MI6 distributes ‘ghost money’ as bribes to Afghan warlords, drug cartels
Britain’s foreign spying apparatus MI6 has been funneling tens of millions of pounds to corrupt officials in Afghanistan as bribes in a corrupt attempt to buy influence in the country.
According to western media reports, MI6 is secretly spending UK taxpayers’ money in the form of ‘ghost money’ bribes in Afghanistan to prop up warlords and corrupt authorities.
MI6 has a long history of trying to buy influence in countries of interest.
The spying apparatus “financed a 'ragtag group of extremists' headed up by a Libyan military intelligence officer in 1995-96 in an illegal attempt to try to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi. The attack went wrong and innocent people were killed. When this scandal was exposed, it caused an outcry”, said Annie Machon, a British writer and public speaker.
“Yet a mere 15 years later, MI6 was back in Libya, providing support to the same 'rebels,' who this time succeeded in capturing, torturing and killing Gaddafi”, Machon added.
As for Syria, MI6 has already been training and providing equipment to terrorists fighting the popular government of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Many of those terrorists with the al-Nusra front have already announced allegiance to al-Qaeda in Iraq.
MI6 and its sister spying agency CIA of America use drones to murder same terrorists “as well as innocent civilians” in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which they are now supporting in Syria.
Afghanistan is the world's leading producer of heroin, and the UN reports show that poppy cultivation has increased dramatically in the country. The UN estimates that acreage under poppy growth in Afghanistan has tripled over the last years.
Meanwhile, the value of the drug trade to the Afghan warlords is now estimated to be in the region of $700 million per year.
This comes as the Western imperialism led by the U.S. warmongers are bankrupting themselves to fight the so-called 'war on terror,' violating international laws and murdering millions of innocent people across North Africa, the Middle East and central Asia, while at the same time shredding what remains of their people’s hard-won civil liberties at home.
