Dope, Incorporated Incorporated Dope, A glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes in the global illegal drug trade... ... and what happened when Lyndon LaRouche tried to expose the truth. eventeen years ago, the first edition of Dope, Inc. was released. Commissioned by anti-drug American statesman Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr, it was the first book to reveal that the illegal drug cartel was becoming the world's biggest business; to name the causes of the war ‘Dope, Inc.’ has waged against every nation in the world; and to reveal the names of the 'untouchable’ figures who protect it, including the European monarchs, whom our Hollywood media have sold to the public as veritable deities. Even before the first copies of the first edition of Dope, Inc.—Britain's Opium War Against the United States, rolled off the press in December 1978, leaders of the narcotics enterprise were busy trying to stop LaRouche. Beginning in summer 1978, the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) launched a multimillion-dollar campaign to label LaRouche and his political associates as "anti-Semites" for daring to expose the involvement of gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Zionist lobby leaders like Edgar Bronfman and Max Fisher in the dope business. LaRouche also identified the powerful British Crown bankers as partners in the dope trade, along with the Jewish crime syndicate. The ADL's ‘anti-Semitic’ smear against LaRouche was pure ‘big lie’ terrorism in the tra- dition of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Everyone who bothered to look into the matter knew that LaRouche’s political career had been built around his discoveries in physical economy, and that by 1978 he had written hundreds of articles and several books exposing the fascist economic austerity policies behind the Nazi holocaust which killed millions of Jews and other victims. The ADL's bizarre slanders prompted E/R's investiga- tors to scrutinise the history of the supposed ‘Jewish civil rights' organisation. The probe turned up a 70-year legacy of intimate ADL tics with Jewish gangsters, from Meyer Lansky and his 'Our Crowd’ sponsor Arnold Rothstein, to more contemporary Dope, Inc. figures such as Max Fisher, Edgar Bronfman, Edmond Safra, Meshulam Riklis, the ADL's own national chairman, Kenneth Bialkin, and the lawyer for the Medellin Cartel's ‘American connection’, Robert Vesco. We also discovered that much of the ADL's financial backing comes from leading families of the Anglo-American estab- lishment, whose fortunes trace back to the British banks and trading companies that ran the opium clipper ships in and out of China in the last century. To this day, the ADL holds the key to the corruption of the American political and judi- cial system, a corruption that was bought and paid for by the proceeds of the international dope trade. Lyndon LaRouche was railroaded to prison on a train built by drug money and stoked by government officials and private agencies on the pad of Dope, Inc. By the summer of 1982, the ADL was joined in its 'Get LaRouche' efforts by Henry A. Kissinger, former Secretary of State and recipient of the ADL's Man of the Year award. Kissinger launched a vendetta to get the federal government to shut down the LaRouche movement. The case of LaRouche associate, Lewis du Pont Smith, illustrates the desperation of the efforts by Kissinger and the ‘Get LaRouche’ task force to stop the LaRouche movement's organising of a national war on drugs. An heir to the du Pont family industrial fortune, Smith contributed US$212,000 to the LaRouche movement in 1985, the bulk of it for the publication of the second edition of this book. Within months, Smith's parents—advised by none other than Kissinger—had secured a judgment in the Chester County, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, depriving their son of control of his inheritance and suspending his basic human rights—such as the right to sign contracts and be mar- ried—on the grounds that Smith was "mentally incompetent". Smith's is the first case in American history in which an individual has been declared incompetent by the courts on the basis of political affiliation.
