"The U.S. approach to ISIS would be better understood when it is viewed in the context of its overall objectives in the region—and beyond. That overriding objective, shared and reinforced by its client states, is to undermine or eliminate “the axis of resistance,” consisting of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and, to a lesser extent, Shia forces in Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Achievement of this goal would also be achievement of another, even broader, goal: undermining Russia’s influence and alliances in the region and, by extension, in other parts of the world—for example, its critically important role within both the Shanghai Cooperation Council (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) and the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
To intervene in order to achieve these goals, the U.S. and its allies need pretexts and/or enemies—even if it means inventing or manufacturing such enemies. Without ISIS, resumption of U.S. military operations in Iraq and extension of those operations into Syria would have been difficult to justify to the American people. A year or so ago, the Obama administration’s drive to attack Syria was thwarted by the opposition from the American people and, therefore, the U.S. congress. The rise of ISIS quickly turned that opposition to support.
Viewed in this light, ISIS can be seen as essentially another (newly manufactured) instrument in the tool-box of U.S. foreign policy....

"ISIS Psyop Final Phase - Prolonging the Existence of ISIS
by Bernie Suarez
Activist Post
Those of us who are truth seekers marching through life with an everyday understanding of longstanding government false flag operations, corruption, stated global plans and strategies, live in a much easier and clearer world than our counterpart brainwashed, naive, TV and mainstream media-indoctrinated zombies.
Yes, at this point in history, given the information age and the broad worldwide awakening to the new world order plans, we can now definitively declare not only the manifestation of our conscious existence but concomitantly we can pinpoint the manifestation of those who are the exact opposite of who we are; that is, those who are asleep in the matrix and believe mainstream media propaganda and the lies that the sheep are told every day.
There is something special about mainstream media CIA-controlled news that is important to point out. I've alluded to this in previous articles but it's very important to mention again here. The idea of mainstream media acting as a deceptive government mouthpiece is something most if not all of my readers are widely familiar with. However, it is important to underscore that mainstream media news, like the moving spiral of a hypnotic presentation, is always moving. In other words, if mainstream media actually stopped for even one day, it would begin to lose its effect immediately, and the control system knows this. The power of CIA-controlled mainstream media hypnosis comes in the fact that mainstream media news is ongoing. You get hit with one story, then another, then another, and another and so on. The motion of stories never ends. This moving quality of story-delivery is powerful and carries a hypnotic effect.
Let me be more specific.
When your brain hears one story about ISIS, if that story stood alone eventually your brain would start questioning the story if it didn't have enough weight of evidence to it. However, given the same amount of non-evidence, if you keep the ISIS stories coming continuously, your brain starts wondering how improbable it is that ALL of the stories are untrue; therefore, the naive brain begins to accept that even if the first one or two stories weren't exactly true, then these next 50 stories can't all possibly be untrue.
With this example we can see that the motion of delivering continuous stories then begins to take root inside the mind of the naive mainstream media watcher until finally the person simply believes what they see. With this moving process of continuous lies the CIA is assured that mainstream media believers will eventually be lulled into the hypnotic state they want. Once the sheep are in a deep trance (probably within the first one or two months of repeatedly seeing ISIS stories in this example) the sheep will accept literally anything the CIA throws at them.
This final phase is exactly where we are in terms of the now historic 2014 American media ISIS psyop. This deep trance phase is the phase which will last a very long time, and its main purpose is to prolong the perceived existence of ISIS. During this long trance phase the only thing that matters is that ISIS never goes away. So no matter how powerful the U.S. military is and how powerful the military of all of its allies are, ISIS will never be and must never be defeated. ISIS must live on somehow in this long-term final psyop phase.
From an Intelligence standpoint the creators of the ISIS script need to be creative in generating stories about ISIS that makes it appear as though they are invincible, invisible, have impeccable intelligence, demonstrate super counter-surveillance, are masters of the Internet and alternate communication, are wildly evasive and untraceable, are mobile, clever, quick, ultra-strategic and full of masterful military tactical surprises.
Prolonging the ISIS psyop doesn't end there. It is imperative to push ISIS out of the news for long periods of time so we can expect this next year (2015). Pushing ISIS out of the news for repeated chunks of time will buy the globalists plenty of time to regroup and create more plans with ISIS. This can be easily accomplished by simply focusing on new stories. The media needs no practice with this; think to yourself right now ... whatever happened to MH370?? Or MH17 for that matter??

In order to prolong the ISIS psyop we can expect specific pieces of evidence to fall into the lap of our criminal government similar to the fake beheading videos that characterized the introductory phase of the ISIS psyop. Perhaps they will find "new" videos of ISIS warriors beheading new journalists or Christians. Perhaps they (CIA/Mossad) will hit the studios for a high production value scene which could be indoors or outdoors. Perhaps they will go for the full blood and guts effect instead of cutting to black before showing a Photoshopped head on top of a body. Perhaps they will unleash a pack of new ISIS captured criminals who will "confess" to committing crimes against America.
There is no way to tell what direction the CIA/Mossad will take the ISIS psyop, but in order to do whatever they want to do they will need time. Time is the most important factor right now because no one is asking the obvious questions: Given how small ISIS is and how powerful the U.S. military and its allies are, why does ISIS still exist?? Other questions are not being asked like: How is ISIS managing to exist without food and water? If they do have food supply who then is supplying ISIS with food and water? Where are they getting their new ammunition? Who is cleaning their weapons? Weapons that are not regularly maintained and properly cleaned do not fire properly, remember? Soldiers without food don't have energy to fight so who is running the ISIS supply department and why is their supply not cut off by now? The simple questions that blow open and expose the ISIS psyop go on and on and on. I asked many of these simple questions in my article months ago - How is ISIS getting on the Internet? Who is hosting their account? How do they have a production department and who does their programming and editing? Where are these fancy facilities located and why was their power and communication not cut off a long time ago?
If ISIS gets a flat tire where do they fix it? Why and how do they have the time and space to live so comfortably while waging supposed wars on multiple fronts against the world's greatest military of all time and still easily survive and carry on strong? Who's teaching ISIS? Where (according to the CIA-controlled mainstream media new world order mouthpiece) is ISIS training? Where do they train to fire howitzers and tanks? How about flying planes?? Our CIA-controlled media has no answers for any of these questions. They just want you to think that ISIS simply came about from secret anonymous funding. The U.S. weapons are supposed to be magically "stolen" and the endless supply of ammunition simply found randomly.
At this point in history (November 2014) the ISIS psyop is becoming a story for the ages. I encourage all truth seekers to keep a tight watch on ISIS and the tales the CIA and the globalists have in store for us. Please do whatever you can to expose this final phase of the psyop; and by that I mean the perceived prolongation of their very existence. In order to prolong the existence of ISIS the CIA will likely have to put out many stories of others "joining" ISIS so that ISIS comes across as a "growing" group instead of a dwindling group of untrained young men running around with covered faces.
The ISIS psyop may very well be forever - or at least a very long time - and those of us who have narrated the ISIS tale from the minute they were made global stars by our mass media late this summer have an obligation to narrate the truth about ISIS as it happens in real-time. Future generations deserve to know the truth about the creation and the prolongation of the ISIS psyop and we have an obligation to provide that narrative.
So let's keep watchful of all their moves and be aware of where we stand historically. ISIS is a creation of and for the new world order globalist gangsters. ISIS has a love relationship with Israel and we can expect that they will only be used to help the U.S. expand their global wars while at the same time help the globalists continue to expand their domination, power and tyranny in the U.S. over American citizens. Once you understand these two major goals you will understand why ISIS will not attack Israel, yet they supposedly are willing to travel magically all the way from the Middle East to the United States just to blow up American targets.

If you believe and understand this message, share it with someone and let's hope that the prolongation of the ISIS psyop becomes their own undoing. Let us be creative in finding ways to derail their plans and expose their lies. Let's use every technique we can think of including art, poetry, articles, music, films, documentaries, comedy, rallies, petitions, online campaigns, books, blogs, personal creative projects and anything else you can think of to expose their plans.
In the end, remember this is not just about the ISIS psyop, this is a battle for humanity, truth, justice, morality, reason, dignity, integrity and honor. We WILL win this information war, which is not just about information but a spiritual and psychological overall human survival war. A war that only we are capable of truly winning since the control system doesn't have a conscience or spirit as a driving force the way that we do. Let yourself ponder on this for a minute...

That explains why "despite the coalition airstrikes, the militants have pressed their offensive on the town of Kobani. The US Central Command said US fighter jets and drones conducted 11 airstrikes Monday and Tuesday in Syria, while in neighboring Iraq, heavy fighting erupted between Kurdish fighters and Islamic State militants in the town of Rabia on the Syrian border, and in Zumar and Daquq, after US airstrikes against the extremists’ positions there.
Thus Turkey moves closer to intervention in Syria and Iraq, as if they haven't been all this time and with approval becoming official,Washington State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki welcomed the Turkish move and said the United States was looking forward to strengthening cooperation between Turkey and the rest of the global coalition seeking to defeat the Islamic State.
Soon after ISIS overran the village with heavy fighting and shelling, while in Iraq on Sunday, Islamic State militants publicly killed six Iraqi soldiers captured in the western province of Anbar, where the extremists continue to advance despite an expanding US-led campaign of airstrikes, residents said. The killings took place in the town of Hit, which the Islamic State overran on Thursday night, about 85 miles west of the capital, Baghdad. The Iraqi soldiers — one in uniform and five in civilian clothes — were lined up against a wall and shot in the head, the residents said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they feared for their own safety. On Sunday, one shell fired from the Syrian side struck a house in the Turkish village, and it killed a child.
With the Islamic State moving in and advancing, NATO vows help if Turkey comes under attack as they ramp up the strikes -- even though Turkish officials have said that while they do not want Kobani to fall, they will not take on a greater role until the coalition outlines a broader strategy that also includes attacking Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is best positioned to benefit from any rollback of the Islamic State. Turkey also has called for the creation of a buffer zone inside Syria to secure the border, but the White House and Pentagon said Wednesday the United States is not considering that option. Such a zone would be costly and complex to enforce.
So that's what Turkey wants: a chunk of Syria.
"That’s a short-sighted policy. If Kobani falls, it may be impossible to dislodge ISIS from the strategically located town. If the White House is serious about containing ISIS, it.... would get more deeply involved in the conflict with the Islamic State [and] agree to give greater support to rebels trying to unseat the Syrian president, Bashar Assad."
I guess they soon got serious, although even that is in dispute.
Strikes didn’t end threat from Syrian terrorist cell
On Sept. 22, the US fired 46 cruise missiles at eight locations to target the group. At the same time, American airstrikes struck targets associated with the Islamic State group in Syria. One of the US missiles went awry and killed a dozen civilians in the village of Kfar Derian, according to Mohammed Abu Omar, an activist in the northern province of Idlib. The US military says it has not confirmed any civilian casualties."
Hazy intelligence, they say, because the "United States lacks the networks of bases, spies, and ground-based technology it had in place during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or even the network of human sources it developed in Pakistan and Yemen," and yet they do seem to know this:
US targets militant group, citing plots to attack West
A Kuwaiti who is said to have founded Khorasan in Syria and was a senior Al Qaeda operative close to Osama bin Laden.
Turns out the Khorasan is a complete fiction, but.... there are warnings of massacres as "US Central Command said in a statement that the US-led coalition conducted nine airstrikes in Syria on Thursday and Friday. It said strikes near Kobani destroyed two Islamic State training facilities, as well as vehicles and tanks.
Yes, they have finally ISIS. So it's on to the Kurds. The policy has been a complete failure, and as the Kurds request antitank weapons US Central Command said Thursday it most recently launched 14 airstrikes on Islamic State targets near Kobani, hitting 19 buildings and two command posts, as well as fighting and sniper positions. ‘‘Indications are that airstrikes have continued to slow ISIL advances, but....’’ Turkey opposed US arms transfers to the Kurds, then said it will aid Kurdish forces, "suggesting that it had quietly agreed to the United States’ decision"as it still supports efforts to unseat Assad. Otherwise we lose Turkey.
The U.S. tried to airdrop them in, but "it appears the wind caused the parachute to go off-course, and that the weapons in the bundle were not enough to give the enemy any advantage," and the possession of captured fighter jets ‘‘will have a minimal military impact — however, they will provide a significant psychological boost to IS.’’
The fight in Kobani has raised sympathy for the outgunned Kurds, and ‘‘this is a big turning point in Kurdish history.’’ ‘‘Kurds will remember this moment in history. They will speak of ‘before and after Kobani.’’’
Even the women are on front lines because ‘‘there is no difference between a lion and a lioness.’’
There is nothing new about Kurdish women in battle. They have fought alongside men for years in a guerrilla war against Turkey. The campaign for Kurdish independence has been pursued mainly by leftist militant groups that championed gender equality. In fact, "Kurdish women have joined the battle, and one blew herself up with a grenade over the weekend rather than be captured, according to Kurdish and Syrian activists."
And don't worry, help is on the way:
Kurdish and Iraqi forces widen offensive against Islamic State as "US warplanes conducted seven airstrikes against the Islamic State in northwest Iraq, and for the first time, British forces joined the airstrike campaign."

Even the claimed victories are losses.

Globe hid that item, but not this:
Hundreds of troops exposed to toxins in Iraq
More than 600 US servicemembers since 2003 have reported to military medical staff members that they believe they were exposed to chemical warfare agents in Iraq, but the military, for more than a decade, kept from view encounters with abandoned chemical weapons during the occupation of Iraq. This chapter of the occupation became public after an investigation by The New York Times revealed last month that while troops did not find an active weapons of mass destruction program, they did encounter degraded chemical weapons from the 1980s that had been hidden in caches or used in makeshift bombs. The larger tally of potential cases suggests that there were more encounters with chemical weapons than the United States has acknowledged."
Yes, folks, the New York Times is telling you chemical weapons really were in Iraq. They are still trying to push that. How pathetic. They should be ashamed, but of course, they were the lead liar on it all. I've noticed depleted uranium never merits a mention.
Islamic State jihadists using water as a weapon in Iraq
"The Islamic State militants who have rampaged across northern Iraq are increasingly using water as a weapon, cutting off supplies to villages resisting their rule and pressing to expand their control over the country’s water infrastructure. ‘‘If [the Mosul Dam] was breached, it could have proven catastrophic, with floods that would have threatened the lives of thousands of civilians and endangered our embassy compound in Baghdad,’’ President Obama said on Aug. 18, the day Iraqi forces retook the structure. The Islamic State ‘‘understands how powerful water is as a tool, and they are not afraid to use it,’’ said Michael Stephens, a Middle East specialist and deputy director of the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based security studies think tank."
All well and good except they didn't do it when had chance.

In June, 2,400 were killed.
The numbers keep adding up:
"UN reports 5,550 dead in Islamic State campaign" by Nick Cumming-Bruce | New York Times October 03, 2014
GENEVA — More than 5,500 people have been killed in Iraq since an offensive by the Islamic State militant group began in June, the United Nations reported Thursday, including hundreds of minority Yazidis slaughtered in mass executions.
The Yazidi thing was another lying hoax like we have seen so often in Iraq, so how am I to feel about the rest?
The report takes particular note of the extremists’ campaign of physical and sexual violence against women and children, with accounts of women being captured and sold as sex slaves to Islamic State recruits, and children being used as soldiers.
The war must be going very badly for them to play the women and children card so quick.
Those deaths are among the 9,343 civilians killed in Iraq from January through September, the United Nations said in a joint report by its mission in Iraq and its human rights office in Geneva, emphasizing that the figures were “absolute minimums.” The total casualty count for the year so far, including wounded, is at least 26,000.
“This report is terrifying,” Nickolay Mladenov, the UN special representative for Iraq, said in a statement.
The accounts of atrocities were not limited to the Islamic State, a Sunni militant group also known as ISIS or ISIL. Iraqi government security forces and militias associated with them have also committed “gross violations” of international law, abducting civilians and hanging their bodies from lampposts in Baquba, summarily killing captured Islamic State fighters, and launching airstrikes that resulted in “significant” civilian deaths and injuries, according to the report.
But as the Islamic State seeks to expand its control of parts of northern Iraq, its campaign of terror has shocked the world, officials said.
“The array of violations and abuses perpetrated by ISIL and associated armed groups is staggering, and many of their acts may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity,” Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein, the UN human rights chief, said in a statement that urged the new Iraqi government to accept the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court to investigate whether such crimes had been committed.
The militants have treated women particularly harshly, killing female doctors, lawyers, and other professionals, the United Nations said.
The Mossad assassination program in Iraq did the same thing. It's how you weaken a country.

Then there are the public executions meant to win people over, "the latest mass killing carried out by the group while US-led coalition has been targeting Islamic State extremists with airstrikes. US Central Command said the coalition launched six missions in Iraq over Tuesday and Wednesday, using jet fighters and drones to hit targets near Fallujah and Sinjar. In other violence Wednesday, police said a roadside bomb exploded near an army patrol in a town just south of Baghdad, killing three soldiers and wounding seven. A later bomb blast on a commercial street in Baghdad’s eastern district of Ur killed two people and wounded eight, police said. Wednesday night, a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden car into a police checkpoint in the town of Youssifiyah, just south of Baghdad, killing five police officers and wounding 18 people, including some civilians, officials said.

None by ISIS, but they are killing off former Iraqi police and army officers as another 50 were lined up and killed. Meanwhile Saturday, the United Nations mission in Baghdad said at least 1,273 Iraqis were killed in violence in October, a slight increase compared with last month’s toll amid the Islamic State group’s assault.
So as the massacres of more families continues, US and Iraqi officials have said that Iraq’s security forces are planning to launched a major spring offensive against Islamic State fighters, with the help of US-led airstrikes and foreign advisers. Iraqi and Kurdish forces have made inroads in recent weeks in securing territory.
Yup, we're winning!
Not in Syria though:

Group says at least 500 killed in US strikes in Syria, with at least 32 civilians killed, including six children and five women.
35 killed as Syrian rebels clash with government troops; In Iraq, two insurgent car bombings killed at least 38 people.
Must be why the Iraqi Kurds are headed to fight militants in Syria while US Central Command said US forces carried out four airstrikes near Kobani in the past 24 hours, destroying four fighting positions and a small unit. In Berlin, Syria’s neighbors urged European countries at a conference of foreign ministers and representatives from 40 nations to open their doors to more refugees, and for immediate financial and technological help as their infrastructures buckle under the massive influx of civilians fleeing the conflict. Turkey has agreed to train and equip moderate Syrian rebel forces who have for more than three years sought to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. More than 3 million people have fled Syria because of the conflict, mostly to neighboring countries. Another 6 million are displaced within Syria.
Turkey has been training and equipping for three years, and those refugees are all Obama's.
"In an unusual battle near the border with the Golan Heights in southern Syria, another group backed by the United States, the Omari Brigades of the Syrian Revolutionaries Front, took a government air defense base on the hilltop of Tel al-Harrah and posted a video of several fighters with what they said was Russian-made government air defense equipment."
All the insurgents are backed by the U.S.!
And that Russian weaponry apparently killed schoolchildren, although it was not immediately clear who fired the mortar rounds. Both forces loyal to President Bashar Assad and rebels opposed to his rule use the weapons. Activists said they believed pro-Assad forces were responsible — if only because it was unlikely that rebels would fire at their own people.
Of course, Assad would drop chemical weapons on his own just as U.N. inspectors entered the country, but you know.... they got videos and everything (pfft).
Also Wednesday, in the Kurdish-dominated far north and northeastern regions, Kurdish forces distributed leaflets to residents, ordering them to report for compulsory military service, the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights said, [and] from Monday through Wednesday, the US-led coalition conducted four airstrikes in Syria, including three near Kobani, US Central Command said.

"Iraq says Islamic State leader wounded in airstrike" by Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Vivian Salama | Associated Press November 10, 2014
BAGHDAD — The reclusive Baghdadi is known to have made only one public appearance, purportedly delivering a sermon at a mosque in Mosul, as seen in a video posted online in June.
Wearing a Mickey Mouse watch.
That came five days after his group declared establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the territories it holds in Iraq and Syria. The group proclaimed Baghdadi its leader and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance to him.
Since then, part of the Islamic State group’s core strategy has been to establish administration over lands that it controls to project an image of itself as more than just a fighting force. In parts of Syria under its control, the group administers courts, repairs roads, and even polices traffic.
Just ignore the executions and beheadings. You can see the latest report on how building the Islamic State is coming along.
