Russian Television is starting a series
of documentaries showing captured ISIS documents, and
Turkish-border-stamped passports of ISIS fighters. The initial news-report also
refers to a ‘fatwa’ that allegedly allows infidels to be killed to
supply fresh organs for transplantation into severely injured ISIS
fighters.
Invoices are shown for records of Syrian
oil trucked into Turkey for sale, which indicate “the name of the
driver, the vehicle type driven, and the weight of the truck, both full
and empty, as well as the agreed upon price and invoice number. One of
the discovered invoices dated 11 January, 2016, says that IS had
extracted some 1,925 barrels of oil from Kabibah oil field and sold
it for $38,342.” Turkey then sells it for far more — the current
market-price.
Also shown is “Islamist propaganda printed in Istanbul.”
The U.S. supplies ISIS through Turkey. Furthermore, Turkey is now a dictatorship, and
its dictator, the fundamentalist-Sunni Tayyip Erdogan, is passionate to
overthrow Syria’s leader, the secular Shiite Bashar al-Assad. ISIS is
the main fighting force he works with to do that.
Allied with Turkey in this effort are: U.S., Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait.
Turkey and the U.S. are in NATO; the others are in the Saudi group, the Gulf Cooperation Council.
(Turkey isn’t, because it’s not on the Persian Gulf. Turkey is instead
the GCC’s representative in, or main link to, NATO. Turkey also is their link to the EU, but hasn’t yet entirely won membership in the EU.)
The royal Sauds are the main funders of Al Qaeda, known as Al Nusra in Syria; and, according to a cable from former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the entire Gulf Cooperation Council are heavy financial backers of not only Al Qaeda but other jihadist groups.
Earlier I headlined: “Western Reporter in Syria Finds U.S.-Backed Fighters Are Jihadists.”
The foreign backers of the jihadist
groups who have flocked into Syria to overthrow Assad are U.S., Turkey,
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait, and that includes the nations
whose leadership back jihadists, even while they need to make
propagandistic statements and occasionally actions that kill some
jihadists.
The central targets of that alliance are Russia and Iran. Assad, of course, is allied to both Russia and Iran.
