925, the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) was established in twelve countries. It was financed by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations and controlled by an alliance of Morgan and Rockefeller interests in Wall Street.[32] Other financing came from Standard Oil, IT&T, Vacuum Oil, Shell Oil, International Business Machines (IBM), International General Electric, Time Magazine, J. P. Morgan, National City Bank and Chase National Bank and private individuals with Wall Street connections.[33]
Harry Dexter White and Owen Lattimore, both high-level State Department officials, were members of the IPR and planned the destruction of the Chinese economy. They falsified documents claiming that the Chinese Communists were simply farmers promoting agricultural reform. From 1943-49, popular U.S. magazines, like the Saturday Evening Post and Colliers, sanctioned the Communist movement. Mao Tse-tung, who had fought on the side of Dr. Sun’s revolutionaries in 1911, was portrayed as a reformer. In 1945, Lattimore suggested, to President Truman, a Communist/Nationalist coalition government which became the basis of Truman’s China policy, announced on December 15, 1945.[34] Dr. Chi Chao-ting, who collaborated with Soviet intelligence agents, worked for the Institute of Pacific Relations, and subsequently became a high Chinese Communist official.[35]
The IPR’s party line and the Kremlin’s party line emanate from the same source – the left wing of the Hegelian Dialectic (orchestrated opposition). The right-wing is Fascism. Darwin-influenced Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) founded Nietzscheism, a forerunner of the Fascism, embraced after WWI by Mussolini and Hitler. Mussolini’s Doctrine of Fascism, co-written by Giovanni Gentile and Marx’s earlier Communist Manifesto (1848) provided the polar political opposites that bred the Cold War.
Lattimore left the IPR to assume a post as Chiang Kai-shek’s political advisor in 1941. He had been recommended by fellow traveler, Lauchlin Currie, economic advisor to President Roosevelt.[36] The U.S. government predictably adopted the IPR plan to cut aid and ammunition to Chiang Kai-shek, ultimately resulting in the suppression of 600,000,000 Chinese between 1945 and 1949.[37] But Chiang got his $3 million, a mansion, a well-connected wife and a relatively cushy life. The Chinese who survived, the so-called, collateral damage, got tyrannical Communism.
