Taliban blames America for 9/11 in video celebrating its own suicide squads
The Taliban blames America for the 9/11 hijackings in a newly-released video that was aired on Afghan television. The production, “Victorious Force 3,” is the latest in a series of short films celebrating the Taliban’s “martyrdom-seeking” squadrons — that is, the units responsible for conducting complex suicide attacks.
The nearly 40-minute film, which was broadcast on Afghanistan’s national RTA television station, is intended to commemorate the Taliban’s victory over the U.S.-backed government and Western forces. The Taliban describes America as the true “terrorist” party, while blaming the U.S. for the 20-year war.
The September 11, 2001 “attacks were the result of the United States’ policy of aggression against the Muslim world,” the narrator says. Reenactments and archival footage of the 9/11 hijackings are shown on screen as the narrator faults America and the West for al Qaeda’s deadliest day.
The Taliban has never accepted responsibility for harboring and working with al Qaeda prior to 9/11. The two remain intertwined to this day.
For nearly two decades, the Taliban has offered the same defense of 9/11 given in “Victorious Force 3.” For example, the Taliban’s founder and first emir, Mullah Omar, blamed U.S. “policy” for the 9/11 hijackings. In an interview conducted in late September 2001, Omar said “America has created the evil that is attacking it,” adding that this “evil will not disappear even if I die and Osama [bin Laden] dies and others die.”
Omar defied America by refusing to turn over bin Laden after the hijackings — a fact that Taliban and al Qaeda supporters have celebrated once again in recent weeks.
The Taliban has repeated Omar’s justifications for 9/11 many times since 2001. In mid-2019, for instance, the Taliban claimed that 9/11 was a “heavy slap on their dark faces,” adding it “was the consequence of their interventionist policies and not our doing.” The U.S. was negotiating with the Taliban at the time, yet the brazen production did nothing to stop Washington from endorsing the Taliban as its supposed counterterrorism partner.
In more recent weeks, the Taliban’s spokesman has claimed that there is “no proof” Osama bin Laden was even responsible for 9/11. This is an obvious lie, as al Qaeda itself has repeatedly boasted of its responsibility for the hijackings.
There is no explicit mention of al Qaeda in “Victorious Force 3.”
“Afghans were not involved in these attacks,” the narrator says. While true, it is also meaningless. America invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because al Qaeda’s headquarters was located there, all 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were trained in the country, and Mullah Omar refused to turn over bin Laden or any other al Qaeda leader.
The narrator of “Victorious Force 3” claims the U.S. and its allies “launched a military invasion without considering the reasonable stance of the Islamic Emirate on the issue.” He pivots to another old Taliban motif, namely that the war was really intended to topple the Taliban’s Islamic government.
The U.S. “invaded Afghanistan and deprived Afghans [of an] Islamic system,” the narrator claims, adding that the West “inflicted on Afghans the most notorious type of democracy, [with] the most infamous faces in modern history.” The U.S. supposedly “insisted on changing the intellectual and ideological boundaries of Afghans, and did not refrain from any kind of cruelty and atrocities to force Afghans to accept their aggression.”
After portraying America as the aggressor in 2001 and throughout the war, the narrator argues that “the Muslim nation of Afghanistan was forced to stand up against terrorist America and its allies, to cleanse its soil of their filthy existence and to regain its independence, bring and establish an Islamic system of their choice.”
That “system” is the Taliban’s own Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The editors of “Victorious Force 3” flash an image of Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad on screen. Khalilzad negotiated the withdrawal agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban, which paved the way for the jihadists’ final victory.
“Praise be to Allah, the sincere struggle of the Afghans has paid off, the invaders are flowing from Afghanistan and their puppet regime is collapsed,” the narrator says.
Suicide squads march at the Al-Fatih military camp
Much of “Victorious Force 3” is devoted to a celebration of the Taliban’s “martyrdom-seeking” units, which played a a prominent role in the group’s military victories. A narrator crows that “under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate,” Afghanistan “now has a strong political position and [an] advanced military, jihadi, and martyrdom seeking force,” which “is fully prepared and proud to make any sacrifice to defend its faith, land, and independence against any terrorist.”
A delegation from the Taliban’s military commission is shown arriving at Al-Fatih military camp. Their faces are blurred so as to obscure their identity. An “honor” guard appears before them before the delegation inspects “various martyrdom-seeking squads” in a “military parade.”
It is not clear if Mohammad Yaqub, the son of Mullah Omar, is present during the ceremony. Yaqub is a deputy emir in the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate and also the head of its military commission. An audio clip of Yaqub praising the Taliban’s suicide squads plays as the units march in front of a viewing lodge, where the military committee’s delegation sits.
“The Martyrdom-seeking force of [the] Islamic Emirate is a force that has made great sacrifices over the past 20 years for independence, defence of the beloved country and establishment of an Islamic system,” Yaqub says. “We appreciate all these sacrifices of the Martyrdom-seeking force of Islamic Emirate. And we consider them as benefactors, may Allah make their sacrifices acceptable…”
“The Martyrdom-seeking force now has a heavy responsibility,” Yaqub explains. “They will be the basic force in protection of Islamic Emirate and the Islamic system.”
That is, even though the war against the U.S.-backed government has been won, the “martyrdom-seeking” units are not done fighting.
“We will increase our efforts many folds to strengthen and equip this force, we will recruit all the righteous cadres who are skilled in various military arts, and in this regard we will effectively use all resources in accordance with the guidelines of Islamic Sharia,” Yaqub says. “All the people of Afghanistan must carry out the duty of jihadi training as much as possible, every citizen must be [a] capable military mujahid and must be ready at any moment to defend independence, land and the Islamic system.”
A speaker emphasizes that the work of the “martyrdom-seeking” squadrons isn’t finished, congratulating them “on the successful completion of the first phase of your mission.” Moreover, the speaker claims that the “current” problems encountered by “the Islamic Ummah are due to negligence in military training,” meaning the worldwide community of Muslims should receive similar instruction.
Several martyrdom-seeking units march
The video showcases the “military skills and tactics” of several different types of “martyrdom-seeking” units. A speaker describes the role played by each squadron as its men march in front of the viewing lodge. Each unit wears different garb signifying their specialization.
First is the “vest coat martyrdom-seekers squadron,” which “destroys enemy gatherings, infantry patrols, and high-ranking officials.” As the name of this outfit implies, its members wear explosive vests.
The second squadron is comprised of “martyrdom-seekers” who emply “artillery and heavy car bombs.” This group is trained to initiate “large and heavy attacks” to “destroy the enemy’s fast moving targets, military fortifications, airfields, oil and weapons depots and other facilities.”
The third “martydom-seekers” is responsible for “infiltration operations,” in which its members “carry out covert infiltration operations in enemy bases to destroy key enemy officials and individuals.”
The fourth “martyrdom-seeker” group is dedicated to “infantry” operations, in which its members “destroy the enemy’s stationary and moving targets in face-to-face attacks and ambushes.”
The fifth unit shown is the “laser martyrdom-seeking squadron,” which “destroys enemy security personnel and patrols [with] their laser precision strikes.” Such operations are intended to “provide the Mujahideen with the opportunity to carry out successful offensive[s].”
The sixth “martyrdom-seeker group” is dedicated to “conducting special military operations against important military and intelligence targets.”
The seventh and final “martyrdom-seeking” squadron is dedicated to “urban commando operations.” This “group destroys enemy’s stationary and moving targets in the cities.” It also “purge[d] administrative and military installations from the enemy’s presence and brought them under their control.”
After all seven units march in front of the viewing lodge, the Taliban displays the various “heavy” and “light” weapons they use, as well as “various types of mines.” The “most prominent” weapons are the “yellow barrel, vest bomb and car bomb,” a speaker says.
After all of the ominous imagery, “Victorious Force 3” closes with a benign-sounding statement from the Taliban’s “Emir of the Faithful,” Hibatullah Akhundzada, who sacrificed his own son in a suicide bombing in 2017.
“After withdrawal of all foreign forces from the country we want good and strong diplomatic, economic and political relations with the rest of the world, including United States, within the framework of mutual interaction and commitment, which is better for all sides,” the statement from Akhundzada reads.
Such rhetoric is empty, given that the Taliban still blames America for the 9/11 hijackings while celebrating its own “martyrdom” units.

Ghost Of Jim Crow Kicking Himself As Biden Turns World Into Movie Set Of Mad Max
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first revealing that Russia may recognize the Taliban as Afghan authorities, but only after the formation of a government including minority groups, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stating about this issue: “We stand for the formation of an inclusive coalition government in Afghanistan with the participation of all the country's ethnopolitical forces, including national minorities...The issue of official recognition of the authorities will become relevant after the completion of this process”, says Zakharova next noted that the events in Afghanistan clearly demonstrate the decline of NATO, and further stated: “The situation in Afghanistan has graphically demonstrated that neither NATO in general nor the United States in particular are capable of effectively coordinating their actions…Moreover, the United States has proved to be absolutely impotent as a steering force…And videos of the self-destruction of the ‘invincible machine’, shown across the globe, demonstrate it more convincingly than any military calculations that NATO is an absolute failure as a military-political bloc claiming a leading role in securing world order”.
Security Council Members in this transcript note history showing failing nations like the United States that keep losing wars always lash out with new ones, which the Ministry of Defense (MoD) is constantly preparing for, as evidenced today by the crews of Su-24 bombers and Su-30SM multirole fighters of the Baltic Fleet’s naval aviation delivering precision bombing strikes from an altitude of 2,000-meters against targets that simulated a notional enemy’s command posts, manpower and combat hardware during drills in the Kaliningrad Region—and in response to the call of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for Russia to “disclose details” of the soon to be unleashed Zapad 2021 war exercises, it saw Chairman Leonid Slutsky of the Russian State Duma Committee for Foreign Affairs quickly responding with the declaration: “Russia is not obligated to report to anyone with this tone, especially considering that there are American missile defense systems deployed to Poland and American troops are periodically relocated to countries that are located in direct proximity to Russian borders...Cooperation is a two-way street...The North Atlantic Alliance unilaterally downgraded its level of relations with Russia...This is their choice”.
In Afghanistan itself, this report details, the Taliban is expected to announce today the establishment of an “inclusive government” headed by their “Commander of the Faithful”—a Taliban government that says it has taken control of the strategically important area of the defiant Panjshir Province—last evening saw the Taliban broadcasting to the entire country a documentary blaming the United States for the 11 September 2001 terror attacks, that claims there is no proof Osama bin Laden was even responsible for 9/11—in factual reality saw only Saudi Arabian citizens involved in 9/11—sees it further being reported: “The feelings of betrayal in Afghanistan are all-encompassing and complete…Not a single person was likely left feeling un-abandoned, except for former President Ashraf Ghani who escaped with millions of dollars…Even the Taliban felt the terrible sting of being left behind”—all of which was quickly responded to a few hours ago by Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden, who signed an executive order releasing FBI documents on Saudi-9/11 ties.
This transcript sees Security Council Members noting that the Taliban then announced that China will be Afghanistan’s “most important partner”—an announcement joined by deputy director Abdul Salam Hanafiof of the Taliban’s office in Doha-Qatar pledging to “actively support” the belt and road plan of “trustworthy friend” China—is a One Belt-One Road initiative that seeks to link China with Africa, Asia and Europe through an enormous network of ports, railways, roads and industrial parks—a One Belt-One Road initiative whose signature undertaking is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), into Afghanistan, that encompasses $62-billion in commitments, covering everything from power plants to railways, roads, and a major port facility—is a One Belt-One Road initiative Afghanistan is a formal member of—which allowed, in 2008, a Chinese corporation to win a $3-billion tender to develop the Mes Aynak copper mine in Afghanistan, one of the world’s largest--in 2011, saw another Chinese company winning the right to develop an oil field in Amu Darya-Afghanistan—and with China a leader in mining rare earth metals, it bears noticing that Afghanistan is home to some of the world’s largest rare earth deposits.
Security Council Members in this transcript note that as the events in Afghanistan continue to shift the global power center towards Eurasia, last week it saw Russia's international reserves, the world’s fourth-largest, jumping by $20 billion—international reserves that reached $615.6 billion hitting a new historic high—that was joined by Russia and China continuing to ditch US dollars in settlements in favor of national currencies—all of which is occurring in the dark shadow of the grave warning just issued by the Russian Central Bank that the world could face a disastrous financial crisis in 2023 on the same scale as the devastating 2008-2009 economic crash due to the West’s insane spending over the past 18-months because of their so-called pandemic crisis—is a grave warning whose truth about is known by those like Democrat Party lawmaker US Senator Joe Manchin, who today is being hammered by Biden’s socialist forces because he won’t allow any more spending, and who states: “Over the past 18 months, we’ve spent more than $5 trillion responding to the coronavirus pandemic…Now Democratic congressional leaders propose to pass the largest single spending bill in history with no regard to rising inflation, crippling debt or the inevitability of future crises…Those who believe such concerns are overstated should ask themselves: What do we do if the pandemic gets worse under the next viral mutation?...What do we do if there is a financial crisis like the one that led to the Great Recession?”—and to how actually near a “financial crisis” America really is, it’s no longer a couple of years, but a couple of months—specifically because Republican lawmakers want socialist Democrats to own the coming financial crisis and won’t lift a finger to help with the debt ceiling, as Republicans think that the Democrats should include the increase in the debt limit in their hyper-partisan $3.5 trillion social spending monstrosity, that way, Republican hands would be clean.
With the greater masses of Americans not even being aware of this looming “financial crisis” train wreck about to derail their nation, this report continues, yesterday they were treated with yet another demented spectacle that saw socialist leader Biden insanely saying his “plan is working” in response to one of the worst job reports in US history—after which Biden demanded he be given another $85-billion to prepare for another pandemic, then saw him demanding $80-billion so he can create IRS strike teams to further terrorize citizens—demands coming at the same time Biden lied and said he visited The Tree Of Life Synagogue after its 2018 massacre—a synagogue President Donald Trump did visit to comfort its grieving members—which is why the White House was forced to issue a statement admitting that Biden didn’t tell the truth.
Knowing full well the lies and deceptions of socialist leader Biden, this report notes, are the 1.2-billion black peoples in Africa, less than 2% of whom have gotten even one Covid shot—is a disaster caused by Biden and his socialists playing “Vaccine Apartheid” games with the black peoples of Africa—are black Africans the CDC demands take the lifesaving drug Ivermectin when they become refugees in America—sees the drug Ivermectin having won a Nobel Prize for the millions of lives it has saved—though if any black American, or anyone else, uses Ivermectin to save their life against Covid, these demonic socialists lose their minds—are loyal Biden socialist forces that cheered this week when black conservative icon Candice Owens was denied a Covid test—are loyal Biden socialist forces that cheered last week when the devout Christian wife of black Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West was absurdly arrested for drunk driving, after which all charges were dropped because their wasn’t a trace of alcohol or drugs in her system—are loyal Biden socialist forces that last week cheered black California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder beyond shockingly being branded as the “black face of white supremacy”—are loyal Biden forces that have long cheered leftist social media giant Facebook for banning and censoring Christians and conservatives, but are silent today after it was discovered Facebook is placing the “primate” label for apes and monkeys on videos of black men—all of which is a level of insane socialist racism against blacks so profound, it makes it no wonder why Washington Times journalist Charles Hurt could only compare what is happening to the over 9-million times viewed video made by renowned black comedian Dave Chappelle entitled “Clayton Bigsby, the World’s Only Black White Supremacist”—a farcical video Biden and his deranged and racist socialist forces have turned into real life, and that caused Hurt to exclaim: “The ghost of Jim Crow is kicking himself for not thinking this stuff up…Biden is turning the world into the movie set of Mad Max”.

Special Report from Sister Ciara
My Dearest Friends:
Dr. Jane McGonigal is a world-renowned designer of alternate reality games whose #1 goal in life is to see a game developer win a Nobel Peace Prize—she has created and deployed award-winning games, sports and secret missions in more than 30 countries on six continents—is a future forecaster and Director of Games Research & Development at the Institute for the Future, a non-profit research group in Palo Alto-California—is the author of the groundbreaking book “Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World”—one of whose numerous editorial reviews about includes The Boston Globe saying: “McGonigal proposes a fascinating and provocative, if troubling, manifesto that adds to our understanding of the appeal and potential power of digital games…McGonigal is a clear, methodical writer, and her ideas are well argued…Assertions are backed by countless psychological studies”.
My purpose in bringing your attention to Dr. McGonigal is because of her four defining traits for games—which are 1.) a goal, 2.) rules, 3.) a feedback system and 4.) voluntary participation—are rules for a game whose definitions are: “a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other...a division of a larger contest...the manner of playing in a contest...a particular aspect or phase of play in a game...the set of rules governing a game...the number of points necessary to win”—and today we’ll apply to “The New Great Game”, about which, in 1996, the New York Times stated: “While few have noticed, Central Asia has again emerged as a murky battleground among big powers engaged in an old and rough geopolitical game…Western experts believe that the largely untapped oil and natural gas riches of the Caspian Sea countries could make that region the Persian Gulf of the next century…The object of the revived game is to befriend leaders of the former Soviet republics controlling the oil, while neutralizing Russian suspicions and devising secure alternative pipeline routes to world markets”.
The “goal” of “The New Great Game”, as defined by the United States and its Western allies, is total hegemony over Central Asia and its vast resourses—saw them creating the “rules” of this game that “might makes right”, defined as “superior strength can enforce one's will or dictate justice”—saw them creating the “feedback system” of this game, that controls and regulates its moves, with a distorted political-media generated “feedback loop” best described as “garbage in-garbage out”, a term used to express the idea that incorrect or poor quality input will always produce faulty output—whose “voluntary participation” of the gamers most affected is nonexistent, which is why this game was doomed to fail the very moment it was begun—and whose spectacular failures in this game have been documented by the Costs of War Project, that reports: “Over 801,000 people have died in the post-9/11 wars due to direct war violence, and several times as many due to the reverberating effects of war...Over 335,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting..38 million — the number of war refugees and displaced persons...The US federal price tag for the post-9/11 wars is over $6.4 trillion ...The US government is conducting counterterror activities in 85 countries..The wars have been accompanied by violations of human rights and civil liberties, in the US and abroad”.
The other main player in “The New Great Game” is the People’s Republic of China, who, while the United States and its Western allies were rampaging throughout Central Asia over the past two decades, made its “goal” in this game to gain hegemony over this region and its vital to the world resources—created “local rules” for this game so all the nation’s affected would also be gamers—created a “feedback system” that saw them listening to the concerns of the gamers—all of which ensured the “voluntary participation” of gamers—which is why China is winning this game without having to fire a single shot.
In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s tour of this region marked China’s entry into “The New Great Game”—whose unprecedented return to Central Asia saw them declaring it a lynchpin of their “Silk Road Economic Belt”, that’s formally called the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—which positions Central Asia as the crucial nexus for the cross-regional long-distance loops of trade, investment, and infrastructure development, and Afghanistan provides the final strategic link for the Silk Road’s completion—with Afghanistan falling gives China hegemony over all of Eurasia, which is the largest continental area on Earth, comprising all of Europe and Asia—sees China’s hegemony over Eurasia being secured by the Russia Federation and its world’s largest nuclear weapons arsenal and world’s greatest natural resource wealth valued at over $75-trillion—all of which is exactly why the British parliament this week made their historic move to openly and officially condemn President Joe Biden.
Now in case you haven’t realized this fact yet, Biden is the proverbial “dead man walking”, a term that describes someone in a doomed or untenable situation, especially one about to lose their job—and is why diplomats the world over today are brushing up on their history of Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi—the former Governor of the Bank of Italy and the President of the European Central Bank—but when Italy started to fall to national-populist forces earlier this year, saw the Davos Group installing him as prime minister during their January meeting—who are otherwise known as the World Economic Forum of Western socialist-globalist bankers—who are presently attempting to force on every nation what they call “The Great Reset”, and whose leader Klaus Schwab proclaimed: “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed...In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism”.
Why all of this is vital for you to know is because of Janet Yellen, who was the Chairwoman of the United States Federal Reserve Bank and is now the Secretary of the Treasury—is a socialist-globalist banker facing an America about to soon topple to national-populist forces—and today sees very credible sources warning: “Expect President Yellen in the next six months, effectively appointed by Davos like Mario Draghi was appointed in Italy…They don’t have a lot of time to pull any of this off, no less getting Biden out of office”.
With this “Davos Game” now in play to replace “dead man walking” Biden with Janet Yellen, keep in mind Dr. McGonigal’s four defining traits for games: “a goal, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participation”—and in knowing them, and exactly like “The Great Game”, know for a certainty that this “Davos Game” will end in failure, too—most particularly because you’re hearing this information from a truthful “feedback system” in this game, and you are “voluntarily participating” in it—which means we get to set our own “goal” and “rules” for this game.
The stakes in this new “Davos Game” are high, and include your freedom and the future of your nation—the opposing side in this game is trying to get you to quit playing so they can win, but who know that we’re already winning, because they can see Biden’s rapidly plummeting poll numbers just like we can—and is why today you’re reading media reports saying such things like: “The discontented media have turned their restless gaze to Joe Biden, after the Afghanistan exit debacle, the gaze has turned into a hard stare”.
Finally, the main piece in this game is information, which if dishonest will cause you to lose, but when truthful will see us winning—is truthful information being denied and suppressed so you’ll lose this game—which is why we keep truthful information flowing to you—but we can’t keep doing unless YOU aid in this effort by giving what you can, and is why I’ll leave you today with my most heartfelt plea:
In the coming months, the dimensions of this looming war are going to shift in radical and unforeseen ways—which is why we believe it is your right to know the full truth about what is happening—a truth the demonic enemies of humanity and our God are doing everything in their power to suppress—which is why our Dear Lord ordered us to band together in such times as these to protect one another—a protection we urgently need at this very moment to keep the truth flowing to you—and in aiding us, our Dear Lord has promised you: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
With God,
Sister Ciara
