How the CIA Politically Manipulates Islam for the US War Agenda



The U.S. government has funded, written books for, and otherwise supported the development of right-wing Islam extremism to support U.S. imperialist goals. Then they turn around and stoke Islamophobia to justify their war agenda.

  1. What has to be said that plays a major role in all of this is racism but it's not racism only from from the racists it's also racism for the racists from other minorities. Whites see themselves as superior because other minority groups give them an inherent trust because of their race and this means it's easy for them to manipulate others and that's why they are shameless. That's why they can bomb Muslims all over the middle east, support apatheid Israel against Palestinians and still have legitimacy when they attack China about its treatment of Muslims. That's why even though China hasn't attacked any country for decades they are still seen just as threatening as the US and it's because of the inherent distrust of other minority groups.
    So it's easy for whites to go in other countries and cause chaos, and this inherent trust for whatever reason of whites has to be addressed because none of these people should have any legitimacy and that should be the line.

  2. The use of Muslims in the imperial Great Game goes back to the Brits use of Ottoman 'victimhood' against Russia in the 1850s Crimean war, when Palmerston had maps drawn up for the division of Russia just as they were then carving up China with opium pumped through Hong Kong. Africa was divvied up in 1884 from Berlin.
    TE Lawrence (of Arabia) then used Muslim tribesmen from western Asia against the Ottomans in WW I, promising 'democracy' even as they cultivated their chosen 'Roya£' families for installation to control the region's oil, Churchill having coverted the wave-ruling navy from coal.
    MI6 also had a hand in setting up the CIA from the OSS after WW II.
    But then, Washington threw them out circa 1776, only to have them boomerang back through the Wa££ $t $ky£ight as he was bolting the door.
    Gent£emen all, ye o£de Brutish Vampire's footmen.

  4. That last bit about a nation's conscious… Is that why facts are denigrated, why the central teachings of Christianity have been supplanted by a coopted institutional religion that's pro-market, why weakness and vulnerability and a harsh emphasis on self-reliance and personal responsibility, a deliberate numbing of the public to tragedy and meaningful accountability — all are in the service of controlling the population. If they don't believe in facts, if they don't believe in mutual aid, if they don't believe in the possibility of change, they won't rebel.
