While reports have surfaced of John Kerry’s meetings with Iran officials, and Biden wanting diplomatic relations to be restructured, the US attack on Syria comes with some very questionable facts:
NATO has released no statement regarding the attacks other than the reaffirmation of an increased presence in Iraq for the 4,000 troops and the assertion that NATO will do nothing without the approval of the Iraqi government.
AND AS USUAL – SOMETHING SEEMS AMISS:
On February 17th, Iranian President Rouhanni announced that Iran was ready to hold talks with the UN chief claiming they had no intention of stopping their collaborative work with the IAEA and inspections.
The contractor hired to maintain security for the Iraqi F-16’s is Sallyport. KS International, LLC states that Sallyport operates as a subsidiary under their umbrella. And Michael Baker International LLC, located in Lakewood, Colorado, claims KS International, Kaseman, Michael Baker Corporation and Sallyport are subsidiaries under their umbrella. KS Website no longer exists, and Sallypoint never had a website.
Their LinkedIn profile claims their clients include: DoD, Department of State, USAID, UN, World Bank and ‘others’. KS International LinkedIn of ‘people’ indicates special ops mercenaries.
Michael Baker International LLC claims ‘more than’ $1.3 billion in annual revenue.
In 2017 Sallyport came under scrutiny when internal investigators and staff revealed that while in Iraq securing the F-16’s, the company was a) involved in human trafficking for prostitution, b) smuggling high volumes of alcohol onto base with planes weighted so heavily one seesawed on the tarmac when landing c) security officials ‘allowed’ militia to steal generators on a flatbed truck, d) theft of an armoured SUV and a 60’ crane, and e) maintaining two separate set of books. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sallyport-global-contractor-alcohol-theft-sex-trafficking=iraq=balad=ap/
The investigators and whistleblowers were immediately fired.
The investigations were all shutdown and Sallyport apparently continued its lucrative contract with the DoD.
The ONLY support that substantiates the claim that Saraya Awliya al-Dam claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks – comes from US ‘officials’ unnamed. The story regarding the attack would seem to be a circular fed initially to AP and then picked up verbatim by other MSM outlets.
It seems a bit odd that right as Iran is working in collaboration with the UN and IAEA, they would authorize an unknown militia group to attack Iraqi Kurds and a US facility charged with protecting Iraqi F-16s. And given Sallyport has no viable website confirming the attack on them is not available.
In December, 2020 this report was released:
“Iraq’s F-16 fleet is no longer flying missions as part of the international coalition against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, according to two Iraqi officials and two coalition spokespersons — a consequence of the mismanagement and alleged corruption that continues to plague the program.
Iraq Oil Report previously reported that severe problems at Balad Airbase had crippled the F-16 fleet. By quietly dropping the Iraqi F-16s from its air tasking order, the U.S.-led Global Coalition to Defeat Daesh has effectively codified its assessment that the multi-billion-dollar program is no longer fit for combat.”
Did the US destroy an already defunct and worthless airbase after spending $1.5 billion for security alone? Did the US create a false Iran bully to justify the destruction of an airbase? Was that airbase again mired in trafficking, prostitution and glaring sale of military property for profit? Did the preponderance of irregularities need to be quashed?
Illusions are the forte of our CIA, our FBI, our military, in conjunction with bought and paid for media to support that fakery.
