ISIS Agrees To Work With Itself - US Calls For Panic, Attack On AssadBrandon Turbeville The mainstream medias accounts of the new alliances between Nusra and ISIS are compelling indeed, as good narratives always are, regardless of whether or not they are true. For instance, as Deb Reichmann of the Associated Press writes, Of course, what the Associated Press neglects to mention is that while, admittedly, ISIS and Nusra have engaged in battle against one another on several occasions [such is the nature of fanaticism], the fact is that the two are actually the same organization. For instance, it is important to remember the genealogy of ISIS which can be discovered through observing the career of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. As Voltaire Net writes, Note also that Voltaire Net describes al-Nusra, a documented al-Qaeda connected group, as merely an extension of the IEI (Islamic Emirate of Iraq) which itself was nothing more than a version of Al-Qaeda In Iraq. Thus, from Al-Qaeda in Iraq, came the IEI, which then became the Islamic Emirate of Iraq and the Levant. IEIL then became ISIS/ISIL which is now often referred to as IS. In other words, Nusra=Al-Qaeda-IEI=IEIL=ISIL=ISIS=IS. Although too lengthy of a study to be presented in this article, it is important to point out that al-Qaeda is entirely a creation of the West, created for the purpose of drawing the Soviets into Afghanistan in the 1970s and a host of other geopolitical goals in the Middle East and around the world, 9/11 being the most memorable instance of Western intelligence al-Qaeda mobilization.[1] As for the moderate rebels, the reality is that the so-called opposition in Syria is anything but moderate. As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, Indeed, even the New York Times has been forced to admit that there are, as Cartalucci expertly argues in his article, no moderates in the ranks of the Syrian death squads. As Ben Hubbard wrote in April, 2013, Even one of the FSA commanders, Bassel Idriss, recently admitted to openly collaborating with ISIS and al-Nusra, revealing yet another example of the fact that the moderate rebels are not moderate at all. In an interview with the Daily Star of Lebanon, Idriss stated We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Armys gatherings in . . . Qalamoun . . . Lets face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values. Idriss also admitted that many FSA fighters had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He said, [ISIS] wanted to enhance its presence in the Western Qalamoun area. After the fall of Yabroud and the FSAs retreat into the hills [around Arsal], many units pledged allegiance [to ISIS]. Abu Fidaa, a retired Syrian Army Colonel who is now a part of the Revolutionary Council in the Qalamoun, corroborated Idrisss statements by saying that A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra. In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything. Not only the FSA, but also the Syrian Revolutionary Front has also openly admitted to working with Nusra and al-Qaeda. The leader of the SRF, Jamaal Maarouf admitted that his brigades coordinate with Nusra and al-Qaeda regularly. Salem Idriss, one of the men seen in the photograph with John McCain, is the commander of the FSA, the opposition group touted as a moderate rebels. In reality, of course, the FSA is nothing of the sort. As Daniel Wagner wrote for the Huffington Post in December, 2012, [] The FSA is no stranger to atrocities. The FSA is the moderate opposition that was filmed forcing a young child to behead a Syrian soldier. It is also the moderate opposition that maintained burial brigades, a system of mass murder and mass executions against soldiers and those who support the Syrian government. The burial brigades were only one small part of a much wider campaign of terror and executions implemented by the Free Syrian Army. Of course, the Free Syrian Army is merely the umbrella group of death squads carefully crafted to present a moderate face on what is, in reality, nothing more than savage terrorists. Thus, the FSA encompasses(d) a number of smaller brigades of al-Qaeda terrorists in order to cover up the true nature of its own ranks. One such brigade was the Farouq brigade, to which Abu Sakkar was a member. Sakkar, also seen in photographs with John McCain, was the famous rebel videotaped cutting the heart out of a Syrian soldier and biting into it. It is thus necessary to understand that there is no difference between the moderate rebels, ISIS, and Nusra in order to understand the deceptive nature of the narrative being promoted by mainstream media outlets regarding the recent alliance. As it is, the story provided by Western media outlets will be used to justify NATO military invasion in Syria based on the lie that the poor moderate rebels and peaceful democracy-loving activists are being overwhelmed by both ISIS/Nusra extremists on one side and brutal dictator Assad on the other. If America does not step in on the side of the moderates, the story goes, the poor moderates will be eradicated and America left with the choice between Islamic extremists or a civilian-killing dictator. Of course, the very notion that America deserves any options in the internal affairs of a foreign nation is an expression of gross arrogance. It is also absurd to paint Bashar al-Assad as a brutal dictator who kills his own people when there has been no shred of evidence to indicate that Assad has intentionally targeted civilians during the entire conflict. Even more absurd, however, is to paint the FSA, SRF, and other moderate rebels, as moderate in an effort to pretend that there is such a thing as a desirable faction of the rebellion, in Syria. In reality, it is nothing more than a false narrative cooked up in order to justify American and NATO involvement on behalf of Western-backed death squads. Also note that the clever script regarding the plight of the poor moderates comes on the heels of a White House announcement that America cannot continue its fictitious war on ISIS without removing Assad from power. As Reuters reported on November 12, The Times of Israel was somewhat more forthcoming in its own report which stated, In Syria, where the administration was planning on waiting to confront the Islamic State and Assad, the Pentagon is now considering expanding and speeding up its program of vetting and training moderate rebels. In other words, in order to defeat ISIS, we must remove the person fighting ISIS so that we will be able to bring ISIS into power, all while stating our resolute opposition to ISIS. Such logic would be staggering in its stupidity if it were truly being applied. In the end, the claims surrounding the plight of the death squads presented to the American people as moderates against the death squads presented to the American people as extremists is nothing more than theatre, albeit mindboggling at times. The United States and NATO have funded, armed, trained, and directed the terrorists rampaging across Syria from the very beginning of the crisis and continue to do so today. We must not allow ourselves to be fooled by propaganda and false narratives designed to stampede us to war.
