It became a blur because it was just like Trump.

There were so many indictments at the state and the federal level.

Now, one thing I have to say, which I would want to say anyway, following LaRouche's passing, his widow, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, took the organization in a direction which we completely disagreed with.

And so those of us who formed Promethean Action split off and we have nothing to do with her, which we need to say legally, but as I say, I would want to do anyway.

You know, take, for example, the question of the international drug trade.

You know, the key element, and this is something that Bess and the Trump administration are taking on, the key element of the international narcotics trade, you know, is not the cigar boats with the drugs on them.

It's who launders the drug money.

And there, all you have to do is go back to the 1960s, when the British, the city of London in particular,

set up the entire offshore banking operation in the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, and so on, where you have these black boxes of complete and total secrecy in terms of moving money.

This is where the financial flows which finance international drug trafficking come from.

You also have very premier institutions like Hong Kong, Shanghai,

In the 1970s, we wrote a book entitled Dope Incorporated.

And some of the research we used came from the, I think she was the bank commissioner of New York, who had filed a brief against Hong Kong, Shanghai being able to charter itself in New York because of their role in international drug money laundering.

So all we did is we just started to put all the pieces together.

Now, you know, this was then caricatured.

I think there was even a Saturday Night Live skit, you know, which shows somebody playing the Queen of England with nickel bags, you know, handing them off to Henry Kissinger, who, by the way,

at one point gave a speech at Chatham House, where he said, when I was Secretary of State, I kept the British Foreign Office more closely informed than I did the State Department.

So, you know, confessions, essentially.

But, you know, but when you look at the institutions, in terms of drug money laundering, in fact, it was about 10 years ago, I think it was the fellow who was the drug

anti-drug czar for Russia, I think his name was Costa or Cotta, gave a speech at the United Nations where he pretty much said everything we had said in Dope Inc.
