You got that right. Recommended reading: America's Great Game: The CIA's Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East by Hugh Wilford.

This book of deep history focuses primarily on three CIA agents and their regime change efforts in three countries after WWII: Syria, Egypt and Iran. The key figure that emerges is Kermit “Kim” Roosevelt — grandson of Theodore. Roosevelt was recruited into the CIA to work in the Office of Policy Coordination, the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency.

A rather complicated chess game of competing powers in the newly formed CIA emerges — the Zionists vs. the anti-Zionists. And what a game it was. Wilford illustrates how these agent provocateurs were very short sighted in their schemes and largely viewed the indigenous populations of the Middle Eastern nations as simple pawns in a larger chess game between the Great Powers.

Kim Roosevelt, along with assistance from his cousin Archibald Roosevelt, masterminded the 1953 Iranian coup d'état which toppled nationalist prime minister Mohammed Mosaddeqh after Mosaddeqh nationalized the petroleum industry in Iran. Miles Copeland — a Birmingham Alabama native and the father of the famed rock musician Stewart — was also a CIA spook who was instrumental in shaping the Middle Eastern landscape after the end of WWII. Copeland helped orchestrate the first CIA military coup in the Arab world: the 1949 bloodless putsch by Colonel Husni al-Za’im in Syria. Archibald in turn orchestrated a second 1956 regime change operation in Syria after a violent counter-coup displaced the al-Za’im regime.

These CIA wunderkinds with blue-blood pedigrees viewed the nation states in the post-colonial era as blank slates to be shaped at will by their knowledge and intellect. Yet rather than fundamentally transform power relations in the Middle East to pro-American sentiment as promised, this spy clique of the Eastern Establishment inculcated a residual and generational resentment toward American meddling in the region that is still evident today. Whether it was braggadocio, naïveté or misplaced idealism, the failures of these nation building efforts shaped the modern Middle East that we know today.

The series of regime change operations in Syria and the ensuing instability ultimately pushed that nation closer to Moscow. The CIA’s initial backing of Egyptian General Mohamed Naguib — and his young protege General Gamal Abdel Nasser — likewise backfired when Nasser ousted his elder benefactor, turned his back on the West and nationalized the Suez Canal. As a tweak to the West, Nasser also opened diplomatic channels to the Soviet Union and supported the creation of a socialist pan-Arabic State. And of course, we all know the results of the festering resentment that finally resulted in the Iranian revolution.

Sadly, the game continues anew. The same doublespeak and false promises spew forth from the mouths of these Masters of the Universe types in our corrupt national security apparatus. Perhaps one can rule out the chaos and violent fury released upon the region after the Iraq War as an unforeseen contingency. Yet we have now seen a succession of four Middle Eastern nations — Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen — engulfed in violence and human catastrophe after US, NATO and Western military intervention. And now these Masters of the Universe want a war with Iran?

Not coincidentally, each of these repeated military interventions have been followed by a staggering refugee wave headed for Europe. Yet in the name of pluralism, Western nations are sternly lectured by many of these same ruling elites that it must open their borders to a deluge of immigrants whose values are wholly alien to pluralistic societies and must instead welcome these immigrants though they have demonstrated violent antagonism toward free societies?

At this point, naïveté can’t be blamed for these repeated failures. At this late stage, it is sheer madness to claim the situation in the Middle East is all an unforeseen accident. The pattern is established and is crystal clear for anyone who doesn’t regurgitate the p.c. platitudes of multiculturalism. The minute details and the exact coordination of the plan becomes irrelevant when the larger pattern is so clear. Chaos is indeed the goal.

Again, we can’t change the past. But must we be doomed to repeat it?

Hillary is not in office anymore, her political career is over, worry about the Putin loving fraudster in office currently.

You got that right. The same applies to our repeated forays into Somalia, Yemen, the sub-Saharan & the Horn of Africa, etc...

Since at least the end of the Cold War, one of the largest criminal conspiracies against the American people and the Constitution has been the damnable lie that American lives should be risked by inserting our nation’s troops into these ancient sectarian conflicts in distant foreign lands.

Amen brother.

Obama and Hillary funded the Arab Spring

Sorta but not really. They certainly supported it though. This is what led me to eventually end my career in intelligence. The moves made 0 sense abs made me question my life’s work.
