War Fraud: The Great Lies Behind Imperial Warfare in the 21st Century
By Mark Taliano
The War On Terror and The War On Drugs are both fraudulent, and they are both related. In a classic example of reverse projection, the War on Terror is literally a War for Terror, and the War on Drugs is literally a War for Drugs.
Terror, coupled with the illegal trade in narcotics, particularly heroin, is enabling the orchestration, and funding, of illegal warfare which serves the interests of an international oligarch class as it destroys humanity.
The barbarity of the military operations conducted by the West is beyond the imagination of most domestic audiences, even when details are publicized. . . .

(3,163 posts)1. Well, I quite reading when I reached...
...this absurdity in the second paragraph.
"In Afghanistan, for example, drug-trafficking warlords such as Gulbuddin Hekmatyar were used to create extremist jihadist armies (mujahideen) to destroy the Soviet-protected socialist republic."
Enough said.

Role in the anti-Soviet resistance
During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Hekmatyar received large amounts of aid from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States. According to the ISI, their decision to allocate the highest percentage of covert aid to Hekmatyar was based on his record as an effective anti-Soviet military commander in Afghanistan.
