IS: Creation of and for the West and Israel
Desperation among the architects of the ISIS terror group at not being able to dislodge President Bashar Assad from power in Syria has led them to create a grand alliance to directly attack Syria using the pretext of “degrading and destroying” ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The involvement of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Jordan in the present US-led airstrikes against the ISIS is a deception to impress upon the international community that the airstrikes have the support of the regional Arab leadership. These countries are under direct US military siege and are complicit in the US-Nato worldwide terror network. Saudi Arabia is the home of several American bases; Qatar serves as the headquarters for CENTCOM, while Bahrain is the home of the American Fifth Fleet. The Shaheed Mwaffaq Air Base in Jordan houses American F-16 Squadrons, and from Zayed Military City, UAE employs its secret army of foreign mercenaries, formed with Xe Services, to conduct special operations in the Middle East.
The agenda of the ISIS forces to create a seemingly “messy” situation in the mountains of northern Iraq and Kurdistan threatening the forceful exodus of Christians and Yazidis in Mount Sinjar was a ploy for the US military to act for the protection of the oil fields and international oil interests in Irbil. The Yazidis were rescued by the Syrian Kurds and the attack against the Christians in Iraq and Syria by ISIS forces is for gaining the sympathy of Christendom against the Muslims. Not surprisingly, the IS leadership is in the hands of Abubakr Baghdadi of Jewish parentage who received military training and lessons in Islamic teachings from Israeli Mossad for one year. According to the Addiyar (a Lebanese daily newspaper), the Jewish name of Abubakr Baghdadi is Shimon Elliot and the ISIS was formed and nurtured by the British secret service MI6, Israeli Mossad and the US NSA, to carry out violence in the name of jihad in countries which pose a threat to the security of Israel.
The urgency to root out the ISIS from Syria with US-led aerial bombardment was caused by the alleged beheading of American freelance journalists, James Foley and Steven Scotloff. The alleged beheading of two British nationals and aid workers, David Haines and Alan Henning by ISIS has brought Britain into the US-led alliance. All the videos of the alleged beheadings were carried by Search for Intelligence Terrorist Entities (SITE) Intelligence Group, an authoritative US terrorism watchdog, and all are identical and lack 'conclusive' evidence of the acts.
The US-Nato-Arab coalition was formed to fight the ISIS force. President Barack Obama emphasised that the Assad regime could not be relied upon in the fight against ISIL and that the regime “will never regain the legitimacy it has lost.” The US Congress has approved $ 500 million to train and equip Syrian “moderate” rebel forces. However, all Syrian rebel forces, including the ISIS/ISIL and the other al-Qaeda forces such as the al-Nusrat and the Islamic Front, have struck a deal not to attack each other but to remove President Assad from power. Since the US-led coalition air-strikes, the ISIS forces have made significant advances both in western Iraq and in northern Syrian Kurdish region, thus validating the argument that the airstrikes are a smokescreen to help the ISIS forces occupy the grounds cleared by bombing. Using the pretext of destroying the ISIS fighting capability, the US-Nato-Arab airstrikes are systematically destroying the potential capacity of the Syrian military force with the destruction of Syrian military bases by ISIS forces. The Syrian air defense provided by Russia may be justifiably destroyed as collateral damage. Similarly, the Syrian oil refineries taken over by the ISIS forces are been destroyed, forestalling the Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline project. Regime change in Syria will likely see the end of Russia's presence in the Middle East with the US in control of Russia's only remaining naval facility in the Syrian port of Tartus.
Despite protests by the Turkish Kurds against the government's inaction to help the Syrian Kurds and the Parliament's approval for airstrikes against the ISIS forces, Ankara has not come to the rescue of the Syrian Kurds in Kobane, which has fallen into ISIS hands. Turkey is apprehensive of the US-Nato-Israel nexus' agenda of creating an independent Kurdistan comprising of Kurdish territories in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran.
Israel's aloofness from the coalition against the ISIS forces strengthens the argument that the security of Israel is guaranteed by its agents, the ISIS forces. According to documents released by Edward Snowden: “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state 'is to create an enemy near its borders.' ” The ISIS is an “enemy” created by Israel for its security and for the destabilisation of the region to maintain Israeli hegemonic power. Israel has been directly protecting the ISIS on the ground by keeping the sky clear of Syrian jets. The United Nations Report on the Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in the Golan Heights, released in September 2014, reveals close links between Israeli army and the ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorist organisations in Syria, indicating that the Israeli army is facilitating the treatment of wounded members of the “armed opposition” at the Israeli hospitals through the “the ceasefire line.”
The “war on terror” has attained a new name “war on war” as pronounced by President Barack Obama at the UN General Assembly in September 2014. In the context of global geopolitics, the US called upon the global leaders to unite to pursue the “network of death.” Any country seemingly of importance to the US military strategy but opposed to US global hegemonic rights is likely to see the surfacing of the tentacles of the US-Nato worldwide terror network al-Qaeda under a name suitable to the region or the purpose of the US-Nato mission.
