Sometimes I talk about things that are not cybersecurity or human rights. On June 2nd, come hear me talk about the Opium Wars--that time the British Empire fought the war on drugs, on the side of drugs.

@evacide that whole show looks amazing! Too bad I’m completely across the country!
Imagining there may be some mention of Richard Walmesley Blair, Sub-Deputy Opium Agent, Fourth Grade?
@MBridegam I may sneak him in there.

You mean Conrad didn't pull the name of the SS Patna out of thin air? Or that substituting opium for silver made Chinese tea cheaper, and created a nice pool of addicted customers?
Your talk sounds exciting. Wish I could attend.
