How CIA and MI6 Created ISIS

So it was that the CIA and MI6 began supporting Sunni “nationalist jihadists” throughout West Asia. The next year, Bashar Assad rejected a Qatari proposal to route Doha’s vast gas reserves directly to Europe.... As extensively documented in WikiLeaks-released diplomatic cables, US, Israeli and Saudi intelligence immediately decided to overthrow Assad by fomenting a local Sunni rebellion, and started financing opposition groups for the purpose.
This effort became turbocharged in October 2011, with MI6 redirecting weapons and extremist fighters from Libya to Syria... The CIA oversaw that operation, using British intelligence as an arm’s length cutout to avoid notifying Congress of its machinations. Only in June 2013, did the Agency’s cloak-and-dagger connivances in Damascus become formalized - and later admitted - under the name “Timber Sycamore”.

At this time, Western officials universally referred to their Syrian proxies as “moderate rebels”. Yet, Washington was well-aware its surrogates were dangerous extremists, seeking to carve a fundamentalist caliphate out of the territory they occupied.

These factions included Al Qaeda’s Iraqi wing (AQI), and its umbrella offshoot, Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The pair went on to form ISIS, a prospect the DIA report not only predicted, but seemingly endorsed

Another interesting note in the article is that the current iteration of ISIS is currently at odds with China, Iran, and Russia. They're essentially a dark-money mercenary group at the service of the US, Israel or Saudi Arabia.

The halls of Langley, Virginia house the most evil group of human beings on this earth.

This has been long known. That was the American state-run media narrative c. 2014.
When our involvement in the Syrian Civil War heated up it was Glenn Beck of all people who outed how the "moderate rebels" we were funding and arming were actually violent extremists.
This is the title of an article from January 2015. It was a "conspiracy" that something like ISIS could exist.

This Glenn Beck conspiracy theory could shut down the D.C. Beltway

"I personally am calling to impeach the president of the United States," an emphatic Glenn Beck said three weeks ago on his radio show. Beck's charge against Obama? The purported arming of al Qaeda–linked terrorists in Syria.

Yeah, a lot of this has been known or theorized about for many years. None of it is surprising, but this article has apparently picked up steam on FB recently and the posting of it was subsequently banned.
I think it's important that people understand the absolute mess that we've created in the ME when considering our further involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

When it became public that USA created AQ/bin laden, there is no plausible deniability for USA and cohorts.

Yeah, this was nothing new. I think there was a general who had said that we created ISIS.
This is an old British SOP. They did it in Palestine before WWII with the Palestinians....attempted it even with the Zionists at the time. Create or support a wedge group to keep the locals more interested in fighting each other as to spend less time focusing on British stuff. Worked great as well for the British Raj in India

Our record of meddling in international affairs is almost perfect. Perfect, in that we frick things up almost 100% of the time and leave every situation worse than it was when we found it.
This isn’t new. It stretches back to the beginning of the Cold War.
