Behind the rise of terrorist group ISIS and America’s new interventions in the Middle East is a screenplay that beats Hollywood movies. One is in awe seeing the story written many years ago unfold into unbelievable reality today. Before we go into the exciting story, here is some background.
Making creative reports based on hypothetical situations and releasing them as predictions of days to come is a part of American foreign affairs strategy to influence international affairs. In 1979, American spy agency CIA created a separate wing called National Intelligence Council for this purpose. Before intervening in the internal affairs of various countries to subject the world order to American interests, it releases such predictions on the future of the world and creates favourable conditions with the help of the National Intelligence Council.
By now, the National Intelligence Council has released several reports on the future of the world order in multiple stages. The first such report was released in 1997 about the 2010 era. Later in 2000, a report on the 2015 world order and in 2004, 2008, 2012, similar reports on 2020, 2025 and 2030 were released, respectively. These reports are available on the National Intelligence Council’s website http://www.dni.gov/index.php/about/organization/national-intelligence-council-global-trends.
Islamic State of Iraq and Al Sham (ISIS), which said that Muslims across the world must join the ranks of their Caliphate, was a name that began to fill up news in 2013. The terrorist organisation born in Iraq was actively involved in attempts to overthrow the governments in Iraq and Syria. The organisation which established its presence in strategically important locations and came to be known by various names such as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Islamic State (IS) is referred to as Daesh in Arab media these days. ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed Caliph who chose mass murder, kidnapping and torture of minorities as war tactics, sought the support of the world’s Muslims last Ramadan.
However, ISIS and its Caliph were condemned by religious scholars in Arab countries as well as other nations and Muslim organisations. The organisation, which went against the message of Islam, was declared an enemy of the human race.
With the support of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan, America has begun a strong offensive against ISIS. However, the reality is that the US-created ISIS has become a Frankenstein monster which has turned against the interests that created it in the first place.
In the civil war against Bashar Al Assad in Syria, America and the coalition had stood with ISIS and nurtured them by supplying weapons. What is happening in the case of ISIS is a repetition of how Al Qaeda was created and grown with a clear objective.
The hypothetical story of a new Caliph, Caliphate and everything which is unfolding now was written in the 2004 National Intelligence Council report on the world order in 2020 – years before the birth of ISIS.
The screenplay leaves one shuddering at the thought of America’s secret goals.
Here is a summary of the predictions made in the 10-year-old hypothetical report which describes the emergence of a new Caliphate, titled Fictional Scenario: A new Caliphate:
Widespread requests that inflame religious fundamentalism declared under a new Caliphate will spread across the world in the form of the new Caliph’s plea. The person who comes forward and proclaims himself the new Caliph will pose challenges to the traditional governments in Islamic nations as well as become the reason for friction between Muslims and powers like America, Russia, Europe and China that are vying for power in the Muslim world. Like in the Muslim world and Middle East, under the influence of the Caliph’s plea, Asia and Africa will also turn convulsed.
The National Intelligence Council report contains a letter from a fictional character called Syed Mohammed bin Laden, who is Osama bin Laden’s grandson, to a relative. The imaginary letter, dated June 3, 2020, describes the situation after the establishment of a Caliphate in the Middle East (Mapping the Global future, Report of the NIC’s 2020 Project, page 85). Although the contents of the letter were not relevant at the time the report was written, when one watches it become a reality, it reminds one of Irving Wallace’ novel The Almighty, in which the protagonist manufactures false news using terrorists to achieve his goals.
One realises how precisely the screenplay to change the world order is being executed when one reads of the ongoing Shia-Sunni clashes in Iraq, improving US-Iran relations, the rise of a Caliph in Iraq and the establishment of a Caliphate.
ISIS leader Al Baghdadi rose up from the Shia-Sunni clashes in Iraq. According to military documents from the time of Iraq’s invasion by America, he was under the custody of the military in 2004. Later, he was released under suspicious circumstances by the US.
If one reads these facts with the report above, the curiosity to know how the rest of the CIA screenplay materialises increases. Let us keep our eyes, ears and brain receptive to that.
