Al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri The Coordinator 2015 Part 19-138-
Caliphate- The State of al-Qaeda-42
- Retired general Carter Ham is the former head of the United States Africa Command. It's more likely that different groups are claiming credit for a single operation. And while there certainly is a measure of collaboration amongst some of these groups, I think, in this
particular case, It’s more likely that one group committed the attack and other's taking credit.
And if there was no direct order from the ISIS command, there is prima facie in Europe, a shadow Al Qaeda-like structure taking shape: the attacks in Paris were well-planned, prepared and executed. The claims of responsibility are not
definitive: there have been examples where Islamic leaderships have accepted responsibility and claimed an attack even when they did not order it -- and
whereby claiming it, severely damaged the movement. And if ISIS begins to lose its distinguishing feature -- that it is a territorial power
in Syria and Iraq -- then perhaps its leadership might conclude that Ayman al-
Zawahiri was right: Al Qaeda was right, and ISIS, if it faces losing its territoriality, must adopt Al Qaeda strategies (Al Qaeda has already called for a
united stand with ISIS against the Russian and Iranian interventions in Syria). As a Muslim I, Ali Aboeulseoud
Mohamed have an obligation to
change dar ul harp to dar ul Islam and establish Islamic law. It's an
obligation. It's not a choice The big difference between the two
movements in effect, is
"territoriality." Al Qaeda is global,
ephemeral and virtual, whereas
DAESH is territorial.
As recently as Sunday November 22nd, on the 52nd anniversary of the JFK assassination, Obama chose to
arrogantly claim that ISIS “cannot strike a mortal blow” against America.
Although al-Qaeda today engages mainly in regional insurgencies and terrorism against the near enemy, it has always asserted that attacking and actually defeat ing the United States is inseparable from achieving victory in the greater Middle East. In keeping with
this strategy, al-Qaeda has consistently attempted to attack the U.S. homeland. Al-Qaeda has also promoted what has become known popularly in North Amer ica as random “lone
wolf” and “home-grown” terrorism, but is closer to the theories espoused by jihadist strategist Abu Mus‘ab al-Suri 1for establishing small clandestine sleeper cells in enemy countries. Selections from al-Suri's writings were translated serially in al-Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) online magazine Inspire, which became infamous as a

training aid to the Tsarnaev brothers for their April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon
attack. DAESH and al-Qaeda both claim the same Salafist-Jihadist ideology, and the leaders of
both organizations have often called for attacks inside the United States. The two groups also share many of the same terrorist and small-group guerrilla tactics. However, before the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, one of the key differences often noted
between DAESH and al-Qaeda was the former’s strategic priority on the “near” enemy, while al-Qaeda is known for its attacks on the United States and its European allies, which
are considered “far” enemies. After Paris, that distinction between al-Qaeda’s and DAESH’s strategic targets is no longer valid, if indeed it ever was. On October 18, 2015, a DAESH promoter posted a 63-page English-language manual
entitled Safety and Security Guidelines for Lone Wolf Mujahideen 2(pdf). Reportedly, three former members of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence service now with this jihadist
organization in Raqqa, Syria, produced the document, which was adapted from an older al-Qaeda online Arabic language course. The new manual advises clandestine small-cell and individual jihadist terrorists operating in Western countries on how to maintain
security. Although these guidelines are based on al-Qaeda doctrine and tactics, they have been updated to include the latest technology and thinking. With the manual’s publication,
DAESH has demonstrated its intention to create a new hybrid war weapon in its
arsenal against the United States—a hidden weapon
designed to be difficult to trace operationally back to the jihadist organization or
to detect before an operation is executed. In
the wake of the DAESH attacks on Paris on November 13, 2015, the
United States and other English-speaking allies would do well to consider the instructions contained in this terrorist manual as another significant warning. - Michael W.S. Ryan, TJF

leading to the 9/11 attacks, no single agent of al Qaeda was more successful in compromising the U.S. intelligence community than a former Egyptian army captain
turned CIA operative, Special Forces advisor, and FBI informant named Ali Aboeulseoud Mohamed. In the annals of espionage, few men have moved in an out of the deep black world between the hunters and the hunted with as much audacity as Ali Mohamed--known
to his al Qaeda brothers as Ali Amiriki, or "Ali the American."

A deep-penetration al Qaeda sleeper, he succeeded as a triple agent, gaining
access to the most sensitive intelligence in the U.S. counter-terrorism arsenal. Next to Ramzi Yousef, the bomb maker who plotted both attacks on The Twin Towers, Mohamed
remains the greatest enigma in the war on terror. This is a direct quote from Mohamed in that video first reported in my HarperCollins investigative book TRIPLE CROSS in 2006.
"Islam cannot survive in an area without political domination. Islam itself, as a
religion, cannot survive. If I live in one area, we have to establish an Islamic
state, because Islam without political domination cannot survive.
"We have what we call a dar ul harp, which is the world of war, and dar ul Islam, which is the world of Islam. Dar ul harp, the world of war, comprises all the territory that doesn't have Islamic law.
"So if I live in an area of Egypt, for example, or in the Middle East, I will consider it dar ul harp. I will consider it the world of war, because actually it doesn't apply the Islamic law
one hundred percent. As a Muslim I have an obligation to change dar ul harp to dar ul Islam and
establish Islamic law. It's an obligation. It's not a choice."

Former Al Qaeda Terrorist Offers Chilling Warning: Another Attack Coming
‘Within the Next Two Weeks’ Nov. 17, 2015 A former member of Al Qaeda in Yemen warned Tuesday that a terror attack is likely within the next two weeks. Morten Storm, an
ex-terrorist who later became a double agent for the CIA, told Fox News host Megyn Kelly that he believes an attack is imminent. “I believe that within the next two weeks, we

will have an attack,” he said. Storm added, “The people who are on the run at
the moment from ISIS in Europe are very desperate, and they know their time’s up, and
they will need to do as much damage as possible.” The ex-terrorist said an attack on
American soil could happen, but would be a “bit different” because of the security precautions currently in place. “And I also believe that copycats in America will do their best to do what their brothers have done in Europe,” Storm said. Storm’s warning comes
just days after terrorists killed at least 129 in France in the deadliest violence the country had seen since World War II.
New al-Qaeda Video Calls ISIS ‘Un-Jihadi’ A new video purportedly released by al-Qaeda takes aim at the Islamic State, questioning the terror group’s leadership and
declaring their jihadism as un-Islamic. al-Qaeda and ISIS are currently at war with each other. November 22, 2015 The video was released by Jabhat al-Nusra, otherwise known
as al-Qaeda in Syria or al-Qaeda in the Levant, and is titled “So the Way of the Criminals
Will Become Clear #3.” The title implies that ISIS is comprised of criminals, which isn’t far from the truth. According to The Daily Mail: A US prison camp in Iraq became the
catalyst of the terror group ISIS because extremists were housed in the same vicinity with free time to devise a terror plan against America. Between 2003 and 2009 it is estimated
that more than 100,000 men passed through Camp Bucca, many of whom left highly radicalized. During these years, the camp provided the leaders of the embryonic ISIS, the chance to form alliances with members of Saddam Hussein’s ousted regime.
The president of Somalia, a country plagued by violence from Islamic militants, said on
November 17 that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group constitute the same “evil
force” and must be confronted in the wake of the attacks on Paris. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud knows the danger extremist
groups pose. He himself has been targeted for assassination by the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab, which continues to carry out attacks in his arid Horn of Africa nation.
Mohamud stressed the need for Western countries to embrace both military and economic measures to derail extremists. He acknowledged that some al-Shabaab militants have pledged their loyalty to the Islamic State group. “At the end, the result is the same: It is an
evil force that’s there for destruction, whether they’ve got the name al-Qaeda or Daesh,” Mohamud told The Associated Press, using an alternate Arabic acronym for the extremist
group. “They’re just rebranding, nothing more than rebranding,” he continued. “Their actions, their ideologies are all the same — [though] maybe one is more brutal than the other.” While Al-Shabab had pledged its support to al-Qaeda, a splinter cell within the
group recently offered its allegiance to the Islamic State group.
Paris Attack Shows Why Al Qaeda Might Have Been Right About ISIS All Along
Article Byline Information 11/17/2015 BEIRUT -- At this point, there are important components to events which are not clear:
Were the plans for the downing of the Russian airliner in Sinai, last week's multiple suicide attacks in Beirut and the bombings in Paris, conceived within the
Islamic State leadership and the operations executed according to the wishes and directions of the ISIS leadership in Raqqa or Mosul?
President François Hollande implied a connection to Raqqa, but gives no evidence.
But if this indeed is so, and let us presume it is, it signals a major shift in strategy by ISIS. The consequences imply that the West may no longer be able to fend off acknowledging
the Wahhabist origins of movements such as ISIS and Al Qaeda, nor ignore their umbilical

connection to Saudi Arabia, which has succored them -- even as the House of
Saud now fears that its monstrous progeny is intent on "cleansing" Arabia of the Al Saud themselves, and returning it the pristine Wahhabism on which Saudi Arabia originally was
founded -- the "one, true Islam" that ISIS insists upon. Al Qaeda is global, ephemeral and virtual, whereas ISIS is territorial.
In the wake of 9/11, the fact that 15 of the 19 attackers were Saudi citizens was airbrushed out from the landscape in favor of claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction -- which Washington wished the world would focus on more. It will not be so easy to ignore the historic dimension now.
America may have to take a deep breath and fundamentally reconsider the nature
of its alliances with the likes of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, which both openly proclaimed their intent, in Syria today, to go on aiding the gamut of these
Caliphate forces (ISIS, Al Qaeda and Ahrar al-Sham). Recall that ordinary Syrians have been living Paris' Friday terror on a daily basis, for five years now. It is hard to see how the West can continue its ambiguous game of footsie with
such forces, in the wake of what may have happened in Sinai, in Beirut and Paris. So, what can have prompted this major strategic shift by ISIS? Well, there has always been one
major point of dissent between Al Qaeda and ISIS: Al Qaeda's leadership has said, openly, that it believes that ISIS had erred by proclaiming the Caliphate, the Islamic State. The ISIS proclamation was premature and the conditions were not propitious, Al Qaeda's
leaders stated. Al Qaeda military operations focus on the "vexation and exhaustion" of America
and its Western allies, which would eventually lead to an overextension of Western forces in many ways: morally, militarily, politically and economically.
A reflection of this different approach to ISIS has been Al Qaeda's willingness to work
and cooperate with other insurgent forces in Syria; whereas ISIS rejects cooperation, demanding instead absolute allegiance and obedience.
ISIS opted for the absolute: an all out push to establish God's "Principality" (a Caliphate), here and now, on physical territory, with borders, administration, Sharia law and a system of justice.
The big difference between the two movements in effect, is "territoriality." Al Qaeda is
global, ephemeral and virtual, whereas ISIS is territorial.
It is too early to say that ISIS is collapsing -- but a part of it may be.
But what if ISIS fears to lose this territoriality? Strange things are happening in Syria.
Villages that have been held by ISIS for two years are falling to government forces in hours. The Syrian army or its allies are making everywhere small gains, across contested
areas. It is too early to say that ISIS is collapsing -- but a part of it may be. And if ISIS begins to lose its distinguishing feature -- that it is a territorial power
in Syria and Iraq -- then perhaps its leadership might conclude that Ayman al-
Zawahiri was right: Al Qaeda was right, and ISIS, if it faces losing its territoriality, must adopt Al Qaeda strategies (Al Qaeda has already called for a
united stand with ISIS against the Russian and Iranian interventions in Syria). But what, on the other hand, if this is not a strategic decision by the ISIS leadership, but rather that the bomb on the Russian aircraft and the suicide bombings in Beirut a nd Paris
were spontaneous, copycat attacks by local elements and not conceived, ordered and operationally initiated in Raqqa or Mosul?
In this case, Europe has a different problem -- but one no less serious. In some ways, the

public evidence does not lean towards a Raqqa- led initiative. It leans the other
way. From what we know to date, all of those involved in the Paris attacks were European citizens. In short, it was a case of European on European war. It is not clear that any of the
perpetrators were returnees from the conflict in Syria (the authenticity of the Syrian passport found at the scene has been questioned).
And if there was no direct order from the ISIS command, there is prima facie in
Europe, a shadow Al Qaeda-like structure taking shape: the attacks in Paris were well-planned, prepared and executed. The claims of responsibility are not
definitive: there have been examples where Islamic leaderships have accepted responsibility and claimed an attack even when they did not order it -- and whereby claiming it, severely damaged the movement.
If this is so then not just France, but other European states, too, will need to take a deep breath and wonder how their policies have metamorphosed, from ostensible
multiculturalism, into a "soft apartheid" in which Europe's Muslim citizens feel the discrimination and contempt of many of their fellow citizens. European leaders cannot simply ignore the historic context in which Algerian Muslims (rightly or wrongly) feel
their Sunni world to be in crisis: with Sunnis standing marginalized, with the feeling that Sunni power is being usurped. Or, that an Algerian can say "Je suis aujourd'hui Syrien,"
just as a Briton or any other European may be saying "I am Paris today." Bombing Raqqa will not resolve this -- if indeed, that is what lies behind the Paris bombings. This is not to justify, but rather it is to lament how shy we have become towards clear-
sightedness. Puritan Wahhabism was born at a time of an earlier Muslim crisis. It sought to cleanse Islam by fire and the sword -- from all the decadence and idolatry that had
accrued to it. And today, with European Sunni Muslims in a fresh crisis, it is the same Puritan call which issues out from the mosques of Paris and London, and from many dedicated television stations -- funded by our Saudi and Gulf "allies."
A Look at the Rivalry, and Differences, Between al-Qaida and ISIS

attack Israeli man among 20 killed during Islamist hotel siege in Mali AP - The attack on a Mali hotel claimed by al-Qaida may have been partly aimed at asserting the global terror network's relevance as it faces an unprecedented challenge from
Islamic State for leadership of the global jihadi movement. Both groups are at war with the West and committed to the revival of an Islamic caliphate, but they are furiously divided
over strategy and leadership, and have battled one another in Syria. The attack on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, which killed 19 people, came exactly a week after Islamic State's carnage in Paris, which killed 130 people in the bloodiest attack
on France in decades. The Mali attack, claimed by al-Qaida and a North African outfit known as Al-
Mourabitoun (The Sentinels), may have been aimed at disrupting a fragile peace process with armed groups in the country's north that had made progress in recent months.
But experts also suggested it was aimed at reminding the world that the movement
founded by Osama bin Laden has not been completely eclipsed by ISIS and its self-styled caliphate.

"Al-Qaida and its international affiliates have been surpassed by IS and needed
to show that that they are still there," said Djallil Lounnes, an expert on radical groups in the Sahara who is based in Morocco, referring to Islamic State.
The following is a look at the rivalry between al-Qaida and Islamic State:
ORIGINS; The Islamic State group began as al-Qaida in Iraq, a local affiliate that
battled U.S. troops and carried out massive attacks targeting the country's Shi’ite majority. From the beginning there were tensions between the local group, led by the Jordanian Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi, and al-Qaida's central leadership. In a 2005 letter obtained and publicized by U.S. intelligence, bin Laden's deputy,
Ayman al-Zawahri, objected to al-Zarqawi's brutality toward Shi’ite civilians,
saying it would turn Muslims against the group. Al-Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2006, but to this day is seen as the founder of
Islamic State, which has eagerly embraced his brutal tactics. RUPTURE; In 2013, Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi renamed his
group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, proclaiming his authority in Iraq and
neighboring Syria. Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the Nusra Front, al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate, rejected the move and swore allegiance to al-Zawahri, who ordered al-
Baghdadi to confine his operations to Iraq. Al-Baghdadi refused, and by 2014 the Nusra Front and Islamic State were battling each other across northern Syria. The split reverberated across the Muslim world, with al-Qaida affiliates in Yemen and North Africa
remaining loyal to al-Zawahri while others pledged allegiance to ISIS. DIFFERENCES; Both groups want to end Western influence in the Middle East
and unite Muslims under a transnational caliphate governed by a harsh version of Islamic law. But they are bitterly divided over tactics. Bin Laden believed that attacking the "far enemy" of the United States would weaken its
support for the "near enemy" of Arab autocracies and rally Muslims to overthrow them. Under al-Zawahri, local al-Qaida affiliates have sought to exploit post-Arab Spring chaos
by allying with other insurgents and tribes, and by cultivating local support in places like Syria and Yemen, where they provide social services. For bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in 2011, and his successor al-Zawahri, the establishment of a
caliphate was a vaguely defined end goal. ISIS, on the other hand, began by seizing and holding territory in Syria and Iraq and
spawning affiliates across the chaos-riddled Middle East. It declared a caliphate in the summer of 2014 and al-Baghdadi now claims to be the leader of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims, the overwhelming majority of whom have rejected his brutal tactics.
For Islamic State, al-Qaida is both an anachronism, because the caliphate has a lready been reborn, and a renegade movement, since it has rejected al-Baghdadi's authority. Al-Qaida
supporters dismissively refer to ISIS as "al-Baghdadi's group." COMPETING ON CARNAGE; The assault on Paris was an implicit rebuke of al-
Qaida, which hasn't carried off an attack on that scale in several years. If the Mali attack
turns out to be a response of some kind, it could herald a new era of global competition between the two groups, each seeking to outdo the other with ever more devastating
attacks. : http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/1.687645 Let's Not Turn the West Into a Temple Under Siege

“The Terrorists-R-US”: Mainstream Media Propaganda Fuels and Fans the Flames
of War. By Joachim Hagopian
Global Research, November 24, 2015 American Empire Exposed 23 November 2015 The sad truth is that in the new millennium, government propaganda prepares its citizens
for war so skillfully that it is quite likely that they do not want the truthful, objective and balanced reporting that good war correspondents once did their best to provide. Phillip
Knightley, The First Casualty. Bin Laden with Carter’s National Security Advisor Brzezinzki
Exposing the lies spewing forth from Washington and its MSM ministry of propaganda
these days is a fulltime job entrusted to alternative media to report the deceptively hidden truth. The latest round of developments in the aftermath of last week’s Paris tragedy killing 129 people and injuring over 350 more innocent victims illuminates the
aforementioned problem in article on Saturday headlined, “Pentagon pressing allies for more help against Islamic State.” The question becomes help for or against the Islamic
State?… because the historical facts clearly show the US Empire and its host of allies have only helped Islamic State terrorists ,
never for a moment have they seriously fought against the Islamic State. Bottom
line, this undisputable reality only proves that the US and its unholy partners- in-crime have created both al Qaeda terrorists and
the Islamic State terrorists, including all the so called moderate terrorists Obama claims
to support in between. A brief history lesson shows that al Qaeda
was birthed in the late 1970’s under the guiding tutelage of longtime globalist criminal acting then as President Carter’s National Security
Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Under their original name the Mujahedeen were the US proxy mercenary terrorists (not unlike ISIS) recruited by the CIA to combat the Soviet Empire expansion into Afghanistan and then continue growing and flourishing under the
Reagan-George HW Bush regime throughout the 1980’s. Over many years as former CIA director, VP, president Pappy Bush did lots of
shady war and oil business dealings with the Saudi aristocratic bin Laden family. So it was a natural marriage to enlist young Osama bin Laden, family upstart, to lead the CIA-sponsored band of rebels that helped defeat longtime cold war enemy and empire rival the
Soviet Union. It worked like such a charm in the empire graveyard of Afghanistan, culminating
with the fall of the Soviet Empire in 1991, that under the new name al Qaeda Osama and his proxy terrorists were rehired to help “balkanize” the Balkans, engaging in ethnic cleansing against Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo and smuggling opium onto the West while
assisting in the demolition of the once sovereign nation Yugoslavia into a half dozen weakened failed states under the Bush senior-Clinton regime throughout the 1990’s.
This US notion of “balkanizing” sovereign nations into failed state pieces was echoed by

war criminal globalist Henry Kissinger a couple years ago expressing his desire
to partition Syria into “more or less autonomous regions.” Of course the same can be said for US design on Iraq. As part of its global chessboarddivide and conquer scheme,
it’s been a carnivorously predatory foreign policy staple for the imperialistic Empire of Chaos to systematically carve up, destabilize, weaken and otherwise destroy not only entire independent nations but entire regions like the Middle East and North Africa as
well. As a sidebar note, in recent decades a seamless transition of the powers-that-
shouldn’t-be have flowed from one administration to another, from Bush one to Clinton one back to the Bush two, onto Obama and God help us not be back to Clinton two. That’s because those who control US foreign policy for a long time have also owned and
controlled America’s corrupt two party system. Electing a democrat or republican to office has been the elite’s crafty way of merely granting American voters an illusion of choice
but long before any November election the ruling elite handpicks every presidential two party candidate backing both to ensure that every US president elected is a mere puppet dancing on an oligarch string.
The late 1990’s spawned the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) – the
masterplan for “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” as envisioned by the likes of neocon gangsters Cheney, Bush 2, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld et al. These war criminals plotted the demonic exploits of US Empire well into the twenty-first century, of course including the
redrawing of the Middle East by using WMD lies as pretext for war after staging their “new Pearl Harbor event,” thus with help from their friends Israel and Saudi Arabia, they
created and their al Qaeda terrorists as their hired gun stooges to take the blame for murdering 3000 Americans and establishing their “long” war on terror. Of course also in their sinister plan was the dismantling of the US Constitution and America’s civil liberties.
Tragically the disastrous costly quagmires of both the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars were an integral part of the PNAC plan.
Right after 9/11 General Wesley Clark became privy to the neocon agenda to take down seven sovereign nations within five years in the Middle East and North Africa. But in actuality regime change has long been embedded standard US foreign policy anywhere
in the world where a sovereign country refuses to submit to US Empire’s rape and plunder. Just as Putin and Assad justifiably criticize US global hegemony for its brutal
consequences reserved for those nation-states that openly defy Western imperialism, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah speaking in Beirut a month ago said:
The punitive aspects of US foreign policy are aimed at anyone who refuses to
submit to US domination, which is to say, refuses to become local extensions of the US government (and by implication, of the large oil and weapons companies that dominate it.)
He who takes his own decision on the basis of his country’s interests is unacceptable to the United States. If you doubt the truth of Nasrallah’s words, just ask the former Yugoslavia, or Cuba, Iran,
Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, Syria, Somalia, North Korea, Russia, China, each of them know all too well as targeted US enemies for resisting and cha llenging Empire hegemony. Or
ponder the short list (dozens more attempts were unsuccessful) of fallen leaders from sovereign nations who have been assassinated and/or overthrown by US imperialistic interests: 1953 Iran, 1954 Guatemala, 1950’s Vietnam, 1961 Congo, 1964 Brazil, 1965
Indonesia, 1965 Dominican Republic, 1973 Chile, 1990 to present Haiti, and 2014 Ukraine.

multiple decades on virtually every continent, from MENA to sub-Saharan
Africa to South and Central America to Europe to Central Asia and Pacific Asia. Throughout the modern era, US Empire has been the prime suspect among nations as the
guiltiest perpetrator systematically utilizing false flag propaganda to get away with spreading terrorist murder, mayhem and war to every corner of the globe with total impunity. No other nation, not Russia nor China but only the US is guilty of tampering
and interfering at will with the internal affairs of countless sovereign nations which is a clear violation of international law. Its hypocritical double standard always citing US
exceptionalism can no longer be used as the flimsily justified excuse or self-serving mantra on either moral or legal high ground. Empire’s long run as the sole unipolar superpower-world bully is over and as such, the US should no longer expect to get away
with flagrantly defying and violating every international law from the Geneva Convention to the UN Charter.
After the costly occupation and horrendous war defeats representing the two longest running wars in US history in Iraq and Afghanistan, in September 2014 Obama declared a fake war against ISIS after the terrorists invaded Iraq in June, promising to
“hunt them down.” But instead US military forces were only ordered to pretend to fight a fake enemy when in fact they were actually ordered to defend and protect them with air
supportPilots commonly complain they are not being given clearance to fire upon Islamic State forces.
The ISIS invasion of Iraq was merely
Obama’s excuse to remove the corrupt Iraq puppet leader Maliki in order to reestablish a US
military foothold in Iraq to then go after Assad in Syria, something the world and Putin (who brokered the Assad deal to turn in his chemical
weapons) had denied Obama the year before from carrying out his bogus “red line” lie calling
for airstrikes against Syria when in fact it was Obama’s own ISIS pals themselves that committed the false flag chemical weapons attack on Syrian children.
Despite leading a so called “coalition” of allied forces alleged to have flown more than 20,000 airstrikes over Iraq and Syria against ISIS in the first year alone and stepping up a
relentless inhumane campaign of remote controlled killer drone warfare deployed in over a half dozen MENA nations, ISIS only continues its exponential growth while expanding territorial control throughout the Middle East and far beyond into the northern Caucasus
Central Asia Ukraine, also teaming up with affiliate African terrorist groups Boko Harem in Nigeria and Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Just this week four former drone pilots wrote a
formal letter to Obama pleading their case that the drone attacks have only increased the number of terrorists.
But then that’s precisely the plan. To keep the war on terror going, fresh new ISIS recruits are needed. Hence by 2019 Obama plans to increase drone use by 50%. Clearly Obama’s
diabolical intention is to spread terror around the world. In another disturbing development this week, African terrorists took 170 mostly
Westerners hostage killing 21 of them at the Radisson Hotel in the Mali capital of Bamako. Their ringleader Mokhtar Belmokhtar (image right) happens to be a CIA asset
and the incident came five days after CIA chief John Brennan predicted more acts of

terrorism. Two weeks prior to the Paris attacks Brennan also met with his
French counterpart and former Mossad director and after the Paris incidents admitted to the press that the CIA knew attacks in Europe were coming. If he knows so much, why
does he allow them to keep happening? Perhaps because he’s in cahoots with the terrorists himself. Barack Obama has been chosen by the ruling elite and given the gauntlet to dutifully
undermine and destroy the United States from within in order to implement the New World Order’s one world government. Many Americans including contending presidential
candidate Ben Carson fear and believe that the next major false flag could usher in Obama’s martial law that through his own illegal executive orders have given him unlimited dictatorial powers that include canceling next year’s presidential election,
anointing himself US dictator for life.
Under Obama’s and Brennan’s watch, ISIS has been allowed to extend their operations worldwide, even into America. Our president’s open border policy has enabled terrorist cells to proliferate inside the United States. Back in April this year Judicial Watch
reported that ISIS has partnered with a Mexican drug cartel to participate in joint military exercises at a training camp just eight miles from the El Paso Texas border. Yet Obama
simply denies the terrorist presence and has done nothing but keep his 1500 mile open border policy intact to purposely leave the nation grossly unprotected and criminally
vulnerable, in effect inviting terrorism attacks
on US soil as part of his puppet masters’ plan to destroy America from within.
As recently as Sunday November 22nd, on the 52nd anniversary of the JFK assassination, Obama chose to arrogantly
claim that ISIS “cannot strike a mortal blow” against America.
Of course putting on a false front of self-security for the American public is designed to assuage growing fears that another 9/11 is eminent on US soil. This is the same US president who also made “off the record” remarks
to friends alluding to not wanting to be murdered on the job like Kennedy as his lame excuse for not standing up more for the American people to fight against his evil NWO
handlers. After all, in this diabolical world climate where the US government has devolved into a mere front for a shadowy international crime syndicate owned and operated by the ruling elite, biting the hand that feeds you is signing your own death warrant. Kennedy
was the last US president to learn that lesson the hard way and humanity’s been suffering ever since.
A recent Defense Intelligence Agency document confirms that in 2012 the Obama regime elected to throw its full weight behind the Islamic State terrorists fighting against Assad’s Syrian forces knowing that the Islamic State’s ambitious sectarian agenda was to
create havoc in order to build a radicalized jihadist caliphate throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Yet the Obama neocons willfully bet on ISIS, squandering US taxpayer
dollars to furnish carte blanche heavy weaponry brand new Toyota trucks, continued air support and countless airdrops of arms, ammo, food and medical supplies even after ISIS invaded Iraq in June 2014.
In fact with another 50 ton ammunition airdrop last month, Obama’s still trying to
preserve the ISIS supply line stretching from NATO ally Turkey’s border into northern

Syria even while as of late Putin’s been busily bombing Islamic State’s infrastructure. In
the last several weeks planes from US led allies Canada, Sweden, Germany and the US have all been showing up at the Baghdad airport without authorized approval ostensibly
headed toward the Kurdistan region of Iraq filled with arms. But the big question remains for whom? The Kurds or the IS terrorists? In the meantime, since Russia determined that an Islamic State bomb planted onboard its airliner took it down over the Sinai desert on
Halloween, Russia has vowed to destroy ISIS with a vengeance. Islamic State tanker truck convoys filled with oil are currently the prime targets of Russian bombs.
For three straight years the lying traitors in Washington have been secretly supporting the cancerous spread of Terrorists-R-US expanding far beyond the Middle East and North Africa and deep into Europe with repeated Paris attacks. Creating failed states will travel,
by design US Empire has produced the gargantuan international migration crisis over flooding Europe under the globalist umbrella of multiculturalism. This massive influx of
Muslims into Western nations largely populated by Caucasian majorities now desperate to hang onto their historical and cultural roots and identities is designed to enflame and exploit racial tensions and hatred as part of the elite’s divide and conquer agenda, also
making it conducive for developing yet more terrorist cells dangerously operating throughout the West.
The bare truth is our own treasonous leaders in Washington who all swore to uphold, defend and protect our Constitution and nation from both foreign and domestic enemies, from the president to his justice, state and defense departments to key Congressional
members have plotted the downfall of the United States as a sovereign nation and every last one of them needs to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity with their
arrest and trial for treason against the United States. More Americans are accepting this bitter sad truth that their own government has
not only betrayed us, it is preparing to indefinitely detain and/or kill us without legal
rights, warrants, charges or trails. Before we’re permanently silenced, we as sovereign citizens need to amass our collective will utilizing military, law enforcement and willing
agents within the judicial system who still honor our Constitution to make arrests and hold criminals in our crime cabal government accountable.
Two retired generals, one from the Army and the other from the Air Force,
have taken to the airwaves onTruNews citing a potential constitutional crisis since Obama has failed to protect American citizens by aiding and abetting our terrorist
enemy ISIS that have vowed to launch attacks on US citizens inside America. This could be the legal mechanism that may provide the clout behind removing the treasonous president from office.
This latest AP article portraying the Pentagon’s so called renewed efforts to muster a rallying cry to enlist Western allies’ “help” against ISIS is an insult to humanity as well as
an insult to our intelligence because every day more of us world citizens are catching on as to the sinister truth behind US Empire and the ruling elite pulling its strings.

The call for help is driven by a hope to build on what the Obama administration
sees as the beginnings of battlefield momentum in Iraq and Syria. It may also reflect a sense in the Pentagon that the campaign against the Islamic State group has advanced too
slowly and requires more urgent and decisive military moves. This paragraph is laughable. Commander- in-chief Obama possessing the most lethal killing machine on the planet has had fifteen months to “hunt down the Islamic State
terrorists,” yet has nothing to show but preplanned failure masking his covert success to not destroy ISIS but to only protect them.
Putin taking charge and actually fighting a real war against terrorists has thrown
Obama, Carter and the Pentagon into discombobulated panic. So in retaliation a Russian
plane gets blown up killing all 224 people onboard and then the US-Mossad-French intel community in cahoots with IS terrorists pull off France’s 9/11 in Paris a week ago. And
now Obama plans to capitalize on his sponsored terrorism by gaining some “battlefield momentum” fighting ISIS his secret allies. What a prepos terously unfunny joke! After waging his fake war for over a year, Obama has covertly supported ISIS terrorism
allowing the scourge to extend far beyond the MENA region. The AP post “boldly” points out that the Pentagon may reluctantly be acknowledging its progress against ISIS is “too
slow,” so it’s now asking for urgent help. What a nauseous façade MSM maintains for the MSM-owned ruling elite.
The only thing Obama and the
Pentagon want more help with is removing Assad from power and neutralizing Russia as
the only nation engaged in any real war against terrorism. That oil pipeline running through Syria from Qatar designed to cut off
the flow of Russian oil-gas exports to Europe doubling as the final gateway to get to the
Middle Eastern prize Iran would complete that neocon 7 nation regime change wet dream and that’s really what all this propped
up luster bluster for going after ISIS is about. Fork tongued doublespeak is the only language that the Obama regime speaks, and the Washington neocons are banking on their
Nazi mentor Joseph Goebbels’ misquoted truism: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” The US is calling for urgent military assistance from European allies that also include
Israel, Turkey, oil-rich Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich, thoroughly corrupted Gulf State monarchies that finance, arm and train Islamic State militants. Yet all of these so called
“anti-ISIS” allies either protect or are complicit in allowing anywhere from $1-3 million per day that flow into the Islamic State’s bank accounts stolen from Syrian and Iraqi petro field refineries selling black market oil to nations like Turkey and Jordan. That of course
was before Putin started bombing both refineries and tanker convoys hurting ISIS where it counts the most.
So while the US allies are too busily crying the financial blues to fill the Empire coffers to continue running its fake war against the terrorists, they all co llectively protect, ensure and in some cases patronize ISIS in maintaining and supplying its primary source of revenue
that keeps the largest terrorist group on the planet still operating and growing larger with each passing year. Thankfully Putin’s much needed intentions are changing all that,
something the US and all its allies have refused to do.

After stating the likelihood that Europe’s too hard up for money to help,
the article adds “chances of drawing significant additional help from Arab nations seem even slimmer.” But that’s certainly not because they’re too cash poor like Europe.
Of course no mainstream media outlet would ever dare to admit it, the all too obvious reason that the Arab states refuse to help fight against ISIS is that they are its biggest supporters. As Islamic State financiers, trainers, arm suppliers and
jihadist joiners coming from the same twisted brands of Sunni Wahhabi and Salafist Islam, they are ISIS!
An anonymous senior defense official revealed to AP after Secretary of War Ash Carter met for an hour with his top military advisors and war commanders urging them to take full advantage of the Paris bloodbath while still fresh on the minds of allied leaders. Carter
ordered Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Joseph Dunford, NATO Commander General Philip Breedlove and lead commander “fighting” the Islamic State Lt. General
Sean MacFarland to reach out to UK, Germany, France, I taly and Turkey to seek military support for combat equipment, supplies, trainers, advisors and special operations forces.
It’s worth noting the stark contrast between how the world reacts to terrorism when
it takes place in a Western nation as opposed to the Middle East. A week ago two Islamic State suicide bombers blew themselves up in a Beirut marketplace killing 44 people and
over 200 injured yet in the anguish over Paris it was all but ignored by Western media. Thousands upon thousands of innocent fellow human beings who are Lebanese, Syrian, Libyan, Iraqi, Yemeni and Palestinian are also being slaughtered by terrorists.
They suffer far more carnage on a daily basis than any Westerner but the impact of their terrorism remains largely invisible to the rest of the world. Why? More than anything
else, when bloodshed is spilled by darker skinned mostly Muslim populations in the Middle East or North Africa, their lives hold less value in the minds of the Western world.
Despite millions of innocent victims living in terror (whether at the hands of ISIS,
Israeli apartheid killers, Saudi or US bombs/drones or for that matter Assad or Putin bombs) every day across the Middle East and North Africa, few among us even give it a
second thought. But when young whites in an upscale Paris district are murdered, France is
immediately joined by the US and much of the world in horrified solidarity and support
for both the victims and their grieving nation, followed shortly by a deafening chorus seizing the opportunity to escalate the violence on an epic scale, or at least that’s the latest
rhetoric reflected in Pentagon news delivered to the world by the Associated Press. More double standard hypocrisy manifests in the form of more jingoistic propaganda hype justifying an upcoming multi-nation global sized war
This AP article is nothing more than Empire propaganda promoting the global masses into
blindly accepting the inevitability of World War III. Under the false pretense of going after terrorists, the not so hidden real agenda has been all along to go after emerging giants Russia China as Empire’s biggest threats to its full spectrum dominance and global
hegemony. Western globalists refuse to accept a bipolar, more balanced, sane and stable world where East and West can peaceably co-exist. From the get-go ISIS has been a
required asset to the globalist owned Empire used to maintain its endless war on terror to fulfill its sinister agenda to destabilize and impoverish the entire world. This perpetual war of terror in turn only feeds the Frankenstein monster that Eisenhower warned America
about in his presidential farewell address nearly 55 years ago.

America Created Al-Qaeda and the ISIS Terror Group
By Garikai Chengu Global Research, November 14, 2015 Global Research 19 September
2014 Originally published by GR in September 2014
Much like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) is made-in-the-USA, an instrument of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region.
The fact that the United States has a long and torrid history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history.
The CIA first aligned itself with extremist Islam during the Cold War era. Back then, America saw the world in rather simple terms: on one side, the Soviet Union and Third World nationalism, which America regarded as a Soviet tool; on the
other side, Western nations and militant political Islam, which America considered an ally in the struggle against the Soviet Union.
The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan, General William Odom recently remarked, “by any measure the U.S. has long used terrorism. In 1978-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they
produced, the lawyers said the U.S. would be in violation.” During the 1970′s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier, both to
thwart Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arab masses. The United States also openly supported Sarekat Islam against Sukarno in Indonesia, and supported the Jamaat-e-Islami terror group against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in
Pakistan. Last but certainly not least, there is Al Qaeda. Lest we forget, the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization
during the 1980′s.

Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, told the House of Commons that Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies. Mr. Cook explained that
Al Qaeda, which literally means an abbreviation of “the database” in Arabic, was originally the computer database of the thousands of Islamist extremists, who were trained
by the CIA and funded by the Saudis, in order to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan. America’s relationship with Al Qaeda has always been a love-hate affair. Depending on
whether a particular Al Qaeda terrorist group in a given region furthers American interests or not, the U.S. State Department either funds or aggressively targets that terrorist group.
Even as American foreign policy makers claim to oppose Muslim extremism, they knowingly foment it as a weapon of foreign policy. The Islamic State is its latest weapon that, much like Al Qaeda, is certainly backfiring.
ISIS recently rose to international prominence after its thugs began beheading American journalists. Now the terrorist group controls an area the size of the United Kingdom.
In order to understand why the Islamic State has grown and flourished so quickly, one has to take a look at the organization’s American-backed roots. The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the pre-conditions for radical Sunni groups, like
ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. The U.S.
occupation caused vast unemployment in Sunni areas, by rejecting socialism and closing down factories in the naive hope that the magical hand of the free market would create jobs. Under the new U.S.-backed Shiite regime, working class Sunni’s lost hundreds of
thousands of jobs. Unlike the white Afrikaners in South Africa, who were allowed to keep their wealth after regime change, upper class Sunni’s were systematically dispossessed of
their assets and lost their political influence. Rather than promoting religious integration and unity, American policy in Iraq exacerbated sectarian divisions and created a fertile breading ground for Sunni discontent, from which Al Qaeda in Iraq took root.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) used to have a different name: Al Qaeda in Iraq. After 2010 the group rebranded and refocused its efforts on Syria.

There are essentially three wars being waged in Syria: one between the
government and the rebels, another between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and yet another between America and Russia. It is this third, neo-Cold War battle that made U.S. foreign
policy makers decide to take the risk of arming Islamist rebels in Syria, because Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, is a key Russian ally. Rather embarrassingly, many of these Syrian rebels have now turned out to be ISIS thugs, who are openly brandishing
American-made M16 Assault rifles. America’s Middle East policy revolves around oil and Israel. The invasion of Iraq has
partially satisfied Washington’s thirst for oil, but ongoing air strikes in Syria and economic sanctions on Iran have everything to do with Israel. The goal is to deprive Israel’s neighboring enemies, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Palestine’s Hamas, of crucial
Syrian and Iranian support. ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian
government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran. The last time Iran invaded another nation was in 1738. Since independence in 1776, the U.S. has been engaged in over 53 military invasions and expeditions. Despite what the
Western media’s war cries would have you believe, Iran is clearly not the threat to regional security, Washington is. An Intelligence Report published in 2012, endorsed by
all sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies, confirms that Iran ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Truth is, any Iranian nuclear ambition, real or imagined, is as a result of American hostility towards Iran, and not the other way around.
America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in the Middle East, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured
domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance. By rapidly increasing both government secrecy and surveillance, Mr. Obama’s government is increasing its power to watch its citizens, while diminishing its
citizens’ power to watch their government. Terrorism is an excuse to justify mass surveillance, in preparation for mass revolt.
The so-called “War on Terror” should be seen for what it really is: a pretext for
maintaining a dangerously oversized U.S. military. The two most powerful groups in the
U.S. foreign policy establishment are the Israel lobby, which directs U.S. Middle East policy, and the Military-Industrial-Complex, which profits from the former group’s
actions. Since George W. Bush declared the “War on Terror” in October 2001, it has cost the American taxpayer approximately 6.6 trillion dollars and thousands of fallen sons and daughters; but, the wars have also raked in billions of dollars for Washington’s military
elite. In fact, more than seventy American companies and individuals have won up to
$27 billion in contracts for work in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three years, according to a recent study by the Center for Public Integrity. According to the study, nearly 75 per cent of these private companies had employees or board me mbers, who
either served in, or had close ties to, the executive branch of the Republican and Democratic administrations, members of Congress, or the highest levels of the military.
In 1997, a U.S. Department of Defense report stated, “the data show a stro ng correlation between U.S. involvement abroad and an increase in terrorist attacks against the U.S.” Truth is, the only way America can win the “War On Terror” is if it stops giving terrorists
the motivation and the resources to attack America. Terrorism is the symptom; American imperialism in the Middle East is the cancer. Put simply, the War on Terror is terrorism;
only, it is conducted on a much larger scale by people with jets and missiles.
