At least three others went to the Western Mountains, where Mr. Belhaj was a top leader of rebels being trained by Qatari and Western advisers. <br /><br />Ismail al-Sallabi said Qatari shipments came through the brothers not out of any ideological solidarity with Doha but because these militias were the most organized and effective forces on the ground. <br /><br />People close to Mr. Belhaj emphasize they operated under the auspices of the NTC's Defense Ministry and that any weapons shipments were blessed by transitional Defense Minister Jalal al-Dugheily.<br /><br />http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204002304576627000922764650.html<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-80939130108757689682015-07-04T07:27:14.813-07:002015-07-04T07:27:14.813-07:00Marc Turi,

Qatar is a small Middle Eastern country whose government is so entwined with the U.S. government that it almost always will do what American government officials ask of it. <br /><br />Turi sold hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of arms to the government of Qatar, which then, at the request of American government officials, were sold, bartered or given to rebel groups in Libya and Syria. Some of the groups that received the arms were on the U.S. terror list. <br /><br />Thus, the same State and Treasury Departments that licensed the sales also prohibited them. <br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/hillarys-secret-war-provided-material-assistance-to-terrorists/5460237<br /><br />How could that be?<br /><br />That’s where Clinton’s secret State Department and her secret war come in.

Ali al-Harzi<br />Tariq is an interesting guy because his profile pretty closely matches that of the mysterious "Abu Sayyaf", the Tunisian killed in the Special Forces raid in Syria in May, whose wife, Umm Sayyaf, was captured and is still being interrogated in some secret place in Iraq. <br /><br />The Soufan Group thought Tariq might be Abu Sayyaf. He's alleged to be a leader of ISIS, <br />involved in oil, has obtained big amounts of financing for ISIS from Qatar, <br />involved in kidnappings of foreign hostages, suicide bombers and recruiting. <br />The U.S. announced a $3 million reward for Tariq's capture or killing several months ago.<br /><br />Tariq Bin-al-Tahar Bin al Falih al-‘Awni al-Harzi was one of the first terrorists to join ISIL and has served as an ISIL official operating in Syria. He has helped to raise funds from Gulf-based donors for ISIL and has recruited and facilitated the travel of ISIL fighters. He was named ISIL’s leader for the border region between Syria and Turkey. As of late 2013, al-Harzi was chief of ISIL’s suicide bombers, overseeing ISIL’s suicide bomber facilitation pipeline. <br /><br />Al-Harzi also has procured and shipped weapons from Libya and Syria for ISIL operations in Iraq. On September 24, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated al-Harzi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.<br /><br />http://www.talkleft.com/story/2015/6/23/705/16081/wariniraq/Benghazi-Suspect-<br /><br />Ali-Awni-al-Harzi-Killed-in-Mosul-Drone-Strike<br />He was arrested in Turkey in October, 2012 and deported to Tunisia, where he was questioned by the FBI in December, 2012 and then released on bond in January, 2013. <br /><br />US officials, including then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and John Brennan, who became the CIA director, were asked about Harzi’s release during congressional hearings.<br /><br />In late January 2013, Clinton told senators that the Tunisians had “assured”<br /> the United States that Harzi was “under the monitoring of the court.” <br />In February, during his confirmation process to become CIA director, Brennan claimed that the US government “didn’t have anything on” Harzi and, therefore, his release was not worrisome.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-29141270863415525582015-07-03T05:13:38.248-07:002015-07-03T05:13:38.248-07:00June 15 2015

Reuters reports that the payment levels were confirmed by the Pentagon and also that the Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and Navy Commander Elissa Smith both separately admitted the fact that these “new” terrorists are receiving a stipend.<br /><br />Reuters also reported on alleged obstacles the Pentagon claims it is facing regarding the ability to train the death squad volunteers due to a lack of ability to “vet” them appropriately as well as a bizarre incident where fighters abandon the mission after having received training from the US military. <br />The reason provided by the Pentagon was that the fighters did not want to sign <br />a contract to avoid fighting Assad. But, in the same report, the Pentagon states that there was no such contract – only one requiring them <br />to “respect human rights” and “the rule of law,” so the reason provided for the disappearance of these fighters lacks legitimacy. <br /><br />One can only speculate as to where these “trainees” disappeared to. <br />http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article42285.htm<br /><br /><br />From the Washington Post, November 10:<br />Last week, a U.S. Embassy delegation, led by CIA operatives,<br />traveled to Benghazi to meet and recruit fighters <br />directly from the Libyan Shield, <br />a powerful umbrella organization of militias, <br /><br />according to Fathi al-Obeidi, <br /><br />a commander of the group.<br /><br />The Libyan Shield provided the rescue force that assisted the U.S mission in Benghazi on the night of the attack, and Obeidi said his fighters represent the most viable local option for a special unit.<br /><br />Wonder how that Libya Shield "assistance" worked out? <br />All I seem to read about it is that the US rescue force was held up at the airport in Benghazi for hours awaiting permissions or papers or red tape or until everyone was dead or whatever. It seems that after the ragtag US team finally arrived at the CIA annex (relying on GPS coordinates, according to Time magazine) with their Libya Shield escort, the annex came under attack. <br /><br />The U.S. Embassy in Tripoli could not be reached for comment, and Lt. Col. James Gregory, a Pentagon spokesman, said that U.S. officials were still <br />in the preliminary stages of the program and had not yet determined the size <br />or composition of the force.<br /><br />It was also unclear whether the visit described by Obeidi was part <br />of the $8 million Defense Department initiative or a separate project.<br /><br />http://dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2311/More-Libya-Madness.aspx<br /><br /><br /> Feb 28, 2011 <br />Libyan warplanes bombed an arms dump inside a rebel-held eastern district on Monday, two senior security sources said, as hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Tripoli to demonstrate against long-time leader Muammar Gadhafi. <br /><br />"It's true, they hit an arms dump in Djabiya.

Utilizing the consumer culture’s celebrity fetish to sell war (and the illusory “green economy“) is a vital marketing strategy of Purpose. In the case of #withSyria, famed street artist Banksy has reworked his “Young Girl” famed graffiti stencil in support of the campaign. On the main page of this website the behavioural change strategists at Purpose promote a slick, emotive video of a white child (in America) slowly becoming traumatized by the violence in Syria. <br />No doubt, Purpose’s marketing executives have taken this avenue because they know that the majority of Euro-Americans with privilege simply are not moved by images of suffering children that are non-Caucasian. Non-White children being slaughtered by imperial states became normalized for most Euro-American citizens long ago. <br /><br />https://libya360.wordpress.com/2014/09/17/syria-avaaz-purpose-the-art-of-selling-hate-for-empire/<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-31242079651374477322015-06-09T04:20:42.011-07:002015-06-09T04:20:42.011-07:00Anonymous @YourAnonCentral
