There is hope and progress in Afghanistan, despite the Deep State Naysayers and their propaganda outlets.

Afghanistan is a FAILED STATE.

It was a failed state when it existed in hermit-like conditions during the Cold War, extremely poor and isolated, depending on Pakistani largesse and even having border skirmishes with them at the same time.

It was a FAILED  STATE under the Communists with Soviet Occupation. 1978-1989.

It was a FAILED STATE under the CIA controlled Mujaheddin. 1989-1994.

It was a FAILED STATE under the CIA controlled and run Taliban. 1994-2001.

No surprise and true to form its been a FAILED STATE SINCE 2001 under American military occupation, where the USA has spent approaching $1 trillion on the books expenditure, PRETENDING to fight the CIA run 'Controlled Opposition' Taliban with their AK-47 and RPG's.

You see, you need 21st Century STATE of the ART soldiers armed with STATE of the ART EQUIPMENT, and $1 trillion dollars and 19 years to deal with a ragtag CIA controlled Militia made up of teens and desperate outta job farmers (untrained). 

But the ensuing 19-year turkey shoot of the teenagers, and farmers was not fake.

The imagination ponders and goes in several conspiratorial directions. 

and the Taliban are still there, perched safely in Quetta, spouting nonsense scripted by Langely, their master.

But the USA SHOULD leave fully, militarily, as soon as possible with 1500 still there.

Because.....

1. The USA under the 'Bear Trap' plan from July 1979, by Globalist Zbig Brezinski first started backing Islamic Mujaheddin over and above other competing anti-Communist forces in Afghanistan from 1978.

2. This was followed by the USA decision to create the Islamic Taliban from 1994. Consolidate the country for the USA.

3. Then in 2001, the False Flag of September 2001 carried out by Israel, and sections of the Deep State. Blamed on Afghanistan for harbouring the CIA patsy OBL. Yes, and so why punish the Afghan people for 19 horrible years for harbouring a CIA fugitive Tim Osman? What is American proportionality, or Jew proportionality of Justice?

whilst the USA extended their stay, it was well known in global security circles that OBL had left Afghanistan in November 2001...........because the CIA told him to go to neighbouring countries.

4. Then converting Afghanistan into a big dirty 18th-century style British colonial Opium Plantation, with exports around the world, using the logistics of the USA military. 

5. Then there were the Nuremberg War Crimes, committed against pure hapless innocents.

6. The 100,000 dead civilians since 2001, as collateral damage.

7. The sheer bad faith of running a failed NARCO-STATE, employing criminals for hire to run the country for the empire.

8. The massive CORRUPTION, where suitcases upon suitcases of tax $ disappeared into the bank accounts of GCC banks......making private contractors and military officers rich.

NO, the USA must leave completely as soon as possible........with the walk of shame shuffle outta of the country.

Normal Diplomatic rules apply, and Marines should guard the USA embassy in Kabul.

We however don't want a repetition of 1991, when the Soviets stopped supporting the KABUL COMMUNIST government, and the CIA Islamic Mujaheddin marched in and carried out a massacre of good people.

The Kabul government must be supported with MONEY, MATERIALS, AND WEAPONS.

Under the 'Mostaque doctrine' missiles and planes with a very long reach can also support the Kabul government from outside the country.

Deep organisational liaison must be established with the civilian heads and military of Kabul.

Continued training and upgrading of bureaucrats and security personnel can be made for the Kabul government, from outside the country.

Cease ALL diplomatic communication with the Taliban.

Nobody should care what the Taliban wants, needs and agrees to ( over and above the desires and needs of ordinary Pashtun and non-Pashtun men and women)

Insist on the Taliban's removal from Quetta.

AND FINALLY, yes a token NATO force headed by Turkey with Kosovo and others can guard the airport, and provide reassurance to those Afghans who remember 1991.

I'm sorry Afghanistan will continue to be a FAILED STATE.

But, its not the USA Empires job to save failed states. Noble as it may sound.

A percentage of the 40% Pashtuns will welcome the Taliban, but the 60% of the population who are not Pashtuns will not.

The Satanic GLOBALIST CIA must at all costs be kept out of the region.

The MOSTAQUE DOCTRINE

 .

.

.

.

I wrote about this topic a few years ago.

How a modern EMPIRE, in the 21st century with billions of security needs, real or existential, should conduct itself. 

This theory and doctrine levitates around the orbit that it is IMPOSSIBLE to control everything, and you don't need to be in the scene of the potential action through military bases, in order to effectively manage it in the best interests of the USA, as a leviathan security state.

The GLOBALISTS may desire the USA to have 1,000 military bases around the world, and 1,000's more CIA nests.

The cheerleaders of the defunct British Empire may desire the USA to have 1000 military bases around the world.

The cheerleaders of the defunct Roman Empire may desire the USA to have 1000 military bases around the world.

Israel cheerleaders of the defunct 'Yinon Plan and Eretz Israel' (1982) may desire the USA to have 1000 military bases around the world.

But in the age of EMP, LASER WEAPONS, STEALTH PLANES, JET CARGO PLANES, SPACE CAPABILITIES, ICBM'S, NUCLEAR SUBMARINES, AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, satellites and super-computers.....the strategic thinkers of the ROMAN, BRITISH and Israeli empires are out of touch and out of date.

AND, invariably American military bases abroad especially, become cesspools of extreme corruption that BASTARDISES the fighting ability of the American armed forces. They become detached from American civil and criminal law, and with time exists in their own bubble of crime and corruption. The Romans also had this problem, and they solved this by CONSTANTLY moving around the Legions. This is not possible with the 1000 American military bases around the world.

US Allies Set to Leave Afghanistan Months Before Biden’s September Deadline

Most countries could be out of Afghanistan by July

by Dave DeCamp at antiwar.com


Many of Washington’s NATO and other coalition allies in Afghanistan are quickly leaving the country, and most are expected to be out well before the September 11th withdrawal deadline set by President Biden, Stars and Stripes reported on Friday.

The Netherlands has begun pulling its troops out, and the Dutch Defense Ministry said last week that the withdrawal should be finished by the end of July. Austria, a non-NATO country, is also expected to have its troops out by sometime in July.

Portuguese soldiers who were stationed to protect the Kabul airport are expected to be out by the end of May, although some high-ranking officers will stay a bit longer. Some countries have already left altogether, including New Zealand, Croatia, and Spain.

Germany, whose troop numbers were higher than any other country besides the US, is expected to be one of the last countries to leave. Berlin had roughly 1,000 troops in Afghanistan before the withdrawal started. German officials have said that a July 4th deadline to get out was being considered.

The rapid withdrawals could be an attempt to avoid any renewed attacks from the Taliban. Because President Biden broke the US-Taliban peace deal by pushing back the original May 1st withdrawal deadline, the Taliban has threatened to start attacking foreign troops again, but so far, they have refrained from doing so.

A report from Afghanistan’s Tolo News said that the US was in talks with the Taliban to push up Biden’s September 11th withdrawal deadline to sometime in July. Earlier this week, US Central Command said the withdrawal process was somewhere between 13 and 20 percent complete, which means the US could be on track for a July pullout.

While the US and NATO are removing their troops, the Western powers are looking to maintain influence and plan to continue supporting the Afghan military financially, and the US will likely maintain some sort of covert presence at the very least. NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said Friday that the alliance will train Afghan forces outside of Afghanistan, an option that is also being considered by the US.

Major sanctions, imposed by Jewish Trump... to be lifted soon against CIA puppet mullah Iran.

This is important.

As soon as possible.

Netanyahoo and Ahmedjew-in-dad getting into the fake faggot fight to raise their political profiles.

Iran’s Rouhani Says US Has Agreed to Lift Major Sanctions

by Dave DeCamp at antiwar.com

On Thursday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the US agreed to lift most major sanctions on Iran during the latest round of nuclear talks in Vienna. He said only “minor issues” need to be worked out in the fifth round of negotiations which will begin next week.

“The talks in Vienna are about minor issues. They have accepted to lift sanctions on Iran’s oil and shipping sectors as well as sanctions on the central bank and others,” Rouhani said during a televised cabinet meeting.

Rouhani’s comments offered the most optimistic assessment of the Vienna talks to come out of Iran. 

Up until this point, the Biden administration has been refusing to lift all non-nuclear-related sanctions, dragging out the Vienna talks as the two sides negotiate what sanctions the US will lift and what will be acceptable relief for Iran.

The Trump administration imposed an enormous number of sanctions on Iran. Some were implemented over Tehran’s nuclear program, while others were put in place over claims of terrorism and alleged human rights abuses. The sanctions on Iran’s central bank and state shipping company, which Rouhani mentioned, are considered “terror” sanctions.

The fact that Iran is negotiating at all is a concession in itself since the US is the party that violated the JCPOA. 

Iran’s presidential elections are upcoming in June, and Rouhani is expected to be replaced with a more hardline candidate who might not be patient and willing to negotiate with the US.

Turkish Oil Wrestling

 .

.

.

.

Turkish oil wrestling originates from the ancient Greeks.

Turkey itself is an interesting country and an important country.

In the West reside Latins, probably Greeks and to the East IRANIAN people.

This is more or less confirmed by the extensive modern census of the Republic of Turkey in 1937. Round-headed Latins to the West, with the hand gestures and Long potato, headed TALLER people to the East.

Authentic ethnic Turkic from the Steppe Altai Mongolia probably constitutes a mere 7-8% of the population.

Thus Turkey is not Turkish ethnically.

As with most countries, you have other ethnic groups residing in the country:

Celtic  Germans and Arabic.

Modern Turkey was created by the International Jews using their local agents.

The Rothschilds of London

The Young Turk movement

The Doenme

The Jewish Bolsheviks in Russia provided vital modern weapons to Ataturk during the Turkish liberation war 1920-1923 against Greece, without which Turkey would have remained a very divided country. 

It is very intriguing how the Rothschilds backed Deonme Ataturk and his modern nationalist movement, whilst the British state was the most aggressive in opposing Ataturk's Republic including sending assassins to kill him....and stationing a large number of an unsustainable expeditionary force in Thrace.

Hegelian Dialect.

Turkey is now under the rule of yet another Deonme, the crazy-eyed Erdogan, a Rothschild puppet trained and sustained by the CIA.

Since the late 1970's the Greater Middle East has suffered from radical CIA Islam. This idea originated from Rothschilds London and as the policy of Balkanising the Greater Middle East through the weapon of religion, and of course, increase sympathy and support for Israel. Us versus the savages.

NATO Turkey has played a vital enabling role in this genocidal crime against the people of the Greater Middle East, along with the American Empire with its CIA/State Department.

Through NATO Turkey 100,000 of Arabs have died, and millions of refugees .....nearing 70 million.

NATO Turkey the killer of innocent civilians.

Deonme Turkey has with outside help introduced a deviant form of CIA political Islam to destroy the country.

It is not gay to put your hand down your opponent's oily greasy trousers, in order to grab his balls.

Despite the Jews, Turkey is becoming a remarkable country that edges towards France in popularity for global tourists. There is something special about the country.

How The Military Slow Rolled Trump

By Moon of Alabama

Axios has a series of deep dives into the last two and a half months of the Trump administration. Yesterday it publish Episode 9: Trump's war with his generals which explains how a weak Trump was pushed and tricked into approving policies which were contrary to his own preferences and (political) instincts:

Once in office, though, Trump's ambitions to withdraw from Afghanistan and other countries were subdued, slow-rolled, and detoured by military leaders.

Trump was not assertive enough to use the power of his office to get things done. 

He also was not smart enough to beat the deep state in its own game.

As Kelley Vlahos of Responsible Statecraft comments:

This is an important read, which also includes new speculation about whether Gen. Milley was actively working against the civilian leadership in the Pentagon during this period. Interestingly, while Trump was railing about “stop the steal” he wasn’t doing what everyone had accused him of doing on the military side: he wasn’t using Macgregor, Miller, et al., to stay in office. Rather, he seemed to believe that following through with his pledge to “end forever wars” would be the ultimate revenge against Esper, Milley, and Generals H.R. McMaster and Jim Mattis. Too bad he did not achieve this one post-election fantasy.

Yep.

Nuremberg WAR CRIMES, GENOCIDE and Crimes against humanity by the American Empire of a 1000 military bases around the world, and $1.5 trillion annual real SECURITY EXPENDITURE (Chalmers Johnson)

 .

The analysis posted below is incorrect in the sense that it does not, for diplomatic reasons, highlight the full power structure apparatus that has allowed for the war crimes committed by the American Empire since 1945. 

Russia is not an empire, no military bases abroad.

China is not an empire, no military bases abroad.

At the top of the GLOBALIST FOOD CHAIN is the Rothschilds of London.

(Not surprisingly      The UK is one of the worst affected countries from the fake COVID-19 ushering in gun-toting 1984 like marshal law and gulag like restrictions-----'YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY COMRADE, YOU CANNOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE', 

and the resulting fake economic downturn with an economic contraction of 12% of the real GDP in the space of 9 months IN 2020          and THE 90% Rothschild designed SERVICE BASED ECONOMY--shaped  so by Maggie Thatcher (1979--1990), and her puppet master Victor Rothschilds and the gaggle of Joooos in her cabinet)

Naturally, very naturally the Criminal UK STATE reacts Yessa massa saaaab to every crazy JEWEY Rothschilds whim that they can conjure up in a lazy afternoon)

Vietnam, a poor banana republic seems not to have any COVID-19 cases, and the economy is doing rather well, on the cusp of being the next Tiger economy. 

Below them are the Rothschilds Globalists emissaries who have been built up by the Rothschilds to act as veils for the Rothschilds hand.  Georgi Schwartz (George black aka George Soros) and Rupert Murdock and so on.

Below them are the local national representatives of the Rothschilds, and in the USA it's the Rockefellars, Koch brothers, Mark Zukerberg, Wall street more generally, MIC and the Deep State and so on.

Between 15-30 million people have been killed by the American empire since 1945......in poor countries and people of colour by the CIA and the Pentagon, directly and indirectly....and indeed as of now in 2021    70 million global refugees have resulted from the wars of the American Empire.

BUT, the CIA and corrupt Pentagon do not initiate policy on their own but require authorisation of the President (The CIA and corrupt Pentagon however do extensive lobbying through the MSM, and their tools puppets embedded in the administration)

The lines between Presidential power and CIA authority were blurred by Obama a CIA groomed puppet whose mother was a CIA field operative.

China Blasts US Military Interventions in Human Rights Report

The report said the US was responsible for 81% of the world's armed conflicts between 1945 and 2001

Dave DeCamp Posted at antiwar.com

In the face of constant attacks by US officials over alleged human rights abuses, China released a report on Friday that blasts the US for its many military interventions that have created humanitarian disasters.

The report, titled “Severe Humanitarian Disasters Caused by US Aggressive Wars against Foreign Countries,” was released by the China Society for Human Rights Studies (CSHRS), which falls under China’s State Council Information Office.

“The majority of the aggressive wars were launched by the US unilaterally. They resulted in mass casualties and destruction of property and led to appalling humanitarian catastrophes. Such foreign interventions lay bare America’s selfishness and hypocrisy (IN THEIR LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY SAVE FOR TRUMP,” the report reads.

The report said that from the end of World War II to 2001, the US was responsible for 81 percent of the world’s armed conflicts. “According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II in 1945 to 2001, among the 248 armed conflicts that occurred in 153 regions of the world, 201 were initiated by the United States, accounting for 81 percent of the total number,” the study reads.

The report examined statistics of seven armed conflicts the US was involved in, from the Korean War to recent intervention in Syria. CSHRS said that besides direct military involvement, the US has also “intervened directly or indirectly in other countries’ affairs by supporting proxy wars, inciting anti-government insurgencies, carrying out assassinations, providing weapons and ammunition, and training anti-government armed forces.”

Leave Afghanistan, let the people be after 41 years of foreign intervention and meddling--and Narco trade.

A Global Demand to 35 Governments: Get Your Troops Out of Afghanistan 

David Swanson at antiwar.com

The governments of Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mongolia, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, UK, and US all still have troops in Afghanistan and need to remove them.

A very happy looking USA 'warrior' inspecting the Afghan cash crop of the Empire, and the $1 trillion narcotics market of the USA managed by the CIA, and Pentagon.

These troops range in number from Slovenia’s 6 to the United States’ 2,500. Most countries have fewer that 100. Apart from the United States, only Germany has over 1,000. Only five other countries have more than 300.

Governments that used to have troops in this war but have removed them include New Zealand, France, Jordan, Croatia, North Macedonia, and Ireland.

We plan to deliver a big THANK-YOU to every government that removes all of its troops from Afghanistan, along with the names and comments of every signer of this petition.

The American 'Warriors' carrying Afghan heroin into C-130 transport planes destined for the USA, if not Iran, Turkey, Kosovo, Russia, Ukraine and Europe.--the enemy countries for the GLOBALISTS.

We plan to deliver a demand to remove all troops to every government that has not done so, along with the names and comments of every signer of this petition.

The U.S. government is the ring-leader, and the bulk of its killing is done from the air, but – given the deficiency in democracy in the US government, which is now on its third president who promised to end the war but hasn’t – it is critical that other governments withdraw their troops. Those troops, present in token numbers, are there to legitimize behavior that could otherwise be recognized as lawless and outrageous. A government lacking the courage to reject US pressure has no business sending any number of its residents to kill or risk dying in a US/NATO war.

This petition will be signed by people in each nation involved in the war, including the nation of Afghanistan.

Please sign the petition, add comments if you have anything to add, and share with others.

If you want to be part of delivering the petition to a particular government, contact World BEYOND War.

Here’s the petition:


To: Governments with Troops Occupying Afghanistan
From: YOU

We, the people of the world, demand that every government with troops still in Afghanistan remove them.

We thank and applaud those governments that have done so.

Please spread the word.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India

.

.

.

.

I'm not dredging up the long-forgotten past to claim victimhood, sympathy or to embarrass certain parties.

The criminal Rothschild run UK STATE, with what was at one time the largest empire, does not have a monopoly on genocide, war crimes, extermination, predatory disaster capitalism that starved 10's of millions specifically in India, extreme racism of natives in their own country...and extreme religious bigotry as a justification of the preceding crimes (We are doing Gods' work).

I'm doing it for Afghanistan, the country next door which has on and off been part of India, and so intertwined with the history of India, even though geographically it is considered part of Central Asia.

I consider myself as a Pashtun in spirit born in Bangladesh. Bangladesh historically experienced waves upon waves of Pashtun rulers, or Pashtun's working for Turkic masters in Bengal converting a lapsed waning Buddhist final part of India into Islam.

The Mongol EMPIRE was appalling, committing mass genocide in Northern China, Turkic Central Asia and Russia. It is well documented. This aspect of Mongol history is overlooked, and instead, Mongol uncivilisation of drinking fermented goats/yak milk, throat singing and military skills are lionised. 

The Spanish EMPIRE was appalling, committing mass genocide in North, Central and South America. It is well documented. This aspect of Spanish history is overlooked, and instead, Spanish uncivilisation of flamenco, plucky smart Europeans Christopher Columbus 'discovering' America for the West, and Imperial Spain, Christianity, Predatory Capitalism Plantations and military skills are lionised. 

NAZI Germany...was appalling, committing mass genocide in......

The British Empire was different from the above in that the horrible crimes of the British Empire were hidden from the British public and the wider world. Propaganda from Hollywood to Newspapers, literature, the media played a critical part in this. The Evil British Empire cared about its image, in a way the above 3 Empires did not.

• There was a moral justification to encourage the Scottish highland foot soldiers and ordinary working-class Englishmen to fight for Empire--they had to fight, massacre, destroy and kill for the greater good....to civilise the natives; for Jesus and for loot, free bounty.
• When the British Empire got going, it was also the age of enlightenment, of enquiry through reason and logic,,,,,and the expansion of Parliamentary democracy. Thus in this modern sophisticated society, there was a large body of educated men who would object to the moral absolutism of empire, genocide in their countries name, mass looting, mass institutional racism in a society which was after all the first to abolish slavery. TO OVERCOME THEIS BARRIER A VERY SOPHISTICATED VEIL WAS COVERED OVER INDIA, where the British public received very little news of what was really going on in a society ruled by 500 pliant Indian semi-autonomous Maharajahs, and 100,000 British soldiers and bureaucrats. Tea and cucumber sandwich, splendid pageants, processions and images of plaint grateful Indians serving the Empire, and receiving dollops of British civilisation. Everything was calm and happy.

Hollywood Parody-mocking of from the flower power sixties of/about  Hollywood movies from the 1920's, especially 1930's 1940's and 1950's and the PORTRAYAL of the evil British Empire as a glorious spiffing Jolly good show, by Hollywood. 

At another level it could be a film about Satyajit Ray, India's greatest movie director, and why he couldn't get any support in Hollywood for his pet project to make a movie about Aliens visiting earth (Sci-fi)....'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and especially 'ET', ALLEGED to have been plagiarized by Hollywood/Spielberg (Though very appropriately invited to London for negotiations of his ideas, plots, the dialogue was ultimately sent off with racism and ridicule by Hollywood and notably Peter Sellers) Satyajit Ray left 60's London bitterly and vowed never to work with 'Westerners' until Sir Richard Attenborough gently coaxed him out of his sullen stupor, and the two collaborated with the 'The Chess Players' 1977 with Ray as the Director and Attenvborough acting as Lord Dalhousie. Or at another level the racist Monopolistic idea that ONLY Jews could make good Sci-fi movies in the USA. 

Yes, Hindi commercial movies are filthy smelly awful and Westerners from the UK can come in and make even better Hindi Masala movies than the locals, 'Slum DOG millionaire'. 2008, which wins 8 Oscars from Hollywood. So there!

The USA is an empire with 1000 military bases around the world, with full-spectrum dominance as its goal and PNAC as its guiding light.

It is an evil Empire, that is committing a lot of evil crimes, unbeknownst to ordinary Americans. 

The USA possess the best propaganda machine in the world and is allied with Western media in EUROPE and the wider world (Japan, South Korea, Qatar, Singapore etc) 

The USA, the leader of the Pack is committing crimes in Afghanistan, the most significant aspect of which is Opium cultivation and the processing of it into heroin to export to Afghan neighbours, and ALL around the world, using American military logistics, and in cooperation with mafia networks in Iran, Central Asia, Russia, Ukraine and Europe....and of course into America, which kills Americans. 

All the top brass peacocks from FIELD Marshal Milley Cyrus, Mad Dog Mattis who planned the invasion of Afghanistan in the 1990's and Trump hero Mike Flynn who has served in Afghanistan, down to your basic American lieutenant know about this Urban Legend, but like any good Mafia foot soldiers remain silent. This is exactly what the Evil British Empire did in India, exporting Opium to China with disastrous consequences for that Great civilisation. Along with CIA death squads killing Afghan kids for fun, and importing ISIS CRISIS ACTORS from Syria/Iraq to keep the pot boiling. It is not a surprise that this American created Failed State of 20 years yearns for the USA to stay to sustain the Global Narco trade, bribery, kickbacks and the free money from the American taxpayer to buy their fealty....with massive corruption of the $1 trillion spent on the country by Afghans and of course plucky Americans.

When the British arrived in India, the country had experienced a very long civil war and the product of Mughal over-extension. It was specifically the fault of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and his devotion to orthodox Islam and religious zeal which resulted in him spending the better part of his grinding futile reign (1658-1707) invading the 5 Deccan Sultanates, The Hindu Maratha Confederacy and finally the Southern Hindu Vijaynagar Empire. Emperor Aurangzeb was rarely in Delhi, ruling the country dealing with mundane civil matters, and watching warily what the Persians were up to in the West. Administratively he was the best Mughal Emperor, but when you have war in your mind all the time, and enemies to crush...sustaining a military of 700,000 fighting a constant war for half a century, even with the biggest economy on earth and biggest military budget, was unsustainable.

Out of these 3 invaded entities, due to the leadership of a charismatic leader, despite the foreign occupation, death, desolation, destruction the Marathas came out on top of the situation. When the Persians under Nader Shah invaded and defeated the Mughals, it spelt the end of the Mughal empire and the ascendency of the Marathas. The Marathas themselves were then defeated by the Afghans in 1761.

So when the British arrived on the scene the country was without the power to defend the country, exhausted by war 1660-1761, and rudderless.

• Occupation by a foreign power using its military was/is never good for the occupied country, using whatever creative excuses they may have to invade a country wether in the 1750s or 2001, based on the false flag of 9/11. In India, the excuse was the Black Hole of Calcutta....initially. After full conquest, it was the civilisation movement of the savages.
• To be a third-class citizen in your own country. Destruction of self-identity and the value of heritage. 
• Divide and conquer.....the propagation of minority identity.
• Introducing religion into national social and political life.
• 30 million dead from Predatory Capitalism
• The theft of $45 trillion worth of money from India.
• De-industrialisation
• The permanent arrival of mass poverty in India
• Using India's resources and personnel to fight the Empires wars around the world, and subjugate other nations
•

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India

And lied about it.


Jason Hickel
Dr Jason Hickel is an academic at the University of London and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts at Aljazeera, Qatar.




There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence.


New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.




It’s a staggering sum. For perspective, $45 trillion is 17 times more than the total annual gross domestic product of the United Kingdom today.

How did this come about?

It happened through the trade system. Prior to the colonial period, Britain bought goods like textiles and rice from Indian producers and paid for them in the normal way – mostly with silver – as they did with any other country. But something changed in 1765, shortly after the East India Company took control of the subcontinent and established a monopoly over Indian trade.

Here’s how it worked. The East India Company began collecting taxes in India, and then cleverly used a portion of those revenues (about a third) to fund the purchase of Indian goods for British use. In other words, instead of paying for Indian goods out of their own pocket, British traders acquired them for free, “buying” from peasants and weavers using money that had just been taken from them.

It was a scam – theft on a grand scale. Yet most Indians were unaware of what was going on because the agent who collected the taxes was not the same as the one who showed up to buy their goods. 

Some of the stolen goods were consumed in Britain, and the rest were re-exported elsewhere. The re-export system allowed Britain to finance a flow of imports from Europe, including strategic materials like iron, tar and timber, which were essential to Britain’s industrialisation. 

Indeed, the Industrial Revolution depended in large part on this systematic theft from India.

On top of this, the British were able to sell the stolen goods to other countries for much more than they “bought” them for in the first place, pocketing not only 100 percent of the original value of the goods but also the markup.

After the British Raj took over in 1858, colonisers added a special new twist to the tax-and-buy system. As the East India Company’s monopoly broke down, Indian producers were allowed to export their goods directly to other countries. But Britain made sure that the payments for those goods nonetheless ended up in London.

How did this work? Basically, anyone who wanted to buy goods from India would do so using special Council Bills – a unique paper currency issued only by the British Crown. And the only way to get those bills was to buy them from London with gold or silver. So traders would pay London in gold to get the bills, and then use the bills to pay Indian producers. When Indians cashed the bills in at the local colonial office, they were “paid” in rupees out of tax revenues – money that had just been collected from them. So, once again, they were not in fact paid at all; they were defrauded.


Meanwhile, London ended up with all of the gold and silver that should have gone directly to the Indians in exchange for their exports.


This corrupt system meant that even while India was running an impressive trade surplus with the rest of the world – a surplus that lasted for three decades in the early 20th century – it showed up as a deficit in the national accounts because the real income from India’s exports was appropriated in its entirety by Britain.

Some point to this fictional “deficit” as evidence that India was a liability to Britain. But exactly the opposite is true. Britain intercepted enormous quantities of income that rightly belonged to Indian producers. India was the goose that laid the golden egg. Meanwhile, the “deficit” meant that India had no option but to borrow from Britain to finance its imports. So the entire Indian population was forced into completely unnecessary debt to their colonial overlords, further cementing British control.

Britain used the windfall from this fraudulent system to fuel the engines of imperial violence – funding the invasion of China in the 1840s and the suppression of the Indian Rebellion in 1857. And this was on top of what the Crown took directly from Indian taxpayers to pay for its wars. As Patnaik points out, “the cost of all Britain’s wars of conquest outside Indian borders were charged always wholly or mainly to Indian revenues.”

And that’s not all. Britain used this flow of tribute from India to finance the expansion of capitalism in Europe and regions of European settlement, like Canada and Australia. So not only the industrialisation of Britain but also the industrialisation of much of the Western world was facilitated by extraction from the colonies.

Patnaik identifies four distinct economic periods in colonial India from 1765 to 1938, calculates the extraction for each, and then compounds at a modest rate of interest (about 5 percent, which is lower than the market rate) from the middle of each period to the present. Adding it all up, she finds that the total drain amounts to $44.6 trillion. This figure is conservative, she says, and does not include the debts that Britain imposed on India during the Raj.

These are eye-watering sums. But the true costs of this drain cannot be calculated. If India had been able to invest its own tax revenues and foreign exchange earnings in development – as Japan did – there’s no telling how history might have turned out differently. India could very well have become an economic powerhouse. Centuries of poverty and suffering could have been prevented.

All of this is a sobering antidote to the rosy narrative promoted by certain powerful voices in Britain. The conservative historian Niall Ferguson has claimed that British rule helped “develop” India. While he was prime minister, David Cameron asserted that British rule was a net help to India.

This narrative has found considerable traction in the popular imagination: according to a 2014 YouGov poll, 50 percent of people in Britain believe that colonialism was beneficial to the colonies.

Yet during the entire 200-year history of British rule in India, there was almost no increase in per capita income. In fact, during the last half of the 19th century – the heyday of British intervention – income in India collapsed by half. The average life expectancy of Indians dropped by a fifth from 1870 to 1920. Tens of millions died needlessly of policy-induced famine.

Britain didn’t develop India. Quite the contrary – as Patnaik’s work makes clear – India developed Britain.

What does this require of Britain today? An apology? Absolutely.

Reparations? Perhaps – although there is not enough money in all of Britain to cover the sums that Patnaik identifies.

In the meantime, we can start by setting the story straight. We need to recognise that Britain retained control of India not out of benevolence but for the sake of plunder and that Britain’s industrial rise didn’t emerge sui generis from the steam engine and strong institutions, as our schoolbooks would have it, but depended on violent theft from other lands and other peoples.

President Biden's chance to build a tangible legacy for himself and be different from Globalist Trump

Iran should not take up the FULL ENERGY of the Biden Presidency, in the manner of Trump especially in the critical years of 2018/2019 when he should have fully geared up for a second term, but instead unceremoniously vented energy against Iran, egged on by fascist right-wing messianic Likudnik Netanyahu, the Godfather of Jared. 

False flag drone attacks, false flag tanker attacks, terrorism inside Iran courtesy of MEK, Iranian Generals on diplomatic missions to Iraq to negotiate with the Saudis assassinated, and the Sunni ISIS let loose which itself claimed terrorist attacks against Iranian military parades in the South, and of course PJAK of the Kurds attacking border installations and personnel. 

The President of the USA bitched for Netanyahu, and his numerous election bids in Israel, and provide distraction and cover for his corruption charges, with money from Adelson. 

According to the IMF since 2016, measured by PPP, the USA became the 2nd largest economy (China $31 trillion, USA $21 trillion--2021). This is very very consequential, not in the sense that China is a threat or it was in any way China's fault, but that it is the duty of SERIOUS HARDHEADED American leaders to restructure the American economy so that it performs better, and the right economic formula's are created to get the USA out of its economic quagmire, high unemployment, underperforming industries, small businesses collapsing, rising debt, hyperinflation around the corner, economic collapse around the corner......infrastructure, education, healthcare and so much more that has been neglected that matter to the common man....and the COVID-19 Pandemic from which 500,000 Americans have died, and 28 million infected. The worst affected country in the world. 

The time to blame others for American problems has gone. 

The CIA installed the Iranians Mullahs in power in 1979, as part of the 'Arch of Crisis', 'Clash of Civilisation' policy from the Rothschilds of LONDON, ENUNCIATED through Bernard Lewis at Princeton University. The purpose was to attack the Soviet UNION with its 20% Muslim population (payback for Vietnam) ......I would require hours upon hours to list the crimes of the barbaric Medival CIA mullahs have inflicted on the good Iranian people. 

After the horrors of 42 years of CIA Mullah Iran, the USA should not inflict further torture and degradation on the good Iranian people.

The USA should go back to the JCPOA IMMEDIATELY, in the same manner, Trump quixotically left it. It is a combined International Treaty agreed by significant world powers and based on multilateralism, not American exceptionalism. 

It was the laborious product of John Kerry and his team, in what was one of the longest drawn-out negotiation in American diplomatic history (so it wasn't lightly entered into).

But quixotic narcissistic Trump, with a deep racist hatred for Barack Hussein Obama, 'The MUSLIM' WAS going to go against it simply because it was seen as one of his major international successes.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR: whilst the mullahs never wanted nuclear power (Its was the Shah's dream, egged on by the USA since 1974) 

Israel falsely has been accusing Iran of nuke bombs and the allegation that they are just 6 months away, since 1983!!! Even when the CIA through Russian agents funnelled nuke bomb blueprints under 'Operation Merlin' in the 1990's the mullahs did not fall for it. 

When the Iranian Supreme Leader makes a Fatwa and declares publicly REPEATEDLY  that Nuclear weapons are unIslamic to his hardcore domestic followers, we really should believe him. Nuclear weapons are not something the Medival Mullahs can comprehend in their world view. When CIA Saddam started using Chemical weapons supplied by the USA, from 1984 against Iranian troops in the Iran/Iraq war, Ayatollah Khomeini stated that Chemical weapons use were unIslamic, and despite 4 further years of a gruelling war, mullah Iran did not use any Chemicals against Saddam's soldiers.

However the Israeli 'cry wolf' scenario has created paranoia in the Greater Middle East and as a result, many states are now acquiring nuclear power clandestinely, and legitimately.  

Egypt is acquiring a vast nuclear plant at $25 billion being built by the Russians.

Turkey is acquiring nuclear plants, and they may even have a 'surge program.'

Saudi Arabia wants to buy nuke bombs from certain powers, or the means to build nuke bombs from certain powers.

And so on, and so on, and so on. THE ISRAELI FAKE CRY WOLF SCENARIO OVER IRAN.......is creating CURIOSITY AND FATEFUL CONSEQUENTIAL  ACTION IN THAT DIRECTION IN REALITY IN THE GREATER MIDDLE EAST.........'Well if the mullahs are going for nuke bombs as the USA/Israel accuse, then we should have nuke bombs toooo'

In 2003 the Mullahs were elated that the USA had finally toppled CIA Saddam.

The USA reciprocated by inviting elite Iranian Quds forces into Iraq, to guard the holy Shia sites in Najaf and Karbela, and give reassurance to the 65% Iraqi Shia majority.

It was in 2003 that the mullahs offered a Grand Bargain to the USA covering everything, including much of what the USA wants now.

But Bush II in 2003 was still intoxicated with the Pentagon Blitzkrieg plan of 7 countries in 5 years, including Iran. A historic opportunity lost.

Iran in good faith invited IAEA inspections of a very intrusive nature, of go any where and see everything snap inspection (nothing to hide in the first place), running for 18 years the longest in IAEA history.

Since that time of 2003, USA leaders have made dire threats against Iran, dire threats of war, simultaneously while IAEA inspections were going on, terrorism inside Iran, assassinations and sanctions.

Uncivilised illegal barbaric behaviour against Iran.

Why should Iran cooperate with IAEA inspections if ALL they get back in return is more threats and real terrorism inside Iran? What is the benefit? What is the rationale? 

Since 2003, Iran has built closer relations with Russia and China. The compulsion to cooperate with Washington is much less than it was in 2003.

Why Is Biden Creating Himself An Iran Quagmire?

By Moon of Alabama.

Since he came to power President Joe Biden has done nothing to revive the nuclear agreement with Iran. The JCPOA was breached by the U.S. in 2018 when then-President Trump left the deal and renewed a 'maximum pressure' sanction campaign against Iran. For over a year Iran stuck to its commitment under the deal. It then began to gradually exceed some of the technical limits of the deal. Those steps were legal under the JCPOA because the U.S. had left the deal. All of them are reversible.

In response to the murder by Israel of Iran's top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh the conservative parliament passed a law that compels the moderate government under the Iranian President Rohani to further reduce its adherence to the JCPOA deal. As part of this, the Iranian government will soon reduce the ability of the international inspectors from the IAEA to observe parts of its civilian nuclear program. As the Ambassador of Iran to the UN announced:

Gharibabadi @Gharibabadi - 16:11 UTC · Feb 15, 2021

Act of Parliament will be executed on time (23 Feb) and the IAEA has been informed today to ensure the smooth transition to a new course in due time. After all, goodwill brings about goodwill!

 

1. The Biden administration demands that Iran fully come back under the restrictions of the deal (whilst the USA under Trump carried out unrestricted sanctions--The USA CAN ignore the JCPOA deal carte blanc but Iran cannot), 

2. to agree to an extension of some restriction under the deal 

3. and to agree to talks about its missile programs (nothing to do with JCPOA) 

4. and its role in the Middle East (Nothing to do with JCPOA). 

Only after that, says the Biden administration, would the U.S. remove some of its sanctions.

The demands are nonsense and have absolutely no chance of being fulfilled.

It is the U.S. that is in breach of the deal. Biden could simply reenter it by lifting the sanctions Trump imposed. Iran had promised that it would follow through by coming back into the technical limits of the deal. But instead of agreeing to that the Biden administration is trying to create a more complicated process by coordinating its negotiation positions with Saudi Arabia, Israel and other opponents of the deal:

Israel’s envoy to the United States suggested Tuesday that Israel may not consult with the new administration on its steps to reenter [JCPOA].

Biden has pledged to engage with allies and partners, including Israel, before making any moves to join the deal. But Reuters reports that some Israeli officials believe consulting with the Biden administration could backfire for Israel “by falsely signaling its consent for any new deal that it still opposes.”

 

During informal talks held by the Trump administration with Iran the U.S. had made similar demands as Biden is now making. Iran has rejected all of them.

Iran's missile force, built independently, is a deterrence against potential aggressors in its region.

 

Since the Iranian revolution 43 years ago the country has been under various weapon embargoes. Its airforce has therefore no modern fighter jets. The Arab states in the Gulf Cooperation Council on the western side of the Persian Gulf have in total some 450 modern fighter jets in between them. Additionally the U.S. is keeping at times a hundred or more of its own fighter jets in the region.

Iran has little ability to defend itself from a concerted bombing campaign. The only thing it can do is to threaten a response by extensive missile strikes on regional targets. Its missile force is thus a sheer necessity. To suggest that Iran should limit its missile force is a demand that would leave the country defenseless. (AND INDICATES that Washington wishes to attack Iran some time in the future.... per 7 countries in 5 years blitzkrieg plan from the Pentagon in the late 1990's)

I won't paste too many 'German' faces as that might be bait for the Israeli zealot wacko's

A further prolonging of the time limits for restrictions under the JCPOA deal is likewise not agreeable. The JCPOA was negotiated in a long process during which both sides made concessions. That the U.S. is now coming back to unilaterally demand longer restrictions without offering anything new in return is unreasonable.

Iran will not agree to any negotiation with the Biden regime unless the U.S. returns to the deal first. Its Supreme Leader has spoken:

Khamenei.ir @khamenei_ir - 8:42 UTC · Feb 17, 2021

About the #JCPOA, promises were made by the other side. I am saying one thing: We’ve heard many promises which were broken & contradicted in practice. Mere words don't help. This time only action! Action! If the Islamic Republic sees action from the other side, it will act too.

Maureen O'Hara from Northern Iran

 

In May 2021 Iran will elect a new president. The moderate Rouhani has failed to revive the Iranian economy. Rouhani negotiated and agreed to the JCPOA but was then betrayed by the U.S. with new devastating sanctions which brought more economic pressure. The conservatives in Iran have already won the 2020 parliament elections. (Note: The 'moderates' in Iran are neoliberals. The more hard line 'conservatives' are social-democrats.) The conservatives will likely win the presidency. Currently the former 'hardline' president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, pictured below, has the highest voter approval of all potential candidates. Should the religious authorities allow him to run he is likely to win. U.S. diplomacy with Iran will then become even more difficult.

Another Noreen O'Hara on the right from Northern Iran.

It is hard to understand what the Biden administration is expecting to win by slow walking a return to the JCPOA.

• It practically guarantees that the Iranian side will become more hardline.
• Keeping up the sanctions also guarantees that Iran will make new moves to counter those. It has reliable proxies in the region and there are many U.S. aligned targets and interests that can be hit. If Iran can not export oil because of U.S. sanctions why should it tolerate that Saudi Arabia can continue to export?
• Without the U.S. rejoining the JCPOA Iran has all incentives to further increase its stockpile of enriched Uranium and to further increase its enrichment level. U.S. nuclear submarines run on 60% enriched Uranium. Why should Iran not build similar boats and enrich its stockpile to the necessary level? While Iran does not want nuclear weapons it could, like Japan, create and stockpile all the necessary ingredients. The time frame needed to become a nuclear weapon state would then be down to a weekend's project.
• There is no chance to further increase the pressure on Iran without co-operation from Moscow and Beijing. While the Biden administration has talked with both on Iran there is no sign that they would (again) agree to limit their trade with Iran. This especially as Washington has declared itself to be hostile to both of them.
• There is no reasonable way the U.S. can attack Iran or its nuclear program without risking intense damage to its own forces and to its allies in the region. Any attack would likely escalate into a wider war. Israel, a nuclear weapon state which is currently expanding its stockpile, would get involved and Iran's ally in Lebanon, Hizbullah, would use its missile force to destroy the economy of the Zionist entity.

Shaun O'Donnel the I of Persia.

The above has all been well known for months. By not immediately reentering the deal the Biden administration is committing diplomatic suicide as has been laid out by many commentators.

Eugene O'Malley, training up to fight the CIA's ISIS IN IRAQ....as a Shia who hates ALL Sunni 'al-CIA-duh'

The Biden administration could have had an easy early foreign policy win by simply ending the sanctions on Iran and by returning to the JCPOA. Instead it is now creating a quagmire for itself that will consume most of its foreign policy energy.

It is beyond me why it is doing so.
