In Afghanistan right now, a one-legged Afghan Red Cross worker named Said Musa is sitting in a prison cell awaiting his sentence. Musa, a father of six children, was arrested by the Afghan government as he attempted to seek asylum at the German embassy last year. He was sentenced to death by an Afghan court that was established by the new Afghan government that the United States worked so hard to set up. He has been horribly mistreated for months. An Afghan judge has told him that he will be killed within a matter of days. So what was his crime? He was a Muslim that has become a Christian. Under Sharia law, that is punishable by death. Is this is the “freedom” that we have sacrificed so many American lives to bring to Afghanistan? This Christian father of six will be hung by the Afghan “democracy” that the United States has been “nurturing” and that U.S. soldiers have been working so hard to defend.
If this is the “liberty” that the United States is “exporting” to the Middle East, then why in the world are we still over there?
Isn’t it about time that the United States got the heck out of the Middle East?
Barack Obama and the rest of the U.S. government have been strangely silent about the fate of Said Musa. At this point it does not appear that the U.S. government is going to do anything to intervene.
What a disgrace. We have been in Afghanistan for about 9 and a half years. Up to this point, it is estimated that the U.S. government has spent over 379 billion dollars on the war in Afghanistan. Way too many U.S. soldiers have bled and died on Afghan soil.
And for what?
But it is the same thing in Iraq. Up to this point, it is estimated the the U.S. government has spent over 775 billion dollars on the war in Iraq. A lot of Americans lost arms and legs in Iraq. A lot of Americans will never be coming home from Iraq at all.
And for what?
Before the war Christians felt safe in Iraq. Now large numbers of them are fleeing Iraq as fast as they can. More than 80 Iraqi Christians were recently beheaded on a single day. All the Christians were trying to do was attend a church service.
These days all Christians in Iraq attend services knowing that there is a good chance that they may not live to see tomorrow.
Exactly what have we “accomplished” in Iraq?
Is Iraq any safer than before the U.S. invasion?
No.
Is Iraq producing fewer “terrorists” than before the U.S. invasion?
No.
Today there are more Iraqis that would like to harm the United States than ever before.
But we sure have spent a lot of money.
Since 2001, the total cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan breaks down to well over $3,600 for every man, woman and child in the United States.
We have spent well over a trillion dollars that we didn’t have on these stupid wars that have accomplished next to nothing.
Not only that, but we also spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year on “foreign aid” to corrupt governments in the Middle East.
Why in the world would we do such a thing?
As I have written about previously, we don’t exactly have any extra money to be throwing around.
So why are we giving these corrupt governments all this money?
Is it so that they will do what we want?
Well, it is not exactly working.
If it was working, the U.S. government would not be working so hard to bring about “regime change” in so many of these countries.
In fact, the U.S. government and the globalists have been quite busy in the Middle East so far this year.
The previous method used by the U.S. government and the globalists to initiate regime change, direct invasion, turned out not to work too well.
It turns out that the countries we invade end up resenting us deeply and that makes them hard to control.
So now the U.S. government and the globalists have decided that “color revolutions” are a lot better way to go. It costs a lot less money, and foreign blood gets spilled instead of the blood of American soldiers.
Is it any accident that so many very organized protest movements have erupted in so many countries across the Middle East all at the same time? is it any accident that so many of these protest groups seem to have similar talking points?
Once these protests are successful, the globalist organizations in the United States that worked so hard to fuel these protests swoop in to make sure a “new constitution” gets written and that their man gets put in charge of things.
In a recent Activist Post article, it was noted that this is exactly what is happening in Egypt. The mainstream media is attempting to position globalist minion Mohamed ElBaradei as the next president of Egypt….
MSNBC recently republished a New York Times piece titled “U.S. scrambles to size up ElBaradei,” suggesting somehow Egypt’s Mohamed ElBaradei may pose an obstacle to American and Israeli interests in the region. The utter contempt for their readers’ intelligence is revealed when considering ElBaradei is a trustee of a prominent US think-tank, the International Crisis Group (ICG) along side George Soros, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Richard Armitage, and Kenneth Aldelman.
The Activist Post article also noted that organizations affiliated with globalist “color revolution” meddler George Soros have already been busy drawing up a new constitution for Egypt….
Though many pundits see the Egyptian military’s dissolving of parliament and the suspension of the nation’s constitution as a step backwards for the protesters, it was exactly these steps that were demanded by ElBaradei’s mobs according to the Nation Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded Project on Middle East Democracy. The fact that George Soros, a fellow ICG trustee along side protest leader Mohamed ElBaradei, is funding organizations that have submitted drafts for Egypt’s new constitution adds insult to injury to the evisceration of Egypt’s national sovereignty.
So is this the new paradigm that the globalists will be using?
Are we going to see even more “color revolutions” in countries that aren’t doing exactly what the globalists want them to do?
Probably.
So why are we seeing these protests erupt in North Africa?
What is it about those nations that got under the skin of the globalists?
Well, it turns out that “Islamic banks” don’t charge interest and they have been experiencing explosive growth.
The globalists don’t like this one bit.
The son-in-law of deposed Tunisian President Ben Ali opened the very first Islamic bank in Tunisia on May 26th, 2010. Zitouna Bank was seen as a direct threat to the Central Bank of Tunisia.
So what happened almost immediately after the “revolution” in Tunisia?
The Central Bank of Tunisia (owned by the globalists) took control of Zitouna Bank.
Ouch.
So what about Egypt?
Well, Egypt is considered to be a pioneer when it comes to Islamic banking.
Some of the most prominent Islamic banks in Egypt include Faisal Islamic Bank, Al Baraka Egypt (Al Ahram Bank) and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
It would seem likely that we will witness some more “banking reform” in the aftermath of the protests in Egypt.
Encouraged by recent success in Tunisia and Egypt, the globalists are pushing for more. As you read this, the government of Libya is on the verge of falling. Bahrain, Yemen and Algeria are also embroiled in violence.
The globalists are even attempting to revive the “Green revolution” protests in Iran and they are attempting to spark a “Jasmine revolution” in China.
But eventually the rest of the world is going to figure out what the U.S. government and the globalists are working so hard to accomplish and they are going to deeply resent all of the meddling.
The truth is that the U.S. government needs to stop listening to the globalists once and for all. We should not have ever invaded Afghanistan. We should not have ever invaded Iraq. We should not be working with globalist organizations to fuel revolutionary protests in other countries right now.
In the end, all of the meddling that we have done over in the Middle East will probably end up backfiring on us big time. You see, the truth is that “forgiveness” is not a big thing in many of the countries over there. In the U.S. grudges may last for months or years, but in the Middle East grudges can last for centuries.
We are literally making millions upon millions of enemies that will never, ever forgive us.
We have spilled a massive amount of American blood and we have spent over a trillion dollars on wars over there.
So where is all the “freedom” and “liberty” that we were supposed to be “exporting” to those people?
The more we meddle the more we just seem to make things worse.
The truth is that the U.S. government has no idea what it is doing in the Middle East.
This is not a “conservative issue” or a “liberal issue”.
A government that we set up and that we are protecting with our soldiers is going to hang a man for changing religions.
Is there any “conservative” or any “liberal” out there that is going to stand up and defend such an atrocity?
If not, then perhaps we can all agree that it is time to get the heck out of Afghanistan. If they are going to hang people for what they believe then we should not be any part of it.
Am I wrong?
