Afghanistan, victim of corruption in the United States.

<body> U.S. Politicians Shifting Enabling Blame For 9/11 from Themselves to Afghanistan After terrorists succeeded in their forewarned terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, President George Bush and his shills in Congress approved and started a far-off war with Afghanistan. A war that has become an even more deadly quagmire for the United States. At this writing, it is going into the ninth year with no end in sight. The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, killing thousands of Afghans by high-level carpet bombing, was in retaliation for having allowed al Qaeda members to settle in remote mountainous areas. This sole reason for starting a war with Afghanistan, that will easily last a decade and longer, is far overshadowed by the people in the United States whose corrupt actions contributed far more to the ability of four groups of al Qaeda members to so easily hijack four airliners and kill nearly 3,000 people. Paradoxically, the Afghans had far less blame enabling the four groups of terrorists to carry out their murderous attacks on 9/11, then certain people in the United States, described here. The documented corrupt acts of people in the United States had more to do with the successful hijackings of four airliners on 9/11 then the people of Afghanistan. Among the sites that provides evidence are the following: 9/11 index. Comparison of guilt between Afghan people or corrupt acts of certain people in the United States. Al Qaeda mole providing advance information of major terrorist attacks. Enablers to the easy success of four groups of terrorists on 9/11. Additional comments on the Afghanistan quagmire.

President Barack Obama Comments June 23, 2010, Gen McChrystal On June 23, 2010, President Obama fired Gen. Stanley McChrystal as U.S. and Nato commander in Afghanistan. That firing was in response to comments made by McChrystal to a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine that were then printed. Excerpts from President Bush's press conference statements are made here with this writer's comments on some of the remarks. Boomerang Effects from Conduct of U.S. Politicians The 9/11 attack was not launched from Afghanistan but from European locations. During the period from 1979 to 1989, while the Soviets were in Afghanistan, the United States trained and armed people who are now called al Qaeda and the insurgents. Among the architects of this policy was the CIA's Robert Gates, now secretary of defense. The Afghan leader at that time requested Soviet assistance to defend against religious rebels secretly armed by the United States. (Details in the book, Defrauding America.) By the government's own admission, there are less than 100 al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan, and they are mostly low level personnel. Most of the al Qaeda operatives and leaders are in Pakistan. In December 2009, there were about 68,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, with 30,000 to be sent by mid-2010. Against 100 al Qaeda operatives! The war now is against the Taliban, called insurgents for defending against the invading U.S. forces. The Taliban, consisting of mostly the Pashtun tribe, constitute the majority of the Afghan population. This radio Sunni Islamic group took over Afghanistan from 1996 until late 2001, at which time they were removed from power by the U.S., NATO, and warlord forces in an operation euphemistically called Operation Enduring Freedom. They then regrouped in 2004 when the Bush administration started the war against Iraq. Refusal to address the hostile, subversive and other misconduct conducted by U.S. politicians and the CIA that is responsible for the worldwide hatred for Americans. History of inept reasoning by U.S. politicians. Such as: Fallacy of argument that U.S. forces will leave when Afghan Army is built up and ready. Illiterate personnel being counted upon to fight fellow Afghans. History of Afghan Army personnel disappearing shortly after being issued artillery weapons. Wishful thinking, expecting illiterate personnel to fight for a corrupt central government that has never been recognized for decades by the Afghan people. The last major recognized government was that one, in the 1970s, that sought to westernize the country, and was destabilized by covert CIA arming of the radical religious fanatics. Fallacy of argument that U.S. is in Afghanistan to deprive al Qaeda of country from which to launch attacks against the United States. Al Qaeda has operatives in many other countries, including Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, plus fringe groups throughout the world Stabilizing Afghanistan. The country has been destabilized for centuries, and now with U.S. forces in the country, seen as invaders, the insurgency can only increase. The lunacy argument of U.S. conduct winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people: Carpet bombing from high altitude, killing thousands. Military personnel−and U.S. mercenaries−firing missiles from drones into crowds of people so as to kill one suspected insurgent. "Uplifting conduct" by U.S. guards at the American Embassy in Afghanistan, AmorGroup, engaging in sex parties, fondling each other, and urinating upon each other. Mercenaries for the United States randomly killing people, entire families, and never paying for their crimes. President Barack Obama stated his decision in November 2009 to send more U.S. troops into Afghanistan was based upon the need to deny al Qaeda members a base. But al Qaeda is openly located in Yemen and Somalia, with members in other countries. That establishes the rationale for sending U.S. troops into Afghanistan totally without merit. Further, the argument given to have any U.S. troops in Afghanistan is to train the Afghan Army. But it has been shown time and again that the Afghans recruited for the Afghan Army are totally unreliable. The U.S. is in a Catch-22 no-win and positive loss situation. Again! Some thoughts on Afghanistan from Boris Korczak, a former CIA/KGB double agent," and friend of this writer, who infiltrated the KGB on behalf of the CIA. Among the Thousands of Afghan Children Killed by U.S. Attacks From high-flying U.S. bombers, or missiles fired by brave U.S. military personnel safely in Nevada, thousands of Afghans have been killed, including children and infants. To Americans, this is the way to win the hearts and minds of the people in countries they invade! Murder by remote control—U.S. style! The Sordid Enablers of the 9/11 Hijackers There are other issues to conduct that enabled the hijackings and nearly 3,000 people on 9/11−and the two wars that followed. If understood, it shows the horrifying ripple or butterfly effects from seemingly far and remote corrupt acts. The details and documentation can be found in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. Some highlights are the following events: First, it is necessary to understand several basic and obvious areas of blame for the conditions that made possible the 9/11 hijackings. FAA. Culture and conduct of certain people in the government's aviation safety offices. It was this group that had the responsibility for ordering the known measures that would have prevented years of easily preventable airline hijackings. This culture is detailed in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, with a long list of crashes their conduct made possible, along with the thousands of related deaths. DOJ. The culture and conduct of key people in the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice. Years of involvement in murders, covering up for corruption in the CIA and other government entities, retaliation against people seeking to expose corruption in government (crimes against the United States), compounded by covering up advance information on several major terrorist attacks−that subsequently did occur−including the 9/11 hijackings, in order to prevent exposure of serial murders involving a key FBI supervisor. (Details of the latter subject in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda, and then History of Aviation Disasters: 1950 to 9/11.) CIA and other Intelligence agencies. Not much attention has been given to their role in enabling the 9/11 hijackings to go unaddressed. It can be assumed that the history of corrupt conduct by people in the CIA had some role in generating the hatred for the United States and not acting on addressing these matters. Details of this culture are in the books, Defrauding America and Drugging America. All of these books are authored by former federal agent Rodney Stich with the help of dozens of other insiders. Lone Person's Futile Efforts To Halt Decades of Tragedies After the details of the above are understood, and only then, attention can be given to the next series of events that played a more deadly role in the 9/11 hijackings that led to even worse consequences. The 30 years of unusual efforts by a former federal agent, Rodney Stich, who sought to expose the tragedy-related corruption by people in the FAA and Department of Justice. These attempts were blocked by constant attacks and harm upon the former federal agent. Examples of some of the attacks upon him, apparently orchestrated from within the U.S. Department of Justice: Initial use of CIA-FBI-associated lawyers and law firms to file sham legal actions knowingly blocking efforts to continue exposing the high level corruption. Over 50 lawyers and law firms involved continuously from 1982 to 2005. At the initial local level, this involved complicity of about a dozen California judges. Involvement in cover-ups, obstruction of justice, and retaliation, by federal judges, from 1980 to 2005. Stich filed papers in the federal courts to report the ongoing corruption constituting federal crimes, as specifically required to be reported−and received by federal judges−under the federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 USC § 4. To block Stich and his coalition of other government agents and insiders from reporting the crimes against the United States, federal judges issued a series of unlawful and unconstitutional orders permanently barring the former federal agent from even filing any papers in any federal district or appellate court. In this way, federal judges blocked the reporting of federal crimes that continued the sometimes fatal consequences, and continued in effect the misconduct that would enable the 9/11 hijackers to carry out their deadly schemes. The injunctions also blocked Stich from exercising federal defenses against the unlawful and unconstitutional actions of the hoard of lawyers. When Stich learned from his many CIA and other sources additional areas of corruption subverting national security, he again attempted to comply with the federal crime reporting statute. He filed a federal action to report these matters. In response, federal judges and federal prosecutors, acting in unison, charged Stich with criminal contempt of court−based upon the prior unlawful and unconstitutional order barring him access to federal court, and which was intended to block the reporting of federal crimes involving key federal personnel. Federal judges and federal prosecutor David Levi (now a federal judge at Sacramento), denied him a jury trial. The people involved in obstruction of justice crimes then held Stich guilty, and sentenced him, at 67 years of age, to federal prison for six months. To insure that he could not continue his exposure actions upon release, federal judges and Department of Justice personnel corruptly, unlawfully, and unconstitutionally, seized and liquidated the $10 million in assets that Stich used to fund his exposure activities. Unlawful and unconstitutional orders were rendered barring Stich from filing objections to the seizure. When he did file an objection, the filing was unlawfully unfiled and Stich was again charged with criminal contempt of court. Members of Congress and the media were informed of these criminal acts throughout the period, and chose to cover up. See also the harm he suffered at the hands of thugs in key government positions in an effort to halt his efforts. The Consequences of the Above Conduct The ripple effects of the above corrupt conduct, that aided and abetted the corrupt and criminal acts in the government's aviation safety offices and in the Department of Justice, were deadly. For instance: The long series of preventable airline disasters continued to occur (though they became far less frequent after the earlier every-few-month disaster that had been occurring. The criminal activities and consequences in other areas continued. (Details in Defrauding America and Drugging America, and others in the series of books.) Due to the above conduct: The hijacking of four airliners on 9/11 occurred, enabled by the corruption in the FAA and the Department of justice−and that corruption aided and abetted and covered up by the people and groups identified above. The 9/11 hijackings then, assisted by the culture among U.S. politicians−then led to the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, thousands of killed and brutally maimed American GIs, and hundreds of thousands of killed Iraqi and Afghan citizens. In 2010, the trial was scheduled for people thousands of miles away that played a small role in the planning for the 9/11 hijackings. It could be argued that their hatred of the policies by U.S. politicians drove them to be a part of those brutal attacks. People in the United States, in positions of trust described at this site, who engaged in a conspiracy, engaged in corrupt acts criminalizing government institutions and the laws and constitution of the United States, have gone free. This is a testimonial to the culture of corruption that continues to undermine the United States. The effect if their conduct, upon 9/11, the two ongoing wars, does not end there. They have corrupted basic institutions and human rights in many other area; harm upon Americans, and enabled harm to vital U.S. interests. Having said all this, it can be assumed that the mostly unread, blissfully happy with the obsession with trivia, American public will continue to remain indifferent! Suggest reading the file on the 9/11 terrorist trials. Unfortunately, with all of this information--as much of it was available to the American public for the past 30 years−-none will be show any concern, making the events of 9/11 possible by their blissful indifference. The consequences from other tentacles of the culture of corruption was more widely felt in the housing and financial frauds. (Read America's Housing and Financial Frauds by Rodney Stich) Afghanistan a Haven for Fraud: Using U.S. Taxpayers' Funds Showing more of the incompetence, Afghanistan (as well as Iraq) was shown to be a haven for financial fraud, involving U.S. and foreign personnel. Totaling over a billion dollars, this is money that American taxpayers must borrow—mostly from Communist countries—and which could have been used for America's unemployed and for useful U.S. projects. A June 25, 2010 Wall Street Journal article reported billions of dollars flown out of Afghanistan: Corruption Suspected in Airlift of Billions in Cash From Kabul. KABUL—More than $3 billion in cash has been openly flown out of Kabul International Airport in the past three years, a sum so large that U.S. investigators believe top Afghan officials and their associates are sending billions of diverted U.S. aid and logistics dollars and drug money to financial safe havens abroad. The cash—packed into suitcases, piled onto pallets and loaded into airplanes—is declared and legal to move. But U.S. and Afghan officials say they are targeting the flows in major anticorruption and drug trafficking investigations because of their size relative to Afghanistan's small economy and the murkiness of their origins. Excerpts from another Wall Street Journal article (June 28, 2010), titled, "Corruption Suspected in Airlift of Billions in Cash From Kabul," stated: KABUL—More than $3 billion in cash has been openly flown out of Kabul International Airport in the past three years, a sum so large that U.S. investigators believe top Afghan officials and their associates are sending billions of diverted U.S. aid and logistics dollars and drug money to financial safe havens abroad. The officials believe [people] who have sent millions of dollars of their money abroad include high-ranking officials and their associates in President Hamid Karzai's administration, including Vice President Mohammed Fahim, and one of the president's brothers, Mahmood Karzai. [U.S. officials purpose in sacrificing the lives of American GI's were to establish a honest government—another indication of naïveté, "stupidity," by America's leaders!]. Restoring the credibility of the Afghan government is a central tenet in the American counter-insurgency strategy. Combating corruption [that had existed for centuries] by the government is now as important a priority as actually fighting insurgents. This carries significant risks: many of those believed by U.S. officials to be involved in shipping money out of the country are key Afghan power brokers who are important allies in the fight against the Taliban. Over the past year, U.S. and other Western officials have grown alarmed by the ways in which corruption was fueling support tor the Taliban and indications that the massive infusions of poorly monitored Western dollars were helping foster a culture of graft. [In addition}, hundreds of millions of undeclared dollars, maybe billions, are being carried across Afghanistan's porous border with Iran and Pakistan, where a number of hawalas [money exchangers] have branches. Investigative reports two years earlier described the doling out of pallets stacked with $100 bill being given to Afghans and Iraqis without any records being kept. Meanwhile, in the United States, people, families, were living under bridges and millions were without any income. Incompetence at every level in the U.S. government and starting of two senseless wars that contradicted everything stated by U.S. politicians. A normal person would wonder, after the deadly debacles from invading Korea and then Afghanistan, with nearly 100,000 dead Americans (110 miles of dead Americans if laid out head to toe, why the trivia-obsessed American doesn't wake up to be taken for fools and expendable cannon fodder! Continuation of the Deadly Hoax By President Barack Obama Upon his election to the office of President, Barack Obama continued to support the war in Afghanistan that was started by his predecessor, President George W. Bush, but ordered an increase in the number of American military personnel. Simultaneously, he stated he would order troop withdrawal to start in mid-2011—signaling to the Taliban—who were never the "enemy" until President Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan. The announced withdrawal date signaled to everyone opposing the Taliban that the Taliban would soon be again in control of Afghanistan. President Obama stated as the need to continue the war: The need to deny al Qaeda a haven in Afghanistan. Reports stated that there were less than a hundred al Qaeda in Afghanistan (versus 130,000 U.S. troops), and that most al Qaeda members were in Pakistan; and other available havens were Somalia and Yemen. So, that argument was totally invalid. The U.S. needed to first build up the Afghanistan police and military forces before U.S. troops could leave. But after a decade in Afghanistan, the facts show that: A third of Afghan police and troops deserted within a year, and usually with their weapons, which were then either sold to al Qaeda or the Taliban, or kept as they joined either groups, sometimes for higher pay. The Afghan police and troops could not be relied upon to fight. The Taliban or al Qaeda infiltrated themselves as members of the Afghan police or military force. Showing that relying upon building a reliable Afghan police or military force was as juvenile as other decisions. A June 28, 2010, Wall Street Journal article by Mr. Ajami, professor at the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, stated of the Afghan forces ability to take over--a key part of President Obama's criteria to pull U.S. forces out of Afghanistan: The "conditions on the ground" are a euphemism for the ability of the Afghan forces to assume the burden of security for their own homeland. No serious assessment holds out the promise of a capable Afghan regime and a devoted national army that would fight for the incumbent government. Afghanistan is what it is, a land driven by corruption, weighed down by illiteracy and hardened by years of betrayal and abdication. The "Afghanization" of the war is a utopian idea. Complicity of the American Public That Supported The Invasion or Voted for President Bush's Second Term The American public has been victimized for decades by the culture endemic in the United States. they are routinely dumbed down by media people, kept uninformed, and blissfully happy with all forms of trivia, while a literal Trojan horse form of corruption is destroying what was once a great country with a high living standard. Duped in decades of housing and financial frauds, including the latest, and victimized in countless other ways, the unread, uninformed, and easily manipulated American public continues to be blissfully unconcerned, being taken repeatedly for gullible people! Examples in related books. The most pathetic are those who voted for President's George W. Bush's second term, especially those who lost loved ones in Afghanistan or Iraq and who voted for Bush the first time, or worse, the second time. Their vote brought, or kept in office, the president whose serial lying enabled the death of their loved one.

They bring together the various pieces of the puzzle to better understand the overall picture, and why the same conditions continue year after year.
