On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Antony Loewenstein, author of ‘Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe’ and co-founder of Declassified Australia. He discusses the failed attempts of the US and other allied occupiers of Afghanistan to plunder Afghanistan’s resources, the original Soviet desire to exploit the vast mineral wealth, Erik Prince’s attempts to convince Donald Trump to privatize the Afghan war and run Afghanistan with a private army, economic catastrophe for the people of Afghanistan and the disappearance of Western concern for Afghans following their exit after the Taliban victory, Biden’s plan to split $7 billion of frozen Afghan central bank assets to benefit families of victims of 9/11, and much more.
