Continuation from Friday…..While most people are aware of singular events throughout history, they often have a difficult time connecting events all the way back to their origin. September 11th, 2001 presents us with a perfect case study. And while most people believe that the crimes that were perpetrated on that day had originated in the late 1990’s, the actual trigger point had occurred much earlier than that. In 1979 to be exact.
Let us now follow this chain of events from the start.
- The US and the Soviet Union continue on with their proxy and covert wars throughout the world (1945-1979). In the late 1970s, the Middle East region becomes increasingly important.
- In the late 1970’s Afghanistan goes through a number of rapid regime changes. A number of Soviet politicians are captured and decapitated by “Islamic Militants”
- The Red Army floods over the border in 1979, the Afghans are no match for the Soviet military machine.
- Hundreds of thousands of Mujahedeen flood into Afghanistan from all over the Middle East to fight in the name of Allah and against the Soviet “nonbelievers”.
- The Soviet Union proceeds to level the country over the next 5 years. The Mujahedeen forces are decimated. The Red Army is nearly in full control of the country.
- In 1986, the CIA introduces Stinger Missile system to Afghanistan as it begins to supply the Mujahedeen with the weapon. It’s a game changer. Soviet planes and helicopters start to drop from the sky, reversing the tide of the war.
- With the financial, arms and logistics support from the US, Osama Bin Laden quickly rises through the ranks to become one of the leaders within the Mujahedeen movement.
- The USA drops Afghanistan and any support for the Mujahedeen, like a hot potato, as soon as the Soviet Union decided to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1988-1989. Enraging Osama Bin Laden in the process.
- The Gulf War. The US sends a large contingent of troops to be stationed in Saudi Arabia in the 1990. Osama Bin Laden becomes further enraged and vows to wage war against the US.
- Between 1990 and 2000 Osama Bin Laden launches a number of smaller terrorist attacks against the US and its interests.
- September 11th, 2001.
Point being, September 11th, 2001 didn’t come out of the blue. A direct lineage to that horrible event can be traced back to at least 1979 and the power struggle between the US and the Soviet Union. The World War II can be easily traced back to the World War I in the very same fashion. In fact, historians who can see such lineages should be incredibly concerned of what is happening between the US and Russia at the present moment.

P.S. Boy…….I wonder how many keyword red flags this post set off at the NSA.
