Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey’s President

In addition to son Bilal’s illegal and lucrative oil trading for ISIS, Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish President apparently runs a secret hospital camp inside Turkey just over the Syrian border.

Russia’s Sergey Lavrov is not one foreign minister known to mince his words. Just earlier today, 24 hours after a Russian plane was brought down by the country whose president three years ago said “a short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack”, had this to say: “We have serious doubts this was an unintended incident and believe this is a planned provocation” by Turkey.

But even that was tame compared to what Lavrov said to his Turkish counterparty Mevlut Cavusoglu earlier today during a phone call between the two (Lavrov who was supposed to travel to Turkey has since canceled such plans).

As Sputnik transcribes, according to a press release from Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lavrov pointed out that, “by shooting down a Russian plane on a counter-terrorist mission of the Russian Aerospace Force in Syria, and one that did not violate Turkey’s airspace, the Turkish government has in effect sided with ISIS.”

 

It was in this context when Lavrov added that “Turkey’s actions appear premeditated, planned, and undertaken with a specific objective.”

More importantly, Lavrov pointed to Turkey’s role in the propping up the terror network through the oil trade. Per the Russian statement:

“The Russian Minister reminded his counterpart about Turkey’s involvement in the ISIS’ illegal trade in oil, which is transported via the area where the Russian plane was shot down, and about the terrorist infrastructure, arms and munitions depots and control centers that are also located there.”

Others reaffirmed Lavrov’s stance, such as retired French General Dominique Trinquand, who said that “Turkey is either not fighting ISIL at all or very little, and does not interfere with different types of smuggling that takes place on its border, be it oil, phosphate, cotton or people,” he said.

The reason we find this line of questioning fascinating is that just last week in the aftermath of the French terror attack but long before the Turkish downing of the Russian jet, we wrote about “The Most Important Question About ISIS That Nobody Is Asking” in which we asked who is the one “breaching every known law of funding terrorism when buying ISIS crude, almost certainly with the tacit approval by various “western alliance” governments, and why is it that these governments have allowed said middleman to continue funding ISIS for as long as it has?”

Precisely one week later, in even more tragic circumstances, suddenly everyone is asking this question.

And while we patiently dig to find who the on and offshore “commodity trading” middleman are, who cart away ISIS oil to European and other international markets in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars, one name keeps popping up as the primary culprit of regional demand for the Islamic State’s “terrorist oil” – that of Turkish president Recep Erdogan’s son: Bilal Erdogan.

His very brief bio:

Necmettin Bilal Erdogan, commonly known as Bilal Erdogan (born 23 April 1980) is the third child of Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, the current President of Turkey.

After graduating from Kartal Imam Hatip High School in 1999, Bilal Erdogan moved to the US for undergraduate education. He also earned a Masters Degree in John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 2004. After graduation, he served in the World Bank as intern for a while. He returned Turkey in 2006 and started to his business life. Bilal Erdogan is one of the three equal shareholders of “BMZ Group Denizcilik “, a marine transportation corporation.

Here is a recent picture of Bilal, shown in a photo from a Turkish 2014 article, which “asked why his ships are now in Syria”:

In the next few days, we will present a full breakdown of Bilal’s various business ventures, starting with his BMZ Group which is the name implicated most often in the smuggling of illegal Iraqi and Islamic State through to the western supply chain, but for now here is a brief, if very disturbing snapshot, of both father and son Erdogan by F. William Engdahl, one which should make everyone ask whether the son of Turkey’s president (and thus, the father) is the silent mastermind who has been responsible for converting millions of barrels of Syrian Oil into hundreds of millions of dollars of Islamic State revenue.

By F. William Engdahl, posted originally in New Eastern Outlook:

Erdogan’s Dirth Dangerous ISIS Games

More and more details are coming to light revealing that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, variously known as ISIS, IS or Daesh, is being fed and kept alive by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish President and by his Turkish intelligence service, including MIT, the Turkish CIA. Turkey, as a result of Erdogan’s pursuit of what some call a Neo-Ottoman Empire fantasies that stretch all the way to China, Syria and Iraq, threatens not only to destroy Turkey but much of the Middle East if he continues on his present path.

In October 2014 US Vice President Joe Biden told a Harvard gathering that Erdogan’s regime was backing ISIS with “hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons…” Biden later apologized clearly for tactical reasons to get Erdo?an’s permission to use Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base for airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, but the dimensions of Erdogan’s backing for ISIS since revealed is far, far more than Biden hinted.

ISIS militants were trained by US, Israeli and now it emerges, by Turkish special forces at secret bases in Konya Province inside the Turkish border to Syria, over the past three years. Erdo?an’s involvement in ISIS goes much deeper. At a time when Washington, Saudi Arabia and even Qatar appear to have cut off their support for ISIS, they remaining amazingly durable. The reason appears to be the scale of the backing from Erdo?an and his fellow neo-Ottoman Sunni Islam Prime Minister, Ahmet Davuto?lu.

 

Nice Family Business

The prime source of money feeding ISIS these days is sale of Iraqi oil from the Mosul region oilfields where they maintain a stronghold. The son of Erdogan it seems is the man who makes the export sales of ISIS-controlled oil possible.

Bilal Erdo?an owns several maritime companies. He has allegedly signed contracts with European operating companies to carry Iraqi stolen oil to different Asian countries. The Turkish government buys Iraqi plundered oil which is being produced from the Iraqi seized oil wells. Bilal Erdogan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports that are transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers.

Gürsel Tekin vice-president of the Turkish Republican Peoples’ Party, CHP, declared in a recent Turkish media interview, “President Erdogan claims that according to international transportation conventions there is no legal infraction concerning Bilal’s illicit activities and his son is doing an ordinary business with the registered Japanese companies, but in fact Bilal Erdo?an is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.” Tekin adds that Bilal’s maritime company doing the oil trades for ISIS, BMZ Ltd, is “a family business and president Erdogan’s close relatives hold shares in BMZ and they misused public funds and took illicit loans from Turkish banks.”

In addition to son Bilal’s illegal and lucrative oil trading for ISIS, Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish President apparently runs a secret hospital camp inside Turkey just over the Syrian border where Turkish army trucks daily being in scores of wounded ISIS Jihadists to be patched up and sent back to wage the bloody Jihad in Syria, according to the testimony of a nurse who was recruited to work there until it was discovered she was a member of the Alawite branch of Islam, the same as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who Erdogan seems hell-bent on toppling.

Turkish citizen Ramazan Bagol, captured this month by Kurdish People’s Defence Units,YPG, as he attempted to join ISIS from Konya province, told his captors that said he was sent to ISIS by the ‘Ismailia Sect,’ a strict Turkish Islam sect reported to be tied to Recep Erdogan. Baol said the sect recruits members and provides logistic support to the radical Islamist organization. He added that the Sect gives jihad training in neighborhoods of Konya and sends those trained here to join ISIS gangs in Syria.

According to French geopolitical analyst, Thierry Meyssan, Recep Erdogan “organised the pillage of Syria, dismantled all the factories in Aleppo, the economic capital, and stole the machine-tools. Similarly, he organised the theft of archeological treasures and set up an international market in Antioch…with the help of General Benoît Puga, Chief of Staff for the Elysée, he organised a false-flag operation intended to provoke the launching of a war by the Atlantic Alliance – the chemical bombing of la Ghoutta in Damascus, in August 2013. “

Meyssan claims that the Syria strategy of Erdo?an was initially secretly developed in coordination with former French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé and Erdogan’s then Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu, in 2011, after Juppe won a hesitant Erdogan to the idea of supporting the attack on traditional Turkish ally Syria in return for a promise of French support for Turkish membership in the EU. France later backed out, leaving Erdogan to continue the Syrian bloodbath largely on his own using ISIS.

Gen. John R. Allen, an opponent of Obama’s Iran peace strategy, now US diplomatic envoy coordinating the coalition against the Islamic State, exceeded his authorized role after meeting with Erdogan and “promised to create a “no-fly zone” ninety miles wide, over Syrian territory, along the whole border with Turkey, supposedly intended to help Syrian refugees fleeing from their government, but in reality to apply the “Juppé-Wright plan”. The Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, revealed US support for the project on the TV channel A Haber by launching a bombing raid against the PKK.” Meyssan adds.

There are never winners in war and Erdogan’s war against Syria’s Assad demonstrates that in bold. Turkey and the world deserve better. Ahmet Davutoglu’s famous “Zero Problems With Neighbors” foreign policy has been turned into massive problems with all neighbors due to the foolish ambitions of Erdogan and his gang.

    Turkey is a reliable enemy of the west.

    Today, her Islamic overlords support terrorists intending to slit our throats, bomb our cities, rape our women, and behead us. Odd that the former ardent Kemalist of Orange County, Kirlikovali Effendi, supports anti-Kemalists who promote terrorism:

    Turkey has actively helped ISIS by resupplying it with weapons, not to mention treating injured terrorists in its hospitals and allowing them to transit south through her borders. http://www.express.co.uk/news/…

    MIT is the Turkish security service. The Turkish newspaper Cumhurriyet was closed and its publisher imprisoned for telling Turkish readers (and the world) that Erdogan was supplying ISIS w weapons: https://www.rt.com/news/323848.

    Terrorist group Hamas has operated from Turkey for many years with impunity. See Jerusalem Post article dated November 6, 2016 “Analysis: Hamas operating from Turkey as usual despite Ankara’s promises”

    The German government concluded that Turkey is an active sponsor of terrorism.
    Source: http://www.thelocal.de/2016081…

    Turkey harbored a Hamas terrorist until pressure from US forced him to leave. http://www.thetower.org/2730-t…

    A ship loaded with weapons for HAMAS originated in Turkey, and was stopped by the IDF. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-…

    Stop that nonsense it is proved that 75 % of the oil is consumed within Syria the remaining was exported from the Mikail Khodorkovsky wanted from UN Russian Businessmen trading from Latakia to the world which is assumed 20% left over 5% probably traded to individuals to pay bills could be via turkey or other parts of the world. Hence Syria has never been an export nation of oil so there is not much to trade in fact they imported in they past from Jordan to meet the local demand.

    Erdogan and Adolf may be one and the same story. It was in Oct. 2014 that Vice-president Biden blamed the Erdogan regime in backing ISIS with “hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons”. No reaction followed to stop this. The Turks shot down the Russian SU bomber involved in counter-terrorist mission in Syria. No relevant reaction followed. Now there are clear proofs of “nice” Erdogan family business with stolen by ISIS Iraqi oil. No relevant reaction again. Doesn’t it remind you Adolf Hitler story when a dictator transformed into a real monster due to lack of strong opposition on part of the world community?

MR.BERATALBAYRAK , INEXPERIENCED YOUNG FIRST TIME ELECTED MP BUT BECAME A MINISTER(Minister of Energy and Natural Resources since November 2015. He is the SON -IN LAW of the President of Turkey, RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN.) NO COMMENT…

    FACTS AND INFO ABOUT BARZANI (KURDISH LEADER ON NORTHERN IRAQ) DECLARING THAT THE OIL CARRYING TRUCKS SEEN ON RUSSIAN SATTELITE PHOTOS BELONG TO THEM (KURDS) HOWEVER, BARZANI IS IN CLOSE TIES WITH RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN AND IS TAKING ON THE BLAME.

      Unfortunately, US policy is one of the “feeders” of Tayyip Erdogan and his Radical Islamist movement. 2014, ISIS held meetings in Istanbul and had recruiting offices in major cities in Turkey. Since 2005 Radical Islamist movements became more powerful in our everyday life and everyday our nation is moving away from being a secular modern democracy into a Islamic state. However, as always USG is the game maker and radical or non-radical islamists are OK as long as they serve the US policy in the region. USG doesnt care who rules Turkey or what goes on and what is happening to democracy and its instututions. I cannot understand how US is going to gain from this policy a powerful NATO ally the only moslem country an example, once an inspiration to all the non democratic moslem nations within the region is fading away and becoming into an Islamic Republic like so many in the region.

    As a member of NATO, Turkey is being accused of funding a group that has attacked other NATO countries. That puts the treaty in jeopardy of coming apart. This seems like the beginning of something big. I hope people pay attention

It has democracy but it is ruined by Tyrant, USA backed ERDOGAN! You have no idea about what you are talking about. Turkey has 2 sides, very modern and another side that is not. it just depends on where you live. People are just like that too. All the sheep people elected this b….d and modern, educated people did not want him but Erdogan cheated many times on elections. He changed the entire juridical system and assigned his own people all over the place. Since he came, thousands of judges have been changed! He is trying to convert Turkey into Iran but it will never happen! The pro-western people are more than his Arab loving people. HE IS ALSO NOT MUSLIM, ONLY O PAPER! ISLAM PROHIBITS KILLING AND STEALING AND GUESS WHAT, HE HAS BEEN STEALING OUR PEOPLE’S TAX MONEY SINCE 13 YEARS! HE BECAME A BILLIONAIRE OUT OF NOTHING! TURKEY HAS BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST DOMESTIC TERRORISM FOR OVER 30+ YEARS AND SUDDENLY THIS ……. STARTED SUPPORTING THEM! PLEASE DO NO CALL TURKS TERORIST BC NO WE DON’T SUPPORT THEM HE DOES! I CAN’T LET YOU DISRESPECT THE PEOPLE OF MY COUNTRY! IT IS VERY VERY WRONG! WE DON’T DESERVE TO BE CALLED LIKE THAT! I AM ASHAMED THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS OWN FAMILY AND A PRESIDENT THAT SUPPORTS TERRORISM!

          Good old Muhammad was a SHEPHERD, so was MOSES, the temperature well over 55 degrees, in the Middle East, and in that heat, you can easily see HALLUCINATIONS, and you can make up all sorts of stories and believe in it and make other people believe this visions..Apparently, GOD send Talmud Tanakh or Torah, to Moses for Jewish, then hundreds of years later, GOD did the same thing and send Quran to Muhammad, and both of them were VISIONARY and good lier. I always wondered, did GOD had PRINTER up there, WHY did he choose SHEPHERDS, Shepherds are uneducated, not intelligent, slow people, why GOD didn`t bother to send anything else since 1400 ago, did or does he think that after the so called holy books, world got better, well if so, I tell you, either he doesn`t care or he just sits and watching the world and says, what have I done….

You can take your mask off in private and take a good look at yourself. Maybe scary and even you cannot handle it; hence the mask.

        • 5JimBob

          The topic under discussion is this story about Erdogan’s son supposedly at the center of a vast oil smuggling ring. The story is probably so much crap and nothing more than a Russian disinformation campaign.

          As far as blaming “it” on Iran, does Iran have something to be worried about? IF you lay down with Russian dogs (strictly metaphorically speaking) you get up with fleas.

          I’m sure there are Turks on the other end of that chain of tankers hauling oil out of Syria and Iraq. The question is, which Turks.

          Frankly, Erdogan has preferred to starve the Kurds of support rather than give them – or let the Americans give them – assistance to fight ISIS. Erdogan sees ISIS as the lesser of two evils, because he knows that at the end of the day, ISIS is crazy and will eventually self-destruct. The Kurds will be a problem for Turkey years to come.

      Propaganda works both ways, mate. Or do you think that everything the western media says is 100% true all the time? But really, just use your brain a little and think about it. How are ISIS earning money from their oil sales? They have to be selling it to someone. Who can that someone be, given that all around Syria and Iraq all the other countries have oil except for Israel, Jordan, and Turkey.

Who do you think is buying the oil? Europe! Erdoğan and his business partner Nathaniel Rothschild (grandson of the banking empire and king maker Rothschild family) assures that the way remains open. When the dust settles, Turkey will be the distribution terminal into Europe for oil and gas pipelines from Qatar, Syria, Iraq, Israel and Azerbaijan. You won’t read about any of this in the whitewashed US media! I work in the petroleum industry and have been living in Turkey for 26 years.

    the Russian plane was to intimidate Russia as Turkey know they will be
    backed by US and NATO. This looks like a great conspiracy between

    NONE of this is NEWS! To believe that Turkey has not been fully supporting ISIL / ISIS since Syria first broke out in civil war and ISIL / ISIS began their brutal rampage through Syria and Iraq, is nothing short of pure idiocy. Of course they are. The U.S. clearly has the capability of destroying ISIS. Why is it that the U.S, in more than a year, was never able to destroy a single (often miles long) caravan of ISIS fighters or oil tankers transversing the wide open deserts of Syria or Iraq, from one strategic point to another – and yet Russia, since joining the fray, in only a few months, has managed to obliterate dozens. The Russians (today) launch more bombing sorties against ISIS, in a matter of DAYS, than what the U.S. did in MONTHS. We’ve known from day one, that Turkey has been complicit in providing a commercial conduit for the sale of ISIS oil and of providing medical assistance to wounded ISIS fighters, both in Syria and Turkey – and of transporting them in and out of both countries, as necessary. NONE OF THIS IS NEWS!!!!

Why is he feigning ignorance now? Some might say, a typical behaviour of some people who pretend not to understand, shrug their shoulders, while understanding EVERY word. Usually after having committed some crime. “I no understande!!”

    It’s not about religion, America has made a FAKE religious war so they can steal the oil from the M.E… It’s about time we demonised America for it’s religions: GREED, THEFT, GENOCIDE. The fact that it uses proxies to do it, doesn’t make them less guilty of it. Hello, Turkey, that includes you! If you truly believe in God (Allah), then why have you sided with the devil? The eyes of god are upon you.

    When I saw the news report on the downing of the Russian jet – well. The cameras knew exactly where to film it & tracked PERFECTLY the missiles fired from the F16’s. That was a televised event. Pre-planned.

        For a whole century, we’ve dealt with American n Israeli Propaganda. A century prior to that it started with British n French Propaganda which still carries on until today. Now we have Propaganda from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Syria n Russia. Add to that a bit far away in a different context, there’s also Propaganda from India n China. Where will all these lies stop? Nowhere n the displacement of people n loss of innocent lives will escalate…

  • Whytruthhurts

    America has been supporting Israel for the last 60 years with money and weapons and all the support which Israel could get that because America believes that it will keep its foothold on the Middle East and it is no different than that. Turkey should do what is good for its interest regardless of what the Zionists want.Why is it wrong for Turkey to protect its borders and interest in the region when someone who have no right in the region supports and kill Muslims. The Muslims. Turkes and the Arab Muslims should stop seeking American Zionist support but if they don’t then sooner or laer there will be people who will demand the regimes to change their policies towards the West.

  • Mario8282

    Everything about ISIS creation and funding was widely known since more than a year. Why does the corporate media publish such kind of news so late? Is this a case of genocidal expansionist cabal cutting loose a peripheric arm because of imminent dangerous exposure? Anyway, Putin has ruffled some touchy feathers. Expect more!

    Lots of people making lots of accusations. If this huge boot-leg oil smuggling, trading, shipping organization is so well established and been around so long why do we just now hear about it from the Russians only after they have an axe to grind with Turkey?

    With all the actors in that part of the world acting at cross-purposes, why hasn’t this been bigger news much earlier?

    Russians are past-masters of the use of the convenient lie.

    It is messy. USA supports Turkey. USA supports Kurds. Turkey kills the Kurds. USA kills ISIL. Turky supports ISIL. Russia kills ISIL. Russia kills non-supporters of Bashir al-Asad. USA supports non-supporters of Bashir al-Asad. USA supported shooting Russian jet by Turkey. Every body hates every body else.
    USA reports that 30,000 ISIL troops have been killed. There are 20,000 left and they are defecting. USA is winning. So what is the problem?

      I don’t know what to make of the fact that the country that provided 14 of the 19 hijackers on 911 is still our “friend” and that we took out Saddam to make room for Isis and that we’re trying to make more room for Isis by insisting on taking out Assad. Our foreign policy is akin getting rid of an annoying pebble in your shoe by shooting your foot off.
      “USA is winning” – The only thing the US is winning is a propaganda war designed to draw support from gullible people for pointless wars.

      • Yabba Dabba Jew!

        We are not all endowed with the perceptions needed to trace a phenomenon to its roots. These perceptions lead to major discoveries. What you stated is so true and is so funny and it shows how confusing our USA policies because of the encumbrance Americans suffer from as a result of laws, regulations and even Republicans bought by the Zionist Organization to serve Jew only at the expense of the American people.
        Israel wants emasculated Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims to establish the Kingdom of Zion where non-Jews are non-Human and non-Jews are beasts. Iraq was getting too powerful, a plan ten years before 911 was drafted to destroy Iraq. Syria is too challenging and with weapons from Russia and Iran, Syria is a threat to Israel. Syria must go. Saudi Arabia is the financier of USA; Saudi Arabia guarantees the value of the dollar on the International market. Saudi Arabia is more than a friend; Saudi Arabia is holding America up high. Moreover, Saudi Arabia is a colony of USA with many millions of Americans living and prospering from Saudi Arabia. So why kill it? Kill Osama Bin Laden instead. Such policies will backfire.
        Look at the new scenario of war in and around Syria. Study the players. Study the interests of the players. It is very interesting. Deadly but interesting.

Erdogan for all his huff and puff is a tool so are his supporters and their party.

    • BlandlyJammin

      I used to look to Mint Press as an unbiased source of information. It would seem it can be thrown into the propaganda pile along with the rest of MSM.

      The author clearly has the intention of misinforming readers, rather than providing substantial information.

      The goal is to label a boogeyman, then offload responsibility for the larger issue on him, thereby assigning credit to him for something he had little or nothing to do with.

      I have video proof that the CIA was using Turkey as a ‘neutral’ place where they recruited mercenaries to their terrorist ranks. After completing the interview they were shipped off to Qatar for training on private US military training bases. Upon completion of their training the recieved an open scrip to a highly addictive drug which helps create the mental condition necessary to be one of their killing machines, a continual paycheck signed & backed by John McCain, and a position in ISUS.

      Sadly the ignorant outnumber the intelligent, but their ignorance is detrimental to their own existence as well as the rest of humanity.

    • kutup balkaymak

      ISIS never clearly accepted involvement in this massacre or took credit we know how they love prpaganda. However, government involvement and an “extra” reluctant Turkish police and secret service brings up many questions. One of the suicide bombers was the brother of the suicide bomber who killed 34 innocent who in Suruc. The family of the bomber, reported their son(s) involvement in radical Islamist groups and asked the local authorities that they should be detained. After the Ankara bombing ( 109 dead) we found out that the second brother was under surveliance, and the police knew that they were coming to Ankara? After the bombing AKP (once an ANTI NATIONALIST party and blamed anyone who critisized governments peace talks with Kurdish rebels as”BLOOD THIRSTY NATIONALIST’S”) who had lost the majority of the seats (to the opposition on July 7, 2015) in the parliment and came out of the second elections (2 elections in 5 months) with a victory of 49%. Just before the July 7 elections the president saw the danger of his “reign” losing power and started the war with PKK and put an end to the “peace talks” with the rebel kurds. A raising death toll within the Turkish army and police RAISED NATIONALISM amongst the people (once blamed by AKP) pumped by the media channels and explosions here and there A SECOND ELECTION, AKP and Erdogan are back in power. So, in this soup we have Isis, radical Islamist groups, nationalism, PKK, brotherhood of muslims movement, rabia, ISIS oil trade, arms deal Presidents neo-Ottoman fantasy etc etc.

    One More Post on Turkey:

    When the Soviet Union was big time, USA poured lots of money into
    Turkey. Turkey never created anything or developed into anything.
    At the Georgia Institute of Technology, I told the ambassador to Turkey,
    “Why Turkey is so irrational?” He began to go around the bush
    to make Turkey look like the greatest country on Earth when it has been a
    moosher. Turkey does not produce. It only consumes. USA and
    Russia produce and consume. The laws of economics apply to productive
    countries; they are the strongest countries.

    DISARM
    ISRAEL: THE KNOT IS ISRAEL. ISRAEL MUST DISARM TO QUIET THE FIELD.

    By Aviroce

    The rules of engagement have changed. You got all kinds of rattle snakes at war
    against enemies, enemies unidentified. But at the basis of all, USA against
    Russia, USA against Syria, USA against Iraq, USA against ISIS, USA against
    Al-Qaeda, and USA against Shia and USA against Sunni, USA against anyone friend
    or enemy who blocks USA’s access to its interests most of these interests are
    vested in Israel. Now, Russia against USA, Russia against European Union,
    Russia against Israel, Russia against friends of USA. The Field Scenario is
    complex. For me, I feel Russia should emasculate its enemies just like the
    United States is attempting to do. Russia should take action on TARGET: TELAVIV
    AND ONE NUCLEAR BOMB. I believe that will sober all parties. European Union does
    not like Israel. USA does not like Israel but thinks it wants to maintain a
    thorny ally among Palestinians, Arabs and Muslim for present strategic colonial
    positions and for a future share in the wealth of Asia. Russia on the other
    hand sees its stronghold in establishing the only sea base on the Mediterranean
    Sea the best access against colonialism and Zionism to create buddy friends
    with Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. In the absence of USA forcing a
    resolution to the Two-State Solution to Palestinian-Jews problems, USA will
    always be thought of as enemy of Palestine and a rogue state.

    With all the mess I enumerated, I think the best policy for the Russians is to
    ignore ISIL and attack those against Bashir Al-Asad. All parties have agreed
    not to include Bashir Al-Asad in the fight for domination. ISIL will deal the
    blows to the West while Russia will fortify hold in Syria. Notice that the
    downing of the Russian plane was not designed for the Russians; it was designed
    for the English. Two things must have happened. The first is intelligence that
    a bomb will be mounted. The second is diversion of attack. Indicators England
    and Israel might have done the switch. This would be the second time around
    with an attack on Russia. Otherwise, the rattle snakes are going for WWIII . It
    is happening. No one is retreating. Best start is TARGET: TELAVIV AND ONE
    NUCLEAR BOMB. I believe that is the best solution. It will force Israel to
    surrender. It will let USA sober up to its actual national interest. It will
    make the Russians heroes of Palestinian, Arabs and Muslims and partake in the
    wealth of Asia from a strong position.

        TARGET: TELAVIV AND ONE NUCLEAR BOMB is an act of mercy on Jews. Read my analysis today after the UN resolutions.

  • Jerry

    jerry, I was surprised by only one thing in this article, the involvement of the U. S. in supplying & training ISIS, prompted by Israel’s power within the U.S., through its AIPAC financial lobbying group. The education of Bilal Erdogan at Harvard, (President Obama’s alma mater) lends credence to the U.S. influence in Turkey, & other nations in that part of the world, such as the rapid rise to President of the nation of Georgia, by another U.S. educated politician. The Obama administration has a political debt to Israel over the Iran nuclear deal, & part of the payment is the attempt to turn Syria into a total chaos, as they did to another of Israel’s enemies, Libya.

    Where there is smoke there must be some fire and it is time to go to the bottom of the Syrian issue to find out what motivated the foreign meddlers to light so many fires all over the Syrian territoties.

  • Von

    Kill him. Enough games.

  • Can Aydoğdu

    What a full of BS. First of all, ISIS does not have any port, not even a part of land in the coastal area of Syria. And, this photo is from a Turkish newspaper alleging that his ships working for Assad and Russia, which is most likely but a propaganda , but some people apparently took the photo and re-write another propaganda on it.

    Russians work with Assad for him to buy oil from ISIS and sells it through Russian banks. The US has put sanctions of Russians the second time just recently, and revealed the all process with proofs. Putins
    keeps saying it is Turkey who buys the oil, but cannot present any single proof of it. Putin was not the first person alleging it; it was Assad and his ally, Iran. Putin has joined in the group, started participating in Assad’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide against Syrians, and kept repeating the propaganda arguments used by them. Putin knows he is at fault, and uses cheap propaganda that Russia fights against terrorism and Islamic extremism to gain support, while he works very closely with the Islamic terrorist state, Iran, and Assad, the dictator of Syria.

    • John Lyndon

      bull!

      • Can Aydoğdu

        Bull? Typical propaganda with no proof tactic… Show us where ISIS has any access to any part of the coastal area of Syria? There are only two groups who have land under their control in the coastal part in Syria; Kurds and Assad (Russia).

        • John Lyndon

          Your so full of crap your eyes are brown, you like a typical American liberal with your allegations, What? you think they move the oil to markets by osmosis? by teleporting? you think Russia buts the oil? Iran buys the oil? What you say makes no sense…so BULL!!
          No “Can” dog dudo. Ay?

          • Can Aydoğdu

            So, you cannot tell us which part of the coastal area of Syria is under the control of ISIS? Just like I thought, as they do not. And, yes, Russia helps Assad to buy and sell oil from ISIS. Money transfer records through Russian banks DO PROVE IT. That’s why the US has put sanction on some Russians the second time for doing business with ISIS. Talk is cheap, but facts speak for themselves.

            • John Lyndon

              I don’t know what point you try to make Dogdudo, obviously it is the Turks and this man that is capitalizing on the ISIS situation…. maybe is people ie: Russians involved in this illegal activity… but I seriously doubt any involvement by the Russian government…. they will not do anything that would increase supply on the world market like this.

  • Matt

    You can’t be pi$$ed at turkey for saying a border violation isn’t a pretext for war three years ago. You can call it hypocritical but I don’t see it that way. Russia has done some very sketchie things in the three years since that was said. Most importantly on that list is border violations in Ukraine and infiltrating a country in unmarked uniforms and continuous denial of it. When your troops go into Ukraine you deny it, say they must of got lost it was an accident, or say they are on holiday if they wanna fight for rebels they can we can’t tell our troops what to do.

    I hate the fact that a Russian pilot killing terrorists was killed by the ones he was taking out because turkey is a sissy. Russia shouldn’t be their anyway fighting in antiques. Update your Air Force and let others who don’t have left over Soviet litter boxes for jets.

    • Jerry

      jerry, Mat, what does the age of a bomber on a bombing run to destroy terrorist strongholds, have to do with anything, everyone knows bombers, regardless of age, are easy targets for fast fighter planes. The Russian plane was over Syrian territory headed towards its target in Syria, when it was shot down by a newly gifted U.S. F 16, fighter plane, & the Russian plane & its pilot (who was shot as he hung helpless in midair, by terrorists), both, plane & pilot fell 2.5 Km. within Syria. This war is in the middle East, against Sunni Wahabi Moslem terrorists, not in eastern European Ukraine.

      I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. Not only should the oil wells be destroyed, but if Bilal’s ships are proven to be carrying stolen oil from Iraq and oil from ISIL, they should be sunk. Without a means of selling oil to fund itself, ISIL’S day’s will be numbered. The US should revalue it’s assistance to Turkey and whether or not they are truly friends of America.

    THE FOLLOWING IS PROOF POSITIVE that the fears and concerns over the spread of radical Islam IS
    NOT OVERSTATED OR EXAGGERATED and that its global reach goes well beyond ISIS and Al Qaeda in
    the Middle East and now infests large portions of Europe and the African continent and continues to spread
    and grow in many other countries around the world!!…

    THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD and its global reach:

    Although banned and clandestine for most of its history ( It was founded in Egypt in 1928 ), the self
    proclaimed jihadist Muslim Brotherhood has managed to grow throughout the Muslim world, especially in
    Egypt’s neighboring countries—Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories—as well
    as in the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Oman, and Bahrain). The movement has also
    achieved global status by expanding WELL BEYOND its traditional Middle Eastern borders including Eastern
    and Western Europe.
    THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD PROJECT:
    (THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS TRULY AN EYE OPENER!!)
    Below is the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1982 manifesto titled “The Project”, penned by Sa’id Ramadan, the son-
    in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
    The Project was distributed to Muslim Brotherhood members around the world who were ordered to strictly
    guard The Project’s content from outsiders. They did so until November of 2001 when a copy of The
    Project was discovered during a police raid of a senior Muslim Brotherhood financier’s home in Switzerland.
    The Project outlined the Muslim Brotherhood’s 25 strategies, including the deception of Taqiyya, to infiltrate
    and to eventually subjugate the rest of the world under Islam, the so-called “Religion of Peace”. (Noteworthy
    portions are in BOLDFACE):
    “1. Network and coordinate actions between like-minded Islamists organizations;
    2. Avoid open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of
    “moderation”;
    3. Infiltrate and take over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s
    collective goals;
    4. USE DECEPTION to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with Sharia
    law;
    5. Avoid social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term ability
    to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;

    This runs parallel to the historical examples of Vietnam/SE Asia, South & Central America, Iran,9/11, etc. Placing the responsibility on an individual is intended to divert focus from the repetition of the modus operandi.

    Shut the Turkish-Syrian border and end Saudi aid to Islamist groups operating in Syria, and half the problem is solved. Russia needs to win the race to shut the border before Turkey or NATO try to set up their own “safe zone” and keep the contraband flowing both ways.

    All that bombing and little results. Because they were building underground tunnels and no one was getting killed. Only empty buildings above ground. And the bombing raids were few and far between. Not because of innocent civilians, but because Obama knew there was nothing there. He knew about the tunnels, and Turkey backing ISIS through oil dollars. But Assad was all that mattered. All those innocent children, women and men… beheaded and shot. AND OBAMA KNEW!

    • Steve

      US spent millions of dollars training FIVE Syrian rebels (because the rest left to join ISIS). Where did the money go exactly? Why not release the name of those 5 Syrian rebels? Where are they now, did they join ISIS too?

        It’s the tunnels Jerry. If bombing doesn’t destroy them they can still be used as a supply route lifeline. As they are they have ammunition caches galore already.

        • Jerry

          jerry, hazel, Tunnels are very poor method of transferring anything other than a few people, plus a tunnel can be cut at any point , stopping its further use. Tunnels were used to some affect in Viet Nam,, but that was jungle like Terrain, Syria is not. Eventually fighters must come out in order to fight, then they are vulnerable, usually they turn out to be death traps.

    Memory; for years Turkey has tried to join the EU claiming to belong to Europe, they did their best keeping Hagia Sophia away from Muslims and reviving what was before the Turks moved in, with Erdogan things changed a bit he was realizing that the EU would not accept Turkey as a European country so Erdogan changed his aim and turned to his Islamic brothers he did buisness with them, he was a success in Syria before the Arab spring. The Assad family of tyrants are Shi’a, the revoltees are Suny so Turkey had to side with their Suny brothers and so it started, Al Quaïda was first to move in then the split, one part Al Quaïda one part IS. When the going was good economy wise he started to think that he could be a Sultan and get back at those who insists he recognizes the Armenian genocide. Turkey is powerful through their geographical position only, Russia or the US could easely move in and teach them how to walk straight, like it was done in Germany with the Allies axcept that things ain’t done like that anymore.

      • bomonti wallace

        I m not a denial. My point was gasoline trippled in this country. Where the oil goes?

    • Ed Middlebrook

      I’d like to see proof of that! My cousin lives in Latakia, Syria and has been telling me for the last couple of years about Turkey buying oil from ISIS – nothing new. This would be impossible without Erdogans knowledge. As the oil is shipped by truck, do you see any other country within close proximity except Turkey? I’m sure the USA has been well aware of this but refuses to take action because of the strategic location of their air bases in Turkey. When Turkey and Saudi Arabia would not join the coalition it should have been obvious whose side they were on. When I asked my cousin here was her answer: Saudi Arabia was Erdogans largest financial supporter in his election. Why? Because both countries along with ISIS, idiot Senator John McCain’s Free Syrian Army (FSA), etc ALL want a radical Islamic Middle East. She also noted this as the reason Erdogan and the Saudis (said by locals to be the suppliers of the gas used in the Damascus gas attack) are aiding rebels in Syria. Syria is the only secular country in the region with 18 religious sects and no oppression like the Saudis. Doesn’t exactly fit in with the “big picture” does it? How much info has been published about the FSA? I’ve received many emails from my cousin about hundreds (probably thousands by now) of unarmed villagers in her area alone MURDERED by the FSA because they didn’t subscribe to their radical Islamic ideals. This information doesn’t come from someone sitting in a chair talking on the phone. My cousin has gone to these villages to assist survivors and collect information. Sooo, where are the reports to back this up? Mainly USA tainted reporting! They don’t want you to know the truth. They would like for you to think of Assad as the cause of all this. Where did all this begin? Rebels crossing into Syria from Jordan. Jordan is the third largest recipient of US aid – sound a little suspect? My cousin says many of her contacts indicated this mess started because these rebels murdered 68 police officers in the city of Deraa and not because of some so-called peaceful demonstration. Here’s some good reading. Search for: “The “US Hand in the Syrian Mess” and “Hidden Origins of Syria’s Civil War”. These articles are from consortiumnews around july 20. In conclusion, I like to take the information from an “insider” and see if these articles make sense. In this case it makes perfect sense.

    Do
    you think Assad woke up one morning, 4 years ago and said to himself “I
    think I will start killing my own people!”? Or do you think there might be
    some REASON why people are being killed? E.g., Could it be that Sunni radicals (Saudi Arabia Wahhabis and Turkey’s Ismailia)
    are trying to overthrow Assad’s secular regime? What would the U.S. do if a
    large group of people set out to overthrow OUR government?

    ANY country in the world will try to put down such a rebellion. If the
    rebellion succeeds, it could lead to sectarian strife or civil war and hundreds
    of thousands dead, as we see today. Ask Lebanon, Iraq, Lybia!

    But you don’t ask questions or think things through.

    You just recite the War Party line. The War Party tells you to Hate Assad, and
    pretends that everyone Live Happily Ever After once Assad has been killed.
    Revolution is depicted as if it were a lark. The Syrian people know otherwise –
    those who are not out in the streets fighting. They need to make some very sober
    decisions.

    I’m all for reform in Syria. 4 years ago when the rebels were supporting
    reform, I was supporting them. But when Assad started to actually MAKE reforms,
    the rebels suddenly switched from demanding reform to demanding blood and now
    as we all see today with a creation of ISIS/Daesh and Al- Nusra front killing innocent people.
    That’s when I began to see Assad as the LESSER evil. I think he should resign,
    but peacefully, after a transition process is in place.

    It’s important to know when to press and when not to press. Too much pressure
    creates an explosion, and then we lose everything. That happened in Iran in
    1979, and it has taken Iran thirty six years to outgrow the blind revolutionary
    zeal and gain a more pragmatic approach (even though, they are running under a
    theocracy now). Revolution should be a last resort, not the latest fad. If
    we’re not willing to LIVE for freedom, dying for freedom is not going to help
    us.

    • Parham Noori-Esfandiari

      There was an election not to long
      ago under international watchdogs and Assad won, of course no one from ISIS ran
      for presidency. As far as revolution in Iran goes, compare it to French or
      Russian revolution and realize it was not a class struggle but a revolution of
      values and priorities. Wrong or right, Iran objects to Western liberalism and
      brand it as a tool of oppression against humanity and rightly uses Israel as an
      example, how under the approval of Western powers and so called Liberalism Settlers
      from Eastern Europe oppress Palestinians for more than 60 years.

    • tony

      I agree with most of what you said. Assad is not the problem. Mayhem, divide and conquer, greed, control, are the reasons. One is stupid to think these countries want to get rid of Assad because they care about Syrian people and their freedom!! What a joke.

    • Steve

      Nobody learned from Milosevic, nobody learned from Saddam. Now they want to kick out Assad too. His ousting will be the death blow to the middle east.

      Assad is part of the Baath. They are on good terms with Christians. Saddam was part of the Baath and he had huge respect for Christians thats why Iraq was sustainable. As a matter of fact, Saddam ONLY appointed Christians to protect him. I have numerous family that was special forces for Saddam in the late 70s and early 80s and they are Assyrian and Armenian.

      Assad is like Saddam in almost every way. they HAVE to do what they do to keep snakes like ISIS away.

      And dont forget, ISIS started as a rebel faction in Syria. John McCain has pictures of him with “Brave Syrian Rebels” and Abu Bkr Al Baghdadi was in those pictures. McCain posted the pictures himself on Twitter!

      • Troy Tyler

        The one’s that McCain was in the picture had just ate a young boy’s heart…(per a media outlet)…McCain is a war monger he sat his butt in a Vietnam prison and spilled his guts ….It was a good thing he didn’t know to much….or hundreds of Americans could have been killed….Some call him a hero..(I suppose he is to some) but he was just a number to me and all the POW’s that went through what he did….He is nothing special no more than the hundreds of POW’s…………….

      • Adam

        You are saying that the ones who suffered by these leaders should have just suffered silently? Those who had their wives taken because some official wanted a quickie with her (and then killed probably)? Those who had chemical weapons experimented on them? Those who worked as slaves for the government?

        Yeah, maybe keeping Saddam would have kept the area stable, but that would be at the cost of innocents within his own country.
        The mistake with Iraq was not getting rid of Saddam, it was leaving the area with a power vacuum, letting extremists take over.
        If USA would have done it right, they would have gotten both an ally, and a stabler ME.

        • Steve

          The USA was never going to do it right, because everybody was on George Bush’s case about pulling troops out, that was one of the things people hated about Bush. They went on to say that he is keeping troops there to steal oil for his own gain (which was BS) People said different reasons why they wanted the troops out, but we all know nobody wanted to pay the taxes to fund the military venture in Iraq and Afghanistan.

            Sadly, that is true.

All of the blood shed by Daesh and the civil wars is on their hands, yet no one will ever do a thing, while they get filthy rich from lobbying and the like.

    • Ed Middlebrook

      See my reply to bomonti wallace about an hour after your post. I have enough info from my cousin to write a book. Most substantiates what is written here.

    • Halosh

      Very true…

    • Adam

      Not sure you know how the world works.

      Assad as a leader is bad. He is corrupt, steps on the majority (he is part of the minorities, isn’t he?), the population holds a grudge against his family for decades (his father killed quite a few of their citizens as well).
      Naturally, people there do not like him.

      Now there’s the “Arab Spring”. They saw that others managed to overthrow their dictators, it means things can be different!

      So they’ve tried. However, naturally, the rebels are not one stable group that follows the same ideals. Some are the rebels you supported, others are people who want to be the next Assad, some are part of terror groups, and some are outside influence.
      Nothing in this world is as simple as black and white (which is not simple at all – Black and white have many variations that are hard to see until you look close enough).

      Getting rid of Assad is NOT the solution, it’s a stepping stone towards the solution. In order to have a functioning government, you have to get rid of what makes it dysfunctional. Getting rid of Assad is not the only step, you also have to create a working government afterwards!
      In the other countries, this is where they’ve failed due to many factors (Going for another religious leader, letting another country influence the system, allowing a criminal to enter office, etc…).

      By your logic, no one should have gotten rid of Hitler – That way millions of people would not have died in the war, and there would be no chance of an even worse dictator rising. Do you honestly believe that to be the right move?

      • TecumsehUnfaced

        If the British had gotten rid of Winston Churchill, the Germans might have never invaded France, London never suffered the Blitz, and millions in India might not have died from famine.

        I agree that Hitler was pures Scheiss, but so were the others of the ruling elite at the time. When you strip away all the glitter, it’s a frothing mixture of monsters.

        • Adam

          I agree with your second paragraph, but I am not so sure about the first. I don’t think anything would have prevented Hitler from invading (other than getting rid of him much earlier, or at least, not letting him build up an army even though he was not supposed to build one!)
          I don’t know enough about Winston to comment about the part about India – I don’t doubt the possibility.
          You see, history is written by the winner. If the winner was the morally bad guy, they can just vilify the loser in history books to seem righteous. Who knows how much of the clearly known history is true…
          I don’t doubt that if Hitler won, today everyone in the world would believe Jews to have tried to topple the world and Hitler was a hero who prevented that.

          • TecumsehUnfaced

            Right! Who can tell? But Churchill was a rabid Germanophobe, and Hitler knew it. He sat for all those months and didn’t launch his invasion until Churchill became Prime Minister.

            Look up the Bengal Famine of 1942-1943 in Wikipedia, and see what you think.

            You want to see some largely secret history that’s coherent with what’s generally known?

            Who do you think was financing Hitler from the shadows?

            • Adam

              I am not one to believe anything written, that’s why I think history is mostly lost…
              But I will say this – I honestly don’t think Hitler was alone, or even the mastermind. Isn’t he a crazy drug addict? How can he manipulate German so? How could he manage to become strong enough so fast after Germany lost the first WW and being left in such a horrible state?

              I’ve heard of some theories of Jews being behind the scenes. I can’t refute that there may have been some Jews behind it (because Jews, like all others, are humans, and honestly, humans are vile disgusting life forms), but not the entire Jewish population. I’m Jewish, and an Israeli at that, while you may or may not believe me, but I’ve never learned of anything vile while growing up (glorifying killing others? enslaving? “Goyim are slaves to us Jews” as some Jew-haters say our kabbalah says?).
              I do dislike how they (Jews and our education system) glorify David and other Biblical characters who did some disgusting things, but at least they don’t glorify their actions and try to mimic them.

              Also, don’t worry about the disjointed comment or anything, I enjoy debating with others who actually use their brains, it is getting very rare… I don’t claim to be smart or anything, but I do use it, and I will admit mistakes once I find it that I was mistaken. I can’t understand people who would avoid reality jsut to make themselves feel better, or at least, not to be wrong (although, that makes them even worse than wrong…)

    • James Wherry

      Mass, apparently you are younger than 30, or even 25 years old. The Assad family has been doing this for years. No lease wiki “Homs massacre” from 1982.

      While you are at it. Please google “27,000 photos of Syrian torture victims. The countless emac used corpses of “dissidents” bear witness to 40 years of brutality by the Assad’s.

      No: the Assad’s didn’t “just wake up one day and decide to do that.” But in 2011, after the massacre of 100+ unarmed, non-violent protesters, the Sun’ni’s had had enough. Or are you going to tell me that 9 million people who have lost their homes and 250,000 dead were all “terrorists?”

      You are on the wrong side of history.

    • kutup balkaymak

      True, and let me remind you that same Assad and President Erdogan became close friends, the went on holiday together with wifes and all. Border checkpoints between Syria and Turkey were lifed, no more visas between the two nations. Border trade was booming so what went wrong?

  • Eli

    Is this guy an idiot? ISIS bombed Turkey couple weeks ago and Turkey fund them. You have to be a zionist to believe that. Let us suppose Erdogan family is corrupt, will Turkish people vote for them in drove in a free election all the word witnessed. The author of the rubbish forget that Erdogan is in power since 2002 is because he fought corruption. Also the author forgot that Turkey flourished in the last decade because corruption was stopped with Erdogan. The question any analyst must ask. Can corrupt people win a free election? Anyway this is another attempt to tarnish Turkey which will never succeed because FACTS ARE STUBBORNS. FYI the so called expert Thierry Meyssan is a known zionist whose his hate for the muslim word is well reported, therefore objectivity is zero.

    • Hassuneh

      Wonder why a name like Eli will support Erdogan.

      • Eli

        I do not see things through my ideological lens. Lives are lost, so objectivity must prevail. Who is benefiting from ISIS? ISIS attacks Turkey and every Arab Spring, nut Israel a neighbor never attacked. Not Jordan, Emirates…etc. Also who is against it and wants to keep the Arab word under dictatorship? ISIS is the tool to terrorize people in Arab word to choose between dictatorship or death. If Assad stays, ISIS will disappear like salt in the water.

        • Hassuneh

          Putin says it best. ISIS are mercenaries. They go to who pays the most. They were created by the Sunni states to counter the Shia revolution that was happening in Iraq, Syrai and Lebanon. King Abdallah of Jordan said it that they should stop the crecent expansion of Shia. Now, someone else is paying them more. Who is That someone? That is the question.

    • HARDTALK

      Maybe you don’t know the rest of the story. Putin said the same last week.
      Ardogan, Turkey president is practically a dictator. He is also been strongly pushing Islam for the last four years.
      He is making billions with ISIS with their cheap oil. He also want to join the European Union, which won’t as long as Austria exists! The man is bad news.

      • Eli

        You look like an idiot because your ideology is controlling your reasoning. Erdogan is a dictator? Based on what? He largely won a free election a opponent admit it. Is Obama dictator? Is Hollande a dictator? Putin is a real dictator and everybody can tell you that. No for islam in Turkey, you forget it is a muslim country 99%. Here is the US Obama is defending the Jewish character of Israel by criminal ways. He is removing the palestinians to keep the Jews a a majority, basically making the electorate using ethnic cleansing. Stop listening to your rabies.

    • Parham Noori-Esfandiari

      ISIS twice bombed the rally of Erdogan opposition in Turkey
      and Erdogan used it as an excuse to bomb Kurdish citizen of Turkey not ISIS.
      Erdogan is in power since 2002 but they are benefiting from ISIS for the last
      few years. For Erdogan misery of Syrians is of no value compare to his pocket.
      Do you think Erdogan is a Muslim or devil worshiper?

  • PeacEnforcer

    The worst part is not turkey playing on isis’ side – the worst part is the us leadership knowing it for a fact and still covering it up – because on the one hand it helps them with the policy of keeping oil prices down and on the other – uncle sam has all the way been interested in using isis to topple asad.
    It’s the ONLY plausible explanation as to why the year and a half-long campaign by the us-led coalition has yielded such LAUGHABLE results, to say the very least of the very least.
    What’s going on in Syria is the dirtiest geopolitical game the us has ever played in its entire history to date – and an extremely dangerous at that with the most unpredictable consequences one could imagine ((

      general, majors, captains, privates everybody from one day to another unemployed…They have families who have needs like any other human being…Do you think all these military people just went asking for jobs at the local supermarkets, factories, or whatever? First they insurrected. Black Water came in. Things got worst. They re-grouped and formed ISIS (With somebody’s help) and now they hate Shiite, Iranians and Americans.

    Even many Turks are cheering for Putin nowadays, especially the leftist and secular Turks, including me. Erdogan might have about 50 percent support in Turkey, which is really a lot; but most of the rest really hate him ! And, if you think of the population of Turkey, that’s many many millions of people who hate him.

    But, the problem is, through various means, he has obtained almost total control of crucial units of power in Turkey (eg. police, military, judiciary, mainstream media); so, sadly, his hold on power seems strong. For now and in the short term at least.

    Very sad and worrying times for my country 🙁 The country’s reputation is now at an all-time low, due to this Islamist government party, AKP and of course due to Erdogan.

    This is cheap propaganda for Putin and the genocidal Assad regime which has killed the vast majority of civilians in Syria. It was not Turkey but the Assad regime which helped with the rise of ISIS and is now buying oil from them as the US Treasury Dept confirmed recently with sanctions on Putins cronies. As Christoph Reuter showed in Der Speigel, Assad seldom attacked ISIS and vice versa focusing attacks on the mainstream Syrian Sunni majority. Putin has continued with this and 90% of airstrikes have been on the Syrian resistance opposed to both the genocidal Assad regime and the genocidal killers of Daesh. Their strategy is clear, to leave only Assad and Daesh on the battlefield and then force the world to choose between them. This is the same Russia which supported genocide against Muslims in Bosnia and Chechenya and also the bloody coup of the Sisi Junta in Egypt.

    • lafontaine

        Assad is not giving money or arms to ISIL, however it is experiencing MASSIVE blow back, from when it did support terrorism. From 2003-2011, Assad and Iran both gave IEDs and EFPs, arms, movement and intelligence to jihadists going off to fight American in Iraq. Their efforts are credited with murdering more than 1,000 U.S. service men and maiming tens’ of thousands more. Damascus became the “gateway to the West” for Iraq.

And what is insane is that USA is not doing a d*** thing about cutting off ISIS funding for the sake of not offending our so-called ally Turkey. How come Obama has time for a Climate Change summit but no time for dealing with the real threat. And speaking of warming, when a nuke explodes, the temperature is around 4,000 degrees. Is that warm enough for ya?

    • KingHasNoClothes

      Obama is a traitor. He is a defender of Islam – not a defender of freedom or America.

  • Jayhawker

    shocking!

  • Gilbert Lay

    ISIS is representing the religion Islam in it’s most conservative position. They are an extension of the Taliban and Al Qaida, so there will always be those that support the hard line of “Family Values” that conservative Muslims support. And when the Common Enemy aka Communists, Atheists, and Liberals grow to a globally supreme power the Muslims, Christians and Jews that share Gods family values will unite to fight the common enemy again.

    • Patrick

      Are you saying that you want a holy war against Communists, Atheists, and Liberals. What is the difference between that and what extremist Islam is doing right now… Killing in the name of Their God. Are you just waiting to kill in the name of your God?

  • Jem James

    So, why don’t the decent international courts, etc get their act together and take the high-level ISIS-financers to courts (at least, try to do that) ?

    I guess the main reason is that the US continues to support Erdogan’s regime, and as we all know, without the US’s initiative, taking high-level people to international courts won’t happen.

    Will the US ever stop supporting the current government of Turkey ? Time will tell. I am not too optimistic though.

  • Riza

    We already know Turkey is involved with ISIS. This is why Turkey is the point of entrance to Syria when joining ISIS. Hardly surprising at all. I cannot believe I am cheering for the Russians. More power to them. Good for them for telling things as they are. Obama will just give a chuckle or insulting sneer when asked hard questions.

    • Jem James

      Even many Turks are cheering for Putin nowadays, especially the leftist and secular Turks, including me. Erdogan might have about 50 percent support in Turkey, which is really a lot; but most of the rest really hate him ! And, if you think of the population of Turkey, that’s many many millions of people who hate him.

  • Mike Sotarios

    I beg to differ with the author of this article, it is the Zionists and their leader Crime Minister Polish Benevil Satanyahu who created the terror group for the purpose of destabilizing Syria and keeping Iraq in Turmoil. The U.N. has proven facts that the Zionists are the ones who are sustaining the terror group militarily and financially.

    • Ronald Gunn

      So The U.N. has proven facts, So why don’t the wimps in the U.N. act on these so called proven facts? Because like I said they are all wimps.

  • littlerounder

    Hey Mr. Obama, since you think Turkey is an ally and since ISIS is Turkey’s ally, maybe you should consider asking ISIS to join NATO. Thoughts?

    • Ronald Gunn

      Don’t put thoughts like that in his head because if he feels it will hurt Americans or America, it will be done.

  • Dshah

    The Islamic terrorism is what is keeping everyone awake at night and now we know better those who are behind this scourge. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are the brains and brawns of ISIS. Europe and America need to treat these nations with deep suspicions and caution. Turkey has lost all credibility and should be kicked out of the NATO. The world tourism should scratch off this nation because it has virtually thrown away all the moral goods accumulated from the days of Kemal Attaturk and is now drifting towards Islamic raidcalism. Same for Saudi Arabia which has used Western markets for it’s oil to gather wealth while terrorizing it’s population under phony Sharia programs to keep maintain power.

  • littlerounder

    Between Russia and Turkey, there is one country that sponsors Islamic terrorism. And it is not Russia.

  • Dshah

    It is about time the world leaders realize who is the real enemy. The Islamic terrorism is what is keeping everyone awake at night and now we know better those who are behind this scourge. Turnkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are the brains and brawns. The trade and tourism are the biggest weapons and the non-muslim nations in Europe have no alternative but to exercise these options short of war.

  • Ted Stanwood

  • JK

    so maybe the real goal is to establish the historical caliphate in a new ottoman empire. If that’s all they want and the majority of Turks are ok with it, maybe we should just negotiate a small homeland for the Kurds, in exchange for a new caliphate based in Turkey and no more terrorist attacks on the west coordinated by ISIS. The only party that would severely be opposed to this is Saudia Arabia. Everyone else gains something and there would be no more need for senseless brutality.

    • JK

      There is even plenty of historical precedence for this plan. When the Roman empire split into the Byzantine and Western Roman Empire, and Catholicism further split into various Eastern Orthodox and Coptic branches as well as Roman Catholicism. Saudia Arabia still gets to be the leader of their brand of Wahabi Islam, Turkey and ISIS can be the historical Caliphate, and even Iran can still be the leader of Shi’ite Islam, and we can all bury our guns and peacefully coexist. Or you know, keep fighting over control of trillions in oil wealth, whatever we prefer.

      • KingHasNoClothes

        Islam will never be at peace with anything non-Islamic. After 1400 years of barbarism we should have learned that by now.

        • JK

          You should read more carefully through the history. There were periods were the Ottoman Empire was very peaceful and allowed for a great deal of religious tolerance. They were such a large and wealthy empire, there was really no need to persecute anyone. Thats when Russia and the UK stepped in to create the mess we have today in the Middle East. It is a much different situation today because of all the oil wealth, but it is fundamentally incorrect and demonstrably false to say 1400 years of barbarism proves your point.

  • Maximus Djingo

    who created and trained them???????? that is the question and why???? a wonder why they were killing all Muslims, and only few Christians. it make since now.

    ISIS militants were trained by US, Israeli and now
    it emerges, by Turkish special forces at secret bases in Konya Province
    inside the Turkish border to Syria, over the past three years. Erdo?an’s
    involvement in ISIS goes much deeper.

    • KingHasNoClothes

      You misunderstand. (Sunni Muslim) ISIS are killing what to you are simply “Muslims” – but the ones they are killing are Shi’ite Muslims which to ISIS are NOT Muslims but are “Apostates” who must be killed.

      • Maximus Djingo

        Wrong, I am Muslim and I go to Meddle East all the time, I was there for straight 3 years, most of you don’t know nothing? where did you get your info? do you know anything about Islam? where you there? please shut up, ok here is a test. who is the 13 khoulafaa Rachidine? youhave to be a pure 100% Muslim and Arab to know this. not even Asian Muslims do not understand religion lack of language

        • KingHasNoClothes

  • Maximus Djingo

    Thank God the truth started coming out little by little. I told you so before but you keep saying no way, they want to kill us all. now here it is in your face. US and Israel created ISIS and trained them too. who is the terrorist now?? Christians? or Muslims?

    • Sedat Celik

    • IsaacBlack

      Israel didn’t create them. they are a tiny country and their biggest danger is the growth of Iran. Notice how the Iranians are fighting so hard. They also have their own goals of owning all that oil and those ports. Having muslims fight one another keeps them from looking at them.

  • Zam Zam

    Saying all along. Turkey = ISIS. And the French and Americans can say they want about having ISIS out and destroyed as much as they want, but they can’t even handle their NATO buddy Turkey from closing its borders with ISIS, giving ISIS money, supporting ISIS militarily, and buying ISIS oil!!! ISIS is Turkey’s offshoot and everyone in the world except for the FRENCH and AMERICANS seem to realize ISIS is there due to Turkish and Saudi money and power to kick Assad out of power. So, who’s side are the Americans and French on? Turkey’s side which is supporting ISIS? Or Assad and the Russians who are fighting ISIS? I’m guessing at this point Hollande and Obama are confused little children who are stuck in Turkey’s mess and don’t know how to tell their stubborn redheaded stepchild Turkey to cut their lifeline to ISIS.

  • Charles Reed

    Destroy the ships transporting the oil.

    Demand that Japan help end the ISIS stranglehold.

    DEMAND the return of all SYRIAN artifacts from the US and elsewhere.

    Present all the intelligence to OBAMA and then to the PUBLIC if he denies that this is so.

        Did you read the article?

        • James38

          I would like to see more investigation of the oil going to Japan. Some sites say it is, others that analyse the movement of oil in Syria and Iraq don’t mention Japan as a destination.

          It should be easy enough to follow the tankers by satellite and report their progress daily and clearly show the destination.

          I am going to try Google Earth and see how recent their images are. Are there other public sources for satellite observation in real time?

          • Clive Ocna

            Obviously Russia has been doing that. The West too but that would destroy their ideological authenticity.

  • Terry

    There are a lot of ISIS supporters on here supporting the terrorist country Turkey

  • Anonymoose

    So lemme get this right:
    You got the Russians Syrians Iranians on one side trying to take back Syria from the various splintered groups and Isis,
    Then, you got the US and NATO including Arab nations supporting the rebels and Isis
    Then you got the Kurds whom the US and NATO supports fighting Isis
    Then you have Turkey whom are attacking the Kurds but supporting Isis
    But the US and NATO both support Turkey.

    On top of that you have a sudden influx of refugees from everywhere flooding Europe where Turkey now promises to stem the tide IF the EU will give it billions and free visas and a streamed line process for them to join the EU when, overnight, their currency will turn into the Euro?

    Wow, looks like Turkey has been working hard while everyone else was dozing off!

    • Zam Zam

      One thing that can be said is that Turkey is a country with shrewd politicians and leadership that always looks toward the future. They don’t just look at the now, they look at the then and how they will be looking as a country then in the future. I agree with you, they have done a lot to put themselves in this favorable position and worked at it. I just don’t see them, though, moving forward for too long with this same agenda. The Russians are cutting them off economically. And if they aren’t able to control ISIS and ISIS global terrorism gets out of hand, US and France will then create a coalition to destroy ISIS. At that point, Turkey is going to have to take a stance. Either keep ISIS, their little project, alive and risk losing power and leadership to US/France coalition with Russia? Or join the coalition and cut ties with ISIS. I see them doing number 2. Turks are not going to fight the Russians and the coalition. I don’t see that happening.

      • James38

        Turkey under Erdogan has slipped back into being a Sectarian State. Erdogan is a radical supporter and ultra-faithful member of his religion, and does not understand the importance of the separation of church and state. He appears to want to be a religious dictator.

        This is a basic problem in numerous countries, including Saudi Arabia. It needs to be dealt with.

        • Zam Zam

          I agree, but so far people in those countries are not being heard. Turkey continues to jail and kill media and journalists who oppose Erdogan. They slam down on protestors with force. And can you imagine anyone in Saudi Arabia protesting? They would chop off a lot of hands. That’s all i can tell you. In the end, OIL wins. And as long as those countries provide US and EU with their OIL interests, they’ll remain in power.

    • PKRock

      Sounds like the US administration is either exceptionally inept or something smelly is going on with it.

  • And again

    ISIS opposes Assad and Iran. Turkey opposes Assad. Israel opposes Assad and Iran. TO varying extents, you may say that Turkey and Israel are allied with ISIS.

    • PKRock

      Its been clear a long time that Turkey supports ISIS. But there is no evidence that I have seen that Israel is involved.

  • BoomerBob

  • ujur

    “in fact Bilal Erdogan is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.”

    Add a few words will make the sentence even more appropriate:
    “in fact Bilal Erdogan is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office, WITH THE BACK OF US AND THE COALITION, he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.”

    This is why the more, the ‘harder’ US’ ‘fighting’ ISIS, the terror organization grows stronger and bigger.

  • Jonathan Swift

    This is nothing new. Anyone who is up on this stuff knows Erdogan wants to be Caliph and refound the Ottoman empire. Saudi Arabi is involved as well. Now all of a sudden Russia cares about state sponsored terrorism.. after decades of supporting Iran which is probably the biggest state sponsor of terrorism till now.. it is an issue? Russia better be careful. The bordering Stans are all part of the oldest areas of Muslim culture.. and they could end up with a messy situation on their borders. Sadly all of this is something the US and Europe can do little about as we need Turkey to fight Isis and it was vital for the Iraq war… and technically Turkey is part of NATO. If Russia is stupid enough to start a war with Turkey NATO will have to back Turkey.

    • JK

      It’s looking like a replay of World War 1, which was mainly a fight between Russia and the Ottoman Empire culminating after decades of Russian aggression toward the Ottomans and the Ottoman Empire being so vast as to appear spread to thin and vulnerable to other Western Powers who couldn’t wait to break it up and get their hands on some of it. Look at all the French and British colonies and protectorates established after WW1. People think it was all about the Balkans and Franz Ferdinand. Nope, it was Russia v Turkey the Balkans were just an excuse to side with whatever side was naturally in a nations best interest and sell the war.

    • James38

      At this point, NATO needs to confront Turkey and say “No more support for ISIL/DAESH or you are OUT of NATO. Not just no more buying ISIL oil, but you must fully cooperate with the fight against ISIL and quit attacking the Kurds.”

      May as well get the UN woken up and in the mix telling Turkey that they must participate in giving the Kurds a homeland, which will involve giving them some of Turkey’s area.

      Otherwise Turkey can just try to imagine what going it alone might mean, especially under Russian sanctions. Just for one thing, no more spare parts for their fleet of US built fighters.

      See how long Erdogan’s popularity holds up with the economy of Turkey in shreds.

          I wonder what your research is… Media? The fact that Israel avoids confronting ISIS? (Which will create a total war) Israel healing Syrian refuges (unlike the rest of the world taking them in instead?)

              A few times.
              Now, you are saying, a group that is being attacked on all sides should start another front against Israel? Is there any logic to this move? I don’t see any. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
              Also, by that logic, Japan is an ally of ISIS, so are most of the countries in the world. Interesting.

                    • Adam

                      Right back at you.

                      The same link you provided has an example section, in it, there’s a link about Israel not an apartheid.

                      Also, “any system or practice that separates people according to color, ethnicity, caste, etc.”
                      This is the definition of apartheid you provided. This does not happen in Israel. EVERYONE passes checkpoints – in the malls, central bus stations, train stations, border, etc…

                      Also, the only reason Palestinians might get different treatment is due to, I dunno, their general behavior and tendency to literally explode? And that is only towards those who live under PLO’s jurisdiction, because they approve and even reward that behavior.
                      Nothing to do with “color, ethnicity, caste, etc…” but real live risk they pose.

                      But you wouldn’t care, you just want to blame Israel.
                      If you cared, you wouldn’t be making a fool of yourself.
                      If you cared, you would be angrier at the Arabian countries who treat Palestinians even worse.
                      If you cared, you would have known Israel is just around 17% of the region of Palestine and you would have held the rest (Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria) accountable for most of the Palestinians.
                      But you don’t.

    This is not surprising at all. Erdogan is a huge supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and has been for years since he got into office. What does the Muslim Brotherhood support? The exact same thing that ISIS does only using the democratic process. They are all EVIL. US foreign policy needs to change to reflect this. But it won’t happen under the Obama administration because he refuses to acknowledge these matters thereby becoming complicit in them, and by extension the US becomes complicit in them a well.

        No comma would indicate ‘fish that is three days old’. And since the word ‘fish’ is both singular and plural, there’s no indication that it’s only one fish. So, basically, it stinks either way.

  • pfbulmer

    If this is true it is much worse than people even imagined , and the fact that this it is so damming for the Nato alliance is likely to be true . Turkey should be be kicked out of Nato . They are far too much of a loose cannon to be allowed to continue . Nato is meant to be a defensive organisation ,the shooting down of the Russian plane was not a defensive action ! And more reason why Britain should stay out of Syria and focus on Iraq, though without some sort of deal between Russia and Iran and the Shiites one side, Saudi and Turkey, and Sunnis ,we are heading for a major regional if not global confrontation !

  • bob2

    It was Turkey all along.

  • David Crosby

    Excellent article and right on target. Erdogan started trying to make nice when the Russians fired a shot across his bow by hinting through their public comments of allowing an intelligence leak revealing all the above. The Russians have been hitting the targets that Obama wouldn’t–oil trucks, smuggling checkpoints, etc. Erdogan took a calculated bet that he could back them off by shooting down an aircraft. That was a big mistake. Obama is easy to control and manipulate–Putin not so much. By moving in S-400 air defense artillery systems he can now control the airspace well into Turkey and all of Syria. That basically makes Syria a no-fly zone for Turkey because Putin’s forces work with Assad, who is the legal authority in Syria. It also means American and allied air forces will have to coordinate with Russia on air operations or risk shoot down. Russia has no interest in shooting down an American attack aircraft, but it does in keeping Turkish aircraft at bay, which strike Kurdish targets inside Iraq and Syria rather than IS targets. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has allowed Turkey to take actions that will dam it later in history. They have basically been assisting by turning a blind eye to the new Nazis of our time as they commit genocide. Oddly, it is Russia that is doing the heavy lifting on this one. I can’t wait for Obama to head into retirement. It is long overdue.

  • PhillipNagle

    For those of you wondering why it took the Obama administration so long to bomb an ISIS oil convoy, now you know. His friends in Turkey were making money by reselling ISIS oil and supplying them with arms. Obama’s condemnation of ISIS has been mere lip service.

    i thought isis and “islamic extremists” were just a small minority that didnt represent islam?? now we see that the president of turkeys son is funding these animals!!..al jazera did a recent anonymous poll and 80 percent of the worlds muslims supported isis!!! wake up people!! we are at war with islam aka the religion of peace!!! france will be a muslim majority in france in 40 years based on current immigration and birth rates….this needs to end, its no longer about making sure muslims interests are taken into account, its now time to ask ourselves, if the middle east is islamic, what then are white christian lands??? should islam inherit all of europe and make whites a minority in their own homelands or else be called a racist!!! this is about white christian and jewish survival and i will not be called a racist for refusing to be displaced from my native lands and watch my race go extinct!!!!

    charity and a liberal immigration policy is one thing, but there absolutely needs safety measures in place ensuring that whites never become a minority in their own lands…europe and the usa for that matter should never let that happen and a law should be passed prohibiting any immigration if white numbers drop below say 75 percent…its not racists to ensure you are not displaced from your own lands!!

      Also this morning Erdogan arrested two generals who stopped the convoy of trucks crossing the Syrian border last year carrying weapons to ISIS who the MIT, Turkish secret service said was humanitarian aid to the Syrian refugees.
      This is an old story that is just beginning to find its way here in the US.
      Everyone in Turkey knew about it so did Obama, the state department and the Europeans.

    I was reading with interest until I got to the line of “ISIS militants were trained by US, Israeli and now it
    emerges, by Turkish special forces at secret bases in Konya Province
    inside the Turkish border to Syria, over the past three years.” Bullshit yellow journalism. You really expect us to believe, without any corroborating evidence, that Israeli and US agents were in Konya during the past three years training ISIS militants? Because Turkey and Israel have been getting along so well these past several years, and if anything happens in the Middle East it must be the Mossad that’s behind it. Pathetic. I know the founder of Mint Press is Palestinian, so now I see that everything — reality in fact — gets filtered through that lens. Unbelievable.

    • Brian

      I call bs on the Israeli part also. However, there is sufficient corroborating evidence that US agents and Turkey were training and arming rebels who are now fighting for isis.

      • Selcuk69

        True enough Brian. But to imply that the US was “training ISIS militants” as opposed to Sunni Arabs who promptly defected to Jabhat al Nusra and ISIS is yellow journalism if I ever saw it. These kinds of failed US training programs are what finally pushed the Washington to support the Syrian Kurds against Turkey’s wishes, because the US actually does want to defeat ISIS (although you certainly wouldn’t know it if you read the likes of Mint Press — this “media site” should be linked to infowars.com rather than coming up on my Yahoo news feed when I go to log in to my e-mail, which is how I originally clicked on this sorry excuse for an article.

    • hyejack

      You really think Israel has no hand in all this turmoil that’s going on in the Middle East?
      When Arabs fight each other, means peace for Israel.

      • Selcuk69

        Lazy conspiracy theories endemic in the Middle East (probably because state media there has been lying to people all their lives) — just because actor ‘x’ benefits from a change does not mean they precipitated it. The Mossad and the CIA are not nearly as omnipotent as people seem to think they are. But really — if you think ISIS and Israel are in bed together, nothing I say will change your mind. Nothing that is real will change your mind, in fact.

    It is all making sense now. Turkey, specifically Erdogen’s family, is profiting handsomely from selling oil for ISIS. Shooting down a Russian jet is to make sure that NATO will not be cooperating with Russia to defeat ISIS. In the meantime, Turkey can use the pretense of fighting ISIS to destroy the Kurds.

      I think Turks discredited themselves already at the soccer game with Greece.

        Turks didn’t! Those Erdogan supporters who were handed free tickets basically bused to the Soccer game that day certainly did.
        Not every Turk was in attendance at that soccer stadium that day. As a Turk watching the same soccer match a friendly game between to usual enemies Turks and Greeks, a rare event was a terrible display of disrespect for everyone. I cringed while I witnessed the disrespect shown during the playing of The National Anthems. It was not a pretty sight and certainly nothing to be proud off.

    • James Wherry

      Normally, I’d agree. However main-stream media has reported the Turkey-Sa’ud-ISIL-al-Nusra connection for more than a year.

      What I don’t want people to lose perspective about is that Assad – the butcher of Damascus – is pure evil that should be stopped. Given the way Muslims use “hatred of America” to unite around, though, America’s involvement is pointless and should be avoided AT ALL COSTS in Syria. Arm the Kurds. Arm the Christians. But don’t get involved with the other groups, at all.

          Not exactly. They are first and foremost “Yezidi,” and not Muslim. A lot of those crypto-Yezidi are beginning to shed their Muslim disguises which they were forced to adopt to survive, as well.

          But they have a shared experience of suffering and so they are Muslim, Yezidi, Ba’hai and even Christian and still get along well. I met some of them during my time in Kirkuk with the U.S. Army. I’ll take them any day.

          (However, see: 1.) the Armenian genocide of 1915; and 2.) the 1959 massacre of the Turkomen in Kirkuk and Tal Afar. It’s not an entirely NICE history!).

      • Terry

        The United States had planned to topple the Syrian
        government in 2006 long before conflict broke out in the country in 2011.

        A cable from US Ambassador William Roebuck, who had been stationed in Damascus in 2006, shows plans for overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

        The plan was to create paranoia within the Syrian government; to push it to overreact, and to make it fear a coup.

        The key components of the plan were to foster tensions between Shias and Sunnis, creating and promoting rumours and exaggerations “that were known to be false” against Iran with the help of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

        Part of the problem in Syria is that, a number of US allies surround it, principally Saudi, Qatar, Turkey and Israel and they are funnelling in weapons. They each have their own hegemonic ambitions in the region. If Syria sufficiently destabilized, Israel will keep the Golan Heights forever, or advance that territory as the “Greater Israel Project” sets out.

        According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies — especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel — are supporting militants operating inside the country.

          Look, I CONDEMN the neo-cons as idiots and “warmed-over liberals” trying to use “LIBERAL military interventionism. REAL conservatives like Barry Goldwater always worked to keep us OUT of wars. Glad for it. We are military isolationists and PROUD of it and the truth is so are more than 2/3’s of all Americans.

          But the truth is that the Bush administrations fantasies ran smack dab into 1.) Fallujah and the need for the Surge; and 2.) the 2006 elections. After that, there was no hope for such fantasies.

          And no: I have never voted for the POTUS, but President Obama is NOT President Bush. He surrounds himself with anti-military Leftists who think we should be in a cage. (Despite the fact that THEY have taken our INTEL and adulterated it for their own ends).

There are also ideological differences. Turkey has always strived to be pro-Western, Secular Islamic Democracy. Under Erdogan there seems to be a race to run back to the 16th Century. Erdogan and his followers who insist on putting him back in office are not ready to blend and be part of Europe yet. Human rights violations, jailing of journalists, arresting of students and others for their exercise of Free speech is not something EU would or should accept. They need to visit this later after Turks have managed to get rid of this despot and elected a modern secular man or woman tp represent them on the world stage. As it is, Erdogan is more suitable to be part of Muslim Brotherhood not EU.

  • Mark Overholt

    This is the 1st I am seeing any accusations of anyone directly linking ISIS and profiteering from stolen oil to Turkey. after the downing of the plane and the connection to the oil truck convoy which was destroyed recently ( by the USA who is “turning a blind eye” not!) who was the buyer while Russian Intel might have known this the American Intel might have not made the connection. we are dealing in an area of the middle east where Russia might have better Intel then the States. as the offer for closer air support locations were attractive to the States there must be a reason? (maybe because we have none closer than turkey).

    Since at least the 1800’s, it’s been called “The Great GAME”…. It’s Global-geopolitics….Using “nations”/”countries” as pawns, as chess pieces, as bargaining chips. It’s poker, and roulette, and craps and blackjack. The “bank” is whatever “Central Bank” you want to mention. This is what the “GREG B.’s” **DO**. They PLAY the GAME….
    I’m inclined to agree that this story is more likely than not to be **TRUE**. So what? 100’s of years ago, there was
    a different set of players, but it’s the same game, and the same GREG B.’s – the Global Ruling Elites & Global Banksters. The media – **ANY** media – is just another PROPAGANDA TOOL. It doesn’t matter who is saying what.

      • Terry

        The United States had planned to topple the Syrian
        government in 2006 long before conflict broke out in the country in 2011.

        A cable from US Ambassador William Roebuck, who had been stationed in Damascus in 2006, shows plans for overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

        The plan was to create paranoia within the Syrian government; to push it to overreact, and to make it fear a coup.

        The key components of the plan were to foster tensions between Shias and Sunnis, creating and promoting rumours and exaggerations “that were known to be false” against Iran with the help of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

        Part of the problem in Syria is that, a number of US allies surround it, principally Saudi, Qatar, Turkey and Israel and they are funnelling in weapons. They each have their own hegemonic ambitions in the region. If Syria sufficiently destabilized, Israel will keep the Golan Heights forever, or advance that territory as the “Greater Israel Project” sets out.

        According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies — especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel — are supporting militants operating inside the country.

        • James Wherry

          Terry, you are making a false connection. Yes, several people in Bush’es administration made that plan (I don’t blame them). But with the Surge and the terrorists that Assad and Iran sent streaming into Iraq, that idea came to an end. I’m sure there is a falacy that this is called and I don’t have timet to look it up.

          • Terry

            James, the terrorist are ISIS, not Assad.

            • James Wherry

              ISIL is a group of terrorists. Assad is a person who is a terrorist. That’s the only difference.

              In 2011, as a result of the Arab Spring, unarmed, non-violent demonstrators demanded greater democracy. Assad sent in his goons and shot up a few hundred of them and brought the rebellion on himself.

              A Syrian defector recently brought out 27,000 photos of the emaciated corpses of the Assad regimes’ victims from the past few decades. The photos showed clear indications of torture and hey: why feed someone you intend to murder, anyway? Those photos were on display at the Holocaust Museum and have since been authenticated.

              Yep: Assad’s a terrorist.

      • vartan_mamik

        Right. Just like Sadaam was the biggest threat 10 years ago. I wouldn’t exactly call that analysis prescient.

Now the NATO cartel will play hunt the terrorists as the have been caught in the spotlight as aiding and abetting terrorism.

    • James Wherry

      I do not believe America is intentionally funding ISIL or al-Quaeda. There simply is no evidence of it. What there is evidence of is that arms provided by the USA and trained Soldiers trained by the USA have gone over to both of those group and THAT is why I do not believe getting involved in other people’s civil wars, no matter how well-intentioned we may be.

      But blame the butcher of Damascus for this mess. After weeks of non-violent protests in 2011, Assad sends his goons in and murders more than 100 protesters. Having had enough, the Sun’ni’s decide to take up arms and defend themselves and Assad retaliates. Assad has dislocated or driven out of the country 9 million of his slaves and murdered 250,000 of them. Anyone abetting and siding with Assad and with Iran is guilty of complicity for these murders. My they burn in whatever form of h@ll you conceive of.

          Has it ever occurred to you that someone can disagree with you and not be a paid conspirator? It seems arrogant of you to suggest otherwise.

          1. So where are we now, eh? Clark’s disgust with Sytia and Iran are spot on: I despise them, too. But it never happened. We became mired down with “the Surge” and the neo-con’s got their heads handed to them, justifably (regretfully, my fellow Soldiers had to give blood, sweat and tears to win back what we had lost by stupid “LIBERAL military interventionism,” when traditional conservative military isolationism would have carried the day.

          2. Amazingly, the current guy in the White House – IS BLACK!

Personnel, equipment and supplies have gone over the ISIL and al-Nusra – as I predicted it WOULD. Dumb move, but not the intentional evil you imagine.

          I’m a Republican. When SEN McCain urged us to support the FSA, I CONDEMNED HIM, for his move and PRAISED Barak Obama, when he pledged to stay out. Now that I find we did NOT stay out, I am angry and I should be.

      • Terry

        The US strategy of regime change in Syria has failed.

        The US’s inability to create any so called moderate forces in Syria shows the complete unreality of its strategy and program.

        The US supports Daesh and manages it for its regime change goals in Syria.

        The US began the war against Syria in an attempt to break up Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon alliance on behalf of Israel and the “Greater Israel Project.” It’s ironic that instead of seeing a breakup, what we are seeing is a solidification of an alliance between Iran, Iraq, Syria, Hezbollah and they now have a great power patron from outside the region – Russia.

        • James Wherry

          Assad started this war. He is HARDLY a “success story.”

          “The Syrian Civil War (Arabic: الحرب الأهلية السورية‎) is an ongoing multisided armed conflict with international interventions[78] taking place in Syria. The unrest began in the early spring of 2011 within the context of Arab Spring protests, with nationwide protests against President Bashar al-Assad’s government, whose forces responded with violent crackdowns. The conflict gradually morphed from prominent protests to an armed rebellion after months of military sieges.[79]”

        TURKEY ARRESTS JOURNALISTS WHO EXPOSED ERDOGAN’S WEAPONS SMUGGLING TO EXTREMIST SYRIAN REBELS

        One of Erdogan’s key contentions in the ongoing diplomatic spat with Russia is that everything that Russia has accused Turkey of doing, from funding the Islamic State’s oil purchases, to providing weapons for Syrian “rebels” intent on eradicating the Assad regime, is unfounded slander without a shred of evidence.

        Here is the problem: evidence does exist, as we showed two days ago, when we presented the role Erdogan’s son Bilal has played in ISIS oil transit, and not only that but also proof that Turkey has been smuggling weapons to Syria as the editor and a reporter from Turkey’s Cumhuriyet newspaper showed some time ago.

        And in order to eradicate the evidence against him, yesterday Erdogan did what every dictator does when feeling threatened: he had the editor and his reported detained, jailed and accused of espionage precisely over the controversial story about an alleged arms shipment from Turkish
        intelligence to Syrian rebels.

      Turkey collaborating with the Islamic State (ISIS). From military cooperation and weapons
      transfers to logistical support, financial assistance, and the provision of
      medical services.

      President Erdogan and Prime Minister Davutoglu strongly deny complicity with ISIS.

      Columbia University’s Program on Peace-building and Rights assigned a team of researchers in the United States, Europe, and Turkey to examine Turkish and international media, assessing the credibility of allegations.

      This report draws on a variety of international sources — The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, BBC, Sky News, as well as Turkish sources, CNN Turk,Hurriyet Daily News, Taraf, Cumhuriyet, and Radikal among others.

      The recent shoot-down of a Russian Su-24 jet in Syria and subsequent events have exposed Turkey’s role in supporting ISIS to the world community. There’s no longer any excuse for ignoring it.

        You want proof, in Libya there is a terrorist organization called Libyan Dawn located in the city of Misurata that has tortured, murdered, pillaged, ect. Its leaders are all known terrorists like the Al-Qaeda general Abdelhakim Belhadj who funds another terrorist group called Ansar-al-sharia an affiliate of ISiS.

        This puppet organization is made up of terrorists and criminals with dual citizenship and was formed by the UN and now its being forced on the Libyan people against the official democratically elected government.

        In the picture is Bernardino León of the UN in charge of the negotiation he was last caught taking bribes he is in the photo with a Terrorist, now they changed him for a bigger criminal martin kobler known for other criminal activities in Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and God knows were. Even the saint Mccain of the US enjoys the company of terrorists

        The Libyan army are fighting ISIS for over a year now and the UN has refused to let them purchase arms to fight them, but the UN has allowed weapon to be smuggled in from Qatar and Turkey to Libyan Dawn who pass on the weapons and foreign fighters to ISIS.

        If this is not enough proof, search google weapons smuggled into Libya and look at the proposed government the UN formed all members are from the city Misurata headquarter of Libyan Dawn.

        Why is the Holy UN doing this? its because Libya has trillions of dollars frozen by the UN that have miraculously vanished.
        All leaders have one thing in common they all have bank accounts.

    Ok so if this is true and we find out 100% that it is….then this guy needs to get “picked” up and held hostage…and his f’ing head cut off, then he should be buried with pig parts and pig blood be poured over his grave…..on camera for the world to see…then the word put out..this is what happens to anyone who helps ISIS..

    the kid gloves need to come off with these animals…and until we have the balls to do it…ISIS will never go away

  • Ali

    Is Obama also involved? and perhaps Qatar as well?

  • Herman

    What about rumors that Bilal was also in business with a son of Joe Biden with a oil company in Ukraine???? seems that a lot of people are making millions of the stole oil from Iraq and Syria….

  • lalasayswhat

    And now Turkey is a member of NATO and we will defend them and their actions.

  • Donkephant

    It is technically possible for ISIS to contribute money to US politicians, and if they were to do so, it would violate their Constitutional rights to be named as donors.

  • Vastie

    don’t understand how the US hasn’t stop him. Freeeze funds and maybe take this fool out!!!

    • lalasayswhat

      Simple. The US supports it.

        Twisted web of international politics and financing.

  • Lindy

    Turkey aligned themselves with Muslim terrorists long ago.

    I’m not Turkish and I equally dislike both Erdogan and Putin, but the most interesting part of this comment thread is just how virtually everyone TRUSTS the author so much that no one is wiling to ask for as much as a shred of evidence or even a tangible source to support these claims. As propaganda articles go, this was a terrible work. The only person quoted in this article is a ” former French general”. American military officials unanimously say ASSAD buys 90% of ISIS oil, Turkey are actively fighting ISIS as part of the US led coalition, why would they want to harm themselves by giving ISIS millions of dollars to kill Turkish and American pilots? Even if the Turks don’t care about their own servicemen, why would America allow it? Worst part is, neither Sergey Lavrov nor the French General in this article made any mention of Erdogan’s son, so where did that come from?

    • Yacoov Tovim

      Spot on.
      What happened Obama’s ‘Red line on Syria?Millions displaced hundreds of thousand killed by Assad and his supporters ,Assad and his hizboullah supporters are still winning in Western capitals

      • James Wherry

        Red Line Joke.

    • yenalmurat

      I am a Turk, and I also dislike Erdoğan and Putin equally. I totally agree with your comments.
      By the way, US and Europe are the true reasons why isis is so strong today. They initially supported radical groups to fight against Esad regime, and of course Turkey followed them as an ally. Lokk at the weapons isis is using, american made! All that support ended up in the hands of isis.

  • Franck Sasser

    Very surprising this article appears for western readers’ eyes. Probably won’t be here but a few hours.

  • Yacoov Tovim

    I dislike Erdogan and his family but how much russkies paid you to fabricate this lie.Assad is buying electric patrol from ISIS and Russia supports Assad.So figure out!Russia is a mafia state ruled by mafia leader putin!

    • Tibor Ládi

      “I dislike Erdogan and his family” Really?

    We can tell who’s taking a cr/ap in the desert but we don’t know who’s buying the oil from ISIS and who’s funding them. If ISIS isn’t getting supported and funded then ISIS no longer exists. Let’s all stop pretending like this is some big secret and freaking take care of it…of course unless they’re all benefiting somehow.

  • Clint Harris

    Looks to me that Russians wrote this article to smear Turkey.

    • lalasayswhat

      Turkey is coming more and more under the influence of radical Islam.

      • cvxxx

        Not radical Islam but Islamist faction who is the violent bully on the block.

        • lalasayswhat

          Whats the difference. None to me.

          • cvxxx

            The difference is a person setting a bomb off and one who is not.

            • lalasayswhat

              Well so far the terrorists have all been radical muslims.

              • cvxxx

                The reports from different sources paint a very different story. There are no “radical” Muslims. Rather one would more accurately categorize them as fundamental Islamists. The educated Secular Muslims are too few.

                • lalasayswhat

                  Whatever you want to call them is fine but I call them terrorists.

    • George Salvador

      SO, TURKEY IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN MORE RUSSIAN PLANES OR THEY ARE SUING THE RUSSIANS FOR THIS DISCREPANCY !!!!!!!

  • Jack

    Belal or Belial? My first thought after seeing the first segment of the headline was Barack Obama.

  • Craig Umniy

    Turkish tanker ships loading ISIS oil in Syria? Closest ISIS-controlled area in Syria is about 150 km from the shore, so any oil being lifted is Syrian government oil. Typical Russian disinfo crap.

  • Eldon Lile

    Seems to me if he is this well known – he should be easy to erase ? ! Erase the cause of the problem, you erase the problem – and he may well be a starting place?

  • Goodluck Jonathan

    Everybody now knows why Russiaa jet was shot down. It is the Russians that has been destroying the ISIS tankers and oil facilities and thereby disrupting the flow of ISIS oil from Iraq and Syria to Turkey. It is also the reason that the US is merely playing with ISIS because the US intelligence knows about it.

  • disqus_fl9zft2qBd

    Everybody in these Glove know Turkey is official sponser of ISIS and Pakistan is for Taliban, AL-quida.

  • RealBatman

    Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO and get bombed by the USA and Russia

  • Gorge Watsons

    HAHAHA what a silly News İsis is created by usa ,but they cant control it any more ,and russia took the control so the monney now goes to russian banks

  • Hockinghillsbilly

    Erdogon wants to turn Turkey away from a non secular country into a Theocracy.
    Turkey should be expelled from NATO.

  • FERDINAND OKOCH-OKOCH

    I always quote Ibsen’s play,”An Enemy of the People’ which states “the strongest man is he who stands alone”. This is Assad. His enemies want him out for selfish motive and now the reality is coming.Russia with her compassion for Syria wants to bring peace but the enemies are shouting loudly that he is a dictator and must go!
    Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! that is how the world is. What comes from the mouth is different from what is in one’s heart. We must be aware of this before we trust a person with sweet words.

    • Big Ray

      well said

  • RCar

    Just keep up the bombing of ISIS oil trucks, and don’t stop!!

  • Chris2248

    Sooner or later (hope sooner) there will be a clash between Islam and the rest of the world with Islam being exterminated for good: Italians, Christians, Europe, US, Russia, Buddhists, Hindus, Chinese (all together) vs Islam.

    • Hockinghillsbilly

      Genocide much ?

      • lalasayswhat

        Islam will not stop until they take over the world. Its either them or us.

      • tonvar

        He said Islam, not Muslims you idiot.

    • disqus_fl9zft2qBd

      No other religions trust Islam (sponser of terrorisms)

  • freefromchoice

    Well then it is time to plan some bombing runs on all of Erdrogans ships, Russia you go first, america second, France third, UK fourth, germany fifth. That pretty much ought to stop the flow of money to ISIS from Turkey’s end. While were at it lets just arm the Kurds and let em have Turkey. We know they wont allow any funding from ISIS to go through thier new country.!

    • Big Ray

      great idea – where are our leaders ?

      • jaymack47

        Big, i have been asking that question for years.

  • Anthony Young

    And Merkel just promised this idiot “millions of dollars” and offers him a seat at the EU in exchange for his “helping to stem the influx of Syrian refugees.” When are our governments going to stop sleeping with the devil?

  • rw

    this is ob’s good buddy

      Dont forget merkel too. Liberals are the most dangerous policy makers in the world.

      duh his country is a member of NATO ray so educate yourself before showing your hatred and racism

      • Big Ray

        I know a$$ hole, this went over ya head, actually it meant they are soooo loyal to nato lets put them in charge, this was sarcastic, I will attempt to lower the bar for you next time. If you don’t understand this let me know and i’ll get my 3 year old grandson to write one for ya. Have some left over turkey, turkey !

      • Joe Giron

        Get this terrorist country out of otan

  • Big Ray

    Lets put the turks in charge of nato ! Now you know how turkey’s got their name. Dumb birds

  • Jing Yagunazie

    you have to wonder how the shipping ports in China had exploded. Russia should be nuking turkey if this is true. China should back them up. We can see the over through of the EU is by the EU and the USA

    • George McPheron

      beyond sense and into crazy

  • Danny Lamb

    No one is surprised No one!

  • azrael

    Opportunist ER the DOGan from the very start of this chaos made money and consolidated his power at the expense of Syria, Iraq, Kurds even Turkish citizens who fell victim to ISIS attacks, and now France and other EU nations. Its clear ER the DOGan does’nt have any slight intention of helping eradicate ISIS. The terror attacks on Turkish soil blaming ISIS is just a sideshow to show the world that Turkey is also a victim too but its getting clearer that ER the DOGan is pulling the strings to make more money for his family and friends while Syria burns and the risk of Europe being targeted by ISIS terror attack is at all time high..

    Time to cut the DOG’s head.

    • Anthony Young

      The EU just announced today that they are giving Erdogan “millions” of dollars and offering him a seat on the EU. Is that stupid or what? Merkel.

  • Ron Molina

    This gets more and more interesting but not surprising.

    • George McPheron

      Ron I agree and the light of truth is a beautiful thing

      • But even that was tame compared to what Lavrov said to his Turkish counterparty Mevlut Cavusoglu earlier today during a phone call between the two (Lavrov who was supposed to travel to Turkey has since canceled such plans).

    • Clint Harris

      Come on… you are a old dude, you should be experienced enough to know when the tail is wagging a dog. This article is a Russian propaganda article meant to get red blooded Americans armed up against Turkey.

    • yenalmurat

      As as a Turk I do not like Erdogan even a bit and would love to see him lose the elections more than anything. However, 90% of this article is total fabrication! And also there is no proof or evidence. Obvious that it is an effort to denigrate Turkey. By the way Putin and Erdogan has many things in common! (ina abad sense)

The Mini-Skirt Deception: How McMaster Got His Afghan ‘Surge’

One of the ways McMaster tried to persuade Trump to recommit to the effort was by convincing him that Afghanistan was not a hopeless place. He presented Trump with a black-and-white snapshot from 1972 of Afghan women in miniskirts walking through Kabul, to show him that Western norms had existed there before and could return. The irony is that, in 1972, when this photo was taken on the grounds of Kabul University, Afghanistan was firmly in the orbit of the Soviet Union, as it had been since 1953, when Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud Khan rose to power and instituted a series of progressive reforms, including equal rights for women.
