Peter Kassig, whatever else he was, was no “humanitarian” and in all likelihood, he was operating a front NGO out of Turkey helping train and supply Barack Obama’s regime change destabilization campaign of death-squads in Syria from late 2012 to Oct. 2013. That conclusion is based on the fact that he was indeed a special forces Ranger with the 75th Ranger Regiment in Iraq from mid-2006 to 2007.
“(in 2006) Kassig then became a U.S. Army Ranger, with an army special operations unit, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. His service including training in Fort Benning, Georgia, and a fourteen-month deployment to Iraq, from June 2006 to September 2007, when he received a medical discharge ” Wiki bio
What were the 75th Ranger Regiment doing in Iraq during that time? It’s called the Salvador Option and it’s basically the same thing we are doing now: training and aiding pro-government death-squads in Iraq in order to quell an uprising against our puppet regime, to make them “obey and submit” to our occupation.
Between September 2003 and August 2008, McChrystal commanded the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations (JSOC), tasked to set up death squads and paramilitary forces to terrorise communities and movements opposing the US and its allies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. JSOC’s Major General William Mayville described the operation in Iraq: “JSOC was a killing machine.”
(http://www.counterpunch.org/grant06242010.html)JSOC has also been described as “the Salvadoran option” after the US-created death squads that brutalised El Salvador in the 1980s. (Ibid.) McChrystal was in charge of the “direct action” forces of the Special Missions Units. Petras explained:
“‘Direct Action’ operatives are the death-squads and torturers, and their only engagement with the local population is to terrorize, and not to propagandize. They engage in ‘propaganda of the dead’, assassinating local leaders to ‘teach’ the locals to obey and submit to the occupation.” (Ibid.) Media Lens
The death-squad posterboy McChrystal, had a special affinity for the 75th and he brought the 75th’s “killing machine” approach to his leadership of JSOC.
But JSOC’s star truly began to rise when then-Maj. Gen. Stan McChrystal took command in 2003, said one recently retired SEAL officer…
…Before McChrystal, who spent much of his career in the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, “we were really good at what we did [in JSOC], but we were pirates and totally disorganized,” the retired SEAL officer said. “McChrystal took the Ranger discipline, applied it systematically to the organization and then completely changed the way the organization works within the government, within the Defense Department and then within the greater interagency.”
McChrystal’s vision and force of personality molded JSOC, its component units – and, crucially, its partners in the intelligence community – into a force that took its ability to conduct precision raids to an industrial scale Defense News
Death-squads in Iraq on an “industrial scale” all thanks to Stan and the Salvador Option.
JSOC is made up of many operational groups of the military, including the 75th
The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) also commands and controls the Special Mission Units (SMU) of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). These units perform highly classified activities.[5][6][7] So far, only three SMUs have been publicly disclosed: The Army‘s 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment—Delta, the Navy‘s Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) – SEAL Team Six, and the Air Force‘s 24th Special Tactics Squadron.[8] Units from the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment are controlled by JSOC when deployed as part of JSOC Task Forces such as Task Force 121 and Task Force 145 Wiki page on JSOC
So, what does 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment actually do?
“Primary tasks include: direct action, national and international emergency crisis response, airfield seizure, airborne & air assault operations, special reconnaissance, intelligence & counter intelligence, combat search and rescue, personnel recovery & hostage rescue, joint special operations, and counter terrorism.”
“The United States and many allied countries consider DA one of the basic special operations missions. Some units specialize in it, such as Rangers of the 75th Ranger Regiment,”
“Unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance and direct action roles have merged through the decades and are typically performed primarily by the same units.”
So there we have proof of what 1st Battalion, 75th Rangers were doing in Iraq. “Direct action” operations, described as death-squads and torturers.
It only makes sense given Kassig’s background and the flimsey cover of his NGO’s website, that he was continuing the work in Syria that he was trained to do in Iraq. Unconventional warfare.
Special Forces, inserted deep behind enemy lines, are used unconventionally to train, equip, and advise locals who seek to change their oppressive regimes. They can also spread subversion and propaganda, while they aid native resistance fighters, to ultimately cause a hostile government to capitulate.
Peter Kassig was no humanitarian aid worker. He was a privatized contractor, working to destabilize Syria with some of the worst people this planet has to offer, in service of the endless Global War of Terror.
And now the faked video of his death will aid that cause once again.
