Spanish control in the Philippines facilitated an accelerated exchange with the great Asian country. The Qin dynasty, which ruled China, tried to limit this kind of unfavorable commercial operation with foreign countries as much as possible. It was allowed only through the port of Canton, today called Guangzhou. Britain and Spain had great deficits because of the low demand of the enormous Asiatic country, related to English goods manufactured in the metropolis, or Spanish products coming from the New World that were not essential to China. Both of them had begun to sell opium.
Large-scale opium trade was at first dominated by the Dutch through Jakarta, Indonesia. The English observed the profits that were close to 400 percent. Their opium exports which, in 1730, were 15 tons, grew to 75 in 1773, shipped in crates weighing 70 kilograms each; with this they bought porcelain, silk, spices and Chinese tea. Opium, not gold, was the currency Europe used to acquire Chinese goods.

The author of the link and quote above is persona-non-persona by "Western" standards. This is a case of dehumanization for the expressed purpose of censorship which is a means by which the flow of accurate currency is interrupted. Is that a confusing series of words? How about a modern equivalent?
A troll is a person who lurks in forums and jumps out from under his or her troll bridge posting insults and causing trouble. The troll doesn’t target anyone, mind you; the troll is very specific concerning specific things written by other people as those specific posts link the author to the reader. The troll bridge is the link between the author and the reader. The troll cannot stand by as the authors and the readers cross the bridge. The troll must interrupt that flow of data. Reason may not have anything to do with the behavior of the troll.
The link I am linking to the reader is a similar example on many levels. In this case the stated reason for allowing opium to flow into China while things “Made in China” flow out of China is “Profit” and not merely an equitable profit (whereby everyone profits some) these “Profits” are enormous for specific people at the expense of specific people. The reason for this type of currency flow is unreasonable when employing human moral conscience. Even the employment of the scientific method cannot offer a reasonable explanation for this type of currency flow. Opium flows into China while things “Made in China” flow out of China and the author offers his understanding concerning that flow of currency.

Above is a very simple description of the term “Trade Deficit”. Gold flows from one country into another country as things “Made in China” flow from one country to another country. If this type of ‘deficit’ continues for long the Gold will pile up in China until such time as people in China want to buy something that is not “Made in China”. For those who are not in China and for those who are using Gold to buy things ‘Made in China” the amount of Gold lowers. When the amount of Gold lowers the value of Gold increases and this phenomenon is called “Economics” in general and to be specific concerning this transfer of Gold for things “Made in China” the name of this phenomenon is “Gresham’s Law”.
Back at home where Gold is evaporating the home boys want currency and so they invent currency. Some of the home boys invent Whiskey as currency while other home boys invent paper (I.O.U.) currency. Then again there are even more industrious home boys who invent something called “Legal Tender” and this type of currency is the stuff that is good for tax payments. An official stamp of approval is written into law concerning the special interest of “Legal Tender” and that special interest is, again, the special ability to “PAY TAXES” with “Legal Tender”.
At this time the reader may decide to fix the deficit problem by printing more “Legal Tender” so as to buy more of the things that are “Made in China”. Is that a Novel Idea?
RECAP:
Gold goes into China as things “Made in China” flow out of China. Less Gold and more things “Made in China” exist at home due to this “Trade Deficit”. Home boys invent any currency that can fill the void while Gold becomes scarce at home. “Legal Tender” wins the competition at home for “THE” currency that can be used to “PAY” or else (taxes).
Note: A society that does not have current flow of currency (in some form) is like a human body that does not have blood flowing through it, or oxygen flowing through it, or water flowing through it, or food flowing through it. A society without currency (stuff flowing through it) dies just like a human body dies from lack of blood, oxygen, water, or food.
Gold flows out of society and in place of Gold the home boys create a currency monopoly like a transfusion of infected blood from an Aids Patient into an anemic body suffering from a serious wound. As the good blood drains out of the healthy body there is a flow of bad blood going into the body to keep it alive. That bad blood is invented, produced, issued, and maintained by legal criminals at HOME. They are apt to blame the poor condition of the home body on their victims. They are apt to blame China for this poor condition at HOME. Are the criminals poor? They are apt to blame this poor condition at HOME on the people at home. They are not poor. They are filthy rich and they trade in drugs, torture, and mass murder. They are apt to blame people like the author of the link that inspires these words for the condition at HOME.
I am inspired to ask the following:
Support the troops home.
I trust that some people see clearly and that will be enough
