"The West Created [Islamic State] as a Weapon of Geopolitical Coercion
[Islamic State]’s own alleged agenda of transforming
the world into a “caliphate” is cartoonishly absurd. In reality, it is
clear that [Islamic State] shows up and exercises force in regions of the world the
US and its allies cannot intervene in directly. This includes North
Africa, the Middle East, and even as far as Asia.
Far from a “conspiracy theory,” it would be the US’ own Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that would admit as much in a leaked 2012 report (.pdf) which stated:
If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).
To clarify just who these “supporting
powers” were that sought the creation of a “Salafist” (Islamic)
principality” (State), the DIA report explains:
The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime.
Between this admission, and an earlier exposé in 2007 by veteran journalist Seymour Hersh in his New Yorker piece titled, “The Redirection”
where US and Saudi plans to use Al Qaeda to wage proxy war on Syria and
Iran were revealed, it is clear that both Al Qaeda and IS are being
used by the West to wage war on Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran, and even
Moscow.
[Islamic State's] supply lines clearly, even admittedly run from NATO territory in Turkey where the US and its regional allies have categorically failed to interdict them and even appear to be aiding and abetting the flow of men and materiel into IS-held territory in Syria and Iraq. These supply lines are what has allowed pressure to be continuously placed upon Damascus and its allies over the past 5 years in ways nonexistent “moderate rebels” couldn’t.
In Indonesia, as Jakarta clearly began re-balancing toward Beijing, IS carried out its first deadly attack on the Southeast Asian nation. Thailand’s similar re-balancing also prompted threats from the US that an “IS attack” was imminent."
