The current intelligence dispute between the US, UK, and Canada stems from a financial system created during the British Empire’s Opium Wars in China, which continues to operate today.
🏴☠️ The Imperial Blueprint
The Opium Wars established a three-part model:
- 🌍 Source Narcotics in the periphery (Asia, now Latin America).
- 🏦 Legal Immunity in offshore hubs (then treaty ports, now the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Singapore, Hong Kong).
- 💰 Credit Creation in the imperial core (London’s financial center).
💸 Modern Financial Scale
This system now launders $160-200 billion annually through British-linked tax havens. This capital acts as a shadow central bank, providing essential liquidity to the global financial system.
💵 The Currency Shift
After the US tightened rules post-9/11, the drug trade’s wholesale finance moved to the Euro, favored for its anonymity and high-denomination notes.
🚀 US Strikes as Monetary Policy
Recent US missile strikes on drug shipments are a form of “quantitative tightening by force.” Destroying cocaine destroys the future Euro-dollar deposits that London’s banks rely on. When enough drugs are at the bottom of the ocean, the surplus cash that normally feeds London’s offshore loan book dries up, tightening euro-dollar liquidity without the Federal Reserve having to lift interest rates. Effectively, a quantitative-tightening program run by the Pentagon instead of the Fed.
🔒 The Real Reason for the Intelligence Blackout
The UK and Canada’s suspension of intelligence sharing is motivated by financial self-preservation, not legal concerns.
- 🇬🇧 British banks are central to processing cartel capital.
- 🇨🇦 Canadian banks run the Caribbean retail networks that handle cash.
- ⚠️ Assisting US strikes would damage their own financial systems by destroying a key source of liquidity.
🌐 Conclusion: The crisis is another weakening of the alliance between the Anglosphere nations of Britain & Canada who are attempting to protect their imperial-era financial infrastructure while the US military tries to confront it.
