Predator Powers Prey with Impunity

Propagandized as Humanitarianism Over there, Homeland Security Over here

Western Imperialist Aggression exploits Traditional Lands, Cultures:

Middle East and Africa Prey of USA

Traditionally tribal, factional lands, many of their inhabitants — without parallel in impoverishment, their conditions of destitution inconceivable in the West — are easily divided, manipulated and conquered.

EWARE

 Beware the true “terror state”

Beware those who train, arm, sell arms to those they label “terrorists”

Beware U.S. leaders and their allied “terrorists” of convenience: At least as far back as the Mujahedeen, as recent as the U.S. love affair with (multi-million dollar donor of) “White Helmets” and a courtship with “Daesh” (call them by whatever euphemism or naming U.S. leaders/media choose).

BEWARE U.S. leaders, who use bogeymen they have created, aided and abetted for their political or/or imperialistic purposes and aspirations.

BEWARE a deliberately ignorant citizenry (stuck in CNN, Fox, other US- entrenched print and broadcast mouthpieces and newer Internet applications media, hanging on to their favored politicians and pals) whose lifestyle consists in being distracted, obliviously consuming the latest stuff; without engaging in essential citizenry diligence of digging deeper, tuning into a broader and comparative field of reporting from the ground of (or as close as possible to) real-world realities.

T

oday’s News

Press TV programs pegged to U.S. leaders’ (and bloodthirsty media’s) latest swamp-talk staging of a chest-thumping, convenient taking of life:

• October 27, 2019 (updated October 28, 2019): “The Debate” headlined “Daesh leader dead” focuses on the U.S.-reported elimination of a Daesh leader by the US forces occupying Syria.

The Anchor notes that “many have reacted skeptically to the announcement on the grounds that the terrorist group had been created by the US and its allies in the first place; others have looked at it as a political stunt for [U.S. President Donald] Trump to invigorate his base” leading into the 2020 elections.

• October 28, 2018: “On The News Line” headlines “The Timing of Baghdadi’s death” and reports on U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of “the death of the Daesh head and one of the most wanted people on earth during what [the U.S. President] called a dangerous and daring operation by U.S. Special Forces in northwestern Syria.”

In lurid language, the U.S. President “said al-Baghdadi was cornered in a tunnel as the U.S. troops closed in on him, forcing him to detonate an explosive vest that killed him and three of his children as he [al-Baghdadi] was ‘whimpering and crying.’”

For American skeptics calling for proof and/or Halloween horror-seekers thirsting to see the blood of the slain, the president assured them that “the military had taken DNA samples from his [al-Baghdadi’s] remains and had confirmed that it was the long-sought-after fugitive.”

l Baghdadi

Born “Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai” (of the tribal group known as Al-Bu Badri tribe, which includes sub-tribes among them “the Radhawiyyah, Husseiniyyah, Adnaniyyah, and Quraysh”); grandson of “Haj Ibrahim Ali al-Badri, (who) apparently lived until the age of 94 and witnessed the US invasion and occupation of Iraq,” Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi, on October 26, 2019, in reports referencing a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump, “killed himself and three children by detonating a suicide vest during the Barisha raid conducted by the Joint Special Operations Command’s (JSOC) 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D), commonly known as Delta Force, in Syria’s northwestern Idlib Province.”

Though Al-Baghdadi was considered a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” by the United States, he had been among the chosen advisors or political leaders within his religious group.

The U.S. Department of State, from 2011 had offered “a reward of $10 million” (in 2017 increased to “$25 million”) “for information or intelligence on his whereabouts to enable capture, dead or alive.”
