WHY
THE HARVARD CORPORATION PROTECTS THE DRUG TRADE. Part
2
By LINDA MINOR © 2000
As we have already seen, certain
families from the area around Boston, whose wealth came primarily from trading
in slaves and in the drug opium in the 18th and 19th centuries, tried to hide
the taint of dirty money by donating huge sums of it to Harvard College,
resulting in their control of the board of trustees from the early 1800s.
The charter of the Harvard Corporation also gave these board members the
authority to choose successors to replace members of the board who died or
resigned, so that their long-practiced habit of laundering drug money through
the university system survives until the present day.
Interestingly, it was the same families who were involved in setting up an
endowment at Yale College. 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 amassed a great fortune from
trade and returned from India to England in 1699. Yale became known as quite a
philanthropist; upon receiving a request from the Collegiate School in
Connecticut, he sent a donation and a gift of books. After subsequent bequests,
Cotton Mather suggested the school be named Yale College, in 1718. [See Kris
Millegan's article, "The Order of Skull and Bones" at

]
In 1823, Samuel Russell established Russell & Company for the purpose of
acquiring opium in Turkey and smuggling it to China. 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.

There is a long list of names of the great American and European fortunes which
were built on the "China"(opium) trade:
*Augustine Heard (1785-1868): ship captain and pioneer U.S. opium
smuggler.
*John Cleve Green (1800-75): married to Sarah Griswold; gave a fortune in
opium profits to Princeton University, financing three Princeton buildings and
four professorships; trustee of the Princeton Theological Seminary for 25 years.
*Abiel Abbott Low (1811-93): his opium fortune financed the construction
of the Columbia University New York City campus; father of Columbia's president
Seth Low.
*John Murray Forbes (1813-98): his opium millions financed the career of
author Ralph Waldo Emerson, who married Forbes's daughter, and bankrolled the
establishment of the Bell Telephone Company, whose first president was Forbes'
son.
*Joseph Coolidge: his Augustine Heard agency got $10 million yearly as
surrogates for the Scottish dope-runners Jardine Matheson during the fighting in
China; his son organized the United Fruit Company; his grandson, Archibald Cary
Coolidge, was the founding executive officer of the Anglo-Americans' Council on
Foreign Relations.
*Warren Delano, Jr.: chief of Russell and Co. in Canton; grandfather of
U.S.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
*Russell Sturgis: his grandson by the same name was chairman of the
Baring Bank in England, financiers of the Far East opium trade.
A PLAN IS HATCHED IN 1832.
THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW WORLD ORDER?
It seems a plan was devised early in U.S. history to take control of our centers
of education in order to control how history was written. By setting up
endowments in the universities, they would be able to claim positions of
influence on the boards, which would then give them the power to control those
funds that they had donated and direct the investments thereof. At the
same time, they could control which historians were
appointed to the chairs they endowed and make sure their reputations were
free of the taint of the drug trade by which their fortunes were acquired.
William Huntington Russell studied in Germany from 1831-32, during a transition
period in Germany's educational structure. Germany was adopting the
philosophical ideas of Hegel who had built on the philosophy school of Immanuel
Kant. To Hegel, our world is a world of reason. The state is Absolute Reason and
the citizen can only become free by worship and obedience to the state. Both
fascism and communism have their philosophical roots in the Hegellian philosophy
in which William Russell was
indoctrinated during his time in Germany. This philosophy makes it
possible for those who use the Hegellian dialetical process to manipulate
society to be on both sides of any issue. According to Hegel, it is the
conflict of the ideas that brings about change. The result of the conflict
is to create a synthesis between the two extremes and leads closer to the final
outcome of control by the forces seeking the ultimate power.
More aptly stated: Thesis (create the crisis) Anti-thesis (Offer the Solution)
which is the basis of globalist elite manipulation paradigms. The synthesis
achieved becomes a symptomatic response instead of addressing the real cause
(Government). The World Order organizes and finances Jewish groups, anti-Jewish
groups, Communist groups, anti-Communist groups, and other "opposing"
social forces to create predetermined outcomes ensuring power maintenance.
See http://www.trufax.org/chrono/crb.htmlhttp://www.trufax.org/chrono/crb.html
When Russell returned to Yale in 1832, he formed a senior society with Alphonso
Taft (Yale '33). According to information acquired from a break-in to the
"tomb" (the Skull and Bones meeting hall) in 1876, "Bones is a
chapter of a corps in a German University.... General Russell, its founder, was
in Germany before his Senior Year and formed a warm friendship with a leading
member of a German society. He brought back with him to college, authority to
found a chapter here." So class valedictorian William H. Russell, along
with fourteen others, became the founding members of "The Order of Scull
and Bones," later changed to "The Order of Skull and Bones".

In 1832 many of these founders of the Yale society were still closely connected
in the opium business with their cousins at Harvard. Because of the
research done into George H.W. Bush's family background involving Yale and Skull
and Bones, and also because of the presidential candidacy of his Skull and Bones
member son, George W. Bush, much has been written in the last few years about
Yale's control by this secret society. But little research has been
published about the connection between the Yale crew and their counterparts in
the other Ivy League colleges.
FROM FORBES TO DELANO--THE LEFT WING OF
THE DIALECTICAL PROCESS
Part One of this series left off with Robert Bennet Forbes, a partner in the
firm of Russell and Company in 1840, the same year that a young man named Warren
Delano would become a partner in the same firm. The following is a brief
summary of the Delano family, the maternal parentage of President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt and is extracted from an excerpt of "Before The
Trumpet" by Geoffrey C. Ward, two chapters of which have been posted by
Kris Millegan. See them in full at:

The first American Delano was Philippe de la Noye, a Huguenot who arrived at
Plymouth Colony in 1621. He came out of love, not religious zeal, hoping to
marry Priscilla Mullens (the same Priscilla with whom Myles Standish and John
Alden were later smitten). His dramatic arrival on her doorstep did him no good.
She turned him down, and he did not marry for thirteen more years. When he did,
he chose another Englishwoman, Hester Dewsbury, with whom he had several
children. One of these, Jonathan Delano, married Mercy Warren, fought in King
Philip's War, and was rewarded for his service with an 800-acre tract of land at
New Bedford, Massachusetts, which then encompassed the coastal village of
Fairhaven.
There his sons and their sons prospered as mariners and whalers and
shipbuilders, and there Warren Delano II was born in 1809. His father, the first
Warren, had begun his career at sea at nineteen, ferrying cargoes of corn and
salt, bathwood and potatoes to New Orleans and Liverpool and the Canary Islands.
Later he purchased interests in a number of fine ships, came to own several
more, and was captured at sea and endured two grim weeks aboard a British prison
ship after the War of 1812 had officially ended. He returned to Fairhaven in
1815, alive but "sick enough," he said. After that he built himself a
great rambling house and settled into a lucrative if less
eventful life ashore as a whaling executive.
Young Warren was graduated from Fairhaven Academy at fifteen in 1824. Two years
later, his father had him apprenticed as a junior clerk to Hathaway and Company,
a Boston importer; later he worked for Goodhue and Company, one of the biggest
import firms in New York, gaining what one business associate later called
"a first rate mercantile education."
In 1833, he sailed for China at the age of twenty-four. At Canton he was offered
a junior partnership in the new firm of Russell, Sturgis and Company of Boston
and Manila. In 1840, at thirty-one, he would become a senior partner with
Russell and Company, by then the largest American firm in the China trade. The
object of every partner was to gain a "competence"-$100,000-before
returning home. Warren Delano would earn at
least two, one with each of the trading companies he served.
All dealing in China was done through one of thirteen Chinese traders, who were
held personally responsible for the actions of their foreign associates. This
was sometimes a touchy business. Sailors reeling back to their ships from an
evening in Hog Lane, the single narrow street of grog shops they were permitted
to visit on shore leave, occasionally got into trouble, requiring their Chinese
sponsors to pay stiff damages to the imperial viceroy. But it was worth the
inconvenience. Houqua, the agent who handled business for most American firms
(and has been said to have been the Chinese agent for the East India Company),
became probably the wealthiest merchant on earth, said to have compiled a
fortune of some $26 million by the year Warren Delano first came to know him.
The high points of the Canton social season for the Americans were the sumptuous
banquets held at the home of Houqua on the midriver island of Honam. Houqua wore
silk brocade robes and clattering ropes of jade and a silk cap with a bright
blue button that denoted his special status. The bohea tea grown on the slopes
of his family estate and shipped aboard American ships was said to be among the
finest in the world and he was generous toward those who had made him rich.
A portrait of Houqua always
hung in the Delano parlor at Algonac. According to the Delano Family Papers,
successive heads of the Wu family, who were important Chinese merchants in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, were called "Howqua" ("Houqua")
by the foreigners who did business with them. The first usage appears to have
arisen from a corruption of the given name of Wu Hao-kuan. See John King
Fairbank, Trade and Diplomacy on the China Coast: The Opening of the Treaty
Ports, 1842-1854 (2 vols., 1953).
http://www.nara.gov/publications/prologue/butowsrc.html
The idyll was abruptly interrupted in 1838. Opium was the cause. Traffic in the
drug was the dirty little secret of the China trade, almost universally
practiced, almost never discussed. And as an increasingly important Canton
trader, Warren Delano was deeply involved in it. The British controlled
the business; perhaps a third of their Chinese revenues came from the sale of
opium, though its importation had been expressly forbidden by the emperor since
1729. Massive bribery of local officials made it possible; the drug's
compactness and the almost insatiable demand for it among Chinese addicts made
it spectacularly lucrative.
The Americans did their best to keep up with the British, but never came close
to matching their earnings. Every American firm took part, with the lone
exception of D. W. C. Olyphant and Company. Robert Bennet Forbes, Warren's
friend and immediate predecessor as head of Russell and Company in Canton, had
offered his justification for taking part in the trade: the best seafaring
families of New England were involved in it, "those to whom I have always
been accustomed to look up as exponents of all that was honorable in trade-the
Perkins's, the Peabodys, the Russells and the Lows." There was a huge
profit to be made. Others were enriching themselves; Warren Delano and
his fellow traders saw no reason not to get their share. Under Robert Forbes's
energetic direction, Russell and Company became the third-most important single
firm in the opium trade, British or American. As Forbes's successor as head of
the company, Warren Delano improved upon his performance.
It was a matter of supply, not scruples then, that kept the Americans from doing
even better. The British owned their own poppy fields in India. Their American
competitors had to make do with opium bought in Turkey, or to sell the Indian
drug on consignment for British or Indian firms. The Manchus were powerless to
stop it, though they despaired over opium's impact on their subjects and worried
at the drain the trade made on precious specie. After two wars with the
British over whether opium could be sold to Chinese citizens, the Chinese were
thoroughly defeated and the ports were opened up to bring in the drug.
Warren Delano was in China during both wars.
FROM MONEY COMES PRESTIGE, AND FROM
PRESTIGE POWER
Opium helped make Warren a wealthy man. Neither he nor his descendants were
proud of that fact. He kept his business affairs to himself. Years later, one of
his sons remembered "how strictly he complied with the admonition not to
let his right hand know what his left hand was doing." In a family fond of
retelling and embellishing even the mildest sort of ancestral adventures, no
stories seem to have been handed down concerning Warren Delano's genuinely
adventurous career in the opium business.
In 1843 Warren Delano returned to Massachusetts and during a visit at the home
of his Canton friend John Murray Forbes at Northampton he met a Forbes cousin,
Judge Joseph Lyman, who invited the Delanos to his home that evening. The Lymans,
too, were members of a distinguished old Massachusetts family, and their
youngest daughter Catherine Robbins Lyman, would soon become the wife of Warren
Delano. On December 4, the newlyweds sailed for China aboard John Bennet
Forbes's sleek new Paul Jones. With them went Warren's younger sister Deborah,
who was called "Dora."
The Delanos stayed in China for three years. Warren continued to run Russell and
Company, increasing both its profits and his own with each successive season.
Toward the end of 1846 the Delanos returned to America to stay. Warren stayed
busy investing his new fortune in a host of likely ventures-New York waterfront
property, railroads, copper mines in Tennessee and Maryland, land and anthracite
coal in Pennsylvania, where a mining town was named Delano in his honor. He
never entirely abandoned the China trade, building and owning several clippers,
and when gold was discovered in California it provided him with a whole new
market for his cargoes. His ship, the Mint, built with Robert Forbes and the
Swedish engineer John Ericsson, was the first American paddle steamer on the
Sacramento River.
They first bought themselves a five-story Manhattan town house at 39 Lafayette
Square, and their neighbors included Washington Irving; John Jacob Astor, now
nearing eighty-four but still the wealthiest man in America; and Warren's
younger brother Franklin, who had married Mr. Astor's granddaughter Laura Astor
just two years earlier. He too had been in the shipping business but had
recently "retired" at thirty-one to live off his wife's immense trust
fund. While Warren had had to buy his house, Franklin's had been free, a token
of the old man's fondness for his grand- daughter. William Backhouse Astor,
Laura Delano's father, lived just across the
street.
The family-Warren, Catherine, and their three children-moved to Algonac in 1852.
With them came several servants and two unmarried relatives, Warren's sister
Sarah and his brother Ned, now home from China and without much initiative of
his own. Later that year, another boy was born and given the name, Warren III.
And there, two years later, on September 21, 1854, Sara Delano was born.
In the late summer of 1857, Algonac was nearly destroyed by an intrusion from
the outside world which even Warren Delano could not keep out. Panic hit Wall
Street, sparked by the abrupt failure of the giant Ohio Life Insurance and Trust
Company, but further fueled by the legacy of years of wild over-speculation in
railroads and real estate. Market prices were halved overnight; specie payment
was suspended for a time; thousands of businesses closed over the next three
years; hundreds of thousands of men were thrown out of work. One by one,
Warren Delano's investments soured.
THERE'S ALWAYS DOPE TO FALL BACK ON
In January 1860, Warren Delano was fifty and faced with bankruptcy after thirty
years in business. He resolved at last to return to China, to Hong Kong this
time, and re-enter the trade which had made him so rich so fast when he was
young-tea and opium.[7] By 1862, Warren Delano's fortunes had improved,
not enough to permit him to come home, but enough for him to arrange passage on
a clipper, the Surprise, and send for his family to join him at Hong Kong.
Algonac was leased to Warren's old Canton friend, Abbot Low. At the time
Warren left for China, Sara was pregnant with a ninth
child, and she would bear two more while in China. In 1864 the children
were returned to America. William Forbes, a junior partner with Russell
and company to whom Dora was now engaged, provided an escort.
By 1865 when the Civil War was over, Warren had restored his fortune but was
unable to reunite the family at Algonac, on which Abbott Low's lease still had
two years to run. Sara's sister Dora married Will Forbes, and the two of
them returned to China to continue the family's business. The rest of the
family went to Paris for a time, later to Dresden. Sara's brother, Warren,
was graduated from Harvard in 1874, hoping to travel west as a mining engineer.
His father had other plans for him, however, and he went to work instead as
superintendent of one of Warren Delano's enterprises, the
Union Mining Company, digging coal and shale from deposits near Mount Savage,
Maryland, and making firebrick from the local clay. While still at Harvard he
had met and fallen in love with Miss Jennie Walters of Baltimore, the sister of
one of Warren's classmates. Her father had organized the Atlantic
Coast Railroad Line, made himself many times a millionaire, but would not agree
to the marriage until 1875.
Sara was to remain single until the age of 26, when she became the second wife
of James Roosevelt, who was many years her senior. After the wedding, the couple
went to Europe, where Will and Dora Forbes, still taking care of the family's
business in China, met them for three weeks in Rome. Sara's uncle Franklin
Delano, for whom her son would be named, met them in Geneva with his wife.
(Will and Dora Forbes would remain married until his death in 1896, when she
married his brother Paul Forbes. Although James had other children by his
first wife, he and Sara were to give birth to only one child, Franklin.
James Roosevelt died in 1900, and it was largely due to
his mother's family contacts and fortune that he was able to finance his run for
president a few years later.
While he was a student at Harvard, the president emeritus of the college was
Abbott Lawrence Lowell. At the age of 35 Franklin was elected to Harvard's
Board of Overseers. He returned for his twenty-fifth reunion in June 1929.
His classmates had elected him chief marshal of Commencement. Harvard's Phi Beta
Kappa chapter, to which Theodore Roosevelt had belonged, chose him as orator at
the annual Literary Exercises, and made him an honorary member (along with his
uncle Frederick Delano, A.B. 1885, twice an Overseer and later president of the
Harvard Alumni Association). Among FDR's backers was Joseph P.
Kennedy (Harvard 1912), whose son, John Fitzgerald, would follow his
father to Harvard and later become the nation's thirty-fifth
president. http://www.harvard-magazine.com/issues/nd96/frank3.html
Two days after Franklin Roosevelt's death in office on April 12, 1945, mourners
jammed the Harvard Memorial Church for a service led by Willard Sperry, dean of
the Divinity School. "We have lost one of our own members," said
Sperry. "It would be presumptuous to say that elsewhere there is no sorrow
like our sorrow. But our sorrow is touched with a humble and proper pride that
this society was one of the shaping forces which fitted him for his duty and his
destiny.
I wonder what the dean meant by that? Did he mean that the
Harvard Corporation supports those of its sons whose ill-gotten gains have been
washed through its institution and that Harvard expects nothing in return except
protection, power and prestige? Surely he didn't mean that.

Note: re Harvard Charter: http://www.robinsonresearch.com/EDUCATION/US/Harvard.htm
On June 6, 1650, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts approved Harvard
President Henry Dunster's charter of incorporation. The Charter of 1650
established the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a seven-member board
that is the oldest corporation in the Western Hemisphere. It became a chartered
university in 1780 and fully autonomous in 1865. Through the years Harvard has
acquired a reputation for being one of the finest institutions of higher
learning in the world. Among many notable alumni are the religious leaders
Increase Mather and Cotton Mather; the
philosopher and psychologist William James; and men of letters such as Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, James Russel Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Sr., Robert Frost, and T.S. Eliot. More U.S. presidents have attended Harvard
than any other college: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. A sixth, Rutherford B. Hayes, was a
graduate of Harvard Law School, which also counts the jurists Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Jr., and Felix Frankfurter among its alumni.
ROOSEVELTS AT HARVARD: A FAMILY MATTER
http://www.harvard-magazine.com/issues/nd96/frank.family.html
James Roosevelt, Franklin's father, received his ll.b. from Harvard Law School
in 1851. Theodore Roosevelt enrolled in the College in 1877, FDR in 1900.
Thereafter, Roosevelts came to Harvard in droves. In 1936, the tercentennial
year, when FDR ran for a second term, nine Roosevelts were registered in the
College, including three sets of brothers. FDR's Harvard progeny included
three of his four sons-James '30, Franklin Jr. '37, and John '38-as well as four
grandsons and a great-grandson. Eleanor Roosevelt's brother Hall '13 and his two
sons also went to Harvard. Several of FDR's Delano uncles and cousins, including
his uncle Fred-class of 1885, twice an Overseer, and president of the Alumni
Association in 1932-33-were Harvard men. Theodore Roosevelt, of the Oyster Bay
branch, sent all four of his sons: Theodore '09, Kermit '12, Archibald '17, and
Quentin '19. His daughters Alice and Ethel made it a clean sweep by marrying
Harvard men (Senator Nicholas Longworth, A.B. 1891, and Dr. Richard Derby '03,
who followed FDR on the Board of Overseers). Six of TR's grandsons, seven
great-grandchildren, and a half dozen great-great-grandchildren have gone to
Harvard. Most of the 17 other Roosevelts on the alumni rolls were or are
descendants
of TR's four uncles, and thus belong to the Oyster Bay branch. TR's sister
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson had two Harvard sons and a Harvard grandson (the late
columnist Joseph Alsop '32).
