Rodney Stich - Defrauding America
By: Firestarter Date: April 10, 2020, 10:42 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Rodney Stich in his 1993 book describes that the CIA really is
organized crime.
Stich based his book mainly on intelligence sources. While I do
not believe that all of his sources are reliable, because he has
used many sources most of the shocking claims should stand up in
a court of law…
Stich and other whistleblowers targeted
Some parts of the book describe how Rodney Stich was an FAA
investigator and became a whistleblower trying to expose gross
negligence causing plane crashes. Stich describes how he was
targeted by the (federal) government to cover this up. Stich was
falsely charged and imprisoned by a corrupt legal system.
Stich’s millions were taken from him and he was imprisoned by
using the corrupt legal system and Chapter 11 confiscation,
using a sham divorce judgment (Stich had been divorced for more
than 20 years).
The ACLU refused to help Stich against the many civil right
violations. The Friedman law firm that got Stich stripped of his
rights was a key member of the San Francisco ACLU.
Stich describes that he wasn’t the only one. Many people who
threatened to expose criminal activities of federal officials,
conveniently ended up dead. Over 300 CIA and DEA personnel who
tried to expose corrupt CIA activities were locked up.
For example Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche was framed
and arrested for mail fraud after the Justice Department had
bankrupted his company so it could not repay loans.
One of Stich’s main sources is former high-ranking deep-cover
CIA operative, Gunther Russbacher, who he met when he was locked
up at the Federal Correctional Center at Dublin, California.
Russbacher had flown to Central America for the CIA, accompanied
by trustee Charles Duck (who was involved in taking Stich’s
millions); attorneys of the law firms of Friedman, Sloan and
Ross; Goldberg, Stinnett and McDonald (who seized and looted his
conjunction with Duck and Judge Robert Jones); and Murray and
Murray (who took over after Duck was sent to prison).
[B]Vietnam heroin and killing POWs[/B]
An officer from the army's Criminal Investigation Division
uncovered a large-scale heroin smuggling scheme in which the
corpses of dead GIs flying back to the US were cut open, gutted,
and filled with sacks of heroin. Some 50 pounds of heroin were
stuffed per body.
Even more shocking is that Robert L. Freeman's group was ordered
to kill American prisoners of war (POWs) if they couldn’t be
rescued.
See the following Top Secret cable, dated 21 January 1964,
confirming that 40 American POWs had been “TERMINATED”. Copies
were sent to President Lyndon Johnson; presidential security
advisor McGeorge Bundy; CIA director John McCone.

CIA drugs for arms pipelines
Examples of the many CIA proprietary airlines that were involved
in arms and/or drugs trafficking include : Civil Air Transport
(CAT); Air America; Southern Air Transport; Global International
Airways; St. Lucia Airways; Intermountain Airways; Summit
Aviation; Arrow Airlines; Apex Aviation at Spirit of St. Louis
Airport; Evergreen International Airlines; Race Aviation; Ransom
Aircraft: Resorts International; Flying Tiger Line; Response
Air; Seagreen Air; Skyways Aviation; International Air Tours;
Capital Airlines; Air Asia; Rich Mountain Aviation; Southwest
Airlines.
Bill Tyree said that former high-ranking CIA operative Ted
Shackley, was deeply involved in Operation Watchtower and other
CIA-related drug operations. During the Vietnam War, Shackley
helped manage the CIA drug operations in the Golden Triangle,
and was the executive director of the Phoenix Program.
Russell Bowen described that INTERKREDIT, with offices in
Medellin, Amsterdam, and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, was one of the
CIA proprietaries operated by Shackley.
In January 1976, Crittenden Air Transport (CAT) made its first
flight to Beijing, China, delivering arms and bringing back a
load of heroin, for which CAT received $100,000 from the
Shamrock Corporation. The drugs from that flight were unloaded
at Bangkok, Thailand, where Southern Air Transport, picked it up
for delivery at Los Angeles.
Stephen Crittenden described that he delivered either arms or
drugs, including heroin from Southeast Asia or cocaine and
marijuana from Latin America for the CIA. Crittenden used the
airport at Mena, Arkansas. He described that Arkansas state
police was guarding the operations.
Crittenden made several flights into Moscow during the Cold War,
including one flight in 1976 where M-16 rifles were off-loaded.
For the return flight he brought Russian AK 47s to San Salvador
in El Salvador. At San Salvador the unloading arms was
coordinated by John Forsyth, who worked for James Pennington,
the CIA's liaison to Anastasio Somoza, head of the Nicaraguan
government.
Crittenden described one strange flight in which 40 pretty
blonde women were flown to Hong Kong as "presents" from the CIA
to the military leaders of Communist China. The women were never
heard from again.
According to several CIA and DEA sources, the Mossad was also a
major player in the CIA drug trafficking in Latin America, which
included Michael "Freddy" Harari and David Kimche. The Mossad
worked hand-in-hand with the CIA and drug traffickers (including
the Medellin and Cali Cartels).
In December 1981, the CIA intentionally created a crisis
situation, the kidnapping of drug lord Jorge Luis Ochoa's
sister, Leona, as an impetus to form Colombia's Medellin Cartel.
CIA asset Trenton Parker described that the CIA paid the M-19
group 3 million dollars, $2 million in guns and $1 million in
cash, to carry out the kidnapping. Parker stated: [quote]I
personally delivered two million dollars to Fidel Castro. And
for those two million dollars he was to see that a shipment of
arms was to go to M-19.[/quote]
Michael Maholy wrote that Latin American oil and gas drilling
platforms of Bush’s Zapata Oil were used to funnel weapons and
money to the Nicaraguans, and also to traffic narcotics into the
US.
Richard Brenneke testified that the CIA was in partnership with
crime lord John Gotti.
The drug trafficking through Panama into the US didn't stop with
Noriega's kidnapping. The new puppet President of Panama was
Guillermo Endura, President of a Panamanian bank used by the
Medellin cartel. Picked for vice president was Guillermo Ford,
part owner of the Dadeland Bank of Florida, who was also
involved in money laundering.
Jim Rothstein described how evidence of the CIA drug and Mafia
links was delivered to district attorney Robert Morgenthau, and
that the evidence “disappeared” in a day. Rothstein also
described how New York City and county authorities refused to
prosecute drug criminals working with the CIA.
Does anybody remember Pizzagate?!?
FBI agent Richard Taus, working under Assistant U.S. Attorney
Louis Freeh, investigated the Pizza Connection, in which pizza
parlours and cheese factories were fronts for organised crime's
drug trafficking operations with CIA involvement. The CIA's
secret group in Freeport, Long Island were involved in the drug
trafficking, including Sal lmbergio, who ran for mayor.
Several of the CIA K-team operation were associated with a
nearby CIA-related firm called Drexel Company, of Drexel,
Burnham, Lambert, which later changed its name to Castle
Securities after its CIA-controlled Cayman Island parent, Castle
Bank.
Freeh refused to act on the connections between Drexel and the
drug activities.
Money laundering
The CIA laundered some of the drug money through banks that
knowingly accepted the funds, including Nugan Hand Bank; Bishop,
Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham and Wong; the Vatican Bank; Bank of
Lavoro; and Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
Nugan Hand bank was deeply involved in moving funds about the
world for big international heroin dealers. After this scandal
broke, in 1979 Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham and Wong
(BBRDW) was started, operated, and funded by the CIA to take its
place. BBRDW set up offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia,
Singapore, and Australia, all former Nugan Hand locations,
staffing the offices with over 30 CIA agents.
Ronald Rewald was framed by the Justice Department, the CIA and
federal judges; and sentenced to 80 years in prison. Rewald was
released long before those 80 years, in June 1995, though.
Rewald identified some of the people with secret bank accounts
(using fake names) including: George Bush; Richard Armitage;
William Casey; and Philippines' President Ferdinand and Imelda
Marcos.
Russbacher identified as CIA proprietaries or assets the
following savings and loans: Aurora Bank in the Denver area,
Silverado Bank Savings & Loan, Red Hill Savings and Loan, Hill
Financial, and Indian Springs State Bank.
Russbacher also stated that under National Fiduciary trust
Companies were Badner Bank and International Commerce Bank
Holding company. Under Badner Bank were various airlines,
including Zantop Airlines: Tower Airlines; Southern Air
Transport; Apollo Air; Virgin Air, and RAW World Service.
BCCI was a major money laundering bank operating in 78 countries
with at one time assets of over $20 billion. Bank of America and
the CIA had a major ownership in BCCI. BCCI had a secret and
illegal 28% ownership in CenTrust Savings Bank, whose failure
will cost the American taxpayer over $2 billion. CenTrust was
run by David Paul, a close friend of Senator Kerry, who
[s]investigated[/s] covered up the BCCI scandal, and didn’t take
any significant action.
William Barr was an attorney with the Washington law firm of
Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge that represented BCCI for
several years. William Barr was an attorney for Southern Air
Transport that coordinated the arms for drugs pipeline from and
to Arkansas and Central America.
One of the men behind the founding of BCCI was Jackson Stephens
(who financed Governor Clinton) who headed Stephens, Inc,
located in Little Rock, Arkansas. Stephens, Inc. was in business
with Harken Energy, where George Bush, Jr. was one the board of
directors. Junior’s brother, Jeb Bush, had numerous dealings
with BCCI and was frequently in BCCI's Miami office.
October surprise – bribing Ayatollah Khomeini
While the US military was preparing another rescue mission, the
Reagan-Bush team sabotaged the efforts by making this plan
public.
William Casey and other members of the Reagan-Bush team met
secretly with Iranian factions, offering bribes if the Americans
remained hostage until after the November 1980 elections. The
$40 million bribe money came from the Committee to Reelect the
President (CREEP)
Richard Brenneke testified that he saw George Bush and Donald
Gregg in Paris on the weekend of 19 October 1980.
Russbacher said: [quote]On the flight deck were pilots Richard
Brenneke, an Air Force pilot, and I was the command pilot. In
the cabin were George Bush; William Casey (who would be
appointed director of the CIA); Robert Gates; Donald Gregg (who
at that time was a member of President Carter's National
Security Council) and others.[/quote]
Russbacher stated that other passengers included George Cave
(former CIA Iran expert and translator); Richard Allen; Senators
John Tower and John Heinz; Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; and
Jennifer Fitzgerald of the State Department.
Russbacher also saw Adnan Khashoggi and Hashemi Rafsanjani
(Ayatollah Khomeini's second in command) in Paris.
Ari Ben-Menashe stated that he was a member of the Mossad's
advance team working with the French government, which arranged
the meetings on the 19 October 1980 weekend in Paris.
Oswald LeWinter stated that he saw George Bush, Donald Gregg and
William Casey at the Paris meeting.
Alexandre de Marenches said that he organised the meeting, on
the request of his friend, William Casey, but that he did not
attend it.
This 20 September 1985 document describes the arms-for-hostages
scheme showing Israeli involvement; identifying Gunther
Russbacher and Robert Hunt (2 of Stich’s sources); and names
Oliver North.
[IMG]
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20191106172045if_/http://rapeutation.com/guntherrussbacher.1c.gif[/img]
The initial meeting was held in Geneva on or about 14 March
1980, between Ahmed Heidari and Mohammed Hussein Behishti with
Cyrus Hashemi and Ari Ben-Menashe (of the Mossad).
At a second meeting in Barcelona at the Pepsico International
Headquarters Building, William Casey, Robert McFarlane and Peter
Van Tyne (executive vice-president for Pepsico) met with the
Iranians Hushang Lavi and Rogovin.
Russbacher described how the CIA’s Valley Bank in Phoenix played
a key role in moving money for the October Surprise.
This 27 May 1986 document from John Poindexter to Bill Casey
lists the bank account number of a CIA proprietary, for money
for the arms. Also listed are Khashoggi, Gunther Russbacher and
Robert Hunt. Vice President Bush apparently received a copy of
this document.

Lockerbie – Pan Am crash
Robert Hunt described how Pan Am planes out of Frankfurt were
used to smuggle drugs to the US, using Lebanese and Syrian drug
traffickers. This made it possible to put a bomb on Pan Am
Flight 103.
An apparent motive for killing everybody on board the plane were
2 assets of the CIA, Charles Mckee and Matthew Gannon, who were
returning to the United States to report on the CIA involvement
in drug trafficking.

For years now Nicolas Maduro’s popularity in socialist Venezuela
has been boosted by “conspiracy stories” claiming that the US
government is trying to get rid of him.
Ironically Venezuela remains one of the biggest oil exporters in
the whole world.
If “they” really want to get rid of him, I would expect many,
many stories (not necessarily true) to detail the corruption of
the Maduro administration. When I did an internet search with
“Nicolas Maduro corrupt” I did get a large amount of stories,
but none of these detail how Maduro and his cronies steal from
Venezuela’s population...
The story on Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA’s connections
to long-time Rothschild banker and Trump’s Secretary of Commerce
Wilbur Ross for some reason doesn’t get much media attention:

Almost 3 months before Geoffrey Berman was forced to step down
as U.S. attorney by Bill Barr:
HTML http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?547371-US-attorney-Berman-fired-after-investigating-Trump-cronies
On 26 March 2020, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New
York Geoffrey Berman, standing alongside Attorney General
William Barr, announced narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking
charges against the president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro:
[quote]Maduro and the other defendants expressly intended to
flood the United States with cocaine in order to undermine the
health and well-being of our nation. Maduro very deliberatively
used cocaine as a weapon.[/quote]
Prosecutors allege that Maduro and other Venezuelan officials,
including Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino and Chief Supreme
Court Justice Maikel Moreno, "[I]participated in a corrupt and
violent narco-terrorism conspiracy[/I]" as leaders of the
Venezuelan "Cartel of The Suns".
Bizarrely they now suddenly accuse Maduro and his top aides of
running a "narco-terrorism partnership with the FARC for the
past 20 years". They supposedly also worked with Colombia's
Revolutionary Armed Forces group, FARC, called “a terrorist
organization” by the U.S.
According to Bill Barr, FARC had "[I]obtained the support of the
Maduro regime, who is allowing them to use Venezuela as a safe
haven from which they can continue to conduct their cocaine
trafficking[/I]".
The US charged more than a dozen top Venezuelan officials.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the State
Department would offer cash rewards of $15 million for
information on Maduro, and up to $10 million for information on
of some of his allies: former military intelligence chief Hugo
Cavajal, retired general Cliver Alcala, former vice president
Tareck El Aissami and head of the Constituent Assembly Diosdado
Cabello.
Sitting leaders of “independent” states are legally immune from
prosecution under US law and international norms. But since in
January 2019 the US recognised the much ridiculed Juan Guaido as
the legitimate president of Venezuela (followed by another 60
countries), they can simply brush that aside.
Even if Maduro is found guilty I don’t expect a full-blown
invasion, like that of Panama in December 1989 and January 1990,
after CIA agent Manuel Noriega threatened to blow the whistle on
the dope dealing US president George Bush Sr.:
HTML https://abcnews.go.com/International/federal-prosecutors-announce-drug-charges-venezuelas-nicolas-maduro/story?id=69810913
Without “evidence”, and I’m afraid that I don’t see anything to
substantiate these allegations, this could make Maduro even more
popular in Venezuela (if he was really popular they wouldn’t
need to support him with this “adverse publicity”)...
Even the following story is overlooked by most of our wonderful
media, and if the opposition to Maduro was real, I would expect
that this would be made into another media hysteria...
The best story I found on the “corruption” of the Maduro
administration is that on 10 November 2015, 2 nephews of
Maduro's wife Cilia Flores, Efraín Antonio Campos Flores and
Francisco Flores de Freites, were arrested by the US Drug
Enforcement Administration in Port-au-Prince, Haiti after trying
to transport 800 kilograms of cocaine into the USA.
They had been flown to Port-au-Prince by 2 Venezuelan military
personnel and 2 presidential honour guards.
One informant claimed that the 2 nephews of Cilia Maduro would
often fly out of Terminal 4 of Simon Bolivar Airport, a terminal
reserved for President Maduro.
The profits were allegedly used to "help their family stay in
power".
On 18 November 2016, the Flores nephews were found guilty.
On 14 December 2017, they were sentenced to 18 years in prison:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcosobrinos_affair
The drug trafficking operation was probably much larger, but 2
informants that witnessed the drug trafficking nephews were
murdered shortly before and after the arrest.
According to drug “expert” Bruce Bagley: [quote]The nephews are
just the tip of the iceberg ... Corruption is rampant in power
circles in Venezuela. This case suggests a culture that drug
trafficking is routine and daily fare for someone with contacts
in the presidential palace. With their connections, they felt
they would skate through ... They made a mistake because when
the DEA heard their names they targeted them.[/quote]
Two weeks before the nephews were arrested in November 2015, the
Venezuelan "Hamudi", who introduced the nephews to “CW-1”, was
murdered by FARC suppliers.
Several weeks after they were arrested, “CW-1” was also killed:

I have seen and talked to many children of those families still
left in Venezuela. The stories from these students, families,
etc are horrendous and pretty well confirm the bits of
information we get from the media...Of course, the "Fake" media
(about 80% of news in this country) does not report any of this
type news simply to not give Trump a perceived win.
We don't know all the ins and outs and until the "Fake" media or
someone else deems themselves enlightened enough to give us the
complete skinny of events in the far away land; I am going to
trust this administration in its actions against their leader.

I’ve read a relatively short book in Dutch on the VOC, NHM and
the House of Orange as opium lords; Hans Derks – [I]Verslaafd
aan opium; De VOC en het Huis van Oranje als drugsdealers[/I]
(2015).
What it lacks in length it more than makes up in shock value! It
is really an excellent summary of a much longer book by Hans
Derks.
It describes both the start of mass drug trafficking with a
pioneering role the by the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde
Oostindische Compagnie, VOC) and the foundation of the Kimgdom
of the Netherlands.
Arab Muslims were the first to trade hallucinogenic products,
including opium, for medical purposes (including for
anesthesia).
The Portuguese that controlled Goa learned about opium from the
Arabs, but never made it into a mass products (the fools!) and
until the 16th-century opium was never a real problem.
The Dutch [B]Jan Huyghen van Linschoten[/B] (1563-1611), while
serving as the Protestant Archbishop in Goa, copied secret
Portuguese nautical maps that enabled the British East India
Company (EIC) and Dutch VOC to take over the Portuguese monopoly
on trade with the East Indies.
Van Linschoten, together with his friend Paludanus, published a
bestseller in 1598, also translated to English, that included
information on opium (called “amphioen” or “taryak” at that
time).
At first the Dutch continued to trade in opium, starting at the
latest [B]in 1620[/B], at the relatively small scale of the
Portuguese until 1660. It is estimated that between 1640 and
1652, Batavia received only some 250 kilogram of opium annually
from Surat.
In 1642, the VOC obtained a monopoly from the Sultan to import
opium, while the population of the Sultanate was obliged to
maintain a fixed number of pepper plants. Around this time VOC
officials had the great idea to trade opium for pepper - the
East India product with the highest priority until the
19th-century.
The VOC labelled their monopoly an “octroy”, which was defended
by military force. The VOC introduced a passport system and if
others were caught “smuggling” these goods (opium, spices, tin
and cloth), they were confiscated and the “smuggler” severely
punished.
[B]In 1663, the VOC started trafficking opium as a mass
product[/B] in the Malabar coastal region. VOC officials were
also involved in some private opium selling. In 1676 the VOC got
the exclusive opium import rights in Mataram, in 1678 in
Cheribon and a bit later in Bantam (before the British EIC).
In the second part of the 17th century (the “Gouden eeuw”), the
Dutch exported Bengal opium not only to the Malabar coast, but
also to Southeast Asia (Malacca, Manila, Arakan or the East
Indies archipelago), Ceylon, Maldive Islands, Gujarat (Surat,
Cambay) and the Persian Gulf/Red Sea (Bandar Abbas, Hormuz or
Jeddah). Bengal opium was the VOC’s second-largest profit-maker
after raw silk.
This led directly to war and from 1680 to 1740 the amount of
junkies coming to Batavia doubled from 10 to 20 per year.
According to official statistics, in 1667 the VOC exported only
1,173 kg; 1675 - 13,322 kg; 1691 - 43,500 kg; 1703 - 60,290 kg;
and by the year [B]1715 - 79,968 kg[/B].
The whole of the 17th-century export to the East Indies from
Bengal is estimated at 1.1 million kilograms; this rose to some
5.5 to 6.3 million kilograms in the 18th-century.
The new important man in the VOC opium game was [B]Jacob
Mossel[/B] (1704-1761). After he arrived in Batavia, the opium
profits suddenly trebled from 512,000 to 1,415,00 guilders.
After this succes, Mossel was chosen as the successor of
Governor-General Van Imhofff, and established the [B]Amphioen
Society[/B] (AS, amphioen was another name for opium) in 1745
that was active until 1794.
Mossel took 40 shares AS for himself. To have been able to buy
these shares, he must have “earned” an amazing 160,000 guilders
in only 2 years (since he arrived in Batavia) that could only
have come from opium. Jacob Cool (the “Court Jew of Van
Imhofff”) originally possessed 30 AS shares, but had to leave 10
to his “favorites”.
To exploit the opium to the utmost, the AS introduced a lease on
smoking prepared opium (madat) in districts outside Batavia at
the end of 1746. But the opium income actually decreased,
because corruption increased.
The AS became the “society” that made all the profits, while the
VOC did all the work. The VOC-colonial state remained
responsible for the import of opium and the military security in
the whole archipelago at the cost of the “taxpayer”. The AS
received the opium from the VOC for 1125 guilders per chest and
could sell it for 1375 guilders (a profit of more than 22%)...
Most of the wealthy AS shareholders lived in the Netherlands.
An important participant in the Amphioen Society was
“stadhouder” [B]Willem IV[/B], who had become a Knight of the
Garter in 1733 (and called himself Prince of Orange), who
acquired 30 shares AS in 1748. He was promised that by taking
this share, in 1755 he would already be 200,000 guilders richer,
when the octroy of the AS expired.
Every time the octroy was renewed, Willem IV and his
“stadhouder” successor, [B]Willem V[/B], would receive an
enormous amount of opium money, e.g. 1.2 million guilders in
1795. All shareholders together pocketed a total of about 13
million guilders; an amount comparable to a present value of
about a billion guilders. Willem V made a fortune through the
Amphioen Society.
See Willem V, who after being born in 1748, became a Knight of
the Garter in 1752.

Because of this remarkable construction, the VOC got weaker.
This was followed by the Dutch–English war in 1795, in which
Ceylon was lost and the Napoleonic wars in which the
Netheralands lost its independence. There was even a large opium
debt owed to the EIC and the British easily conquered Java and
took over the rest of the East Indian archipelago.
To avoid a transfer into British hands, the Dutch government
took over all the VOC shares (a nationalisation of the private
VOC) at the cost of the taxpayer.
Another interesting opium family are the Van Hogendorps. The
patriarch [B]Willem van Hogendorp[/B] (1735-1784) first lost his
fortune through investments in the EIC. He then went to the East
Indies with his own ship and made a substantial fortune by
“officially” smuggling opium. On his return trip to a retire in
Holland, he drowned near the Cape of Good Hope because he had
overloaded the ship with too much gold on board.
In 1802, Willem V made a deal with Napoleon after he escaped to
England.
During the French occupation, [B]Governor-General Daendels[/B]
(1808-1811) rationalised the distribution of opium and tried to
stimulate its consumption by establishing government opium dens.
The opium income of the state multiplied nearly 10 times in 1804
and more than doubled in less than 2 years (1809-1810).
Willem’s second son, [B]Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp[/B]
(1762-1834), became a lawyer and a real “hero” of the Dutch
monarchy. After the planned defeat of Napoleon, in 1813 Gijsbert
Karel and 2 associates staged a coup to establish the Dutch
kingdom with Willem VI crowned [B]King Willem I[/B], who had
become a Knight of the Garter in 1814, and Gijsbert Karel van
Hogendorp as his prime minister.
Often overlooked in this “heroic tale” is that Willem’s eldest
son, [B]Dirk van Hogendorp[/B], ultimately became a general in
Napoleon’s army. Dirk even appears in Napoleon’s testament!
In 1824, King Willem I founded the Koninklijke [B]Nederlandsche
Handel-Maatschappij[/B], NHM (Royal Dutch Trading Company) to
take over the looting role of the Amphioen Society. Willem I
explained about the NHM: [quote]… its aim is to integrate all
branches of industrious activities into one whole, of which the
NHM is the nucleus; the Chambers of Commerce, the factories and
the agricultural committees are the main branches of this whole
…[/quote]
.
The Dutch taxpayer had to guarantee a net profit to the NHM of
300,000 guilders annually. King Willem I bought 4 million
shares, but was the only one to take his money back quickly, and
doubled his investment within 13 years. He also took out 1.3
million too much from the NHM in 1830.
While the NHM initially made a profit of 37 million per year, in
a few years’ time only 24 million were left.
The Royal NHM was the state opium dealer for a lease of only 2.6
– 3 million guilders annually and 2/7th of the net profit. From
1847-1849 the total opium income of the Dutch colonial state was
6.7, 6.5 and 6 million guilders respectively. The NHM even
reached into China, the largest market for opium. By the 1850s,
the opium income constituted 16.8% of the revenue collected in
the Indies. Between 1860 and 1910 this level was more or less
maintained at an average of 15%.
The NHM under a lucrative contract could also buy other goods
(including meat, wheat and flour) and sell them for a profit of
16%.
Until 1921, the head of state King/Queen got a weekly report
from the President of the NHM. Later the NHM evolved into the
ABN Bank, now part of ABN Amro Bank that still has a warm
relationship with the Dutch Royal family.
In 1827, the Netherlands concluded a contract with the Chinese
captain Tan Hang Kwee to start tin mining on Billiton, starting
with 300 laborers. The Chinese miners were kept enslaved by
opium. The House of Orange not only made money from the tin but
also from the opium. The Chinese sub-farmer had to buy a fixed
quantity of opium every month for much higher than market
prices.
In 1852, [B]Prince Hendrik[/B] (1820-1879), brother of King
Willem III, wanted to invest in the tin mines on Biliton to
found the private [B]Billiton Mining Company (BM)[/B]. John
Loudon became Hendrik´s representative. The stupidity of the
greedy House of Orange is unbelievable since they already had
the highly rewarding 1827 contract from which at least a profit
of 100,000 guilders per year would be gained from the Chinese
labor.
Many Chinese miners died, in the months of February and March
1860 alone, some 700 Chinese miners died, mainly from beriberi
(caused by thiamine deficiency).
In 1884 the Dutch journal for the medical profession was very
positive about coc.aine with an estimated price of 9,000 Dutch
guilders per kilo. The Netherlands started [B]coca plantations
on Java[/B] around 1885.
A quick calculation shows that this leads to an annual turnover
of 1.53 billion Dutch guilders!
In 1898, the German [B]Bayer Pharmaceutical Products[/B] also
produced heroine.

Parallel to the Opium Factory, a Coc.aine Factory was
established. In 1900, in Amsterdam the [B]Nederlandsche Cocaïne
Fabriek (NCF)[/B] was founded by the Koloniale Bank in which the
Royal NHM owned a stake.
The NCF became the largest coc.aine factory in the world. It
even expanded to other products like codeine, benzedrine
(amphetamine), efedrine, and developed the fully synthetic
coc.aine, novocaine. From 1932 onwards, the NCF also processed
raw opium into morphine. Around that time several South American
countries became large producers of coca leaves.
During the Anglo-American-Dutch funded Nazi occupation in World
War II, the NCF received 165 tons of raw opium for free, and it
could charge its processing costs to the state. The NCF realised
fabulous profits on its morphine during the war. Soon after the
war AKZO Nobel bought the company for an undisclosed amount. How
much loot went to Queen Wilhelmina?
The performance of this coc.aine industry impressed Merck USA so
much that it started its own coca plantation on Java with great
success in the 1930s.
The American John Cushing, employed in his uncles’ James and
Thomas H. Perkins Company of Boston, acquired his wealth from
smuggling Turkish opium to Canton (1812). In 1830, the Perkins
Company merged with Russell and Co of the [B]grandfather of
President Franklin Roosevelt[/B] that was “the third-largest
opium dealer on the China coast”. In one of those strange
coincidences, the Van Rosenvelt family had first come to America
from the Netherlands between 1638 and 1649.
