[youtube] Ben Swann: Al Qaeda in Syria, the Story You Haven't Heard?

Ben Swann Full Disclosure talks with Emilio Ibrahim, a Syrian man living in Damascus about the U.S. and Saudi funding of Al Qaeda fighters who are leading the so called Syrian revolution.

Ben Swann should always check under his car for brake fluid before he drives.

Prayers for this fella.

I am so sick of being entangled in this web we have woven over the years. I would hope that the first thing we do when cleaning up our foreign policy mess is to end this ridiculous support we have for Israel. That seems to be the root of many of these motives for our involvement in the Middle East.

As far as long term disengagement I'd like to see us wean ourselves of our dependency on foreign oil. Backing our currency with gold and not having it linked to petrodollars sure would help remove the incentive for involvement.

No wonder the world is upset with us...

For those that aren't that interested or don't have the time to watch it, I'll recap: Basically, most Syrians of all religions support their government especially against the likes of the US or Saudis trying to foist some bs revolution by hiring and arming al qaeda terrorists to topple the president.

Just like Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Egypt, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Mali, Qatar, U.A.E., Pakistan, 'currently Syria, and 'eventually Iran'... eh?

Watch these 2 videos and then understand WHY the US/UK and TPTB are causing world conflict...

Crazy isn't it?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Crazy isn't it?

Not to go on a hijack of the Swann/Syria thread, but it it important to understand how the whole Middle East/Near East policy is played out. Man, you think Wesley Clark's speech exposes the incriminating conduct? Here's crazy... this video is complete trip.

Bypass the intro garbage and FFW and start at the 7:00 min mark.

Setting aside the 9/11 coverage, key in on parts about the dialog/liaison with the Iraqi ambassador & delegation from the UN parts as well as mentions about Libya, Somalia, Yemen, etc.

Side Notes: Susan Lindauer being charged under the Patriot Act.

1. Note what happen to Lindauer AFTER she went to the staffs of John McCain and Trent Lott to inform them of the CIA/Iraqi scenario.

2. The Patriot Act was installed to also silence all Americans exposing the Fraud, Corruption, Racketeering of the US government overseas operations. You will understand this watching how it's done from this interview.

 

[Zippyjuan]

There are reportedly over 200 different groups taking part in the Syrian oppostion. Al Queda is just one of them.

Apr 20, 2011 Cables released by Wikileaks have revealed that the US has been financing the Syrian opposition.
The reports claim the US State Department has given at least $6 million for anti-government programmes in Syria. The money was allegedly given to the Movement for Justice and Development, which is a Syrian opposition group based in London. Reformist satellite channel Barada TV is also said to have also received funding.
Demonstrators claim troops loyal to al-Assad opened fire in an attempt to disperse the crowd forcibly.

U.S. Special Operations Raid Into Syria
http://www.americanspecialops.com/operations/syria-helicopter-raid/

By Any Measure, the U.S. Is the Largest Sponsor of Terror
Washington’s Blog
Jan 6, 2013
Preface: As a patriotic American – I was born here, lived here all of my life, and love this country – I want the best for the U.S.
Lawless actions are tearing my country apart. I want my country to regain its vision, strength and moral compass. Thomas Jefferson said that “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”. I criticize my country because I know we are better than this … and that if enough people know how far we have fallen, we can start to pull ourselves back and reclaim our greatness.
Many Countries Sponsor Terror … But America Is the Worst
The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom said:

By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation.
​

(audio here).
The Washington Post reported in 2010:

The United States has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks.
​

The head and special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office said that most terror attacks are committed by our CIA and FBI.
Wikipedia notes:

Chomsky and Herman observed that terror was concentrated in the U.S. sphere of influence in the Third World, and documented terror carried out by U.S. client states in Latin America. They observed that of ten Latin American countries that had death squads, all were U.S. client states.
***
They concluded that the global rise in state terror was a result of U.S. foreign policy.
***
In 1991, a book edited by Alexander L. George [the Graham H. Stuart Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Stanford University] also argued that other Western powers sponsored terror in Third World countries. It concluded that the U.S. and its allies were the main supporters of terrorism throughout the world.

​

Indeed, the U.S. has created death squads in Latin America, Iraq and Syria:
Some in the American military have intentionally tried to “out-terrorize the terrorists”.
As Truthout notes:

Both [specialists Ethan McCord and Josh Stieber] say they saw their mission as a plan to “out-terrorize the terrorists,” in order to make the general populace more afraid of the Americans than they were of insurgent groups.
In the interview with [Scott] Horton, Horton pressed Stieber:

“… a fellow veteran of yours from the same battalion has said that you guys had a standard operating procedure, SOP, that said – and I guess this is a reaction to some EFP attacks on y’all’s Humvees and stuff that killed some guys – that from now on if a roadside bomb goes off, IED goes off, everyone who survives the attack get out and fire in all directions at anybody who happens to be nearby … that this was actually an order from above. Is that correct? Can you, you know, verify that?
​

Stieber answered:

“Yeah, it was an order that came from Kauzlarich himself, and it had the philosophy that, you know, as Finkel does describe in the book, that we were under pretty constant threat, and what he leaves out is the response to that threat. But the philosophy was that if each time one of these roadside bombs went off where you don’t know who set it … the way we were told to respond was to open fire on anyone in the area, with the philosophy that that would intimidate them, to be proactive in stopping people from making these bombs …”
​

Terrorism is defined as:

The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
​

So McCord and Stieber are correct: this constitutes terrorism by American forces in Iraq.
The U.S. has been supporting Al Qaeda and other terrorists in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Libya, Syria and Iran. Indeed, the American government has directly been supporting Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups for many decades … even after 9/11. See this, this, this, this and this.
(The U.S. has also directly inserted itself into a sectarian war between the two main Islamic sects, backing the Sunnis and attacking the Shiites. See this, this and this. Because Saudi Arabia is the seat of the most radical sect of Islam – Wahhabism- the U.S. unquestioning support of the Saudis is indirectly supporting terrorism.)

Torture – which the U.S. has liberally used during the last 10 years – has long been recognized as a form of terrorism.
Wikipedia notes:

Worldwide, 74% of countries that used torture on an administrative basis were U.S. client states, receiving military and other support to retain power.
​

Of course, some would say that the American policy of assassination – especially using drone strikes on people whose identity isn’t even known – is a form of terrorism. And see this and this.
Particularly when the U.S. is killing children, and using the justifiably-vilified Al Qaeda tactic of killing people attending funerals of those killed – and targeting people attempting to rescue people who have been injured by – our previous strikes.
Some Specific Examples …
The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister.
The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligenceadmit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism.
As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred).
As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960′s, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
Nine months earlier, a false flag attack was discussed in order to justify an invasion of the Dominican Republic. Specifically, according to official State Department records


Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications.”
As Chris Floyd and many others have noted, this plan has gone live.
United Press International reported in June 2005:

U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.​

My question.. is... If the Syrian people want to repel the rebels, why dont they fight back? I am sure a few million Syrians can kick out the rebels.

Same goes for both sides.

If the Syrian people truly supports the rebels.. then a few million Syrians can overthrow the government in days if they wanted to.

[/INDENT]

I can't even read all of the articles here, but I did travel to some of them, and then hop around looking for the original source. I was specificially interested in the pretty frightening phrase: US killing children.

I was expecting accusations which could not be proven or something vague or something...just not so....ugh...

But here it is..On a fucking military journal/blog whatever....Ya...We blew up some kids...


and when u see 8 year olds digging holes in the ground...probably a good idea to kill them....they COULD be planting an IED.
<my Interpretation after reading this article>

Nice...Real nice....No wonder soldiers come back with suicide rates through the roof??? Unlike any previous war. No wonder they have been emotionally scarred beyond repair!

If your orders are to shoot kids digging holes in the ground, your brain might eventually become MUSH. I'm not sure how a person can live with themselves afterwards, and I'm sure some of them can't. Obviously I'm in no way saying all our soldiers are shooting kids, but IF THIS ARTICLE is saying from a top level commander:, "....looking for children with HOSTILE INTENT." THEN YOU KNOW some guys in the heat of the battle have had to pull the trigger on children.




http://www.militarytimes.com/news/2012/12/marine-taliban-kids-120312w

When Marines in Helmand province sized up shadowy figures that appeared to be emplacing an improvised explosive device, it looked like a straightforward mission. They got clearance for an airstrike, a Marine official said, and took out the targets.

It wasn’t that simple, however. Three individuals hit were 12, 10 and 8 years old, leading the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul to say it may have “accidentally killed three innocent Afghan civilians.”

But a Marine official here raised questions about whether the children were “innocent.” Before calling for the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System mission in mid-October, Marines observed the children digging a hole in a dirt road in Nawa district, the official said, and the Taliban may have recruited the children to carry out the mission.

The incident underscores a continuing problem across Afghanistan. The use of children by the Taliban — through recruitment and as human shields — complicates coalition forces’ efforts to eliminate enemy fighters from the battlefield without angering civilians.

The New York Times reported that the dead children’s family members said they had been sent to gather dung, which farmers use for fuel. Taliban fighters were laying the bombs near the children, who were mistakenly killed, they said.

Regardless, it’s one of many times the children have been involved in the war. In a case this year, Afghan National Police in Kandahar province’s Zharay district found two boys, ages 9 and 11, with a male 18-year-old carrying 1-liter soda bottles full of enough potassium chlorate to kill coalition forces on a foot patrol.

“It kind of opens our aperture,” said Army Lt. Col. Marion “Ced” Carrington, whose unit, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, was assisting the Afghan police. “In addition to looking for military-age males, it’s looking for children with potential hostile intent.”

There were 316 documented cases of underage recruitment in the war last year, most of them attributed to the Taliban and other armed groups like the Haqqani network, according to a U.N. report released in April. Eleven children, including an 8-year-old girl, were killed in Afghanistan last year carrying out suicide attacks, the report said.

Marines in Helmand say the Taliban regularly recruit children to serve as spotters, letting armed insurgents know when U.S. or Afghan forces reach designated points on a patrol so they can prepare an ambush.

An ISAF spokesman, Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, said insurgents continue to use children as suicide bombers and IED emplacers, even though Taliban leader Mullah Omar has ordered them to stop harming civilians.
