Afghanistan is No 'Graveyard' for U.S.com/EU/NATO Axis of Domination
Some have asserted the U.S. empire has reached its historic endpoint because of its defeat in Afghanistan. However, that call is as premature as political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s proclamation that history had "ended" in 1989 when Western liberalism won because the former Soviet Union was coming apart.
Afghanistan might have been the so-called “graveyard of empires” and of certain states at other points in history. But the U.S. defeat in Afghanistan had occurred years earlier, a fact verified by revelations found in the “Afghanistan Papers.” That defeat had no appreciative impact on U.S. foreign-policy makers, who continued their destructive path in places like Yemen, Libya and Syria. Only a handful of the U.S. population was still interested in continuing a war in Afghanistan up until the last week or so. But the rulers did not inform the U.S. public, so the masses did not know the war had been lost.
{But the rulers did not inform the U.S. public, so the masses did not know the war had been lost.}
I will argue that the statement "Only a handful of the US population was still interested in continuing the war in Afghanistan up until the last week or so" is quite generous. I'll argue it plays right in with the 2nd highlighted above for the same reasons.
I didn't see any protest for the end of that war after the Afghan Papers came out! They came out and went under as fast as they could get them under a rug. They virtually got little response here in this group, and virtually no mention on the other political boards. It was like a wind storm the day they came out being blown over the minds of virtually everyone.
Only the few understand why. Why is a large part of the narrative of this group which seems to be nearly impossible to get people to break free from. MSCM. Why is in large part to the agenda that MSCM plays for those rulers. And the message our independent journalist, and me in this group, have been harping on hard since about 2016 is about how the MSCM is a tool of propagandized indoctrination that a vast majority of the US population has succumb to. No matter how many times you provide the evidence of how they are programed to program us, people return anyways to be pulled into their perception management. MSCM gives you just enough truth and orchestrated information to keep you trapped in their rabbit holes while deceiving you in the long run. Brilliantly designed for them by various groups and public relation firms that hand it down to us.
Desk jockey reporters like Rachel Maddow can bellow lies about Russiagate for years to deceive her followers, but for one moment of clarity she is falsely glorified as a journalist while a vast amount of the information she delivers to you is manufactured by propaganda groups you probably never heard of. You can apply this to any desk reporter you see on TV or hear on the radio. They didn't cover the Afghan Papers as a properly functioning Forth Estate, if they covered it at all. !They should have been the Afghan Papers more than a decade ago! They failed our society, and have been for decades. But our men and women, the innocent civilians abroad in the middle east however, weren't worth their time. That wouldn't have paid them their 7 and 8 figure incomes. You can't make that kind of money as a news reporters telling the whole story. One won't even be allowed on a program who would. Those who do are pushed far to the sides with the hope we never find them.
It took nearly 20 years for the hard, the right, questions to start being addressed. And yet the MSCM still doesn't deliver a proper rebuttal when they get a lame answer that correlates with the past answers. We're now being entertained with the possibility of more troops being sent in
20 years later----{This point is important because one of the lessons that should be taken from understanding that the United States had squandered $2 trillion, murdered 500,000 Afghans, sacrificed 2,300 U.S. service members from the U.S. working class and wounded over 20,000 U.S. military personnel is the public finally understands these wars only benefit the ruling class and have nothing to do with the interests of the vast majority of the people.}
Those 2300 should be no less considered as having been murderous also. You families of these men and women, of Iraq also, hold the power to demand justice and bring down the entire establishment of both parties. Heads should roll from Bush on up and within every party of representatives occupying a seat in DC from 2001 on. They willingly sent them off to make money off them in the stock market buying stock as they planned these wars out ahead of time! For fucks sake what does it take! We all obviously know Iraq was built on lies while they spent a year before on a glorifying the troops campaign for a war they knew was coming. Wesley Clark exposed all we need to know as evidence. If you want to support and glorify the troops, get them the hell out of this ruling class agenda of sacrifice for profit before they begin another major conflict.
“While all eyes are on Afghanistan, the United States continues its other wars of aggression across the world, claiming to “fight terrorism”—the same excuse it used to invade Afghanistan 20 years ago. Biden recently authorized air strikes on Somalia, more U.S. Special Forces recently have moved into the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the United States is continuing its mission to further destabilize the Horn of Africa by pushing for so-called "humanitarian intervention" in Ethiopia. That country has been added to the nearly 40 that are under some form of deadly U.S. sanctions that deprive countries of food, fuel, and medicine. Meanwhile, the United States remains entrenched in Iraq, reportedly expanding its Ain al-Asad base despite calls for its withdrawal. All this while it claims to be withdrawing its combat forces from Iraq. Over in Syria, the United States continues the destabilization effort, as well as stealing Syrian resources. Meanwhile, Haiti struggles to effectively respond to yet another natural disaster because of the more than a century’s worth of U.S.com/Western imperialist aggression.”
Sell off our children as pawns much
{After the devastating 2010 earthquake, billions of dollars flowed into Haiti to support reconstruction. Most of that money flowed right back out. More money went to the Washington Beltway and to the salaries and infrastructure of aid organizations than to reconstruction. Haitian organizations, and the Haitian state, were almost completely bypassed. In keeping with the nefarious logic of disaster capitalism, the so-called “poorest country in the hemisphere”—also known as “The Republic of NGOs”—made certain people rich. For example, the small local oligarchy, with properties to lease and businesses to serve foreigners, benefited. Meanwhile, the crisis in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake was used to cover imperialism’s expansion: The United States and the “Core Group” of Germany, Canada, Spain and a vassal state—Brazil—as well as the Organization of American States (OAS) were able to consolidate their power through the installation of neo-Duvalierist Michel Martelly and the Bald-Headed Party (PHTK).}
NGO's---non government organizations are ideologically groups funded with our tax dollars and ruling class donations who often work closely with the CIA to manufacture virtually all wars and conflicts worldwide. They are essentially owned by the ruling class working on behalf of the ruling class. They in turn use this money to fund foreign groups in other counties to oppose their democratically elected governments the west want to overthrow for their resources, and or citizen supported governments that don't align with western ideology agendas. See Africa above. I'm sure everyone has heard of Venezuela who has been a target of these entities for 2 decades now as a false manufactured campaign and sanctions has been destroying their economy that our MSCM falsely covers.
NGO's also play a large roll in manufacturing the false propaganda that MSCM is delivering to us. If don't have the right sources you won't know Venezuela has a highly better election process than the US. Election viewers have indicated Venezuela has what is probably the best elections process in the world. While they provide wifi to their citizens despite we're told they have no Internet services. That they have a more free press than the US does. Despite we're told the government owns and controls the press there. Approximately half their press is opposition controlled and half is left leaning.
{Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, mass incarceration in the United States, and illegal sanctions and corporate press agitation for more aggressive positions on China (simply because China is in the process of defeating Western capital at its own game) all demonstrate the repressive and lethal reality: The Pan-European colonial-capitalist white-supremacist patriarchy is not going to go away quietly. It must be decisively defeated if global humanity is to survive in a way that allows for the potential for real democracy and social justice. The work reflected in this newsletter reflects BAP’s commitment to that historic task.}
