“… In 1856, the Second Opium War began and ended, with the Chinese being defeated once more. As a result, they were forced to sign the Treaty of Tientsin, and the sale of opium was legalized. The British claimed that the Chinese people had a “right” to this “harmless luxury”, without regard to its own government. Opium imports increased to unprecedented levels. By the end of the nineteenth century, an estimated quarter of the male population of China was addicted to the enhanced opium”

The History of Opium & How the Pharmaceutical Industry Intentionally Created Drug Addictions

Opium has been used medicinally and recreationally for centuries.  Fifteenth century China doctors used opium for medicine, with some using it recreationally.  It was the first effective antidepressant, sedative, and pain reliever.  However, opium addictions only began in the eighteenth century, when the British began to monopolize the sale…

  1. I have a problem with this website: Reading Bible passages after a technical description of nano-particles in the atmosphere (chem-trails) is not something that appeals to me personally. The fundamental Christians of this world love this stuff as it is a sign of their coming apocalypse. The rest of us are going to hell. Governments are well aware of this fact and they use it for their own ends. My own well researched opinion is that religion and science are two sides of the same coin; both are methods of population control. The idea being that we choose science or religion. I don’t choose either.

    1. Sometimes it is because that site is literally Christian so they reserve the right of course to do so. So when you cite their info then what comes with it of course comes their world view or way of presenting stuff. Depends who the audience is… like some of those their audience is predominantly Christian so they get the point from that perspective. I find this a lot… especially when you’re just reposting/blogging someone else’s info. I would like to post more of my own stuff but it’s the time to write it. I tend to just see it like eating fish. Digest what I agree with & spit out the bones. Or don’t go there. I generally don’t push my own spiritual beliefs in my articles unless somebody asks. Guess we are all different aren’t we. Particularly, we are all on our own journeys with different life experiences that shape our views. Thanks for your feedback cadxx

  2. I know there’s been a delay of a week before answering – I’ve had some kind of a bug passed on by my sister-in-law. She’s generous like that. Anyway, I also have nothing against Christians in fact it was a Christian book that helped start my foray into scientific anomalies. I used to read everything in those days. The kind I’m complaining about are the heavy judgmental types. I got one not long ago who boasts of having written five books or whatever. He came as a package with half a dozen other sites. He got quite angry when I told him his post was a sermon fit only for fundamentalist zombies. He kept on digging at me for a couple of weeks after that and then disappeared.
    Now I have a new one (David Hine above in “conversations”) but he seems to be harmless. I’m plagued by the buggers.

      1. Hi Pam I can’t remember the title and the author had a strange name – I think the surname ended something like xxxmorap” or some such. More like an anagram than a name. I do remember C.S. Lewis though, I read all of his stuff. My real teacher was the master, Charles Hoy Fort and next is Immanuel Velikovsky. It’s all good fun.
        “The difficulty is to me a fatal one; and the fact that when you put it to many scientists, far from having an answer, they seem not even to understand what the difficulty is, assures me that I have not found a mare’s nest but detected a radical disease in their whole mode of thought from the very beginning. The man who has once understood the situation is compelled henceforth to regard the scientific cosmology as being, in principle, a myth; though no doubt a great many true particulars have been worked into it.” CS Lewis.
