Two VTs, a Sputnik, an RT, and an FT*… “All about that Daesh-Turkey-Oil Connection”

I’m putting these in chronological order. They all have to do with that “Daesh-Turkey-Oil” connection. All I’m saying about all this “oil stuff”, is that, thank goodness, we’re birthing a paradigm where all energy is “free”, in particular, “free” of burning anything.

Are You Sure About That? Why Erdogan Shouldn’t Have Asked for Proof (Sputnik News, 12-1-15)

““I’ve shown photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products,” Vladimir Putin told reporters in November on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Antalya.

“In a follow up of the President Putin’s remarks on the issue, the [Guardian] newspaper has published another article with the reference to a “long list of evidence of Turkish support for Daesh (ISIL) in Syria, compiled by The Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University.”

Russian military reveals details of ISIS-Turkey oil smuggling (Lada Ray, Futurist Trendcast, 12-2-15)

“Erdogan promised he would resign, should Russia be able to prove that Turkey supported ISIL (Daesh) terrorists and was involved in ISIL oil scheme. This, of course, was no more than simple lip service.

“Russian Defence Ministry is calling Erdogan’s bluff with undeniable proof, and there’s more where that came from.”

NEO – Oil Tests May Prove One Test Too Many for Erdogan (Henry Kamens, Jim Dean, Veterans Today, 12-11-15)

[Jim Dean] “Henry Kamens gives us, as usual, an unreported aspect of the Turkey-ISIL oil smuggling operation, where all roads, or pipelines, often end up in the shadowy Republic of Georgia. VT has long reported how oil testing is one of the main defenses of fraud in oil deals.

[Henry Kamens] “Before oil is sold, it is tested. Oil test labs know exactly where the oil they test comes from and where it goes. We knew this even before the Las Vegas Sun broke a story about it. But even though this story provided confirmation that there is no mystery about the oil sales funding ISIS, or the mechanism behind them, it hasn’t prevented these sales and transports continuing. This is because the logistics behind them are so sophisticated, and overseen at such a high level, that it is very difficult to isolate and expose the weak links in the chain.

“This is where, once again, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes in. He and his clan have made a lot of money by abusing their authority to become major components in this business. But if anyone has to take a fall to keep the operation running, they are the prime targets, and they know it.

“All the information now being released in the Western media conveniently smears Turkey. It is not the only country involved of course. But it is the one which will suffer most when the West tries to continue its game by investigating the allegations which are now being made.”

White House Sends Ankara Two Warning Shots Over Daesh Oil Smuggling (Jim Dean, Veterans Today, 12-11-15)

[Jim Dean] “…today we give [the State Department and Pentagon] credit for putting some heat on Erdogan’s claims of innocence. It also put Turkish Intel right in the cross-hairs for its obviously being involved in the ISIL trade extensively. I am waiting to see if NATO and the EU make statements, or keep their heads down.

[Article] “On Wednesday US State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted that Turkey was allowing Daesh to transport contraband oil across its border, and said the US government wanted Turkey to close its border with Syria.

“Kirby referred to a “98-kilometer stretch” of the Turkish-Syrian border, “which still needs to be closed off because it provides avenues of sustenance for ISIL,” allowing oil, fighters and other supplies to pass between the two countries.”

Any targets threatening Russian forces in Syria must be immediately destroyed – Putin (RT 12-11-15)

“The Russian military’s actions in Syria are being coordinated with Russian special services such as the FSB, who are disclosing terrorist cells, including Islamic State, Putin said. All forces threatening Russian servicemen in Syria should be destroyed, according to the Russian president.

“Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu added that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) controls about 70 percent of Syria’s territory, adding that in Syria and Iraq there are about 60,000 militants.”
