Islamic State Created By Us To Control Middle East

[daws101]

Well then ... if Raad Hatem doesn't trust my President and Haidar al-Assadi is convinced that "Islamic State is a clear creation of the United States" then clearly it must be so.

So you're gullible enough to believe what your president has to say about the Long War? Don't you feel alone

Nope, but unlike you I'm definitely not dim enough to subscribe to a conspiracy theory proffered by some guy in Iraq named Haidar al-Assadi. Fact is I remain hopeful that the Obama administration is sharp enough to have created or co-opted ISIL as a fire with which to fight other fires but I just don't see it.

I'm not sufficiently dim to believe the commander-in-chief of the greatest purveyor of violence in the world is anything more than a useful tool for those who get rich from wars they seldom get close to. The US started all those fires in the Middle East, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone too blind to see why.

you're just extremely dim in all situations.

I can still recognize the greatest purveyor of violence in the world; why can't you?

if you mean your complete paranoia then I'm Way ahead of you.

Truman, "has always supported the right of the Jews to have their own homeland, from the moment he became President. He considers this to be a question about the moral and ethical considerations that are present in that part of the world. For that reason, he supports the foundation of a Jewish state. He is sympathetic to their needs and their desires, and I assure you he is going to continue to lend our country’s support to the creation of a Jewish state." ~ Ambassador Holbrooke.

"Sometime in the late 1950s, that world-class gossip and occasional historian, John F. Kennedy, told me how, in 1948, Harry S. Truman had been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to run for president.

"Then an American Zionist brought him two million dollars in cash, in a suitcase, aboard his whistle-stop campaign train.

"'That's why our recognition of Israel was rushed through so fast.'

"As neither Jack nor I was an antisemite (unlike his father and my grandfather) we took this to be just another funny story about Truman and the serene corruption of American politics."

Mission Statement
In a democracy, the ultimate responsibility for a nation’s actions rests with its citizens. The top rung of government – the entity with the ultimate power of governance – is the asserted will of the people. Therefore, in any democracy, it is essential that its citizens be fully and accurately informed.

In the United States, currently the most powerful nation on earth, it is even more essential that its citizens receive complete and undistorted information on topics of importance, so that they may wield their extraordinary power with wisdom and intelligence.

Unfortunately, such information is not always forthcoming.

The mission of If Americans Knew is to inform and educate the American public on issues of major significance that are unreported, underreported, or misreported in the American media.

It is our belief that when Americans know the facts on a subject, they will, in the final analysis, act in accordance with morality, justice, and the best interests of their nation, and of the world. With insufficient information, or distorted information, they may do the precise opposite.

It is the mission of If Americans Knew to ensure that this does not happen – that the information on which Americans base their actions is complete, accurate, and undistorted by conscious or unconscious bias, by lies of either commission or omission, or by pressures exerted by powerful special interest groups. It is our goal to supply the information essential to those responsible for the actions of the strongest nation on earth – the American people.

In response to a controversial article advancing theories about alleged Israeli organ harvesting, published in August 2009 in a Swedish daily newspaper, Weir penned multiple articles in which she highlighted a series of organ harvesting accusations that have been made against Israel, dating back to Israel’s first heart transplant in 1968. In the articles, Weir asserted that Israeli organ traffickers “coerce people into giving up their organs,” that the Israeli government has enabled a “transplant tourism” industry that exploits poor and needy individuals overseas, and that Israeli authorities have “targeted” Palestinians for autopsies and organ harvesting performed without permission. She asserted that Israel and supporters of Israel responded to the 2009 organ harvesting allegations by attempting to “suppress all debate and crush those whose questions and conclusions they find threatening,” and noted that “it is difficult to conclude that [Israel] has nothing to hide.” In addition, Weir cited a theory introduced in 2008 in which Nancy Scheper-Hughes, founder of an organ transplant watchdog organization called Organ Watch, alleged that Israelis traffic organs as a means of “revenge, restitution—reparation for the Holocaust.” Weir’s articles, titled “The New ‘Blood Libel’? Israeli Organ Harvesting” and “Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine,” appeared respectively in CounterPunch, a radical anti-Zionist newsletter, in August, and in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, an anti-Israel publication that frequently serves as an apologist for Muslim American groups advocating anti-Semitism and support for terrorism, in October.

Yes, I believe Obama helped ISIS or ISL as he so reverently calls it.

What role did Cheney and Bush (and Carter, Clinton, and Reagan) play in creating the conditions for Obama and IS to thrive?

Carter defiantly. He was an idealist who was ill equipped and did not understand what was happening in the region. Like jinga blocks, he pulled the wrong piece at the base while trying to make it look even on top.
Before him, Ford understood the need for strong states. He was far more realistic than Carter.

Truman started the madness in the Middle East when he recognized the Jewish state in 1948, as many of his top advisers, military and civilian, told him.

Truman, "has always supported the right of the Jews to have their own homeland, from the moment he became President. He considers this to be a question about the moral and ethical considerations that are present in that part of the world. For that reason, he supports the foundation of a Jewish state. He is sympathetic to their needs and their desires, and I assure you he is going to continue to lend our country’s support to the creation of a Jewish state." ~ Ambassador Holbrooke.

So Gore Vidal CLAIMS JFK made that statement but offered no substantiation and neither Vidal nor JFK were with Truman on that whistle-stop campaign train.
Not surprisingly, there is no substantiation of Vidal's claim or of the $2mil suitcase.
Truman was not a supporter of Israeli independence (preferring the Morrison-Grady plan) and recognized the Jewish State reluctantly. He was certainly moved by the Holocaust and by the hundreds of thousands of displaced Jews who were languishing in refugee camps with nowhere to go. Perhaps more importantly the Dems were concerned about losing Congress and Truman perhaps believed recognition of Israel would help his party politically.

Carter defiantly. He was an idealist who was ill equipped and did not understand what was happening in the region. Like jinga blocks, he pulled the wrong piece at the base while trying to make it look even on top.
Before him, Ford understood the need for strong states. He was far more realistic than Carter.

Truman started the madness in the Middle East when he recognized the Jewish state in 1948, as many of his top advisers, military and civilian, told him.

Truman, "has always supported the right of the Jews to have their own homeland, from the moment he became President. He considers this to be a question about the moral and ethical considerations that are present in that part of the world. For that reason, he supports the foundation of a Jewish state. He is sympathetic to their needs and their desires, and I assure you he is going to continue to lend our country’s support to the creation of a Jewish state." ~ Ambassador Holbrooke.

"Sometime in the late 1950s, that world-class gossip and occasional historian, John F. Kennedy, told me how, in 1948, Harry S. Truman had been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to run for president.

"Then an American Zionist brought him two million dollars in cash, in a suitcase, aboard his whistle-stop campaign train.

"'That's why our recognition of Israel was rushed through so fast.'

"As neither Jack nor I was an antisemite (unlike his father and my grandfather) we took this to be just another funny story about Truman and the serene corruption of American politics."

Truman was not a supporter of Israeli independence (preferring the Morrison-Grady plan) and recognized the Jewish State reluctantly. He was certainly moved by the Holocaust and by the hundreds of thousands of displaced Jews who were languishing in refugee camps with nowhere to go. Perhaps more importantly the Dems were concerned about losing Congress and Truman believed recognition of Israel would help his party politically.

Well then ... if Raad Hatem doesn't trust my President and Haidar al-Assadi is convinced that "Islamic State is a clear creation of the United States" then clearly it must be so.

So you're gullible enough to believe what your president has to say about the Long War? Don't you feel alone

Nope, but unlike you I'm definitely not dim enough to subscribe to a conspiracy theory proffered by some guy in Iraq named Haidar al-Assadi. Fact is I remain hopeful that the Obama administration is sharp enough to have created or co-opted ISIL as a fire with which to fight other fires but I just don't see it.

I'm not sufficiently dim to believe the commander-in-chief of the greatest purveyor of violence in the world is anything more than a useful tool for those who get rich from wars they seldom get close to. The US started all those fires in the Middle East, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone too blind to see why.

you're just extremely dim in all situations.

I can still recognize the greatest purveyor of violence in the world; why can't you?

Mission Statement
In a democracy, the ultimate responsibility for a nation’s actions rests with its citizens. The top rung of government – the entity with the ultimate power of governance – is the asserted will of the people. Therefore, in any democracy, it is essential that its citizens be fully and accurately informed.

In the United States, currently the most powerful nation on earth, it is even more essential that its citizens receive complete and undistorted information on topics of importance, so that they may wield their extraordinary power with wisdom and intelligence.

Unfortunately, such information is not always forthcoming.

The mission of If Americans Knew is to inform and educate the American public on issues of major significance that are unreported, underreported, or misreported in the American media.

It is our belief that when Americans know the facts on a subject, they will, in the final analysis, act in accordance with morality, justice, and the best interests of their nation, and of the world. With insufficient information, or distorted information, they may do the precise opposite.

It is the mission of If Americans Knew to ensure that this does not happen – that the information on which Americans base their actions is complete, accurate, and undistorted by conscious or unconscious bias, by lies of either commission or omission, or by pressures exerted by powerful special interest groups. It is our goal to supply the information essential to those responsible for the actions of the strongest nation on earth – the American people.

Alison Weir

Expressions of Anti-Semitism IntroductionBackgroundExpressions of Anti-SemitismIf Americans KnewGroups and Affiliations [TBODY] [/TBODY] Alison Weir’s criticism of Israel has, at times, crossed the line into distortions customarily found in the literature of anti-Semites. In response to a controversial article advancing theories about alleged Israeli organ harvesting, published in August 2009 in a Swedish daily newspaper, Weir penned multiple articles in which she highlighted a series of organ harvesting accusations that have been made against Israel, dating back to Israel’s first heart transplant in 1968. In the articles, Weir asserted that Israeli organ traffickers “coerce people into giving up their organs,” that the Israeli government has enabled a “transplant tourism” industry that exploits poor and needy individuals overseas, and that Israeli authorities have “targeted” Palestinians for autopsies and organ harvesting performed without permission. She asserted that Israel and supporters of Israel responded to the 2009 organ harvesting allegations by attempting to “suppress all debate and crush those whose questions and conclusions they find threatening,” and noted that “it is difficult to conclude that [Israel] has nothing to hide.” In addition, Weir cited a theory introduced in 2008 in which Nancy Scheper-Hughes, founder of an organ transplant watchdog organization called Organ Watch, alleged that Israelis traffic organs as a means of “revenge, restitution—reparation for the Holocaust.” Weir’s articles, titled “The New ‘Blood Libel’? Israeli Organ Harvesting” and “Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine,” appeared respectively in CounterPunch, a radical anti-Zionist newsletter, in August, and in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, an anti-Israel publication that frequently serves as an apologist for Muslim American groups advocating anti-Semitism and support for terrorism, in October. In an April 4, 2008, opinion piece she wrote in The Greenwich Citizen entitled, “What Our Taxes to Israel are Funding,” Weir hand-picked quotations from Jewish religious texts and from a writer who has been debunked widely by scholars. Weir used the quotations erroneously to define and defame Judaism, which she described as “such a ruthless and supremacist faith.”

"If things proceed normally, President Barak Obama will soon proclaimApril 11, 2014 'Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.'

"Despite the innocuous name, this day honors the memory of a religious leader whose lesser-known teachings help fuel some of the most violent attacks against Palestinians by extremist Israeli settlers and soldiers.

"The leader being honored on this day is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, charismatic head of a mystical/fundamentalist version of Judaism..."

"Quite likely very few Americans, both Jews and non-Jews, are aware of Schneerson’s teachings about the alleged deep differences between them – and about how these teachings are applied in the West Bank and Gaza..."

"This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world …

"The difference in the inner quality between Jews and non-Jews is 'so great that the bodies should be considered as completely different species.'

“An even greater difference exists in regard to the soul.

"Two contrary types of soul exist, a non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Jewish soul stems from holiness.”

“As has been explained, an embryo is called a human being, because it has both body and soul. Thus, the difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish embryo can be understood.”

“…the general difference between Jews and non-Jews: A Jew was not created

as a means for some [other] purpose; he himself is the purpose, since the substance of all [divine] emanations was created only to serve the Jews.”

You might have trouble admitting the violence your country unleashed in Iraq in 2003 has led directly to the human rights abuses we see in Iraq and Syria today, but some of us would rather put the blame where it rightly belongs.

Expressions of Anti-Semitism IntroductionBackgroundExpressions of Anti-SemitismIf Americans KnewGroups and Affiliations [TBODY] [/TBODY] Alison Weir’s criticism of Israel has, at times, crossed the line into distortions customarily found in the literature of anti-Semites. In response to a controversial article advancing theories about alleged Israeli organ harvesting, published in August 2009 in a Swedish daily newspaper, Weir penned multiple articles in which she highlighted a series of organ harvesting accusations that have been made against Israel, dating back to Israel’s first heart transplant in 1968. In the articles, Weir asserted that Israeli organ traffickers “coerce people into giving up their organs,” that the Israeli government has enabled a “transplant tourism” industry that exploits poor and needy individuals overseas, and that Israeli authorities have “targeted” Palestinians for autopsies and organ harvesting performed without permission. She asserted that Israel and supporters of Israel responded to the 2009 organ harvesting allegations by attempting to “suppress all debate and crush those whose questions and conclusions they find threatening,” and noted that “it is difficult to conclude that [Israel] has nothing to hide.” In addition, Weir cited a theory introduced in 2008 in which Nancy Scheper-Hughes, founder of an organ transplant watchdog organization called Organ Watch, alleged that Israelis traffic organs as a means of “revenge, restitution—reparation for the Holocaust.” Weir’s articles, titled “The New ‘Blood Libel’? Israeli Organ Harvesting” and “Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine,” appeared respectively in CounterPunch, a radical anti-Zionist newsletter, in August, and in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, an anti-Israel publication that frequently serves as an apologist for Muslim American groups advocating anti-Semitism and support for terrorism, in October. In an April 4, 2008, opinion piece she wrote in The Greenwich Citizen entitled, “What Our Taxes to Israel are Funding,” Weir hand-picked quotations from Jewish religious texts and from a writer who has been debunked widely by scholars. Weir used the quotations erroneously to define and defame Judaism, which she described as “such a ruthless and supremacist faith.”

"The leader being honored on this day is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, charismatic head of a mystical/fundamentalist version of Judaism..."

"Quite likely very few Americans, both Jews and non-Jews, are aware of Schneerson’s teachings about the alleged deep differences between them – and about how these teachings are applied in the West Bank and Gaza..."

"This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world …

"The difference in the inner quality between Jews and non-Jews is 'so great that the bodies should be considered as completely different species.'

“An even greater difference exists in regard to the soul.

"Two contrary types of soul exist, a non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Jewish soul stems from holiness.”

“As has been explained, an embryo is called a human being, because it has both body and soul. Thus, the difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish embryo can be understood.”

Ya know, I have waaay more respect for Weir, Shahak and Cockburn - all of whom make or made livings selling their hate for Jooos to not-too-brights like you - than I do for a punk-ass bitch on an obscure message board who uses their hate to justify his own.

I'm not sufficiently dim to believe the commander-in-chief of the greatest purveyor of violence in the world is anything more than a useful tool for those who get rich from wars they seldom get close to. The US started all those fires in the Middle East, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone too blind to see why.

you're just extremely dim in all situations.

I can still recognize the greatest purveyor of violence in the world; why can't you?

Your persistent disdain for America and Americans is once again noted. It is sad that you confuse us with your comrades:

Iraqi woman activist killed by ISIS New York Post
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called “Sharia court” for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to “public execution.”
She was killed on Monday, the U.N. mission said.

Islamic State extremists released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines, who was abducted in Syria last year, and British Prime Minister David Cameron late Saturday condemned his slaying as "an act of pure evil."

When I point out the US is still the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, you think I'm disdaining America, is that right?

You point out the brutal murder of an heroic human rights activist by a terrorist gang that would never have come into existence absent America's illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq as proof of what, America's disdain for human rights?

You might have trouble admitting the violence your country unleashed in Iraq in 2003 has led directly to the human rights abuses we see in Iraq and Syria today, but some of us would rather put the blame where it rightly belongs.

is there any reason other than attention getting that you post in bold face type?

A view from Down Under:
"From Syria, Mother Agnes-Mariam warned that the Arab Spring had been 'hijacked by foreign Islamist mercenaries, with strong support from Western countries'.

" In newspaper columns at the time I warned these Salafists were exploiting the sectarian fault lines to impose a theocracy, not a democracy.

"Such warnings were ignored and these militants morphed into the monster we now know as Islamic State, or sometimes as ISIL.

"Although the US-Saudi-Qatar alliance intended their pipelines of weapons and funds to reach the Free Syrian Army, their 'intelligence' must have shown what local Arabs already knew: the pipelines were leaking.

"These dangerous toys would land in the hands of Al Nusra Front, the Syrian franchise of al-Qaeda, and ultimately Islamic State, which now reigns supreme."

The greatest purveyor of violence in the world can hardly afford to run short of enemies, can it?

Just follow the Yazidis:
"And then came the Islamic State (IS) and the new 'caliphate,' the child born of a neglectful occupation and an autocratic Shia government out to put the Sunnis in their place once and for all.

"And suddenly we were heading back into Iraq.

"What, in August 2014, was initially promoted as a limited humanitarian effort to save the Yazidis, a small religious sect that no one in Washington or anywhere else in this country had previously heard of, quickly morphed into those 1,600 American troops back on the ground in Iraq and American planes in the skies from Kurdistan in the north to south of Baghdad.

"The Yazidis were either abandoned, or saved or just not needed anymore.

"Who knows and who, by then, cared?

"They had, after all, served their purpose handsomely as the casus belli of this war.

"Their agony at least had a horrific reality, unlike the supposed attack in the Gulf of Tonkin that propelled a widening war in Vietnam in 1964 or the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs that were the excuse for the invasion of 2003."

as a means for some [other] purpose; he himself is the purpose, since the substance of all [divine] emanations was created only to serve the Jews.”

Were you created only to serve Jews?

Why is the US Honoring a Racist Rabbi CounterPunch Tells the Facts Names the Names

no she's in the british nazi party.

She doesn't hide her beliefs:
"Most people don’t know about this aspect of Schneerson’s teaching because, according to Shahak and Mezvinsky, such teachings are intentionally minimized, mistranslated, or
hidden entirely.

"For example, the quotes above were translated by the authors from a book of Schneerson’s recorded messages to followers that was published in Israel in 1965.

"Despite Schneerson’s global importance and the fact that his world headquarters is in the U.S., there has never been an English translation of this volume.

so she doesn't mind being a racist...

She doesn't mind revealing racists, even when they are Jews:

"If things proceed normally, President Barak Obama will soon proclaimApril 11, 2014 'Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.'

"Despite the innocuous name, this day honors the memory of a religious leader whose lesser-known teachings help fuel some of the most violent attacks against Palestinians by extremist Israeli settlers and soldiers.

The leader being honored on this day is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, charismatic head of a mystical/fundamentalist version of Judaism. Every year since 1978, a Presidential Proclamation, often accompanied by a Congressional Resolution (the 1990 one had 219 sponsors), has declared Schneerson’s birthday an official national day of observance."

Your persistent disdain for America and Americans is once again noted. It is sad that you confuse us with your comrades:

Iraqi woman activist killed by ISIS New York Post
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called “Sharia court” for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to “public execution.”
She was killed on Monday, the U.N. mission said.

Islamic State extremists released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines, who was abducted in Syria last year, and British Prime Minister David Cameron late Saturday condemned his slaying as "an act of pure evil."

When I point out the US is still the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, you think I'm disdaining America, is that right?

You point out the brutal murder of an heroic human rights activist by a terrorist gang that would never have come into existence absent America's illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq as proof of what, America's disdain for human rights?

You might have trouble admitting the violence your country unleashed in Iraq in 2003 has led directly to the human rights abuses we see in Iraq and Syria today, but some of us would rather put the blame where it rightly belongs.

is there any reason other than attention getting that you post in bold face type?

A view from Down Under:
"From Syria, Mother Agnes-Mariam warned that the Arab Spring had been 'hijacked by foreign Islamist mercenaries, with strong support from Western countries'.

" In newspaper columns at the time I warned these Salafists were exploiting the sectarian fault lines to impose a theocracy, not a democracy.

"Such warnings were ignored and these militants morphed into the monster we now know as Islamic State, or sometimes as ISIL.

"Although the US-Saudi-Qatar alliance intended their pipelines of weapons and funds to reach the Free Syrian Army, their 'intelligence' must have shown what local Arabs already knew: the pipelines were leaking.

"These dangerous toys would land in the hands of Al Nusra Front, the Syrian franchise of al-Qaeda, and ultimately Islamic State, which now reigns supreme."

The greatest purveyor of violence in the world can hardly afford to run short of enemies, can it?

Islamic State is a creation like Frankenstein s monster

Just follow the Yazidis:
"And then came the Islamic State (IS) and the new 'caliphate,' the child born of a neglectful occupation and an autocratic Shia government out to put the Sunnis in their place once and for all.

"And suddenly we were heading back into Iraq.

"What, in August 2014, was initially promoted as a limited humanitarian effort to save the Yazidis, a small religious sect that no one in Washington or anywhere else in this country had previously heard of, quickly morphed into those 1,600 American troops back on the ground in Iraq and American planes in the skies from Kurdistan in the north to south of Baghdad.

"The Yazidis were either abandoned, or saved or just not needed anymore.

"Who knows and who, by then, cared?

"They had, after all, served their purpose handsomely as the casus belli of this war.

"Their agony at least had a horrific reality, unlike the supposed attack in the Gulf of Tonkin that propelled a widening war in Vietnam in 1964 or the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs that were the excuse for the invasion of 2003."
