US CIA & Pentagon Support Turkey’s Salafist Militias

 

 

New data from Turkey reveals that almost all of these militias were armed and trained in the past by the CIA and Pentagon.

 

In a video message, one of the invading fighters promised mass ethnic cleansing if Kurds in the area refused to convert to his Wahhabi strain of Sunni Islam. “By Allah,” the fighter declared, “if you repent and come back to Allah, then know that you are our brothers. But if you refuse, then we see that your heads are ripe, and that it’s time for us to pluck them.”

The Usual Suspects:

Back in 2012, however, when Clinton was Secretary of State, she junketed to Istanbul to rally support for those very same militias during a “Friends of Syria” conference convened by Erdogan.

 

CNN’s Clarissa Ward was an especially enthusiastic promoter of the FSA, embedding with its fighters, painting them as a heroic resistance. When she returned to Syria years later, she used a top mouthpiece of Syria’s local Al Qaeda affiliate as a fixer for her unequivocally pro-opposition “Inside Aleppo” series.

New Book: The Management of Savagery

 

Review of Max Blumenthal’s The Management of Savagery (2019): ‘AQ is on our side’

 

Blumenthal’s message is crystal clear: US-Israel policy from 1979 on has been to create and support Muslim terrorism, even as it claims to be fight terrorism.* It used them in Afghanistan to undermine the Soviet Union, and has used them ever since to secure control of world politics. Create the problem, and provide the solution.

 

* Since 9/11, that is High Treason. US officials should be tried for Treason for any material aid they gave to Al Qaeda in Libya, Syria, and elsewhere.

16 Shots: behind a shocking film about an unlawful police shooting

 

PS

 

In yet another absurdity, Facebook censored the above post, exactly as it is, now disallowing film blogs to post trailers of films. They claim it’s “spam.” I wonder if that applies to all film blogs and their deluge of Avengers drivel, or is it more focused on police murder and documentaries about political issues?

THIS is why Tulsi Gabbard needs to be in the debates: she will tell the truth despite how unpopular or contorted it’s been with propaganda. She wrote the STOP ARMING TERRORISTS ACT, which could NOT get passed in the US Congress.

Send her a dollar or more to ensure that she makes the requirement to be on the debate stage:

Right-Wing Terrorism in USA, 2018

 

New report from ADL:

Murder and Extremism
in the United States in 2018

In 2018, domestic extremists killed at least 50 people
in the U.S., a sharp increase from the 37 extremistrelated
murders documented in 2017, though still lower
than the totals for 2015 (70) and 2016 (72). The 50
deaths make 2018 the fourth-deadliest year on record
for domestic extremist-related killings since 1970.
• The extremist-related murders in 2018 were
overwhelmingly linked to right-wing extremists.
Every one of the perpetrators had ties to at least one
right-wing extremist movement, although one had
recently switched to supporting Islamist extremism.
White supremacists were responsible for the great
majority of the killings, which is typically the case.
