When is a terrorist group not a terrorist group? by Peter Eyre
Oh, my! Follow this, and
you will see what tangled webs they weave to confuse us — only they
aren’t getting away with it anymore. Thanks, Peter, for sharing this with us. ~J :)
When is a terrorist group not a terrorist group?
When it supports the goals of Western foreign policy!
Having spent considerable time working in the Middle East (both in the military and as a civilian) I find the level of government, military and media deception is at an all time high.
Let’s take the current situation in Syria and Iraq as an example when we look at the alleged fight against ISIL/ISIS and view it from a US/UK/EU perspective.
During my many visits to Northern Iraq I became aware of the Kurdish struggle for recognition and their desire to create their own autonomous region in bordering Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq.
Historically the Kurdish Empire occupied land that extended from the Mediterranean Sea (in the northwest corner of Syria) up through the South Eastern part of Turkey, across the Northern part of Iraq and curving down towards to Northern Extremity of the Persian Gulf on both sides of the Iraq/Iran Border.
We now see the establishment of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) which is an autonomous region with its own regional government all of which still falls under the control of the central government of Iraq.
I will now attempt to prove how hypocritical we in the west have been in politically accepting some Kurdish militia and not others with an emphasis on the USA, UK, EU and Turkish foreign policy.
This same hypocritical approach exists within NATO (especially Turkey) who play a very deceptive role when changing their bed partners!
We all know that one of the best fighting forces that exist within Kurdistan (the Peshmerga) are hardened warriors that control this extremely difficult harsh terrain and mountainous region.
Within this same region we also have two very well known groups called the PKK and the PJAK who’s goal is exactly the same – “to create their own Kurdish run autonomous regions in what was once their own empire.” i.e. within bordering Syria, Turkey and Iran.
The west however, namely the US, UK and Turkey (NATO Member), have labeled the PKK as a terrorist group because of its activities in Turkey where many Kurdish people live.
From my perspective I know this Kurdish group as being “Freedom Fighters” who are simply trying to receive their own identity within the countries they border and I also know that the PKK were successful in winning their case before the European Convention on Human Rights and were cleared of being labeled a terrorist group and yet the US – UK – Turkey do not accept this verdict!
As a result of the above the Turkish Air Force and Ground Forces frequently carryout incursions deep into Kurdistan to bomb and shell villages and towns which they believe house PKK forces.
Remember Kurdistan is part of Iraq which was and still is (to some extent) controlled by NATO of which Turkey is a member and which appears to turn a blind eye!! …….I am sure you would all agree this is indeed a breach of sovereignty and yet the United Nations remains silent!!
On the other side of Kurdistan we have the PJAK who carry out the same activity over the border in Iran but in this case the US, UK and NATO approve of their activities and do not label them as a terrorist organization but help in training, funding and arming them!
It is obvious that the PJAK is favoured by the West because they are fighting within Iran which as we all know is still a prime target for the US, UK, Israel and NATO forces.
Maybe you are at last starting to see the real truth behind the many conflicts around the Middle East and their hidden agenda which is to force a regime change in order to access their natural resources, etc.
Now lets look at the current hot spot Syria and again look into what part the above Kurdish groups play:
In Eastern and Northern Syria there are many Kurds and within those regions we have an extension of the so-called PKK terrorist group which operates under the disguise of the PYD….still with me?
Currently in Syria we have the following situation on hand in that the US, UK, Turkey (NATO), Israel and now France illegally fighting ISIL/ISIS (who they themselves created, assisted in training, funded and armed) – Russia Fighting ISIL/ISIS with the full approval of the Syrian Government and Kurdish (alleged terrorist) groups also fighting ISIL/ISIS!!!
This is where it now turns into one huge hypocritical nightmare:
50 Soldiers of the U.S. Army (Special Forces) have now illegally crossed the border from Turkey into the Syrian town of Ein al Arab (which they now occupy) and they are now……..wait for it……. “supporting the Kurds in the fight against ISIL/ISIS ………..the very group the US,UK, Turkey and NATO have listed as a terrorist organization!!!
On the other hand we now have Russia helping the Kurds with one headline being ‘Kurds attack Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces with Russian help’
Now we have France and Israel barking up the same tree with their headline reading:
“France and Israel launch a new war in Iraq and Syria.”
The objective is no longer to overthrow the secular Syrian régime, nor to destroy its army, but to create a colonial state straddling the border between Iraq and Syria, to be managed by the Kurds, in order to apply a stranglehold on the Arab states. The dream of an Israeli nation between the Nile and the Euphrates is back.
Now read between the lines:
Turkey allows the US, UK and NATO to use its soil as a staging post for any attack against those regimes it wishes to topple i.e. Iraq and now Syria but also allows the above to support the very organization it refuses to accept the Kurdish PKK etc……now that is very hypocritical don’t you think?…….also note the game Israel is playing in wishing to extend its borders!
Israel has already taken a big slice of Syria via the Golan Heights – where next?
Finally we can see here that the Kurd’s are using this situation to their own advantage in attempting to gain back the territory they once occupied……They are heavily involved in fighting on the border with Syria, Turkey and Iran in addition to gaining their own autonomous region within Iraq now known as Kurdistan.
I guess the answer is to stop the 40 odd countries from supporting ISIl/ISIS (which they themselves created)…… not to mention all the others they established i.e. Taliban and Al Queda etc and bring the true terrorist to trial – Bush (Senior and Junior) – Rumsfeld – Cheney – Wolfowit – Tony Blair etc etc
