The world’s attention is fixed on Paris. France is tonight a police state. There is concern over ISIS infiltrating Syrian refugees. And of course, the big question, how will the world rid itself of the Islamic State? But before you listen to one more politician tell you what we need to do, you need to know what politicians knew about ISIS three years ago and the actions they still took. This is a Reality Check you won’t see anywhere else.
It is one of the most viral discussions on the Internet — the U.S. and its allies must stop ISIS. After the Paris attacks that left 129 dead, more than 350 people injured and an entire nation in lock down, there is no doubt ISIS must be stopped.
Shortly after the Paris attack, ISIS fighters recorded a new video claiming that they will soon strike the United States, specifically Washington D.C.
Look, there is no question that ISIS is a serious threat to people everywhere, especially to people in Iraq and Syria who have been decimated by the terror group.
In Syria alone, nine million people have been displaced for fled the country — which makes what I am about to share with you infuriating.
Seven pages of a secret Pentagon document were leaked earlier this year. The report is from 2012 and specifically, it explains the dangers of what the U.S. government is doing in Syria at the time. Remember, that in 2012 ISIS, as we know them today, did not exist then.
Page 3 of those leaked pages state three facts about the situation in Syria.
a) Internally, events are taking a clear sectarian direction
b) The Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood and AQI (Al Qaeda in Iraq) are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.
c) The West, Gulf Countries and Turkey support the opposition, while Russia, China and Iran support the regime.
So to be clear, our Department of Defense (DOD) in 2012 stated that the Russians, the Chinese and Iran were supporting the Assad regime. And that the United States and gulf partners like Qatar and Saudi Arabia were supporting the opposition to Bashar al Assad. But the DOD also made it clear that the major forces driving the opposition were the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda in Iraq and something called the Salafist.
Stay with me. If you don’t know the term Salafist, the Salafist movement is an ultra-conservative orthodox movement within Sunni Islam. The doctrine can be summed up as taking “a fundamentalist approach to Islam.”
Salafist is the preferred term to another term used to describe these fundamentalists—the Islamic cult of Wahhabism, from which ISIS draws their radical, violent, merciless beliefs.
Now, let’s go back to that document.
Because after reading to page 5, and Section 8.C., the DOD report warns, “If the situation unravels there is a possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria, and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered a strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).”
What you need to know is that according to this leaked DOD report, opposition forces, the United States, the Saudis, Jordan, Qatar and more, wanted a Salafist or fundamental Islamic group to take over eastern Syria in order to isolate and overthrow the Syrian President Assad’s regime.
It was a plan to overthrow Assad. Three years later, Assad remains in power, and now the most violent, radical terror group the modern world has ever known is entrenched in parts of Syria and Iraq, while exporting terror to Europe.
So here is the real question—why would we as the American public believe any politician who claims to have a plan for what do with ISIS, when not one leader has ever acknowledged where this group came from in the first place?
That’s Reality Check. Let’s talk about that on Twitter @BenSwann_
This article (Leaked Documents Prove US Wanted ISIS to Emerge in Syria) originally appeared on TruthInMedia.com and was used with permission. Tune in! The Anti-Media radio show airs Monday through Friday @ 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Help us fix our typos: [email protected].
Not surprising really, the USA will stop at nothing in the pursuit of economic growth and world dominance. The hypocrisy is astounding.
If these Documents can be Authenticated, then 1 of 2 things should happen, 1:US and so called Allied Governments need to forcibly removed and tried for War Crimes, if they insist on this denial with the mounting evidence then i’m afraid option 2 should be considered by all opposition Groups. 2: Global Contracts should be issued for their assassination at all costs. Sanctioned by the people for the people!
It will never happen. Mainstream media won’t report it so Americans will never hear this. The axis of evil is really comprised of the media, US corporations / Wall Street, and the politicians.
If this was true the “mainstream media” would get incredible ratings. All that they carw about. It ain’t news. America and many other powers have done the same. Yes, we need to get our fucking nose out of other’s business. Who is calling for that, other than me?
Finally, the people are realizing the truth and saying what really needs to happen. I am finally feeling hope for humanity, especially in
America, since this is where all our worlds problems stem from. Now, if only millions more people could open their eyes to these truths. Great job Christopher. Now go forth and keep speaking the truth until those fascist pigs get whats coming to them.
The facts are right, but the names are, unfortunately wrong. I am ‘salafist/wahaabist’ myself and I do not support or sympathise with ISIS, Al-qaeeda or any other terrorist effort. Such is the case of my salafi friends, colleagues and teachers, many of whom have studied religion under senior scholarship in the heart of Saudi Arabia and still keep touch with them.

So you’re not an ISIS sympathizer like the rest of the salafists/ wahabists, because you still keep I touch with your teachers?
Thanks for clarifying.
Twist it around to fit your agenda. He said he is not a sympathizer and that he knows his friends are not, as well, because he keeps in touch with them. Muricans, itchin’ for a fight, any fight.
So where is this document on which these claims are predicated?
I was prepared to believe whatever the article had to say because I’m deeply distrustful of the US, but this is as real as a 3 dollar bill. These supposed official government documents are full of glaring grammar mistakes which mark them out as obvious fakes.
Thoughtleader, you are as ignorant as most of the rest of the republican party in America. How can you not see for yourself without this proof that we are the problem around the world. We stick our nose in everyones business. Let me ask you this. Would you like anyone or group of people trying to get every bit of info about you or your life or try to tell you how to live your life? I know the answer is no, so how can you still be so god damned stupid and say what you say? Wake the hell up moron.
