In writing about the Li family and Chinese secret societies, I am like the man who wakes up in the middle of the night while everyone else sleeps and then gropes around in the darkness trying to feel his way. I can share with you what I’ve learned, but undoubtedly there is a great deal more that can be learned.
   
When the year started I knew only a little about the Li family, and that only from what I had heard. I didn’t even know how to spell their name correctly. I was spelling it Lee (Actually the Li family name is spelled Lee in some areas such as Hokkien, Teochew, and Singapore, and by some Chinese Americans.)                                                                                  
    
UNDERSTANDING HOW CHINESE NAMES ARE JOINED
A Chinese is name is made up of a family name (surname), which is written first, and then comes the personal name. In the Chinese way of things my name would be Springmeier Fritz. Family names are usually of one character each, although there are exceptions like Ouyong and Situ. There are over 6,000 Chinese surnames for about I billion Chinese. The more frequent chinese surnames in English speaking countries such as the U.S., U.K., & Australia are Chan, Lin, Li, Wong, Huang, Mei, Yang, Chin, and Fong. In mainland China the 5 top families are Chen, Li, Zhang, He, and Huang.
    
FAMILY NAMES ARE MORE MEANINGFUL FOR CHINESE (IN CHINA) THAN FOR AMERICANS
The chinese surname Li is a very popular name in China, perhaps not as widespread as Smith in the United States, but certainly used as much as the name Brown is in America. Chinese who have the same surname have much more loyalty to someone else who has the same surname. For instance, two chinese with the Li name would consider themselves relatives even if they were total strangers. Even if two people knew no blood ties, if they had the same surname it has generally been considered incestuous to marry each other in China. In the U.S. if two Browns without any apparent blood ties met each other, they would not feel as if they were close relatives which two Chinese with the same surname would. The Li surname has a long history which goes back to a specific person named Emperor Zhuanzu who was the first Li and lived before 2000 B.C. This is according to the Xing Zuan, the Chinese dictionary of surnames. The Li family has a long history in China with many stories. During the Tang Dynasty about 15 different surnames were given the honor of having the Li surname. Li Yuan was the founder of the Tang Dynasty which lasted from 618 to 906 A.D. His son who ruled after him was Li Shimin. In their dynasty, printing and paper money were introduced to China. (It’s interesting that the Li’s are connected the introduction of paper money.)
    
    ARE THE DIFFERENT IMPORTANT LI’S RELATED?
    In recent history three Li’s stand out as giants.
    •The billionaire and de facto ruler of Hong Kong Li Ka-shing.
    •Li Peng the ruler of Red China.
    •Lee Kuan Yew President (& dictator) of Singapore
    
I don’t know which of the Li’s are closely related and which are not. I do know that Li’s control Red China, Hong Kong, and Singapore and have important positions in Taiwan. If the various Li’s which control these various nations are related, then we are certainly looking at one of the most powerful families in the world. In terms of power, they would be just as powerful as the Rockefellers. They also connect to secret occult societies, but the secret societies which the Li’s are major players in are the Chinese secret societies. Those will be covered elsewhere in this newsletter.
    
WHICH ONES ARE PART OF THE ILLUMINATI?
I have learned from a source that Li Ka-shing and the powerful Hong Kong Li’s are definitely part of the Satanic llluminati Li’s. in terms of whether the Li’s who run Red China are part of the Illuminati, I know nothing that directly connects them. However, there are clues that make one wonder. For instance, why do the Rockefellers and Rothschilds have such a cosy relationship with these Red Chinese Li’s. Why does the Premier (or Prime Minister) of the People’s Republic of China Li Peng visit with the Rockefellers and other capitalists when he comes to New York City, if he is such a hard-line communist? Haven’t the Communists named the CapitalIsts their major enemy? And then when we watch men who are in the Illuminati such as Skull & Bones George Bush treat the Chinese Li’s with such closeness, even when it was Li Peng that crushed innocent people at Tiennamen Square, it makes us wonder still. In fact, with other pieces of the puzzle that I have in place, I do know that Red China is already cooperating with and part of the New World Order. The only way that China could already be secretly part of the New World Order is for its leaders who are the Li family to be in favor of the New World Order. This strongly suggests that the Li family in China is also part of the Illuminati. From what I know the range of possibilIties range from them being only sympathizers with the NWO elite to them being outright members of the Illuminati. I lean toward the latter view.
   
Then there is Singapore. Singapore is lock stock and barrel in the New World Order. They went to a cash less Society before anyone else. One of the Li family who spells his name Lee, Lee Kuan Yew, a Cambridge-educated lawryer, was dictator of Singapore for decades. He has ties to the British elite. As an example of his dictatorship, Lee didn’t like long hair on men, and so men coming into Singapore with long hair would have their passports taken away and either got a haircut or went to jail. In 1959, when Brittain gave Singapore its Independence, the Li family (in this case also spelled Lee) controlled the People’s Action Party which ruled the country. In 1976, the People’s Action Party monopolized politics so much that they won all 69 seats for Parliament. Lee Kuan Yew was placed into the all-powerful position of President in 1965, where he remained I belIeve until 1991. Singapore’s leaders made Singapore very anti-communistic during the cold war, and when Nixon began his trips to woo China., Singapore began making goodwill political mission to China. In 1975, Lee’s henchman Foreign Minister S. Rajaratnam went to China and met with Chou En-lai. Chou En-lai was the mentor and friend of Li Peng.
    
Li Peng’s early life.
Actually, to be more specific after Li Peng’s father, who was a leading communist, was shot by the nationalists in 1931, Chou Enlal more or less adopted Li Peng and raised him. Chou Enlal got Li Peng into Moscow’s school system, where, when the Russians finally realized his brilliance wanted to keep Li Peng and train him for their own purposes, and Li had to escape back to China. For whatever reasons Li Peng was an advocate of the Soviet style of economics. Before being placed into his prominent position that he holds today, Li Peng managed China’s economy for many years.
    
Lee met Mao
In 1976, Lee Kuan Yew himself met with Mao Tse-Tung (then the leader of Red China). Mao Tse-Tung himself is closely tied to the Li family. Li Ta-chao was the head of the communist party in Northern China during the fighting with the Nationalists. Mao’s bodyguard was a Li family member Li Yinqiao. Mao’s mentor was Li Ta-chao, who had ties to the Red Spears Secret Society. Other early high ranking communists such as Chu Teh, Ho Lung, and Liu Chib-tan had memberships in the Red Spears Secret Society and Li Ch’l-han, an early communist leader, was a member of the Green Gang Secret Society. We will cover more about the Li family and Its relationship to Chinese Secret Societies later, as weil as explaining some about the various powerful secret fraternities. It may well have been Li Ta-chao’s guidance that lead to Mao Tse-Tung writing the first systematic attempt by a Chinese Marxist to characterize the class basis of secret societies, and emphasizing their importance for revolution. Mao cooperated with the Ko-Ino Hui, a secret society, that helped his revolution, but strangely the official collection of Mao’s works neglects to include Mao’s appeal to them for help. (This neglect is noted on page 4 of Popular Movements & Secret Societies in China. 1840-1950) Mao Tse-Tung is also a product of the Harlot Christian church. Mao as a boy had wanted to learn of Christ and attend a Missionary school, but when he went to it, they threw him rudely out because he was Chinese. Mao never forgot the bad treatment he received at the hands of Christians. That explains in part his hatred of Christianity.
    
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LI ILLUMINATI FAMILY IN HONG KONG
The Rothschild, and the Rockefeller families have a very high respect for the Chinese and Japanese people in relation to some of the other peoples in the world. That is one reason why China and Japan are being given the chance to be important players in the New World Order. The powerful Li family in Hong Kong is part of the Illuminati This family maintains good public relations. They are philanthropists. Billionaire Li Ka-shing donated money to create a University in Shantou in South China. The cost of the University and its teaching hospital were reported at 85 million U.S. dollars in Fortune Magazine 7/13/92, p. 107. The following chart shows Li Ka-shing’s financial empire, which extends worldwide. According to Fortune Magazine,  7/13/92, p. 106, Li Ka-shing is worth 4 Billion Us. dollars. Another article notes that he made Hong Kong$13.4 billion from real estate sales in 1991 alone. Li Ka-shing has lived in the same house on a hill in Hong Kong for 30 years. Li Ka-shing had little to no formal schooling. He is self-taught. His sons have been weil educated at Stanford. Victor became an engineer, and his other son Richard majored in computer science and is running Star TV in Hong Kong. Other wealthy friends of Li Kashing get together with him regularly to play poker games. Li Ka-shing is chairman or chief executive of his four big companies in Hong Kong. He hires both Chinese and western executives for day-to-day management. Simon Murray, a Dalton who served in the French Foreign Legion, is one of Li’s trusted managers. Murray had worked for Jardine Matheson, a business owned by one of the Committee of 300. Li has built global alliances with British companies, and has part ol Pearson, a British holding company which in turn as interest in Lazard banking Arms in N.Y., London, and Paris. As one can see Li Ka-shing is doing business with the big boys of International Banking. Li also has Joint ventures with MTV, AT&T, Motorola, and Time-Warner. Li’s Star TV broadcast 5 channels to viewers all the way from Israel to Indonesia. The programming comes from the BBC news, and MTV, and some minor pardners. Li is giving Madonna and the rest of Hollywood to the Asians. Li also invested in Vancouver, B.C. He bought the Expo 86 site which is 1/6th of downtown Vancouver. 27% of Vancouver’s 560,000 citizens are of Chinese descent. Vancouver is a Triad stronghold. This will discuss elsewhere Li Ka-shing has been allowed by the elite to buy into Canada’s Husky Oil. He could not have done this without the elite’s tolerance. The Oil and Gas Journal, Nov. 18, ‘91, p. 36 states that Li now has 86 % of Husky Oil.

    THE REST OF THE LI HONG KONG CLAN
    The hugh Bank of East AsIa (BEA) is run by Li Kwok-po. BEA has gone into partnerships with such Illuminati-connecte d companies as G. Warburg. Li Kwok.po (also known as David Li) also serves in the Hongkong legislature as the councilor who represents the banking community. He is also a vice-chairman of the committee drawing up the future Chinese administrative region that Hong Kong will soon become. He was chosen for this position by the Red Chinese because ‘He was chosen by
    the Chinese mainly because or his family background. The extended Li family, with most of its members holding British passports, is one of the territory’s rich and influential old families.’ (Far Eastern Economic Review, June 1989, p. 47) Li has been urging the Hong Kong people to trust the Com munist Chinese government. David Li did not comment on the Tienamen squa re massacre when asked. David Li holds a full British passport and can go anywhere be wants. Most people in Hong Kong have only a Hong Kong passport that gives them British citizenship but doesn’t entitle them to travel. David Li’s uncle is Simon Li, who was a justice of appeal in Hong Kong,, and also selected for the BLDC. His other uncle Ronald Li was the former chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and a member of the Basic law Consultative Committee. Ronald Li and his son got caught using their Stock Exchange positions in corrupt money making offenses, and were to be brought to trial. I don’t know how it turned out. Another uncle Li Fook-kow was elected in Sept. ‘88 to represent the Hong Kong financial community in the government.When the scandal broke concerning the elite’s BCCI, the Hong Kong branch-Bank of Credit and Com merce Hongkong (BCCHK) was shielded from investigation. BCCHK’s chief executive Tariq Jamil who could have been called upon to answer questions skipped the country. Hongkong authorities made no attempt to stop him. David Li got involved and suggested that the Exchange Fund be used to help his BEA acquire BCCHK.. Another key figure in the BCCHK,, was Louis Sau bolle, who was previously Bank of Ame rica’s chief contact with Red China. Louis Saubolle has travelled to mainland China regularly since the 1940s. He is rumored to have done dubious practices while chairman of BCCHK, but he left the country for destinations unknown.
    •A Li heads up American Express International in the area.
    •Li. Pel Wu was one of the five best paid chief executives in bank ing in 1990.
    •Some of the Li family in Hong Kong have taken on the trappings of Christianity behind which are their other nefarious activities. One Li, Florence Tim Oi Li, has become a lady Catholic priest. (National Catholic Reporter, Oct. 19, ‘90, p. 12.
    • Richard Li has become a media mogul for Asia.
    •And Victor Li ran the East-West Cen ter in Hawaii.
    
    RED CHINA
    ‘The real decislonmaking in China’s political system takes place within the Politburo, and particularly among the seven members of its standing committee, in consultation with retired Party elders.’ (The China Business Review, Jan-Feb. 1993, p. 22) This inner circle of seven men Includes two members of the Li family: Li Peng, who is the head of this inner circle, and Li Ruihuan, who is head of the CommunIst Party’s Propaganda. Li Ruihuan has been a member of this inner circle since 1989. The other men on the inner circle are Jiang Zemin, Qiao Shi, Hu Jintao, Liu Huaqing, and Zhu Rongji. As premier or Prime Minister of China Li Peng has met with a great many of the world’s leaders, and many of the Illuminati’s men. Here is a sampling of Li Peng’s meetings:
    April 28, ’90-Soviet leaders around July, ’91-U.S.- China Business Council Officials which includes Illuminati members. Aug. 15, 91- Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu Sept. 3, ’91- Great Britain’s Prime Minister John Major Nov. 16, ’91-Sec. of State James A. Baker Dec. 12-14, ’91 - Prime Minister of India P.V. Narasiaha Rao Feb. 1, ’92 - Pres. George Bush Peb. 3, ’92-top U.S. capitalists (Illuminati members) Feb. 10, ’92 -Yeltsin in Russia Do the world’s leaders confer with each other?
    
    Li Peng is not the only important Li family member to be the President or Premier of China:
    •Li Xlannian was involved in the power struggle after Mao’s death and was President of China. For a num ber of years Li. Xiannian was considered one of the four top leaders of Red China. For many years Li Xiannian did lots of travelling to places like Africa where he held high level meetings with other leaders.
    •Li Desheng was a member of the Politburo, Central Committee of the Communist Party, and served in key military posts.
    •Li Qiang was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and was appointed Minister of Foreign Trade in 1978.
    
    CONTACT/COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ILLUMINATI & THE LI’S
    General Li Mi fled to the Golden Triangle and was provided via CIA agents supplies. It was Li Mi who started up the poppy fields to produce drugs that would be marketed by the other top IllumInati families. It was not chance that Li began opium production. The whole affair was a carefully calculated event by the Illuminati who have made millions running drugs for centuries. In the 1960, another Li took over after Li Mi died. His name was Li Wen-huan.
    The elite made room for the Li’s to open the Li Commercial Bank for business on Long Island, N.Y.
    After Bush was ambassador to China, Carter selected 6° (Pilgrim Soc. mmbr) Thomas S. Gates to represent the U.S. to China. David Rockefeller gave his O.K. to the
    selection of Gates, and Gates was trans ferred directly from working on the board ofJ.P. Morgan & Co. to Peking. The Illuminati’s banks have been lining up over the years making loans to Red China. One of the articles that I read to understand where Clinton was going with Red China was in the Jan-Feb ’93 issue of The China Business  which had on its cover a picture of Clinton and Li Peng with the question “A NEW ERA?” As many of the eli te’s articles are it was long on rhetoric, propaganda. etc. I think the bottom line was that Clinton is going to follow the advice of his China advisors and that Clintom does not want to rock the boat in our relations with Communist China. The idea that is being planted by the question on the cover is about the size of things, the elite are moving us closer to their "new era."

    The Li Family and Chinese Secret Societies
    In my investigation of the Triads I discovered that the Li family is one of the principal families which has controlled it. The Triads is a ChInese Secret Society which is something of a cross between the Masons and the Mafia -- something in the line of P2 Freemasonry --except much bigger. The Triads are not well known in this country but they are many more times powerful than the Mafia. It is known that the Mafia was invited to work with the Triads in 1970, and at the time the Mafia didn’t like the Triads arrogance. However, in my opinion the Triads were not being arrogant considering how powerful they were at the time. I suggest the reader read the article on the Triads for more understanding on this. For the sake of completeness, I will list some of the Li's past and present that have been important Triad leaders.
    (see below) I am not trying to weary you with all these strange names, but in brea king new ground on understanding this powerful Illuminati family, if specific details are not given out, we risk losing some of the picture. The Li’s control Hong Kong and the Triads run Hong Kong. Is there a connection between the Li family and the Triads. Yes there is a big one, but it is very secret.
    
    TRIAD LEADERS OF THE FAMILY
    Li Chi-tang - overseas leader
    Li Hslen - chih
    Li Hsiu-ch’eng - Hunan
    Li Hung - Honan
    Li K’ai-ch’en - Triad, Shanghai
    Li Lap Ting - Kwangsi province
    Li Ping-ch’ing - Triad, Shanghai
    Li Shih-chin
    Li Wen-mao - north of Peking,
    Fatshan
    Li Yuan-fa - Hunan
    Li Chol Fat -Hong Kong
    Li Jarfar Mah - Britain
    
    THE LI FAMILY AND GENETICS
    The Li family has also provided some of the greatest scientists in the field of genetic research. Genetic research has been a avid interest of the Satanic Hierarchy.
    
    SUMMARY
    The facts I have of what is going on with the Li family are Just enough to provide us with the basic picture. The Li family in Hong Kong is part of the Satanic Hierarchy and works hand in glove with British and American elite. They also help run the Triads. Whether or not the Li’s in Hong Kong are related to the Red Chinese Li’s who run China I do not know, but it is clear that some Li’s run Red China and also Singapore. Both these countries work hand in hand with the Satanic hierarchy so it makes one suspicious as to whether their leaders are part of the hierarchy too. If these Li’s do consider themselves blood relatives-which they might-we know that according to Chinese custom they would do this to a great extent anyway, then that makes the Li family an incredibly powerful family of worldwide importance.

    Chinese Secret Societies
    This article will primarily deal with the Triads which have so many other names it would take pages upon pages to give them all. One of the names the Triads have had is the Heaven and Earth Society. Other principal names include the Hung League, and the Three United Association. The Freemasons have been very interested in the Triads and several Masons have done in depth studies and written books about the Thads including G. Schlegel (The Hung League. 1866), J.S.M. Ward (The Hung Society - see another quote of his on pg. 2), and W.G. Sterling (The Hung Society. 1925) (This article will be trimmed back-and perhaps some of the information can be provided in a future newsletter.) The history of China is a history of authoritarian dynasties and the secret societies that opposed them. Throughout Chinese history, there has basically been only one recourse to opposition to the establishment, that was through secret societies. Secret societies have been a way for the poweriess, to struggle against what ever they perceived as the cause of their misery. There has never been any lack of recruits for chinese secret societies, and there has never been any lack of causes to use to rally the poor masses against for motivating people into joining secret societies. There seems to be no end to the supply of men willing to lead secret societies also. In fact, I know of over 250 Chinese secret societies, some of which are no longer in existence. Obviously, we are not going to cover that many secret societies in this article. What criteria do I have for selecting what I will write about in this article. First, I desire to show the compatibility of Chinese secret societies to western secret societies. This compatibility is the reason that the Triads can work with the Mafia, the CIA, and the Illuminati. These points of compatibility explain how Freemasonry can work with some of the Chinese secret societies. For instance, I have a copy of The New Age magazine, Sept. 1964, p. 38, which is put out by The Supreme Council 33º which states,
    ‘Chinese Wootsu [sic] Society Compared to Freemasonry
    ‘Brother Morris B. de Pass, 33°, Master of Kadosh of the Peking Scottish Rite Bodies, in his annual report, includes the following interesting story in regard to Wootsu Society. ‘During the past year I had the pleasure of meeting an ‘Old China Hand,’ himself a Scottish Rite Mason, who, learning of my China background, asked me if I had any knowledge of an old Chinese organization similar to Masonry. I felt certain he had in mind the ‘Wootsu Society’ (Woo meaning 5, and Tsu meaning ‘Ancestor’) or, in English, ‘the Society of the Five Ancestors., “...some fornignors living in China ... were of the opinion that The Society of the Five Ancestors was the Eastern Branch of that movement which developed in Western countries into Freemasonry .... The tenets of the Wootsu Society do have much in common with those of Freemasonry. They pay homage to Buddha, whom they accept as the incarnation of a Supreme Deity they believe in immortality they teach ‘Faithfulness unto Death’; and they practice secrecy. The Society differs from Masonry in that there is no counterpart of the Volume of the Sacred Law as being an indispensable part of its Furniture; ... and it is open to both men and women.’Perhaps no one better epitomizes the connections and overlap between East and West occult secret societies than the life of Sun-Yat-Sen. Sun-Yat-Sen led China to overthrow the monarchy and create a republic. Sun-Yat-Sen was a leader in several Triad groups, such as the Hong Kong based Chung Wo Tong Society and the Kwok On Wui Society in Honolulu and Chicago. Soon after arriving in Hawaii he formed the Tai Luk Shan, a new Triad group. Sun-Yat-Sen played the key role in setting up 268 other branches of the Triads too. In Japan he set up the T’ung Meng Hui. In Singapore and Malaysla he set up Triad lodges too. He was a high ranking Freemason, and he attended an Anglican school in Hong Kong. Sun-Yat-Sen and the millionaire Chang Ching-Chang who was an international art dealer worked together. Sun-Yat-Sen travelled in the US. and Europe gaining support for his revolution. Several other great non-Communist Chinese leaders have also had membership in both the Triads and Freemasonry.
    
    TRIAD RITUALS
    Triad rituals were an elaborate affair but have continued to be streamlined over the years. The ritual initiation drew from 3 religious sources: Taoism (magic), Buddhism, and what might be called Confucianism. Taoism emphasized the importance of blood ancestry, of magic, and alchemy. The traditional initiation lasts about eight hours, and includes ritual dance, secret hand-shakes, a blood sacrifice, and pricking the finger of the new initiates.
    The Triads have an extremely long history and a lot of heritage. In order to try to capsulize what they are one has to look at what they are doing at a particular moment. At times they are secret fraternity like the Masons, at other times they have more of the appearance of a revolutionary army, and at other times they look like the Mafia. They are all these things. And so they are a much more complex group to understand than some of the other secret societies that might fit into some nice label. Sometimes their services as hit men are hired out to others. Their heritage and history make them almost a sub-culture, and a sub-culture that is difficult for law enforcement agencies to penetrate. Their blood oaths and traditions bind them together.
    
    ORIGINS
    The White Lotus Society centuries ago amalgamated itself to the Hung Society which in turn changed into the Triad Society also known as the Three United Society. Some people continued calling it the Hung Society. The Hung Society had many local names, and like Freemasonry hid behind trade guilds.
    
    INFILTRATED THE BOXERS
    The Triads infiltrated the Boxers and even associated with them, but the Boxers lost against the foreign powers.
    
    SET UP BRANCHES IN THE UNITED STATES
    During the California gold rush days many Chinese began coming to America. Triad lodges sprang up in the chinese laundrymen of San Francisco. By 1854, the Triad Society called ‘Five Companies’ had 35,000 members in California. In the U.S. the Triad lodges became known as Tongs-which means a ‘hail’ or ‘meeting place.’ Whereever the Chinese lived they quietly set up Triad lodges so that soon there were lodges in Laramle, Cheyenne, Kansas City, Seattle, Vancouver, California, New York, Boston, and the Klondike. These overseas Triads came under the jurisdiction of the Hung Mun Society in Canton. This Triad group was in turn under Chi Kung Tong group. Groups got started in Australia and Malaya.

    TRIADS & HONG KONG
    When the British began ruling Hong Kong, the Hong Kong area already had a reputation for being a haven for pirates, and the Triads established lodges and began secretly to rule. In 1845, the British made membership in the Triads illegal, and in later years deported them back to communist China for those Triad members found. However, the Triads controlled things and the British never were able to enforce that iaw except for some scattered arrests. For instance in the 1970s, 35% of the police in Hong Kong were affiliated with the Triads. In fact, the Britishman Ernest Taffy’ Hunt, the Police Superintendent of the Thad Bureau of the Colony of Hong Kong was paid bribes for 18 years ranging from about $HK700,000 to $HK 12 per year starting in 1955. The Hong Kong papers every so often report police raids against the Triads, but one has to wonder how much is interrivalry between Triad groups and much is just for show, and how much is really something hurting the Triads.
    Under Triad control factories in Hong Kong have been turning out items for sex shops worldwide. The living conditions of areas under Triad control in Hong Kong were literal hells on earth. The Triads packed people in, the sanitation was negligible, the filth overwhelming, and the corruption of the human spirit complete. There is no question what kind of life the Triads want to bring people, total degeneration into total moral corruption and filth. Like the Masons (but to a much lesser degree) there have been a few Triad mutual aid societies for their own members, but in general these have been rare. The Triads have exacted extortion money from almost everyone in Hong Kong. The history of their extortions and threats etc. is many books long. In short, the whole trading economy of Hong Kong was under their power. And the Li family as now working with them. See the Li article in this issue. Various scandals over the decades have repeatedly shown that the Triads have totally infiltrated the Hong Kong government and police force. Where ever ethnic chinese were hired the Triads infiltrated. And then even many of the non-Chinese were bought off. People in Hong Kong who have watched the Triads do illegal acts right in public have frequentiy been frustrated by the lack of police response.
    
    THE TRIADS & CHINA
    Before the Communists took over, the Triads ran China. For instance, in 1917, it was discovered that the Triads along with the Vice-President of the Republic of China were stealing public funds to purchase opium to deal in the drug trade. The leaders of Free China have been Triad leaders. Many of them have also been Freemasons.
    After the Communists took over, the Triads had to go way underground. The communists never stopped the Triads, but they did make them much more secret. You may remember when the Tiananmen Square Massacre occured, the newspapers quietly reported that the Triads had smuggled the leaders of the democratic movement out of Red China. As was just said, the Communists have never broken the power of the Triads. In fact, not only has the brutal Red Chinese government been ineffective against the Triads, most of the police everywhere have been. The Triads are the most powerful criminal fraternal group in the world, except for the Illuminati and the families that make up the Illuminati’s Committee of 300. The Mafia is small peanuts compared to the Triads. The Triads are almost untouchable by any law enforcement group. For instance, in Great Britain the British do not have hardly any ethnic Chinese on their police force to even try infiltrating the Triads.
    The Triads have operated in the United States for over 100 years, and are major drug handiers working in cooperation with the Illuminati Kings, and most Americans do not even know they exist. And although America has ethnic chinese, Americans of Chinese descent do not speak the Chinese dialects that undercover agents would have to know to break into the Triad operations.
    
    DIFFERENT TRIAD GROUPS
    There are numerous Triad groups. By 1931, there were eight main Triad groups and they had divided Hong Kong up into geographic areas and ethnic groups that each was responsible to control. The eight main ones at that time were the Wo, the rung, the Tung, the Chuen, the Shing, the Fuk Yee Hing, the Yee On, and the Luen. Each had its own headquarters, its own sub-societies, and its own public covers. The Fuk Yee Hing’s cover was that it was registered as a benevolent society for workers. It had 12 branch offices and a membership of 10,000. Yee On’s cover was as the Yee On Commercial and Industrial Guild. The Wo operated as Death Gratuity associations. Any way each found some cover to hide behind. Most of the Martial Arts dubs were fronts or affiliations with the Triads, and continue to be, not only in Hong Kong, but to some degree in other countries too. As an example of how divided the Triad groups are--one of the large ones, the Wo Society was itself split into three major factions: Wo Shing Tong, Wo Yung Yee, and Wo Hop To, which for years struggled for domination of the Wo Society. By the late 1950s, there were 41 affiliated organaizations to the Wo Society Triad. Today the Wo Shing Wo is the most powerful of the Wo group Triads. One of the Triad groups that works with the Illuminati is the Sun Yee On aka Yee On Commercial and Industrial Guild. Sun Vee On was the prime controller of the Kowloon Walled City which produced sex toys for the international market. Besides the Wo Shing Wo and the Sun Yee On, the third great Triad societies of modern times is the 14K Society. Probably Chiang Kai-shek and his mentor Big-Eared Tu were responsible for setting up a league to oversee all the various Triad groups called Five Continents Overseas Chinese Hung League. This was set up in 1945, when the Chinese operated in Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Africa. As a side note on Tu, one of his friends was Charlie Soong (an office-bearer for the Triads) who had attended Vanderbilt Universisty at the expense of millionaire Julian S. Can. Chalie Soong’s daughter Al-lag had connections to Sun-Yat-Sen, and also became helpful to the Triads when she married Kung Hsiang-hsi a banker and businessman. The Kung banking empire along with the Soong’s veneer of Christianity which came from their Methodist Church membership helped this branch of Triads in their international dealings. Today in Hong Kong there may be as many as 60 different Triad Societies operating. The largest numerically is the Sun Yee On with 33,000 members. These 60 Societies can be classed into three different styles. The first is the traditional structure. The second type are those who are totally unstructured. The third type is the most dangerous, they are small, closely knit cells or central committees who plan out criminal activity with acute business-like efficiency.
    
    LARGE BASES OF TRIAD OPERATIONS
    Vancouver, B.C., San Francisco, New York, London, Manchestor, and Amsterdam (not to mention Macao and Hong Kong) are some of the big bases of Triad Operation. Money is made by extortion, gambling, prostitution, drugs, or any other way to make a profit. The Triads have worked with the CIA in creating the drug network. The creation of the Golden Triangle as a source for drugs was a joint CIA-Triad operation. The Chinese communists couldn’t pass up the opportunity to debauch America. The Red Chinese government has secretly worked with the Triads in supplying heroin and opium knowing that these drugs were going to U.S. military bases. U.S. garrisons in Germany were supplied high grade drugs that came through the Triads, either grown under Triad supervision or in places like Red China. One of the kingpins in this drug trade was Lumpy Ho, whose business fronts were known as the Dutch Connection. The corrupt police-officers that were Triad members that fled anti-corruption drives in Hong Kong would flee to Vancouver, B.C. where they have spent their efforts building that area up as a large Triad base of operations. Actually, they have branched out into Victoria and Seattle, WA. The Triads are known to have been operating in London since the 1890s, and may have been operating even before that. It wasn’t until the 1960. drug culture that the Triads began to catch more attention due to their large involvement in the drug trade. In 1971, the Triads introduced Pure No. 4 herein into England to replace the ‘Brown Sugar’ that the Rolling Stones sang about. In 1973, the British authorities moved against the Americans and British agents on the Drug Squad and forced some resignations. It is not exactly clear what the details of the whole mess were, but the process was that for 2 years there was essentially no coherent drug squad in London. Every locality in England where ethnic chinese are located, the Triads have some type of operation. This means all of the British cities. In Scotland and Ireland the different Triad groups have been fighting each other for control of the territory. No wonder the Illuminati like the Triads. The Li family with their connections controlling the Triads, have the perfect vehicle to operate the drug trade. If anyone dislikes the drug trade, their hate will directed to an ethnic group, rather than realizing who the real kings are. Most of the couriers for the Triads today are Europeans. And the Trade are using British banks now more than the Hong Kong banks. The British Parliament had a committee in 1985 to look at the Triads. They reported that the Triads posed no threat to the U.K. The Mafia had tried to maintain its position in the drugactivity, but the Mafia wasn’t in a position to buy directly from the prime sources. The Chiu Chau Triads had operated in Saigon and Vietnam during the Vietnam war bringing in drugs for the American soldiers. The Corsican syndicates (organized crime) had connections in Vietnam. They introduced the Mafia to the Triads. The Corsicans had been known as the French connection in the drug trade. They had worked with supplies coining from Turkey, through Lebanon, and then to Marseilles, France. Now the Triads ship Asian drugs to the U.S. via South America, and the Triads control the drug trade in New York City almost totally now. Dear in mind that the Triad leaders did this only after working out agreements with the top llluminati families. If the top Illuminati families were not cooperating, the Triads would be out of business. One of the strong-arm units ofa New York Triad group called Hip Sing Tong is the Flying Dragons. The On Lee Ong, another N.Y. triad group’ has the Ghost Shadows as their strong-arm unit. If one takes a city like Toronto, Canada there the population of Chinese and Vietnamese is 175,000 at least. This is a large pool of people from whith to build Triad lodges. There are 10 Triad Societies operating in Canada. In Australia, the Triad society Yee Hing Soctety with its charitable Mun Ji Dong has been listed as a “masonic charity” for 80 years. The Mun Ji Dong has decided to operate legally.
    
    PUBLIC CEREMONIES
    The Triads would publicly celebrate the Goddess of Mercy and the God of the Earth each year at a major festival where a bamboo bomb would be set off. At the 1982 Tin Hau Festival. two groups of the 14K Triad and 500 members of the Wo Shing Wo society openly wore Triad T-shirts at the festival. This was publicly breaking the law that prohibits the Triads from publicly advertising, but the Triads got away with it with impunity.
    
    ENFORCEMENT
    The Triads’ tradition weapons are the meat cleaver and a razor-sharp butchers knife which they use to slash people.
    
    THE TRIADS INTERFACE WITH MANY OTHER GROUPS
    Besides working with the CIA, the Mafia, who work for the Illuminati, and working with the Illuminati families themselves, the Triads work with street gangs, youth gangs, and any other organized crime group. They also have worked with all types of secret fraternal groups including the Freemasons. Historically speaking they have cooperated numerous times with other Chinese secret societies. The Triads also work with the Japanese organized crime group Yakusa, and the Filipino organized crime groups. The Ya.kusa also move drugs into the U.S. mainly via Hawaii. This is taking place with Yakusa/Triad cooperation. The Taiwan Triad Societies work closest with the Yakusa, especially the Four Seas and United Bamboo Societies.
    
    THE TRIADS IN BANKING
    The Triads have their own accountants, and so Triad financial operations are great for money laundering. Stolen credit cards and imitation merchandise that look., like the real stuff are also money makers for the Triad.,. The Triads also have their own lawyers, who are members of their societies. Besides making false Gucci handbags, the Triads are adept at forging passports. One of the items that the drug trade takes is gold, because the drug producers want to be paid in gold. This trafficing in gold must be watched by the Illuminati, because gold has always been an important commodity for the Satanic Hierarchy. It’s value to them goes beyond the monetary significance.
    
    IN SUMMARY
    The Triads are an occult fraternity which has developed into a major international organized crime society. It has many agreements with various families of the Illuminati, and works with them. The Li family is taking a big role somewhere with the Triads, but exactly what that role is I have not spelled out yet.
