The US has been arming terrorist for decades' a good example is the Afghan Soviet war of the 1980s where the US founded terrorist backed militias to combat the Soviets.

Very interesting read.

We have to take out the CIA. JFK said it and it's still true. The head of USAID in Tehran was transferred to Afghanistan months before I got to Tehran. Shortly thereafter the Taliban were created. Many years later a cousin's retired chemist husband was hired by USAID to be involved in "food aid" programs in which food was provided for free for a couple years to African countries in order to destroy their domestic farming industries. And offered GMO seeds later on, of course. Of course, he never said he was involved in a CIA program but I never doubted he was. Oddly, he was with the Heifer Project before that and now I wonder who funds that project and what for? I offered high-quality sperm from my excellent bucks (male goats) but he turned me down. Of course he did. Improving genetic stock in the Himalayan countries was never the point, I am sure.

Catherine Austin Fitts keeps asking where the trillions of dollars went that are missing from the budget and I know where they went. They are funding the CIA in secret, illegal ops. No one oversees them. They do not provide fiscal accountability. No forensic accounting has been done. They are not under the control of the Congress. They operate without accountability to anyone. Their budget (if you can even say they have one) is enormous.

Follow the money. And destroy the CIA. It's the only way to stop all this.

If you consider who benefits from all these invasions and regime coups you will see US-based corporations, whether they are Monsanto et al. or American petroleum companies. Iraq was a very successful country under Saddam Hussein, as was Syria until they started attacking. When Hafez died, they saw their chance because Bashir Assad was never prepared to be the leader of any nation, let alone one that was in the cross-hairs of all these predatory countries.

Although these are dark days, if you step back and look at world history you realize this is temporary. This region of the world has been invaded and colonialized over and over and over for THOUSANDS of years. And these people keep coming back. Their genius for survival is immense.

All these terroristic groups were created by the CIA. And the Kurds have always been used by the CIA against leaders they wanted to de-stabilize, at the least, or overthrow eventually. They never learn. They remind me of Lucy telling Charlie Brown that THIS TIME she won't pull and the football away and he won't end up on his back. Cross my heart!

What surprises me is the degree to which people are NOT educating their children so that each generation must go through the same struggle over and over and over. Country after country after country. Collaborating with the CIA is a death sentence, boys. Try to keep in mind when these boys were born--around 1982. What was happening in that region around 1982?

I didn't much like Hafez (though I respected him for keeping the colonialists away, as did Qaddafi) but his son Bashir continues to impress me, though he was not strong enough to keep up this struggle forever or to suppress elements in Syria in order to keep the country alive.

Still. Syria has been invaded before many, many, many times. As has Lebanon. And Palestine. And all these countries are the result of European nations cutting up the area and each taking their own portion which later became a made-up nation. But the people are not made up.
