The Elites Global Revolution....

There is a Global Revolution going on, but it's not being carried out by the populace...

By Dark Politricks

I have just had my summer holiday, an almost month stay in the local hospital for a flesh eating bug, they had to cut half my thigh out to get rid of. I would post the pic but I am sure Google would block it or ban me as Facebook blocked the photo under its TOS due to "Graphic Violence". So I will leave it to your imaginations.

Whilst I was in hospital we passed the 2 decade anniversary of 9.11. I don't see many people online anymore talking about it, maybe they all got owned, bored at being ignored, or taken out in some way. 

Maybe Googles algorithms just put any alternative theories at the bottom of their search results lists when you do a search for it now - not that anyone should be using Google for searching anymore. Use my search bar at the top of the screen (uses JavaScript - so down Brave Shields and don't be scared by cookies, they won't eat you!) or just go to https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=005138288515408039386:xatdxpwn9on#gsc.tab=0 which is the search engine in its own window, you should be able to tell it's mine by my logo to the left of it.

The only time I use it is when I am on my phone and I want a quick answer to something, open Google, "What is the Man City Leicester score" etc, and you get a nice electronic female voice reading back the answer.

If you want some alternatives apart from using the dark web, and the TOR Browser, or BRAVES incognito window set to TOR, then use Duckduckgo.com or Startpage.com, and remember to use a VPN if possible at all times. A lot of anti-virus tools and browsers are actually implementing their own VPN network into their browsers, at a cost of course. However it maybe cheaper than hanging around for a free ProtonVPN connection.

Even if you are on TOR, I had to use OrBot on my phone just to get around the hospitals WiFi policy on gambling sites whilst locked up and bored on the ward. There are free ones like Opera's built in VPN but it acts more like a Proxy service where there are multiple servers in 3 locations around the world (US, Europe and Asia), that you are just passed through. What information Opera collect on you as you hit them I have no idea. There is more information on this article I wrote.

Anyway back to 9.11, it's 20 years and people seem to have forgotten what a sorry state of a world we now live in. Talk about boiling a frog in cold water and turning the heat up slightly bit by bit.

No longer can we in the west proudly shout out "we live in a free society", as it is blatantly obvious we don't and 9.11 was one major part in making it that way, the COVID pandemic, and the Governments overreach of powers, locking people up, closing down jobs and telling us we cannot go here or there without being fined, this has been another nail in the coffin.of our freedoms and liberties.

Whether you live in the US or the UK the place is the same, since 9.11 and the implementation of security laws and a national security state that allowed for the spying on citizens, unwarranted search and seizure, lack of due process and the constant attack on journalists and whistle-blowers such as Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, who have brought such news to our attention that the Government had been lying to us, spying on us, committing war crimes, committing election fraud and many other facts that they should be lauded as heroes for, rather than being expelled or locked up.. No wonder people are just scared even talking about the police state we now live in.

In this article I wrote last year about the UK's COVID laws I warned people that they would forget about them. That they were supposed to ONLY stay on our law books for 2 years

In a few months those 2 years will have passed and Boris Johnson has already asked for an extension of the act that gives him too much power over us. I said then that:

"If no-one else is going to remind you of these laws and the unintended consequences of letting the Police run wild without the support for those MILLIONS affected by their acts being implemented. Then I will until the day I am booted."

And I will, as it seems many of you in this country have forgotten already. 

Do you want to become like the USA, with their post 9.11 laws such as the PATRIOT ACT and the NDAA that are supposed to be voted on to keep them on the books and yet still are for some reason. 

This is despite the fact the only terrorists the USA has to fear are the fake domestic ones the FBI are creating all the time to pretend their country in on the precipice of ethnic violence and white extremism.

It reminds me of Mossad, and all the fake al-Qaeda cells they used to create and then destroy to prove to their people they were constantly under attack and needed more US military equipment and money in their war against al-Qaeda. This is a group we both blame for 9.11 yet aided in the Serbian war with the KLA. We basically created and funded them in the 80's to fight the Russian's and have been using them again in Syria to fight President Assad. I get confused to whether they are supposed to be an enemy or an ally in the official narrative which should never be believed,

Do you remember George W Bush, just days after 9.11, saying in NYC, "They attacked us because they hate us for our freedoms", as if that was the main reason for the attack? Well I do.

Well if that really was the reason George, then the terrorists won the war within a few months of the attack

In fact they won it for as long as it took for you to implement the PATRIOT ACT, NDAA and the AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) of 2001, which gave the President, Authorization for Use of Military Force the authority to use all "necessary and appropriate force" against those whom he determined "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the September 11 attacks, or who harboured said persons or groups. Basically being able to kill by drone innocent people abroad, just as Biden did recently with the US Aid worker they called an ISIS K agent.

These laws also came with all the horrible bits such as the torture and extraordinary rendition programme to black site prisons, drone strikes that killed more civilians than enemy combatants, the running out of bombs during Obama's time as "the change" President, when attacking Syria, and the National Security Letters which if given to you prevented you from even telling your family that you had one. Only a few lawyers exist in the US who could professionally defend you, if you were handed one. Edward Snowden's encrypted email host.was given one, and rather than put in a backdoor so the NSA could see his unencrypted emails he closed his company down and went public.

It's good to know there are still a few good men out there willing to sacrifice their own freedoms and income to the right thing,

So basically after the 9.11 attacks, the US people all said, "protect us, we are scared, take our liberties", and the Government went "Yes thank you and you will not be getting them back", and it seems that way 20 years on with all those laws still in place. Of course there were then major attacks in the UK, Spain and across Europe that gave their governments the same excuse to implement similar anti-liberty laws.

So if the US has now supposedly killed bin-Laden, and we have run from Afghanistan and made friends again with the Talibanafter just arming them with billions of dollars worth of equipment they left at Bagram airbase. Plus the US and Israel are actually protecting ISIS in Syria from Russia and Syria finishing them off. 

Then if that is the case then who and what are these laws required for as the war on terror seems to be over?

The FBI cannot keep creating fake domestic terror cells up just to justify their existence and try and prove their is a real threat at home, and the American army has been shown for what is really is, a money for contracts grift. Where the only reason the US was in Afghanistan for the longest war they have ever fought was so that companies like Raytheon could make money from selling weapons to the US DOD. 

Oh what a world of wonder a true capitalist society like the USA is, where everything including people's lives are up for grabs if it makes someone money. 

Big pharma trying to push up the price of life saving drugs such as EpiPens and now for COVID vaccines with already calls to push countries to force their populations to get a 3rd shot, despite all the evidence that in even highly vaccinated populations, like in Israel which has a high population fully vaccinated, the virus is still spreading and killing people.

However the vaccinations have not seemed to do anything to stop the spread of the virus. People in Australia who have implemented the most draconian lockdown laws with people not allowed to walk outside and talk to other, police shooting dogs, massive lockdown protest riots against them and the Government even issuing an app for people who stray too far from their homes to take a photo of themselves that is geo-ip linked and sent to the Government to see if they have broken their COVID curfews or strayed too far from their home.


To top it all it seems that the more vaccinated a population gets the higher the death toll. I don't know about these figures in these graphs, but if true they don't really give those people holding out on getting a vaccine much of a push to do so > https://stateofthenation.co/?p=65459

Anyway I have rattled on long enough now, I wanted my first post back in my office chair to be short and sweet but then, nothing ever is. 

I had just watched a video on YouTube from one of my favourite National Security State investigators Richard Dolan, which inspired me to get up and write this article as it goes with his video.

Watch it if you want, it is perfectly tied to my own article from 9.11 to COVID.

Please leave a comment in the boxes below about anything you feel about the over-reach of western Governments during this pandemic, the lack of any real safety by having the vaccine, and the protests around the world by people fed up by their countries liberty killing lockdown laws.

Anonymous users should be able to now, as well as anyone without a Google Account. They always used to be able to but I think Goole switched it back to "only people with Google Accounts" when I wasn't looking. More tracking of you by the private industries that work hand in hand with the Governments that are controlled by the top people who run this show I guess.

Can we just leave Afghanistan alone for a hundred years at least now?

The Taliban Retake Afghanistan in 4 days after the US military pack up and leave.


By Dark Politricks

I guess the Taliban are now the worlds best equipped army with American weapons apart from the US, considering the American army just left Bagram Airbase full of stock, leaving everything behind as they left, forgetting to tell the Afghan army they had trained, that they were leaving.


Then within days, the Taliban moved on the base and took over billions of dollars worth of weapons, guns, rocket launchers, helicopters and Humvee's as the Afghan army forgot they were supposed to be fighting them and instead handed everything over and decided to join them on their march to Kabul.



I think the US really needs to plan their exit strategy better next time so they don't end up making a rag tag army of locals into a well equipped modern army that could take most countries on.

Do any of the Taliban know how to fly a helicopter though?

I suppose it doesn't matter, the Afghan Army, who the US paid billions of tax payers $$ to train, will show them how to.

Biden said recently that Kabul would not fall because the Afghan army was 300,000 strong, and the best trained and equipped as any in the world.

Shame nearly all of them just laid down their weapons to the oncoming Taliban and joined them.

f

Can you imagine if the Taliban decided they were really pissed at getting invaded all the time Russia->War Lords->US/UK/NATO and going all the way back to Alexander the Great and they went on the offensive with all their free US military hardware?

From their point of view, an invader is another invader, they have had lots over the years. Everyone just wants to bomb their weddings and blow up their homes and piss on their Korans and cause outrage around the world.

It is sad that the women will be forced back into cloth bags and 12yr old girls will be married off though.

Lets just hope they don't start blowing up more Buddhist statues and shooting people in football stadiums as they used to just before the US invaded them after 9.11, chasing shadows, and a man who was probably already dead if truly on kidney dialysis as was claimed.

In 2002 Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease and had two dialysis systems shipped to Afghanistan when he lived there.

I really don't understand if he was on dialysis how he managed to traverse the mountains of Afghanistan holding a drip behind him. Who knows, maybe like Saddam Hussein he could have had many doppelgangers. The photos the US showed just before every election with new speeches from bin-Laden as his hair got darker and his nose got fatter sure do seem to tell that story.





Of course all the propaganda pushed by the CIA, of bin-Laden liking porn videos and having a micro penis, were all designed to inflame the Muslim population and make him a laughing stock back home.

If only those SEAL Team 6 soldiers had turned their cameras on their helmets on when they killed bin-Laden in Pakistan. A man whose neighbour claimed on TV the very next day but never to be heard of again was NOT bin-Laden, if only they could have taken a photo of him BEFORE they shot him.

That was the US excuse for not showing a photo, it was too bloody, but as all the SEAL TEAM 6 had camera's on their helmets they should have been able to take a photo before they killed him for the world to see.

I guess it was just unlucky that all their cameras failed to work at the same time, and then 22 SEALs from the elite ‘Team Six’ unit that killed Osama bin Laden lost their lives to a "lucky shot" by RPG's fired by the Taliban. I doubt it was any kind of message to "shut you mouth" to the rest of SEAL TEAM 6 of course, that would just be conspiracy madness.....

However compare the capture and parading around of Saddam Hussein, and even the videoing of him being hanged that snuck out, to the no pics, killing of a man who was supposedly the evil mastermind behind 9.11. Osama bin-Laden, who was just tossed in the sea despite Saudi Arabia saying they would take his body.

This master of evil behind the war on terror, who Obama said had to be killed before the war would end however was not the finishing point of the pointless war. Once he was killed, did the war end. No it just moved around the globe from coups in South America and Eastern Europe, to invading Syria and bombing Iranian diplomats at Iraqi airports.

However there were reports in Saudi papers of bin-Ladens funeral in 2001, and that his son visited his grave, also Benazir Bhutto claimed on an interview that "everyone knew" bin-Laden had been dead for years - so what were the US doing in the Stan apart from protecting poppy fields and importing them back on planes just like Vietnam.

I really want to know though if he was in the Stan, how he was able to outrun the NATO forces time and time again carrying his dialysis machine behind him - oh yeah - he had that massive cave fortress, that Dick Cheney showed us in that cartoonish picture. Fitted with hospital rooms, training facilities, bedrooms, gyms, massage parlours, the whole shebang - it was a miracle mountain hide out for any James Bond villain to live in.

I tried to find the comical picture we were shown on TV at the time but it's almost as if it's been wiped off the web. Now who would want to do such a thing?

The nearest I got was this image about how the US troops cleared out bin-Laden's Tora Bora mountain strong hold. Now just imagine this picture without the soldiers and lots of little rooms on 3 levels throughout the mountain, that would be more like the picture we were all shown of his hide out in the mountains.


Did we ever get to see a real life image of this massive hollowed out mountain with secret entrances and hospitals inside? I can't remember seeing anything but dusty old hollowed out tunnels, but then the US politicians such as Cheney and Powell said it existed, just like the WMD in Iraq, so I guess it must be true......

Biden said that this was not like the fall of Saigon, and you would not see helicopters rescuing American diplomats from the roof of their embassies then guess what, lots of video came out showing exactly that.

Invading other people's homeland's on any pretext just isn't right unless that country like NAZI Germany is threatening to go off and take over other countries.

If we actually DID fight for the oppressed and to help the people of the world we would be at war with China now, who are keeping a million ethnic Uighurs and other Turkic-speaking Muslims being held in Xinjiang’s concentration, oh sorry, re-education camps, according to a U.N. report released in August.

But no, war these days is about making money for the lobbyists that fill the halls of Washington, pushing for the invasion of this country or that, just so they can fleece the American tax payer some more by over charging them for weapons and kit.

We may not like the Taliban's 12 century Islamic ideals but we cannot force democracy on a country that does not want it. I think the last 20 years of a failed attempt in Afghanistan proves that point.

All the Taliban asked for was some "proof" that bin-Laden was behind the 9.11 attacks, which he wasn't, even the FBI most wanted list didn't list that crime against his name due to the lack of evidence.

However the US were too gung ho to offer another country some proof that their guest had committed the attacks when apparently after 190+ water boarding's we find out it was all KLM's idea anyway. That is of course if you don't want to really look into 9.11 and see all the Israeli and Saudi involvement in the attacks.

I think the USA should give the constant war against a word, "terror", a miss for a while.

Americans and Brits have lost liberties and freedoms that Bush claimed the Taliban hated us for, and we just handed them over to the government and said "protect us".

Therefore taking George W Bush's speech at face value, the US basically lost their war on terror as soon as the PATRIOT act was signed.

They have lost in Afghanistan, lost in Iraq, and lost in Vietnam. I guess just having the best fighting toys in the world doesn't mean a toss if you're fighting a guerrilla war against a people who one minute sit down and drink tea with you then the next are shooting at you.

All the locals see is another invading army wanting to change their customs and kill them.

From Wikipedia that 100% fact checked and totally honest log of history comes a list of invaders of Afghanistan over the years....

Afghanistan is a mountainous landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South (Southern) Asia.[1][2] Some of the invaders in the history of Afghanistan include the Maurya Empire, the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great of Macedon, Rashidun Caliphate, the Mongol Empire led by Genghis Khan, the Timurid Empire of Timur, the Mughal Empire, various Persian Empires, the Sikh Empire, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and most recently a coalition force of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops, the majority from the United States, which entered the country in the first-ever invocation of NATO's Article 5 "an attack on one is an attack on all" following the September 11 attacks in the United States.
The country is now entitled the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and has a democratically-elected government. However since American withdrawal, the Taliban has regained 100% of the territory. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasions_of_Afghanistan
Can we just leave the country alone for a bit, I know it a key area in the Grand Chessboard, and has been used for attacks on India but really, no-one ever manages to keep the country, and they are all eventually defeated.

We can not introduce Western Values by bombing weddings and funerals and firing $500k hellfire missiles into mud huts that had already been struck multiple times by similar weapons.

The only winners in this war were the MIC, who made billions from inflated prices, arming the US military, over-charging them for bombs and guns, boots and kit.

They must be looking at a globe in their Washington offices at the moment just trying to pick out a new enemy in their never ending war OF terror.

CIA and its links to the Opium trade in Afghanistan

The CIA and its links to the Afghanistan's President's brother, Hamid Karzai and his role in the Opium trade

By Dark Politricks

Another signal that the war on terror and the war on drugs in Afghanistan maybe more about controlling the very lucrative opium trade was the following article printed in the New York Times. The article details how the brother of Hamid Karzai a Ahmed Wali Karzai, who is regarded to be the biggest Opium dealer in the country, is also on the payroll of the CIA.

Now I won't even pretend to be shocked as we all know that the CIA is the biggest drug smuggler in the world and has been for some time. However for those people who are still under the illusion that our troops are dying out in the Stan for some noble cause it should be another sign that things are not always what our benevolent leaders tell us they are.

According to various sources including journalists and Russian government ministers the USA is definitely involved in the lucrative Opium trade which is severely affecting Russia with its ever increasing population of addicts. Russian journalist Arkadi Dubnov quotes Afghan sources as saying that “85 per cent of all drugs produced in southern and south-eastern provinces are shipped abroad by US aviation.”

A source in Afghanistan’s security services told Dubnov that the American military buy drugs from local Afghan officials who deal with field commanders overseeing eradication of drug production. Dubnov claimed in Vesti Novostei that the administration of President Hamid Karzai, including his two brothers, Kajum Karzai and Akhmed Vali Karzai, are involved in the narcotics trade.

We should only have to look at a simple graph that shows the levels of Opium production in Afghanistan over the years to see that when the CIA has been involved crop production has spiked. Remember it was actually a flat-line at zero up until the war with Russia and then the CIA had the brilliant idea of getting the Mujahedeen resistance fighters to grow Opium as a way of financing the guerrilla war as well as demoralising the Russian conscript army by getting them hooked to the drug.




The Opium crop only went up and up until the Taliban took over the country and then banned the growing of the poppy plant seeing it as Un-Islamic in 2001. They were actually successful at this eradication process and areas of the country controlled by the Taliban in 2001 grew next to nothing according to a UN report.


Should we be surprised that Afghanistan was then invaded later that year by the CIA and the Northern Alliance rebels it sponsored or was it just a lucky coincidence. The war was started supposedly to catch the master mind villain behind the 9.11 attacks a Mr Usama-bin-Laden who denied all knowledge or involvement in the attacks in an interview taken just afterwards.

However the invasion went forward and once rooted in the country the invading forces seemed to ignore the chase for bin-Laden and put their full attention to destroying the Taliban instead and unsurprisingly the opium crop started rising with record levels of the drug being produced year by year. Therefore when Blair and Bush were telling us that not only were in Afghanistan to catch al-Qaeda masterminds but also to help eradicate the Opium crop were they lying on only one front or both?

The following article was taken from the New York Times website and I have re-published it in full. The original link is at the bottom of the article.

Brother of Afghan Leader Is Said to Be on C.I.A. Payroll

By DEXTER FILKINS, MARK MAZZETTI and JAMES RISEN
Published: October 27, 2009

KABUL, Afghanistan — Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a suspected player in the country’s booming illegal opium trade, gets regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, and has for much of the past eight years, according to current and former American officials.

The agency pays Mr. Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the C.I.A.’s direction in and around the southern city of Kandahar, Mr. Karzai’s home.

The financial ties and close working relationship between the intelligence agency and Mr. Karzai raise significant questions about America’s war strategy, which is currently under review at the White House.

The ties to Mr. Karzai have created deep divisions within the Obama administration. The critics say the ties complicate America’s increasingly tense relationship with President Hamid Karzai, who has struggled to build sustained popularity among Afghans and has long been portrayed by the Taliban as an American puppet. The CIA.’s practices also suggest that the United States is not doing everything in its power to stamp out the lucrative Afghan drug trade, a major source of revenue for the Taliban.

More broadly, some American officials argue that the reliance on Ahmed Wali Karzai, the most powerful figure in a large area of southern Afghanistan where the Taliban insurgency is strongest, undermines the American push to develop an effective central government that can maintain law and order and eventually allow the United States to withdraw.

“If we are going to conduct a population-centric strategy in Afghanistan, and we are perceived as backing thugs, then we are just undermining ourselves,” said Maj. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, the senior American military intelligence official in Afghanistan.

Ahmed Wali Karzai said in an interview that he cooperated with American civilian and military officials, but did not engage in the drug trade and did not receive payments from the C.I.A.

The relationship between Mr. Karzai and the C.I.A. is wide ranging, several American officials said. He helps the C.I.A. operate a paramilitary group, the Kandahar Strike Force, that is used for raids against suspected insurgents and terrorists. On at least one occasion, the strike force has been accused of mounting an unauthorized operation against an official of the Afghan government, the officials said.

Mr. Karzai is also paid for allowing the C.I.A. and American Special Operations troops to rent a large compound outside the city — the former home of Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban’s founder. The same compound is also the base of the Kandahar Strike Force. “He’s our landlord,” a senior American official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Mr. Karzai also helps the C.I.A. communicate with and sometimes meet with Afghans loyal to the Taliban. Mr. Karzai’s role as a go-between between the Americans and the Taliban is now regarded as valuable by those who support working with Mr. Karzai, as the Obama administration is placing a greater focus on encouraging Taliban leaders to change sides.

A C.I.A. spokesman declined to comment for this article.

“No intelligence organization worth the name would ever entertain these kind of allegations,” said Paul Gimigliano, the spokesman.

Some American officials said that the allegations of Mr. Karzai’s role in the drug trade were not conclusive.

“There’s no proof of Ahmed Wali Karzai’s involvement in drug trafficking, certainly nothing that would stand up in court,” said one American official familiar with the intelligence. “And you can’t ignore what the Afghan government has done for American counter-terrorism efforts.”

At the start of the Afghan war, just after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, American officials paid warlords with questionable backgrounds to help topple the Taliban and maintain order with relatively few American troops committed to fight in the country. But as the Taliban has become resurgent and the war has intensified, Americans have increasingly viewed a strong and credible central government as crucial to turning back the Taliban’s advances.

Now, with more American lives on the line, the relationship with Mr. Karzai is setting off anger and frustration among American military officers and other officials in the Obama administration. They say that Mr. Karzai’s suspected role in the drug trade, as well as what they describe as the Mafia like way that he lords over southern Afghanistan, makes him a malevolent force.

These military and political officials say the evidence, though largely circumstantial, suggests strongly that Mr. Karzai has enriched himself by helping the illegal trade in poppy and opium to flourish. The assessment of these military and senior officials in the Obama administration dovetails with that of senior officials in the Bush administration.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in drug money are flowing through the southern region, and nothing happens in southern Afghanistan without the regional leadership knowing about it,” a senior American military officer in Kabul said. Like most of the officials in this article, he spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the information.
“If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck,” the American officer said of Mr. Karzai. “Our assumption is that he’s benefiting from the drug trade.”
American officials say that Afghanistan’s opium trade, the largest in the world, directly threatens the stability of the Afghan state, by providing a large percentage of the money the Taliban needs for its operations, and also by corrupting Afghan public officials to help the trade flourish.

The Obama administration has repeatedly vowed to crack down on the drug lords who are believed to permeate the highest levels of President Karzai’s administration. They have pressed him to move his brother out of southern Afghanistan, but he has so far refused to do so.

Other Western officials pointed to evidence that Ahmed Wali Karzai orchestrated the manufacture of hundreds of thousands of phony ballots for his brother’s re-election effort in August. He is also believed to have been responsible for setting up dozens of so-called ghost polling stations — existing only on paper — that were used to manufacture tens of thousands of phony ballots.

“The only way to clean up Chicago is to get rid of Capone,” General Flynn said.

In the interview in which he denied a role in the drug trade or taking money from the C.I.A., Ahmed Wali Karzai said he received regular payments from his brother, the president, for “expenses,” but said he did not know where the money came from. He has, among other things, introduced Americans to insurgents considering changing sides. And he has given the Americans intelligence, he said. But he said he was not compensated for that assistance.

“I don’t know anyone under the name of the C.I.A.,” Mr. Karzai said. “I have never received any money from any organization. I help, definitely. I help other Americans wherever I can. This is my duty as an Afghan.”

Mr. Karzai acknowledged that the C.I.A. and Special Operations troops stayed at Mullah Omar’s old compound. And he acknowledged that the Kandahar Strike Force was based there. But he said he had no involvement with them.

A former C.I.A. officer with experience in Afghanistan said the agency relied heavily on Ahmed Wali Karzai, and often based covert operatives at compounds he owned. Any connections Mr. Karzai might have had to the drug trade mattered little to C.I.A. officers focused on counterterrorism missions, the officer said.

Virtually every significant Afghan figure has had brushes with the drug trade,” he said. “If you are looking for Mother Teresa, she doesn’t live in Afghanistan.”

The debate over Ahmed Wali Karzai, which began when President Obama took office in January, intensified in June, when the C.I.A.’s local paramilitary group, the Kandahar Strike Force, shot and killed Kandahar’s provincial police chief, Matiullah Qati, in a still-unexplained shootout at the office of a local prosecutor.

The circumstances surrounding Mr. Qati’s death remain shrouded in mystery. It is unclear, for instance, if any agency operatives were present — but officials say the firefight broke out when Mr. Qati tried to block the strike force from freeing the brother of a task force member who was being held in custody.

“Matiullah was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Mr. Karzai said in the interview.

Counter-narcotics officials have repeatedly expressed frustration over the unwillingness of senior policy makers in Washington to take action against Mr. Karzai — or even begin a serious investigation of the allegations against him. In fact, they say that while other Afghans accused of drug involvement are investigated and singled out for raids or even rendition to the United States, Mr. Karzai has seemed immune from similar scrutiny.

For years, first the Bush administration and then the Obama administration have said that the Taliban benefits from the drug trade, and the United States military has recently expanded its target list to include drug traffickers with ties to the insurgency. The military has generated a list of 50 top drug traffickers tied to the Taliban who can now be killed or captured.

Senior Afghan investigators say they know plenty about Mr. Karzai’s involvement in the drug business. In an interview in Kabul this year, a top former Afghan Interior Ministry official familiar with Afghan counter-narcotics operations said that a major source of Mr. Karzai’s influence over the drug trade was his control over key bridges crossing the Helmand River on the route between the opium growing regions of Helmand Province and Kandahar.

The former Interior Ministry official said that Mr. Karzai was able to charge huge fees to drug traffickers to allow their drug-laden trucks to cross the bridges.

But the former officials said it was impossible for Afghan counter-narcotics officials to investigate Mr. Karzai. “This government has become a factory for the production of Opium because of corruption and injustice,” the former official said.

Some American counter-narcotics officials have said they believe that Mr. Karzai has expanded his influence over the drug trade, thanks in part to American efforts to single out other drug lords.

In debriefing notes from Drug Enforcement Administration interviews in 2006 of Afghan informants obtained by The New York Times, one key informant said that Ahmed Wali Karzai had benefited from the American operation that lured Hajji Bashir Noorzai, a major Afghan drug lord during the time that the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, to New York in 2005. Mr. Noorzai was convicted on drug and conspiracy charges in New York in 2008, and was sentenced to life in prison this year.

Habibullah Jan, a local military commander and later a member of Parliament from Kandahar, told the D.E.A. in 2006 that Mr. Karzai had teamed with Haji Juma Khan to take over a portion of the Noorzai drug business after Mr. Noorzai’s arrest.

What Really Started The Afghan War

What Really Started The Afghan War

By Dark Politricks
Video by The Corbett Report

The War in Afghanistan is the USA's longest ever and the most unpopular, even beating the Vietnam conflict.

The USA has been fighting the Taliban, or locals who just see them as another invading force on the backs of the Soviets, the British Empire and many other countries going back centuries to Alexander the Great who couldn't even win in the Afghanistan .

If all the previous attempts failed what makes American neocon warmongers believe they will succeed where everyone before couldn't.

Even after 17 years of fighting the Americans don't control the majority of the country and the Taliban are still carrying out devastating attacks to remove them from their land.

Whether the Pakistani ISI is a help or hindrance is totally up for debate but what isn't is that:
  • America had plans to invade Afghanistan before 9.11.
  • They had met with the Taliban to discuss an oil pipeline but failed to reach agreement in 2001.
  • The banned the growing of Opium, calling it un-Islamic in 2001. However since invasion the tonnage of Opium grown each year has expanded hugely. With more than whispers that NATO and US planes are taking the Opium back to the West to pay for black ops and other covert missions. So much for Tony Blair's commitment to "Stop the Opium crisis" when the war started.
  • There are large deposits of minerals used for modern technological devices in the realms of billions of dollars that exist which China, Japan and the USA want to extract.
  • A survey carried out just after 2001 showed that 92% of Afghans had never even heard of Usama bin-Laden or the 9.11 attacks.
So are the Americans just staying to create permanent bases that once again threaten both Russia and China's regions of influence and create tensions between these countries.

This is the Corbett Report's video on the Afghan war where he looks at why did the war in Afghanistan start, and how did NATO become involved in the conflict?

He reveals the remarkable truth about the secret documents that helped launch the Afghan war.

Here is the story of the secrets and lies that started the war in Afghanistan.

The Real Culture War is just about starting

The Real Culture War is just about starting

By Dark Politricks

From a European perspective the culture wars in the USA seem to be over such insignificant matters that the two parties seem indistinguishable from each other.

The GOP call Obama a Marxist and the Democrats call the Republicans red neck creationists.

In reality their is little in difference between both high deficit, war mongering, police state, big government parties that incur huge government debts for their own purposes.

Do American's not realise that over here in Europe we actually have countries who still have Communist and Facsist parties holding seats in parliament and a range of parties from Green, Liberal, Conservative, Trade Union supporting and everything else in-between going for seats in parliament at every election.

The Americans seem to be fighting over the same things not realising that the major points that matter - war, the future of our planet, energy, workers rights, paying off our debts without killing growth (and our old people at the same time) are the things that really matter. To many Europeans there seems little difference between the Democratics and Republicans.

The real culture wars, which I believe have been planned for a very long time, probably since before the end of the Cold War as the military industrial complex looked for a new enemy to bring in their billions of dollars are going to be religious based. Christian & Judaism verus Islam or Liberalism verus Middle Age thinking.

This is the same military industrial complex Dwight Eisenhower spoke about in his farewell speech.


These are the descendants of the peace time standing armies Thomas Jefferson warned us about hundreds of years ago.
"Standing armies [are] inconsistent with [a people’s] freedom and subversive of their quiet." ~Reply to Lord North’s Proposition (1775)
Both these warnings have been ignored and the next war is on the brink of being played out RIGHT now.

Our multi culturlisam has let the enemies within our gates and now whole swathes of European cities from London to Amsterdam and Paris are full of Islamic extremists who have no concept of free speech, the right to offend or the rights of women.

Many of these people still live in a world formed by 7th century views.

As Western Judaeo Christian beliefs have lightened over the years and science has replaced mysitcism and magic as the way to find answers to questions we don't yet know we are being surrounded by people who won't change their dogmatic beliefs because the Koran says so.

Gods word is fixed and unchangeable to many of these people.

A point in time back in the 7th century was the end of all progress for many Muslims including the Taliban who before the Americans invaded Afghanistan had banned music, dancing and all forms of sexual "deviance" as it broke the faith and led you to being executed in the middle of the Kabul football stadium.

The culture wars are being fought out everytime a radical Christian decides to burn a Koran or a video or cartoon mocking the phrophet Mohammed is played out and chaos insues around the world.

From the war zones where attacks on NATO bases have just been carried out to the riots in Middle Eastern cities and now to protests in European city centres.

Then there comes the backlash.

We have had the Nowegian mass murderer Behring Breivik killing not Muslims but 77 white children for their part in letting the enemy in the gates of Europe.

We have the English Defence League a replacment for the National Front which used to go round bashing up blacks and gay's  fighting the Burka clad women who don't even acknowledge a white male or say thank you if you let them across the road or open a door for them due to their religion/culture.

Plus the culturally abusive men who force their child daughters into servitude at an early age through forced marriages and then implement "honour killings" when they refuse to obey.

Much of this is culture NOT religion but it is being mixed up so much people can not longer tell the difference and the men in these families will use religion as an excuse to carry out these barbaric acts.
Now this is not to say I am a Muslim basher as nothing can be further from the truth.

I know people who call themselves Muslim just like those who call themselves Jewish or Christian who still smoke, drink, take drugs or have affairs.

Heck I know a white bloke who converted to Islam just so that he could marry his Muslm neighbour because if he wanted to divorce her he only had to tell her 3 times.

I know Muslims who parents must think they are good Islamic followers of the faith as they are outside all night partying after leaving the Mosque on a Friday. Everything a non fundermentalist liberal culturised Brit would do on a normal Friday night out on the town.

The enemy is not every Muslim.

Just like the fact that every American Christian isn't an abortionist killing, death penalty loving, creationist believing contradiction wrapped up in a riddle.

The enemy is a strict belief in a religion that was written by uneducated people hundreds of years ago to explain the world around them and then spread with the threat of hell if you stray from the path and the reward of heaven or 72 virgins if you die a matyr to your faith.

The enemy is a strict belief in any religion that tells you what to eat, when to eat, how to have sex, who to have sex with, who to hate and so on.

This applies to all religions not just Islam.

However everytime some anti-Islamic film is made or Koran burnt many of the people rioting and killing NATO troops have not even seen said film, cartoon or book and they are acting on the orders of others who are stoking up their rage.

Afghanistan is a mess.

We should have never gone in there in the first place and once we leave the hundreds if not thousands of sleeper cells inside the NATO trained Afghan army and police will come out and fight and it will all turn to shit again. We will have accomplished nothing.

We are already at the peak of Green on Blue deaths with 51 NATO troops killed so far this year.
A senior Afghan official in Kabul is quoted as saying that "the issue of rogue soldiers and Taliban infiltration is an even bigger threat than suicide attacks."

Once we leave "the Stan" and return home will the real culture war end or will it just be starting?

Have we left it too late to have any hope of assimiliating the millions of Muslims now living in Europe into Western Liberal culture that allows free speech and does not protect the right to be offended?

Many have been assimilated but many others led by radical clerics and Imans are all too keen to express the same rage over silly  produced films as their Middle Eastern counterparts are doing such as the one below.



These fundamentalist Muslims want to implement Sharia law across the world and see our western liberal freedoms as a weakness not a strength. We can watch a film like the one above and say "that's rubbish and a crock of shit" without going on murderous rampages around the world.

It makes it all more surprising that we have been spending the last few years removing dictators and strong men that were western friendly and kept a lid on all the Islamic infighting and religious mania.

People like Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Mubarak who may have been nasty dictators but who were leaders that let Christians and Muslims live side by side. Heck, even Iran has one of the largest number of Jews living inside it outside Jerusalem and New York.

However we decided to arm al-Qaeda linked rebels and other religious fanatics and let them other-throw these dictators and now the Middle East is a mess.

These NATO armed religious rebels who are walking around their towns with guns and rockets paid for by our taxes will be all too keen to turn them on us once their missions are accomplished. Just like the Mujahideen turned in al-Qaeda after we created them in the 80's to fight the USSR. We can only wait for the blowback.

Obviously this all plays into the hands of those who want to ramp up the war against Islam and extend the high tech surveillence state at home.

Even the odd false flag attack now and then to be blamed on Muslims wouldn't hurt to stoke up the feelings that a real war is needed to stop these fanatics wouldn't be past the people I'm talking about.

This could just be the reason our "leaders" were looking for to finalise the all invasive, all seeing, police state that is being created brick by brick around us as you read this article.

When the enemy has been let in willingingly and then stoked up by being placed in ghettos like the outskirts of Paris, given little or no jobs and treated like 2nd class citizens by the people they came to live with, it becomes easy to take a youngster and radicalise him against his neighbours.

Mix in the one thing they hold dear - their religion - constantly mocked and attacked through stupid movies and laws banning head scarfs and Burkas and it only becomes clear the real culture war is going to be between western liberalism and Islam.

Once riots becoming an almost monthly occurrence across Europe because of this culture war, then it only becomes "sensible" to keep track off everybody for "their own good".

With the all pervasive high tech surveillance state and city sized super computers watching your every move on and offline in case dissent forms and the real culture war turns hot and bloody.

Whether we can roll back from the brink however is a totally different matter and one I don't know the answer to. I just hope we can find one soon.
