CENTCOM Whistleblowers: Obama Distorting ISIS Intelligence

CENTCOM Whistleblowers: Obama Distorting ISIS Intelligence » Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!

U.S. Central Command intelligence reports were altered to hide poor progress against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, a congressional joint task force announced.

Fifty intelligence analysts sparked the investigation by filing a whistleblower complaint about superiors changing information on their products.

Republican chairmen of the House Armed Services Committee, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Subcommittee on Defense of the House Appropriations Committee, led by GOP Reps. Ken Calvert (Calif.), Mike Pompeo (Kan.), and Brad Wenstrup (Ohio) established the joint task force, the Hill reported Thursday.

“What happened at CENTCOM is unacceptable — our warfighters suffer when bad analysis is presented to senior policymakers,” Rep. Ken Calvert said. “We must continue our efforts until we fix it.”

Rep. Mike Pompeo (Kan.) told CBS This Morning “there’s enormous evidence about how this information from talented career professionals inside the analytic arm at CENTCOM did their job and accurately depicted what was going on on the ground, but when it got to very senior levels, that information was changed.”

Wenstrup, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve said “we still do not fully understand the reasons and motivations behind this practice and how often the excluded analyses were proven ultimately to be correct. We cannot win the war against ISIS with incomplete intelligence.”

“The report out today highlights the importance of having an independent process,” he added.

But Infowars has already revealed the motivation: the Obama administration is doing everything it can to help ISIS topple Syrian President – and Putin ally – Bashar al-Assad.

For one thing, a classified DIA report presented in August 2012 revealed that “the Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI [Al- Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria,” being supported by “the West, Gulf countries and Turkey.”

Additionally, former intelligence head Michael Flynn revealed that Obama routinely turned a deaf ear to updates and reports on the rise of ISIS because they didn’t fit with the narrative the administration was feeding the American public.

“I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision,” the former DIA chief said.

And in Nov. 2015 the administration was giving Islamic State militants a 45-minute warning prior to bombing their oil tankers.

“Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life,” the warning leaflets given to ISIS read.

U.S. military pilots also confirmed they were ordered not to drop 75% of their ordnance on ISIS targets because they couldn’t get clearance from their superiors.

“We can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us,” said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.)

The war with ISIS hit the two-year mark on Aug. 8, 2016 and there is currently no end in sight.
