ISIS 3: U.S. Regime Overthrows

The current leader of ISIS, the enigmatic Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, took over ISIS on May 16, 2010 and rumor has it that he seeded his caliphate dream with a donation of 20-30 million dollars.

Coincidence?

Na’eem says that in the U.S.’s quest to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, it began to fund anti-government terrorist groups within Syria way back in 2010 in hopes that the problem would work itself out domestically. 

It’s the U.S. funding the Taliban to overthrow the Soviets all over again! 

It’s not a farfetched suggestion. The U.S. has been behind many covert, and not so covert, attempted regime overthrows. It’s just that until recently the consequences of that level of subterfuge hasn’t played out on such an international stage.

U.S./U.K./Israel Behind ISIS; ‘Operation Hornet’s Nest’

 “Operation Hornet’s Nest” is the alleged term for creating a destabilized Middle East at the hands of international extremists, aided by the CIA, MI6, and the Mossad.

ISIS conspiracy 2: U.S. Funded ISIS

The United States Funded the Creation of ISIS

Here are some interesting facts pulled from an Arabic interview with Sheikh Nabil Na’eem. Na’eem is an ex-al-Qaeda leader and founder of the Democratic Jihad Party in Cairo, Egypt.

In the interview, he claims that ISIS was funded by the U.S. at the price of 20-30 million dollars, trained in Jordan, and armed by the U.S.

Why would our government do that?

The modern day ISIS was established in 2010, but the group didn’t become a part of common American vernacular until around 2013. 2013 is when the Syrian Civil War came to international attention.

Redditor M1s4n7hr0p3 claimed in a thread about the topic:

I was part of a very hush hush operation in 2010 training Jordanian Army regulars and “special forces” how to suck less at life. We were told not to mention it after the fact. Supposedly, they were bound for A-stan but I never followed up….

ISIS Conspiracy Theories

ISIS, or the Islamic State, has catapulted into news headlines with their barbarity and quest to establish a modern Islamic caliphate in Iraq, the Levant, and beyond.

But while it seems that the jihadist militia appeared out of nowhere, the group’s origins aren’t as mysterious as some would like for us to imagine. In fact, there is a lot of inconsistency surrounding the facts reported about ISIS by government officials.

Read on to learn about the top five conspiracy theories surrounding the Islamic State.

Ebola & ISIS: 

Could ISIS attack the United States with Ebola? Does the Islamic State have the capability to carry out a bio-terror attack on America with an "Ebola bomb"?

India - nightfall in the Thar Desert 3

All his utensils came off the back of the camel and helping him build the fire made the experience a very special one. After the sumptuous meal and an afternoon siesta we set off deeper into the desert. By this time my camel and I were great friends.
Before nightfall we found camp – a perfect dune where we lit a fire and slept under a blanket of stars.

Top Tips for a Camel Safari
Your tour guide will have bottled water, but it doesn’t hurt to bring a bottle of your own. It’s thirsty work sitting on a camels back.
Sunscreen and more sunscreen. You’ll feel like you want to have bare arms and legs to cool you down, but you’ll just burn.
Wear super light long sleeves and trousers. Helps fend off sunburn and pesky sand flies.
Bring a torch. Our camp fire burnt out soon after nightfall and our guide must have been superhuman as he had no need at all for a torch. Our unaccustomed eyes just weren’t up to the job.
Bring some change and sweets to give to the crazy kids you’ll come across!

India Camel Trekking 2

The safari consisted of hour after hour of arse breaking patience as our camels trekked through the heat. It’s quite an art getting comfortable on a camel. I won’t pretend to be an expert at it.
We were taken to a remote village where the children greeted us with an almost celebrity-like fanfare. Some of them were rather bold with their requests to have our sunglasses or our caps, one girl even asked if she could keep my ring! They were sweet if a little bit over zealous.
The journey continued on as we passed endless stretches of arid land, deep dunes and the odd withering tree. Stopping for lunch was most welcome and our guide revealed his many talents by putting on a meal that rivalled any we’d had so far in India. Seeing that I was half-Indian he wasn’t shy with the chili and it thoroughly blew our heads off. Traditional hearty vegetarian fare of spicy potatoes, pressure cooked vegetables and more chapati’s than we could ever eat.

Camel Trekking Safari

India travel is full of the most memorable of moments. I found such beauty in Goa, titillating eroticism in Khajuraho and a step back in time on my camel trekking safari. I’ve always secretly longed for my very own Arabian nights moment and this was it. Looking back through my travel in India, I’ll never forget sleeping under the stars and hearing the camels snoring, and trumping away next to me.  

Jaisalmer sits in the state of Rajasthan and boarders Pakistan. The Thar Desert is its landscape for camel trekking and the experience takes you back to ancient crossings and desert life. Our tour was as simple as it gets. A tour leader, his young son and a camel each. The temperature was sweltering and nothing but the hazy dunes awaited us.

What's Happening In The Middle East 4

To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims (Assad and Iran) backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the ranks of ISIS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see ISIS as Good (Doh!). 

Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a betrayal (mmm: might have a point.) and hence we will be seen as Bad. 

So now we have America (now bad) and Britain (also bad) providing limited support to Sunni Rebels (bad) many of whom are looking to ISIS (Good / bad) for support against Assad (now good) who, along with Iran (also Good) and Putin (also, now, unbelievably, Good) are attempting to retake the country Assad used to run before all this started?

So, now you fully understand everything, all your questions are answered!!!!
