General David "Betray Us" Petraeus
To some people, the concept of “full spectrum dominance” is completely foreign. To the upper echelons of the government of the United States, it is a tactic utilized on a regular basis.
Full spectrum dominance is achieved through controlling the groups and individuals that are the supposed enemies of the government through infiltration and/or funding.
A new military report reveals how this practice still occurs in the Middle East, just like in the Soviet-Afghan war in which we armed, funded, trained, and assisted the likes of Osama bin Laden and others who have grown to become known as the Taliban and even the ghost-group al Qaeda.
Of course the mainstream corporate media who unquestioningly supports the corrupt government of the United States and their international imperialist adventures has simply chalked this up to mismanagement.
They act as if the $360 million funneled to Taliban insurgents and other criminals in Afghanistan was simply “lost” and not intentionally handed out to those who received it.
If this were true, we would have to assume that there is absolutely no research done into where the contracts are going and in what hands our taxpayer dollars will end up.
The investigation was started last year by General David Petraeus, former commander of the allied forces in Afghanistan and current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Before this investigation began, the American-led coalition allegedly had “little visibility” into connections between Afghan companies, their subcontractors, and the Taliban and other criminals.
If we are to accept this, we have to ignore the surveillance and investigative activity of the Central Intelligence Agency along with military intelligence. They would have to be painfully incompetent or outright delinquent in their responsibilities if this was the case.
According to an AP report, the $360 million were given to our supposed opposition through a process called “reverse money laundering” in which American taxpayer dollars are given to contractors hired by the military who just happen to be “businesses and individuals with ties to the insurgency or criminal networks.”
When people in the United States are arrested for making donations to charities that are allegedly tied to terrorist groups with little evidence to support it and people with loose ties to terrorism (or no ties at all) are thrown on planes to Guantanamo Bay on a regular basis, how can our behemoth intelligence network miss such direct ties?...[Full Article]
