America: Freedom to Fascism is a 2006 film by Aaron Russo, which alleges among a variety of claims that income tax is illegal. The documentary covers many subjects, including: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the income tax, Federal Reserve System, national ID cards (REAL ID Act), human-implanted RFID tags (Spychips), Diebold electronic voting machines, globalization, Big Brother, taser weapons abuse, and the alleged use of terrorism by government as a means to diminish the citizens' rights.
The Film Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created.

IN THE 1990'S, IT WAS OFFICIALLY KNOWN THAT ISIS WAS ISRAEL SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE!
LIKE AL-QAEDA, ISIS AND IS ARE US-ISRAEL CREATIONS!
Beinazir
Lasharie, who reportedly linked Zionists to ISIS, appointed Deputy
Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea to help “rebuild trust with residents”
Councillor Beinazir Lasharie, who reportedly said that “I’ve seen compelling evidence that links Zionists to ISIS” has been appointed
Deputy Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea “to help the Council rebuild
trust with residents following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower.”
In February 2015, Councillor Lasharie reportedlyposted
a video on Facebook entitled: “ISIS: Israeli Secret Intelligence
Service”, commenting on it: “Many people know about who was behind 9/11
and also who is behind ISIS. I’ve nothing against Jews..just sharing
it.” When questioned by journalists she reportedly said: “I’ve seen compelling evidence that links Zionists to ISIS.”
It was initially reported that Labour had suspended Councillor Lasharie for her comments but Kensington Labour later said
that she had been reinstated as “the Labour Councillor for Notting
Dale” and confirmed that, following an investigation, her suspension was
lifted in December 2015. However, this was contradicted by reports in
March 2016 that she had not been suspended after all. Ms Lasharie’s status at this time is unknown, owing to the conditions of secrecy imposed by the Chakrabarti report.
Councillor Lasharie’s appointment as Deputy Mayor came to light when
Campaign Against Antisemitism asked Councillor Lasharie to comment on
her previous comments on social media as part of our research into antisemitism in political parties.
We received a lengthy statement from the Royal Borough of Kensington
and Chelsea in response, stating that Councillor Lasharie, who lives
near Grenfell Tower, agreed to be Deputy Mayor “to help the Council
rebuild trust with residents following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower.”
It added that “She will help the Council build new connections and bring
new voices to the Council, as well as strengthening the ties we already
value with many groups and individuals across the Royal Borough.”
Regarding the allegations, it said that “Following an investigation
by the Labour Group, disciplinary charges against Councillor Lasharie
were dropped. It was important that these allegations were investigated
in full, recommendations were drawn up which did not include
disciplinary action and Councillor Lasharie was reinstated to the Labour
Group.”
Campaign Against Antisemitism has written to Councillor Elizabeth
Campbell, the leader of the Council, to make her aware of the matter and
to seek her response. Councillor Campbell can be contacted at cllr.e.campbell@rbkc.gov.uk.
Finally Confirmed: US-ISRAEL Created ISIS Terror Group
Declassified secret US government document reveals US created ISIS as a tool to overthrow Syria's President Assad
(Zero Hedge)Tue, May 26, 2015|3000 words 104,00696
From
the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the fanatical
Islamic group known as ISIS which was largely unheard of until a year
ago, on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn out and
tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested that the
"straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was
a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a
political goal: depose of Syria's president Assad, who for years has
stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline,
one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant - and belligerent -
source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful
Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in
quasi-world war.
If the West bombs Islamic State militants in Syria without consulting Damascus, LiveLeak reports that
the anti-ISIS alliance may use the occasion to launch airstrikes
against President Bashar Assad’s forces, according to Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov. Clearly comprehending that Obama's
new strategy against ISIS in Syria is all about pushing the Qatar
pipeline through (as was the impetus behind the 2013 intervention push),
Russia is pushing back noting that the it is using ISIS as a pretext
for bombing Syrian government forces and warning that "such a
development would lead to a huge escalation of conflict in the Middle
East and North Africa."
But it's one thing to speculate; it's something entirely different to have hard proof.
And while speculation was rife that just like the CIA-funded al Qaeda had
been used as a facade by the US to achieve its own geopolitical and
national interests over the past two decades, so ISIS was nothing more
than al Qaeda 2.0, there was no actual evidence of just this.
That
may all have changed now when a declassified secret US government
document obtained by the public interest law firm, Judicial Watch, shows
that Western governments deliberately allied with al-Qaeda and other
Islamist extremist groups to topple Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.
According
to investigative reporter Nafeez Ahmed in Medium, the "leaked document
reveals that in coordination with the Gulf states and Turkey, the West
intentionally sponsored violent Islamist groups to destabilize Assad,
despite anticipating that doing so could lead to the emergence of an
‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
According to
the newly declassified US document, the Pentagon foresaw the likely
rise of the ‘Islamic State’ as a direct consequence of the strategy, but
described this outcome as a strategic opportunity to “isolate the
Syrian regime.”
And not just that: as we reported last week,
now that ISIS is running around the middle east, cutting people's heads
of in 1080p quality and Hollywood-quality (perhaps literally) video,
the US has a credible justification to sell billions worth of modern,
sophisticated weapons in the region in order to "modernize" and
"replenish" the weapons of such US allies as Saudi Arabia, Israel and
Iraq.
But that the US military-industrial complex is a
winner every time war breaks out anywhere in the world (usually with the
assistance of the CIA) is clear to everyone by now. What wasn't clear
is just how the US predetermined the current course of events in the
middle east.
Now, thanks to the following declassified report, we
have a far better understanding of not only how current events in the
middle east came to be, but what America's puppermaster role leading up
to it all, was.
From Nafeez Ahmed: Secret Pentagon report
reveals West saw ISIS as strategic asset Anti-ISIS coalition knowingly
sponsored violent extremists to ‘isolate’ Assad, rollback ‘Shia
expansion', originally posted in Medium.
Hypocrisy
The
revelations contradict the official line of Western government on their
policies in Syria, and raise disturbing questions about secret Western
support for violent extremists abroad, while using the burgeoning threat
of terror to justify excessive mass surveillance and crackdowns on
civil liberties at home.
Among the batch of documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a federal lawsuit, released earlier this week, is a US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) document then classified as “secret,” dated 12th August 2012.
The
DIA provides military intelligence in support of planners, policymakers
and operations for the US Department of Defense and intelligence
community.
So far, media reporting has focused on the evidence
that the Obama administration knew of arms supplies from a Libyan
terrorist stronghold to rebels in Syria.
Some outlets have
reported the US intelligence community’s internal prediction of the rise
of ISIS. Yet none have accurately acknowledged the disturbing details
exposing how the West knowingly fostered a sectarian, al-Qaeda-driven
rebellion in Syria.
Charles Shoebridge, a former British Army and Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism intelligence officer, said:
“Given
the political leanings of the organisation that obtained these
documents, it’s unsurprising that the main emphasis given to them thus
far has been an attempt to embarrass Hilary Clinton regarding what was
known about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi in 2012. However,
the documents also contain far less publicized revelations that raise
vitally important questions of the West’s governments and media in their
support of Syria’s rebellion.”
The West’s Islamists
The newly declassified DIA document from
2012 confirms that the main component of the anti-Assad rebel forces by
this time comprised Islamist insurgents affiliated to groups that would
lead to the emergence of ISIS. Despite this, these groups were to
continue receiving support from Western militaries and their regional
allies.
Noting that “the Salafist [sic], the Muslim Brotherhood,
and AQI [al-Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency
in Syria,” the document states that “the West, Gulf countries, and
Turkey support the opposition,” while Russia, China and Iran “support
the [Assad] regime.”
The 7-page DIA document states that
al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), the precursor to the ‘Islamic State in Iraq,’
(ISI) which became the ‘Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,’ “supported the
Syrian opposition from the beginning, both ideologically and through
the media.”
The formerly secret Pentagon report notes that
the “rise of the insurgency in Syria” has increasingly taken a
“sectarian direction,” attracting diverse support from Sunni “religious
and tribal powers” across the region.
In a section titled ‘The
Future Assumptions of the Crisis,’ the DIA report predicts that while
Assad’s regime will survive, retaining control over Syrian territory,
the crisis will continue to escalate “into proxy war.”
The
document also recommends the creation of “safe havens under
international sheltering, similar to what transpired in Libya when
Benghazi was chosen as the command centre for the temporary government.”
In Libya, anti-Gaddafi rebels, most of whom were al-Qaeda affiliated militias, were protected by NATO ‘safe havens’ (aka ‘no fly zones’).
‘Supporting powers want’ ISIS entity
In
a strikingly prescient prediction, the Pentagon
document explicitly forecasts the probable declaration of “an Islamic
State through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and
Syria.”
Nevertheless, “Western countries, the Gulf states and
Turkey are supporting these efforts” by Syrian “opposition forces”
fighting to “control the eastern areas (Hasaka and Der Zor), adjacent to
Western Iraqi provinces (Mosul and Anbar)”:
“… there
is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist
Principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly
what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate
the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia
expansion (Iraq and Iran).”
The secret Pentagon
document thus provides extraordinary confirmation that the US-led
coalition currently fighting ISIS, had three years ago welcomed the
emergence of an extremist “Salafist Principality” in the region as a way
to undermine Assad, and block off the strategic expansion of Iran.
Crucially, Iraq is labeled as an integral part of this “Shia expansion.”
The
establishment of such a “Salafist Principality” in eastern Syria, the
DIA document asserts, is “exactly” what the “supporting powers to the
[Syrian] opposition want.” Earlier on, the document repeatedly describes
those “supporting powers” as “the West, Gulf countries, and Turkey.”
Further
on, the document reveals that Pentagon analysts were acutely aware of
the dire risks of this strategy, yet ploughed ahead anyway.
The
establishment of such a “Salafist Principality” in eastern Syria, it
says, would create “the ideal atmosphere for AQI to return to its old
pockets in Mosul and Ramadi.” Last summer, ISIS conquered Mosul in Iraq,
and just this month has also taken control of Ramadi.
Such a quasi-state entity will provide:
“…
a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the jihad among
Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world
against what it considers one enemy. ISI could also declare an Islamic
State through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and
Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and
the protection of territory.”
The 2012 DIA document
is an Intelligence Information Report (IIR), not a “finally evaluated
intelligence” assessment, but its contents are vetted before
distribution. The report was circulated throughout the US intelligence
community, including to the State Department, Central Command, the
Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, FBI, among other agencies.
In
response to my questions about the strategy, the British government
simply denied the Pentagon report’s startling revelations of deliberate
Western sponsorship of violent extremists in Syria. A British Foreign
Office spokesperson said:
“AQ and ISIL are proscribed
terrorist organisations. The UK opposes all forms of terrorism. AQ,
ISIL, and their affiliates pose a direct threat to the UK’s national
security. We are part of a military and political coalition to defeat
ISIL in Iraq and Syria, and are working with international partners to
counter the threat from AQ and other terrorist groups in that region. In
Syria we have always supported those moderate opposition groups who
oppose the tyranny of Assad and the brutality of the extremists.”
The DIA did not respond to request for comment.
Strategic asset for regime-change
Security
analyst Shoebridge, however, who has tracked Western support for
Islamist terrorists in Syria since the beginning of the war, pointed out
that the secret Pentagon intelligence report exposes fatal
contradictions at the heart of official pronunciations:
“Throughout
the early years of the Syria crisis, the US and UK governments, and
almost universally the West’s mainstream media, promoted Syria’s rebels
as moderate, liberal, secular, democratic, and therefore deserving of
the West’s support. Given that these documents wholly undermine this
assessment, it’s significant that the West’s media has now, despite
their immense significance, almost entirely ignored them.”
According
to Brad Hoff, a former US Marine who served during the early years of
the Iraq War and as a 9/11 first responder at the Marine Corps
Headquarters in Battalion Quantico from 2000 to 2004, the just released
Pentagon report for the first time provides stunning affirmation that:
“US
intelligence predicted the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL or ISIS), but instead of clearly delineating the group as
an enemy, the report envisions the terror group as a US strategic
asset.”
Hoff, who is managing editor of Levant Report —
?an online publication run by Texas-based educators who have direct
experience of the Middle East?—?points out that the DIA document
“matter-of-factly” states that the rise of such an extremist Salafist
political entity in the region offers a “tool for regime change in
Syria.”
The DIA intelligence report shows, he said, that the rise
of ISIS only became possible in the context of the Syrian
insurgency?—?“there is no mention of US troop withdrawal from Iraq as a
catalyst for Islamic State’s rise, which is the contention of
innumerable politicians and pundits.” The report demonstrates that:
“The
establishment of a ‘Salafist Principality’ in Eastern Syria is
‘exactly’ what the external powers supporting the opposition want
(identified as ‘the West, Gulf Countries, and Turkey’) in order to
weaken the Assad government.”
The rise of a Salafist
quasi-state entity that might expand into Iraq, and fracture that
country, was therefore clearly foreseen by US intelligence as
likely?—?but nevertheless strategically useful?—?blowback from the
West’s commitment to “isolating Syria.”
Complicity
Critics
of the US-led strategy in the region have repeatedly raised questions
about the role of coalition allies in intentionally providing extensive
support to Islamist terrorist groups in the drive to destabilize the
Assad regime in Syria.
The conventional wisdom is that the US
government did not retain sufficient oversight on the funding to
anti-Assad rebel groups, which was supposed to be monitored and vetted
to ensure that only ‘moderate’ groups were supported.
However, the
newly declassified Pentagon report proves unambiguously that years
before ISIS launched its concerted offensive against Iraq, the US
intelligence community was fully aware that Islamist militants
constituted the core of Syria’s sectarian insurgency.
Despite
that, the Pentagon continued to support the Islamist insurgency, even
while anticipating the probability that doing so would establish an
extremist Salafi stronghold in Syria and Iraq.
As Shoebridge told
me, “The documents show that not only did the US government at the
latest by August 2012 know the true extremist nature and likely outcome
of Syria’s rebellion”?—?namely, the emergence of ISIS?—?“but that this
was considered an advantage for US foreign policy. This also suggests a
decision to spend years in an effort to deliberately mislead the West’s
public, via a compliant media, into believing that Syria’s rebellion was
overwhelmingly ‘moderate.’”
Annie Machon, a former MI5 intelligence officer who blew the whistle in
the 1990s on MI6 funding of al-Qaeda to assassinate Libya’s former
leader Colonel Gaddafi, similarly said of the revelations:
“This is no surprise to me. Within individual countries there are always multiple intelligence agencies with competing agendas.”
She
explained that MI6’s Libya operation in 1996, which resulted in the
deaths of innocent people, “happened at precisely the time when MI5 was
setting up a new section to investigate al-Qaeda.”
This strategy was repeated on a grand scale in the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, said Machon, where the CIA and MI6 were:
“…
supporting the very same Libyan groups, resulting in a failed state,
mass murder, displacement and anarchy. So the idea that elements of the
American military-security complex have enabled the development of ISIS
after their failed attempt to get NATO to once again ‘intervene’ is part
of an established pattern. And they remain indifferent to the sheer
scale of human suffering that is unleashed as a result of such
game-playing.”
Divide and rule
Several
US government officials have conceded that their closest allies in the
anti-ISIS coalition were funding violent extremist Islamist groups that
became integral to ISIS.
US Vice President Joe Biden, for instance, admitted last
year that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Turkey had funneled hundreds
of millions of dollars to Islamist rebels in Syria that metamorphosed
into ISIS.
But he did not admit what this internal Pentagon document demonstrates?—?that the entire covert strategy was sanctioned and supervised by the US, Britain, France, Israel and other Western powers.
The strategy appears to fit a policy scenario identified by a recent US Army-commissioned RAND Corp report.
The
report, published four years before the DIA document, called for the US
“to capitalise on the Shia-Sunni conflict by taking the side of the
conservative Sunni regimes in a decisive fashion and working with them
against all Shiite empowerment movements in the Muslim world.”
The
US would need to contain “Iranian power and influence” in the Gulf by
“shoring up the traditional Sunni regimes in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and
Pakistan.” Simultaneously, the US must maintain “a strong strategic
relationship with the Iraqi Shiite government” despite its Iran
alliance.
The RAND report confirmed that
the “divide and rule” strategy was already being deployed “to create
divisions in the jihadist camp. Today in Iraq such a strategy is being
used at the tactical level.”
The report observed that the US was
forming “temporary alliances” with al-Qaeda affiliated “nationalist
insurgent groups” that have fought the US for four years in the form of
“weapons and cash.” Although these nationalists “have cooperated with
al-Qaeda against US forces,” they are now being supported to exploit
“the common threat that al-Qaeda now poses to both parties.”
The
2012 DIA document, however, further shows that while sponsoring
purportedly former al-Qaeda insurgents in Iraq to counter
al-Qaeda,Western governments were simultaneously arming al-Qaeda
insurgents in Syria.
The revelation from an internal US
intelligence document that the very US-led coalition supposedly fighting
‘Islamic State’ today, knowingly created ISIS in the first place,
raises troubling questions about recent government efforts to justify
the expansion of state anti-terror powers.
In the wake of the rise
of ISIS, intrusive new measures to combat extremism including mass
surveillance, the Orwellian ‘prevent duty’ and even plans to enable
government censorship of broadcasters, are being pursued on both sides
of the Atlantic, much of which disproportionately targets activists,
journalists and ethnic minorities, especially Muslims.
Yet the new
Pentagon report reveals that, contrary to Western government
claims, the primary cause of the threat comes from their own deeply
misguided policies of secretly sponsoring Islamist terrorism for dubious
geopolitical purposes.

Russia Insider Tip Jar - Keep truth alive!
Why Iran Believes the Militant Group ISIS Is an American Plot
A
fighter of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) holds an
ISIS flag and a weapon on a street in the city of Mosul, Iraq, on June
23, 2014
Iran’s English-language daily newspaper, the Tehran Times,
recently ran a front-page story describing the Islamic State of Iraq
and Greater Syria’s (ISIS) June offensive in Iraq as part of a
U.S.-backed plot to destabilize the region and protect Israel. The story
was an English translation of a scoop by the state-run Islamic Republic
News Agency (IRNA), which cited a purported interview with National
Security Agency (NSA) leaker Edward Snowden.
According to the article, Snowden had described a
joint U.S., British and Israeli effort to “create a terrorist
organization capable of centralizing all extremist actions across the
world.” The plan, according to IRNA, was code-named Beehive — or in
other translations, Hornet’s Nest — and it was devised to protect Israel
from security threats by diverting attention to the newly manufactured
regional enemy: ISIS.
The IRNA story appears to build on, or may have even started, an Internet rumor
that has assumed truthlike proportions through multiple reposts and
links. No mention of a “hornet’s nest” plot can be found in Snowden’s
leaked trove of U.S. intelligence documents, and even though Snowden has
not publicly refuted the claim, it is safe to assume that the quoted
interview never took place. (IRNA has been known to report stories from
the satirical Onion newspaper as fact.) Yet Iranian government
officials and independent analysts in Iran alike cited IRNA’s report as
definitive proof of ISIS’s American and Israeli origins.
Back when former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was
in power, it was not unusual to see IRNA echoing specious wild theories
dreamed up by the leadership, but since the more moderate Hassan Rouhani
assumed the presidency in August 2013, the security establishment’s
nuttier fantasies of deranged plots against Iran have been largely
reined in. That is, until ISIS spilled out of Syria and started setting
up camp next door in Iraq, where Iran has tight ties with the
Shi‘ite-dominated government in Baghdad.
Even before the Snowden scoop made the rounds of
Iran’s media, military commanders, citing their own sources of
intelligence, struck a similar theme. On June 18, Fars News Agency quoted Major
General Hassan Firoozabadi, Chief of Staff of Iran’s armed forces,
saying that ISIS “is an Israel[i] and America[n] movement for the
creation of a secure border for the Zionists against the forces of
resistance in the region.” That Iran’s media, along with its leaders, is
focusing on ISIS’s supposed external backers — as opposed to its
origins in local terrorist groups, al-Qaeda and popular discontent in
both Syria and Iraq — demonstrates a concerted effort to streamline the
national narrative in order to project power and preserve stability. As
an example of another Western plot against Iran, ISIS can be managed —
so goes Iran’s thinking. But as a new, potentially more destabilizing
threat on Iran’s borders, ISIS poses challenges that the leadership is
still struggling to understand and respond to. The only problem is that
dismissing ISIS as a Zionist conspiracy could end up undermining Iran
far more than any supposed American plot.
In its previous incarnation as an Iraqi al-Qaeda
affiliate, ISIS has been responsible for thousands of Shi‘ite deaths in
terrorist attacks since its formation in 2003. The group’s current
success in Iraq — by some estimates it now controls a third of Iraq’s
territory, including the city of Mosul — has as much to do with its
considerable funding and military prowess as it does the weaknesses of
the Iraqi state, led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, an
Iranian-backed Shi‘ite who has alienated Iraq’s large Sunni minority.
Now that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
has declared himself the emir of a caliphate spanning the Syrian-Iraqi
border, he continues to advocate violence against members of the Shi‘ite
sect, whom he calls apostates, and has threatened to destroy Shi‘ite
holy sites in an attempt to ignite an Islamic sectarian civil war. That
would likely cause the Iranian-backed government in Baghdad to collapse,
forcing Iran to send in troops and sparking a region-wide
conflagration.
Yet Iranian government officials refuse to accept
that there is a sectarian root to ISIS’s agenda, or that ISIS was able
to advance in part because of Sunni discontent. When American leaders
suggested that al-Maliki’s Shi‘ite chauvinism may have played a role in
rallying Sunni support for the ISIS advance into Iraq, and suggested he
step down, Iranians saw it as a direct threat to their influence. “When
ISIS started advancing into Iraq, the first thing the Americans said was
that Maliki should be changed,” says Hossein Shariatmadari, editor in
chief of the government-owned conservative daily Kayhan. “Maliki
was democratically elected, so what does he have to do with it? Nothing.
The Americans wanted to cut the ties between Iran and Iraq.”
Instead Iran has declared the group a region-wide
terrorist threat that funded and peopled by outsiders, including the
U.S., Saudi Arabia and other Gulf monarchies. So far Iran says it has
not gotten directly involved in Iraq, though it is prepared to do so if
necessary. (Official statements aside, there is significant evidence of
Iranian support in the form of military weaponry, assistance and
training, if not troops on the ground.) But if Iran does take a hand in
the battle against ISIS, it will do so in the name of fighting terrorism
— and not for the cause of supporting its Shi‘ite ally in government.
That’s a canny move that could explain, in part,
the government line, says a Western diplomat in Tehran. To go in with an
overtly sectarian agenda would invite a regional backlash that could
harm Iranian interests and threaten the state. “It is in the best
interest of Iran to present this group as terrorists, because that way
no one can accuse Iran of backing Shi‘ites against a Sunni movement,”
says the diplomat.
But if Iran continues to back Maliki against the
will of a disgruntled, powerful and armed Sunni minority in Iraq, it
could still invoke a backlash all the same. Which might explain why the
government line also plays up the American and Mossad angle a familiar
trope. If it all collapses, Iran can still blame the West for the
debacle, says the diplomat. “If Iran can convince its people that there
is a plot against the country that must be countered, while at the same
time providing a narrative of counterterror to the world, they are
protecting their interests and hedging their bets at the same time.”
Why IRNA had to concoct something so obviously
fictional as a fake Snowden interview to bolster the narrative is still
unclear. Even Shariatmadari, editor of Kayhan, is mystified. “I
thought this interview was strange too, because all this happened after
Snowden had access to those documents,” he tells TIME. Nonetheless, he
ran the story on his front page as well.

REBUTTAL BY
Finally,
after nearly two whole decades, it looks as if Donald the Peacemaker {SON OF GOD? Field McConnell acclaimed him as the Messiah of the Christians!}--
in the face of Globalist / Neo-Con / Fake News opposition -- will soon
be ending {ending? my foot!} the 5th inherited war or "cold war" of his
3-year-old presidency -- yet with not even a mention of so much as a
nomination for the fake-ass Nobel Peace Prize ™(an "honor" which is actually reserved only for Globalists and Communists). The pacified {pacified?} hot-spots of the Trump Doctrine are:
1. The Korean Peninsula
2. Eastern Ukraine
3. Syria
4. The Asian Pivot (allied military encirclement of China) ... and now ...
5. The War in Afghanistan
One
would think that all those superficial anti-war normies who protested
the Iraq War -- as well as the silver-haired pony-tailed hippy vermin,
now over the age 65, who protested the Vietnam War -- would all be
singing the praises of Donald the Peacemaker by now. Evidently, the
"give-peace-a-chance" crowd only opposes bloodshed when it is a
Republican presiding over it -- and only embraces empty promises of
peace when it is a Demonrat making them.Indeed, warmonger Obongo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize ™ in 2009 (after just 10 months in office!){and the whole (with few exceptions) of US America swallowed this heap of shit!} solely on the basis of his calculated criticism of the Bush Doctrine.
Mending
fences, making friends and ending Globalist conflicts all over the
world --- yet Trump gets ZERO credit from the Fake News. {Except stopping the anus-licking of Apartheid Israel!}
As most of "youse guys" will surely recall (hard to believe that some of my college readers of today were still in diapers back then!), the seemingly endless Afghanistan War was triggered by the phony pretext of the September 11 false flag attacks of 2001. According to the official fairy tale, the Taliban {Taliban means STUDENTS! Talib is the singular!} government had to be removed for allowing Osama Bin Laden
and his Al Qaeda terrorist network to safely plot the attacks from
Afghanistan. {Another Judeo-Yankee joke!} Psychologically traumatized, hungry for blood, and totally
under the spell of the Bush-Cheney cabal and Fake News, Boobus Americanus
went along with the October invasion without so much as a flicker of
critical thought. "USA! USA! USA!" {ISRAEL! ISRAEL! ISRAEL!} -- chanted the moronic mob. Who among
us veteran truthers can forget the madness of those dark days of
national insanity so brilliantly orchestrated by "the usual suspects?"
The
"good war" in Afghanistan, though not as lethal nor as expensive as the
disaster in Iraq, still cost American taxpayers $2 Trillion and took
the lives of more than 3,500{a tricke} coalition troops (mostly Americans)
and scores {HUNDREDS!} of thousands of Afghans since 2001. What a criminal waste of
blood {blood is never wasted as it is always offered to Israel's God Moloch!} and money {The demons can afford to waste money WE GIVE THEM as they print it themselves!}! To put that $2 Trillion in perspective, that's about
the equivalent of $6,000 stolen from every man, woman and child in the
country -- all on the basis of a hoax. Actually, it's worse than that
because much of that hefty sum was borrowed at compounding interest. Try
stealing just a fraction of that money as a private citizen, and you'd
end up in prison. But when our "public servants" commit such crimes, on a
much grander scale, nothing happens to them. {RIGHT!}
1.
The 9/11 false flag (CIA & Mossad) drove the public (as was
planned) into temporary insanity.
// 2. Speaking from his base in
Afghanistan, Osama Bin Bogeyman repeatedly and unequivocally denied any
involvement with the 9/11 attacks. {BID DICK CHENEY walked into Al-Jazeera Headquarters in Dubai (?) with his Crypto-Jew (Arab) business partner (did they both not own it?) and had the interview with Bin Ladin dumped!}
// 3. The made-for-TV event prompted
the naive NFL football star Pat Tillman to pause his sports career and
volunteer for the U.S. Army. He ended-up being killed in Afghanistan in a
strange "friendly fire" incident. Many believe that he had figured out
the Iraq War was a scam, and was planning to use his fame to come home
and speak out (a la Patton) against the wars. But he died soon after his
transfer to Afghanistan. {He was an idiot! Anyway, nearly half the US population are idiots! Apparently, he never heard of Patton at all! Just like Herr Hitler never heard of Napoleon at all!}
Though
this withdrawal deal is all good news {it can't be!}, the fact remains that U.S.
troops aren't out yet. And as long as they remain, the Deep State,
backed up by Sulzberger's Slimes and the rest of the Piranha Press, can
still sabotage the process. Already, the sub-human scum at the Slimes
are leaking out subtle negativity from their red rectums{and through their anuses or fecal or sexually-oriented orifices!} -- as the
following recent headlines indicate:
NYT: (February 29): Why the Taliban Will Never Agree to a Real Peace Deal
NYT: (February 29): Is This Afghan Peace, or Just a Way Out?
NYT: (March 1): Afghan Peace Plan Faces First Roadblock: Releasing Taliban Prisoners
{THEY DO NOT HAVE A CAMP DAVID IN AFGHANISTAN?}
Bastards.
Bloody demonic bastards. (((They))) lied us into the war --- {THEY can never lie us into war! We are ordered into war and we are paid for it!} then,
after 18 & 1/2 bloody years, (((they))) whine about the human and
financial toll of the war -- and now, as Trump attempts to finally
withdraw, (((they))) pepper him with negative cheap shots.
{They must have had gold ingots or drugs in there!}
{"AMERICA LOVES YOU, MY KING!" They are not racists as they even show a BLACK woman moaning her ASSASSIN MERCENARY!}
{She is just saying: Damn you, John, you did not love me, love us! Why did you have to rape Afghani young girls and women and steal their gold like you did in Vietnam, and murder their babies and pregnant women?}
The
9/11 wars --- a waste of blood and treasure brought to you, in large
part, by the evil, unaccountable Fake News filth at the New York Slimes.
Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the New York Times today that we may finally be pulling out of Afghanistan. Boobus Americanus 2: Well it's about time! Thank goodness for that. {But, they will pull in again at any time!} *St. Sugar: It wouldn't be happening had that nauseating bitch you voted for in 2016 become pressident, Boobuss! Editor: Braindead Boobus will never make such a connection -- and he will vote against Trump again this fall.
