Is ISIS Using Alibaba To Buy Mobile Refineries From Turkey?
It all started with a Pentagon tweet showing a before and after picture of a "modular oil refinery" used by ISIS:
.@PentagonPresSec re #Syria: Before & after photos of #Jeribe modular oil refinery — targets of coalition attacks. pic.twitter.com/pfpSJhxPwa
— U.S. Dept of Defense (@DeptofDefense) September 25, 2014
By "modular" the Department of Defense meant "mobile." CNN had more:
U.S. and coalition warplanes pounded ISIS positions in eastern Syria on Wednesday, targeting what a Pentagon official described as mobile oil refineries being used by the so-called Islamic State terror group to help finance its operations.
The latest round of airstrikes were aimed at cutting off money flowing to ISIS, which makes up to $2 million a day from oil produced by the mobile refineries, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, told CNN.
So the US is targeting ISIS' mobile refineries as a way of "halting" the organization's funding? Great. But where does ISIS buy these refineries: after all while the US provided all the weapons, arms and munitions ISIS has and is using against, well, the US, one assumes not even America was deploying mobile refineries in Iraq and Syria: after all Haliburton and Bechtel get paid much more when they make the "fixed", CapEx-soaking versions.
Well, one place is, drumroll, everyone's favorite biggest IPO of all time. That's right, Alibaba:
Wait, is the US implicitly subsidizing Alibaba which is collecting massive commissions on sales of illegal arms to a terrorist group, which has to order even more such mobile refineries as the US blows them up one after another?
Stranger things have happened.
And, the punchline, is that the supplier is none other than a Turkish Company named NCER:
Turkey, of course, is the one (NATO) country that has so far refused to join the US grand "alliance" against the Islamic State, has refused to grant the US use of its airspace for counter-Islamic State strikes, and whose 49 hostages were released by ISIS a week ago in gratitude for Turkey's unwillingness to fold to the US.
So are all of these events related?
We don't know. One place to look for answers is Mr. Karem Ekrem Merter, the contact for NCER, who was kind enough to put up the following YouTube clip of a mobile refinery on YouTube in November 2012...
And has conveniently listed his contact info as follows:
contact: + 90 542 440 07 03
web: www.mobile-refinery.com
email: sales@mobile-refinery.com
As for whether Alibaba is the euphoria, just-IPOed "marketplace" used to illegally provide Islamic State terrorists with the tools they need to generate millions in profits each day, we are confident the regulators will answer that question shortly.

wrong ty wrong.. those are the missing colin powell mobile biofactories..
Ah, the plot (i.e. "Rabbit Hole") thickens....
Elegance, pure elegance. So plain, above board and simple.
oh, my...
what a cluster f&ck!
they should have never givin' the internet to the peasants...
how long till TPTB cut their losses and pull the plug.....on us!
and that my friend is on progress...and they used and sold out hollywood stars and their pussy pics x2
I wonder what one of those costs.
absolutely nothing, they fell in a phising or something scam.. but you can imagine the uproar that will follow.. think i saw one of those pussy strechers talking in un already
I just emailed them for a quote....I'll get back to you all
John Milton: Vanity, definitely my favorite sin.
you wanna hear the whole plot.. if that uproar is not enough to make change, then one or two of these poor girls will end up in "suicide" and then all the ordinary people will start to think that jeesus we really got to do something for this.. i am gonna call to my legislator...jennifer or emma or both?? they need new marilyn
Trust a gold-digger to upload her nude pics to the cloud and then sue everyone and everything for gazillions when the pics are "leaked". Nice scam.

ISIS doesn't seem so bad, if this public service announcement is any indication....

The Turkish people are nice enough people, hardworking, personable.
I worked with some of them, contracted out to an Alaska cannery in Kodiak.
But Turk leaders are EXACTLY like ours. Scum of the Scum Sociopaths.
You're right. Most people are hard working, they want the best for their families and they do care about others.
But then there is the Scum you mentioned. Funny how that happens in every culture.
There must be some basic genetic property which makes a certain amount necessary for evolutionary survival (like The Selfish Gene).
As a point of reference, I used to have summer jobs cleaning out septic tanks. A nasty piece of work, until you got used to the stench.
One thing I found out was that you could learn a lot about the tank's owners, by how thick the Scum was (that's the stuff which rises to the top of the tank).
There was a direct correlation between Scum thickness and the amount of "stuff" which the tank owner's possessed.
They did not seem to care a whit about the health of their septic system, which you had better understand it's a living system or pay a great price.
Just went on and on essentially pouring a lot of very expensive fatty shit and chemicals down the drain.
Years later I was negotiating contracts with a different type of Scum, but eerily the same.
All the signs were the same as a failed septic field and the stench was still there.
A brief review of recent history would show you that Turkey bas appropriated the property of Christians and driven them out of the country, leaving it 100% musliim. Now why would any US military even think they would cooperate with us?
US has informed Syria that they will bomb them for 3 years. So demand for mobile refineries should remain high for at least 3 years.
The Nobel Prize Winner seems to like long, illegal wars:
US to bomb ISIS positions for three years, Syrian FM saysThe United States plans to launch strikes against so-called Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria over a three year period, Russian news agencies cite Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem as saying. Muallem said that Damascus had been informed of the US strikes, but “that does not mean we approve of them.” A US-Arab coalition began bombing IS militants in Syria on Tuesday. On Friday, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the Pentagon had already launched 43 airstrikes in the country. Additional strikes were launched in the central province of Homs and the northern region of Raqqa on Saturday, The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

I wonder what syria realky thinks about being bombed for three years considering the us may not be a going concern in three years time?
Great news for Raytheon , Lockheed and Boeing and the rest. When the ground war eventually starts I will also by some Oshkosh and so on.
Are they using iphones to send group texts?
The last thing they saw was the drone descending from the cloud...
So Wall Street is funding ISIS.
Next air strike - Goldman Sachs headquarters.
Make sure you get the leaders please.
Time to require a government bureaucracy to oversee and approve each and every online purchase. And that will be right after they require a global internet government verified ID to make purchases. Just so they know for sure you're okay
You can never have enough control. After all even the terrorist groups they create, train, fund and let loose may try something unscrupulous
You just can't trust anyone nowadays
They have to take away your freedoms to protect the children
They need them safe and sound for their pedo rings and sacrifices
omg, and they used google to do it, and then post all the videos on facebook/twitter!
lol
Excellent!!!

Alibaba should buy some ad space on ZH, let you buy those Russian brides for $1,100 each in quantities of 50, you pay shipping.
please no, I prefer my russian dates, asian dates, hot thai dates, arabian dates, latino dates, brown sugar dates, wacky T-shirts on big-tit girls, is that a pajamas or make-up ad oh I don't care she looks nice semi-dressed, and the rare thong on a nice ass swimwear ad.
makes my browsing experience of ZH much more pleasant.
ps. anyone know how to get the thong on a nice ass swimwear ad again? I've only seen it once and dunno what to do to bring it up...
Hey, can I buy one of those? Why stop at grow and buy local food. Why not refine and buy local gas!
I think Tyler inadvertantly started something here......
the stupidest part of this "story", which was slapped together to try and scaremonger alibaba (and no other reason):
the mobile refineries output diesel and gasoline and nothing else. it's already been documented that they are basically selling crude at half market price to anyone who wants to see some crazy profit. there's zero reason to refine anything apart from handling local immediate need for gasoline and diesel. This "story" is literally nothing more than
While entirely not bothering to call into question the fact that the us government lies by default.
absolutely!!!!!
Doesn't ISIS need gasoline and diesel fuel to supply their fighters? The purpose of mobile refineries could be for internal consumption.
any military mistake in history was due to not being 100% focused on the objective. I'm no war hawk; my dad protested Vietnam & I we were not in-favor of Iraq. al Qaeda always was the enemy & saddam was fending them off same as Assad is fighting Isis. enemy of the enemy is ur friend - without us and the Brits having to cut a deal with Stalin, we lose WWII. Hitler took his eye off the ball when he shud have kept his alliance with the Russians because we were getting our asses kicked in the South Pacific until midway. Had hitler not turned on Stalin, they cud have made a hard pugs for the world. main problem here is the Turks - our state department doesn't seem to get that they always have held the key to the Middle East because they are the gateway to it. The Iraq war wasn't as effective as it shud have been because we couldn't re-supply and attack from that corridor. Again, I wasn't in-favor of that invasion, but if u are gonna do it, set ur chess board for success. We didn't get that done and we need to learn from past mistakes - both our & our enemies.
hard push for the world
So what? Wall St doesn't care about morality. As long as they make profits ...
obo is such a liar he will send 20.000 women in syria and its boobs on the ground for him..
So were you watching Jon Stewart? Stolen joke. stolen joke. And it comes from some idiot broadcast (CNBC? MSNBC? Blumberg? can't remember) where one "man" thought that was funny regarding a UAE pilot who was a woman.
That is plaigarism. Always cite your source.
How can these guys operate a modular refinery. It requires considerable technical skills. Those refineries need to distill crude oil, stinky stuff, and have to separate liquids and vapours which requires cooling and heating ancillary equipment and water/electricity. I can't see that being achieved on those "before" /"after" photos of pipes and vessels.
Nope the main financial source of these groups has to be the same that sells the oil to the west : the oil monarchies or certain elements from it loaded with money !
There's no shortage of Saudi nationals amongst the Jihadist crowd.
should be more than a few who had worked in the oil industry in their pre-jihadists days with the relevant technical experience to run the things.
It could be a degassing plant a process which has to be done to most ME oil out of the ground to make it more stable in transit...
Now on alibaba - camoflage mobile oil refineries
I would think that starbucks and Mcdonalds are related to the terrorists somehow. Either the terrorists or friends and families of terrorists buy coffee or drinks from starbucks and Mcdonalds.
Gas stations are really just glorified drive thrus

A little Rorshack Stanford-Binet testing isn't nececsarily bad, Goldie.
It helps you to realize that the 'illuminated ones' are really clueless when it comes to 'judging your potential' and stuff like that.
They place importance on obscure sexual references given in 'perfect mirrors' of blobs of ink dropped at random on a 'blotter' (a stack of paper parchment). They are just as clueless as the masses that they claim to be able to direct.

'Sorry. This Video is not available in your COUNTRY.'
The INTERNETS have tried to KILL this term given in 'debriefings' by the Home Defences of the U.K. regarding their experiences with the Spitfire planes versus the Luftwaffe in the year A.D. 1940. The 're-explanation' is given HERE:

Balls to wall means simply throttle pushed fully foreward.
that piano music is bringing tears to my eyes. isis tears. oil tears. piano tears.
Good, more shit to bomb. Spend that money, ragheads. "mobile oil rigs"... lol, is the oil mobile too. Those clowns been out in the sun too long.
Here is the true story of 'Ali Baba and the Forty Theives'. It is one as old as the sands of time, and as relevant as today's events:
http://www.bartleby.com/16/905.html
Read it before asking this question:
Is ISIS Using Alibaba To Buy Mobile Refineries From Turkey?Well, sometimes historical referents give clues as to events which shape the present or future events of common theives and con-men (and the women who own them).
I.E.:
"Well, 'DUH'!".
Is the city named Istanbul, or Constantinople? The world's 'newest richest man' resides in CHINA and has claim to a CYBERSPACE trading website called 'ALIBABA'. The Israeli Secret Intelligence Service sees no issues in using non-Goyim websites to leverage advantages. Are these 'mobile' refineries, or 'Mobil' refineries? As long as the fiat USD continues to gain, both parties really don't fucking care.
The semitic 'arabs' invented the mathematical term 'ZERO'. The Kazarim and Askenazim invented the term 'anti-semitism'. The Chinese came up with 'the art of assymetrical warfare'. Kissinger invented the term 'petrodollar'. Lyndon Johnson coined the term 'military-industrial complex'. I (I!) introduced the abbreviation 'GTFOOH' to the ALTENET abbreviations library. I was given this term by another.
Is I.S.I.S. using 'ali Baba to buy 'mobile refineries' from TURKEY?
REALLY? Are you asking this question in jest?
Does the Sun rise in the East? Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic?
GET the fuck out of here...
You can't properly refine oil in one of those.
That looks more like a meth lab.
You're wrong. Absolutely wrong. I've seen a similar set up in another 3rd world shit hole and they work.
US does need to stop funding them, Turkey and Israel have to sto buying the oil from them. and they are finished. without a shot.
So how much oil can one haul to these sites in a day and the resulting output of diesel, gasoline and anything else (useful)?
For this we send a multi-million dollar aircraft and drop an expensive precision guided bomb. Aren't there bigger targets to attack?
The best answer is ... enough to make a combined $6 million dollars a DAY by selling this shit to the fucking Turkish bastards. That's who's funding terriorism? The fucking Turks!
Fuck Turkey. No great wonder the Greeks hate them. Ask any Greek what they think of Turkey. Those two really don't get along. I now side with Greece. Fuck Turkey and the people in it.
All the comments about "it's too technical to refine oil". BULLSHIT! I've seen it done with a similar setup. It's looked pretty fucking simple to me. They called it "cracking" gas. Boiling crude and then cooling it. It even produced our jet fuel.
Can't really blame them? I mean, if they want to be a millionaire before they are 35 - refine one's, own oil.
