US Complains As Russia Bombs its TerroristsBy Tony Cartalucci Russian aircraft carried out a bombing attack against Syrian opposition fighters on Wednesday, including at least one group trained by the C.I.A., eliciting angry protests from American officials and plunging the complex sectarian war there into dangerous new territory. This of course would only make Russias actions dishonest or dangerous if groups trained by the US CIA were in fact the moderates the US claims they are. However, they are not, and thus Russias actions are duly justified as is the expansion of their current policy. For months now, after years of headlines confirming the US has been covertly arming militants in Syria for the purpose of overthrowing the government in Damascus, a narrative revolving around tens of thousands of these militants defecting to Al Nusra and the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has been peddled to the public by the Western media and US politicians to account for the apparent failure of Americas alleged policy of creating an army of moderates to both fight ISIS/Al Qaeda and the Syrian government. In reality, from the beginning, there were never any moderates. Starting as early as 2007, years before the war in Syria began, the US as a matter of policy had long since decided to intentionally fund and support the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood for all intents and purposes the political wing of Al Qaeda and begin arming militants affiliated with Al Qaeda itself. This was revealed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article titled, The Redirection Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?, which stated explicitly (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabias government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran.The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. Hershs prophetic 9-page report would also reveal that even then, the extremist Syrian Muslim Brotherhood was already receiving funding and support from the United States via Saudi Arabia. His report revealed (emphasis added): There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me,The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House.(In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. By 2011, Al Qaedas affiliates in Syria, most notably the Al Nusra Front, began operating nation-wide, taking the lead in the US-backed fight against Damascus. By 2012, when the US State Department listed Al Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization, it was clear even then, that the largest contingent of anti-government forces on the battlefield was Al Qaeda. The US State Departments official statementregarding Al Nusra reported that: Since November 2011, al-Nusrah Front has claimed nearly 600 attacks ranging from more than 40 suicide attacks to small arms and improvised explosive device operations in major city centers including Damascus, Aleppo, Hamah, Dara, Homs, Idlib, and Dayr al-Zawr. During these attacks numerous innocent Syrians have been killed. It is clear that Al Qaeda was not only involved in the conflict since its beginning, but also led it. This betrays current US rhetoric that Al Qaeda had only entered the fight later on, seizing on the chaos created by moderates and their fight with Damascus. It is clear that it was Al Qaeda itself that drove that chaos from the beginning, and is still driving this chaos to this day. To explain how Americas fictional moderate army has been displaced on the battlefield in Syria by Al Qaeda and ISIS, the US claims that its multi-billion dollar nearly 5-year operation has suffered from massive defections. The Guardian would report in its article, Free Syrian Army rebels defect to Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra, that: Syrias main armed opposition group, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), is losing fighters and capabilities to Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist organisation with links to al-Qaida that is emerging as the best-equipped, financed and motivated force fighting Bashar al-Assads regime. The International Business Times would report in its article, Four Years Later, The Free Syrian Army Has Collapsed, that: The Nusra Front, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, has picked up thousands of men who once fought under the umbrella of the FSA during the past three years. It offers its soldiers hundreds of dollars a month in salary and food installments. The soldiers in the FSA did not receive any monthly stipend. When extremist groups such as the Nusra Front gained ground in Syria and received millions of dollars in cash and weapons from wealthy businessmen in the Gulf states and Libya, the moderate rebels had no other choice, Jarrah said. They feel like they are cheated, so they join ISIS. The Daily Beast would report in its article, Main U.S.-Backed Syrian Rebel Group Disbanding, Joining Islamists, that: The Syrian rebel group Harakat al-Hazm, one of the White Houses most trusted militias fighting President Bashar al-Assad, collapsed Sunday, with activists posting a statement online from frontline commanders saying they are disbanding their units and folding them into brigades aligned with a larger Islamist insurgent alliance distrusted by Washington. Harakat al-Hazm would take with them to Al Qaeda and ISIS, millions of dollars worth of sophisticated US weapons, including US-made anti-tank TOW missiles. The most recent US supported group, the fabled Division 30, has also allegedly defected to Al Qaeda assuming they werent Al Qaeda militants from the beginning. The Telegraph in its article, US-trained Division 30 rebels betray US and hand weapons over to al-Qaedas affiliate in Syria, reported that: Pentagon-trained rebels in Syria are reported to have betrayed their American backers and handed their weapons over to al-Qaeda in Syria immediately after re-entering the country. Fighters with Division 30, the moderate rebel division favoured by the United States, surrendered to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, a raft of sources claimed on Monday night. What this news, admitted to by the West itself, of these US-backed moderates joining Al Qaedas ranks by the thousands proves is that at the very least Americas policy of building up a moderate opposition has failed entirely. What documented evidence stretching back as far as 2007 proves is that the US had no intention of building up a moderate opposition in the first place, and news of defections are simply cover for the direct funding and arming of Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. At the very least, Russia bombing these groups either having already defected to Al Qaeda, or inevitably going to defect to Al Qaeda, is doing the Pentagon a favor. This leads back to the most recent New York Times article. Russia is not arbitrarily bombing moderates backed by the US in Syria to stave off allegedly legitimate opposition to the government in Damascus Russia is bombing terrorists who are either operating under the banner of Al Qaeda but are portrayed as otherwise by the US, or will inevitably end up turning their fighters and weapons over to Al Qaeda. Russia is bombing Al Qaeda. The New York Times articlewould also claim: By supporting Assad and seemingly taking on everybody fighting Assad, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said Wednesday, Russia is taking on the whole rest of the country thats fighting Assad. Some of those groups, he added, are supported by the United States and need to be part of a political resolution in Syria. Indeed, Russia is undoubtedly bombing militants supported by the United States, but that is only because the United States has intentionally supported Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. At any time if the United States truly wanted to strike an irreparable blow at ISIS forces, it could simply seal off the Turkish border across which the summation of ISIS supplies, fighters, weapons, and vehicles flow. By securing the Turkish-Syrian border to the north, and the Jordanian-Syrian border in the south, the United States could strangle ISIS out of existence in a month, if not sooner. That it has intentionally allowed ISIS supplies to flow out from under the nose of its allies and its own military forces stationed both in Jordan and in Turkey, indicates the the US at the very least is tacitly perpetuating the existence of ISIS but most likely is actively involved in filling the trucks bound for ISIS in Syria as well. US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter claims that the Russian position is doomed, in what appears to be a pledge by the United States to resist Moscows attempts to stamp out Al Qaeda groups in addition to taking on and eliminating ISIS. Some might consider doubling down on a policy of backing terrorists that will inevitably be revealed to the world, and a policy that has thus far failed to topple the Syrian government which is now being bolstered by Russian, Iranian, and possibly Chinese forces, is a policy that is ultimately doomed. And finally, it must be noted, for those still doubting ISIS is in fact an intentional creation of US foreign policy, that ISIS is now fighting the combined military forces of Syria, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and now Russia. One must ask themselves who has the material resources, finances, and operational capacity to support a single army capable of taking on a multinational coalition of this size. Where, if not from the US and its regional allies, is ISIS deriving the source of its fighting capacity? Claiming to fight ISIS, while so transparently supporting them, is indeed a doomed position, one doomed to fail today, and one doomed to eternal condemnation in the future. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. Its the NYT trash paper of the Corporate States of Chaos.you expect them to write something honest when they do not even have a reporter in the area of the Syrian Army. The biggest cop-out of the western press unconfirmed source equals told to write by the Chaos Department Sure thing, the MSMs job is to keep the TPTBs story line on track. Operation Mockingbird took over the media lapdogs a long time ago. Theres no point in deconstructing these stories except to look for budding psy ops. Dont know who the Chaos Department is but if its a wing of The Defense Department/CIA than you may be on to something. The only real change that will ever take place in this country will start with the dismantlement of The Federal Reserve andcomplete destruction of the CIA and much of the foreign bribery money. The social welfare net in this country is not the main issue its the foreign country welfare bribery state and the military industrial complex. What if the Syria dust up wasnt ever really about taking down Assad and instead was a massive smoke blowing operation to create cover for the creation of ISIS, Operation Cyclone 2.0? Not being open to all the layers of deception constantly being shoved our way creates blind spots. We need to be mindful of all possible scenarios being engineered by the men behind the curtain. ISIS was created over 30 years ago. Al-Qaeda, Free Syrian Army, ISIS/ISIL, Al Nusra etc Are all the same terrorist network funded by the west to further there agenda. There is no new creation of terrorist, just rebranding and continued covert funding of these insane criminals. You are absolutely correct! Its the same operations repeated over and over again to include the long running Operation Gladio. Engineering conflict and terror is the Strategy of Tension, a global elite tactic used widely since at least WWI. The point I keep trying to make is there is ample evidence the global elite have now fully captured control over every nation, including Russia, and they are using grand geopolitical theater (Strategy of Tension) to move us closer towards their world government prison planet paradigm The leaders of nation states resisting the NWO (Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya) were taken out, with the exception of N. Korea and oddly MSM news on N.Korea has been very quiet. What we have to remember is its the ties that bind us and we have been directly linked to Saudia Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Israel for decades and they are direct players and always have been so there shoukd be little confusion on our stance. The shame stream media does its job still i guess. Take a look at the interview of Professor Antony Sutton on youtube The Best Enemies Money Can Buy. Its important to understand how conflicts are engineered, including WWI and WWII. Sutton proved this beyond any doubt with extensive research and documentation. Its POWERFUL information and a lot to wrap your head around truly just the tip of the iceberg. Russia can kill every terrorist in Syria.the sooner the better the only thing that is doomed is The world is doomed if and when Global Technocracy completes its 24/7 surveillance and monitoring prison planet. Just as G. Edward Griffin and other great minds have proposed, the people of the world must unite against this unholy nemesis and parasite called the global elite. Know your enemy, understand the problem, and never underestimate your adversary. If not, then we are all toast. This is just another propaganda rag like FOX or CNN. Mention the real perpetrators here? And your post disappears! Russia is bombing the CIA/USA/NATO supported islamists! That is the problem! Its apex globalist (international bankster, Zionist ideologues) N-dimensional chess in the form of geopolitical theater. Russia has been in a state of Deep Capture by the global mafia a very long time. TPTBs engineered the rise of the Bolsheviks and Russias economic implosion in the mid-90s forcing the Russian ruling class to reconfigure the economy into the globalist IMF/BIS neoliberal paradigm. The apex globalists are megalomaniac psychopaths who work on levels of manipulation and time scales few can comprehend. The Veteran Today Daily Report gives a more accurate version on what is going on in Syria than the New York Times, which just prints reports handed it by the CIA. Since the CIA is backing ISIS what did you expect? Mr. Putin must have studied chess under a master. The only ones who have no idea the U.S./Israel manufacture these terrorist groups are the mutt culture here. Once Putin allowed both to rant on about (shiver), the evil Muslim radicals until their lips became tangled, Russia steps up and states that since the U.S. cant stop them, theyll help. It makes one wonder if idiocy walks hand in hand with evil/treachery. Sadly, it would appear so in this case and. the idiocy has proven to be of plague proportion for it has infected nearly all citizens in this brand-new oligarchy. If treachery and corruption were dynamite, the West couldnt blow their noses How many tens of millions were murdered by the Soviets? The gulags described by Solzhenitsyn were the product of the same human frailties that plague the United States. The psy op of US exceptionalism was always ridiculous BS. The US become the economic and military hegemon only because the most rapacious group of elites to walk the planet captured America and molded it into a tool and weapon for control. Our guilt is not escaping the dumbing down and mind control fast enough to kick out the elite parasites. This process has repeated itself for thousands of years Your comment gives me hope. Thank you. Follow the money. Henry Kissinger said some time ago that he did not think Israel would be around in 10 years. Now, its also clear that Progressives agree that backing Israel was not going to bring Soros and his ilk of international bankers the peace they want for a Middle-East economic community. So its time for Russia to clean up Syria and align financial interests as needed for Iran to be the big dog hegemonist. Then bankers can start making trillions through trade and of course the resulting massive debt. Like it or not, they think its time for Israel to go. And like it or not most of our politicians agree because (surprise) it makes their job easier if they dont have to make special considerations for Israel when wheeling and dealing with the Middle-East. It also makes it easier for bankers, lobbyists and global corporations to fatten our politicians campaign coffers from crony capitalist kickbacks. Motto of the Slimy Serpent occupying the Pentagon: By deception, lying and false flag terrorism I will instigate and foment chaos and carnage. May the entire global population assist Russia to stamp this fkkn things head right into the ground! Shortly after the Soviet Union fell apart, Operation Gladio part B (FBIs classification after Gladio Europe operations) was dismantled and several Turkish Generals fled to Russia for asylum because they knew too much about Gladio B having been largely based out of Turkey. Russia had the goods on the US then and could have revealed this to the world thus shaking the political foundations of Europe and the US their cores given Gladio B was a long running NATO directed operation for false flag attacks blamed on communists and subversives. The Russian know well 9/11 was a false flag attack and have officially said nothing. Unofficially, they could have educated their entire population on this but then there are parallels to this in Russia with a murdered intelligence whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko providing information that the Russian government committed false flag attacks and blamed them on Chechens. I have absolutely no ill will against the Russian people, but we should not be naive and fail to understand their political and economic power structures have been corrupted too.
