Engdahl is een uitstekend analist. Hij ziet alles. Maar op de achtergrond geeft hij toch bescherming aan Israel.
Dat de inval in Irak geheel illegaal was, weet Engdahl, maar hij ziet alleen de olie-belangen. Was Oded Yinon in 1982 bezig met oliebelangen? Nee natuurlijk.
Engdahl ziet dat Israël samenwerkt met Isis en Al Qaida, en weet dat hierover al VN rapporten bestaan die de Media al heel lang verzwijgen. Maar Engdahl zegt niks, tot hij kan wijzen naar oliebelangen.
Engdahl fungeert qua berichtgeving als een 'limited hangout'.
Niettemin vind ik het van belang om zijn blog hier te herhalen.
Maar mijn interpretatie is: Het gaat niet om de olie. Die olie in de Golanis een dekmantel.
Het gaat om de realisatie van het Yinon Plan: alle buurlanden van Israel moeten van ontdaan worden van hun sterke leiders en in burgeroorlogen uiteen vallen.
Als Israel daarbij een handje kan helpen doet ze het graag.
Als in die buurlanden dan een Kalifaat aan de macht komt: des te beter.
Als dat Kalifaat besluit om nu eindelijk Israel eens van de kaart te vegen, dan heeft Israel helemaal wat het wenst: een goed alibi om al die moslims met enkele atoombommen van de wereld te vegen.
Lees ook Jack Perry, vandaag , op ICH: 'Die gekke Neocons ( een joodse stroming in de VS die de macht daar in handen heeft) sturen bewust aan op WO3 ! En dat wordt een nucleaire oorlog ! '
Ze willen geen Golan olie. Ze willen dood en verderf. Datzal wel aangeboren zijn.
Dat is de ernst van de situatie.
Hier het artikel van Engdahl:
Israeli
Colonel Caught with IS Pants Down
By
F. William Engdahl
November 26, 2015
"Information Clearing
House" - "NEO"
- This was definitely not supposed to happen. It seems that an Israeli military
man with the rank of colonel was “caught with IS pants down.” By that I mean he
was captured amid a gaggle
of so-called IS–or Islamic State or ISIS or DAESH depending on your
preference–terrorists, by soldiers of the Iraqi army. Under interrogation by
the Iraqi intelligence he apparently said a lot regarding the role of
Netanyahu’s IDF in supporting IS.
In late October an
Iranian news agency, quoting a senior Iraqi intelligence officer, reported the
capture of an Israeli army colonel, named Yusi Oulen Shahak, reportedly related
to the ISIS Golani Battalion operating in Iraq in the Salahuddin front. In a statement
to Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency a Commander of the Iraqi Army stated,
“The security and popular forces have held captive an Israeli colonel.” He
added that the IDF colonel “had participated in the Takfiri ISIL group’s
terrorist operations.” He said the colonel was arrested together with a number
of ISIL or IS terrorists, giving the details: “The Israeli colonel’s name is
Yusi Oulen Shahak and is ranked colonel in Golani Brigade… with the security
and military code of Re34356578765az231434.”
Why
Israel?
Ever since the
beginning of Russia’s very effective IS bombing of select targets in Syria on
September 30, details of the very dirty role of not only Washington, but also
NATO member Turkey under President Erdogan, Qatar and other states has come
into the sunlight for the first time.
It’s becoming
increasingly clear that at least a faction in the Obama Administration has
played a very dirty behind-the-scenes role in supporting IS in order to advance
the removal of Syrian President Bashar al Assad and pave the way for what
inevitably would be a Libya-style chaos and destruction which would make the
present Syrian refugee crisis in Europe a mere warmup by comparison.
The “pro-IS faction”
in Washington includes the so-called neo-conservatives centered around
disgraced former CIA head and executioner of the Iraqi “surge” General David
Petraeus. It also includes US General John R. Allen, who since September 2014
had served as President Obama’s Special Presidential Envoy for the Global
Coalition to Counter ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) and, until she
resigned in February 2013, it included Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton.
Significantly,
General John Allen, an unceasing advocate of a US-led “No Fly Zone” inside
Syria along the border to Turkey, something President Obama refused, was
relieved of his post on 23 October, 2015. That was shortly after launch of the
highly-effective Russian strikes on Syrian IS and Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front
terrorist sites changed the entire situation in the geopolitical picture of
Syria and the entire Middle East.
UN
Reports cites Israel
That Netanyahu’s Likud
and the Israeli military work closely with Washington’s neo-conservative
war-hawks is well-established, as is the vehement opposition of Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. Israel regards the
Iranian-backed Shi’a Islamist militant group, Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, as
arch foe. Hezbollah has been actively fighting alongside the Syrian Army
against ISIS in Syria. General Allen’s strategy of “bombings of ISIS” since he
was placed in charge of the operation in September 2014, as Russia’s Putin and
Foreign Minister Lavrov have repeatedly pointed out, far from destroying ISIS
in Syria, had vastly expanded their territorial control of thecountry. Now it becomes clear that that was precisely
the intent of Allen and the Washington war faction.
Since at least 2013
Israeli military have also openly bombed what they claim were Hezbollah targets
inside Syria. Investigation revealed that in fact Israel was hitting Syrian
military and Hezbollah targets who are valiantly fighting against ISIS and
other terrorists. De facto thereby Israel was actually helping ISIS, like
General John Allen’s year-long “anti-ISIS” bombings.
That a faction in the
Pentagon has secretly worked behind-the-scenes to train, arm and finance what
today is called ISIS or IS in Syria is now a matter of open record. In August
2012, a Pentagon document classified “Secret,” later declassified under
pressure of the US NGO Judicial Watch, detailed precisely the emergence of what
became the Islamic State or ISIS emerging from the Islamic State in Iraq, then
an Al Qaeda affiliate.
The Pentagon document
stated, “…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 [to Assad-w.e.] want, in
order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of
the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).” The supporting powers to the opposition in
2012 then included Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the USA and behind-the-scenes,
Netanyahu’s Israel.
Precisely this
creation of a “Salafist Principality in eastern Syria,” today’s territory of
ISIL or IS, was the agenda of Petraeus, General Allen and others in Washington
to destroy Assad. It’s what put the Obama Administration at loggerhead with
Russia, China and Iran over the bizarre US demand Assad must first go before
ISIS can be destroyed. Now the game is in the open for the world to see
Washington’s duplicity in backing what the Russian’s accurately call “moderate
terrorists” against a duly-elected Assad. That Israel is also in the midst of
this rats’ nest of opposition terrorist forces in Syria was confirmed in a
recent UN report.
What the report did
not mention was why Israeli IDF military would have such a passionate interest
in Syria, especially Syria’s Golan Heights.
Why
Israel wants Assad Out
In December, 2014 the
Jerusalem Post in Israel reported the findings of a largely ignored, and
politically explosive report detailing UN sightings of Israeli military
together with ISIS terrorist combatants. The UN peacekeeping force, UN
Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), stationed since 1974 along the Golan
Heights border between Syria and Israel, revealed that Israel had been working
closely with Syrian opposition terrorists, including Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front
and IS in the Golan Heights, and “kept close contact over the past 18 months.”
The report was submitted to theUN Security Council. Mainstream media in the US and West
buried the explosive findings.
The UN documents
showed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were maintaining regular contact
with members of the so-called Islamic State since May of 2013. The IDF stated
that this was only for medical care for civilians, but the deception was broken
when the UNDOF observers identified direct contact between IDF forces and ISIS
soldiers, including giving medical care to ISIS fighters. Observations even
included the transfer of two crates from the IDF to ISIS forces, the contents
of which have not been confirmed. Further the UN report identified what the
Syrians label a “crossing point of forces between Israel and ISIS,” a point of
concern UNDOF brought before the UN Security Council.
The UNDOF was created
by a May, 1974 UN Security Council Resolution No. 350 in the wake of tensions
from the October 1973 Yom Kippur War between Syria and Israel. It established a
buffer zone between Israel and Syria’s Golan Heights according to the 1974
Disengagement of Forces Agreement, to be governed and policed by the Syrian
authorities. No military forces other than UNDOF are permitted within it. Today
it has 1,200 observers.
Since 2013 and the
escalation of Israeli attacks on Syria along the Golan Heights, claiming
pursuit of “Hezbollah terrorists,” the UNDOF itself has been subject to massive
attacks by ISIS or Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front terrorists in the Golan Heights
for the first time since 1974, of kidnappings, of killings, of theft of UN
weapons and ammunition, vehicles and other assets, and the looting and
destruction of facilities. Someone obviously does not want UNDOF to remain
policing the Golan Heights.
Israel
and Golan Heights Oil
In his November 9
White House meeting with US President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
asked Washington to reconsider the fact that since the 1967 Six-Days’ War
between Israel and the Arab countries, Israel has illegally occupied a
significant part of the Golan Heights. In their meeting, Netanyahu, apparently
without success, called on Obama to back formal Israeli annexation of the
illegally-occupied Golan Heights, claiming that the absence of a functioning
Syrian government “allows for different thinking” concerning the future status
of the strategicallyimportant
area.
Of course Netanyahu
did not address in any honest way how Israeli IDF and other forces had been
responsible for the absence of a functioning Syrian government by their support
for ISIS and Al Nusra Front of Al Qaeda.
In 2013, when UNDOF
began to document increasing contact between Israeli military and IS and Al
Qaeda along the Golan Heights, a little-known Newark, New Jersey oil company,
Genie Energy, with an Israeli daughter company, Afek Oil & Gas, began also
moving into Golan Heights with permission of the Netanyahu government to
explore for oil. That same year Israeli military engineers overhauled the
forty-five mile border fence with Syria, replacing it with a steel barricade
that included barbed wire, touch sensors, motion detectors, infrared cameras,
and ground radar, putting it on par with the Wall Israel has constructed in the West Bank.
Interestingly enough,
on October 8, Yuval Bartov, chief geologist from Genie Energy’s Israeli
subsidiary, Afek Oil & Gas, told Israel’s Channel 2 TV that his company had
found a major oil reservoir on the Golan Heights: “We’ve found an oil stratum
350 meters thick in the southern Golan Heights. On average worldwide, strata
are 20 to 30 meters thick, and this is 10 times as large as that, so we are
talking about significant quantities.” As I noted in an earlier article, the
International Advisory Board of Genie Energy includes such notorious names as
Dick Cheney, former CIA head and infamous neo-con James Woolsey, Jacob Lord Rothschild and others.
Of course no
reasonable person in their right mind would suggest there might be a link
between Israeli military dealings with the ISIS and other anti-Assad terrorists
in Syria, especially in the Golan Heights, and the oil find of Genie Energy in
the same place, and with Netanyahu’s latest Golan Heights “rethink” appeal to
Obama. That would smell too much like “conspiracy theory” and all reasonable
people know conspiracies don’t exist, only coincidences. Or? In fact, to
paraphrase the immortal words of Brad Pitt in the role of West Virginia First
Lieutenant Aldo Raine in the final scene of Tarantino’s brilliant film,
Inglorious Basterds, it seems that ‘Ol Netanyahu and his pecker-suckin pals in
the IDF and Mossad just got caught with their hands in a very dirty cookie jar
in Syria.
