Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter five-year-old civil war.

The fighting has intensified over the last two months, as CIA-armed units and Pentagon-armed ones have repeatedly shot at each other while maneuvering through contested territory on the northern outskirts of Aleppo, U.S. officials and rebel leaders have confirmed.

“It is part of the three-dimensional chess that is the Syrian battlefield" -Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank)

i wonder if the Syrian people will read this article and think twice about why they are killing each other in the first place?

i wonder if the people of uS can ever understand that this psychological operations used over there can be used right here? And that all devisive media drivel is just that, psyops, whose strings of influence extend far beyond the corners of MIC, UN/NATO and beyond, and to far reaches in time; to have us fight each other like them, blacks vs. whites, gays vs. straight, nationals against immigrants/illegals, Cops vs. people, state vs. patriots, D vs R, etc, etc, etc,?

i wonder if the chessmasters can play with pawns who don't know the rules of the game?

If they own us as property, they are our masters, and their will is our law. If they do not own us as property, they are not our masters, and their will, as such, is of no authority over us. - Lysander Spooner
