No doubt, every country has a superior intelligence agency to protect the national interest of the
state. It keeps a vigilant eye on the internal and external threats. Even by playing a double game,
it thwarts the anti-state subversion through various means.
Quite contrarily, from the very beginning, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been
protecting the interests of the Zionist Jews and Israel at the cost of the Islamic World and even
The doctrine of the CIA is based on roguish tactics which are employed in the target countries
through its invisible warriors and paid agents—NGOs. The agency is also in collaboration with
the Israeli secret agency Mossad and Indian RAW. Besides the western countries, CIA agents are
present in all the Islamic countries and have been implementing various tactics of psychological
warfare which includes vile propaganda, disinformation, political dissent, arrangement of
military rebellions, overthrow of regimes, incitement of uprising, creation of ethnic divisions,
sectarian violence (And division), assassination of political leaders and renowned
persons—criminal elements to foment subversion to weaken the Muslim states in consonance
with the Israel-led American policies. However, application of these designs varies from country
In this regard, military coup against Indonesian President Sukarno and afterwards his
assassination might be cited as instance. When the US former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
had threatened to occupy the oil installations of Saudi Arabia, in response, Saudi King Shah
Faisal also warned to stop oil supply to America. As a result, King Faisal was killed by his own
nephew who was clandestinely supported by the CIA.
From the very beginning, the CIA kept eye on the nuclear programme of Pakistan, which was
taken as a threat to both Israel and India. In this context, in an interview to a private TV channel
on April 4, 2010, the former deputy chief of the US mission in Islamabad Gerald Feuerstein
revealed, “He was a witness to the meeting between former premier Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and
former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger in Lahore in August 1976…Kissinger came with a
carrot and stick…since US elections were near and the Democrats were set to win them and
wanted a tougher non-proliferation approach and might make Pakistan an example…Bhutto
rejected the warning to disband Pakistan’s nuclear programme.”
Afterwards, Bhutto’s government was toppled in 1977 by a CIA-backed coup of Chief of Army
Staff Gen. Zia-ul-Haq who hanged him through the court, which is considered a judicial murder
in Pakistan. Besides Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, her daughter and the ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto
was also martyred by CIA operatives through Al Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
After the September 11 tragedy in the US, almost all the Muslim countries joined the Bush’s
fake global war on terror, and they became the target of the CIA covert wars. In this respect, in
words, President Bush repeatedly said that his ‘different war’, is not against the Muslim
countries. But, in practice, only Islamic countries were targeted in the pretext of terrorism or Al
Qaeda which, itself, was created by the CIA, and became a scapegoat of American secret
activities to obtain the goals of Zionists and Israel.
Being the only nuclear power in the Muslim World, Pakistan has been coping with the CIA
roguish tricks. In 2009, Pakistan’s media had pointed out the US notorious private security
firm—Blackwater in the country with a new name as Xe Services. As part of the US espionage
network, hundreds of the CIA agents and those of the Blackwater entered Pakistan under the
guise of diplomats. They started conducting anti-Pakistan activities by their affiliated militants
including their Pakistani agents. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI) castigated
the anti-Pakistan activities of the Blackwater and CIA. It compelled America to roll back the
network of Blackwater and reduce the number of diplomats.
It is notable that in connivance with the Zionist-controlled media, CIA launched a propaganda
campaign that Osama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda were behind the 9/11 catastrophe. Despite Bin
Laden’s denial, Afghanistan was occupied by the US and NATO, as propaganda was so strong
that even, America’s western allies were impressed.
Similarly, before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a deliberate disinformation campaign was
launched by the CIA all over the world that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs). In
that respect, a self-fabricated report was prepared. Afterwards, Iraq was attacked and occupied
by the Anglo-American forces, but no WMDs were found.
John Stockwell, ex-CIA Station Chief in Angola in 1976, who also worked for the director of the
CIA under George Bush (Senior) and spent 13 years in the agency, confirmed the US Central
Intelligence Agency’s expanding operations in a report. Stockwell’s report indicated that since
the 2006 US-led Ethiopian invasion of Somalia, “the CIA maintains a growing security complex
in the country, located right behind Mogadishu’s Aden Adde International Airport. The complex
contains over a dozen buildings as well as several metal hangars, which house CIA aircraft.”
Another report by United Press International claims, “The CIA complex contains a prison for the
suspected militants who are routinely interrogated and tortured by the members of a Mogadishu-
As regards the CIA role to exploit the Iranian election protests in 2009, its programme involved
playing the media as well as having secret agents on the ground in Iran. In this connection, in
May 2007, ABC News reported that the CIA had received secret presidential (Bush) approval to
mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize Iranian government.
Starting from Iran, protests and armed clashes inspired by the CIA resulted into revolt in Tunisia,
expanding uprising and demonstrations to Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Yemen, Lebanon,
On March 31, 2011, the Guardian revealed that the President Obama had signed a secret order
authorizing covert help to arm Libyan rebels. On May 20, 2011, The Guardian indicated, “US
President Obama placed Washington on the side of popular uprisings not only in Egypt, Tunisia
and Libya but also in Syria and Bahrain—a longtime American ally.” It wrote, “President unveils
shift in US policy towards Arab countries—tells Syria’s Assad to get out of way.”
On March 2, 2011, Yemen’s President Saleh, describing the role of CIA and Israeli Mossad,
disclosed, “I am going to reveal a secret…there is an operations room in Tel Aviv run by the
White House with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world.” Saleh also said, “Opposition figures
meet regularly with the US ambassador in Sanaa.”
Nevertheless, in line with the Obama’s strategy, CIA agents succeeded in ousting Tunisian
President Ben Ali, Egyptian Mubarak (a close ally of the US) and Libyan President Col. Gaddafi,
toppling the elected government in Egypt as part of the policy of the regime change in
accordance with the Israeli agenda.
It is mentionable that Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme for energy purposes was taken as a
threat to Tel Aviv. Hence, Tehran’s atomic move was exaggerated by the CIA and Zionist
agents. Although Iranian nuclear issue has been settled in the recent past through a deal with the
US, yet Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu calls it American historical blunder. In fact, Tehran’s
support to Hezbollah which also defeated Israel in 2006 and Iranian-Syrian joint stand for
While, America claims itself champion of human rights. Both Bush and Obama are responsible
for the illegitimate killing of innocent persons in Pakistan and some African countries by
allowing the CIA-operated drone attacks. Since 9/11, the US-led troops, supported by CIA have
carried out indiscriminate mass round-ups in catching up suspected Muslim men and women in
Afghanistan and Iraq including some Arab countries without evidence. Israeli Mossad has helped
the CIA officials in arresting the Muslim men, having beard and ladies, wearing scarves.
Notably, in March, 2013, an investigative report by the British Guardian/BBC pointed out that
acting under the direction of the top US officials; the CIA utilized a global network of secret
prisons, foreign intelligence agents and torture centers in various Islamic countries including
Belgium etc. where torture was conducted directly by American intelligence operatives. The
report which also mentioned Bagram and Guantanamo, links US high officials to atrocities
carried out in Iraq—unleashed a deadly sectarian militia which terrorized the Sunni community
and germinated a civil war, and claimed tens of thousands of lives. And Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison
was another example of CIA terrorism.
In this regard, besides encouragement of Israeli brutal tactics on the Palestinians, CIA conducted
Shia-Sunni violence in Iraq and Pakistan. Now, terror-attacks on sectarian lines could also be
noted in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. While, CIA which also formed ISIS (Daesh) is also utilizing
its militants in creating and manipulating Shia-Sunni divide among the Islamic countries as noted
in case of Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
President Obama’s dual policy franchised both Al-Qaeda and ISIS to advance the agenda of the
Zionists, Israeli lobbies and the neoconservatives. Covertly, Obama authorized CIA to create
ISIS. Some recent developments such as CIA-assistance to Al-Qaeda (Al-Nusra Front) and ISIS
terrorists in fighting against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and against the Iraqi regime,
and smuggling of oil by the ISIS (Kurd-controlled regions) to the European countries,
America’s frustration over Russian successful airstrikes on the ISIS strongholds in the northern
Syria, its coalition with Iran, Iraq, Syria and Hezbollah in support of President Assad has clearly
exposed the covert aims of the US phony global war on terror. Therefore, CIA and Mossad used
ISIS terrorists to conduct the November 13 terror attacks in Paris. These agencies were also
behind the shooting in San Bernardino, California on December 2, which left 14 people dead.
Thus, by re-producing anti-Muslim phenomena of the 9/11 tragedy like the propaganda of the so-
called threat of Islamophobia, persecution of the Muslims in the US and other western countries
etc., CIA has succeeded in its designs. The US has got the assistance of its western allies
(NATO) against Russia. It has also deviated from its previous stand that Assad will remain in
power and future of Syria will be decided by its people. Some unexpected developments like
Turkey-Russian tension, increase of Russian military in Syria, dispatch of American Special
Forces in Syria, participation of the UK, movements of France’s troops and naval units near the
Syrian border, similar move by German troops in the Syria-Iraq battlefield, Turkey’s deployment
of larger military units close to the Syrian border (And inside Iraq), acceleration of their
airstrikes on ISIS etc. show that instead of a broader coalition (Including Russia), the west has
chosen the US-led anti-ISIS alliance either to oust Assad or to kill him like the Libyan President
Col. Gaddafi, after throwing the country into endless anarchy. Another scenario is that proxy war
may prolong in Syria. But, US-led alliance will try to occupy the Syrian oil installations.
It is of particular attention that in June 12, 2015 The Washington Post wrote, “Key lawmakers
have moved to slash funding of a secret CIA operation to train and arm rebels in Syria…as
20 percent of the classified funds flowing into a CIA program that U.S. officials said has become
one the agency’s largest covert operations, with a budget approaching $1 billion a year…the
measure has provoked concern among CIA and White House officials, who warned that pulling
money out of the CIA effort could weaken U.S.-backed insurgents. The White House declined to
comment…U.S. officials said the CIA has trained and equipped nearly 10,000 fighters sent into
At present, in the US where the presidential election-campaign has started, ordinary Americans
are focusing on internal problems such as financial crisis, cost of war etc. which are the result of
prolonged war on terror. Patriot Americans are openly criticizing the Zionist-protected policies
of the US, putting questions that they are paying taxes to the CIA and military establishment
(Their huge budgets) which are fighting useless proxy wars in the world for the sake of Israel.
However, in wake of the present drastic scenario, some analysts warn of global war between the
US-led alliance and the Russia-led coalition, while some are predicting about world war 111 or
nuclear war, and some are talking about “Clash of Civilizations” in the sense of Huntington.
Nonetheless, such a dangerous situation will destroy the entire world or is likely to throw it in an
era of civil war, enveloping Israel itself. Question remains that for whose protection CIA has
