Question for ISIS:  Where'd you get all those swords?

     Okay, so what?  So what if you've just joined ISIS, been given a sword and been sent off to Syria and Iraq.  So what if you now have a huge bloody sword in your hand and you've just cut off somebody's head?  Big freaking deal.  You're the one that will be going to Hell, not me.  But what I want to know is this:  Where, exactly, did you get that huge bloody sword in the first place?  "Swords R Us"?

     From your local "Samurai of the Desert" katana convenience store?

     To find out who is really financing, training and supplying ISIS, just check out who is supplying its swords.

     "Made in China"?  Of course.  Isn't everything these days.  But who are the swords being shipped to?

     Syrians aren't supplying the swords.  Syrians stand solidly behind Assad -- as evidenced by their June elections, and also by the fact that almost all Syrian internal refugees flee to Assad refugee camps, and no one, I repeat, no one ever flees off to ISIS. 

     Syrians hate ISIS -- almost as much as they hate being beheaded!  Plus ISIS is still beheading their fathers and mothers and nephews and cousins and aunts.  How can you possibly become BFFs with someone like that?  Let alone give them more swords so that they can go after your wives and kids too? http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2014/09/26/fighting-isil-is-a-smokescreen-for-us-mobilization-against-syria-and-iran.html

    According to a new Tweet just sent out from Kurdish Syria, "Hoped American planes will help us.  Instead American tanks in the hands of ISIS are killing us."

     And Libya isn't supplying the swords either.  Why?  Because Libya itself just had its head handed to it on a platter too -- courtesy of the dread Sword of NATO.  All that those American-backed "rebels" now in charge of the failed state of Libya are supplying ISIS with currently are some used American rocket launchers and RPGs left over from Benghazi, and a bunch of guys trained by the US to behead Gaddafi.

     But perhaps Saudi Arabia is supplying the swords?  After all, their state symbol is two swords and a palm tree.  But I still don't understand why the Saudis would do such a dumb thing -- buy entire shipments of swords to give to creepy guys hovering right outside their borders?  Aren't the Saudis afraid of blow-back?  http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/30/isis-bomb-muslim-world-air-strikes-saudi-arabia

     Aren't the Saudi princes afraid that "Behead like a Pirate" day might be coming to Riyadh too?

     And isn't it bad enough already that a bunch of Saudis got their hands on those box-cutters over on the other side of the Atlantic back in 2001 -- and just look at all the mischief that caused!  http://whowhatwhy.com/2014/10/05/the-hidden-government-group-linking-jfk-watergate-iran-contra-and-911/  Can Saudis really be trusted to play well with swords right in their very own backyards?  Saudi Arabia is about to find out. 

     And how about Turkey?  Seen any bloody swords stamped "Made in Istanbul" lately?  But why would the Turks want to do that?  The blow-back there would be even more immense.  You'd have to be crazy to arm a horde of ISIS madmen to go next door and cut off your Syrian neighbors' heads -- no matter how much you hate Syrians.  Oops, too late.  http://www.hawarnews.com/english/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2587:turkish-troops-attack-vigil-and-send-military-equipment-to-isis&catid=1:news&Itemid=2  Turkey has already supplied ISIS with every kind of weapon you can think of -- and then naively hired ISIS to be its Neighborhood Watch.  http://dissidentvoice.org/2014/10/u-s-alliance-with-fsa-and-isil-in-six-photographs/#more-55881 

     But apparently Turkey thinks that by supplying weapons to ISIS (and also establishing a no-fly zone over Syria) that Syria will fail too and then Turkey will get the Ottoman empire back.  http://muslimvillage.com/2014/09/28/58258/turkey-changes-posture-after-hostage-release/

     Sorry, Turkey.  It's heads.  You lose.

     But what about Israel?  Did Israeli neo-cons supply all those swords?  Who will ever know?  Who the freak ever knows what Israeli neo-cons are up to?  Certainly not the Jews who first hired them.  And definitely not me.  Ask the Mossad.  But a fly on the wall at Mossad headquarters would probably hear something like this:  "Those stupid Americans actually think that we are their only friends in the Middle East.  However, before we came along America had no enemies there at all.  Good job, guys!"  Followed by a high-five.

     The nightmare of having ISIS swordsmen let loose to create panic and havoc in the Arab world sounds like an Israeli neo-con wet dream to me.

     And what about American neo-cons?  Nah.  Their most important product is weapons, sure, but they prefer selling Tomahawks rather than swords. 

     "But Jane," you might say, "American weapons-manufacturers will sell anything to anyone, even swords to ISIS, if it will make them a buck."  Hell, they'd even sell drones to the Taliban if they thought that money was involved.  They'd sell out America in a heartbeat for money.  They'd probably even behead their own mothers for a few dollars more.  http://antiwar.com/blog/2014/09/26/the-boomerang-effect-how-foreign-policy-changes-domestic-policy/

    According to former Austrian general Matthias Ghalem, several years ago Al Qaeda wannabes "signed a financial-military contract to confront upcoming military and security challenges in southern Syria in the future...and that two deputies of Robert Stephen Ford, US former ambassador to Syria, were also present at the meeting....  And according to the Los Angeles Times, since the opening of a new US base in the desert in southwest of Jordan in November 2012, CIA operatives and US special operations troops have covertly trained these militants in groups of 20 to 45 at a time in two-week courses."  http://en.alalam.ir/news/1511636

     But according to US vice-president Joe Biden, the Saudis are to blame for arming ISIS.  Of course they are.  But it is American weapons that these ISIS cutthroats are firing -- and it is American humvees that ISIS is doing donuts with out in the desert too.  So why not brandish American swords as well?  American neo-cons suddenly draw a line in the sand against swords?  But RPGs are okay?  http://pacificfreepress.com/rss/13501-from-the-mouth-of-biden-veep-admits-us-allies-fund-arm-al-qaeda-al-nusra.html

    And then there's Russia.  Russia stood silently by while the "Coalition of the Willing" beheaded Iraq and Libya.  Would it really be in their best interests to let Syria and Iran get beheaded next?  Or is Russia playing the "Afghanistan Game" with the US instead -- wherein America slowly but surely beheads its own economy by trying to put eleven trillion dollars worth of "boots on the ground" all over the freaking world where they don't belong?  http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/syria/28092014 

    Or did Iran sell ISIS the swords?  With the American military-industrial complex and Israeli neo-cons using every trick in the book to try to find an excuse to put Iran's head on the chopping block for fun and profit even as we speak?  I think not.

     And a friend of mine just asked me the following question:  "Or else could it be that Libya and Syria are/were among the few remaining countries that have resisted the imposition of a central bank associated with the Bank of England/Federal Reserve?"  Hadn't thought of that.  Hell, maybe the banksters bought ISIS their swords!

     And now we get to the next question.  Who the freak would ever even want to behead anyone in the first place?  That takes a whole bunch of work.  Not to mention all that blood-splatter involved  -- and with no laundromats in sight either.

     You've got to be really really angry or crazy or both to cut off someone's head.  So what got these ISIS fruitcakes so pissed off in the first place?  Perhaps it might have been all these past 60 or 70 years that they, their parents and their grandparents have spent trying to survive the constant "War on Arabs" by American colonialists and Israeli neo-cons?  Perhaps this is what has finally sent them around the bend and into horror-movie mode?

     Just be glad that ISIS got their inspiration for weapons from watching the "Walking Dead" and not from watching the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".  But I'm sure that the weapons industry would far rather prefer producing chainsaws than swords.  Chainsaws are a bit more profitable to make, more effectively bloody and just a bit less Old School.

Yes, those are Marines and large weapons in the background of the photo above.  Yes, that is a Sunni sheik in Al Ambar province, Iraq.    And, yes, that's me too -- trying to think up a not-dumb question to ask.
