May 30, marks the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. It officially opened on the National Mall on May 30, 1922. The iconic temple is built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. A bastion of hope in difficult times.
Lincoln is the one who saved the Union, and the memory of republican Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S economy. He was assassinated in 1865.
This is the place Martin Luther King Jr. gave his «I have a dream» speech in 1963, electrifying the nation and inspiring generations. This is also the place contralto Marian Anderson sang in 1939 to a crowd of about 75,000 after the Daughters of the American Revolution denied her request to rent facilities at Constitution Hall.
Now, 100 years after the opening, the troubles in the U.S remain. Moscow is once again an enemy. Inflation is back. Crime and violence are back. The pandemic is still a plague, and climate change is a big challenge.
Lincoln didn`t deal with this kind of problem. I don`t think he imagined some of that will come either. But what he was dealing with was slavery, racism, and civil war. 150 years later, the United States of America is still struggling with hate, violence, and racism.
It feels like the U.S is deeply divided, and people are worried about the future. More than ever before. Youthful optimism is plummeting, and pessimism is at a high level. But what the U.S citizens have left is the Lincoln memorial and hope.
Lincoln had hope, and he didn`t give up. So shouldn`t people today. People will travel to D.C and visit Lincoln. Especially this year. Maybe some will find wonderment and insight. On the south chamber wall are these words from the Gettysburg Address:
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us ~ that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion ~ that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain ~ that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom ~ and that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth.
This durable memorial is born of crisis and war, and it is a bastion of hope.

The war in Ukraine could have ended a long time ago. Putin has been giving Zelenskyy a great solution to the problems they have, but Zelenskyy rejected it. The reason is that the neo-Nazis are threatened to kill Zelenskyy if he signs a peace deal with Putin and Russia.
First of all I must say that many deep thinkers have predicted the war a long time ago, and believe it or not, President Joe Biden is one of them. He predicted the war in Ukraine 25 years ago. Henry Kissinger also warned on several occasions that NATO expansion would create tensions between Russia and the US as well as Russia and the rest of western Europe.
Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state of the United States, while writing for the Wall Street Journal in 2014 following the annexation of Crimea pointed out that Ukraine cannot act as an outpost for either party but rather should act as a bridge between the West and Russia.
Ukraine is an inalienable part of Russia`s history and identity. «To treat Ukraine as part of an East-West confrontation would scuttle for decades any prospect to bring Russia and the West, especially Russia and Europe, into a cooperative international system,» Kissinger wrote for the Wall Street Journal.
The most important thing, in this case, is NATO`s Final Declaration Bucharest Summit on April 3, 2008, that says; «NATO welcomes Ukraine`s and Georgia`s Euro Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO.»
This is the deep cause: The aim of the United States and its European allies is to peel Ukraine away from the Soviet orbit and incorporate it into the West.
Jack Matlock said last month that NATO expansion would trigger an arms race. Matlock highlighted that the Soviet collapse was not because of western pressure but due to internal issues which led to its fall. He called the expansion of NATO a strategic blunder.
Naom Chomsky talked about Ukraine a year ago and said that the takeover of eastern Cuba is much worse than the situation in Ukraine today. But I`m not gonna talk about Cuba today. It`s all about Ukraine. Chomsky mentioned leading international relations specialist, John Mearsheimer who wrote an article in the main establishment journal foreign affairs with this headline;
THE WEST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UKRAINE CRISIS.
What Mearsheimer points out in his article is in 1990, when the Russian Empire collapsed. The question was about how should the post-war system develop? Gorbachev made a remarkable concession. He agreed to allow unified Germany to join a Western military alliance. If you think about history, that`s pretty astonishing, because Germany alone had practically destroyed Russia a couple of times in the century.
He was saying that a unified militarized Germany can join a hostile military alliance. There was a «quid pro quo.» A condition that NATO would not move phrase was one inch to the east. That meant East Germany.
But what did they do? NATO immediately moved to East Germany. Gorbachev was pretty upset, but he was informed by president Bush and James Baker, that this was just a verbal agreement. There was nothing on paper. The implication is if you`re dumb enough to accept the verbal gentleman`s agreement with the United States, that`s your problem.
Then Clinton came in, and NATO moved further towards the right to the border of Russia. But the big question is rather; why does NATO even exist after 1990 throughout the whole history of the cold war?
They say NATO is necessary to defend Western Europe from the Russian hordes. But what happens to NATO? It explodes. It expands to the east. Its mission changed. Its official mission now is not to defend Europe from the Russian hordes.
It`s to control the global energy system. Sea lanes and pipelines, and to serve as a US-run intervention force. We can all ask ourselves; «What was the nature of the propaganda we were fed all those years?»
If NATO was there to defend the west from the Russians, why is it now expanding the right to the borders of Russia, becoming a global and US intervention force protecting sea lanes and pipelines, and so on.
What that talk about the Cold war was just a pure lie, and there`s plenty more evidence for that.
Noam Chomsky said seven years ago that after a dangerous proxy war, keeping Ukraine Neutral offers a path to peace with Russia. So did John Mearsheimer. But who is listening? MSM? Nope. You never see people like this on MSM.
Mearsheimer said that Ukraine and NATO would be a security threat to Russia. But he said that many years ago. You all knew it. Deep thinkers told you all about it. The solution is a Neutral Ukraine.
Putin offered Zelenskyy that solution. A Neutral Ukraine, which is a buffer state between NATO and Russia, but Zelenskyy rejected it. Why? It`s probably the neo-Nazis. They will kill him if he agrees with Putin.
In 2013, Putin wanted an Economic Rescue Plan for Ukraine with Russia, the IMF, and the EU, but the EU said no foolishly.
The real losers in this war are the Ukrainians. Ukrainians are led down the primrose path. NATO has pushed very hard to encourage the Ukrainians to be part of NATO. They are pushed to be a western bulwark on Russia`s borders. Despite the fact that the Russians made it clear that this was unacceptable to them.
What the West did is to take a stick and poke the bear in the eye. And if you do that, that bear is not going to smile and laugh at what you`re doing. That bear is probably going to fight back, and that`s exactly what`s happening here. And that bear is going to tear apart Ukraine. That bear is in the process of tearing apart Ukraine.
So, who is responsible for all this? Russia? Of course not. The Russians are doing the dirty work. What caused the Russians to do this? According to John Mearsheimer, the answer is very simple; The United States of America.
Putin and Russia have repeatedly said that Georgia and Ukraine will never become part of NATO. In August 2008, you had a war involving the Russians and the Georgians over the whole issue of whether or not Georgia would become part of NATO.
The plan is to turn Ukraine into a pro-western liberal democracy, and it started with the Orange revolution in 2014. They want Ukraine to be a part of the West while sitting on Russia`s border. The crisis in Ukraine started on February 22, 2014, and that was a coup, supported by the United States.
The Revolution of Dignity is also known as the Maidan Revolution. It took place in Ukraine in February 2014 at the end of the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv.
It resulted in a pro-Russian leader; president Yanukovych, being overthrown and being replaced by a pro-American prime minister. The Russians found this intolerable. At the same time, they were debating with the West and the Ukrainians over EU expansion, and always in the background at that time was NATO expansion.
A civil war started in Ukraine in 2014, and this is also where the neo-Nazis are starting to grow. In 2017, President Trump decided to arm the Ukrainians. They also got training help. It also formed closer diplomatic ties with the Ukrainians. That spooked the Russians.
MSM is telling us all that Putin is the main cause of the war in Ukraine. They say Putin is crazy and irrational. Putin is bent on creating a greater Russia. Putin is a new Hitler, they say. I must say that it`s hard to believe that serious people can say things like that. It`s ridiculous.
They also say that Putin is an aggressor. He is expanding. He is trying to build a new USSR. I don`t understand how serious people can say things like that. It`s all nonsense. Russia doesn`t have enough resources to do that. Nor do they have money to expand. It`s deceit. A lie. they turn things upside down. Who acts like USSR? Russia? Of course not.
So, what we see here is NATO expansion. EU expansion. Promoting democracy. Is this war vital to the US? No. Is this war vital to Russia? Absolutely yes.

Vladimir Putin is doing exactly what Boris Johnson and Joe Biden are doing; «Building back better.» Putin is working very hard to fix all the problems that the communist Bolsheviks made during their revolution: October Revolution.
The Russian Revolution was a period of political and social revolution that took place in the former Russian Empire which began during World War I. The Bolsheviks killed the Royal family Romanov that has ruled Russia for 302 years.
This period saw Russia abolish its monarchy and adopt a socialist form of government following two successive revolutions and bloody civil war. This socialist revolution ended the Russian monarchy and Tsar Nicholas II abdicated and stepped down, ushering in a new government led by the Russian Duma (parliament) which became the Russian Provisional Government. This government was dominated by the interests of prominent capitalists, as well as the Russian nobility and aristocracy.
People were killed by The Provisional Government, with the support of Socialist-Revolutionary Party-Menshevik leaders of the All-Russian Executive Committee of the Soviets, in Petrograd in a peaceful demonstration.
During this chaotic period, there were frequent mutinies, protests, and strikes. Many socialist and other leftist political organizations were engaged in daily struggle and vied for influence within the Provisional Government and the Soviets.
One such faction was the Bolsheviks («Ones of the Majority») led by Vladimir Lenin. The Bolsheviks gained support by campaigning on a slogan of peace, land, and bread which promised to cease war with Germany, give land to the peasantry, and end the famine caused by Russia`s involvement in WWI. These slogans had a direct effect on the growing Bolshevik popularity.
Under pressure from German military offensives, the Bolsheviks soon relocated the national capital to Moscow. The Bolsheviks had secured a strong base of support within the Soviets and, as the supreme governing party, established their own government, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR).
The RSFSR began the process of reorganizing the former empire into the world`s first socialist state, to practice soviet democracy on a national and international scale.
The Great October Socialist Revolution under the Soviet Union, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution (1917 – 1923), almost destroyed Russia as we know it today. This is why Putin is working hard to restore what the Bolsheviks destroyed.
This is where the problems in Ukraine and Crimea start. it`s also called the Soviet-Ukrainian War, or Ukrainian Civil War, which is the term commonly used in post-Soviet Ukraine for the events taking place between 1917 – 1921, nowadays regarded essentially as a war between the Ukrainian People`s Republic and the Bolsheviks. The war ensued soon after the October Revolution when Lenin dispatched Antonov`s expeditionary group to Ukraine and Southern Russia.
Soviet historical tradition viewed it as an occupation of Ukraine by military forces of Western and Central Europe, including the Polish Republic`s military, the Bolshevik victory constituting Ukraine`s liberation from these forces.
Conversely, modern Ukrainian historians consider it a failed war of independence by the Ukrainian People`s Republic against the Bolsheviks.
In Soviet historiography and terminology, the armed conflict is depicted as part of the greater Russian Civil War in Ukraine, this war was fought between the national government and the Bolshevik government (led by Lenin).
The war may be divided into three phases:
December 1917 – April 1918: Revolutionary days, Bolshevik uprisings, invasion of the Red Guards formations, signing of protectorate treaty, and liberation from bolsheviks.
December 1918 – December 1919: Civil war in Ukraine, invasion of the Red Army, unification of Ukraine, anti-Soviet peasant uprisings, Denikin’s Volunteer Army and the Allied intervention, loss of West Ukraine to Poland.
Spring 1920 – Autumn 1921: Polish-Soviet War (Treaty of Warsaw), Russian Civil War (between Bolsheviks armies and the armed Forces of South Russia), Ukrainian guerrilla operations (First and Second Winter Campaigns), government in exile.
In October 1917 the government of Ukraine denounced the Bolshevis’ armed revolt and declared it would decisively fight against any attempted coup in Ukraine. The Kyiv Military District command tried to prevent a Bolshevik coup, leading to street fights and eventually surrendering of pro-Bolshevik troops in the city.
On November 20, 1917, the Rada declared Ukraine the Ukrainian People`s Republic as an autonomous part of the Russian Republic and scheduled on January 9, 1918, elections to a Ukrainian Constituent Assembly.
The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing war primarily involving Russia, Belarus, and pro-Russian forces on one side, and Ukraine on the other. The war we see today isn`t a new one. It has been going on since February 2014 in the wake of the Revolution of Dignity and focused on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, which are internationally recognized as part of Ukraine.
Nikita Khruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine for free in 1954. That transfer was illegal under Soviet law and violated both the Constitution of the Soviet Union and the Constitution of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. This is how Putin and Russia now are building back better.
They want to have Crimea and Ukraine back again because it has been a part of Russia. How legitimate is it that Crimea is given to Ukraine by a drunken Nikita Khruschev? It is also given to Ukraine that is also stolen during the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. The communists have done so damage to Russia, and Putin is trying to fix it. By diplomatic solutions or by war and bombs.
In a speech live on TV, on 24 February, Putin said; «The goal is to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years. And for this, we will strive for the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine, as well as bringing to justice those who committed numerous, bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation.»
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the first Jewish President of Ukraine. He is a former actor and comedian. Another puppet on the scene with a lot of neo-Nazis hiding behind the scenes. A trick to make people blindsided.
Zelenskyy is a populist. He has also positioned himself as an anti-establishment, and anti-corruption figure. He became a President in 2019, promised to end Ukraine`s protracted conflict with Russia as part of his presidential campaign, and attempted to engage in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The US government has alluded to intelligence indicating that the Kremlin is preparing lists of Ukrainians to be killed or put in camps. The alleged lists include journalists.
So, what Putin is talking about is what NATO and the West don`t want to talk about; Azov Battalion, which is a group of a neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine. Azov initially formed as a volunteer militia on 5 May 2014 during the Odessa clashes. On 12 November 2014, Azov was incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine, and since then all members are contract soldiers serving in the National Guard of Ukraine.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the Azov Battalion`s extremist politics and professional English social media pages have attracted foreign fighters, including people from Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Greece, Scandinavia, Spain, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Russia.
About 50 Russian nationals are members of the Azov regiment. The group has used Facebook to recruit far-right individuals from other countries within Europe. In 2019, under Facebook`s Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy, support for the group was not allowed, although this was temporarily relaxed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Reports published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have connected the Azov Battalion to war crimes such as mass looting, unlawful detention, and torture.
An OHCHR report from March 2016 stated that the organization had «collected detailed information about the conduct of hostilities by Ukrainian armed forces and the Azov regiment in and around Shyrockyne from the summer of 2014 to date.
Mass looting of civilians’ homes was documented, as well as targeting of civilian areas between September 2014 and February 2015.
MSM doesn`t talk about this. What they talk about is people supporting Ukraine and that some people are moving to Ukraine to join the Nazi forces. We also see that many countries like Germany are supporting Ukraine with weapons.
This war is also a war against the European globalists.
The U.K is out of the EU with a Brexit slam dunk, and PM Boris Johnson is building back better. Biden is also building back better, but what happens if the U.S is pulling out as a leader from the West? If so, and Europe is building its own weapon arsenal, then this world will become even more dangerous, and Europe will be changed forever.

Afghanistan is a beautiful country, and only a few decades ago, people in Kabul were singing and dancing to live music and had fun. Kabul was probably much better than European countries. So, what in the world went wrong in Afghanistan?
Afghanistan had cinemas, restaurants and hotels, and people who lived in Kabul four decades ago describes it as romantic and better than Europe. They have high mountains and the weather is often sunny. It`s one of the best countries in Asia.
But something happened. Someone took the country.
In the 1960`s the King and the Queen opened up the country to the world after centuries of isolation. They also enabled women to partisipate in public life. They became feminists without even knowing what it was all about.
In 1964, according to the constitution, women also got the right to wote. Everything was fine and there was no segregation between men and women. Kabul was a modern city. People were dressed like Western people. They were listening to Western music and thought the Western style was the right thing for them.
People were poor but very happy, but then a lot of tourists came in to Kabul. And suddenly, it was time for a «hippy» era. Just like the West. Hippy music. Hippy fitness. A hippy style society. Tourists went to historical places to see Buddah.
But then, something happened.
A Western-style protest movement started in Afghanistan. Students began talking about Revolution. They talked about Communism and women`s rights. They said it should be more equality between men and women. Nor should it be discrimination.
Kabul became more and more like the Western world, but some people didn`t like that. And that was people in Pedesaan were 80 percent of the population live. Afghanistan had a conflict going on.
Pedesaan was way ahead of the modern city Kabul, and people didn`t like the changes. People in Pedesaan was more conservative and people were following tribal traditions and the teachings of Islam.
Women were isolated and could be forced to mirrage with someone they didn`t love. The Muslims were worried about the progress in Kabul. The problem at that time is that people were sleeping. They didn`t see the real problem. And the problem was their own «class difference.»
In the early 70`s, the first Islamic organisation was founded. Their goal was to protect their traditional lifestyle. It was the birth of the political Islamism in Afghanistan. This is the era were people in Afghanistan became divided in two groups.
Left and Right.
Communists on the left side, and Islamists on the right side.
The Islamist movement were blaming Communists, and Communists were blaming Islamists and the problems escalated. No one were able to guide the people and a blamegame started istead of keeping the great value of national unity among the people.
To everybody`s surprise; the communists managed to take power. First in 1973. It was a coup and they overthrow the monarchy. And now, the country became a republic with its first ever president.
Mohammed Daoud Khan became a President of Afghanistan from 1973 to 1978. Mohammed was a cusine of the former King, but in 1978, the communists desided that their time has come and seized power for themselves.
In just one night, they killed Daoud Khan and 23 members of his family. The communists called the bloody take over «april revolution.» (this is the same mindset as the Leninist communist in Soviet when they killed the Romanov family in their communist revolution).
The communist party coup took place in Kabul on April 28, 1978.
The new government tried to form the country into a new communist country thru radical reforms. People in Kabul had red flags and the communists took all oppositions. The communists first target were Muslims. (this is similar to the CCP today).
The communists arrested you if you were praying. You would also go to jail. This time was the most brutal time of the history of the country. Thousands of people was taken and all of the disappeared.
The communists took teachers that talked about religion. Many of them were dropped by a plane. Isamic activists started to build activist groups in 1979 and one of them was a group called Mujahideen (fighters of the holy was).
This revolution is an Islamic revolution, Islamist Party Leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar said. Their goal was to establish a pure Islamic system in Afghanistan. Freedom and liberation of Afghanistan.
In Moscow, former Second Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev was worried. Afghanistan was a nabouring communist state, and a successful Islamic revolution could send a dangerous message to the 50 million Muslims in the USSR.
Brezhnev dicided to send in troops in December 27, 1979. and that was the beginning of a long and expensive war that led to bankruptsy.
10,000 prisoners were released in one day. For some it was hard to find back to their own family members. Afghanistan was under forign occupation.
Afghanistan changed like never before. People were leaving because it was not their country anymore. Others were chanting «allahu akbar» at night, and thousands were protesting on the streets.
The Communists in Soviet Union supported the brutal communist regime in Afghanistan and that wasn`t music for the people. The resistance among the people were growing and they distrubuted papers at night and wrote on the walls; Long live Islam.
In the United States, they were quick to react to the Soviet offensive.
Afghanistan became the new epicenter of the Cold War.
US President Jimmy Carter said in a speech that the Soviet invation was an extremely threat to peace. Carter also said that Soviet now can control much of the world`s oil supply.
Washington started to support Mujahideen with money and weapons.
US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brezezinski appeared to Afghanistan`s religion pride in 1980 when he visited Pakistan. One day, he said, you will take your country back because God is on your side.
The communists had big problems to fight back against the Mujahideen guerillas. The only place the communist had control was in Kabul. The communist government said no to women education. No freedom for women. So, women was used as a political tool. But people didn`t like it at all.
The Mujahdin used terrorist attacks in Kabul to destabilise the society. It was too dangerous to be there, so 3 million went to Pakistan or Iran to join their Muslim brothers. Peshawar near Islamabad in Pakistan became a hotspot of resistance.
They got the weapons they needed in Pakistan. And a Sudi also set up a camp there. His name was Osama Bin Laden. He recruited and supported all foriegn fighters from all over the Arab world to join the Afghan jihad. Radical Islam spread in the refugee camp. They started to brainwash the children and they are the one who became Taliban.
The countries that were involved trained conservative people and made monsters to get rid of the USSR. But the biggest problems was to know who the civilians and who the enemies was.
The war in Afghanistan was very expensive for the USSR, and in 1986, Mikhail Gorbachev desiced to withraw his troops. He said; «Counterrevolution and imperialism have turned Afghanistan into a bleeding wound.
We should like, in the nearest future, to withdraw the Soviet troops stationed in Afghanistan.» They took the troops out of Afghanistan in 1989.
People in Afghanistan were so happy. Finally, the USSR are going back home. And the people was feeling free. They won the war.
But, a lot of things happened. It wasn`t over.
The communist government still had control over Kabul, and was the final obstacle to become an Islamic republic. In other words; the war was not yet over. On April 24, 1992, The Mujahideen took control over Kabul.
It was a critical moment were the Mujahideen took over the presidential palace. The dream to become an independent Isamist state was on the way to be fulfilled. But instead, other groups of people started to fight against each other to take back the control. A new civil war started. Everybody was fighting against everybody.
Instead of confronting each other, they used civil women and child as tools in a brutal war. The fighters could have killed each other but they killed civilans instead.
Now, Kabul was stigmatized. Isolated from the rest of the world. Deserted by Westerners. The British embassy was closed. The US embassy was closed. The French embassy was also closed.
«My feeling is that the UN and the Western powers were interested in Afghanistan as long as we fought against the USSR. Against communism. It was a common enemy. Then their interest completely disappeared. They abandoned us,» Mujahideen Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud said back then.
Many different groups of people were fighting against each other but nobody knew why they were fighting. It`s between commanders they said. They attacked civilians and especially woman. They raped them and cut of their breasts.
In 1994, a new force emerged; The Taliban. An Arabic name for «students.» many of them came from Quran-schools. The Taliban promised to restore peace, order and morality. They had massive support from Pakistan. Many of them were grown up in refugee camps in Pakistan.
When Taliban came, they were welcomed by the people in Afghanistan. Finally, someone who wants to restore peace, order and morality. People thought that Taliban will take over the country and everything will be fine again. People supported them.
The Taliban took Kabul on September 27, 1996.
The Taliban changed Afghanistan repidly. The banned alcohol, films and all forms for entertainment. They smashed all Televisions on the streets. The Taliban ended the civil war and made peace.
But, they also took people`s freedom. What is peace without freedom?
Women suffered the most. They were fobidden to study or work. Girls were banned from school. They closed all the schools after the Islamic revolution. It was very sad for the kids, because the couldn`t learn to read and write.
The Taliban send people to the mosque and ban people from going out because these all are Islamic laws. They hunted all the women in Afghanistan. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing that? And so on. If someone say it is extremist, so be it, Taliban said.
Afghanistan became a hotpad for Islamic fundamentalism and it was under the Taliban protection that Osama Bin Laden returned to the country after a long war against the USSR. Osama Bin Laden founded the terrorist network Al-Qaeda to carry out a global jihad.
One of the attacks is said to be September 11. President Bush started a new war in Afghanistan. A few weeks after the attack on twin towers, the British and US soldiers attacked Al Quada leaders and their training camps.
The end of the Taliban regime ended on November 13, 2001.
People in Afghanistan was happy. Now, they are free. Taliban is gone and the United States will bring peace and freedom to Kabul and Afghanistan. Finally. People could go back to school again. Women could start to work again. They were free.
On a NATO command, 52 countries were placed in Afghanistan and in 2003, people voted for a new government. They tried to establish a new democracy. They were working hard to develop a new constitution.
December 17, 2003 – Constitutional Convention.
Millions of dollars were sent to Afghanistan to rebuild the country and establish a new democracy. But the money came into the pockets of the war lords who had, once again, returned to power. Rich people built supermarkets and houses like the one in Europe. Poor people remained poor.
Corruption started to emerge and new conflicts was rising. Corruption to access education, health care, jobs and justice. That alone has huge impact on the election and the politics.
Taliban recruited new members and prepared a new comeback. Despite the escalating violence, 2014 saw the withdrawal of most international coalition troops. Many aid organizations likewise left the country.
In February 2020, the US signed a peace agreement with the Taliban and announced the complete withdrawl of its troops within 14 months. But the Taliban have subsequently taken advantage of the resulting vacuum and the fragility of Afghan democracy to overrun the country.
The future and security of Afghanistan and its women is once again in jeoparady.
In August 2021, the Taliban overruns nearly all major Afghan cities in just 10 days. On 15 August, they enter Kabul. The Afghan government hands over power to the Taliban.
Afghanistan is the land of endless wars. They fought against Alexander the Great, Djengis Khan and Britain. Now, they are fighting against Taliban. 80 percent of the population is depressed. They have lost their hope and dreams. Does it stop here, and what is the next chapter?

Angelina Jolie`s father Jon Voight is speaking up about the U.S election in a new pro-Trump video on YouTube. He talks about the lie that Biden has been chosen as we don`t know the truth yet. This is our greatest fight since the civil war, he said.
The battle of righteousness vs. Satan.
He also said that the people on the left side is evil and corrupt. They want to tear down this nation, he said in the video. We must fight this corruption, and fight for the good that seems lost. Let us fight this fight as if it is our last fight on earth, he said.
Millions of people protested in a Million Maga March in Washington this weekend, and Alex Jones had a speech during this rally. He said the far-left people are Satanists and Pedophiles and that they are evil.
What we see is their desperate operation against humanity, Jones said. They control the corporations, Hollywood, blue and red states, and the government. They will stay lockdown until you all go on welfare, and till you all have Universal Income, Alex Jones said.
The Million MAGA March saw those involved marching from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court. People chanted «Death to Communism, Stop the steel, and four more years.»
This is deeper and more serious for the United States than we all thought. It`s important to make sure that the election was fair, and Trump`s lawyers who claim they have evidence of massive fraud are calling for Kraken.
This election is far from over.
