(LD) - Hundreds of heavily armed terrorists have crossed from the Philippines
and landed in the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah. Dozens are already dead, and
the
Malaysian military has brought in aircraft and armor to confront the
audacious, bizarre invasion, scattering militants into the jungles of Borneo
island. A seemingly headline news event, the invasion has been downplayed and
spun by the Western media, many calling militant Al Qaeda-linked terrorists, an
"armed Filipino clan."

....
The West's woeful, irresponsible
coverage of a burgeoning region-wide destabilization, fits in nicely with its
coverage of US-Saudi funded/armed terrorism around the world, including in Syria
where US-funded terrorists of the so-called "Free Syrian Army" have just taken
dozens
of UN peacekeepers hostage in the Golan Heights - just days after the US
announced it would fund the terrorists further, to the tune of $60 million and
the West's Arab partners have just granted the terrorist faction Syria's seat at
the "Arab League."
Terrorists are US-Saudi
Funded Extremists - Part of Engineered Destabilization.
While the
West pleads ignorance over the identity of the militants held up in the jungles
of Malaysia's Sabah state, the militant organizations themselves have declared
thousands
more in reinforcements are being arranged in the Philippines to join and
exasperate the conflict. The Free Malaysia Today newspaper reported in its
article, "
10,000
Tausugs to sail to Sabah," that :
Thousands of Tausug from Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
have sailed to Sabah to reinforce members of the so-called royal army of the
sultanate of Sulu who are fighting it out with Malaysian security forces, a Moro
National Liberation Front official said Tuesday.
The Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) of course, is one of several of Al Qaeda's franchises in
Southeast Asia, and spun off the notorious terrorist organization, Abu Sayyaf, a
US State
Department-listed foreign terrorist organization with direct ties to Al
Qaeda.
The Philippines' terrorist organizations, located amongst the
country's southern islands have long held ties to Al Qaeda and receive funding
and support from Saudi Arabia. AFP reported in their 2010 article, "
WikiLeaks:
US suspected Saudi ambassador to the Philippines of terror link," that:
The United States suspected a Saudi Arabian ambassador
to the Philippines of potential involvement in funding terrorists, according to
US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks this week.
The report
would also state:
Francis Townsend cited Waly’s intervention to secure the
release of two members of an Islamic charity detained in the Philippines, the
cable showed.
The group was suspected of funnelling funds to
Al-Qaeda-linked groups based in the southern Philippines.
It
continued stating:
The February 24, 2007, US embassy cable named the
charity suspected of terror financing in the Philippines as IIRO, which stands
for the International Islamic Relief Organisation.
Intelligence agencies have
said IIRO was set up by Muhammad Jamal Khalifa, a brother-in-law of Al-Qaeda
chief Osama bin Laden.
The report concluded by stating:
Overall, the WikiLeaks cables singled out Saudi Arabia
as the key source of funding for radical Islamist groups including Al-Qaeda, the
Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hamas.
Saudi Arabia is of course is
the chief financier of Al Qaeda, and is currently leading efforts to fund, arm,
and fill the ranks of Al Qaeda's franchises from Mali and Libya, to Syria and
Iraq. A multitude of reports from across the West have identified Saudi Arabia
as the lynch pin in Al Qaeda's global terror campaign, including the US Army
West Point Combating Terrorism Center.
Its reports "
Al-Qa'ida's
Foreign Fighters in Iraq" and "
Bombers,
Bank Accounts and Bleedout: al-Qa'ida's Road In and Out of Iraq," identify a
vast terrorist network maintained by the Saudis that recruits, arms, and funds
terrorists from across the Muslim World, and can funnel a mercenary army into
any desired nation. At the time, the desired nation was Iraq. In 2011, it was
Libya. Today it is Syria. The same network that US soldiers fought in Iraq
is
verifiably in use today, in support of US regime-change operations in Syria.
And while it is acknowledged across even the
Western mainstream media that Saudi Arabia is a notorious state-sponsor of
terrorism, including the terrorists allegedly behind the September 11, 2001
attacks that left 3,000 Americans dead, the US has had a decades-long, deep
economic and military relationship with the despotic Arabian
autocracy.
The US maintains permanent military bases inside Saudi Arabia,
funds the Saudi military, and has recently
concluded
the largest arms deal in US history with the Saudis. Additionally, Saudi
Arabia's brutally repressive internal security apparatus is
a creation of US advisers and
operators.
The Saudi royal family and the elite amongst the US
corporate-financier Fortune 500, have maintained deep financial and political
ties as well. Saudi Arabian corporate-financier interests (run by the royal
family) are tied directly to Wall Street and London via conglomerations like the
US-Saudi
Arabian Business Council and representation upon the JP Morgan International
Council (
Khalid
Al-Falih of Saudi Aramco, amongst the highest valued companies on
Earth).
This also includes the Bin Laden family, whose multi-billion
dollar
Saudi
Binladin Group is an active member of the US-Saudi Arabian Business Council
and plays a central role in deciding bilateral policy for the benefit of
collective US-Saudi corporate-financier and corresponding geopolitical
interests. At one point, the Bin Ladens and the Bush family sat around the same
table,
as
both families were involved in the equity firm, Carlyle. In fact, Bush and
Bin Laden family members
were
clicking champagne glasses together in Washington on 9/11, an event that
would make both families immensely rich in the coming decade.
It is
clear, most acutely in Libya and Syria, that the use of Saudi Arabia's global Al
Qaeda mercenary army serves both Saudi Arabia's interests as well as Western
geopolitical ambitions, including to exact regime change around the world. And
it just so happens that the West and Saudi Arabia both seek regime change in
currently Russo-Iranian-Chinese friendly Malaysia.
West
Attempts to Install Client Regime in Malaysia
The West has been
propping up Malaysian opposition candidate Anwar Ibrahim for years.
Anwar
Ibrahim, head of Malaysia's opposition coalition, which includes the Malaysian
Islamic Party (PAS), has spent a lifetime in the service of Western interests.
Anwar
Ibrahim was Chairman of the Development Committee of the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998, held lecturing positions at the
School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, was a
consultant to the World Bank, and a panelist at the
Neo-Con
lined National Endowment for Democracy's "
Democracy
Award" and a panelist
at
a NED donation ceremony - the very same US organization whose subsidiaries
are funding and supporting Bersih, a faux-pro-democracy
Western-funded
street movement that in fact was created by, and in the service of Anwar
Ibrahim's political ambitions.
Bersih's street activism fits into a
global pattern of Western-backed "color revolutions," where meddling in
sovereign nation's political processes to install Western-client regimes is
disguised as "democracy promotion."
Anwar Ibrahim's affiliations with
Malaysian "Islamists," the already active political subversion his US State
Department-funded Bersih movement is sowing in Malaysia's streets, and his
Western backers' habitual support for terrorism internationally as a
geopolitical tool, raises the possibility that his opposition movement is
complicit in the conveniently timed militant destabilization Malaysia now faces,
only months before 2013's general elections.
This may be why the Western
media refuses to properly cover an otherwise very noteworthy conflict. The fact
that these militants are emanating from long-time US ally, the Philippines, and
the Philippines' current role in assisting the US "pivot" towards Asia, and more
specifically facilitating a proxy confrontation with China, illustrates the
greater regional implications at play. The US intends to install client regimes
in
Myanmar
led by Aung San Suu Kyi,
Thailand
led by Thaksin Shinawatra's despotic political dynasty, and
in
Malaysia led by Anwar Ibrahim. Together, this front will then be turned
against Chinese interests as part of
a
long-planned desire to encircle and contain China.
It will be done so
under
ASEAN and at the cost of Asia's stability and prosperity.
The future
of Asia hangs in the balance, and therefore conflicts like Malaysia's battle
against armed extremists in Sabah may not be covered by the Western press, but
it must be covered by the alternative press. The unhinged insanity that is now
spilling blood on Malaysia's shores, also represented by the West's proxy Anwar
Ibrahim and his attempts to provoke street protests against the ruling
government, illustrates just how dangerous the current Anglo-American
international order is, and how far its reach extends.
We must
identify
the corporate-financier interests driving this agenda, - interests we most
likely patronize on a daily basis,
and
both boycott and
permanently
replace them to erode the unwarranted influence they have used, and will
continue to use against people the world over.
