CIA cuts off salaries to 8,000 Syrian mercenaries
 

With so much attention directed at the Congressional report on CIA torture, many people will have missed the important story about complaints this week made by US employed thugs in Syria who are outraged that the CIA has suddenly stopped paying their salaries and suspended arms deliveries to them.

Naturally, Empire media outlets portray these thugs as being part of the "moderate opposition," but have nevertheless let slip the fact that with their CIA stipend of $150 a month being cut off, already "as many as 800 to 1,000 fighters from US-vetted rebel groups already have joined Nusra."

This fact, along with further claims that the 8,000 affected thugs will end up joining al- Nusra Front or ISIL in order "to feed their families" speaks volumes about just how moderate they are and about what the true underlying motives of many ISIL and al-Nusra thugs.

According to a report by McClatchy DC, (a brand operated by the publicly traded McClatchy Company newspaper and media group) 8,000 of the estimated 10,000 fighters in Syria?s Idlib and Hama provinces are affected by the cut off in funding, adding that "Commanders said CIA operatives told them the cutoff was the US response to the Nusra gains, which have included the seizure of US-supplied weapons from moderate rebel forces in recent weeks."

Continued PressTV - CIA cuts off salaries to 8,000 Syrian mercenaries

A friendly suggestion:

1. Post major news sources - I know, I know, media control, etc, but for your more moderate stories, such as this, it would lend verisimilitude. Perhaps the least "out there" media outlet that can be found for a specific story

2. Consolidate your theories. Lizard men? No. CIA is a rogue agency that has too much power and money? 40% agree with you.

Note I am not being confrontational, so an unreasoned response will mark you out as a stereotypical "raving conspiracy theorist".

By the way PressTV is a major news source :2 cents:

You don't think that fits? hahaha

I was actually wondering if he is just interested in disinformation to the point that no one cares about anything.

Ya, and there is no possibility of them being biased at all.

Press TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You just like them because you support Iran's goal of destroying Israel.




.

Perhaps. I would say it is a "C" player at best. In that case, another "C" player would help. I'm doing a google search now to try to verify this. What I'm finding is articles on "unhivedmind" and "smoloko".

That's why I counsel him in a non-patronizing way to consolidate his views and provide more serious proof. One well reasoned argument can do more than 1000 "throw it at the wall and see if it sticks" attempts.

PressTV have a strong record, it's one of the first places you'll hear stuff before it spreads elsewhere :2 cents:

Rebels in northern Syria say U.S. has stopped paying them

?When you fight, they offer $150 a day. Then everything else is free,? he said. ?Even the shopkeepers give you free products out of fear.?

Chuck Hagel (September, defense.gov) "The best counterweights to ISIL are local forces and the people of the area. And, as you know, in June, the President asked Congress for the necessary authority for DOD to train and equip moderate Syrian opposition forces and $500 million to fund this program.

We have now secured support from Saudi Arabia to host the training program for this mission and Saudi Arabia has offered financial and other support, as well.

The $500 million request the President made in June for this train-and-equip program reflects CENTCOM's estimate of the cost to train, equip and resupply more than 5,000 opposition forces over one year. The package of assistance that we initially provide would consist of small arms, vehicles and basic equipment like communications as well as tactical and strategic training. As these forces prove their effectiveness on the battlefield, we would be prepared to provide increasingly sophisticated types of assistance to the most trusted commanders and capable forces."

They flunked out of Rectal Feeding 101 :upsidedow

The CIA was offshoring their work ...:(

No, israel is doing just fine imploding all by itself

Cool word - I might have to borrow it.....

So a Iranian State Sponsored News Channel is now a top tier, reliable, unbiased source for news about the US.

WHP you really should think about leaving the US for these much better countries.

they risk life for 150$/m?!?

Noo, does that mean that I have to get a real job?

It's an OK wage for someone in their 20s in Syria, especially if you don't have to pay in shops :2 cents:

Your own media feeds you social engineering and 'official story' rather than real news, the real news is most likely to come from those not controlled by the Global Bankers.

The facts are more important than wherever I happen to live, one shouldn't feel they have to loyally stand by their own leaders, otherwise you're no better than a football fan. The German people stood by their NAZI leaders.

anyway, if it's the truth we will the effect in the battlefield.

Must agree that no one should trust their own "news" always good to check against the opposition, the dissident voices and foreign broadcasters.

I agree also but I am not putting any faith in a state sponsored news agency that has a great deal of bias toward whom they are reporting on. This includes the US press.

There are 3 sides to every story, both sides and the truth that lies between them.

Fucking CIA, and right before Christmas.

I'm in Mountainair, New Mexico, on a ranch 5 miles from a paved road.

Was out of breath all day, felt like shit, no one told me it was 6500 ft. lol.

Tomorrow will be better.

edit; In hind site I guess the places name could have been a clue ....

The air gets a little thin up there. My old lungs can't do those abrupt changes any more.

Be safe and don't over do it for a couple days.

Bourbon and a comfy chair on a open air porch would be my plan.
