Christian Brothers and Sisters: Did You Know Our Government Is Supporting Islamic Terrorists?

Christian Brothers and Sisters: Did You Know Our Government Is Supporting Islamic Terrorists?

Christians are being persecuted by Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

The “ISIS” Islamic terrorists have literally CRUCIFIED people in Iraq recently, and have marked the houses of Christians … presumably for execution.
They have told Christians in Mosel, “convert to Islam or die“. They have pulled down crosses at churches in Iraq. Thousands of residents of Iraq’s biggest Christian town have been forced to flee their homes as the ISIS killers overran their town and said: “leave, convert or die“.
The ISIS terrorists are not only beheading adult Christians, but they are systematically beheading CHILDREN.
In Syria, rebels fighting against the Syrian government told Christians, “Either you convert to Islam or you will be beheaded.” Syrian rebels slit the throat of Christian man who refused to convert to Islam, taunting his fiance by yelling: “Jesus didn’t come to save him!” And – like the Islamic terrorists in Iraq – they’ve CRUCIFIED Christians.
A former Syrian Jihadi says the rebels have a “9/11 ideology”. Indeed, they’re literally singing Bin Laden’s praises and celebrating the 9/11 attack:
It’s obvious that the Islamic terrorists are threatening Christians. And they’re threatening Jews as well.
Our Government Is BACKING Islamic Terrorists
But did you know that irrefutable proof shows that our government is backing Islamic terrorists?
ABC News reports:
The Sunni rebels [inside Syria] are supported by the Islamist rulers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, as well as the U.S., France, Britain and others.
So the U.S. is directly supporting the terrorists … and close U.S. allies Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey France and Britain are also supporting them.
World Net Daily reports that the U.S. trained Islamic jihadis – who would later join ISIS – in Jordan.
Der Spiegel and the Guardian confirmed that the U.S., France and England trained hundreds if not thousands of Islamic fighters in Jordan.
The Jerusalem Post and Breitbart report that an ISIS fighter says that Turkey funds the terrorist group. Turkey is a member of NATO and – until very recently – a close U.S. ally.
The Independent headlines “Iraq crisis: How Saudi Arabia helped Isis take over the north of the country”:
Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: “The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally ‘God help the Shia’. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them.”
***
There is no doubt about the accuracy of the quote by Prince Bandar, secretary-general of the Saudi National Security Council from 2005 and head of General Intelligence between 2012 and 2014, the crucial two years when al-Qa’ida-type jihadis took over the Sunni-armed opposition in Iraq and Syria. Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute last week, Dearlove, who headed MI6 from 1999 to 2004, emphasised the significance of Prince Bandar’s words, saying that they constituted “a chilling comment that I remember very well indeed”.
He does not doubt that substantial and sustained funding from private donors in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to which the authorities may have turned a blind eye, has played a central role in the Isis surge into Sunni areas of Iraq. He said: “Such things simply do not happen spontaneously.” This sounds realistic since the tribal and communal leadership in Sunni majority provinces is much beholden to Saudi and Gulf paymasters, and would be unlikely to cooperate with Isis without their consent.
***
Unfortunately, Christians in areas captured by Isis are finding this is not true, as their churches are desecrated and they are forced to flee. A difference between al-Qa’ida and Isis is that the latter is much better organised; if it does attack Western targets the results are likely to be devastating.
***
Dearlove … sees Saudi strategic thinking as being shaped by two deep-seated beliefs or attitudes. First, they are convinced that there “can be no legitimate or admissible challenge to the Islamic purity of their Wahhabi credentials as guardians of Islam’s holiest shrines”. But, perhaps more significantly given the deepening Sunni-Shia confrontation, the Saudi belief that they possess a monopoly of Islamic truth leads them to be “deeply attracted towards any militancy which can effectively challenge Shia-dom”.
Western governments traditionally play down the connection between Saudi Arabia and its Wahhabist faith, on the one hand, and jihadism, whether of the variety espoused by Osama bin Laden and al-Qa’ida or by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s Isis. There is nothing conspiratorial or secret about these links: 15 out of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, as was Bin Laden and most of the private donors who funded the operation.
***
But there has always been a second theme to Saudi policy towards al-Qa’ida type jihadis, contradicting Prince Bandar’s approach and seeing jihadis as a mortal threat to the Kingdom. Dearlove illustrates this attitude by relating how, soon after 9/11, he visited the Saudi capital Riyadh with Tony Blair.
He remembers the then head of Saudi General Intelligence “literally shouting at me across his office: ’9/11 is a mere pinprick on the West. In the medium term, it is nothing more than a series of personal tragedies. What these terrorists want is to destroy the House of Saud and remake the Middle East.’” In the event, Saudi Arabia adopted both policies, encouraging the jihadis as a useful tool of Saudi anti-Shia influence abroad but suppressing them at home as a threat to the status quo. It is this dual policy that has fallen apart over the last year.
Saudi sympathy for anti-Shia “militancy” is identified in leaked US official documents. The then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote in December 2009 in a cable released by Wikileaks that “Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, LeT [Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan] and other terrorist groups.”
***
Saudi Arabia and its allies are in practice playing into the hands of Isis which is swiftly gaining full control of the Sunni opposition in Syria and Iraq.
***
For all his gargantuan mistakes, Maliki’s failings are not the reason why the Iraqi state is disintegrating. What destabilised Iraq from 2011 on was the revolt of the Sunni in Syria and the takeover of that revolt by jihadis, who were often sponsored by donors in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates. Again and again Iraqi politicians warned that by not seeking to close down the civil war in Syria, Western leaders were making it inevitable that the conflict in Iraq would restart. “I guess they just didn’t believe us and were fixated on getting rid of [President Bashar al-] Assad,” said an Iraqi leader in Baghdad last week.
Of course, US and British politicians and diplomats would argue that they were in no position to bring an end to the Syrian conflict. But this is misleading. By insisting that peace negotiations must be about the departure of Assad from power, something that was never going to happen since Assad held most of the cities in the country and his troops were advancing, the US and Britain made sure the war would continue.
***
Saudi Arabia has created a Frankenstein’s monster over which it is rapidly losing control. The same is true of its allies such as Turkey which has been a vital back-base for Isis and Jabhat al-Nusra by keeping the 510-mile-long Turkish-Syrian border open.
Remember, Al Qaeda wasn’t even in Iraq until the U.S. invaded that country.
The Daily Beast (a media company formerly owned by Newsweek) notes, in a story entitled “America’s Allies Are Funding ISIS”:
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), now threatening Baghdad, was funded for years by wealthy donors in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, three U.S. allies that have dual agendas in the war on terror.
***
The extremist group that is threatening the existence of the Iraqi state was built and grown for years with the help of elite donors from American supposed allies in the Persian Gulf region.
***
A key component of ISIS’s support came from wealthy individuals in the Arab Gulf States of Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Sometimes the support came with the tacit nod of approval from those regimes ….
Gulf donors support ISIS, the Syrian branch of al Qaeda called the al Nusrah Front, and other Islamic groups fighting on the ground in Syria ….
Donors in Kuwait, the Sunni majority Kingdom on Iraq’s border, have taken advantage of Kuwait’s weak financial rules to channel hundreds of millions of dollars to a host of Syrian rebel brigades, according to a December 2013 report by The Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank that receives some funding from the Qatari government.
***
“The U.S. Treasury is aware of this activity and has expressed concern about this flow of private financing. But Western diplomats’ and officials’ general response has been a collective shrug,” the report states.
When confronted with the problem, Gulf leaders often justify allowing their Salafi constituents to fund Syrian extremist groups ….
That’s what Prince Bandar bin Sultan, head of Saudi intelligence since 2012 and former Saudi ambassador in Washington, reportedly told Secretary of State John Kerry when Kerry pressed him on Saudi financing of extremist groups earlier this year. Saudi Arabia has retaken a leadership role in past months guiding help to the Syrian armed rebels, displacing Qatar, which was seen as supporting some of the worst of the worst organizations on the ground.
Business Insider notes:
The Islamic State for Iraq and the Levant … is also receiving private donations from wealthy Sunnis in American-allied Gulf nations such as Kuwait, Qatar, and, possibly, Saudi Arabia.
***
As far back as March, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has accused Saudi Arabia and Qatar of openly funding ISIS as his troops were fighting them.
“I accuse them of inciting and encouraging the terrorist movements. I accuse them of supporting them politically and in the media, of supporting them with money and by buying weapons for them,” he told France 24 television.
In Kuwait, donors have taken advantage of weak terror financing control laws to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to various Syrian rebel groups, including ISIS, according to a December 2013 report by The Brookings Institution, which receives some funding from the government of Qatar.
“Over the last two and a half years, Kuwait has emerged as a financing and organizational hub for charities and individuals supporting Syria’s myriad rebel groups,” the report said, adding that money from donors in other gulf nations is collected in Kuwait before traveling through Turkey or Jordan to reach the insurgents.
***
Ironically, Kuwait is a staging area for individuals funneling money to an ISIS organization that is aligned with whatever is left of the Baathist regime once led by Saddam Hussein. In 1990, the U.S. went to war with Iraq over Hussein’s invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
We noted last year:
Most of the Syrian “rebels” are Al Qaeda. The U.S. government has designated these guys as terrorists. Things are getting worse, not better: Al Qaeda is gaining more and more power among the rebels. The U.S., Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel have been backing these guys for years. Indeed, we’ve long known that most of the weapons we’re shipping to Syria are ending up in the hands of Al Qaeda. And they apparently have chemical weapons.
In fact, Obama signed a special exemption to the law barring arming of terrorists.
We’re now shipping heavy weapons to the Islamic extremists such as anti-tank (“TOW” missiles) and possibly even anti-aircraft weapons

Most of those arms have now ended up in the hands of ISIS.
And the Jihadist credited with being the “military mastermind” of the recent ISIS victories is named Tarkhan Batirashvili. He’s not Arabic, but rather Chechen. He doesn’t look like an Arab: he’s fair-skinned, with a long red beard.
Who are Chechens? Their country – Chechnya – was part of the Soviet Union. After the USSR broke up, the Chechens launched wars and terrorist attacks to try to gain independence from Russia.
The Wall Street Journal reported last year that Batrashvili has made the wars in Syria and Iraq “into a geopolitical struggle between the US and Russia.”
Sadly, the U.S. has supported Sunni Islamic terrorists in Chechnya as a way to harass Russia. (And our backing of such extremists in Chechnya may well have led to the Boston bombings).
As shown below, the U.S. has been backing Islamic terrorists as part of its geopolitical struggle against Russia for many decades.
We Created Terrorists to Fight the Soviets in Afghanistan
Top American officials admit that the U.S. armed and supported Bin Laden and the other Mujahadin – which later morphed into Al Qaeda – in the 1970s, in order to fight the Soviets.
Jimmy Carter’s National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski admitted on CNN that the U.S. organized and supported Bin Laden and the other originators of “Al Qaeda” in the 1970s to fight the Soviets. Brzezinski told Al Qaeda’s forefathers – the Mujahadin:
We know of their deep belief in God – that they’re confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over – there is yours – and you’ll go back to it some day, because your fight will prevail, and you’ll have your homes, your mosques, back again, because your cause is right, and God is on your side.
CIA director and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates confirmed in his memoir that the U.S. backed the Mujahadin in the 1970s.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agrees:
MSNBC reported in 1998:
As his unclassified CIA biography states, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan after Moscow’s invasion in 1979. By 1984, he was running a front organization known as Maktab al-Khidamar – the MAK – which funneled money, arms and fighters from the outside world into the Afghan war.
What the CIA bio conveniently fails to specify (in its unclassified form, at least) is that the MAK was nurtured by Pakistan’s state security services, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, the CIA’s primary conduit for conducting the covert war against Moscow’s occupation.
***
The CIA, concerned about the factionalism of Afghanistan … found that Arab zealots who flocked to aid the Afghans were easier to “read” than the rivalry-ridden natives. While the Arab volunteers might well prove troublesome later, the agency reasoned, they at least were one-dimensionally anti-Soviet for now. So bin Laden, along with a small group of Islamic militants from Egypt, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestinian refugee camps all over the Middle East, became the “reliable” partners of the CIA in its war against Moscow.
***
To this day, those involved in the decision to give the Afghan rebels access to a fortune in covert funding and top-level combat weaponry continue to defend that move in the context of the Cold War. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a senior Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee making those decisions, told my colleague Robert Windrem that he would make the same call again today even knowing what bin Laden would do subsequently. “It was worth it,” he said.
“Those were very important, pivotal matters that played an important role in the downfall of the Soviet Union,” he said.
Indeed, the U.S. started backing Al Qaeda’s forefathers even before the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. As Brzezinski told Le Nouvel Observateur in a 1998 interview:
Question: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.
***
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
The Washington Post reported in 2002:
The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings ….
The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books ….
The Council on Foreign Relations notes:
The 9/11 Commission report (PDF) released in 2004 said some of Pakistan’s religious schools or madrassas served as “incubators for violent extremism.” Since then, there has been much debate over madrassas and their connection to militancy.
***
New madrassas sprouted, funded and supported by Saudi Arabia and U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, where students were encouraged to join the Afghan resistance.
And see this.
Veteran journalist Robert Dreyfuss writes:
For half a century the United States and many of its allies saw what I call the “Islamic right” as convenient partners in the Cold War.
***
In the decades before 9/11, hard-core activists and organizations among Muslim fundamentalists on the far right were often viewed as allies for two reasons, because they were seen a fierce anti-communists and because the opposed secular nationalists such as Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, Iran’s Mohammed Mossadegh.
***
By the end of the 1950s, rather than allying itself with the secular forces of progress in the Middle East and the Arab world, the United States found itself in league with Saudi Arabia’s Islamist legions. Choosing Saudi Arabia over Nasser’s Egypt was probably the single biggest mistake the United States has ever made in the Middle East.
A second big mistake … occurred in the 1970s, when, at the height of the Cold War and the struggle for control of the Middle East, the United States either supported or acquiesced in the rapid growth of Islamic right in countries from Egypt to Afghanistan. In Egypt, Anwar Sadat brought the Muslim Brotherhood back to Egypt. In Syria, the United States, Israel, and Jordan supported the Muslim Brotherhood in a civil war against Syria. And … Israel quietly backed Ahmed Yassin and the Muslim Brotherhood in the West Bank and Gaza, leading to the establishment of Hamas.
Still another major mistake was the fantasy that Islam would penetrate the USSR and unravel the Soviet Union in Asia. It led to America’s support for the jihadists in Afghanistan. But … America’s alliance with the Afghan Islamists long predated the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and had its roots in CIA activity in Afghanistan in the 1960s and in the early and mid-1970s. The Afghan jihad spawned civil war in Afghanistan in the late 1980s, gave rise to the Taliban, and got Osama bin Laden started on building Al Qaeda.
Would the Islamic right have existed without U.S. support? Of course. This is not a book for the conspiracy-minded. But there is no question that the virulence of the movement that we now confront—and which confronts many of the countries in the region, too, from Algeria to India and beyond—would have been significantly less had the United States made other choices during the Cold War.
In other words, if the U.S. and our allies hadn’t backed the radical violent Muslims instead of more stable, peaceful groups in the Middle East, radical Islam wouldn’t have grown so large.
Pakistani nuclear scientist and peace activist Perez Hoodbhoy writes:
Every religion, including Islam, has its crazed fanatics. Few in numbers and small in strength, they can properly be assigned to the “loony” section. This was true for Islam as well until 1979, the year of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Indeed, there may well have been no 911 but for this game-changer.
***
Officials like Richard Perle, Assistant Secretary of Defense, immediately saw Afghanistan not as the locale of a harsh and dangerous conflict to be ended but as a place to teach the Russians a lesson. Such “bleeders” became the most influential people in Washington .
***
The task of creating such solidarity fell upon Saudi Arabia, together with other conservative Arab monarchies. This duty was accepted readily and they quickly made the Afghan Jihad their central cause…. But still more importantly, to go heart and soul for jihad was crucial at a time when Saudi legitimacy as the guardians of Islam was under strong challenge by Iran, which pointed to the continued occupation of Palestine by America’s partner, Israel. An increasing number of Saudis were becoming disaffected by the House of Saud – its corruption, self-indulgence, repression, and closeness to the US. Therefore, the Jihad in Afghanistan provided an excellent outlet for the growing number of militant Sunni activists in Saudi Arabia, and a way to deal with the daily taunts of the Iranian clergy.
***
The bleeders soon organized and armed the Great Global Jihad, funded by Saudi Arabia, and executed by Pakistan. A powerful magnet for militant Sunni activists was created by the US. The most hardened and ideologically dedicated men were sought on the logic that they would be the best fighters. Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the Jihad.
American universities produced books for Afghan children that extolled the virtues of jihad and of killing communists. Readers browsing through book bazaars in Rawalpindi and Peshawar can, even today, sometimes find textbooks produced as part of the series underwritten by a USAID $50 million grant to the University of Nebraska in the 1980′s . These textbooks sought to counterbalance Marxism through creating enthusiasm in Islamic militancy. They exhorted Afghan children to “pluck out the eyes of the Soviet enemy and cut off his legs”. Years after the books were first printed they were approved by the Taliban for use in madrassas – a stamp of their ideological correctness and they are still widely available in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
At the international level, Radical Islam went into overdrive as its superpower ally, the United States, funneled support to the mujahideen. Ronald Reagan feted jihadist leaders on the White House lawn, and the U.S. press lionized them.
And the chief of the visa section at the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (J. Michael Springmann, who is now an attorney in private practice) says that the CIA insisted that visas be issued to Afghanis so they could travel to the U.S. to be trained in terrorism in the United States, and then sent back to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.
CIA Trained Ramzi Yousef and Other Key Terrorists
Moreover, Jane’s Defense Weekly – a respected and widely-cited British military journal – reported in October 2001 that Ramzi Yousef and the other World Trade Center bombers were trained by the CIA and ISI (via the Internet Archive):
Pakistan’s sinister Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) remains the key to providing accurate information to the US-led alliance in its war against Osama bin Laden and his Taliban hosts in Afghanistan. Known as Pakistan’s ‘secret army’ and ‘invisible government’, its shadowy past is linked to political assassinations and the smuggling of narcotics as well as nuclear and missile components.
***
The ISI chief, Lt Gen Mahmood Ahmed, who was visiting Washington when New York and the Pentagon were attacked, agreed to share desperately needed information about the Taliban with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other US security officials. The CIA has well-established links with the ISI, having trained it in the 1980s to ‘run’ Afghan mujahideen (holy Muslim warriors), Islamic fundamentalists from Pakistan as well as Arab volunteers by providing them with arms and logistic support to evict the Soviet occupation of Kabul.
***
After the ignominious Soviet withdrawal from Kabul in 1989 the ISI, determined to achieve its aim of extending Pakistan’s ‘strategic depth’ and creating an Islamic Caliphate by controlling Afghanistan and the Central Asian Republics, began sponsoring a little-known Pathan student movement in Kandhar that emerged as the Taliban. The ISI used funds from Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s federal government and from overseas Islamic remittances to enrol graduates from thousands of madrassahs (Muslim seminaries) across Pakistan to bolster the Taliban (Islamic students), who were led by the reclusive Mullah Muhammad Omar. Thereafter, through a ruthless combination of bribing Afghanistan’s ruling tribal coalition (which was riven with internecine rivalry), guerrilla tactics and military support the ISI installed the Taliban regime in Kabul in 1996. It then helped to extend its control over 95 per cent of the war-torn country and bolster its military capabilities. The ISI is believed to have posted additional operatives in Afghanistan just before the 11 September attacks in the US. Along with Osama bin Laden, intelligence sources say a number of other infamous names emerged from the 1980s ISI-CIA collaboration in Afghanistan. These included Mir Aimal Kansi, who assassinated two CIA officers outside their office in Langley, Virginia, in 1993, Ramzi Yousef and his accomplices involved in the New York World Trade Center bombing five years later as well as a host of powerful international narcotics smugglers.
Ramzi Yousef was not only the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but also a key member of the Bojinka Plot … the blueprint for 9/11. And see this.
Bosnia
As professor of strategy at the Naval War College and former National Security Agency intelligence analyst and counterintelligence officer John R. Schindler documents, the U.S. supported Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda terrorists in Bosnia.
U.S. Let Al Qaeda Escape After 9/11
Whatever its origins, you would think – at the least – the U.S. hammered Al Qaeda after 9/11.
In reality:
NBC News notes that the U.S. allowed an airlift of Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan in 2001
Several high-level U.S. government officials claim that the U.S. intentionally let Bin Laden escape from Afghanistan
We Support Saudi Arabia and Other Sponsors of Terrorism
We noted above that Saudi Arabia is backing the ISIS terrorists. The Saudi monarchy is one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, and yet the U.S. has been heavily backing it for decades.
The Saudis support the most extreme strain of Islamic terrorism, and may well have backed the 9/11 hijackers And see this.
The U.S. also heavily backs the other supporters of the ISIS terrorists, including Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. In other words, we back direct sponsors of terrorists.
Conclusion: A Long Legacy of Backing Evil
57 years ago, the U.S. and Britain approved the use of Islamic extremists – including the Muslim Brotherhood – in Syria.
According to NBC News, the U.S. and Israel are supporting terrorists in Iran.
And the U.S. intentionally armed Al Qaeda in Libya. Our backing of Sunni extremists in Libya led to attacks on our embassies in Libya and Tunisia.
The bottom line, sadly, is that the U.S. has backed the world’s most dangerous and radical Muslim terrorists for decades. And see this.
Postscript: A former high-level Al Qaeda commander has repeatedly alleged that ISIS works for the CIA.

ALERT: Emergency Update: US government behind Ebola outbreak? Evidence grows of false flag attack

ALERT: Emergency Update: US government behind Ebola outbreak? Evidence grows of false flag attack

Vatic Note:  I said in the beginning, they would not release their bioweapon unless they already had a vaccine in place, tested and confirmed effective, in order to protect themselves.   Remember Bush Jrs'  "CIPRO" he and White House staff took 30 days before the anthrax attack done right after 9-11?

Then "coincidentally" about 12 microbiologists had died by then and they all had DNA sequencing  background, which gives us the location of the bioweapons facility it came from?  To date 89 microbiologists have been murdered world wide.  So their depopulation attempt, is probably going to be by pandemic if we don't get the word out before it happens.

They are stupid if they do the ebola pandemic now that they have been seriously busted for it.  It can prove "attempted Murder", if they continue on with this particular one.  The US gave an Ebola development contract to a Canadian company prior to the outbreak.

Our tax payers paid for the potential pandemic and now we know why the gov, FEMA, specifically;  had ordered those body coffins in plastic to bury 3 people in one plastic casket.  They were distributed across the country in huge numbers.  We even showed photos of the coffins as they sat in large open facilities in 4 different regional locations. We just didn't know why they were ordered.... did anyone ask anybody???  Probably not!

Now, this below states that all African states with the outbreak will be put under the WHO, which is a globalist institution and so they are defacto globalizing without our permission.  But then, it was recommended in the 1966 Iron Mountain report to use an ecodisaster and other such horrors, to force the world to globalize.

Now, WHY are they doing this to Africa, which is one of the poorest continents on the planet and their people are too poor to resist their tyranny, so it has to be for some other reason, than resistance?   Well, I just read that through satellite use all these gas and oil fields are able to be identified and passed onto the banker owned energy companies.  We will be doing a blog on that one soon.

So that is why Palestine, Ukraine and now the continent of Africa are all under serious assault using genocide by guns and bioweapons to do the depopulating.   It appears that  Africa has the largest reserves of oil and gas on the planet..... no surprise here.

So, this is a RICO conspiracy to commit felony 1st degree murder, which means we can arrest the company owners and take all of their assets including the company, and all land they have grabbed since identifying all these oil and gas fields.  That should pay off all nations debt to the bankers if the people are smart enough to move on it. Read and see what you think.  Jane is a scientist and a very excellent researcher and has seldom if ever, been wrong about these things.

*US government-funded Ebola trial on humans linked to Ebola outbreak
*WHO establishes “Sub regional control centre in West Africa”
*UK GPs put on Ebola alert
*Germany establishes Ebola isolation unit

The US Department of Defense (DoD) funded an Ebola trial on humans which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone, it has emerged.

The DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct Ebola research, which apparently involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with the deadly Ebola virus.

The DoD is listed as a collaborator in a “First in Human” Ebola clinical trial (NCT02041715, which started in January 2014 shortly before an Ebola epidemic was declared in West Africa in March.

Disturbingly, the US government has an viral fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Kenema,  a town at the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.http://vhfc.org/consortium/partners/kgh

There has been speculation as to whether a mysterious 5th cohort added to the Tekmira clinical trial was linked to the outbreak in Guinea.

“Also odd is that according to the old ICON link they added a 5th cohort to the single-ascending dose part. Only 4 had been planned. I initially thought that maybe due to a good safety profile they wanted to test an even higher dose than the top dose originally planned…In retrospect, has this been an emergency cohort they wanted tested before sending over the supplies to Guinea,” writes a blogger on March 30th.
http://rnaitherapeutics.blogspot.gr/2014/03/as-ebola-spreads-fear-in-western-africa.html

It cannot be ruled out this “fifth cohort” were people infected in the US bioterrorism laboratory in Sierra Leone in order to start a pandemic.

Four out of five families who contracted  Ebola in 1979 received the deadly virus from a local hospital, according to a World Health Organization report from 1983.

“Between 31 July and 6 October 1979, 34 cases of Ebola virus disease (22 of which were fatal) occurred among five families in a rural district of southern Sudan; the disease was introduced into four of the families from a local hospital. Chains of secondary spread within the family …”

Big Pharma and government have a history of conducting secret medical experiements. In 2008, Polish doctors and nurses were put on trial after 21 homeless people died as a result of a secret bird flu vaccine trial.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/2235676/Homeless-people-die-after-bird-flu-vaccine-trial-in-Poland.html

The events in West Africa are eerily similar to the Baxter incident in 2009 when 72 kilos of seasonal flu vaccine were contaminated by the deadly bird flu virus, nearly triggering a global pandemic and, crucially, pandemic plans allowing for forced vaccination among other martial law measures.
The fact that this incident occurred in Baxter’s biosecurity level 3 facilities virtually rules out an accident. The Austrian state prosecutors opened an investigation as confirmed in a letter by the Austrian health ministry to me.
The US government is the main funder of Ebola research and partners with Texas University and other organizations to develop not only the deadly pathogen but also the vaccine.
http://www.handelszeitung.ch/unternehmen/ebola-pharmariesen-kehren-dem-virus-den-ruecken-zu-589677

The UK’s GlaxoSmithKline is also involved in Ebola vaccine research through its Swiss subsidiary Okairos, bought in 2013 just in time for the Ebola outbreak.

The US government funding of Ebola trials on healthy humans comes amid warnings by top scientists in Harvard and Yale that such virus experiments risk triggering a worldwide pandemic.  (VN:  You know, those two Israeli supported Institutions of learning, using secret societies to recruit skull and bones type people who would willingly do as this has been done.)
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/20/virus-experiments-risk-global-pandemic

Also, Lord May,  former president of the Royal Society and chief science adviser to the UK government recently called the development of a new more deadly airborne flu virus ” absolutely crazy and  “exceedingly dangerous.”http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jun/11/crazy-dangerous-creation-deadly-airborne-flu-virus XX

The Ebola outbreak reeks of yet another false flag outbreak orchestrated by the US government in order to remove our liberties. Eleven West African countries affected by the outbreak are being put increasingly under the control of the World Health Organization, which has established a sub regional control centre in Guinea to take charge of essential government functions.
http://accra.sites.unicnetwork.org/2014/07/04/1528/

Sheltering Ebola victims of infection in hospital has been declared a crime.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-28060966

This as Ebola patients — suspecting that they are being infected in the hospitals themselves — are abandoning the hospitals in droves.http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.nation.co.ke%2Fnews%2FEbola-Outbreak-Health-Sierra-Leone-Hospitals%2F-%2F1950946%2F2365386%2F-%2Fformat%2Fxhtml%2F-%2F766f5e%2F-%2Findex.html&ei=ENW6U8rTPIvK0AXixYHwBg&usg=AFQjCNHonUt931BhIpeOKrlcXyhXT_4Dxw

Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world and the Kenema region is one of the poorest regions with an illiteracy rate of about 50%.

Unscrupulous elements in the US government and Big Pharma may well have decided that this part of the world is an ideal place to start a pandemic which can then be spread, through forced vaccinations and infusions, to other parts of the world.
Every GP in the UK has been sent new guidelines to deal with suspected cases of Ebola.
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/british-gps-warned-check-deadly-ebola-symptoms-1455687

German media such as Bild newspaper is also hyping the Ebola virus.http://www.bild.de/news/ausland/ebola/so-soll-ebola-unter-kontrolle-gebracht-werden-36689198.bild.html

A hospital in Munich, Germany, has already installed a special isolation centre to treat Ebola patients. (VN: or to ensure they die. )http://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/erding/flughafen-ebola-kennt-keine-grenzen-1.1949349

811 looks like last chance limit day

TUESDAY is highest probability day of week per market history

2AM EST = 9AM IRAQ = 3PM TOKYO giving all markets same day access

Sound reasonable?

********

Marcia > wilbur grodan August 11, 2014 at 8:50pm What is "last chance limit day"?

Ranger4564 > Marcia August 11, 2014 at 9:41pm Marcia, I'm speculating here, but I think Wilbur is referring to Limit trading... combining everyday speak with trading speak. I think Wilbur is saying today looks like the last chance people will have to place Limit orders for whatever is in question... probably Forex trades. I don't mean forever, I mean before the RV... which is what I feel Wilbur means. See definition. Should help clarify.

[beach] 8-11-2014 Poppy3 just got another text saying turki will remain at least for a transition period of the new goi, so that sounds very good. We know he has wanted to resign for some time and tried under maliki but that was because of disagreement with the position maliki kept putting him in. This is sounding very promising. We can see for sure though they are not status quo they are in a urgent move forward mode. With the announcement of the new pm we have now increased our possibility of the rv by 50% or better at anytime now.

[BigDog-OH] One day a blond went out to check her mail box. There was nothing in it. Her neighbor who was also out there gives her a weird look. An hour later she goes back out to her mailbox and goes back in cause there was nothing in it and her neighbor goes "What the hell is she doing?" An hour later she goes back out side and looks in the mailbox and there is nothing in it. Finally the neighbor gets curious enough to ask her what she is doing. The blone says, "My stupid computer keeps saying you've got mail."

She showed him a bottle costing $50.00. "That's a bit much," said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. "That's still quite a bit," Tim complained. Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle. "What I mean," said Tim, "is I'd like to see something really cheap." The clerk handed him a mirror.

Thanks to H.

Regarding the interdiction of child trafficking and sacrificial rituals by our Command

Communique No. 1 – August 8, 2014, Brussels
Since mid July, our Central Command has operated high grade surveillance and intelligence operations against two child torture networks associated with the catholic Ninth Circle cult, based in Dublin, Ireland and Montreal, Canada.
Since July 10, informants have provided the names of participants in the rituals which were originally scheduled for August 15. The same ritual tortures and killings also occur systematically each month at the new moon at these and other locations, including forest groves near Brussels and Zwolle, Holland. The informants also confirmed the location of the August 15 killings to be at Pro Cathedral in Dublin and Marie Reine du Monde Cathedral in Montreal, within sub-basement crypts in both churches.
The same informants have also confirmed that the children and adolescents used in these rituals are provided through catholic orphanages in the two respective cities and through the Ndrangheta criminal syndicate that works closely with the police and Vatican agents in Canada and Ireland.
Our Command has trained and mobilized two six man Units to intervene and stop these scheduled cult sacrifices on August 15. The Units are trained, armed professionals.
On August 2, a highly placed informant notified our Command that the Montreal cult gathering has been relocated to an underground experimental facility on the grounds of McGill University. This relocation was prompted by the presence of “some very prominent men” at the upcoming August 15 ritual “including (George) Soros, local catholic archbishop Christian Lepine and corporate officials of the Cargill corporation”.
There has been no evidence that the Dublin cult gathering has been moved from its Pro Cathedral venue under the sponsorship of Archbishop Dermot Martin.
Our Command is continuing with its operations at all of these suspected locations on and before August 15, to stop these child sacrificial rituals and detain all of the participants for public trial, employing whatever force is required.
Untrained supporters of our actions are advised for their own safety not to intervene in our operations but to hold public information vigils outside both of these cathedrals during the day and evening of August 15, and to contact itccscentral@gmail.com for specific instructions.

T = Tony DC = DC Guy C = Caller
TONY - Good afternoon, TNT. it's Monday, August 11, 2014. Today's is going to be a little different. Actually, we're going to give as much as we can. We want to give you a true vision of it. I got requests this weekend to send out a tweet but I didn't want to be accused of messing things up. So I left it alone. It is a great day and going to be a great day. This morning we were asked to not mess this up, don't do anything stupid and be careful what you say. So we're going to absolutely do that.
T - When we left on Friday we were expecting life-changing moments. What happened?
DC - In the Mosque, on TV, radio, etc. everything said they'd announce the PM on Sunday. Even Obama got on the news Thursday night and Saturday addressing the situation in Iraq. He said they'd appoint their PM in a few days. Everything was going fine, until Mailiki had tanks roll through the streets - special forces - as a show of intimidation as well as to show he'd take over if something happened bad. There were some skirmishes and his guards died.
DC - The key personnel were "hunkered down" in all the right spots to be protected.
T - On the last call we said certain people were being guarded but they hoped he wouldn't be this dumb. So this didn't take anybody by surprise. They were well-prepared.
DC - They were highly concerned about him not going peacefully. That thru off the PM schedule and the rest of the world said to Pres. Masoum to get it done.
DC - They said it (the problem) will go away if the world knows who the new boss is. So this morning they made it official, published it in the Gazette - made it official, that Abadi is the new PM. They have a judiciary ruling so it's unlikely changes will be made. Plus, his most loyal followers wanted out and said they wouldn't stand with Maliki anymore. It gave legitimacy to the new PM.
T - The US Admin already made it clear they would back the new president before Sunday. So we knew who the new PM was. Because Iraq is so vital the entire world is taking a strong interest in this. They needed a cabinet member with strong Sunni backing because they felt left out by Maliki. All 3 candidates were good and all agreed a strong Sunni and Kurd presence was needed. Abadi has good reps and connections with all the sects and this will have a very calming affect throughout the country.
DC - When Maliki directed tanks into Baghdad, some people thought it may have been ISIS coming in. A lot of military leaders knew what was going on, some who were loyal to Mailki. So, people with personal relationships, to the US military, friends, etc. are saying they won't put up with anymore Saddaam Hussein antics so they need to back off. What is important to know is that some of his staunchest supporters backed off when he started the tank roll into the city.
T - This is the real world. Some people were offered money. Some were offered to be put in that deck of cards from years ago. Some were actually killed in the firefight. We looked at all the new from around the world and we keep seeing "Iraqi crisis" but it's going from crisis to Christmas.
DC - Bottom line is that once that all got done legitimately and published in the Gazette, plus put on the news locally and around the world and the new PM stated they'd have an inclusive gov't. His cabinet members are almost nearly formed. The CB said "we're good, let's go" and they're ready with a timeline, which we were asked not to share. The rest of the world is saying "let's go." That's what is occurring right now. We can't get into the exact timeline of the rollout. But the key part is done.
T - All the news over the weekend is something we had to go through. We were well-prepared for it. Now at this point it's changing their perspective over there. The military is getting paid with the new rate today. Money speaks volumes over there - cash money! Either take the money or get your face put in the deck of cards. They're making it known throughout the country they're doing something different today. They are re-establishing who's in charge now. This will be a fast process.
DC - If you remember last year they had riots because of all the promises they made they couldn't keep. They started paying over 7 different groups. People are starving, it's 125 degrees, no water, no electricity, etc. so they started paying everybody and that calmed them down.
T - Officially they're telling them today is a day of change. The US is now backing them, along with the Brits and NATO. Over the weekend, on Saturday, Maliki moved stuff out of his office and started burning documents. Then on Sunday he changed his mind. But things are not as bad as it is portrayed to be. It may sound bad but it is right where we need it to be. It can't go on forever.
DC - The US Security Council is jubilant. The IMF is coordinating timelines and rollout schedules, meeting with banks. Banks are ready, the Fed, UST, Homeland Security, etc. now are meeting. I know of 5-6 meetings nationally and worldwide to prepare on the schedule. Are there people who want to delay this further? Yes, it will be that way until it's done. But now that Iraq is a legitimate gov't the momentum is key now that they have a PM. There is wonderful momentum pushing forward now. Can they delay it a few hours? Yes, but I'm not worried about it.
T - So, let's answer some questions. We can't go into a lot of detail because we've been asked not to. DC - I never believed that we could be used as a delay but high-up people told us we were. The nice part is we're trying to do good things. We will comply and not cause any problems.
Q&A begins: ( Again, I will not transcribe "pay it forward"comments. Looking for news and intel...)
[Bank story about how WF is denying they're involved with the dinar]
T - Why would consistently put out the same denial? Because it has not happened. They can't control it and it hasn't happened so they are not going to put themselves out there. What if what happened over the weekend blew up? When Kuwait RV'd their currency after the war all the foreigners got rich and walked off their jobs. If WF had told their employees about this, the day we RV they all would walk off the job. We understand why they're not telling them.
C - The lady I talked to in the main foreign currency department at WF disputes that call centers and exchange centers were being called in to be ready.
T - As God is my witness I know they have. I know the employees on the teams. I understand her telling you that.
DC - I knew where a team was going to report too and I went to where I knew it would happen and at 4 am they all showed up. I did this consistently. We have talked to quite a few folks who are involved in this. Sometimes we have 13 different people telling us the exact same story from banks across the country. I'm not just that good to make up this stuff.
C - I still have to believe her when she says they have never been involved in selling the dinar.
T - Most banks have stopped selling it lately. I have a receipt right here from a bank purchase. It's going to be this way until they make the announcement. And there are going to be a lot of mad bank personnel.
DC - You need to Google this: Bank of Ireland sold their currency department to WF in '08 or '09. At that time they had $6B in dinar right there. It's public knowledge. They knew what was going on.
C - When we go to the bank will they have all the rates available?
T - We don't know yet. We don't have the package yet. They have to do something to talk to the general public. They have to have a plan to get the info out to the masses.
C - Have they officially sworn in the new PM?
T - It's in the Gazette and is being shown on CNN and in the US news. We got it from other countries before we heard it here. Yes, it's official.
C - Are there any other obstacles that could delay the process?
DC - There are people who believe this should be delayed. We've always known this. But they are being managed extremely well now in a positive way. Not everyone will be holding hands as we skip across the finish line. But the vast majority of folks are on board.
C - What about political appointees?
T - There are 3 left to be filled but they shouldn't hold this up.
C - My family is nagging me.
T - When people call you to nag you, they are not doing their own research to understand this. When knew on Friday, when it was to go on Sunday. If we had told you this, we'd have heard, "wrong again. you don't know what you're talking about." Peeps don't understand they decided to have another meeting. People that aren't listening aren't going to understand. When they won't take the time to listen to a call, read up, study history, they just miss out.
DC - I'm going through the same darn thing in my house. Everybody is frustrated with these delays. There are so moving parts and it changes so fast. It's difficult to describe to this to people.
T - I don't go through that at my house. My wife just says "yeah, yeah, yeah." LOL!
C - So, we're just waiting for papers to be signed?
T - No, everything's been signed. The announcement has been made.
C - How soon do you think Maliki will be dealt with?
DC - It's occurring as we speak and they're over halfway there. The majority is done, per some texts I'm getting now. I think today, tonight, by in the morning this will be over. Some involved didn't know they were involved in a coup.
T - You have to realize that by this morning they are missing some people.
C - So, the UST, WF, etc. all want this to happen. It seems the only group left who doesn't want it to happen is the Admin.
T - I won't answer that question.
C - If there was one question to ask DC what would it be?
T - I wouldn't ask him anything. It's just a matter of time. We crossed the biggest issue when we saw it on CNN this morning and knew it's now known internationally.
C - Is WF 2 days ahead of the other banks for when we call for our 800 appointment? DC - They are all queuing up right now. There are meetings going on now since 10AM this morning now that the PM was announced. Our understanding is there will be very little variance between banks. You will be able to choose your bank. Everybody will have to be very flexible because they've changed the rollout procedures - 3 times since last week. They want everybody to be calm and move through the line as smoothly as possible.
C - I don't understand trusts and can't talk to an attorney yet. When we go to the bank and find there's a cap, I don't understand how that would work.
DC - First and foremost, figure out who's the best trust attorney in your area (in the same state). Ask an attorney who they'd use to draw up their own trust docs. They can help you with putting money into trusts. We understand that the contract will have a very limited timeline.
T - She wants to know how to work around any caps on how much you can exchange.
DC - We're going to stay away from that topic.
T - There are some work-arounds. Check the forum.
C - I want to use a different currency to payoff my reserves. Can I still get a contract rate for those reserves?
T - There is a plan for getting contract rates on reserves.
C - About a month ago Forex was making contracts available at a certain rate. Did that take place?
DC - It's best not to touch that.
C - One of the blogs indicated that some private groups had exchanged.
T - We can't answer that.
C - So, we're just waiting for papers to be signed?
T - No, everything's been signed. The announcement has been made.
C - I've been listening to a lot people talking and talking and not asking a question. My question is it possible for anyone here in the US to use family/friends abroad to exchange for them? They've already given it to them.
DC - On the normal street rate, no, it's very straight-forward. It's a non-event. Shouldn't be an issue and almost every country should have it, tho not immediately. As long as they handle foreign currency it should be fine. The rate of exchange will be fixed on the USD.
DC - On the normal street rate, yes, it's very straight-forward.....
11:54 AM [lurker] DC - In other countries the rates will be different and they will have to pay those countries' taxes, too.
C - I've researched the ZIM and found it's not legal tender right now. Zimbabwe is using the USD and British pound.
T - The dinar is not legal tender right now either. Africa is the new frontier, there is so much hidden wealth.
DC - The legal tender issue is that if you're traveling there you can use that currency there. It's legal tender in their country. I'm a huge fan of Africa and have enjoyed the incredibly diverse Northern Arabian countries, to the Sahara, to the coastal regions. It is the least developed of all the continents. A lot of humanitarian and business development will occur there. I already own a business in Africa and think there is a lot of potential there.
C - Do they really use those high denominations in Africa?
T - The 50T and 100T are their notes.
DC - Inflation was nuts over there. Lot of them use USD.
DC - Well guys. Thanks for sharing your Pay-It-Forward ideas. Your personal convictions are dear to me. We do this as volunteers and want to keep that giving mindset foremost. Everyone should have your plan together, including future income security. Spend time on that first. In summary: everything in Iraq is wonderful. The PM drama has subsided in the past 2 hours, per texts I've been getting. It's becoming more secure and stable by the minute. The new PM has triggered events and we are all extremely optimistic that the timeline is close.
T - We expected great things over the weekend and we were almost there. But it's been overcome and it's full-steam ahead now. I don't expect it to take a long time but I don't expect it to happen in the next hour either. It still could be a tremendous week, month for us. We're in a good place. In reality it's closer here than anything else. The sky isn't falling. All you see on TV isn't happening either. They are 5-6 hours behind. Everything we're hearing now is good stuff. I'm hoping this was our last call in this manner and the next one is the one you've been waiting for. If something really good or bad happens I will send out a tweet. Enjoy the rest of your day.

The MEAT of Today's Call 08.11.14 - Wowwee Zoweee Info!

The MEAT of Today's Call 08.11.14 - Wowwee Zoweee Info!
  1. Tony didn't send out an update tweet this weekend because he didn't want to be ACCUSED of interfering.  Not even HALF as bad as the news portrays, though...
  2. DC says over the weekend Maliki rolled TANKS through the streets on Sunday and their were some skirmishes over control of the country!  But, this was an anticipated move and key personnel were safely guarded as mentioned on Friday.  Maliki was defeated and suffered fatalities. 
  3. New PM is now officially published in the Gazette. Al- Ahbadi is the PM.  And even Maliki's devout followers were disgusted with Maliki's tactics and now are backing the President's choice of PM AND the PM, himself. New PM is now actively administrating and announcing inclusivity and reconciliation among all parties. 
  4. Deescalation is paramount now and is currently underway. Military is getting paid at new rate and their allegiance is getting re-oriented to new democracy or else.  Very calming effect on the entire situation.  Rich people don't riot, says DC.
  5. RV is imminent and Tony and DC asked not to give a timeline.
  6. UN is jubilant over deescalation and Washington is meeting right now to establish THE plan for execution of the RV. There is STILL people wanting to delay!!!  But, momentum is on our side!
  7. As bad as the week-end was it brought everything to a head, finally.  And, it got resolved.  We are now on the downhill side of this.  (yeee hawwww, y'all)!!
  8. DC told a story of personally watching personnel enter a bank exchange call center, enter at the time he was informed by sources would be called into work at bizarre times.  Response to a caller who claimed that bankers have never been called in at 4am bizarre times.  DC witnessed them arriving.  Call centers and exchange centers are not located at bank offices.  THIS IS REAL. 
  9. Google: Bank of Ireland / Wells Fargo transaction re WF purchase of a wholesale currency company.
