Islamic terrorists volunteering to get killed"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Something is not right. While 57 of the 68\nforeign terrorist groups banned by US are Islamic and all having some link or\nthe other to each other as well as an underlying link to Western governments\n&amp; their intelligence. According to the Global Terrorism Index 2018 compiled\nby the Institute for Economics &amp; Peace the majority of the 169 terrorist\ngroups are Islamic. Of the 68 foreign terrorist organizations banned by US \u2013 57\nare Islamic. Ironically or coincidentally, the West declares \u2018war on terror\u2019 in\nevery country these Islamic terrorists wage terror in. However, the terrorists\nare never negated, territory is captured by terrorists eventually the West,\ncivilians end up dead &amp; the West\u2019s soldiers end up fighting the very\nterrorists its governments &amp; intel agencies have created &amp; West stays\ngrounded claiming it is yet to finish off the \u2018terrorists\u2019. Is there something\nbigger than we are not been told? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the Islamic terrorist groups come\nfrom countries that manufacture arms. So where do they buy arms \u2013 legally or\nillegally or who gives them arms covertly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terrorism today is undoubtedly a business. It\nis not just an ordinary business it is a very lucrative business. If there was\nno terror, arms manufacturers will not be making the profits it does. Its\nlucrative to many other players too including the human rights, NGO circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arms manufacturers can sell to both parties\n(govts &amp; terrorists both purchase arms to attack &amp; defend, then there\nis the counter terrorism equipment which is also a lucrative business \u2013\ncameras, scanners, all sort of sophisticated equipment) Quite a lot of money\nlaundering activities are also taking place plugged to this is the illegal\nnarcotic business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost of terrorism in 2017 was said to be\n$52billion (Institute for Economics &amp; Peace)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Terrorism\nis part of foreign policy &#8211; Islamic terrorists in Africa \/ US troops in Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American foreign policy makers claim to\noppose Muslim extremism, but they foment it as a weapon of foreign policy. Is\nthis the reason why wherever countries wish to politically pivot or politically\npressurize governments or cause destability, suddenly some form of rebel group\nemerges with a \u2018cause\u2019 &nbsp;or \u2018terror\u2019 that\nalmost always demands \u2018territory\u2019 \u2013 geopolitical expansionism that the\ncountries that wish to pivot are eyeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was\noriginally Al Qaeda in Iraq which rebranded when US pivoted from Iraq to Syria.\nSyria is today a theatre for 3 wars \u2013 Syrian govt &amp; western government\nbacked-rebels, Iran &amp; Saudi Arabia &amp; US vs Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US uses ISIS not merely as an instrument of\nterror to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on\nIran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to put things in proper perspective.\nLast time Iran invaded another nation was in 1738 but the US has been engaged\nin over 53 illegal military invasions since 1776.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US uses ISIS in 3 ways \u2013 to attack West\u2019s\nenemies in Middle East, to justify US military interventions abroad &amp; create\nfear psychosis at home of a manufactured threat to its soil to require\nunprecedented domestic surveillance &amp; need for US taxpayers to fund US military\ninterventions overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US interventions are very lucrative opportunities\nfor US companies. More than 70 American companies and individuals have won up\nto $27 billion in contracts for work in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan. The West\nbomb countries and awards its companies contracts to rebuild the countries\n&amp; who foots the bill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US is not at war with any country in\nAfrica but there are 7500 US military personnel, 1000 contractors deployed in\nAfrica an increase of 1500 from 2017. US has 100 missions in 20 African\ncountries conducting 3500 military exercise operations (Strategic Cultural\nFoundation) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 200,000 US troops stationed in 177\ncountries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the African continent alone US is in 53\ncountries \u2013 that virtually means US is in every country in the African\ncontinent! In the tiny Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti \u2013 US has 4000 troops, a\ncritical strategic base because of its port and its proximity to the Middle\nEast. This camp controls drone attacks to target \u2018insurgents\u2019 in Yemen,\nNigeria, and Somalia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least 33 Islamic terrorist\ngroups operating in African continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethiopia an ally of the US, a\nmajority-Christian nation, invaded Somalia in December 2006. It was a \u2018made in\nWashington\u2019 invasion. It resulted in 20,000 deaths and left up to 2 million\nSomalis homeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. conducted 45 air strikes in Somalia\nagainst al Shabab and Islamic State targets in 2018. Just to kill one Somali\nwarlord \u2013 Moh Farrah Aidid the US Special Forces ended up killing more than\n1000 Somalis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who\nare these terrorists?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIA gave birth to Al Qaeda &amp; Osama bin\nLaden &amp; Saudi funded it in 1980s.

Al Qaeda is said to\noperate in 17 countries &amp; having 30,000 fighters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boku Haram started operations in Nigeria in\n2002 &amp; operates in Chad, Cameroon &amp; Niger too.
