> the u.s. supports these terrorist groups as well. yes, i know. the cia propped up al qaeda. osama bin laden didn't even call his organization al qaeda. that's just the term the cia used to designate various anti-soviet jihadist groups it was funding and supplying during the afghan-soviet war. it would be naive to think that the cia suddenly stopped using an asset like that. the cia still has connections to the mafia since world war two, when its predecessor organization, the oss, sent lucky luciano's cronies into italy to undermine mussolini (operation husky), and then kept them there after the war to commit acts of terrorism under operation gladio. the cia is best thought of as a liaison between the oligarchs and various organized crime networks and terrorist groups who will do their dirty work: assassinations, proxy wars, false-flag attacks, etc. wanna get rid of a nosy journalist or troublesome witness or perhaps start a war? talk to your servants in the cia or mossad. they'll set it up for you. easy peasy.
