The Wests Terrorist Catch and Release ProgramBy Tony Cartalucci So obvious is this fact, that the Western media itself admits it, but simply dismisses the obvious and deeper implications such facts pose by claiming it is merely systemic incompetence. The Wall Street Journal would admit that the recently arrested man in the hat also known as Mohamed Abrini, was also arrested for suspected terrorist activity allegedly scoping out potential targets in the UK but also like his collaborators inexplicably released. His brother had been to Syria where he fought and died alongside the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), and Abrini himself, too, appears to have been in Syria. The Wall Street Journals article, Brussels Suspect Mohamed Abrini: What We Know, reports that: After the U.K., Mr. Abrini traveled to Paris and then Brussels, where he was arrested but then released, according to the two people. But Belgian authorities passed the information about his U.K. trip, including images found on his phone, to the British, the sources said. Abrinis case of catch and release before carrying out a successful string of deadly attacks across Europe, is just the latest. Germanys largest press agency, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, reported in their article, Reports: Brothers known to police were among Brussels suicide bombers, that: Two Brussels brothers who were known to police are among the suicide bombers who carried out deadly terrorist attacks on the international airport and subway in the Belgian capital, local media reported Wednesday. And that: [Khalid El Bakraoui] had been sentenced in early 2011 to five years in prison for carjackings, after having been arrested in possession of Kalashnikov rifles, according to the Belga news agency. His brother, 30-year-old Brahim, had been sentenced in 2010 to nine years in prison for having shot at police with a Kalashnikov rifle during a hold-up, Belga said. The New York Times, in their article, Brussels Attack Lapses Acknowledged by Belgian Officials, would report regarding another Brussels bombing suspect, Brahim El Bakraoui, and his arrest and deportation from Turkey that: The Belgian justice and interior ministers acknowledged that their departments should have acted on a Turkish alert about a convicted Belgian criminal briefly arrested in Turkey last year on suspicion of terrorist activity, who turned out to be one of the suicide bombers. And the Belgian prosecutors office said that persons brother another suicide bomber had been wanted since December in connection with the Paris attacks. That makes 4 suspects who were known to European security agencies for violent crimes and/or terrorism, with each and every one of them in custody before the attacks unfolded. For fisheries around the world, the concept of catch and release allows anglers to enjoy the fishing experience while preserving the numbers and health of fish populations. The concept of catch and release for Western security and intelligence agencies appears very similar to maintain the illusion of counterterrorism operations, while maintaining the numbers and health of terrorist organizations around the world. Answering to what end the West is allowing terrorists to successfully carry out attacks against Western targets, the answer is quite simple. It allows for the expansion of power and control at home while justifying endless and profitable wars abroad. The creation and perpetuation of terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda and ISIS by the West and its allies serve another, admitted purpose. In the 1980s it was admitted that Al Qaeda was created to wage proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. In 2011, the US and its NATO and Persian Gulf allies used terrorists linked to Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria in an attempt to overthrow their respective governments. Today, ISIS serves both as an armed proxy waging full-scale war on the governments of Syria, Iraq, and more indirectly Iran and Russia, as well as a means to threaten and coerce nations around the world. Political impasses in Southeast Asia revolving around Americas waning influence in the region have been met with the sudden and otherwise inexplicable appearance of ISIS. In one case, Indonesia signed a large rail deal while pursuing other economic and military partnerships with Beijing, before suffering its fist ISIS attack in its capital, Jakarta. Thailand was likewise threatened by the US of an imminent ISIS attack, amid attempts by Bangkok to uproot the political networks of US-backed political proxy, Thaksin Shinawatra. Bangkok has also shown hesitation to sign the unpopular US-sponsored Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement. Bangkok was already hit by terrorism last year after returning suspected terrorists to China to face justice against Americas repeated protests. Just months later, groups tied to NATO terrorist front, the Turkish Grey Wolves, carried out a bombing in the center of Bangkok. ISIS, its counterparts, and peripheral groups like NATOs Grey Wolves, serve multiple roles for the West. They are a pretext to invade and occupy foreign nations, a proxy army to wage war against its enemies with, and a means of maintaining fear and obedience at home under the auspices of an increasing police state. It is difficult to believe the West could maintain its current foreign and domestic policy without this menace it has become an integral part of Western geopolitical strategy. Many are quick to dismiss evidence of Western special interests use of terrorists and terrorism to project geopolitical power abroad and maintain control at home. This is despite the admitted nature of the Wests role in the creation and utilization of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan during the 1980s, and signed and dated policy papers like the Brookings Institutions 2009 Which Path to Persia? document which openly advocated using listed-terrorist organization, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), to wage a proxy campaign of violence against the Iranian people and their government. MEK, it should be noted, is guilty of killing American civilians and military personnel, as well as continuing a campaign of terrorism against civilian and political targets in Iran. Brookings in fact, admits this while proposing the US use of the terrorist organization to carry out US foreign policy objectives. If MEK is a suitable candidate for Western sponsorship, why not ISIS? Considering this, and the coincidental arming and funding of rebels in Libya by the US and its allies in 2011 who are now verifiably members of listed terrorist organizations, revelations of US involvement behind the rise of ISIS should come as little surprise. And beyond mere speculation, a 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report leaked to the public, admits that the US and its allies sought the creation of a Salafist (Islamic) principality (State) in eastern Syria, precisely where ISIS now resides. The US DIA admitted: If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran). The DIA document then explains exactly who this Salafist principalitys supporters are (and who its true enemies are): The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime. All thats left is for the Pentagon to perhaps, disclose payslips for ISIS leaders or logistical documents regarding US-NATO resupply operations for ISIS along the Turkish-Syrian border and perhaps even such a disclosure would still not be enough to convince some in the West that the special interests posing as their leaders are complicit in creating not only ISIS, but organizing and ensuring the chaos they cause unfolding at home and abroad wherever and whenever needed. The fact that literally every Brussels and Paris attack suspect was known to and in many cases detained by Western security agencies before the attacks, yet were released before being allowed to carry out their attacks successfully, proves that the West is enjoying the experience of maintaining a war on terror, but like good fishery conservationists, is ensuring the populations of their quarry remain healthy and numerous.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency, the second is war. Both bring temporary prosperity, both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of psychopathic political and economic parasitical opportunists. Ernest Hemingway They dont just catch and release. They stock the lake too. A very old game by corrupt governments going back centuries? Not just the west either, the Dubrovka Theater Siege in Moscow resulting in the horrific poisoned gas deaths of 130 hostages (the deadly gas launched by the Russian Authorities and deemed by UK and US figureheads to be reasonable actions) was carried about by a number of Chechen terrorists known well and followed closely by the authorities (shades of Tsarnaev brothers Boston bombing). It was said these terrorists were so well tracked it would have been impossible for them to organize and carry out an operation without intelligence knowing and working under a hands-off directive. A number of whistle blowers and analysts later asserted some of these terrorists were facilitated, operatives working with FSB intelligence = analogous to = World Trade Center bombings 1993 and countless FBI stings. All this for a pipeline for the House of Saud. Washington has sold its soul to the devil. They throw em back on account of they need to catch them again and again
