The following article, "Decoding 9-11" is adapted from the Preface of John McMurtry’s forthcoming book "VALUE WARS: THE GLOBAL MARKET VERSUS THE LIFE ECONOMY" to be released this August (London: Pluto Press, 2002).

McMurtry reads from this article with some additional commentary in an online video by Snowshoe Documentary Films, at http://www.snowshoefilms.com/index.html.

>>These “moral equivalents of the founding fathers”, as U.S. president Reagan then called them, were U.S.-supported terrorist rings who were also later involved in training, armed support and narcotics-route partnership with the KLA (“Kosovo Liberation Army”) insurrection in Yugoslavia, as well as in Russia’s Chechnya province.

Interestingly, it was only when the formerly favoured Taliban faction suddenly shut down over 90% of Afghanistan’s opium production for the global market in 2001, as UN officials confirmed in March 2002, that the Taliban was declared America’s mortal enemy and all its known positions bombed for months on end - while the opium that remained growing was concentrated in the areas controlled by the newly favoured Northern Alliance.<<
