This video production focusses on the historical transition from Al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters” (1979-1980) to  

Al Qaeda “Terrorists” (September 11, 2001). The US-NATO Invasion of Afghanistan (October 7, 2001)

And From “Al Qaeda Terrorists” to Pro-Democracy “Al Qaeda Good Guy Politicians” (June 2025)

***

Phase I. 1979-1980: Supporting Al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters”

“Yes. The CIA entered Afghanistan Before the Russians”.  Oui, la CIA est entrée en Afghanistan avant les Russes. (Zbigniew Brzezinski)

Le Nouvel Observateur (LNO): The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated … that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

Zbigniew Brzezinski (ZB)Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen [Al Qaeda Freedom Fighters] began during 1980s, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.” (Emphasis added)

Phase II. September 11, 2001. Going After and Combating Al Qaeda “Terrorists”. “The Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT)

A few hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded without supporting evidence, that “Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation were prime suspects”.

CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin Laden has the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.”

September 11, 2001 marked the onslaught of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT) which was heralded by the media as a humanitarian endeavour.

This was achieved by sustaining the myth that Muslim terrorists supported by the Taliban had attacked the WTC and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The evidence –including the subsequent studies on controlled demolition–have confirmed that this was an outright lie. 

September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders.

Michel Chossudovsky’s Articles on Global Research

By Drago Bosnic

As a Senior Editor at the now-defunct Fort Russ News, I wrote daily about military technology, global economy and geopolitics, with a special focus on the Middle East, Balkans, Russia, China, United States, Europe and great power rivalry. In 2020, Fort Russ News was hit by a major cyber-attack, so the website has been liquidated, but my articles (nearly 1,500 of them are still available on the Web Archives).

I’m also active on social networks (particularly Facebook and Telegram), where I’m an administrator of various pages and groups dealing with the aforementioned topics. One such page that was recently deleted (thanks Zuck!) had over 150,000 followers, but we’ve seen since moved to Telegram, so we’re slowly working toward rebuilding that following (Telegram).

Many other media have republished my work, the most prominent of which are (Global Research), Southfront,Anti-Empire , and respected Serbian publications such as Politika.

For the last two years, I’ve been a daily contributor to the BRICS Information Portal.
