ISIS,
WHO ARE THEY?
There is a terrorist group
fighting mostly in Syria and also conducting terrorist strikes around the
middle east called ISIS. Who is ISIS, and how did they get their start?
I’m attaching articles from various sources
showing you exactly who they are, where they came from and how they operate. If
you don’t already know, you are going to be very surprised about these answers,
and if you do know, you should be very upset that nothing is being done and why
nothing is being done. This might take
more than one article, but as they say in court, I promise to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
I have never lied to you
before and I’, sure as hell not going to lie to you now. There are those naysayers
that will say I am only picking out the parts that enforce my ideas, but I will
say to you I am only printing the truth as I see it. As I have said many times
in the past, this is my column and I will print as I see fit. Of course I am
biased in my writings. I am scared to death what this country is turning into
and I am only doing my part to stop the insanity that is going to happen. You may agree, you may disagree, but you
cannot ignore the facts. It is up to you to decide, I am merely presenting the
facts.
In the latest episode of Truth in Media, Ben Swann investigates
the origins of the militant group referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria (ISIS).
“The name ISIS is one that every American knows,” Swann
said “The biggest threat to our national security since Al-Qaeda, right?
They are a brutal, savage group known for public beheadings and mass
executions. They are the face of the new war on terror.”
In the latest episode of Truth in Media, Ben Swann investigates
the origins of the militant group referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria (ISIS).
Who exactly is ISIS and where did they come from?
Angela Keaton, the founder of Antiwar.com,
said that ISIS is “entirely a creation of the United States’ behavior in
Iraq.”
“That’s how we got to where we are, because of war, because
of occupation, because of torture,” Keaton said. “The United States
government completely destabilized and wrecked Iraq. They caused it to fail
miserably and that is entirely the fault of the United States
government. There is no one else to blame.”
Swann explained that when the U.S. first invaded Iraq, it “blew
the country apart.” By destroying the existing government, toppling Saddam
Hussein, and destroying the infrastructure, the U.S. “left behind a power
vacuum” that would never have existed under Hussein.
Daniel McAdams, the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, said that the
impact caused by the actions of the United States is a “historical fact that
media just won’t discuss.”
“This has to do with U.S. action in the region, which
destroyed the infrastructure, which destroyed Iraq society, which destroyed the
Iraqi government,” McAdams said.
The militant group ISIS was formed as a small insurgent group in
Iraq in 2006. Swann noted that while they tried to create problems for the
U.S. military, they had no money and no real ability to recruit.
“Then, came a pivotal
moment that most Americans aren’t even aware of,” Swann said. “In
June 2013, a Northern General for the Free Syrian Army spoke out on Al
Jazeera Qatar and stated that if international forces did not send weapons, the
rebels attempting to overthrow Syrian president Bashar al-Assad would lose
their war within a month.”
Swann noted that just months before this occurred he
had personally confronted President Obama on the issue of why the U.S. was
covertly funding Syrian rebels. Although Obama acted as if he was
proceeding with caution, politicians such as Senator John McCain demanded
action.
“Within a matter of weeks of the Syrian general making his
plea for international help, the U.S., the Saudis, Jordan, Qatar, Turkey and
Israel began providing weapons, training and money to so-called rebel groups
like the Free Syrian Army,” Swann said.
In September 2013, American media outlets began reporting that
weapons were being given to Syrian rebels. CNN
reported that while the weapons are not “American-made,” they were “funded
and organized by the CIA.”
However, Swann said that things began to fall apart when less
than one year after the U.S. supplied Syrian “freedom fighters” with
weapons, those weapons ended up in the hands of ISIS fighters.
Those ISIS fighters came from the group McCain insisted would
help the U.S. overthrow Assad: the Free Syrian Army. Swann explained that the
army was not only sending the Islamic State weapons, it was also sending them
fighters.
“The Free Syrian Army has lost most of the land that it ever
claimed and it’s entirely incompetent,” Keaton said. “The only
thing that it has been good at is currying favor with western leaders.”
Swann said that it wasn’t until June 2014 that ISIS went from
being a “no-name group in Syria” to a group that was “heavily armed
and trained by U.S. and Coalition Special Forces.” This revitalized group
made a dramatic entrance by crossing back over the Syrian border into Iraq and
capturing Mosul and much of the northern part of the country.
“One of the most important facts that mainstream media
ignores time and time again is that ISIS was able to grow so fast, because of
all the U.S. military equipment they were able to seize – equipment that our
military left in Iraq,” said Swann. “Truckloads of Humvees, tanks and
weaponry that instead of taking or destroying, the U.S. government simply
decided to leave behind.”
However, even when the U.S. government became aware that ISIS
fighters were capturing U.S. equipment, it did nothing. Swann attributed the
lack of action to the fact that ISIS fighters were taking the equipment back
into Syria to continue fighting Assad, which was what the U.S. government
wanted.
“How is it that the United States, with all of its
intelligence capabilities, didn’t know this threat was coming?” McAdams
said. “How many billions did we spend, maybe a hundred billion on total
intelligence community budge over the year? How did they have no idea?”
Swann said that the answer is simple: “The U.S. did know who
ISIS was, but the so-called Islamic State was doing what the Obama
administration wanted.”
The ISIS fighters continued to do what the Obama administration
wanted, and in late summer 2014, they were labeled what Swann called, “the
new boogeyman in the war on terror.”
“Over the past few months, the U.S. government, who acted
like they had never even heard of ISIS, suddenly, with the help of media
has turned the Islamic State into the new focus of the war on terror,”
Swann said. “Now, as ISIS has continued its rise, recruitment is
exploding and the group is becoming stunningly wealthy.”
Swann noted that in response to the “ISIS threat,” the
U.S. began “conducting airstrikes on Syrian oil fields, instead of going
after those buying the oil.”
McAdams pointed out that ISIS makes $2 million a day off of
selling oil, and the United States’ response, of “undercutting the
competition” by blowing up oil fields makes no sense. He questioned
why the U.S., which is known for sanctioning “anything that moves,” when
it’s angry, is not placing sanctions on the banks or the oil companies that are
involved.
Swann added that in addition to those questions, Americans
should also be asking, “Why is the U.S. sending $500 million to the Free
Syrian Army to fight ISIS when the FSA is one of the biggest suppliers of fighters
and weapons to ISIS?” and “Why are we sending new and more powerful
weapons to the FSA like anti-aircraft missiles – weapons that we know will be
in the hands of ISIS?”
Swann maintained that while the mainstream media will say that
ISIS is the “creation of American inaction,” the reality is that they
are the “product of direct action.”
This direct action started with “the action of creating a
power vacuum in Iraq” and manifested into the “arming violent Jihadists,
hoping they would overthrow a leader in a neighboring Middle Eastern country.”
McAdams described the U.S. government as a victim of its own
insane policies, due to the fact that it is “very good at blowing things up,
but really bad at putting them back together.”
In determining whether or not McAdams’ statement was true, Swann
listed three facts:
Fact #1: “Our government armed Osama bin Laden and the
Mujahideen in Afghanistan and created al-Qaeda.”
Fact #2: “Our government put Saddam Hussein into power –
we helped supply and create chemical weapons for him to use against Iran in
1980 – and then we overthrew him in 2003.”
Fact #3: “Our government trained rebel fighters in Syria
who would become the group today known as ISIS. We have watched them commit
every violent atrocity you can imagine to people living in Iraq and Syria, and
now we want American taxpayers to fund a 30-year war with them.”
Swann came to the conclusion that it isn’t the U.S. government
being held hostage by crazy policies; rather it is the American people.
“It is time that we reject the destruction of people groups
around the world for the sake of foreign policy that makes so-called defense
contractors rich, and perpetuates violence, death, and the destruction of
entire people groups,” Swann said. “This is the central issue of our
time – because humanity is greater than politics.”

Paris, France: Muslim terrorists took the lives of over 120 people.
Here are my observations:
I am aghast and flummoxed at the number of Americans who just
cannot seem to comprehend the culpability that the U.S. government has in all
of this. This only makes sense when one takes into account that the vast
majority of Americans only know what the mainstream media tells them. And,
without question, our mainstream media is nothing more than a propaganda
ministry for Washington, D.C. Without a doubt, the controlled major media in
America rivals the controlled major media of Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s
Soviet Union.
Make no mistake about it: the wars in the Middle East are
Washington’s wars. The refugee crisis is the direct result of Washington’s
wars. G.W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and the continued violent
attacks by the Obama administration throughout the Middle East--not to mention,
the direct intervention of, and supervision by, the CIA, British intelligence,
the Israeli Mossad, and the governments of Turkey and Saudi Arabia--created
ISIS. Furthermore, these governmental entities have all helped to arm, sustain,
equip, supply--and medically care for--ISIS terrorists.
One needs to understand that violent Muslims have been killing
other Muslims for centuries. In fact, the vast majority of the people killed by
violent Muslims are other Muslims--NOT Christians and Jews. What happened in
Paris happens routinely in Syria.
ISIS is composed of mostly radicalized Saudi Arabian Sunni
Muslims. The goal is to dispose of President Assad’s government in Syria as a
stepping stone to conquering both Syria and Iran, thus turning those Shia
Muslim nations into Sunni Muslim nations. The result of which means Saudi
Arabia’s King Salman will become the de facto king of the entire Middle East.
It would also mean that King Salman (already the richest man in the world)
would single-handedly control the oil of the entire Middle East. And as
everyone should already know, King Salman is in the harlot’s bed with virtually
the entire western banking and petroleum worlds.
In addition, please understand that Washington’s wars have
created hundreds of thousands of grieving Muslim mothers who have watched Bush
and Obama’s bombers and drones take the lives of their sons and daughters--AND
THEY ARE MAD! The families of these deceased grandfathers, grandmothers,
fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and
cousins have made ISIS recruitment EASY. These people know that the western
alliance is behind these deaths and they want justice. Tell me we would react
differently if the deaths were members of our families.
Neocons and globalists in Washington, D.C., are using the Shia
Muslim people as the proverbial straw man to topple the governments in Iran and
Syria, because those Shia Muslim nations care absolutely nothing about getting
in bed with the international traders who want to further enrich themselves
from the profits that can be made in those countries. The only one who is
seriously making war against ISIS is Russia’s Vladimir Putin. And his efforts
against the Sunni terrorists began but just weeks ago.
The refugee crisis is a tool of globalists to destabilize the
West and help usher in a global Police State. Again, the goal is a global
economic system. The Federal Reserve has taken the U.S. and European economies
to the brink of collapse. The only thing that globalists can do to circumvent
this inevitable collapse is create global panic, global war, and a global
Police State. A Europe and America invaded with angry Muslims is just the
antidote.
Please understand that the vast majority of refugees are NOT
terrorists. They are persecuted Muslims and Christians (and others) who are
literally fleeing for their lives. But there is no question that CIA-backed
Sunni terrorists have infiltrated these refugees.
Ask yourself, why would refugees seeking safety and protection
in other countries want to murder hundreds of citizens within those countries?
They know this would completely alienate the country against them and only
serve to further endanger the lives of their families. The attacks in Paris
were NOT committed by refugees; they were committed by CIA-backed,
Saudi-backed, Mossad-backed, Turkey-backed, MI6-backed ISIS terrorists.
It is foolish for states to accept them. Governors are right to
refuse. (If the U.S. government was truly behaving in the interests of peace
and was not an active participant in creating war and instability in the Middle
East--and thus creating the refugee crisis to begin with--it would be a
different story.)
In addition, how did those terrorists successfully pull off
these coordinated attacks? How did they get fully-automatic rifles and bombs
into Paris? These people are NOT that sophisticated. They do NOT have those
kinds of connections. Do you think you could successfully get a group of people
together and smuggle dozens of automatic weapons and explosives into a European
country--and then successfully coordinate a large-scale attack in a
high-security major downtown city? The only people capable of such a thing are
Special Ops military personnel. In other words, ISIS had help, folks--a LOT of
help.
Furthermore, I believe the mainstream media and Washington
politicians are setting America up for another 9/11-type attack.
Following the Paris attacks, CIA director John Brennan wasted no
time saying that ISIS was preparing more attacks against the West. He also
criticized America’s privacy protections--meaning the Fourth Amendment and
similar impediments to government encroachment of our liberties.
Really, Mr. Brennan? If you are truly concerned about future
terrorist attacks in the United States, why are you not using the power of your
agency to help secure America’s borders?
After 9/11, the U.S. government did NOTHING to secure our
borders. And to this day, our borders are an open sieve. And you, Mr. Brennan,
helped to create thousands of additional terrorists; you helped arm them,
supply them, and sent Special Ops to help train them. And all you can say to
the American people is that we must surrender whatever protections against
governmental encroachment we have left?
Do you take us for fools?
And when this next terrorist attack against the U.S. occurs,
Washington politicians and their toadies in the mainstream media--along with
thousands of Christian “leaders”--will blame Islam. They won’t give a second
thought to who the real war-makers are.
“The uprising of ISIS is a direct result of Bush’s [and Obama’s]
war on terror. Terrorism is always a type of guerrilla warfare. It cannot take
over western countries for lack of organizational structure. It rises in an
area of power vacuum as a structured opposition is lacking. The goal of
terrorism is to initiate fear, to taunt powers and destabilize existing
political structures.
The first thing the president of France did following the
terrorist attacks in Paris was to close the French borders. DUH! I think the
fox is already in the henhouse.
Folks, let’s get real: if it wasn’t for Donald Trump, there
would not even be a national discussion about America’s illegal immigration
problem. However, the one disturbing element to Trump’s rhetoric regarding
immigration is his statements that, as president, he would seriously consider
closing mosques.
Again, Islam is NOT the problem. We have had mosques in the
United States since at least 1929. And there are nearly 3,200 mosques currently
in the United States. And none of them has been identified as producing
terrorist attacks in America. The terrorists that did participate in the
attacks on 9/11 were not even from the United States. They were from SAUDI
ARABIA. If we were going to attack a Muslim nation in retaliation for 9/11, why
didn’t we attack Saudi Arabia? Come on, folks. Are things not starting to add
up? When truth is abandoned, does it really matter which
version of error takes its place?
But there is another element to the Paris attacks: remember that
France--and most of Europe--is a giant gun-free zone. Think about it: a handful
of armed terrorists sent tens of thousands of French males into panic like
kitty cats in a thunderstorm. European governments (except for Switzerland)
have successfully stolen the manhood from the male citizens of that continent.
The Natural instinct of men is to FIGHT for their families, their friends, and
their communities. But for more than a half-century, socialist governments have
indoctrinated men to believe that they must depend on government to protect
their families, friends, and communities. Men are not allowed to defend
themselves. They are stripped, not only of the means of self-defense, but of
the mindset of self-defense. They are like a thousand Wildebeests running away
from a half-dozen lions. And that’s exactly what globalists want to see happen
in the United States. And in many respects, it has ALREADY happened in the
United States.
For all intents and purposes, many states and cities in America
are gun-free zones. Men and women are not allowed to defend themselves. The
media constantly bombards the minds of the American people with the philosophy
that we must depend on government to defend us. Government personnel are always
called “first responders.” They are NOT first responders. Private American
citizens at the scene are the first responders. By the time government
employees show up, most of the damage is already done. Asking
non-violent people to disarm doesn't discourage violence; it invites it. “These
pledges of non-violence and appeals for citizen disarmament are NOT intended to
reduce crime; they are intended to make the populace more dependent on
government. It's not about crime; it's about control.
