Whose Side Are You On?

• Last year, U.S. forces backed Islamist extremist factions -- linked to al Qaeda -- and destabilized Libya to overthrew Muammar Qaddafi. (Al Qaeda Members' Role in Libyan Command)
• On 9/11, the al Qaeda-backed faction directed the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. They killed the ambassador. (Al Qaeda's Libya Vengeance Plot)
• So, now the U.S. military is hunting them down (Drones May Play a Role in Hunting Down . . .)
• But the U.S. also backs the al Qaeda efforts to overthrow Assad in Syria (Al Qaeda Leader Urges Support) (Obama Authorizes Secret U.S. Support for Syrian Rebels)
• It's okay, because before we were for them, we were against them . . .
• But before that, we were for them . . . 
• But before that . . . . 

Anyone else getting a headache? This foolishness has gone on through Republican and Democratic administrations. 

Al Qaeda first came about as a project of the CIA. Some observers think that the spooks have never relinquished control. They used the terrorist organization to further their aims in Bosnia and Kosovo (See here). 

QUESTION: "Who benefits from all this?" ANSWER: The factions among the Establishment who entertain a globalist vision: the New World Order.

QUESTION REPHRASED: "Who profits every time our military fires a round, drops a bomb or launches a new plane?" ANSWER: The military industrial complex along with the financiers tied to it. In his farewell address, President Eisenhower warned America of the dangers inherent in its existence.

Evangelicals tend to back the U.S. military unquestioningly. They do not seem to understand that you can hold our troops in high esteem even if you do not support the insanely reckless policies that put them in harm's way.

Christian Warriors risk this attitude, as well. We have a natural affinity for the warriors who represent our nation overseas. We loathe the idea that honorable men and women could be tools of a profit-seeking internationalist elite. 

No matter how hideous we find that concept, however, we must face the fact that, at its highest levels, military policy and deployment intertwines with the program and goals of those who seek undo our faith and merge us into a global humanist dictatorship.

The bottom line is this: If you uncritically support American troop deployment overseas, you will find yourself in support of terrorist organizations like al Qaeda more often than you might like to think.
