America's clandestine Black Operations (Black Ops) is now fully
operational in 105 countries. After more than 10 years of American secret wars,
night raids, detentions and assassinations, as well as massive surveillance and
billions of wasted dollars ~ the blow back has been 36 new terror groups as
well as one that was born during the illegal American invasion of Iraq,
nurtured in an Iraqi Prison camp and is now known as the Islamic state of Iraq
(ISIS) which just murdered in cold blood a Japanese reporter and Jordanian
pilot and controls a huge swath of the Middle East and all under the nose of
the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC): Allen L Roland, Ph.D
It’s
the golden age of Black Ops and it shows no signs of slowing down. American Special
Operations Forces are a vivid picture of a dark world of special operations that is being built right
before our eyes but, like a stealth bomber, is seldom seen or actually
understood by most Americans.
A black operation or black op is a covert
operation by a government, a government agency, or a military
organization. This can include activities by private companies or groups. Key
features of a black operation are that it is clandestine, it has negative
overtones, and it is not attributable to the organization carrying it out.
The main difference between a black operation and one that is merely
clandestine is that a black operation involves a significant degree of
deception, to conceal who is behind it or to make it appear that some other
entity is responsible such as "false flag"
operations.
Nick Turse, explains this massive secret global war in
Truthout ;
"During the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2014, U.S. Special
Operations forces (SOF) deployed to 133 countries ~ roughly 70% of the nations
on the planet ~ according to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bockholt, a public
affairs officer with U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). This
capped a three-year span in which the country’s most elite forces were active
in more than 150 different countries around the world, conducting missions
ranging from kill/capture night raids to training exercises. And this
year could be a record-breaker. Only a day before the failed raid that
ended Luke Somers life ~ just 66 days into fiscal 2015 ~ America’s most
elite troops had already set foot in 105 nations, approximately 80% of 2014’s
total….. “The command is at its absolute
zenith. And it is indeed a golden age for special operations.”
Those were the words of Army General Joseph Votel III, a West Point graduate
and Army Ranger, as he assumed command of SOCOM last August….. Votel
now sits atop one of the major success stories of a post-9/11 military that has
been mired in winless wars, intervention blowback, rampant criminal activity, repeated leaks
of embarrassing
secrets, and all manner of shocking scandals….. "We need to continue to
synchronize the deployment of SOF throughout the globe,” says Votel.“We
all need to be synched up, coordinated, and prepared throughout the
command.”…. Left out of sync are the American people who have
consistently been kept in the dark about what America’s special operators are
doing and where they’re doing it, not to mention the checkered results of, and
blowback from, what they’ve done. ." See

In our fear driven world, Black Ops is a
perfect reflection of the Empire's dark side except now the blowback is
becoming too glaringly obvious to ignore ~ for example the recent hostage
beheading of the courageous and caring Japanese reporter Kenji Goto and the
inhuman burning alive of hostage Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh .
You
can see where this is all leading to as Jordan announces it will execute two
ISIS prisoners within hours of the execution of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh who was burned alive
while locked in a cage.
Remember Shock and Awe and Bush's dubious Mission
Accomplished during our illegal attack and
destruction of Iraq in 2003 and now 12 years later we are in shock and awe of
the pure brutality of their response to a decade of economic rape and
destruction. It's called blowback and it's not going away any time soon.
“The violent subjugation of the Palestinians, Iraqis, and Afghans will only ensure that those who oppose us will increasingly speak to us in the language we speak to them ~ violence.”
