The East India Company

是的，美国就是这样玩你的。因为什么？美国占有主动权，而且美国说的各种方式，你中共没有办法验证错和正确，或者是什么是不是下套，你只能跟随。这就是美国现在非常高级的一招。而且你可以看到，美国居然可以让这个什么，啊，普通媒体来宣布美国的军事的部署和这种方式，这个东西是很厉害的。CNN报道了，全世界都知道了，全世界都知道了，可能全世界的眼光都在那里，对吧。川普，大家这里面，这里面还有一个东西，这里面说一句话，收到川普命令。但是问题是，我们告诉你九十六个小时，但是大家这上面有没有说川普给美军基地的命令是直接发、公开发还是秘密发，你就不知道了。那么这就会造成一个问题，可能川普今天晚上已经秘密给美军基地发布了命令，但是外界不知道。那么从今天算到四天以后，美国可能在这个时间里面突然进入什么军事行动，但是你外界不知道。所以说你所准备的这些时间又出现了一个更大的变量。 你在知道和刺探的川普的命令的可靠的时间点，你也是模糊的。那么这个时候就很尴尬了，就是我们说过，你这个进入到一个战备时期，你是要确定美国要发动进攻，现在只说是美军接到川普命令，可能突然有一天一个媒体，一个内部人士说川普刚刚发布了什么命令，你是不是美国跟，这个美国发布命令，伊朗跟中共一定当真，迅速进入到准备，可能两到三天以后啊，人家跳出来，啊，川普给的命令是什么？让美军做其他，其他事情，不是攻击伊朗。你是不是这几天就白预备了，但是你又不敢不相信。这是非常有意思的。这是在博弈和军事备战中一个非常高明的打法，就是什么，打和不打，怎么打，被别人控制的时候，你的军事调动和应对其实就已经失去了主动权，完全是被动地接受。中共现在就是这样，对吧？就像我们说搞不好过两天大家知道中共经常玩的什么东西？习下李上，对吧？美国要开始对中共习下手了，立马跳出来，啊，不用下手。习现在在党内岌岌可危，来混淆视听，对吧？来带节奏，让美国失去判断。美国现在也玩一招，但美国玩得比你更加高明和更加光明正大。我就让媒体直接说川普是这样说的，但是里面暗，暗埋了很多坑。可能过两天一个自媒体突然出来，或者一个美国政府的一个账号和 Twitter、X 账号说，啊，川普疑似发布有一个特殊的军事命令下放到了美军基地，中共和伊朗就瞬间恐慌了。可能川普下这个命令，啊，明天我们这个圣诞节免费发火鸡，这也是命令，对吧？但是中共和伊朗一定进入到什么战备恐慌，这个就是玩的心理战。所以说从现在开始，我相信美军不管什么动作，都会把伊朗跟中共引入到一个战略恐慌和战略紧张期，任何风吹草动他们都会随风而动。但这对美国来说并不是坏事，美国可以通过这种施压和松弛来刺探和什么消耗中共和伊朗的措施，甚至为未来的布局赢得更大的优势。好的，路德。

所以你看啊，这里面这些你要知道，这个说白了就是，就是到这个深圳这个三方会谈啊，已经确定了。普京已经说啊，正在准备，是吧？啊，表面上说是，川，川普已经说了，就是无核，无核，就这么简单。啊，就谈这个。乌克兰，啊，中共都没资格上座。啊，乌克兰的事情最多要欧洲参与，是吧？普京呢，啊，就是糊弄呗，是吧？说白了，啊，如果普京不糊弄，那图们江就会让中共把，呃，口子打开，让它设个港口。习在2024年，前面几次，2022年都在这谈，啊，都跟普京谈这个图们江的事，啊。但是俄罗斯死活不同意啊，说白了，几十年，啊，啊，从苏联时期，是吧，苏联时期就开始。东北啊，这，但图们江绝对不给中共留个口子。这，这，我跟你说，这都是基本信号，你知道吧？这就是啊，啊，这就是你看整个东北，那为啥从北朝鲜一直连着，就是包围之势，就是，就战场这是极其不利，这叫突出部，突出部，明白不？就整个东北就是一个大的突出部。如果从满洲里横插过来，是吧，基本上三天搞定，就可以直接把这个东北，啊，这个切割了，你没有任何后勤了，就是你中共在什么沈阳北部战区，什么，一点后勤都没了，明白不？这是基本逻辑，是极其不利的一个这样的，啊，一个地图。就中共还傻乎乎，是吧？明白不？你看这，就中共还傻乎乎在这里以为-- 这把这地图打开给大家看。就中国的这个地图的本身就已经是极其，啊，你看，直接，你看，就不要说了吧，就直接蒙古，呃，如果，呃，蒙古加入的，直接从蒙古这边，我操，一切割，那不就是一个突出部吗？是不是？就是一个突出部。啊，如果说，啊，再往前，就满洲里这块直接加入，对，往这一切割，那不是分分钟啊。啊，就很多种切割方案，因为这是在战场极其不利的，我刚才，极其不利的。因为很窄，这段，啊，全都是平原，所以你根本防不住，你根本只要一路冲过来就行了，是不是？所以它这个图们江它就死活不让。所以北朝鲜永远掌握在俄罗斯手上，是吧，掌握在俄罗斯手上。 这里你看这，这为啥这，这这一点呢，就从苏联开始，啊，就给你做的这个局就已经设计好了，设计好了。蒙古的这个啊，当时外蒙古的，呃苏联当时说外蒙古独立，专门画的这个图形，看到没有？就说白了，就是，啊，画的这个边界图形，这都是有讲究的。你现在很多人去看它，比如说，啊，英巴边界，啊，克里米亚，然后麦克马洪线，这都是英国撤退的时候故意留下的，啊，这些地缘政治的边界的冲突，他们很清楚。苏联，说白了，斯大林那时候就已经，就，专门这种画法，这个画法，其实就告诉你啊，你，你完全有很多种画法，比如说直接划到这里，往，往北划一点。那对，啊，你看，他这个画法，其实就告诉你啊，直接山关以东，就是随时切割，随时切割，知道吧。他这种画法，这是，这些具体中国人从来不知道，说白了不知道来龙去脉，不知道为啥这条线是这样划，这个地理边界，啊，为啥是这样划，是不是？[笑] 说白了，你看这就是，啊，整个，你想想，啊，这个格局啊，就很多年前妈都已经注定了的。所以，你说俄罗斯，我想说啥，就说白，早就已经，几十年、上百年对一个国家，是吧，对外在的很清。你像，你像英国殖民印度，一六多少年开始，到最终全面殖民，是到一八多少年，中间前后，啊，从东印度公司一个小分队进去，到最终全面殖，花两百多年，全部拿下，是吧。两百多年。说白了两百多年算个啥？几十年，啊，是不是？我想说的是，只有习还在那还，还舔着脸舔着去舔，舔普京。你这，这，这就基本逻辑他妈都没看明白，是不是？啊，你这舔普京，对，美国就立马跟俄罗斯搞好关系，就这么简单。你越舔，美国越搞好关系，[笑] 是不是？啊。所以就是习，就中共嘛，就是作死，就是，就这个意思，知道吧？就是王朝末年作死，这就是这个，就，就这意思。这，把这都看明，看不明白啊，是吧。天敌的关系他没，没看明白，是不是？是不是，莫博士，你知道吧，这是王朝末年必结束的意思。就这意思啊。

是的，这里面其实说明什么？一，一，呃，就是什么，在美国之后，或者是当时苏联跟中共已经开始翻脸的时候，俄罗斯和苏联已经开始一直在布局什么，布局如何把中共肢解和拿下，把他的利益和各个方面谁拿走。但是问题是美国一直在帮着中共。大家有没有觉得，美国实际是一直压制着什么，俄罗斯和苏联对中共的侵蚀。对吧，就像路德先生说，如果没有美国，没有美国在日本和韩国的驻军，俄罗斯随时可以把东三省、以北和以东全部拿走，中共一点办法都没有。但是这两年中共自以为厉害了，可以跟美国叫织了，那么同时也给出了一个巨大的一个危机。当年俄罗斯和苏联在中共，同时中共的布局又变得什么，可行性了。而中共自己还把什么，这个腹地的关键给了他，对吧？就像路德先生说的，青岛、旅顺，你悄悄地给了俄罗斯，实际上这一条线的通道，你自己，啊，打开了。我们就像中国话，对着，引狼入室，已经什么，狼已经迁到了。你不但引狼入室，还引狼进到自己的卧室门口了，对吧？北京就在那边。所以现在俄罗斯非常开心跟美国合作，为什么？多少年，上百年的布局，从清朝开始。大家有没有去看一下清朝跟国民党实际，就中华民国时期的地图，俄罗斯是无法很快地把东三省拿掉的。为什么？当时清朝跟中华民国的版图。

是的，是的。

I think it, again, trans local, trans historical.

Let's pick the British East India Company and the crown right here.

One supplied the money.

The other, military power and legitimacy.

China wouldn't buy their drugs.

The British East India Company had been flooding the market with Indian opium for decades.

It was profitable, it was addictive, and it worked.

Except China's government saw what was happening.

Britain's response was war.

The first opium war lasted from 1840 to 1842.

The British East India Company didn't just profit, they shaped military strategy.

Britain fought to force China to keep accepting opium.

passed it but the company successfully opposed sir john shaw afterwards lord teganmouth succeeded lord cornwallis an earnest christian and a warm friend of missions but he was compelled to recognise the impossibility or at least the grave mischief even from the missionary's point of view of using the authority of government in any degree in their favour lord mornington afterwards marquis wellesley succeeding sir john shaw was equally friendly in the work and even disposed to promote it in his public character

In the same year, in November, he sends to Thomason the news of the first church missionary meeting in Cambridge.

You will be surprised to hear that we have just had a public meeting for the Missionary Society.

i trembled when it was proposed and recommended the most cautious proceedings there were present about nine hundred persons and one hundred and twenty gown the meeting was very solemn the queen's death being announced in the papers that morning i subjoin the close of that letter though the subject is not in its place here as for my church there is nothing new those who so greatly distressed me are gone and my church is sweetly harmonious as for the gownsmen never was anything like what they are at this day simeon's work for india though it was thus so closely connected with the origin of a great missionary society was however chiefly done through the able and pious cambridge men whom he recommended as chaplains to the east india company without some record of them no view of his religious leadership would be complete martin thomason and their indian brethren from cambridge were living extensions of simeon's faith and labour but i keep this record for another chapter and with it some account of other friends of simeon's here a propos of the church missionary society let me say a little of other similar works into which simeon threw much zeal and effort the british and foreign bible society and the society for promoting christianity among the jews the conversion of the Jews was perhaps the warmest interest in his life, in the way of extended religious enterprise.

In May 1813 he tells Thomason that the Bishop of London is about to consecrate the new chapel which is building for the Jews' Society at Bethnal Green, and that the Archbishop of Canterbury had expressed regret at not having given them his countenance before.

Tensions between Burma and British India had simmered for a few decades, aggravated by Burmese incursions across the frontier.

In 1824, the East India Company responded by dispatching an expedition to Rangoon.

Two years of fighting followed, concluding in a peace treaty that ceded Tanasarim and part of Arakan to the company.

Britain's first territorial foothold in Burma.

And, you know, just a quick little note from history.

You can't understand what's happening right now if you don't understand something like the East India Company.

And it's very, very clear that at some point, if a group of people are trusted with the business of empire, back then it was trading, colonial trading and movement and also slavery.

At some point, when they reach a point of excess capital, they will take over the government.

And so James Bradley was the author.

And Bradley gives a speech saying that opium Every Ivy League college, the Cabot family helped start Harvard University, and they were opium traffickers, opium dealers, getting it from different parts of India and China and all that with the British East India Company, because British East India Company were the biggest opium dealers, but the Cabot family was involved.

The Russell family were the founders of Yale University.

And they were working with the Pierponts, who were also at Harvard, and helping fund Harvard.

Everyone knows the low library.

The lows were opium dealers and all that stuff.

So a lot of the wealthiest families got their incredible wealth through opium shipping with the British East India Company.

And they, you know, got the prestige of control over these different Ivy League schools.
