CIA Gave Afghan Warlords Viagra to Help Them 'Rape More Boys More Often'

The Taliban's rise to power was driven in part by their opposition to Afghan tribal leaders' systematic rape of young boys.

From Tablet Mag:

The reality is that America lost its war in Afghanistan more than a decade ago, roughly around the time when CIA officers began bribing aging warlords with Viagra. The Americans knew all about the young boys the tribal leaders kept in their camps; because the sex drug helped Afghan elders rape more boys more often, they were beholden to America's clandestine service.

The evil of our rulers is beyond belief.

If you're wondering why they call our government the "The Great Satan," look no further.

From The New York Times, "U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies":

"At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,"  "My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture."

The practice is called bacha bazi, literally "boy play," and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.

But soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead of weeding out pedophiles, the American military was arming them in some cases and placing them as the commanders of villages — and doing little when they began abusing children.

"The reason we were here is because we heard the terrible things the Taliban were doing to people, how they were taking away human rights," said Dan Quinn, a former Special Forces captain who beat up an American-backed militia commander for keeping a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave. "But we were putting people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban did — that was something village elders voiced to me."

service members like Captain Quinn have faced discipline, even career ruin, for disobeying it.

After the beating, the Army relieved Captain Quinn of his command and pulled him from Afghanistan. He has since left the military.

Four years later, the Army is also trying to forcibly retire Sgt. First Class Charles Martland, a Special Forces member who joined Captain Quinn in beating up the commander.

"The Army contends that Martland and others should have looked the other way (a contention that I believe is nonsense),"

The Taliban would put to death anyone caught committing "bacha bazi."

How many of the military-aged males being flown out of Afghanistan to America as "refugees" are doing so because they're afraid they'll be killed by the Taliban for engaging in this practice?
