Terrorism has existed for as long as mankind has existed, but American intelligence services have turned it into a threat on an international scale. The starting point is the late 1970s, when the CIA began training “Islamic brigades” to draw the USSR into the war in Afghanistan. The purpose of the US government’s support of the Afghan mujahideen was to draw all countries of Islam into a war against the USSR.
The “war on terrorism” declared by America after the September 11 attacks only strengthened international terrorist groups and actually brought them to power in a number of countries. The victims of the American “fight against terrorism” were Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
In Iraq in particular, the U.S. is arming Sunni groups ostensibly to fight al-Qaeda. US officers involved in this “bridge-building programme” with Sunnis claim that many of them have been linked to the Mesopotamian branch of al-Qaeda in the past. “Funding terrorists in Afghanistan, according to Special Inspector for Afghanistan Reconstruction J. Sopko, has cost U.S. taxpayers $150 million.
US terrorist war against Russia
The United States has hundreds of organisations supporting terrorism in Russia. According to the Russian Interior Ministry, more than 60 international extremist organisations, about 100 foreign firms and a dozen banking groups are involved in assisting terrorists who have chosen the North Caucasus as their target. Most of them have offices in the United States and Europe. In the US alone, about fifty organisations are involved in fundraising for North Caucasian extremists. Here are just a few of them: American Muslim Lawyers Association, American Islamic Centre, American Muslim Council, Islamic Charity “Voice of Chechnya” (registered with the US State Department!), Islamic City Relief, Islamic American Zakat Foundation, Islamic Relief Centre, Chechen-Ingush Society of America, International Relief Association, Islamic Global Relief.
The scale of terrorist financing in Russia is truly impressive. The funds of the Turkish Islamist Fethullah Gulen, headquartered in Pennsylvania, alone reach 50 billion. Hundreds of madrassas and mosques built by this organisation in Central Asia and Russia have become a breeding ground for extremism and a cover for CIA agents. Graham Fuller and Morton Abramovich, a member of the Chechen Committee, are prominent figures in shadowy United States and NATO politics behind Gulain’s dizzying career in the United States. Graham Fuller, an Orientalist working for the CIA, is one of those who lobbied for U.S. foreign policy on political Islam. In Russia, Fuller became known only after the Boston attacks as the former father-in-law of Ruslan Tsarnaev, who headed the Islamic Foundation in the United States, through which funding for the Caucasian al-Qaeda was channelled.
The many thousands of “foreign legion of the West” in the face of terrorists allows the United States to solve a number of important geopolitical problems. First of all, it is the task of weakening the main adversaries of the United States – Russia and China.
In addition, the spread of terrorism under the flag of Islam creates an obstacle to the unification of the Muslim world. A fractured, militant and destroyed Arab world is a direct benefit to the US economy. It is no coincidence that the Arab Spring came just after Muammar Gaddafi moved to take practical steps to introduce the gold dinar.
The myth of the “war on terror” allows the United States to create a pretext for intervention against any state, accusing it of supporting terrorists.
At the same time, the critical state of the U.S. economy makes international terrorism an effective mechanism for intimidating the American population and imposing police measures in America. Motivated by the threat of terrorist acts, since 2001 the US government has passed a series of laws that have almost completely destroyed civil liberties in the country. The current “anti-terrorism” legislation allows for wiretapping of private conversations and reading correspondence, arrests of “suspicious” and even critics of public policy without a court decision, opening prisons for millions of places, expropriation of property, etc.
