A TALE OF TWO TALIBAN!!

The American Taliban

Images of the Afghan Taliban inside the presidential palace in Kabul are distant shadows of what took place inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 of this year. The American Taliban storming the Capitol to reinstall their cult leader back to the office after losing the election, launching stop the steal movement. In the Afghani presidential palace, you see the victorious Afghani Taliban forces surrounding their confident leader sitting in the same place where Ex. Afghani President Ashraf Ghani used to sit.  Mr. Ghani, a groomed installed western trained economist who had to give up his American citizenship to become president of Afghanistan.  Mr. Ghani has now fled the country with millions of dollars stolen , looking for a place to hide. He may end up in America as an illegal immigrant. Ghani later posted on his Facebook that he fled to prevent further bloodshed.  “The Taliban have won with the judgment of their swords and guns and are now responsible for the honor, property, and self-preservation of their countrymen,” he said. This is 20 years too late, Mr. President! The transition of power in Afghanistan was smoother than the one Biden here in America. The Taliban are back after the American invasion kicked them out 20 years ago, excluded them and refused to let them be part of the new Afghanistan. “We don’t negotiate with surrenders,” Donald Rumsfeld gloated in 2001. Now are sweeping the country before President Biden could finish his afternoon nap. History repeats itself, first as tragedy and second as farce.  As professor David Schultz wrote in counterpunch. This surprised everyone except those who seriously understand the history and the lesson of Vietnam. The image of a helicopter hovering over our embassy to evacuate American nationalists in Saigon was repeated in Kabul yesterday. You can’t defeat a national movement no matter what your false claims or good intention pretexts are. Americans were up to Arms after the hillbilly coup at the Capital on Jan6th. Cried good Americans that “This is un-American, but the same good people voted and supported our president from Kennedy, Jonson, Reagan, Bush, Obama Trump, and Biden when they stormed other countries Capitols and installed puppet regimes and dictators.  The transition of  power in Afghanistan went smoothly than the American transition of power. The American Taliban, who supported right-wing military dictators in South American, Africa, and the middle east, was not fond of democracy. Everyone now is talking about the danger and the fear of Taliban rule, how the Taliban will treat women, whether they would bring the hijab and Burka back. 20 years of destructions, 100,000’s killed millions of refuges, billions of dollars wasted, and all the talk in the west about whether Afghani women will be able to take their hijab off.  Weaponizing feminism is the empire poly for it military expansion. Western media reporters are talking to young women, fearing the change of their lifestyles. Where was the American Taliban wheen we were bombing and killing women and children, bombing hospitals, schools weddings. I would belive Americans concern about Afghani women, when they care about Palestina women, black women, natve American women, women in africa and south American. 

None is talking about the lies and deception the Bush Administration spewed to get us in this mess from the first place. Americans were up in arms after the hillbilly coup Jan. 6. Good Americans cried: “This is un-American!” But the same good people voted for and supported presidents from Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Biden when they stormed other countries’ capitals and installed puppet regimes. Over the years, we supported regimes that treated women worst in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf oil countries. Now we cozy with MBS in Saudi Arabia to let women drive and dictator General el-Sisi in Egypt because he got ready for the Muslim Brotherhood and let women take their hijabs off, but they put a Burka on political freedom and democracy for everyone. Afghani Taliban entered the Presidential palace with their Arms. Still, they had more reverence to the place than the American Taliban, who stormed our Capitol on Jan6th destroying looting and chanting racist and outrageous demands. The Talabani of 2021 is not the same as 2011; all their annulments are to support that. Aljazeera reported that “Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who heads the Taliban’s political bureau, said in a brief video statement on Sunday that the test would begin with meeting the expectations of Afghans and resolving their problems.” A BBC reported keep interrogated Taliban spokesman if you are going to force women to wear Burka? Which he answers was no, hijab would do. Then the BBC reporter asked him if he will let women go back to school and get an education. “Women will go to school and get an education,” he said. Here in America, where the American Taliban storming school meeting to stop teaching CRT and Communism, preventing the school from teaching history that may make whites kids uncomfortable, how about blacks kids 300 years f teaching racism and white history. A teacher reported that parent asked their son to tape class to bringing it home, so they make sure they are not teaching CRT.

American Taliban here fighting to bring Jesus back to school, and politicians are asking to bring Christianity back to our governing. Islamophobia is spreading like wildfire in western countries because of moral climate change;  Muslims are banned, and women are prevented from wearing headscarves or hijab to school or public places in Franc, and they ask whether the Afghani Taliban would force hijab on women. American Taliban refusing to take the ready Covid vaccine as an act of define, like suicide bombers  undermining the system and causing the killing others. If any consolation for all of this, as you are sitting in your living room watching Afghani Taliban speedy conquest in Afghanistan, remember that Obama and his gang assassinated Bin Laden, sitting in the situation room with his own Taliban.

UNAMERICAN: WE ONLY DO COUPS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES

 

UnAmerican; We only do coups outside of the United States.

 

“Due to travel restrictions, this year, the United States had to organize a coup at home”. the tweet of the day . The storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th by Trump loyalists got Lots of reaction and debate here and abroad, all grieving the assault on the U.S. peacock of democracy. Media headlines, breaking news; the U.S. Capitol under siege, attacks, assaults, invasion, mobs storming the gates, anarchy in the USA, to insurrections trying to topple the U.S. government. “This is a Coup,” declared David Graham at the Atlantic. Trump’s supporters stormed the gates with their flags and smartphones, breached security, occupied the Capitol during electoral counting proceedings, usually a very doll peaceful day at the Capitol. I understand the criminality of the mops action incited by Trump himself, asking his patriots to storm the Capitol, because they are very special people. ” Trump Wants us Here” shouted one protester.  Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s T.V. lawyer, the American Mayor, declared that it would be a “Trial by Compact”. Trump, who invoked the racist quote during BLM protest of “When the looting starts the shooting starts,” encouraged the looting of the most revered democratic building in the land. But at the end of the day, when the dust settled,  the  reality crushed the mob internet fancy ,  they finally been cleared out, and the electoral voting counting proceeded, Joe Biden, declared our next President. The Republican party loyalists who have been appeasing Trump for four years got what they wanted from him, two conservative supreme court judges, billions of dollars handout for the wealthy, canceling the Iran Nuke deal, climates change changed,  now exercising extreme political distancing from the infectious loser. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Ted Cruz, Jim Jordon, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy shared Trump’s election steel myth; Supporting his insidious racist, anti-immigrants, anti-Muslims, anti-women, anti-workers, anti-climates, anti-multiracial democracy. V.P Pence who has been Trump’s lapdog, delivered him the Evangelical votes couldn’t deliver him the Capitol vote . Those hoodless Ku Klux Klan, right-wing extremists, evangelical nuts, white nationalists who stormed the U.S. capitol who are subscribing in the racist narrative that if you ate white, you can get away with shooting someone in the fifthAve. or storming the Capitol with your smartphone. They are living in the dark past refusing our multiracial democracy, where for the first time, millions of blacks, POC used their voting right to get the white nationalist, racist out of the white house without a coup. When do you call a coup a coup? According to Webster, the definition of a coup is “the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group” a military coup when that small group is the Military.  Jonathan Powell, a Coup Expert, defines a coup d’etat as “an overt attempt by the military or other elites within the state apparatus to unseat the sitting head of state using unconstitutional means.”, and needs to meet three conditions. 1. Are the perpetrator’s agents of the state, such as military officials or rogue governmental officials? No, only Trump, and he is leaving in 10 days or sooner. . 2. Is the target of the Insurrection, the chief executive of the government? No, it was the Capitol. 3. Do the plotters use illegal and unconstitutional methods to seize executive power? Nupe, only smartphones and flags. Those who quick to call the attack on U.S. Capitol a coup should look at the military coups worldwide that America either masterminded or supported. 1948 in Syria, Iran, 1953; Guatemala, 1954; Congo, 1960; Dominican Republic, 1961; South Vietnam, 1963; Brazil, 1964; Chile, 1973; Algeria, 1991; Egypt, 2013; Turkey, 2016; Bolivia, 2019; the list goes on. The few thousand people who stormed the U.S. Capital on January 6th never dreamed that they would go that far and it would be that easy to storm the Capitol, I visited the Capitol a few times, and I know how hard it is to get even close to Pennsylvanian Ave. If storming the Capitol was that easy, Bin Laden would have had a simpler plan. During the Arab Spring, Dictator Mubarak refused to stepdown shutdown Twitter, millions of Egyptians went to the street and forced him out. a few years later,  General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi stormed the presidential palace riding his tank, toppling the first democratically civilian-elected President, Mohammed Morsi, thousands of people marched into the street to protest the military coup, knowing that they could be massacred, 1000’s were killed. In 2016 when the Turkish Military rolled their tanks into streets to take over, President-elect Erdogan used his iPhone to send a message to his supporters to get out to the street and face the Military tanks. The military coup failed.  Most Americans however stayed home, they believe  as Joe Biden the storming of the Capitol to topple the government is un-American; We only do coups outside the United States.
