What's Behind Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

ISIS appearance adds to a string of terror to the world. Why is ISIS so free to act? Is there a "global conspiracy" that deliberately designs the world's panic?


Syrian crisis that has lasted for 5 years seems to be more complicated and prolonged. In the sense, as long as ISIS still studded with funds and weapons, the peace will never be come true there. Moreover, if the U.S. and its Western allies remain half-hearted as it is now.

I believe, in the terms of weaponry and personnel, United States only takes a few days to finish ISIS. Remember, in the 1967 war, Israel was alone, but it was able to make Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon to its knees within 6 days. The larger countries -- in terms of population and territory -- were even forced to give up some of their land to Israel. In that war, the Israeli war machines were almost entirely made in America.

Then, when the United States entered directly, large-scale massacres against the Iraqi army and the civilian population was inevitable. Imagine this, operation Desert Storm to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which lasted from January 17 to 28 February 1991, causing more than 100 thousand people were killed, almost all the victims killed were soldiers and Iraqi civilians. When this bloody operation carried out, President of Iraq at the time -- Saddam Hussein -- was in his heyday, as well as the military behind him. He could only be moping when he saw his military forces was destroyed.

So, when the ISIS now seems so powerful in the face of the West, I think it's because there's a global conspiracy behind it, as had happened in Afghanistan when it was occupied by the Soviet Union. At that time, in the 1980s, the West gave financial support and weapons on a large scale to help the Mujahideen against Soviet forces.

In the context of Syria, the global conspiracy started with the Arab Spring, a huge wave of pro-democracy movement in the Arab world that could topple the dictatorship in Tunisia and Egypt. The movement also builds confidence which is widespread throughout the world : that all authoritarian regimes in the Middle East will soon collapse.

United States and its allies see the movement as an opportunity to destroy the power of  Russia's ally that still reigns in Syria, the Ba'ath socialist party under the leadership of president Bashar al-Assad. The U.S. then conspiring with Turkey to train and equip the pro-democracy rebels and the moderate Islam in Syria. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had already admitted it openly, that at first, the rebel forces in Syria funded by the United States.

Great military pressure on the rebels was eventually pushed Bashar -- who in fact he is a secular and Western-educated -- to raise Shia solidarity to gain support from Iran.

In a further development, it turns out, the West's help is misplaced. As a result, anti-democratic radical rebel forces even getting bigger. Among these is the Al-Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra, which now becomes an important part of ISIS forces. This extreme group in intelligence operations likened as a trained agent who denies its operator.


Now Turkey itself even in a difficult position, in a sense, Turkey worries the act of ISIS can undermine its country's security, especially Turkey now also becomes a favorite transit region for those who are going to or away from Syria.

But on the other hand, Turkey benefited from the animosity between ISIS with the Kurds. A number of Kurdish regions has even been occupied by ISIS. Of course this makes Turkey happy because during the Kurdish uprising, thousands of soldiers and civilians Turkey have been killed beaten by Kurdish bullets and bombs. This fact makes Turkish government see that the biggest security threat to the country is the armed uprising of Kurds.


Turkey also sees, there are petrodollar and political rulers in the Arab world behind ISIS. They support ISIS as they aim to liberate Iraq and Syria from the grip of the Shiites, because they themselves are Sunni. This is why Turkey's current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevlut Cavusoglu is so insistent that ISIS issue should be resolved through cooperation with Middle East countries, which are also the main markets of his country.


Meanwhile pressure is also increasingly hard for Turkey to be more serious in preventing people who want to cross to Syria. UN security council data through the monitoring team of the UN's sanction implementation which was released late last year said that about 15,000 people from over 80 countries entered Syria and Iraq fought alongside ISIS via Turkey.

Turkey also allegedly bought oil from ISIS and becomes a pathway for the smuggling of weapons and war equipment. Hoshyar Zebari -- Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Iraq -- has revealed that ISIS controls a number of oil fields in Syria and Iraq. Oil from the fields are then smuggled through land brokered by Turkey.

To relieve the pressure from international community, Turkish government now do seems to be more serious in dealing with the border crossers, including checks on all the goods which they bring from or to Syria. But, as long as Kurdish rebels still undermines the Turkey security and uses Syria as its military base, then Turkey will still prefer supporting ISIS,  because the ISIS attacks against Kurdish military camps give more sense of security to Turkey.


Thus, it's impossible for the US and its Western allies have different views with Turkey,  related to the involvement of authorities in oil-rich countries in ISIS. Together with Turkey, the United States see the economic and diplomatic relations with these countries are too valuable to be ignored, if it is done only for ISIS.

"Then the voice - which identified itself as the prince of this world, the only being who really knows what happens on Earth - began to show him the people around him on the beach. The wonderful father who was busy packing things up and helping his children put on some warm clothes and who would love to have an affair with his secretary, but was terrified on his wife's response. His wife who would like to work and have her independence, but who was terrified of her husband's response. The children who behave themselves because they were terrified of being punished. The girl who was reading a book all on her own beneath the sunshade, pretending she didn't care, but inside was terrified of spending the rest of her life alone. The boy running around with a tennis racuqet, terrified of having to live up to his parents' expectations. The waiter serving tropical drinks to the rich customers and terrified that he could be sacket at any moment. The young girl who wanted to be a dance, but who was studying law instead because she was terrified of what the neighbours might say. The old man who didn't smoke or drink and said he felt much better for it, when in truth it was the terror of death what whispered in his ears like the wind. The married couple who ran by, splashing through the surf, with a smile on their face but with a terror in their hearts telling them that they would soon be old, boring and useless. The man with the suntan who swept up in his launch in front of everybody and waved and smiled, but was terrified because he could lose all his money from one moment to the next. The hotel owner, watching the whole idyllic scene from his office, trying to keep everyone happy and cheerful, urging his accountants to ever greater vigilance, and terrified because he knew that however honest he was government officials would still find mistakes in his accounts if they wanted to.
There was terror in each and every one of the people on that beautiful beach and on that breathtakingly beautiful evening. Terror of being alone, terror of the darkness filling their imaginations with devils, terror of doing anything not in the manuals of good behaviour, terror of God's punishing any mistake, terror of trying and failing, terror of succeeding and having to live with the envy of other people, terror of loving and being rejected, terror of asking for a rise in salary, of accepting an invitation, of going somewhere new, of not being able to speak a foreign language, of not making the right impression, of growing old, of dying, of being pointed out because of one's defects, of not being pointed out because of one's merits, of not being noticed either for one's defects of one's merits."
Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
1 November 2015 : Unresolved partnership issues make you more impatient as the days go by, and you might not know which way to turn now. You don't enjoy being caught in the middle of an emotional drama; in fact, you prefer to skip some of the required responsibilities that come along with a relationship. Nevertheless, you're still aware of the potential for growth, even if you must confront your own discomfort to foster positive change. The truth is logic won't steer you in the right direction, so just follow your heart.

2 November 2015 : You're less inclined to hide your feelings today, even if you think that what you say could make others rather uncomfortable. You're not particularly interested in stirring up any conflict now, yet you won't likely let a battle of wills stop your revelation. Share what you must, but think twice before you just blurt out something that you later wish you didn't. Sometimes your first thought is not your best one when it comes to matters of the heart. Bite your tongue before you hurt someone you love.

3 November 2015 : All eyes are on you today because you can imagine the most amazing possibilities where everyone else only sees problems. Others flock to your positivity since they believe in your solutions and admire your confidence. Nevertheless, you can end up disappointing those you want to impress if your plans ignore the hard cold facts. Separating your dreams from reality will require a high level of concentration, but the results will turn you into a hero. Taking a risk is worthwhile as long as the odds are in your favor.

4 November 2015 : Searching for hidden information may be a compulsion, as if you don't really have a choice today. Something at work isn't quite right and you won't be comfortable until you get to the bottom of the mystery; even running into a dead end won't stop your investigation now. However, digging too insistently will lead to headaches and frustration. Adopting a gentle but persistent strategy will very likely pay off when you uncover the right clues. Put on your detective hat and let your curiosity lead the way.

5 November 2015 : No matter what you hope to do today, work-related tasks demand your undivided attention until the job is complete. This ambitious commitment may sound like bad news, but doing your chores could turn out to be a pleasant experience if you don't put up a fight. Keep your eye on the final goal, regardless of whatever delightful distractions pop up. Just think of it as an endurance test from the universe. If you stay focused on the finish line, you'll cross it with flying colors. Rewards are sweeter when you sweat for them.

6 November 2015 : There's little chance of you being very logical today as the cosmos lures you deep into Fantasyland. Common sense is difficult to find, but you could play this to your advantage if you stop trying to make practical decisions. Even if you must report to work, you can still find time to drift off and contemplate spiritual mysteries. Slipping back and forth between parallel universes is easy now if you don't give a play-by-play commentary of your wanderings. Talk less, dream more.

7 November 2015 : Although you may have the best of intentions today, it's tough to finish all your chores because interruptions continue to catch you off guard. However, there are only so many hours in the day and you can't waste time on trivial pursuits. Grab every opportunity that allows you to cross off another item on your to-do list. Ultimately, wisely managing each moment as it occurs is more productive now than trying to make up for lost time.

8 November 2015 : You are extremely appreciative of an old friend who continues to stand by you through thick and thin. You are inclined to tell others how you feel today, but you could be so insistent about expressing your emotions that your sentiment sounds forced. Your attempt at self-disclosure doesn't have to be an elaborate performance; a simple statement of your gratitude is worth so much more than empty praise that rambles on and on. A true heart connection defies explanation, but a warm hug wraps it up nicely.

9 November 2015 : You're quite thankful for coworkers who support you even when you're acting like a pain in the neck. Nevertheless, others still demand a lot from you today and they will give you their opinions, whether you ask for them or not. You are confident that you are doing the right thing now and don't want anyone to question your motives. However, remaining open to constructive feedback ultimately helps you achieve better results in nearly anything you do. Success can be yours if you keep your ego in check.

10 November 2015 : You're itching to make an escape today because you believe you could lose your chance if you don't act immediately. Unfortunately, you might climb too far out on a limb if you don't stop to think about where you're going. This isn't the best time to test your limits, even if you're sure you can't go wrong. Demonstrate your wisdom by heeding the cosmic signs; gathering experience now is a more reliable path to success than acting on false confidence.

11 November 2015 : You can't help but raise issues that everyone else would rather avoid today. You're not looking to stir up trouble, but talking about a sensitive subject might prompt others to discredit you by criticizing your opinions. Although you don't want to waste energy defending your philosophy, it may be necessary in order to defuse the negativity before it takes hold. Thankfully, the perceptive Scorpio New Moon falls in your 8th House of Metamorphosis, inspiring you to see the conversation through to a successful conclusion.

12 November 2015 : Just as the bumps on the road of life seem to smooth out, another obstacle stops you in your tracks today. Maybe you miscalculated the amount of work on your plate or perhaps you missed a pertinent piece of information. No matter what, there's no reason to complain. You might be self-critical because you could have seen the potential trouble if you paid closer attention. But instead of wasting energy second-guessing things you can't change, take care of the most immediate concerns as quickly as possible. The good news is your I-can-do-it attitude is both constructive and contagious.

13 November 2015 : You might cling to a very practical notion about relationships today, along with an ambitious action plan to get what you want. Unfortunately, you may discover you need an entirely new strategy to manifest your dreams once you shift into gear. Admitting that you're wrong could prove to be a real challenge until you realize how much energy you're expending by trying to keep an old fantasy alive. Flexibility is your secret weapon now; don't be afraid to use it.

14 November 2015 : Impulsive behavior may not bring you what you want today, especially if you irritate someone with your emotional intensity. You might choose to withdraw from the social scene in self-defense, but you won't resolve anything by overcompensating later in the day. Pay attention to your audience since they will tell you when to lighten up. It never hurts to look beyond your inclination to spontaneously share what's on your mind. Setting aside time for contemplation before you create an awkward situation is smarter than trying to clean up a big mess afterward.

15 November 2015 : You might assume that working hard today will enable you to complete everything expected of you. However, a creative aspect between the Sun and ingenious Uranus can ignite distracting fireworks. An unexpected series of events could suddenly transform your day into a temporary obstacle course. Nevertheless, don't blame your troubles on anyone else; how you handle your responsibilities is ultimately your call. The cosmos is testing your resiliency so there's little to do but laugh.

16 November 2015 : It seems as if events are happening for no reason today, befuddling your thinking and throwing off your entire game. Nevertheless, you're not one to give up without a fight, especially since you are expected to accomplish measurable results. On the other hand, if you can spend the day in spiritual practice or watching waves at the beach, then all may be going just as planned. Ultimately, the less you try to do now, the more likely you will find peace. Although it's not cosmically feasible to exercise complete control over your environment, there is much to be learned from simply letting go.

17 November 2015 : Smoother sailing in your interactions with others today sets the stage for what's to come next -- and you may already be dreaming about the future. You can't help but envision so many wonderful possibilities ahead. Unfortunately, trouble arises pretty quickly if you're not focusing on your current obligations. Slow down; even if you have moved on in your mind, you will still need to be patient while reality catches up to your fantasy.

18 November 2015 : It's time to face your own ghosts before jumping in to tackle the issues of your friends and family. Your role within your peer group can become quite muddled over the months ahead if you don't conquer your fear of getting lost in the crowd. You may be searching for happiness through your relationships, but serenity of mind and heart cannot be found until you first find peace within yourself. Imagine that you could be a caterpillar one moment and a butterfly the next.

19 November 2015 : You assumed you were right on track, but now you could realize how much you must change just to keep up with the shifting landscape. If you aren't comfortable with your place in the outer world now, look to your long-term goals for clues as to what you should be doing today. Increasing your awareness is necessary prior to making any meaningful alterations to your direction. The answers to your questions can be found within.

20 November 2015 : You're not one to keep your feelings quiet, yet you might overreact today when dealing with someone who seems to be on your case. Unfortunately, you may not realize how overbearing you sound when defending your position. Your smartest strategy is to downplay any anger that surfaces now so you don't frighten others with your tone. No matter how intense your emotions are in the moment, a more diplomatic approach improves your chances of finding a successful resolution.

21 November 2015 : Not much will get in your way today except for your imagination, either inspiring you to greater heights or triggering a bit of depression. Nevertheless, it would be a shame to waste all the positive potential in your life by succumbing to your doubts or fears. Ultimately, you own the power to create your future by using your dreams to set long-term goals. Once you establish new priorities, start making practical plans for the days ahead. Preparation now increases your chances for success later on.

22 November 2015 : You might believe you can accomplish anything you choose today, but you must be careful that you do not overstate your case or overstep your boundaries. Nevertheless, even if you promise more than you can deliver, your over-commitment could be good news in disguise. This is your chance to catalyze change by getting the truth out into the open. Ambition is the first step to success; the second step is action.

23 November 2015 : It's not unusual for you to react quickly in an emotionally volatile situation. Unfortunately, your goals may not be fully clear yet, so giving them time to develop works to your advantage. You have an opportunity to open your horizons and move in an entirely new direction if you don't rush the process. Although you might be eager to run the race, wait until you hear the shot of the starting gun before you take off. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

24 November 2015 : Cautious optimism is your key phrase today. You might not be sitting on top of the world, but you're well on your way to reaching new heights. But don't attempt to stretch too far or you'll end up sabotaging your plans. Acknowledging the limitations of your schedule prevents disappointment for all parties involved. Running into a wall of resistance isn't much fun but once you accept the circumstances that are beyond your control, you can make corrective adjustments to your calendar. Instead of aspiring to conquer the world, find satisfaction from mastering yourself.

25 November 2015 : Being nice to yourself is one thing, but over-indulgence is an entirely different story. The playful Gemini Full Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to involve others in your mischief. Unfortunately, reality is filtered by your biases today, presenting you with only part of the truth. Nevertheless, you're still compelled to direct everyone else based on what you think you know -- even if your facts are slightly distorted. William Blake wrote, "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."

26 November 2015 : You're capable of sinking into deep and dark places today while still maintaining an outer air of confidence. Others may accuse you of being in denial, but they couldn't be further from the truth. You can brush up against the emotional pain, but you choose not to dwell in it. Acknowledging your fears enables you to navigate through troubling circumstances and emerge victorious on the other side. Just don't move so quickly now that you miss the lessons you need to learn.

27 November 2015 : You may be quite enamored with your clever conversation today. Unfortunately, your mental agility won't help you when it comes to the more pragmatic things in your life, such as the details of your diet and sleep routine. You might sarcastically claim that you shouldn't be bothered with such unimportant matters when you are so busy elsewhere. But taking your own advice isn't such a great idea now; ultimately, nothing is more critical to your wellbeing than nourishing your body and mind. Good health is real wealth.

28 November 2015 : You think you're being sensitive to others, but you're probably not looking much beyond your own ambitions. Instead of just assuming that everyone else has goals similar to yours today, take the time to ask them what they actually want. Keep in mind that you must listen to what people say without trying to convince them to change their minds. Ironically, sometimes your heart is the happiest when you set your personal agenda aside and respond directly to the needs of those you love.

29 November 2015 : Your promise means business today, for once you make a decision you won't be able to easily change your mind. Unfortunately, your judgment might be off if you assume you can talk your way out of a commitment. Whether you are considering making a move, changing jobs or switching schools, it's crucial to take your time and think through all your options before choosing what to do next. Patience is a virtue, especially when there is so much at stake.

30 November 2015 : You're like a little kid today, mischievously searching for your next round of fun and games. You yearn to display affection to someone you love while the Moon brightens your 5th House of Play. Nevertheless, you may think that everything will remain perfect if you continue to avoid the truth. Your current state of grace won't last forever, so face the facts while your creative powers are operating at their optimum. Maturity is knowing when childish behavior is acceptable and when it's not.

Putin orders sanctions against Turkey after downing of jet
Do it, Russia! Turkey deserves to be punished. Let them know who you are, so they will not repeat the same impertinence in its future. I am sure, Turkey is not going to shoot down the US jets, even if the US jet entering the Turkey territory, though. So, why is Turkey so dare to shoot down the Russia jet? Because Turkey feels supported by NATO? Turkey thinks Russia afraid of NATO? Turkey thinks Russia afraid of NATO? What? Russia afraid of NATO? Russia afraid of NATO?
Ahahhaa ... ahhhaa.. even in their dreams though, the Russia chickens will giggle with this rhetoric.

Russia afraid of NATO? What? Who says so? So, if Russia afraid of NATO, then Turkey thinks Russia can only accept wholeheartedly, sincerely, with a maximum fortitude on impertinence undertaken by Turkey?

Oh damn you, Turkey! It's not about the persistence of receiving bad news, but about the self-esteem of wounded military.

Honestly, I do not believe in the effectiveness of the word "sorry" in bilateral relations. Nevertheless, Turkey may try to say it. I believe Russia is a great nation with a high feeling, virtuous character, manners and can feel the sincerity if Turkey earnestly to apologize. But you can see for yourself how Erdogan reaction over his carelessness. Turkey's Erdogan even warns Russia not to 'play with fire'. His logic is inverted. I say, "Do not play with fire to Russia, Turkey! Or you will get burned."

No reason to doubt the seriousness of Russia in any case. In your opinion, what is meant by Erdogan with his statement, "We are truly saddened by this incident," Erdogan said. "We wish it hadn't happened as such, but unfortunately such a thing has happened. I hope that something like this doesn't occur again."

Media said, "Addressing supporters in the western city of Balikesir, Erdogan said neither country should allow the incident to escalate and take a destructive form that would lead to "saddening consequences."

What? Sadness has just begun when you have destroyed? Pardon me? Hey Turkey, you are sad because you have destroyed the Russian jet? Ahahaha. Stop their joke, Rusia! Enjoy their fears now.

I hope you're not grinning in the distance, America! And you, too. Do not need to tap your fingers on your own desk, NATO! Or you both are pretending not even know anything? And you start to assume this is just about the fall of a fruit fly? Oh you're all wrong. Russian fighter jet is not made of cardboard.

Can you imagine how Israeli reaction if similar incident happen to them? I mean, Israeli jets fired by Turkey. Ehehehe. Will the U.S. remain calm as shown on what is happening to Russia? Well, no need to be answered if what is needed by Russia is just to heal its wounded military. Every now and then we need consolation action for ourselves, right? Now, Turkey, you just need to comb your matted performance with erratic mind.

Featured Documentary - Justice! This exclusive Al Jazeera documentary is the incredible behind-the-scenes account of one man's extraordinary battle against judicial corruption in Ghana, one of sub-Saharan Africa's most developed countries.Over the course of two years, acclaimed investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas secretly filmed 12 of the country's High Court judges, 22 other judges, and 140 other court officials accepting bribes.In early September this year, despite huge pressure to keep his findings confidential, Anas released them to the Ghanaian public, unleashing an almost unprecedented crisis of confidence in the nation's judiciary - hitherto one of its most trusted and revered institutions.Justice! follows this most unconventional journalist, a qualified barrister in his own right, as these dramatic events come to a climax; revealing the complex moral and ethical dilemmas involved in an self-funded crusade that always looked likely to humble some of the most powerful men in the country, but which controversially also led to the release of alleged violent criminals from police custody. Although his identity is a closely guarded secret - because maintaining his anonymity is so crucial to working undercover - Anas has long enjoyed huge public support in Ghana and across Africa. Famously his work has even been endorsed by US President Barack Obama. But this this time even many of his friends feared he had bitten off more than he could chew, that the stakes were too high, that the risks to his safety were too great.This film tells of the huge political and personal pressures that saw Anas put his own and his family's lives on the line as the day of revelation drew near, the number of deaths threats increased and tense last-minute manoeuvring was needed to outwit the shadowy enemies trying desperately to stifle the story.The resulting scandal, which is still playing out, is changing the political landscape of the nation and its effects may be felt for years to come. As Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary- General and one of Ghana's most famous sons says in the film. "Sometimes it takes a spark, just a spark, and I think Anas has provided that spark for the whole edifice to blow up."One thing is certain - it makes for compelling viewing.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."
