New Book ("The Valediction") Exposes US Perfidy in Afghanistan
9/1/2021 - “The Valediction: Three Nights of Desmond” by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould is their novelized memoir of how the United States lured the Soviet Union into Afghanistan in 1979, demonized it as a threat to world peace, and paid Muslim extremists to destabilize Afghanistan in order to squash détente, scuttle the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, and justify a massive arms build-up that neglects infrastructure investment in America to this day.
Education is another place where communities are more effective in determining the best practices for their students. There doesn’t need to be a bloated federal agency (269bn)—just appropriate our tax-money back to the states. Then we can address the Pentagon’s massive budget.
It's infuriating that people have long forgotten the dirty deeds of Jimmy and have reinvented him as a just a peaceful humanitarian who was too good for politics. He supported tyrants around the world like the Shah of Iran and Somoza of Nicaragua...
P.S. Beans can be plenty tasty and spicy! 😜
WOW! What a fantastic interview. If only we could learn this stuff when we're young.... When I think of all the unlearning I've had to do in my 78 years, I want to tear my hair out. and I'm still learning all the time. I cannot thank you enough, Cindy, for your constant probing into all the nitty gritty that IS reality. As horrible as it is, I find that it gives me great relief to SEE clearly.
