This is Mohammad al Jolani, the guy CNN lionized DAYS before they swept UNCONTESTED into Damascus.
He is a WANTED TERRORIST who has killed civilians in Syria and elsewhere and also claims to have KILLED US SERVICEMEN IN IRAQ.
Biden took a moment to CHEER his efforts.
For the record, the group this guy belongs to supposedly did this a couple years ago. Just saying.
Biden claimed his is looking for a way to work with these guys.
Is that legal by the way? no
' The Antiterrorism Act also created 18 U.S.C. § 2339B, which makes it unlawful, within the United States, or for any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States anywhere, to knowingly provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization that has been designated by the Secretary of State.' Department of JusticeThat's according to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. Notice the penalty for that one is kind of stiff. Almost like they USED TO THINK that providing aid and comfort to terrorists was kind of a really BAD THING TO DO.
But today... let's take a look at the gaslighting we are getting from the paper of record, the New York Times.
'For President Biden, the fall of Syria’s tyrant on Sunday was a moment to cheer what he called a “fundamental act of justice” and to claim a measure of credit for his own policy.
But it also presented Mr. Biden with a fundamental challenge late in his presidency: How does the United States make friends with the newly emerging forces taking control in Syria when it has deemed them terrorists? And should it?
The main rebel faction that toppled President Bashar al-Assad is a group called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which was once an affiliate of Al Qaeda...... “Make no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses,” he said on Sunday. “We’ve taken note of statements by the leaders of these rebel groups in recent days and they’re saying the right things now. But as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words but their actions.”...
... “We’re cleareyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum to reestablish its capability, to create a safe haven,” Mr. Biden said. “We will not let that happen.”
To that end, Mr. Biden authorized U.S. airstrikes on Sunday against Islamic State camps and operatives inside Syria. A swarm of B-52, F-15 and A-10 warplanes hit more than 75 targets in central Syria with about 140 munitions, according to U.S. officials...' NYT
For the record, we aren't bombing ISIS. We never have. We watch them cruise around on what looks like our white Helix trucks from one town to the next clearing the way for the glorious Kurds to come in and set up shop.
Just because al Qaeda rebranded themselves into al Nusra or ISIS or Hayat Tahrir al Sham doesn't mean it's not still al Qaeda and it doesn't mean it makes any difference when it comes to U.S. laws regarding providing comfort to terrorists.
But see, we use terrorists to overthrow leaders we don't like, like Bashar Assad for instance. It's called irregular warfare or unconventional warfare. We do it all the time which makes moments like these kind of sticky for the leaders when it happens.
'“Operations conducted by, with, or through irregular forces in support of a resistance movement, an insurgency, or conventional military operations.” FM 3-05.201, (S/NF) Special Forces Unconventional Warfare (U) 28 September 2007...
JP 1-02 defines IW (Irregular Warfare) as “a violent struggle among state and nonstate actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations (nations). IW favors indirect and asymmetric approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capacities in order to erode an adversary’s power, influence, and will.” source
We have to be gaslit by publications like the NYT and media giants like CNN in order to kind of passively accept it without freaking out.
Events like these present us with some, sketchy moments at best. Remember this one when Hillary Clinton went down to Libya to congratulate the terrorists we used to overthrow and kill a beloved leader of his country?
These terrorists are our contractors in the same way any DoD contractors are. Like EcoHealth Alliance for instance. You know, the guys who took novel coronaviruses, added the Furin cleavage site and made Sars-CoV-2 back in mid-2019. Right before Event 201? Ring any bells?
We have been conditioned to accept these terrorists as our heroes since Reagan famously said the Contra terrorists were "the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers."
But that doesn't excuse it.
And it doesn't make it feel any better when these corporate raiders unleash the worst humans on the planet to rape and plunder and torture and kill on behalf of our 'national interests'
So Biden stands with al Qaeda terrorists today, rebranded or not, that is who they are. But that doesn't mean we have to.
In Ukraine we stand with Nazis. Literal Nazis.
In Palestine we stand with messianic Zionists during their ethnic cleansing operation.
Back home we mandate untested mRNA experimental gene therapy treatments in little children just so they can go to school.
In Libya we back more al Qaeda terrorists overthrowing a beloved leader.
And today we watch Grandpa Joe literally contemplate just how friendly he should get with people who, according to him, did this:
I guess when Dick Cheney said we are going to have to walk on the dark side for a while, this is what he meant.
And he would know. Cus he's the one who really did 9/11, for the record.
It's a dark day in Syria.
It's a dark day for humans everywhere.
Yeah the Nazis actually won and so did the terrorists. They supposedly hated us for our freedom. How's that going by the way. And they hated us for our way of life. Now we become them because we are too afraid to look them in the eye and call em out for what they are.
And I'm not talking about our contractors.
