STORY TELLERS: LEARNING WHO THE REAL PIRATES ARE

 

YOU CAN'T THINK CLEARLY WITHOUT USING THE CORRECT WORDS

WHOEVER OWNS THE LANGUAGE OWNS THE CONVERSATION

Take back the language from those who have had the power to decide what has been used in textbooks. The purpose is to take the language back and use it to accurately describe who people really are and what they actually did so that everyone can truthfully discuss history. The only way to protect yourself from harm is to know a predator when you see one. Whoever owns the language owns the conversation! Owning the language will allow the reader to comprehend the story and protect themselves. Everyone needs to recognize a predator pirate when they see one - no matter what century you live in.

Do Limits in Language Prevent Us from Seeing Who a Pirate Really Is?

Education & Media, from Classrooms to Disney Movies, Have Blinded Us from Being Able to See the Real Pirates

PIRACY AND KNIGHTHOOD
Piracy has a long and well-rewarded tradition in Western history. An example from the 16th century is Sir John Hawkins (1532–1595), credited with giving birth to the global slave trade  Born into a family of wealthy pirates, Hawkins early on in his career captured 300 individuals in Sierra Leone, which he transported to the West Indies and traded as slaves in exchange for pearls, hides, and sugar.  This trade was so lucrative that Queen Elizabeth I of England wanted in on the action, as a means of topping up her depleted Treasury, and sponsored Hawkins’ subsequent missions. Sir John—who had a roguish knack (somewhat akin to the CIA) for combining commerce, warfare, and piracy with national defense—spent the rest of his life in service to the Queen and was knighted in 1588 for his role as a pirate and spy in defeating the Spanish Armada.
Hawkins’ fame allowed him, in 1571, to enter Parliament, and subsequently, to become treasurer and comptroller of the navy. Even in America, the position of Secretary of the Navy has been used as an important steppingstone to be Secretary of War (we now refer to it euphemistically as “Defense”) or even of the U.S. Treasury. Hawkins’ career met with an unfortunate obstacle when he was charged with using his office to his personal financial advantage. He was, however, exonerated after an inquiry by a royal commission.”
Knighthood and titles of nobility are not permitted under the American Constitution.  Nevertheless, some notable Americans have been awarded a title as Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
As American citizens they cannot use the title "Sir" but are entitled to put the letters KBE after their names. George H.W. Bush and Bill Gates have accepted such knighthoods. We can only wonder what piracy they performed for the benefit of the Empire.  
American pirates normally receive rewards at home in the form of secret favors and “get out of jail free” cards, such as the pardons granted to Iran-Contra defendants by President George H.W. Bush,  who viewed their illegal acts as patriotic. Even though they clearly and knowingly violated a law duly passed by Congress in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Constitution, those government officials were more surprised than anyone by their indictments and prosecution. They had followed a long-established pattern of subterfuge in funding activities designed to further the desired policies of the President.  Using a series of financial cut-outs and sham corporations quite similar to those used by stock manipulators of a century ago, they operated “government policy” outside the authorized Constitutional framework.  
The knowledge about how to finance such “non-government” foreign policy of the executive branch is the type of secret knowledge to which only insiders such as members of Skull and Bones have access.  It is the secret lore of the craft—the how to of obtaining power, financed by off-balance-sheet accounting methods and covered up by political influence, extortion and bribery. In short, it is a lesson on how to be a pirate and be knighted for it.

• A Pirate - One who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without commission from a sovereign nation. 
• A Privateer is a private person or ship authorized by a government by letters of marque to attack foreign shipping during wartime.  A ship bearing letters of marque (q.v.)  can only attack an enemy ship, and only in time of war, but does so as a representative of her country. A privateer is theoretically a law-abiding combatant, and entitled to be treated as an honorable prisoner if captured.
• The Buccaneers were privateers who attacked Spanish shipping in the Caribbean Sea during the late 17th century. As a rule, the buccaneers called themselves privateers, and many sailed under the protection of a letter of marque granted by British or French authorities.

 

Limiting Our Conception of What or Who a Pirate is Can Prevent Us from Seeing How the Queen of England Has Been a Pirate or How Large Corporations She Authorized Have Been the Most Ruthless Pirates.

Corporations and Maritime History: 

Corporations, such as the British East India Company, were insured by large Banks and authorized by the Queen of England to plunder the wealth of India and other countries. 

John Julius Angerstein (1732 – 22 January 1823), a London businessman and Lloyd's under-writer.Angerstein himself owned a share in a slave plantation in Grenada. Lloyds moved to its present home in Lime Street in 1958 November.

Lloyds of London has its beginnings in a society formed to write marine insurance policies by merchants and sea captains who gather at Edward Lloyd's 1-year-old coffeehouse in Tower Street near the Thames. Lloyds will move to larger and more luxurious quarters in Lombard Street in 1691, encouraging the underwriters by providing quill pens, ink, paper, and shipping information while his staff of five serves coffee, tea, and sherbet.

The term "underwriting" will derive from his patrons' practice of writing their names, one beneath the other, at the bottom of each policy, with each man writing the amount he will insure until the full amount is subscribed (see Lloyd's List, 1696).

 

INHERENT VICE 
Hidden defect (or the very nature) of a good or property which of itself is the cause of (or contributes to) its deterioration, damage, or wastage. Such characteristics or defects make the item an unacceptable risk to a carrier or insurer. If the characteristic or defect is not visible, and if the carrier or the insurer has not been warned of it, neither of them may be liable for any claim arising solely out of the inherent vice.
Marine insurance law involves the inherent vice exclusion. When goods are insured on all risks basis the usual terms exclude loss, damage or expense proximately caused by inherent vice or nature of the subject matter insured. This means that damage or loss caused by the nature of the thing itself, as opposed to damage from an external occurrence, is not covered. There have been a myriad of cases involving cargo interests suing underwriters who have declined coverage on the grounds that the loss occurred due to inherent vice. While there is no predictable factual pattern many of the cases revolve around spontaneous combustion, disease, decay or fermentation and insufficiency of packing. However, perhaps the most perplexing cases involve moisture condensation resulting in wetting damage.

OVERTHROW SLAVERY by making insurance companies payBANKSTERS, INSURANCE COMPANIES BUILT ON SLAVERS.

The Zong Case became a seminal step towards the mission of slavery.

Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of British Navy admiral Sir John Lindsay and a female Caribbean slave. Belle was taken to London by Sir John, who left her to be brought up in the aristocratic surroundings of Kenwood House, by his uncle, the 1st Earl of Mansfield. Lord Mansfield was an eminent Scottish lawyer who became Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.

Lord Mansfield,  had been born William Murray at Scone in 1705 and educated at Perth Grammar School. He had a son who in turn had a mulatto baby named Dido Elizabeth Belle.  Lord Mansfield successors are still the owners of Scone Palace, the family seat of the Mansfields, where the portrait of Dido Belle and Elizabeth is on display.

Lord Mansfield is said to have played a pivotal role in the abolition of slavery. It also suggests that Lord Mansfield's judicial decisions relating to slavery were much affected by having Belle in his home. In 1772, when Belle was 11, the judge ruled that no slave could be taken from England or Wales under force, saying: "The state of slavery is of such a nature and so odious that nothing can be suffered to support it". He also presided over the infamous "Zong Massacre" case in which 142 African slaves were hurled from a ship and drowned so that their owners could claim insurance for "damaged cargo". Lord Mansfield ruled that the slave owners could not claim money and that slaves were not disposable. The horrific treatment of slaves highlighted by the case strengthened the abolitionist movement, which eventually led to the British slave trade being outlawed in 1807.

One of the biggest cases in the history of the Atlantic Slave trade brought out the issues of carelessness and selfish acts. The story of the slave ship Zong gives a remarkable account of how slaves were being murdered. The ship was under the command of Luke Collingwood and his crew. They left from the coast of Africa on September 6, 1781 on a voyage to Jamaica. On November 27, 1781 they arrived at an Island that they thought was Jamaica. By November 29, 1781 the ship had unfortunately claimed the lives of seven white men and sixty African slaves. The crew had packed on more slaves than they had room and this caused a lot of disease and malnutrition. In Black Slaves in Britain, Shyllon states, "Chained two by two, right leg and left leg, right hand and left hand, each slave had less room than a man in a coffin."  It is no wonder why so many slaves were sick and had died, they were treated like animals and given hardly enough room to breathe. Well that very day, Luke Collingwood made the decision of throwing the remaining sick Africans over the boat. He pulled his crew together and told them that if the sick slaves died a natural death, then the responsibility would be on them as the ship's crew. He then stated that if the slaves were thrown over while still alive for the safety of the ship it would be the under the responsibility of the underwriters. This seems very unjust, but at the time it was a law in Europe because slaves were seen as merchandise and a matter of insurance. The Law reads as followed:

 

THE REAL PIRATES: BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY

The British East India Corporation was a corporation at Sea designed to plunder wealth. 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 that had been a source of revenue for the Mogul empire. 

1622 Under James I, the East India Company becomes a joint stock company.

1661 Charles II in England, in an attempt to retain his throne, grants the East India Company the power to make war.

Elihu Yale was born near Boston, educated in London, and served with the British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort Saint George, Madras, in 1687. He would go on to found Yale University where the original American pirates, the Boston Brahmins, founded Skull and Bones to protect their wealth.

1729 Opium smoking had been officially barred by the Manchu emperors at Peking since 1729—an inconvenient fact, which, until shortly before Ned arrived in China, Chinese officials and Western traders alike found it easy enough to ignore in the interest of vast profits. 

1757 Bengal made a British Crown Colony, and Britain expands its trafficking in Opium.

1792 Anti-Saccharite Society forms in Europe to protest effect of sugar on people. It induces a British sugar boycott through Europe. The British East India companies, already involved with opium drug trafficking, uses the slavery issue for an advertising campaign “East India sugar not made by slaves”, for its sugar trafficking.

1796 Edict of Peking forbids import of opium into China.

1811 Normally, the British East India Company was able to maintain a monopoly over the sale of opium to China. However, in this year an American brig, the Sylph out of Philadelphia, was able to get a cargo of opium from Smyrna to Macau. By 1817 Americans would be in control of 10% of this international drug traffic, but the 10% which America would control would be the low-rent 10% as the Chinese considered this Turkish opium to be inferior both in flavor and in potency. 1817 Production began, from opium, of a substance termed “morphine” because it seemed to induce sleep. (The considerably more toxic substance named, by the Bayer Company, “heroin,” would not be produced from opium until 1874.)

1811 British occupation of the Danish West Indies St. Croix U.S.V.I was the biggest sugar producing country in the world.

1817 Production began, from opium, of a substance termed “morphine” because it seemed to induce sleep. 
(The considerably more toxic substance named, by the Bayer Company, “heroin,” would not be produced from opium until 1874.)

1819 The British East India Company's opium trade in China had reached 10,000 chests annually: The Central Kingdom had begun to chase the dragon
1821 Thomas de Quincey's CONFESSIONS OF AN ENGLISH OPIUM-EATER appeared in London Magazine
1823 An indigenous bush producing leaves that contained caffeine was found growing in Upper Assam. This, eventually, would break the Chinese monopoly on tea. The 1st agricultural laborers in tea in northern India would be Chinese accustomed to work on Chinese tea plantations, who would be enticed by Charles Bruce out of China to transplant young native bushes into nursery beds.​ Warren Delano sailed from Boston for Canton on behalf of Russel & Co. He would return after traffic in opium had made him a wealthy man. He well knew that opium was “black dirt,” but defended his conduct by pointing out that alcoholic beverages were also being imported into America.​

Warren Hastings, India's first governor general, had understood both the drug's dangers and its attractions: “Opium is not a necessary of life,” he said, “but a pernicious article of luxury which ought not to be permitted except for purposes of foreign commerce only.” At his direction the company planted vast pink and white fields of opium poppies on the Ganges plain, then monopolized the sale of the drug they yielded. Hastings's encouragement paid off; opium exports to China eventually accounted for one seventh of British India's revenues.

By 1830 the opium trade at Canton was said to be the most valuable trade in any single commodity, anywhere on earth.

1832 The Skull & Bones is launched under the Russell pirate flag.

1832 East India Company monopoly of opium trafficking expires.

June 20 1832, with symbolism bordering on the vulgar, two English sailors from The Lord Amherst shouldered open the locked entrance gates of the major public building in Shanghai so that their commander could present a petition demanding that the city be opened to British trade.

1840 First Opium War in China, as Chinese protest British import of drugs. 

1842 Treaty of Nanking brings Britain vast wealth and control over Hong Kong.

1843 Port of Shanghai opened to foreign trade.
The first lot in the port is rented by Britains Jardine Mathieson & Co. Other lots are rented by Samuel Russell, an American representing Baring Brothers. Captain Warren Delano (FDRs grandfather) becomes a member of the Canton Regatta Club, and enters into dealings with the Hong Society. Delano founds his fortune on opium trafficking into China, and later becomes the first vice chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board.

1846 Over 117,000 Chinese laborers brought to Western United States, feeding an imported opium trade estimated at 285,000 pounds per year into the US.

 

THE BEGINNING OF MAKING MONEY IN AMERICA 
THE BACKGROUND OF THE 1% REVEALED TO BE OPIUM DRUG SMUGGLING PIRATES

The Original American Pirates: also America's Original 1%

English Imperialism: Global Criminality, a corrupt financial institution harnessed to move money for drug runners, arms merchants, terrorists, spies, war mongers and war profiteers. The First families from England who sailed over to America then went to live in Boston, Cape Cod, and Nantucket. They became known as the Boston Brahmins and made all their money and wealth as Pirates Opium Drug Smugglers and Slavers.

Two of the most powerful influences in the world today are the international drug trade, which began with the East India Co., and international espionage, which began with the Bank of England. The East India Co. was granted a charter in 1600 in the closing days of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. In 1622, under James I, it became a joint stock company. In 1661, in an attempt to retain his throne, Charles II granted the East India Co. the power to make war. From 1700 to 1830, the East India Co. gained control of all India, and wrested the historic monopoly of opium from the Great Moguls.

The Opium Trade
"If the trade is ever legalized, it will cease to be profitable from that time. The more difficulties that attend it, the better for you and us." -- Directors of Jardine-Matheson

Jolly Roger: The pirates' skull-and-crossbones flag. It was an invitation to surrender, with the implication that those who surrendered would be treated well. A red flag indicated "no quarter."

 

Financial Literacy: The New United States of America was desperate for trade in the 1780s.

OPIUM IN THE U.S.

1789 Benjamin Franklin began the heavy use of opium to control the pain from his gallstone.
In 1776 but sixty tons of opium had been produced in all of India, but by this point the Indian production of opium had grown to some 300 tons. One box of 20 four-pound balls of Patna opium had become worth as much on the international market as two tons of Chinese tea.

1805 The USA began to fill its opium need primarily from the region east of Smyrna in Turkey.

1811 Normally, the British East India Company was able to maintain a monopoly over the sale of opium to China. However, in this year an American brig, the Sylph out of Philadelphia, was able to get a cargo of opium from Smyrna to Macau.

1813; the English Queen (government) abolished the East India Company monopoly of trade.
In 1833, it was deprived of its rights to trade altogether. But in the decades following the war of 1812, increasing demands for opium in China caught the interest of the US.

1817 Americans would be in control of 10% of this international drug traffic, but the 10% which America would control would be the low-rent 10% as the Chinese considered this Turkish opium to be inferior both in flavor and in potency.

1817 Production began, from opium, of a substance termed “morphine” because it seemed to induce sleep.
(The considerably more toxic substance named, by the Bayer Company, “heroin,” would not be produced from opium until 1874.)

1823 Warren Delano sailed from Boston for Canton on behalf of Russel & Co. He would return after traffic in opium had made him a wealthy man. He well knew that opium was “black dirt,” but defended his conduct by pointing out that alcoholic beverages were also being imported into America.

Perry, on November 7,  1849.  Matthew C. Perry was the brother of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry.  Commodore Matthew C. Perry’s wife Jane Slidell was sister of  Confederate envoy and former U.S. Senator John Slidell.​

1851 Warren Delano would settle in Newburgh, New York, where he would give the hand of his daughter in marriage to James Roosevelt (father of FDR).

The grandfather of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Warren Delano II) prospered immensely as head of the American firm Russell & Company who bought up opium crops in Turkey meant for sale in China. The Chinese never stopped viewing people like Matheson and W. Delano as criminals, and the conflict eventually escalated into war. The First Opium War ended in British victory in 1842, as did the second in 1858. This finally resulted in the legalization of the sale of opium in China, ending a nearly 100 year struggle over Britain's supposed right to sell opium to China.

 

 

The Perkins, Sturgis and Forbes families. Whose Opium and Bloody Slave Profits  financed Yale University. 

Skull and Bones - Perkins Family 
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 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.

• Other partners and captains included Joseph Taylor Gilman, William Henry King, John Alsop Griswold, Captain Lovett and Captain J. Prescott.
• Captain Prescott called on his friend and agent in Hong Kong F.T. Bush, Esq. frequently.

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.

Houqua (clipper)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houqua_%28clipper%29
The Houqua was named "in honor of the beloved Canton Hong merchant Houqua, who had died the year before, and with whom the Low brothers had traded with in China for many years. The Houqua was an early clipper ship with an innovative hull design, built for A.A. Low & Brother IN 1844  [HISTORY OF BANKING]  

She sailed in the China trade.
Houqua, (also spelled Howqua or Hoqua), was the most prominent Hong merchant of the day. He "was to take her delivery in China as a warship on behalf of the Chinese government. However, upon arrival, she was found to be too small, and so she spent her career in merchant service for A.A. Low.
Howqua (Chinese: 伍秉鉴; pinyin: Wu Bingjian, Cantonese: Ńg Bẽnkgm; 1769 – 4 September 1843[2]) was the most important of the Hong merchants in the Thirteen Factories, and the leader of the Canton Cohong - Ewo (怡和). EWO means Happy Harmony. He was once one of the richest men in the world.

 

The Low Brothers were early on the scene in China.

SEE THE FAMILY MARRIAGES AND UNDERSTAND THE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION SUBSIDIARIES

They were all sons of Seth Low, a drug merchant of Salem who had a dozen sons. Seth Low saw his opportunity as early as 1833, and had made his fortune in the China tea trade and importing such exotic wares as mocha, asafetida, gum arabic, and musk in pods. Like many of the Yankee merchants, the Lows had moved from Salem to New York City, finding it a much more suitable location from which to conduct their business. They were such a numerous clan that someone from Salem, in jest, made up a jingle about them: "Old Low, old Low's son, Never saw so many Lows since the world begun."

William Henry Low 1795 – March 22, 1834 was an American drug smuggling pirate from Salem, Massachusetts, who was one of the American pioneers in smuggling opium into China. In 1828, having settled in Canton, China, Low was admitted as a partner of the Russell & Co. trading company, as a replacement chosen by founding partner Philip Ammidon. Senior partner of the firm, he retired in 1833 after having recruited his nephew, Abiel Abbot Low.

Abiel Abbott Low: In 1833, Low sailed to Canton, China, and started working as a clerk for the mercantile house of Russell & Company, the largest American firm in China and also the leading American opium trading and smuggling enterprise into China, founded by Samuel Russell, and of which Low's uncle, William Henry Low, had been head for some years. In 1837, after four years of learning the intricacies of trading in China, Low became a partner in the firm. In 1840, he launched his own business in a joint venture with Wu Bingjian, also known as Howqua, a mentor for young Americans in China, a very important Hong merchant, head of the Canton Cohong and one of the richest men in China. A. A. Low's opium drug smuggling pirate money financed the construction of Columbia University. 

He had been in Canton for seven years serving with the merchant firm of Russell & Company. One Low brother after another followed him to Canton to work for the same firm. Abbott had made his fortune by 1840 and returned to New York the following year and continued to conduct his business in New York and established the family firm of A. A. Low & Bros.
