He didn’t call Russia, did he?
I read the SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden tweeted “20 years after 9/11 the Taliban control Afghanistan, and I’m on a no fly list.”
And it is worth noting, in regard to the recent allowing of the Taliban, who operated mainly in Pakistan, which is supposedly our ally, to retake Afghanistan, that we knew all along where Bid Laden was. I was told this in 2005 by a former Spec. Op guy who had tasked with Blackwater in Pakistan: Bin Laden, Zawahiri, “everyone”. Finding that out fucked with his mind, which in turn fucked with mine a bit.
In my understanding, Seymour Hersh later validated this. I have not read all this review, but in my understanding that was the gist of his book: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n10/seymour-m.-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden
What really just happened? We pretended to fight a war, which we just lost in less than a month after winning for 20 years, but which was fought with an enemy directly and openly supported by a supposed ally.
We knew where they were, and just watched them march into Afghanistan without doing anything. Biden supposedly told the Afghan President to hold his tongue, even as he was losing his country.
Who really runs this country, and what do they want? I don’t know. You don’t know either, if you are honest. But I think the stories we tell our fighting men and women nearly always are lies, and most of them have nothing at all to do with liberty, here or anywhere else. They are not fighting for “freedom”. Not when we are losing it here to the very people pushing the buttons.
Consider that the FBI, the primary and oldest Federal law enforcement agency, seemingly wants nothing more than to provoke an incident that will allow them to put football stadiums worth of people in jail, most of them veterans who fought for this country, killed for it in many cases, and watched friends die in many more.
Is the FBI not a vastly more clear and present enemy to the rule of law in this country than the Taliban? On the one hand they aid and abet the crimes of the elite. I have seen people ask “what do the Chinese have on Joe Biden?”. Well, for starters they gave Hunter a billion dollars to start a company he seemingly never started. This was on the laptop they claim they never looked at. The one they did not seize from Rudy Guiliani, which contained many evidences of corruption: with regard to Ukraine as well, and Hunter’s own admissions, all in addition to images which could and shut have put Hunter in jail.
And of course they have been covering for the Clintons for a long time. Her emails alone would have put you or me in jail for life. Not just the fact of the emails, but the server itself. Everyone knows this.
And would it surprise you to learn they played a role in Jeffrey Epstein’s murder? Certainly, they are accomplices to the cover up. They took the “malfunctioning” cameras, remember? Have you heard a peep since? I haven’t. As I have mentioned, I talked to a guy who works in a jail, and in his view most of the people on shift in the BUILDING had to be in on it. At least a dozen people or so. Nobody served a minute, and I’m not even sure anyone lost their job. And nobody is looking to see if their bank accounts or stock investments went up suddenly, or they went on around the world cruises, or God knows what weird stuff nobody will ever read about.
And on the direct attack on our freedoms side, they seemingly provoked Jan. 6th with Agents Provocateurs, and if the Capital Police allowed all that to happen, it must have been coordinated with them. They then arrested–according to some reports without reading them their Miranda rights, as Simone Gold for one alleges–people whose main crime was naivete, and many of whom they continue to allow to be held without trial, as what amount to political prisoners, all while Congress–Nancy Pelosi specifically–refuse to allow the video footage of that day to be released to defense attorneys.
In America you have the right to present evidence as to your innocence. Pelosi has both the legal and moral duty to allow them their defense. She is not doing it for two reasons: 1) it will make her own complicity in the whole thing obvious; and 2) because the aim is to SCARE people. They want people rightfully angry about real abuses–real abuses which of course most of our Goebbelsian media will spin as either necessary or non-existent–too frightened to take to the streets.
The whole thing is fascist. Authoritarian. Contrary to the rule and principle of the laws of the American people. The exact sort of thing we would protest in other countries–hypocritically, as it turns out.
I wonder daily what the solution is. A big part of the problem is that a good third of our country seems to adore Fascism. There were Italian Fascists, remember. They had the support of a lot of people. So protests which include elements across the political spectrum are unlikely, not when so many people WANT to be controlled and abused.
Politically, one of my main hopes remains the Arizona Audit. I don’t know why it continues to be delayed. At some point, you have to suspect fear, or corruption. Both are powerful forces. We are lied to continually by people we should trust.
This country has already fallen, much of it. Agencies which we know are corrupt include the CIA, FBI, most likely the NSA, most Secretaries of State and Governors in most States, the FDA, of course the NIH and CDC, the DHS, and honestly I don’t even want to continue. It’s most of them.
I have to assume all these agencies include honest people who feel the time is not right, or who are too scared–and always will be too scared– to admit they are not on board with the coming final (as opposed to the contingent and supposedly temporary COVID measures) destruction of the liberties all of us value as integral to our lives as we have always conceived them.
As I have said often, I don’t really deal in hope. I deal in persistence. That is reliable.
