Sometimes, the hunter
becomes the hunt and the gunner himself becomes a target. It happens so with
the United States whose ex-President George W. Bush and President Barrack Obama
had been utilizing various forms of terrorism in the last 14 years at the cost
of their own country as well as the whole world, while giving priority to the
Israeli interests.
But, Russian President
Vladimir Putin has played a key role in detecting the real terrorists. In this
context, recent developments in relation to the Syrian crisis such as Russian
airstrikes on the ISIL (Daesh) strongholds in the northern Syria and
Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, its coalition with Iran, Iraq and Syria in
support of President Bashar al-Assad, retreat of the CIA-supported rebels and
mercenaries after their failure to topple his government, proving links of
Al-Qaeda and ISIL with America and Israeli, Putin’s clear-cut statement,
indicating the Zionist regime in the US and Israel for their “fake
war on ISIL”, and remarking, “NWO (New World Order) agents and
Satan worshipers simply have no clothes,” including the Vienna meeting where
the US Secretary of State Jonh Kerry agreed to keep the Syrian president in
power (Contrary to previous demand of regime change), for a unified,
independent secular state of Syria, not to allow ISIL militants group to reign
in Syria, absence of Israel in the meeting and America’s decision of
sending 50 special forces to Syria to help in taking down ISIL
terrorists have clearly exposed the hidden aims of the US global war on terror.
Since the US started war
against terrorism, after the 9/11 tragedy, various political experts have
opined that terrorism comes in a variety of forms such as religious terrorism,
secular terrorism and so on.
Bruce Hoffman, in his
book ‘Inside Terrorism’ writes: “For the religious terrorism, violence is the
foremost divine duty executed in direct response to some demand or
imperative…the secular terrorist sense leads to a sanctioning of limitless
violence against a virtually open-ended category of targets.”
Judging in these terms,
either it is religious terrorism or secular terrorism, while backing the
Zionist Jews and Israeli supremacy in the Middle East in particular and the
world in general, the US which claims to be a secular state, has broken all the
records of violence, genocide and massacre by targeting the Muslims—even badly
affecting the patriot Americans, during the global war on terror.
As regards terrorism,
Machiavelli advises the rulers to have a lion-like image outwardly, and act
upon the traits of goat inwardly. He also suggests them foreign adventures and
the use of terror to obtain their goals. In his sense, a good ruler should be a
good opportunist and hypocrite. While echoing Machiavelli, Morgenthau points
out that sometimes, rulers act upon immoral activities like deceit, fraud,
falsehood and even murder to fulfill their selfish aims.
Although, such a
sinister politics was replaced by new trends such as fair-dealings,
reconciliation and economic development, yet by implementing the old strategies
in the modern era, the then President Bush and neoconservatives who were in
collusion with the Jews and Tel Aviv orchestrated a drama of global war on
terror, following the false flag of 9/11, as they wanted to change Henry Kissinger’s
dream of the greater Israel into reality.
However, under the cover
of the 9/11 tragedy, US employed coercive diplomacy on the weak countries like
Pakistan, Indonesia etc., including almost all the Arab States which joined
America’s war on terror. A majority of these states is still facing more
militancy and internal instability. US-led NATO forces attacked Afghanistan.
Then, a deliberate disinformation campaign was launched by the CIA and
Jewish-controlled media all over the world that Iraq had Weapons of Mass
Destructions (WMDs). In that respect, on the self-fabricated intelligence
report and without mandate of the UN Security Council, American-Anglo forces
invaded Iraq. US-led forces employed state terrorism by special military
operations, extra-judicial assassinations and heavy aerial bombardment, which
killed more than half million innocent persons especially in Iraq and
Afghanistan—and those countries like Somalia and Yemen where the US was
indirectly involved. And suspected Muslims were also kept in Guantanamo Bay,
Abu Graib and other cells, established in some Islamic countries and small
European states where personnel of the CIA, the FBI, and the military employed
various methods of torture like physical violence and even murder.
By availing the golden
opportunity of the 9/11, both Israel and India joined Bush’s anti-terrorism
bandwagon and fully exploited the world phenomena of terrorism and anti-Muslim
approach of the US-led west in order to obtain their secret designs. They
equated the wars of liberation with terrorism. Their forces have been employing
military terrorism such as curfews, crackdowns, sieges, massacre and targeted
killings to maintain alien rule on the controlled territories of Palestine and
Kashmir. Particularly, Tel Aviv’s brutal tactics like use of chemical weapons
against the Palestinians, Gaza blockade and starvation of the innocent
persons—conversion of the area into another concentration camp might be cited
as example.
Meanwhile, President
Obama who had said during his first election, “Bush has made the world the most
dangerous place”, and he would rectify the blunders, committed by his
predecessor in the name of war on terror, continued the same in their worst
form. However, Obama-led Administration went on with various techniques of
ruthless terror and extrajudicial killings of the innocent persons through
illegitimate drone attacks—assisting undemocratic forces, toppling the elected
government in Egypt, and like Iraq, creation of more failed states such as
Libya, Syria etc., and covert assistance to Israel.
If, during the Bush era,
Al-Qaeda was subsidiary of the CIA, ISIL which was also created by that
intelligence agency has been serving similar role, under Obama’s presidency.
The militant acts of both the terrorist outfits in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and
especially in Syria, including other volatile Muslim countries have been
utilized by Obama in distorting the image of Islam and Jihad so as to pacify
American public in wake of multiple internal and external problems like heavy
cost of prolonged ‘different war’, financial crisis, demoralization of troops
in Afghanistan etc., and to justify the US-sponsored state terrorism,
particularly Israeli military terrorism.
Here, sectarian
terrorism is also of particular attention. In this context, the US had planned
to spark a civil war between the Sunnis and Shias. For the purpose, a study of
the leading think tank, Rand Corporation, titled ‘US Strategy in the Muslim
World After 9/11’ was conducted on behalf of the then US Deputy Chief of Staff
for Air Force. Its report which was released on December 27, 2004 advocated
that Sunni-Shia sectarian division should be exploited to promote the US
objectives in the Muslim World.
The report was first
implemented in Iraq. CIA also got the services of Israeli Mossad to fuel
sectarian violence in Iraq. In 2004, major terror-attacks were carried out
against the Shias. Afterwards, a chain of Shia-Sunni clashes started between
Iraqi Shias and Sunnis, targeting each other’s mosques, religious leaders
through bomb blasts, suicide attacks etc. After Iraq’s experiment, more deadly
pattern of sectarian strife and clashes have been conducted in Pakistan, which
still continues in one or the other way.
In March, 2013, an
investigative report by the British Gurdian/BBC revealed that acting under the
direction of the US high officials, atrocities carried out by Iraqi police and
forces in Iraq—unleashed a deadly sectarian militia which terrorized the Sunni
community and germinated a civil war.
Nevertheless, under
Obama, America is still manipulating sectarian differences between Saudi Arabia
and Iran—also noted in Syria and Yemen which have been destabilized due to
civil wars.
Nonetheless, US brand of
war against terrorism which has gained significance after the 9/11 is marked by
confusion about its definition and application. It has been made complicated by
the deliberate propaganda of the Jewish-controlled media, so that, it could
become difficult for the general masses of the world to detect the real
terrorists. In this regard, Palestinian, Afghan and Kashmiri freedom fighters
are waging the wars of national liberation. Therefore, their acts can not be
equated with terrorism.
World history proves
that wars of independence in connection with various nations were their
reaction against subjugation, maintained by alien powers through state
terrorism. In the 20th century, a majority of the Third World countries got
independence after an armed struggle against the colonial powers. Even
independence of the US, unification of Germany and Italy became possible after
an armed struggle. So, question arises that were the peoples of these countries
terrorists at that time?
As a matter of fact,
US-led occupying powers in Afghanistan, Palestine etc. are intruders and hence,
the real terrorists who tend to conceal their own terrorist measures which have
become every day occurrence.
Consequently, main
credit goes to Putin who has exposed the actual terrorists in case of Syrian
crisis and Iraq. Now, it is established fact that Bush, Obama,
neo-conservatives and the related-top officials of America—those of Israel and
other Islamic countries who committed crimes against the larger interest of
humanity, are the real terrorists.
