In a rare public speech, Britain’s MI5 Director General Andrew Parker warned that al-Qaeda fighters in Syria are planning to send jihadists back to the West to inflict “mass casualties” on targets in multiple nations.
The speech had been planned for awhile, but the warning seems much greater coming just a day after an attack by a pair of gunmen, themselves said to be recent returnees from Syria, killed 12 at a magazine in Paris.
The two returnees were just two of many. France alone has 1,000 people it is tracking, and the US Justice Department says that some 13,000 foreign fighters are in Syria and Iraq, with over 3,000 from Western Europe alone.
If these two brothers were able to carry out such a significant attack by themselves, the number and scope of the attacks that these returnees could carry out if they returned en masse is absolutely staggering.
These estimates for how many fighters from different countries have come to Iraq and Syria are always just rough estimates, and a lot of the people aren’t known by name. The Kouachi brothers, the suspects in this case, were known to officials for many years, and that still wasn’t enough to prevent the attack.
As the ISIS war escalates, their ability to recruit seems to be growing greatly, and the number of potential returnees is only growing, even as intelligence communities struggle to get a handle on the number already there.
The question that begs asking is this: Why are so many Westerners going to fight for ISIS and not against them? What do once 'normal' young Western men see in going to fight for what is being described as a 'great evil' instead of against it?
During the Spanish Civil War, we saw thousands of young men and women making their way to Spain- sometimes at great peril to themselves- to fight against the better armed and supported Fascist forces. They went knowing they were the underdogs, and they went willingly. So what is so different this time? Why don't we see droves of men and women joining the anti-ISIS forces to put down this rabid dog? If they're doing it, why aren't they lauded as heroes? Why must we focus on the ones who go to fight FOR the 'Dark Side'? What are the propagandists of ISIS doing that draws recruits to them so much better than their opponents?
Do not interfere with them would sykes/picot ever thought the decision`s they made would cause all this murder/mayhem/ destruction/ genocide.

Surely, for all the Western white nations with their Christian religions, they are striving to enrich themselves upon the misery of all the Muslim nations, especially in the oil rich Middle-East and the natural resources rich Africa.
For our Western world call’s itself democratic, but by a starvation minimum wage the lower half is wept impoverished and enslaved. And Empire USA, is it not striving to establish dominance over a one-world economy by giving the rich ruling class all of the killer drones and deadly force needed to enslave their laboring-class?
Half of all the people on earth, all of the laboring-class — kept impoverished for no other purpose but economical slavery and population reduction.
Such is the end-time intent of those who have always ruled society, the high achiever upper half that has always owned all the wealth, land and economy.
And such is our only option, to either by nationwide strikes bankrupt the upper half of expire in a convulsion with it.
For people with wealth are slaves to wealth, as they have no choice but to kill to protect wealth.
