83 soldiers died at Fort Bragg in the 18 months ending June 2021. Only 11 of those deaths were from natural causes. Fort Bragg hasn’t announced any fatalities since then. They’re still happening, but the base has gone dark.

Here are nine more US soldiers, all in their 20s or 30s, who recently died at Fort Bragg from “undetermined” causes, or after being discovered “unresponsive” in their bunks. How can the US Army not know what is killing these soldiers? No comment from Fort Bragg.

Incredible. The leader of "ISIS-K" was a contractor at Bagram, then worked security for drug lord Rashid Dostum, a top CIA proxy. He later worked for Amrullah Saleh, chief of the NDS, literally the CIA's righthand man in Afghanistan. It's right there on the Wikipedia page.

This is the US drone base in Niger. It cost $100 million to build. More than a 1,000 American troops are stationed there. You did not vote for this. Neither did Nigeriens. You cannot change it. Neither can they. This is what the State Dept means when they talk about democracy.

For 20 years, we were told us that the Taliban was behind the huge flows of heroin coming out of Afghanistan. It was actually CIA-backed drug lords like Wali Karzai, Rashid Dostum, and others. As soon as the US withdrew, opium production ended.

Once Gaza has been rendered uninhabitable, the West will blame it all on Netanyahu, the great Sin-Eater of apartheid Israel. His historical role is to carry out the genocide that all of Israel desires to commit, absorb the world's opprobrium, then retire, go to prison, or die.

It's crazy how many Fort Bragg (a.k.a. Fort Liberty) soldiers have been convicted of raping children lately. It's even crazier how many of them served in Afghanistan, where for years US soldiers were falsely taught that "boy play" was just part of Afghan culture. A few examples:
