Title: The truth about Afghanistan
Post by: primax on June 09, 2010, 07:36:09 pm
Lets have a chat about the good old Afghanistan question, what we are REALLY doing there and what is actually taking place. Anyone ever wondered why the Russians attacked Afghanistan in the late 1970’s and their own particular reasons for being there?
A few years ago (2003) I was in Windsor for the weekend and in my guest house was a Russian guy, we got talking and it turned out he was visiting his daughter who was at University. This Russian was in Afghanistan during the war employed as a pilot for the Soviet air force, he showed me a few pictures of his squadron while he was over there.
What he told me I’ll never forget, he explained that the reason they invaded the place was because they had received intelligence that the Americans were planning an invasion in the early 80’s and the Soviets wanted to get their hands on the goodies first!. I asked him why the place seemed to be so important to so many Countries. I remember him laughing and asking me ‘you mean you don’t know’.
The Country has the richest oil and gas fields in the world and the Americans had been trying to build the Trans Afghan pipeline since the early 1990’s but have been refused it by the Taliban.

George Bush senior tried to strike a deal with the Taliban in the early 90’s but the Taliban refused and ever since the Americans have been itching to get into the area to get the pipeline moving. Seems strange that after 911 it was concluded that the people responsible were in Afghanistan, in fact it was concluded within 24 hours of the twin towers coming down that the perpetrators were in Afghanistan. I would say that was a  very quick response considering!!!
Usually before you point the finger at anyone there is months of investigation but in this case all the proof was provided within 24 hours, exactly the same as the Kennedy assassination. In the words of Donald Rumsfeld ‘We need a new Pearl Harbour’

There is no doubt in my mind what so ever that our boys are dying out there to protect that pipeline. Occupying foreign territory does not in anyway prevent terrorism in your own Country; such terrorists could just as easy plan attacks from within Pakistan or any other Middle Eastern Country.
One of the other reasons for being there is the biggest supply of Minerals the world has ever seen.

The Helmand province in which the British serve has one of the largest Uranium fields that the world has ever seen besides cooper and iron.

So if you can read about all this stuff on the internet then why can’t your MP or the Prime Minister do exactly the same? The answer is quite simple, your MP has to tow the party line and remain quiet about all this stuff because if he doesn’t he’ll be in hot water. They know what’s going on but they daren’t say a word.
The real people who run the world are the ones building those pipelines and mining those minerals, the same people that own 90% of the world’s media such as newspapers and television, the people that started the greed machine.
‘To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men’ – Ella Wilcox.
MP’s, I wouldn’t **** on any of them if they were on fire.
Our boys are dying for greed and nothing else.
Finally, listen to this video, listen to it very carefully, it tells a story of how things are in this world and when you’ve listened to it listen to it again. Jim Garrison in the film JFK talking to a military/CIA informer. Probably one of the most important pieces of information ever to come out of a film. Oliver Stone received death threats because of it.
The people of whom Mr X speaks are the same people that brought down the twin towers. Bin Laden is just another Oswald.
