Afghan Women Being Used Again For Propaganda Purposes

The US was pushed out of Afghanistan yesterday by the Taliban, now allied with the Northern Alliance, giving them more control over Afghanistan than they had when the US invaded in 2001.

To be fair to Americans, military contractors and drug smugglers made out like bandits for 20 years. And if you judge "success" by money made, there are mansions in Virginia that show great success.

We are now back to the propaganda of 20 years ago, "We are there to save the women". And people are falling for it again!

But the women of Afghanistan were much better off before the Americans started destroying their country in 1979. Funny how that history is ignored in the tsunami of propaganda washing over us now.

Afghanistan in the 70s was a favorite of young American hippies with money enough to travel. Beautiful country, friendly people, cheap travel and to top it off, hashish. The government was progressive, and women went to university and became doctors and engineers.

That all stopped when the US started paying, arming and training the Islamic fundamentalists in 1979. Let Zbigniew Brzezinski explain it to you..."Zbigniew Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version, the CIA’s support for the Mujahideen began in 1980, i.e. after the Soviet army’s invasion of Afghanistan on 24 December 1979. But the reality, which was kept secret until today, is completely different: Actually it was on 3 July 1979 that president Carter signed the first directive for the secret support of the opposition against the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And on the same day I wrote a note, in which I explained to the president that this support would in my opinion lead to a military intervention by the Soviets. Le Nouvel Observateur: Despite this risk you were a supporter of this covert action? But perhaps you expected the Soviets to enter this war and tried to provoke it?

Zbigniew Brzezinski: It’s not exactly like that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene but we knowingly increased the probability that they would do it.

Le Nouvel Observateur: When the Soviets justified their intervention with the statement that they were fighting against a secret US interference in Afghanistan, nobody believed them. Nevertheless there was a core of truth to this…Do you regret nothing today?

Zbigniew Brzezinski: Regret what? This secret operation was an excellent idea. It lured the Russians into the Afghan trap, and you would like me to regret that? On the day when the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote president Carter, in essence: “We now have the opportunity to provide the USSR with their Viet Nam war.” Indeed for ten years Moscow had to conduct a war that was intolerable for the regime, a conflict which involved the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet Empire.

Le Nouvel Observateur: And also, don’t you regret having helped future terrorists, having given them weapons and advice?

Zbigniew Brzezinski: What is most important for world history? The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? Some Islamic hotheads or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?"

The US does not care about women, or children, or peace and stability in any of their targeted countries. We discuss this on this podcast.

Before you fall for it again, please take the time to watch this documentary, made during the first wave of "We are there to save the women" propaganda. .
