Hello, everyone.

This is Ben Norton. You are watching Propaganda today.

And everyone who's watching here can get a sneak peek at an article that I've been working on where I'm going to publish very soon at the gray zone.

It's kind of long, but it's an in-depth

account into this guy here. You can see. The working headline of my change is how elite

US institutions created Afghanistan's corrupt neoliberal president, Ashraf Ghani, who robbed his own

failed puppet regime. And here you can see the photos. On the left, this is, this is

Ashrafgani with the war criminal, former U.S. Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, who was

Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, and she famously was asked in a 60-minute interview if she thought that it was worth

the U.S. sanctions, the U.S.-led UN sanctions regime killing over half a million Iraqi children,

and she said, yes, the price is worth it. In the middle here, you can see Ashraf Ghani as an invited

honorable guest at the NATO summit and he's meeting

with Obama who has a grin and then here in the right side you can see Ashraf Ghani he was an

invited guest an honorary guest and he gave a speech to the joint session of Congress in 2015. And you can see behind him, of course,

he's being applauded by Joe Biden, who at the time was VP and, of course, is now president.

This article goes through the history of Karzai. And I'll just read the summary here,

the subhead kind of summary. Before he stole

$169 million and fled his failed state in disgrace, Afghanistan's puppet president, Ashrafgani,

was formed in elite American universities, given U.S. citizenship, trained in neoliberal economics by the World Bank,

glorified in the media as a, quote, incorruptible technocrat, and coached by powerful D.C. think

tanks like the Atlantic Council. So the summary of this article as I go through and I show

how Karzai was completely a product
