Transmogrify Inc.: Charlie Wilson and Mr. Monk

Charlie Wilson was a Texas Congressman, while Mr. Monk is

an OCD detective. Adrian Monk is famous for two phrases: "he's

the guy" (meaning the guilty culprit) and "here's what happened"
when explaining how the culprit cleverly committed the crime. Mr. Monk
has an incredible facility for pointing out obvious, simple facts that
eventually lead to solving a crime. So allow me to momentarily take
the role of Mr. Monk to explain "Charlie Wilson's War."

The basic surface story: Charlie uses beautiful rich women to execute his plan for arming Afganistan against an evil empire: the USSR. All this is presented as "good ol' boy" Charlie saving the
world from the evils of Communism.

Here's what happened: with Charlie's incredible political assistance
Afganistan vanquished the evil empire and now use those very same
weapons against us today. Literally billions of dollars of taxpayer's
money was used to accomplish that, all without consent of the American people. This is a perfect example of how DC operates: always subverting the American people for a banker directed use
of military force (I think the CIA can be called a military force.) Charlie's goal seems so altruistic but the truth of the matter is
that American's were financially weakened for the benefit of DC
and supplying weapons that American's have never been allowed
to possess to protect themselves from another evil empire: Washington DC. I find the obvious subversion of the individual American's
power as an entirely treasonous act. And yet Charlie is painted
as some kind of folk hero. Whew!!! "He's the guy!!
