Cancel Culture Round Three Get Out?

[Note: Since this article was written, the organizers of “Rage Against the War Machine” have reversed their decision to withdraw their invitation for me to speak at the February 19 anti-war event in Washington, DC. They made this decision under pressure from many of the other speakers scheduled to attend who opposed my being removed from the event. This is the right decision. I recognize that being invited to speak at an event such as the one scheduled for February 19 is a privilege, not a right. I will do my utmost to ensure that my presentation is worthy of the occasion. I have no hard feeling against the organizers. However, the decision to kick me off the speakers list, after publicly announcing I would be speaking, sent a message to all those who promote “cancel culture” tactics that their methods work. This is a threat to everyone. Moreover, given the vicious and vociferous attacks that have been leveled against me, I believe it only appropriate that I respond by staying true to the emotions and mindset I had upon learning I had been removed, and which governed the tone and content of the article as originally written. Cancel culture cannot be allowed to prevail. Thank you again to those who supported me, and to the event organizers who have honored me by allowing me to be in the company of such esteemed individuals working in support of such a worthy cause.]

Back in early January 2003, I was involved in a project intended to be a last-gasp effort to head off a US-led war with Iraq. In December 2002, Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesperson, had articulated during a press conference that while the official US policy toward Iraq was regime change, this did not necessarily mean removing Saddam Hussein by use of force. Fleischer indicated that a significant change in behavior on the part of the Iraqi government could constitute “regime change.”

I picked up on that theme and reached out to the Iraqi government (keeping in mind I had addressed the Iraqi Parliament back in September 2002 in a successful bid to get UN weapons inspectors back on the job), and outlined a proposal based upon a six-point plan of action that would have the Iraqi government agree to changes in policy regarding disarmament, human rights, democracy, diplomacy, economy and peace.

Die politisch unkorrekte Wahrheit über das, was wirklich in Afghanistan passiert ist

Die politisch unkorrekte Wahrheit darüber, was wirklich in Afghanistan passiert ist

Die politisch unkorrekte Wahrheit über das, was wirklich in Afghanistan passiert ist

Viele Amerikaner könnten die großen strategischen Ziele ihrer Regierung in dieser Hinsicht für das Fehlen jeglicher Moral, Ethik oder Prinzipien halten, wenn man bedenkt, dass sie jetzt weitgehend mit den Zielen Chinas, Pakistans, Russlands und sogar der Taliban übereinstimmen, obwohl die Öffentlichkeit über die Jahre hinweg glauben gemacht wurde, dass alle vier ihre Feinde sind.

Afghanische Ambiguität

Der Durchschnittsamerikaner hat Mühe, sich einen Reim darauf zu machen, was im letzten Monat in Afghanistan geschehen ist, da sich alles so plötzlich entwickelt hat. Den meisten war klar, dass der Krieg schon lange verloren war und sich in einen so genannten „endlosen“ Krieg verwandelt hatte, aber nur wenige hatten erwartet, dass er so enden würde, wie er es schließlich tat. Fast nichts von dem, was die Biden-Administration tat, ergab für sie einen Sinn, und nur wenige haben eine Vorstellung davon, was die Zukunft dort bringen wird. In diesem Beitrag soll alles in „politisch unkorrekten“ Begriffen erklärt werden, damit alle es besser verstehen können.

Ein Vorgeschmack auf das, was kommen wird

Beginnen wir mit dem verblüffenden Ergebnis und erklären wir dann, wie es dazu kam. Die USA sind jetzt teilweise mit denselben Taliban, die sie offiziell immer noch als Terroristen bezeichnen, in ihrem gemeinsamen Kampf gegen das vergleichsweise größere Übel ISIS-K verbündet. Amerikas Nachkriegspläne für die Region sehen auch vor, dass sie sich auf Chinas Vorzeigeprojekt der Belt & Road Initiative (BRI), den chinesisch-pakistanischen Wirtschaftskorridor (CPEC), stützen, um ihren wirtschaftlichen Einfluss in Afghanistan und Zentralasien auszuweiten, obwohl sie sich offiziell in einem neuen Kalten Krieg mit Peking befinden.

Die „unheilige“ Anti-Terror-Partnerschaft zwischen den USA und den Taliban ist weder perfekt noch das, was einer der beiden ursprünglich wollte, sondern wurde in den letzten zwei Wochen des amerikanischen Rückzugs aus Kabul durch gemeinsame Interessen geschmiedet. Die Taliban schützten die Amerikaner vor diesen Terroristen, obwohl sie selbst von der amerikanischen Regierung offiziell als Terroristen bezeichnet wurden, weil sie hofften, dass Washington Afghanistan auch nach dem Ende des Krieges in gewissem Umfang unterstützen würde, wenn auch nur indirekt über internationale Organisationen.

Rapid Taliban Takeover Shows How Little US Understood Afghanistan

Wild Conspiracy Theory? The Truth Behind the Biggest Threat to the ‚War on Terror‘ Narrative

Wild Conspiracy Theory? The Truth Behind the Biggest Threat to the ‘War on Terror’ Narrative

Cynthia Chung

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.”

– Julius Caesar

The illegal invasion of Libya, in which Britain was complicit and a British House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee’s report confirmed as an illegal act sanctioned by the UK government, over which Cameron stepped down as Prime Minister (weeks before the release of the UK parliament report), occurred from March – Oct, 2011.

Muammar al-Gaddafi was assassinated on Oct. 20th, 2011.

On Sept 11-12th, 2012, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service information management officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyron Woods and Glen Doherty were killed at two U.S. government facilities in Benghazi.

It is officially denied to this date that al-Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization participated in the Benghazi attack. It is also officially denied that the attack was pre-meditated.

On the 6th year anniversary of the Benghazi attack, Barack Obama stated at a partisan speech on Sept 10th, 2018, delivered at the University of Illinois, that the outrage over the details concerning the Benghazi attack were the result of “wild conspiracy theory” perpetrated by conservatives and Republican members of Congress.

However, according to an August 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency report  (only released to the public in May 2015), this is anything but the case. The report was critical of the policies of then President Obama as a direct igniter for the rise of ISIS and the creation of a “caliphate” by Syria-based radical Islamists and al-Qaeda. The report also identified that arms shipments in Libya had gone to radical Islamist “allies” of the United States and NATO in the overthrowing of Col. Muammar al-Gaddafi. These arms shipments were sent to Syria and became the arsenal that allowed ISIS and other radical rebels to grow.

The declassified DIA report states:

“AQI [al-qaeda –iraq] SUPPORTED THE SYRIAN OPPOSITION FROM THE BEGINNING, BOTH IDEOLOGICALLY AND THROUGH THE MEDIA… WESTERN COUNTRIES, THE GULF STATES AND TURKEY ARE SUPPORTING THESE EFFORTS… THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION… THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME…” [emphasis added]

Another DIA document from Oct 2012 (also released in May 2015), reported that Gaddafi’s vast arsenal was being shipped from Benghazi to two Syrian ports under the control of the Syrian rebel groups. (…)

Dr. Gary G. Kohls: Why Do Good People Become Silent About the Documented Facts that Disprove the Official 9/11 Narrative … and others

September 9, 2001: Two Days Before 9/11, Global Research Was Born …

On the 9th of September 2001, the Global Research website at www.globalresearch.ca was born, two days before the tragic events of September 11.

We started up in late August with a handmade web design in FrontPage. A student in philosophy gave me a hand in drafting the home page and putting the project online.

On the morning of September 8, I took a two hour “crash course” on the use of file transfer FTP software from a young software specialist, who taught me how to upload articles to the website.

Among our first articles was a coverage of the events surrounding 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan on October 7.

From these modest beginnings, with virtually no resources, the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) has evolved into a dynamic research and independent media group.

The landscape of the internet has shifted dramatically during the 18 years we have been in operation. Over the last five years, freedom of expression has become a key issue, with censorship becoming more prevalent and insidious. The situation for independent media has changed significantly, and not for the better. Despite this, in the face of large corporations attempting to censor our content and curtail our traffic and revenue, we are still here (…)

By Dr. Gary G. KohlsThese “9/11 Truthers” have been unfairly labeled “conspiracy theorists” (a pejorative term invented by the CIA after the John F. Kennedy assassination in 1963 raised all sorts of skepticism doubting the official story blaming “the single shooter”).

9/11 after 18 Years. „Hard Evidence Cannot Prevail over a Transparent Official Lie“

Who Is Osama Bin Laden?

 

By Prof Michel ChossudovskyA few hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded without supporting evidence, that “Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation were prime suspects”. CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin Laden has the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.” Secretary of State Colin Powell called the attacks “an act of war” and President Bush confirmed in an evening televised address to the Nation that he would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”.

Fire Did Not Cause 3rd Tower’s Collapse on 9/11, New Study Finds

 

By AE911TruthDespite calls for the evidence to be preserved, New York City officials had the building’s debris removed and destroyed in the ensuing weeks and months, preventing a proper forensic investigation from ever taking place. Seven years later, federal investigators concluded that WTC 7 was the first steel-framed high-rise ever to have collapsed solely as a result of normal office fires.
