The Islamic state is a self-proclaimed Caliphate, which controls a large territory of Syria and Iraq and small parts of Libya and Nigeria, inhabited by 10 million people. It was officially established on 3 January 2014.

The US role in the creation of Islamic State

A retired US Army and NATO general Wesley Clark was a guest at CNN, when he told something that gave a lot of material for many theorists who claim that the Islamic State was created by the United States to substantiate this claim.

“ISIS got started through funding from our friends and allies. People will tell you in the region that if you want somebody who will fight to the death against Hezbollah, you don’t put out a recruiting poster saying ‘sign up for us we’re gonna make a better world.’ You go after zealots and you go after these religious fundamentalists. That’s who fights Hezbollah. It’s like a Frankenstein,” Clark said, practically admitting that the IS was created by the US and its allies.

CIA uncovered a dark secret

Former CIA contractor, Steven D. Kelly, also gave evidence about the role of the United States in creating ISIS.

“If you want to get to the root of the problem and remove this organization, the first thing they need to do is to remove the funding and take care of entities responsible for the creation of this group,” Kelley said. “This is a completely fabricated enemy. The funding is completely from the United States and its allies and for people to think that this enemy is something that needs to be attacked in Syria or Iraq is a farce because obviously this is something that we create it, we control and only now it has become inconvenient for us to attack this group as a legitimate enemy,” Kelley added.

Previous contacts with Osama Bin Laden

Similar to the Islamic state, Al Qaeda was also initially a "dog on a leash," which performed dirty jobs that Clark was talking about. However, when the dog became unruly, it caused problems which culminated in the destruction of the twin towers on September 11, 2001.

During the eighties, Osama Bin Laden was hailed in the Western media. "A fighter for democracy," "noble prince of Afghanistan who fought for freedom" are just some of the headlines praising the man who wrapped America in black in 2001. The reason for this was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After the victory in the Cold War, the United States distanced from the "noble prince", who then orchestrated the worst terrorist attack in US history.
