Mr Engdahl address's the all to convenient narrative of framing/blaming Erdogan regarding the shoot down of the Russian jet- When it just isn't that simple! As he makes clear. Many players buying that oil- Many NATO partners involved- Turkey being a NATO nation. Japan and Israel both being tied into the NATO tyranny. There is no denying KurdIShIS oil is passing through pipelines from Iraq to Ceyhan, Turkey.I've covered that topic, quite, quite extensively in this post: Carving Turkey After a NATO Roasting- Claims vs RealityRead it all now if you haven't previously- Check every link embedded and read some moreTurkey has long transported Iraqi oil for the Kurds- And there is no way NATO destabilizer brand ISIS can get their oil to the pipelines without Kurdish cooperation. That is abundantly clear. No matter how many wish to deny this fact! Link
Gürsel Tekin vice-president of the Turkish Republican Peoples’ Party, CHP, declared in a recent Turkish media interview, “President Erdoğan 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 Erdoğan 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.” Bilal Erdoğan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers
Japan is a NATO partner "across the globe" & NATO occupied!
Japan is the longest-standing of NATO’s “partners across the globe”
Erdogan a ‘Lone Assassin’?
That Erdogan and his Air Force and intelligence services were directly implicated in the shoot-down of the Russian SU-34 is not in dispute. The more relevant question, however, is whether Erdogan and his government acted as a “lone assassin” so to speak. Here several murky questions present themselves.
It is documented that Israel is deeply implicated in working with ISIS in Syria, particularly in the Golan Heights region where Genie Energy, a company tied to Dick Cheney and Jacob Lord Rothschild, recently claimed it had discovered a huge oil find in Israeli seized land in the Syrian Golan Heights. A recent UN report detailed eye-witness accounts of Israeli IDF soldiers with ISIS terrorists. ISIS has also conspicuously ignored attacks on Israel.
Chris Dalby, an analyst with Oilprice.com, wrote in September, 2014, “The 11 oil fields that IS controls in Iraq and Syria have made it a largely independent financial machine. Reports show that IS-controlled fields in Iraq produce between 25,000 and 40,000 barrels of oil per day, at an estimated value of approximately $1.2 million, before being smuggled out to Iran, Kurdistan, Turkey and Syria.”
As I showed quite clearly, in the relinked above post, in order for NATO brand destabilizer ISIS to transport their oil into Iraq, for movement to Ceyhan, they need to get past their evil twins the NATO affilliated Kurds.
The Israeli daily, Haaretz reported that since June, 2014 Israel has imported as much as 75% of its oil needs from Iraq. But it is supposedly from the Kurdish area of Iraq. The Iraqi government claimed that the oil belongs to Iraq and can only be sold through Iraq’s Petroleum Ministry. Conveniently enough for Israel, the eruption of ISIS terror and their taking of the oil region of Mosul near the Kurdish area, and ISIS’ seizing other Iraqi oil fields after June 2014 robbed the Iraqi Baghdad government of major oil revenues, making the spread if ISIS far more easy.
So convenient for Israel-
According to Falastin News Palestine, ISIS has seized sizable stocks of crude oil extracted from oil fields during the past few months. Before the most recent Russian bombing sorties targeting ISIS oil facilities in Syria, ISIS was exporting Iraqi crude oil to Turkey refineries routed through Kurdish region. They report further that Iraqi oil is also being supplied to Israel via Turkey’s Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. Israel and Turkish companies are transporting the oil to the borders using the routes controlled by ISIS.
There were clearly serious silent backers egging Erdogan on to commit the act. What role did the emotionally unstable US Defense Secretary and neo-conservative Russophobe Ash Carter have, if any, in the downing of the SU-34 and later the Russian rescue helicopter? What role did Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ‘Fighting Joe’ Dunford play, if any? What role did the British secret services play, if any? What role did the Israeli IDF and Mossad play, if any, in the Turkish deed?
I particularly like Mr Engdahl's last few sentences-
Clear is that Erdogan and his partners in this crime, whoever they are, have just taken a huge step to escalating a global war. Isn’t it time we stop allowing such incompetent people determine our fate? I think so.
It's way past time folks. Way past time!Engdahl is being way more diplomatic then myself. The shooting down of the Russian plane was a team effort by the nations who benefit from all this oil. Erdogan's son is a bit player in the entire scheme- Just the facts, folks. Just the facts!
