Lafarge on Trial: The Corporate-Terrorism Link Mainstream Media Misses
French cement titan Lafarge faces trial for 'funding terrorism' by paying ISIS in Syria. A seemingly shocking revelation, until one remembers that the US, its allies, and their corporate partners have a long, storied history of cozying up to (or outright creating) groups later deemed 'terrorists' when geopolitics shift. This isn't just about Lafarge; it's about the systemic extraction of resources
enabled by destabilization, where 'terrorists' are just another business expense. While Al-Monitor focuses on the legal proceedings, they manage to gloss over the Western intelligence agencies' own alleged roles in the 'moderate rebel' pipeline that often ended up arming groups like ISIS. It appears only corporations get prosecuted for these transactions, not the governments who paved the way. One
might ask: was Lafarge out of line, or just playing the same dirty game their governments perfected?
