We should
not expect the truth from the corrupted establishment who fiercely
fought Bernie Sanders, for example. We should expect it from someone
who supported him. Indeed, the Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who
resigned as DNC vice-chair on February 28, 2016, in order to endorse
Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination, and
actually was the first female US Representative to endorse Sanders,
'dared' to introduce bill so that the US to stop arming terrorists!
Her words
left no doubt of who is behind the dirty war in Syria and the chaos
in the Middle East:
Mr.
speaker, under US law, it is illegal for you, or me, or any American,
to provide any type of assistance to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, or other
terrorist groups. If we broke this law, we'll be thrown in jail.
Yet
the US government has been violating this law for years, directly and
indirectly supporting allies and partners of groups like Al-Qaeda and
ISIS, with money, weapons, intelligence and other support in their
fight to overthrow the Syrian government.
A
recent NY Times article, confirmed that rebel groups supported by the
US 'have entered into battlefield alliances with the affiliate of
al-Qaeda in Syria, formerly known as al Nusra.' The Wall Street
Journal reports that rebel groups are 'doubling down on their
alliance with al-Qaeda'. This alliance has rendered the phrase
'moderate rebels' meaningless.
We
must stop this madness.We must stop arming terrorists.
I'm
introducing the Stop Arming Terrorists act today, to prohibit
taxpayer dollars for being used to support terrorists.
Speaking on CNN, Gabbard specifically named CIA as the agency
that supports terrorist groups in the Middle East:
The US
government has been providing money, weapons, intel. assistance and
other types of support through the CIA, directly to these groups that
are working with and are affiliated with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Also,
Gabbard specifically named the allies through which the US assist
these terrorist groups:
We've
also been providing that support through countries like Saudi Arabia,
Turkey and Qatar ...
Speaking on NPR, Gabbard
explained that she was working on the issue of the US
interventionist, regime-change wars for years since she has been in
Congress. Therefore, her position coincides with that of Donald Trump
who repeatedly declared his opposition to these wars. This was also
the main reason for which she endorsed Bernie Sanders:
SIMON:
You and President-elect Trump are obviously of different parties. But
don't you kind of have the same position on Syria?
GABBARD:
I have heard him talk about his opposition to continuing
interventionist, regime-change wars. I want to be clear, though, that
this is an issue that I have been working on for years since I have
been in Congress. And it's one...
SIMON:
It's why you endorsed Senator Sanders, isn't it?
GABBARD:
It's - correct. It was a clear difference between Senator Sanders and
Secretary Clinton. I am hopeful that this new administration coming
in will change these policies so that we don't continue making these
destructive decisions, as have been made in the past.
This
is really a unique moment, showing the absolute failure of the US
obsolete, dirty policies and the degree of degeneration of the
'idealistic' picture of the Unites States as the number one global
power. We can't remember any moment in the past in which a
congressman was seeking to pass a bill to prohibit the US government
funding terrorists, or, a newly elected president who, in his
campaigns, was stating clearly that the previous administration
created many terrorist groups.
