Should be part of every American's bookshelf

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020

I picked up this book after hearing of the death of Lyndon Larouche, who was one of the founders of Executive Intelligence Review. This organization was set up to basically serve as an intelligence agency that served the common people, unlike the FBI, CIA, NSA etc. who serve those in power - primarily rich people and corporations. This organization has published several books since its inception during the Cold War, and they deal primarily with the subjects of political economy and international relations.

This book first came out in 1978, and has had several revisions since then. Its original publication put Executive Intelligence Review on the media spotlight, and along with "The Politics of Heroin" by Alfred McCoy, has established the international narcotics trade as a major topic of interest. This book examines the international trade in narcotics, emphasis on opium and heroin. It argues that this trade did not arise naturally, but was created by the British Empire, first to subdue China, and now against the USA.

The book has three authors, and they draw on hundreds of references across multiple languages and origins to piece together the worlds narcotics trade. By following the money, and seeing who is related to who, they show quite convincingly that many of big banking institutions in the world were established partially or even solely to facilitate the narcotics trade, and related activities of money laundering, tax evasion, smuggling, racketeering, and fraud. The book ties together such characters as Jewish Mob leader Meyer Lansky in the US, the Bronfman family of Canada, the Matheson family in the UK, and even early Communist leaders in China such as Chou En Lai.

Though coming in at several hundred pages, this book is written for the layman to understand. It keeps the legal terminology to a minimum, and instead follows the money, with citations of major news scandals that show how big the drug trade is, and how its participants have infiltrated all levels of society in many countries. Overall, a great book and very insightful read.

Why do you think they call it dope, dope?

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2008

Dope Inc. makes a solid case, not just through connecting the dots and theorizing, but also indisputable documentation, that the worlds Heroin trade was and still is controlled by an octopus network of "respectable" world elites, including British aristocrats leading all the way up to the House of Windsor, British based Jewish bankers who finance and launder money for drug operations, a handful of super wealthy blue blood WASP families from the New England area of the USA, with underlings like the so called Mafia, the Chinese Triads and also shows how the drug trade is tightly interwoven with the gold and diamond trade. Another thing I found interesting is how their servants like the Bronfmans and Kennedys moved up the ladder from being disreputable gangsters to high level servants of the elites. Bronfmans have intermarried with Rothschilds and Kennedys with the British aristocracy.

It also has good info on the Chinese Opium wars where the British sent troops into China because the Chinese began to crack down on Opium use and stop British shipments of Opium grown in India into China. Yes they invaded China because China had had enough of Britain enslaving their population to drugs and getting richer off of it. This is mainstream history. Just look up Chinese Opium wars or the British East India Company on Wikipedia or on a search engine. Something tells me your average dumb downed brainwashed University history major has no clue that this ever occured.

The criticisms I have of this are when they go into the occultic side of some of these secret societies I don't agree with all of this books conclusions as to what these groups true beliefs or origins are. There is a lot of political and social bias in this book so you have to watch some of that. I also disagree with the stance this book takes on legalization. If it were up to me Marijuana would be legalized tomorrow and I would at least take a long hard look at legalizing other drugs. Dope Inc and the information in it is dated too. The gears have shifted quite a bit now that they have moved new world order troops into Afhanistan, whose Heroin production suddenly went through the roof after the Taliban was deposed. In spite of those critiques this is still a must read book.
