Implausible Deniability - West's ISIS Terror Hordes in Iraq
August 8, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - The US has pledged
assistance for victims of and even possible "airstrikes" against
terrorists who have surrounded and threaten to eradicate thousands of
religious minorities in Iraq. However, the terrorists themselves are a
product of US foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa, and
instrumental in achieving Western objectives across the region. Punitive
strikes and aid to the victims of what is essentially a Western
mercenary army is part of maintaining plausible deniability.
The terror hordes originated from NATO territory and
have inundated Syria, Iraq, and now Lebanon. The goal of this well
funded, heavily armed, professionally organized mercenary force is
clearly to supplant pro-Iranian political and military fronts across
Tehran's arc of influence - from Baghdad to Damascus, to Lebanon and
Hezbollah along the Mediterranean. In the process, the heavily
indoctrinated rank and file have committed horrific atrocities ranging
from rape and torture to mass executions and sectarian genocide. While
such war crimes have been taking place in Syria since 2011, it is
becoming increasingly difficult to cover up similar crimes beyond
Syria's borders under narratives of "civil war" linked to the so-called
"Arab Spring."
Instead, various stories have been used by the West to explain the
appearance of ISIS in Iraq, the unprecedented scale of its operations,
its convoys of matching vehicles and now military trucks, artillery, and
even tanks. While the world is meant to believe ISIS spontaneously rose
from the desert and "stole" billions in cash, weapons, and gear, a much
simpler and documented explanation exists - Western state sponsorship -
and state sponsorship that continues even as the West denounces the monsters of their own creation.
ISIS Origins
Beginning in 2011 - and actually even as early as 2007 - the United
States has been arming, funding, and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood
and a myriad of armed terrorist organizations to overthrow the
government of Syria, fight Hezbollah in Lebanon, and undermine the power
and influence of Iran, which of course includes any other government or
group in the MENA region friendly toward Tehran.

ISIS did not take these trucks from "moderates," the moderates never existed to begin with. From the beginning, it was the West's plan to raise a mercenary army of sectarian extremists operating under the banner of Al Qaeda. |

Billions in cash have been funneled into the hands of terrorist groups
including Al Nusra, Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), and what is now being called
"Islamic State in Iraq and Syria" or ISIS. One can see clearly by any
map of ISIS held territory that it butts up directly against Turkey's
borders with defined corridors ISIS uses to invade southward - this is
because it is precisely from NATO territory this terrorist scourge
originated.
ISIS was harbored on NATO territory, armed and funded by US CIA agents
with cash and weapons brought in from the Saudis, Qataris, and NATO
members themselves. The "non-lethal aid" the US and British sent including the vehicles we now see ISIS driving around in.
They didn't "take" this gear from "moderates." There were never any
moderates to begin with. The deadly sectarian genocide we now see
unfolding was long ago predicted by those in the Pentagon - current and
former officials - interviewed in 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran
journalist Seymour Hersh.
Hersh's 9-page 2007 report, "The Redirection" states explicitly:

Hersh's 9-page 2007 report, "The Redirection" states explicitly:
To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush
Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in
the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with
Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations
that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is
backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations
aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has
been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant
vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.
"Extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam" and are
"sympathetic to Al Qaeda" - is a verbatim definition of what ISIS is
today. Clearly the words of Hersh were as prophetic as they were
factually informed, grounded in the reality of a regional conflict
already engineered and taking shape as early as 2007. Hersh's report
would also forewarn the sectarian nature of the coming conflict, and in
particular mention the region's Christians who were admittedly being
protected by Hezbollah.
West's Feigned Concern Vs. Genuine Drive to Divide and Destroy
Now, as the US feigns concern for religious minorities being slaughtered
in front of the eyes of the world, it should be remembered that this
conflict was engineered, set in motion, and perpetuated intentionally by
the West for at least the last 7 years. The West knew the sectarian
genocide now unfolding in Syria, Iraq, and soon in Lebanon was the
inevitable result of their efforts to raise this regional mercenary
force.
Western concern for religious minorities and the minimal provisions being made to "assist" them, is to maintain an increasingly tenuous plausible deniability.
The feigned dithering of the West in the face of their growing
mercenary force is to allow it to overrun the Iraqi government if
possible, create more havoc within Syria, and spread the chaos to
Lebanon.
ISIS is a standing army that requires state sponsorship - billions in
cash, gear, weapons, and logistical, intelligence, and political
support. While the West claims it has been handing over hundreds of
millions to "moderates" in Syria, it has offered no plausible
explanation as to who is providing ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates
with even more resources enabling the extremists to displace these
"moderates." There is no other explanation besides the fact that there
were never any moderates to begin with and that the US, UK, France,
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even Israel, have from the beginning,
intentionally created a mercenary army composed of Al Qaeda extremists
of unprecedented dimensions and capabilities.
The direct war with Iran the West has for so long attempted to sell the
world is now clearly being replaced with an immense proxy war. It will
feign ignorance to the genesis of ISIS and the fact that no other
explanation beyond state-sponsorship exists to explain its continued
success on the battlefield. Token airdrops and even "airstrikes" against
ISIS positions will admittedly do nothing to disrupt ISIS' ongoing
campaigns across the region.

Depending on ISIS' ability to achieve the West's goals by proxy will
determine the level of direct intervention the West seeks across the
region. "Buffer zones" and "humanitarian interventions" to "relieve"
areas plagued by ISIS will conveniently leave terrorist safe havens
extending far beyond their current boundaries in NATO-member Turkey,
Jordan, and northwest Iraq.
