Declassified Docs Show ISIS Is More Than An Insurgency
The Islamic State, the Caliphate, ISIS — no matter it’s title, it’s a well-established organization able to survive the West’s attempts at de-stabilizing it. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is the wealthiest militant group in the world, with a war chest of approximately $2 billion.

This look into the underpinnings of ISIS comes from the Harmony Program at the Combating Terrorism Center at the Military Academy at West Point. Since 2005, the program has been analyzing classified documents from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Harmony Database. It was intended to contextualize the inner workings of al-Qaida, its associated organizations and other security threats through the analysis of primary source material. More than 400 of these documents have been declassified and made available for public download.

America’s Allies Are Funding ISIS
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), now threatening Baghdad, was funded for years by wealthy donors in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, three U.S. allies that have dual agendas in the war on terror.
“Everybody knows the money is going through Kuwait and that it’s coming from the Arab Gulf,” said Andrew Tabler, senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “Kuwait’s banking system and its money changers have long been a huge problem because they are a major conduit for money to extremist groups in Syria and now Iraq.”
