Did Obama Admin Created ISIS In 2012?

In a report published by the USA Politics Today, it is contended that Obama Admin Created ISIS In 2012 To Use As A ‘Tool’ - the report is based on some declassified documents.

The report says that the ISIS was purposely created by the Obama Administration to isolate the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad. The documents also predicted that the support given by the West, Turkey and the Persian Gulf Arab states to the Takfiri militants would eventually lead to the establishment of a Salafist Principality in Eastern Syria.

The leaked document reveals that in coordination with the Gulf states and Turkey, the West intentionally sponsored violent Islamist groups to destabilize Assad, despite anticipating that doing so could lead to the emergence of an ‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria.

The documents also shed light on details referencing weapons operations inside Libya before the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi. And the report leaves no doubt that U.S. intelligence agencies were fully aware that weapons were being shipped from Benghazi to Syrian ports.

Russia blames CIA - MOSAD and MI-6 for Paris massacre

In a stunning revelation, Russia has blamed the Paris massacre was a “ritual massacre” and “orchestrated/directed” by a secretive “element/cabal” of Freemasons (Masonic/Masons) holding high positions of power within the United States CIA, the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6), Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) and the Vatican.

According to this report, the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) first alerted the MoD to the potential of this “Friday the 13th” plot a fortnight ago (27 October) after a highly secretive meeting was held in Washington D.C. attended by the Director of the CIA, John Brennan, DGSE Director Bernard Bajolet, former MI6 Chief John Sawers and former DMI Chief, and current Israeli National Security Advisor, Yaacov Amidror.

Especially alarming about the 27 October meeting of these spy chiefs in Washington D.C., this report continues, was DGSE Director Bernard Bajolet stating afterwards that the Federation protected nation of Syria “will be different from what had been established after World War II”—which in turn led the GRU to warn the MoD that the Freemasons “Master Magic numbers of 11 and 13” were now in play.

The Russian reports says that the true motives of this Friday the 13th massacre will, likewise, be revealed for what it truly is—and which President Obama himself agrees with as just the day prior to this attack, 12 October, he rightfully noted that the Islamic State was not getting stronger and has now been contained.

Could Russia be making giant nuclear torpedo

A leaked news of a possible making of a giant nuclear torpedo by Russia has stirred the world.

The leaked news is attributed to a photo of one general was seen studying a diagram of the "devastating" torpedo system (photo above). The leak happened during a report on state-run Channel One about President Vladimir Putin meeting military chiefs in the city of Sochi.

Launched by a submarine, it would create "wide areas of radioactive contamination", the document says.

Although the Kremlin says secret plans for a Russian long-range nuclear torpedo - called "Status-6" - should not have appeared on Russian TV news, but the Russian government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta has published details of the weapon, without showing the diagram, and speculated about a super-radioactive cobalt device. Experts thus believe that the leak may not have been accidental.
