15,000 'CIA MERCENARIES' IN SYRIA? CIA MERCENARIES IN NIGERIA?

Assad's forces seized these weapons in Homs.

Russia says there are 15,000 foreign "terrorists" in Syria

According to Russia, Syria's President Assad is battling al Qaeda-backed "terrorists" including at least 15,000 foreign fighters.

Reportedly, Al Qaeda are mercenaries working for the CIA. (AL QAEDA ARE MERCENARIES, LINKED TO DRUGS / CIA'S BELHAJ ON SYRIAN BORDER)

According to Russia, the al Qaeda backed terrorists will seize towns across Syria if government troops withdraw.

Russia says the terrorists have recently committed large-scale attacks on schools and hospitals.

"Rebel groups attack, kill, torture and intimidate the civilian population. The flow of all kind of terrorists from some neighbouring countries is always increasing," says Russian ambassador Lebedev.



In 2011, a Nigerian group calling itself "al-Qaeda in the land beyond the Sahil" said it had captured Chris McManus, who worked for an Italian construction firm in Nigeria.

Did he know too much about certain activities in Nigeria?

Gary Hyde

On 19 January 2012, we read of the collapse of the trial of arms dealer Gary Hyde.

Hyde had been accused of helping to organise a shipment of arms from the UK to Nigeria.

THE USA IN GHANA AND NIGERIA

Ghana - by Wieland Koerbel

"The US Africa Command is now at war on the continent of Africa.

"And not surprising, the war is about oil." (AFRICOM Goes To War In Africa -m)

Ghana made its first big oil find off the coast in 2007, and turned on the taps in 2011.

Reportedly, Mossad and the CIA are very active in oil-rich Ghana and Nigeria.


There is a fear that Ghana could become a failed state, just like Nigeria.

Politicians in both Nigeria and Ghana have their armed militias.

The CIA used militias to get control of the oil in Libya.

On 28 January 2012, at modernghana.com, Lord Aikins Adusei has written:

"Azorka Boys and Bamba Boys: the coming Boko Haram in Ghana?"

According to Adusei:

1. Nigeria's former head of state General Olusegun Obasanjo predicted that Nigeria would be counted among the 'ten leading nations in the world by the end of the (20th) century.'

But, Nigeria has become a failed state.

2. Professor Wole Soyinka, in a BBC interview, described the Boko Haram terrorist group as people from the Islamic madrassas, armed and employed by the elite in the north.

Ghana by Eli Shany אלי שני

In November 2011 some top people, including Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, were arrested after it was discovered that they had met and supported Boko Haram.

In January 2012 President Goodluck Jonathan announced that members of his own government were supporters and sympathisers of the Boko Haram terror group.

3. In the south of Nigeria, politicians also have their armed militias.

These militias steal ballot boxes and carry out assassinations.

The Area Boys attack their political opponents, rob oil tankers, and kidnap oil workers for ransom.

Ghana by Eli Shany אלי שני

4. In Ghana, the ruling NDC have their Azorka Boys.

The opposition NPP have their Bamba Boys.

The Azorka Boys and Bamba Boys are 'violent and lawless thugs' working for certain politicians.

During elections they are supplied with weapons.

Brig. Gen. Robert Ferrell, U.S. Africa Command C4 director; Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, U.S. Army Africa Commander; and Brig. Gen. Joseph Searyoh, director general of Defense Information Communication Systems, Ghana Armed Forces

5. Ghana's problems include:

Corrupt politicians, civil servants, judges and police.

Extreme poverty and inequality in the northern part of Ghana.

Politics based on tribe and religion.

A failing educational system.

Massive unemployment.

SPOOKS BOMB CHURCHES AT CHRISTMAS

Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan shakes hands with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Nigeria, 8 January 2010.

On 25 December 2011, there were bomb attacks on churches in Nigeria.

The group Boko Haram, said to be linked to the CIA and Mossad, has said that it carried out the attacks.

(Nigeria churches hit by blasts during Christmas prayers)

In 2010, Christmas Eve bombs, and attacks on churches, killed at least 86 people in Nigeria.

Boko Haram claimed it did the 2010 bombings. (Boko Haram? Reuters)

Boko Haram says it supports the CIA's al Qaeda.


In September 2011, we read that MOSSAD and the CIA were to be given the job of probing the Nigerian security agencies

The probe was to be run by Moshe Ram, a top Israeli.

Nigeria is reported to be used as a major drug transit and money laundering centre for the proceeds of the CIA drug trade. (CIA Agents & Nigeria.)

The CIA takes a strong interest in NIGERIA

Former Nigerian leader Ibrahim B. Babangida is reported to be a Mossad or CIA agent (CIA Agents & Nigeria.)

Miss Nigeria

"IBB is a Mossad/CIA asset, as was Abiola and Umar Muttalab (father of the crouch bomber and former Chairman of Nigeria's premier bank, First Bank) amongst others like Orji Uzor Kalu.

"Mossad's chief operative in Nigeria is Alon Nelken, an Israeli and owner of Megaplaza shopping mall in Victoria Islands, Lagos.

"In Nigeria, one would find a clear infiltration of foreign bodies posed as foundations and organizatonal institutions all geared toward influencing government policies in the oil and gas sectors." (THE CIA IN NIGERIA)

Who would bomb churches?

Christmas in Jakarta - Website for this image

Over the Christmas period, in Indonesia, millions of Moslems will be protecting both Christians and churches.

H.M. Nuruzzaman, of the world's biggest Moslem organisation, Nahdlatul Ulama, said a total of 2.6 million Moslems have been prepared for the deployment.

Indonesia Muslims Protect Xmas

In previous years, churches have been protected by Moslem volunteers against attacks by mysterious forces, said to be linked to members of the Indonesian military, linked to the CIA and Mossad. (MOSSAD and THE CIA TURN UP THE HEAT.)

Indonesians

19 people were killed and scores injured in a series of attacks on churches on Christmas Eve in 2000.

In February 2001, the respected Indonesian newsweekly Tempo published a cover story suggesting links between the church bombings and the Indonesian military, the TNI.

The article pointed out that Edi Sugiarto, who was quickly arrested and confessed to assembling 15 of the bombs used in the town of Medan, has long run a car repair shop in the province of Aceh, where a separatist group named GAM operated.

Members of TNI and Indonesia’s special forces, Kopassus, regularly went to his shop for repairs and just to hang out.

As a result, GAM claimed he was a TNI lackey and burned down his shop and house in 1997.

Phone records also indicated that Sugiarto called Fauzi Hasbi seven times before the bombings.

Hasbi is a leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, but Tempo outed him as an Indonesian government agent.

In 2005, two years after Hasbi’s death, the Australian television program SBS Dateline provided additional evidence of Hasbi’s long-time links to the TNI.

Fasbi also called Jacob Tanwijaya, a businessman well connected with the TNI, 35 times.

That businessman in turn talked on the phone to Lt. Col. Iwan Prilianto, a Kopassus special forces intelligence officer, over 70 times. (Source: Kopassus)

Indonesians

In Indonesia, the special forces regiment, Kopassus, works closely with Mossad (MOSSAD IN INDONESIA) and the American military.

There is evidence linking Kopassus to attacks on Christian churches in Indonesia.

"The most vicious combined operation of Coker (Chrtistian gangsters) and Kopassus was the attack on the village of Soya...

"22 houses were destroyed by fire, as well as the historic church of Soya built during Portuguese times and 12 people were killed.

"The Soya bloodbath created new tensions between Muslim and Christian communities.

"It is now clear that the attack was not the work of Muslim warriors as was thought at the time but an attack by a Christian militia gang together with Kopassus units." (aangirfan: The 'terrorism' is often linked to Christian gangsters ...)

The CIA's Allen Pope during his trial in Jakarta, 28 December 1959.

The CIA secretly bombed Christians in Indonesia, in order to topple President Sukarno.

On 15 May 1958, a CIA plane bombed the Ambon marketplace, killing a large number of civilians on their way to church on Ascension Thursday.

Three days later, during another bombing run over Ambon, a CIA pilot, Allen Lawrence Pope, was shot down and captured. (Indonesia 1957-1958 KH)

And some Anglo disinformation:

http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/november/boko-haram-nigerias-growing-new-headache/

Said it before, but... They're just not too original, these Zionist and Angloamerican snakes.

All the same old tired methods used in the NATO Strategy of Tension.

False flag terrorism with the objective of inflaming sectarian tensions and weakening the nation overall.

Of course, it's possible the snakes deigned to involve the NIA (Nigerian Intelligence Agency) too: it would help to escalate war against the MEND.

And the Nigerian government bought Israeli drones to use against the MEND "terrorists" in the Niger Delta.

Alon Nelken mediated in the weapons sale.

Boko Haram sounds very much like a Nigerian Al Qaeda, a Mossad-CIA invention designed to discredit existing legitimate opposition such as MEND.

And probably the populations of the Christian South in Nigeria swallow this ruse hook, line and sinker.

The mindless mantra again: it's them dang Muslims what's to blame.In general, the fabricated enmity du jour is Christian against Muslim.

The Indonesian way to deal with this, massive Muslim presence to protect Christians and their churches, is the way to go...

Eventually the enmities fabricated by the Ziocons will be replaced by a genuine enmity: everyone against Zionist plutocrat.

And these snakes won't have a rock to hide under.

The bastards have been screwing Africa and the rest of the world for long enough...

MOSSAD AND THE CIA IN NIGERIA

Goodluck Jonathan shakes hands with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Nigeria, 8 January 2010.

Both China and the USA-NATO take an interest in Nigeria's oil wealth.

On 5 September 2011, we read about Mossad and the CIA in Nigeria.

More Bombs have been going off in cities in Nigeria.

(AQIM Link To Suicide Bombing Of UN Building In Nigeria‎ /Bombs detonated in strife-torn city)

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan may now have agreed to Mossad and the CIA carrying out a probe Nigeria's spooks. (MOSSAD and CIA to probe Nigerian security agencies)

Reportedly the Mossad-CIA probe will be led by Moshe Ram, the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria.

Bomb attacks in Nigeria are usually blamed on the 'Islamist' group called Boko Haram, which is believed to have links to al Qaeda, which is believed to be run by the CIA and its friends.

HE WAS HOLDING MY HAND

A starving albino boy, harassed and discriminated against for the color of his skin, clutches an empty corned-beef tin at an orphanage, Biafra 1969, by Don McCullin

Photo Tractatus

1. A starving albino boy, harassed and discriminated against for the color of his skin, clutches an empty corned-beef tin at an orphanage.

Biafra 1969, by Don McCullin

"The day I came across that boy was a killer day for me.

"There were 800 dying children in that schoolhouse.

"The boy is near death. He is trying to support himself. And to see this kind of pathetic photographer appear with a Nikon around his neck.

"He was staring at me and I thought, 'I wish he wouldn't look at me, because it was really unnerving me.'

"So I went away and I was talking to one of the doctors and suddenly somebody touched my hand and he was holding my hand."

"I was on the verge of really crying."

2. "The Biafra fiasco of the late 1960s. Remember?

"The world was supposed to mobilise to defend Biafran rebels...

"Global protests prolonged the war and caused countless deaths...

"Fewer Biafrans would have starved to death if Biafran leaders had not calculated that more starvation would stir up support from human rights advocates in faraway countries."

- Stephen Kinzer, in the Guardian 31 December 2010 (End human rights imperialism now)

3. "The Biafran Genocide of 1966 to 1970 claimed 3.1 million Igbo/Biafrans because Nigeria and Britain wanted to keep Nigeria one." - Osita Ebiem, December 2010 (NIGERIA'S MANY GENOCIDES)

4. According to The Heritage Foundation, in 2004, (Addressing Nigeria's Economic Problems and the Islamist Terrorist ...):

"Recent Muslim-Christian clashes ... have left hundreds of people dead and more than 1,000 wounded...

"Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a population of 133 million in 2002.

"It is also home to the world's sixth largest Muslim population.

"It has estimated oil reserves of 27 billion barrels (over 2.6 percent of global proven reserves).

"Given Nigeria's location and ports, the country could be an economic hub for western and central Africa.

"Regrettably, political instability and military coups, combined with inept economic governance and endemic corruption, have squandered Nigeria's advantages.

"Since gaining independence in 1960, Nigeria has experienced civil war and numerous coups, with only 13 years of democratic government...

"Violence, kidnapping, sabotage, and other criminal activity in the southern oil-rich region often disrupt production - dramatically affecting an economy in which the oil sector accounted for 65 percent of budget revenue, 95 percent of exports, and 20 percent of the GDP in 2001...

"Poverty, political corruption, an absence of the rule of law, and a fractious society (250 ethnic groups and a population split between Christians and Muslims) make Nigeria ripe for exploitation...

"Nigeria has experienced increased ethnic and religious violence and tensions after 12 of the country's 36 states adopted the Islamic Shar'ia law.

"The BBC reports that over 10,000 people have died in communal and religious violence since 1999."

SPOOKS IN NIGERIA

Miss Nigeria

In 2010, Christmas Eve bombs, and attacks on churches, killed at least 86 people in Nigeria.

A mad 'Islamist' group called Boko Haram claims it did the bombings. (Boko Haram? Reuters)

Boko Haram says it supports the CIA's al Qaeda.



Before he was 'killed', Mohammed Yusuf was leader of Boko Haram.

Analysts say he was very wealthy and highly educated. (BBC - Nigeria's 'Taliban' enigma)

"He is graduate educated and very proficient in English," said Nigerian academic Hussain Zakaria.

"He lives lavishly - people say he drives a Mercedes Benz. And he is very well-educated in a Western context."

Did he receive money and help from the CIA and its friends in Saudi, Israeli and Indian intelligence?

The aim of the CIA and its friends may be to keep Nigeria weak, divided and easy to exploit; and to frustrate the Chinese and Russians in Nigeria.

The Moslem and Christian leaders in Nigeria want peace.

They blame political forces for stirring up conflict (Jos bombing: Politicians 'fuel Nigeria unrest')

The CIA is active in Nigeria. (NIGERIA'S UNDERWEAR MAN?)

'CIA asset' General Ibrahim Babangida, the man the CIA reportedly wants as Nigeria's president.

THIS is what we wrote in October 2010:

Nigeria would be a success story, if it was not for the CIA and other trouble makers.

Nigeria is being helped by high oil prices, a lot of foreign investment and the gradual liberalisation of its economy.

But, certain people may be stirring up trouble.

There appears to be a war going on for Nigeria's oil.

Car bombs. (AFP)

There have been talks between Nigeria and a Chinese oil company.

China hopes to grab certain oil blocks from western energy groups, Shell, Chevron, Total and ExxonMobil.

Goodluck Jonathan, now Nigeria's president, shakes hands with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Abuja, capital of Nigeria, 8 January 2010.

If the Chinese state-controlled oil company's bids are accepted this will double China’s oil reserves in Africa. (China seeks a sixth of Nigeria's oil reserves - Telegraph / China's oil talks with Nigeria: the unanswered questions FT ...)

Obama Senior. On 17 August 2010, at voltairenet, Wayne Madsen "documented the connections between Barack Obama, Sr. and CIA-affiliated operations in Kenya." (OBAMA'S FATHER AND THE CIA )

On 1 October 2010, Bombs rattled Independence day in Nigeria

The car bomb explosions killed eight people in Lagos, Nigeria's capital.

Former President, General Ibrahim Babangida, allegedly a CIA asset, was the only past Nigerian leader absent at the Independence Day ceremony. (IBB, Atiku absent at celebration)

UK VIPs pulled out ahead of the deadly Nigeria parade. "The Queen's representative was due to attend but did not. Ex-PM Gordon Brown cancelled his visit to the country."

The Duke of Gloucester did not attend.

MEND, Nigeria's Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, Nigeria's biggest rebel militia, reportedly warned it had planted bombs.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan was quoted by AFP news agency as saying: "It has nothing to do with Mend."

MEND wants a greater share of oil revenues to go to the impoverished Niger Delta, home to Africa's biggest oil and gas industry.

Reportedly, MEND has struck at off-shore oil installations.

In 2009, an amnesty was agreed with rebels in the Delta.

MEND may have been infiltrated by a certain group.

Allegedly, in Nigeria, the CIA is "positioning Ibrahim B. Babangida to return to power." (CIA Agents & Nigeria.)

Orji Kalu, linked to a mysterious death. He may be Babangida's running mate.

The CIA may want Ibrahim Babangida standing as the presidential candidate and Orji Uzor Kalu as his running mate.

General Ibrahim Babangida ruled Nigeria from his coup against Muhammadu Buhari in 1985 until his departure in 1993.

Allegedly, Babangida is a CIA asset.

"The CIA cut a deal with Babangida, where Nigeria was used as a major drug transit and money laundering center for the proceeds of the CIA drug trade." (CIA Agents & Nigeria.)

Orji Uzor Kalu was a candidate for President of Nigeria in the April 2007 general election. [1]

(Maryland police cleared Orji Uzor Kalu of involvement in the death of a woman, Chinwe Masi at his residence in Maryland, USA.)

"Reports say, Kalu drives into CIA Virginia Headquarters freely, with little on no clearance required of him as expected of visitors at CIA headquarters; sources told RR that only CIA agents and its operatives can have such access in that CIA Virginia facility, others pointed that Orji Uzor Kalu is in proximity to CIA Virgina headquarters, ‘he is their boy’ another commentator who spoke on condition of anonymity added." (CIA Agents & Nigeria.)

Reportedly, Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian 'underwear bomber', bound for Detroit, was doing the work of the CIA and Mossad.

According to the writer at CIA Agents & Nigeria. :

Former dictator Ibrahim Babangida and Kalu may be CIA operatives (Moshood Abiola too) who assisted the US, with drug trafficking.

The CIA may want Ibrahim Babangida standing as the presidential candidate and Orji Uzor Kalu as his running mate.

Reportedly, the CIA did not want Chinwe Masi's mysterious death in Kalu’s Mansion to become a distraction to the “CIA Nigeria Roadmap”.

If Nigeria becomes balkanised (broken up along tribal lines) by 2015 or earlier as predicted by the CIA, the US will use its AFRICOM to protect the oil-wells.

In 1986, the Time Magazine reported that during the Reagan administration, the U.S had the elite commando unit, the SEALS, dispatched to several different countries for covert activities.

This unit was in Nigeria in August 1985, during the week that Babangida overthrew Muhammadu Buhari.

General Buhari

After the coup, the CIA cut a deal with Babangida, where Nigeria was used as a major drug transit and money laundering center for the proceeds of the CIA drug trade.

The phony or rogue bank, BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) was used to launder the proceeds of the drug business and take them out of the country.

Babangida’s loot left the country through this bank. Remember that branches of this bank were everywhere in Lagos and the North.

Journalist Dele Giwa stumbled on this information about drugs and was about to break the news when, in 1986, he was killed by a mail bomb.

Dele Giwa

Toward the end of 1986, or 1987, Babangida was given a “Strategic” award, by the Heritage Foundation.

There was an explosion of drug activities during Babangida’s regime.

It was during Babangida’s regime that most of the wealth was looted.

"Monumental kleptocrat and notorious dictator" General Sani Abacha, President of Nigeria from 1993 to 1998. He was trained at the Defence Officers cadet Training College in Aldershot, England.

Abacha and Abiola may have been killed with the assistance of the CIA.

The only leader that Nigerian people ever elected was Abiola.

Moshood Abiola (1937 – 1998) ran for the presidency in 1993, and won, but remained President-Elect till his death, as he was denied his mandate when the election results were annulled by the preceding military president Ibrahim Babangida.

Nigeria needs the likes of Nuhu Ribadus, Gani Fawhinmis, Tai Solarins, Mohammed Buharis and Babatunde Idiagbons.

Most of Nigeria's problems, especially the Niger Delta, can be traced back to LONDON AND WASHINGTON, through their multinational corporations.

RUSSIA IN NIGERIA


(Click here for the interactive version of this map. AFRICOM gets a budget boost)

Nigeria and Russia are doing deals in nuclear energy and in oil and gas.

And there may be military cooperation.

(Russia-Nigeria Nuclear Deal To Be Signed During Medvedev Trip)

In June 2009, Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev becomes the first Kremlin leader to visit Nigeria.

A joint venture between Gazprom and Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. will be signed.

The nuclear agreement "is for cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy especially for the purpose of electricity."

Russia and Nigeria signed an agreement on March 2009 to cooperate in building nuclear reactors and jointly explore for uranium.

"Other potential areas of cooperation will also be discussed, including military and technical cooperation," said a diplomat, who added that there was already "huge" and growing cooperation between the two countries.

China is now Africa's second largest aid donor and trading partner, behind the United States.

"But Russia, the second most-active emerging-market power, is gaining." (A Battle Over Africa's Riches. )

During the Soviet era, several African countries were considered "socialism oriented" - Algeria, Libya, Zimbabwe, Guinea Bissau, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Benin, Congo (Brazzaville), Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, Mali, Zambia and Cape Verde. Besides, Sudan, Ghana, Somalia and Guinea were also considered socialist earlier. (RUSSIA: Chasing China in Africa)
