The old “non-lethal” gambit

High-profile people in high office in DC are just filling slots, but the policy output from those offices does not change nor is it original with them. Replacing Colin Powell with Condoleezza Rice with Hillary Clinton with John Kerry is merely shuffling of personalities to the podium to announce policy initiatives that come from inside the bowels of the Pentagon, CIA, “defense” contractors or Wall Street, or any combination thereof. The office Secretary of State does require a lot of traveling and face time with foreign personalities, and so is a good career choice for anyone unhappy in marriage or just wanting to travel the world. No doubt Bill Clinton was thrilled when Hillary took the job.

“Secretary of State” John Kerry announced that the US will deliver $60 million in “non-lethal” aid to the Syrian “rebels.” Those quotes are there to help you see through the mist.

  • Kerry, having served intelligence interests since his days as a war protester (infiltrator, “op,”), is semi-retired now.
  • “Non-lethal” aid is only the aid we are allowed to see. Real aid – bombs for terrorist attacks, chemical weapons, guns and mortars are either sent to Syria on the sly or routed through another country, like Israel, Poland, or some other complicit client state. (That’s the old ,Nicaraguan “Contra” ploy, where their weapons came from Israel, Iran, Czechoslovakia, South Africa).
  • And the “rebels” are run by western intelligence, and probably consist of fighters trained in Libya, Kosovo, Saudi Arabia, perhaps Guantanamo and other places. Often, when used for other purposes, they are called “Al Qaeda.” They are run by Americans, Brits and Israelis. Since Syria is a former French colony, it is logical to assume significant involvement by them too.

The attack on Syria is just another imperialist venture, and President Bashar al-Assad’s “crime,” the only one anyone cares about, is the refusal to allow his country to be integrated into the London-Washington financial system. That is why our terrorists decide that other people are terrorists.

  1. I would not doubt that the US and others would find it ideal if they were in the position of running or controlling all of the various militias fighting Assad’s government but I highly doubt they are.

    1. According to what I read, France is the driving force there and has screwed it up, especially by opening a second front in Mali. They don’t have the ability to fight two wars at once. So the US and Israel are taking a bigger role. To this point, it’s been futile, Assad is intelligent and has wide support from Russia, Hezbollah, China and Iran. Rebel forces have been decimated, so reinforcements are on the way. It’s a powder keg, non-lethal my ass.
