US ground troops were confirmed to have been joined Iraqi forces in attempting to repel an ISIS attack on the strategic Anbar Province town of Baghdadi, northwest of Ramadi.
The Iraqi police confirmed US troops from the al-Assad airbase joined the battle. Some 350 US troops are stationed at the base, deep in ISIS territory, and officials have often presented attacks on ISIS near the area as “self-defense.”
The Pentagon has not admitted to the ground troops’ engagement, and indeed may not, as there seems to be considerable interest in the administration to keeping that sort of thing quiet.
The Baghdadi fight was significant, however, with provincial officials reported a significant battle and a number of casualties on both sides. Baghdadi is one of the last towns that houses Albu Nimr tribesmen, a Sunni tribe that is pro-government, and has clashed openly, and unsuccessfully, with ISIS.
"…considerable interest in the administration to keeping that sort of thing quiet."
That's because the administration is attempting to portray them as "trainers" and not "boots on the ground." And if the "trainers" should be injured or killed while "training" then it will most likely be classified as a "training accident."
It's getting harder and harder to maintain the narratives they want to use to keep the American public ignorant and malleable.
Narratives are not really needed. The Amerikan sheeple are sufficiently dumb enough to believe anything they are told by the Asylum States government.
And what revolutionary steps have you been taking to distinguish yourself from these "sheeple", Reed? Don't you think it would be more fair to describe the American people as feeling powerless? Other than the internet, there are no organized political vehicles for their rage other than libertarian expressions that as often as not play directly into the very mindset and tactics of the ruling clique that oppresses us. When the time comes that the myths of what was once called, "bourgeois democracy", have sufficiently been shaken off, there will be a commotion made that will strike terror into the hearts of these filth. In that day, there will be no "sheeple."
To keep the American public ignorant and malleable. It doesn't take much.
