Its Your Money America!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Posted by Enki

May 2001 - US Secretary of State Colin Powell gave US$ 43,000,000.00 in aid to the Taliban Regime, purportedly to assist farmers who are starving following the destruction of thier OPIUM crops in January on the orders of the Taliban regime. (Source Las Angelas Times, May 22, 2001.)

Two questions come to my mind as I read this, (1) wouldnt it have been a better idea to give them seed to plant a crop of food that can be eaten? (2) So if they were starving, did they eat the money? I know that sounds silly but why didnt we send food if they were starving, or perhaps the money was for some nefarious purpose. Bye for now. Enki

Date: 1/25/2002 11:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 21266    in my own opinion, i think it's strange + ironic that america is bombing their lands AND sending food aid? o_OO_o sounds kinda weird to me. anyway, i think america should keep their money to themselves..for all purposes
  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:23:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Hamb, yep the Government sure does strange things, but they love to take our money from us and spend it elsewhere then wonder why we complain about taxes. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:26:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Absz, nice to see ya on one of my posts. If You look at the date it was in May when they gave this money to the Taliban. In June they were in negotiations with the Taliban to get the okay to lay that infamous pipeline for oil across Afghanistan. At the final meeting in those negotiations they told the Taliban, "We will lay a carpet of gold in Your country or we will lay a carpet of bombs". The Taliban stood up and walked out. The rest is history. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    Ok were are not sending money to the Taliban we are sending it to the Afganistanie's and we are not bombing the people in Afganistan we are bombing Taliban. Jeese really. Bigtex  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 25046    I agree with you...I don't know about our government. I think they are all aliens in disguise.  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    i cant help but imagine how many people in the states that money could have fed. *shakes head*  
Date: 1/25/2002 11:31:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Bigtex, that $43 Million was given to the Taliban Govt. It was a bribe Tex to smooth the way for the negotiations. Problem was the Oil Company Unocal kept lowering thier offers and the Taliban wouldnt accept the offer finally the US negotiators told them, accept it and we will lay a carpet of gold OR we will lay a carpet of bombs. Need I say more. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 3:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 3125    Maybe they grow and sell their Opium for their livelihood..I have heard that opium seeds are edible..hehehe..I wonder if the government would assist me in growing and selling opium..Sounds to me like there might be some good money in that idea..  
Date: 1/26/2002 5:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 13297    Hey Enki, I think it was just a nice story so they didn't have to say we're trying to bribe them for good relations and stave off any kind of war (which we experienced anyway after 9-11). cheers,  
Date: 1/26/2002 6:43:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi DMK, Yes I agree. So much moeny gets wasted by Govt. and the sad thing is it all comes from off of the cheque of us poor folk who work hard for it. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 6:46:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Good Morning Rusure, Yep Poppy growing is big business over there. It keeps the worldwide Heroin trade going. I read an article a few weeks ago and these Poppy growers make a very good living supplying the Heroin trade. They must love Mr. Bush because now that the Taliban are gone the farmers are planting a new crop. I suppose the heroin Traffikers are quite pleased with this as well. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 6:47:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Eimaj, You got it right. Thats what is called putting a spin on the story. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 7:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 22852    I think most of us know the money was sent for other reasons.. Sadly the truth about it all will come to surface.. but it will be to late by then.  
Date: 1/26/2002 7:24:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Stormchaser, so glad Your back. I hope the truth does come out because if it doesnt then we are living in an illusion. Perhaps that is why they are disarming citizens all over the free world, for fear that we learn the real truth about thier manipulations and go and shoot them all. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 10:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    Ya never know, yes we should have sent food and supplies and seeds. Even in other countries sometimes we send food and they never get it. Their own government holds it back.  
Date: 1/26/2002 10:50:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    That is true FB. It is quite obvious though that the $43 Million was a bribe to curry favour with the Taliban just before negotiations for the pipeline began. You can be sure it didnt go to the farmers. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 11:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 33088    Um, Enki. Do you have any figures on the percentage of the opium that goes to the ILLEGAL world trade, and the % that goes to MEDICINAL morphine and opiate derivatives? Just a thought...  
Date: 1/26/2002 11:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 33088    Aslo, I can send you some interesting info on exactly WHO owns the labs creating and storing such things as smallpox viruses, and anthrax research... Murky business indeed!  
Date: 1/26/2002 11:45:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi Amaranth, no I dont know the %'s. I would imagine that most of it goes for the heroin trade though. Yes do send the info on who owns the labs that problably would be a great read. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/26/2002 11:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 33088    It's a SCARY read. That's why I didn't take the lab job last summer!!!  
Date: 1/26/2002 6:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    I agree enki;  
Date: 1/28/2002 9:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 19092    Why does this sound possible??? Has my faith in our government diminished this far?? By the way, don't use such big words, such as "nefarious", I had to use a dictionary to know what you meant, LOL. Your right, it is "nefarious", or "wicked"...  
Date: 1/28/2002 9:22:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Hi King, sorry about that word. Sometimes I get carried away. King, I think that our Govts. have been hijacked by very wealthy folks who dont care about our constitution or bill of rights or any of our rights. They see themselves as superior and a day is coming where they will take all our rights away and rule us as they see fit. This story was posted so the people might catch a glimpse of one of the things that goes on that isnt told to the people. Our media should be covering stuff like this but they only tell us what the Govt. wants us to think. Bye for now. Enki  
Date: 1/28/2002 9:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 33088    Hahaha, Kingy, Don't have an "apoplectic fit" over a word, love! Enki and I DO try! All OUR love,  
Date: 1/28/2002 9:51:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 11528    Okay Sis, if ya say so. Thanks for stopping by. Enki
