Contrary to the group’s mainstream portrayal, as inspired by fanatic, extreme religious fundamentalism, ISIS are primarily guns for hire.
There is almost invariably layer upon layer of cutouts between the perpetrators of an attack claimed by the group, and its ultimate orchestrators and financiers.
Given ISIS-K is currently arrayed against China, Iran, and Russia – in other words, the US Empire’s primary adversaries – it is incumbent to revisit their “Parent” group’s origins.
Extremely awkward questions about how precisely ISIS came to be were comprehensively extinguished.
As we shall see, the terror group and its caliphate did not emerge in the manner of lightning on a dark night, but due to dedicated, determined policy hatched in London and Washington, implemented by their spying agencies.
So it was that the CIA and MI6 began supporting Sunni “Nationalist jihadists” throughout West Asia.
As extensively documented in WikiLeaks-released diplomatic cables, US, Israeli and Saudi intelligence immediately decided to overthrow Assad by fomenting a local Sunni rebellion, and started financing opposition groups for the purpose.
The CIA oversaw that operation, using British intelligence as an arm’s length cutout to avoid notifying Congress of its machinations.
An August 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency report released under Freedom of Information laws observes that events in West Asia were “Taking a clear sectarian direction,” with radical Salafist groups “The major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.”
Despite such grave concerns, the CIA continued to dispatch unaccountably vast shipments of weapons and money to Syria’s “Moderate rebels”, well-knowing this “Aid” would almost inevitably end up in ISIS hands.
Leaked documents indicate the risk of equipment and personnel from these efforts being lost to Al-Nusra, ISIS, and other extremist groups in West Asia was judged unavoidably “High” by British intelligence.
Almost as if training and arming ISIS was precisely the desired outcome of MI6.
