Afghanistan: Bzrezinski’s Grand Chessboard game and the continuation of the Anglo-Afghan War

Since the early ’80s Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould have been highly devoted to expose the truth about what is really going on in Afghanistan. They have travelled there on a few occasions, notably at the very inception of the Afghan War in 1981, in 1983 and also more recently after 9/11. What they have found is extremely different from what you would expect, judging by what you can hear in the mainstream media in the western world. They have produced a documentary titled Afghanistan Between Three Worlds, worked and delivered stories for CBS, ABC, PBS and also have published two very important books, Afghanistan’s Untold Story and their latest, Crossing Zero: the AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire. This is an overview here of what they have found in their research.

First of all, I don’t pretend that I can summarize the situation in Afghanistan. It is extremely complex, far more than any westerner can imagine, because Afghanistan is another world. The mainstream media doing the job of blurring all those areas where our thought needs to be educated and informed, we have most of the time a vision of Afghanistan that is caricatural, grotesque, appearing almost coming out of a Lord of the Rings novel. I will try to do my best to sketch the situation as it appears to be according to the information available in the interviews and videos that you can consult on this page. To be able to get the picture about what is going on in Afghanistan, you have to do the efforts yourself to dig in the information and learn. I can’t do it for you.

To begin with, the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service, which has strong ties to the military, was a creation more or less of the United States from the start. They are in control of the government of Pakistan since its inception in 1947. The Taliban, in turn, are a creation of the ISI. The ISI bring candidates for the Taliban into « seminaries » where they are formed and trained in Pakistan. Also, you have to realize that there are several branches of the Taliban, active in Pashtun territory, in Punjab territory, in Baluchistan which seeks its own independence, and in various areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. So, understandably, the whole region has to be considered as a same geo-political entity. And the Durand Line (1893), which separates Pakistan and Afghanistan, is highly contested and a serious source of conflict that complicates the situation even more.

Second, a long-term geo-political agenda is at play here, which was first implemented in early 19th century by the British Empire. You will remember that Great Britian and Russia were at war at the very beginning of that century (1807-1812) and at other occasions later on, for example during the Crimean War (1853-1856). That was what is called the « Great Game ». But here, it is the reminiscence of the Anglo-Afgha War, with its two phases, 1839-1842 and 1878-1880, that is even more determinant. The foreign policy of Great Britain and of the United States since the beginning of the 20th century is simply an extension, a continuation of that state of perpetual conflict with Russia through Afghanistan and other states in the same area, which were and still are a proxies. Zbigniew Bzrezinski with his Grand Chessboard game is one of the most proeminent modern architect of that strategy today. The general idea is to seal off China and Russia by creating a wall of states and territories that would be friendly to the interests and to the agenda of the U.S. and of other western states. The end goal here is obviously the control of resources, oil, mines, lands, etc. That is why that part of the world is called the Earth Island, a stretch of land that begins at the Detroit of Gibraltar and goes way up to the confines of China. It is in that part of the world where we find the most resources, the most population, the most lands, etc.

China’s aggressive bids in the mining industry: its counter-attack against the West?

State-owned China Minmetals Corp has made a $6.3-billion offer in cash to acquire canadian copper producer Equinox Minerals Ltd. Equinox operates, notably, mines in Zambia and in Saudi Arabia. Recently, Equinox has made an offer to acquire Lundin Mining Corp, which was rejected. This bid now by Minmetals sinks Equinox’s offer for Lundin anyway. The bid also shows a change of attitude on the part of China in relation with takeover tactics. They seem to want to adopt the western attitude. Apparently, if the bid is successful, Minmetals will still want to get their hands on Lundin, which would make them an important player in the copper industry.

Question: Is this China’s response to the « uprisings » (see my earlier posts: this, this and this) in the Middle East, through which the western world seems to be reaffirming its control over the resources, oil and others? In other terms, instead of counter-attacking militarily to the West’s aggressive takeover moves for resources in the Middle East, China has chosen to, for the moment, use economic and financial tools to achieve that same goal? With a population of 1.5 billion, their need and hunger for raw materials and energy is insatiable and will just keep growing. How long will they be able to restraint their efforts like this to get the resources they need without deploying more agressive solutions, such as military means? I don’t know. But we are certainly witnessing on their part a change of strategy. Their economy is roaring and with all these mouths to feed and these industries to furnish materials and energy to, it is just a question of time before things get a little more physical. The second article shows that, although copper doesn’t seeem like a good investment at this time, the Chinese want to have a bigger chunk of the cake.

Contrer l’ignorance et la propagande haineuse contre les Juifs et Israel: un travail des tous les instants

© Emirsimsek | Dreamstime.com

J’ai rassemblé quelques textes du site web Aschkel Info ainsi que la transcription, disponible sur le site JSS News, d’une conférence donnée par le professeur Alan Dershowitz. En cette période trouble de notre histoire où la propagande et le contrôle de l’information n’ont jamais été aussi omniprésents et déterminants, il est essentiel de remettre les pendules à l’heure pour aider nos concitoyens et compatriotes à comprendre les vrais enjeux, afin qu’ils puissent ainsi résister intelligemment et de façon efficace. Il serait trop long de reprendre point par point le contenu de tous ces articles. Il est plutôt à votre avantage et de votre devoir de le faire vous-mêmes, puisque cette information n’a pas passé à travers le prisme déformant de la propagande médiatique occidentale, vendue aux islamistes.

Voyez-vous, l’Occident craint de manquer d’énergie dans les prochaines années si jamais la Chine ou la Russie réussit à prendre le contrôle des ressources pétrolières au moyen-Orient et en Afrique. Comme Israel est un pays modéré, démocratique, européen de culture et donc incompatible avec le fascisme islamique qui est en vogue présentement, toute une série de mesures sont mises en place pour attaquer Israel et le dénigrer au niveau international, et tout ça pour faire plaisir à nos « alliés » islamistes, notamment les Frères musulmans. Soit dit en passant, la philosophie économique et financière adoptée par les islamistes se réclame d’un penseur musulman du XIVième siècle, Ibn Khaldun. Il propose système capitaliste basée sur les corporations, tout à fait compatible avec les systèmes fascistes du vingtième siècle que l’on a vu naître, comme l’Italie mussolinienne et l’Allemagne nazie. En gros, l « entente » est la suivante: les islamistes collaborent avec les efforts occidentaux de déstabilisation de la Russie, de la Chine et au fond de l’Orient en général pour sécuriser son accès au pétrole, et en retour, les occidentaux permettent aux islamistes d’assumer plus de leadership au niveau politique et de déverser leur fiel haineux envers les Juifs, fiel qui est présent je vous le rappelle dans le texte même du Coran. La haine des Juifs n’a pas commencé avec la création de l’État d’Israel. Si on se concentre uniquement sur l’Islam pour les fins de notre discussion, il est bon de savoir que la première chose que Mahomet a fait après avoir conquis la péninsule arabique au 7ième siècle, a été d’exterminer les Juifs. Tout un démocrate, hein? D’autres passages du Coran appellent les croyants à tuer les Juifs, à mentir au non-musulmans, etc. C’est pourquoi l’information présentée ici doit être véhiculée et partagée avec vos amis, familles et connaissances. Il en va de notre avenir à tous et d’une paix durable sur Terre.

J’ai également joint un vidéo montrant des célébrations tenues lors de l’anniversaire de la libération de la vieille cité de Jérusalem. Observez bien l’énergie qui se dégage. Est-ce que ça ressemble à ce qu’on dit des Juifs dans les médias, à savoir que ce sont des gens remplis de haine, qui ont soif de sang, qui ne peuvent s’empêcher de tuer, torturer et d’expulser des pauvres Palestiniens? Pas du tout, on le voit par ces images. Les Juifs sont, de façon générale, des gens doux, gentils, aimables, pacifiques, démocrates. En fait, ce qu’il faut comprendre, c’est que ce que l’on reproche aux Juifs dans les médias occidentaux en termes de comportements et attitudes, ce sont les islamistes et les Arabes qui les incarnent la plupart du temps. Hitler parlait de la propagande comme étant l’art de complètement renverser les faits. C’est exactement ce qui se passe ici avec la propagande anti-juive et anti-israelienne. Réveillez-vous avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.

The 50-Point Manifesto of Hasan al-Banna: where catholic bigotry meets Soviet Russia and Mussolini’s Corporate State

Here is the link to a page on Pointdebascule website where the 50-Point Manifesto of Hasan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, is presented. Jesus-Christ that it must be boring to live in such a society! No gambling, no nightclubs, no alcohol, no drugs, no prostitution…but can we still eat, just to be sure? Everybody has to wear the same uniform, there is only one political party, women and men are being separated in schools and in other activities… With the Muslim Brotherhood, we are witnessing the birth and expansion of probably the worst ideology that the world has ever conceived. In effect, it combines the worst elements of ideologies of the past. The islamic bigotry that is apparent here is  only too reminiscent of catholic bigotry that was rampant before WWII. In Quebec for example, we had our shares of that crap, believe me. These elements of islamic bigotry merge, in Hasan al-Banna’s doctrine, with means of social control typical of soviet Russia for finally transfiguring themselves in a corporate state philosophy that would have given Mussolini his best orgasms. Frankly, the way things are going, we are pretty much screwed. If western leaders really think they are doing us and themselves a big favor in toppling Middle East dictators in the wake of the so-called « democratic » revolutions, they must stand corrected. Western leaders and éminences grises are in fact paving the way for a major regression into Antiquity. Today’s Middle East leaders were acting, until recently, as safety valves against all kinds of barbaric social tendencies and groups, which were encouraged by Islamism and terrorism. Now that they are being overthrown, nothing stands in the way anymore of Islamists, terrorists or groups of barbarians to impose their views on pro-democratic populations. To read how I assess the situation in Libya, see my earlier post.

I am suggesting as well Dave Emory’s last show, FTR #736, which continues the analysis on the coup d’état that was perpetrated in Egypt. Bring your attention more specifically, among other elements, on section 2c where an exerpt of  John Roy Carlson’s Cairo to Damascus is presented that shows what are the real « values »  of the Brotherhood. As well, here is Dave Emory‘s latest blog entry analyzing the results of a recent election exercice in Egypt and how in such occasion the Muslim Brotherhood has prevailed against pro-democratic forces of the youth. With all these elements of information, I don’t see how one still could think that the Brotherhood is benevolent.

The Libyan operation: another piggy back coup?

In Dave Emory’s FTR #735, we have seen that the « uprisings » in the Middle East are probably to a large extent the results of a vaste operation conducted by the intelligence agencies of the West in order to change the leadership in that area of the Earth. Although there is nobody more convinced than me that these regimes need to be changed for democratic ones, I have been, as Dave Emory and other observers of the geo-political scene, more than skeptical about the « democratic » nature of the so-called revolutions. And with reason. When you have been deceived more than once, as it is the case with several events that happened since WWII, you develop a certain apprehension, prudence and carefulness when dealing with sudden changes.

Now, is the Libyan operation a piggy back coup on the Egyptian one, which was in itself a piggy back coup on the Tunisian operation? It is possible. In an earlier post, I have already said that Khadafi should remain in power for the moment, at least temporarily, to fight  back against Islamists forces, because the risks of such a takeover is too great in case of an overthrow. First, let me ask you this: where do the rebels get their weapons to fight Khadafi forces? Well…I guess that is one information that we don’t have but it is definitely important. In effect, in order to have weapons the rebels must buy or obtain them from a source that is ready to provide such weapons to that group, knowing very well that they will serve to try to overthrow Khadafi. So who is selling these weapons to the rebels? I don’t know. It is the job of the journalists to find out anyway but nobody does a particularly good job at this for the moment.

Second, haven’t you noticed that Libya shares a border with Sudan? The last time I checked, the north part of the country was controlled by Islamists and terrorists, while the south part has recently voted in favour of its secession from the north, its citizens being tired of the incessant harassment, killings, tortures, rapes, etc, brought so « generously » by the Islamic Jihad of the northmen. Maybe the weapons with which the « rebels » of Libya are fighting against Khadafi are coming in fact from the Islamists of North Sudan. That would be logical. And from whom these North Sudan Islamic Jihad warriors get their weapons? Again, and I don’t want to be patronizing, but it is the journalists’s job to bring these facts to the light of day. The operation launched by the Coalition Forces against Khadafi, although maybe sincere, might prove fatal in the long run for western civilization. Khadafi is definitely the strongest man in the area and if he falls, I don’t see who could be able to stand against the Islamists and their western sponsors.

According to Dave Emory, this vaste operation launched in the Middle East has got the approval of both branches of the CIA/State Department, the Democrat branch and the Republican branch (for that matter, see the  interview with John Loftus FTR #731). It is probably the truth. However, I fail to see how the Democrat branch would be able to recuperate those messy countries and bring them to democratic parlementary or presidential governments after such violent and improvised overthrows. Democratic life is not like flipping a switch. It doesn’t take on immediately. It takes time, during which any totalitarian mafia can organise itself and seize power. It will be interesting to see what measures the Democrat branch of the CIA/State Department will put in places to make sure that these countries really get on the path of democracy. But it will certainly have to counteract first the machinations of the Republican branch, and that is not small stuff.

Also, and Emory alluded to it in its last show FTR #736, one possibility that is certainly foreseeable, is that a plan is under implementation to create a wall between the western world and an Eastern Block of nations that may form in the near future or already in formation, that may comprise China, Russia, India, Pakistan and satellite nations such as Vietnam, North Korea, maybe Japan, etc. Is the West trying to secure oil reserves in anticipation for a takeover of these by entities created by or under control of a number of states of such an Eastern Block? It is certainly possible. If one takes China alone, just by the growing demand in energy of its population of 1.5 billion people, that’s enough to make anyone envision the worst scenarios. And I am even not mentioning here the fact that China is still a communist regime and that we don’t know for sure to what extent Russia has really succeeded in extinguishing the soviet flame or its imperialistic ambitions. That certainly doesn’t help the situation either.

I will cease here the speculation. Just keep your eyes open and question everything you are told. I think that is the best attitude. I have attached two news. The first concerns the  latest « facts » about the Libyan « uprising » and the next covers sudden investments made by the Saudis in the Middle East. According to you, are the Saudis trying to calm down the population by injecting money into the economy or are they securing their earlier investments because they know very well that they will become even more profitable in the near future? I will let you decide.

Encore une fois les Québécois vont se faire fourrer…Léo Paul Lauzon en discute avec Benoît Dutrizac

Encore une fois, on va se faire avoir. Les gens qui sont supposés représenter nos intérêts représentent en fait leurs intérêts. À chaque fois qu’ils ont l’occasion de s’en mettre plein les poches en utilisant nos ressources, notre savoir-faire, notre main-d’oeuvre, ils n’hésitent pas. Le Québec, comme le Canada d’ailleurs, est une terre ouverte, un régime colonial où l’on peut piller, voler, extorquer, et ce avec la bénédiction du gouvernement. Et ça se comprend. Les portes sont tournantes entre le gouvernement et le secteur privé. On passe de l’industrie au gouvernement et du gouvernement à l’industrie comme on passe des coulisses à la scène et de celle-ci aux coulisses comme le font les acteurs de théâtre. C’est ça le fascisme. Les corporations ont mis la main sur l’ensemble des ressources, des outils, des institutions  et la vie publique n’est qu’un théâtre avec lequel on distrait les idiots que nous sommes, les exploités payeurs de taxes. Quand ce régime de barbarie va-t-il cesser de nous réduire à l’esclavage? Après cinquante ans de fascisme  corporatiste, êtes-vous toujours convaincus que les Allemands ont perdu la guerre?

You still believe cell phones are good? Think again…

Have you ever wondered what real use you do of your cell phone ? What I mean is what are the true instances where you really need it for a « real » conversion like an emergency, a situation when you need to reach someone on the spot or when the information that you have to communicate is really important? In a year, these situations happen maybe once or twice. After all, for millenia humans have lived without a cell phone and the universe didn’t stop. When the hard line phone was invented humans began to use it and for decades the need for the cell phone just wasn’t there…until the corporations came in. They made you believe that you needed this thing. And now that everybody has gone crazy about it, communication has never been so superficial and meaningless. Text messages, twitter and facebook commentaries sent by these phones have reached a level of stupidity unprecedented. And here, I am not even mentioning possible mind-control applications through this micro-wave technology that may be used against us, which is another subject by its own. This little cartoon from markfiore.com offers an humoristic but realist account of the situation. I found it thanks to the Peter B. Collins Show website. Sweet dreams…but close your cell phone, please.
