” Fight until whose end? “
Veterans
Today was right – the West and the Gulf States have unleashed a new
generation of highly trained terrorists upon us all by providing Syria
as their training ground, and on the cheap, too.
Western regime change on the cheap
I can’t say I am surprised. The
West has stoked the international terrorism fires by subcontracting
what they thought would be the second front knock out punch on Assad to
throw-a-way surrogate fighters alike the al-Nusra religious fanatics.
With the oil rich Gulf State paying the tab someone pushed this as the ‘smart way’ to do future regime changes.
That
someone is hiding out now as it was a stupid plan to begin with. It
only made sense of their real goal WAS to unleash a new wave of
terrorism in the Mid East, which will predictably spread to Europe and
beyond. Why would a Western state do this?
How about because it
would serve to solidify the massive surveillance police state they now
have us under? Do you really think they would ever like to retire from
having that power over us…ever?

US remains 'uninterested' as Kurds massacred by Syria’s militant opposition

Reports
this week of the radical Islamist opposition in Syria massacring Kurds
in the northern Syria is a disturbing development, but not nearly as
disturbing as the strategic silence on the issue by the US and European
government-media complex.
According to reports from the village of
Tal Abyad near the Turkish border on Monday, jihadist terror brigades
massacred some 450 residents, including 330 women and elderly, along
with 120 youths and elderly near the Turkish border.
For nearly a
year now, this Saudi and Qatari-financed armed opposition, known as
Al-Nusra Front, or Jabhat Al-Nusra, has been enabled by its benefactors
to run rampant in and around Syria. Because of the US and Britain’s cozy
relationship with both their gulf allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, very
little, if any, condemnation has come from the political ring leaders of
the Syrian reformation project based in Washington and London. The same
goes for the Western media, who do not want to run any news that might
further expose their political leaders’ own shaky history with Syria
since the conflict began.
Any US congressional hearings or British
parliamentary inquiries into the matter might just reveal too much
information about the illegal flow of arms, or the presence of CIA, MI6,
Mossad agents, along with any other undeclared special forces currently
involved in operations around the conflict zone there. Given the
current political climate, any such revelations would be a political
disaster, especially for Washington.
Arab-Kurdish war in Syria?
Other
disturbing reports of targeted violence in the region include Kurds
being targeted by both Al-Nusra Front and the Free Syrian Army in
northern Syria. Recently, in Tall Hassel and Tall Aren near Aleppo, 200
Kurds were said to have been taken hostage. There are also fears of the
possibly that dozens of other civilians, including women and children,
may have been brutally massacred there.
With the situation
deteriorating, it’s clear that thousands of civilians are becoming
trapped in this region, threatened with execution, rape and victims of
kidnapping by the FSA and Al-Qaeda groups. It’s not yet known how many
young people have been executed for the sole reason of being a Kurd.
By
empowering these radical Islamic foreign-dominated fighters in Syria,
the West and its Gulf State business affiliates have fueled a situation
whereby fatwas could be issued in radical Sunni mosques in Syria and
elsewhere - making Kurdish blood
‘legal’.
Al-Nusra Front’s
efforts in the Kurdish region of Syria appear to have an ethnic
cleansing, or genocidal shape to them. These radical Islamists appear to
be motivated by religion and race, as evidenced by the Islamic front’s
public announcement of its wish to carve out an independent religious
and Arab state, or emirate, in Northern Syria. Islamic rebels in Syria
are already in the process of re-branding themselves as the
‘Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham’, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).

With
so much Kurdish blood already spilt, it’s a foregone conclusion that
most Syrian Kurds will never accept any alliance with the
FSA-Islamist-Al-Qaeda confab. This means that fighting in the region
could be a long and violent affair – especially if Washington and Ankara
continue to employ a policy of willful ignorance towards the bloodshed
there.
Washington’s blind eye towards the Al-Nusra Front terrorist
conclave was forced out into the open last month when the US Congress
voted against arming the Syrian rebels on the grounds that it’s now
dominated by fighters with known terrorist affiliations, including
Al-Qaeda. Many in the US government are beginning to realize that
toppling the government of Bashar Assad at any cost is a cost too high
to bear.
The facts on the ground over the last year reveal that the so-called
‘moderate opposition’
known as the Free Syrian Army is painfully weak, and dominated by
dozens, if not hundreds of radical, foreign-led Islamist fighting
groups, of which Al-Nusra Front is the largest and best-funded. Still,
Washington will not openly condemn the terror group for fear that such a
public decrial of foreign militant terror in Syria would discredit the
West’s entire effort over the last two years of characterizing the
Syrian Armed Opposition as some sort of progressive, modern democratic,
freedom-loving homogenous effort.
