The Destruction and Political Fragmentation of Iraq. Towards the Creation of a US Sponsored Islamist Caliphate

The Destruction and Political Fragmentation of Iraq. Towards the Creation of a US Sponsored Islamist Caliphate

The Western
media in chorus have described the unfolding
conflict in Iraq as a “civil war” opposing the
Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham
against the Armed forces of the Al-Maliki
government.




(Also referred
to as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS))




The conflict
is casually described as “sectarian warfare” between
Radical Sunni and Shia without addressing
“who is behind the various factions”. 
What
is at stake is a carefully staged US
military-intelligence agenda.



Known and
documented, Al Qaeda affiliated entities have been
used by US-NATO in numerous conflicts as
“intelligence assets” since the heyday of the
Soviet-Afghan war. In Syria, the Al Nusrah and ISIS
rebels are the foot-soldiers of the Western military
alliance, which oversees and controls the
recruitment and training of paramilitary forces.



The Al
Qaeda affiliated Islamic State of Iraq (ISI)
re-emerged in April 2013 with a different name and
acronym, commonly referred to as the Islamic State
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The formation of a
terrorist entity encompassing both Iraq and Syria
was part of a US intelligence agenda. It responded
to geopolitical objectives. It also coincided with
the advances of Syrian government forces against the
US sponsored insurgency in Syria and the failures of
both the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and its various
“opposition” terror brigades.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.

Scoop: Ethiopia: Gov't Prepares Assault On Civil Society

Scoop: Ethiopia: Gov't Prepares Assault On Civil Society (New York, July 1, 2008) - Ethiopia's government should immediately abandon plans to impose strict government controls and draconian criminal penalties on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said today. The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
