Syria Reclaims ISIS Camp: US Media Forgets How ISIS Got There In The First Place
📰 THE STORY: ABC News reports that the Syrian government has taken control of the al-Hol camp, which houses tens of thousands of people linked to the Islamic State group, signaling a shift in managing the humanitarian and security crisis in northeast Syria. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The mainstream narrative rarely connects the dots back to the 2011 US-backed 'regime
change' operations in Syria, which funnelled arms and support to various 'rebel' groups, including extremist elements like al-Qaeda affiliates and, eventually, ISIS. As early as 2012, a US Defense Intelligence Agency report warned that the emergence of an 'Islamic State' in eastern Syria was a desired outcome for 'supporting powers' attempting to isolate the Assad government. The US spent billions
supporting this destabilization. Double Standard: The media frames the Syrian government's actions as a hostile takeover or a security concern, while conveniently ignoring the fact that Western powers, particularly the US, maintain an illegal military presence in Syria (occupying oil fields, no less) and have actively prolonged the conflict, indirectly maintaining the conditions for groups like
ISIS to thrive. When the US or its allies 'take control' of problematic areas, it's 'counter-terrorism'; when Syria does it, it's 'authoritarian overreach.' Follow the Money: The 'Syrian Civil War' created a goldmine for the military-industrial complex. US defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon saw massive profits from the billions in arms sales and 'aid' that flooded the region.
