Petro Dollar = ISIS Dollar, Saudi Arabia, Sunni Salafist Wahhabism and US Foreign Policy - Connect the Dots

In 1971, Nixon de-tethered the dollar from gold thereby making it a 100% paper-electronic fiat currency.  But there is way more to the story and The Daily Reckoning sums it up perfectly with quotes from Jim Rickards book The Death of Money.

Did you know that when Nixon made his ‘temporary suspension’ of the Bretton Woods Agreement that gold would back currencies around the world that the gold standard didn’t die right then and there? No, it took four years before the gold standard/Bretton Woods was euthanized.

“But the dollar immediately began to lose ground which is exactly what Nixon wanted it to do, for he had tons of debt left over from President Johnson’s great society, and Vietnam War, and needed to print dollars and get them weaker to pay down loans with cheaper dollars....

The “dollar monopoly in energy trade” is another legacy of 1971: In 1974, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger cut a deal with the Saudi princes: Saudi Arabia would price oil in U.S. dollars and use its clout to get other OPEC nations to do the same. In return, the U.S. government agreed to protect Saudi Arabia and its allies against foreign invaders and domestic rebellions.  Link here.

The green (color of Islam) flag of Saudi Arabia contains 2 things:  a sword and an inscription in Arabic "There is no god but Allah".  The sword is very significant Muslim symbol because chopping off heads as an implement of terror against infidels constitutes the symbolic power of Islam religiously, culturally, politically and historically.

The deal that Kissinger, a Jew no less, cut with the anti-Semitic House of Saud and Sunni Salafist Wahhabism was far dirtier and evil than anybody could ever imagine. In Saudi Arabia, Jews are banned from the country and every religion except Islam is also banned and the death penalty for practicing any religion except Islam has been enforced, usually by publicly beheading infidels (the term Muslims use for non-Muslims) as sorcerers and witches.

America and Europe effectively agreed to military bankroll the expansion of Sunni Salafist Wahhabism and jihad against the West, Christianity and other non-Muslim and even moderate Muslim nations, sometimes overtly but mostly covertly and this was accomplished through the massive importation of Sunni Muslims into Europe and the US, along with their radical jihad Imams, mosques and Islamic centers all of which were financed with Sunni Salafist Gulf money.  While the concept of separation of church and state are codified into western (European and US) law, it's appropriate and valid to state that the only state supported religion in Europe and the US is Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Islam.  Many radical Sunni Muslims teach in western public schools and western prison systems are loaded with taxpayer funded Muslim clerics.

As Europe and America ponder the horror of how many western coverts to Islam are among ISIS butchers, the answer is simple.  We allowed this to happen.

Besides facilitating and spawning the rise of the most radical form of Islam ever to exist and largely on western soil where Islam used to be close to non-existent, the West and its banksters didn't really care so long as these evil Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Muslims continued to trade oil in dollars, thus preserving the petro-dollar and the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

The logical question is:  why would the West do such things and purposely destroy western culture? At the elite level, they are very comfortable with Sunni Salafist Wahhabism.  In fact, many western elites admire the ability of tyrants like the House of Saud and Islam to control populations while guarantying that the people never revolt for liberty; this is largely accomplished by rigidly imposing religion into every facet of daily living and vigorously oppressing those who reject theocracy. Women have no rights under Islam and homosexuality is considered an offense warranting the death penalty in some Muslim nations.

If there is one thing that western elites fear more than anything, it's Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations pulling the rug out from under the petro-dollar and trading oil in non-dollar currencies.  This would immediately crash the dollar, the entire western banking system and America would be nothing more than just another bankrupt banana boat republic.  It's critically important to understand the vast and absolute power of being the world's reserve currency.  The demise of the petro-dollar would wipe out Wall Street and every central bank on the planet.

For the first time ever, western elites feel threatened because new players have arrived on the scene and they are swimming in oil and gas.  Russia has the largest natural gas reserves on the planet and it's oil reserves rival that of Saudi Arabia.

Top Natural Gas Reserves by Country 2014, here.
Russia has 1,688.00 trillion cubic feet
Iran has 1,193.00 trillion cubic feet
Qatar has 885.29 trillion cubic feet
Turkmenistan has 265.00 trillion cubic feet
US has 308.44 trillion cubic feet

Not only is the West committed to importing Sunni Muslims, mosques, Islamic centers and jihadists as well as arming, funding and protecting them and their murderous groups like ISIS, the West is also committed to preserving the OPEC energy cartel from any threatening competition.  With Russia being the new big energy player, the West is now committed to locking up Russia's enormous natural resources in energy to protect OPEC and it's monopolistic powers, as well as the DOLLAR as the world's reserve currency.

As western central banks, especially the Federal Reserve and Bank of England, increasingly become the focus of attention following Wall Street's 2008 meltdown that was immediately rescued with trillions of electronically created fiat money and bond buying, which was nothing more than welfare for rich investors, the volatility of western central banking finally started to get some much need attention.   Banks are swimming in bad loans and writing off all the bad debt paper would bankrupt every western bank by wiping out its capital.  Hence, the urgency of doing anything and everything to keep a failed fiat financial system from collapsing, as it should, is the only priority of banksters, governments, globalists and the NWO that controls all economic activity.

The deviously evil House of Saud understands that it literally owns the West, that the West will do anything to preserve the dollar as the world's reserve currency, including Islamizing western nations and funding the expansion of Sunni Salafist Islam, it's violence and it's jihads.

The West wasn't duped - all the players fully understood what they were consenting to but corporate power,  bankster power and empire trumped everything, including preserving western styled liberty, law and culture.

Counterpunch published an extraordinary Q & A interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1998 titled How Jimmy Carter and I Started the Mujahideen.  Brzezinski was Carter's National Security Advisor.

Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?

Brzezinski: It isn’t quite that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.

Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?

Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [integrisme], having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

Brzezinski: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn’t a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

Stirred up Moslems?  Indeed! The Saudis have dumped $100 billion into spreading its evil form of Islam.

Terrorists shaped by Wahhabi petrodollars

Over more than two decades, Saudi Arabia has lavished around $100 billion or more on the worldwide promotion of the violent, intolerant and crudely puritanical Wahhabist sect of Islam that the ruling royal family espouses.... The spread of Wahhabism sparked not only a separatist war against the Russians, but also a good deal of violence among Muslims....

There are similar strands leading back to Wahhabist indoctrination in the histories of very many of the known Muslim terrorists of the last 20 years.

The founder of the sect, Muhammad ibn abd al-Wahhab, was an eighteenth century Muslim zealot allied to the Al-Saud clan who promoted an extreme version of Salafism.

The US isn't fighting ISIS, the current brand of Islamic Sunni butchers on a rampage of murder and head chopping in Iraq and Syria, the US is pretending to fight ISIS when in fact it must support Sunni Salafist Wahhabism or risk having the House of Saud destroy the dollar by trading oil in non-dollar currencies.

The geo-politics of oil are indeed complicated, especially with big new players on the scene like Russia. Yeah, the US made the decision to jump in bed with Muslim butchers to protect the petro-dollar.  The blowback from American global empire builders has wrought devastation upon America's economy, America is bankrupt from endless wars, the phony baloney War on Terror is a joke that only beneficiaries are defense contractors.  Civil liberties have been crushed in America which is now just a Nazified Police State.  Moreover, every US intervention in the Muslim world actually serves to strengthen Saudi Arabia and its powers over us, all while vastly empowering recruitment for Sunni Salafist Wahhabism, radical Islam and its jihads.

Finally, America's neocon-theocons who are ferocious supporters of America's endless wars and the War on Terror are just to blind or stupid to grasp that they are effectively facilitating the spread of radical Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Islam, all in the name of squashing a religion that they perceive as an acute threat to them.

Although I detest Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Islam and consider it evil, I'm not anti-Islam or a Muslim hater. Moreover, I have documented why I believe that Sunni Islam is critical to world peace.  There are Muslims who oppose Wahhabism but many also fear it because of its savagery and butchery, as evidence by the carnage in Syria and Iraq,  The Muslim world remains in turmoil and God forbid that Wahhabism should win.

Why Sunni Islam is Crucial to World Peace and Crushing the NWO

Yet, Wahhabism has a huge advantage - it's got the US military fighting its jihads.  It's got western governments flooding western nations with nutjob Muslims, Saudi trained clerics and Saudi funded mosques.

The US government and Wall Street would rather see the entire planet Islamized than let the criminal banksters go bankrupt and sound money restored.  The US empire cannot exist with sound money.  The military-industrial-security complex cannot exist with sound money.  It can only feed off its victims of fiat central bank currency and the petro-dollar creates plenty of victims for feasting.

So long as the petro-dollar exists, the world will remain an extremely dangerous place and America will just continue on its journey to the black hole of totalitarian tyranny. 

What's the Empire to do? Iran, Iraq and a US-Iran alliance? Geo-politics makes the strangest of bedfellows!!

Invading Iraq, a nation with a 60-70% Shiite majority, was one of the most monumentally stupidest things the US ever did.  Saddam Hussein was a Sunni strongman and really no different than any of the other psychopaths in the region that the US eagerly endorsed, bribed, supported, funded and armed. However, Hussein was no Sunni Islamist, he feared them and he kept them out of Iraq.  It has been reported that Hussein enjoyed drinking western whiskey and watching Godfather movies, activities decidedly deemed un-Islamic.  I don't even know why the US invaded and occupied Iraq except that the Bush Crime Family and the military industrial complex was obsessed with flexing its military muscle by waging war on SOMEBODY. In any event, my best guess for invading Iraq is that the American crime syndicate that lords over the District of Crime in DC was absolutely obsessed with destroying Iran, a Shiite nation with a 90% plus Shia majority.

To begin to understand the situation one has to first understand the petro-dollar.  When Nixon made the unilateral decision to destroy the dollar and its purchasing power by de-tethering the dollar from gold in 1971 via an Executive Order that bypassed Congress, the dollar became a petro-dollar.   But for the dollar to become a petro-dollar and maintain its world reserve currency status, the world's oil supplies had to trade exclusively in dollars.  Once oil traded in any currency other than dollars, the dollar would become toast and America would become just another bankrupt banana boat republic.

The cost of maintaining the dollar as the world's reserve currency came with a whopper of a price tag, a real compact with Satan and that deal was cut with Saudi Arabia and other oil rich Sunni nations.  They agreed to forever trade oil in dollars in exchange for having the power of the US military at its fingertips to advance the most vile, the most intolerant and the most evil form of Islam ever to exist - Sunni Salafist Wahabbist Islam - and Sunni nations have reportedly dumped over $100 billion into radicalizing Muslims everywhere, including Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia and many other nations with significant Sunni populations.  On a side note, Bill Clinton was tight with his Sunni masters, as is the Bush Crime Family, and Bill Clinton advanced the cause of Sunni Salafist Wahhabism in the Balkan by invading, bombing and destroying Serbia and other Balkan nations.  In exchange for his loyalty to advancing radical Sunni Islam, Clinton was rewarded with millions from the Sunni Arab world for his presidential library.  Also, Saudi Arabia is reported to be one of the biggest financial contributors to the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), here, which states "One of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors is the kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

Back to Iraq.  It was impossible for the US not to know that invading Iraq and imposing a US styled 'democracy', complete with purple fingers no less, would result in Shiite majority rule.  Was the US and its neocon MIC so desperate to use Iraq as a forward base for invading Iran that it risked achieving the probable, namely pushing Shiite Iraq further towards its natural ally of Shiite Iran?  The whole thing makes no sense except in the context that the Sunni Muslim world fully expected the US to bomb and destroy Shiite Iran or even ordered the US to do it.  Bear in mind that those who control the world's reserve currency (the petro-dollar) also controls the world, US foreign policy, the Federal Reserve and the entire US government.

However, things began to unravel.  From the Sunni Salafist Wahhabist terror attacks on 911, the bombing of 2 US embassies in Africa, the bombing of the USS Cole, the London bombings, the Madrid bombings, the Mumbai bombings, the Moscow bombings, the Bali bombings and numerous other Saudi engineered Sunni terror attacks, the western world in general became horrified and experienced their WTF moment by implying "what have we done".

Iraq is in shambles and that's no surprise because it's been a fictitious nation ever since British aristocrat Gertrude Bell galloped through the region as the female Lawrence of Arabia and literally drew Iraq's borders with a pencil on a piece of paper and created for the British Empire modern day Iraq, complete with installing a British lackey on the throne.  Besides the perpetual Sunni-Shiite conflict, the Kurds are also victims in the never ending Shiite-Sunni-Kurd conflict.

Heck, even Joe Biden said in 2006 that Iraq should be divided into 3 separate regions, here.  But Biden's idea was insanely foolish because he still wanted centralized control in Baghdad and any centralized government in a nation torn by civil war and constant internal feuding is a guaranteed disaster.  And then there is Iraq's immense oil reserves so the fight isn't just about religious and ethnic differences, it's also a battle for control of Iraq's vast oil wealth.

The Sunni world is paranoid that the Shiite world, namely Iran and Iraq, will become the new kingpins of middle east oil and the Sunni world definitely wants control of that oil and will do anything to achieve that goal. Oil is wealth and wealth is power.  With the OPEC Sunni oil oligarchy already being challenged by Russia, now a major global oil and gas producer, OPEC and its Sunni chieftains are becoming unhinged as they rightfully perceive that their cozy cartel is threatened by significant oil discoveries in other nations as well as chronic Sunni-Shiite feuds in the middle east.

It's a good damn thing that 'bomb, bomb, bomb Iran' McCain never became president because, astounding, the unthinkable is being openly discussed - the possibility that the US might consider allying with Iran.  I know it's an utterly preposterous idea but the idea is surfacing.

Now what?  Iran also supports Syria and Assad who the US and radical Sunnis have vowed to destroy.

Is it even likely that the US would consider ending military aid to Sunni Salafist Wahabbist terrorists simply because the fate of the dollar is at stake?

With Russia also emerging as a major oil-gas power, pissing off Russia by supporting the neo-Nazis regime in Kiev has driven Russia and a neurotic China to cut energy deals that will not be dollar dominated, a situation that directly threatens the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

As with any dying empire on life support, it grows more violent as its extinction is glaring them in the face. The US is accustomed to barking orders and having folks all over the planet just humbly genuflect before DC and comply.  But no more.  The barking dogs of the US Empire have resulted in absolute and raw hatred toward the US, its murderous wars, its bloody interventions, its foreign policy and its profound arrogance. Folks all over the planet are rising up and barking back and they are not content to just bark, they fully intend to bite the vermin that has been biting them for decades and sucking the life and liberty out of their people and nations.

What is the Empire to do?  Ally with Al Qaeda and Sunni Salafist terrorists?  That's precisely what America has been doing for so long that it's ingrained as a foreign policy imperative, despite all the propaganda that America marched off to war to fight Al Qaeda and similar Sunni terrorist groups.  Americans are no longer buying into the War on Terror phony baloney talking points propagated by the government and its partner in crime, the US media.  Sane folks on the right and left fully comprehend that they were lied to and duped.

Geo-politics is profoundly complicated which why most folks avoid it because it involves an eternal quest for knowledge and truth, especially in  history and economics.  It's where history, resources, religions, cultures and empires have always collided. More information on these issues for those folks who do search for truth:

Why Syria is Serious - It's Where Oil, Monetary Power and Religious Feuds Collide

Syria poses no threat to the US whatsoever and it has never committed an act of terrorism against the US.  So why is the US so hot to bomb a nation of 23 million folks that is slightly larger than the state of North Dakota and has no significant oil?  Whenever something happens we must ask ourselves "Why?".

When Nixon de-tethered the dollar from gold in 1971, the western monetary cartel colluded with Arab oil sheikdoms to make the dollar a petro-dollar.  The monetary cartel argued that the dollar was still commodity money and that gold was merely swapped for oil.  The only purpose of this oil-monetary cartel was to perpetually guarantee that the dollar would be the world's reserve currency so long as oil traded in dollar. The dollar is still the world's reserve currency.  However the global monetary cartels or 'banksters gone wild' got themselves in deep shit with endless monetary printing (inflation), mountains of fiat debt, excessive financial speculation facilitated by easy money (derivatives) and churning world financial markets into casinos that were rigged in favor of the house (banksters).

Anybody who even though about trading oil in a non-dollar currency was slated for extinction. Saddam Hussein threatened to sell Iraqi oil in Euros; he was invaded and executed for non-compliance with the international monetary cartel.  Gadhafi had similar plans to sell oil in non-dollar currency but his plan went even further and Gadhafi wanted to sell oil for gold.

Gadhafi’s Gold-money Plan Would Have Devastated Dollar

Once oil traded in any currency other than the fiat dollar, the dollar would not only be toast and no longer the world's reserve currency but it would take down the entire global monetary cartel aka banksters.

Western elites and the House of Saud have been in bed with each other ever since oil came into big play in the early part of the 20th century.  Saudi Arabia not only spawned the most violent and vile form of Islam ever to exist, Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Islam, it used its petro-dollar wealth to spread its religious disease and the Saudis funded jihad madrassahs (Islamic schools) and radical mosques all over the world, including planting these institutions of hate and violence in Western nations.The West didn't care, so long as the Saudi's were swimming in oil and traded oil in dollars.  It's a marriage of convenience where western elites and savage Sunni Muslims share a bed to make love to each other.  It should be noted that not all Sunni Muslims are adherents of Saudi style Wahhabism.

With regard to oil, Saudi Arabia is widely believed to have the mother load of oil reserves.  Oil reserves and oil production are two different classifications - oil reserves are independent of oil production because they validate future oil power.  It's not only well known that Saudi oil reserves have never been independent verified but it's been widely speculated that Saudi Arabia has vastly overstated its oil reserves and may be close (within a few decades) to being pumped dry.

Saudi Arabia's resource wealth 'vastly overstated'

The Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam have been feuding forever but in recent years the division has grown more violent and not because of the Shiites but because the Sunni Salafists ruthlessly oppress Shiite minorities.  Saddam Hussein was a Sunni; however Hussein was more of a secularist and it's been documented that he drank western whiskey and watched the Goldfather movies over and over. Hussein did oppress the Shiite minority and in Iraq the Shiites comprised the majority - over 2/3 of the Iraqi population.  Ironically, Hussein protected Iraq's Christians.

When the US invaded Iraq, it was a monumental act of sheer stupidity.  By enforcing democracy, the Shiite majority now rules Iraq.  While only about 15-20% of the world's Muslim population are Shiite, the vast majority of them resides in Iraq and Iran.  Neither the Shiites nor Iran/Iraq ever committed any acts of terrorism against the US and neither ever posed any threat to US national security.  All the well documented Islamist terror attacks are acts of Sunni Salafists - 911, London bombings, Moscow bombings, Madrid bombings, Bali bombings, Mumbai bombings, the bombing of 2 US African embassies etc.  The world's most violent and murderous Islamist groups are and have always been armed and funded by the Saudis, the US, the CIA and this has been going on since the days of Jimmy Carter who armed and funded the Afghan Mujuhadeen, now the Taliban.

The Saudi's only care about 2 things - being the world's #1 oil kingpin and spreading its firebrand of Islam which includes eradicating Shiite Islam or severely marginalizing it.  If they lose their oil power, they lose their global political clout and their wealth.  Moreover, it would be unbearable if the Saudi's lost its oil power to Shiite Iraq and Iran.

According to Wikipedia the world's top oil producers are:

1.  Russia 10,900,000 barrels a day and 13.28% of world's oil
2.  Saudi Arabia, 9,900,000 barrels a day and 12.65% of world's oil
3.  United States, 8,453,000 barrels a day and 9.97 of world's oil
4.  Iran, 4,231,000 barrels a day and 4.77% of world's oil
5.  China, 4,073,000 barrels a day and 4.56 of world's oil
6.  Canada 3,592,000 barrels a day and 3.90 of world's oil
7.  Iraq, 3,400,000 barrels a day and 3.75 of world's oil
8.  United Arab Emirates, 3,087 barrels a day and 3.32% of world's oil
9.  Venezuela, 3,023,000 barrels a day and 4.74% of world's oil
10. Mexico, 2,934,000 barrels a day and 3.56% of world's oil.

The link to the world's top oil producers is here and the link to the world's oil reserves is here.

Here's the geo-political monetary conundrum - everybody knows that 'banksters gone wild' has decimated the dollar as well as other fiat currencies. Moreover, fiat central banks are teetering on brink and are unsustainable under the mountain of debt no matter how much 'out of thin air' money they create.  Many nations have reacted by pulling back on treasuries; they aren't buying and they are quietly selling.  Russia and China absolutely believe that the dollar as the world's reserve currency is on life support and both have been stockpiling gold because they understand that someday the world will be forced back into sound money and a new reserve currency will emerge.

Russia would love nothing better than to see the dollar crash along with the evil US empire.  After all, it's well documented that the US had its buddies in the Middle East hyper-pump to drive down the price of oil to crash the Soviet Union and force its breakup.  While Russia did indeed suffer significantly, it got back on its feet and reinvented itself by embracing capitalist principles.  The payoff has been phenomenal for Russia and its oil and natural resource industries are booming. Under KGB turned capitalist Putin, the Russian economy is doing well.

What does the US fear more than anything? It fears the dollar losing its world currency reserve status because when that happens the US dies and is nothing more than another bankrupt banana boat republic.  America is already a bankrupt banana boat republic, the noose around our neck has been knotted and an ever so slight kick of the stool will dangle our corpse.

What can really trigger or expedite the dollar losing it's lofty reserve currency status? Only one thing - oil trading in any currency other than dollars and that has already begun.

China is Trading Oil in Non-Dollar Currencies

Iran Seeks Alternative to Dollar Amid Oil Sanctions

After sanctioning the hell out of Iran and constantly threatening to bomb and invade, America can't very well expect Iran to sell it's oil in dollars.

What's really at play with the Syria debacle really has nothing whatsoever to do with Syria, it's just that Syria is aligned with oil rich Iran who is aligned with both Syria and oil rich Iraq.  What is unique about this alliance is that Syria has a 75% Sunni majority.  Yet, a majority of Syria's Sunnis support Assad and greatly fear a violently ruthless Saudi styled Wahhabist Taliban-Al Qaeda takeover of Syria.  The US invaded Libya and now US supported Al Qaeda gangs have busted the country into bloody civil war, a situation that did not exist under the leadership of Gadaffi.

If major oil producers like Russia, Iran and Iraq start trading oil in non-dollar currencies, that kind of combined oil power would definitely expedite the death of the dollar and the empire. If the Saudi's are running out of oil and there is substantial documentation on this issue, the Sunni Saudis are definitely willing to wage wars to secure dominance over Shiite Iraqi and Iranian oil and the Saudis are not lacking in western partners in crime.  Western powers are 100% behind the evil House of Saud and even openly support and arm Al Qaeda styled Sunni Islamists. The power of the 2 biggest global cartels in human history are at stake - a fiat banking cartel dominated by the dollar being the world's reserve currency and the global oil cartel. Together they just about control everything from the monetary to the economies of every nation on earth.

The world runs on oil and money.  Oil is power.

Syria?  For the House of Saud and Al Qaeda-Taliban styled Sunni Islam, it's all about preserving their oil power and disemboweling an age old religious enemy while using the US military to do it for them. For the US, it is all about preserving the already doomed dollar, Sunni oil cartels and bankster cartels.

The House of Assad is Alewite, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.  As previously noted, the majority of Syria's Sunnis support Assad because they don't want their country taken over by violent Sunni Al Qaeda gangs.  Furthermore it's been documented that Benghazi was a CIA operation gone bad and the goal of that operation was the arming and funding of Syrian Al Qaeda rebels with the help of Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies.

The US actually believes that it can preserve the dollars' world reserve currency status by militarily intervening in Syria to use Syria as a base to invade Iran.  By controlling Iran-Iraq oil and forcing it under the control of Saudi Sunni Islam, the western marriage of Sunni Islam and the petro dollar can survive at least in the short run.

The real axis of evil is the Saudi-US-oil-central bank cartel. The real goal is to ultimately invade Iran and Iraq (again) and sever the possibility of a Russia-Iran-Iraq oil arrangement that trades oil in non-dollar currencies.  The plan is to isolate and marginalize Russia to force it to sell oil in petro-dollars.

The US and the Wahhabist Sunnis are willing to explode the entire Middle East into horrific war and even use nuclear weapons to achieve its goal of controlling oil and the preservation of the petro-dollar.

Assad and the Syrians are merely expendable pawns on the international chess board of the elite power brokers and the NWO. So are the folks of Iran and Iraq.  Syria is geographically significant because it stand between Turkey and Iraq.  The Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan is a hardcore Sunni Salafist with deep ties to the US and House of Saud.  However, Turkey's Sunni Muslims have been rising up against Erdogan in well publicized revolts because the Turkish Sunnis don't want to be ruled by the Saudi version of Islam.  Moreover, the Turkish people oppose war on Syria, a war that PM Erdogan emphatically supports.

This will not end well. It's clearly evident that the US and Saudi Arabia et. al. are murderous psychopathic nations. The situation holds the potential to draw in Russia and plunge a world already suffering economic misery into a global war where the only beneficiaries are a handful of elites who are more than willing to slaughter millions to maintain their oil and bankster power.

Non-stop warfare is an unspeakable evil and it's long over due for folks to bring this issue to the table. A humanity that commits genocide for oil, bankster and defense contractors is a humanity that is doomed by its own evil. 

Why Sunni Islam is Crucial to World Peace and Crushing the NWO

Humanity certainly isn't without its struggles against tyranny.  Western Civilization, somewhere between on life support and truly permanently dead, actually succeeded is laying the blueprint for human liberty and it largely happened by challenging state and theocratic powers.  First, absolute theocratic papal powers were challenged and ultimately absolutely monarchies were challenged.  Protestantism  is derived from the word 'protest' and it splintered the Christian world into many different Christian sects, all of which paved the way for the Enlightenment that was accompanied by incredible advance in science, technology, prosperity as well as rights for the common man.  Humankind in the western world was elevated out of the perpetual serfdom of feudalism.  Unfortunately, that paradigm is rapidly changing as modern corporatist feudalism and its anti-free trade crony capitalist trade agreements are being constantly negotiated with the goal of booting mankind back to the master's feudal plantation.

Throughout its history, there has been no revolt in the Muslim world to challenge theocratic and temporal powers.  In fact, Islam actually has a theocratic basis against revolting against government, no matter how tyrannical.  It's called Fitna.  Fitna is so central to Islamic theology that it's mentioned in the first chapter of the Koran and Muhammed said "Say, ‘Fighting therein is a great (transgression) but a greater (transgression) with Allâh is to prevent mankind from following the way of Allâh, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (at Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing.".  The Islamic prohibition against rising up against Muslim rulers is strong and pervasive; it's embedded in the Islamic religion and culture.

Western elites have always admired Islam because of its ability to control people and prevent uprisings against unjust rulers.  That a historic clash of civilizations between the Christian world and the Islamic world has been ongoing since the days Islam busted out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century is an understatement.  But organized religions are always tools of the state be they Christian or Muslim.  Religions have always fought against tolerance, peaceful co-existence and natural rights simply because as tools of the state, religions exist to advance the state or empire, whatever the human cost.

There is a dangerous NWO alliance and it involves the US, Europe and Saudi Arabia.  The Saudis embrace the most intolerant and vile form of Islam ever to exist - it's called Sunni Salafist Wahhabism.  Not all Muslims are Sunnis and not all Sunnis are Wahhabists.  But the US and Europe have been in bed with the Wahhabists at least since the days of Jimmy Carter who funded and armed the Afghan Mujuhadeen, now the Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Taliban. The US-Europe-Wahhabist alliance is based on oil and financial control.

Ever since Nixon dethered the dollar from gold in 1971, the dollar has been a petro-dollar.  So long as oil trades in dollars, the dollar remains the world's reserve currency.  So long as the fiat dollar is the world's reserve currency, big oil, big financial interests and central banks ruthlessly rule the planet.

The US-Europe-Wahhabist/Saudi Alliance is a Satanic and oily marriage made in hell because it promotes, funds and arms radical Islam.   It it also vastly contributes to the concentration of wealth and power everywhere. Not surprisingly, it  keeps the world at war and is creating geopolitical and economic nightmares everywhere.  But oil rules and Western/Saudi oil interests go back a long way.

The US-Europe-Saudis supported regime change in Libya and the ouster/death of Qadaffi has left Libya, a nation that is 97% Sunni Islam, facing a Wahhabist takeover.

The US-Europe-Saudis supported regime change in Egypt and funded the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and its total takeover of Egypt.

The US-Europe-Saudis support regime change in Syria and Sunni Turkey under the leadership of Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Erdogan is promoting war on Syria.

But all is not going well.  As it turns out, Sunni Muslims aren't as anti-fitna as westerners and the Saudis thought.  There is a ferocious upheaval going on in the Sunni world as Sunni Muslims are rising up against Wahhabism and its tyrannical and intolerant leaders.  They are also rising up against the NWO and its wars.

Even in the Muslim Brotherhood friendly Egypt, protests against the Morsi and his evil Muslim Brotherhood regime are popping up as yet another US intervention blows up.

Clashes, tear gas as massive protests grip Egypt amid 'growing security crisis'

The above photo is from a News Breaker tweet "BREAKING PHOTO: Building on fire, reportedly Muslim Brotherhood's HQ in Alexandria, Egypt" dated 6/28/13.

What is going on in Egypt is that Muslims seeking liberty oppose the ruthless Morsi Wahhabist Islamist regime.  Egypt will probably breakout into a civil war and the US, Europe and Saudis will arm the hell out of the evil Muslim Brotherhood.

In Sunni majority Turkey, protests against Wahhabist Prime Minister Erdogan have been going on for weeks.  Turkey has a fairly secular and tolerant Muslim population.  Photos tell the story.  In Turkey, women are dressed like western women as this photo that went viral of a Turkish women in a red dress being gassed by Turkish police shows.

In Saudi Arabia and other Wahhabist controlled Muslim nations, women look like this:

Moreover, it is widely reported that the Sunni Turks oppose war on Syria, despite Erdogan's best efforts to commit Turkey to war on Syria.

Daily English News - Turkish people oppose war against Syria

Things aren't going well for the NWO and largely because of Sunni Muslims who are taking a stand against tyranny and war, and possibly even theocracy.

Furthermore, it's been widely reported that Sunni majority Syria supports the reasonably tolerant Assad regime and they don't want to be ruled by the Saudis, Wahhabists or Taliban/Al Qaeda murderous nutjobs.  The Syrian Sunnis are strongly backing Assad because they understand that the Syrian rebels are nothing more than US/Saudi funded Wahhabists and Al Qaeda.

Minimally, this will affect the grand schemes of the NWO and its US-Europe-Saudi alliance at least in the short term.  An invasion of Syria will be considerably more difficult without Turkish support and political instability in Turkey is definitely not conducive to drawing Turkey and its people into another NWO war.  The fact that most Syrian Sunnis support Assad is another blow to the NWO and The Empire.

It's been rumored for quite some time that Saudi Arabia's oil wells are running dry and the thick gloppy stuff coming out of Saudi wells is difficult to refine, unlike Nigerian light sweet crude.  The rumors of Saudi oil depletion are further reinforced by the fact that there has been no independent verification of Saudi oil reserves although the Saudis claim they are swimming in untapped oil.   Without oil, Saudi Arabia gets blasted back to the Dark Ages of nothing but sand and camels.  The Saudis are fully aware their their power is tethered to its oil.

The incredibly stupid US invasion of Iraq created an extraordinary geopolitical crisis.  Saddam Hussein was a Sunni who ruled over the Shiite 75% majority in Iraq.  With the Shiites now in control of Iraq and Iraqi oil, courtesy of the US, the natural allies of Iraq are now non-Sunni nations like Shiite Iran.  Iran isn't dangerous and poses no threat whatsoever to anybody, the US or the House of Saud.

The NWO and Big Oil's End Game is to get its thieving hands on Iranian and Iraqi oil and nobody wants that more than Big Oil and the Saudis.  The Saudis seek to use western military might to wipe out Shiite Islam and deliver Iranian and Iraqi oil to the House of Saud who partners with western oil interests. What Big Oil wants, Big Oil always gets from the District of Crime in DC where filthy oil money oils a lot of political campaign coffers.

Assad stands squarely against the grand scheme or the Great Game of the 21st century.  Russia does maintain military bases in Syria.  One thing is certain, the US and the Saudis may fund and arm the Al Qaeda rebels but Russia will arm Syria.

The US-Saudi intervention in Syria will not end well.

Meanwhile, it's definitely inspiring to see Sunni Muslims rise up against tyranny.  That's bad news for the Empire.  The Sunni Muslims hold the power to bust the NWO and and it's US-Europe-Saudi Wahhabist Alliance into pieces and save the world from wars and militarism gone mad.

Meanwhile, I'm rooting for the Turkish protesters and the Syrian Sunnis who support Assad.  We don't need to thrust the Middle East into one horrific regional war that will kill millions.  For what?  Saudi and US control of oil, and the petro-dollar?

Muslims are no longer living in the backward Dark Ages.  They too have Internet connections, cell phones, Twitter accounts and access to information and truth. Connected people are difficult to control with propaganda.

A Guide To Understanding the Middle East, Syria, The West and Oil

Americans tend to think that the Middle East is a basket case and fiery cauldron of evil because it's Muslim and that those Muslims are terrorists who want to kill us and rain terror upon us.  Is it true?  The answer is an emphatic NO.  However, to understand the Middle East, one has to first understand Islam, the dynamics of its feuding sects, the geo-politics attached thereto, oil and US/Western interventionism because they are all very significant.

The two major sects of Islam are Sunni and Shiite and Sunni Islam is far more dominant than Shiite Islam.  Roughly speaking, it's estimated that 75-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni and 10-20% are Shiite.  The Shiites are largely concentrated in Iran and about 2/3 of Iraq is Shiite.  The Sunni and Shiite Muslims have been engaged in a Holy War with each other ever since the Arab Sunni invasion of Iran and Iraq that resulted in the Sunni-Shia rift that commenced around the 7th century.

Globe and Mail did an excellent analysis on the Sunni-Shiite rift.

The Clash Within Civilisations: How The Sunni-Shiite Divide Cleaves The Middle East

In the 18th century, a Sunni fanatical cleric name Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab teamed up with the House of Saud to violently deliver power to the House of Saud and forcibly impose a new, strict and draconian form of Islam upon the folks on the Arabian Peninsula - Sunni Salafist Wahhabism. It's this virulent strain of Sunni Salafist Wahhabism is is spawning Islamic terrorism today and the US and western leaders are in bed with them because of one thing - OIL.  For more on the the history of the modern Middle East and Islam see:

The Making of the Modern Middle East

A Cruise Through History: Islam, the West and the Rest of the World

Fast forward to today.  Oil wealth in Saudi Arabia has not only made the filthy and degenerate House of Saud hugely rich, the oil wealth of Saudi Arabia and other oil rich Arab nations with majority Sunni populations have facilitated the substantial radicalization of Sunni Muslims all over the planet.  Osama bin Laden and 16 of the 911 terrorists were Saudis; all were Wahhabists.  The US intervention in Egypt has resulted in the Sunni Salafist Wahhabist Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt.  Nuclear armed Pakistan is teeming with radical Wahhabists.  After oil, Saudi Arabia's greatest export is its religion and radical interpretation of Islam.

What's going on in Syria?  It's all part of the age old Sunni-Shiite rift.  Western and Sunni nations goaded Saddam Hussein, a Sunni who ruled over Iraq's Shiite majority, into a long and miserable war with Iran that lasted from 1980-1988 and was fought to a standstill.   Hussein borrowed heavily for the Iraq-Iran War, a war that bankrupted Iraq and ruined its economy.  Hussein demanded debt forgiveness which was refused.  The west and its cozy relationship with Sunni oil producers, notably the oil kingpin Saudi Arabia, deliberately overproduced and flooded the world markets with oil to hurt Iran.  Oil prices just kept falling and falling.  But it backfired (Iran wasn't defeated) and Iraq became a victim of plummeting oil prices.  Hussein was so furious that he invaded Kuwait, a nation that some have persuasively argued did in fact have a legitimate claim to Kuwait but that's an entirely separate issue.

Hussein did not invade Kuwait without US permission. The US Ambassador to Kuwait was April Glaspie.  Hussein consulted with her on several occasion because he FEARED a US intervention if he invaded Kuwait.  Glaspie was instructed by the George H.W. Walker regime to assure Hussein that the US would do nothing.  Based on what Hussein perceived as a US green light to invade Kuwait, he did.

Hussein, who was once a well respected middle eastern strongman and ruthless tyrant, became a pariah.  He failed to win the war against Iran and claim Iran's oil for his western and Sunni oil pals during a period when the global oil cartel (Sunni oil producers and western oil companies) suffered massive declines in oil revenue from a nearly 10 year glut of oil from overproduction to bankrupt Iran.  From hero to a failed bad buy, the world turned on Hussein.  Hussein was easy to manipulate; after all this was a dude who loved drinking western whiskey and watching the Godfather movies over and over.  Hussein was extremely easily to manipulate psychologically - a very easy mark.  So Bush lied, goaded Hussein into invading Kuwait and intervened after he assured Hussein that he would do no such thing.  Anti-war.com documents the Glaspie fiasco, here.

After 911, the US lied again and falsely accused Hussein of having WMD's which he did not.  We knew it and invaded Iraq anyway.  The 2nd US invasion of Iraq unleashed an even bigger nightmare that Arab Sunni leaders greatly feared - the takeover of Iraq and its oil by the Shiite majority, something the Sunni world clearly opposed.  With a Shiite majority now in power in Iraq, it's natural ally is Iran - they share religion, culture and a long history of fighting the Sunnis.

Besides being one of the most monumentally stupid things the US ever did, the 2nd invasion of Iraq was another US led big foreign policy fail.  Iraq is now an incredibly violent place that nearly constitutes a full blown civil war between the Shiites (southern Iraq) the Sunnis (central Iraq) and the Kurds (northern Iraq) who try to steer clear of the Sunni-Shiite feud.  Violence has escalated and bombings are chronic.

Saudi Arabia, other Sunni Arab nations and western nations driven by oil interests have all been conspiring for years (decades) to get their hands on Shiite oil in Iraq and Iran. It's not just a religious civil war, it's also a war for resources wherein Sunni leaders have conned the West into leading the Sunni fight against the oil rich Shiites.

Although many have speculated for years that Saudi Arabia is running out of oil, it's also true that its oil reserves have never been independently verified.  Saudi Arabia may be running dry, not in the near term but definitely in the long term.  CNBC listed top oil nations and their reported oil reserves, here.

1. Saudi Arabia - Proved oil reserves: 262.6 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 17.85%
2. Venezuela - Proved oil reserves: 211.2 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 14.35%
3. Canada - Proved oil reserves: 175.2 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 11.91%
4. Iran - Proved oil reserves: 137 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 9.31%
5. Iraq - Proved oil reserves: 115 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 7.82%
6. Kuwait - Proved oil reserves: 104 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 7.07%
7. United Arab Emirates - Proved oil reserves: 97.8 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 6.65%
8. Russia - Proved oil reserves: 60 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 4.08%
9. Libya - Proved oil reserves: 44.3 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 3.15%
10. Nigeria - Proved oil reserves: 37.2 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 2.53%
11. Kazakhstan - Proved oil reserves: 30 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 2.04%
12. Qatar - Proved oil reserves: 25.38 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 1.72%
13. United States - Proved oil reserves: 20.68 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 1.41%
14. China - Proved oil reserves: 14.8 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 1.01%
15. Brazil - Proved oil reserves: 12.86 billion barrels, Proportion of world total: 0.87%

So how does Syria come into play as the object of America's obsession with regime change?  Syria is ruled by the Assad family that is religiously Alewite, a minor Islamic sect that is closely aligned to Shiite Islam.  Hence, Iran and Syria have always had close ties and are natural allies.

Bahrain is ruthlessly ruled by Sunnis but has a Shiite majority at 65-75%.  Kuwait is ruled by Sunnis and has a substantial Shiite minority at 20-25%.  The Saudis sent troops into Bahrain to suppress Shiite uprisings against Sunni tyranny.  In Syria, the situation is reversed.  About 75% of Syrians are Sunnis but are ruled by the minority Assad, a member of the Alewite sect and ally of Iran.  Assad runs a fairly secular and tolerant government because of the delicate balance of Sunni-Shiite-Alewite.

Saudi Arabia wants Assad out of power because it considers him a non-Sunni Muslim apostate, an ally of its Shiite enemy Iran and Saudi Arabia can't bear the thought of an Alewite-Shiite ruling over Sunni Muslims, most of whom reject Saudi styled Sunni Salafist Wahhabism.  The US and Saudi Arabia are arming and funding Wahhabist radicals in Syria to secure Wahhabist control of the nation.  Why?  Because Saudi Arabia doesn't have the military power to do it, it likes to pretend that its on good terms with its Shiite neighbors and it prefers that the US do its dirty work.  This has been going on for years because the House of Saud happily jumped in bed with western Big Oil and when the House of Saud demands something, western nations jump to do Wahhabist bidding and ask 'how high'.

The entire Benghazi fiasco was nothing but a cover-up to funnel arms and money to Wahhabist jihadist in Syria.

Lies, Lies and More Lies: Benghazi is pure political theater as well as a cover-up.

Geopolitically speaking in the context of oil and Islam, Syria is just an expendable pawn in the war to feed the Sunni Wahhabist oil cartel and its western partners, and to expand dangerously violent Wahhabism in the Middle East.  Syria is also part of the plan to encircle Iran and the End Game is to invade, occupy, neutralize the Iranian Shiites and control Iranian oil.

On May 16, 2013, Obama met with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House, here.  The story went unnoticed except for the US Marines umbrella flap over the Marines holding umbrellas over the heads of Obama and Erdogan during the pouring rain.

The significance of the meeting was ignored.  Turkey is a most interesting player in the conflict.  Turkey became a sovereign nation after WW I dealt a death blow to the Ottoman Empire. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the first president of Turkey and he intended for Turkey to develop along the western secular model. It worked for a while but the Saudis and Wahhabism managed to infect Turkey and its Sunni majority; oil money buys a lot of mosque power and influence. Erdogan, who was always a devout Sunni Muslim and once imprisoned for his affiliation with a radical Islamist party, rose to elected power in Turkey in 2008. Many feel that the reforms of Erdogan are abolishing Turkey's tradition of secularism and strengthening Sunni styled Wahhabism.  Turkey is close to 100% Sunni Muslim and the potential for radicalization is quite high despite the fact that many in Turkey oppose the Islamist regime.

That Obama was meeting with Erdogan is not surprising, especially in light of the fact that Erdogan supports regime change in Syria and has been a Sunni US alley for many years.  Erdogan is also a very close ally of Saudi Arabia.  Undoubtedly, Obama and his Wahhabist Saudi masters along with Erdogan were planning for the Wahhabist Sunni takeover of Syria after a US led military intervention.

The folks in Turkey are not happy with Erdogan's support for a military intervention and regime change in Syria.  RT.com is reporting that Erdogan's support for the Syrian Sunni rebels, funded and armed by the US, is resulting in anger and protests.

'Turkey to see more bombings as Erdogan's support for Syrian rebels backfires' 

Terrorist attacks on Turkish soil won’t stop until the country’s Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan, gives up on his support of rebel forces in Syria, British broadcaster, Neil Clark, told RT.

Turkish police have fired tear gas at protesters in a town near the Syrian border, which was the scene of a deadly double car bombing a week ago.

Demonstrators are angry over Ankara's support for the Syrian rebels, which they say is putting Turkey in the firing line.

It's entirely possible that Turkey could bust into civil war as its moderate Sunni Muslims collide with the Sunni Salafist Wahhabists.

Meanwhile, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to fund and arm the Syrian rebels and Rand Paul summarized it accurately.

Rand Paul: My colleagues just voted to arm the allies of al Qaeda

Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen.Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN). "This is an important moment," Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. "You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It's an irony you cannot overcome."

The legislation, which would authorize the shipment of arms and military training to rebels "that have gone through a thorough vetting process," passed in a bipartisan 15-3 vote. Paul offered an amendment that would strike the bill's weapons provision, but it was rejected along with another Paul amendment ruling out the authorization of the use of military force in Syria. (Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy was the only senator to join Paul in support of the weapons amendment.)

Finally, the really big question should be:  Why are western nations conspiring to militarily force a significant swath of the human population behind the 21st century Iron Curtain of Sunni Salafist Wahabbist Islam, a religion that is perhaps the most cruel, oppressive and intolerant of any religion created by mankind and its gods?

More to the point, Western nations have been flooding their countries with radical Sunni Muslims, radical Sunni mosques, radical Sunni clerics and folks that simply are not assimilating into Western society.

Stockholm had entered its 5th straight day of violent Muslim rioting, here.

The world is aghast over a British Muslim publicly murdering and chopping off the head of a British soldier.  The Boston Bombing tragedy continues to unfold as the America National Security State or Nazified Police State has utterly failed.

Western governments are broke and the burden of entitlement dependent immigrants who have no use for their host country except for the generous welfare programs is stressing economies, budgets and taxpayers.

As the West continues to collapse into a smoldering heap of statism, endless wars and failed multiculturalism, all that is left of the once prosperous and free West is the distant memory of liberty, prosperity and civilized society.  Soon, that memory will also be vanquished.

The Muslim world is a crazy quilt ancient resentments, religious intolerance and an unwillingness to embrace liberty and natural rights.  It's ruled by oppressive dictators that are embraced by the West.  None of this is good for the West or the Muslim world that has its own challenges in figuring out how to survive in a world that is far beyond the 7th century.

Boston Bombing, Chechnya and the Evil US/Saudi Jihad Connection

The Boston Bombing that was allegedly carried out by two Chechen immigrants from Chechnya has raised the issue of Islamic terrorism.  While most Americans don't know the difference between a Czech and a Chechen, as noted by Politico - Czech official: We're not Chechen, what is really missing from the story is the history, geopolitics of the region, US foreign policy and the insidious US/House of Saud connection.

Folks like to think that it's never about religion but it's always about religion because religion dominates law, culture and human civilizations.  The historical conflicts between Islam and Christianity are a profoundly critical component of current events, even if they are being twisted to comport with the government's deceitful version of realpolitik and its accompanying deceptions.

Chechnya is located in a region known as the Caucasus, a strip of land north of Iran, south of Russia, bordered by Turkey and nestled between the Caspian and Black Seas.   It's been a highly contentious patch of dirt throughout history for geopolitical as well as religious reasons while chronically embroiled in the Great Game of of the Austria-Hungary Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire and even the British Empire.

In terms of landmass, Russia is still the largest nation on the planet despite losing a huge chunk of its real estate during the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.  With a long and intriguing history, Russia grew geographically as a result of its wars to keep the Mongols and Ottomans at bay.  In 1991, the Soviet Union lost its northern territories of Belarus (3), Estonia (4), Latvia (8), Lithuania (9), Moldova (10) and the Ukraine (14); it lost its southern territories of Armenia (1), Azerbaijan (2), Georgia (5), Kazakhstan (6), Kyrgyzstan (7), Tajikistan (12), Turkmenistan (13) and Uzbekistan (15). 

The reasons for the break-up of the Soviet Union are the subject of considerable scholarly dispute.  Some attribute the break-up to US agitation and US support for the Islamists during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.  Others attribute it to economic collapse triggered by the Afghan War.  In any event, other nations in central Europe were breaking away from the Soviet Union and these nations were wrongly and immorally ceded to Stalin at the end of WW II by Churchill and Roosevelt - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Albania.

Russia never ceded its southern Chechnya province to the instigators for independence and for geopolitical reasons.  Thoughtout its long history, Russia's enemies struck hard at Russian trade by depriving it of a warm water port and this was devastating to the Russian economy where its northern ports were frozen tundras during the winter.  Consequently Russia has always been obsessed with having a secure warm water port.  Moreover, the Caspian Sea is loaded with oil.

Caspian Sea oil find could be 'biggest this year'

Iran Finds Its First Caspian Sea Oil for More Than a Century

Complicating the geopolitical issues and the endless quest for the black gold is the ongoing Muslim civil war between the Sunnis and the Shiites who are concentrated in Iran and Iraq.  Oil creates commodity wealth and nations murder and wage wars for dominance of oil and oil markets.  Is the US determination to "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" an oil war?  Of course it is and the US has always sided with Sunni Islam and especially the horrid House of Saud, all to the detriment Shiite Islam.  Incidentally, neither Iran nor Iraq nor Iranians nor Iraqis were ever involved in terrorism against the US or western interests.  911, the USS Cole bombings, the bombings of 2 US embassies in Africa, the London bombing, the Mumbai bombing, the Bali bombing, the Madrid bombings and all other acts of Islamist terror were all acts of Sunni Salifist Wahhabists, the rabid form of Islam born in Saudi Arabia in the 18th century.

The issue of the Boston Bombers isn't so much about radical Islam as it is about the evil US-Saudi alliance to spread radical Sunni Salafist Wahhabism as far and wide as possible.  In fact, Soviet Muslims were not radical at all but with the break-up of the Soviet Union and all the instability that ensured post break-up, the US and the Saudis wasted no time in funding, training and arming violent Sunni jihad warriors.  This is nothing new and the US and Saudis have a long history of jointly working together to create and spread radicalized Sunni Islam.  At least since the days of Jimmy Carter, the US, the CIA and the Saudis have worked together to breed Sunni jihadists and Carter intervened in Afghanistan to arm and fund the Afghan Mujuhadeen, now the Taliban.

There can be no doubt that during the break-up of the Soviet Union that the US, the CIA and the Saudis flooded former Russian territories with money, radical mosques and jihad clerics.

In light of the Boston Bombing, Global Research is providing incredible documentation and background on this issue.

BOSTON TRUTH: The “Chechen Connection”, Al Qaeda and the Boston Marathon Bombings

The Creation of A New Legend: “The Chechen Connection”

A new legend is unfolding: “The Chechen Connection” is threatening America. Islamism homegrown in the Russian Federation is now being “exported to America”.

Plastered on news tabloids across the United States, the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings on Patriots’ Day are relentlessly compared to September 11, 2001.

According to the Council of Foreign Relations:

Law enforcement agencies at all levels have made advances in surveillance and policing since the September 11, 2001 attacks, but security risks persist. Many counterterrorism experts call for a renewed focus on the ability of the United States to weather and recover from such incidents…

According to the powerful Council of Foreign Relations (which exerts a pervasive influence on both the White House and the State Department), the Boston bombings once again “raise the specter of terrorism on U.S. soil, highlighting the vulnerabilities of a free and open society”....

Counter terrorism and Martial Law –implying the suspension of civil liberties– rather than civilian law enforcement are the proposed solutions....

“The Chechen Connection” has become embedded in a new media consensus. The American Homeland is potentially threatened by Muslim terrorists from the Russian Federation, who have links to Al Qaeda.

In addition to discussing the draconian assaults on US civil liberties and invoking a revival of the War on Terror to terrorize Americans into relinquishing their civil liberties through a significantly strengthened totalitarian American militarized police state, there is far more than totalitarian political expediency at work here.  The Global Research issues documents the history of US involvement with the Saudis.

Al Qaeda and the CIA

The American public is misled. The media reports carefully overlook the historical origins of the Chechnya jihadist movement and its pervasive links to US intelligence.

The fact of the matter is that the jihadist movement is a creation of US intelligence, which has also led to the development of “political Islam”. While the role of the CIA in support of the Islamic jihad (including most Al Qaeda affiliated organizations) is amply documented, there is also evidence that the FBI has covertly equipped and incited would be terrorists within the US.....

The CIA’s agenda starting in the late 1970s was to recruit and train jihadist “freedom fighters” (Mujahideen) to wage “a war of liberation” directed against the pro-Soviet secular government of Afghanistan.

The CIA, frequently dubbed Cocaine Import Agency, here, has also been dubbed the private military of the New World Order that seeks global UN governance through the totalitarian marriage of big business and big government.  The CIA jumps into action whenever some corporation is lusting for a natural resource to exploit/steal or some psychopathic politico starts screaming 'regime change' which in America happens just about every day.

Ronald Reagan even entertained the Afghan Mujuhadeen at the White House.

The Global Research article goes on:

The “Islamic Jihad” (or holy war against the Soviets) became an integral part of the CIA’s intelligence ploy. It was supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia, with a significant part of the funding generated from the Golden Crescent drug trade:

“In March 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 166 … [which] authorize[d] stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen, and it made clear that the secret Afghan war had a new goal: to defeat Soviet troops in Afghanistan through covert action and encourage a Soviet withdrawal. The new covert U.S. assistance began with a dramatic increase in arms supplies — a steady rise to 65,000 tons annually by 1987 … as well as a “ceaseless stream” of CIA and Pentagon specialists who travelled to the secret headquarters of Pakistan’s ISI on the main road near Rawalpindi, Pakistan. There, the CIA specialists met with Pakistani intelligence officers to help plan operations for the Afghan rebels.”(Steve Coll, The Washington Post, July 19, 1992.)

Mujahideen from a large number of Muslim countries were recruited by the CIA. Jihadists from the Muslim republics (and autonomous regions) of the Soviet Union were also recruited.(For further analysis see Michael Chossudovsky, Al Qaeda and the “War on Terrorism”, Global Research, January 20, 2008)

Al Qaeda and the Chechnya Jihad

Chechnya is an autonomous region of the Russian Federation.

Among the recruits for specialized training in the early 1990s was the leader of the Chechnya rebellion Shamil Basayev who –in the immediate wake of the Cold War– led Chechnya’s first secessionist war against Russia.

During his training in Afghanistan, Shamil Basayev linked up with Saudi born veteran Mujahideen Commander “Al Khattab” who had fought as a volunteer in Afghanistan. Barely a few months after Basayev’s return to Grozny, Khattab was invited (early 1995) to set up an army base in Chechnya for the training of Mujahideen fighters. According to the BBC, Khattab’s posting to Chechnya had been “arranged through the Saudi-Arabian based [International] Islamic Relief Organisation, a militant religious organisation, funded by mosques and rich individuals which channeled funds into Chechnya”.(BBC, 29 September 1999).

Make no mistake.  Radical Islam as practiced in Saudi Arabia (Sunni Salafist Wahhabism) is not only the most violent form of Islam ever to exist, its expansion into many other nations could not have been facilitated without the covert and overt cooperation between the House of Saud, the CIA and the US government.

Radical Islam is very much the spawn of US foreign policy that is always in cahoots with the evil House of Saud.  The relationship between the US and the House of Saud is the progeny of Big Oil and its goal of maintaining its cartel and cozy business relationships with some world class thieves, murderers, human rights abusers and psychopaths.

In 2004, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with foreign reporters and said:

“Why don't you meet Usama bin Laden, invite him to Brussels or to the White House and engage in talks, ask him what he wants and give it to him so he leaves you in peace? You find it possible to set some limitations in your dealings with these bastards, so why should we talk to people who are child-killers?”

Putin was referring to the 2002 takeover of a Moscow theater that resulted in 850 hostages and the deaths of 130 hostages, and the slaughter of 330 hostages, mostly children, by radical Chechnya Islamists who seized a school in 2004 along with 1,100 hostages.

This is the true face of US foreign policy and its House of Saud/CIA alliance that has been actively going on since the days of Jimmy Carter.   Much has been written about the US/Saudi/Bush connection.

WikiLeaks: Saudi Millions Fund Radical Madrassas in Pakistan  Daily Kos

The Saudi's don't just fund radical madrassas in Pakistan, they fund them everywhere, even in the US where a lot of benign and harmless Muslims become radicalized.  Pakistan remains the most dangerous nation on the planet because it became a nuclear power with US/CIA blessings and it's teeming with radical Sunni Muslims trained in the art of fanatical jihad.

One thing is certain - Obama, like Clinton and Bush, will do everything and anything to protect the House of Saud and its evil interpretation of Islam.  When nations are poor and suffering, especially during a break-up as expansive and catastrophic as the Soviet Union, desperate folks will succumb to anything for food and necessities.  They will even turn their children over to Saudi madrassas for education and affiliate with radical mosques that offer food and medicine.

What happened in Chechnya was an absolute humanitarian horror that would not have occurred without US and Saudi funding.  Therefore, when we think of Chechens as the Boston Bombers what we really need to think about is:  Who is responsible for creating these monsters?

Boston Bombers Were On CIA Payroll: Debka

Were the Boston Marathon ‘bomb brothers’ on the CIA’s payroll? According to this breaking story from Debka.com, they absolutely were and in fact, were double agents. We recently heard from the aunt of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who shared with news outlets that the oldest brother had been watched by the FBI for YEARS and that the ‘boys’ had been set up. So, why didn’t the FBI do anything to stop this tragedy? Did the FBI WANT this to occur? If not the FBI, then WHO wanted the Boston Marathon bombing to take place? Did someone VERY HIGH up in the US government help to make sure that this ‘false flag’ attack upon America happened or was this just a case of two brothers breaking free from their CIA ‘overlords’? From Debka: “We now know this was a charade. The authorities knew exactly who they were. Suddenly, during the police pursuit of their getaway car from the MIT campus on Friday, they were fully identified.” More below from Debka.

The big questions buzzing over Boston Bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have a single answer: The conclusion reached by DEBKAfile’s counterterrorism and intelligence sources is that the brothers were double agents, hired by US and Saudi intelligence to penetrate the Wahhabi jihadist networks which, helped by Saudi financial institutions, had spread across the restive Russian Caucasian.

They were concerned to enough to send Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saudi al-Faisal to Washington Wednesday, April 17, in the middle of the Boston Marathon bombing crisis, for a private conversation with President Barack Obama and his national security adviser Tom Donilon on how to handle the Saudi angle of the bombing attack.

The Tsarnaevs’ recruitment by US intelligence as penetration agents against terrorist networks in southern Russia explains some otherwise baffling features of the event. (Read those baffling features at Debka.com)

Debka.com is an Israeli intelligence site. Debka also reported: "Boston Bombers had Saudi Wahhabi links, US-Saudi talks on how to handle the Saudi connection.".  The article is premium content and only available to subscribers.

Personally, I don't agree with Debka that the Tsarnaev brothers were hired by the CIA and the Saudis to infiltrate Wahhabi jihadist networks because the US and the Saudi's create jihad networks.

As the Boston Bombing continues to raise way more questions than answers, the government and media propaganda machines have kicked into high gear to spread lies.

It's more than hilarious that the boots of 9,000 cops and government agents on the ground couldn't even find one teenager supposedly on the loose with bombs and guns.  It took a homeowner going outside to smoke a cigarette after the lockdown was lifted who noticed that the tarp covering the boat in his driveway was in disarray and covered in blood.  All this occurred not far from the site of the shootout where an estimated 200-300 bullets were fired and apparently struck the teen who managed to limp away and find shelter in a nearby boat.  

Even weirder is that any sniffer dog could have sniffed the trail of blood to the boat.  The Boston Marathon event had bomb sniffing dogs that were apparently a big fail.

If the government has high tech infrared x-ray cameras and similarly equipped drones and helicopters, it raises the question of how these cameras missed the Boston Bombers carrying pressure cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon and again missed an alleged shot and bleeding terrorist who managed to escape the gargantuan police net.

The US Police State is hugely expensive and spares no expense.  Yet, it was totally worthless in stopping the Boston Marathon bombing as well as worthless in capturing the alleged terrorist bomber.

If anything, the epic fail of Homeland Security, the FBI and Boston PD should greatly disturb Americans and Bostonians who suffered through terrifying and intrusive house to house swat team searches.

But at the end of the day, all the government and police departments want is for the American sheeple people to applaud the federalized Keystone Cops and wrap themselves in a flag as a display of gratitude.  For what?

The government celebrates:  Mission Accomplished.
