11 Reasons Why The Threat From Al-Qaeda is Not Real
11 Reasons Why The Threat From Al-Qaeda is Not Real
Al-Qaeda is either one of these things, or it is a combination of them: a) a completely fake threat; the organization does not exist, b) an organization that exists in small numbers but was created by the CIA to serve a corrupt U.S. foreign policy, and remains a U.S. intelligence asset in the manufactured global war on terrorism, or c) a small organization that exists independently of the U.S. government but its strength and influence in the Middle East is exaggerated by radical policymakers and officials in Washington. Out of all three statements the first and second deserve the most serious attention because they are supported by the evidence listed below.
#1. Radical American cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was ordered to be assassinated by President Obama, met with top military officials at the Pentagon months after the 9/11 attacks. Were Pentagon officials sincerely interested in reaching out to members of the Muslim community, or were they recruiting radical Muslim clerics to spread the message of radical Islam in order to validate and sustain the Bush administration's war on terror? It is not outrageous or crazy to raise the question if the U.S. government aims to inflame radical Islam, even by funding and supporting undercover intelligence agents that front as terrorists, in order to make the American people perceive that they are in danger of violent Islamic extremism, and cause them to give up their liberties for permanent security.
An alarming piece of news is that follows an undeniable pattern of government-induced terrorist activity is of an FBI informant, Craig Monteilh, who infiltrated a Mosque in California, and shouted violent rhetoric with the intention to entrap potential terrorists, and then sell it to the public that "Hey, the FBI arrested someone at a Mosque who wanted to blow a building up," without mentioning the fact that the FBI agent was the one who got the ball rolling in the first place. In this case, however, the government's plan to attract and create terrorists didn't work. The Washington Post reported: "In the Irvine case, Monteilh's mission as an informant backfired. Muslims were so alarmed by his talk of violent jihad that they obtained a restraining order against him."
#2. CIA Director Leon Panetta revealed in June 2010 on ABC's This Week that there are less than 100 Al-Qaeda members in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. "I think the estimate on the number of Al Qaeda," said Panetta, "is actually relatively small. At most, we're looking at 50 to 100, maybe less. It's in that vicinity." By contrast, there are more than 100,000 American soldiers and military contractors in the region. You can't call it a fair fight. You can't even say "it's not a fair fight," because, in reality, it is not a fight at all. It is not a fight. 50,000 Al-Qaeda members would make it a fight. It still wouldn't be a fair fight, but it would be a fight.
#3. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), one of the world's leading security think tanks, published a report this year which said that the threat of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban is exaggerated by Western policymakers. The report warned that the war in Afghanistan will become a "long, drawn-out disaster" if troops are not withdrawn. Nigel Inkster, a former deputy chief of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service who is a member of the think tank, also said that the threat from Al-Qaeda in Pakistan is minimal, and almost absent in Yemen, and Somalia.
