My latest in PJ Media:
According to Bongino.com, “a report issued by Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction noted that even though the United States spent more than $787 million dollars on ‘gender equality projects’ in Afghanistan since 2002, ‘harmful socio-cultural norms’ kept them [from] making major progress.” There have been a lot of people around since 2002 who could have told the political elites that spending $787 milllion, or even $1, on “gender equality projects” in Afghanistan would be a fruitless waste of money, but they have not been heeded, and indeed have been dismissed as “Islamophobes.” And now, despite the persistence of those “harmful socio-cultural norms,” those millions are almost certainly going to continue to flow into the “graveyard of empires.”
The Bongino report noted mildly that “restrictive sociocultural norms and insecurity…continue to impede progress for Afghan women and girls.” Among these are the fact that “girls’ access to education is constrained by the lack of female teachers and infrastructure, and pressures on girls to withdraw from school at puberty”; there is “a lack of female healthcare providers”; and “gender disparity is still a persistent characteristic of the Afghan labor force.”
Well, yeah. Anyone with a modicum of sense could have predicted all that back in 2002, when the payments first started being made, and long before that as well. Yet it’s likely that no one who allocated or spent this money had any idea why women are discriminated against in Afghanistan, and why these “harmful socio-cultural norms” kept them from making major progress.
They have no clue about this because it’s all about Islam. All too many on the side of freedom become as politically correct as any leftist when it comes to Islam, jihad, and Sharia.
The grim reality that the Washington “experts” on Afghanistan don’t realize or don’t want to face is that the Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” (4:34)
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” (Sahih Muslim 2127)
There is a great deal more of this. The Qur’an declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man: “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as you choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her.” (2:282)
Another hadith has Muhammad extrapolating from this that women are mentally deficient…
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
That’s a total waste of the American taxpayers money. The reason that this is so is because Islam is such a religion of brutal, cruel and even murderous misogyny that no amount of money invested in “gender equality” projects will change the minds and hearts of male Muslims because of the harsh, vicious and oppressive misogynistic spirit and essence of Islam.
mortimer says
How will they increase equality with the following misogynistic, Mohammedan statements quoted by mullahs every day?
The hadiths of Mohammed that insult and degrade all women. The following are the words of Mohammed:
– I think that women were created for nothing but evil
– Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts)
– A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman
– Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
– The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [or do not lose her]
– Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped
– Men perished the day they obeyed the women
– Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret
– Consult women and act contrary (to it)
– Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan
– When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface
– If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back
– Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
– I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)
– I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
– Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse
– After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women
– Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially
– Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an
– Women, slaves and camels are the same
– Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman
– “Women are like cows, horses, and camels, for all are ridden,” is in fact recorded in Tafsir al-Qurtubi (see vol. 17, p. 172)
– If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits
– “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent
– If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning
– Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
– Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
– God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons. (Sirat Rasul Allah. Translated in English by A. Guillaume. First published by Oxford University Press, London in 1955)

Important list, Mortimer.
Walter Sieruk says
This gender equality project,funded by the American taxpayer, no matter how well intended the teachers of this project might be. It will not change the terrible ant-female culture of Afghanistan . For the “culture” of Afghanistan is based on Islam. As Brigitte Gabriel revealed in her book entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on page 172 it reads ” Women in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.”
mortimer says
Afghastlistan needs more female cops, more female lawyers, more female judges and more women’s shelters for women who wish to avoid honor-killing.
Walter Sieruk says
To mortimer , what you keyboard above is a very good idea. Sadly having more women is such high positions, as police, lawyers and being judges, realistically will not happen because Afghanistan in completely infected with misogyny because that nation is totally contaminated with Islam.
mortimer says
It’s a start to have women in positions of influence and authority, especially in law enforcement. Getting all Afghan girls into school will revolutionize the country. It will then be impossible to hold back well-educated women from establishing careers.
The mullahs want all women to stay home.
Skai says
”The mullahs want all women to stay home” Yes and Muslim women are children producing machines.
Check Burry says
In these positions they will be even more targeted by the islamic extremists.
It is a good aim to try to improve the lives of the females, but will take decades, if not forever.
David says
And less muslim fanatics! Afghastlistan is a lost cause. A total waste of money and non muslim soldiers who have died needlessly.
gravenimage says
Women are often just imprisoned if they are in danger of being “Honor Killed”–seriously.
somehistory says
How many of those tented people in the photo are male?
First of all, it is impossible to make the **two** genders “equal.” The only way there is equality is before God in the worth of the person. Men are made for some things, women for others.
As Bobby Eberle says, the “transgender guy dresses like a woman, wears makeup and long hair.” This is something some people claim…when actual women wear a dress, makeup and have long hair…is not being fair…women should be able to wear pants, etc. (in an a non-islam world, they can if they wish),
it’s a mixed-up world when so much money is spent to change people who don’t want to be changed.
Second, moslums don’t allow women to “be equal” even before their fake ‘god.’ Their demon-god requires women to be slaves and treated as dirt, to be walked on and abused. Spending money on this project was a total waste.
Like the song by a guy whose first name was Freddy…last seems like “Fender,”…”Wasted Days and Wasted Nights,”…it could include “wasted money, wasted lives,” and it would better fit this awful situation.
tgusa says
To attempt to change someones mind you must first have a thinking mind of your own. Gender discrimination and gender dysfunction are growing trends in America. If we want to change minds we should have set a better example because a lot of the world is probably looking at us in horror. I suspect that there is an unspoken #notmetoo movement going on in a lot of places around the world and I cant say that I blame them for that.
somehistory says
some of the people of France have been saying they don’t want to be like America…don’t want there what’s happening here. This entire “gender” thing is, I believe, demonic. It is just making for more trouble among people and more confused and upset in children…suicides are up, deepression is up, and the more people reject the natural order of things, the worse it gets.
tgusa says
The song, Crazy on you, keeps running in a loop through my mind.
Crazy on you.
Let me go crazy, crazy on you.
What you gonna do when everybody’s insane?
somehistory says
Run in circles, scream and shout.
Besides what is written on this site, there are other sites with insanity to the max…I know you know that.., and when I’m out and about, I see it in person. Life is so stressful.
I don’t know or understand how people without faith in God keep functioning …on any level. Leaning on HIM is all that keeps me going.
tgusa says
“and when I’m out and about, I see it in person.”
For my own sanity when I am out and about I try not to look around too much.
somehistory says
I look where I’m going and the crazies get in my way…it’s to see ’em or hit ’em.
gravenimage says
You believe that silly gender claptrap is horror, but you don’t say that you have a problem with acid throwing or stoning.
And as ridiculous as some of this stuff is, the idea that pious Muslims reject gender equality is because of–what? Unisex resrooms and “gender neutral” pronouns?
The fact is that Islam has *always* abused women–they didn’t start doing so because of claims in some parts of the West that there are 50 genders.
tgusa says
Pay attention. I said other parts of the world are probably looking at us in horror. What in the world does the support or non support of acid throwing and stoning have to do with anything I wrote? Muslims will be muslims and right now I have more important issues to worry about in my own backyard and funding idiotic causes in the muslim world is one of them.
gregbeetham says
Yeah the idea that we should stop fixing Islamic countries and fix stuff at home is a great idea in theory but the problem is those Islamic countries won’t leave us alone until we have all converted to Islam.
Our civilization is in a fight to the death only most don’t realize it, the idealistic wishful thinking cowardly lefties are leading us to destruction and we on JW know that, but what is the answer?
China’s retraining idea maybe? Possibly, I haven’t seen anything else so far that might work.
tgusa says
I agree and I don’t have an answer. Changing the unchangeable is a futile task. It seems to me that the more we try to change them the more we lose of ourselves.
gravenimage says
Greg, we were mostly safe from Jihad when the Muslims world was isolated. Inviting in hordes of violent, surpremacist Muslims was the worst mistake.
gregbeetham says
Yes, although I’m not sure which mistake came first, us going there or them coming here; it was probably us going there being honest but then our lot have always given the benefit of the doubt and are guilty of a naive assumption that everyone thinks the same, and we are finding out to our cost that isn’t the case whatsoever, Muslims think diametrically opposite to us on most things.
tgusa says
Isolation. The people of the past knew that was the best thing but the people of now have forgotten the past or they think the people of the past were wrong. I read that a large number of college students in America today think that the USA invented slavery. We live in very stupid times and we will be lucky to survive it.
gravenimage says
Our ousting the Taliban and removing Osama bin Laden’s sancturary was not a bad thing–but our supposing that we could civilize Dar-al-Islam was a big mistake.
tgusa says
In retrospect, We should have just sent in a heavily armed team of bmf’s to get bin laden and any of his associates in the area. Like it or not the taliban is deeply embedded in Afghani life. The taliban is real unvarnished islam and completely absent of modern western trimmings that other so called progressive islamic countries display to us for our undoing.
tgusa says
Greg,
Instead of asking how do we stop the behemoth perhaps we should adopt strategy similar to our WWII fight against the Imperial Japanese Shinto armies. We didn’t begin by invading Japan we started at a place no one had ever heard of, Guadalcanal. But the question is, in this fight, where is our Guadalcanal? I think that island is already here among us. And of course now we have a non muslim enemy within to deal with as well. Very complicated it all is.
gregbeetham says
I think there was always a fifth column in every war, pacifists, denialists, sympathisers and downright traitors but they were usually a tiny minority, maybe we made a mistake and sent all our best off to get killed in previous wars and now we are left with degenerates, who knows how it happened but the fifth column is seemingly in the majority now.
As far as turning points go I think it was Nimitz making sure his precious carriers weren’t sitting ducks in Pearl Harbour like Yamamoto wanted.
tgusa says
Thank God before Nimitz for the survival of those 3 carriers. Just over 6 months later those carriers destroyed the Japanese Fleet at Midway turning the tide against Imperial conquest in the Pacific. Six months! I am more concerned about the behemoth than I am about the fifth columnists among us. If push came to shove I believe the majority of America could easily deal with the fifth columnists.
gregbeetham says
I doubt many are more thankful than we in northern Australia, one of the precious carriers the USS Lexington was lost not far to the north of where I live but they stopped a Japanese invasion fleet in the Coral Sea Battle prior to Midway.
I think two more carriers were transferred from the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific shortly afterward.
We in northern Australia owe a debt to the USN that many today in the rest of the country don’t realize because they don’t teach history in school nowadays; they are too busy with social engineering, a mission to nowhere.
I’ve been wondering when a well regulated militia might emerge, and not just in the USA.
tgusa says
They want you to believe you are a minority because if you do it is easier for them but you are not. Do not succumb to their propaganda, ever.
Peter WF says
At last, missionaries are being sent to the far corners of the world exposing the greatness of gender equality, inclusion, multiculturalism, immigration and all that stuff.
Those poor people have no idea what they are missing. As I read it according to the wok folk, if they were inclusive etc. they wouldn’t live in shit holes.
gravenimage says
Yeah–poor guys, they might have to stop cutting women’s noses off. Oh, the humanity!
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“U.S. Spent $787 Million On ‘Gender Equality’ Projects In Afghanistan”
Okay, let’s see: $787,000,000 spent:
1. So what was the “return on investment” ROI?
2. Where did each US dollar go?
3. What were the metrics used to measure outcomes?
4. Is the US planning to spend any more money on this “initiative”?
tgusa says
I propose one billion dollars to get Dogs to stop chasing Cats. If that works out another billion could be allocated to get Cats to stop chasing mice.
somehistory says
moslum males got the money.
And now, the ‘reparations’ are going to be where the money goes…but only the White money to everyone not White.
tgusa says
Males get the money. You are probably right.
Husband to wife; Go get that money from the stupid Americans and I will not give you your daily beating. And go through the line twice, those dumb Americans wont recognize you in the burka.

Check Burry says
I recon sleepy joe will keep things ticking over, cash wise. Or his carers will see it keeps flowing out.

USA should have left Afghanistan after Osama killed. Then take a red crayon on a map of the world and draw lines around majority Muslim countries. NO immigration and very limited travel to and from these countries. We can trade/ sell each other products or commodities but that’s it.
The only way to change Afghanistan is to kill every make over the age of 13. If you’re not willing to do that then get the hell out and use that red crayon.
Infidel says
Osama was killed in 2011. There was no reason for US troops to be in Afghanistan after 2001: once Kandahar was captured and the Taliban regime fell, the US should simply have handed over power to the ‘Northern Alliance’ and left the country. We wouldn’t have greased Pakistan either w/ cash that they then used to fund all those jihadist parties
But you’re right that all muslim immigration should have been banned after 9/11, instead of President Bush’s stupid ‘We respect your religion… blah blah blah’ statement in his otherwise great speech in September 22, 2001
gregbeetham says
The latest insanity I saw mentioned on the Alan Jones show or was it Credlin…anyway there is a movement now in one of the US states to alter Mathematics to be less racist because of its focus on correct answers.
They say that because Math is only interested in correct answers it favours and promotes white supremacy.
This shit is so far out in the twilight zone you would need the zombie culture of today to come up with it and I don’t know what their solution is, maybe the oppressed non white supremacists get a pass just for sitting for a Math test. Do they realize how insane they are?
A country that can come up with that idea is proposing to deal with gender disparity in Afghanistan?
It is nothing but a futile money wasting exercise that employs a bunch of ignorant social justice reformers who don’t have the faintest idea what they are dealing with…again.
somehistory says
b gates is one of those who are talking about math being racist. It’s so stupid, and yet, people are taking it seriously. If two and two can’t equal four, if it must equal five or nine, what good is math?
To make the claim that non white people can’t get the answers right, so therefore, math must be racist, is the **racist** part. They are claiming that non white people are too stupid to get the right answers to math problems and that makes the math racist.
If I was a non white person, I would be incensed at the claims. I have bi-racial family members and I’m incensed on their behalf.
And these are the ones making decisions on sending money to make moslum males treat the women as equals. Honestly, it can’t get any stupider.
gravenimage says
Yes, this is absurd. Math and science, of all areas of human achievement, are the most objective and colorblind (and I say this though math is far from my best subject–but this of course has nothing to do with race).
somehistory says
There is one aspect of math that I really appreciate. With a lot of subjects, the answers can depend on the one asking the question…what does Mrs. Smith or Mr. Johnson want me to say is the “best solution” to this problem…a., b…c or none of the above?
Math has one answer. What do you get when you subtract four bananas from a bunch of ten bananas? Whether or not Mr. Johnson likes bananas has nothing to do with the answer.
There is no way on this earth that math is racist. To say that White Supremacy causes the answer to be a certain thing makes the one saying it sound as though he/she believes Whites are superior.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Somehistory.
Check Burry says
Has the USA left said “The White House” is a racist title, do they wanna pull that down too? Maybe its on their To do list.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“Honestly, it can’t get any stupider.”
That’s what I thought just a few years ago – but I was wrong:
Even now, it can *still* get stupider…
somehistory says
I know. But at some point, it must stop getting stupider. One can blow up a balloon until their breath is gone and their face is red, and still keep going, but eventually, the balloon will burst or the person blowing it up will faint from lack of oxygen.
Most things are not infinite. I believe “stupid” has a limit. I sincerely hope so. I have to believe my hope “will not lead to disappointment.”
gregbeetham says
I was on another forum once 5 years ago where someone said, ‘there’s only so much intelligence available in the universe and people keep breeding’, maybe he was on to something after all.
E. T says
When I talk to people about B Gates eventually will tell us we must have virus passports, I was called a conspiracy theory wingnut.
When I speak to people about Islam I am an Islamophobia.
I admit I am Islamophobic, I do not suffer from COVID Derangement Syndrome, But I do know if people were to check how much money is sent to the WHO and where it goes, they might understand why the elites are now saying math is not important.
The new world order says there will be one man in charge, with 5 under him, then one hundred under them. My math question is who will be number one?

U.S. Spent $787 Million On ‘Gender Equality’ Projects In Afghanistan
………………….
We see how well *this* has worked–Afghanistan has stoning back on the books, just as it did under the Taliban. And 75% of those imprisoned are women who resisted or tried to escape forced marriages.
Check Burry says
Or tried to get a little bit of education. No chance, they blow up the schools the USA or allies built.
Afghanis is a lost cause, it should be filled in tarmacced over.
tgusa says
Yes the battle of the Coral Sea is taught in US Naval history. Another unheard of battle in a place very few Americans had or have ever heard of in the long history of US Navy battles. For some reason the US Navy decided that the battle of the Coral sea is important enough to mention. Perhaps the precursor to the turning point of the trap at Midway?
gregbeetham says
The battle of Midway seemed to have had divine intervention on our side, it became a turkey shoot and the Imperial Japanese Navy lost too many irreplaceable pilots and never recovered, actually they had no chance of recovering on the scale that became necessary to compete with the general industrial war mobilization in the USA, so yes that battle was decisive absolutely but there were contributions to the outcome beforehand. The cracking of the Japanese message code was one.
James Lincoln says
gregbeetham says,
“…they had no chance of recovering on the scale that became necessary to compete with the general industrial war mobilization in the USA…”
That’s a great point that even World War II historians rarely make. The US military-industrial complex, with mass production, remained intact – rapidly replacing destroyed military equipment…
tgusa says
They were also pretty arrogant thinking they were unbeatable in the months after Pearl Harbor. Yamamoto thought he would be able to run wild for at least a year before things began to catch up with them. Turns out Yamamoto over estimated by half on that. They planned to lure Americans in to a trap at Midway but instead they fell right in to one.
gregbeetham says
Yes you could mount an argument that they lost sight of what it was that enabled so many victories in succession, our forces on the ground in Malaya outnumbered the IJA at around 10:1 if you included the Indian and native contingents but were forced to surrender (our lot were actually pushing the Japanese army back) because they had no air cover, the air power that the Japanese wielded overwhelmed ours and the situation became untenable. If you don’t rule the sky it means you can’t support what you have on the ground, no supply ships etc. and in turn you lose control over the ocean, so surrender was the only option unfortunately.
It was probably due to cracking the Japanese message code that counter plans could be formulated in the battle of Midway, not all of each was translated but enough of the messages could be deciphered to get a good grasp.
In the end though the Japanese squandered their air power; they fell victim on a couple of occasions to unfortunate timings for refuelling and arming; victory in an air battle depends on what you can launch both in defence and attack, i.e. if you are caught refuelling your CAP at the wrong moment you are in big trouble, and also radio communications between Japanese fighters had deteriorated over recent times so that many no longer received messages from the ship or other planes and had to try to follow the leader who still did have a working radio, something of a challenge if there is cloud and an interception to be plotted or being urgently needed somewhere else.
Why was so much bad luck had by the Japanese forces and good luck enjoyed by our side? That’s why I thought there was a measure of divine intervention involved.
tgusa says
The Navy knew an attack was coming but didn’t know exactly where. From Japanese communications it was suspected that an AF reference was Midway. An ingenuous Naval cryptographer, Captain Joseph John Rochefort, came up with plan where the base at Midway sent out a fake emergency signal saying that their water purification system had broken down. They didn’t bother encoding the message to make sure that it was intercepted and read. Not long after the Japanese sent a communication that AF was low on water identifying that AF was indeed Midway and the rest is history.
tgusa says
Stationed at Pearl Harbor 1941. USS Enterprise, the USS Lexington and the USS Saratoga. Only the Saratoga and Enterprise survived the war.
gregbeetham says
The Navy dept. renamed an aircraft carrier being built in Quincy Mass. to carry the name USS Lexington once more but with a different CVN number of course, I think this was in part to counter the propaganda blathering from Tokyo Rose who was crowing about the sinking of the original Lexington.
Thus there was a gap of four months with no USS Lexington mentioned in dispatches, that’s how long it took to replace her, a magnificent effort really.
But yes you are quite correct that the original gallant ship was at the bottom of the ocean mores the pity.
James Lincoln says
This was the USS Lexington CV-16, nicknamed “The Blue Ghost”…
tgusa says
Yes the N designation in CVN came long after the WWII CV designated Lexington.
gregbeetham says
Yeah ‘CVN’ my bad, my old memory is a bit dodgy with detail now and then, still ok in general terms I think though. Maybe I should double check things a bit more often now.
gravenimage says
Yes–the shipbuilding effort was astonishing. Lots of women on the assembly lines, as well–Rosie the Riveter.
tgusa says
There is a short lived Canadian series named Bomb Girls. The series revolves around stories of the women who risked their lives in a munitions factory building bombs for the Allied forces.
gravenimage says
I had not heard of that show, tgusa–thanks. I’ll look into it. There were shipbuilding and muitions factories here in the area I live in–in Oakland, Alameda, and Richmond. I had an elderly female student when I was teaching through the library who had come out here from the South during WWII to work in a shipyard.
tgusa says
My mother grew up in the deep South and during WWII there was a German prisoner of war camp in her area. She remembered seeing them working on the side of roads outside of town.
tgusa says
The battleship was displaced by the carrier and the carrier was rendered vulnerable by the invention of the ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles should be made vulnerable with laser and satellite technology. What better way to deter the launch of or to destroy a ballistic missile in the proximity of where it was launched, which would be deserved, than those two combined?
But of course we can always think new things up to go with those we have as well. History shows that you never plan on the last battle because if you do you will be in a bad sort of way if war breaks out. And history does show that war has a tendency to break out.
gregbeetham says
Yes usually when a new weapon is envisaged and then successfully implemented and tested the next step is to work out a method of defending against it and then defeat the countermeasure too.
I think one of the best defences the carrier still has is concealment, to target one with a hyper missile you need to know its exact position and battle groups will probably get rid of shadowing subs if tensions go to the level of imminent war.
I think China is trying to get some equivalent big bird satellites into orbit but I’m not sure how successful that has been so far.

The US and other western western countries spend trillions per year on these kind of projects . They do this because the globalists who are in control of these countries want to push the globalist agenda .
