The U.S. may not have a physical presence inside of Afghanistan in the future, but the fear is that its economic sanctions may end up being more deadly than its armed forces. by Robert Inkalesh  Part 1 In keeping with President Joe Biden’s pledge to withdraw from America’s 20-year war in one of the poorest countries on earth, the U.S. government has yet to present any plan for future relations with Afghanistan, as it is reportedly scrambling to freeze Kabul’s wealth for fears of it falling into the hands of the Taliban.

And 20 years on the Taliban are back in control. In 2001, opium had almost completely been eradicated with 84,000 hectares under cultivation. By 201

While Western media covers up their credibility issues, these pseudo-experts and spooks have helped drive the dirty war on Syria.    by Kit Klarenberg   Part 3 - Citizen journalism and civil rescuers, made by the UK Foreign Office   The report’s reference to “local” – or opposition – media having broadcast one of the bogus videos supplied by de Bretton Gordon’s Taskforce is also conspicuous when considering that British intelligence may well have created the outlet, in addition to helping mock up the clips. Internal UK Foreign Office files released by a self-proclaimed hacktivist collective Anonymous in September 2020 reveal that ARK, a shadowy “ conflict transformation and stabilization consultancy ” headed by probable MI6 operative Alistair Harris, trained and equipped hundreds of citizen journalists in Syria over many years.  “ Activists ” were tutored in “ camera handling, lighting, sound, interviewing, filming a story, ” post-production techniques including “ video and sound edit
