Hier noch ein Zitat von Pepe Escobar, in dieser Region immer gut informiert.
"By one of my dissident Deep State connections - commenting on my latest column. As you can see, he’s way more hardcore than the great Ray McGovern:
'The US Military stands humiliated in the heroin war that they willingly fought out for twenty years at taxpayer's expense while such a humiliation is not hard to bear as the CIA, Military, DIA reaped the billions of dollars heroin profits largely as individuals.
'Their sorrow is that the goose that laid the golden eggs died. We are not saying that there were not geopolitical considerations involved in Afghanistan but that they were secondary. The DIA, CIA and the military were happy with their heroin profits as well as heroin runners, local police departments in most major American cities who were paid off by the Mafia distributors.
'Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9-11 nor anyone else from that burying place of Empires, this time the burial ground of the US, and so the Afghanistan alibi of Secretary of State Blinken justifying the invasion was a lie.
'Yet this does have more geopolitical considerations than the Saigon moment, as the US Embassy there was evacuated as the US won that geopolitical game by their new alliance with China that ended the justification of the domino theory supporting our effort in Vietnam. Now the natural resource prize of Afghanistan will go to Russia and China this time around, with their rare earth and other natural resources. And this is just the beginning as not only America's Empire but America itself is unraveling.'"
