Chechnya Jihadist Movement and Its Pervasive Links to US Intelligence

Judy Morris writes:

The issue of the Boston Bombers isn't so much about radical Islam as it is about the evil US-Saudi alliance to spread radical Sunni Salafist Wahhabism as far and wide as possible.  In fact, Soviet Muslims were not radical at all but with the break-up of the Soviet Union and all the instability that ensured post break-up, the US and the Saudis wasted no time in funding, training and arming violent Sunni jihad warriors.  This is nothing new and the US and Saudis have a long history of jointly working together to create and spread radicalized Sunni Islam.  At least since the days of Jimmy Carter, the US, the CIA and the Saudis have worked together to breed Sunni jihadists and Carter intervened in Afghanistan to arm and fund the Afghan Mujuhadeen, now the Taliban.

There can be no doubt that during the break-up of the Soviet Union that the US, the CIA and the Saudis flooded former Russian territories with money, radical mosques and jihad clerics.

In light of the Boston Bombing, Global Research is providing incredible documentation and background on this issue.

BOSTON TRUTH: The “Chechen Connection”, Al Qaeda and the Boston Marathon Bombings

The Creation of A New Legend: “The Chechen Connection”

A new legend is unfolding: “The Chechen Connection” is threatening America. Islamism homegrown in the Russian Federation is now being “exported to America”.

Plastered on news tabloids across the United States, the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings on Patriots’ Day are relentlessly compared to September 11, 2001.

According to the Council of Foreign Relations:

Law enforcement agencies at all levels have made advances in surveillance and policing since the September 11, 2001 attacks, but security risks persist. Many counterterrorism experts call for a renewed focus on the ability of the United States to weather and recover from such incidents…

According to the powerful Council of Foreign Relations (which exerts a pervasive influence on both the White House and the State Department), the Boston bombings once again “raise the specter of terrorism on U.S. soil, highlighting the vulnerabilities of a free and open society”....

Counter terrorism and Martial Law –implying the suspension of civil liberties– rather than civilian law enforcement are the proposed solutions....

“The Chechen Connection” has become embedded in a new media consensus. The American Homeland is potentially threatened by Muslim terrorists from the Russian Federation, who have links to Al Qaeda.

In addition to discussing the draconian assaults on US civil liberties and invoking a revival of the War on Terror to terrorize Americans into relinquishing their civil liberties through a significantly strengthened totalitarian American militarized police state, there is far more than totalitarian political expediency at work here.  The Global Research issues documents the history of US involvement with the Saudis.

Al Qaeda and the CIA

The American public is misled. The media reports carefully overlook the historical origins of the Chechnya jihadist movement and its pervasive links to US intelligence.

The fact of the matter is that the jihadist movement is a creation of US intelligence, which has also led to the development of “political Islam”. While the role of the CIA in support of the Islamic jihad (including most Al Qaeda affiliated organizations) is amply documented, there is also evidence that the FBI has covertly equipped and incited would be terrorists within the US.....

The CIA’s agenda starting in the late 1970s was to recruit and train jihadist “freedom fighters” (Mujahideen) to wage “a war of liberation” directed against the pro-Soviet secular government of Afghanistan.

The CIA, frequently dubbed Cocaine Import Agency, here, has also been dubbed the private military of the New World Order that seeks global UN governance through the totalitarian marriage of big business and big government.  The CIA jumps into action whenever some corporation is lusting for a natural resource to exploit/steal or some psychopathic politico starts screaming 'regime change' which in America happens just about every day. 

Ronald Reagan even entertained the Afghan Mujuhadeen at the White House.

The Global Research article goes on:

The “Islamic Jihad” (or holy war against the Soviets) became an integral part of the CIA’s intelligence ploy. It was supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia, with a significant part of the funding generated from the Golden Crescent drug trade:

“In March 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 166 … [which] authorize[d] stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen, and it made clear that the secret Afghan war had a new goal: to defeat Soviet troops in Afghanistan through covert action and encourage a Soviet withdrawal. The new covert U.S. assistance began with a dramatic increase in arms supplies — a steady rise to 65,000 tons annually by 1987 … as well as a “ceaseless stream” of CIA and Pentagon specialists who travelled to the secret headquarters of Pakistan’s ISI on the main road near Rawalpindi, Pakistan. There, the CIA specialists met with Pakistani intelligence officers to help plan operations for the Afghan rebels.”(Steve Coll, The Washington Post, July 19, 1992.)
