Steve Batkin - Monday. 23.9.2019: The Evils Of The East India Company Are Still With Us Today! Queen Elizabeth 1: Wars, Threats, Theft, Cheap Labour. As the old adage goes: "Some things never change", and of course that's true today just as it was centuries ago. To be able to understand what's going on politically in Britain these days then there is no better way than studying the vicious antics of the old British East India Company. This company was the first stocks and shares company in Britain where the shares could be traded on a stock exchange (City), meaning a small section of London where the world's financial centre was and still is based. Queen Elizabeth1 granted a Royal charter for the company to operate in the trading of slaves, opium, rain forest trees, animal furs, saltpetre (gun powder), silk, cotton, tea, spices and just about anything that generated money! This later included taxing indigenous people within their own countries which the privately owned East India Company was operating and embedded for example in India; some shareholders were British but included shareholders from other countries as well particularly from banking dynasties. Although called the East India Company the company had links with many countries around the world. In those days the Rothschilds had not yet financed the construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt, so ships travelled down the West coast of Africa picking up slaves as they made their way to the Far East, China and India. If we take a look at British politics today then what's changed? Today cheap labour immigrants from abroad are not classed as slaves anymore in the same way indigenous British people are not classed as serfs but it's still a very similar thing! All major British political parties and media support cheap labour immigrants today in the same way historically they supported the massive privately owned East India Company and the slave trade: by the way the giant East India Company was very closely interlocked with the British Government with some Government politicians and bureaucrats having a vested interest in the company -- I don't think I need to say anymore!
