Nine Eleven, 2001, with its Manhattan jolter and the lengthy “War on Terror” it unleashed was a watershed in our recent history. The “attack” on the Twin Towers seemed to have afforded the Anglo-American elite a long-awaited pretext for imparting an irreversible turn of the screw in the techno-fascist regimentation of our world.

This inciting incident opened prairies for Geo-Hollywood’s producers and screenwriters, who showered us with a preposterous saga inspired by yesteryear’s bogus slogans of “civilizations clashing,” a saga of crazed sheiks creeping out of hidden Kasbahs in the Hindu Kush followed by swaths of bigoted assassins, the Taliban, intent on blasting us all out of (western) (in-)existence.

The phantasmagoric mise-en-scène of “terror by way of Islam” was televised for the length of three decades at the end of which, in 2021, America demobilized her troops from a bloody, twenty-year-long disfigurement of Afghanistan. Without rhyme or reason, and ten years after the media announced the retaliatory execution of the “evil emir” bin Laden, allegedly the mastermind of it all, the Americans departed, entrusting the devastated country to their former arch-enemies —the Taliban monsters themselves,— who thereupon graduated on the world scene to trustworthy statesmen.

Behind this wholly fabricated (and hypnotically outlandish) narrative —N.B., there is no resurgent Islam, no Al Qaeda, no bin Laden, there are no “civilizations” and there is no terrorism: rather, these are dramatic artefacts that altogether make up a theatrical production with real killings staged by Intelligence apparatuses; behind this colossal snuff-extravaganza, whose reality virtually no soul has dared to impugn, there lay in fact, two concurrent aims: first, draw back western subjects to the Homeland’s bosom by haunting their psyches with new, exotic phantasms; and second, preserve America’s chief means of imperial expropriation by taking military hold of the heroin traffic in Afghanistan and thereby re-conveying to Wall Street the cash dollars previously hoarded by organized crime in central Asia.
