A romantic video where the king protects the people against evil, what an illusion. Why did the kings build the castles in the first place if not to protect the wealth plundered from the peasants and to maintain their luxurious and often pervert life styles in secrecy?

The history of drugs starts with people finding plants with medical properties and some that give hallucinations. These were used in ceremonies by shamans and the like, but the common people seldom used them until the rulers realized their power.

An important development in drug business was the creation of privateer pirates for queen Elizabeth the first in their war against Spain. The pirates stole the gold from the Spanish who had stolen it from the South American Indians. The Spanish got rich as the British did not manage to steel all the gold and the British got rich with the loot from the Spanish.

After the plundering of Spanish gold the British Islands was a rich kingdom. Their financial worries were wiped away, but they had inherited something from the age of the contracted pirates, they had learned greed and they had crafty seamen. It didn't take long until they realized the potential of trade with the east. East India Trading Company was established to use the seamanship knowledge to generate trading profits. It didn't take long as the ruthless pirates learned that the best profits were made from the drug business, the Indian Opium.

That is the basis for the families running the western world today together with usury bankers. Their descendants are the power elite of today, and they continue the tradition of their ancestors as modern day pirates plundering the natural resources of the defenseless, usury bankers collection interest for money that does not exist, and drug dealers selling death.
