Saudi Anti-Terror Coalition a Facade to Hide Yet More Terrorism BehindBy Tony Cartalucci CNNs article, Muslim nations form coalition to fight terror, call Islamic extremism disease, claims: Calling Islamic extremism a disease, Saudi Arabia has announced the formation of a coalition of 34 largely Muslim nations to fight terrorism. This announcement comes from the Islamic worlds vigilance in fighting this disease so it can be a partner, as a group of countries, in the fight against this disease, Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman said. Asked whether the new coalition could include ground forces, Saudi Arabias top diplomat told reporters in Paris on Tuesday that nothing is off the table. In reality, decades of documented evidence reveal that the Saudis are the primary conduit through which Western cash, weapons, support, and directives flow into mercenary armies of extremists, indoctrinated by Saudi Wahhabism a politically-motivated perversion of Islam and sent to execute joint Western-Saudi geopolitical ambitions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and beyond. In fact, over the decades, one can see a direct relation to the increasing impotence of Western conventional forces and their ability to project power across the planet, and the rise of unconventional terrorist forces that reach into otherwise inaccessible regions in their stead. This does more than the Wests feigned ignorance and surprise to explain why, after a year of allegedly battling the so-called Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) in Syria, the United States made little progress and only after Russias recent intervention, has the terrorist organizations existence been put in jeopardy. The rise of ISIS, turns out to be the premeditated machinations of the West and its regional partners. A Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) report drafted in 2012 (.pdf) 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). To clarify just who these supporting powers were that sought the creation of a Salafist (Islamic) principality (State), the DIA report explains: The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime. The DIA report makes it clear that Saudi Arabias coalition is the source of all terrorism, not the solution, and that there already exists a coalition sincerely committed to exterminating the scourge of militant extremism in the MENA region Russia, China, Iran, and of course Syria itself. Likely what Saudi Arabia is doing, is attempting to reboot a narrative that, as of late, is increasingly implicating it and many of the members of its coalition as the very source of global terrorism. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has become increasingly involved directly with military operations beyond its borders. Its forces are fighting in neighboring Yemen, and military forces from Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf neighbors have been fighting covertly and semi-covertly in operations stretching from Libya to Syria. Creating a coalition to fight terrorism, would give the Saudis another rhetorical ploy to hide their increasingly direct role in supporting militarily the terrorist proxies they have deployed and who are now being defeated across the MENA region. Just as the US has done in Syria, using ISIS as a pretext to involve itself directly and militarily in the Syrian conflict without ever actually fighting ISIS, Saudi Arabia is seeking to create a plausible cover story to do the same. For those interested in truly defeating terrorism globally recognizing the state sponsors of terrorism and excluding them categorically from solving the problem until they are held responsible for creating it in the first place is essential. Saudi Arabias announcement was met with skepticism, even ridicule for this very reason. Second, to defeat terrorism globally, those truly interested in investing in such a battle, should do so with those demonstrating a sincere desire to eradicate this scourge. Thanks to the US DIA, a list of nations leading the fight has already been provided.

Nothing more fake than calling them Saudis, they should be labeled USA, Europe, Russia, Asia.
