That idiot Khamenei has declared the Islamic republic a mighty tree that couldn’t be uprooted and in the same breath called the U.S. weak. They are just trying to provoke us but I doubt Biden is provokable. In fact, he will probably send them aid to kill us. ---

Today the Taliban banned women from working for NGOs, in addition to the ban on higher education a few days ago. I hope their people overthrow these pigs quickly. ---

I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading here. If that’s true, the C plus I and A is the drug mafia for the whole world. Would it be fair to say their policing doesn’t really extend beyond the global child and drug trafficking? ---

I like some of the things the Taliban have done, especially in the area of drugs. I hate that they’ve stopped women from getting an education, though, and this new ban on music is just stupid. > **[‘Wedding or a funeral?’ Taliban bans music at Kabul wedding halls](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/12/wedding-or-a-funeral-taliban-bans-music-at-kabul-wedding-halls)** > > The Taliban bans music at Kabul weddings halls because it is considered against the teachings of Islam. ---

I chatted with an Afghan the other day living under the Taliban. He is not a Talib. He admits, however, that Afghanistan is run 1000 times better under the Taliban than under the US puppets they had before. I don’t support the Taliban, but I think it’s important to assess such data without emotion. ---

> [@Reg](#): > > The Taliban bans poppies, actually doing what the west said they’d do. What’s the west’s take? “OMG you’re hurting opium farmers”. The west sucks sometimes. What crap!!! They haven’t banned anything and nobody is hurting farmers. The U.N. reported in November that opium cultivation was up 19%. ---

Michele, you really should try not to make a fool of yourself with this stuff. The Taliban cut opium production by 95% in 2023. Now there has been a 19% increase from that reduced rate, so production is now 6% of what it was compared when Afghanistan was under US control. > **[Rise in Afghan opium cultivation reflects economic hardship, despite Taliban ban](https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/11/1156566)** > > Opium cultivation in Afghanistan spiked by 19 per cent in 2024, covering an estimated 12,800 hectares despite a ban imposed by the Taliban, a report released on Wednesday by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has revealed. PS: Just incase you don’t get the math, let’s do this step by step. Afghanistan under US control poppy production is the baseline, so let’s call that 100%. 2023 production was down 95%, so it was 5% of US controlled opium production. In 2024, there was a 19% increase of that reduced level, so we end up at 6%, or still 94% down from Afghanistan under US control. ---
