What Is The Difference Between An ISIS Terrorist And A Freedom Fighter: "Appropriate Vetting"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported yesterday, in addition to Turkey and Saudi forming an alliance to topple Syria's despised anti-Qatar nat gas pipeline leader, Bashar Assad, the US has now begun training and arming Syrian rebels. But how will the US know it is arming Syrian rebels, aka opposition "freedom fighters" and al-Nusra or Islamic State jihadists who will promptly turn around and use the same weapons and training against the US?

The answer: "appropriate vetting." No, really.

This reminds me of the US narrative on Ukraine. Kiev's Banderist Neo-Nazis = Freedom Fighters, Heroes, Good guys. Russian speaking civilians in Eastern Ukraine that don't like the Nazi Junta = Terrorists, evil dark forces, bad guys.

Q:  What's the difference between a Cult and a Religion?  A:  Vetting by a very powerful secular Ruler.

Which is why an Organized Religion never promotes "Kill the King" mantra, but may promote Poverty and "Turn the other cheek".

What can I say... People are sheeple.  And we know what TPTB do to sheeple.

Terrorism (today we say you're good, tomorrow you're going to be bad). 

What by the way happened to Al Qaeda, they must be pissed off the circus has left their town and headed ISIS's way. The population obviously got bored and needed a group with a little bit more blood and guts. Also, ISIS use Twitter, Al Qaeda were slow on the ball on that one.

What happened to Al Qaeda? Their franchise was taken under new leadership, aided by the finest marketing money can buy, and re-branded as ISIS.

Q: If robust Vetting is required for every modern Theory or Worldview, then why is it not required of dusty ancient ones that pass off as Religions?**   Especially when those people had the education of a 4th grader, and hygiene to match.

A:  [Tick, tock]

** My 5th grader pointed that out.  He suspects "Brainwashing being at work, kinda like "Fairytales for Grownups", as he calls it.  And my 8th grader then chimed in, and called Fairy Tales, "tales of morality and control for kids and little people".  Ouch!  Wow.

Cognitive Dissonance and Brainwashing is a biatch, isn't it?

Surefire way to make sure they're not ISIL slimebags:

 

1. Hand'em a cig. If they smoke it they're not ISIL

2. Lock'em in a room for 5 minutes with a Jew and giv'em a knife. If the Jew comes out alive, they're not ISIL. If the Jew doesn't come out alive, they're either ISIL slimebags or ZeroHedge devotees.

3. Giv'em some porno to watch. If they don't watch it, they're not ISIL.

4. Show'em a poster of a wild boar pig eating Pam Geller alive. If they shout "ALI AKHBAR!" they're ISIL. If they shout "I need a shower!", they're not ISIL, but they are Herdildo Rivera.

5. Finally, Douse'em with gasoline and light them on fire. If they burn, they were not ISIL. If they don't burn, they're ISIL.

 

Only by performing all the above steps in order can the Syrian rebels be properly vetted. Then we'll know we're not supporting and arming ISIL.

What was the reason the US bombing campain in Syria against ISIS stopped? What was the original MSM story? Fucking none. The planes don't bomb any more, only drop weapons for ISIS guys. This is fucking insanity.

Why stop at degrading them. Demonize, demoralize, disgrace, disintegrate and dis them before defeating. After that they can find them jobs. "Hello welcome to Damascus Dog, may I take your order"!

If Americans are flocking to waitstaff and bartending jobs I'm sure the moderate Syrian freedom fighter would welcome the chance to serve his fellow Syrians once the fighting has ended. 

Anybody at the State Department reading this please contact me. I'm full of great ideas. Just remember who came up with Damascus Dog, because who doesn't love a great Foot Long, Chicago style or Coney hotdog.

The fucking horse faced idiot at State doesn't know that Syria is opposed to the FSA and ISIS/ISIL. Kerry says that they are mutually supporting, and we're training, funding, and equipping by air drop ISIS/ISIL.

Can't get the US citizen to agree to another war in the ME stand up a proxy army and resupply them from the arsenal of a less loyal former "partner" (Iraq) who decided to seek help from the Russians. All while exacting revenge and moving the Plan for a New American Century forward.

The US has had training camps run by the CIA in Jordan since 2012 as reported by the media at the time. Many of the "properly vetted" rebels that fight for ISIS, al Nusra, and others have admitted to the media they got their training there. What has not appeared in mainstream US press, but has in overseas publications, is that after the defeat of Qadaffi the US facilitated the shipment of Libyan arms to rebels in Syria. That's what got Ambassodor Stevens killed in Benghazi. Many of the "freedom" fighters" in Libya went on to fight as vetted rebels in Syria and have since returned to Libya to carve out an ever larger presence in that country. Thanks to the Dictator Clown In Chief Obama Libya has gone from a properous secular peaceful country with no Al Qaeda presence to a failed state that now has Al Qaeda and ISIS training camps and their having control over some major cities.
