  It is a secret for the nobody like you and I. It seems logic. Or to the example of Quilligrapher you want to nail me. If it is your goal don't bother, you will lose. If you are searching for the truth then go and inform yourself. But don't come here, and try to make me the fool that I am not. Many tried and burned their wings, like Icarus. Go to an independent source.

  Good evening, Max.
  
  Following your advice, I have gone forth and informed myself. I have learned your OP statement is a lie.
  
  “The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is an Islamist insurgent group active in both Iraq and Syria that pledged allegiance to al Qaeda in 2004.” {1} In other words, they are mercenaries being paid by Sunni sympathizers to create havoc among the Shiite factions in Iraq and Syria.
  
  There is no evidence that the US government supports this group. Typically, you are unable to prove your claims are true. I do not believe you can prove this claim either.

  It's laziness and long term disbelief. I haven't found any proof of any of your claims for some time now, and HAVE seen them thoroughly debunked. Why, then, would I spend time looking for proof when experience says there isn't any? You know where you got your information, you can provide a link as easily as you can call names...so do so and save me the trouble. Or don't, whereupon it's another indication that you've made something up.

  There is an entire industry (primarily on the web, but also in print) that makes this stuff up; that creates and falsifies documents and reports in order to conjure a supposed trail of evidence.
  
  The sources (like the evidence) would be, to you or me or to most people, transparently falsified and equally transparently the work of activists seeking to either disparage or damage the US and its allies.
  
  As such, the sources cannot be provided.

  Hello again, Max.
  
  Yes, I read where Mr. Tutu asked President Bush to demonstrate he had the moral character necessary to apologize for the US attack on Iraq.
  
  How transparent to change the subject to Tutu and Bush!
  I, for one, am still focused the claim in the OP that the US financed terrorism. The followers of this tread have been asking for evidence. If you have no proof, and you know you have no proof, then we must all agree the OP statement is a lie; a lie with your name on it; a lie that you own.
  
  Show us the evidence if you have any. Otherwise, follow the message of Bishop Tutu: demonstrate the moral character necessary to admit the premise in the OP statement is untrue.

Regardless of whose doing what to whom,it's the tax dollars Americans are giving to these criminals (representatives) every year that keep funding this disaster.The money is not growing on trees,without taxpayer funding the wheels would come to a screeching halt.But for some reason, a majority of Americans just don't get it,or maybe they don't want to.It's amazing how much can be accomplished by giving the monkey a banana or by throwing the dog a bone.

Here are a few comments by Thierry Meyssan,founder and chairman of Voltaire Network and the Axis for Peace Conference:

"... Ankara not only actively supported terrorism in Syria, but did so as part of a NATO strategy"

"....Therefore, if we can allow that most of the leaders of the Atlantic Alliance were unaware of the support of their organization for international terrorism, we must also allow that NATO is mainly responsible for world terrorism."

  G’evening, Max. I hope you had a wonderful day.
  
  I see where you wrote, “I am disgusted that MY government blew up 3,000 of my compatriots.”
  
  I tend to be disgusted by the endless claims of injustice, all without a shred of evidence. In a civilized society, liable and slanderous accusations need to be accompanied by factual, verifiable evidence. Otherwise, they are ignored and discarded as fallacious or hearsay. There is no reason to believe the claims are true when the accuser can not provide any evidence.
  
  When one poster repeatedly makes derogatory statements like this one and then refuses to submit factual, verifiable evidence, then there is no reason to believe anything printed by this poster is true.
  
  I suspect this claim is just another in a long string of false and unreliable posts. Show us your undeniable proof that this claim is true, if you have any.
  
  Thanks for listening, Max. I will catch up with you later.

wilderness,
I am taking a short break from my work,and so I am sending this reply.
You have asked for me to prove that the world is round.When I have only the word of another man;When I have only seen pictures and video taken by someone else; when I have read in a book that this is so.But I cannot prove it to you,because where would I begin? The words that I read could have been lies,and the pictures and the videos photoshopped or edited in After Effects, or Sony Vegas.

You ask for proof of crimes and the names of criminals.When I can only tell you what I have seen with my own eyes; when I can only confess that from 1974-1981, I was a member of the U.S. armed forces; that among other things,while at sea,the United States taxpayers paid me to throw garbage and refuse, everyday,into the Pacific Ocean.I would stand at the fantail and watch the black garbage bags floating as far as the eye could see, in the wake of the U.S.S. Proteus AS-19.(Submarine Tender)

How can I explain to you that every U.S. Navy ship since the beginning of the department, has, and still continues, to pollute the worlds oceans in this manner.There were a thousand men on our ship.But I suggest the words of a million would not satisfy you.

In spite of the fact that every state in the union has laws criminalizing the pollution of the environment,I am confident that you will not see this as a crime,nor the theft of Diego Garcia, or the killing that has continued unabated for 500 years,so I will not try to convince you.Nor will I try to prove the shame that I feel for participating in the destruction of the Earth; only for the sake of a dollar and an honorable discharge.

Today the ocean is a cesspool,but I have my piece of paper; proof that crime does pay; even crimes against humanity.But I am no hero for making this confession.I had my chance to say no, and to defy an evil authority; I could have been a hero,and done the honorable thing,but I was a coward,just like the other nine hundred and nintey nine.Osiyo!
