While the people of the United States are being deliberately distracted by the criminally over-hyped Ebola Crisis™, President Peace Prize is backing the Shi’a death-squads of the murderous al-Maliki regime in Iraq (read here , here and here) and air-dropping weapons, munitions and other aid to a notorious terrorist organization, the Kurdish Worker’s Party (PKK), in Syria (read here and here).

 

“The United States has airdropped small arms, ammunition and medical supplies to Kurdish militia forces in the besieged city of Kobani who have been fighting back an ISIS assault for weeks. The airdrops will likely stir controversy with the Turkish government, which has opposed support for Kurdish military groups in Syria that it believes are affiliated with a Kurdish group that has conducted terrorist attacks inside Turkey for decades” ABC News

“The airdrops are almost certain to anger the Turkish government, which has said it would oppose any U.S. arms transfers to the Kurdish rebels in Syria. Turkey views the main Kurdish group in Syria as an extension of the Turkish Kurd group known as the PKK, which has waged a 30-year insurgency in Turkey and is designated a terror group by the U.S. and by NATO.” AP

Senior administration officials reported that on Sunday night three American C-130 aircraft dropped 27 pallets of materials for the Kurdish fighters in or near Kobani. It was classified as “the type of material that would help them sustain this fight.”

 

The PKK is classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey, NATO, the EU and the United States among many others.

The following other individual countries have listed or otherwise labelled the PKK in an official capacity as a terrorist organization:

Australia,^[133][134] Austria,^[135] Azerbaijan,^[136] Canada,^[137] Germany,^[138] Iran,^[139] Japan,^[140] Kazakhstan,^[141] Kyrgyzstan,^[142] the Netherlands,^[143] New Zealand,^[144] Spain,^[145] and Syria.^[146]

 

The United States has been trying to cultivate an atmosphere over the past several months that would allow them to remove the PKK from their list of international terrorist organizations and export that PR move to other NATO and EU nations. They fully understood that they would need them in their destabilization campaign in Syria and perhaps part of the reward they might have promised the terrorists is some kind of assistance getting their hands on the controls in Turkey, something they have been trying to do for three decades.

 

“US media and think tanks along with some European politicians are discussing removing the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) from the lists of terrorist organizations, encouraged by the Turkish government’s negotiations with the group and its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Öcalan, and the PKK’s new role assisting in the fight against the terrorist Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

The PKK is currently manning the frontlines to help defeat ISIL…” Aug. 31, 2014

Here’s a bit of a Christian Science Monitor article from back in Aug. of this year where they wonder aloud if this terrorist organization is a “terrorist or ally” in Obama’s war against “ISIS”

 

“The Islamic State only has a war experience of two years but we have 30 years of experience in fighting,” says Sabri Ok, a senior PKK leader, in a rare interview….

… “The most logical approach would be to send ammunition and guns to those forces who have resisted the Islamic State, which proved they can resist IS attacks,” Ok tells the Christian Science Monitor. “Our forces are the ones that are really on the ground defending the people and the United States should see that.” Christian Science Monitor

 

Notice they accept the fact that this terrorist group has been committing acts of terrorism for the past 30 years and somehow these “Christians” think that’s not such a bad thing and even a plus on their resume. Also notice the foreshadowing, where this leader of a terrorist organization says he hopes the U.S. starts sending them weapons and ammunition for their efforts.

 

Yes, there is no doubt that the PKK is “manning the front lines” in Syria on our behalf. The question is, who are they attacking? “ISIS” or the Syrian people and their legitimate government’s institutions?

 

In this recent CNN article, they actually claim that the terrorist organization, the PKK, is Obama’s best choice for “boots on the ground” and perhaps we had better remove them from that terrorist group list before the general public figures out that Obama is arming yet another terrorist organization with decades worth of civilian blood on their hands.

 

“The PKK has effectively become the West’s best hope for on-the-ground troops, winning the group positive reviews in Western media. Since the group started its assault against ISIS in northern Iraq, there has been a lot of talk in Western capitals about removing the PKK from the terror list.” CNN

 

The CNN article makes it clear that a recent vote in Turkey’s legislature opens the possibility for Turkish troops to enter Syria in defense of their nation but it remains unclear as too what Turkey will actually do there. There is talk that they may have just opened the door to getting involved on behalf of the Syrian government in an effort to thwart the advance of the PKK.

 

“The wording of last week’s parliamentary resolution — which states that “the terrorist elements of the outlawed PKK still exist in northern Iraq” — suggests that Kurdish separatists still remain the Turkish government’s top concern.” CNN

 

Don’t forget, our failed color revolution in Turkey wasn’t that long ago and I seriously doubt leadership in Turkey has forgotten it.

 

There is no doubt that the US military, on orders from the Commander in Chief, just air-dropped supplies and weapons to an officially classified terrorist organization.  There is no doubt that this group has just recently been brought in, around the same time the Obama administration needed to “ISIS Crisis” to justify helping the murderous regime in Iraq hold power while expanding his terrorist destabilization campaign in Syria.

Recently  Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov addressed the UN General Assembly asking them specifically to take on a new role, stopping the United States from waging these terrorist wars of aggression via proxy in various nations (Libya, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Syria and others)

 

Let’s see if Sergei puts his money where his mouth is in spite of the fact that one of Russia’s leading oligarchs is betting on the al-Maliki regime in order to pilfer even more of the natural resources from the people of Iraq. My guess is, it’ll be the same complicit silence we hear these days from the “anti-war” left here in the states. But I guess there’s always…
