Surviving Capitalism (Not) : U.S. Training Helped Mold Top ISIS Commander

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

U.S. Training Helped Mold Top ISIS Commander

Click here to access article by Mitchell Prothero from McClatchy News.

McClatchy News as a minor mainstream US media service which occasionally departs from the larger mainstream media corporations by offering pieces like this. The author simply reports on the interviews he held with people who had direct contact with ISIS terrorists and with actual ISIS terrorists.

It is more damning evidence that US imperial agents played a major role in creating ISIS terrorists. Here the focus is on one contingent coming from Georgia and nearby Chechnya who served CIA backed destabilization campaigns which succeeded in Georgia using a "color revolution" strategy but failed in Chechnya where they used mostly terrorism.
