Repost from Washington’s Blog. This has been known for a very long time, but I am still trying to figure out what it means. At the very least, it seems to show foreknowledge of the creation of the ISIS caliphate in Eastern Syria and possibly Iraq.
It also says that the US and its allies are supporting the creation of this caliphate because it will be bad for Iran and Syria, and those are the Allies’ worst enemies at the moment. It also says, very early on, that the Syrian rebels are being led by the salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda in Iraq (later to become ISIS), and that the US and its allies are supporting these radical Islamists in their war against Assad.
The Syrian Revolution had been led by the MB from the very start. The Muslim Brotherhood was always most of the opposition in Syria after their horrific defeat at Hama in 1983 by Bashar Assad’s father, Hafez. This battle killed 30,000 people and left the city in ruins.
After that, most Syrian MB fled the country, many leaving for Saudi Arabia and Egypt and others for Europe, mostly Germany. Some were later to become peripherally involved in the 9-11 attack. Membership in the MB become illegal in Syria, and a law was passed mandating the death penalty for membership in this organization. But few were convicted of this crime.
There was a crackdown on the Egyptian MB too at this time, and many of them left for Saudi Arabia also. In the 1980’s, both groups of MB refugees in Saudi Arabia got jobs in schools are religious teachers. It was here that their philosophy married with the Quietist Wahhabis (quietist means they promote peaceful change, not violent change), and the explosive mixture combined to create what become known as Al Qaeda.
It’s quite obvious though that the US knew about the ISIS caliphate before it even happened (How did we know that?) and supported the creation of the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq as a way to attack Syria and Iran, whom the Allies saw as their primary enemies.
Newly-Declassified U.S. Government Documents: The West Supported the Creation of ISIS
By Washington’s Blog
Judicial Watch has – for many years – obtained sensitive U.S. government documents through freedom of information requests and lawsuits.
The government just produced documents to Judicial Watch in response to a freedom of information suit which show that the West has long supported ISIS. The documents were written by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency on August 12, 2012 … years before ISIS burst onto the world stage.
Here are screenshots from the documents. We have highlighted the relevant parts in yellow:
Why is this important? It shows that extreme Muslim terrorists – salafists, Muslims Brotherhood, and AQI (i.e. Al Qaeda in Iraq) – have always been the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.”
This verifies what the alternative media has been saying for years: there aren’t any moderate rebels in Syria (and see this, this and this).
The newly-declassified document continues:
Yes, you read that correctly:
… there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist Principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Deir Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime…In other words, the powers supporting the Syrian opposition – the West, our Gulf allies, and Turkey wanted an Islamic caliphate in order to challenge Syrian president Assad.
Sure, top U.S. generals – and Vice President Joe Biden – have said that America’s closest allies support ISIS. And mainstream American media have called for direct support of ISIS.
But the declassified DIA documents show that the U.S. and the West supported ISIS at its inception … as a way to isolate the Syrian government. And see this.
This is a big deal. A former British Army and Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism intelligence officer and a former MI5 officer confirm that the newly-released documents are a smoking gun.
This is a train wreck long in the making.
