Britain’s History of Collusion with Terror

Britain’s History of Collusion with Terror
https://off-guardian.org/2017/05/30/britains-history-of-collusion-with-terror/
When Britain’s collusion with death squads across the ‘Middle East’ and Africa is mentioned it falls on deaf ears. The only time you’ll hear of Britain’s open collaboration with these forces are when they are branded ‘moderates’ or ‘rebels’ by the British media.
Firstly, what do I mean by death squad. I use this term to refer to a wide range of forces, namely Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda affiliated groups, Islamic State, the UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force), UDA/UFF (Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters), RHD (Red Hand Commandos), LVF (Loyalist Volunteer Force) and the British Army’s very own units such as the Military Reaction Force, Special Reconnaissance Unit and the Force Research Unit.
Loyalist death squads in Ireland were an extension of the British state. They worked hand in hand with British intelligence, British military and the colonial police (RUC). In 2012, the De Silva Report revealed that 85% of the intelligence the UDA received had been supplied by the British security forces. The UDA was not proscribed as a terrorist organisation until 1992 – the decade when the British were waging a campaign of pacification on the Provisional Republican movement.
Loyalist terror gangs were responsible for scores of terror attacks in partnership with said British forces.
The 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings which claimed the lives of 34 people carried out by the UVF in cahoots with British intelligence. Britain keeps the files on this act of terror firmly under lock and key. The Miami Showband massacre in 1975, saw the British Army team up with the UVF to murder three members of a cabaret band. Human rights lawyers Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson were assassinated by loyalist death squads working with British military and intelligence. There are endless examples of British collusion with loyalist death squads over a forty year period.
The Irish motto is “collusion is not an illusion, it is state murder” and it rings true today with regards to Britain’s relationship with its death squad proxies across Africa and the ‘Middle East’.
Saudi Arabia is a British creation that serves the interests of the Brits and the United States to this day. The British re-established Saudi Wahhabism in the region after it had been rejected, using its intolerance to wage an internal war on the Ottoman Empire during WW1. In a typically British case of divide and conquer, they allied with the Al-Saud family who have been willing servants of British and American imperialism since their reign.
It was Winston Churchill who bankrolled and armed Ibn Saud, the first King of Saudi Arabia. He doubled his subsidy in 1922 to £100,000. In 1921, Churchill delivered a speech to the House of Commons whereby he branded the followers of Ibn Saud “bloodthirsty” and “intolerant”. For the British this was no problem as long as the Al-Saud family and its followers worked in their interest. And this remains this case today. Not only in relation to the Saudis but also to the various proxy forces fighting across the ‘Middle East’ and Africa. So long as these contras work in British interest, the British will support them. When they render themselves useless or go rogue as often is the case, the British wages war on them.
They [Ibn Saud’s followers] hold it as an article of duty, as well as of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and to make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahhabi villages for simply appearing in the streets… [they are] austere, intolerant, well-armed and bloodthirsty”. – Churchill, 1921, speech to the House of Commons.
Thatcher’s open collusion with the Mujahideen in the 1980s saw her tell a large group on the Pakistan and Afghanistan border that the “hearts of the free world are with them“.
Britain covertly gave military training and supplies to the Mujahideen. The SAS was routinely going in and out of Afghanistan from Pakistan, moving supplies to the Mujahideen and other Afghan groups. In 1986 Britain shipped 600 shoulder launched anti-air craft missiles, with many going to the forces of Hizb-e-Islami, headed by Addul Haq whom Thatcher welcomed to Britain the same year. Haq had ordered a bombing in Kabul which killed 28 people, most of them students. Haq stated that the intention of the bomb was ‘to warn people’ against sending their children to the Soviet Union’.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, an associate of Osama Bin Laden, was also invited to London in 1986 by Thatcher. She hailed him a “freedom fighter“. He had gained status after throwing acid in a woman’s face. Known as the ‘Butcher of Kabul’, Hekmatyar, oversaw a campaign of terror which led to at least 50,000 deaths in Kabul alone.
The Mujahideen were bolstered with billions of dollars and military training mainly from the United States. Britain’s specific contributions were specialised military training and funnelling military supplies in to Afghanistan.
In Libya in 2011, Britain allied and worked with various death squads like the LIFG (Libyan Islamic Fighting Group). It was only in 2005, after the 7/7 bombings, that the LIFG was designated as a terrorist group. 6 years later though, the British were back colluding with this very force against Libya, a country it has wanted regime change in since the al-Fatah revolution led by Muammar Gaddafi in 1969.
An SAS unit along with MI6 agents on a covert mission were captured just outside of Benghazi. They claim they were on their way to meet with Libyan ‘rebels’. Branded a “diplomatic team” by William Hague this blunder on behalf of the SAS was quickly swept under the carpet. A telephone conversation of then British ambassador Richard Northern asking for this “diplomatic team” to be released was leaked. In Basra 2005 an SAS team was apprehended by the Iraqi police after a clash in which two people were left dead. They were dressed in Arab clothing with heavy weaponry. The British Army sent in tanks to brake down the walls of the prison they were being held in.
We saw Britain assist the movement of thousands of militants in Bosnia who were there to fight against the Serbs. Hundreds of men from Britain have in recent years travelled to Syria and joined various death squads in the region. A trail collapsed in 2015 against a Swedish national whose lawyers argued British intelligence agencies were “supporting the same Syrian opposition group” as he was. They went on to allege British intelligence were supplying weapons to the group.
Britain is not the enemy of terrorism – it stokes the flames of sectarianism and facilitates death squads when and where it fits in with the agenda of their foreign policy.

Re: Britain’s History of Collusion with Terror
5 non-conspiratorial facts that prove a western liberal/jihadist alliance
The internet is full of theories about just who controls ISIS and like-minded groups and why. Many are based only on circumstantial evidence though others do have some merit. Many more are outlandish however well meaning and some are just nonsense.
But one needn’t turn to conspiracy theories in order to prove a deeply frightening link between neo-liberal western elites and ISIS. The facts are widely available and many are well known, though hardly ever discussed in western mainstream media.
Here are the key facts
1. Self-professed Liberal Democracies Fund, Arm and Go to War for Jihadist Terrorists
Syria and Libya are the two most strident examples of western countries funding Salafist terrorists including those openly calling themselves al-Qaeda and ISIS in western sponsored wars against secular Arab governments.
In Syria, western countries have actively backed terrorists under the guise that they are ‘moderate rebels’. In reality these are Salafist terrorists whose ethos, ideology and terrorist methods are the same as those calling themselves ISIS. Due to the fluidity of the war in Syria, the names of various groups, the status of various groups and the particular self-professed allegiance of individual fighters, changes with extreme rapidity. One can be in ISIS Monday, al-Qaeda Tuesday and the FSA on Wednesday. The fight and the ideology remains the same, only the names change.
Last year, even the liberal leaning Salon magazine published a detailed report of the crimes against humanity committed by the so-called ‘moderate rebels’ in Syria.
In Libya NATO fought a war on behalf of al-Qaeda and other Salafist groups to topple the legal government of Libya. Countries like Britain even used their intelligence services to help bring latent jihadists, some of whom were under police surveillance, to Libya in order to fight a NATO/Salafist war.
The result of this is a totally failed state on the southern Mediterranean. Libya is now the world’s largest open-air terrorist training camp whose jihadists sneak into Egypt to slaughter civilians and whose arms smugglers, people traffickers and narcotics rings stretch to southern Europe and beyond.
Far from realising that such policies create terrorist blow-back in their own countries which kills their own civilians as it recently did in the British city of Manchester, western elite leaders pretend that such a thing doesn’t exist. The US, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and their allies continue to fund, arm and act as the air force for jihadists in Syria, all while helping the Saudis to aid the Wahhabist/jihadist cause in Yemen.
It’s not a hidden alliance, it’s an open alliance. Calling the terrorists ‘moderate rebels’ doesn’t make it a secret, it just makes the justification duplicitous.
2. They Both Oppose The Same Things In The Arab World and Beyond
ISIS and al-Qaeda want to destroy secular, progressive, modern Arab governments whether Ba’athist, Nasserist or in the case of Libya one based on the Third International Theory–western leaders want the same.
Jihadists believe it is their duty to replace secular governments with theocracy–western leaders back them up.
Israel which is a western state that only sometimes calls itself one is fighting on the same side in Syria as the Muslim Brotherhood style terrorist group Hamas–but neither want to admit it.
Countries like secular France, Israel, Germany the US and UK don’t like to talk about the fact that Libya was a secular state with mass literacy, women’s rights, protections and safety for black people and high living standards.
They likewise totally ignore or even lie about the fact that Ba’athist Syria under President Bashar al-Assad is a country which protects Christians and where in government controlled areas Sunni, Shi’a, Orthodox and Catholic live side by side, share friendships and even marry one another. Of course in Syria women are free to dress as they want and have roles in government and all other major professions, including in universities.
The liberal west and ISIS style jihadists both seek to destroy this.
Beyond the Arab world, in Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is a popular, democratically elected leader who has vowed to crush the terrible drug problem which kills more people per year than terrorism. Duterte also realises that drugs fund ISIS.
Duterte, like Assad, Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein before that also have another thing in common. He is taking Philippines out of the US political and economic orbit. Is liberal western ideology, like jihad, just an excuse for a good old fashion war for imperial power? You bet!
3. There Is An Historical Basis For The Jihadist/Western Alliance
In the 1920s, Britain helped the young Muslim Brotherhood, a backwards, extremist proto-Salafist political movement which the British colonial authorities knew could help hold Egypt back from a revolutionary anti-colonial movement.
By the 1950s, Britain had failed to hold back the revolution and General Gamal Abdel Nasser. Britain however had more success in The Hejaz when in the mid 1920s, Britain switched allegiance from its war time ally The Hashemites who can trace their lineage to the Prophet Muhammad, to the obscure House of Saud. Britain helped the Saudis win the war where they ultimately established the Wahhabi Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, which is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the modern Middle East.
Britain however, was not done with secular, revolutionary Nasserist Egypt. In 1956 Britain, France and Israel invaded Egypt in order to ‘take back’ the Suez Canal. The invasion failed as both the USA and the USSR in a rare moment of unity, forced the invading countries to retreat.
But Britain had its revenge on Egypt when during the North Yemen Civil War of the 1960s, British mercenaries and regulars forced Egypt to withdraw from the country by the end of the decade.
Britain, like America after it, realised that by allying with backwards theocratic obscurantists one could prevent post-colonial countries from becoming wealthy, happy, independent and strong nations. Some things never change and indeed they have not.
4. Both ISIS and the West Invoke Universalist Ideologies
While many in the west realise that by helping terrorists (aka moderate head coppers) the west is engaged in the 21st century version of old fashioned imperialism, others actually believe what they say.
The liberal ideology like the jihadist ideology (call it Slafism, Wahhabism etc) is a one-size-fits-all universal theory. According to western liberals, all countries should practice economic neo-liberalism and social post-modern liberalism. The lack thereof is justifiable cause for invasion and regime change. Likewise, ISIS and its copy-cats believe that the entire world should practice Wahhabism/Salafism and that the lack thereof is justifiable cause for invasion and regime change.
Neither care for the fact that different societies require different governmental solutions. It is their way or the highway in both cases. Universalist ideology is the easiest way to justify imperialism. The Spanish Conquistadors did it, the French Revolutionaries did it, the Bolshevik Trotsky did it and now both liberals in the west and Salafists like ISIS are doing it world wide. The needs and wishes of real local people are ignored…the ideologues know best!
5. The West Turns Muslims Into Salafists and Conservatives Against Muslims–ISIS turns Sunni Against Shi’a and Christian Against Muslim
Western leaders, in funding jihad abroad have also come to both actively and tacitly define Islam as equivalent to Salafism. When this happens, conservatives in the west come to see Islam as a wicked threat to their existence, instead of understanding that Salafist jihad is a threat to everyone’s interests, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist and atheist alike.
The liberal Islamophobia narrative enforces this false dichotomy and has the effect of shutting up western conservatives or otherwise keeping them in the dark about the real problem. This allows little room for a debate on western foreign policy which allies western armed forces funded by western tax dollars with ISIS like groups.
Likewise in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, al-Qaeda and ISIS are pushing a narrative which pits Sunni Muslim against Shi’a Muslim, Christian against all Muslim and Arab against non-Arab.
Both of these propaganda ploys achieve the same goal. It is classic divide and rule thinking. If you create false hatred, people will be too busy fighting each other to know what is actually going on.
Who needs a conspiracy theory to prove the west’s alliance with jihadists when these facts are there for all to see.
The internet is full of theories about just who controls ISIS and like-minded groups and why. Many are based only on circumstantial evidence though others do have some merit. Many more are outlandish however well meaning and some are just nonsense.
But one needn’t turn to conspiracy theories in order to prove a deeply frightening link between neo-liberal western elites and ISIS. The facts are widely available and many are well known, though hardly ever discussed in western mainstream media.

While many in the west realise that by helping terrorists (aka moderate head coppers) the west is engaged in the 21st century version of old fashioned imperialism, others actually believe what they say.
The liberal ideology like the jihadist ideology (call it Slafism, Wahhabism etc) is a one-size-fits-all universal theory. According to western liberals, all countries should practice economic neo-liberalism and social post-modern liberalism. The lack thereof is justifiable cause for invasion and regime change. Likewise, ISIS and its copy-cats believe that the entire world should practice Wahhabism/Salafism and that the lack thereof is justifiable cause for invasion and regime change.
Neither care for the fact that different societies require different governmental solutions. It is their way or the highway in both cases. Universalist ideology is the easiest way to justify imperialism. The Spanish Conquistadors did it, the French Revolutionaries did it, the Bolshevik Trotsky did it and now both liberals in the west and Salafists like ISIS are doing it world wide. The needs and wishes of real local people are ignored…the ideologues know best!
5. The West Turns Muslims Into Salafists and Conservatives Against Muslims–ISIS turns Sunni Against Shi’a and Christian Against Muslim
Western leaders, in funding jihad abroad have also come to both actively and tacitly define Islam as equivalent to Salafism. When this happens, conservatives in the west come to see Islam as a wicked threat to their existence, instead of understanding that Salafist jihad is a threat to everyone’s interests, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist and atheist alike.
The liberal Islamophobia narrative enforces this false dichotomy and has the effect of shutting up western conservatives or otherwise keeping them in the dark about the real problem. This allows little room for a debate on western foreign policy which allies western armed forces funded by western tax dollars with ISIS like groups.
Likewise in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, al-Qaeda and ISIS are pushing a narrative which pits Sunni Muslim against Shi’a Muslim, Christian against all Muslim and Arab against non-Arab.
Both of these propaganda ploys achieve the same goal. It is classic divide and rule thinking. If you create false hatred, people will be too busy fighting each other to know what is actually going on.
Who needs a conspiracy theory to prove the west’s alliance with jihadists when these facts are there for all to see.
