GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING: Why Conspiracy Theorists Think Al-Qaeda Did 9/11

Al-Qaeda is a CIA creation. That sounds like a crazy assertion because for nine years we’ve heard from the establishment media and corrupt political leaders that Al-Qaeda is a transnational menace, and the Western world’s biggest security threat in the 21st century. But, there is nothing crazy about restating the truth. What’s crazy is to keep denying this simple fact as impossible, and continuing to blindly trust the voices of authority just because they are in authority.

In general, Islamic terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Hamas were created, funded, and trained by the CIA and Mossad to serve their own interests in the Middle East. By framing Palestinian resistance as terrorism to the world, Israel’s leaders are able to carry out their objectives of creating a unified Israeli state, and destroying the Palestinian resistance. Likewise, under the umbrella of the war on terrorism, the Anglo-American establishment is in the position to secure large areas in the Middle East and Central Asia, providing them the military footing in a region of great geopolitical importance.

Reporter Richard Sale exposed Israel-Hamas connections in an article called “Hamas History Tied To Israel” that appeared in the United Press International back in June of 2002. Sale wrote:
Israel and Hamas may currently be locked in deadly combat, but, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials, beginning in the late 1970s, Tel Aviv gave direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas over a period of years.
Israel “aided Hamas directly — the Israelis wanted to use it as a counterbalance to the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization),” said Tony Cordesman, Middle East analyst for the Center for Strategic Studies.
Israel’s support for Hamas “was a direct attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO by using a competing religious alternative,” said a former senior CIA official.
It is dumbfounding to first learn that Israel gave financial support to Hamas, especially since Israeli leaders frequently accuse Iran of funding terrorism, and meddling in the Palestinian peace process. One expects the Iranian regime to be a supporter of terrorism because it is undoubtedly brutal, and anti-democratic, but to find out that Israel, a Western-style democracy, funds and trains terrorists, and not just any terrorists, but terrorists that recruit other unwitting terrorists who seek Israel harm, is a bewildering realization. What else are Israeli leaders capable of? What else are U.S. leaders capable of? If they arm and fund terrorists, then what is the depth of their evil crimes?
Thinking like a cold-hearted foreign policy strategist is a prerequisite to understanding the sophisticated rationale behind the Israeli, American, and British intelligence agencies joint-policy of recruiting Islamic terrorists, funding and training them, and letting them loose into the wild. Since Islamists are the enemies of popular leftist movements that promote social and democratic values, it is natural for Western and Israeli elites, who also hate grassroots democratic movements rising up in the Middle East because they threaten their power, to extend their hand to the Islamists and provide them with resources and training, in the name of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
The secret arrangement between Western intelligence agencies and Islamists worked perfectly in Iran in 1953 when the CIA lend support to the religious radicals, whose antagonism against Muhammad Mosaddeq’s government strengthened the chances of a successful CIA coup against the democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddeq. Twenty six years later, of course, the religious radicals grew out of their subservient role, ousted the U.S.-backed Shah, and turned into the monsters that they are today.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution showed that propping up terrorists and radicals can backfire, it may take a generation or two, but there is always blowback in warfare, regardless if it is fought by means of deception.
Israel’s support for Hamas in its early development was both direct, and indirect. Investigative reporter Robert Dreyfuss explained the foundations of Islamic fundamentalism in his book“Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam.” On January 26, 2006, the day of Hamas’s victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections, Dreyfuss appeared on Democracy Now to promote his book, telling Amy Goodman about the establishment of Hamas. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
