The Yinon Plan and the role of the ISIS

LIVE messages and pictures of Sunni ISIS fighters dressed
in Islamic attire circulated through social media network such as You Tube
ostensibly authenticate the hostile agenda of the ISIS fighters to dismember
Iraq by carving out a Sunni Islamic Caliphate stretching from Syria to the
western Sunni heartlands in Anbar Province in Iraq. The usage of the state seal
of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on the ISIS flag as well for its Coat of Arms
seemingly validates that ISIS are Sunni fighters.
The rapid march of the ISIS towards Baghdad and its swift takeover of Mosul and
Tikrit, and Baiji oil refinery, Fallujah and Ramadi in the Anbar Province, and
seizure of border crossings into Syria and Jordan are presented by political
analysts as a “civil war” fought along sectarian lines, Sunni Arabs versus Shiia
Arabs. Added to this is the ethnically different Iraqi Kurds who have enjoyed
semi-independence under the US patronage and are now on the verge of declaring
complete independence from Baghdad.
Through the powerful lenses of the Western media houses, the global village
watch with horror and agony the unfolding blitzkrieg in Iraq carried out by ISIS
fighters calling for the creation of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria also
referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (the Levant). The picture
thus being unfolded to the world is that Iraq is on the verge of being divided
into three small states: Sunni Iraq, Shiia Iraq and an independent Kurdistan.
Similar to the deceptive US-UK call for the invasion of Iraq on grounds of Iraq
possessing weapons of mass destruction, western media reporters are now engaged
in misleading and deceiving global public opinion as to the real perpetrators of
this ISIS project. Like the western manufactured “Arab Spring” in North Africa,
the ISIS project is a deception at its worst designed with hateful intentions to
cause horrendous regional mayhem and destruction with military might for the
creation of a “New Middle East” with Israel as the regional power in control of
the region's oil, gas and water resources.
The present ISIS lightning war in Iraq is the creation of an illusion to
initiate the fulfillment of a pre-planned agenda of the West in close alliance
with Israel to redraw the map of the entire region as the “New Middle East.”
This is the Yinon Plan
at work, which aims at the balkanisation of the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) Region into smaller and weaker entities or states in order to ensure the
dominant position of Israel in the region and the control of its oil, gas and
water resources by the US-Israel nexus. In the process of balkanisation, the
facets of ethnicity, religion and race from within the region are engaged for
destruction, causing alarm for the UN and international military intervention to
“protect innocent civilians,” thus paving the way for the ultimate achievement
of the designed goals of creating the “New Middle East.”
The chaos, destruction and devastation caused by the ISIS in its process of
establishing the Sunni Islamic Caliphate in Iraqi and Syrian territories is the
realisation of the intended policy of the US and the West to change public
perception that the “War on Terror” was never a war waged by the West against
Islam but a “war within Islam” along religious, ethnic and sectarian lines in
the Islamic world. The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham's Sunni Caliphate
project coincides with a longstanding US agenda to carve up both Iraq and Syria
into three separate territories: A Sunni Islamist Caliphate, an Arab Shiia
Republic, and a Republic of Kurdistan.
The division of Iraq into three separate entities had also been strongly
advocated by US Vice-President Joe Biden. Biden's heritage and an analysis of
his electoral constituents will help understand better his support for the
fragmentation of Iraq under the Yinon Plan.
Iraq, which was not only the most mechanised and urbanised state in the Middle
East, possessing the largest oil reserve in the Middle East (tapped and
untapped), but also cohesively united as a state with diverse ethno-linguistics
and sectarian groups was the biggest strategic challenge to the plotters of this
balkanisation plan.
The destruction of Iraq began from within the region with Iran as the adversary.
The eight-year war between Iraq and Iran left both the oil rich countries
economically exhausted and militarily weak. In order to thwart the Khomeini
Revolution, Iran, to the proponents of the Yinon Plan, became the logical choice
from within the Middle East region to fight against Iraq. Although Iraq has been
represented to the world as a Shiite-majority state, Sunni Iraqis form the
majority since the Kurds in Iraq are also Sunnis. The existence of the two major
ethno-linguistics groups, the Arabs and the Kurds and the two major sectarian
groups within the Islamic faith, the Sunni and the Shiia in Iraq allowed the
balkanisation planners to foment tensions leading to total disintegration of the
social fabric of the Iraqi society since the US-UK led invasion in 2003.
Prior to the invasion, Iraq enjoyed a 50-50 Shiia-Sunni marital alliance and the
Kurds enjoyed autonomous power within the Iraqi state under President Saddam
Hussein's leadership. The no-fly zones imposed by the West in northern Kurd Iraq
and southern Shiia-held regions between 1993 and 2003, following the first Gulf
War solidified the lines of demarcation for the impending three divisions of
Iraq to be finally carried out by the ISIS. The intentions of the US-Israel
nexus for the implementation of the Yinon Plan was clear to Saddam's regime
before the impending US-UK led invasion of Iraq in 2003 as expressed by the
former Prime Minister of Iraq, Tariq Aziz: “This is not regime change but
regional change.”
