Iraq falling to Islamic militants: what the media isn't telling you about WHY

Recommended Posts

Revolution is democracy.

We need to learn our lesson from all this, and our crooked leaders need to face the courts for their war crimes IMO.

As far as I know we've killed many many more innocents than ISIS. No wonder they hate us and our superior killing technologies.

It's a mess we created ourselves.

Its kinda backwards here lol but unlike most other western democracies the decision to deploy or not is exclusively in the executives domain ie the prime minister. There is no consultation or debate in parliament or with the broader public. Ludlam has recently put forward a bill on this exact issue.

Has been talk of IS ability to sustain and supply infrastructure stuff like, water, electricity, safe roads, food etc things that generally keep nations going could be a deciding factor in terms of local support

and yet it seems only muslims are beheading people of a different faith or country,

nothing backward about that at all

And running over innocent children with military vehicles because they 'might' be a threat is not backward? Talk to some Aussie soldiers who have been to iraq or even afghanistan, they have had to do these barbaric atrocities because they have been ordered to, no wonder post traumatic stress was so high when returned... Hand out the Lithium just so they can live with what they did, they didn't putbthat in the news did they?

see that's the thing......How could you live with the memories of having done such things?

Its was manageable when it was a cultural norm to hate & kill other cultures for profit & nationalism, just swallow hard ...suppress any rise of humanism....accept the daily dose of propaganda..& be proud you are a murder/solder/boy........

its just infantile behaviour..........

most of the pundits I heard that were against the iraq invasion said it would lead to a civil war o'er there...

go figure ... yesterday some lady on faux noose was bitching that only great britain and australia were

the only ones who stepped up to offer help and she was pissed cause the saudis didn't wanna come

out of their palaces to help fight but instead just make donations to their neighbors to do the war trot

same bitch could have easily been mistaken for george bush's ass crack it was difficult to distinguish

at least when those non muslim arabs were trapped in the mountains we sent them food... no better

way out of a conflict than a food fight....

joking aside that situation is very fucked up and I think its being fueled by alot of ppl who aren't ready to reveal themselves

not that the invasion itself didn't make recruitment easier than picking weeds out of a garden... suddenly there are articles

titled "Was Putin Right"

in my most leaping assumption, I think the almost war in Syria several months ago was a stage to draw Iran into a war

as Syria has pledged backing from Iran.. Putin stepped in and put a stop to it.. next thing you know american interest

was in Ukraine helping to push the movement to join the euro or some shit which for whatever reason would help to

isolate russia financially... the same channel has been saying Isis has access to 2 Billion dollars and is selling

millions worth of oil on the underground market each day,... but then they only requested 6.6 million for this latest

lady hostage? The war hawks are anxious for conflict, and of course they make a lot of money everytime their

investment get blown up.. I honestly think its some ultra covert op that has gone haywire, at least to some extent.

or perhaps intended to go haywire... but I just have a gut feeling that someone is trying to draw someone else

into a bigger war and if that is true, which it seems very much, I wouldn't be surprised if there some coalition of

groups that want to draw USA into conflict... you can tell by the way they talk on the media that its beyond just

a profiteers war... some of those fuckers look genuinely worried ..

Interesting also is the very name Isis...

I saw this story once about a land many many years ago called Israel... and the story says it was named

as such due to the fact that 3 opposing people were able to come togeter in peace... and they were

the followers of Isis, Amun Ra, and El'ohim... Isisrael... shrugs... maybe this is the platform they'll sacrifice

the lamb with or sum shit

anyhow lots of fanciful speculation, but I just can't help it, especially this early in the a.m.

I'm against Islam and the Sharia law simply because I know a little about it's contents that the masses do not know about.

Islam is more political then religious to begin with. Much of it's contents is about how to deal with the Kafir. Kafir boils down to non muslim,.... good deal of violence, subjugation and forcing to convert. These are also some of the reasons Islam was able conquer the middle east and de Mediterranean within a very short period of time.

Many do not realize that the dark ages in Europe were also in great part caused by the expansion and rule of Islam. Also that the atrocities of the Crusades and Christianity pale in comparison to what Islam has done in the first 1400 years. Not that Christianity is that good either. The difference is that Islam requires you do so aggressively, because it is written,..... and with Christianity is isn't that clear cut, that you need to go out conquer and subjugate (which happened anyway).

I do not want to pit Christianity against Islam,... I do not like religions that much ,.. cept that they have left behind a dramatic and colorful history, art & culture for us to behold. Might have been brutal, ugly and even beautiful, but we are still influenced by it nowadays and therefore unfortunately have to deal with it.

The other thing about religions that once you begin to see the common message and read between the lines, they can truly be a source of inspiration, just like poetry can inspire, and give insights into the spiritual world. That is one reason I like and respect it.

I truly appreciate the people that are all about unconditional love and understanding (who read between the lines of their religions through common sense) and have therefore been able to let go of the old constraints or paradigms. Buddhism is indeed the most progressive of all the spiritual practices in my opinion.

Back to why it is failing; "ISLAM!" is the short answer. It is simply how their holy books Koran, Shira and the Hadit are put together. Big theme is to follow in Mohammed his example and to simply go out and conquer and subjugate and convert. Because that is what Mohammed did most of his life........ kill, conquer and subjugate!

I think that religions can in fact be inspiring... but the exception would be the 3 forms of abrahamism... which are much more like malicious software... you might see a nice inspirational quote on the net, click to read more and it takes you to a porn site, that installs a trojan, and before you know your, your home page is set to internalconflict.com, but your computer reacts and says "Demons and/or infidels and/or Goyim ahead, would you like to reformat your hard drive?" ... to proceed click yes. If not here is some Kool Aid. You know you are going to burn in hell for eternity if you don't reformat, now drink your kool aid bitch... ..... eh.. the very idea of a god sending you to hell for not obeying, or being able to figure out which denominations particular rules are accurate, points to the behavior of in fact a devil... for whom else would say, obey me and do as I wish or you will burn for eternity? Of course I know not all xtians believe in a literal hell, they have to bend the picture somwhat to rataionalize their own twisted psychology.

Islam is just the last example of a case where one of the three left the marriage of governance and religion intact... and the ahskenazim, thats a whole differen can of worms... the old testament is filled with language which supports classism and racism and encourages chosen one syndrome aka, god complex @ moral superiority (aka jewish arrogance) because they follow whatever stupid cultural rules that they do... the big excuse seems to be "oh it was different in those days"

the fact is, the story which is the foundation for all 3 religions, starts out with a god figure asking a man to cut his child in half to prove his honor to god and no one thinks its insane... in the bible god destroys an entire people, even intentionally flooded the planet cause ppl were unholy... PPl here in the bible belt who have conformed or brainwashed firmly from the beginning of their childhood are known as "God Fearing Christians"... why in the fuck would you use the word "FEAR" in connection with what is supposed to be a loving god? A loving god whose book reminds us that in the old days, the bigot class were encourged and allowed to smite many a man on his behalf... if the fucker was real that would be a straight up terrorist but i guess we'd have to see if we could get a fair trial in coury by a jury of our peers... http://armageddonconspiracy.co.uk/The-Trial-of-God(2458014).htm

Christianity has one majorly positive attribute and that is that a large percentage of modern xtians have evolved different denominations which evolved by taking into account the lessons of the past, whereas the zionists and muslims are still like spoiled ass psychotic kids who continue to throw rocks and firecrackers...I do understand the muslim response, hell I would be pissed too with the occupation... anyone willing to commit the atrocites of IS or even a more milder example, to make all the women dress up in robes and cover their faces, is living in a real fucking backwards psychotically challenged culture.... not that it gives any validity or justification for the provocations which go back and forth between the feuding brothers... back in the dark ages, when the templars and masons weren't corrupted bodies of nationalists (the mason attitude varies around the world though a mason will tell you all brothers share the same morals BULLSHIT) they actually took on the atrocities of the church and effectively shut it down... Christianity is mild in comparison to the insanity of Judaism and Islam, only because it was shattered into 40,000 pieces which have all evolved into more tolerable forms of ridiculousness. if there is ever going to be a more peaceful middle east, with sustainabile peace for the long term, it will be due to the elimination or absolute shattering of the abrahamic paradigm...

just like the masons had to operate in secret for hundreds of years operating against the will of the catholic church, muslims who would rather just not be hateful also have to work in the shadows at least in many parts of the mideast... we all know how cruel humans can be when you seem different to the local customs and status quo, and in muslim culture this example is quite extreme... where folks who don't want to convert this way or that way are literally executed... There are more peaceful examples of muslim cultures... For example Iran has the most living Jews and I think xtians too.. Major difference between the Shi'ites and the Sunnis for sure... I don't think the atrocities of the christian dark ages pale in comparision... They are equal in comparison... to say the atrocities of christianity are not as bad as the islamic atrocities is like saying rape is okay if you do it nicely. Mistreatment of our fellow brothers and sisters, particularly murdering them, is equally as bad no matter what method is preferred... there may be some stupid examples in history of what men consider to be "Freedom" but if you understand what was being tolerated in those times, then you can sort of get an idea of what types of solutions we may have to consider if there is ever to be a legitimate intervention.

People like us, Woof Woof, who don't exactly vibe with the religious ppl around us , would have absolutely been castrated a few hundred years ago for expressing our views honestly... and depending on what time period, that could have been by xtians, muslims and jews... and so I think I should be proud to express mine so openly on the internet.. I might catch a hater or two, but shit I don't have to live with pent up hate though I often find myself disgusted with the sugar coating I encounter.... Yeah my view might be a little extreme sometimes but ultimately my wish is that at some point we can make sure each and every kid, from every race, creed and nationality, gets a clean start and a fair chance at an open mind... I can work with christians and even the more open minded and gnostic sort of branches of islam and judaism, however I cannot tolerate classism, racism, mistreatment of our species... IMHO murder is only okay when murdering a murderer, which is essentially saving innocents by removing the trouble maker.

I think hitler was wrong to exterminate the jews but I do believe he had a legitimate beef with a small minority of them which were successful in subverting the jewish mentality in support of their empires... and here we are today, decades later, and centuries past many older examples dealing with apparently an untouchable minority who are the benefactors and inheritors of great fortunes, of long passed dividers and conquerors. But I think anyone who looks at the big picture and who wants to make the world a better place, cannot do so in ignorance of the psychological disorders whose roots are found dangling in the 3 dominating holy books... we're talking about the idea, that some of the most intelligible people on earth, have accepted answers to unanswerable questions, by relying on the advice of ancient prophets... and this leads to the question of separation of church and state.... my question would be how do they pull it off? so if a Mormon becomes president, he only has Mormon views one day per week and the rest of the week he is a rational D00d??? C'Mon Now!

I don't think buddhism is a bad haven for peaceful people.. there is a lot of fine wisdom written about from the east, but its just that you don't find those neutral groups on the front lines of change... here is something I found on a rose croix site straight out of the pages of Morals and Dogma: The first Masonic Legislator whose memory is preserved to us by history, was Buddha, who, about a thousand years before the Christian era, reformed the religion of Manous. He called to the Priesthood all men, without distinction of caste, who felt themselves inspired by God to instruct men. Those who so associated themselves formed a Society of Prophets under the name of Samaneans. They recognized the existence of a single uncreated God, in whose bosom everything grows, is developed and transformed.

It would be nice if modern buddhists took on this example but just like any religion they tend to evolve in different directions, just as has freemasonry which in some places is quite respectable but in other places is more on the ridiculous side... lodges used to be held together by brotherhood and common causes, and nowadays, at least in the american lodge system, its a system of convenience only held together by dues paying cardholders, with plenty turning their backs to corruption.

Im pretty sure some of the lodges here are still segregated there was some contraversy a few years ago regarding black and white lodges. If you want to hear an ethical mason speak I think one should look into Manly P Hall theres a ton of his lectures online but he's very monotone and not very a.d.d. friendly... though its worth toughing out for a nice peaceful message and tons of wisdom... but for anyone who gets offended that I think modern masonry is stupid in many places, theres a quote by Manly that says, the true mason is a often times the wanderer without a lodge... I bring up masonry and any esoteric society for the reason that it is COMPLETELY relevant, though I don't cast any blame on any particular group for any of the worlds problems but rather just to point out that we have not conquered the darkness in humanity and instead in our path we've changed our habits in free societies to the point that we've become the best friend of Greed and its quite sad that so many can't see the dangers of materialism.. American lodges in particular are strife with greed and corruption and yet its ez to cause some tension by pointing it out.. Occasionally one might meet a younger inspired masons who is gonna set the world on fire, usually a positive message and all that jazz but then you look at the old examples and realize they havent done shit but collect dues and donate to charities for a century or more... So anyways I don't think any solutions will be coming out of masonic lodges, but again I bring it up because I think its the greatest example in history for handling unchecked abrahamic based cultures which have gotten

out of hand on the human rights issue.

im sorry but I just feel like ppl tend to sugar coat one form or murder and brainwashing because another group does it more gruesome and violently. often times you can't finish a conversation about this with an xtian without them pointing to a more hanus example of cruelty, as if thats some sort of justification for the abuses of the past or even the struggles we're still dealing with today... Psychologically I think we have become so indifferent because theaters are so filled with violence and gore... im not anti hollywood magic or anything but I view television as being the only true gateway drug, and what it does by virtue of propaganda and sales psychology is rewire our reward centers in the name of sales... seems innocent up front but the consequence could very well be that it leads to crumbling societies... Its certainly not making our cultures any better... The only way to move dramatically closer to world peace, is to destroy the other two abrahamic viruses in perhaps the same way christianity was shattered when religious governance found the height of its abuse, and that was when good uncorrupted brothers, operated in the dark to bring down the beast... only when you destroy the root of the problem will we be free of this terrible nightmare. ABRAHAMISM in all shapes and forms, is a stain on the human race.

religion, quite inspiring indeed.

did abbott make a unilateral decision to arm an opposition force inside iraq without informing the iraq government/ambassador?

well, it looks like it,

“As you know [iraq] is a sovereign country and [the weapons plan] should go through the central government which is Baghdad and that is the proper protocol … or at least consult with the central government and then you can give it to a province like in Kurdistan, just like if I want to give weapons to Victoria, I should go through Canberra in order to pass it to Victoria,” he told Sky News.

Asked if he thought the weapons should go to the Iraqi government first, not directly to the Kurdish Peshmerga, the ambassador said: “That’s correct. That’s supposed to be to that central place and then [it] gets distributed wherever it’s needed … we look at this as really out of the protocol.”

But he said he was yet to express this view to the Australian government.

“Not yet unfortunately – we haven’t had the chance to meet just recently to talk about,” he said.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/isis-is-americas-new-terror-brand-endless-propaganda-fuels-war-on-terror/5398675

n the wake of World War I, erstwhile propagandist and political scientist Harold Lasswell famously defined propaganda as “the management of collective attitudes” and the “control over opinion” through “the manipulation of significant symbols.”[1] The extent to which this tradition is enthusiastically upheld in the West and the United States in particular is remarkable.

The American public is consistently propagandized by its government and corporate news media on the most vital of contemporary issues and events.

Deception on such a scale would be of little consequence if the US were not the most powerful economic and military force on earth.

A case in point is the hysteria Western news media are attempting to create concerning the threat posed by the mercenary-terrorist army now being promoted as the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, or “ISIS.”

As was the case with the US intelligence asset and bogey publicized as “Al Qaeda,” and Al Qaeda’s Syrian adjunct, “Al Nusra,” such entities are—apparently by design—inadequately investigated and defined by major news media. Absent meaningful historical context they usefully serve as another raison d’ểtre for America’s terminal “War on Terror.”

A seemingly obvious feature of such terrorist forces left unexamined by corporate media is that they are observably comprised of the same or comparable personnel unleashed elsewhere throughout the Middle East as part of a strategy proposed during the George W. Bush administration in 2007.[2]

With the above observations in mind, ISIS is well-financed, militarily proficient, and equipped with modern vehicles and weaponry. It also exhibits an uncanny degree of media savvy in terms of propagating its message in professional-looking videos and on platforms such as YouTube and Twitter. “Western intelligence services,” the New York Times reports, claim to be “worried about their extraordinary command of seemingly less lethal weapons: state-of-the-art videos, ground images shot from drones, and multilingual Twitter messages.”[3]

Along these lines, ISIS even received a largely sympathetic portrayal in a five-part series produced and aired by the Rupert Murdoch-backed Vice News.[4] Indeed, Vice News’ “The Spread of the Caliphate” is reminiscent of the public relations-style reportage produced via the “embedding” of corporate news media personnel with US and allied forces during the 2003 conquest of Iraq.

The overt support of ISIS, combined with the fact that it is battling the same Syrian government the Obama administration overtly sought to wage war against just one year ago, strongly suggest the organization’s sponsorship by Western intelligence and military interests.

ISIS’s curious features are readily apparent to non-Western news outlets and citizenries. For example, Iran’s PressTV recently asked its readership, “Why does the ISIL have such easy access to Twitter, Youtube and other social media to propagate its ideologies?” The answer choices are, “1) Because the ISIL has very capable technicians who can best use social media, or 2) Because the US and Britain have provided the ISIL with unrestricted social media platform.” Note that the first choice is the overarching assumption of Western media outlets. Yet perhaps unsurprisingly, 90 percent of PressTV readers selected choice two.[5]

No such queries are so much as alluded to by major corporate media, all of which are united in the notion that ISIS is an essentially indigenous phenomenon. Yet as coverage of the events of September 11, 2001 and subsequent state-sponsored terrorism indicates, such media are essentially a component of the national security state, their reports and broadcast scripts all but overtly written by intelligence and military organizations.

In the wake of 9/11 US news media seldom asked about the origins of Al Qaeda—particularly how it was a product of US intelligence agencies. With the history of Al Qaeda omitted, the Bush administration was permitted to wage war on Afghanistan almost immediately following those staged attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Yet as is much the case with today’s manufactured ISIS phenomenon, that history was readily available, and its careful public examination might have implicated the United States intelligence community in the 9/11 attacks. “During the Cold War, but also in its aftermath,” Michel Chossudovsky observes,

 

the CIA—using Pakistan’s military intelligence apparatus as a “go between”—played a key role in training the Mujhadeen. In turn, the CIA-sponsored guerrilla training was integrated with the teachings of Islam. Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have consistently supported the “Militant Islamic Base”, including Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda, as part of their foreign policy agenda. The links between Osama bin Laden and the Clinton administration in Bosnia and Kosovo are well documented by congressional records.[6]

 

As the United States and world approach the thirteenth anniversary of the most momentous false flag in modern history, the American public would be well-served to remind itself that ISIS is the new Al Qaeda—in other words, the new pretext that will in all likelihood be used by to take police state measures at home and military aggression abroad to new, perhaps unprecedented, levels.

With the above in mind, it is telling that one of the US government’s greatest fears isn’t ISIS at all. “The FBI’s most recent threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats,” the Washington Free Beacon reports, “despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.”

Instead, the nation’s foremost law enforcement agency is preoccupied with what it deems “domestic extremism” exhibited by its own subjects.[7] A primary manifestation of such “extremism” is possessing the curiosity to discern and seek out truths and information amidst the barrage of manipulated symbols the government and corporate-controlled media use to undermine a potentially informed public.

FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Islamist Terrorism

The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.

 

 

Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam.

 

 

They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists.

 

 

“Domestic extremist violence continues to be unpredictable and, at times, severe,” the report states.

 

 

A copy of the unclassified, 60-page National Threat Assessment for Domestic Extremism, dated Aug. 14, was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. It warns that the threat of domestic-origin extremism was moderate in 2013 and will remain so for this year.

 

 

“Domestic extremists collectively presented a medium-level threat to the United States in 2013; the FBI assesses the 2014 threat will remain close to this level,” the report said.

 

 

On black separatists, the report warned that “high-profile racially charged crimes or events” could lead to an expansion of black separatist groups. The report identified three such groups as the New Black Panther Party, the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, and the Black Hebrew Israelite group as extremists under FBI scrutiny.

 

 

An alternative assessment section in the report warned that radical black activists could “reinitiate violence at the historically high levels seen for the movement during the 1970s, when bombings, assassinations, hijackings, and hostage-takings occurred.”

The unlikely coalition of Kurdish peshmerga fighters, Shi'ite militias and the U.S. air force won a major victory when it broke a siege of the Shi’ite Turkman town of Amerli last week and drove Islamic State from 25 nearby Sunni towns and villages.

But the aftermath is far from what the Americans envisioned.* Smoke now rises from those Sunni villages, where some houses have been torched by Shi'ite militia. Others are abandoned, the walls daubed with sectarian slogans.

“There is no way back for them: we will raze their homes to the ground,” said Abu Abdullah, a commander of the Shi’ite Kataib Hizbollah militia in Amerli.

The area is now held by Kurdish peshmerga and Shi’ite militia, who have become the most powerful forces on the ground, rather than the Iraqi army, whose northern divisions collapsed this summer when Islamic State attacked.

By the time IS was expelled from around Amerli, many Sunni civilians had fled, fearing for their lives. They have few places to go and are too frightened to return.

to put that last image in context

“Ethnic Cleansing Works”

In 2006, the Armed Forces Journal published an article by retired Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters, titled, “Blood Borders: How a better Middle East would look.” In the article, Peters explains that the best plan for the Middle East would be to “readjust” the borders of the countries. “Accepting that international statecraft has never developed effective tools — short of war — for readjusting faulty borders, a mental effort to grasp the Middle East’s “organic” frontiers nonetheless helps us understand the extent of the difficulties we face and will continue to face. We are dealing with colossal, man-made deformities that will not stop generating hatred and violence until they are corrected.” He states that after the 2003 invasion, “Iraq should have been divided into three smaller states immediately.” However, Iraq is not the only country to fall victim to “Balkanization” in Peters’ eyes, as, “Saudi Arabia would suffer as great a dismantling as Pakistan,” and “Iran, a state with madcap boundaries, would lose a great deal of territory to Unified Azerbaijan, Free Kurdistan, the Arab Shia State and Free Baluchistan, but would gain the provinces around Herat in today’s Afghanistan.” Further, “What Afghanistan would lose to Persia in the west, it would gain in the east, as Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier tribes would be reunited with their Afghan brethren.” Peters states that “correcting borders” may be impossible, “For now. But given time — and the inevitable attendant bloodshed — new and natural borders will emerge. Babylon has fallen more than once.” He further makes the astonishing statement that, “Oh, and one other dirty little secret from 5,000 years of history: Ethnic cleansing works.”[11]

The map of the re-drawn Middle East, initially published alongside Peters’ article, but no longer present, “has been used in a training program at NATO’s Defense College for senior military officers. This map, as well as other similar maps, has most probably been used at the National War Academy as well as in military planning circles.”[12] Nafeez Mossadeq Ahmed wrote of Peters’ proposal, that “the sweeping reconfiguration of borders he proposes would necessarily involve massive ethnic cleansing and accompanying bloodshed on perhaps a genocidal scale.”[13]

i don't see zen buddhists beheading people, that's all i'm saying

i get your point but recently 'buddhists' have been responsible for murdering a lot of muslims in mayanmar & vice versa. The dalai lama & other secular buddhist leaders that teach compassion & the roots of buddhist philosophy etc certainly don't represent the interests of most buddhists in the world. A lot of people will use any religion as an excuse for their violence.

the state religion in myanmar is not zen buddhism

and the violence in perpetrated in the rakhine state is not done in the name of buddhism,

Buddhism in most of SE Asia is really only Buddhist in name only.

In places like Thailand, Lao, Cambodia & Myanmar its a big minestrone of occult, spirit worship, ancestral karma, Tao, Zen, superstition,

capitalism, Pi, & allsorts of other ingredients.

eg. Thai people never refer to their religion & ways as Buddhist, ever only "Thai Buddha".

whats considered so sometimes even changes village to village.
