SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO ATTACKS CRACKDOWN ON ISLAMIC TERRORISM AS 'HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES'

The pattern of Western nations taking the side of jihadist opposition forces seen in Syria and Libya on "humanitarian" grounds is again being revealed in the controversy over the nation of Myanmar (commonly called "Burma").

The majority Buddhist country has a minority of Muslims called Rohingyas who were engaged in a revolt that included acts of terrorism.

The military in Myanmar was employed to fight the terrorist campaign of the Rohingyas and in the end came under harsh criticism from Western nations.

One of the effects of the crackdown was a flood of refugees into the neighboring Muslim country of Bangladesh.

Reporters working for Reuters were jailed for gaining access to confidential government documents detailing the campaign against the Rohingya opposition forces.

The de-facto leader of Myanmar, Nobel Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, was sanctioned by all major parties in Canada's House of Commons last week with a vote to remove honorary citizenship to her.

She has stated that the fight between the government and the Rohingyas in Myanmar is a fight against "terrorism"

And now just like his predecessor, Rex Tillerson, current US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has gotten involved in the criticism of the way the Muslim Rohingyas have been treated.   Pompeo wants the government to investigate and prosecute people involved in what are characterized as "human rights abuses."

Just as in Syria and Libya concern about human rights abuses has been used by Western nations to support and or condone jihadist terrorism.

Why?

President Trump has frequently alluded to a "humanitarian" problem either existing or threatening to be in existence in Syria.    He has also proclaimed that there have been "chemical attacks" in Syria and that there is a threat of another "chemical attack".

He even said just in recent days that a supporter at a "Make America GreatAgain" rally clued him into Syria's "humanitarian" problem.  As Peter Hitchens has pointed out, pictures of suffering in Syria are manufactured by the Al-Qaeda jihadist movement, backed by Saudi Arabia.

This is an excerpt of his February 25th column:

"Just bear in mind as you read the latest propaganda--always beautifully composed pictures of wounded children in the arms of gentle, unarmed young men--that the "rebels" and "activists" in the suburbs of Damasacus are the people we used to call Al Qaeda.  That is, they are the ones who blew up the Twin Towers....."

I didn't know that supporters of Al Qaeda attend "MAGA" rallies.

While President Trump has been critical of Saudi Arabia for not producing enough oil or spending enough on its own defense in recent days, the Syria policy is based on the propaganda of Al Qaeda jihadists backed by Saudi Arabia.

And one has to suspect the policy on Myanmar is also rooted in the Saudi influence with its money and oil on the United States and other Western nations just like the Syria policy is.

Lets consider what  President Trump did when he visited Saudi Arabia in May 2017 with his "sword dance" ritual with Saudi leaders.
