I think "Heaven and Hell" is more applicable here.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah!
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies' burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings, oh lord yeah!

So, nobody surmises that this is a BLOG, an opinion piece, and most of the links lead to other opinion pieces?
When somebody is pushing an agenda this strongly, presenting only one viewpoint, it's typically called propaganda.
But go ahead and hate and fear your own governments, it's what these writers want you to do.
Strange that Yesterday on a thread on the Paris attacks I get "flaked" for stating that it was a "false flag".

I question the sources and so doubt their credibility, but at the same time my limited knowledge of conflict and war leads me to believe at least some things like this have occurred. I would argue these things usually happen along very deep and ingrained geopolitical fault lines and idealogy. These're very fundamental things like Communism vs Capitalism and Conservative vs Liberal and Monotheism vs Pantheism (or Polytheism) and so on. (I think it also applies to group-bonding and hostility to outgroups.) On the outside everybody is trying to hug and blow kisses, but it doesn't work and behind the scenes they're plotting against each other. We all got good intentions, but ultimately our nature or world view doesn't align.
EDIT: Maybe I'm being too pessimistic. I know people can bond and get along somewhat. The problem is, one way or another, bonds break down somewhere, someway. The blame always rests on something we can change. And yet I think the blame is squarely on our nature. Or maybe it's on the nature of our universe. But we don't like to acknowledge things we can't change. Nothing is more disabling. So we blame things within reach. We work within the rules of the universe while pretending we're breaking them. In that way, we're actors on a stage; life is art.

Wow, I didn't know these plans went that far back, and once again it seems oil is the driver. I am ashamed of our government.
57 Years Ago: U.S. and Britain Approved Use of Islamic Extremists to Topple Syrian Government
The civil war in Syria, whose Alawite regime Saudi Arabia's Sunny monarchy has long plotted against, and the prospect of a war with Shiite Iran over its reported drive to acquire nuclear weapons, preoccupy Riyadh while, Abdallah, Canute-like, strives to keep the democratic wave from breaking on its shores.
The historic background of the Sunni–Shia split lies in the schism that occurred when the Islamic prophet Muhammad died in the year 632, leading to a dispute over succession to Muhammad as a caliph of the Islamic community spread across various parts of the world, which led to the Battle of Siffin

Indeed, it is run of the mill plotting from the past. And today's problems are the same problems from back then.
The problem with these quotes, is that the people you are quoting were not talking about their own plans. But they were talking about what the allies were doing, US/UK/France.
