Hypocrite Wars, Cowardly Attacks, Truths That Hurt

Being swayed by the comments of some «professionals» of journalism that talk without knowledge of the facts, not only helps create greater uncertainty but also leads to an irrational hatred that should not exist. We speak of terrorists who thirty years ago, during the war in Afghanistan, were allies of the West. We speak of a business that is worth billions of dollars a year, of oil and power, of geostrategic positioning and above all, we speak of something that was not born by mere chance. ISIS was born after the occupation of Iraq, (the famous preventive wars, in which weapons of mass destruction were to be found and are yet to be found). When the U.S. reorganized the Iraqi armed forces, the can of worms was opened and the conflicts in Syria aided their development, reaching countries such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, allies of the West, which also helped so ISIS could receive financial funds. It’s no secret that Erdogan (Turkey) facilitates the transit of trucks crossing the border loaded with oil from Syria (the Syrian areas controlled by ISIS). When AFP reported the arrest of a commander of the Islamic State called Yusuf Al Salafi, and two other scientists in Lahore, Pakistan, what this character had to say would be silenced by the media: ISIS is financed by the business generated by the oil and weapons sales via the West. The Pakistani website The Express Tribune reports that Al Salafi confessed having paid $600 for young recruits to go to fight in Syria, and that some of that money came via the United States. Al Salafi is a Syrian-Pakistani, who arrived to Lahore through Turkey to establish a cell of the terrorist organization in Pakistan, where local media say that ISIS street graffiti and flags are more and more visible in Lahore and Multan. And now the West thinks only about continuing to bomb.

At this point whom should we believe, and what should we believe?
