Game of Thrones: Saudis Funding Taliban as Trump Gives Nod to Increased Military Support for Afghans

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 24, 2017 ⋅ One comment

As Trump plans increas­ing and pro­long­ing U.S. troop com­mit­ment to Afghanistan, it is worth not­ing that–surprise, surprise–the Saud­is are fund­ing the Tal­iban, much as they have done with Al-Qae­da.


FTR #880 The ISIS File: The Myth of the Moderates

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 11, 2015 ⋅ 11 comments

Con­tin­u­ing our analy­sis of an over­lap­ping series of mas­sive covert oper­a­tions in the Earth Island uti­liz­ing Mus­lim Broth­er­hood-based Sun­ni jihadists and inter­sect­ing Pan-Turk­ist ele­ments, we ana­lyze the gen­e­sis of ISIS. Stem­ming from a covert oper­a­tion in which ele­ments of CIA, Sau­di Ara­bia, Turkey and Qatar and the Syr­i­an Mus­lim Broth­er­hood are oper­at­ing in South­ern Turkey to enable jihadists in Syr­ia, ISIS appears to be some­thing of a Franken­stein’s mon­ster. Envi­sioned as a Salafist prin­ci­pal­i­ty in East­ern Syr­ia to desta­bi­lize the Assad regime, the Islam­ic State used AQI (Al-Qae­da in Iraq) infra­struc­ture to spread into Iraq, threat­en­ing the “gains” of the mis­guid­ed U.S. inva­sion of that coun­try. Now, this Islamist Franken­stein’s mon­ster is attack­ing the West, dri­ving the polit­i­cal spec­trum in Europe and the Unit­ed States right­ward. That reac­tion, in turn, is fuel­ing Mus­lim alien­ation to the delight and ben­e­fit of ISIS. Pro­gram High­lights Include: ISIS chief Al-Baghradi’s “for­mer” mem­ber­ship in the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood; the deci­sive role of Chechen fight­ers in ISIS; the alliance of UNA-UNSO fight­ers (Pravy Sek­tor) in Chech­nya and Geor­gia; ISIS’s use of Bit­coin to stash their finan­cial assets; ISIS’s use of an encrypt­ed Berlin-based mes­sag­ing ser­vice for its com­mu­niques; an oblique endorse­ment of ISIS by the chief of Turk­ish intel­li­gence; review of the re-direc­tion of the anti-Sovi­et jihadist effort in Afghanistan to anti-Russ­ian com­bat in Chech­nya; review of Zbig­niew Brzezin­ski’s endorse­ment of using jihadists against Rus­sia in the Cau­ca­sus and Chi­na in cen­tral Asia.


FTR #879 Further Update on Pan-Turkism, Islamism and the Earth Island Boogie

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 6, 2015 ⋅ One comment

As the title indi­cates, this broad­cast con­tin­ues analy­sis of the grow­ing con­flu­ence of Mus­lim-Broth­er­hood dom­i­nat­ed Islamism and Pan-Turk­ist ele­ments, this against the back­ground of the mount­ing hos­til­i­ties over­tak­ing the region. After repeat­ing a quote from Zbig­niew Brzezin­s­ki read by Eliz­a­beth Gould in FTR #872 propos­ing to use Islamists to desta­bi­lize post-Cold War Rus­sia and Chi­na, we high­light an arti­cle detail­ing Turk­ish mil­i­tary sup­port for Turk­men mili­tia and over­lap­ping Nus­ra Front (al-Qae­da) and ISIS com­bat­ants in Syr­ia. Turkey’s recent shoot­down of a Russ­ian com­bat jet appears to have result­ed from Turk­ish air cov­er for the so-called “mod­er­ates” in Syr­ia. Much of the first half of the pro­gram con­sists of analy­sis of an arti­cle exam­in­ing how U.S. mil­i­tary inter­ven­tions of recent decades have helped install Islamist regimes in place of sec­u­lar ones–this in areas that had once been part of the Ottoman Empire. As not­ed by the author, Ger­many is a qui­et, prin­ci­pal bene­fac­tor of the U.S. action. In our series about the so-called “Arab Spring.” (we call it “The Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring”), we not­ed that Erdo­gan’s Turkey was not a “mod­er­ate” Islam­ic democ­ra­cy at all, but a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood autoc­ra­cy evolved from the al-Taqwa milieu. Even many Turk­ish cit­i­zens are now open­ly charg­ing Erdo­gan with being a fas­cist. As we see Grey Wolf ele­ments work­ing in Syr­ia, Asia and (in all prob­a­bil­i­ty) in Ukraine, we should not for­get that Turkey is also a NATO coun­try. The pro­gram con­cludes with a re-broad­cast of FTR #59, high­light­ing the Grey Wolves’ role as the Turk­ish “Stay Behind” forces. Oper­a­tion Stay Behind was a NATO pro­gram to use fas­cist for­ma­tions as reserve gueril­la forces, to be used either in the event of World War III or against a demo­c­ra­t­i­cal­ly-elect­ed left­ist gov­ern­ment in Europe. Not sur­pris­ing­ly, the Stay Behind forces often pre­cip­i­tat­ed ter­ror attacks and assas­si­na­tions in their host coun­tries.


FTR #878 Update on Pan-Turkism, Islamism and the Earth Island Boogie

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 4, 2015 ⋅ 7 comments

In recent years, we have not­ed grow­ing con­flu­ence between Mus­lim Broth­er­hood-based Islamism and Pan-Turk­ist ele­ments. In addi­tion to their util­i­ty as proxy war­riors against the for­mer Sovi­et Union, the for­mer Yugoslavia, Rus­sia and con­tem­po­rary Chi­na, the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood is viewed with favor in the West because of its cor­po­ratist eco­nom­ics. As events in Ukraine, the Mid­dle East and Asia con­tin­ue to heat up, the Islamist/­Pan-Turk­ist con­nec­tion appears to be solid­i­fy­ing. The “cement” that is bring­ing them togeth­er appears to be ele­ments of West­ern intel­li­gence, the Under­ground Reich/transnational cor­po­rate fac­tion of the CIA in par­tic­u­lar. We are now see­ing Islamist/­Pan-Turk­ist com­bat­ants active all around the Earth Island: Grey Wolf-linked com­bat­ants work­ing with ele­ments of CIA in Syr­ia, backed by Turkey, Sau­di Ara­bia and Qatar and hav­ing exe­cut­ed a Russ­ian pilot who bailed out of his jet shot down by a Turk­ish F‑16; Chechen/I­SIS-linked fight­ers in Ukraine fight­ing under Pravy Sek­tor com­mand; Crimean Tatars backed by Turkey and col­lab­o­rat­ing with Pravy Sek­tor sab­o­tag­ing the Crimean pow­er grid, water sup­ply and road traf­fic and Grey Wolves work­ing with the al-Qae­da-linked Uighurs in Chi­na (appar­ent­ly author­ing a ter­ror­ist bomb­ing in Thai­land direct­ed against Chi­nese tourists). With Pan-Turk­ist Islamists fight­ing against Rus­sia in Ukraine and against Chi­na in fos­sil-fuel-rich Xin­jiang Province and Thai­land, it is dif­fi­cult not to see the hand of the Under­ground Reich fac­tion of CIA at work. Much of the pro­gram con­sists of a re-broad­cast of part of AFA #14 talk­ing about the for­mer World Anti-Com­mu­nist League and the pow­er­ful Pan-Turk­ist ele­ment with­in the Anti-Bol­she­vik Bloc of Nations. Pro­gram High­lights Include: Pan-Turk­ist col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Third Reich and the pre-war Promethean League; Nation­al Action Par­ty founder Alparsan Turkes’ agi­ta­tion on behalf of Turk­ish entry into World War II on the side of the Axis; Turkes’ role as a key Turk­ish rep­re­sen­ta­tive to NATO; the Turk­ish gov­ern­ment of Tayyip Erdo­gan’s overt sup­port for the Crimean Tatars as well as the Turk­men mili­tia in Syr­ia; Pan-Turk­ist SS vet­er­an Ruzy Nazar’s work for ele­ments of CIA and his pres­ence at the WACL con­fer­ence in Dal­las in 1984 as a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the ABN.


FTR #782 All’s Well That’s Orwell, Part 2: The Ministry of Truth and the Ukrainian Crisis, Part 2 (Schmemann Uber Alles)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 17, 2014 ⋅ 5 comments

The broad­cast high­lights the Orwellian nature of U.S. media cov­er­age of the events in the Ukraine. In par­tic­u­lar, the dis­grace­ful behav­ior of The New York Times–the CIA’s #1 pro­pa­gan­da asset–is set forth here. The white­wash­ing of the Nazi and fas­cist nature of the gov­ern­ment in the Ukraine and casu­al dis­missal of accu­rate Russ­ian claims as “pro­pa­gan­da” by the “Gray Lady” as the Times is known, has set the tone for the rest of our media to res­onate with the dic­tates of our Min­istry of Truth. We won­der about the influ­ence in the Times’ cov­er­age of Serge Schme­mann, as well as the pos­si­ble future role of Islamist and Pan-Turk­ist ele­ments in the cri­sis.

Are GOP/oil industry/Muslim Broth­er­hood ele­ments under­min­ing Oba­ma’s for­eign pol­i­cy vis a vis Rus­sia? Are these same jihadist ele­ments stir­ring unrest in Rus­sia and Cen­tral Asia? Are they work­ing with the Turk­ish gov­ern­ment?


Islamist Elements Behind Violence, Kyrgystan Government Says

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Com­ment: As not­ed pre­vi­ous­ly, the towns of Osh and Jalal-Abad in Kyr­gys­tan, in addi­tion to being flash­points of lethal Uzbek/Kyrgyz eth­nic ten­sions, are epi­cen­ters of activ­i­ty for Hizb Ut-Tahrir, a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood affil­i­ate. The gov­ern­ment of Kyr­gyzs­tan is now claim­ing that Islamist ele­ments, con­spir­ing with the fam­i­ly of the deposed leader, pre­cip­i­tat­ed the vio­lence. In […]


Muslim Brotherhood and the Violence in Kyrgystan

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 13, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Com­ment: The esca­lat­ing vio­lence in Kyr­gys­tan is occur­ring in areas in which one finds sig­nif­i­cant pres­ence of  a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood affil­i­ate, Hizb ut-Tahrir. An AP arti­cle sets forth how the eth­nic clash­es in the Kry­gyzs­tan towns of Osh and Jalal-abad are pri­ma­ry between eth­nic Kyr­gyz and eth­nic Uzbek–both groups pri­mar­i­ly sun­ni.  The Uzbek’s are 14% […]
