Suspended Afghan MP - war crimes & Mafia government

[outsider]

I heard Malalai Joya speak at a Stop the War-organised meeting at Conway Hall in Central London last Thursday - she was absolutely fantastic. She tells it like it is - everyone interested in the occupation of Afghanistan should read her book 'Raising My Voice' (incidently, all profits of book go to humanitarian projects in Afghanistan - and she is a hands-on pperson who will personally ensure dosh goes directly to the grass-roots projects).
What a lady, (she has survived 5 assassination attempts, and only survives due to the one advantage of the 'burqa', (which she detests wearing): it affords a very good disguise), and what a book!
She cannot appear publicly (except with copius local protection) since openly stating before Parliament that it was full of Warlords and Drug Barons, who should be tried for their atrocities instead of being MP's and feted.

Read her book. It is absolutely one of the best books I've ever read (and I'm only half way through it). She speaks, writes and lives for her people.
May God protect and reward her; those of us who pray should remember her in our prayers.
She also said, in the meeting and in her book, that Mohammed Karzai is an American Puppet, and that she wants all the foreign troops out.

Here is a link to the Canadian guy's website who helped her with the book (he was in Conway Hall too):

As you can see, the Guardian ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jul/25/afghanistan-occupa tion-taliban-warlords ) and Independent ( http://www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2009/07/28/malalai-joya-the-woman-who- will-not-be-silenced.html ) had articles by or about her. And, though she believes the 'Official Story' about 9/11, I don't think she will for long, because I gave her five DVD's (most with two or three videos on, and one of Belinda's excellent, multi-faceted leaflets, with masses of good websites on.
I also managed to ask a question in the hall, 'Do the Afghan people know that Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11', but the StW people ensured she did not answer that one (they must have been kicking themselves that they hadn't recognised me, otherwise I would not have got 'chosen' to ask question).
Still, not such a bad thing I didn't get an answer, as as I said above, she believes the 'Official' line (but methinks not for long!).

The inspirational anti-war Afghan MP Malalai Joya was joined on the platform by Lance Corporal Joe Glenton, a serving British soldier who was speaking in public for the first time against the horror caused by the war in Afghanistan.

Malalai Joya really is one of the bravest women in Afghanistan. She told the 300-strong audience at Conway Hall in central London that shes survived five assassination attempts and is still not safe with personal security guards or by wearing a burkha to cover her identity. Yet she continues to campaign against foreign occupation and fundamentalist warlords, and for womens rights and education. She believes all NATO troops must leave Afghanistan immediately.

Somehow even I sometimes get near despair (but don't worry, I'll keep on ploding and slogging on). Virtually no hits on this thread.

Just in case you're wondering 'So? What's the big deal?', how about this, on an Amazon search:

Your search "Malalai Joya + Raising My Voice" did not match any products.

I've read a lot of books (I'm sure I'm not alone in that), but I think that Malalai's book is the most moving book I have ever read. Yet Amazon doen't stock it? Such a thing!

No sweat; go to <www.rbooks.co.uk> or phone 020 7840 8487.

But please, if you're worried about repercussions, don't bother. BE AWARE: THE NWO DO NOT WANT YOU TO READ MALALAI'S BOOK.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Can anyone out there boost this? This book is dynamite, re the 'Good War' in Afghanistan. Come on, where is your head?

I've hit on the thread, Paul, but unfortunately the sound quality on the video is not good enough for me to make out what she's saying.

[TonyGosling]

The sound quality is not bad I reckon.
Problem is you have to listen intently through her strong Afghan accent to hear what she's saying.
I sat through it because she talks with such passion and reflects my view that Afghanistan - as Harry Patch not Richard 'mutley' Dannatt* thought - is far worse now under Western Mafia control than it was before 9/11.

* did you see him today with all his medals stupidly implying that Iraq and Afghanistan were somehow honourable wars?

Here is a linked thread, re the same Conway Hall meeting:

John Simpson just interviewed Malalai Joya at home in Kabul tonight on the main BBC news.
He mentioned the corruption but didn't mention that the Western Mafia are running the country.

The reporting from Afghanistan on today's news bulleting has been disgusting and even laughable. They are trying to present foreign troops as social workers with guns.....

...there to bring the Afghans democracy, freedom and education for little girls.

Imperialism? Trying to establish regional hegemony?

What!!!

The thought never crossed my mind, gov.

The British ambassador in Kabul even had the nerve to mention the 'War on Drugs'. This indescribably cynical rewriting of history and distorting of current reality was a laugh-out-loud moment that disappeared from later bulletins.

Britain and the USA will be forced out of Afghanistan long before the 30 or 40 years, that are promised in this 'generational war', are up. The American Empire is financially on the point of collapse. Surely Russia and China will never tolerate a resolution to the coming financial crisis that leaves the US army swaggering aroud their borders.
If no deal can be done then The Chinese will surely drive 'us' (the poor fools risking their lives in service of western banking interests) out of Afghanistan with little difficulty.

We are in a most dire situation. The future in the short term is terrifying indeed.
