No doubt, every country
has a superior intelligence agency to protect the national interest of the
state. It keeps a vigilant eye on the internal and external threats. Even
by playing a double game, it thwarts the anti-state subversion through various
means.
Quite contrarily, from
the very beginning, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been
protecting the interests of the Zionist Jews and Israel at the cost of the
Islamic World and even patriot Americans.
The doctrine of the CIA
is based on roguish tactics which are employed in the target countries through
its invisible warriors and paid agents—NGOs. The agency is also in
collaboration with the Israeli secret agency Mossad and Indian RAW. Besides the
western countries, CIA agents are present in all the Islamic countries and have
been implementing various tactics of psychological warfare which includes vile
propaganda, disinformation, political dissent, arrangement of military
rebellions, overthrow of regimes, incitement of uprising, creation of ethnic
divisions, sectarian violence (And division), assassination of political
leaders and renowned persons—criminal elements to foment subversion to weaken
the Muslim states in consonance with the Israel-led American policies. However,
application of these designs varies from country to country.
In this regard, military
coup against Indonesian President Sukarno and afterwards his assassination
might be cited as instance. When the US former Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger had threatened to occupy the oil installations of Saudi Arabia, in
response, Saudi King Shah Faisal also warned to stop oil supply to America. As
a result, King Faisal was killed by his own nephew who was clandestinely
supported by the CIA.
From the very beginning,
the CIA kept eye on the nuclear programme of Pakistan, which was taken as a
threat to both Israel and India. In this context, in an interview to a private
TV channel on April 4, 2010, the former deputy chief of the US mission in
Islamabad Gerald Feuerstein revealed, “He was a witness to the meeting between
former premier Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and former US secretary of state Henry
Kissinger in Lahore in August 1976…Kissinger came with a carrot and stick…since
US elections were near and the Democrats were set to win them and wanted a
tougher non-proliferation approach and might make Pakistan an example…Bhutto
rejected the warning to disband Pakistan’s nuclear programme.”
Afterwards, Bhutto’s
government was toppled in 1977 by a CIA-backed coup of Chief of Army
Staff Gen. Zia-ul-Haq who hanged him through the court, which is considered a
judicial murder in Pakistan. Besides Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, her daughter and the
ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto was also martyred by CIA operatives through Al
Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
After the September 11
tragedy in the US, almost all the Muslim countries joined the Bush’s fake
global war on terror, and they became the target of the CIA covert wars. In
this respect, in words, President Bush repeatedly said that his ‘different
war’, is not against the Muslim countries. But, in practice, only Islamic
countries were targeted in the pretext of terrorism or Al Qaeda which, itself,
was created by the CIA, and became a scapegoat of American secret activities to
obtain the goals of Zionists and Israel.
Being the only nuclear
power in the Muslim World, Pakistan has been coping with the CIA roguish
tricks. In 2009, Pakistan’s media had pointed out the US notorious private
security firm—Blackwater in the country with a new name as Xe Services. As part
of the US espionage network, hundreds of the CIA agents and those of the
Blackwater entered Pakistan under the guise of diplomats. They started
conducting anti-Pakistan activities by their affiliated militants including
their Pakistani agents. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI)
castigated the anti-Pakistan activities of the Blackwater and CIA. It compelled
America to roll back the network of Blackwater and reduce the number of
diplomats.
It is notable that in
connivance with the Zionist-controlled media, CIA launched a propaganda
campaign that Osama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda were behind the 9/11
catastrophe. Despite Bin Laden’s denial, Afghanistan was occupied by the US and
NATO, as propaganda was so strong that even, America’s western allies were
impressed.
Similarly, before the
invasion of Iraq in 2003, a deliberate disinformation campaign was launched by
the CIA all over the world that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs).
In that respect, a self-fabricated report was prepared. Afterwards, Iraq was
attacked and occupied by the Anglo-American forces, but no WMDs were found.
John Stockwell, ex-CIA
Station Chief in Angola in 1976, who also worked for the director of the CIA
under George Bush (Senior) and spent 13 years in the agency, confirmed the US
Central Intelligence Agency’s expanding operations in a report. Stockwell’s
report indicated that since the 2006 US-led Ethiopian invasion of Somalia, “the
CIA maintains a growing security complex in the country, located right behind
Mogadishu’s Aden Adde International Airport. The complex contains over a dozen
buildings as well as several metal hangars, which house CIA aircraft.” Another
report by United Press International claims, “The CIA complex contains a prison
for the suspected militants who are routinely interrogated and tortured by the
members of a Mogadishu-based CIA team.”
As regards the CIA role
to exploit the Iranian election protests in 2009, its programme involved
playing the media as well as having secret agents on the ground in Iran. In
this connection, in May 2007, ABC News reported that the CIA had received
secret presidential (Bush) approval to mount a covert “black” operation to
destabilize Iranian government.
Starting from Iran,
protests and armed clashes inspired by the CIA resulted into revolt in Tunisia,
expanding uprising and demonstrations to Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria,
Yemen, Lebanon, Bahrain, Syria and Libya.
On March 31, 2011, the
Guardian revealed that the President Obama had signed a secret order
authorizing covert help to arm Libyan rebels. On May 20, 2011, The Guardian
indicated, “US President Obama placed Washington on the side of popular
uprisings not only in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya but also in Syria and Bahrain—a
longtime American ally.” It wrote, “President unveils shift in US policy
towards Arab countries—tells Syria’s Assad to get out of way.”
On March 2, 2011,
Yemen’s President Saleh, describing the role of CIA and Israeli Mossad, disclosed,
“I am going to reveal a secret…there is an operations room in Tel Aviv run by
the White House with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world.” Saleh also said,
“Opposition figures meet regularly with the US ambassador in Sanaa.”
Nevertheless, in line
with the Obama’s strategy, CIA agents succeeded in ousting Tunisian President
Ben Ali, Egyptian Mubarak (a close ally of the US) and Libyan President
Col. Gaddafi, toppling the elected government in Egypt as part of the policy of
the regime change in accordance with the Israeli agenda.
It is mentionable that
Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme for energy purposes was taken as a threat to
Tel Aviv. Hence, Tehran’s atomic move was exaggerated by the CIA and Zionist
agents. Although Iranian nuclear issue has been settled in the recent past
through a deal with the US, yet Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu calls it
American historical blunder. In fact, Tehran’s support to Hezbollah which also
defeated Israel in 2006 and Iranian-Syrian joint stand for Palestinian cause
irritate Israel.
While, America claims
itself champion of human rights. Both Bush and Obama are responsible for the
illegitimate killing of innocent persons in Pakistan and some African countries
by allowing the CIA-operated drone attacks. Since 9/11, the US-led troops,
supported by CIA have carried out indiscriminate mass round-ups in catching up
suspected Muslim men and women in Afghanistan and Iraq including some Arab
countries without evidence. Israeli Mossad has helped the CIA officials in arresting
the Muslim men, having beard and ladies, wearing scarves.
Notably, in March, 2013,
an investigative report by the British Guardian/BBC pointed out that acting
under the direction of the top US officials; the CIA utilized a global network
of secret prisons, foreign intelligence agents and torture centers in various
Islamic countries including Belgium etc. where torture was conducted directly
by American intelligence operatives. The report which also mentioned
Bagram and Guantanamo, links US high officials to atrocities carried out in
Iraq—unleashed a deadly sectarian militia which terrorized the Sunni community
and germinated a civil war, and claimed tens of thousands of lives. And Iraq’s
Abu Ghraib prison was another example of CIA terrorism.
In this regard, besides
encouragement of Israeli brutal tactics on the Palestinians, CIA conducted
Shia-Sunni violence in Iraq and Pakistan. Now, terror-attacks on sectarian
lines could also be noted in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. While, CIA which also
formed ISIS (Daesh) is also utilizing its militants in creating and
manipulating Shia-Sunni divide among the Islamic countries as noted in case of
Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
President Obama’s dual
policy franchised both Al-Qaeda and ISIS to advance the agenda of the Zionists,
Israeli lobbies and the neoconservatives. Covertly, Obama authorized CIA to
create ISIS. Some recent developments such as CIA-assistance to Al-Qaeda
(Al-Nusra Front) and ISIS terrorists in fighting against the Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad and against the Iraqi regime, and smuggling of oil by the ISIS
(Kurd-controlled regions) to the European countries, America’s
frustration over Russian successful airstrikes on the ISIS strongholds in the
northern Syria, its coalition with Iran, Iraq, Syria and Hezbollah in support
of President Assad has clearly exposed the covert aims of the US phony global
war on terror. Therefore, CIA and Mossad used ISIS terrorists to conduct the
November 13 terror attacks in Paris. These agencies were also behind the
shooting in San Bernardino, California on December 2, which left 14 people
dead.
Thus, by re-producing
anti-Muslim phenomena of the 9/11 tragedy like the propaganda of the so-called
threat of Islamophobia, persecution of the Muslims in the US and other western
countries etc., CIA has succeeded in its designs. The US has got the assistance
of its western allies (NATO) against Russia. It has also deviated from its
previous stand that Assad will remain in power and future of Syria will be
decided by its people. Some unexpected developments like Turkey-Russian
tension, increase of Russian military in Syria, dispatch of American Special
Forces in Syria, participation of the UK, movements of France’s troops and
naval units near the Syrian border, similar move by German troops in the
Syria-Iraq battlefield, Turkey’s deployment of larger military units close to
the Syrian border (And inside Iraq), acceleration of their airstrikes on ISIS
etc. show that instead of a broader coalition (Including Russia), the west has
chosen the US-led anti-ISIS alliance either to oust Assad or to kill him like
the Libyan President Col. Gaddafi, after throwing the country into endless
anarchy. Another scenario is that proxy war may prolong in Syria. But, US-led
alliance will try to occupy the Syrian oil installations.
It is of particular
attention that in June 12, 2015 The Washington Post wrote, “Key
lawmakers have moved to slash funding of a secret CIA operation to train and
arm rebels in Syria…as 20 percent of the classified funds flowing into a
CIA program that U.S. officials said has become one the agency’s largest covert
operations, with a budget approaching $1 billion a year…the measure has
provoked concern among CIA and White House officials, who warned that pulling
money out of the CIA effort could weaken U.S.-backed insurgents. The White
House declined to comment…U.S. officials said the CIA has trained and equipped
nearly 10,000 fighters sent into Syria over the past several years.”
At present, in the US
where the presidential election-campaign has started, ordinary Americans are
focusing on internal problems such as financial crisis, cost of war etc. which
are the result of prolonged war on terror. Patriot Americans are openly
criticizing the Zionist-protected policies of the US, putting questions that
they are paying taxes to the CIA and military establishment (Their huge
budgets) which are fighting useless proxy wars in the world for the sake of
Israel.
However, in wake of the
present drastic scenario, some analysts warn of global war between the US-led
alliance and the Russia-led coalition, while some are predicting about world
war 111 or nuclear war, and some are talking about “Clash of Civilizations” in
the sense of Huntington.
Nonetheless, such a
dangerous situation will destroy the entire world or is likely to throw it in
an era of civil war, enveloping Israel itself. Question remains that for whose
protection CIA has been waging secret battles.
