EVER WONDER WHY THE WORD "KA CHING" MEANS MONEY?

John Perkins Cushing, called “Ku-Shing” by the Chinese, sailed for China when only sixteen years old, to take the position of clerk in the counting-house of his uncle, Colonel Thomas Handasyd Perkins. The head of the firm in China at this time was Ephraim Bumstead, who was soon obliged to leave Canton on account of illness, and died at sea. Young Cushing, therefore, arrived in China at this early age to find that he was the only representative of the Perkins firm in the East. Colonel Perkins, on hearing of Mr.Bumstead’s death, at once prepared to go to China, but just before sailing he received letters from the young apprentice, who presented the condition of affairs in such a favorable light that the intended journey was abandoned. Cushing managed the affairs of the firm so skillfully that the consignments continually increased. He was soon taken into partnership with the Perkinses and continued with them until the consolidation of their firm with Russell & Co. in 1827.”

After the First "Opium War", Russell & Co. Became the Third Largest Dealer in Opium

In 1851, Baring and Bates brought in another American, Russell Sturgis as partner.

Despite the embarrassment to his partners caused by his sympathies for the South in the American Civil War, Sturgis proved a capable banker and, following the death of Bates in 1864, gradually assumed a leadership role in the firm. In the 1850s and 1860s, commercial credit business provided the firm with its 'bread and butter' income.​

ROOTS OF THE TERM "BRAHMIN" AND THUG

IN CLASS WARFARE

THUGGEE OR BRAHMIN

THE ORIGINS OF THE BOSTON BRAHMIN

The English Politicians understood that there was a casted system in India that placed great separation between classes. This idea resonated with these politicians/thugs and they adopted the concept for themselves.
In the Indian language, a Brahmin is a member of the priestly class in the Indian subcontinent and belongs to the upper caste society.
Meanwhile, a THUGGEE sect\fraternity of assassins were of the lowest class; ironically, there isn't much of a difference between a brahmin and a thug .
Both are out to get your money and property and care only about themselves.

 

SECOND: BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY 

Under England's Governor General Warren Hastings  ( IT WAS HIS IDEA TO START OPIUM SMUGGLING INTO CHINA)
an administrative precedent was set which profoundly shaped later attitudes towards the government of British India. Hastings had a great respect for the ancient scripture of Hinduism and set the British position on governance as one of looking back to the earliest precedents possible.

This allowed Brahmin advisors to mold the law. This approach accentuated the Hindu caste system and, to an extent, the frameworks of other religions. Thus, British influence on the fluid social structure of India can in large part be characterized as a solidification of the privileges of the Hindu caste system through the influence of the exclusively high-caste scholars by whom the British were advised in the formation of their laws.

ORIGINS OF THE BOSTON BRAHMINS' OPIUM DRUG SMUGGLING WEALTH

FIND ALL THE BOSTON BRAHMINS IN THE PANAMA PAPERS

As we have seen in previous chapters, when the British East India Company established its grip on India in the eighteenth century, it took over a system of state control over opium.  The British initially traded massive amounts of opium to China for its goods. However, at one point, the Chinese emperor saw how much opium was hurting his country and forbid Opium's importation. Despite the Emperor's protests, the British forced China to take its Opium...or else!  The British victories in the Opium Wars forced China to submit to Britain's demands to open its ports and markets to opium---one of the saddest and most embarrassing stories rarely mentioned in history books. JARDINE MATHESON 

As the [ Panama Papers ] British East India company slowly gave up its opium trade, it transferred the business of illegal opium drug smuggling to American merchants who continued the highly profitable business of international drug pushers. The wealthiest 1% of America, the Boston Brahmins, continued this legacy of illegal opium drug smuggling. It is important to fully comprehend what is not told in our history books: that one of the driving forces of wealth in the American north was illegal opium trade.

PERKINS & RUSSELL
 
FOUNDING FATHERS OF U.S. OPIUM DRUG RACKET

THE KEY PLAYERS 

Russell & Company was the largest and most important American trading house in China from 1842 to its closing in 1891.
Samuel Russell founded Russell & Company in Canton, China, in 1824. Dealing mostly in silks, teas and opium, Russell & Company prospered, and by 1842, it had become the largest American trading house in China. It kept its dominance until its closing in 1891. Russell withdrew from the company in 1836 and returned to the United States.

Samuel Russell, second cousin to Bones founder William H., established Russell and Company in 1823.

Its business was to acquire opium from Turkey and smuggle it into China, where it was strictly prohibited, under the armed protection of the British Empire.The prior, predominant American gang in this field had been the syndicate created by Thomas Handasyd Perkins of Newburyport, Massachusetts, an aggregation of the self-styled “blue bloods”' or Brahmins of Boston's north shore. Forced out of the lucrative African slave trade by U.S. law and Caribbean slave revolts, leaders of the Cabot, Lowell, Higginson, Forbes, Cushing and Sturgis families had married Perkins siblings and children. The Perkins opium syndicate made the fortune and established the power of these families. By the 1830s, the Russells had bought out the [[[[ PANAMA PAPERS ]]] Perkins syndicate and made Connecticut the primary center of the U.S. opium racket. Massachusetts families (Coolidge, Sturgis, Forbes and Delano) joined Connecticut (Alsop) and New York (Low) smuggler-millionaires under the Russell auspices. (Certain of the prominent Boston opium families, such as Cabot and Weld, did not affiliate directly with Russell, Connecticut and Yale, but were identified instead with Harvard.)

John Quincy Adams and other patriots had fought these men for a quarter century by the time the Russell Trust Association was set up with its open pirate emblem -- Skull and Bones. With British ties of family, shipping and merchant banking, the old New England Tories had continued their hostility to American independence after the Revolutionary War of 1775-83.

Boston Brahmins Conversing - Class Warfare the American Aristrocracy
How A Fake British Accent Took Old Hollywood By Storm
The story behind the strange way Katharine Hepburn (and others) spoke.  By @DanNosowitz
Financial and cultural elites began constructing their own kind of vaguely-British institutions, especially in the form of prestigious private schools. And those schools had elocution classes.
Edith Skinner: A linguistic prescriptivist, meaning that she believed that some variations of English are flat-out superior to others, called this accent "Good Speech" and wrote about it in her 1942 book titled 1942 book, "Speak With Distinction". “In Good Speech, ALL vowel sounds are oral sounds, to be made with the soft palate raised. Thus the breath flows out through the mouth only, rather than through the mouth and nose,” she writes. (She capitalizes things a lot.) “Each vowel sound is called a PURE SOUND, and the slightest movement or change in any of the organs of speech during the formation of a vowel will mar its purity, resulting in DIPHTHONGIZATION.” In her efforts to create a neutral accent, Skinner created one of the most non-neutral accents in the past few centuries.
The entire concept of an elocution class is wildly offensive to most of the modern linguists I know; following the rise of super-linguist Bill Labov in the 1960s, the concept that one way of speaking is “better” or “worse” than another is basically anathema. But that wasn’t at all the case for the rich kids of Westchester County, Beacon Hill, or the Main Line (those would be the home of the elites of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, respectively).

William Labov “There's a long history of dialect features of Southeast England in Eastern New England dialects, tracing back directly to the colonial era,” writes  James Stanford, a linguist at Dartmouth College, in an email. “European settlers throughout New England on the east side of Vermont's Green Mountains tended to stay in closer touch with Boston, which in turn stayed in touch with Southeast England through commerce and education.”

The upper-class New England accent of that time shares some things with modern New England accents. The most obvious of those is non-rhoticity, which refers to dropping the “r” sounds in words like “hear” and “Charles.”

But while parts of those accents are natural—some New Yorkers and many Bostonians still drop their “r” sounds today—the elite Northeastern accent was ramped up artificially by elocution teachers at boarding schools. Miss Porter’s School in Connecticut (where Jackie Onassis was educated), the Groton School in Massachusetts (FDR), St. Paul’s School (John Kerry), and others all decided to teach their well-heeled pupils to speak in a certain way, a vaguely British-y speech pattern meant to sound aristocratic, excessively proper, and, weirdly, not regionally specific. A similar impulse created the British Received Pronunciation, the literal Queen’s English, though RP’s roots arose a bit more gradually and naturally in Southeastern England.

He was was Weld Professor of Law at the Harvard Law School, of which he was an alumnus. His father was the prominent writer and physician Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. who coined the term "Boston Brahmin". And it was Oliver Wendell Homes Jr. who believed as his father did of the superiority of the "Boston Brahmins" as a group of people over anyone else which is why he helped the study of "eugenics" and passed  Supreme Court Ruling That Led To 70,000 Forced Sterilizations sterilize imbeciles, morons In 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, by a vote of 8 to 1, to uphold a state's right to forcibly sterilize a person considered unfit to procreate.

By making sure members would attain the most influential positions in Media, Academia, and Government (and Intelligence).

drug pushers'
 incredible  Influence on politics

THE INCONCEIVABLE POWER AND INFLUENCE OF BONESMEN

Many  names on the list speak for themselves. However, just to make things clear, there have been three Skull and Bones Presidents (including our nation's current leader George W. Bush), at least 10 Senators, two Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and many US representatives and state governors. 

Bonesmen have held many significant appointed posts and positions, with a particular affinity for the Central Intelligence Agency. 

It is the Boston Brahmin/Skull and Bones influenced CIA that fights the so called "War on Drugs"  to make sure that Boston Brahmin drug money trail is carefully tracked.


Other notables:

Among the early initiates of the order were Henry Rootes Jackson (S&B 1839), a leader of the 1861 Georgia Secession Convention and post-Civil War president of the Georgia Historical Society (thus the false accounts of the ``good old slavery days'' and the ``bad northern invaders'');

John Perkins, Jr. (S&B 1840), chairman of the 1861 Louisiana Secession Convention, who fled abroad for 13 years after the Civil War; and William Taylor Sullivan Barry (S&B 1841), a national leader of the secessionist wing of the Democratic Party during the 1850s, and chairman of the 1861 Mississippi Secession Convention.

William Russell went on to become a general and a state legislator in Connecticut.

Alphonso Taft (1832) Co-founder of Skull and Bones, was the most influential Trustee of Antioch College.

In 1853 Taft appointed Horace Mann as President of Antioch. Taft was appointed U.S. Attorney General, Secretary of War (a post many "Bonesmen" have held), Ambassador to Austria, and Ambassador to Russia (another post held by many "Bonesmen"). His son, William Howard Taft ('87), is the only man to be both President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Remember that England also conquered and owned India at the same time that the original English Puritans came to America.

Other Russell partners were John Cleve Green, whose opium fortunes financed PRINCETON UNIVERSITY and Abiel Abbott Low, whose opium fortune financed the construction of COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

Russell & Co. partner Abiel Abbott Low was the father of Seth Low; Seth Low was the President of Columbia University from 1890 to 1901 and the Mayor of New York City from 1902 to 1903. Seth Low was the President of Columbia University during the Spanish-American War (1898- 1899) and the Chinese Boxer Rebellion (1899-1900).

 

 

The Boston
Tea PartY:

AN american myth hiding the true story

 

The popular myth of the Boston Party is about American democratic revolt against the British Empire as is described in the normative account below. However, in reality, Americans at the time already had access to cheaper tea alternatives (via smuggling). So what was the Boston Tea Party really about? Could it be that it was opium inside those barrels?

Is it possible that the "Boston Tea Party" symbolically took power from the well known power (the British Empire), but actually transferred that power into the hands of the Boston Brahmins?

Boston Tea Party
The cargo manifests of all the three British ships involved in the Boston Tea Party, the Beaver, the Eleanor and the Dartmouth included opium. During the 1770s, the Chinese were trading silk and spices for European gold, nearly bankrupting the East India Company and the Rothschilds banking establishment. The tea spilled into the Boston was East India company tea, who had a monopoly of the Opium trade from India to China on tea clippers.

"Taxation Without Representation"
meant hitting the average person and small business with taxes while letting the richest and most powerful corporation in the world off the hook for its taxes. It was government sponsorship of one corporation over all competitors.
The Boston Tea Party Was Similar to Modern Day Anti-globalization Protests.
The purpose of the Tea Act was to give the East India Company full and unlimited access to the American tea trade, and exempt the company from having to pay taxes to Britain on tea exported to the American colonies. It even gave the company a tax refund on millions of pounds of tea they were unable to sell and holding in inventory.
One purpose of the Tea Act was to increase the profitability of the East India Company to its stockholders (which included the King), and to help the company drive its colonial small business competitors out of business. The Boston Tea Party arose from two issues confronting the British Empire in 1773: the financial problems of the British East India Company, and an ongoing dispute about the extent of Parliament's sovereignty over the British American colonies.
American colonists resented this favored treatment of a major company, (East India Company) which employed lobbyists and wielded great influence in Parliament. Protests resulted in both Philadelphia and New York, but it was those in Boston that made their mark in history. John Hancock organized a boycott of tea from China sold by the British East India Company, whose sales in the colonies then fell dramatically. By 1773, the company had large debts, huge stocks of tea in its warehouses and no prospect of selling it because smugglers, such as Hancock, and Samuel Adams were importing tea from Holland without paying import taxes. The British government passed the Tea Act, which allowed the East India Company to sell tea to the colonies directly and without "payment of any customs or duties whatsoever" in Britain, instead paying the much lower American duty. This tax break allowed the East India Company to sell tea for half the old price and cheaper than the price of tea in England, enabling them to undercut the prices offered by the colonial merchants and smugglers.

The Boston brahmins --the fabulously rich Cabot family were in the so called "tea import " trade and the slave trade.
