Part 1.US SuperGov hides its support for ISIS, risks war
It is commonly thought that ISIS, the Islamic State In Iraq and Syria (also ISIL or Daesh), was born from fall out from wars there. Some say it is a splinter group from Al-Qaeda. But the only sure way to understand who ISIS would be to be privy to who finances it. “Follow the money trail and you will find the owner” is a time-tested rule that never fails for long. The endless US SuperGov propaganda effort has been from day one to convince us of the impossible, that ISIS is self financing and that we must not think about or look for its godfather of finance.
US SuperGov has not yet been clearly pinned with directly financing ISIS, but many besides this writer suspect it with good reason. All signs point to ISIS very existence it to be an instrument of US regime change in the Middle East. Hidden is the method and the parties through whom the dollars are funneled to ISIS. We will explore why this view is very logical.
Unfortunately the money-flow monitoring system that is so efficient in tracing every bank transaction that crosses a national border is not going to help us. After the tragic killings of 120-odd fun seekers in Paris, the news has been about ISIS and little else–how it must be stopped, destroyed, “decapitated”, as President Obama grotesquely quipped. But not once have I read or heard anyone suggesting ISIS needed to be de-funded, which means cutting off its supply of money. It seems to be a very suspicious, gentleman’s rule that the sources of money are never to be mentioned in the same breath with ISIS. We are supposed to believe the nonsense that it is self-supporting. The first sign of US SuperGov sheltering ISIS is that the former has done nothing to uncover ISIS’s Godfather (who we suspect is Saudi Arabia) nor to end the flow of dollars to it.
The US SuperGov could strangle ISIS if it really wanted to. Consider how sanctions have proved capable of financially strangling Iran. and Cuba for 50 years. and how they are now applied to Russia and others. So why can’t it find and control the flow of money into ISIS, a non-country without even a bank of its own? Do we really believe that the US SuperGov surveillance machine, which stashes and reads at will our e-mail, is not capable of tracing billions of dollars into some world accounts used to pay for war equipment? How does ISIS pay Delta for hundreds of air fares back and forth from the Middle East? ISIS mercenaries drive hundreds, maybe thousands, of brand new Toyota pick-up trucks we see on BBC, but our SuperGov can’t trace and block this flow of cash? Common sense tells us they could if they wanted to, so why don’t they? Again, we must resort to common sense and logic.
Once we find out who finances ISIS, we can guess all we need to know about its objectives and who its fighters are. And don’t be surprised if you ask and do not get a clear answer. Rather we are fed a popular, but preposterous story that ISIS pays for its own war by selling slaves, robbing banks, and running captured oil wells and refineries.
Bizarre as it sounds, recent events have shown that oil revenues may actually have been part of its funding for many months, but only because US SuperGov watched and allowed it to happen. I once wrote it was no less logical to believe ISIS warriors milk goats and sell cheese to pay for tanks and artillery than that they sell oil! I never believed the “selling petrol” story and said so, but it seems I was wrong. It is clear and logical the US SupperGov watched let them do it, that is until Russia and France arrived! According to the prestigious Financial Times of London, November 14, Isis Inc: how oil fuels the jihadi terrorists*, it has been running old fields called al-Omar, and selling oil to truckers, who haul it away to markets. It is also suggested they operated a refinery in central Syria.
Note that the US excuse for bombing raids in Syrian was to protect the world from ISIS, it had no invitation from the Assad government. Bit it seems those hundreds of US air strikes did not try to stop the crude oil flow, at least not until the Russians joined the war party a few months ago. Immediately after France bombed ISIS’s oil transportation system, responding to the Paris attack US SuperGov developed an excuse why it claimed it could not shut down the oil production. It blaming their lack of action on a decision by President Obama. Yes, the US ignored the ISIS refinery after commencing the bombing of other targets in Syria for many months and hundreds of raids elsewhere, ignored that is until France became angry with ISIS and bombed it.
In less then one week France and Russia have both claimed to have destroyed ISIS’s ability to sell oil from Syria’s northern oil fields by simply destroying its means of transporting crude oil to markets in Iraq. France says it used intelligence borrowed from the US forces to destroy 116 oil transport trucks parked at the apparently shut down refinery. A few day before Russia claims it found and destroyed 500 transports on a highway to Iraq. It is not important if this number is accurate or even close, Russia and France have both shown they know how to shut down ISIS’s oil sale without destroying Syria’s valuable oil industry.
An US SuperGov excuse story for not shutting down ISIS’s crude oil sales border on silly It was published in always-willing Bloomberg News. It tells us that (before the arrival of Russia and France) the US could not inflict sufficient damage on the ISIS refinery to keep it shut down. Thus the US forces allowed ISIS to raise money selling oil to continue its siege on the Assad government, and some of that money ended in murder in the Paris streets.
Logically, US weapons of mass destruction can shut down any factory (refinery or oil well) that manufactures an explosive product like oil, anytime it has a will to do so. How come the US could not think of destroying the transports and pipelines two years ago? And what about the refinery’s pipe line to Turkey, is it also allowed to run? I do not know, but my guess is this is why Turkey is so cooperative with the US in fighting against Assad.
It appears that US SuperGov has allowed ISIS to pump Syrian oil and flow to Turkey and Iraq, and the money flow back to ISIS…is that possible? This would explain why Turkey is hostile to Russia, the latter being quite serious about destroying ISIS, who Turkey depends upon. On November 24, 2015 Turkey shot down a Russian war plane over Syria, a strange thing to do if the two are supposed to be allies against ISIS. But not so strange if Turkey is an ally of US SuperGov and the two want to keep ISIS going until the Assad regime can be replaced. Regime change, as was done in Iraq Afghanistan, Sudan, Libya, and is aimed at Iran, and perhaps even Russia?
More and more we are led to the logical where news fails us. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the US are sheltering ISIS; against Russian and Syria who want to destroy it and allow Assad to continue. Is it possible that acts like those of Turkey against Russia could lead to world war? Why not, President Obama has just today stated that Russia is not on board with the US plan, that being to ignore all the factions warring against Assad, except ISIS. Unsaid is that the US SuperGov would mastermind this war in Syria that has already put million of refugees on the road to Europe. The end result, the Assad family is turned out, maybe murdered, and Syria is divided into hunks rules by regional warlords. Then ISIS can slide forth toward Iran, the next regime change on the list. Does this logic resonate?
Perhaps US SuperGov does not want a world war, but whoever they are, they want ISIS to complete regime change in Syria! So ISIS’s black-market oil continues to flow because someone higher than President Obama wants to keep on warring.
This writer doubts that ISIS depends on the sale of oil for money nor on the sale of slaves or any of the other fanciful stories we are told. If and when oil sales are cut off, It will be funded as all armies always are: from “back home,” wherever that is. So who is the big daddy behind ISIS? It has wonderful weapons, better than the US-equipped Iraqi army, and far beyond Syria. Some of ISIS’s weapons are made in the US, said to have been captured from vast US military stockpiles in Iraq. Some believe the buddy to be Saudi Arabia, America’s supposedly second-best ally in the Middle East. And Saudi Arabia has the third biggest war budget in the world, about $80 billion per year, ahead of Russia. Saudi Arabia is without a doubt the largest buyer of US war equipment, so what if the Saudis loaned some of this war power to ISIS? Would the USA’s best friend ME, second only to Israel, loan weapons to the US SuperGov enemy? Yes, if ISIS is destabilizing the Saudi’s competition.
And how about Israel, which has lately been exposed as a secret ally of the Saudis? These two countries are supposed to be mortal enemies of each other, but they have a mutual defense alliance. Perpetual war in the Middle East helps to cover up Israel’s brutal occupation of the unarmed and hopeless Philistines. In the eyes of many Americans, especially Christians Zionists who want to believe it, Philistines are thought of as part of ISIS. So war on ISIS serves as a cover for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and West Bank Palestine. Perhaps Israel gives the Saudis a hand.
Others are also applying logic when the news fails us. According to a makes-sense publication, Critical Thinking, “There can be little doubt that ISIS is a US/Israel creation, aided, abetted and funded by the UK, NATO, Turkey and the Gulf States.” Critical Thinking continues, “Now Obama is committing to putting US special forces on the ground in Syria (placed among the moderate opposition to Assad) ostensibly as ‘advisers’ but more accurately as human shields to protect ISIS from Russian bombs – it would be more than embarrassing for Russia to kill US troops; it could easily escalate and broaden the conflict into WWIII. Think about how WWI started – from a localized event which unleashed pent-up geopolitical tensions.”
Critical Thinking‘s logic is consistent with events. ISIS’s cash may well flow in from Saudi Arabia, an US surrogate, and from the CIA, which funded the Iraqi underground war with plane-loads of US $100 bills printed at the Federal Reserve. ISIS’s lead warriors are known to be recruited from all over the globe, probably paid more than what an US soldier earns! It is not cheap to bring fighters from Denver, London, or Paris. At least three women from Denver are in custody for trying to join ISIS in Turkey! Mercenaries fight, but they would not be there without cash up front.
There is another reason to suspect Saudi Arabia of being ISIS’s backer: their common religion. We are falsely led to believe ISIS is standard, radicalized Islam, but is it? Only in Saudi Arabia is the Wahhabi fringe of Islam practiced with beheadings and the chopping off of limbs, including those of political prisoners. The Independent did a count, and found Saudis behead someone on the average of every other day. According to Wikipedia, 151 beheadings have occurred so far in 2015. Only Saudi Arabia and ISIS practice punishment by decapitation. If they act alike, maybe they are “the same!”
Charlie Rose interviewed Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria, on PBS and acted stunned over what Assad told him, that ISIS is “the same” as Saudi Arabia. Host Rose was so surprised he asked President al-Assad to repeat the statement.“There is no difference,” said Assad. Rose did not question it.
Why not an ISIS war, paid for by US SuperGov through proxies, Saudi and others, and fought by mercenaries who think they are fighting against “US imperialism?” US SuperGov may think they need more wars to keep the economy from stalling and crashing! The USA and NATO are fanning flames, and Israel and have created countless Arab enemies for us. Many think they hate us enough to die for one chance to get even, or to kill a Frenchman.
Here is what makes common sense. ISIS’s military leaders were recruited out of the military leaders of the US-rejected Saddam Hussein’s Socialist Ba’ath party in Iraq. Its money comes from the New York FED’s printing press, cycled and washed through Saudi Arabia’s enormous, ill-gotten oil wealth. Hatred feeds ISIS, coming from the millions of homeless and impoverished, the hopeless sons and daughters of those slaughtered in six US SuperGov regime-change wars; volunteers are bitter men who have been victimized and are desperate for a job. Some are willing to wear suicide vests to have a chance to get even. They are not motivated by religion, but by the desperate homeless poverty that we see in the immigration march to Europe. This is not inside information, it is simple logic.
Only an arms-locked movement of the American people, demanding peace and challenging US SuperGov, can stop the serial wars. That movement must, and this is my opinion, start in our churches, which are responsible for caring for the orphans, widows, and homeless refugees. These churches need to break their cowardly silence and oppose killing, as Jesus would.
