Key Notes
Jiang argues that Trump sees the American deep state as his main enemy and believes Caribbean disruption of drug, trafficking, and weapons routes could weaken the CIA's financial base before he moves against it directly.
He argues there is a strong correlation between transnational capital and secret societies because hidden cross-border profit networks need secrecy, trust, and coordination to run activities such as drug trafficking, arms sales, and human trafficking.
Jiang argues that the financial infrastructure built through Britain's opium trade with China did not disappear after 1949 but shifted into other markets, and he says one could legitimately argue that the global drug trade is still controlled and financed by the City of London.
Jiang argues that the financial infrastructure created by the opium wars now underpins the entire global drug trade, including fentanyl.
