Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid, .. But Send Me Your Money!
It’s dangerous out there. US trained and Saudi funded Wahhabi terrorists are lurking in the shadows, according to John Kelly, Trump’s boss over at the Department of Homeland Security and the former commander of United States Southern Command.
“I was telling [Fox host] Steve [Doocy] on the way in here, if he knew what I knew about terrorism, he’d never leave the house in the morning,” Kelly said on Fox & Friends, according to The Hill.
Kelly said terrorism is “everywhere. It’s constant. It’s nonstop. The good news for us in America is we have amazing people protecting us every day. But it can happen here almost anytime.”
Here’s what Kelly didn’t tell you: the number of Americans who died worldwide in terrorist attacks in 2015 was eight while the minimum number who died after being struck by lightning was 29.
In 2009, nearly half a million Americans died from heart disease, while cancer killed 575,339, and chronic respiratory disease claimed 143,382 lives, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
“The chances of being killed in a terrorist attack are about 1 in 20 million. A person is as likely to be killed by his or her own furniture, and more likely to die in a car accident, drown in a bathtub, or in a building fire than from a terrorist attack,” notes this life insurance website.
Maybe Kelly should warn Americans about the danger of driving cars or the hazard posed by sofas, but that wouldn’t feed into the terror narrative which is primarily a scare tactic to get Americans to support bombing foreign lands, which in turn creates terrorists like Salman Abedi, who killed people because he was upset about Syrian and Libyan Muslims slaughtered by the Trump and his rehashed coalition of the willing.
Kelly’s remarks remind me of Ice-T’s “Shut Up, Be Happy,” narrated by Jello Biafra.
As Western nations are being told to brace for more terror attacks like Manchester, mainstream media continues to simplify the narrative for public consumption, hoping that the general public will believe this is just a simple struggle between good and evil, black and white, right and wrong. There are some, however, who are telling the whole story.
Hawaii State Representative, Tulsi Gabbard, has been working to expose the truth and strike the roots of international terror. After actually traveling to Syria she introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, which acknowledges that ISIS and other terror organizations would not exist without our financial and material support. Now she has condemned Trump’s recent arms deal with Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s most egregious human rights violators.
President Trump, who during his campaign said he would hold Saudi Arabia accountable for 9/11 and would put them in their place, just signed the largest arms deal ever, promising to outfit the House of Saud with some $350 billion worth of arms over the next decade.
The agreement included an arms deal; almost $110 billion worth of defense capabilities, the White House reports. “This package of defense equipment and services supports the long-term security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of malign Iranian influence and Iranian related threats,” wrote the Trump administration officials.
The deal was signed during President Trump’s meeting today in Saudi Arabia with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud, Crown Prince Mohamed bin Nayef, and Deputy Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman. It is the first foreign trip of the Trump presidency. [Source]
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s comments regarding this development are so far the only remarks from a U.S. Congressperson which actually honor the truth in how turmoil in the Middle East is perpetuated by Western governments, especially through arms deals.
Gabbard, a Democrat, blasted the deal – which she said includes an additional $350 billion over the next 10 years – saying Saudi Arabia is “a country with a devastating record of human rights violations at home and abroad, and a long history of providing support to terrorist organizations that threaten the American people.”
“Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest sponsor and propagator of the extremist Wahhabi Salafist ideology that fuels terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda,” a media release from Rep. Gabbard stated. “Based on Saudi Arabia’s history and track record, there is a significant likelihood these weapons will be used against innocent civilians or end up in the hands of terrorist groups.”
“Saudi Arabia has spent hundreds of billions of dollars spreading their extreme Wahhabi Salafist ideology around the world, creating fertile ground for terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaeda to recruit, while simultaneously providing direct support to terrorist groups who pose a direct threat to US interests and who are fighting to overthrow the Syrian government. The hypocrisy in the Trump administration’s actions toward Saudi Arabia began in February 2017 with the newly-appointed CIA Director Mike Pompeo presenting Saudi Crown Prince bin Nayef with the George Tenet Award in recognition of Prince bin Nayef’s ‘excellent intelligence performance, in the domain of counter-terrorism and his unbound contribution to realise world security and peace.’ This hypocrisy continues now as the Trump administration talks tough against ISIS and terrorism, while selling weapons to, supporting, and praising a country that beheads dissidents, oppresses women, persecutes religious minorities, atheists, and LGBT people, and is the greatest supporter of terror groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS in the world today. This arms deal will enable Saudi Arabia to use U.S.-made weapons in their war crimes against Yemeni civilians in a brutal civil war, and continue perpetuating human rights atrocities at home and abroad,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
The arms deal runs contrary proposed bipartisan legislation supported by Gabbard: H.R. 608, the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, which Gabbard says “would prohibit any Federal agency from using taxpayer dollars to provide weapons, cash, intelligence, or any support to armed militants who are allied with al-Qaeda, ISIS and other terrorist groups, and it will prohibit the U.S. government from funneling money and weapons through other countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar who are directly or indirectly supporting terrorists.”
Gabbard says she recently sent a letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis “urging an end to the United States’ military participation in Yemen’s civil war, where 19 million people need emergency support and which has never been authorized by Congress, and calling for a Congressional briefing on the White House’s strategy in Yemen.” [Source]
Final Thoughts
As ISIS takes credit for bombings like we just witnessed in Manchester, it is critical that we connect the dots on this international terror organization; and Gabbard’s comments remind us that these organizations are the result of our actions in the Middle East which continually inflame the region by supplying weapons and finances. Even President El-Sisi of Egypt recently called out Trump and King Salman of Saudi Arabia for aiding and abetting ISIS.
