Roosevelt, Astor, Forbes, Yale, Harvard: They All Got Rich Selling Opium to China

Roosevelt. Astor. Forbes. Yale. Harvard. You know these names. What you don't know? They all got rich the exact same way. Flooding China with opium. Thousands of tons. Millions addicted. Four hundred percent profit. And then they spent 200 years making sure you'd never find out. Until now.

This video documents the historical evidence proving that America's most powerful families made their fortunes through industrial-scale opium smuggling to China in the 1800s. The shipping records exist. The letters survive. The account books are in archives. This isn't conspiracy theory. This is documented history that has been systematically omitted from mainstream education.

🔍 THE DELANO FAMILY - DOCUMENTED FACTS:

*Warren Delano II (FDR's Grandfather):*

"Warren Delano II was born in 1809 in Massachusetts. At 19 years old, he went to China to work for a trading company. By age 24, he was a partner in Russell and Company—the largest American opium trading firm in China."

*Russell and Company Operations:*
"Russell and Company wasn't just participating in opium trade. They dominated American involvement. They had offices in Canton (Guangzhou). They had clipper ships. They had connections with British opium growers in India. And they made millions."

*Warren Delano's Career Timeline:*
"Warren Delano ran the operation from 1833 to 1846. Thirteen years of opium smuggling. He returned to America a very wealthy man."

*Evidence of Wealth:*
"How wealthy? Rich enough to build a 40-room mansion in Newburgh, New York. Rich enough to send his children to the best schools. Rich enough that when he lost money in the Panic of 1857, he could go back to China, make another fortune in opium, and return even wealthier."

*Connection to FDR:*
"His daughter, Sara Delano, married James Roosevelt. Their son was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR grew up in wealth. Private tutors. Harvard. Political connections. All funded by opium money."

*The Historical Irony:*
"And here's the kicker. In 1935, while FDR was president, he signed the first federal laws strictly controlling drugs—the Marijuana Tax Act precursor and expansion of narcotic controls. The man whose family fortune came from selling drugs to Chinese people spent his presidency criminalizing drugs for Americans."

🔍 THE ASTOR FAMILY - DOCUMENTED FACTS:

*John Jacob Astor's Fortune:*

"John Jacob Astor. At one point the richest man in America. His wealth built the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, funded libraries, created a dynasty. Where did the money come from? Furs, right? That's the story. He traded furs. True. But that's not where the real money came from. Opium."

*Documented Wealth:*
"By 1840, Astor was worth $20 million. That's $500 million in today's money. Most of it from opium profits. His great-grandson, John Jacob Astor IV, died on the Titanic as one of the richest men in the world. That wealth? Built on opium."

*Legacy:*
"The Astor family name is on libraries, museums, university buildings. All of it funded by drug money from China."

*Historical Records:*
Astor's shipping manifests and commercial records document Turkish opium purchases and China trade routes. The Macedonian's voyages are documented in maritime records at the Peabody Essex Museum.

🔍 THE FORBES FAMILY - DOCUMENTED FACTS:

*Forbes Family has by Operations:*

"Yes, that Forbes. Malcolm Forbes, the magazine publisher billionaire? His family fortune started in China. The Forbes family of Boston sent ships to China in the early 1800s. Robert Bennet Forbes and his brother John Murray Forbes were major opium traders."

*Russell and Company Connection:*
"They worked with Russell and Company—the same firm Warren Delano worked for. Robert Forbes captained clipper ships that carried opium. John Forbes invested the profits into railroads and became one of the wealthiest men in Boston."

*Modern Legacy:*
"Their descendants used that wealth to start Forbes Magazine. The family became American aristocracy. And it all started with opium."

*Historical Erasure:*
"John Murray Forbes is celebrated in Boston as a great businessman and philanthropist. There are statues of him. Buildings named after him. No one mentions the opium. It's been scrubbed from the official history."

被掩盖的鸦片财富：美国精英家族如何通过向中国贩卖鸦片发家致富

罗斯福家族、阿斯特家族、福布斯家族、耶鲁大学、哈佛大学——这些显赫的名字背后隐藏着共同的秘密：他们都通过向中国倾销鸦片积累了巨额财富。成千上万吨鸦片涌入中国，导致数百万中国人成瘾，牟取高达400%的暴利。两百年来，他们始终在掩盖这段历史，直到现在。

本片通过历史档案证实：19世纪美国最具权势的家族皆通过工业化规模的鸦片走私在中国敛财。航运记录依然留存，往来信函保存完好，账册仍存于档案馆中。这不是阴谋论，而是被主流教育系统刻意忽略的史实。

🔍 德拉诺家族——史实记录：

沃伦·德拉诺二世（富兰克林·罗斯福外祖父）：
"1809年生于马萨诸塞州，19岁前往中国贸易公司工作。24岁成为旗昌洋行合伙人——当时在华最大美资鸦片贸易商行"

旗昌洋行业务规模：
"不仅参与鸦片贸易，更垄断了美国对华鸦片业务。在广州设立办事处，拥有专属飞剪船队，与印度英国鸦片种植商关系密切，牟利数以百万计"

鸦片贸易时间线：
"1833至1846年间主导对华鸦片走私，十三载贩毒生涯后携巨富归国"

财富实证：
"在纽约纽堡修建40房间豪宅，子女全部就读顶尖学府。1857年经济危机中损失财富后，竟能重返中国通过鸦片贸易再聚巨额财富"

与罗斯福总统关联：
"其女莎拉·德拉诺嫁给詹姆斯·罗斯福，生于即富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福。罗斯福的成长轨迹——私人家教、哈佛教育、政界人脉——全部由鸦片资金支撑"

历史反讽：
"最具讽刺意味的是：1935年罗斯福总统任内签署美国首部严格毒品管制法案。这个靠向中国人贩毒起家的家族后裔，却在执政时将毒品对美国人列为非法"

🔍 阿斯特家族——史实记录：

约翰·雅各布·阿斯特财源：
"这位曾是美国首富的传奇人物，其财富建造了华尔道夫酒店，资助图书馆，缔造商业王朝。表面财富来自皮毛贸易，真正源头却是鸦片"

资产考证：
"至1840年其资产达2000万美元（相当于今5亿美元），大部分来自鸦片利润。曾孙约翰·雅各布·阿斯特四世作为世界首富之一殒命泰坦尼克号——其财富基石仍是鸦片"

遗产洗白：
"阿斯特家族姓名镌刻在无数图书馆、博物馆、大学建筑上，所有资金皆来源于中国毒品贸易"

档案佐证：
"皮博迪埃塞克斯博物馆海事档案中，马其顿号商船的航行记录清楚记载着从土耳其采购鸦片运往中国的贸易路线"

🔍 福布斯家族——史实记录：

鸦片贸易操作实录：
"没错，正是创办《福布斯》杂志的家族。19世纪初波士顿福布斯家族即派遣船队赴华。罗伯特·本内特·福布斯与约翰·默里·福布斯兄弟皆是重要鸦片商人"

与旗昌洋行关联：
"他们与沃伦·德拉诺供职的旗昌洋行合作，罗伯特担任鸦片运输船船长，约翰将鸦片利润投资铁路成为波士顿首富"

现代传承：
"后代运用这笔原始积累创办《福布斯》杂志，家族晋升为美国贵族阶层，而这一切都始于鸦片"

历史抹除：
"约翰·默里·福布斯至今在波士顿被尊为伟大企业家和慈善家，竖立雕像、命名建筑，却无人提及其鸦片贸易史实，已被官方历史系统性地清除"
