Al Qaedas Proxy War on America

A "proxy war" is one where someone else is (knowingly or
unknowingly) doing the fighting and dying for you. Our decade
long "proxy war" against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan is an
example. We do have a little problem today in that the Afghanis
we armed, funded, and trained in the 1980s are now fighting
against us in Afghanistan and in Iraq. However, we have a much
bigger problem:
Al Qaeda and Heroin
As of February 2001, under Mullah Omar and the Taliban, opium
was eliminated from Afghanistan. His enforcement methods left
much to be desired by the ACLU. The mullah's enforcers would
just about launch an RPG up your bottom if they saw poppies in
your fields.
Today, the opium crop in Afghanistan is larger than ever before
in the country's entire history (Thousands of "coalition troops"
not withstanding). In fact, the crop has hit an ever larger
historic record size each year we have been in Afghanistan. The
opium is converted into heroin, it is sold, and the money is
then used to fund their projects.
The Mexican drug cartels control not just the smuggling of drugs
but most of Mexico's illegal immigration into the USA (and vast
portions of the Mexican government including much of Mexico's
Regular Army). The Mexican drug cartels have no interest
whatsoever in letting Al Qaeda send bands of wild eyed
terrorists across our southern border and us, anymore then they
do closing our southern border to their drug smuggling business.
What the cartels do want to do is keep their links to Muslim
drug lords and to illegal alien smuggling rings a secret. They
are not trying to keep it a secret from the US government or the
CIA or the DEA. Our government and its agencies know all about
it. The cartels want to keep it secret only from the public.
That may seem odd but it is the way it works. The "ground zero"
for media investigations of these terror networks is Mexico. The
simplest way to discourage reporters in Mexico from reporting is
to kill them.

Today, more reporters are killed in Mexico than anyplace else on
earth except Iraq. Mexican news media have even been hosed-down
with machine guns. The cartels have made it clear they will
silence any inquisitive U.S. media. The US media now stays north
of the border. Confirmation comes from the Voice of America -
broadcasting to foreign lands - and the U.S. Ambassador to
Mexico himself.
As a footnote, the British flooded China with opium as a Weapon
of Mass Destruction -- the British Opium Wars -- in the 1840s
and then again in the 1850s. A third party -- Russia -- then
"seized the moment," took advantage of China's drug sodden
situation, and stole 400,000 square miles of China without
firing a shot. That is how Russia spread all the way to
Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean. If you think China has
forgotten, don't.
Nearly all of the methamphetamine flooding America is made in
Mexico by the drug cartels, and the raw materials are shipped in
from Communist China.
Thousands of Chinese are involved in this drug business. This
example is special in that Mr. Ye Gon has admitted the
involvement in his methamphetamine enterprise of people at the
highest levels of the Mexican government.
Al Qaeda has found that they do not have to do much of anything
to kill Americans, except fund the drug cartels with more than a
billion dollars in heroin a year.
A billion dollars may seem an impossible number but it is small
change in Mexico's drug profits. Mr. Ye Gon (above) was found to
have over $207 million in U.S. currency stashed just in one
closet in his house in Mexico. When he was arrested, he was
living in Maryland not five miles from the U.S. Capitol
building.
Muslim heroin is not the weapon - it is the funding source. The
yearly opium crop in Afghanistan is worth over three billion
dollars. (See Opium PDF Research Document below). Not all of
that cash goes to the drug cartels, but a billion of it
certainly does.

At first, al Qaeda tried to convince the drug cartels to allow
them to poison the cocaine being sent to America. The drug
cartels thought this was a really bad idea (because then much of
their market and trafficking infrastructure -- which took them
years to cultivate -- would be quite dead).
Al Qaeda and the cartels realized that instead, increasing the
flow of drugs across the border would be a better idea because
then there would be more addicts who were a drain on society and
the ancillary crime associated with drug trafficking would help
bankrupt our cities.
The best weapon for this new venture is methamphetamine.
Marijuana is one of Mexico's largest revenue generators, but its
effect on American society is tactical, not strategic.
1. Methamphetamine is a strategic weapon.
2. Illegal aliens are a strategic weapon.
A tactical weapon is one that offers an immediate result and
where the effect is usually quite localized. A strategic weapon
is one that destroys an enemy's economy, or cities, or
infrastructure, and even its government and does not have to
offer immediate results.
Al Qaeda: A History Lesson Well Learned
Emperor of China Declares War on Drugs
Lin Tse-hs, the governor of the Chinese province of Hu-Huang,
was an accomplished administrator and bureaucrat who wrote
stylized Confucian poetry in his spare time.
During his long career, 53-year-old Lin had acquired a
reputation as a man who could be counted on to do the right
thing in a difficult situation.
His high degree of morality and integrity had earned him the
nickname Lin the Clear Sky, and his opinions were highly
regarded at the court of Chinese Emperor Tao-kuang.
In October 1838, Lin Tse-hs was summoned to the Imperial Palace
in Peking, where the Emperor personally assigned him to stamp
out opium addiction in China.
File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
Lin accepted the assignment, knowing that it represented one of
the most difficult problems faced by the Chinese empire. The
sale of opium had been made illegal in China in 1800, but the
black-market narcotics trade flourished in defiance of the law,
and there were an estimated two million Chinese opium addicts.
Addiction was especially common around the port city of Canton,
where foreign merchants smuggled large quantities of the
narcotic drug into China.
Commissioner Lin launched his anti-drug campaign in Canton,
where he set up headquarters and took command of the local naval
forces. On March 10, 1839, Lin proclaimed that the opium trade
would no longer be tolerated in Canton, and he began arresting
known opium dealers in the local schools and naval barracks.
Those found guilty of purchasing, possessing or selling opium
were sentenced to public execution by strangulation. Let no one
think, Lin proclaimed, that this is only a temporary effort on
behalf of the Emperor. We will persist until the job is
finished.
Lin consulted with local physicians and established a treatment
center near Canton. He encouraged opium addicts to enroll there
under amnestyto shed their habit. To combat the popular belief
that opium addiction was an impossible habit to break, Lin
frequently told the story of a man he had met who had been an
addict for thirty years, smoking an ounce of opium a day, but
who managed to give it up. Soon, Lin claimed, his cheeks began
to fill out and the strength came back into his limbs.
Lins next move was to crack down on foreign smugglers of opium.
He knew that very little opium was grown in China. Most opium
was grown in British India, where the drug was a legal
commodity. If Lin could stop foreign merchants from smuggling
opium into his country, then Chinas addiction problem would be
solved.
Lin knew that the opium was brought to China in large British
clipper ships, which also carried legal trade items. The cargo
masters of these ships sold their opium to clandestine Chinese
buyers at Lintin Island in Canton Bay. After the foreign
merchants unloaded their contraband cargo, they proceeded
peacefully up the Pearl River to Canton, where they held permits
to buy tea and silk, and to sell a variety of legal trade goods.

File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
To the foreign clipper ships anchored at Canton, Commissioner
Lin sent messages demanding that they turn over all of the opium
they had aboard, as well as any supplies of the drug that might
be stored at Lintin Island. He also commanded them to sign
guarantees promising never to bring opium to China again, on
pain of trial and execution if found guilty.
The foreign traders were given three days to comply with
Commissioner Lins demands, but they seemed to take the
situation very lightly and made no move to turn over any opium.
Lin guessed that the foreigners were counting on corrupt Chinese
officials to protect them. Many Cantonese officials, including
the viceroy and high ranking naval commanders, were secretly
accepting bribes, called squeeze money from the western
merchants; some were even using Imperial navy vessels to move
the contraband drug ashore.
On the morning of March 25, 1839, Commissioner Lin gave the
opium smugglers a demonstration of the the seriousness of his
intent. He ordered the suspension of all trade with the western
merchants, who lived together in a small neighborhood of
waterfront homes, offices, and trading docks in Canton.
Lins troops surrounded the foreign neighborhood, building
barricades across the streets to prevent Chinese people from
visiting the docks. Three rows of armed Chinese patrol ships
lined up in the river opposite the trading houses. The foreign
community was informed that it was being held in detention until
the opium trade was suppressed.
Lins action was protested by the ranking British naval officer
in the Chinese port, Captain Charles Elliot. The merchants,
Elliot asserted, had the full support of the British government,
and were not bound to obey the laws of China.
Commissioner Lin laid down the terms under which the foreign
merchants could regain their freedom and their right to trade in
Canton. First, they must turn over all of the opium concealed
aboard their ships, then they must sign a binding pledge not to
bring any more opium to China in the future. Until these
requirements were met, the foreigners would not be permitted to
purchase any tea, rice, or silk for export.


File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
On March 27, the merchants agreed to surrender their opium to
Commisioner Lin. When Lin informed Emperor Tao-kuang of his
success, he was rewarded with an exquisitely prepared dinner of
roebuck venison, a message signifying Promotion Assured, and a
hand painted silk scroll from the Emperor bearing the characters
Good Luck, Long Life.
During the next two months, over two and a half million pounds
of processed opium were delivered under tight security from the
merchant ships to the Chinese mainland.
Commissioner Lin was faced with the problem of disposing of the
enormous stockpile of opium which he had confiscated. After
consulting with Cantonese engineers and chemists, Lin had three
large trenches dug along the seacoast. Each trench measured
seventy five wide by one hundred fifty feet long, was seven feet
deep, and was lined with flagstones and rough-hewn timbers. The
three trenches were surrounded by a tall bamboo fence.
On the first day of June, 1839, Commissioner Lin composed a
ritual address to the Spirit of the South China Sea. He advised
the spirit that he should shortly be dissolving opium and
draining it off to the great ocean, and suggested that all sea
creatures should retreat to deeper water to avoid being
contaminated, until the opium was completely run off.
On June 3, the destruction of the foreign opium began. The
trenches were filled with water, and the first chests of opium
were broken open and thrown in to soak. Next, large quantities
of salt and lime were dumped into the mixture. The ensuing
chemical reaction heated and liquefied the opium, releasing
clouds of nauseating gas. A team of five hundred closely guarded
laborers with shovels and hoes stirred the slowly decomposing
material and ran it off into a stream that led to the sea. The
first worker who was caught trying to steal some opium was
immediately beheaded as a warning to the rest.
For the next two weeks, Commissioner Lin supervised the
methodical destruction of the opium, or foreign mud, from a
pavilion set up near the trenches. When he advised the Emperor
that the work was finished, Lin received the warm reply, This
is something that is greatly delightful to the hearts of
mankind.

File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
Despite his success, Commissioner Lin could see that the British
merchants were not yet willing to abide by the laws of China.
Trying to escape from Lins authority, some merchants had moved
away from Canton and sailed down the Canton estuary to the
Portuguese-controlled port of Macao, where it seemed they were
intending to resume smuggling opium. Other British ships
anchored near the sparsely inhabited island of Hong Kong, at the
mouth of the estuary.
On July 12, a Chinese villager was killed by a rampaging gang of
drunken British seamen who had come ashore at Kowloon, a
mainland village near Hong Kong. Lin demanded that the men
responsible for the murder be turned over to him for punishment.
Captain Elliot responded that the seamen could only be tried
under British jurisdiction.
Captain Elliot then tried the sailors himself, with results that
were not satisfactory to Commissioner Lin. One seaman was
acquitted of a murder charge for lack of evidence, and five
others were found guilty of participation in a general riot.
When Lin again demanded that the guilty men be delivered to
Canton for justice, Elliot sent word that the men would all be
appropriately punished when they returned to England.
To force Elliot to submit to his demands, Lin ordered that
delivery of all rice, tea, meat and fresh vegetables to the
anchored ships at Macao to be intercepted and cut off.
Freshwater springs that were known to be used by the British at
various points along the coast were poisoned. Large banners were
posted to warn Chinese villagers not to drink from the streams.
Lin then pressured the Portuguese authorities at Macao to evict
the British from their harbor, under penalty of severe trade
restrictions. These drastic measures forced all of the British
ships to retreat from Macao to Hong Kong by the middle of
August.
On August 31, Commissioner Lin learned that the merchant ships
anchored off Hong Kong had been joined by a twenty-eight gun
British frigate. Although this news was not good, Lin, who had
the use of a fleet of Chinese war junks at his disposal, was not
frightened by the arrival of a single British warship.


File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
Lin assumed that his Chinese warships were superior to the ships
of the British navy. He thought that Europeans were primitive
barbarians. British fabrics were inferior to Chinese silk,
British earthenware was inferior to Chinese ceramics, and the
general behavior of British seamen seemed uncivilized, so Lin
assumed that the British navy must be inferior to the Chinese
navy. Lin did not know that even British civilian merchant ships
were armed with cannon that were far deadlier and more accurate
than any of the guns of the Chinese fleet.
On September 4, two British merchant ships and a launch from the
newly arrived warship attacked three Chinese junks that tried to
prevent them from landing at Kowloon to obtain water and
supplies. Although the Chinese warships returned the British
fire, they did no damage to the British ships, and were forced
to retreat after being badly shot up by cannonballs.
The captains of the defeated Chinese junks feared that their
failure would be viewed by higher authorities as a disgraceful
act of cowardice. The captains therefore reported to
Commissioner Lin that they had won a victory and had sunk a
British ship. Commissioner Lin forwarded this version of the
encounter to the Emperor and composed an angry proclamation the
British, warning them that because you have presumptuously
fired upon and attacked our naval cruisers, our army and navy
will now be required to launch a devastating attack upon you,
and you will suffer just punishment at our hands.
Lin informed the Emperor that he was preparing to permanently
drive the merchants away from Hong Kong. By September 22, Lin
had assembled a fleet of eighty junks and fireships at the mouth
of the Pearl River.
Confident that the British were alarmed by his preparations for
naval warfare, Lin wrote a poem noting that a vast display of
Imperial might has shaken all the foreign tribes, and, if they
now confess their guilt, we will not be too hard on them.
Lin ignored messages from Captain Elliot, who impudently
demanded that British merchants be allowed to buy the last crop
of Chinese tea that had been harvested that year.
Commissioner Lin insisted that the British could not enjoy any
of the benefits of legal trade unless they agreed to obey
Chinese laws and stopped importing opium. If the British could
not honor these terms, they were ordered to leave Chinese waters
and never return.
File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
Captain Elliot Refused to Concede
In early November, Lin learned that a second British warship, an
eighteen-gun frigate, had joined the British merchant fleet at
Hong Kong. On November 3, the two British warships approached
the Chinese fleet with a sealed letter, demanding supplies and
the immediate resumption of trade.
The admiral of the Chinese fleet returned the merchants letter
unopened, at which point the frigates attacked the anchored
Chinese fleet. The British immediately sank five of the largest
Chinese war junks and severely damaged many others in an attack
that lasted just under 45 minutes.
Commissioner Lin now faced serious difficulties. If he
truthfully reported his defeat to the Emperor, he was likely to
be disgraced and punished. He therefore kept his report of the
battle brief and vague, describing six imaginary smashing
blows that had been inflicted on the impetuous British
barbarians.
Pleased with Lins report, Emperor Tao-kuang gave his thanks.
The Emperor also inquired whether Commissioner Lin had, in fact,
completely stopped the smuggling of opium. Independent reports
had arrived in Peking, claiming that small British boats were
delivering chests of opium to remote villages along the seacoast
north of Canton. The Emperor reminded Lin that his job was to
clear away the opium-evil throughout all of China, not just in
Canton.
Lin assured the Emperor that the despicable foreign drug trade
was rapidly drawing to a close. He spent the next several months
fortifying Canton harbor by sinking barges loaded with stones at
its entrances. He also purchased an American sailing ship and
outfitted it with cannon supplied by some enterprising
Portuguese merchants.
In the beginning of June 1840, Lin suddenly found himself
confronting a large British expeditionary force that had come
from Singapore, which included steam-powered gunboats and
thousands of British marines.


File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
In a report to the Emperor, Lin wrote, English warships are now
arriving at Canton. Although it is certain that they will not
venture to create a disturbance here, I am certain that they
will, like great rats, attempt to shelter the vile sellers of
opium. Still confident that the Chinese coast-guard could
prevail in the event of trouble, Lin concluded People say that
our junks and guns are no match for the British.... But they do
not know!
Commissioner Lins forces, however, proved to be no match for
the invaders, who immediately imposed a blockade on the Canton
estuary, then attacked and took control of strategically
important sites along the China coast.
The British commander sent a sobering message to Emperor Tao-
kuang in Peking, demanding satisfaction and redress for
Commissioner Lins actions at Canton.
On August 21, 1840, the Emperor dismissed Lin Tse-hs from his
post as Imperial Commissioner.
You have caused this war by your excessive zeal. the Emperor
wrote.
You have lied to us, disguising in your dispatches the true
color of affairs. Instead of helping us, you have only caused
confusion to arise. Now, one thousand unending problems are
sprouting. You have behaved as if your arms are tied. You are no
better than a wooden dummy. As we think about your grievous
failings, we become furious, and then melancholy.
Stripped of his title, Lin Tse-hs was exiled to the isolated
northern frontier province of Ili, where he was given the task
of supervising large scale irrigation and flood control
projects.
Lin Tse-hs gradually recovered from the disgrace of his failure
to put an end to the opium trade. Ten years after his dismissal,
the Emperor again summoned him into service. Lin was reinstated
as Imperial Commissioner, and assigned to travel to the
rebellious province of Kwangsi to negotiate with rebel factions.
Lin Tse-hs collapsed and died while en route to Kwangsi on
November 22, 1850, at the age of 67.

File: FYEO-AQPWUS-015
The successive Imperial Commissioners who replaced Lin Tse-hs
in Canton were unable to stop the opium traffic. In conflicts
known as the First and Second Opium Wars, British naval and
marine forces seized control of Hong Kong, ravaged the Chinese
coastline and briefly occupied the capital city of Peking.
In 1858 the Chinese government, bowing to British demands,
reluctantly legalized the importation of opium.
================================================================
In light of recent revelations regarding Malik Obama President
Barack Obamas half-brother and his dealings and associations
with Muslim Brotherhood operatives, further investigation into
any possible connections between him (BHO) and his brother, is a
matter of national security.
President Barack Obamas refusal to stop the invasion of illegal
aliens, and therefore drugs, along the United States border with
Mexico is also cause for suspicion. The fact that US authorities
estimate that 60,000 to 80,000 undocumented children will cross
the border without their parents this year, a move by South
American parents to save their children from muslim terrorists
and drugs, only leads credence to the Al Qaeda/Mexican drug
cartel connection.
The legalization of Marijuana in US States, such as Colorado and
Washington, only reiterate the importance of learning from
history, then taking action upon it. President Obamas attorney
General, Eric Cantor, refusal to step in and stop the sale of an
illegal drug (Marijuana) over the counter only heightens the
suspicions of the Obama/Muslim Connection.
Meanwhile, the war on America continues...
