Exclusive: While Official Washington devotes much sound and fury to demands for a wider war in Syria and the need to turn away Syrian refugees, Democrats and Republicans dodge the tougher question: how to confront Saudi Arabia about its covert funding for Islamic State and Al Qaeda terrorists, writes Daniel Lazare.
Why France’s brave new war on ISIS is a sick joke, and an insult to the victims of the Paris attacks
Conspicuously missing from President Hollande’s decisive declaration of war however, was any mention of the biggest elephant in the room: state-sponsorship. … Earlier this year, the Turkish daily Today’s Zamanreported that “more than 100,000 fake Turkish passports” had been given to ISIS. … According to other ISIS suspects facing trial in Turkey, the Turkish national military intelligence organization (MIT) had begun smuggling arms, including NATO weapons to jihadist groups in Syria as early as 2011. … By now, this implies that Turkey has facilitated over $1 billion worth of black market ISIS oil sales to date.
Phi Beta Iota: We will update this post as other headlines are received from the contributing editor. No one wants to address the reality that Saudi Arabia and Israel are “root.” We believe Charlie Hebdo was a false flag state-sponsored attack and it is highly likely the Paris attacks and the forthcoming attacks in Berlin (or elsewhere now that the plan has been captured) are state-sponsored attacks. The US is being played as a shiksa — a Gentile fool that can be manipulated and abused with impunity.

Tunesia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon, Libya, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq provide most fighters. Biggest fifth columns are from and in France, Britain, Germany, Australia, and Belgium.
The rapid spread of Islamic State could only have occurred with a high degree of funding and support from without. Qatar and Saudi Arabia have most often been named, with money for terrorism either coming from super-rich individuals or the governments themselves. We know that both countries channelled large funds into Islamist groups in Syria in the early stages of the war there and that the two Gulf states have spent billions of dollars on promoting the militant interpretation of Islam known as Wahhabism as well as committing many human rights abuses in their own countries.
France has benefited from its support for the U.S.-Wahhabi regime change project in Syria and Iraq by getting huge orders for military equipment from the medieval Wahhabi regimes:
Point: After the announcement of the attacks of November 13, you wrote on twitter: “It was the [Western] Right and Left who sowed the war against political Islam and we are now reaping blowback from that war against political Islam. “Do not you feel like you are trying the victim rather than the culprit?
Phi Beta Iota: We are moderately certain Paris was a contrived false flag — people died, but they died to serve the neoconservative and state-sponsored terrorism narrative.
Phi Beta Iota: The Charlie Hebdo attack, almost certainly a false flag, was intended to punish France for supporting Palestine and frighten more Jews into leaving France for Israel (as happened in the case of the owners). There is no proof, yet, this was a false flag operation, but many indicators are emergent. Anyone doubting the mendacity of the Zionists need only remember the USS Liberty. This does not excuse what the US and NATO have done in creating the new swath of destruction since 9/11 was orchestrated by Dick Cheney in the guise of a national counter-terrorism exercise, it merely provides necessary clarity.
Phi Beta Iota: There is a possibility that elements of various governments are complicit in the Paris atrocities. Setting that aside, there is no grand strategy, no deep understanding of the complexities and contradictions. A strategic pause is needed, as well as a very strong counterintelligence campaign within France and within the USA. Attacks on Berlin similar to those in Paris are anticipated by the capture in Kurdistan of a rebel with a map — armories (e.g. small police stations and US National Guard armories) are a prime preliminary target, perhaps to draw suspicion away from the use of the Saudi diplomatic pouch to introduce arms into Europe or the US. ISIS cannot be defeated unless we first stop Saudi, Israeli, and Turkish support for ISIS and clean our own stables.
