De
invasie en bezetting van Syrisch grondgebied door tienduizenden
jihadstrijders, dit om de vijand van de VS weg te krijgen, ofwel om
Assad af te zetten als president, werd vooral mogelijk gemaakt door de VS. Eric Zuesse publiceerde hier gisteren een artikel over op
Strategic Culture Foundation.
Jammer
dat hij in zijn artikel niet ook aandacht heeft geschonken aan de
eerste gebeurtenissen in Syrië (in 2011), die zogenaamd in het kader stonden van de arabische
lente, terwijl deze ‘opstand’ in Syrië door de CIA
werd georkestreerd……
Zuesse
vraagt zich in zijn artikel af wie er betaalde voor de tienduizenden
jihadstrijders, die voor een groot deel overigens vanuit het, door de
VS en haar oorlogshond, tevens terreurorganisatie NAVO, zo goed als vernietigde Libië werden aangevoerd door de VS,
Saoedi-Arabië en Egypte. Het ging hierbij zelfs om terreurorganisatie IS (ISIS) Veelal werden deze terroristen en die van andere ‘gematigde terreurgroepen’ vanuit Irak
Syrië binnen geloodst…… Samen met de verstrekking van wapens en
training van de terreurgroepen, moet deze operatie een enorm kapitaal hebben gekost…..
Volgens
Zuesse (en daar zal hij het gelijk aan zijn kant hebben) heeft de
belastingbetaler in de VS het meest bijgedragen, gevolgd door de
familie Saoed, je weet wel de familie van de huidige koning Salman al-Saoed en de
psychopathische moordenaar* tevens kroonprins Mohammad bin Salman
(MBS)…… Verder hebben de grote internationale oliemaatschappijen
van de VS, denktanks en ‘goede doelen organisaties’ (zoals Avaaz….)
de rest van de kosten opgehoest……
De
training van de terroristen werd voornamelijk door de CIA gedaan en
bekostigd door Saoedi-Arabie…..
Lees het
volgende artikel van Zuesse en laat je niet langer voorliegen door de
reguliere (massa-) media, die mede verantwoordelijk zijn voor de
illegale oorlogen van de VS, immers zij hebben die oorlogen
gepromoot, ook al lagen de leugens er dik bovenop…….. Neem o.a. de periode voorafgaand aan de oorlog tegen Irak, waar VN wapeninspecteur Blix
de media heeft platgelopen om te vertellen dat Irak al lang geen
massavernietigingswapens meer had……. De media deden destijds
vooral meewarig over Blix, terwijl hij de autoriteit was op dat
gebied……. Nooit hebben die media een rectificatie geplaatst vanwege alle gepubliceerde fake news en leugens…….
Een smerig zootje beste bezoeker, een verhaal waarin ook de Bilderbergconferentie een rol speelt. Een verhaal waarin een klein deel van de vuile machinaties door Obama als president in gang gezet, nog even uit de doeken wordt gedaan……
Who
Was Secretly Behind America’s Invading and Occupying Syria?
ERIC
ZUESSE |
26.12.2018 | SECURITY / WAR
AND CONFLICT| WORLD / MIDDLE
EAST
The
invasion and occupation of Syria by tens of thousands of jihadists
who were recruited from around the world to overthrow Syria’s
President Bashar al-Assad, was financed mainly by US taxpayers and by
the world’s wealthiest family, the Sauds, who own Saudi Arabia and
the world’s largest oil company, Aramco. America’s international
oil companies and major think
tanks and ‘charitable’
foundations were
also supportive and providing propaganda for the operation, but the
main financing for it came from America’s taxpayers, and from the
Saud family and from the Government that they own.
One
of the best articles that the New York Times ever published
was by Mark Mazzetti and Matt Apuzzo, on 23 January 2016, “US
Relies Heavily on Saudi Money to Support Syrian Rebels”.
They reported that, “the
C.I.A. and its Saudi counterpart have maintained an unusual
arrangement for the rebel-training mission, which the Americans have
code-named Timber Sycamore. Under the deal, current and former
administration officials said, the Saudis contribute both weapons and
large sums of money, and the C.I.A takes the lead in training the
rebels. … From the moment the C.I.A. operation was started, Saudi
money supported it.” Furthermore,
“The White House has embraced the covert financing
from Saudi Arabia — and from Qatar, Jordan and
Turkey.” But “American officials said Saudi Arabia was
by far the largest contributor to the operation.” The invasion and
occupation of Syria by jihadists from around the world was primarily
a Saud operation, though it was managed mainly by the US Government.
Prior
to the failed US-backed coup-attempt on 15 July 2015 to replace
Tayyip Erdogan as Turkey’s President, Turkey was part of the
U.S-Saudi alliance to overthrow and replace Syria’s Government. But
afterwards, Turkey increasingly switched against the US and Sauds,
and toward instead supporting the target of the Sauds and of
America’s aristocrats: Syria. And, so, Turkey has increasingly joined
Syria’s alliance, which includes Iran and Russia. That’s one of the
major geopolitical changes in recent decades.
The NYT continued: “The
Saudi efforts were led by the flamboyant Prince Bandar bin Sultan, at
the time the intelligence chief, who directed Saudi spies to buy
thousands of AK-47s and millions of rounds of ammunition in Eastern
Europe for the Syrian rebels. The C.I.A. helped arrange some of the
arms purchases for the Saudis, including a large deal in Croatia in
2012.”
The
US preferred to be supplying the jihadists weapons that weren’t
from US manufacturers, in order to impede any tracing back to the
United States the arming of the movement to oust and replace Syria’s
secular, committedly non-sectarian, Government. The Sauds — who are
just as committedly sectarian, and are even supporters of the extreme
fundamentalist Wahhabist sect of Sunni Islam — likewise tried to
cover their tracks in this operation, but their tracks were
financial. The Sauds have been especially skillful at covering their
tracks. Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud was a buddy of George W.
Bush, and had secretly donated over a million dollars in cash to Al
Qaeda prior to the 9/11 attacks, according
to Osama bin Laden’s financial bagman,
who had picked up personally each one of the million-dollar-cash
donations to that organization until 9/11 and who named amongst those
donors not only Prince Bandar but also Prince Salman al-Saud, who
subsequently became King Salman, who is now the father of Crown
Prince Salman, who recently murdered the columnist Jamal
Khashoggi. “In
late 2012, according to two former senior American officials, David
H. Petraeus, then the C.I.A. director, delivered a stern lecture to
intelligence officials of several gulf nations at a meeting near the
Dead Sea in Jordan. He chastised them for sending arms into Syria
without coordinating with one another or with C.I.A. officers in
Jordan and Turkey. Months later, Mr. Obama gave his approval for the
C.I.A. to begin directly arming and training the rebels from a base
in Jordan, amending the Timber Sycamore program to allow lethal
assistance. Under the new arrangement, the C.I.A. took the lead in
training, while Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency, the
General Intelligence Directorate, provided money and weapons,
including TOW anti-tank missiles,”
Crown Prince Salman is also a close friend of America’s current
‘prince’, Jared Kushner, the US President’s son-in-law. So, the
Saud family are very close with America’s Republican aristocrats,
perhaps even closer than they are with America’s Democratic
aristocrats. But especially because of the business links, the Sauds
are deeply influential throughout America’s aristocracy. Not only
is Saudi Arabia the world’s most oil-rich country, but
it is also the world’s largest purchaser of weapons from Lockheed
Martin and the other American ‘defense’ contractors, which sell
exclusively to the US Government and to the governments that are
allied with it (such as to Saudi Arabia). So, those
corporations depend upon the Sauds more than upon any other family,
even than any single American family.
The
Saud family are also crucial
allies with Israel’s aristocracy,
who include such American billionaires as the Republican Sheldon
Adelson and the Democrat Lesley Wexner.
Prince
Bandar was also
reported by the FBI to have financed directly from his personal
checking account the US stays, and the pilot-training, of at least
two of
the 15 Saudis who were among the 19 jihadists who carried out the
piloting and plane-seizings on 9/11. So, if Bandar didn’t (perhaps
in consultation with George W. Bush) actually plan those attacks
himself, he at least was one of their chief financial backers.
The NYT article
also mentioned that “In late 2012, according to two former senior
American officials, David H. Petraeus, then the C.I.A. director,
delivered a stern lecture to intelligence officials of several gulf
nations at a meeting near the Dead Sea in Jordan. He chastised them
for sending arms into Syria without coordinating with one another or
with C.I.A. officers in Jordan and Turkey. Months later, Mr. Obama
gave his approval for the C.I.A. to begin directly arming and
training the rebels from a base in Jordan, amending the Timber
Sycamore program to allow lethal assistance. Under the new
arrangement, the C.I.A. took the lead in training,
while Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency, the General
Intelligence Directorate, provided money and weapons, including TOW
anti-tank missiles,” so as to conquer Syria, for
the Sauds.
These
authors were, however, misguided when they wrote that “While
the intelligence alliance is central to the Syria fight and has been
important in the war against Al Qaeda, a constant irritant in
American-Saudi relations is just how much Saudi citizens continue to
support terrorist groups, analysts said.” That
“support” to jihadists, to the extent that it was financial, came
actually not from “Saudi citizens,” but from the Saudi
aristocracy, mainly from the Saud family itself. Moreover, in a
monarchy — which Saudi Arabia is — there are no
actual “citizens”; there are only the monarch and his or her
“subjects” not “citizens” (citizens such as exist in a
democracy — even it’s only a so-called one). There are only the
monarch and his/her subjects — especially in an absolute monarchy,
such as Saudi Arabia. So: that term “citizens” was a
false and misleading term in that context.
On
6 March 2013, Britain’s Guardian bannered regarding
General Petraeus “From
El Salvador to Iraq: Washington’s man behind brutal police
squads” and
reported his having created the death squads in El Salvador and
designed the post-Saddam Iraqi torture program for trying to extract
from detainees (though the Guardianfailed to note this) whatever
information they might have about Saddam Hussein’s role in the 9/11
attacks. Nothing was mentioned in the Guardian, about 9/11, but
only that “The aim: to halt a nascent Sunni insurgency in its
tracks by extracting information from detainees” — but nothing
was said there about what type of “information” was
being sought, or why. “With Petraeus’s almost unlimited access to
money and weapons, and Steele’s field expertise in
counterinsurgency, the stage was set for the commandos to emerge as a
terrifying force.” But force for what? The Guardian offered
nothing on that.
Thierry
Meyssan at Voltairenet, on 9 May 2011, headlined “What
you don’t know about the Bilderberg-Group” and
he wrote: “The
operation was controlled in reality by William J. Donovan, the former
commander of the OSS (the US intelligence service during the war),
now in charge of building the American branch of the new secret
service of NATO, Gladio [2]. … Moreover, the security of each
subsequent meeting was not provided by the police of the host
country, but by the soldiers of the NATO Alliance.” Meyssan
said that “Henry
Kissinger is the main person responsible for invitations to the
Bilderberg Group.” Another
of the “core group” was “Henry
R. Kravis: US financier, investment fund manager KKR. He’s a major
fundraiser for the Republican Party.” Meyssan
called this “The
Lobby of the most powerful military organization in the
world [NATO].” Furthermore:
During
the last US presidential elections, it was reported that Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton disappeared on June 6, 2008, in order to
negotiate an end to their rivalry. In reality, they participated in
the annual conference of the Bilderberg Group in Chantilly, Virginia
(USA). The following day, Mrs. Clinton announced that she was
retiring from the race. …
According
to our sources, something else happened. Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton concluded a financial and political agreement. Senator Obama
bailed out his rival financially and offered her a position in his
administration (Clinton refused the vice-presidency and instead chose
the State Department) in exchange for her active support during the
campaign against McCain. Then, the two leaders were presented by
James A. Johnson to the Bilderberg Conference, where they assured the
participants that they would work together. [Hillary had a solid
record and reputation as a neoconservative and as a supporter of
overthrowing Syria’s Government.] Barack Obama had already
been NATO’s candidate for a long time. [But
his campaign rhetoric had nonetheless caused worries amongst the
Establishment.] Mr.
Obama and his family have always worked for the CIA and the Pentagon.
[3]
Moreover, the initial funds for his campaign were provided by the
Crown of England, via a businessman named Nadhmi Auchi. [See,
e.g.: this and this and this and this.] In
presenting the Black Senator to the Bilderbergers, the Atlantic
Alliance was, in fact, organizing public relations at the
international level for the future president of the United States.
Of
course, that was even before Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
On
11 December 2018, Meyssan headlined “Whom
does Emmanuel Macron owe?” and
he wrote that, “he owes his electoral campaign mostly to Henry
Kravis, the boss of one of the world’s largest financial companies,
and to NATO – a considerable debt which weighs heavily today on the
solution to the Yellow Vests crisis.” Macron had first met “Henry
and Marie-Josée Kravis, in their residence on Park Avenue in New
York [1]. (This meeting probably took place in 2007. Thereafter,
Emmanuel Macron systematically visited the Kravis couple whenever he
was in the USA, and Henry Kravis welcomed him in his offices on
Avenue Montaigne when he visited Paris.) The Kravis couple, unfailing
supporters of the US Republican Party, are among the great world
fortunes who play politics out of sight of the Press.” Furthermore:
In
December 2014, Henry Kravis created his own Intelligence agency, the
KKR Global Institute. He nominated at its head the ex-Director of the
CIA, General David Petraeus. With the Kravis couple’s private funds
(the KKR investment funds), and without referring to Congress,
Petraeus pursued operation «Timber Sycamore» which had been
initiated by President Barack Obama. This was the largest weapons
traffic in History, implicating at least 17 states and representing
many thousands of tons of weapons worth several billion dollars [7].
As such, Kravis and Petraeus became the main suppliers for Daesh [8].
On
6 June 2017, Meyssan headlined “Confrontation
at Bilderberg 2017” and
wrote:
There
exist no photographs of the meeting of the Bilderberg Group, whose
work is confidential. Security for the meeting is not handled by the
FBI, nor the Virginia police force, but by a private militia
organised by NATO.
The
Bilderberg Group was created in 1954 by the CIA and MI6 in order to
support the Atlantic Alliance. …
The
2017 meeting is also described there: Among the Board of Directors,
mostly international corporate luminaries, was “Marie-Josée
Drouin-Kravis: Economic columnist in print and broadcast media in
Canada. Researcher at the very militaristic Hudson Institute. She is
the third wife of Henry Kravis.”
Both
Petraeus and his two KKR sponsors are regular attendees at the
Bilderberg meetings. What financial stake — if any — in assisting
the Sauds to take over Syria, KKR has, is not known. But if there is
such, then the US Government’s recent decision to quit its military
occupation of Syria will presumably be, to that extent, unfavorable
for KKR, and unpopular amongst the 150 companies in which it holds
stock.
The
great investigative journalists Dilyana
Geytandzhieva, Andrey
Fomin, Manlio
Dinucci,
Thierry Meysan, and the South
Front site,
have, in several articles, documented that the Governments of US,
UAE, Qatar, and mainly Saudi Arabia, are financing and
overseeing a multibillion-dollar privately operated weapons-smuggling
operation to Sunni jihadist groups such as Al Qaeda in Africa, the
Middle East, Pakistan, and Asia. Meyssan
writes:
In
less than three years, Silk Way Airlines transported at least one
billion dollars’ worth of armament.
One
thing leading to another, journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva uncovered
a vast system which also supplied the jihadists not only in Iraq and
Syria, but also in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Congo – also paid for
by the Saudis and the Emiratis. Some of the arms delivered in Arabia
were redirected to South Africa.
The
arms transported to Afghanistan were delivered to the Talibans, under
the control of the US, which is pretending to fight them. …
Although,
according to the international treaties, neither civil nor diplomatic
flights are authorised to carry military material, requests for
recognition as «diplomatic flights» require the explicit detailing
of the cargo transported. However, at the request of the US State
Department, at least Afghanistan, Germany, Saudi Arabia,
Bulgaria, Congo, the United Arab Emirates, Hungary, Israël,
Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic,
Turkey and United Kingdom closed their eyes to this
violation of international law, just as they had ignored the CIA
flights to and from their secret prisons. …
According
to Sibel Edmonds – ex-FBI agent and founder of the National
Security Whistleblowers Coalition – Azerbaïdjan, under President
Heydar Aliyev, from 1997 to 2001 hosted in Bakou the number 2 of
Al-Qaïda, Ayman el-Zawahiri. This was done at the request of the
CIA. Although officially wanted by the FBI, the man who was then the
number 2 of the international jihadist network travelled regularly in
NATO planes to Afghanistan, Albania, Egypt and Turkey. He also
received frequent visits from Prince Bandar ben Sultan
of Saudi Arabia [11].
International
relations are controlled by international corporations, but the
identities of the persons who control those are often hidden; so,
it’s not easy to say whom has been enriched by the invasion and
occupation of Syria. And, probably, there won’t be funding for
investigative journalists to do the costly research to find out whom
those persons actually are. But they controlled both Obama and Trump,
both of whom carried out their policy on Syria.
