	Al Qaeda & Islamophobic bigots 
	
	working in tandem exploiting fear and ignorance.
	
 
	
	In France where people are sent to jail for 
	"Holocaust denial," considered by law a religious hate crime, it seems 
	strange then that well timed, raunchy cartoons designed solely to insult and 
	inflame hate against and amongst Muslims worldwide would be defended 
	vigorously by French politicians who claim,
	
	according to the Christian Science Monitor, that,
	
		
		"freedom of the press 
	should not be infringed."
	
	
	With Neo-Conservative warmongers behind
	
	a recent inflammatory film titled, "The Innocence of Muslims," and their 
	counterparts amongst radical sectarian extremists leading violent protests 
	across the Middle East and North Africa.
	
	 
	
	It would almost seem as if the 
	publication of insulting cartoons by a French paper, "Charlie Hebdo," was 
	part of a grander strategy to create a manufactured conflict between Islam 
	and the West, setting the stage for more overt military operations to take 
	over faltering covert operations in Syria and beyond.  
 
	 
	 
	
	
	France - and The West 
	- are Playing Both Sides 
	
	It is a fact that France itself has provided state sponsorship of terrorism 
	from Libya to Syria, arming, funding, and politically backing the very 
	groups taking to the streets, burning Western consulates, and killing 
	bystanders, diplomats, and security forces alike.
	
	
	 
	
	
	
	France had armed,
	
	trained, funded,
	
	and provided air support for
	the 
	UN-listed terrorist outfit, the
	
	Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) last year in Libya, in their bid to 
	overthrow the government of Muammar Qaddafi.

						addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. 
						
						Harati is now 
						commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria 
						attempting to destroy the Syrian government and 
						subjugate the Syrian population. 
						
						Traditionally, this is 
						known as "foreign invasion." 
						
						France is one of a handful 
						of nations currently leading state-sponsorship of 
						terrorist groups like LIFG in Syria. 
 
					
				
			
		
	
	
	LIFG had merged officially with Al Qaeda, 
	according to a US Army West Point Combating Terrorism Center report in 2007, 
	long before the French knowingly aided and abetted these terrorists in their 
	bid to overthrow and overrun Libya. 
	
	 
	
	Currently, the government of France is 
	funding and arming these very same terrorists, who promptly transferred 
	weapons, cash, and fighters
	
	to Syria to begin terror operations there.
	
	The report titled, "Al-Qa'ida's 
	Foreign Fighters in Iraq" stated specifically: 
	
		
		The apparent surge in Libyan recruits 
		traveling to Iraq may be linked the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group’s (LIFG) 
		increasingly cooperative relationship with al‐Qa’ida, which culminated 
		in the LIFG officially joining al‐Qa’ida on November 3, 2007. (page 
		9, .pdf)
	
	
	France had recently announced its intentions to 
	overtly arm these terror groups operating in Syria, now exposed by Human 
	Rights Watch as carrying out systematic and widespread atrocities against 
	the Syrian population.
	
	The Hindu, in their article, "France 
	to fund opposition in Syria," reported:  
	
		
		"Reuters quoted a “diplomatic source” as 
		saying France had started supporting parts of Syria that are apparently 
		being controlled by the armed opposition. More alarmingly, the report 
		pointed out that Paris was considering supplying heavy artillery to 
		anti-government fighters  -  a move that would harden the possibility of a 
		full-blown civil war in the country." 
	
	
	Now France, through its media, and the 
	complicity of its politicians' tacit support, is providing their new 
	terrorist allies with something else - a casus belli for confrontation with 
	the West to reinsert in the public's mind the adversarial plot device needed 
	to introduce more direct military intervention where the covert support of 
	listed-terrorist groups has now seemingly failed. 
 
	 
	 
	
	
	The Lie We Are 
	Expected to Believe 
	
	What we are now expected to believe is that France, the US, UK, and other 
	nations were benevolently, and unwittingly helping these groups into power, 
	only to be betrayed by extremists.
	
	In reality, the nature of these militant groups was known years in advance, 
	these groups specifically chosen to lead the violent subversion of Western 
	targets across the Arab World - with the possibility of sectarian genocide 
	and significant blowback acknowledged as an acceptable risk.
	
	In 2007, an article by Seymour Hersh published in the New Yorker titled, 
	"The Redirection" admitted that:  
	
		
		"To undermine Iran, which is predominantly 
		Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure 
		its priorities in the Middle East. 
		
		 
		
		In Lebanon, the Administration has 
		cooperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in 
		clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite 
		organization that is backed by Iran. 
		
		 
		
		The U.S. has also taken part in 
		clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. 
		
		 
		
		A by-product of 
		these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that 
		espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and 
		sympathetic to Al Qaeda." 
		
		-The 
		Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007) 
	
	
	Hersh's report would also include:  
	
		
		"the Saudi government, with 
		Washington’s approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken 
		the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. 
		
		 
		
		The Israelis believe 
		that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more 
		conciliatory and open to negotiations." 
		
		-The 
		Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007)
	
	
	Clearly the West, including the complicit regimes of Nicolas Sarkozy and now 
	François Hollande, knowingly funded terrorists. 
	
	 
	
	Hersh's report admits that 
	all parties involved even in 2007 knew full well the potential dangers 
	involved in funding terrorist groups but believed these forces could be 
	controlled: 
	
		
		"...[Saudi Arabia's] Bandar and other 
		Saudis have assured the White House that 'they will keep a very close 
		eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was ‘We’ve 
		created this movement, and we can control it.’ 
		
		 
		
		It’s not that we don’t 
		want the Salafis to throw bombs; it’s who they throw them 
		at - Hezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they 
		continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran.” 
		
		-The 
		Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007)
	
	
	For the West to feign that evidence Al Qaeda is 
	now overrunning the Middle East is somehow an unintended consequence, when 
	officials in 2007 were on record already implementing such a policy is 
	indeed a bold lie. 
	
	 
	
	To help sell that lie, the West is calling on its 
	Neo-Conservative factions, and in particular, dusting off their
	
	Islamophobia brigades led by the likes of Daniel Pipes,
	a member of 
	the Bush administration, a Project for a New American Century (PNAC) 
	signatory, and a chief proponent for war with Syria and Iran, as well as 
	lesser demagogues such as Robert Spencer, Pamella Geller, and David 
	Horowitz.
	
	The creation of a sectarian extremist front to undermine and destroy the 
	governments of Syria and Iran began under Bush in 2007 - Syria and Iran 
	being the specific targets Neo-Cons like Pipes have ceaselessly advocated 
	war with. 
	
	 
	
	That Pipes and his compatriots
	are now claiming the rise of this terrorist front (below video) they themselves helped 
	create  is somehow the result of a "pro-Islam Obama" is immense propaganda 
	designed for the most impressionable minds. 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	
	 
	
	 
	
	 
 
	 
	 
	
	The Plan - Flip the 
	Script (Again) 
	
	In reality, 
	Obama provided left-cover for a singular corporate-financier 
	driven agenda,
	
	decided upon decades ago, and part of the reoccurring patterns and 
	themes 
	that define all empires past and present. 
	
	It appears that the public is becoming increasingly aware that the US has 
	just handed the nation of Libya over to sectarian extremists and is backing 
	brigades of these same terrorists, now operating in Syria. 
	
	 
	
	The operation in 
	Syria seems to have reached a stalemate, with the further arming and backing 
	of increasingly visible terrorist forces a politically untenable option.
	
	It appears that the alternative plan is to flip the script once more, 
	turning Al Qaeda - who began as celebrated freedom fighters battling Soviets 
	in the mountains of Afghanistan, to reviled terrorists waging a decade of 
	war on America in Iraq and Afghanistan, to freedom fighters seeking to oust 
	Qaddafi and President Bashar al-Assad, to once again back to reviled, 
	embassy attacking, ambassador-killing thugs.
	
	Seemingly fully committed to tipping off a "clash of civilizations," the 
	ground is being prepared for false flag attacks and preparing public opinion 
	for more direct military intervention in places like 
	
	Syria and 
	Iran. 
	
	 
	
	The 
	failures of the last four years of corporate-financier driven policy is 
	being compartmentalized around Obama and will be flushed with his presidency 
	either in 2012, or 2016 with the hopes that the agenda itself will survive 
	and carry on.
	
	An Obama win in 2012 would allow the West to continue funding terrorists 
	more openly worldwide against the governments of Syria, Iran, and even 
	Russia and China - blaming it all on "Pro-Islam Obama." 
	
	 
	
	A Romney victory 
	would allow more aggressive, direct military intervention. 
	
	 
	
	Either way, the 
	nations of,
	
		
	
	
	...will continue to find themselves 
	in the firing line of both covert and overt foreign military aggression. 
	
	The overall agenda is global corporate-financier hegemony, the destruction 
	of the nation-state, and the primacy of Wall Street-London dictated 
	"international law" for an "international order" corporate-financier 
	think-tank policy maker
	 
	Robert Kagan concedes,
	
		
		"serves the needs of the United States and its 
	allies, which constructed it." 
	
	
	By recognizing the singular agenda front-men like 
	Bush, Obama, and Romney 
	cover for, we can expose the
	corporate-financier special interests truly dictating Western policy. 
	
	 
	
	By 
	understanding that it is corporate-financier interests, not politicians, 
	that drive these nefarious, overarching agendas, we can formulate solutions 
	based upon
	
	undermining and replacing their power and influence, rather than 
	becoming absorbed in short-sighted political battles that ultimately change 
	only the front-men, not the agenda itself.
