The Rise and Fall of Syria (satire)

Once upon a time a long time ago, a young doctor studying to be an ophthalmologist at the Western Eye Hospital in London was called back to his home country to his father's heir apparent due to the death of his elder brother in a tragic car crash. He later married a beautiful lady born in the UK, and after the death of his father, he became president and she became his First Lady. All in all, it seemed a wonderful life.

Years passed, and then in 2011, everything changed. Bashar al Assad, the current President of Syria is the name of that doctor.

During the Arab Spring of 2011, some of the people of his country rebelled against him. After bloody clashes, it became clear that Syria was in a civil war, a proxy war between Russia and Western nations aligned with America and sympathetic members of the Gulf States known as Friends of the Syrian Group.

According to a recent news report, Al-Qaeda of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) — also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Islamic State — is covertly funded by the Friends of Syria Group (FSG), of whose members Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia fund Sunni covert mercenaries from around the world, including Canada such as a man who was convicted as one of the Toronto 18.

In essence, Western nations aligned with the US government are facilitating the covert training of home-grown militants by capturing them where a few of them radicalize. Once they are released from jail, these militants find their way to Syria as a part of a secret plan to send 100,000 covert mercenaries to Syria. Perhaps, about five percent of detained homegrown militants who are released from prison have radicalized.

Thus the fall of Syria is being plotted by these Western nations with advice from the US government. Rather than drop bombs, the West will instead detain their home-grown terrorists and let each one fly to Syria to join the ISIL which includes most of the al-Nusra Front, each of which are Islamic terrorist organizations.

While al Nusrah Front is aligned with Al Qaeda, ISIL has broken with al Qaeda due to the ISIL's leader's intent to absorb al Nusrah Front into ISIL. For a thorough background on Islamic State's leader, see the Update for December 7, 2015 below.)

Currently, the ISIL-dominated area in which consists of eastern Syria and northern Iraq has been turned into a quasi-Caliphate where Sharia law is the rule of the land. However, it also includes anywhere in the world where local Islamic dissidents have aligned with Islamic State e.g. northeastern Nigeria where Boko Haram have terrorized Christians and Muslim citizens.

When Syria falls, it will be because of the Western nations' leaders aligned with the US government who agreed to bomb Libya, and consequently contributed to the murder of Gaddafi by clan members whose clans were brutally suppressed under the Libya despot.

In that scenario, it is more likely the reason for Libya falling was due to the proposed gold currency that he was fronting and his announcement to share oil wealth with every Libyan, a promise that faded when the Arab Spring morphed into civil war.

In Syria, the Alawite Shi'a minority run the government while the Sunni majority have been routinely suppressed under the al-Assad Dynasty. Indeed, before the current proxy war by the superpowers of the US, Russia, China, and the Gulf States of Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, Syria outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, possibly due to their ties to CIA.

It is known that Pakistan routinely receives US aid, and that their spy organization ISI secretly trained mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union during the Afghanistan civil war that preceded the Taleban and later US invasion. Thus Pakistan is complicit in the war crimes that the US and its allies in the Coalition committed in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Today it is most likely that when Gitmo is closed, captured militants will be redeployed in Syria. This is likely why a certain militant was released from US custody.

Thus, in the future, this is what Homeland Security might do:

1. Closely scrutinize males from the Middle East who are not Israelis.
   
2. When said males exhibit radical Muslim ideology, isolate them from mainstream Muslims.
   
3. Send in psy ops specialists to convince said males to commit to a terrorist act on US soil.
   
4. Send in police and FBI to "foil" terrorist act and arrest said males.
   
5. Send in more psy ops to convince "home-grown terrorist(s)" that redeploying in Syria is the only option.
   
6. If they choose a trial, then that means their lawyer knows the truth about the covert mercenary plan devised by the FSG, particularly with the aid of Canada.

This is what "home-grown terrorism" actually means. In the case of the recent train station bombings in Russia by Chechen militants, it may be funded by the CIA. As well, the Boston bombings is inspired by Chechen militancy and is an example of homegrown terrorism. It is well known that the Chechen Muslims who did Hajj may have radicalized in Saudi Arabia. Thus it is imperative for Western nations to identify and monitor imams who support Islamic terrorists groups such as al Qaeda and ISIL in their countries, particularly in nations with large Muslim immigrant populations such as Germany and their Turkish immigrants, most of whom immigrated to avoid Turkish suppression of potential Salafi militants. Additionally, the revisionism of Imam al-Sharif needs to be implemented in Western nations amongst the Islamic diaspora in order to prevent Muslim youths from being seduced by charismatic imams who use Salafi ideology as the means to their own ends - Islamic militancy. Because it is the misuse of ideology that is dangerous, the current propaganda that neoconservatives are manufacturing — that Islam is dangerous to America — consists of generalizations about Islam that also indicate the misuse of ideology. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but Salafi ideology is misused by charismatic imams in the name of al Qaeda and Islamic State. The irony is that al Qaeda has been in the pockets of the US government all along. Perhaps al Qaeda did not plan 9-11 all on its own but was facilitated by a covert psy ops team embedded in al Qaeda to choose two symbols of American power to destroy, namely the Twin Towers in NYC and the Pentagon. Possibly that the passenger jet that was downed in Pennsylvania might have contained an expendable CIA operative who inspired the passengers to take down the crew. The purpose of this was to instill patriotism in American people. However, there may be an unlikely scenario aboard an American passenger jet in which a purported terrorist is murdered by heroic passengers but misrepresented in the mainstream news as an "aborted hijacking." This incident will be used to inspire American passengers to aid the air marshal if a would-be hijacker attempts a hijack. The problem here is, most passengers are compliant and non-aggressive. Thus, it might be more useful to hire covert agents who have trained in hijacking scenarios to be placed on air flights in which potential terrorists are most likely to be embedded amongst passengers. These agents would be trained in techniques useful to defusing hostage situations. With this in mind, the Air France Flight 8969 is a good example of the tactics used by air crew to establish rapport with AIG terrorists. Of the four terrorists, "Bill" was probably not a terrorist, but was a poor goat-herder taken along for the ride. Additionally, it would be important to Americans to learn to be friendly to Muslim Americans so as to establish with and to dialog with Muslim Americans rather than base their actions solely on the Islamophobic propaganda that the neoconservatives are peddling. Regarding Islam, if I read another lie about Aisha and Muhammad, then my satire is going to get interesting: for example, defending teenaged pregnancy by claiming that the Virgin Mary was an unmarried pregnant lady who was married by Joseph to prevent scandal. It is likely that she would have been stoned for having premarital sex with someone she called "The Lord" after someone named "Gabriel" told her about being mother to the coming Messiah. Therefore the Christ story was probably concocted as propaganda long after Roman occupation of Judea after 63 BCE. However, Jesus never existed as depicted in the Bible. Rather, there may have been a priest-king named Jesus of whose cult members were persecuted by Saul. Therefore, Paul of Tarsus is the chief propagandist of the Christ myth. My reason for this alternate theory to the Christ story is due to the modern day Christian's role in the bloody debacle being played out in Syria today. Their right wing advocates against the Syrian government of al Assad are peddling the Islamophobic propaganda among Tea Party members by their GOP handlers. They use generalizations based on the fallacy that all terrorists are Muslims — "all terrorists are Muslims. Al Qaeda is a Muslim terrorist organization. Osama bin Laden was the leader of al Qaeda. Therefore Osama was a Muslim terrorist." However, not all Muslims are terrorists. Most Islamophobic propaganda does not distinguish between radicals and moderates. This is why I call Islamophobia propaganda. Additionally, the fallacy that Bashar al Assad is almost as evil as Hitler is propaganda used to justify war on Syria. In conclusion, regarding Syria, no one's hands are clean of this mess. All participants including Canada may be guilty of war crimes. You have been informed. Update: As of February 3, 2014, al Qaeda has broke with the ISIL due to a dispute between al Qaeda and ISIL. Additionally, the ISIL militants have taken over oil wells and placed tolls on vehicles entering its territory. Syrian rebels has stated that they don't mind al Qaeda's remaining terrorists in the Nusra Front since they are not as eager in profiting from the fact that much of the infrastructure in parts of Syria are ripe for making gobs of cash. It looks like the American government has created a monster. Update: As of December 7, 2015, it is most likely that the American government created the Islamic State. Originally known in the West as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) or ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), in the Middle East, and among informed academics and politicians in the West, another name associated with the Islamic State: Da'esh. Documented proof exists that the Islamic State was manufactured by the US government to fight in Iraq and in Syria, mainly to destabilize both nations. Back in 2005, in an opinion editorial in the L. A. Times by UC Berkley law professor John Yoo, he mentions a tool that could be used to fight against al Qaeda: "Another tool would have 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." According to Peter Santilli, who runs an alternate media show in his name, this is the smoking gun that points to his contention that Islamic State was created by the CIA. He contends that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is a CIA covert agent. Originally, al-Baghdadi was created by al Qaeda to legitimize the leadership of the Islamic State of Iraq prior to 2010. Later on, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi replaced the Iraqi actor who played al-Baghdadi. When al-Baghdadi was killed in 2010, he was replaced by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. An elaborate back story for Abu Bakr — also known as Abu Dua — has enhanced his prestige as leader of Islamic State. However, at the time of the Coalition invasion of Iraq in 2003, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a Muslim cleric who helped found the militant group Jamaat Jaysh Ahl al-Sunnah wa-l-Jamaah (JJASJ), in which he served as head of the sharia committee. After he was arrested by US Forces-Iraq in 2004 near Fallujah, he was detained at Camp Bucca detention center under his name Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badry. In 2005, he was released from Camp Bucca as a "low level prisoner". In 2006, his group JJASJ joined the Mujahideen Shura Council (MSC). He served as a member of the MSC's sharia committee. Later that year, when MSC became Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), Abu Bakr was the general supervisor of the ISI's sharia committee and a member of the group's senior consultative council. When Osama bin Laden died in May 2011, Abu Bakr praised the leader of al Qaeda and threatened violent retaliation. On May 5, 2011, al-Baghdadi claimed responsibility for an attack in Hilla, that killed 24 policemen and wounded 72 others. On August 15, Mosul was targeted by ISI, resulting in 70 deaths. Later, on their website, in response to bin Laden's death, ISI vowed to kill 100 attacks throughout Iraq. As leader of ISI, al-Baghdadi orchestrated the killing of prominent Sunni lawmaker Khalid al-Fahdawi in August 28 2011. According to a June 11, 2014 Washington Post interview of Colonel Kenneth King, Abu Bakr was detained from 2005 to 2009. This disinformation was used by conspiracy theorists to substantiate claims that the CIA trained Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and to support the theory that the Islamic State is in fact the tool used to destabilize Iraq and Syria. In 2013, as ISIL insurgency made its way into eastern Syria, al-Baghdadi declared that ISI would now be known as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) which could be alternately translated from Arabic as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). He also stated that al-Nusrah Front (Jabhat al-Nusra) be merged with ISIL. This led to a break with al Qaeda, with 80% of al Nusrah Front being absorbed into ISIL. Mainstream media use of the alternate name for ISIL, ISIS, led to its popularity due to the acronym being similar to Isis, an ancient Egyptian goddess of life and fertility. A few Christian and Muslim religionists might manufacture the fallacy that ISIS is as evil as the ancient Egyptians who conquered the Middle East because some of them were the pagan worshipers of Isis. Yet there is no evidence that the ancient conquest of the Middle East was done in the name of Isis, given that the ancient Egyptian god Ra is associated with ancient Egyptian royalty and their conquests. Of course, mainstream media refrains from the use of such a pointless fallacy. By the beginning of 2014, after pushing al Nusrah Front out of the Syrian city of Ar-Raqqah, and fighting with the faction throughout the Deir ez-Zor Governorate left hundreds of militants dead and displaced tens of thousands of Syrians. In February 2014, al Qaeda cut off all ties with ISIL. Meanwhile, mainstream media discovered that al-Baghdadi and the ISIL received private financing from citizens in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Then in June 2014, al-Baghdadi declared that ISIS would be known as the Islamic State (IS), and he would be its Caliph. Over the intervening months, the Islamic State murdered a Jordanian pilot, which led to a response from the military of America, Jordan and other Arab nations to attack them. In time, Russia joined them, defending Syria from the IS and recently clashing with Turkey. Perhaps the fall of Syria has been delayed. Only time will tell. Update for December 19, 2015: Islamic State is a joint CIA and Pakistan ISI product known in the mainstream media as terrorist organization. Yet what the news reports fail to mention is that Islamic terrorists groups like the Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban have been manufactured by Israeli Mossad with aid from the US spy agency (CIA), Pakistan's ISI, Canada's black ops unit, Joint Task Force, and many other spy agencies of Western nation allied with the Us military. Five Eyes are needed to manipulate the news media to prevent an honest and truthful exposure of this smoke and mirrors shell game that the intelligence agents play while replacing honest reporting in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the US with the straw man called "the Islamic militant" AKA "Muslim terrorist." Even the Paris attack consisted of a black ops crew consisting of French military personnel in plain clothes who led the dissidents on their killing spree last month. Likewise, the shooting in San Bernardino was morphed into a terrorist attack, with the purported terrorists' home open to news reporters in an effort to contaminate the scene of the dissidents' bomb-making. These false flag operations are designed to satisfy the MSM's hunger for terrorism, and their desire of the government to protect its citizens. Instead, sometimes the dissidents go roguecafter training and morph into terrorists thanks to their radicalization in Saudi Arabia during Hajj, the Muslim faithfuls' annual pilgrimage to Mecca to worship God Almighty as they circumambulated the Kaaba. If you want to stop terrorism, then demand that the governments of the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand bring home their spies from the Middle East. Though it may be true that those who live by the sword may die in bloody conflict, this militancy has not been sanctioned by a imam, thus proving that Islamic State is only Islamic in name only. Islamic State's religious leanings remind me of a darker and more homicidal version of US domestic terrorism, with the trappings of religion so as to legitimize these militants' violence by declaring that all of Islam in the Middle East is apostate and thus ought to be excommunicated from the mosques ad the streets, by force if necessary. Yet its militants are subtle secularists who have worn the robes of Muslim holy rollers and whose action gives religion a day name. For a true Muslim has no need to wage jihad on the Crusaders embedded in the Coalition's forces, who are inspired by Christ an war hawks. Thus islamophobia that paints Islam as a warrior religion ignores the old Testament as the source of such militancy in Christendom. Indeed, the Old Testament is full of stories about armies warring to win the Holy Land for the nomadic Semites in ancient times, who settled in Jerusalem after captivity and became the jews of today. While the West overlooks the religious origins of rivalry between Sunni and Shi'a due to socialist romaticism, the truth is, favoring Israel over Jordan and perpetuating the bloody mindedness of thechosen ones in spite of the promise of Jesus Christ to return. Mankind cannot usher in a free world devoid of religion, due to the willingness to mistake that freedom for license, breaking bonds of spiritual devotion in order to deal thoroughly with the secular world because it is the 21st century. How modern to fight each other with weapons, with the Israeli government willing to compromise human rights for the sake of right-wing radicalisms that favour assassination, servitude, and starvation. Small wonder the New Left is willing to risk being seen as antisemitic when, in fact, antisemitism now only consists of hate crimes against Jews. Yet Israeli rightwingers are wont to say they don't misrepresent the truth that Palestine is not an urban legend but rather the fact they need to show friendliness to the Syrian immigrants and live what the Christ taught us. It is the obligation of the West to love one another and to love your enemies, because love is the answer to militancy and war! I am sure that all you need is to willingly practice the charity that Paul wrote of in 1 Collosians 13, which is of the Christ. Even a true Christian, Jew, and Muslim would know this to be true, but would only abandon the Old Testament fir churchvdoctrine, and replace charity and love with subtle antisemitism and the willingness to split up the house of Shem into Arab and Jew, Jews and Muslims. Both Judaism and Islam are based in part on ancient Hebrew tradition and Arabic principles of justice, not petty tribalisms like honkurvkukkings. That war in the Middle East was manufactured by the West's foreign policy in the Middle East. So no nation usi free of responsibility.

Oil, 911 and the Jihadi Threat (satire)

Back in 2001, almost everyone misinterpreted my comment sometime after 9-11 that whoever planned it had the right to protest but I disagreed with its execution. Yet the moderate Muslim clerics in America soon decried it.

Ever since then, the mainstream media (MSM) has filtered out their response and provided what I perceived as unfair commentary. What rankled me the most was the Russian Orthodox church taking a Crusader attitude to it.

Then the US government led a neo-Crusader war in Afghanistan and later in Iraq. I call these conflicts neo-Crusader because the optics in the Middle East and most Muslim countries is colored by religion.

According to Muslim claims, one reason 9-11 happened because of one US military base on Saudi soil. The result of this is the current Islamic State in northern Iraq, and the radicalization of individuals in the West sympathetic to the jihadi cult and its extremism, worldwide.

Not all of this war is positive: the Taliban, al Qaeda, and even the Islamic State are barely contained.

FWIW I view in general terms the conflict in the Middle East as a global conflict where secularism and its variety of consumerism versus the political extremism that I call "the jihadi cult."

To call it radical Islam may be mistaken, since the MSM have filtered out the historical justification that the jihadi cult makes, which paints it as a continuation of the Crusades but with American secularism having replaced the Catholic church as defenders of Western values.

After reading about the Jordanian pilot being burned alive by the Islamic State, I heartily agree with the Jordani call to "wipe them out."

However, it is because of the oil wells in Syria that that conflict continues; it is because of the pipeline across Afghanistan that region may see more conflicts with the Taliban; and it is because of the pipeline from Russia into the Ukraine that is behind that conflict.

No nation is willing to admit to that. Even the US government will censor it. Instead, the Islamic State is a distraction as are the terrorist incidents in America, in the UK and even in Canada.

So is the Charlie Hebdo attack, the killing of a British soldier in the UK, the Bostom Marathon bombing, and the bombings in London. The MSM will never expose the fact that our worldwide oil supply is running out is the main reason for these conflicts.

Instead, the pretext for the conflicts (the West's demand for oil and its consumption) will be discounted as conspiracy theory.

Meanwhile, the propaganda against Islam continues unabated, despite the fact that most of the propaganda is too a distraction from the truth: the jihadi cults of al Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban are no longer tacitly supported by most moderate Muslim clerics. Ergo, the Islamophobes' fear mongering is no cause for concern, for it only feeds into the fears of right-wing conservatives without balancing it with the simple fact that most Muslims are not blood-thirsty terrorists.

Even Salafi Muslims are distancing themselves from the Islamic State.

Radical Islam is the threat, but not one MSM outlet will suggest bombing those oil wells that the Islamic State own. That is because the conflict is over oil and who owns it.

Update: February 13, 2015

Perhaps the Noble Qur'an in Surat Al-Baqarah, specifically Surah 2:6-21 (Shakir translation) best sums up extremist groups such as Al Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban as well as their allies in Nigeria and in Kenya.

Surely those who disbelieve — whether you warn them or not, it is the same to them — will not believe. God has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them.

There are some people who say: "We believe in God and the last day"; and they are not at all believers. They desire to deceive God and those who believe, but they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.

There is a disease in their hearts, so God added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied. When it is said to them, "Do not make mischief in the land," they say: "We are but peace-makers."

Now surely they themselves are the mischief makers, but they do not perceive. When it is said to them: "Believe as the people believe," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know.

When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say: "Surely we are with you, we were only mocking." God shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their excessiveness, blindly wandering on.

These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction. O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard against evil.

This quote is in reference to Muslims, specifically extremists, and in it God admonishes the true believer in Islam to not "make mischief in the land" while declaring themselves peace-makers and reformers.

Apparently the extremists in the Islamic State claim to be serving God yet their acts speak for themselves: wanton acts of violence against innocent Christians, Muslims, Yazidis and humanitarian aid workers. This is not Shariah; this too is a mockery of Shariah.

Despite claiming to be Muslim, the Islamic State has mocked God while committing horrible acts of violence, contrary to Islamic law. It is no wonder that the whole world has decried what they did to the Jordanian pilot.

Because of this latest spectacle of violence, most Muslims have aligned with the West, specifically America, including Canada, Japan, the UK and also Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and even Saudi Arabia — to name a few of the Middle East nations. Their religious leaders have condemned the violence, and their political leaders have sent personnel to bomb the extremists. Other nations have sent humanitarian aid.

Recently the Syrian Foreign Minister criticized the violation of Syrian air space by the Jordanians. He has also rejected plans by the West to send in ground troops on Syrian soil.

Since the Islamic State occupies both sides of the border between Syria and Iraq, it is expedient to deal with the imminent threat of the extremists and let the diplomats both Syrian and Jordanian to work out the rules of engagement.

As well, the lack of protection of humanitarian aid workers has led to kidnappings and murders by the Islamic State. This is sad and tragic for their surviving families, especially since innocent lives have been lost.

Earlier I have endorsed the opinion that Jordan should help wipe out the Islamic State. Now that the UAE is also stepping up to the plate to help defeat the extremists, this is both good news and bad news. The bad news: more innocent victims might be killed. This is a given, considering the ruthless violence that the Islamic State is capable of. As for the good news, it disproves the conservative fallacy that "all Muslims are not to be trusted."

For not all Muslims are terrorists.

Indeed, extremism and other acts of violence that lead to terrorism are the work of jihadi cult members who pretend to believe in God and violently carry out their version of Sharia as the only true law. Were they truly believers of God's Oneness, they would not excuse their violence against Muslims and non-Muslims by misquoting the Quran.

Instead, they would treat both Muslims and non-Muslims kindly. Indeed, the extremists commit acts of violence that invalidate their claims of being Muslims, for they have become a law unto themselves.

While this war could be shortened by taking out the oil wells and sabotaging the oil pipeline leading to Banias, Syria, both sides want to keep these assets from harm, lest pollution from burning raw oil contaminate the landscape. Most importantly, if oil assets are destroyed, the war may escalate into a scorched earth scenario that will lead to more innocent lives being lost.

Since neither side wants that to happen, we shall see the continuation of the endless war which began when the US government sent its troops to "liberate" Baghdad in 2003.

It is quite clear that the West wants Assad's oil. Heck, the West also wants Russia's oil, which explains the current Ukraine crisis.

So this endless war is not going to stop any time soon. Meanwhile, more home-grown terrorism in Asia, Europe, The Americas (Canada and the US) and even Australia and New Zealand will be uncovered in the future.

The Politics of Homegrown Jihadi (satire)

Radicalized Islam is more political than religious, and thus inspires a cult of homegrown jihadis with nothing to lose except their lives.

God Almighty has no mercy for the evil that men are capable of doing. 

This is not Satan's work; the body count suggests that, despite their religious leaning, al Qaeda, Islamic State, Taleban, and other radicalized religious group including Army of God antiabortion radicals only hide behind the holiness of God himself.

For these men and women who radicalize may speak of God but their use of violence shows their materialist political activism to be a clear and present danger to society

As long as the West continues forcing its Crusade of Democracy on the Middle East, so shall we experience more attacks by lone wolf jihadi at home.

Yes, I am suggesting that the US foreign policy of forcing the Middle East to accept democracy is what is causing the Muslims to radicalize against it.

If you think the two reported incidents in recent months of radical Muslims killing Canadian soldiers had nothing to do with the Islamic State, then you are mistaken.

By trying to force democracy on Syria by tacit support of the rebels there, it became obvious that this was all a laughable cover for intrigue against Russia by the US which culminated in the Ukraine crisis.

However, the European Community is rallying around the supposed underdog, the Ukraine — controlled by a far right government — while Russia is only protecting its Russian citizens, many of whom had dual citizenship. The problem started when the new government wanted to enfranchise only Ukrainians.

In response, the far right elements of the Russian-Ukrainians rebelled, but both sides are right-wing. Very few Ukrainians and Russians are left-wing, who they view as criminals who should never hold power, due to the economic devestation that the Soviet government had caused in the Ukraine, including massive starvation.

However, the Ukrainian crisis is also a proxy war with the US government propagandizing to the Europeans and Russia aiming to protect its citizens.

All in all, both the Syrian and the Ukrainian crises are designed to polarize the world's people. The anti-Russian propaganda is almost as bad as the Russian propaganda but the Ukrainian counter-propaganda is just as bad.

As for Syria, its propaganda gets almost everything right but condones the corruption of top Syrian oligarchs. Likewise, Russia's leader Putin also condones the corruption of top Russian oligarchs with their billions being invested in the European Community.

It is only a matter of time before World War 3 flares up, should cool heads not prevail. However, what you see in each area — be it the Islamic State being carved out of northern Iraq this year, the Syrian crisis declares as of October 2011, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict — is merely the US-led West versus Russia with full support from China.

I guess the Cold War still is in its death throes, and the incident on September 11, 2001 was an aftershock with the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts a few tremors. A decade later, Arab Spring majorly affected Libya and Syria.

It is time America stopped caring about the Middle East so much that it thinks forcing democracy on Afghanistan, Iraq and now Syria will lead to peace. The resultant anarchy is a sure sign that democracy at gunpoint is not working.

Returning to the recent two incidents of homegrown terrorism in Canada, that is just karma for Harper sending 16 jets and 300 personnel to Kuwait. Nobody was surprised in Ottawa.

Remember that Kuwait also has a handful of al Qaeda veterans who were released from Gitmo not too long ago. So it is obvious that these former Jihadis are working for Kuwait, and most likely Canada and America are collaborators in a proxy war between the West and the Red axis (China and Russia).

Although it looks good to bomb northern Iraq in the news, the IS may likely be a puppet of the Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi axis, funded by oil money.

Overall, this makes us all complicit in the Middle Eastern problem every time people in the free world drive their SUVs to fill up at the gas pump. That is why I take the bus, because I have already paid for my portion of the gas to run that bus in advance. ;)

NEWS UPDATE: the Ottawa gunman purported by PM Harper and mainstream media to be a possible terrorist are false and defamatory.

M. Zehaf-Bibeau was not a homegrown terrorist — al-Qaeda, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and the Taleban have a tendency to lie to support their cause. I am sure Osama bin Laden did it after 9-11, which is evidenced by his first video denying involvement, but later changing his tune when he saw the effect it had on the stock market.

It looks like Zehaf-Bibeau did not get help for his addictions and mental health issues in 2011 as he demanded, simply because the homeless and poor are rejected by most drug rehabilitation centres due to their profit mentality e.g. drug rehab for profit.

At the street level, very few major cities in Canada are willing to cough up public money to put addicts requesting treatment into a treatment program, mainly because most homeless addicts in rehab will walk away because they lost the ability to await positive changes, which can take up to three or more years.

If M. Zehaf-Bibeau had entered a treatment centre for the homeless, there is a good chance that he would have gotten kicked out within a week. Therefore, this article has me bleeding heart a-going.

Therefore Ottawa's shooting scare is because their hands are not clean of how they treat the homeless addicts daily. Indeed, karma is a bitch - too bad three people had to die. May they all rest in peace.

The Syrian Crisis: Cutting Through the Propaganda (satire)

Image courtesy of Reuters

Robert Ford is why wannabe jihadis are flocking to Syria to fight against the corrupt regime of Bashir al Assad.

Thanks to strong propaganda against Syria, primarily due to its ties with North Korea, the US government has created the current crisis in that country.

Since Robert Stephen Ford is the mastermind of American sponsored terrorism in Syria, the blood is truly on the hands of American government.

However, Islam is not the enemy in Syria.

That would be the US-backed propagandists labeling Assad an evil tyrant in their mainstream media. His crime would be aligning with Iran and dealing with North Korea. Yet the majority of people suffering are Palestinians, displaced by the birth of Israel in 1947.

Hence, Syria's Arab Spring is but a continuation of the struggle between a people (the Palestinians) demonized by propaganda and a world misled into believing Israel is one of the good guys.

If you do not believe Israel is on our side, then you are an anti-Semite, even if your lack of trust in Israel is based on the cold facts that Israel acts like a client state of America and its imperialism in the Middle East.

Even America's invasion of Iraq is but a cold and calculated move for American dominance in the Middle East, or, so the propaganda goes.

However, both sides are in error since the endless war is never over, because the so-called oppressed nation of Israel will be exposed for crying wolf. Yet the sheeple will side with Israel because of right-wing propaganda painting all Muslims as caricatures of Islamic jihadism.

If you hate all Muslims then know that you have been duped by the mainstream media and your gut feeling has been manipulated by propaganda from CNN and FOX News. We all saw how well they tried to blame Amerithrax on Iraq when it's more likely that might have been an inside job.

Muslims who know the truth will laugh at this compliance with propaganda. Nobody who is Muslim in the Middle East and well educated believes al Qaeda and their ilk are Muslim. They know them to be criminals who will burn in hell for their crimes against humanity.

Once, right wing militants like the Muslim Brotherhood will cheer on those criminal terrorists who hide under the robes of a pious Muslim. Now, with the rise of the Islamic State in northern Iraq, all the Muslims have condemned them.

Those who condemn Syria should remember that Ambassador Robert Ford egged on the civilians of Syria to protest in a country where the Assad regime rules with an iron fist.

Given that the rebels did not sent their envoys to the failed peace talks in Geneva, that makes them look like they are only interested in an endless war controlled by ideology rather than by cold hard facts.

However, if you think Syrians are suffering, think again. These people in the picture are not Syrians. The smart ones with the means have already fled Syria, either fleeing to Turkey or to America. It is the unfortunate ones that end up anywhere else, including Jordan and Egypt.

For the people in the photograph are Palestinians, and they suffer due to ideology be it Shi'a or Sunni or even American foreign policy as expedited by Israel, often with prejudice favoring Jews over Arab.

Indeed, the enemy here is not Assad. It is those criminals behind al Qaeda and the Taleban, and especially the Islamic State. No Muslim in their right mind would support them. It is they who threaten, Syria and now Iraq, because their Sharia will ruin both Syria and Iraq were they to win. Any Muslim who supports the Islamic State is Muslim in name only. For the Qatari and Saudis who are behind them are crazy, crazy for oil money, and eager to pay for a holy war, contrary to Islam, all thanks to Big Oil.

Think about that the next time you line up for gas at the gas pumps: your driving privileges support terrorism. It also leads to endless war in the Middle East. So regarding any propaganda about Muslims that you hold, you've been lied to just to manipulate your fears by mainstream media.

If you really cared about the Middle East, then please sell your second car, which you don't really need. Its convenience is echoed in millions of other people with two vehicles actually fund unrest in the Middle East.

Yet, were I to tell this to people filling up their SUVs at the gas pumps, they would be angry due to their fear of losing status among their peers. It is such a waste of money but everyone is doing it, hoping that another recession controlled by powers-that-be won't cause them to lose their jobs.

For all these wars in the Middle East are the doing of elites around the world who want to make a profit from it. Who cares if you lose your jobs? Who cares if Palestinians suffer in Syria? They are also hoping you side with the thinly veiled propaganda designed to cause you to hate the Muslims.

Still, what good does this do except gain more subscribers for the propaganda machine called mainstream media? Indeed, the mainstream media sources are merely propaganda outlets for US foreign policy which has caused much of the civil unrest in the world today. By pushing democracy, America has only caused anarchy in the world.

In my opinion, Muslims were never our enemies. Islamic terrorists did not fly planes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. That is only what the elites want you to believe. You have been lied to.

A jihadi is not Islamic -- he is an Islamist. The term "Islamic terrorist" is used for propaganda, and is only true within context of mainstream media. They are a corporate terrorist network that is nominally Islamic in that they take what is in the Quran and its hadiths only to utterly distort its true meaning.

I'm sure that people who believe otherwise think that what I am writing is propaganda. However, I am telling you truth based on what Muslims tell me. They were never the enemy. That has always been truth. I am just saddened that few people are willing to discover the truth about what Muslims think about those quasi-Muslim terrorists - the Islamists - that the mainstream media write about.

However, it's not up to me to change the minds of bigots. They would rather listen to the propaganda than work to open their minds to Truth.

It is Sayyid Qutb who is the father of Islamism. However, the acts of violent revolution are influenced by his words.

By "setting up the kingdom of God on earth, and eliminating the kingdom of man," Islamists think they are "taking power from the hands of its human usurpers and restoring it to God alone".

Instead, they are taking power into their own hands and forcing sharia in contravention to the Quran by limiting the choices of their Muslim subjects in the Islamic State to submit or die.

Thus, the Islamic State is merely continuing human usurpation and oppression of Muslims by Islamists who are political ideologists bent on total control and domination of the Ummah that they are purported of restoring power to God alone.

Since this has occurred in northern Iraq and eastern Syria, it is still a part of the Syrian crisis. That crisis has proven time and again of being orchestrated by American foreign policy in Syria, and funded by Qatari and Saudi sympathizers of the Syrian rebels.

For the almost-religious zeal of the American government to force democracy on the Middle East, especially Afghanistan, Iraq and even Syria will only lead to more anarchy in the Middle East.

Perhaps then, the Islamic State is only a symptom of that anarchy, which makes Islamism a Muslim answer to globalism. Might that mean jihadi is just another name for "freedom fighter" and the freedom that they are fighting for is the extreme of the right to freedom of religion?

We're Sitting Ducks for an Invasion, Corporate Style (satire)

We should be training children to become ninjas, so that when al Qaeda hits the US again during 911 Part 2, they can save us from mercenaries.

Though by then, everyone will know that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are fronting it, and probably caused the first 911 so that totalitarianism could be embedded in the West. Though by then, they might all be dressed in black suits and carrying briefcases instead.

This is the price we pay for globalism: OPEC collaborating with Shell, Exxon, BP and other multinational oil corporations to steal our rights, all due to the corruption of the elites running our countries.

When 911 Part 2 hits, al Qaeda will be a multinational corporation spreading the product called sharia through economic sanctions. If they want the ports of America, then the Saudis will buy them up first.

The reason why I think children should be trained to be ninjas is for self defense. For the Islamists have plans for the girls and boys as long as they are compliant. If they are trained as ninjas, then the mercenary businessmen don't stand a chance.

As it stands now, if ISIS establish their corporate state of sharia, then it's only a matter of time before they invade the West. However, even CNN has yet to consider that possibility. That's because everyone is a sheep, so they won't send their kids to ninja camp.

Dumbasses.

Poverty's Influence on 9-11 (satire)

After much reflection, I have come to the conclusion that the Afghan and Iraq wars may have been instigated, not only because of 9-11, mainly due to recession caused to US involvement in the Yugoslav wars, the second Gulf War and financial problems caused by globalism. However, it is mainly because of a strong desire for financial gain that a financial recession preceded the wars in both fronts.

Had the US Government and its corporate sponsors not been so focused on gain, perhaps a different scenario might have played out following 9-11. For there is a strong tie between gain and revenge, as evidenced by the many different corporations that played a part in the drama unfolding in Kabul as well as Baghdad.

One strong proof that US-based multi-national corporations may be playing a role in Iraq cones to light in the revelation that a certain VA official who recently stepped down was also the same individual nobody listened to when he stated that a total withdrawal from Iraq would lead to disaster.

When his words came true, the Bush administration lost credibility and their days were doomed.

When Blackwater attacked civilians later, it took seven years to bring six of the men caught in the firefight to be brought to justice. In the fall out of that incident, Blackwater became Academi. As well, there were never any WMD in Iraq. For the Iraq War is the result of a decade of propaganda, and has left Iraq more vulnerable to attack by al Qaeda than ever before.

All that the Afghan War has done is push the Taliban into Pakistan to their backers among the Pakistan warlords. How can launching drone attacks do anything more than polarize the Pakistanis?

Today it has been three years since Arab Spring, and the Syrian uprising has morphed into a purported civil war, with the rebels supported by the US, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. al Qaeda operates on two fronts, through al Nusrah and ISIS, with ISIS being unwanted because of their criminal acts against both sides.

Meanwhile, in northeastern Nigeria, the Boko Haram have stolen over 300 girls, all because GoodLuck Jonathan, the president of Nigeria, has amassed an oil fortune worth billions, billions of oil dollars that he only shares with his in-group. Once again, oil has led to corruption.

In Saudi Arabia, four beautiful princesses are slowly starving to death due to the Saudi King's ill-will towards their mother. This too is due to corruption caused by oil wealth.

In my opinion, financial gain is in part the root of the world's ills because despite seeking it, the world corporations give back very little. Corruption is the result of concentrating wealth in the hands of a limited amount of people. It is this inability to share wealth that is rooted in a certain mindset that believes power and control is determined by the amount of wealth you amass.

Yet the truth is, the more you share what little you have, the better off all of society is. Free-market capitalists will never understand this truth about wealth because they only believe in physical wealth. They do not understand that true wealth consists not only of what you own but also of what is in your heart.

Without generosity, only the richest people are powerful. Because of generosity, even the poor are enriched. That a nation thinks only of Wealth in terms of how to amass it without considering generosity astonishes me. For without charity, what good is wealth?

9-11 was done as a revolt against globalism because of its impact on the Third World and especially on the Middle East. After 9-11, the people fighting for freedom around the world were recast as terrorists, even though it is freedom that they fight for. This includes Chechens, Palestinians, Moroccans, First Nations, Turks, and Uyghurs among many people fighting for the right of self determination. It even includes the Tibetans.

This even includes the freedom of Russians in the Ukraine.

However, with freedom comes the challenge to not morph it into license and abuse the freedom gained from struggle. Rather than using freedom to amass wealth and the challenges that brings, it may be even more freeing to make enough money to afford to life simply. That way, it is possible to avoid much of the problems that financial success brings to us.

For what good is wealth if when you become successful, someone else is going to steal it? It could be a better life to live simply and not to make a lot of wealth, but enough to stay alive without wanting more. However, that takes a lot of sacrifice to accomplish.

None of what happened after 9-11 surprises me. It became unnecessary to use encryption to validate email immediately after until the recent revelation that Canada spies on its citizens. Then the use of HTTPS became more common, though the majority of web traffic is unencrypted because most people assume that by having nothing to hide, there is no point in encryption.

Even so, would you open your router to everyone by removing the password to WiFi access?

Without wealth there is poverty. Yet with poverty, there is the means to climb out of it, not to become immensely successful, but to live simply. And a rich man cannot live simply.

This is what 9-11 has taught me.

Boston Marathon Bombings Preventable (satire)

So, it turns out most world leaders have committed war crimes since 911. Putin committed it by going after the Chechens.

It is now common knowledge that Chechen militants are being aided by the CIA. However, Putin never says publicly that America is helping the Chechens. He just says that they are terrorists but America calls them freedom fighters.

It is possible that the CIA knew the Boston Bombers had gone militant along with their mother. However, they never acted to stop the bombings. The official word is that they didn't know the Marathon would be targeted.

The reason why I mention the CIA connection is because a male relative of the bombers married a CIA contractor's daughter.

My guess is, the CIA knew and passed on the info to the FBI but because the terrorists were not in the US, they didn't follow up in Chechnya.

So the Boston Marathon bombing was preventable.

This is not a failure of the CIA. Rather, it is a failure of the FBI to anticipate the Boston Marathon would be a target.

As well, it is because there are no Chechens helping the FBI that they didn't go to Chechnya to investigate. This is also why CIA need more Chechens to help them when visiting the small nation.

Now they have kept track of the mother of the bombers, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, because she has radicalized. Her accusations after the bombing hints at it. She denies the brothers played a role in the bombing but were set up by the FBI.

However, Tamerlan's interest in conspiracy theories fed her desire to have deeper spiritual connection with Islam as she and her son bought into the conspiracy that America set 911 up to get the world to hate Muslims.

The truth is, certain Gulf States (Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) fund the spread of Salafi ideology among conservative Muslims in Chechen and Dagestan, throughout the Caucasus region of Eastern Europe.

It is most likely Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a conspiracy theory militant rather than a home-grown Islamic militant. This would put him in league with the survivalists rather than the Islamists.

Therefore the FBI and DOJ are barking up the wrong tree.

Currently, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being held on charges of committing the bombing. He has plead not guilty, having being talked into considering his arrest a conspiracy by the FBI to make Chechen Islamic radicalism as bad as the Salafi-inspired radicalism that motivates al-Qaeda and the global Islamic militancy of the Islamists.

If it is a conspiracy theory that 911 was the cause of Islamophobia, then Zubeidat is correct in that part of her ideology. It is likely that she blames the US government for the events leading to what happened on September 11, 2001, especially the ill-advised bombing of a pharmaceutical factory on Sudan by the US military. After that bombing, it turned out that the factory was never a bomb-making facility. In short, whoever gave them that idea probably assumed that the high security implied munitions rather than medication.

However, al-Qaeda is dead wrong about their rhetoric about that mistake since only a single night watchman died in the bombing, not the many lives lost implied by its leader.

In the case of 911, Zubeidat is wrong about America training the terrorists who brought down the Twin Towers in NYC and almost crashed a plane into the Pentagon. Training on jumbo jet simulators does not imply that the US facilitated their training. It only looks that way when you buy into a conspiracy theory that denies that the US government just routinely ignored intelligence shared by Germany due to the politics of the time.

I would also like to point out that the Bush administration never trusted the CIA before 911 as much as the Democrats obviously trust the intelligence community today.

So it should be interesting how Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's trial plays out, considering that he is hedging his bets on the US Constitution to help him avoid the death penalty or a life sentence for the Boston Marathon Bombing.

Just to play devil's advocate, I have an alternative conspiracy theory about the bombing in Massachusetts: both Tamerlan and Dzhokhar were influenced by their mother's conspiracy theory about 911, which she learned by discussing the conspiracy theory contained in books Tamerlan was given by a fellow conspiracy theory believer.

My theory is that the conspiracy theory believers about 911 being an inside job morphed into the Tsarnaev's version in which previous bigotry towards the Muslims inspired the US government to facilitate 911 and the Islamophobia which followed in the years after that horrible day was carefully manufactured by bigots among the religious right who support the Republicans.

For it is bigoted Christians with money and power who donate it to the Islamophobes because of their mutual hatred for Muslims.

Back when the Islamophobes were blaming Islam for 911, I pointed out to a few of them that Sayyid Qutb and the rise of Salafi Islam and Wahabbi ideology inspires the Muslim terrorists aligned with al-Qaeda.

However, Muslim fundamentalism such as Salafi and Wahabbi are not violent at all. Indeed, Sayyid Qutb wrote an anti-American book in Arabic which criticized American women, but was inspired by cultural tradition in Egypt in the 1950s that was even more conservative than America was back then.

Yet Qutb never participated in the Islamist revolution that lead to President Nasser's death after Israel won the war with Egypt. All he did was write a few books that inspired the militants. Indeed, his books later inspired al-Qaeda.

Today, it is Imam al-Sharif who inspires non-violence among former militants. This is how Indonesian and Malaysian Islam is less likely to produce terrorists since Mohammad specifically implied that a Muslim killing a Muslim requires an imam to question the killer until he regrets his sin of killing a fellow believer.

Thus, al Qaeda is not motivated by Mohammad but by ancient battles the early Muslims had to wage in order for Islam to survive in the Middle East, all of them glorified to the point of fanaticism. At that point, the jihadis have lost the greater jihad for the sake of glory fighting the holy war that the lesser jihad they choose inspires.

Even though most Muslims believe in jihad, the term "holy war" actually refers to the Buddhist metaphor about the warrior who kills a thousand enemies having lost the most important battle in a person life was, is and will always be with his ego, not another person.

If you lose that battle in your life, then it is like being a child playing with toys in a burning house. If you cannot find someone wiser than you to change your life around, then the rest of your life will be full of suffering.

For Muslims, Mohammad is wiser than the imams and mullahs. Indeed, he is wiser than the men who ignore the imam's judgement on sharia and put the less wiser choice of oppression against any group they think beneath them, be it women or even Jews. It seems that a Muslim who goes by Sharia and bases his violent ways on a wrong-minded interpretation of hadiths cannot even claim to understand the Koran that he has memorized.

Merely deeming other Muslims less bloodthirsty than them to be unbelievers is done by reason not by God's will. In short, militant ideology is not by God's will but by man's will alone.

Even Mohammad knew this. It is why he waited three years before marrying Aisha. It is also why he never led his people against the Christians.

When Muslims came to them, the Christian Arabs of Yemen left their homeland to become Ghassanids in Syria due to their steadfast belief in Jesus and their unwillingness to become apostate by becoming Muslims - because they feared the Hell that would result from converting to Islam.

Perhaps this is why the Islamophobes are so bigoted against all Muslims, and 911 justifies their hatred of them.

Thus, the Tsarnaevs are seen as this by the Islamophobes: a mother who fled America rather than face possible imprisonment for shoplifting and possibly reconciled with her husband, who left her because she was becoming too Americanized. After 911, she radicalizes not because of Islamist ideology but because of the well-founded belief that America hated Muslims since the US government first backed Israel.

All of the billions of dollars of aid the US government has given Israel only proves that America does not love the Muslims. Small wonder that the development of anti-American sentiments is still a national pastime in many Muslim nations which did not overthrow their Islamist leadership during Arab Spring back in 2011.

In conclusion, the Tsarnaev case must require Dzhokhar's parents to attend, because justice also must be served in Zubeidat's case. She too is a fugitive from American justice for her kleptomania, which suggests the likelihood of a character disturbance. The fact that she bought into a conspiracy theory might be proof of this.

However, she may not return to America because it is likely that she fears the stigma of mental illness even though she might call it an American tool of social control rather than a sincere desire to help the extremely nervous.

We will just have to wait and see how the trial turns out to find out.

As the one year anniversary approaches, this bombing has become the best false flag event ever. Indeed, it beats 9-11. In both cases, foreign powers warned DC about "mad bombers" with 9-11 being forewarned by Germany and the Boston Marathon bombing being forewarned by Russia.

When one looks at the Todashev case, one FBI agent is present with Todashev while the other agent was outside, keeping his friend away. Then after Todashev was shot circa 2326 PM, the agent escorts the friend to a restaurant further away. When the friend returns, Todashev's apartment is covered in police tape.

Judging from the evidence the FBI agents violated standard procedure:

Two agents must be present during any interview with a suspect. Having police with them is not standard. FBI likes to work alone without police because the latter tend to protect their turf, thus contaminating a scene.

This is thus an "assassination" to ensure that Todashev does not expose the Tsarnaev brother as what they are: tentative Muslim "extremists" groomed by agents provocateurs employed by the FBI. Thus, the verifiable evidence in mainstream media is a concocted cover to hide the "truth".

Could it have been a black ops by the CRAFT unit, some of whose members might have murdered a fellow agent that talked to much?

Why we need Muslim terrorists in Canada (satire)

1. They will assassinate drug dealers but never deal in marijuana.
   
2. Sharia law will be enforced, rather than be eroded by anti-religion manifestos like in Quebec. Though the government will have to pay them off to keep their women safe from honor killing and FGM.
   
3. They could be used to keep the Pakistani-Canadian gang members in check e.g. assassinate pedophile Muslims.
   

Seriously though, the Canadian government is going to watch these guys when they return from Syria. It's unlikely they'll be on Muslim criminals' side after becoming Salafi. Those guys are anti-drug to the point of beheading drug dealers in Syria. So, why not use our Canadian al Qaeda to take a bite out of Muslim crime in Canada? Isn't that why the Canadian government sent them to al Nusra Front in Syria in the first place? I mean, we have Canadians there fighting beside the rebels against Assad. They will eventually come home once Assad is overthrown and his army obliterated.

This is probably why no country is supplying the rebels with bigger firepower yet. If only automatic rifles and smaller arms gets to them, then it'll be easier for the Syrian military to keep them at bay. However, it would be stupid to supply them with enough firepower to wipe out Assad, because that would force China and Russia to step in. When you add to this al Qaeda forces coming out of Pakistan, it's not hard to suspect Pakistan's Islamists and Taleban are doing what comes naturally for them, since Pakistan was the staging ground for most of the Taliban of Afghanistan.

Remember: there are up to 100 Canadian al Qaeda at the moment. Think of how useful they will be cleaning up Canadian inner cities from Halifax to Toronto to Edmonton to Vancouver, keeping it free of drug dealers. Sadly though, the security experts predict they will turn to crime and blow up trains and assassinate city councils. That's only if we deny them sharia law courts. However, it's going to cost a lot of money to keep them in line.

I'm sure sending in al Qaeda to take a bite out of crime in Canada is worth it because the RCMP are doing a shitty job of it as of now. The reports of Canadians in Syria fighting for al Qaeda implies they will get tips on how to foment "revolution" in Canada when they return. However, they may also eliminate gang members who offend them, not to steal drugs but to show what happens when sharia is used against drug dealers. Our criminal gangs in Canada are out of control. Legal enforcement and the justice system only recently legislated against gang violence by criminalizing it. However, they still fight with staff in youth custody facilities.

There was a recent incident in BC where a youth detention staff member was severely injured by a suspected teenaged gang member. I bet the government employees union is grieving that. For how can a staff member do his job if he is going to get beat up or killed at work?

While turning Canadian al Qaeda into anti-drug squad is fraught with the risk of death and injury, the risk of death and injury is prevalent in the lifestyle of gang members. The Surrey Six who died needlessly is a case in point.

When you start assassinating your rivals for horning in on your territory, then you are acting in a psychopathic manner that is contrary to the safety and security of law-abiding citizens like the two guys who were pulled in and murdered in cold blood, merely for being witnesses. Instead of targeting the State (the US government) for depriving their gangs of cocaine from Mexican cartels, gangsters in Vancouver plotted to kill off gang rivals in the big fight to distribute the dwindling supply of cocaine.

Overall, the deaths of four gang members and two innocent bystanders is a senseless waste of lives and of time. It was done because one gang tried to extort a "fee" from rival gang members to deal in their territory. When the rivals wouldn't pay up, they were executed. If Canadian al Qaeda are added to this, gang members could hire their services to wipe out other gangs.

However, the risk would be that the al Aqaeda would wipe them out if they don't convert to Islam and fight for the greater good of the imminent Caliphate. Islamists like this will threaten the group dynamics in the prison system if arrested and incarcerated with the general population.

You will see prisoners converting to Islam because the Islamists will protect you to the death. This is happening in the UK right now. It's only a matter of time before it occurs in Canada.

The Qutbs I Do not Admire (satire)

For the record: I do not admire Sayyid Qutb or his brother Mohammad Qutb, because their membership in Muslim Brotherhood helped spread their anti-American propaganda and distinctly pro-Islamic rhetoric.

Now their words are being misused by Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as al Qaeda globally.

This is also why I do not think much of Muslim Brotherhood fronting political candidates among the Maghrebi Arab Spring participants.

If it is true Morsi in Egypt was receiving payola from US Foreign policy department without oversight from the Egyptian military, a known CIA asset, then this is just wrong. That money should have gone to the military.

Most people do not believe it was the CIA that was bribing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This is why I think that the US embassy also had a separate slush fund for Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo. In my opinion, this suggests that the US ambassador to Egypt was "donating" money to the Muslim Brotherhood directly without telling his CIA handler.

This suggests that the CIA and US ambassador are at odds about where their bribe money is supposed to go in Egypt.

This revelation makes the Libya scene involving Benghazi an interesting scenario where the US ambassador there might have been "donating" money to the wrong cause while the CIA were trying to "turn" al Qaeda members.

However, Egypt is proof that bribes only work when nobody exposes it.

وإذا كان صحيحا مرسي في مصر و تلقي الرشوة من قسم السياسة الخارجية للولايات المتحدة دون إشراف من الجيش المصري ، و الأصول وكالة المخابرات المركزية المعروفة ، ثم وهذا هو مجرد خطأ . أن المال يجب ان تذهب الى الجيش .

معظم الناس لا أعتقد أنه كان من وكالة الاستخبارات المركزية التي كانت رشوة الإخوان مسلم في مصر. هذا هو السبب في أنني أعتقد أن السفارة الأمريكية كانت أيضا صندوق طين منفصلة ل مرسي والإخوان مسلم في القاهرة. في رأيي ، وهذا يشير إلى أن سفير الولايات المتحدة لدى مصر كان " التبرع " المال ل جماعة الإخوان مسلم مباشرة دون أن يخبر معالج له وكالة المخابرات المركزية .

هذا يشير إلى أن وكالة المخابرات المركزية و سفير الولايات المتحدة على خلاف حول مكان يفترض أموال الرشوة للذهاب في مصر.

The Cat Has Rabies (satire)

Meeting with President Bush in 2001, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of Saddam Hussein at the time, offered to mediate a resolution between the United States and Iraq. There is an Arab proverb, the New York Times reported the Yemeni president as saying. If you put a cat into a cage, it can turn into a lion. Mr. Bush responded that he had no intention of reconciling, a senior administration official said.

"This cat has rabies," Mr. Bush said, referring to Mr. Hussein, and then added with a bluntness that was said by officials in the room to have shocked Mr. Saleh, "The only way to cure the cat is to cut off its head."

My opinion is the cat was given rabies in the form of military aid by America and earlier the UK. This is a pattern of UK and later American involvement in the Middle East that is tied to oil.

Indeed, Big Oil in the hands of the West and dominated by America is thus a threat to the Middle East and Muslim nations in Africa, according to Al Qaeda. Hence the ISIS' takeover of oil assets in Syria. This also explains the rebels in Libya, their takeover of oil assets in three ports, and the North Korean oil tanker.

NATO's limited role in the Libyan Civil War in 2011 and the failure of the US State Department to secure its embassy in Benghazi a year later are directly related to the current troubles in Libya today. Libya itself is slowly breaking up with not only ethnic tension arising from the Berber community of western Libya but also among Arab tribal clans based on the three classical provinces of ancient Libya: Tripolitania in the west, Cyrenaica in the east and Fezzan in the south.

With rebels holding wells in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, the situation has deteriorated due to political infighting due to the machinations of the Muslim Brotherhood. Due to decades of the Qaddafi regime playing tribes against each other, and bribing a tribe to achieve political dominance here and there, the Libyan people are extremely weary of dictatorships. Their peaceful demonstrations in Tripoli had only turned violent due to militants' presence in the protests earlier last month.

Meanwhile, the military aid given to Israel by America to ensure its survival has resulted in criticism in the Middle East by Muslim nations and is a direct cause of the rise of pan-Arab nationalism and later pan-Muslim nationalism within the region and other hotspots both in Africa, South Asian and Southeast Asia.

Both the Afghanistan and Iraq situation only led to the rise of the al Qaeda armn ISIS to be established in Iraq, only to be exported to Syria after Arab Spring went horribly wrong there. In the case of Syria, the corruption of the Assad regime is well known, especially its exploitation of the Lebanese Civil War in the 1970s and invasion of part of south Lebanon by Israel. Indeed, Syria impoverished Lebanon during that time until it left in 2005.

Thus Assad may consider himself the savior of the Levant, yet he is only the protector of corruption and extortion. It would be interesting to see how Lebanon deals with the many Syrians who automatically became Lebanese citizens between 1980 and 2000, seeing as their citizenship was illegal due to Syrian dominance of northern Lebanon.

Back in Yemen, the "rehabilitation" of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula consists of using the militia to rout out Sunni militancy in south Yemen that favors pan-Arabian nationalism over the republican ideals of the central hegemony in Sana'a. Yemeni government uses oil dollars to bribe tribal clans in northern Yemen. In this way, the Shi'a north is placated to moderate militancy while the Sunni south is forced to accept al Qaeda ideology (pan-Muslim nationalism) at gunpoint.

Here is what the difference between pan-Arab nationalism and pan-Muslim nation is: the former is a united Arab organization that is nominally Muslim but promotes a secular government (think of the failed UAR of Egypt and Syria) while the latter is a worldwide caliphate which considers the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan to be a dupe of America, promoting Sharia law based on tribal customs rather than on the Quran.

Given that Al Qaeda has submitted authority to the Taliban, and that the Taliban originate in Pakistan, it is interesting to note that Yemen is the hotbed of al Qaeda militants due to the drone attacks there. For it is they who aid the ISIS forces in Iraq and in Syria, along with militants from the Maghreb and elsewhere in the world.

Ah, the karma of Cold War politics in Afghanistan is biting us in the ass!

The Moors Declined Due to Economic Competition with the Holy Roman Empire (satire)

I once checked the genetic map for Spain. It turns out that the ancestry of Spanish men were likely to be Greek, Berber, and what used to be called Moorish, along with a few Normans, Carthaginians, and Visigoths.

On the female side, the mitochondria assaying shows a predominantly Western European gene-pool e.g. Christian Hispanics (of Norman and Visigoth ancestry) sealing trade deals with the Moors by marrying off their daughters to predominantly Berber and a few Arabic Muslims.

Indeed, Spain and a part of France, and Sicily was conquered by the Moors, who soon settled into fiefdoms, only to conquer their neighboring Moorish governor if he kept his borders unguarded.

Once the Moors began to encroach on the Christian northlands of the Iberian peninsula, Christian knights in France were beseeched by emissaries of the Pope to rid Hispania of the Moors.

However, during the Moorish domination of Hispania, increased trade led to alliances between Christians, Jews and Muslims. IMO the reason for the Inquisition was originally to ensure piety and forced Christian conversion, so that the Pope's coffers were full of the faithful's tithes (and property when they died without heirs).

So the Colonial Period of Europe was probably due to economic competition with the Muslims. And it is not preposterous to have the Muslims discover America first.

Once the Catholics had the Moors leaving Spain, they at first let the Moors alone, being told they would give up Islam for Christianity along with a few of the Jews. In the end, a mass exodus of Jews left Spain for Constantinople and Asia Minor.

Meanwhile the Moors were forced to accept Christian or be burned at the stake after being tortured by the Inquisitors from Rome, who were Jesuits.

So, it was not just the lust for gold in China that led to Colonial powers of Europe sailing west. It was also the fact that a lot of gold left with the vanquished Moors, and Spain became somewhat impoverished just as the Dark Ages were falling.

Without the Moorish presence, the King and Queen of Portugal had to send explorers to find more gold to rebuild Spain for Western European tastes.

A pity though. The Moors were a cash cow for Europe but the Pope's anti-Muslim bigotry led to the rise of the Plague, since the storehouses of grain probably had less cats keeping the rats at bay due to the wars that drove the Moors out.

Now today, the average European is ignorant of Muslim culture and its history in the Levant and Arabia. So are a great many Americans, whose hatred is unfounded and much Islamophobia is concentrated among neo-conservative religious folk some of whom can barely read science or do their income taxes. As for any sense of history, even their GOP leaders are simpletons about Arab history in the Middle East.

In my opinion, this is probably why 911 happened: to smarten the West up to the fact that it was not Muslims who bombed the World Trade Centres but Islamists and al Qaeda who have made a mockery of Islam by using Salafi and Wahhabi Islam rhetoric in perverted ways.

Meanwhile, these political ideologists are not truly religious but fanatical about Sharia without any compassion or mercy whatsoever. If the descendant of Moors were more organized, then they'd teach the fanatical terrorists about what real Sharia actually is. But alas! They are in an unofficial civil war in Liberia, or dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood west of Tripoli to Morocco.

Indeed, the Arab Spring has yet to bear any fruit of democracy, due to the perversion of Salafi and Wahhabi ideology into its political ideology consisting of being so pious everyone else is an unbeliever and only worthy of death.

Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are their bankrollers, and America and Canada their propagandists.

Get Out of Syria, Al Qaeda Terrorists! / الخروج من سوريا وإرهابيي القاعدة

السلفية هي شكل من أشكال الفاشية الدينية عند واحد من أعضائها تطالب النساء بتغطية وجوههن ويواجه الرجال مكة المكرمة خمس مرات في اليوم بعد غسل أقدامهم للصلاة.

تنظيم القاعدة يأخذ الفكر السلفي خطوة أخرى إلى يزعمون أنهم الآحاد الله المختار وأن جميع المسلمين الآخرين هم الكافرون لحظة والاسترخاء الأصولية من خلال فصل الكنيسة والدولة.

وبالتالي هذا ليس من الإسلام في شيء. لمحمد (الحمد له) لم نشن حربا ضد المسيحيين أو اليهود. بل كان يعاقب اليهود للخيانة ثقته ومنافسيه إنهاء لادعائه النبوة.

حتى معركة الجمل ليست على وشك التمرد والردة، ولكن عن نيتبيكينج على القيادة المنتخبة مقابل القيادة الموروثة، والفرق بين الخليفة المنتخب وسلالة الأئمة.

هذا هو الانشقاق من الشيعة والسنة.

النضال السوري حفر حكومة الأقلية الشيعية، وجميعهم من العلويين، ضد الأغلبية السنية.

ما هو جبهة النصرة آل ولكن واجهة لهيمنة الأميركية في سوريا؟
ما هو آل النصرة ولكن تابعا لتنظيم القاعدة؟ ما هو تنظيم القاعدة في العراق وبلاد الشام ولكن واجهة لمجموعة أصدقاء سوريا؟

وتمول المنظمات الإرهابية على حد سواء من قبل قطر والكويت والمملكة العربية السعودية.

مجموعة سوريا الحرة هو في الواقع منظمة غير حلف شمال الاطلسي التي تمول تنظيم القاعدة والشركات التابعة لها لغزو الأراضي وإقامة الشريعة، والذي يشكل تحديا لحقوق الإنسان بسبب قمعها من الرجال والنساء والأطفال الذين يرغبون فقط في أن يكون حرا.

للشيعة والسنة على حد سواء أحرار عندما لا يحكم الشريعة أراضيهم. وبالتالي آل النصرة والقاعدة ليست في سوريا أن تطلق سراح أحد ولكن لقمعهم مع أحكام الشريعة.
— Translation: English —
Salafi is a form of religious fascism when one of its members demands that women cover their faces and men face Mecca five times a day after washing their feet to pray.

al Qaeda takes Salafi ideology a step further to claim they are Allah's Chosen Ones and that all other Muslims are unbelievers the moment they relax their fundamentalism by separating church and state.

Thus this is not Islam at all. For Mohammed (praise be unto him) did not wage war against Christians or Jew. Rather he punished the Jews for betraying his trust and terminated rivals to his claim of Prophethood.

Even the Battle of The Camel is not about rebellion and apostasy, but about nitpicking over elected leadership versus inherited leadership, and the difference between an elected Caliph and a dynasty of imams.

Such is the schism of Shi'a and Sunni.

Syria's struggle pits a Shi'a minority government, all of them Alawi, against a Sunni majority.

What is al-Nusra Front but a front for American dominance of Syria?
What is al-Nusra but an Al-Qaeda affiliate? What is al-Qaeda of Iraq and the Levant but a front for the Friends of Syria Group?

Both terrorist organizations are funded by Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

The Free Syria Group is actually a non-NATO organization that funds al-Qaeda and its affiliates to conquer territory and establish Sharia, which is a challenge to human rights due to its oppression of men, women and children who just wish to be free.

For Shi'a and Sunni alike are free when Sharia does not rule their land. Therefore Al-Nusra and al-Qaeda are not in Syria to free anyone but to oppress them with Sharia.

Hey! CIA: You Caused 911! (satire)

According to rumor, without a shred of verifiable evidence, Obama's rise to power is seen as a CIA inside job.

Decades ago, the CIA stated in the past that the best way to overthrow a targeted nation is through use of American expressions of mainstream media such as music. It worked in the Soviet Union i.e. when American product was sold on the black market.

However, the US government is making mistakes in the Muslim world because of the tendency to create client states according to American foreign policy. During the Cold War, this meant protecting the world from Communism. Once the Cold War thawed out after 1991, the Soviet threat was no longer valid.

After 911, the new threat became Muslim insurgents in al Qaeda. Yet there was still rivalry between Russia and America. Daily, the American military industrial complex profits from turning Afghanistan and Iraq into client states.

Even so, anti-American protests in the Muslim world are justifiable in the Middle East. Ditto for Occupy Wallstreet.

Originally, the CIA trained the Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan circa 1989 as part of the Cold War. The US government had to pretend it had nothing to do with their training. They were CIA assets.

Rhetoric by America led to the Iraq-Kuwait War, which led to a US bases in Ridayh, Saudi Arabia, compromising its sovereignty. However, it peeved Osama bin Laden and other men in the leadership of al Qaeda that America had placed a military base on Arab soil.

This eventually led to 911.

In a sense, 911 was like America shooting itself in its own foot. Foreign intelligence sources were ignored by the America government. What could anyone do to America?

It is likely that US diplomat Barbara Bodine's spat with FBI agent John P O'Neill over the USS Cole investigation shows the politics played between the CIA, which viewed Yemen as an asset and the FBI, which viewed Yemen as full of terrorists.

In the months preceding 911, rivalry between the CIA, the FBI and the NSA led to communications problems with the White House. Various messages from German secret service indicating an imminent terrorist threat sent to the US government were ignored.

Then it happened: al Qaeda operatives hijacked three passenger jets. While one jet missed its target and crash-landed killing all aboard, this was due to a heroic effort by passengers to overcome the hijackers. However, it was the two jets that destroyed the Twin Towers that supposedly led to the invasion on Afghanistan and later, Iraq.

In 2008 the US Presidency was passed on from a Republican war-bird to a Democrat who represented a new hope for America and the world.

When Barack Obama won the election, Americans hoped things would change. America would get out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and both nations would become strong once more.

However, the invasion of Iraq led al Qaeda there. Once there, they began blowing up funerals, kidnap humanitarian personnel for ransom and sometimes execute them. As well, they would pay families for their disabled sons and daughter to use them as suicide bombers and blow them up by remote control.

Initially America's time in Iraq was successful as long as military personnel were kept on the ball. Any fatalities can be attributed to leaving an occupation force rather than a fully deployed army that is always on the alert. However, al Qaeda demanded a lot of the American forces.

Both Afghanistan and Iraq were won over by the US military through dialog and retraining of troops to deal with local customs and IEDs.

Of course, the stress of living in a war zone took its toll on people. In one case, a soldier cracked and murdered a family, acting like a serial killer. Yet the propaganda machine of America, its mainstream media, kept the details out of the news. By the time the world knew about it and the early embarrassment of Abu Ghraib, it was time to bring the troops home.

This happened before Obama was re-elected in 2012 and is continuing now.

With al Qaeda, America was not dealing with an enemy that plays by the rules. They had taken Salafi ideology and mixed it with rhetoric to glorify killing innocent people while claiming that any one who is an unbeliever is worth only of death and that only they are the true believers, and all other Muslims are akin to unbelievers and only worthy of death.

So the rumor goes.

This rumor is probably based in fact, unlike the rumor that the CIA caused 911 and the even more preposterous one that claims that America paid militants to fly two passenger jet into the Twin Towers and one jet into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Indeed this rumor is false and only conspiracy theorists will rant about it.

After Osama bin Laden was supposedly captured and killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, his body buried at sea, a few members of his leadership were later killed by drones and bombs sent by the Americans. Supposedly Osama was buried at sea to prevent violence at his funeral. This is not a rumor, and it is most likely true.

As well as bin Laden, a few of his leadership were assassinated over the years. Their deaths left a power vacuum.

In their place rose a man whose charisma could convince naive young men to become jihadis eager to kill in the name of Allah. He was leader of al-Jihad Organization which allied itself with al Qaeda. His name is Doctor al-Zawahiri. Currently it is said he is based somewhere in Iraq.

Meanwhile, in Egypt, after being captured and detained in prison in Cairo circa 1995, Dr. Sayyid Imam al-Sharif penned his book, Document for Guiding Jihad in Egypt and the World to help reform the imprisoned Islamist Group (IG) militants in 1997 and the al-Jihad Organization militants in 2007.

A former al-Jihad member from 1987-1993, Imam al-Sharif wrote his book while in prison circa 1995 as his way of revising his militant Islamism into a somewhat gentler Salafi ideology that gave up violence.

After IG reformed it help lead al-Jihad to reform too. However, there are a few men who still keep in contact with al-Qaeda, and is it likely not all of al-Jihad will reform. The radical members of al-Jihad still pose a potential threat to the Muslim world. It is likely some of them have joined al Qaeda or have formed their own terrorist cells in Egypt and possibly elsewhere.

The de-radicalization that happened in 2007 in Egypt has spread to "Algerian, Saudi, Yemeni, Jordanian, Tajik, Malaysian, and Indonesian armed Islamist movements, factions and individuals", according to De-Radicalization of Jihad? The Impact of Egyptian Islamist Revisionists on Al-Qaeda
by Omar Ashour.

It is quite likely deradicalization may have led to Arab Spring. However, not all of its participants have been associated with militants.

In Bahrain's case, the 15 protesters arrested after participating in protests in 2011 were given prison sentences. However, they are no terrorists. Rather they were part of a minority of the Shi'a middle class who work under Sunni and Shi'a employers in the service, computer and other industries. As well, Bahrain is run by the Sunni al-Khalifa dynasty, which dates back to 1783.

Arab Spring in Bahrain began in May 2011 and lasted for about a year. It seems that the last incident which might be related to Arab Spring involved four Bahraini men who tweeted a message in December 2012 that appeared to insult King al-Khalifa.

In contrast, Arab Spring in Syria evolved into an on-going three way war that began in March 2011 between Bashar al-Assad's Syrian government forces versus the Free Syrian Army (FSA) which is controlled by the Syrian National Council currently based in Turkey.

In December 2012, Brigadier General Salim Idris took over control of FSA from Riad al-Asaad who had formed the FSA in August 2011. Free Syrian Army formed in reaction to military hardliners in the government army trying to summarily execute Syrian soldier who refused to shoot civilians. The FSA is composed of former soldiers who defect to defend the people of Syria.

Currently two-thirds of FSA are Muslim Brotherhood (Sunni), and the rest are Christians and mainly Kurds.

Originally founded in 2011, Syrian National Council makes up 22 seats of the Syrian National Coalition which was founded in November 2012. Approximately two-thirds of SNC are Muslim Brotherhood, which will be represented in the Syrian Interim Government.

Looking at the list of 20 nations recognizing the Syrian National Coalition, I was surprised not to see Canada on the list. It is unknown what ties Canada has to the government of al-Assad before September 2011 but is currently sanctioning Syria. Canada is also supporting covert war efforts and also funding an al Qaeda affiliate. Indeed, Canada may be complicit in war crimes in Syria by helping to found the Friends of Syria Group (FSG),

While stating that its end goals were “to support the struggle of the Syrian people for freedom, equal citizenship and democracy”6, the practical purpose of the FSG was to launch a covert war against the sovereign state of Syria by recruiting, arming, funding, infiltrating, and supporting an army of up to 120,000 mercenaries to fight inside Syria for regime change. To that end, a division of labour was established at that founding conference. The deep pockets of the Qatari and Saudi Arabian monarchies were to fund the operation. The front-line states of Turkey and Jordan were to provide base and training camps for the mercenaries, safe (although illegal) passage into Syria, as well as services for the inevitable flood of Syrian refugees.

In essence, this is how Canada's Harper Government is supporting covert war.

It also turns out that Mohamed Dirie, one of the convicted Toronto 18 (read supposed home-grown terrorist) was one of the 100 Canadian Muslims sent as a mercenary to fight again the al-Assad regime.

Canada is also complicit in anti-Assad propaganda such as making "statements castigating the Syrian president and government, meeting representatives of the foreign-backed opposition, closing the Syrian embassy and breaking off of diplomatic relations and blaming the Assad government for the August 2013 chemical weapons incident.

Here is the propaganda Foreign Minister of Canada Hon. John Baird said on December 17, 2011:
"As you know, the Government of Canada has reacted with a strong condemnation of Assad’s campaign of terror.

"These sanctions, in concert with those of our international partners, have isolated the regime and are having a noticeable impact.

"The measures we put in place are not meant to bring further hardship to the Syrian people but to send a message to Assad and his thugs that their actions are absolutely unacceptable. Canada supports the efforts of all peoples to secure basic freedoms, and we look toward the horizon to a new Syria, one that lives in peace with its neighbours and respects the rights of its people.

"Pressure on the Assad regime is not coming just from the West. We have seen Syria’s neighbours and former partners in the Arab League take a strong and commendable stand by formally suspending Syria from the Arab League and imposing tough sanctions on the country. The writing on the wall could not be more clear. The Assad regime has lost all legitimacy and its abhorrent behaviour will not be tolerated."

Most likely, the Houla Massacre on May 25, 2012 was committed by covert mercenaries associated with al Qaeda militants.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL and also called Daesh among Arab League members) is fighting with the Syrian government and the Syrian Free Army (Shi'a). The al Nusra Front (Sunni) - deployed by al Qaeda to Srya - is most likely fighting the government. However, it may also be fighting against ISIL too. Both of these Sunni militias are seeking to carve out small Sharia areas in Syria.

100 fighters from Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham brigade were shot dead by other al-Qaeda militants on or before January 18.

Some of the armed groups in Syria appear to be depending on Captagon, an illegal stimulant. They now have illegal drug labs making the drug.

I'm not sure what this means, but the drug is seen to be safer than amphetamines. Also known as fenethylline, the drug "is metabolized by the body to form two drugs amphetamine (24.5% of oral dose) and theophylline (13.7% of oral dose), both of which are active stimulants".

It is most likely Captagon tablets in Syria are a combination of fenethylline and other amphetamines. In the future, FSA may trade captagon for weapons and munitions.
