The rise of international jihad and Western ultra-nationalism
In The Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America’s dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America’s imperial designs.
Washington’s secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. In doing so, it created fertile ground for the Islamic State and brought foreign conflicts home to American soil.
These failed wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post-Cold War age. Trump’s dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the situation.

Thanks.

Yes Sir! Great Stuff!
January 31st, 2023
it’s weird how Russia keeps getting “provoked” into invading other countries
January 31st, 2023
Just to be clear. The CIA funded the Afghan muj not
the Arab fighters like UBL who had plenty of their own money
February 1st, 2023
Thank you for sharing
February 1st, 2023
Thanks. Weird how America can go where it likes, do what it likes with total impunity, yet Syria gets world condemnation for defending itself against terrorists and can’t prevent its own oil being stolen Crazy world, eh?
February 2nd, 2023
“Syria gets world condemnation for defending itself” through the despotic, murderous Assad regime. Aided by Putin’s tyranny. Weird. It must all be expediently framed as America’s fault. That’s the “hot take” from Putin-worshipping, genocide-denying, “excellent mind,” Wobbly1933.

Max Blumenthal is a rare and an authentic intellectual who defied the US and Israeli narrative and managed to expose both of them.
I have read all of his books a long time ago and still go back to them every now and then.
Atrocities start with words and dehumanization.
Atrocities unleashed upon millions in the ME, fueled by dictators labeled as reformists in the west.
The racist subtext: Afghans, Iraqi & Syrian lives don’t matter, for they are deemed inferior “uncivilized” but Ukrainian lives do, see the hypocrisy here!
The U.S. has never been a force for democracy, rule of law and human rights in the Middle East. Its destructive role in the region, since 1967 at least, is justifiably compared to the role of state tyranny.
The term “total impunity” was correct and it will be to their own demise one day.
February 2nd, 2023
…more tankie ideological absurdities from Lowly. A dehumanising fascist who casually condemns “inferior” “diseased people” who “never rise to the top in their social milieu.” - a power-worshipping Putinista who likely wants to “liquidate” “diseased people” to their “demise” because they don’t rise to the top. Your mask is off, Lowly. You can only be taken seriously to the extent of your weaponised hatred.
You slavishly admire Max Blumenthal because he & his website notoriously peddle propaganda for authoritarian & imperialist regimes, such as those of Putin, Assad, Venezuela, & China. It spreads conspiracy theories & engages in genocide-denial, & denial of atrocities & human rights violations committed by your beloved dictatorial regimes.
Athough Jewish, he has in excess of 300 citations of on VNN Forum - a white supremacist, Holocaust denial & neo-Nazi message board. He’s also a go-to source for the smearing of Jews for the neo-Nazi Stormfront site, & David Duke has endorsed his work. One of Blumenthal’s chapter titles in Goliath has been especially popular with the white supremacist sites that gleefully embrace his work: “How To Kill Goyim and Influence People.”
Blumenthal was invited by Jeremy Corbyn to attend & speak at an event in the UK parliament, and was introduced by James Thring, a prominent defender of Holocaust deniers David Irving & Lady Michèle Renouf.
Last year, during the early stages of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, a devotedly supportive Blumenthal falsely blamed Ukrainians for the Mariupol theatre airstrike. The Russians had actually bombed this civilian air raid shelter. The attack is classified as a war crime by the Organization for Security & Co-operation in Europe and Amnesty International.

…switching topics again there eh 963? Like that wasn’t pretty obvious.
You’ve yet to critique any of these books on their own terms , or with recourse to other sources: instead we just get a wall-of-text that doesn’t really convince and certainly doesn’t refute the books major points, which in this case is that the US is an imperial bully and the cause of much of the world’s human suffering. fact.
February 2nd, 2023
I like how you MUST throw ‘Donald Trump’ and ‘terrorism’ into your title so you can sell books…
February 2nd, 2023
FreeP - You can clearly observe my response to a Lowly fascist on the subject of the author, his website, and the associated defence of tyrannical, genocidal regimes & genocide denial.
Do you agree with those ideologically-driven promotions & the stance offered? From your reaction it seems that you manifestly do.
“doesn’t really convince” - You don’t believe what the author has said on his own behalf? His self-admitted support of the enumerated despotic regimes? Upon what precise evidentiary grounds?
Why do you imagine that the brutal imperialism & generation of human suffering by these appalling regimes is acceptable merely because they do not emanate from North America?
Why do you continue to support these regimes & their actions, as you do, time & again? Why do you do not unreservedly condemn all such evil abuses & actions?
February 3rd, 2023
Against, picking the propaganda you like that aligns with your anti muslim values isn’t the coup you think it is.
February 3rd, 2023
Your entire, contrived position is based on selective propaganda promoting the most appalling, despotic regimes & genocidal ideologies, accompanied by a toxic dose of superficially distracting “Whataboutism?”
“anti muslim values” - Try to explain this one. Are the authoritarian regimes in China, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, Cuba all Islamic then? How ignorant you are - on every conceivable subject, it would seem! Islam is one of the great traditions, as I always say, and I repeatedly condemn the Chinese regime’s genocidal persecution of Muslims. And I point out your fatal hypocrisy in refusing to do the same, because you support genocidal ideologies. Do you hate Muslims along with Jews? Is that it?
But back to the above subject you’re trying to evade: your continuous defence of tyrannical, genocidal regimes & genocide denial. You clearly do agree with those ideologically-driven promotions & the stance offered, because you have again failed to condemn them, along with the author & the Lowly fascist.
Why do you believe that the brutal imperialism & generation of human suffering by these appalling regimes is acceptable merely because they do not emanate from North America?
Why do you continue to support these regimes & their actions, as you do, time & again? Why do you do not unreservedly condemn all such evil abuses & actions?

Sorry, Caesar, but I have to disagree on this one. I found this particular book to be surprisingly honest. American interference in the Western Hemisphere is one damnable thing, but our misadventures in the Middle East are simply unforgivable.
The US should have told the British to go f**k themselves instead of knocking down the genuinely progressive Mohammed Mosaddegh in favor of the Shah, who was perhaps the most violently repressive “leaders” in the entire history of Persia/Iran. We did that because Mosaddegh had the outright temerity to propose that the profits from Iranian oil should benefit the Iranians, not the British.
Reinstalling the Shah led directly to the rise of the mullahs in Iran. Reactionaries like Khomeini were the natural consequence of American and British outright thievery.
Normally, I have a difficult time with M. Blumenthal, but on this one I’m with him. They don’t hate us because we are free. They hate us because we actively deny them the “freedom” we enjoy.
February 7th, 2023
Thanks FP.
And a very valid point, ProfitPagan, about the US overthrow of Mosaddegh. It’s a pretty sordid list of their “achievements” in foreign policy. Makes me take the complaints about Russian interference in US elections with a shrug - what goes around … (and no 963, that doesn’t make me a Putin fanboy - just pissed at American hypocrisy).
February 7th, 2023
Sancho2, the worst thing about the overthrow was that it really wasn’t our plan. It was the British who had the most to lose if Mosaddegh nationalized Iran’s oil. The British also desperately wanted to reinstall the Shah.
For our worst meddling, you need only to look to the south of Texas. Our actions in Mexico, Central, and South America are nothing less than deplorable.
Porfirio Diaz, twice president of Mexico, finally overturned in 1911, once said, “Alas, poor Mexico; so far from God, so close to the United States.” I daresay he rather nailed that one.
I’m only about halfway through this book, so I won’t give it more than two stars. When I finish it, I’ll see about a fair review.
February 8th, 2023
The Shah was a thug. The subsequent reactionary revolution? A total nightmare.
The author is a known & sleazy Putin apologist, who blames Ukrainians for atrocities against them (the Mariupol theatre airstrike).
By all means, Profit & Sancho, hold US to account, condemn them for wrongs, but not at the expense of ignoring genocidal regimes & brutal despotisms around the world, which existed before, & will exist after, the US.
February 9th, 2023
You seem to be mixing the author with the subject. If book was meant to about genocidal regimes and veered off to talk about US hypocrisy you might have a point. It ain’t.
It feels like FreePalestine’s name is enough to trigger you. Some of us can see the just cause and evil on both sides of that case too …
February 9th, 2023
Oh, I see the abuses on all sides of that case, Sancho. I don’t want any side to be “wiped out,” or “driven into the sea,” the frequent refrain here. Beware of going with feeling alone; as a lone guide, it’s notoriously poor. FreePalestine is also an inveterate, uncritical supporter of the tyrannical Putin, & the other genocidal regimes & ideologies. Authorial awareness & bias is ever useful, and this guy is a total sleaze.
February 9th, 2023
(that wasn’t as clear as it could’ve been: awareness of authorial bias is always useful.)

good book

Thank you

Not much has changed on here I see.
‘The author is a known and sleazy Putin apologist’.
We like Sleazy. Sleazy is funny, when it’s written so often it just becomes a blast of air from a mooncalf’s rear end.
This is a great book.
Max Blumenthal is a man of integrity,high moral values and clear sight. Unlike the typical knee jerk responses of Washington apologists regularly parading their lack of insight and threadbare rhetoric you see so often whenever they gather to spout their inanities.

A boorish vicious spew from a Gaslighting, anti-semitic and propagandist grifting Democrat that DOGE will soon put behind bars…
