THE CURSE OF THE SWARDS.
Islamic State - Conspiracy to carve out a new country
By Latheef Farook
In a televised speech on Wednesday 10 September
2014, President Barack Obama outlined what he described “as a reasonable
strategy” for attacking the so called Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria, ISIS, renamed Islamic State -IS.
He said “We will not get dragged into another ground war in
Iraq. Instead, this will be a war where others—mainly Iraqi
soldiers—fight on the ground, while American advisers devise the battle plans
and American pilots pummel the enemy with missiles and bombs.
The message is clear- get Iraqis to kill Iraqis and destroy Iraq
and Syria. America will supervise the destructions and killings besides
bombings both Iraq and Syria to the benefit of Israel.
To justify his military strikes on Iraq and Syria, Obama used in
his speech the same language what American and British Zionist war criminals
George Bush and Tony Blair used to justify their invasions of Afghanistan 27
days after11 September 2001 and Iraq in March 2003.
Obama is busy blackmailing and building up a coalition in the same
way Bush and Blair blackmailed and built up a coalition to invade Afghanistan
and Iraq. According to US Secretary of State John Kerry ten Arab regimes, not
the people, agreed to join Obama’s coalition for war. No less than
five out of these ten happen to be the ones who trained, weaponized and facilitated
the “flowers of evil” of IS blooming in Syria.
Certainly the aerial bombardment will destroy what is left of both
Iraq and Syria besides slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent people
as Bush and Blair did when they invaded and destroyed
Afghanistan Iraq by exploiting the media to sell lies and deception.
America together with Saudis ruling Satans created Al Qaeda and
Taliban. They demonized them and spread fear psychosis to justify their
invasions. In the footsteps of Bush and Blair, Obama is making war preparations
to destroy the very same Islamic State which, many suspect, is an American
creation.
The barbarity unleashed by IS so far
demonstrate that it is a group of fascist murderous thugs to
further demonize Islam and Muslims to serve war mongers’ evil designs.
The IS does not represent Islam in any way. Instead they
harmed the inspiring and peaceful Islam which contributed to the growth of not
only human civilization but also Western civilization. One should not forget that
certain section of Jews, like the present Zionist Jews, were enemies of Islam
from the very inception of Islam.
Muslims worldwide condemn the IS which serves as a
tool for the Israeli, US and European anti Muslim crusaders’ propaganda
machinery.
The question is who are these well trained, well financed and
well equipped IS gangsters? From where did they descend in the land locked
Syria and grab northern Iraqi territories in lightening speed? How did
they bring their weapons into these areas? Who provided such good military
training? How did they cross the desert with a skilled,
full-fledged army crammed with advanced artillery to capture a territory larger
than the UK?
According to reports IS was funded by Saudi’s
brutal and oppressive regime, equipped with weapons by US which is
threatening humanity with its wars to help corporate conglomerates to
loot the world and trained by Israel’s Mossad in Jordan- another US
-Israeli stooge.
IS is also a conspiracy to set the Sunnis against Shiites who
lived in peace before the advent of US-European invaders to destroy what is
left of the already destroyed Iraq and Syria. American stooge Nuri al
Maliki had already prepared the ground work for such a conflict by
openly supporting Shiites and discriminating and dismissing the Sunnis.
So it’s no wonder the Arab Street is drowning in skepticism about
who’s really running the IS show. It can’t be Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a.k.a
Caliph Ibrahim, all by himself. How come The Caliph, out of the. No less than
five out of these seven happen to be the ones who trained,
weaponized, and facilitated the “flowers of evil” of IS
blooming in Syria.
IS is a formidable machine oiled by all forms of extortion,
kidnapping for ransom, outright bank and jewelry robbery and taxing of
residents. But the Holy Grail is definitely oil smuggling.
The Caliph now controls seven oil fields and two refineries in
northern Iraq, plus six oil fields in northeastern Syria – extracting, realistically,
at least 40,000 barrels a day. They sell all this oil at a cut-rate $25 to a
maximum of $60 a barrel. Brent crude, as a comparison, is currently over $100
on the London ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The Caliph is making roughly $2 million a day, and everything paid
for in cash or bartered goods. No one knows who’s buying from the Islamic
State’s complex distribution network of middlemen, but the fact is the oil
flows from Caliph-controlled“Syraq” to Turkey and Jordan.
If the Obama administration were really serious at targeting The
Caliph, they’d be following the money, deploying local Intel to track where the
money actually is (certainly not in a bank). Instead, all the rhetoric
is about more bombing of - another historical irony - made in USA
hardware left behind by the Iraq army; more drones; and eventually, more “boots
on the ground”. .
Washington has already got regime change-lite in Baghdad. The CIA
and the Pentagon are thinking in terms of We bomb The Caliph/Caliph fights
Assad/Hezbollah gets involved/Divide and Rule and More Chaos/We bomb a little
to the side/Assad falls.
It won’t work, though. Washington thought – until the capture of
Mosul – that The Caliph was under control. But he has a mind of his own - and a
lot of cash still flowing from Saudi and Kuwaiti backers, apart from the oil
smuggling. The Caliph dreams of being intimately involved in the House of
Saud’s succession, and even making a play for power himself.
Columnist and author Sunny Hunda said that in many ways it is
perhaps the worst development in recent Muslim history since 9/11. This is
likely to cause even greater unrest in countries where Muslims aren't a
majority, and could tear apart the Middle East and cause further unrest for
generations.
The overt support of IS, combined with the fact that it is
battling the same Syrian government the Obama administration overtly sought to
wage war against just one year ago, strongly suggest the organization’s
sponsorship by Western intelligence and military interests.
“During the Cold War, but also in its aftermath,” columnist Michel
Chossudovsky observes, the CIA—using Pakistan’s military intelligence apparatus
as a “go between”—played a key role in training the Mujhadeen. In turn, the
CIA-sponsored guerrilla training was integrated with the teachings of Islam.
Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have consistently supported the
“Militant Islamic Base”, including Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda, as part of their
foreign policy agenda. The links between Osama bin Laden and the Clinton
administration in Bosnia and Kosovo are well documented by congressional
records.
The Arabic version of Doha based Aljazeera, has joined the growing
chorus questioning the beheading of journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
The news channel says the videos are "unconvincing" and Foley and
Sotloff are actors right out of "Hollywood" casting. It believes the
videos were produced as a pretext ahead of a U.S. invasion of Syria.
"Perhaps the first thing that draws the attention of the viewer" in
the first beheading video is that "Foley was playing the role of champion
not the victim only, for he recites a lengthy statement in peerless theatrical
performance, and it seems from tracking the movement of his eyes that he was
reading a text from an autocue,"
As the United States and world observe the thirteenth anniversary
of the most momentous false flag in modern history, the American public would
be well-served to remind itself that IS is the new Al Qaeda—in other words, the
new pretext that will in all likelihood be used to take police state measures
at home and military aggression abroad to new, perhaps unprecedented, levels.
Meanwhile well known Indian columnist Prof Ram Punyani wrote in an
article titled ISIS, Oil Politics and Peaking of
Islamophobia that; there are enough good resources to
tell us about the scheme of US in the West Asia to control the oil wealth. The
US dictum for this area has been ‘Oil is too precious a commodity to be left to
control of natives’. While one has burnt midnight oil to unravel the
trajectory of US policy through books with solid scholarship, the job of
understanding this has become easy with a small video clip of Hillary Clinton.
Very smartly and briskly she tells us that it was US which created Al Qaeda by
indoctrinating the Muslim youth. A peep into the history of the region tells us
that this indoctrination was done by using the distorted version of Islam,
Wahabbism to be more precise.
This force, Al Qaeda was created, richly funded and armed to the
teeth by US, to fight the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. With the brutality
of Al Qaeda being manifest, US media presented its demonic image by coining the
word ‘Islamic terrorism’ after 9/11 2001. Before this 9/11 episode, the acts of
terror were not linked to religion, though people coming from different
religions have resorted to such acts. From killer of Mahatama Gandhi, Indira
Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, to Buddhist monks resorting to terror acts in Thailand,
Mynmar, Sri Lanka to Anders Berling Brevik of Norway, people coming from
different religious stocks have indulged in acts of terror for diverse
political reasons. After 9/11 the acts of terror was associated exclusively
with Islam.
Interestingly the version of Islam picked up by US to create Al
Qaeda, to indoctrinate Mujahideen in to terror trails, was formulated by Abd
al-Wahhab, who had started rigidifying Islam; imposing his exclusive version in
the projection of Islam.
This version suited the Saudi ruling family in keeping their
control over oil resources and the same version suited the US designs, where
the meaning of Kafir (One who denies the truth) is changed to the non Muslim,
the ‘other’.
These pictures, authenticity yet to
be known, showing IS Chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his team with US Senator
John McCain has been in circulation in e mails
What do they do now with Wahabi Islam in head and armaments
received courtesy the United States, in hands? So IS comes up in due course,
and the illusion that they can now rule the World, they will install Khalifa,
and all the insanity follows!
As such US has been out to play ‘divide and rule’ like the earlier
colonial powers. In India colonial powers sowed the seeds of communal politics.
In West Asia, during last few decades after the demise of Soviet Union; US
imperialism is aiming to create smaller states along ethnic-sectarian divides
and feeding into the divides and clashes along Shia-Sunni-Kurd lines.
‘Divide-et-empera’ (divide and rule) is at its peak but is also at the same
time demonizing the Muslims Worldwide through the Islam phobia which is
constructed around the evil deeds of the likes of Al Qaeda or IS.
How can we bring in reason in ‘social thinking’ in the face of
powerful vested interests who want to use and abuse religion for their
political goals, demonize a religious community is a question not easy to
resolve. Challenging the prevalence of ideas of the dominant sections, dominant
social powers; is a tall order, which has to be taken up in all seriousness if
we want peace and progress in our society.
In an article titled “Obama Threatens War on humanity” American columnist
Stephen Lendman said “Permanent war is official US policy. Obama is
the latest in a long line of rogue warrior presidents. He’s waged multiple
direct and proxy wars. He’s done so throughout his tenure. He has lots more
death and destruction in mind. More on this below. America’s culture is
violent. It’s always been this way. It glorifies wars in the name of peace. It
has the highest homicide among Western nations by far. Ends
