    Thank you all for your inputs. Minus the production critique, it would have been informative to hear from someone outside your local circle, if possible.

    Really excellent material although I'm no that superfan of the US President who gives name to the Institute's channel.

    I met, interviewed and photographed Ahmad Shah Massoud in Takhar Province in 1991. Everything I've ever seen indicates that Massoud was a great man.
    Some questions for Bearden.and the CIA: Massoud survived and beat back nine Soviet and Afghan Communist incursions between April 1980 and June 1985; where was the CIA's support during those 5 years? Massoud's Panjshir Valley was located within striking distance of the Soviet's vital Salang Highway supply line; again, if the CIA recognized this, as Bearden himself acknowledged was the case, why wasn't there more support for Massoud? And when it became obvious that the Pakistanis were using Pashtuns like Hekmatyar (and later the Taliban) for their own ends, why didn't they provide more support for the north to counterbalance Pakistan?
    The bottom line, in my opinion, is that the CIA missed an opportunity. To attempt to blame Massoud for this is inaccurate and unfair.

    9-11 was not constructed by a 6,4 inch Saudi man one of 43 sons of a construction magnate
    from Riyad, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Quatar, I was present on 9-12-2020 and what I saw was unbelievable, no rubble on the ground from 2 100,000 ton buildings, watched them on 9-11 turn into dust going up not down, what free energy technology was used? We are to believe a bearded Arab man , who orchestrated this with 14 Saudi men with boxcutters took-hijacked all these American Airline planes and if you are conscious those videos and footage of the planes detonating on the 82 Floor and above interesting that is where all the computer servers and networks were located and it does not look like a U.S. airline 737 no markings on this flying missle it is olive drab colored, and after J.P.5 is made with kerosene and gasoline but there was a huge explosion at the precise time the drone hit. semtex, thermite, unidentifiedI do not know what I do know as a FEMA contractor asked to check the monitors and their readings for air quality they were still RED. which means toxic air what I could see on the machines was there was still asbestos, heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, ferrous compounds, paper particulates, and some other materials {unidentified}, which informed me that it was not safe to be chopping, cutting with a acetylene torch any remnants of buildings that were gone upward into the air like a tornado just swallowed them up. I told the head management of the clean-up crew it was not safe, and another said to me but they are paying me $100.00 a load to drive the truck through the Lincoln tunnel to New Jersey, He was 34 years old when his father told me he was dying of leukemia and how many more died because what? We needed another war on something again, right now we have one against an invisible SAR2-Corona-HIV, virus except they will not tell you how the HIV transmissible component of this pandemic works, except it is rendered inactive in plain uV light, sunlight which tells people not to congregate inside without masks, get vitamin D or take a D3 supplement and social distance if you are inside
