ISIS WAS CREATED BY AMERICAN ALLIES Propaganda about terrorism as an aid in the disintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Former Supreme Commander of NATO Allied Forces, American General Wesley Clark, in an interview with CNN in February 2015, stated: "Our friends and allies financed ISIS to destroy Hezbollah." At that moment, he shocked not only the host but also a significant part of the world public, because at that time, then-US President Barack Obama was seeking Congress's approval for a war with ISIS.

Another piece of information, published in Israeli and Arab media, but also stated by Iranian officials, says that wounded ISIS fighters were treated in Israel, and the fact is that ISIS has never attacked Israel. With what goal and by whom was the information about increased security threats due to alleged ISIS cells disseminated, following the new conflicts in the Middle East?

One answer could be seen in the fact that many in and around the EU benefit from the Middle Eastern conflict, which they can use to amplify Islamophobia, especially after Hamas's attacks on Israel, but also the attacks on fans in Brussels. However, although that attacker had no connection to Bosnia and Herzegovina or the Western Balkans, intelligence services and media from Italy have labeled us as a terrorist space where terrorists sleep, waiting for a call to action.

And all this is general, without concretization and factual substantiation of such claims. The migrant route is cited as the path taken by these mysterious terrorists, while forgetting a key fact – for migrants to reach BiH, they must either pass through the EU or be returned from that area. Therefore, if these potential terrorists exist, they were on EU territory before arriving in BiH, so the question is how they were not discovered, especially if they are in the mentioned numbers and if those Italian and who knows what other intelligence services are so well-informed.

Croatian media are following the Italian intelligence services, and HRT is broadcasting live from the Blažuj migrant center, which was searched by police agencies that day and found drug addicts and dealers instead of terrorists. But it is obvious that the official media of official Zagreb found it important to send a story about the search from the suburbs of Sarajevo due to the security situation.

The emphasis on the story of terrorism by official Croatian policy is not new; it is periodically renewed, because it is obvious that while they talk about "friendship" and "offer help on the European path," they want to present us as Europe's black terrorist hole.

Sometimes they do it through diplomacy, and sometimes through intelligence structures. And in 2019, Croatian diplomacy and SOA attempted at least twice to recruit members of the Wahhabi movement from BiH to transport weapons and explosives to mosques in the Zenica-Doboj Canton.

Therefore, it is a legitimate right to suspect that everything that Croatian policy, their media, as well as media in Italy, have been saying and doing in recent days is actually a construct aimed at presenting our country and a large part of the region as compromised spaces, where terrorist organization cells are dormant.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will not easily fight against such propaganda. Especially if we know that members of Wahhabi groups and organizations came to Bosnia and Herzegovina during the aggression with passports from Great Britain and Italy, and with the abundant help of Croatia, which imported these Wahhabis uncontrollably into the territory controlled by the Army of RBiH. Later, they tried to impute these people to us as jihadists and terrorists, wanting to make Bosnian Muslims appear as bogeyman terrorists to Europe and the West.

Today, they use migrants for such propaganda, migrants whom Western allies have massively displaced from their homes through wars in the eastern part of the world. These migrants are a targeted group behind which terrorist cells are allegedly hiding, although there is no public evidence of such a thing, at least not in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

However, evidence is not very important for propaganda. Because the synchronization of international actions with internal factors in presenting Bosnia as terrorist is becoming increasingly obvious. This has become the modus operandi for separatists like Milorad Dodik, for the Minister of Security who is protected by the police due to criminal connections, Nenad Nešić, and for the Zagreb political branch of HDZ BiH led by Dragan Čović.

They don't even see mujahideen in pictures, but they successfully claim that there are about twenty of their organizations in BiH, and several hundred terrorists themselves.

And it is interesting that since the changes in the structures and leadership of the Intelligence-Security Agency (OSA) of BiH, propaganda producers about terrorists in BiH have found more fertile ground for disseminating fabricated stories. Because it is unclear how OSA BiH managed to thwart a concrete attempt to install terrorists in BiH, and today OSA fails to adequately respond to stories of dangerous intentions that we are a hotbed of terrorists.

And finally, Bosnia and Herzegovina is neither the only country in the world with migrant centers, nor is it alone in terms of terrorist threats. The threat is real in every part of the world, because terrorism is when a Christian American kills his fellow citizens, just as when the perverted mind of a Muslim kills fans in Belgium.

It is just evident that propaganda about terrorism in BiH is a mantra used by all its enemies, because the Western world's fear of that terrorism has become a general societal hysteria, so such a view of Bosnia and Herzegovina helps them in its disintegration!
