How the US Funds the Taliban

advertisement

Welcome to the wartime contracting bazaar in Afghanistan. It is a virtual carnival of improbable characters and shady connections, with former CIA officials and ex-military officers joining hands with former Taliban and mujahedeen to collect US government funds in the name of the war effort.

In this grotesque carnival, the US military's contractors are forced to pay suspected insurgents to protect American supply routes. It is an accepted fact of the military logistics operation in Afghanistan that the US government funds the very forces American troops are fighting. And it is a deadly irony, because these funds add up to a huge amount of money for the Taliban. "It's a big part of their income," one of the top Afghan government security officials told The Nation in an interview. In fact, US military officials in Kabul estimate that a minimum of 10 percent of the Pentagon's logistics contracts--hundreds of millions of dollars--consists of payments to insurgents.

The Afghan intelligence service even offered a solution: what if the United States were to take the tens of millions paid to security contractors and instead set up a dedicated and professional convoy support unit to guard its logistics lines? The suggestion went nowhere.

Atrocious..criminal.Murder.

The bizarre fact is that the practice of buying the Taliban's protection is not a secret. I asked Col. David Haight, who commands the Third Brigade of the Tenth Mountain Division, about it. After all, part of Highway 1 runs through his area of operations. What did he think about security companies paying off insurgents? "The American soldier in me is repulsed by it," he said in an interview in his office at FOB Shank in Logar Province. "But I know that it is what it is: essentially paying the enemy, saying, 'Hey, don't hassle me.' I don't like it, but it is what it is."

Just doing business? Get our brothers and sisters out of these illegal conflicts. It constitutes murder and treason.Aiding and abetting the "enemy".

Who is the real enemy of the peoples of the world?

Would you prefer the Taliban or hardliners in Pakistan get a hold of nukes and test your theories?

We fund the Taliban.We protect the Opium/Heroin fields. CIA/NSA/NSC distributes/markets the product.All around the world. War expenditures and profit are an added bonus. It's all about the filthy Mammon/Money. For evil. To enslave,suffer and kill.

Just like they do with cocaine,contra's and central America and the such.Diamonds from Africa too...like the oil and other products fro Iraq and soon to be Iran.

'Presidential Secrets'--Former CIA Operative Chip Tatum Speaks

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4217457994226676654&hl=en#

The following conversation took place between Messrs. Harari and Young during the flight to Palmerola Air Base. The passengers were wearing headsets and speaking over the aircraft intercom system due to the high noise level in the helicopter. As the command pilot, I routinely monitor all conversations on our intercom. I did not advise our passengers that I was listening, or that I was recording the conversation.

From film (Minute 39:43)

Buddy: "Arkansas has the capability to manufacture anything in the area of weapons - and if we don't have it - we'll get it!"

Mike: "How about government controls?"

Buddy: "The Governor's on top of it, and if the feds get nosey - we hear about it and make a call. Then they're called off." He was looking around the countryside and continued, "Why the hell would anyone want to fight for a @!$%#-hole like this?"

Mike: Shaking his head in awe, answered,"What we do has nothing to do with preserving a country's integrity - it's just business, and third world countries see their destiny as defeating borders and expanding. The more of this mentality we can produce - the greater our wealth. We train and we arm - that's our job. And, in return, we get a product far more valuable than the money for a gun. We're paid with product. And we credit top dollar for product."

Buddy: Still looked confused.

Mike: "Look - one gun and 3,000 rounds of ammo is $1,200. A kilo of product is about $1,000. We credit the Contras $1,500 for every kilo. That's top dollar for a kilo of cocaine. It's equivalent to the American K-Mart special - buy four, get one free. On our side - we spend $1,200 for a kilo and sell it for $12,000 to $15,000. Now, that's a profit center. And the market is much greater for the product than for weapons. It's just good business sense - understand?

Buddy: "Damn! So you guys promote wars and revolutions to provide weapons for drugs - we provide the non-numbered parts to change out and we all win. Damn that's good!"

Mike: "It's good when it works - but someone is, how do you say, has his hand in the coffer."

Buddy: Responding on the defensive,"Well, we get our ten percent right off the top and that's plenty. GOFUS can make it go a long way." Mike:"Who is GOFUS?"

Buddy: "Governor Clinton! That's our pet word for him. You know they call the President 'POTUS' for 'President of the United States'. Well, we call Clinton 'GOFUS' for 'Governor of the United States'. He thinks he is anyhow.

Mike: "That's your problem in America. You have no respect for your elected officials. They are more powerful than you think and have ears everywhere. You should heed my words and be loyal to your leaders. Especially when speaking to persons like me. Your remarks indicate a weakness - something our intelligence analysts look for."

Buddy: "Aw hell, Mike. Everybody knows the Clinton's want the White House and will do anything to get it. That's why I'm here instead of someone else. We know about the cocaine - hell! I've picked it up before with Lasater when he was worried about going on Little Rock Air Base to get it."

So do I agree with the decision to murder more of our people and theirs under false pretexts?

And it wasn't and never have been isolated incidences...follow the money trail.

24 March, 1985

Attending the meeting were the following:

General Noriega - Panama

Mike Harari - Panama (retired Mossad)

Felix Rodriguez - U.S.

Joe Fernandez - U.S. (CIA)

General Gustavo Alverez - Honduras

William Barr - U.S.

Via Sat/Com link:

Oliver North - U.S. (National Security Council)

William Clinton - Governor of Arkansas

George Bush - U.S. Vice President

General Noriega and Mr. Barr greeted the aircraft when we arrived. The passengers adjourned to their meeting while I secured the aircraft. I was invited to join when I finished. Two Latin American soldiers set up the Sat/Com device and stood guard on the aircraft. I joined the meeting approximately thirty minutes later. When I arrived, the discussion was concerning the loss of over $100 million dollars worth of drugs and cash. The "Enterprise" was being drained. There were three Compaq Computers set up with operators, obviously working for Mr. Barr. There were approximately eight (8) administrative personnel correlating data provided by computer discs brought by the principles of the meeting. The discussions continued. It was obvious that the purpose of the meeting was to identify the source of the loss. The money flow was traced from Panama to several destinations in the U.S. Their Ohio source was ruled out early. Their Colorado source was also ruled out. That left Arkansas. It was discussed by the members that either Seal or Clinton were siphoning from the "Enterprise". At this point, my food was brought, so I moved to a separate table and ate. By the time I finished, Mr. Fernandez signaled me to join him. We went back to the aircraft and used the phone. He called Mr. North and told him that the loss was definitely occurring on the Arkansas drop. He said, "That means either Seal, Clinton or Noriega." (I thought it noteworthy that Mr. Fernandez added General Noriega to the suspect list.)

And so many other people die and suffer directly and indirectly as a result of this decision. Afghani children,women and men. Our children who are mislead to kill in Foreign lands.

Addicts,their families,the people they steal from,the money and resources that incarceration and addiction costs society...etc..the otherwise good man who is eticed ,baited and turned bad with the filth of the power of death and mammon.

No, no more.Lies or death or suffering.We are being awakened to the truth. And the truth will set us free.

The truth is setting us free! And the truth is even setting me and my family free in a personal way...after 11 years of me out in the "field" doing Elohim Adonai,Yeshua's work.

The revealments through the Holy Spirit are at every level and circle...though the evil is stubborn and does not want to let go of it's lie...the children have preferred the old wine long enough...for they were in ignorance. Now they will have new wine and they will be new wine skins...they will know.For they will all know how they have been sooo greatly deceived...even the elect...but they must change course with the new hearts Elohim Adonai will provide them.

The resistance and reluctance will fade and the brothers and sisters will know that this change can only come from Yeshua..for that will be the litmus test...the heart.

Thank you Corie for the friend invitation. Accepted.I liked the way your Bio was written.

It was honest and graced. That only comes from Elohim,El Elyon...the Father,Abba Yeshua ha Mashiach.

Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, 7 and that will be enough for us."
9
Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
11
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.
12
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.
13
And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14
If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.
15
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

7 [8] Show us the Father: Philip is pictured asking for a theophany like Exodus 24:9-10; 33:18.

Men have been priviledged to behold Elohim Adonai in human form before.They beheld His precious feet and ate and drank with Him.

9
Moses then went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel,
10
and they beheld the God of Israel. Under his feet there appeared to be sapphire tilework, as clear as the sky itself.
11
2 Yet he did not smite these chosen Israelites. After gazing on God, they could still eat and drink.

I know that you probably already knew this Corie..but it's for the benefit of those that have for so long been greatly deceived by the false doctrines and dictates of men...for their disenfranchisement and disempowerment...the defilement of their humanity through ignorance,suffering and death.

Our Abba has heard the cries of anger,outrage and anguish as sends forth His Spirit...a gift from Him,Yeshua to advocate and counsel and comfort.

7
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/john/john16.htm

But this gift is for the benefit of all...to prepare the children through the truth for the return of the Father.

He comes quickly....and not for the false doctrine of Cosmic Destruction but for Cosmic Transformation..yes it will be destroyed but not as Satan would want humans to think it would...through violence and murder. Quite the opposite will happen...new hearts and wine skins...

Thank you again for allowing me to get this message out in the form of a response to you.Peace be with us all.

"Ehyeh asher Ehyeh...I shall become who I am becoming..."
