2Ki 24:4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

In 1839, Chinese Imperial Commissioner Lin Zexu confiscated and destroyed 20,000 chests of British-controlled opium in Canton - approximately 1,400 tons.
He wrote a letter to Queen Victoria asking her to stop the trade: “Where is your conscience? Let us ask, where is your conscience?”
The Queen never responded. Instead, Britain sent warships.
The First Opium War (1839–1842) was not a war over trade disputes or diplomatic insults. It was a war to force a sovereign nation to accept the importation of an addictive narcotic that was destroying its population - because that narcotic was the most profitable commodity in the British Empire’s Asian trade.
This thread is the story of how the world’s most powerful empire went to war - twice - to protect a drug cartel’s revenue. 🧵
Its 36 years since one of the most famous deceptions in history.
A deception the US deep state invented to justify the bloody first invasion of Iraq.
"Kuwaiti girl" Naira tearfully testified before the US Congress in October 1990, where she claimed to have witnessed horrific scenes in one of Kuwait's hospitals
"Iraqi soldiers stormed the hospital, threw newborn babies out of incubators, and left them to die on the cold floor!"
The story pushed the country to war. US senators passed a resolution to invade Iraq by a margin of five votes. Seven of them believed the girl's words.
Two months before the testimony, 17% of Americans supported US involvement in the conflict. Two months later, nearly half of Americans believed military intervention was necessary.
After the war ended, it was revealed that Naira was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, and her story was fabricated by the PR agency Hill & Knowlton, hired by the Kuwaiti government. During the first Iraq war over 135,000 Iraqis were killed.
