The Dragon’s Broker: How the Dents and Breakspeares Delivered China to Rome

Cause Before Symptom - With Your Host James Carner

For centuries, China stood as a civilizational fortress—vast, ancient, and spiritually independent. But it did not fall by sword or siege. It was brokered. This show unveils the covert hand that delivered the dragon to the Vatican’s Beast system, not through invasion, but through infiltration—by families who served no flag but Rome's throne.

The Dragon’s Broker follows the Dent family—British opium traders with Jesuit ties—and their entwinement with the Breakspeare line, historically linked to the only English Pope. Through trade, treaties, and trust-breaching diplomacy, these agents opened the gates of Canton, rewrote the DNA of Chinese finance, and helped orchestrate a cultural and spiritual submission to Western control.

This was not mere colonialism—it was a priestly handoff. From the Jesuits embedded in the Forbidden City to the engineers of modern banking reform, a long game unfolded. By the time China "rose" again, it had already been rewired to serve the same master as the West. This scroll reveals how ancient bloodlines, religious deception, and financial warfare aligned to tame the last dragon—delivering it not to freedom, but to the Beast that rules by debt, data, and doctrinal domination.
