Islamic State commander confesses to receiving funding through U.S. [Yeah, don’t forget the multiple food and weapons drops to I-CIA-SIS, too!] | 28 Jan 2015 | Yousaf al Salafi — allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish — has confessed during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United States. Law enforcing agencies on January 22 claimed that they arrested al Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However, sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last year and it was only disclosed on January 22. “During the investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding — routed through America — to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,” a source privy to the investigations revealed to Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.
Pentagon documents: Obama to request big defense budget hike | 27 Jan 2015 | President Barack Obama will ask Congress for a hefty, almost 8 percent boost for the Pentagon, including 5.3 billion to equip and train Iraqi soldiers and moderate Syrian ‘rebels’ to fight create more Islamic State militants in the Middle East. Obama will ask for 534 billion for the core budget of the Defense Department — a 38 billion increase — according to “pre-decisional” Pentagon documents obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. That means there could be some slight changes when the budget actually comes out Monday…Another 51 billion would go for overseas military missions, including 43 billion for ongoing operations in Afghanistan [to protect the CIA’s opi-m production] and 3.8 billion to ‘train’ Afghan security forces.
Is the worm turning?
