WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange today said the CIA was responsible for paving the way for ISIS as the whistle blowing organisation released more than half a million formerly confidential US diplomatic cables dating back to 1979.
On the sixth anniversary of the first infamous "Cablegate" by WikiLeaks, when it releases its first batch of sensitive US files, on November 28 2010, it has expanded its Public Library of US Diplomacy (PLUSD) with 531,525 new diplomatic cables from 1979.
In a statement to coincide with the release of the cables, known as "Carter Cables III", Mr Assange explained how events which unfolded in 1979, had begun a series of events that led to the rise of ISIS.
He said: "If any year could be said to be the "year zero" of our modern era, 1979 is it."
Mr Assange said a decision by the CIA, together with Saudi Arabia, to plough billions of dollars into arming the Mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan to tackle the Soviet Union, had led to the creation of terror group al-Qaeda.
This, in turn, he said led to the 9/11 terror strikes, the invasion of Afghanhistan and Iraq by the US, and the creation of ISIS.
Speaking about how 1979 shaped current global events, Mr Assange said: "In the Middle East, the Iranian revolution, the Saudi Islamic uprising and the Egypt-Israel Camp David Accords led not only to the present regional power dynamic but decisively changed the relationship between oil, militant Islam and the world.
"The uprising at Mecca permanently shifted Saudi Arabia towards Wahhabism, leading to the transnational spread of Islamic fundamentalism and the US-Saudi destabilisation of Afghanistan."
He said at this point Osama bin Laden left his native Saudi Arabia for Pakistan to support the Afghan Mujahideen.
He added: "The invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR would see Saudi Arabia and the CIA push billions of dollars to Mujahideen fighters as part of Operation Cyclone, fomenting the rise of al-Qaeda and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.

"The 1979 current of Islamification spread to Pakistan where the US embassy was burned to the ground and Pakistan Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was executed.
"The Iranian hostage crisis would go on to fatally undermine Jimmy Carter's presidency and see the election of Ronald Reagan.
"The rise of al-Qaeda eventually bore the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, enabling the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and over a decade of war, leaving, at its end, the ideological, financial and geographic basis for ISIS."
The election of Margaret Thatcher as British Prime Minister and the Three Mile Island nuclear incident are some of the incidents during the year cited by Assange.
/// It sure did in the 79 time frame.
The CIA has a long history of self-funding wars by selling drugs to American kids. ///
Think about this one: by encouraging drug use in the black community, along with the simultaneous sentencing differences (e.g. crack vs cocaine), contributes to the decline of the black family with so many black males in prison for drug offenses, along with socialist government welfare taking the place of men, further undermining the family.
Then BLM etc manipulates blacks into going lone wolf into murdering cops, which will eventually cause more of a police state (than already exists).
We are all being herded (conservatives, BLM, Antifa, feminists, blacks, etc) by the Deep State, to atomize the culture and undermine the family so that all cultures will be the same around the world, and thus easier to control through a globalist, socialist police state.
That’s why you should use professionals, like Blackwater or whatever they are called now.
Pretty sure he/she meant Carter (current) and Reagan (nice older guy), back when he was a kid.
no. I am a grouchy idiot and I apologize
“...Democrats are a plague....”
Indeed they are. Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease. One of the many symptoms, besides insanity, is that they lack the ability to deal with reality or the truth. Some are a little more insane than others, but rest assured: they’re frickin’ insane! And we have to co-exist with these morons? Yeah.....riiiight.
Agreed. But the headline is misleading in that it makes it sound like the CIA deliberately created ISIS. THat’s not the case. Sure, that’s indirectly what happened. But that’s like saying Franz Ferdinand created World War I. Yes and no.

We still deserve the truth no matter WHERE it may lead.
Otherwise we are not a “Self governed republic”
Chances are WWII never would have happened. Adolph Hitler would have never risen to power.
Even if the Japanese would have still attacked the US, That war would have been a lot less intense.
The Soviet Union would have never expanded like it did, in the vacuum of a destroyed Germany.
Who was our president in 1979?
Jimmy Carter - Wikipedia

I am VERY free market, but history has shown that when you privatize war, some rather bad things happen. For one thing, you create the situation where a merc will work to START conflicts in order to make more employment opportunities.
Duhhh
It would be more than interesting if some study was conducted, to find out how many of those with mental illness are registered Democrats as opposed to Republicans. This could be done without ID’ing anyone. I am really surprised this has not been done. My bet would be on the overall majority of those with varying degrees of mental illness, are democrats.
This is because of leaked US Intel; Of course Julian has done no more, no less they Hillary. Maybe they can spend enternity together.
Lol. At first glance, I thought your picture was of a 1963 Avanti, my dream car. The forward slant on the front is similar, but I believe the back end is way different.
Y’all have more in common, patriotically speaking. see your profiles. Truly, dp— an American story of patriotic naturalized American citizens, WWII in the old country, and deep love and respect for our institutions. Speaking as a keeper of oathes— we need you both. Deo Vindice, from a cold warrior son of a cold warrior.
You can say that again.
Lost my Dad(massive heart attack) and best friend Matt (horrific car accident) that year.
I was 16, it was rough but it probably made me stronger. I still miss them both.
Eternal rest grant unto William(Dad) and Matt O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and all the souls
of the faithfully departed
through the Mercy of God
rest in peace.
Thank you very much.
It’s a great country!
