Anonymous Coward User ID: 1241416 Australia 01/24/2011 07:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to wikispooks.com (secure)] David Sasson (October 1792 - November 1864) has been memorably and accurately described as "the greatest Drugs Kingpin in the history of the world" [1] but official histories do their level best to obliterate - or at the very least obfuscate - his dominant involvement in the opium trade which was the major source of his wealth. Sassoon was a pivotal figure in both the trading regime of the British Raj and British Subjugation of China in the first "Opium War" of 1839-41, but in spite of this, he does not have an entry in Encyclopedia Britannica. Similarly the Wikipedia entry has been sanitised over the years to remove all reference to his instigation of the "Opium Wars" [2]; the Jewish encyclopedia devotes two thirds of its entry to his philanthropy |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 833846People need to take notice more.. the real elite are well and trully hidden.. Obviously the Sassoon family are not hidden. If you 'expose' and 'remove' the Sassoon family, some other family or group will meet the demand. It's their business - attacking them means you want to take over their operations or assist others to do so. If you want to stop the heroin trade, educate people on why they shouldn't shoot up. Oh wait, that's being done and people still want to do it and destroy themselves. You can't fix stupid. |

If it wasn't traded at all figures in America amongst teens taking heroin would not have gone up 3 times in 2 years.. During Vietnam War 30% of US Marines were addicted to heroin..Little fact. |

It tells about the incredible trading houses in China during the disorder of the late 19th and 20th centuries, and the trafficking in imperial jadeite gemstones. If you enjoy a well--researched glimpse into a little-known, thorougly violent and corrupt time in history about which little is commonly known -- read Stone of Heaven.

The Sassoon family was very heavily involved in the opium trade in China and India. Elias David (1820 - 1880), his son by his first wife, had been the first of the sons to go to China, in 1844. He later returned to Bombay, before leaving the firm to establish E. D. Sassoon in 1867, with offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Another son, Albert Abdullah David Sassoon (1818 - 1896) took on the running of the firm on his father's death, and notably constructed the Sassoon Docks, the first wet dock built in western India.

In 1903, Sir Edward Sassoon purchased Trent Park, passing it to his son, Phillip, in 1912. Sir Phillip Sassoon bought the freehold in 1926 and set about creating a place suitable for grand entertainment. He re-fashioned the house (using bricks from the demolition of Devonshire House in Piccadilly), created a golf course, a landing strip and a water garden and planted thousands of daffodils and narcissi in the lawns surrounding the house. He also erected three monuments; bought from Wrest Park, the most notable being the large 20m tall column in the north of Trent Park, bearing the inscription "To the memory of the birth of George Grey, Earl of Harold, son of Henry and Sophia, Duke and Duchess of Kent. 1702". During his time at Trent Park, Sir Phillip enjoyed the company of such guests as T.E.Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and Winston Churchill. When Sir Phillip died suddenly of fever in 1939, his ashes were scattered over the park from an aeroplan |
