COMMENTS POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER
"Perfect Timing:
Islamic State Vows to Destroy Iran For ‘Protecting’ Jews’”
Well, it just doesn't get much clearer than that. In fact,
it is almost comic in its clarity, resembling a feeble script written somewhere
in the bowels of Mossad by junior publicity officers.
ISIS never, never attacks Israel or Israeli interests or
even individual Israelis. There is nothing about ISIS threatening to Israel but
the odd cheap slogan.
It always, always fights against governments Israel hates,
as in Syria or in Iraq. Almost as if on command.
Now, the country Israel hates most of all, Iran, is said to
be added to the list, with that asinine nonsense about the sin of "protecting
Jews." Why does Israel hate Iran so much? Because Iran is the only
remaining competitor for the role of dominant state in the region. Israel wants
it all, and the Pentagon and CIA happen to agree that America’s nasty little colony
should have it all.
Israel has always been a key player in covertly supporting
ISIS and other cutthroat outfits like Al-Nusra.
What we have here is good old-fashioned American imperialism
working covertly, hand-in-glove, with its Middle East colony, otherwise known
as Israel.

Response to another
reader’s comment about Putin’s description of ISIS as mercenaries going for the
highest pay:
Yes, as Putin has said, they are mercenaries. The US knows
it is always possible to collect rag-tag armies of such people, give them a bit
of help and arms and set them loose on some place you want to destroy. The
world is full of young men with poor job prospects in their homelands and who
are attracted to paid violence and the opportunity to excel in some way, if
only in killing and raping. All you have to do is round up some of them under a
phony advertising name, suggesting a cause such as Muslim militancy.
The “help” you give them gets a bit complex here, as with
money from Saudi Arabia and Oman, armaments from Israel, Britain, US, and
France, medical services from Israel, and air support from the US, Britain, and
France.
When so-called terrorists strike back at parts of Europe, as
we see occasionally in huge press events, they are not in fact ISIS or Al-Nusra,
the people who have always been, in one way or another, supported by America,
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Britain, and others. That phony claim of responsibility only
reinforces the public support for the dirty war which got everything going in
the first, the war against legitimate governments like that of Syria.
The attackers in Europe are really desperate men from some
of the very places under attack, and they are trying to strike a blow against
states they know are involved in the destruction of their homes, as France or
Britain, places like the US being much too hard to reach effectively.
This entire stage play with ISIS and Al-Nusra and other
murderous bands surely represents one of the most complex and insidious covert
operations we've ever seen. I am sure people in the State Department and CIA
spent many long hours years ago working it all out.
How do we destroy Syria without sending American troops in
for another illegal invasion like the one in Iraq, illegal invasions having
many undesirable consequences including huge amounts of public disapproval and
dirtying your carefully-groomed public image with the clear public perception
of your being an aggressor nation?
Same for Israel. It could have handled all or much of this
alone, but it is already seen, and justly, as a pariah nation by much of the planet.
How neat to get all the dirt you want done carried out in this fashion.
American troops dying in any large numbers, even though they
are not conscripts as in Vietnam but well-paid mercenaries themselves, is still
not politically acceptable in America. That’s why the “shock and awe” and
unbelievably overwhelming force used in Iraq, to pulverize the “enemy” and to
prevent really large numbers of coffins coming home. Its aggressive war on the
cheap, as it were.
That’s why Afghanistan was done with massive bombing
supporting the cutthroats of the Northern Alliance doing much of the fighting
on the ground against their old opposition, the Taleban.
That’s why the phony imposition of a no-fly zone in Libya
while rag-tag forces you’ve recruited and supplied, quite likely helped by
American special forces covertly seeded in, fight a government totally pinned
down by American planes. Of course, that situation quickly morphs into one
where the US air forces simply start massive bombing and strafing, effectively
an open invasion but from the skies, supposedly excused by violations of a
harmless-sounding “no-fly zone.”
That is what the US wanted to do in Syria, too, with Obama’s
phony “crossing a red line” talk over sporadic use of chemical weapons,
sporadic use exclusively by America’s own paid goons but attributed to the
government, using material likely forwarded by team Hillary from Gaddafi’s
captured supplies in Libya to create an excuse for direct American air intervention.
It is all a huge, dirty game to keep the public confused while getting what you
want with extreme violence in other lands.
Does the US ever really bomb ISIS? Yes, there are times and
places, as at Mosul now, when it views its former servants as inconvenient and disposable.
Who cares about such human trash? is the American attitude. Use them while they
are useful, and kill them off where they've started getting in the way for one
reason or another. After all, gangs of armed thugs do get tempted to stray from
the script, or we find external circumstances change enough to warrant
dispatching them.
The deadly cynicism is what you would expect from well-paid
teams of bright psychopathic personalities deliberately hired by CIA for its operations
branch, a branch which amounts to a large covert army free to fight under no
rules or international laws, one which has access to virtually limitless funds.
The operations branch, the real reason for the CIA’s existence as it provides bones
and sinews for expanding America’s international empire. This is opposed to the
CIA’s information-gathering branch, something which serves almost as window
dressing for public consumption over the decades. After all, gathering information
is good, isn’t it? And intelligence is what the organization’s name has in it,
isn’t it? The dark destructive stuff, well that stays deep in the shadows.
This all serves multiple objectives. In the West, the stuff
about horrible terrorists keeps getting reinforced, scaring people and getting
them to keep supporting more military spending, more covert operations abroad,
and more intrusions by outfits like CIA, NSA, and FBI into their own rights and
freedoms in the name of fighting "terror."
Actually, all the while, a mass grave is being
surreptitiously dug, a grave for what people were used to regarding as “inalienable
rights.” America’s power establishment, in its pursuit of total world
domination, has little use for such niceties, but it is not politically
acceptable to say so. I’m sure there are many nasty smirks and chuckles in
places like Langley, Virginia, when speeches are heard about America’s
traditional rights, as by naïve idealistic politicians like Bernie Sanders or naïve
leaders of rights organizations. Powerful bullies, of course, do not have a lot
of tolerance for “bleeding hearts” stuff, but the many sadistic types among
them appreciate a good laugh.
This way of doing things serves Israel's interests, too, in
continuously portraying Muslims as terrible people capable of anything, so
Israel, the actual aggressor and begetter or most of the wars in the region,
can keep playing the phony role it has played for decades, that of poor little
David fighting Goliath and hordes of ignorant, uncouth Philistines. The role
was somewhat well received back in the 1960s, but, after a half century of
Israel’s brutal occupation, abuse, theft, and killing, the role had become a
bit tired in its acceptance by audiences. This work tarts things up a bit, like
a fresh coat of make-up applied to a corpse.
And Israel's interests are the interests of the Pentagon and
CIA since Israel really effectively is an American colony serving a number of
American imperial interests in the region.
