TOPIC: The debacle of Afghanistan was no "mistake," it was carefully plotted by Carter and Brzezinski years before 9/11/2001
This show is a deep dive into the mess the U.S. has made in the
"Graveyard of Empires."
GUESTS: Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould.
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.
Thank you for mentioning the creation of the Department of Education. It played an instrumental role in keeping schools closed during the COVID crisis too (DeVos could’ve produced national data that would’ve helped districts struggling to make sense of what what happening, instead letting them fight among themselves in a bipartisan manner)… the Obama administration’s transition team had even role played a national closure based on a “deadly respiratory disease” with Erik Prince’s older sister. Of course DeVos ditched that plan.
Nowadays the DOE has become connected to an unholy agenda, which is UNESCO blockchain Open Education Resource (long story on all that). Education was an area where the US actually collaborated with the USSR to build a planned economy. You are 💯correct we need local, community control of education.
Thanks again for being one of the few people (actually the first) to have mentioned it. Fantastic work!
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! 😜
