ISIS Oil Plot Thickens: Turkish MP Has Evidence Erdogan's Son-In-Law Involved In Illegal Crude Trade
On Thursday, Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu said the following about Russia’s allegations that Turkey and more specifically, President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and his family, are involved in the trafficking of illegal ISIS crude:
"In the Cold War period there was a Soviet propaganda machine. Every day it created different lies. Firstly they would believe them and then expect the world to believe them. These were remembered as Pravda lies and nonsense. This was an old tradition but it has suddenly reared its head again. Nobody attaches any value to the lies of this Soviet-style propaganda machine.”
As we went on to note, Davutoglu’s assessment isn’t exactly correct. Quite a few people “attach value” to Moscow’s allegations, not the least of which are the authorities in Baghdad, from whom Turkey is effectively stealing not only by facilitating the trafficking of ISIS oil, but also by piping over 600,000 b/d from Kurdistan to Ceyhan.
In fact, Iraq is so agitated that they’re set to ask the Security Council to investigate the situation and brand anyone found to be involved “criminals.”
Of course the thing about being an autocrat - and that’s most certainly what Erdogan is despite the West’s ridiculous contention that Turkey is a democracy - is that you make a whole lot enemies in your own country and while you can suppress dissent with force, eventually it all catches up to you and between Russia’s accusations and opposition political parties still stinging from AKP’s move to nullify June’s election outcome by starting a civil war and calling for snap elections, Erdogan may be in trouble.
Underscoring that contention is CHP lawmaker Eren Erdem who says he, like Moscow, will soon provide proof of Erdogan’s role in the smuggling of Islamic State oil. "I have been able to establish that there is a very high probability that Berat Albayrak is linked to the supply of oil by the Daesh terrorists,” Erdem said at a press conference on Thursday (see more from Sputnik).
Berat Albayrak is Erodan’s son-in-law and is Turkey’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
(Berat Albayrak)
Erdem isn’t the only person to mention Albayrak this week. Recall that in his opening remarks at the dramatic Russian MoD presentation on Wednesday Deputy Minister of Defence Anatoly Antonov said the following:
"No one in the West, I wonder, does not cause the issue that the son of the President of Turkey is the leader of one of the largest energy companies, and son-in-appointed Minister of Energy? What a brilliant family business!"
"There is one company, headquartered in Erbil, which in 2012 acquired oil tankers, and which is currently being bombarded by Russian aircraft,” Erdem said. “I am now studying this company's records. It has partners in Turkey, and I am checking them for links to Albayrak."
(Erdem)
Note that this is entirely consistent with what we said last week, namely that in some cases, ISIS takes advantage of the Kurdish oil transport routes, connections, and infrastructure in Turkey. It will certianly be interesting to see if there's a connection between Albayrak, the energy ministry, and Bilal Erdogan's BMZ Group.
If you know anything about Erdogan, you know that he doesn’t take kindly to this kind of thing and as Erdem goes on to recount, he’s already been the subject of a smear campaign:
"Today, the Takvim newspaper called me an American puppet, an Israeli agent, a supporter of the [Kurdish] PKK, and the instigator of a coup…all in the same sentence. I am inclined to view this attack on me as an attempt to belittle my significance, to attack my reputation in the eyes in the public, given that my investigation is a real threat to the government. Such a sharply negative reaction suggests that my assumptions are fair, and I am moving in the right direction to find the truth."
The lawmaker says that type of attack has “only convinced [him] further on the need to carry this investigation through to the end."
In the meantime, we can only hope that, for the sake of exposing the truth, “the end” doesn’t end up being a Turkish jail cell, or worse for Erdem.

Do they make nail guns in Turkey?
Yep, with top brands for JPM, Goldman, RBS, WF, CITI and Deutche. They even self point at you too.
Don't need them in order to get nailed.
Looks like Uncle sam wil throw them under the bus, or Mig

Dead man walking.
Many loose ends now for Erdogan popping up.
How long he can play whack-a-mole until one illuminates paper trail implication between ISIS and Erdogan's masters like McCain, Graham, Nuland?
Maybe Erdogan will come up with a "massive" distraction that makes oil-thievery insignificant. Hope not.
Cut off a hand and a foot for thievery.
A hand and a foot is for Banditry, not thievery. THought i would clear that up. You are right though. it stilll applies.
Turkey is controlled by a family of bandits.
Turkey is largely a nation of bandits.
Dead man walking.

Yes, in turkish prisons nailgun accidents are very common.
USA boot licker is fucked now. Maybe.
NATO membership all paid up in advance, or overdue ?
That will decide his fate.
It is nice to see a Turkish MP standing up. Maybe he is just a See Eye Aye puppet dropping the dime on Erdogan.
Putin minces no words about Turkish betrayal. Kind words for Turksih people but scorn for Erdogan and his cronies. Classic Putin.

Son in law? I wonder what they're talking about at the dinner table?
It does seem strange for somebody to come out and say "I'm working on revealing evidence that might get me killed pretty soon".
Answers would be appreciated?
Erdo:"Sorry we're out."
That "almost" uni-brow is giving me the chills man.
Obama should be impeached for his role in supporting ISIS with funding and weapons, and then he and everyone else involved should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law and punished with long prison terms and forfeiture of all government pensions and benefits.
And do you think that could be accomplished? It's a fucking dream if it happens but I wouldn't count on it in this lifetime.
It's the neocon pipe dream our foreign rrelations. I agree whole heartedly
The US Govt is corrupt from top to bottom. CON-grez-zio does nothing, The Pentagram does nothing but wants more proxy wars, the Military does nothing, the intelligence agencies are all involved. The media and idiots who watch it are corrupt.
A corrupt society eventually implodes.
The USA is a joke. Supposedly the backbone of the country, white males, are idiots who cheer on white genocide cheering on their Trayvon thugs and Jamies rapists in college and pro ball like little cheerleader girls. Pathetic.
His name was Ahmet Davutoglu.
Erdogan reminds me of Sadam Hussain. Rectal plundering due for him soon by some over entusiastic protesters among his own people.
Tha would be the Libyan former dictator who made the mistake of siding with another curreny, not Sadam Barack Hussein.

No offense to ze ziopaths....but the main buyer of ISIS's/Turkey's oil is israel.
Go figure huh?

Putin knows the mother fucking Zionists are up to no good. There will be hell to pay.
Satanists are running this crapshow, not Zionists. Really important blame falls to the right people.
Israel will go fast if the big bar fight starts

Erdem, I hope you have a current will.
He like to be called "Erdo", his trans name.
Our own federal government insists that we're a democracy too so there you go!
can we just kick turkey out of nato and let russia go wild? nothing of value will be lost. time for europe to reclaim some land from the muzzies.
Imagine that, a crony relative caught up in a corruption scandal..., color me shocked.
If the U.S. ever has to go to war with Russia, it DAMN BETTER BE something more important than the fact that Turkey is a member of NATO - fuck them.
Thanks Allah, if you're still alive by the weekend.
Don't they cut off the hand that is shit free for oil rustling in muzzyland?
Oh -no (sigh) Now we are going to have to listen to O-bomba. Telling us why all this illegal crude trade in turkey is justifyed
I think he has a golf date with Reggie now.
Bilal Erdoghon, puppet extrordinaire?
Our Israeli-Neocons are very vulnerable. Tie all this to 9/11, they are part of the same kleptocracy.
9/11 is the weak point in their political position. The evidence is clear, they did a false flag operation against the citizens of the US.
https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/911-is-the-weak-spot/
9/11 was a False Flag operation by the Israeli-Neocons in the US Government

Realize what these very evil people are trying to do. World Domination! It would be a bad SciFI mad scientist script, but no question, it is happening to us in the year 2015.
It takes a strong mind to resist the propaganda.
You guys are actually pretty gullible....
What was Putin's title before he was the big boy???
Thats right!!!!
Head bitch in charge of ............ wait for it.....
Dept of disinformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that sounds like a creadible info source if there ever was one.........
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bunch of gullible idiots or else all of the putin pussy brigrade are paid by the big guy himself....
Which is my theory....
They seem to have hijacked this good market page to turn it into an I love putin page.......
Actually, I don't see anyone being gullible, except for the people who won't look at the 9/11 evidence, and that is more fear than gullibility 14 years after the event.
Indeed, Putin was a KGB guy. Does it mean he can't play a good hand honestly, when he wins more that way?
Putin isn't providing nearly all of the info he could. Remember MH17? How about all of the other Neuland intercepts?
Putin is not trusted, he gives us the information for us to judge. These aren't empty accusations, Russia backs them up with documentation.
I notice you didn't try to deal with that, just made that silly "Turned it into an I Love Putin page". We respect Putin because he is doing what needed done, and is improving things by defeating out country's criminals, our Israeli-Neocons. That is good for me, and so I smile upon the man who is doing me that favor, and thank him. Don't love him, just respect a professional doing his job well.
https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/11/18/you-who-allow-yourselves-t...
He could play good hand honestly and I think he had been for a long time. But when turkey rejected to be russias watchdog in middleeast and get close to EU and US this July ( letting US to use incirlik base ) than disinformation began.
About the MH17 and all other subjects I agree with you, they seem to be more honest and accurate compared to West. But this latest move of Turkey must made russians very very mad because the amount of disinformation is actually funny. One must be very gullible to belive that a graphic map with couple of arrows pointing turkey from nort syria is a 'proof' of oil smuggling.. I mean come on. If that is proof I can do same with longer arrows pointing russia. Does that also prove putin-isis alliance?
Truth is the only strong Nato country that doesnt participate the US led sanction on Russia is Turkey. That made putin very glad that they came up with turkish stream project and bunch of other things. They thought they won an ally, but the thing is Turkey cannot turn her back to EU or US like nothing happened, of course eventually she got closer to her natural allies. Now what is with this emotional bursts of putin and russia against Turkey? They act like a mad cow, ban fruits, sending back turkish students, arresting turkish businessman.. These are act of weakness. Russia will suffer a lot more than Turkey does.
Despite the Ukraine mass on north, wars in south, and the bankrupt greece on west, Turkey still manages to grow 3-4 even 5% anually. Turkey has solid rock economy compared to russia who shrank 5% this year?
With your autism I, alas, cannot be of any help.
Asking for evidence = autism
Believing nonsense propaganda = genius
New world order? 1984?
"the amount of disinformation is actually funny"
This is the exact reason Russia seems more believable (at least to me, let me not speak on behalf of others).
Switch to any mainstream media channel, honestly, take your pick, pick multiple. You get 24/7 unrelenting bombardment of the Russian boogieman and it honestly fills your tolerance level so fast the BS meter just explodes and you want to puke it all out before it rots your brain.
The simple fact that the US feels it necessary to repeat their agenda (however incoherent or illogical) so often makes me believe Russia is on to something here.
Then factor in the US allies/lapdogs and it really does seem more sinister without too much imagination, I've witnessed the protests against UK action in Syria first hand, and I'm 150% convinced the public are against it, they made it very clear. Yet in the farce of a debate in the UK parliament one paid for politician after the other toes the US line and hey presto, more bombs in Syria despite the fact that the only bombs to date that had any measurable negative effect on the extremists are from the boogieman Russia.
The pièce de résistance is the official US response to Russian allegations (backed by at least something other than words) which is "we believe Turkey because they're a trusted NATO ally".
W-T-F?!? wake up people!
Ahem, this story is about a Turkish MP, not Putin.
The disinformation agent in the current scenario would be you.
@luckylogger "Dept of disinformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The US government and 95% of the media and political parties are part and parcel of the US Ministry of Propaganda. All countries have their national agendas that they promote.The Soviet Union was a complete totalitarian State.
In the USA it is the people that are supposed to be the master of their servants. Those roles have been reversed though conspiracy and good ole boy networking. The USA is by degrees more rapidly becoming a totalitarian State. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
You are absolutely right. This guy in the article is deputy for long time he claims this sort of things and yet noone even listens this bullshit. Apperantly zerohedge readers are more gullible than average turkish citizen. Thats really sad.
@ luckylogger
No disrespect but god damn man!! Do you not get the macro concept of whats been happening to russia in just the past decade? Putin aside, anyone in his position that is sane would do exactly what he is doing.
Do you recall the Georgian / South Ossetia conflict in 08? Do you comprehend the spin that was put on that? The west was blaming Russia, while the Ossettians were praising Russia. Georgia was a mini Ukraine type of coup and was the US's bitch. They frikkin invaded S. Ossettia and murdured innocent people. Russia said fuck you!
Heres just one example of the lies from western media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fBGtXS66VM
Now Russia sees the Ukraine go to western power, our media "says" Russia is attacking?? Wheres the evidence?
Not that I trust the Russians, but I cant blame 'em.
I never thought Russians to be So bloody cunning.
They always seemed naive, calling US their partners etc.
I now see, they played dirty. Waiting and allowing west to think they had won and allow them free reign for 2 years to steal all oil.
Now they attack and expose the criminal activity that Turkey will end up paying to Syria and Iraq for.
I hear British and US soldiers rushing to Iraq to cover up all loose documents. While Daesh is selling documents on the cheap.
The Russian were naive. They believed all the NATO propaganda in the 1980s, opened up, and got royally hosed in the 1990s. People learn from pain. Russians are people and they've had a lot of pain.
The US has not had pain for quite a long time. Perhaps the US has become naive in a reverse cycle.
Not naive, but certainly disorganized == relatively weakened.
Russia had a contest gov vs oligarchs, who will win. Gov won in Russia, oligarchs have won here. See why Russia became the big enemy?
I was going to use the following to back that up, but re-reading it, it is an early understanding that
" our socio-econo-political system does not have an effective control for this self-destroying aspect of our national control system. Everyone at the top must see that as clearly as we here in the 99% do."
As do the Israeli-neocons, who intend the destruction because they cannot allow normal political processes.

yep, dead man walking.
this guy wont make Christmas.
Turkish agents are probably trying to figure out - where is the ZeroHedge server??
Assad regime showing clear signs of distress. Russia moves in with military aid and begins attacking ISIS oil supply routes. Turkey shoots down a Russian airplane. Russia loudly accuses Turkey of supporting ISIS and installs S-400 air defence system in Syria. Things seem to be escalating quickly.
With Russian support, Assad can very likely survive forever, defeating Saudi/Turkish/NATO/ISIS plans to oust him. So what is next?
Will Turkey close the bosphorus to Russian traffic, making it difficult for them to ssupport Assad? That would seem to be the next logcal step. Or will Turkey march into Syria to "liberate" it from Russian occupation? After all, Syria was part of the Ottoman empire for a long time and NATO would probably rather have Turkey running Syria than ISIS.
Stay tuned, folks! And make sure your fallout shelters are well stocked.

The Bosphorus and Dardanelles crap is already over. Erdogan tried a little stunt and Putin sent a message.
So did this really happen and how was this resolved? Joanne Leon asked that question today and two answers from knowledgeable people were offered:
and
Hmm ... I am not sure we know if the issue was really resolved with a nuclear threat or by some lesser means. But as no further ships were reported delayed the crisis seems to be over and Russia got its way
A bounty is announced.
As an American with no problem against the people of Turkey... I'd love to see Erdogan (and his son) dead.
The term “Daesh” is strategically a better choice because it is still accurate in that it spells out the acronym of the group’s full Arabic name, al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham. Yet, at the same time, “Daesh” can also be understood as a play on words — and an insult. Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, it can mean anything from “to trample down and crush” to “a bigot who imposes his view on others.” Already, the group has reportedly threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone who uses the term.
Reclaiming the Goddess: Stop Using the Name ISIS to Describe a Bunch of Ignorant, Murderous F**ktardsSo here's the solution. It's one that has already become official in many quarters: call them Daesh (or Da'ish). The word - originally coined by Syrian activists, but now in official usage in France, Australia, and by others such as John Kerry - is an acronym that accurately reflects the group's chosen name, 'ad-Dawlah al-Isl?miyah f? 'l-?Ir?q wa-sh-Sh?m'. But Daesh are apparently furious about it, with reports that they have threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone who uses it.
Daesh. Name the thing as it is, a pet of moneychangers. It is not a state or islamic.
It is so clear that :
erDOGan runs an oil mafia
erDOGan family is criminal
They deserve to be sentenced to life for their crimes
ICC must take their case as war criminals who promote terrorism
However , the (self assumed) ruler of the world CabalA$$LickerDrugAddictedLiarHomObamma pardons Turkey perpetually :
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/25/obama-turkey-pard...
"..Eren Erdem who says he, like Moscow, will soon provide proof of Erdogan’s role in the smuggling of Islamic State oil."
Considering what has been happening to Turkey's patriots as of late this guy has some serious nads. It will be easy to charge him with treason as he is coming out with this information alongside Russia. They will probably draw and quarter his ass... things are going feudal. Expecting Prima Noctae to be declared any minute.
Not really you are wrong. You would be surprise how much free speech people have in Turkey. You can literally say anything about anyone, nothing happens at all. Maybe even too much.
Well this is a question for you, what do you smoke?
The SICK Wahhabist Literature sponsored by the Saudomites and allowed to permeate and meander throughout the UK by the British Government flies in the face of Cameron's Faux War on Terror.
The Corruption at the heart of the British Government whereby MP's and GCHQ receive financial incentives from the House of Saud to allow this spread of hate and indoctrination of the Muslim Youth is mind-warping; and YES the Royal House of Windsor is a Big Beneficiary.
Furthermore Obama and ErDOGan are one of the same SERVANTS in jailing Whistleblowers at the behest of AIPAC/SAUD/QATAR/NATO & Assorted BankCorp Filth.
The US government is involved with this, will you take up arms? No.....YOU are just as much as the problem as they are.... APATHY.......puzzies......
everything erdogan does is straight out ot the machiavelli playbook. he believes that the public has an attention span of 5 minutes and his (yawn) dramatic resignation speech earlier in the week was for those fools. he manipulates his press almost as well as merkel cameron obama et all so he will have no problem steering the story when push (under the bus) comes to shove. he can hunker in his billion dollar water palace. but he pissed off putin. bad move. he should have just accepted his son's dirty business loss and moved on. now hes fighting a titan.
