Last
“Moderate” Mercenary Group in Syria Surrenders to al-Nusra

The last moderate
rebel groups fighting against the al-Assad government have surrendered to
al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda spawned terror group aligned with the Islamic State.
US-backed rebels
routed by Al-Qaeda-linked Nusra in northern Syria. America's Syria strategy has
collapsed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/us-backed-syria-rebels-routed-by-fighters-linked-to-al-qaeda/2014/11/02/7a8b1351-8fb7-4f7e-a477-66ec0a0aaf34_story.html …
Harakat Hazam and the Syrian Revolutionary Front (SRF)
handed over bases and weapons to Jabhat al-Nusra in the Idlib province in Syria
over the weekend.
“As a movement, the SRF is effectively finished,” said Aymen al-Tammimi, a Syria
analyst. “Nusra has driven them out of their strongholds of Idlib and Hama.”
On Friday al-Nusra captured Deir Sinbal, the hometown of
Jamal Maarouf, the leader of the SRF, described as a “moderate” group that has
received weapons from the United States, including Grad rockets and Tow
anti-tank missiles. In April, Maarouf told The Independent
his group conducted operations with al-Nusra.
According to Barak Barfi, a research fellow for the New
America Foundation, al-Nusra receives weapons indirectly from SRF.
The Telegraph reports:
It
was not immediately clear if American Tow missiles were among the stockpile
surrendered to Jabhat al-Nusra on Saturday. However, several Jabhat al-Nusra
members on Twitter announced that they were. The loss of a group that had been
held up as an example of Western efforts to court moderate rebel factions is a
humiliating blow for Washington. In Idlib, Harakat Hazm gave up their positions
to Jabhat al-Nusra “without firing a shot,” according to some reports, and some
of the men even defected to the jihadists.
The fiction there was a moderate rebel presence in Syria
served as cover for the transfer of weapons to jihadist groups by the United
States and the Gulf Emirates.
“The Free Syrian Army and the Syrian National Council, the
vaunted bulwarks of the moderate opposition, only really exist in hotel
lobbies and the minds of Western diplomats,” writes Ben Reynolds. “There is simply no real
separation between ‘moderate’ rebel groups and hardline Salafists allied with
al-Qaeda.”
The collapse of the moderate rebel fiction will be used to
push for more direct involvement by the United States in Syria, including
so-called boots on the ground. The neocon wing of the Republican Party will
push hard for a more hands-on approach after Republicans recapture the Senate
later this week.
The U.S. airstrikes inside Syria
have not rolled back ISIS and in fact are not designed to do so despite
corporate media propaganda to the contrary. The strikes have targeted Syrian
oil wells, refineries and other infrastructure under the guise of attacking
ISIS funding (the terror army is said to make millions a day selling looted oil).
The attacks on Syrian oil are “being couched as an effort to
cut off ISIS funding, but the oil wells and other infrastructure being targeted
are actually privately owned, and the attacks
are badly damaging the civilian economy across
Syria,” writes Jason Ditiz.
“As winter nears prices are soaring, and not just on fuel.
Knock-on effects have raised the price of almost everything, including basic
food. The prices of grain are no doubt also effected by US airstrikes on grain
silos in the north,” Ditz notes.
The Pentagon used similar tactics in both Iraq wars. “The
intention and effort of the bombing of civilian life and facilities was to systematically
destroy Iraq’s infrastructure leaving it in a preindustrial condition,” a report to the Commission of Inquiry for
the International War Crimes Tribunal in 1992 stated. The air campaign “left
Iraq in a near apocalyptic condition” and this result is also sought in Syria.
The primary goal in Syria is to take out Bashar al-Assad and
decimate the Syrian economy, not destroy the Islamic State, a terrorist group
funded and trained by the United States and its partners.
The fall of Harakat Hazam and the SRF is inconsequential.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the U.S. will continue to covertly arm ISIS until the
objective of overthrowing al-Assad and fragmenting and balkanizing Syria and
Iraq is accomplished.

If Infowars is correct, we have been duped
into decades of costly, unnecessary Middle East wars. Given the level of
corruption in our federal government, they may be right. If so, we should
expose the endgame if we can. In the meantime, we need to question every
military aid mission that arises and be very skeptical if the government puts
on a big PR push to do anything. If we
are playing a global chess game, we need to be adamantly unhappy with the
status quo.
I think we know enough to demand that we quit
the UN to punish them for Agenda 21 and the global warming hoax and stop all
government to government military and other foreign aid. I would let the churches handle all
humanitarian aid to make sure it doesn’t end up in dictators’ bank accounts.
I would keep the sea lanes open to protect
trade, but that’s about it. I would close overseas military bases and put them
on the Mexican border to take out the criminals and round up illegals. I would
overhaul the federal government to remove all impediments to actually defending
our territory permanently.
