CIA TO TOPPLE KAYANI?

Panetta (from Calabria)

On 10 June 2011, CIA boss Leon Panetta met Pakistan army boss General Kayani and Pakistan spy boss General Shuja Pasha.

On 11 June, Panetta left Pakistan without achieving a deal on improving the relationship between the US and Pakistan spy agencies.

On 17 June 2011, a US official reported that Pakistan "is blocking food and water" from reaching a base used by America for its drone attacks.

According to the New York Times, General Kayani is facing opposition from top people within the Pakistan army and may be toppled from power.

Pakistan's Chief of Army Fights to Keep His Job

The New York Times story leads one to believe that it is the CIA which is instigating mutiny in the Pakistani army, according to the blog at Indian Punchline

"There is a US attempt to exploit the growing indiscipline within the Pak army and, if possible, to trigger a mutiny, which will bog down the army leadership in a serious 'domestic' crisis that leaves no time for them for the foreseeable future to play any forceful role in Afghanistan.

"In turn, it leaves the Americans a free hand to pursue their own agenda.

"Time is of the essence of the matter and the US desperately wants direct access to the Taliban leadership so as to strike a deal with them without the ISI or Hamid Karzai coming in between.

"The prime US objective is that Taliban should somehow come to a compromise with them on the single most crucial issue of permanent US military bases in Afghanistan."

Mohammad Khan, 9 years old, was wounded on 11 November 2001 when a US B-52 war plane dropped a bomb on Korang village of Surkhrod district in Nangrahar province, in Afghanistan.

He has been in pain for 3 years and due to poor health care facilities has never recovered from the painful wounds.

"Commanders in Afghanistan are bracing themselves for possible riots and public fury triggered by the publication of 'trophy' photographs of US soldiers posing with the dead bodies of defenceless Afghan civilians they killed.

"Senior officials at Nato's International Security Assistance Force in Kabul have compared the pictures published by the German news weekly Der Spiegel to the images of US soldiers abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq which sparked waves of anti-US protests around the world.

"They fear that the pictures could be even more damaging as they show the aftermath of the deliberate murders of Afghan civilians by a rogue US Stryker tank unit that operated in the southern province of Kandahar last year." (US Army 'kill team' in Afghanistan posed for photos of murdered ...)

MURDERED BY THE USA

On 4 May 1970, at Ohio's Kent State University, US forces murdered 4 students. The students had been protesting about US forces carrying out the mass murder of civilians in Cambodia.

Reportedly, General Petraeus has said that the Afghans may have been burning their own children.

The USA, like Israel, commits mass murder and then, like Israel, blames the victims.

Gen. David H. Petraeus: Afghans burned their own children.

Around 16 February 2011, in Konar province in Afghanistan, the US military killed 22 women and more than 30 children.

According to the Washington Post, on 21 February 2011,

"To the shock of President Hamid Karzai's aides, Gen. David H. Petraeus suggested ... that Afghans caught up in a coalition attack in northeastern Afghanistan might have burned their own children to exaggerate claims of civilian casualties, according to two participants at the meeting."

Murdered by US troops at Mai Lai

Reportedly, "Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, dismissed allegations by Karzai's office and the provincial governor that civilians were killed and said residents had invented stories, or even injured their children, to pin the blame on U.S. forces..."

"On Saturday, Wahidi, the provincial governor, sent a three-person fact-finding team up the valley to the village of Helgal.

"They returned with ... five boys and girls 16 or younger.

"... they had burns and shrapnel wounds..."

THE CIA'S MAD MOSLEMS, MILITARY BASES AND HEROIN

Reportedly, the CIA and NATO want to use the Taliban to help them obtain military bases throughout Central Asia. Reportedly, the CIA has long had friendly relations with certain Taliban figures, and, with the heroin trade.



We are not supposed to know too much about all these mad Muslims who work for the CIA and its friends.



Sultan Amir Tarar (Pakistan's Godfather of the Taliban dies 23 January 2011) was a friend of the CIA.



He was trained by American special forces.



He ran CIA-funded training camps in Pakistan.



These camps sent tens of thousands of mujahideen guerrillas into battle against the Soviets.



Among his students was an Afghan called Mullah Omar.



Mullah Omar became head of the Afghan Taliban and came to power in Afghanistan in 1996.



Tarar was Pakistan intelligence's link with the Afghan Taliban.



Both the CIA and its subsidiary ISI (Pakistan intelligence) were friends of the Taliban.



In 2001, the USA, fell out with the Afghan Taliban and decided to attack Afghanistan.



Tarar returned to Pakistan but allegedly continued to act as a link between the ISI and the Taliban.

Reportedly the CIA hopes to use the Afghan Taliban to balkanise certain neighbouring countries. And hopes to use the Pakistan Taliban to balkanise Pakistan.



In 2010, Tarar was kidnapped and in 2011 he died in captivity.



When Tarar was kidnapped, he had been hoping to gain an interview with the Pakistan Taliban leader, Hakimullah Mehsud.



Allegedly, the CIA is using the Pakistan Taliban to break up Pakistan.



On 21 October 2009, Akhtar Jamal, at ahmedquraishi.com/p, revealed the details of how Pakistan Taliban terrorists are being equipped with U.S., Indian and German, weapons.



Gordon Duff, of ‘Veterans Today’, revealed in a recent interview: "The Pakistani Taliban is in close cooperation with India and Israel who supply, finance, arm and train them to attack Pakistan."



Tarar was with Khalid Khawaja, a former ISI spy.



The kidnappers were led by a 'militant' called Usman Punjabi.



Punjabi's group claimed Khawaja was an ISI and CIA agent who had betrayed 'extremists' during the Red Mosque siege in Islamabad in 2007.



Also with Tarar was Asad Qureshi, a British film-maker making an independent film for the UK's Channel Four.



Qureshi was released by his kidnappers.



Punjabi was killed in a shootout with a local tribal commander, and Tarar was handed over to Hakimullah Mehsud's Pakistan Taliban.



Tarar may have known too much about CIA links to the Pakistan Taliban.

And what about Mullah Omar: who knows where he is now?



On 7 January 2011, Mullah Omar reportedly had a heart attack and was treated for several days in a Karachi hospital with the help of Pakistan's spy service the ISI.



According to The Washington Post, a private intelligence firm, the Eclipse Group, was the source of this information.



And the Eclipse Group got its information from a doctor in a Karachi hospital.



The doctor said he saw Mullah Omar.



The New York Times reports that the man who runs the Eclipse Group is former CIA officer Duane R. Clarridge.



He may or may not be telling the truth.



After many years "the world has witnessed that neither Mullah Omar nor Bin Laden have been captured.



"It would be a joke to say that a superpower like the US cannot capture these two men." - Press TV's exclusive interview with Alaeddin Boroujerdi

In 1978, the government in Afghanistan was peaceful, moderate, progressive and non-communist.



The US government wanted control of Afghanistan.



The CIA decided to finance some extremist Moslems and put them into power in Afghanistan.



According to Andrew Gavin Marshall, at Global Research, 5 September 2010, (The “Arc of Crisis”):



Brzezinski said in a 1998 interview:



"It was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the .... regime in Kabul.



"And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention."



Brzezinski said he "Knowingly increased the probability that (the Soviets) would invade."



The US government plans to balkanise and control the oil rich parts of the world.



Peter Dale Scott pointed out, in The Road to 9/11, that "billions of CIA and Saudi dollars would ultimately be spent in programs that would help enhance ... Wahhabistic jihadism...."



In 1979, Hafizullah Amin, who was reportedly a CIA asset, carried out a coup in Afghanistan.



Amin "halted the reforms, and murdered, jailed, or exiled thousands of (moderates) as he moved toward establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state." (Michael Parenti, Afghanistan, Another Untold Story. Global Research: December 4, 2008: globalresearch.9)



The Soviets intervened in order to replace Amin. The Soviet invasion took place in 1980.



Reportedly, the US plans to break up Saudi Arabia, and several other oil-rich countries.



The USA took the side of the Moslem extremist Afghan Mujahideen.



In 1981, CIA Director Casey worked with Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal and the Pakistani ISI "to create a foreign legion of jihadi Muslims."



This idea had "originated in the elite Safari Club," a coalition of intelligence agencies, which included the CIA and French intelligence.



More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan, in camps overseen by the CIA and MI6.



Britain's SAS training future al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts.



Future al-Qaeda leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia.



This was called Operation Cyclone.



It continued after the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989.





Drugs money was used to finance the Afghan Mujahideen.



When Britain was in India, Britain's East India Company turned opium into India's main export.



According to Alfred W. McCoy, in The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, "CIA activities in Burma helped transform the Shan states ... into the largest opium-growing region in the world."



In the 1960s and 1970s, the CIA promoted the drugs trade in Laos and Vietnam.



In the 1980s that the CIA turned Central Asia into a major supplier of heroin for the world market.



The CIA helped Afghanistan's heroin to reach Europe and America. (Alfred W. McCoy, The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade.)



CIA money went to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Afghanistan’s leading mujahideen drug lord.



Between 1979 and1980, drug-related deaths in New York City rose 77%.

The bin Ladens are old friends of the Bush family. Above, Wafah bin Laden.



In the 1980s, the CIA financed Mujahideen propaganda in textbooks for Afghan schools.

(Carol Off, Back to school in Afghanistan. CBC: May 6, 2002: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/schools.html)



In the early 1990s the Taliban emerged, and it was supported by the CIA.



"Between 1994 and 1996, the USA supported the Taliban politically through its allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, essentially because Washington viewed the Taliban as anti-Iranian, anti-Shia, and pro-Western." (Robert Dreyfuss, Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam.)



Selig Harrison, a scholar with links to the CIA, said that the CIA worked with Pakistan to create the Taliban.

(Reportedly the CIA hopes to use the Afghan Taliban to balkanise certain neighbouring countries.)



Reportedly:

1. The USA uses profits from heroin to pay for its presence in Afghanistan.



2. The USA set up the Taliban and it still hopes to make use of the Taliban.



3. The USA would like to use the Taliban to destabilise Central Asia.



4. The USA's eventual aim is to have military bases throughout Central Asia.





On 20 August 2009, www.russiatoday.com had an article entitled “Afghan drug trafficking brings US $50 billion a year”



In this article, the main points made by General Mahmut Gareev, a commander during Russia's time in Afghanistan, are as follows:



1. When General Gareev was in Afghanistan, in 1989 and 1990, the production of heroin almost ceased, apart from in certain areas.



3. Since then, it has increased by 44 per cent.



4. 80% of the world’s drugs are produced in Afghanistan.



5. The Americans themselves admit that drugs are often transported out of Afghanistan on American planes.



6. "Drug trafficking in Afghanistan brings them about 50 billion dollars a year – which fully covers the expenses tied to keeping their troops there."



7. The US military "don’t have any planned military action to eliminate the Mujahideen.



"Rather, they want to make the situation more unstable and help the Taliban to be more active.



"They even started negotiations with them, trying to direct them to the Central-Asian republics, to destabilize the whole region and set up their bases there."
