The Road to Blowback: Notes on Kata’ib Hezbollah and a Potential FF Attack in Iraq

by Scott Creighton

Supposedly the Kata'ib Hezbollah group are opposed to the United States being in Iraq and have been attacking our troops since their foundation. However... they were part of Nouri al Maliki's security forces and the PMUs that were carrying out our Salvador Option in Iraq killing and disappearing dissidents... those opposed to U.S. occupation. Nouri was OUR GUY and Kata'ib Hezbollah protected him.

'Both during and after the American-led occupation of Iraq (2003–2011), al-Maliki worked closely with the Multi-National Force (MNF–I), and continued to cooperate with the United States following the withdrawal from Iraq.' Wikipedia

Remember... we created the mujahideen to destabilize Soviet Union involvement with Afghanistan and afterward they became al Qaeda (or 'the list' of mercenaries we could count on to destabilize other nations... run by bin Laden)... a former member of has now been installed as the leader of Syria.

' The Mujahideen were a collection of various, often fragmented, Afghan rebel groups that fought against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. They received significant support, including weapons and funding, from the United States, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries.' Google AI

Why would an institution that has done nothing to hinder our continued occupation of Iraq for all these years, a group who were then used to help destabilize Syria, all of a sudden start attacking U.S. military bases as the U.S. and Israel seek to regime change Iran?

Ideologically, the GMCIR is staunchly anti-Maliki and anti-Iranian. It opposes the significant role played by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-organized militias such as Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq and Kata’ib Hezbollah in the Iraqi security forces. [4] The GMCIR’s first public declaration on January 15 outlined its political program. This declaration emphasized that the GMCIR is an Iraqi nationalist, non-sectarian movement that is drawn from Iraq’s tribes and that it seeks the removal of Nuri al-Maliki as prime minister of Iraq. The GMCIR also seeks support from the people of southern Iraq (i.e. Shi’a Arab tribesmen) to help remove al-Maliki from power. [5] GMCIR members assert that the second-in-command of the organization is a Shi’a from southern Iraq and that the GMCIR is actively seeking the assistance of southern Iraqi Shi’a tribes in Basra, Dhi Qar and Maysan, which they claim are as disenfranchised by al-Maliki’s government as they are. [6]

According to GMCIR members and media produced by the organization, the rank-and-file of the GMCIR consists of predominately Arab and Sunni tribal fighters, including a significant number of Sahwa (Awakening) council veterans mobilized as part of the “Sons of Iraq” and Iraqi military officers that served in the Iraqi Army prior to its May 2003 disbandment by Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 2. [7] GMCIR members state that the majority of its first cohort of fighters were local protestors, mainly from Anbar governorate, that actively demonstrated against the al-Maliki government and decided to join an armed uprising against the Iraqi government following the December 2013 arrest of popular Anbari MP and member of the Iraqiya bloc, Ahmad al-Awlani, and the ongoing Iraqi security force operations that resulted in Anbari protestors being fired on (Reuters, December 28, 2013).

None of this makes any sense until you understand how irregular warfare works. Proxy armies can carry out activities that regular forces can't and in some cases won't do. And if there is enough distance between the puppets and their controllers almost anything can be justified in the wake of their actions.

Does 9/11 ring any bells?

Trump needs to move much farther than simply targeting a few empty nuclear sites. It's not about Iran building a nuke. They never were and Trump and Bibi Netanyahu know that.

So did Tulsi Gabbard.

This is still about Operation Rising Lion or regime change in Iran replacing their elected officials with a monarch, the son of the Shah of Iran.

It wont be enough to bring Iran back to the negotiating table. They can dismantle every nuclear reactor in the nation and it wont stop the attacks because Israel and now the U.S. have larger ambitions.

Congress is still moving forward with their efforts to stop Trump from attacking Iran on his own accord. He can do so only if he can prove there is an imminent threat to our nation... not Israel.

They can't wait for congress or Iran to complete whatever actions they have planned which makes me worried that the potential for a false flag attack on U.S. interests (bases or businesses) in Iraq is present.

After such an attack it will be nearly impossible for congress to hinder the president's efforts and his illegal attack on Iran will simply fade into black... down the memory hole.

'Blowback' they will call it.

Heard that before?
