While the West claims it has been handing over hundreds of millions to "moderates" in Syria, it has offered no plausible explanation as to who is providing ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates with even more resources enabling the extremists to displace these "moderates." There is no other explanation besides the fact that there were never any moderates to begin with and that the US, UK, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even Israel, have from the beginning, intentionally created a mercenary army composed of Al Qaeda extremists of unprecedented dimensions and capabilities." "Now, as the US feigns concern for religious minorities being slaughtered in front of the eyes of the world, it should be remembered that this conflict was engineered, set in motion, and perpetuated intentionally by the West for at least the last 7 years. The West knew the sectarian genocide now unfolding in Syria, Iraq, and soon in Lebanon was the inevitable result of their efforts to raise this regional mercenary force." Interesting.

I believe they are being funded and promoted as a bogey-man to justify military action, like I said, WMD2. Or is Krymsky biased too?

As Nodin wrote earlier, it is impossible to argue with them - irrespective how outlandish the theory. In my experience, they don't want to listen to a reasonable argument - they will refuse to accept a logical, rational explanation (that's just being 'naive'). Most of it seems to be focused on the USA. If the Americans were 10% as strategic and devious as these guy think, they would not have stumbled from foreign crisis to foreign crisis in the last 15 years. Alas, the truth is much more prosaic - they tend to be reactive, naive and slow footed when it comes to international affairs.

There are armed and dangerous people in this world who call themselves Muslims who are not true Muslim believers at all, but rather are nothing more than barbarians. The Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria is just such a klavern. If the trove of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of secret cables and messages from the files of the U.S. National Security Agency which were leaked to the website Wikileaks by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden are to be believed – and why shouldn’t they be believed? The U.S. is shape-shifting its security apparatus at this very minute from top to bottom, because its fiendish methods were exposed by the leaks of that patriotic whistleblower – then the Boko Haram are a creation of the CIA. It seems that as far back as 2009, even before the U.S. overthrew the lawful government of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya, then stole his vast arsenal and spread those modern weapons to fighters all over Northern Africa; it seems that as far back as 2009 CIA documents were referring to the Boko Haram, even before they committed their first acts of lunacy. Then they burst onto the scene, almost succeeding in overthrowing the government of Mali.

BUT the American Gov is apparently GIVING these arms to the warring factions. (according to our conspiracy theory friends - this is what we have been told) Maybe, it would be easier for the American Gov to just give the money direct to the Arms manufactures - cutting out the middle man (jihadists bent on the destruction of the USA).. I am a genius.
