The Sassoon family has run the world OPIUM trade for centuries.

His eight sons also branched out into many directions. 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. With two of his brothers he later became prominent in England and the family great friends of the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII.

the Sassoon Family are known as the ''Rothschilds of the East'' and its interesting that everyone ''chatters'' about the Rothschilds but have no idea about the Sassoon cartel..

1887: Opium trafficker in China, Edward Albert Sassoon, marries Aline Caroline de Rothschild, the grand-daughter of Jacob (James) Mayer Rothschild. Aline Caroline's father, Gustave, together with his brother, Alphonse, took over the Rothschild's french arm following their father Jacob's death.

From wikipedia:

The Sassoon family is a famous family of Iraqi Jewish descent and international renown. It was based in Baghdad, Iraq, before moving to Mumbai, India and then spreading to China, England, and other countries. It is said that the family descended from the famous Ibn Shoshans, one of the richest families of medieval Al-Andalus, although the origins are ambiguous (see section below). From the 18th century, the Sassoons were one of the wealthiest families in the world, with a merchant empire spanning the continent of Asia.[1]


Who are these bloodliners REALLY?? They are always of ambiguous origin and hard to trace.

A lot about the Sassoon family can be read in an unlikely book, The Stone of Heaven, Unearthing the History of Imperial Green Jade by Levy and Scott-Clark.
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.
