The bitter irony continues. While the latest over-the-top ploy to confiscate our guns domestically has the feds sloppily staging yet another mass shooting with no proof anyone died in Orlando - the biggest in US history at that, overseas they can’t seem to give away US guns and arms fast enough to America’s so called enemies. What’s up with that?
In the latest “we can’t find our weapons” saga, this time
it’s the CIA’s turn to embarrassingly admit that a 2013 secret arms deal with
our Middle East buddy Saudi Arabia that goes by the code name Timber
Sycamore has gone awry the last three years. It seems that millions of
dollars’ worth of lethal weapons that were supposed to end up in possession of those
“moderate Syrian rebels,” you know the “good guy” terrorists fighting ISIS [and
Assad] in Syria, were “misplaced” onto the black market by way of Jordanian intelligence
officers in charge of delivering the goods who covertly support
the Sunni Islamic State terrorists. In another episode of Fast and Furious
Part Two, US supplied guns were once again used to kill Americans. Government
officials this week admitted that those same missing weapons are believed to
have been used last November to kill two Americans and three others at a police
training facility in Amman, Jordan. It’s déjà vu all over again for the
sandal-ridden Obama administration, reminiscent of ATF’s clandestine Fast
and Furious operation’s infamously trafficking 2,000 guns to the Mexican
drug cartel that later murdered an American Border Patrol agent and scores of
innocent Mexican civilians.
The US government seems cluelessly inept at being able to either
convincingly pull off a false flag or keep track of its vast amount of lethal
weapons going abroad only to wind up in the wrong
hands murdering Americans. This article will include a capsulized nutshell
presenting Washington’s rather long and dubious history of such disastrous folly.
It will illuminate the catastrophic consequences caused by either US gross
incompetence or by maleficent grand design that either way in large part has
led to the latest arms race currently responsible for making our planet more
armed and dangerous than any previous time in human history.
This latest scam is alleged to involve a Jordanian
lieutenant colonel as the gun smuggling kingpin regularly siphoning off guns from
US shipments as they arrived in Jordan since 2013, delivering only a portion to
designated drop off points to US backed “moderate” rebels fighting in Syria,
while secretly selling off the rest to a thriving black market that in turn
sold to ISIS and other so called “bad” terrorists. His cadre of corrupt
Jordanian officers were getting rich off their gun smuggling operation buying expensive
items like SUV’s, iPhones and all the latest hi-tech toys, while unloading
thousands of US made rocket grenade launchers,
mortars, Kalashnikov automatic weapons and small arms for the right price
to various terrorists and militants at the local arms bizarre.
This week’s breaking scandal involving the CIA program
funded out of the deep pocketed “discretionary budget” follows just months on
the heels of last year’s Congressional approved Pentagon
bust costing taxpayers a half billion dollars in a failed training program
of so called moderate rebels. The ambitious plan to train 5,400 soldiers fell
drastically short by 5,340. Then out of those few dozen who did complete the
training, all either ran away under the first fire they received, giving up
their US supplied equipment to al Qaeda or jumping ranks over to the ISIS/al
Nusra side, leaving a paltry four or five fighters when all was said and done.
Less than six months later the Pentagon’s at it again, training
“dozens” more in yet another program carrying out the US military motto, if
you don’t succeed the first time (as in the first counterinsurgency war defeat
in Southeast Asia), you keep trying and failing again (Afghanistan), and again
(Iraq) and again in Syria.
After Putin joined the real fight to destroy the Islamic State
terrorists in Syria, and in the face of the failed US training effort, last
October sending Obama and his Pentagon reeling and shifting the US objective to
supplying “moderate” rebels with arms, airdropping
50 tons of small arms ammo and grenades to rebels on the ground in northern
Syria, ostensibly to fight against ISIS. Considering the fact that the US
created and has supported ISIS terrorists consistently for the last several
years, then suddenly last fall in reaction to Putin’s intervention in Syria, we’re
now supposed to believe the US changed both its own combat mission and the
strategic objective for all its US backed rebel factions classified under the
so called Syrian Arab Coalition to actually start shooting at ISIS? So they go
from one day previously fighting alongside and supporting ISIS as allies
opposing their common enemy the Assad forces, to the very next day doing an
abrupt about-face and begin killing ISIS. That supposition remains extremely
doubtful and suspicious, particularly since the only real US mission for many
years in Syria had been to use ISIS and every other group available to oust the
Assad government. More evidence of the feds’ disingenuous efforts to destroy
ISIS was their refusal
to join forces with Putin who was actually destroying them.
The Russians aren’t buying it as they continue conducting
air strikes against both ISIS as well as the neocons’ so called moderate
rebels. Even former US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford admits the
so called moderate groups US is backing are so closely aligned with al Nusra
and ISIS, a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. Russia defines terrorists
by their actions, if they commit acts of terror, regardless of name, they’re
considered terrorists.
Keep in mind that it was not just Islamic State jihadists
who were committing atrocities on civilian populations. From 2012 to 2014 the
US backed Syrian Free Army and various other US supported al Qaeda affiliates
equipped with US arms were regularly engaging in ethnic and religious
purging of thousands of Christians in both Syria and Iraq. And let us not
forget that it was the US backed rebels in August 2013 that used Saudi supplied
chemical
weapons on the civilians in the Damascus suburb Ghouta that Obama attempted
to use as his false flag to launch air strikes in Syria and potentially trigger
world war with Russian and Chinese warships poised at the ready to defend their
Syrian ally.
Of course for nearly a half century the Bush-Clinton-Obama
regimes created and have been covertly supporting
al Qaeda, ISIS and al Nusra terrorism in both the Middle East and around
the world, from 9/11
to Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels to Chattanooga, San Bernardino and
Orlando. Under the neocon
regime change policy any and all mercenary jihadist thugs in the region,
regardless of their deplorable human rights record, committed to getting rid of
Syrian president Assad have been faithfully rewarded with a constant supply of
made-in-USA weaponry.
As long as a nation’s leader professes to be against any
group or nation on US Empire’s shit list, be it Russia, China, Iran, Lebanon’s
Hezbollah, Palestinian Hamas, Libya, Yemen, Syria, it’s carte blanche from the
biggest arms peddler in the world. This strategy’s been around a long time.
Back in the cold war era, all you had to do was claim that you hated Communists
and Washington was instantly your generous friend. Generally it’s simply
sharing the same common enemy that gets rewarded with US weapons. Or in the
case of Israel, it’s not only sharing common enemies, it’s sharing an identical
foreign policy. Hence, the already obscene US tax paid military aid to Israel
will likely be going up from just over $3 billion to $4
billion each year starting in 2018. Rewarding the apartheid butcher of
Palestinians with the biggest military aid package in US history again at
struggling US taxpayers’ expense is an abomination of decency and good sense.
And since this article’s about US arms ending up in the wrong hands, it’s one
more shameful fact. In the Middle East and North Africa, Western imperialism
and the Greater
Israel Project have for many decades been stoking the fire, utilizing the old
divide and conquered Sunni vs. Shia conflict for maintaining the status quo of US-Israel
full spectrum dominance.
Especially in the last few years Washington’s pro-Israel neocons
have put their money (actually our money) on Wahhabi extremist Sunnis from
Saudi Arabia and other corrupt, oil rich monarchy Gulf States like Qatar and
United Arab Emirates, generally backing nations with a
Sunni majority forever committed to opposing nations like Iran and Iraq
where a Shia majority make up the population, including nations with a sizeable
near or half Shia population like Yemen and Lebanon. Syria’s Assad is an
Alawite, a Shia subgroup minority that’s long been in the Empire’s regime
change crosshairs. A strategic pattern has long been in place for preserving
the US-Israel hegemonic stranglehold over the entire region by keeping Arab
nations weak, divided and constantly fighting amongst themselves,
thoroughly exploiting sectarian conflict and violence between the Middle East’s
Shia minority and Sunni majority, especially where none existed before.
In fact every secular nation in the Middle East and North
Africa where historically peaceful relations prevailed between various Islamic
factions – Iraq
under Saddam, Libya
under Muammar and Syria
under Assad, all have come under direct attack by US Empire-NATO led
military bombing campaigns, invasions, protracted war occupations and/or proxy
wars carried out by US allied terrorists.
And then wherever US-Israel-Saudi puppet dictators are overthrown and
replaced as in Yemen last year by a Shia Houthi government holding a far stronger
legitimate claim to represent the Yemeni people, yet another illegal proxy
war erupts with the Saudi Sunni led coalition perpetrating crimes against
humanity with relentless Saudi and Israeli air
strikes, a UN arms embargo
sanctioning 1,200 Gulf State bombings of Yemeni civilians in its first year of
war, and a ground force invasion by more ISIS-al
Qaeda terrorists, Gulf State mercenaries and as of May US boots on
the ground with 200 Marines and 100 Army Rangers.
And of course it was only last year that the US
Pentagon confessed that more than a half billion dollars in US military aid
meant for the US backed Hadi dictatorship ended up in the hands of the neocon
enemy the Houthis that had just overrun the corrupt puppet government capital
in February.
Then there was that other “hidden” Hillary-Obama gun
slinging operation that resulted in four Americans dying in Benghazi on another
9/11. The treasure trove of looted gold, silver and the enormous weapons cache
belonging to deposed Libyan leader Gaddafi for running a too prosperous,
secular nation that was in process of uniting Africa behind his Gold Dinar
defying the central banking monopoly’s US dollar as standard currency was at
the heart of the West’s intervention and Benghazi operation. A declassified
Hillary email earlier this year proved what we already knew – Gaddafi was
murdered because he rocked the boat of the central banking system. The murdered
Ambassador Christopher Stevens had been deployed away from the Tripoli embassy
to the remote unprotected eastern Benghazi
compound by his boss Hillary (despite repeated Stevens’ requests for
increased security) to be the front man supervising the highly illegal weapons
trade smuggling Gaddafi’s arsenal from the port of Benghazi to Turkey and onto
the Syrian battlefield to wage their proxy war against Assad forces. That
illicit 2012 operation took place within days after Obama defied his Defense
Intelligence Agency’s warning about the risk of backing an Islamic
caliphate terrorist group (later named ISIS) as the latest mutated terrorist US
proxy ally deployed against Assad.
Unfortunately the typical whitewash came out on Tuesday this
week with Benghazi Committee’s
800-page final report. It fails to even mention the pink elephant in the
scandalous Benghazi room that I wrote about over two years ago. Hillary’s State
Department was providing the cover to smuggle Gaddafi’s stolen
weapons to Syria. The only news was no news - nobody in Washington bothered
to order any military
assistance to intervene despite several available options in Djibouti,
Sicily and Croatia. AFRICOM commander General Hamm had alerted all US forces in
the region on standby awaiting the order that apparently never came. Despite
eyewitness testimony from CIA contractors in the nearby annex insisting Hillary
explicitly gave a stand down order, the Benghazi report omits any mention
of that. As usual like her severe breach of security emails and the Clinton
trail of nonstop criminal scandals, it appears that the illegal nature of this
Hillary-Obama-Petraeus scheme will also go unpunished, once again reflecting
the morally corrupted system that continues protecting the terrorists behind
the terrorists.
As if the horrendous track record for US
weapons of mass destruction slipping into enemy hands isn’t irresponsibly
hazardous enough, Obama’s
Export Control Reform Initiative rolled out in October 2013 has only made the
likelihood that ISIS, other terrorist groups and rogue nations seizing control
over devastating nuclear bombs and wide array of other WMD’s that much
stronger. It
created a bureaucratic loophole that facilitates three dozen “friendly” nation
allies like Saudi Arabia to not need specific licenses to purchase arms. And we know now that the US and so called
allies like Saudi Arabia and Turkey are the biggest Middle East supporters
(along with Israel) of Islamic State terrorism.
The current risk of WMD’s falling into the
wrong hands doesn’t include the 32 older atom bombs lost during the cold war period from 1950-1980 when US bombers carrying
nuclear bombs went down in crashes… like the one lost in the Arctic ice of
Greenland in 1968, or the 1966 bomber accident that radiated the now seacoast resort
of Palomares, Spain, or the atom bomb sitting underwater 12 miles off the
Savannah, Georgia coastline after a bomber collided midair with a fighter jet,
or the more than a dozen laying on the ocean floor of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. But the more than a dozen “broken
arrow” land sites pose far more danger of eventual detonation.
In recent years we also know there have been
numerous incidents of nuclear warheads and enriched uranium suddenly gone
missing to unknown whereabouts. After the Islamic State terrorists overran
Iraq’s second largest city Mosul a couple years ago, they stole over 40 kg of uranium compounds stored at the University of Mosul. In another
incident in southern Iraq, radioactive material stolen last November from an American oilfield
services company was found three months later nine miles away. It’s now well documented how Israel smuggled anywhere from a ton to
three tons of enriched uranium from the small town Pennsylvania Apollo plant in
1965 to covertly develop its nuclear arsenal, leaving the town’s residents to
this day dying early deaths from radioactive exposure. In 2013 UK’s health and
safety authorities revealed at least 30 incidents of lost or stolen radioactive material over the preceding
decade, and that’s just in UK. The number worldwide that fail to ever get
reported must be off the charts.
Just to gain a perspective on the global scale
of missing nuclear and radioactive material reported to the Incident and
Trafficking Database (ITDB) during the years it’s been tracking from 1993
through 2015, 2,889 incidents were reported within the 131 nations participating. Of
these, 454 involved unauthorized possession and related activities, 762
involved theft or loss and 1,622 involved “other” unauthorized activities.
Three cases of stolen highly enriched uranium and three cases involved theft of
plutonium neutron sources were reported, some involving attempts to sell and
transport across international borders. These numbers demonstrate the very real
danger that in the wrong hands a catastrophic outcome is possible if not
probable. And again, these are only the reported cases. Add nuclear accidents
to the mix like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima and odds for even worst
disasters in the future increase as the 442 power plants currently
operating in the world reach their 30-year lifespan limit.
During both the Bush and Obama administrations
unauthorized movement of nuclear warheads were uncovered. An incident in 2013
without any paperwork involved a transfer from a Texas military base by truck to Charleston, South Carolina. The fact that this was discovered at the
height of Obama’s Syrian chemical weapons false flag crisis in early September
on the same day that South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham warned that
Charleston could be nuked at any time should raise high suspicion. The
Cheney-Bush 2007 incident was a secret, off-the-books decision most likely made
by Cheney to move six armed warheads from a base in North Dakota to Louisiana during another neocon call for “bombs over
Iran.” One warhead
along the way was never accounted for. And these are the ones that were leaked
to the public. “Mysterious” deaths began surfacing of military personnel
directly involved in the 2007 incident. How many other secret exchanges have
there been that are still tightly under wraps?
To add credence to the probability that Obama
is purposefully allowing lethal weapons to find their way into the wrong hands
to further undermine and destroy America’s national security, noted retired General Paul E. Vallely has this to say:
Obama is intentionally weakening and
gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing the U.S. as a superpower, and
anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.
The more than 200 generals and admirals fired
by this commander-in-chief is unprecedented.
With nearly 8-years of Obama’s wide open border
policy, given the task by his globalist puppet masters to take down America, the
Manchurian president has treasonously made it that much easier. It seems only a
matter of time before WMD’s come home to roost on a large American city or two.
According to a former head of the British Army’s Chemical, Biological,
Radiological and Nuclear regiment, Islamic State will
“inevitably” construct or acquire
weapons of mass destruction and the question is not if but when.
Looking at the bigger picture, just three years ago the US
war making industry sold three
quarters of the world’s arms - $66.3 billion worth, dwarfing Russia as the
#2 weapons peddler at just $4.8 billion. And that $66.3 billion in 2013 jumped
from just $21.4 billion in US arms sales in 2010. Compound that with the rise
in Empire aggression and its insistence on unipolar power throughout the world
and, as a consequence, Russia’s been driven to step up and compete with the US,
increasing its share of arms sales
to one quarter of the world market just in the last half decade (2011-2015)
alone, lowering in just two years the US share from supplying ¾ to just one
third of the total market despite a 27% increase in US sales. Under the Obama
regime US arms sales have skyrocketed worldwide, ushering in the biggest arms
race in human history. By far the biggest arms buyers have recently been Asian
countries where US pivot and China asserting its regional power have increased
tensions and high risk confrontation.
With the US unilaterally declaring
Russia and China as renewed cold war enemies, for their own survival, those
two nations have defensively tried matching America’s lust for war making power
and destruction. And as a direct result of Empire’s growing threat and global
aggression in recent years, both China and Russia’s military budgets have
soared. China in the last decade has increased its military spending
by a whopping 132% while Russia by 91%. Perhaps most disturbing of all is,
as of last year the US allied rogue state that’s presently committing war
crimes in Yemen - Saudi Arabia - actually surpassed Russia’s budget becoming
the world’s third largest military spender with an increase of 97% in the last
ten years.
The US Empire’s war machine has been responsible for so much
damage around the world. But nowhere is it more apparent than in Iraq where war
after war after war in every decade since 1980 has left it a toxic waste dump
between the depleted uranium, white phosphorus and wasteland rubble. In recent
years it’s come to light that old cyanide canisters of outlawed
US chemical weapons supplied to Iraq three decades ago still lay in old
bunkers on turf taken over and now controlled by ISIS. Back in 1983 Reagan sent
Rumsfeld to meet with Saddam to arrange
the sale of various US biological warfare viruses like anthrax and bubonic
plague as well as US chemical weapons. And this occurred when Iran was gaining
the military edge after Reagan the year before had made
a US arms deal with Iran, once again deploying the go-to formula of divide
and conquer. Also just like with Kuwait a decade later, the US gave Saddam
Hussein more US weapons and the greenlight
to invade enemy Iran in another US proxy war that lasted eight long bloody
years killing a million more Muslims.
In Libya after the 2011 NATO bombing, the US-NATO gave its
blessings to al Qaeda militants to do its proxy war bidding to track down and
murder Gaddafi who possessed 20,000 portable shoulder
held missiles capable of shooting down airplanes. Thousands may still be in
ISIS and other local militants’ possession. Others have surfaced in Mali,
Nigeria, Syria and Sinai. With the missiles small enough to easily be smuggled,
high risk that they can still be used to shoot down military or commercial
aircraft flying over Africa and Europe remain. In fact, in January 2014 an ISIS
affiliated group used one of these shoulder missiles to take down a helicopter
in Egypt and then last October the same ISIS group is believed to have planted
the bomb on the Russian airliner killing all 224 Russians on board over the Sinai
desert. In a related account, two beltway attorneys with alleged Benghazi
witness intelligence contacts claim that 400
US surface-to-air missiles that are also used to take down planes were
stolen during the Benghazi compound attack. This seems plausible since Hillary
and Obama at the time were trafficking weapons from Benghazi to the Syrian
civil war.
Other air and sea shipments of weapons to Libya in 2011 from
US Gulf State allies Qatar and United Arab Emirates, both known to be fervent
ISIS supporters and financiers, were sent to Islamic militants with
Obama’s blessing. Though government officials deny that they were US made,
an American arms dealer was permitted license to sell to Qatar. In all
likelihood, it was a similar scenario as the latest embarrassing headline over
“misdirected” weapons in Jordan.
When the US government attempts to detach itself by using
Gulf State allies as middlemen, it hardly hides the fact that the US
supplies Islamic terrorists with weapons since Osama’s mujahedeen days of
1980’s Afghanistan. Through CIA, Pentagon and State Department connections, US arms,
ammo, combat equipment, money, food, medicine as well as advisors have all been
covertly given to al Qaeda, ISIS and a host of other smaller local terrorist
militants for a near half century. Washington’s two biggest Middle Eastern
Islamic players - Saudi Arabia
and Turkey – have been the neocons’ primary suppliers of support to the
terrorists. Americans need to ultimately accept the dirty truth, that neocon traitors
operating inside the US government have betrayed them, sponsoring terrorism and
wars around the world, including terrorism on
US soil.
That’s why the October 2014 airdrop in Syria that caught a burst
of wind to end up in ISIS’ grubby hands was no accident or anomaly as the Washington Post claimed. The Pentagon
spokesman even covered his ass insisting that the airdrop supplies were
immediately destroyed by a US air strike once it was determined that it failed
to reach its intended ground force target the Kurds near Kobane. The US could
lie and claim an accident once but four months later when Iraqi security forces
shot
down a US Apache helicopter caught red-handed delivering weapons and
foodstuffs to the Islamic State jihadists, the wind gust excuse was no longer
an option. Several weeks later wiretapped
ISIS communications again confirmed that US was supplying the enemy
terrorists in Iraq with food and weapons. To observers on the ground in Iraq,
it was more than obvious whose side the US was/is on. A month before the
helicopter intercept, an Iraqi parliament member stated emphatically:
The international coalition is only an excuse for protecting
the ISIL and helping the terrorist group with equipment and weapons.
The US led coalition… is not serious fighting against ISIL
organization, because they have the technological power to determine the
presence of ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one month.
Less than a year later Putin in Syria was demonstrating the
veracity of the above statement by actually deploying real air strikes to destroy
ISIS, its pirated oil as its primary funding source and in well less than a month
40%
of the terrorist infrastructure.
Among the most infamously iconic and humiliating moments in
recent history for the US has to be that endless Islamic State caravan of brand
new US furnished Toyota trucks driving southward across the Iraq desert towards
Mosul
in June 2014. Iraqi forces suddenly abandoned their stations in Mosul
including all their US issued weapons, vehicles and equipment and simply ran
away. One fourth of the Iraqi fighting force evaporated into thin air just like
that, which raises suspicion in and of itself. But then Obama pretended that
his CIA intelligence was completely caught off guard and never
saw ISIS coming. Bullshit.
After Iraqi President Maliki had banned a US military
presence in Iraq as soon as the final American troops departed in December
2011, the US was looking for an excuse to reestablish its foothold in the
country and get
rid of floundering Maliki who as a Shiite had played out his part promoting
a sectarian civil war. So the terrorists were allowed to invade Iraq to
accomplish US objectives. The ISIS invasion also allowed Obama a backdoor into
Syria with launching airstrikes that just a year earlier he couldn’t do. We now
know that Obama two years earlier had chosen ISIS as the new and improved
bogeyman to replace al Qaeda as his number one proxy war ally. Obama
disregarded the risk of backing a jihadist caliphate and selected
ISIS in his obsessive quest to rid Assad from power in Syria. The stage was
set for faked ISIS
weekly beheadings posted on YouTube to shock and awe the “civilized” world
and ensure the neocons’ endless war on terror remains endless.
Many mainstream outlets explain how ISIS became so well
supplied through two sources. US antitank weapons, armored personnel carriers,
rockets, Toyota trucks, Humvees, assault rifles, antiaircraft artillery and
helicopters were said to be acquired through acquisition
from the “moderate” rebels in Syria. After all, the US and Saudi Arabia had
been providing for them since 2011. So somehow all these weapons simply got
handed over to ISIS at some point prior to the June Islamic State invasion of
Iraq. And then of course the Iraqi army gifted yet another treasure trove of
war materials when they deserted the city of Mosul. This is simply the cover story
to conceal the fact that Obama and the Saudis had been supplying
heavy weapons to the same militant jihadists since 2012 that later became
known as ISIS. Inasmuch as many of the “moderate” terrorists work hand in hand
with the IS extremist terrorists as allied partners, kind of like the US and
Israel, and since many rebels did join the Wahhabi brand of terrorist ranks,
some of the US-Saudi weapons did get incorporated that way. But the US and Gulf
State terrorist allies had been regularly sending weapons to terrorists in
Syria since 2012. The massive amount of armaments didn’t just by pure accident
mysteriously fall into enemy hands as MSM prefers to allude.
Speaking of MSM, Washington and its ministry of propaganda constantly
play a pretend game, like when Obama’s gave his infamous September speech vowing
“to
hunt down” every last ISIS terrorist to root them out… and then proceeded
to lead the coalition
in his fake war that only allowed ISIS to gain both in strength and
controlled territory in Syria, Iraq and beyond. That is, until September 30th
last year when the real antiterrorist Putin stood up and exposed
Obama as a fraud.
Of course a super long history of US weapons ending up in enemy
hands goes back to the early years in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2004
and 2007 under General David Petraeus’ command in charge of training Iraqi
forces, 30% of
all the weapons and equipment the US supplied to Iraqi forces could never
be accounted for. It’s the same old song. Plenty of corruption and incompetence
to go around, both in the
US military command as well as the Iraqi forces allowing 190,000 assault
rifles and pistols to disappear, most of which were sold or given to insurgents
used to kill Americans. The rate of unaccountable weapons and supplies in Afghanistan
was even worse – 40%. This exasperating scenario has been repeated in every
long counterinsurgency war the US has ever fought and lost since Vietnam.
This same insane pattern keeps repeating itself everywhere
the imperialistic Empire of Chaos and Destruction uninvitingly intrudes. As yet
another case in point, half
the weapons the US gave to Burundi and Uganda to fight al Qaeda affiliated
terrorists went straight from the corrupt governments to better armed Somali terrorists
in al-Shabaab. And now the most dominant West African terrorist organization in
Nigeria Boko Haram that’s already created an alliance
with ISIS is enticing al-Shabaab in East Africa to follow suit. The
worldwide terrorist network spreads. Cash-strapped African countries neither
have the political will nor strength to effectively combat terrorism,
especially when it’s financed by CIA, MI6 and Mossad.
As long as the US supports corrupt despotic dictators and
governments around the world that fail to gain the popular support of their
people, leaders will continue to be bought by imperialistic interests and allow
their citizens and nations to be raped and pillaged. Rival groups vying for
power will invariably emerge from the leadership vacuum to challenge the status
quo authority and often enough through coercion and intimidation, by default generate
support. And if they succeed in toppling one oppressive government, it
automatically becomes same as the old boss. As America moves from one election
to the next within its own corrupt two-party Democrat-Republican system, it’s
also “same as the old boss.”
When a sovereign nation is violated posing zero threat to an
outside invading force that violently occupies it for years at a time,
attempting to feebly support a puppet government that permits the occupied
nation to be plundered by imperialistic occupiers, insurgents acting as freedom
fighters will naturally resist the invader and oppose both the puppet government
and occupying force. In other words, when the US is clearly the aggressor and
wipes out hundreds of thousands if not millions of innocent civilians, as it
has in Afghanistan and Iraq, any and all counterinsurgency wars that the US
causes and fights will be lost 100% of the time. And the same goes for Obama’s
sneaky Special Ops wars invisibly being fought in over 134 nations - out of
sight and out of mind from an uninformed US public.
But the Pentagon morons who never learn from history may
actually delude themselves into believing wars fought this way since Vietnam
with far superior firepower and hi-tech advantage can still be won. But the
morons controlling US foreign policy, the neocons of this century, already know
that a military victory is impossible. Hence, they never start wars
they plan to win. By design the US and Israeli foreign policy, again one
and the same, is to destabilize the entire world, preferably using proxy war
jihadists like al Qaeda and ISIS to do their dirty bidding. And the ruling
elite that are the bankers of Wall Street that own all the largest monopolizing
transnational corporations including the mammoth, always growing like a cancer
- military-security-industrial complex manipulates both government and the
mega-media propaganda machine to manufacture enemies and wars at will. The
nations ravaged by bankers’ wars end up failed states, destroyed so that
parasitic oil companies, mining companies and IMF loans can extract and steal
whatever valued natural resources are left to be exploited for maximum profit.
Washington’s neocon madness spurring on the unprecedented
global militarization is now endangering our planet like never before. Their push
for war also extends to a renewed
nuclear arms race in addition to “advancing” both conventional and
unconventional means of warfare. In the high tech Artificial
Intelligence realm, software logarithms are now making instantaneous
decisions on the battlefield based on real time changing on-the-ground circumstances.
When the most acclaimed scientist of modern times. Stephen
Hawking fears, “the development
of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” it just
might be worth our attention. He says that military use of AI will
backfire on humanity when the machines’ goals diverge from human goals as the
computer Hal in Kubrick’s classic “2001 Space Odyssey” turned against his
master. The ultimate US weapon ending up in the wrong hands might just be
Artificial Intelligence.
Yet that’s never stopped America from harnessing mad
scientist brainpower, starting with providing safe and secure passage and
employment to post-WWII Nazis, then ever since misusing technological
“progress” for the most egregiously destructive “black ops” applications that
we can’t even imagine. To answer the question of why the US keeps having its
destructive weapons fall into enemy hands, it’s probably a combination of foolish
arrogance, pure stupidity, permeated by malevolent design. Meanwhile, the American
Empire continues leading humanity rapidly down the doomsday rabbit hole. And so
it goes, if we continue sitting back assuming we’re too powerless to change
this collision course, the ruling elite has us right where it wants us. On the
other hand, if enough of us embrace both life and the truth, perhaps we can
reach the tipping point of critical mass and turn the tide against those
wanting us dead.
