McJihad in Chechnya: how we in the West created, financed, and used McJihad to shape the narrative. “Are we the baddies?” — our Western capitalist criminal empire.

McJihad the creation of our own imaginary enemy

This is all connected to my recent posts, but first, for those who think this is a far-fetched conspiracy theory, I’d like to share a recent program from the YouTube channel Dialogue Works, featuring Larry C. Johnson and Col. Larry Wilkerson, where both claim that the CIA was behind the Chechen insurgency

The Russians were prevented from providing any resupply and support to the Serbians. Then, in August, August 7th, and during—remember, during this entire period, Yeltsin is president—August 7th, the Second Chechen War starts. You have an invasion of radical jihadists, Sunni extremists. I guarantee you they were funded by the CIA. The CIA had a hand in this invasion. So this was part of a Western plan. They were really in the process of humiliating Russia. Two days after that invasion, on August 9th, Boris Yeltsin names Vladimir Putin as prime minister. And then, it’s four months later that Yeltsin just all of a sudden resigns, and Putin becomes president. So right at his birth, at that outset, he understands Russia is under attack by NATO on several fronts. It’s under economic attack because of the oligarchs that were raping Russia at the time, and it was facing this uh radical Islamic insurgency that was killing, literally killed, thousands of Russians. And so he came out of that, and somehow—Mira, I, I think it’s almost miraculous what he’s done in 26 years to completely turn that country around, to rebuild the armed forces, even though he had made repeated attempts to try to placate NATO, to join NATO, to work in peace and harmony with the West, and has consistently faced intelligence operations designed to destroy Russia up until even the start of that special military operation. That’s what Trump and the American, that’s what we don’t get on this side. We think that we like to create this narrative that, “Oh, Vladimir Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Empire.” I mean, if I hear that crap one more time, if, if I’m with somebody that says that, I’ll punch him in the face, you know, just, just to wake him up.

The overall history of Putin and the new Cold War against Russia is best summarized in this video by Max Blumenthal, which I’ve linked to in my posts many times.

All of this is connected to my recent posts about McJihad and how we in the West are behind Islamic terrorism — such as the one about the Pakistan–India conflict.

The Pakistan–India conflict: perspectives from both sides and my own opinions.

Or this one about the entire history of Al-Qaeda and the creation of McJihad.

Radical Islam is our self-made, imaginary enemy — the myth of the ‘Clash of Civilizations’ and the War on Terror is really a war on you!

The first post is about the Pakistan–India conflict. Since we in the West created, financed, and used radical Islam, it should be obvious that recent terrorist attacks in India are also the result of Western interference. When I heard about the attacks, my first thought was, “Oh, the West is trying to meddle again.”

I’ve seen comments on my posts about “evil Muslim people,” with some claiming, “They’re teaching their kids to cut off the heads of non-believers,” and other nonsense like that. But those who say these things never stop to ask who put such people in power in the first place.

We’re told that Islam and Muslims are inherently evil - that they do these things simply because they're "savages" and that their faith and culture are bad. But that’s complete nonsense. It’s the West that pushes these types of people into power. We created radical Islam, and we ensure that extremists rise to the top.

Some may wonder why we do this and it was discussed in the main video attached to this post. That’s why.

You've got like Western, US, Israeli, Gulf State, you know, cutouts, and Turkey propping up, um, propping up the jihadis in Syria. Now, or if just to think about Israel propping up, uh, Hamas, basically trying to gin them up so that they will, uh, essentially replace the PLO, you know, because the PLO is more sympathetic. You don't want a sympathetic adversary, you don't want to negotiate, you want, you know, bad guys that you can easily caricature and then justify killing. So this is the way that they've operated.

We support radical Islam because, as Aaron said, “You don't want a sympathetic adversary. You don't want to negotiate. You want bad guys that you can easily caricature and then justify killing.” That’s why Israel supported Hamas. That’s why we supported Al-Qaeda in Syria. That’s why we backed radical Islam in Pakistan - so that now Israel has a justification to slaughter people in Gaza, and India has a justification to attack Pakistan.

Most people aren’t sociopaths without empathy like our leaders, who care only about money and power. Normal people feel empathy for others. That’s why we need to create a narrative that justifies our Western actions to those normal, empathetic people. We have to instill fear in them, which then transforms into hatred.

Similar roles were played by the attacks in Europe that I mentioned in my earlier post - Muslims driving into crowds in Germany, for example. Those incidents were likely orchestrated by our own Western intelligence agencies to stoke fear, which then morphs into hatred toward Muslims. That hatred can then be used to justify atrocities like Israel’s slaughter in Gaza.

That’s why I wrote that Germans who hate Muslims because of those car attacks, or the French who hate Muslims due to terrorist incidents, shouldn’t direct their anger at the Muslim or Arab world -  attacks.

Western Capitalist Criminal Empire

In the main video, they also discussed something I’ve written about before - our “Western Capitalist Criminal Empire,” which almost no one knows about. Here’s a fragment:

1:20:04

And China is just going to transcend the US, and the US is going to look like a crazy nation of militarists, shredding babies, running jihad heroin operations around the world, trying to control the world. We already do. I mean, we just look like a bunch of gangsters, and we're, and the more that people realize that, "Wow, they look like a bunch of gangsters, and we don't even know the half of it," this is, this is how I think the US is going to, the US empire is going to, is, is going to collapse. The US, and it's what it really means, is the end of white European people ruling, being the dominant actors in world history. You know, and, and it's, we, you know, I don't want to say we, but like, I am a light-skinned person, like I'm one, I'm 1/16th Native American, but and, and hillbilly, which from West Virginia, my background, and for a while, you know, there's a whole literature, there's a whole literature on those not exactly being white people, but let's be real, I am a white person, but I'm not associated with this project like that's just where we, I think we need to be. Like, you know, whiteness itself and this whole thing of like the West being the good guys and democracy and capitalism is such, it's all just bullshit for a crime, an organized crime syndicate. Western civilization has become an organized crime syndicate.

This is something I also touched on in my posts, especially in one of my recent posts:

Israel is the deep state within the deep state, outside the state. It’s not that Jews, Israel, and Mossad control the West, but rather that Israel and Mossad exist to serve the West.

Almost no one knows the truth about the world, especially when it comes to our Western “Capitalist Criminal Empire.” I’m extremely glad that this truth is slowly coming to light. For almost 20 years, I’ve lived in the real world that most people are unaware of - I was labeled a conspiracy theorist and called crazy all along. But now, the truth is beginning to emerge, and that’s why our Western rulers have started pushing the narrative of “misinformation” - to silence people like me and those whose videos I share.

We should be grateful for platforms like The Duran forum, which is now under attack. We must deeply appreciate the courage and integrity of the people behind The Duran, who take significant risks by giving a voice to people like me - people who, as some say, “tell too much truth.” When I first began posting here, I could still access the site from my phone. Now, it’s blocked by my mobile internet provider. I fear that soon I won’t be able to access it even from my desktop computer.

If that happens, I’ll try to contact someone from The Duran to post on my behalf, so don’t be surprised if my posts start appearing under other users' names. I also ask you to support The Duran in any way you can. They are risking their platform and reach by giving space to voices like mine, and we need places where the truth can still be spoken.

To quote Orwell:
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Many geopolitical analysts still don’t fully grasp the truth about how the world works. For example, when I hear people talk about Mexico or Canada “importing drugs” into the U.S., I wonder - don’t they know about the CIA’s heroin production in Laos? Don’t they remember the Iran-Contra scandal and CIA involvement in cocaine trafficking from South America? Don’t they see the connections between the recent heroin epidemic in the U.S. and the fact that U.S. Marines were protecting Afghan poppy fields?

I quote this fragment before in my posts:

This information is from “The Great Heroin Coup” by Henry Krueger. In August 1971, the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs announced the location in Southeast Asia of 29 drug refineries, 15 of which were allegedly producing heroin. Among the largest was one in Vientiane, Laos, which was camouflaged as a Pepsi Cola plant. Richard Nixon, representing Pepsi’s interests in 1965, promoted its construction. Though the plant never capped a bottle, it continued to receive subsidies from U.S. aid for international development.

Richard Nixon, who at that time, among other things, was involved in the Kennedy assassination, worked for the Pepsi Cola Company. He was the one who promoted the establishment of that plant in Vientiane, which became the leading heroin refinery in all of Southeast Asia. The plant never capped a bottle of Pepsi; instead, the heroin, as Dave said, went straight into the arms of American GIs, supported by American taxpayers through USAID. Furthermore, the main person trafficking in that heroin, which was going into the arms of the GIs, was Nien Kalki, a key official of the government that those GIs were there to support in the first place. This is obviously a distasteful situation.

If this is supposedly part of their culture, then how is it that poppy production in Afghanistan was almost eradicated after the West left? How is it that when the West entered Afghanistan, the country was responsible for 60% of the world's opium production - but by the time the West left, it was responsible for 90%?

How is it that the heroin epidemic during the Vietnam War was the fault of the CIA and the American deep state, the cocaine and crack epidemic during the Contra war in South America was also their fault, and the more recent heroin epidemic during the Afghanistan conflict was again tied to the CIA and the deep state - yet now, the current fentanyl epidemic in America is somehow the fault of foreign actors, and not the CIA or American deep state?

When I hear Trump accusing China of the fentanyl epidemic, or some political commentators blaming the British, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. As I’ve said before, if Trump really wanted to stop the fentanyl crisis, he should start by talking to his own people in the CIA and within the deep state.

Most geopolitical analysts don’t know the real truth about the world. They live in what I call the “world of the naive,” and that’s why they can make absurd claims like blaming China or the UK for the fentanyl crisis in America. It’s not as if the American government hasn’t already admitted to working with drug smugglers during the cocaine and crack epidemic tied to the Contra wars - we even have Hollywood movies about it. And yet, it’s still often dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

We’ve got films like American Made and Kill the Messenger that tell these stories.

Barry Seal: Is all this legal?

Monty ‘Schafer: If you’re doing it for the good guys, yeah. Just don’t get caught.

Fred Weil: I had an American citizen, a rich Republican Party fund-raiser, a White House favorite, in my office, upset about things he was hearing. He believed in freedom and defeating communism, but not in laundering narcotics money for guns. And he's sitting in my office in the US Senate, and he gets a phone call telling him that if he talked to me he'd die. This is your ticket out of small time, right? You're going to make your bones on this.

Gary Webb: This is a true story.

Fred Weil: My friend, some stories are just too true to tell.

Gary Webb: That's bullshit.

Fred Weil: Yeah? And yes, it is. Congratulations. You figured that out.

So we have the American government admitting it, we have Hollywood movies about it - and yet somehow, it’s still considered a conspiracy theory, and most people don’t even know it happened. That’s how we end up with people blaming China and the UK for the fentanyl epidemic, not realizing that America and the CIA are likely behind it - just as they were behind all the previous drug epidemics in the U.S.

After the fall of the British Empire - an empire that was the largest criminal and drug empire in history, as demonstrated by the Opium Wars against China - America took over that mantle. The U.S. became the new leader of the global drug trade and criminal enterprise.

The West is not a beacon of democracy and free speech. Instead, it has become the largest capitalist criminal empire in the world, responsible for nearly all the worst atrocities: drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal arms dealing, political assassinations, genocide, pedophilia, and more. Yet almost no one is aware of this. Most people in the West still believe we are the “good guys.”

It reminds me of a meme.

Are We The Baddies? YES WE ARE!

Just look at who our Western allies are:
Nazis in Ukraine, who call Russians “orcs” and treat them as subhuman.
Zionists in Israel, who call Arabs “animals” and treat them as subhuman.
Al-Qaeda in Syria, who call non-believers enemies and treat them as subhuman.

Yes, we are the baddies. We in the West are living in an empire of evil.

“Is any of it real? I mean, look at this. Look at it! A world built on fantasy! Synthetic emotions in the form of pills, psychological warfare in the form of advertising, mind-altering chemicals in the form of food, brainwashing seminars in the form of media, controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. Real? You want to talk about reality? We haven’t lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. We turned it off, took out the batteries, snacked on a bag of GMOs while we tossed the remnants in the ever-expanding dumpster of the human condition. We live in branded houses trademarked by corporations built on bipolar numbers jumping up and down on digital displays, hypnotizing us into the biggest slumber mankind has ever seen. You have to dig pretty deep, kiddo, before you can find anything real. We live in a kingdom of bullshit, a kingdom you’ve lived in for far too long. So don’t tell me about not being real. I’m no less real than the fucking beef patty in your Big Mac.”

“Interviewer: Let me ask one thing. Isn’t this sort of indoctrination happening to all of us now through the internet? What effect does having a whole society so ideologically motivated have, in your opinion?”

Douglas Valentine: Well, that’s the end result of decades of military propaganda in the United States, and it goes back to the Iliad. The rulers of society, who own the property and control the means of production, hire people like Homer to tell their story. Their story only focuses on the heroic soldier who goes off to fight in foreign wars and becomes a hero. It’s the hero myth. The myth tells us that the only way to become a true hero is to fight and die for your country overseas—supposedly in service of the nation, but really in service of corporations like General Electric, Morgan Stanley, and pharmaceutical companies.

This has nothing to do with the 90% of the population who don’t want to get involved in wars or see their sons and daughters sent off to die. But enough people buy into this hero myth. It’s everywhere in the media, which is why Ken Burns can get away with calling the Vietnam War a ‘noble cause.’ Otherwise, he’d be saying that the soldiers who fought and died there did so for nothing. You can’t have that in America. America can’t be a near-imperial power without a steady conveyor belt of cannon fodder.

That’s the purpose of military propaganda, based on this idea of the hero myth ingrained in Western literature. After the Vietnam War, there were one or two anti-war films, but then movies like Rambo and The Deer Hunter came along—which could just as easily have been called ‘Hate Hunter.’ The Vietnamese were portrayed as evil, while the only victims shown were American soldiers.

The narrative since then has portrayed American soldiers as the sole victims of the Vietnam War. You never hear about the landmines still scattered across Vietnam, the people dying from Agent Orange, or the sanctions that crippled the country until 1991. You never hear about the enemy’s suffering, only about American soldiers, because they’re the heroes.

That’s the nature of military propaganda: it’s become more ideological, more fascist, and more ingrained. Many people really believe this myth. The whole purpose of their life is to join the military and fight in foreign wars. If they can’t, they become mercenaries. Our society glorifies violence in defense of the country.

Pacifists, like those in Ukraine, are vilified. You can’t be a pacifist in Ukraine today. Zelensky has essentially outlawed pacifism. This situation has been evolving for decades and is now playing out on the Ukraine-Russia border. A lot of it has to do with the mythology of the war hero and the fascist military-industrial state. Communism was supposed to counteract this, but it got off track a long time ago. Fighting it is hard, and the fascists have gone all in. The world is getting smaller, and only the strong survive. Fascists have always glorified strength, commitment to ideology, and violence—just like the Nazis. No mercy for the enemy. That’s what’s happening now, and that’s why Americans support it. They’ve been trained to believe that’s how the world works, and how it must work.”
