Dyer describes Hong Kong as a historical center for the global drug trade, established by the British to control opium distribution in China. He claims that major financial institutions, including the Vatican Bank and the Bank for International Settlements, serve as clearinghouses for drug money. The discussion notes the shift of opium production from the Golden Triangle to the Golden Crescent (Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan) as part of a global business empire.
