CIA’s Islamic Insurgency Has Destroyed Women’s Rights in Afghanistan & Spread POVERTY
Women’s Rights in Afghanistan: “Before” and “After” America’s Destructive WarsThe CIA Sponsored Islamic Insurgency (1979- )
The NeoCons’ agenda is not to “win the war” but to engineer the breakup of sovereign nation states, destroy their culture and national identity, derogate fundamental values and human rights. The strategic objective is to trigger political and social chaos, engineer the collapse of national economies, appropriate the countries’ wealth and resources, impoverish the entire planet including the American Homeland. It’s a mesh of weapons of mass destruction, covert intelligence operations, propaganda and “strong economic medicine”. The criminality of the US/NATO hegemonic agenda is beyond description. This short article focusses on Women’s Rights in Afghanistan “Before” and “After” the conduct of Washington’s “Humanitarian War” against Afghanistan, which commenced at the height of the Cold War in 1979. It was a carefully planned intelligence operation. The CIA was directly involved from the outset in recruiting and supporting the “Islamic brigades”. A second war and invasion of Afghanistan under US-NATO auspices was carried on October 7, 2001, four weeks after the tragic events of 9/11. Prior to the CIA-Sponsored “Islamic Insurgency” against the People of Afghanistan“Before”Unknown to Americans, in the 1970s and early 1980s, Kabul was “a cosmopolitan city. Artists and hippies flocked to the capital. Women studied agriculture, engineering and business at the city’s university. Afghan women held government jobs”.
Starting Under Reagan. Derogation of Women’s Rights. Destruction of an Entire Country“After”Osama bin Laden, America’s bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US-sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA-sponsored guerrilla training camp. The architects of the covert operation in support of “Islamic fundamentalism” launched during the Reagan presidency played a key role in launching the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT) in the wake of 9/11. Under the Reagan adminstration, US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of the Islamic “freedom fighters”. In today’s world, the “freedom fighters” are labelled “Islamic terrorists”. The Soviet-Afghan WarThe Soviet-Afghan war was part of a CIA covert agenda initiated during the Carter administration, which consisted in actively supporting and financing the Islamic brigades, later known as Al Qaeda. The number of CIA-sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000. USAID generously financed the process of religious indoctrination, largely to secure the demise of secular institutions and the collapse of civil society. In the Pashtun language, the word “Taliban” means “Students”, or graduates of the madrasahs (places of learning or coranic schools) set up by the Wahhabi missions from Saudi Arabia, with the support of the CIA.
Women’s Rights, Poverty and DespairThe media casually blames this on the Taliban, without acknowledging that Islamic Fundamentalism and the koranic schools had been imposed by the CIA. Public education was destroyed and the rights of women in a predominately secular society which took its roots in the 1920s were DESTROYED. This destruction is coupled with the massive impoverishment of an entire country. “Before” and “After”A Criminal Undertaking. Who’s Behind It?“A once prosperous country has been precipitated into extreme poverty and despair. It’s a crime against humanity. According to the UN, Afghanistan is currently experiencing extensive food shortages and famine. It should be understood that this war started more than 40 years ago in 1979 with the CIA recruitment of jihadist mercenaries (Al Qaeda) funded by the trade in narcotics.The endgame was to destroy Afghanistan as a progressive and independent nation-state committed to education, culture and women’s rights.” What the media describes as the “tyrannical policies of the Taliban” bears the footprints of the CIA which imposed Islamic Fundamentalism, while concurrently engineering the collapse and impoverishment of a progressive secular nation-state. President Ronald Reagan issued (and signed) the National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which de facto authorized “stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen” as well as CIA support to religious indoctrination. The promotion of “Radical Islam” was a deliberate CIA initiative (NSDD 166) which in the wake of 9/11 has served as justification to waging a “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT) in the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and sub–Saharan Africa. Our thoughts are with the people of Afghanistan.
