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

Son of a Gun!
The US can't control illegal sales of oil?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kind of obvious here folks.
Hussein was killed for doing it, Khadaffi killed for trying to do it, Mubarek murdered for trying to do it.
But ISIS runs free? lmfao. Black market? lol...... The comedy script doesn't get any more poorly written than this.
Hope .gov saves me from the big bad ISIS. Wouldn't want my head chopped off for no apparent reason.
And people STILL don't understand this whole ISIS thing is entirely scripted. As if the us govt doesn't know exactly who is doing what with this illicit oil trade. Of course, maybe they don't. Maybe they are too busy spying on innocent us citizens to be bothered with actually doing their fucking jobs....
I'm sure we will get a press conference from Obama soon, where he will tell us that he just learned this by reading the newspaper and is just as shocked as we are. What a fucking clownshow we live in.
"Aid" convoy bombed near Turkey's boarder.
http://m.liveleak.com/view?i=33e_1448478406
Bilal is Turkish for "Bill"... Bill Erdogan.
No. It's Turkish for "ISIS Gone Wild"
Putin is going to eviscerate anything that moves inside Syria which is not a Syrian state asset.
Ahh. It all makes sense now.
The Russian Su24 Bomber wasnt violating Turkish airspace much as it was violating Baby Bilal Erodagans dirty oil concession and destroying his supply tankers.
Daddy Erodagan risks WW3 so his precious can exploit a NATO oil embargo and sell oil for ISIS . Fork out on your own and get a real job and make poppa proud, Go be a Chambermaid in Munich, or show some real grit and open a kebab stand in Berlin, and so spare the planet a nuclear winter.
What's with the ?litches in spellin? Erdo?an. Has the keyboard lost its "G"?
Erdogan is spelled with a soft 'g' in Turkish - known as 'g-breve' in English. These special characters aren't accommodated for on ZH.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_alphabet
Which reminds me of the big problems I had using the
internet at local internet cafes in Turkey
Should we believe Russian propoganda? We all know that Putin is a twisted old queen. Are we going to buy his bullshit hook, line, and sinker?
Let's just settle on Erodagfuckup and simplify the semantics
So all along while that poor American girl was being raped by a Muzzie, Baghdadi, akin to the rapes in Sweden of white women by muzzies, the USA crypto muslim was encouraging the whole thing along with Turkey which forced a mass Muslim invasion onto Europe with the treasonous involvement of the French govt. Perhaps the French citizens should guillotine some of their own mofos. These are some of the biggest war crimes ever committed, and all the truds are in the west. We should be holding some Nuremberg style trials and hang these psychopaths.
cosmos, is that the same French government that is currently in Moscow talking with Russia about how to bomb ISIS in Syria? You know, the ISIS that is producing propaganda videos accusing France and Russia to be an "Alliance Of Devils"? This while Germany is discussing about how to support this Franco-Russian cooperation?
"while Germany is discussing"
"Gernany" doesn't "discuss" anything, with Merkel a full-fledged CIA asset. Germany exists as economic exploitation area for Anglosaxon Fiat-money. Forget Germany. I know for I have lived in this country probably for longer time than anyone on ZH.
Turkey has no clue how foul it will be when push comes to shove….
And.. NATO will not be a back-up when it gets down and dirty,
So when did treaties or western promises ever mean anything ?
..they will learn a lesson the hard way
http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a18331/russias-military...
Nobody in Europe is going to go endof the world crazy for Turkey's sake
(.. the mess hall in Incerlick is nice.. today.
So how hard is it Mr Obama to kill this dude, after all you said, "we are going to hunt down isil where every they are and destroy them and their infrastructure" Well if you kill the money guy the operation falls apart. But you don't want that, do you? You want little crisis's all over the world so you can divert attention from the economy and use the terrorism as a scapegoat. You and your policies are evil.Isil if it really wanted to be powerful needs to kill its true leader and that is you.
Great article ZH. These cockroaches don't like the light.
Response to giovanni above: "Anglosaxon Fiat-money."
Anglosaxon? Fiat? LOL. Who runs the Fed? Who runs banking in Frankfurt for the last 250 years? Who controls the City of London? Anglo-saxons? I am busting a gut here.
Well, don't worry, folks. Here's 2+hours of new Thanksgiving Golden Jackass to go with your turkey.

Also, now we have the explanation for the sudden price drop of crude by Saudi terrorist royal hause.
What part of street n’gr do people not understand these sand monkeys are?
Go to Chicago.. meet the people.. and Rahm the Zionist is their leader.. or Father f’knuts Flakey.. or better yet the man who married the Wookie to the Golfer-in-Chief and “baptized” the lanky stringy offspring…. De’ Rebrend Jerimiah mutha f’n Right.. oops Wright… who happens to live in a >$500K mansion. ..and it is so nice to see all of the constant video of those muslims in church.
I feel sorry for the peeps in the suburbs north of the airport in Oahu where a perfectly nice Naval Air Station used to be but will likely turn into a .gov armored compound and secluded golf resort.
oh, BTW.. this might be a fly in the Choomster's annointed plan...

Agreed
Some guy won a few Journalism awards for blowing the lid off the Food for Oil program in Iraq. I'd rank the Bilal story as up there, and in a real world, this would be ZH's third big "scoop" since 2009.
4 big questions, just like when St. Marc Rich was crude laundering.
1. What blends are they cutting ISIL crude with. Who is selling them the "wrappers" which Bilal is mixing ISIL products with to skirt sanctions
2. Which Insurance and Trading counterparties are lending little "B" LOC his shipments and funding his working capital in the ports. Its sure as fuck not EXIM Bank
3. Which refineries in Japan and trading houses in ASEAN/Europe are taking Crude. Every cargo needs to be reported, so who at the State/Govt side is willfully ignoring the extra "stops" these cargoes are making on their contract deliveries to Asia
4. If the USA and Turkey are willfully allowing Crude sales to happen, there must be a contract agreement inplace between Turkey and NATO to limit logistics damage. If this is the case, who is the Black Project sponsor. If this was a sanctioned program, was the POTUS aware the USA was supporting Crude smuggling? This would not be the first time USA has placed an embargo/sanction only for State actors to be running a smuggling chain (Panama, Suez, Afganistan... etc). I find it hard to believe Turkey's Presidency was 'going it alone' given that NATO procedures require at least "two to sign" on every Head of State project, to which given little "B"'s involvement, this would have had to be an Aware project at DoD.
AVR's bozo question:
5. Will ISIL oil be requried to sign the Carbon pledge at Paris? If so, will Japan/Korea continue to buy Illegal ISIL crude over "ethical" oil from UKm Canada and Saudi Arabia ?
Great article ZH. These cockroaches don't like the light.
Marketwatch has an article that says Obama accuses Syria of buying the ISIS oil. He has increased economic sanctions against Syria because of it. Our Gov. is a joke but no one is laughing.
Typical far-right fear-mongering on your part.
The irony here is that Turkey is facing the consequences of electing a nationalist and a religious conservative as their head of state. Not altogether different from what you represent.
Ironic?
I understand your position,,
..but I don't think it is anything so paradoxical.
oh.. and if you want far right.. come to never let-a-crisis-go-to-waste Rahm-town.
The yutes are most idealist and will carry their views to the vicious extreme whether they are Maos, Stalins, Pol Pots, or whatever brand of idealism, leaving millions dead due to their inflexible, unyielding, closed-minded beliefs.
Sad to say..
there is truth in your view..
Maybe us old F's will have some influence.
Piss and viniger.. the courage of yutes.

PM is the same rag that pushed the governments fairy tale of how the buildings came down on 911. so don't put to much into what they write.
you say that like you're going to get some kind of vote or something or that the politicians are going to give a rats @@@ what the people want.
one day a mushroom cloud will appear over some major city. the media will scream "they did it" and everyone will blindly go charging off to war.
ten years later, some fringy alt media types will uncover "they" didnt actually do it, but by then nobody will care.
does anyone else here get a hunter biden vibe off this guy billy erdogan?
so what if we see German Tornados supporting French Rafales and Russian SU-24s in Syria against ISIS? Is then your theory debunked?
"...as economic exploitation area for Anglosaxon Fiat-money..." Only Germany? and what about the EUR? is that a supporting or contrasting tool in this exploitation?
well, the good news is that the mil-sec-indust-banking-complex will do well.
ad q1, no, ad q2, yes, ad q3, the political process behind the EUR has in theory the potential to be contrasting but in light of the unfathomable cluelessness of the european leadership assclowns I would not hold my breath. The moneyed class in the angloimperialist sphere will do whatever it takes to prevent Europe to take shape as alternative to their beloved Ukrainian-style oligarchy.
they are not clueless
they are f'n evil deliberate...
Yes, somewhat, unless they're bombing Kurds.
The German Parliament compared Merkel to Jesus yesterday for the moral lesson shown by her compassion for Syrian refugees. I would not expect much out of Germany.
Right. It was a despicable show yesterday when one of those sordid millennial-leftists worshipped Angela Merkel to the extent of defending this CIA asset against the conserative faction in Merkels party. We live in a parallel universe waiting to collapse.
Merkel is a half polish jewess feminist communist who hates Germany.
She is the antihesis of Hitler.
..she is EAST German..
'nuff said.
do you like your fascism served with agent orange, zyclon b, Brussel sprouts or waffles ????
It is US lead cooalition accordding to Obama and Hollande, the same bozos that are telling Russia not to hunt the terrorists that brough down their helicopter and to only concentrate on ISIS and leave all other terrorsits be and remove Assad.
It is US lead cooalition accordding to Obama and Hollande, the same bozos that are telling Russia not to hunt the terrorists that brough down their helicopter and to only concentrate on ISIS and leave all other terrorsits be.
It is inconceivable that the CIA does not already know all of this and a whole lot more. There are geostationary satellites over Iraq spamming Tb/s of data back to Langley. You only need to see the resolution of Google Maps over Iraq to know how much installed aerial surveillance covers that part of the world. Iraq has higher resolution than Manhattan.
I would not be surprised if the CIA was tracking and analysing the movements of every single vehicle in Mosul. The technology to do it exists, it's the same technology that will manage driverless car fleets.
The problem here is that for whatever reason, the US intelligence agencies are clearly NOT sharing information with the US executive government.
Something has clearly broken in the chain of command inside .gov, and the rest of the world can see this clear as day. Obama is not being told anything.
Maybe to maintain plausible deniability, maybe for some other reason? But I don't think Obama knows squat about any of this. John Kerry must know, he is the guy who gets sent to meet ALL of the involved parties. Notice that they always send Kerry, never Obama. Kerry must hear it from the other side, he meets Lavrov, Assad, Bandar, Erdogan, et al.
This whole 5yr period is just weird.
I think that come 2017, the apple cart is gonna get flipped 50ft in the air as the USA strides back into geopolitics.
What makes you think he doesn't know? Like that leading from behind propaganda in Libya so that Obama gets blamed for being a wimp or incompetent rather than the warmonger he really is. It is well known that Obama regularly fails to heed real experts advice or ignores it completely. It's claimed that in many briefings he doesn't even pay attention. His close circle of advisors, like the Kagan family, Victoria Nuland, Valerie Jarret, and such are war mongering conquer the planet types. For the US ISIS serves a purpose thus the pure propaganda that most US air strikes against ISIS are not approved because they might hurt civilians. Obama could care less about civilians or he never would have bombed Libya into a failed state and walked away, would not have supplied arms and money to Syrian foreign jihadists which comprise 90% of those fighting Assad, and he certainly would never run his drone campaign in at least 7 countries that has killed thousands of innocent people. Better to be looked upon in the history books as a tragic figure inexpereienced and overwhelmed by the enormity of the office rather than the real Obama who loves spilling blood in world conquest. Recently the head of the UN called on all parties to stop this stuff in Syria and let the Syrians decide for themselves who leads them. Obama's reply was Assad must go which meant business as usual supplying weapons and cash for Syrian terrorists. If he really was serious about peace he would have dropped all funding and arms for Syrian terrorists and forced others doing the same to stop and would have all parties join Assad to irradicate ISIS and the rest. The US has never seriously bombed ISIS, just around the edges to contain not kill them. ISIS has been selling oil for years yet the US never seriously bombed their tankers until the Russians did. Obama lost face and was compelled to finally take out a few tankers and broadcast it to the world to "prove" he was serious about stopping ISIS. Many times Obama claimed the war against ISIS was going to take 20 to 30 years yet the Kurds, who are on the ground fighting, claim if all parties make the effort ISIS could be destroyed in a few weeks.
As per videos and published reports Turkish trucking companies are making nice money hauling goods into Syria, especially to ISIS, with long lines at the border waiting to get across. The Russians are po'd about the Turks taking down their plane so they are targeting convoys entering Syria. Some nice videos of this. It's a wake up call for those trucking companies that it is now too dangerous and unprofitable to continue. They may be insured but close to all insurance companies will not pay off for damages in a war zone.
When the Russians first entered the fray in Syria Obama's response was to drop over 100 pallets of weapons, and promises of anti tank and plane weapons, in the Syrian desert and hoped the "proper rebels" retrieved them. Look it up, it was all over the news. Does this sound like a peace loving leader to you?
Hell's Bells .. they likely knew within a fraction of a minute when I took a crap this morning and the sharpness to a micro-meter of my razor blade.
Welcome to 1984.
never underestimate the enemy, they know wtf is going on. isis is the new commie to fuel the fear needed to keep the juice flowing. moar war, moar fiat financed by banksters. reasons vary depending on the hatred stirred. we are bystanders funding this shit show with our taxes, all captivated by fiat/debt in a closed sytem with no exits, unless of course, you live in a wood burning, no electric home w/ hand pump well, outdoor shitter, and exist like it is 1850, garden, root cellar and all that.
That way of life cannot be done without money to pay the taxes. The gov owns everything, even what you think you own.

Title: The Run Upon The Bankers
Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]
The Run Upon the Bankers[1]
The bold encroachers on the deep
Gain by degrees huge tracts of land,
Till Neptune, with one general sweep,
Turns all again to barren strand.
The multitude's capricious pranks
Are said to represent the seas,
Breaking the bankers and the banks,
Resume their own whene'er they please.
Money, the life-blood of the nation,
Corrupts and stagnates in the veins,
Unless a proper circulation
Its motion and its heat maintains.
Because 'tis lordly not to pay,
Quakers and aldermen in state,
Like peers, have levees every day
Of duns attending at their gate.
We want our money on the nail;
The banker's ruin'd if he pays:
They seem to act an ancient tale;
The birds are met to strip the jays.
"Riches," the wisest monarch sings,
"Make pinions for themselves to fly;"[2]
They fly like bats on parchment wings,
And geese their silver plumes supply.
No money left for squandering heirs!
Bills turn the lenders into debtors:
The wish of Nero[3] now is theirs,
"That they had never known their letters."
Conceive the works of midnight hags,
Tormenting fools behind their backs:
Thus bankers, o'er their bills and bags,
Sit squeezing images of wax.
Conceive the whole enchantment broke;
The witches left in open air,
With power no more than other folk,
Exposed with all their magic ware.
So powerful are a banker's bills,
Where creditors demand their due;
They break up counters, doors, and tills,
And leave the empty chests in view.
Thus when an earthquake lets in light
Upon the god of gold and hell,
Unable to endure the sight,
He hides within his darkest cell.
As when a conjurer takes a lease
From Satan for a term of years,
The tenant's in a dismal case,
Whene'er the bloody bond appears.
A baited banker thus desponds,
From his own hand foresees his fall,
They have his soul, who have his bonds;
'Tis like the writing on the wall.[4]
How will the caitiff wretch be scared,
When first he finds himself awake
At the last trumpet, unprepared,
And all his grand account to make!
For in that universal call,
Few bankers will to heaven be mounters;
They'll cry, "Ye shops, upon us fall!
Conceal and cover us, ye counters!"
When other hands the scales shall hold,
And they, in men's and angels' sight
Produced with all their bills and gold,
"Weigh'd in the balance and found light!"
[Footnote 1: This poem was printed some years ago, and it should seem, by the late failure of two bankers, to be somewhat prophetic. It was therefore thought fit to be reprinted.--_Dublin Edition_, 1734.]
[Footnote 2: Solomon, Proverbs, ch. xxiii, v. 5.]
[Footnote 3: Who, in his early days of empire, having to sign the sentence of a condemned criminal, exclaimed: "Quam vellem nescire litteras!" Suetonius, 10; and Seneca, "De Clementia,", cited by Montaigne, "De l'inconstance de nos actions."--_W. E. B._]
[Footnote 4: Daniel, ch. v, verses 25, 26, 27, 28.--_W. E. B._]
[The end]
Jonathan Swift's poem: Run Upon The Bankers
J.P. F'n Morgan Chase stopped taking loose coins a few weeks ago...
what's next ????
..in case nobody understands .. an FRN is not a real dollar.. it's a joke on y'all.,.
the big secret..
"Its motion and its heat maintains."
methinks confidence will be waning......
Like that leading from behind propaganda in Libya so that Obama gets blamed for being a wimp or incompetent rather than the warmonger he really is...
I seem to remember the Halfrican bragging, "I'm really good at killing people" which is something only an infantile psychopath would be proud of. Belileving that he's just a simple dupe - or incompetent - is the result of not paying attention. The US was *never* attacking ISIS (before the Bear showed up) - rather they were carrying out air-strikes on pro-Assad forces and claiming they were ISIS. Nobody outside of the MIC or on the ground there could tell the difference, so they got away with it ... until they didn't.
Plausible deniability
Obama doctrine: nothing that happens under his administration is his responsibility. Even his Obamacare, with all of its disasters, is blamed on him. Nothing. He always claims to be the outsider when in actuality he is in charge of everything.
They tried to tell Obirdbrain but he was golfing or skipping the briefings to visit with Reggie.
But Obirdbrain IS pulling the strings of that you can be sure, a super Marxist-progressive control freak is not going to let anything out from under the boot.
You can tell it is an Obirdbrain directed operation by the off the charts criminality and stupidity of it. His signature.
“If Russia is directing its energies towards Daesh and ISIL, some of those conflicts or potentials for mistakes or escalation are less likely to occur,”--Obirdbrain after the Russian fighter got shot down.
Well, Russia IS directing it's energies towards Daesh and ISIL. Obirdbrains support for Turk aid to ISIL is exposed by Obirdbrain himself.
The progressive stupid, it burns.

"Obama is not being told anything".............wow, you're one serious kool aid drinker to believe that. BHO may not bother to pay attention at the briefing, or give a damn, but he has access to every detail.
Pretty Bird.
I don't know if you are a stupid asshole or have a flair for dialect, but that 1 is me giving.you the benefit of the doubt.
Look at who controls the US Treasury Terrorist Finance tracking and interdiction group. It is then obvious why the oil has been freely trafficked.
Should we believe American propoganda? We all know that Obama is a twisted old queen. Are we going to buy his bullshit hook, line, and sinker?
wtf is this complete non-sequitor link about? try staying on topic, stop wasting peoples time and spare us your nonsense. Jesus F'ing christ!
he's just an ignorant paid troll
Go back to Tel Aviv.

It's not "g", it's "?". PITA, looks fine while typing. No unicode support in ZH.
Exactly. Really cramps my style when cursing in foreign tongues.
I likey.
As if the U.S. isn't complicit in this. Look at a map- the oil can't go west thru Assad territory, it can't go south thru Shia Iraq, and it isn't going east thru Iran. So it has no other way to go but thru Turkey.
Turkey is a NATO member. The U.S. and Europe are supporting Turkey, therefore the U.S. and NATO are supporting ISIS. Period. Full stop.
Kick Turkey out of NATO and Blockade Turkey. And ISIS will wither and die.
ISIS makes $400 million each month on oil sales. Delivered by trucks into Turkey. To the border is just a couple of hundred km through plain desert. I bet the line of trucks constantly hauling oil to Turkey could be seen with own eyes from the ISS.
There will be three priorities now for Russia: 1) No-fly zone south of the Turkish-Syrian border enforced with S 400, 2) Hitting everything moving on every transit route from Turkey and 3) Bombing the shit out of the border area and the Turkmen scum/CIA agents hanging out there and then capturing it.
Hope so
34 up arrows nowwithstanding, stick to the coke & hookers.
1. S400 deployment will be delayed
2. Nothing more will be hit from Turkey
3. less bombing now let alone "Bombing the shit out....?
Hard to imagine more wrong analysis; Easy to see ZH chickenhawk, Putin loving adoration
S-400 already in Syria. Sorry.

You are 0 for 3 Obot.
1. S-400 Means even Israel cant get a bomb off ad more enroute
2. After the second pilot was rescued Putin carpet bombed Jabal Turkmen
3. Turkish "humanitarian" convoys pulverized in Azaz 3 miles from Turkish border
How stupid are you.
C&H,
At the time of my posting, TEAM_RUS announced that all Terrorists in the "Rescue Operations" Area have been killed.
I think they(as in, SYR/RUS/IRN)'re going to
1) Drive out the Turkmen out of SYR - via "Waves of Munitions and Ordnance".
2) Go after Land Tanker Delivery Spots in TRK belonging to "Erdogan's Son's Company", and
3) Wipe out the Sea Tankers belonging to the same.
Actually, Putin should VERY publicly assassinate Bilal with a hypersonic cruise missile strike.
Give Erdogan a Sunburn .... make it personal.
you took the words right outta my mouth....
The Russians don't react emotionally and rashly like that.
Everyone in the ME knows there has been a DECADES LONG feud between Syria/Iran and Turkey/Saudi/Israel/Qatar/etc. It's about the long game -- empires, not one leader who can be erased. The names change but the goals stay the same.
Thanks to US stupidity, Iraq moved over to the Syria/Iran side. Thanks to Russia, Syria's Assad is safely in power for the foreseeable future.
Here is what will happen. With Russia defending the high ground (air), IRGC and Hezbollah will pretty easily kick anyone opposing Assad out of Syria.
Next, there will be revenge against Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Remember, Saudi threatened to attack the Sochi olympics with terrorists. You can be sure this has not been forgotten. These dictators barely stay in power by brutally suppressing their people. It wouldn't take much to tip the balance. Expect THEIR TERRORISTS to get more outside help.
Erdogan has thrown a televised punch at a black belt in Judo...
And strangely enough, Erdogan is Turkish for "probably gonna get whacked soon."
As the wheels come off this thing, expect more conspiracy theories to become conspiracy facts. Also expect the mainstream media to completely ignore said facts. None of this will be reported unless the powers-that-be decide to throw Turkey under the bus as a distraction.
I still think USSA is trying to bait a trap for Putin so they can drag NATO into the mess. It makes no sense to throw Erdogan under the bus since Turkey is so important to USSA ambitions, there is no guarantee that a new regime would be friendly to USSA if a real coup takes place. Unless, of course, that is part of the plan and Uncle Scam already has an engineered coup underway with a useful idiot picked out to take Erdogan's place. Turkey has too much to lose economically by pissing of Putin, if a real coup happened Russia/Turkey relations would be smoothed over by pictures of Erdogan hanging from a lamppost.
This is a dangerous game by a desperate USSA.
No, no, no. Bilal is Turkish for "Polonium Kofi". His days are numbered.
guessing a knife, razor sharp, slit, and blood money flows...
Bilal is likely named after Bilam the wicked prophet who had relations with his donkey.
Turkish counterparts to Biden & Son.
I was thinking that Baal was fitting.
Guess we will have to wait to see if there are any pictures of what was in those Aid Trucks... twinkies stuffed in old rifle boxes is my bet, or is it the other way around i get so confused with this propaganda shit
Ok, just an observation from the linked video.
Your convoy just got bombed by a first world nation's advanced technologies.
You're fucking lucky to be alive.
Yet you bunch up all the rest of the convoy, then stand around in the middle of it all watching, recording, the burning of some trucks.
Doesn't it occur to these ignorant mother-fucks that what they just created is the biggist classical military strike of all time?
Russia is being merciful to fly by shit like this without strike. I thought Putin was a hard ass, maybe he does have a heart. Well, being a decent person in politics could make one look pretty fuckin' odd in these days of elected psychopaths.
They are spreading their forces over multiple targets at the same time. Now they should send all the Sukhois against the same target (oil convoy, arms dealers) at the same time. Sacrifice a little air cover elsewhere and totally interdict oil out and arms in.
Amerika does the double-tap. Children are "fun-sized" terrorists.
Oldphart
I wonder if Russia will be so nice as to drop leflets written in Russian and Arabic telling them to flee the trucks or simply chaulk it on the bombs at the airbases that they should flee. The MSF hospital didn't get any leflets before we shelled it so I don't know why the Turks should but that's just bitchy me. Happy Turkey Day yuck, yuck
And, AND, once again, anything that that piece of shit POTUS has touched or been involved in has fallen to shit! I am not a big believer in god but I'm starting to believe. He just can not do anything right. Step it up Barry, what ya got next? Add more to that failed legacy. Give your daugters and grand children more of a legend to live on. You suck ass broke dick mother fucker!
Everything that cocksucker says is a lie. I wonder if his ass is jealous by the quantity of pure shit spilling out of his mouth.
So, Biden's son in Ukraine siphons Gazprom's gas out of its pipelines, while in Syria it's Erdogan's boy who fences oil stolen by devil-worshipping headchoppers. ISIS is nothing but a motley crew of desert pirates paid well to appear scary as hell while they loot and pillage the countryside.

The most important part in the article linked to was this: they want to kill off most of us and those that survive will be slaves.
Having studied Biblical Hebrew for many years I can tell you absolutely his name means
Baal = daemon power
El = God
"The evil one is God"
Perfect
Now we know why the U.S. C.I.A. and M.I.C. supports the Islamization of Turkey.
The ISIS-miniE oil sales are temporary. It was a bone the U.S. (and indirectly Israel) threw to Erdogan so the CIA could run arms through Turkey without questions. Same thing for the Barzani crime cartel in Iraqi Kurdistan. It's all just temporary because, long-term, U.S./U.K./Israeli interests will own and control every oil asset in Syria and Kurdistan. Genel is sliming their way into control of the oil fields stolen first from Iraq and soon from the Kurds. Tony "Deepwater Horizon" Hayward runs that shop for the Rothschilds. At the appropriate time, Mini-Erdogan and Barzani will cease to be useful to the Anglo-Zio cabal and liquidated, just like al Nusra and ISIS. Israel wants to replace Ceyhan with Haifa and control all the oil from their port, and they want to make sure nobody can turn the tap to them off. Rothschild and the U.K./U.S. Israeli-firsters just want their cut of the eventual loot and to preserve their dying petrodollar. They let Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the club for funding, and probably promised them their pipelines through Syria.
This is directly related the the Su-24 shoot-down. The U.S. has turned a blind eye to Turkey's overt and covert military intervention through its Turkmen Jihadis because one of the main CIA arms-smuggling rat-lines is through the Turkmen Mountain region. The U.S. has willingly and eagerly supplied TOW-2As to the Turkmen jihadis there in order to preserve those smuggling routes. There were probably plenty of Xe/Academi military advisors helping the Turkmen and they were getting killed by Russian air strikes. The CIA is frantic to do something to prevent Syria/Russia from closing those routes, and will back any hair-brained Turkish scheme in desperation. CIA arms smuggling routes IN are also Turkish jihadi smuggling routes IN and ISIS stolen oil routes OUT. They're all related and all threatened by Russia. Same as the Aleppo-Aziz-Killis route - it's multi-purpose for many kinds of smuggling.
The backup act of desperation is already playing out. While Syria/Russia tries to take back the two main corridors mentioned above, Turkey and the U.S. are trying to create an entirely new corridor through Afrin canton before Russia gets there. The U.S. may abhor another Kurd slaughter like they were party to in Kobane and Sinjar, but the CIA needs new rat-lines, damn it - that means some Afrin Rojava are going to have to die. Minne-E needs new oil smuggling routes (and a few new tankers), and daddy needs a reliable route to funnel Uighur, Uzbek and Chechen head-choppers to keep the pressure on Assad. Erdogan himself probably has a boner at the thought of another 25,000 dead Kurds. Barazani won't complain too much. The Rojava Kurds don't want to join his criminal gang and swear obedience to him, so he has no use for them. He just needs to convince the world that he is the supreme leader of the Kurdish cause, not the Kurds. See why he likes Erdogan so much?
For the anglo-zio oil cartel, the Syrian war isn't so much about replacing Assad right away. They would be delighted if that happened, but now they just want to preserve what they have in Syria in the face of Russian involvement. If worse comes to worse, all the parties will just retract their jihadis back across Turkish borders and wait for another opportunity. There's plenty of land-grabbing and bribery work in Iraqi Kurdistan to keep them busy for now. The long game is to own all the oil and gas possible in Syria and Iraq when the smoke clears, and then 100% control where it flows to and who sells it for what price. They'll kill every last Syrian, Iraqi and Kurd if necessary to make sure they control the spice.
Good summary dude!
@pavewayIV,
I don't know where you get or why you have such rather detailed information on this topic, but I applaud you for sharing it. I am taking it as valid as I have nothing else to compare it to.
Thanks.
Great points.
Or maybe all the governments and ISIS are just incompetent. Occam's Razon baby. Never invoke conspiracy when stupidity and incompenence will suffice.
The US could easily convert any and all of these convoy routes to permanent graveyards, Highway of Death style. They will not. That tells you all you need to know. The US and ISIS are one in this. US military - where are you? Why are you not dealing with this? (rhetorical questions)
Now that we just airdrop the weapons, Who needs Turkey?
Excellent overview. Leviathan, though, may be Zion's white whale.
That was a damn fine article, Tyler. +1000
I should have offered that thought first before scratching out my rant.
Erdogan's crime family is a complex issue in already complex environment of Turkish politics - you did a great job of breaking down Bilal's motivations and the oil angle. I feel sorry for all the unfortunate Turks saddled with these psychopathic losers in charge (and I speak from the authority of experience here in the U.S.).
cool
more refugees
even cheaper labor;-)

There is also the gobshite Kurd oil / arms dealer to deal with as well. Many Kurds are pissed off as unsurprisingly all the gains go to him personally. There's some leverage.
Don't feel sorry for the turks. They, like all groups of people who tolerate bullies and psychos, deserve what they get.
175+ up arrows? one down arrow? Mubarak is still alive you fools.
But you see Daesh sells their oil only for US dollars so they aren't killed for doing it.
Mubarak is still alive man
Just another sociopath in a position of power.
He must be the one buying up all the paper contracts backed by copper dreams.
WTF chart of the night http://finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=HG&p=m5
Turkey needs this conflict to distract its population.
Second, Turkey is a main supported of jihadi organizations such as al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham.
Even the US trained rebels were killed by these jihadists with the help of Turkey.

All the players in this game right from russia to US and everybody in between are in it for money power etc. So the fight for this will only lead to more instability and uprooting the lives of millions more.
So in order to avoid this chaos the big and small players need to get what they want, otherwise this chaos will continue indefinitely with nobody benefitting in the end. So what the big players could think about doing is...arm twist erdogan's family to stop buying oil from isis. Rebuild iraq and syria with contracts shared by the russo and western bloc. Its big money for these powers. And let anybody who wants pipelines pass through syria/turkey to pass through with transit fees going to syria/turkey( assad and erdogan should be made to work together for this to happen because both are losing billions in transit fees and thereby war is resulting because of these two) . Bomb the isisians and hezbollans who want to fight and provide jobs for those among these groups who will quit fighting in exchange for jobs in buliding iraq and syria. Same with kurds in syria. Open up iraq and kurd oil sales legitimately like they did with iran. Let the resulting revenue from oil be shared between the kurds and iraqis and the powers like its happening in saudi, in order for the powers to actually allow all this to happen.
US and russia working together like this could also lead to the west loosening the sanctions on russia. US, israel, russia working together will mutually benefit all three in many other ways much more than if they work against each other.

The true powers behind all of this prosper from chaos. It's not about money, because they know better than most, that all of the money is fake and only represents a means of obtaining CONTROL. When they hold the reigns of power, money is pointless and only a tool of manipulation of their serfs.
Our role is to pay homage, rent, dues, a fee for small bits of liberty, liberty only of value as a fictional sense of superiority over others through gifted entitlements, but completely meaningless in regard to any real freedom, as we will do nothing without their permission.
Money is fuel.
Financial products are weapons.
Weapon systems are tools.
The West has become so dumbed down that it has lost sight of the concept of spiritual warfare. We cannot see because we are afraid to look.
Evil is not a mere superstitious construct. There is a war on that is being fought on more than the physical plane. Each person has to choose sides.
Look and decide.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. -- Plato
What you said can be better achieved if the west and russia join hands like i said.
Professor Phillip Mirowski (Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste) has a theory that unite US, China, and Russia in one common goal. Something to do in fighting pollution, global warming, and waste.
It sounds plausible.
Your inane mention of Hezbollah more or less gives you away here.

Sort of.
You see Ba'al was a Mesopotamian deity for hundreds of years before the Hebrew scribes opined that the gods of the native Canaanites (the Israelites were Egyptian dissidents) were evil/demons.
So a better original translation is Baal is God, i.e. That's what most people were worshipping.
The Yahweh cult had stiff competition from other gods among Jews well into the first few centuries or so bce. And for a while, probably most of them worshipped Baal as the Sun.
Golly gee fucking wiz, why does this not surprise me?
Turkey's Joe Biden's son arrangement (a la Ukraine gas)
So, this means that NATO has been supporting ISIS, the EU has been supporting ISIS, the US has been supporting ISIS.
Go Vlad, if only to make the assholes look like assholes they really are
Can you imagine the depreciation that that kid is getting on all those white Toyota pickups?!?!?!?! Genius!
So, leeme see here. Mrs K just got this when all I said was Turkey. ISIS is a western invention to overthrow Assad so the Gulf pipeline to Europe to screw Putin out of revenues can get built. The pipeline which would conveniently run through ... ta dah!
Turkey!
So Turkey runs the crap through the PM's son ... Billions upon billions $$$$$$$, and as if there's no banking funds to track... er, NSA, so that's why it never came to light because it would have shown our duplicity of funding and "fighting"...
So ... Oh, y'all get the picture.
Holy Bee Jesus!
I wonder if any of this is in Hillery's emails. You know, the ones we don't hear a fucking peep about, after about 3 weeks. Not a peep!
