“Wolves of the Valley” Daring Video by Aris Roussinos of Vice News = front-line in the conflict between ISIS and SRF fighters.

Video = Leading SRF fighters (SAUDI FUNDED) gives “a message” to Muslims in the West emphasizing = NO MORE new fighters + WE NEED weapons + Equipment and training materials = US Weapons training program in Turkey and Qatar = GET WEAPONS AFTER TRAINING for “fighting Da’ash” rather that for fighting the regime.

Tactics of ISIS AQ = Renounced as un-Islamic by the SRF = Practices of decapitation + Extracting jizya from Christians. = SRF self-market as “moderates” = Denigrate them as Shiites “who have nothing to do with Islam.”

AQ CONTRACTORS = CONTINUOUSLY TARGETS SHIITES WITH VIOLENCE = Willing to kill those who are “this” or “that.” = Rebel enemies of ISIS AQ are more influenced than they’d like to admit by the intolerant outlook of al-Qaida itself.

ISIS AQ Prisoners held by SRF Forced to view a video of mass execution of civilians performed by ISIS AQ

1st Lattakia offensive in August = Led up to war between ISIS AQ and other groups

Masterminded by AQ CONTRACTORS with FSA joining up afterwords = SRF commander to captured ISIS: “Why did [ISIS] choose that time to invade? You know why? Because Abu Ayman al-Iraqi was suppose to be presented to a shari’a court for killing Abu Bassir, and he asked for 3 days after which ‘under shari’a I will surrender myself.’ So he started this battle to divert attention and people lost martyrs; we lost 230 martyrs in this failed battle you’re talking about and we suffered 300 injuries and everybody had to focus on themselves.”

ISIS AQ CONTRACTOR admits that Abu Ayman al-Iraqi killed Abu Bassir without cause, and also that he doesn’t understand why they killed Abu Khaled al-Suri.

So SRF fighters blame ISIS AQ CONTRACTORS for starting a battle that FSA fighters felt obligated to join, but which ultimately failed and resulted in heavy losses + Accuse ISIS AQ CONTRACTORS of starting the 1st Lattakia offensive to distraction from ISIS AQ killing of Abu Bassir, an FSA field commander.

BUSH IRAQ FAILURE = IRAQ AQ CONTRACTOR SUCCESS “The former Iraqi branch of AQ has now superseded OBL’s network to become the more important driving force behind the (AQ CONTRACTORS) in its current guise.” = Levant = ISIL = ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

END OF OLD AQ = May 2011 OBL ENDED = Now OBL ’s successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri leads a complex of overlapping “franchises” that together make up the core of a global jihadi movement. = Forget about Zawahiri

7,000 = UN estimate of number of foreign fighters in Syria = Recruiters roam the Turkish borders to catch inexperienced volunteers and use them as cannon fodder for their global propaganda and suicide attacks.

Foreign recruits = Not placed in ISIL’s fighting force in Syria = Instead, they magnify the international outreach of Baghdadi’s networks. The Sinai-based AQ faction known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis are most active in Egypt = Endorsed ISIL

Before Iraq election, Shi’ite militias unleashed in war on Sunni insurgents

“There were men in civilian clothes on motorcycles shouting ‘Ali is on your side’,” one man said, referring to a key figure in Shi’ite tradition. “People started fleeing their homes, leaving behind the elders and young men and those who refused to leave. The militias then stormed the houses. They pulled out the young men and summarily executed them.” …

ARAB SPRING = 4 years old = Peoples’ revolutions actually empowered forces of extreme repression and violence. West LOVES western backed dictators. = PNAC document neocon think tank PLAN = US foreign policy of Empire Building = Destabilize a GOV + install Puppet Leader + Plunder natural resources + Enslave people with austerity and debt = Vicious, aggressive foreign policy = NO PEACE

ARAB SPRING = SPRINGLESS FOR FREEDOM OF ALL PEOPLE = EXTERMINATION OF MUSLIM OPPOSITION BY US BACKED MINORITIES OR MAJORITIES DEPENDING ON THE NATION!

SYRIA = SHIITE MAJORITY TRYING TO DESTROY ALAWITE MINORITY

SYRIA = Food = A primary weapon in war

Joshua Landis = US playing “a mischievous role” = Supporting AQ CONTRACTORS

Landis: Assad “But he (Assad) didn’t (drag his feet on Chem Weapons)….Obviously in this case he decided it was better to work with the Americans.”

Landis: “Nobody in the West wants to take responsibility for Syria.”

Joshua Landis = Director of the center for Middle East studies at Univ of Oklahoma + A senior Fulbright Scholar

Hisham Melhem, the Washington bureau chief for the Al-Arabiya News Network.

US Lead Foreign Community = Assurances Every time made — quote, unquote — we have seen intensification of fighting.

Russians are friends of Syrians + Chinese + Iranians.

65% Sunni Muslims in Syria
12% Alawites – lead military with president = Military = Very strong and professional

Sunni in Power = a win for America? = Pro-Saudi Arabia + Anti-Iran

Money + ARMS going to AQ CONTRACTORS in Syria = $3 Billion QATAR + SAUDIS

Arab diplomats say = Weapons and money are pouring in

Saudi Arabia + US = Willing to arm AQ CONTRACTORS
