We Are Being Lied to About Ramadi – It Was Taken by the GMCIR not “ISIS™” | American Everyman

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: The first incarnation of “IS” dates back to 2012, a Defense Intelligence Agency document talking about how Saudi Salafists could be used to destabilize and terrorize the people of Syria until a regime change could be achieved.

Where is the US airstrike like what happened in Kuwait in 1991?

We are being lied to about what recently happened in Ramadi. We didn’t lose control of the city to “ISIS™” though it has slipped out of our control once again. The photos of the parades of Toyota trucks outfitted with clean new “ISIS™” flags are reported at times to be “downtown” Ramadi and then again in “West Anbar”.  Well, if you look at a map of al Anbar province in Iraq you will notice that “West Anbar” goes all the way over to the Jordanian border. Then if you look at this, the most recent map of the conflict itself you will see that a good part of “West Anbar” is controlled by Iraq’s forces along with the new Coalition of the Willing.

You put two and two together and you come to understand why it is that the major parade of our dreaded enemy wasn’t bombed into dust by all our drones and fighter planes as they gathered for their little demonstration. The answer to that question is simple and as obvious as our oil-covered fingerprints all over them: “ISIS™” is a “hearts and minds” operation to gin up support for the Obama administration going back into Iraq to fight the Iraq Sunni InSurgency or “ISIS” for short. The parades aren’t bombed like the convoys were in Kuwait simply because the men on the backs of those trucks aren’t really part of the insurgency. They’re Iraqi soldiers wearing masks so they won’t be identified.

This is what happens when our enemies make the mistake of driving down the road in a convoy even if they are leaving and even if they are accompanied by hundreds of refugees.

Today we have technology that is leaps and bounds more advanced than we did in 1991. We have surveillance planes and drones flying over Iraq non-stop. We have satellites dedicated to real-time monitoring of everything that’s taking place in the country because since the illegal invasion and occupation of 2003, the masters of our political system, Big Business, has an awful lot invested in the continued “stability” of Iraq. And by “stability” I mean the continued repression of a legitimate process of self-determination by the people of Iraq.

When the MSM pundits argue one side or the other about how Obama “lost” Ramadi ask yourself why they aren’t asking “why is it that “ISIS™” can hold parades all day long with their stupid brand-new flags waving over head and not worry in the slightest about making themselves big shining targets for drone and cruise missile strikes?

When you ask yourself that question, more will follow and you’ll start to understand what “ISIS™” really is.

So what is “ISIS™” and what is Ramadi to them?

If you take away the fake beheading videos and the BS stories about abducting women to entertain their “terrorists” in the field, would you or anyone you know support a re-engagement in Iraq? Would you support it if they told you the real story behind the renewed conflict? That is was really about re-securing the nation on behalf of Big Business interests that are about to lose their gravy-train? That it was about crushing a revolution that was rising up against our brutal puppet regime in the country? That it had popular support not only in Anbar but across the country?

Would you support the bombing of Iraqi cities by Obama if you realized that it all stemmed from our previous dictator we installed and his brutal crack-down on legitimate protests across the entire country and this new puppet they installed was viewed as just as bad by the people of the country?

Here’s a little background from Wiki to start with:

The General Military Council for Iraqi Revolutionaries (Arabic: المجلس العسكري العام لثوار العراق‎ al-Majlis al-‘Askari al-‘Āmm li-Thuwwār al-‘Irāq) abbreviated as GMCIR or MCIR,[2] is a Ba’athist militant group active in Iraq headed by Saddam Hussein-era military and political leaders.[3]It has been described by Al Jazeera as “one of the main groups” in the current Iraqi insurgency.[4]

The Council began its insurgency against the Iraqi government in January 2014 as a unifying command for the former SunniArab Spring protestors that Nouri al-Maliki‘s government had cracked down upon since 2012.[5] The figures associated with the MCIR have stated that it has a central command and “the footprints of a professional army”,[3] that it follows the Geneva Convention protocol rules,[6] as well as claiming to be non-sectarian and seeking a “democratic solution” to the Iraqi crisis.[4]

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace characterized the MCIR as an Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party – Iraq Regionfront group.[2]

The MCIR has a presence in Al-Anbar (especially Ramadi and Fallujah), Salahuddin, Baghdad, Abu Ghraib, Mosul, and Diyala.[4] After seizing and capturing Mosul, the MCIR entered it along with many opposition armed forces, including ISIS. They installed a former officer in the Iraqi Army, Major General Azhar al-Ubaidi, with the approval of the other forces that entered Mosul, as governor.[7]A municipal worker described MCIR as administering the management of the city better than the Iraqi government, which was “providing electricity for only 2 or 3 hours a day,” and was “corrupt.”[8]

After the Iraqi Parliament approved the government of the new PM Haider al-Abadi on 8 September 2014, the MCIR stated on 9 September “Our people are being deceived, misled, ignored and mocked, while the political process stayed on the same faces.”[9] They commented in the statement on the installation of Nouri al-Maliki as a vice-president of Fuad Masum, saying “Instead of prosecuting al-Maliki for his crimes and his explosive barrels that are being thrown on over the heads of innocent people, the political leaders of Iraq honored him by making him vice-president of the republic of murder and destruction.”[10]

The GMIR has close links with the Association of Muslim Scholars, a group that considers the current Iraqi government as illegitimate due to being the result of the United States occupation.[3]

…An unnamed source for the MCIR stated: “We plan to avoid them [ISIS] until we are settled and operations are finished; then we will kick them out.”[11] 

The presence of MCIR fighters on the ground has been noted by observers, who argued that United States airstrikes would “inflame” the situation in Iraq by not taking into account the diversity of the opposition to the al-Maliki regime.[12]

We are told “ISIS™” seeks and Islamic Caliphate. In reality, the Iraq Sunni InSurgency wishes to install a secular democratic state in Iraq.

We are told by the few media outlets that dare to make a single mention of the General Military Council for Iraqi Revolutionaries that they are aligned with “ISIS™” and yet any amount of research proves this to be a lie. And common sense will tell you that if they don’t fear bombing runs when they stage their little parades, and we don’t attempt to make them, there’s probably a very good reason that the GMCIR isn’t teamed up with “ISIS™”

If you go back to 2011 when the first vestiges of the Sunni insurgency began you will find no mention of “ISIS” but several mentions of various issues that were never addressed and they finally were by installing a new puppet, they fell way short of appeasing the large Sunni Baathist population.

In a June 2009 communiqué issued to celebrate the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq’s cities, Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri stressed the goal of “resistance unity on the battlefield.”[32] One U.S. officer noted: “We believe now that JRTN’s intent is to coalesce as many insurgent groups…under a common theme of removing the occupiers (the Coalition Forces) from Iraq and, second, to overthrow the government of Iraq for a Ba`athist regime or something similar.”[33] JRTN states that it would be willing to negotiate a cease-fire with the government of Iraq and the United States, but only once many of the changes wrought in Iraq since 2003 are reversed, including the unattainable stated aim of restoring all of the 600,000-odd security personnel to their former statuses and disestablishing all government organs and laws introduced since the occupation began.[34]…

…JRTN’s video productions have consistently focused on the concerns of mainstream Sunnis, such as the fear of an Iranian-influenced Shi`a government in Baghdad, concerns about Kurdish activities in the disputed areas (termed “the occupied territories” by JRTN), and general discontent about the apparent chaos and corruption since the end of Ba`athist rule.[35] Michael Knights, Combating Terrorism Center, July 2011

To further illustrate who we are really fighting in Iraq, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri  mentioned above, is the leader of the Naqshbandi Army which is part of the General Military Council for Iraqi Revolutionaries. There are four groups that make up this resistance force:

You will notice, “ISIS™” is not one of them.

Not that long ago the US touted a major “victory” in their fight against “ISIS™”. They claimed they killed a major “ISIS™” military leader by the name of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri. Not only was his reported affiliation with “ISIS™” a lie, but so was the news of his death apparently.

When this whole thing kicked off in early 2014, I wrote “The ISIS Crisis: Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri and the Naqshbandi Army ” It was attempt to explain what was really going on in Iraq and why “ISIS™” had been created in the first place.

In Oct. of 2014 I wrote “ISIS™ Defined – Of Terrorists and Ba’athists “. Once again trying to dispel the mythology of “ISIS™” and let people know what they were really supporting when they backed Obama’s bombing of Iraq.

Ramadi was always part of this revolution. From the very beginning. It has a large Sunni population that is sick and tired of our various puppet dictators. Even back during the original invasion of Iraq, Ramadi was a key city in the resistance to Bush’s “Coalition of the Willing”. “ It was heavily damaged during the Iraq War, when it was a major focus for the insurgency against occupying United States forces.”

The policy of de-Ba’athification and the disbandment of the Iraqi Army, implemented by the United States following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, hit Ramadi particularly hard due to its links to the party and the army. Many senior officials and military figures in the city suddenly found themselves excluded from public life. This gave them both the motivation and the means, given their connections and technical expertise, to mount a campaign of violent resistance to the occupying forces. As a result, Ramadi became a hotbed of insurgency between 2003 and 2006 and was badly affected by the Iraq War.[16]

Our occupation of Ramadi left a lingering impression on the people of that city. It also left an impression on our soldiers who fought and died to take control of it and then keep control of it. You can read about their “heartbreak” at the “loss” of the city all across the web today.

In Nov. of last year there was a huge battle for the city which is one of the largest in Iraq. The GMCIR forces engaged our puppet dictator’s troops and eventually, this past week, the story is that they finally retook the city from our client state in Baghdad.

That much of the story is true. But it wasn’t “ISIS™” that took it and it isn’t “ISIS™” who controls it now. It’s the GMCIR or the Iraq Sunni Insurgency if you will.

Gen. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made a rather telling comment the other day about the situation in Ramadi when he explained the relative importance of the city.

America’s top military officer said defending the embattled Iraqi city of Ramadi is of secondary importance compared with protecting the Beiji oil refinery from Islamic State militants…

… “Once the Iraqis have full control of Beiji they will control all of their oil infrastructure both north and south and deny ISIL the ability to generate revenue through oil,” Dempsey said, using an acronym to refer to Islamic State. “So Beiji is a more strategic target and that’s why the focus right now is in fact on Beiji.” Stars and Stripes

The focus in Iraq, our Coalition of the Willing 2.0’s focus, is now as it always has been: oil. After all, the first name of the operation to invade Iraq in 2003 was “Operation Iraq Liberation” or O.I.L. for short. They changed that after a laugh or two.

And the enemy is also the same: the people of Iraq. The people of Iraq who wish to shape the future of their nation themselves otherwise known as “self-determination” or “freedom”
