Israel Shamir – The Unz Review Aug 21, 2021
My congratulations, friends and readers! The Taliban’s victory is our victory, yours and mine. We, non-Muslim and non-Pashtun folk, in the US and Europe, may rejoice, for in Afghanistan, virile (not “toxic”) masculinity defeated gender-diversity, believers defeated those weak of faith, the morals of our fathers overcome the morals of our sons. This is the sheer joy of the Afghan victory; this victory of bearded men with arms over a gender-diversified butch-run hosts and their feminist NGOs is our victory, too. Do not be ashamed of being a manly man; stand tall! It is a breath of fresh air, this manly victory in the far-away mountains trod by Alexander the Great’s phalanxes; and it is much nicer to write about than usual stuff, especially after this time of being drip-fed by hypochondriac news of another elder succumbing to the dreadful virus, of green passports, of medical advice on how to live longer, of atoning for the misdeeds of our forefathers, of being of the wrong race and how to avoid microaggressions lest somebody will feel hurt. If we, men, would like to hurt somebody, we won’t stop at a joke, we’ll reach for an RPG.
The RPG rocket launcher, of the kind preferred by the Talibs, really hurts. It is not an imaginary feeling of discomfort, but a real hole in the armour. Or a torn-off head. There is nothing micro in its delivery. You do not need a mask on the battlefield for the mask won’t stop the launched rocket. You won’t worry about the virus when you encounter real bullets. On the battlefield, the problem of gender-neutral toilets does not arise. Twitter can’t ban a machinegun, but a machinegun can banish Twitter and the whole Twitter gang. The Taliban defeated Wokery; they aren’t afraid of being politically incorrect as we are. The Taliban aren’t afraid to worship God and to call upon Him, as we are. They aren’t afraid to stand for family values – they don’t even understand how it could be different.
The Taliban is a harbinger of real muscular democracy and freedom from Bill Gates, Greta Thunberg, Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi who all enslave us. They wouldn’t submit to this bunch; they would mete out revolutionary justice to those who want to deprive us of heating, who would blot out the Sun and suffocate us with their masks. A Trumper watches with envy as these rebels actually take the president palace instead of being accused of doing it on January 6.
These armed peasants reminded us that we still can change the world. It is not necessary to submit. All the rules of the game could be re-written; the whole game could be dumped. Normalcy, a traditional norm can be regained.
And it is a win-win thing: I, for one, do not think that America was defeated or that President Biden made a mistake. Far from it. Ending the occupation of a foreign land is a noble act. It was a real victory for Biden, victory over the Deep State, victory over Jewish Lobby. If it would be up to the Lobby, to the NY Times, to the CIA, the US would never ever leave Afghanistan. Read Bret Stephens in the New York Times (here is un-paywalled text), this is the authentic voice of the Lobby. Stephens, a Neocon and a son of Jewish parents (despite the assumed gentile last name), had been the editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post at the time of the Intifada and glorified the horrors of Israeli occupation. Stephens bewails the US “defeat” and claims the US should have stayed in Afghanistan forever. His best argument runs as follows: “But didn’t we have to leave Afghanistan sometime? So goes a counterargument. Yes, though we’ve been in Korea for 71 years, at far higher cost, and the world is better off for it.” Silly man! The world would be better without US troops in Korea; North and South would unite, and money spent there could pay for Americans’ education and health.
The Neocons, the masters of the Deep State, would never allow Trump to leave Afghanistan, as they derailed his meek attempts to leave Syria. Now Trump can criticize Biden for the Kabul airport ugly scenes, but to tell you truth, there is no nice way to leave, neither an occupied country, nor a woman you lived with for twenty years. If you decide to leave, be prepared for a lot of ugly nastiness. Withdrawal from Vietnam was also ugly, but it was a right decision then, and it is a right decision now.
Consider Auschwitz, definitely a harsh place. When the Germans had to leave, hundreds of Jews followed them westward (Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust writer, was among them). They were afraid of the Red Army coming to liberate them and preferred the Germans they knew. That’s why I am not amazed a lot of Afghans want to follow the US troops elsewhere: they are afraid of their liberators.
Things could be tough for all-too-eager supporters of the occupying regime. When the Nazis left France, many collaborators went to jail, some were lynched by the French patriots. But it does not mean it would be better to keep France occupied.
Biden was right to order the US to leave Afghanistan. He demonstrated much stamina in going against pleadings of his army, his intelligence services and the whole of the Deep State. I must admit that I have today much more respect for President Biden than I had before the withdrawal. I respect him even more for his excellent response to the British poodle. British statesmen complained about Biden’s decision to withdraw “after so much blood was shed there”. The UK could stay there in Afghanistan if they liked, Biden replied. They had this option, to stay. Just without American support. The US does not want to be the world’s policeman anymore.
Incidentally, the UK was the only NATO member that had the appetite for staying there, Johnson admitted. The opposition Labour party’s new boss Keir Starmer (who came to his position after Corbyn was hounded away by the smear of antisemitism) was as strongly against Biden as Johnson was. Well, Brits like wars. They pushed the unwilling US into WWI and WWII, and recently they tried to get some action at the sea of Crimea. It is good that Biden is not an easy guy to play; not as easy as Wilson and Roosevelt were.
Now there is a fighting chance that Biden will command and take the US troops from Iraq and Syria; and with some luck, from other countries, from Korea and the Philippines, or even from Germany and the UK. It would be very good for the American people; and perhaps we shall yet see Boris Johnson climbing on the roof of the Grosvenor Square building of the US Embassy in London to take the last helicopter flight out to an American aircraft carrier before the Brits put him up against the wall.

This is not to diminish the victory of Taliban. They achieved an unbelievable feat: in the course of a few days, they finished off the Twenty Year War. Yes, it’s good news: the long Afghan War is officially over and done with. It began in 2001 with the US invasion; it was over last Sunday, August 15, when the US protégé, the former President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, departed for the UAE with his four carloads of cash.
The Angel of History abided by the triple unity rules of classic drama: unity of action, unity of place and unity of time. In one day, power passed into the hands of the rebels – in Kandahar, and in Mazar-i-Sharif, and, finally, in Kabul. The apocalyptic expectations of the upcoming “battle for Kabul” didn’t materialise – the new government entered the presidential palace practically without a shot fired.
The most remarkable snapshot of this historic turn came on Monday. These weren’t fighters with bazookas or mujahedeen in the palace. These were Kabul girls going to school in the morning. In white kerchiefs, with backpacks, they, as usual, went to school.
Two days later, there was an even more remarkable video of a few female activists taking to the street to demonstrate with placards in front of the presidential palace. This is probably the clearest proof of their belief that they will not be interfered with. And indeed nobody bothered these ladies despite the plain silliness of their slogans in the midst of the momentous upheaval.
The topic of female discrimination in Afghanistan was inflated by feminists on the service of the US State Department, when it was necessary to justify the aggression and seizure of this independent country. It is unlikely that the status of a woman in Afghanistan differed greatly from that of a woman in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia – but nobody is in a hurry to land troops there. The alleged mistreatment of women and gays is often used by British and American hawks to justify “humanitarian interventions” and should be taken with a grain of salt. And the invasive Western LGBT discourse does not seem normal – not only for Afghans. Men love women, don’t believe lying butches, sister!
Sex ethics could be weird, in Afghanistan as well as in England. The Talibs ask ladies to cover their hair, just like Orthodox Jews and to behave modestly. The West hatched the absurdity of mutually non-consensual sex; 28 per cent of young women come to believe that winking ‘usually or always’ constitutes sexual harassment (read about it here); it beats Taliban anytime. Some of Taliban’s ideas are indeed odd; but not as odd as the scourging of Prince Andrew on a word of an aged trollop in the UK/US.
Life in Afghanistan will still improve for women and men, and it will be better than under the puppet regime, Afghans hope. It is Take Two for the Taliban, and both times they came to power practically without encountering resistance, a clear sign of popular support.
The Taliban came into being in early 1990s, after the pro-Soviet government of Najibullah (many Afghans now say that he was the best ruler of the country in the 20th century) had been overthrown by the CIA-sponsored mujahedeen. At the time, lawlessness reigned in the country. Each warlord considered himself a king. Against this background, the Taliban emerged as a grassroots movement for honesty, law and order, against the lawlessness of the warlords. They managed to win in 1996, without bloodshed, triumphantly entering Kabul. They stopped drug production and trade and practically eliminated the scourge. This was their undoing. The CIA wouldn’t allow meddling with drug supplies, for they wanted to keep the Americans in a narcotic-induced dream.
Afghanistan was placed under creeping sanctions; the poor country was even more impoverished; the northern tribes rebelled, and then the American invasion overthrew the Taliban so it would return to power 20 years later. During this time, Afghanistan has changed; Kabul has grown to become a city with four million inhabitants. But there still was no order; warlords and large drug producers still ruled freely, robbing villagers at will.
The original support base of the Taliban were the village Pashtuns, who generally wanted very little from the state: they wanted order, functioning customary law, or Islamic law, no interference with their private lives, and preferably no taxation at all. (Here is an excellent background piece by Anatol Lieven) Now as the big cities come under Taliban rule, they will have to show more flexibility. In cities with a population of over one million, customary law does not always work. But the Taliban also learned a lot. It is hoped that they will be able to find a compromise between the village and the city, bearing in mind the fact that the weapons are in the hands of the villagers.
This confrontation of city and village reminds us of Mao’s revolution and of the Khmer Rouge takeover in Cambodia. But the world is different today. The Western way of life is hardly attractive now; the progress entered an impasse of gender madness, corona lockdowns, critical race theory and digital totalitarianism. Even the great crime of Taliban pre-2001, the destruction of ancient monuments, has been repeated by the US and British progressives from Atlanta to London. Perhaps the Afghans will be able to figure out how to proceed. Every nation is a great architect of its future. And over the past 200 years of constant incursions, Afghans have had little chance of figuring out what they really need.
An important new factor is a powerful China, which needs Afghan transit. The British and Americans did not need to transit through Afghanistan; they dominate the sea. But in the old days, before the European arrival, caravan routes went through Afghanistan. Maybe traffic flows will start again, Iran’s oil will flow to China, trade with the north through former Soviet Central Asia will resume, and a corridor to India will be open. Russian geological prospecting has discovered huge reserves of rare earth elements in the mountains of Afghanistan, and their development could re-link Russia and China with Afghanistan.

In Kabul, the people awaited the Taliban entry with great trepidation. However, the Taliban didn’t interfere with the evacuation; when President Biden asked for their permission, they immediately gave the go-ahead. But in general, there was no need to rush the planes.
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced they reached an agreement with the Taliban that Russian civilian airlines will fly out everybody who has a place to go to. Alas, there is no place on earth that would like to accept so many Afghan refugees. People should stay home and make peace with their countrymen; if they have committed crimes, they should pay for these crimes. However, the Taliban issued a general amnesty, and hopefully they will stick to this humane and merciful course.
In Kabul itself, as in other cities, the first days of the new government passed calmly. The Taliban replaced soldiers at their embassy posts and promised that not a single hair would fall from the heads of diplomats. At the Russian embassy, diplomats said that it is even safer now than it was under the old regime.
The Taliban statements are also reassuring. They promised that there would be no revenge. Women can continue working without having to dress in a strict traditional style. Indeed, in the first few days of the new Afghanistan, these promises were kept.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that we need to wait and see how things will develop in Afghanistan, although his first impressions are favourable: “We are observing positive processes on the streets of Kabul, where the situation is quite calm and the Taliban are effectively enforcing law and order.” The Russian ambassador to the UN also expressed cautious optimism at the Security Council meeting. “You shouldn’t give in to panic. It is important that we managed to avoid mass bloodshed among the civilian population, ” he said. The Russian president’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Kabulov, also assessed the turn of events positively. “The Taliban have long seemed to me much more reliable than the puppet Kabul government,” he said.
The Taliban’s first steps in law making were encouraging, too. The Taliban have banned blood feuds, the long-standing scourge of Afghanistan. They say they will be guided by Sharia law – which may seem like a nightmare to our secular readers, but this is a much more merciful alternative to the Pashtunwali tribal law. Pashtunwali approves of blood feuds; according to Sharia, it is prohibited. Referring to Sharia law, the Taliban banned the distribution and use of drugs, which was the main occupation of Afghans under American occupation. They also banned the local custom of bacha bazi, the homosexual exploitation of boys. They banned witchcraft and interest-bearing loans, and even cancelled all debts, something we all can learn from. Let’s see what of this will be implemented and what will remain an empty promise.
A real and present danger would be any attempt of the Western forces to come back and meddle in Afghanistan. There are many warmongers; guys like John Bolton always want more war. Ahmad Massoud, a son of the Northern warlord has already asked for arms to keep fighting the Taliban. He had met with BHL (Bernard-Henri Lévy), the French-Jewish master of discourse who always comes before the storm.
That’s why President Putin, at his press-conference after meeting with Frau Merkel said, “It’s not in our interests right now to talk about US failure. We are interested in the situation in the country being stable.” Vladimir Putin has demanded that countries not interfere in Afghanistan after the liberation of Kabul, saying the West “must stop the irresponsible policy of imposing foreign values from abroad”. And that is probably a very good point.

What a load of bunk.
From the “Christian jew” who lives in Israel.
What preposterous nonsense.
It tells us how bad things in the west have become when a Taliban ruled nation appears a more attractive alternative to the leftist nightmare we are being forced to endure in our once free lands.
That comment about the british liking wars is just plain wrong. My congratualtions on getting your country back from the scum that own and control everything, but britain is still under the yoke. Don’t confuse the fascists that control britain with the entire british population. The british people want out from under too. But they don’t have any guns to do it, nor any guts to push it through if they did. Britain has always been a slave pen, and it always will be.
I hate the Taliban; we did all that until 700 years ago, and we never fought them. We tip-toed around making sure to never hurt the precious non-Whites. Monotheists are pure ego, and half the world has been guilty of it for too long. Counter-intuitively, perhaps, the trans movement is the same thing and leads to boy-rape, which the West Asians, especially Afghans, already have. People need taking back to the drawing board, whereas a Shamir is clueless.
In Europe there are protests because people are limited in their right to buy, to go out to have a drink or dope and to travel freely and party at some dance event.
That ALL nations on the globe are in a permanent state of (pandemic)Martial Law is something the ignorant public in the West still have not fully realised yet, after 2 years. They still think it will all go away with a bit of peaceful protesting. Not in the CityofLondon of course, that would upset the crime masters, but in front of a BBC studio.. that will teach them!
@ british
same characteristic for us germans.
everything else was evil jewish hatred
+ propaganda against us !
“Twitter can’t ban a machinegun, but a machinegun can banish Twitter and the whole Twitter gang.”
I like that. I’ve written many letters to Santa Claus asking him for more machine guns and Rocket Propelled Grenades. Jesus is just too fucking slow! Besides, as soon as he goes against the narrative, they’ll just crucify him again. I don’t think he has any cheeks left by now anyway… LOL
If I had a rocket launcher, the Ratchild would fry!

It’s nine o’clock in Afghanistan
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sitting next to me
Makin’ love to his Koran and gin
He says: ‘ son can you play me some misery?’
I’m certain you know how it goes
It’s sad and not sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s robes
Allah La-la lah-dee-dah
Allah La-la lah-dee-dah
Sing us a song you’re the Taliban
Sing us a song tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for disharmony
And you’ve got us feeling uptight…
Forgive me for that.
1. Are the English in control of england . 2. Do the French control France. 3. Are Germans in control of Germany. If you answer yes to any of the aforementioned questions, you are more than likely mentally sick .
British,
It would be brilliant if Fascists lead (not controlled) Britain . We could be living in an altogether Utopia if the Fascists had come to lead Britain in the 1930’s and kicked out the jew bolsheviks that have destroyed our country.
Here is an excellent book to read to understand what real Fascism, not the Hollywood caricature version, was really about:
https://archive.org/details/fascism-100-questions-asked-and-answered-oswald-mosley_202010
Every point that Adam makes could be 100% correct. Conversely every point could be false. A mix of the two……of course. My problem is the targeting of Jews or Israel……..they control EVERYTHING shouts the alternative media, as eyes gaze away from any other possible power player. Yes money rules, and doubtless there are some very rich Jews around the world, but I would suggest that all branches connected with the Knights Templar really rule the roost, and they most certainly are not all Jewish. To imagine that Putin and Xi are somehow independent of this control system is extremely naive. Ditto Kim Jon Il. Mr Global Citizen is in a very hidden war against him, and I believe it will take God’s intervention to stop that war and reveal the truth.
Someone should inform this Israel Shamir guy that the Pentagon/CIA created, funds & arms the Taliban..After the Zionists defeated their real enemies in WWII (Nazism/Fascism) & became the sole rulers of the world in 1945, they then must create fake enemies, to conceal the reality of their power & global governance..
I find this author’s love for our illegitimate President Biden very disturbing and so should you.
LOL. The BBC. What a bunch of xxxxx. If anyone in britain – anyone at all – had balls, they’d burn that place to the ground. What makes me laugh is the way that the rest of the world still seems to think that the BBC are some kind of fount of truth. God only knows where they got that idea from. Presumably the same place that they get the idea that britain is full of lovely victorian ladies and gentlemen going around being benevolent. History has a lot to answer for. I’ve been forced to live in britain my entire life, and I’ve never seen nor heard of anything even remotely resembling a lady or a gentleman.
I do my best on my Blog to help people see the world in its proper context but it seems that this web site has a different agenda. Articles such as this one are not for the red pilled at all but to deceive the blue pilled and keep them believing lies. If you are reading this comment then I hope you are wise enough to realize that this article is nothing but disinformation for blue pilled idiots to believe. Here is the way the red pilled should view Afghanistan:
https://strangerinajewishworld.blogspot.com/2021/08/afghanistan-for-red-pilled.html
Afghanistan is just a meaningless purposely created distraction. Keep your eyes on the world wide push to get the Jewish Jab into very man, woman and child on the planet. That is where your attention and focus should be.

Someone’s been reading Andrew Anglin / The Daily Stormer. He could have at least mentioned it. Check out the site. You tell me. https://dailystormer.su/
It is with the Taliban, as with the jabs
We shall have to wait for the Big movements.
But it’s difficult to be optimistic these days.
In wiew of covid1984, the west has been nothing but a downward slope.
Why?
Many here preaches racism like the Zionists, and to a certain extent I agree in limited immigration.
But we have abandoned traditional religious values and allowed abortion and female priests, and are now reaping the harvest.
That would have stopped mass migration.
And who wants mass migration?
The super-rich, who controls the left.
The Purse, and the masses.
The Taliban is mostly all Jewish, and the history shows just who this arose. Go into the rabbit hole of the “Abram” faiths and it is a total fraud for power, wealth, access and control. These are heathen beliefs as there is no written word of god but is a sound that the most ancient of civilizations have and is in part of the vocabulary of their deities (Y”HW”H, A”HU”RA MAZDA, YS”HW”H or Yes”hu”a and even in the pronunciation of Allah, Buddha, …) as it is a Breath (inhale and exhale the Holy Sprit into all creation giving it life.
Just as Adam Pearlman became Gadahan. a “leader” of the ISIS/Taliban, an orthodox Jew whose grandfather was head of the ADL the #3 man of ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) and was always #3, the Taliban, like Al Qaeda (Al Cia Duh i.e the Group)was created by Zbig in the summer of 1979 and talking points from the University of Nebraska Omaha Afghan Studies program from USAID NGO groups who funded it (Slate Magazine has the entire story with pictures of these freedom fighters in the White House meeting with Ronald Reagan who called them exactly that) this piece is just the same as the misinformation of the Young Turks, Jewish Subversives, who slaughtered Christians in Armenia and Greece. It’s the same story in Babylon, Persia (Cyrus after taking Babylon let them have freedom and Darius, son of Cyrus called them the people that lie in a stone monument that stands today and hence the false captivity garbage). Tacitus minces no words in describing the Judeans the same way that Carthage was before both were crushed into the ground for acts of perversion that far surpassed even that of Caligula.
Who owns and runs Big Pharma? Who started their methods based on germ theory which was a fraud (Pfizer, Moderna, Lilly, J&J, GSK, Sanofi Pasteur). Fritz Haber: Jewish chemist whose work led to Zyklon B and the owner of the company will astound you. David Cole was at least brave enough to know the facts and provide them when he could. Bobby Fischer never backed down and neither did Benjamin Freedman who was a planner of WWI and expose everything in what was done and who was involved.
I’ve translated the Protocols from Cyrillic and it states the start, who was involved, the group that started the Jewish Nationalist organization of Zionism from the 1600s and I have downloaded the book “The History of Zionism 1600-1918” by Nahum Sokolow and that is correct. From Moses Maimonides and Zohar, Baruch Spinoza, the Haskalah (1800-1900) and contacts as well as pictures from the 1922 version of the massacre of the Russian aristocracy and group photo, this group is of the Orthodoxy that wrote the Talmud and Kabbalah, man made rule enforced just like the Temple Knights of St. John and all of their organizations.
Benjamin Freedman exposes Kol Nidre as a reason to kill the “animals” on the earth. The details can be read, as Freedman says at http://fpp.co.uk/BoD/origins/Kol_Nidre_debate.html.
IMHO, any group claiming to have the written word of the creator is a fraud. Do some searching down this rabbit hole and one finds out why the Egyptian and Indus Valley motif are at the top of all their architecture. The Temple Knights that came out of Jerusalem found what the foundation of all of the history comes from, hence, the Pyriamid of which can be found in every continent on earth. The monolith is nothing more than the inversion of a later time of the worship of intercourse. The holy of holies is of this construct and Jordan Maxwell does an excellent job of describing it. We have been killing each other for thousands of years over total idiocy, the love of money (gold and silver from earlier times) the ownership of the creation of money and it’s obvious deterioration of civilization through deception and usury, and the death of life through the manufactured concept of Admiralty law of which all people now exist and not the law of the land or Common Law (Law of the people).
Those who hoard and do not share with creation as can be found in the 42 commandments of the Book of the Dead far older than Moses (a manufactured construct or allegorical character), are guilty of making money off the population, arming the masses and false flags and depraved leadership.
The Taliban is an accumulation of the US CIA and Pentagram, Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (Mossad), KGB, Chinese Ministry of Intelligence and one can go on to almost every tier 1 country which killing is their business. All use religion of the occult to further their own agendas, line their own pockets, destroy what was good, plunder life itself for more profit and ignore those that are the salt of the earth and the innocent who have no voice in the massive death trap we have devised but do not recognize.
Quote: Even the great crime of Taliban pre-2001, the destruction of ancient monuments ??
OMG … We have as well Talibans in the US destroying & pulling down statues ??
Now O at the bar is a friend of mine
He writes a good song parody
And he’s quick with a joke, or to light up your toke
But there’s some song that he’d rather sing
He says, “Volt, I believe this is killing me”
As the words fall away from the page
“Well I’m sure that I could be a rock star
If I could get out of this place”
Allah La-la lah-dee-dah
Allah La-la lah-dee-dah
Abdul is a real estate terrorist
The kind you don’t want to offend
And he’s talkin’ with Haji, whose real name is Wali
About business they have to attend
And the hostess is hiding her crucifix
As the infidels slowly get stoned
Yes, they’re grabbing a plane they can barely hang on
But it’s better than crying alone
Sing us a song, you’re the Taliban
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a victory
And you’ve got us feeling alright
There’s a pretty good crowd on the runway
And the planes are too loaded to fly
And it pains them to see they were left there to flee
And there’s no one to tell them goodbye
The capital sounds like a carnival
And the president smells like a beer
He just stands at the bar, whispers into your ear:
Come on Man, what are you doin’ here?”
Voltman Plutonymus Rex & The Talibandito Boogeyman Band
I read this repellent article with tongue firmly in cheek, as unfortunately, it appears to be written with the twisted bearing of a snake bent on crack. For Afghanistan, see Western backed ethnic supremacy, for the Taliban, see the harbingers of it’s realization.
Lacuna – “poppy cultivation and harvesting were to be assured.”
My post above wasn’t meant to stand in isolated abstraction. I wrote a lengthier earlier post, which seems to have been lost to cyber space but may yet pop up non-sequentially. It’s too late to attempt to rewrite it though so I’ll just wish you all goodnight.
Even by Israel Shamir’s standard of investigative journalism, this article is incautious and superficial. To suppose a finality to American involvement in Afghanistan, amounting to a sudden reversal in U.S. foreign policy orthodoxy over the last seventy years, seems implausibly naive from such an experienced political analyst. An unusual optimism informs the narrative here which is inadequate in its consideration of any potential permutations of events (either intentionally construed or proceeding as unintentional consequences) beyond the immediately given facts.
The U.S. would not permit a situation to proceed that would leave Israel more vulnerable to its hostile neighbours. It is therefore more probable that the U.S. withdrawal was negotiated upon terms and isn’t a unilateral disengagement. If this is so, then we as yet lack sufficient information to penetrate into the covert gaming afoot.
The C.I.A. would not so readily abandon one of its most lucrative sources of tax-exempt revenue, the Afghani opium poppy. The continuance of the production of the cash-crop would have needs been bargained with the Taliban. As unlikely as it seems, the Taliban may have surrendered sovereignty over the poppy fields to allow the continued commercial harvesting of opium by western agency. Thierry Meyssan, in a considerably more savvy article, “Seven Lies About Afghanistan” (also among today’s features at the truthseeker uk,) points out that the number of active mercenaries deployed within the immediate vicinity of Afghanistan’s national borders has incremented. There hasn’t been a comcomitant reduction in the privateering soldiery of the type supplied by GS4 and commanded by Blackrock in Iraq. A good question is – what is Blackrock’s position regarding American “withdrawal”? Has there even been a response from Blackrock executives to events in Afghanistan? If there has, I missed it. This aggressively-inclined multinational corporation, endowed of its own paramilitary forces, will ensure the continuance of American commercial interests in Afghanistan. Indeed, Blackrock would have been involved with planning the new strategem for Afghanistan, where western commercial interests, including the illicit intelligence service profiteering from poppy cultivation and harvesting were to be assured. Its presence within Afghanistan seems very likely in the near future but could not come about without Taliban consent. Perhaps the U.S. negotiated for Blackrock’s intervention in selected regions to ensure the continuance of American commercial interests. Supranational armies, unrestricted by democratic controls, would not so meekly surrender up jurisdiction in the manner of the American armed forces. Mercenary armies directed from a boardroom are not bound by rules of war and will be tasked with to engaging arms against any group seeking to impede or bring opposition to the expropriation of Afghanistan’s riches by foreign trading interests. This is just a guess as to how the situation might develop, with U.S. and Israeli business interests safeguarded by what is the biggest mercenary army in the world, availed of the world’s most sophisticated weaponry and U.S. regulars redeployed to active service elsewhere, possibly ranged against Iran.
Biden appointed dual nationals to every office of state in the United States and it’s inconceivable that the decision to retire American forces from Afghanistan was made without the close participation of Israeli strategists, nor the consent and approval of the Israeli Americans who have unprecedented governmental reach in contemporary America and have been mustered to advance the Israeli cause by subhuming all executive power in the U.S. to zionist interests. I guess we’ll see what we see. Evidence will inevitably emerge to explain quite how it is, that Israel is so confident of successfully manoeuvring strategic advantage from an apparently catastrophic strategic set-back.
I would like to meet a pederast female priest.
Slowly but surely, the scenario predicted by the Fatima prophecy of 1917 is unfolding before our very eyes. I myself never imagined that the “errors of Russia” would spread to the United States under the guise of “political correctness”, but it’s happened. The neo-Bolsheviks have even succeeded in hijacking the American presidency!
Only this prayer will bring lasting peace:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth.
Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war.
May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate.
Amen.”
FYI: exactly ten years before communism came to an end in Eastern Europe in 1989, Pope John-Paul II made the following invocation during an outdoor Mass in Warsaw (June 2nd 1979):
“And I cry — I who am a Son of the land of Poland and who am also Pope John Paul II — I cry from all the depths of this Millennium, I cry on the vigil of Pentecost:
Let your Spirit descend.
Let your Spirit descend,
and renew the face of the earth,
the face of this land.
Amen.”
@Voltman
You’re killing me! : )
Thanks!
@Voltman and @O,
Both of you are killing me!. This is how we can start a world war. By insulting people whom you disagree and or do not share your same value. Way to go master race…
