Afghanistan: The shape of things to come

The invasion of Afghanistan was a core strategy of the capitalist NWO. On one level it was a part of NATO’s encirclement of Russia, which also outflanked China. On another level, it was an attack on Islamic militancy. Besides driving the Taliban from power, it was a gun in the back of Iran and was the point of pivot to the destruction of Iraq. On the home front, the “War on Terror”, which was also a kulturkampf on non-capitalist values, was the ideology underlying the liberal totalitarian war on a free society.

With its failure a lot of birds are coming home to roost.

All those 50 countries which blithely signed on to the invasion have suddenly woke up to the fact that there are on the losing side. A consequence they never thought possible when they jumped on the imperial bandwagon.

For the US, the consequence may be bankruptcy. Post 2000 its role as the world’s rent-a-cop has cost it 6.4 Trillion, of which 1 Trillion is interest alone. Ever since Vietnam, the MIC has not wanted to make its wars even less popular by increasing taxes. They paid for the war in Vietnam by printing money, but that cost them Bretton Woods. Since then they have put it on the card.

Instead of an imperial outpost, there is now an Islamic block, stretching from Pakistan, never happy about its northern regions being used as a US bombing range, up to the former Soviet regions and across to Iran. There is no doubt about the attitude of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. When Russia was weak, the NWO pried concessions out of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, it was from bases in these countries and by authorized overflights, that the invasion of Afghanistan was accomplished. Now that Russia is regaining its strength, they are returning to the fold, never happy at the slaughter of their co–religionist Palestinians or Iraqi. Russia’s stance on Syria looms large in this and it is no co-incidence that the Russian led initiatives on Syria have their forum in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana.

Although China prefers to stay in the background, they have had their negotiations with the Taliban, whose politic abandonment of the Uighur liberation movement has dealt a blow to the NWO campaign to paint the Chinese as anti-Muslim.

Far from being in the background, Russia is taking a leading role in the recognition of the Taliban, as Afghanistan is as strategic as ever. They have been in negotiations for months and are now moving quickly. A day after Putin’s talks with Tehran, the Taliban announced a 70% reduction in taxes on Iranian fuel. To achieve stability, the Taliban need to deliver and fuel costs had doubled in the 6 months preceding their takeover. While they don’t have the money the US had, the Russians are going to make sure Afghanistan has stability, as this will weld together a political and economic alliance that can stand against the capitalist NWO.

Russia has the military might. China has the economic might. The Iranians have 10% of the world’s oil reserves. They have an oil pipeline to Kerman and a gas pipeline to the border with Turkmenistan. When these reach China the petro-dollar is dead.
