DISINFO: ISIS was created by the CIA and Mossad
SUMMARY
The coverage of the [Crocus] terrorist attack in American media is contradictory. Traditional "regime" media outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal no longer control the public mood, as they have been overshadowed by "free" media platforms, notably Twitter and TikTok, which typically oppose official narratives.
So what do "regime" media outlets say? Their primary message is that ISIS is responsible for the attack and emphasizes that Ukraine has nothing to do with it, since it is not in their interests. The declaration that ISIS is behind the attack is unconvincing. Many people well-versed in international affairs know that this extremist movement was created by the CIA and Mossad to serve their goals.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the US and Western countries of supporting terrorism. This claim was made in the context of a terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall outside Moscow on 22 March 2024.
There is no evidence backing the claim. The US and Western countries have been leading the global coalition to defeat ISIS. However, through this false claim, this disinformation message aims to discredit US support to Ukrainian resistance, including financial and weapons supplies, against Russia’s aggression.
News from credible sources have now appeared that Iran had warned Moscow a few days before 22 March of an imminent attack by ISIS. This was based on information obtained from arrested ISIS terrorists in Iran.
The US was legally obliged to warn Moscow earlier this month of a possible attack in Russia aimed at large gatherings before issuing a security alert to citizens in the country. As explained by ABC news.
"The United States shared those advance intelligence indications under a tenet of the U.S. intelligence community called the “duty to warn," which obliges U.S. intelligence officials to lean toward sharing knowledge of a dire threat if conditions allow. That holds whether the targets are allies, adversaries or somewhere in between".
The alert was dismissed as "provocative", "blackmail" and an "attempt to intimidate, destabilise our country" by Putin. He said: “I’ll remind you of recent, let’s say directly, provocative statements of certain official Western structures about potential terror attacks in Russia. All of this looks like obvious blackmail and an attempt to intimidate, destabilise our country”.
See similar cases claiming that the West encouraged the creation of the Islamic State, who are its mercenaries; that the West is supporting terrorists to encircle Russia; that the US is transporting ISIS members to Afghanistan; that extremists and Nazis are being trained in Ukraine to act in Belarus and that the US is recruiting ISIS terrorists to fight in Ukraine.
