The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) leader met his end\u00a0\u201ccrying and screaming\u201d\u00a0in the face of the Americans\u2019 might, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But the Russian Defense Ministry insisted that\u00a0\u201cthere were legitimate questions and doubts about the very fact [of the US operation] and, especially, its success.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It also rejected Trump\u2019s claims that Russian forces opened up the airspace under its control in Syria to American planes to facilitate the operation against the IS leader.

under the protection of its troops before and after the defeat of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the region.<\/strong>Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday that \u201cthe space intelligence images showed that oil was actively extracted and massively exported for processing outside Syria, under the reliable protection of US troops, before and after the defeat of the Daesh terrorists.\u201dKonashenkov stressed that the convoys were guarded by US private military companies and special operations forces.\u201dAnd then this:<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cRussia Concerned Over US Military Returning to Northern Syria<\/h2>\n<p>Commenting on Esper\u2019s statement that some US troops will remain in north-eastern Syria, Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that the statement did not come as a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWHAT WASHINGTON DOES NOW \u2013 THE CAPTURE AND HOLDING UNDER ITS ARMED CONTROL OF OIL FIELDS IN EASTERN SYRIA IS, SIMPLY SPEAKING, INTERNATIONAL STATE BANDITISM,\u201d HE STRESSED, ADDING THAT SYRIAN OIL RESERVES AND OTHER MINERAL RESOURCES BELONG SOLELY TO THE SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC, NOT TO DAESH OR TO \u201cAMERICAN PROTECTORS FROM DAESH TERRORISTS\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that \u201cneither international law, nor the American legislation itself can justify the US

signals the US has sent regarding Syria<\/a>\u00a0may indicate Washington\u2019s desire to maintain conditions that allow for continued pressure on Damascus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWE ARE VERY DEFINITELY WORRIED THAT THE SIGNALS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE MAY REFLECT THE SAME ATTITUDE: TO PRESERVE THE CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUING MULTI-COMPONENT PRESSURE ON THE LEGITIMATE AUTHORITIES IN DAMASCUS\u201d, HE POINTED OUT, ADDING THAT \u201cTHIS IS THE MOMENT WE DON\u2019T AGREE AND WE CAN\u2019T AGREE WITH THE UNITED STATES ON THE SITUATION.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What we are actually seeing is something far more sinister.\u00a0 You see, when Iraq is pushed to a civil war, and this is what is being done right now, orchestrated out of Israeli controlled Northern Syria or as it is called, the Kurdish Regional Government in Erbil, coordinated with US forces inside Iraq and Syria, a new ISIS is being built to justify more American troops inside Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>To do this successfully, a new and more controlled US backed government must be installed over the current puppet regime and Iranian influence erased, through another fake \u201ccolor revolution\u201d as is being attempted right now.<\/p>\n<p>From there, of course, a war on Iran can be staged, Iraqi oil revenue can be stolen to finance it and ISIS can be reconstituted as the US moves ISIS leaders that it had been keeping in training camps in Kurdish regions of Syria that recently \u201cescaped\u201d into the new US controlled zone on the Syrian Iraq\u2019i border.<\/p>\n<p>Then of course, Mosul will be retaken, joined with Erbil, the MEK terror group will return to partner with ISIS and a new decade of war will ensue.<\/p>\n<p>Addendum I<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"entry-title\">Bin Laden and the Deep State, Published in

last statement to the world. It is published below, the full CIA transcript with no redactions or editing. In this now declassified but heavily suppressed document, bin Laden describes the role of the Deep State in 9\/11<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>\u201cPresident Bush or any other US President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United States?

One might note that the \u201cjet fuel\u201d fires in New York burned for months, billions of BTU\u2019s melting boots well into 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Bin Laden will explain the world today and tell the truths that warned the world of what was to come. His words are riveting.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2007, during an interview with Amy Goodman, former NATO commander, General Wesley Clark told of plans drafted by White House advisor and admitted architect of the Iraq War, Paul Wolfowitz, to invade 7 Middle Eastern nations including, not just Iraq, but Syria and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The election of Barack Obama may have offset their timetable, but in light of Clark\u2019s revelation made 11 years ago and \u201cburied\u201d, and bin Laden\u2019s transcript, published below, events today are able to be seen in a different and perhaps \u201cHitleresque\u201d light.<\/p>\n<p>From Salon, October 12, 2007:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn\u00a0<em>A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor and Country<\/em>, published by Palgrave Macmillan last month, the former four-star general recalls two visits to the Pentagon following the terrorist attacks of September 2001.

The decision has basically been made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Six weeks later, Clark returned to Washington to see the same general and inquired whether the plan to strike Iraq was still under consideration. The general\u2019s response was stunning:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201c\u2018Oh, it\u2019s worse than that,\u2019 he said, holding up a memo on his desk. \u2018Here\u2019s the paper from the Office of the Secretary of Defense [then Donald Rumsfeld] outlining the strategy.

This battle is one of Islam\u2019s immortal battles.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cWe beseech God to grant him victory against the forces of infidelity and arrogance, and to crush the new crusader-Jewish campaign on the land of Pakistan and Afghanistan.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cI have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cNeither I had any knowledge of these attacks nor I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden ever in the course of a battle.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cAll that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cWhoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the US Government has stated.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThe United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThey can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThen you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThen there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these (FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 180)\u00a0 agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usama and Taliban and then this incident happened.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cDrug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cPresident Bush or any other US President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United States? That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cSupporting the US act is the need of some Muslim countries and the compulsion of others. However, they should think as to what will remain of their religious and moral position if they support the attack of the Christians and the Jews on a Muslim country like Afghanistan.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cI have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cThis system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00a0\u201cThe Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which make us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cTerror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 END OF OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2018\/05\/24\/blockbuster-bin-laden-and-the-deep-state-published-in-russia\/bush-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-490826\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-490826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/bush-320x192.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/bush-320x192.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/bush.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The world long ago<\/strong>\u00a0accepted that the Iraq invasion of 2003 was an illegal act of aggression and that both Bush and Blair, in a \u201cperfect world,\u201d should be hanged as war criminals.<\/p>\n<p>As noted from proof provided here, bin Laden never admitted complicity in 9\/11, though audio tapes provided time and time again by Israeli intelligence asserted as much.<\/p>\n<p>Were those tapes an admission by Israel, if seen in light of what we know of \u201cfake news\u201d today, of their role in 9\/11?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was 9\/11 staged to bring down, as General Clark may well be asserting, a way of pushing forward a master plan to take down Iraq, Syria, Iran and four other nations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Has America, now that Israeli policy and neocon politics are predominant, moved back to the same direction, to conquest of Israel\u2019s neighbors?<\/p>\n<p>How do bin Laden\u2019s words play so long after what we assert was the date of his real death?<\/p>\n<p>In light of his September 24, 2001 statement, is it perhaps obvious why a fake bin Laden, vilified by the equally fake media, was needed to push the wars that never seem to end?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gordon Duff is a Marine combat veteran of the Vietnam War that has worked on veterans and POW issues for decades and consulted with governments challenged by security issues.
