Who's full of Crap? Not I, for I can document all of my postings

Please visit countercurrents.org, by clicking on my headline, where Ramtanu Maitra documents ALL of our powerful nation's foibles in more detail than I could EVER do: First, he tears former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's statement: "The last time we left Afghanistan, and we abandoned Pakistan, that territory became the very territory on which al-Qaeda trained and attacked us on on September 11th apart." It is important to investigate whether her statement is a valid assessment, or was made simply to rally those in Washington, who want the present administration to adopt the former British Imperial Policy and lead the United States into another Vietnam War (in which I served with honor, as opposed to the assholes who continue to believe that their "patriotic" rhetoric is sufficient to grant them an audience in front of the American voters. In fact, the "taliban" are a "laboratory product" of our imaginative CIA.
Before our intervention in Afghanistan, when the "Soviets" had invaded that country, money had flowed into that country from the west, and the Persian gulf. During that period, our "Saudi" friends had pumped out thousands of Afghan foot solders for the US, and Saudi-funded jihad against the Soviets. Much later, the world heard of a force, now called the "Taliban". The Taliban was created as a handmaiden of outside forces, including:
Saudi Arabia, which indoctrinated a group of Afghans by funding the establishment of thousands of madrassas inside Pakistan.
Te Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which acted at the behest of Islamabad to gain control of Kabul through a group of Afghans by funding the establishment of thousands of madrassas inside Pakistan.

Barack Obama is Preparing for War in South America!

Please click on the headline of this article to read the story of our reckless "Peace President's" intention to invade Venezuela: According to Mike Whitney and Eva Golinger, the "leadership" of the United States is extremely upset about many of the very real reforms that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has instituted in his country to improve the previously miserable lifestyle of his people: The 1999 Constitution, which was drafted, and written by the Venezuelan people, and later ratified through the popular referendum by 75% of Venezuelans, guarantees the rights to housing, education, healthcare, food, indigenous lands, languages, women's rights, worker's rights, living wages and a whole host of other rights that few countries seek to recognize on a national level.
Laws to implement these rights began to surface in 2001 with land reform, oil industry redistribution (Venezuela is a major world oil producer), tax laws and the creation of more than a dozen social programs - called missions - dedicated to addressing the basic needs of Venezuela's poor majority. Within two years, illiteracy was eradicated in the country.

Top Journalist: "We are intellectual prostitutes"

John Swinton, the foremost journalist of his day, was asked to toast an independent press at a New York banquet given in his honor. His response was clear and forthright: "There is no such thing, at this stage of the history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone."
"The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting of an independent press? We are the jumping jacks - they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men."

Stunning Statistics About our War in Afghanistan

Contractors now comprise 69% of the Department of Defense total "workforce" in the war our country is waging in Afghanistan. At present, there are 104,000 Department of Defense "contractors" actively fighting there, earning huge salaries, of which our soldiers can only dream!
In a hearing of Senator Claire McCaskill's Contract Oversight subcommittee, it was determined that this is the highest ratio of contractors to military personnel in US history!
From June 2009 to September of this year, there was a 40% increase in "Defense Department contractors" in Afghanistan.
Your TAX DOLLARS at work.

Malalai Joya: A Woman Among the Warlords.

It takes a woman to enlighten us about our "Afghanistan Strategy". Our tragic involvement in that miserable country is part of a much larger geopolitical strategy, which entails our country's decision to establish a beachhead in Central Asia to monitor the growth of China, surround Russia, control vital resources from the Caspian Basin, and provide security for US mega-corporations, who see Asia as the "market of the future". Our potential "victory" in Afghanistan means that a handful of weapons manufacturers, oil magnates, and military contractors will become filthy-rich by sacrificing the "worthless" lives of our soldiers, sailors, and marines.
She sums up her important work by documenting the incontrovertible fact that the multi-billion dollar profits which will soon be reaped by our giant corporations through the unnecessary sacrifices of the men and women serving selflessly in our Armed Forces. She admonishes us that the people of Afghanistan are fed up with the corruption of the Mafia-state of Hamid Karzai and the warlords and drug lords backed by NATO, and furthermore, that the real motive of the US and her allies was to convert her country into a military base in Central Asia, and the capital of the world's opium drug trade.

War Correspondent: "Liberals Are Useless"

Chris Hedges, whose credentials include solid credentials as a war correspondent in every conceivable trouble spot in our tortured world is now as sick as I have been for a long time about the bleating of our many sheep who continue to enjoy being led to the slaughter for the benefit and perverse entertainment of our many so-called "statesmen" on this planet.

What a Taliban Triumph and US Defeat Would Mean for America

Patrick J. Buchanon, one of the increasingly few conservative supporters of President Obama has enlightened us with his well-considered verdict about our president's proposed "surge" in Afghanistan: America is deepening her involvement in a war in its ninth year, with no end in sight. As a former advisory team leader in Vietnam, who had the honor of dodging quite a few "enemy" bullets and mortar rounds, I was glued to my television when "our" president made his startling announcement after he had promised those who had the foolishness to vote for him, that he would be somehow different, than the others, who have betrayed our great country.

It seems there are only lies, damned lies, and the worthless promises of politicians, and the voters who are foolishly trust these conniving politicians do not care one bit about our great country, or the welfare of our foolish and trusting citizenry, who actually believe the outrageous lies of our thieving politicians.
