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

Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey's PresidentBy Tyler Durden
November 26, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - "Zero Hedge" -  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 Erdogan 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.

War With Russia To Defend ISIS?


War With Russia To Defend ISIS?

By Jack Perry

November 26, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - Hey, remember back in those “good ol’ days” we called the Cold War when we thought World War Three would begin over some penny-ante border skirmish in Europe? You know, a Soviet plane gets close to the border, we panic, it gets shot down. Then the Soviets decide to shoot down the next plane that tries that again. Then it escalates from there. Well, folks, have a look at this.

There. Putin just placed some long-range surface-to-air missiles in Syria. The next Turkish F-16 pilot to play Top Gun is going to get a hotfoot he’ll never forget. Ok, but let’s get back to the Cold War for a second. Can anyone imagine it being 1983 and Reagan giving the okey-dokey to shoot down a Soviet aircraft? Of course not. Not even Reagan was that bonkers. If Turkey had said they were going to do that, they’d have been told in no uncertain terms: Absolutely not. We’d have never allowed a NATO nation to threaten such a thing, much less carry out that threat. They’d have been told to follow the protocols which are to send up planes and escort the aircraft away. That’s what NATO has been doing since they provoked the Russians into resuming Bear bomber excursions close to NATO airspace. They escort the planes away. They don’t shoot them down, no matter how many bloodthirsty whack-jobs were calling for it.

Also, the surviving crewman of the shot-down Russian plane has been recovered. Guess where? Syria! Gee, how’d that happen? If the Russian plane was in Turkey, how comes the Turks didn’t capture the guy? And since the pilot was killed by ground fire coming from al-Qaida, there are only two possibilities there. One, the plane was in Syria, which we can pretty much say is a given. Or, two, the plane was in Turkey and al-Qaida is getting safe haven in Turkey. So, ok, Turkey, which one was it? Was the plane in Syria when your F-16s ambushed it? Or are you harboring al-Qaida?

I bet NATO nations that want to stay out of this are crapping enough bricks to build a pyramid at this point. I hear tell that Turkish F-16s cross into Syria with some regularity. Sooner or later, one will get bagged by a Russian SAM crew. Or the next F-16 to shadow a Russian plane is going to get a supersonic parting gift. “Vanna, tell our contestant what he’s won!” “He’s won a surface-to-air missile and a free trip by parachute into the arms of his air rescue crew!” Turkey goes whining to NATO and demands assistance. There, we’re in World War Three. I tend to think this entire thing has been staged and Turkey was coached in it by those who want to get us into a war by any means necessary. I tend to think that actor is the Pentagon. They probably think the President and Congress aren’t getting us into a war fast enough.

Here’s what’s obviously going down over there. Turkey is, and always has been, supporting al-Qaida and ISIS. Both of them are covertly supported by the United States which is why a year-plus-change-you-can-believe-in’s worth of airstrikes haven’t even cost ISIS a magazine subscription. ISIS and al-Qaida have been using Turkey as a safe haven and that’s the starting point of the ISIS version of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. How come ISIS keeps getting resupply? Because Turkey is where the supply depot is. So, ok, ISIS ends up nuttier than a fruitcake but we still need them to get rid of Assad, so we just kick the can down the road, hoping an international coalition will get rid of ISIS later. But here came the Russians and no one thought that would happen. And it might not have if NATO and the U.S. had minded their own business in Ukraine. So Putin moved up his pieces on the board. But now here was the chance to get the war we wanted to start in Ukraine started in Syria and kill two birds with one stone. So to speak. Hence, Turkey was not challenged and warned off by the U.S. when they said they were going to shoot down Russian planes. In fact, that’s exactly what the Pentagon needed. And now it’s happened.

See, the Pentagon thinks it can win a war with Russia. Seriously. They do. Because even if it goes nuclear, as long as we wipe them out and we’ve got a handful of bureaucrats and generals alive in their fuehrerbunkers, we won! Hooray! Aren’t you all excited and proud to be an American right now? Gee, it’s swell to know we didn’t scrap all those nuclear weapons after the Cold War. We scrapped the air raid sirens so, hey, if you’re in the shower you might not even know the world is going to end before you’re done washing your hair. Don’t worry about drying it, the heat flash will do that for you.

Don’t you just love it? I can’t see any other conclusion that can be arrived at except that we’re about to risk a war with Russia over al-Qaida. Makes you wonder if al-Qaida ever was formally off the CIA payroll.

The “ISIS Rockefellers”: How Islamic State Oil Flows to Israel

The “ISIS Rockefellers”: How Islamic State Oil Flows to Israel
By Al-Araby Al-Jadeed
Global Research, November 27, 2015
Al-'Arabi Al-Jadeed 26 November 2015
Url of this article:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-isis-rockefellers-how-islamic-state-oil-flows-to-israel/5491897
(Pictured left: The Islamic State group’s oil earns the ‘caliphate’ $19 million a month through international markets [source: al-Araby]
GR Editor’s Note: Some of the details of this report are fully corroborated.
Oil produced by the Islamic State group finances its bloodlust. But how is it extracted, transported and sold? Who is buying it, and how does it reach Israel?
Oil produced from fields under the control of the Islamic State group is at the heart of a new investigation by al-Araby al-Jadeed. The black gold is extracted, transported and sold, providing the armed group with a vital financial lifeline.
But who buys it? Who finances the murderous brutality that has taken over swathes of Iraq and Syria? How does it get from the ground to the petrol tank, and who profits along the way?
The Islamic State group uses millions of dollars in oil revenues to expand and manage vast areas under its control, home to around five million civilians.
IS sells Iraqi and Syrian oil for a very low price to Kurdish and Turkish smuggling networks and mafias, who label it and sell it on as barrels from the Kurdistan Regional Government.
It is then most frequently transported from Turkey to Israel, via knowing or unknowing middlemen, according to al-Araby’s investigation.
The Islamic State group has told al-Araby that it did not intentionally sell oil to Israel, blaming agents along the route to international markets.

Oil fields

All around IS-controlled oil fields in northern Iraq and eastern Syria, there are signs that read: “Photography is strictly forbidden – violators risk their safety.” They have been signed in the name of the IS group.
These oil fields are in production between seven and nine hours a day, from sunset to sunrise, while production is mostly supervised by the Iraqi workers and engineers who had previously been running operations, kept on in their jobs by IS after it captured the territory.
IS is heavily dependent on its oil revenues. Its other income, such as from donations and kidnap ransoms has slowly dwindled. Workers in IS oil fields and their families are well looked after, because they are very important to the group’s financial survival.
IS oil extraction capacity developed further in 2015 when it obtained hydraulic machines and electric pumps after taking control of the Allas and Ajeel oil fields near the Iraqi city of Tikrit.
The group also seized the equipment of a small Asian oil company that was developing an oil field close to the Iraqi city of Mosul before IS overran the area last June.
IS oil production in Syria is focused on the Conoco and al-Taim oil fields, west and northwest of Deir Ezzor, while in Iraq the group uses al-Najma and al-Qayara fields near Mosul. A number of smaller fields in both Iraq and Syria are used by the group for local energy needs.
According to estimates based on the number of oil tankers that leave Iraq, in addition to al-Araby‘s sources in the Turkish town of Sirnak on the border with Iraq, through which smuggled oil transits, IS is producing an average of 30,000 barrels a day from the Iraqi and Syrian oil fields it controls.

The export trek

Al-Araby
has obtained information about how IS smuggles oil from a colonel in the Iraqi Intelligence Services who we are keeping anonymous for his security.
The information was verified by Kurdish security officials, employees at the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing between Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan, and an official at one of three oil companies that deal in IS-smuggled oil.
The Iraqi colonel, who along with US investigators is working on a way to stop terrorist finance streams, told al-Araby about the stages that the smuggled oil goes through from the points of extraction in Iraqi oil fields to its destination – notably including the port of Ashdod, Israel.
“After the oil is extracted and loaded, the oil tankers leave Nineveh province and head north to the city of Zakho, 88km north of Mosul,” the colonel said. Zakho is a Kurdish city in Iraqi Kurdistan, right on the border with Turkey.
“After IS oil lorries arrive in Zakho – normally 70 to 100 of them at a time – they are met by oil smuggling mafias, a mix of Syrian and Iraqi Kurds, in addition to some Turks and Iranians,” the colonel continued.
“The person in charge of the oil shipment sells the oil to the highest bidder,” the colonel added. Competition between organised gangs has reached fever pitch, and the assassination of mafia leaders has become commonplace.
The highest bidder pays between 10 and 25 percent of the oil’s value in cash – US dollars – and the remainder is paid later, according to the colonel.
The drivers hand over their vehicles to other drivers who carry permits and papers to cross the border into Turkey with the shipment, the Iraqi intelligence officer said. The original drivers are given empty lorries to drive back to IS-controlled areas.
According to the colonel, these transactions usually take place in a variety of locations on the outskirts of Zakho. The locations are agreed by phone.
Before crossing any borders, the mafias transfer the crude oil to privately owned rudimentary refineries, where the oil is heated and again loaded onto lorries to transfer them across the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing into Turkey.
The rudimentary refining, according to the colonel, is performed because Turkish authorities do not allow crude oil to cross the border if it is not licensed by the Iraqi government.
The initial refining stage is conducted to obtain documents that would pass the oil off as oil by-products, which are allowed through the border.
According to the intelligence officer, border officials receive large bribes from local Iraqi smuggling gangs and privately owned refineries.
Once in Turkey, the lorries continue to the town of Silopi, where the oil is delivered to a person who goes by the aliases of Dr Farid, Hajji Farid and Uncle Farid.
Uncle Farid is an Israeli-Greek dual national in his fifties. He is usually accompanied by two strong-built men in a black Jeep Cherokee. Because of the risk involved in taking a photo of Uncle Farid, a representative drawing was made of him.
Once inside Turkey, IS oil is indistinguishable from oil sold by the Kurdistan Regional Government, as both are sold as “illegal”, “source unknown” or “unlicensed” oil.
The companies that buy the KRG oil also buy IS-smuggled oil, according to the colonel.
The route to Israel
After paying drivers, middlemen and bribes, IS’ profit is $15 to $18 a barrel. The group currently makes $19 million on average each month, according to the intelligence officer.
Uncle Farid owns a licensed import-export business that he uses to broker deals between the smuggling mafias that buy IS oil and the three oil companies that export the oil to Israel.
Al-Araby has the names of these companies and details of their illegal trades. One of these companies is also supported by a very high-profile Western official.
The companies compete to buy the smuggled oil and then transfer it to Israel through the Turkish ports of Mersin, Dortyol and Ceyhan, according to the colonel.
Al-Araby has discovered several brokers who work in the same business as Uncle Farid – but he remains the most influential and effective broker when it comes to marketing smuggled oil.
A paper written by marine engineers George Kioukstsolou and Dr Alec D Coutroubis at the University of Greenwich tracked the oil trade through Ceyhan port, and found some correlation between IS military successes and spikes in the oil output at the port.
In August, the Financial Times reported that Israel obtained up to 75 percent of its oil supplies from Iraqi Kurdistan. More than a third of such exports go through the port of Ceyhan, which the FT authors describe as a “potential gateway for IS-smuggled crude”.
Kioukstsolou told al-Araby al-Jadeed that this suggests corruption by middlemen and those at the lower end of the trade hierarchy – rather than institutional abuse by multinational businesses or governments.
According to a European official at an international oil company who met with al-Araby in a Gulf capital, Israel refines the oil only “once or twice” because it does not have advanced refineries. It exports the oil to Mediterranean countries – where the oil “gains a semi-legitimate status” – for $30 to $35 a barrel.
“The oil is sold within a day or two to a number of private companies, while the majority goes to an Italian refinery owned by one of the largest shareholders in an Italian football club [name removed] where the oil is refined and used locally,” added the European oil official.
“Israel has in one way or another become the main marketer of IS oil. Without them, most IS-produced oil would have remained going between Iraq, Syria and Turkey. Even the three companies would not receive the oil if they did not have a buyer in Israel,” said the industry official.
According to him, most countries avoid dealing in this type of smuggled oil, despite its alluring price, due to legal implications and the war against the Islamic State group.

Delivery and payment

Al-Araby
has discovered that IS uses a variety of ways to receive payments for its smuggled oil – in a manner similar to other international criminal networks.
First, IS receives a cash payment worth 10 to 25 percent of the oil’s value upon sale to the criminal gangs operating around the Turkish border.
Second, payments from oil trading companies are deposited in a private Turkish bank account belonging to an anonymous Iraqi person, through someone such as Uncle Farid, and then transferred to Mosul and Raqqa, laundered through a number of currency exchange companies.
Third, oil payments are used to buy cars that are exported to Iraq, where they are sold by IS operatives in Baghdad and southern cities, and the funds transferred internally to the IS treasury.
IS responds
Hours before this investigation report was concluded, al-Araby was able to talk via Skype to someone close to IS in the self-acclaimed capital of the “caliphate,” Raqqa, in Syria.
“To be fair, the [IS] organisation sells oil from caliphate territories but does not aim to sell it to Israel or any other country,” he said. “It produces and sells it via mediators, then companies, who decide whom to sell it to.”

Strangers in our own nation?




Strangers in our own nation?

As the Globalist NWO Cabal simultaneously strikes at every single American Institution, mainstream Americans feel disconnected, alienated, and like strangers in their own country.

by Preston James


banksterslaughing2
Using USG Bailouts to steal taxpayers money to cover our gambling debts is great fun, isn’t it? Now that Quantitative Easings are no longer effective, we can always use Bank Bail-ins to cover our losses.
This is not surprising. The criminal regime running America has been instituting basic changes to our society at breakneck speed by attacking every single American institution, both private and governmental.
These rapid-fire changes are making many Americans feel overwhelmed, disconnected and alienated from their government and America itself the land they live in and call their own.
And many now believe that American Society has become so perverted and tilted that it only serves the top 1% super rich and powerful.
Actually the real number of rich and powerful deviants that the American Political and Financial Systems serve and protect is far less.
It is a very small number of soulless, criminally insane, parasitical sociopaths who just happen to have been able to seize control of our private central banking, our political process, and their large crony corporations. These deviants are true creatures of the night and have no human conscience.
These two-faced duplicitous creatures of the dark-side feel no guilt about starting wars which mass-murder millions of innocents and sacrifice many thousands of wonderful American Soldiers as their cannon fodder.
They can deploy a major Gladio-style False-flag attack on America like they did on 9-11-01 and never feel any guilty or concern for the thousands they murdered or the many thousands of lives of the survivors’ families and first-responders who were poisoned by the air and dust who have already died or are now disabled, terribly sick and dying.
2-303x320Cabal linked crooked Federal Judges have worked hard to keep the truth about what happened on 9-11-01 and who did it covered up while they have served as accessories after the crime by providing vast insurance rewards for one of the Perps and the cabal he works for.
Of course these creatures of the night used their Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM) to wrongly blame Iraq and Afghanistan for 9-11-01, nations who had nothing to do with it.
And because most Americans have been completely mind-kontrolled by these creatures of the night for the last 50 years, it is hard to crack this synthetic false reality and get anyone to listen to the truth.
Fortunately Veterans Today and other Alternative Media on the Internet have been working hard to get truth out to the masses on what has been done to them and what is now being done to them to destroy America and every nation of the World.
Finally Americans are beginning to distrust the Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM) and are waking up from the spell that the CMMM has placed on them.
These changes that the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal is instituting so rapidly at every level in every institution of American Society is part of their Globalist NWO Agenda to overwhelm the existing American political, social and economic system to such a degree no coordinated response is possible and America will be destroyed like they have done to so many other nations the last 1,000 years.

Cold-blooded mass-murders and the slickest thieves in history?
The Cabal’s roll-out of their Evil Agenda is similar to the Cloward-Piven strategy to overwhelm the social support system in order to generate massive chaos which will crash the system, providing the means for a new order to emerge.
This New Order can be one that is re-engineered from the ground up by these soulless super-deviant psychopaths that really run things in secret.
The Cabal can then fold what remains of America and every other nation of the World they destroy into a new World Confederation of pure Luciferian states with one tyrannical World Government run by them.
Along the way the Cabal plans to mass-murder 90% of the World’s population and when they succeed they plan to also mass-murder all their important stateside Cutouts and paid stooges as part of their Evil Agenda. true two-faced evil with a nice face strategy, huh?
These creatures of the night are the ones that create all the money in America and lend it at pernicious usuryto those who should have owned it in the first place. These are the ones that create all that money they need to buy up and control all the politicians, USG officials and Presidents.
when-didThese creatures of the night are the ones that have consolidated all American law Enforcement and the alphabets into a secret police Agency DHS so that they can control it and spy on, oppress, tyrannize the American People.
These are the ones that serve the World’s largest Organized Crime Syndicate, the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal, also known as the Khazarian Mafia run out of the City of London Financial District.
They creatures of the night are hard core Luciferian Globalists with a complete anti-human Globalist NWO Agenda which involves destroying every nation of the World and mass-murdering 90% of the humans that inhabit Planet Earth.
Who are their state-side Cutouts that are willing to do all their dirty work for vast rewards of position, power, status, great privilege and wealth? It is the PNACers, the Top NeoCons who run the vast Israeli-American Synthetic Terror Machine and radically transformed America and the World by planning, engineering and staging the attack on America on 9-11-01 and its cover-up.
These Cabal folks also run the American Military Machine and have been able to deploy it at will to fight illegal, unConstitutional, undeclared, unprovoked war of aggression in foreign lands, especially the Mideast.
We now know for certain that the Khazarian Mafia has played the synthetic racial superiority card to seduce most of their PNACers and Top NeoCons. By mind-kontrolling them to believe they are a chosen race (when they are not and genetic tests prove so), these folks have been convinced they are racially superior. Once they believe they are racially superior it is a natural thing for them appoint their same race buddies and share the vast privileges they believe they are due and have access to.
This malignant perversion of American politics is best described by the use of the term “racial privilege” which always accompanies delusions of racial Racial Purity and Racial Superiority. If a person believes he is part of a racially pure chosen group that is racially superior, that person then believes they are due special privileges and feel no guilt taking them.
To cover up their attack on America on 9-11-01 they had to control the investigation at all levels, use corrupt soulless judges willing to deny justice to survivors and to deny adequate healthcare to many thousands of first-responders and nearby residents made deathly ill.
We now know for certain that the fallout and dust from the bombs detonated in the Trade Center Buildings was pulverized into a fine powder that was incredibly toxic. It was EPA director Kristy Whitman that immediately declared the air safe to breathe. This is gross criminal negligence beyond reason and some consider it the crime of accessory after the crime. Some consider it murder.
We now know for certain that the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal believes that they must hit us hard, fast and at every level of society all at once in as many ways as possible. They believe this will incapacitate Americans emotionally and will crush the American will and spirit. They believe this will keep folks off balance, confused, and unable to organize and fight back at all. But they have grossly underestimated the Internet, which is a real wildcard and has now become the World’s new Gutenberg Press.
And the Cabal’s policies of diversity, political correctness, and massive immigration (legal and illegal) is designed to over-utilize social services and healthcare systems and generate so much mass confusion and disorientation that it will paralyze American society while it is degraded and destroyed progressively right before our very eyes.
In order to roll-out this massive NWO Globalist Agenda, these folks, the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal, have created and lavishly financed numerous non-profit foundations, private think tanks and USG and Pentagon advisory councils which their crony corporations funnel billions of tax free dollars to. And these crony corporations have a special pipeline to access the elastic ever expanding Federal Reserve System’s FIAT money supply.
The Cabal has a pipeline to all the money they need to plan and execute this NWO Globalist Agenda by funneling vast amounts of money to members of the US Congress as campaign contributions. And the US Congress always spends as much as it wants, far in excess to tax revenues collected and provides lavish contracts to the special interest groups and crony corporations anointed by the Cabal. We now know for certain that the US Congress is completely compromised by Cabal money.
This doesn’t matter because the USG just borrows more imaginary counterfeit money from the Federal Reserve System which places no limits on how much money they are willing to create and loan at pernicious interest to the American People.
This money “lent” to the USG just keeps accruing as increases to the so-called US National Debt in principal and interest. this of course is the biggest financial fraud in history and is a very sophisticated, well-concealed flim-flam scam.
The American tax collections are used to pay the ever increasing interest that accrues as the US National Debt, but never anything on the principal of this phony, fraudulent Bernie Madoff type Ponzi scheme loan which is completely debasing the value of the US Dollar.
And make no mistake about it, these large crony corporations are functioning as special interest groups that lobby Congress, and back it up with huge campaign funding and hidden perks. This results in these crony corporations having a continual stream of special interest legislation that provides them with a continuing stream of fat USG contracts and lavishly profitable business opportunities denied to everyone else.
These fat contracts also provide the vast amounts of money to and to keep these think-tanks and private foundations well financed so they can hire all the strategists and planners they need to effectively implement the Globalist’s NWO Agenda.
ISISOIL1
Exxon and BP buy the oil which keeps ISIS et all with plenty of money and also props up the oil derivatives of the largest Wall Street banks. Putin and the Russian Federation is bringing this to a screeching halt. Is that why the Federal Reserve System is having a special meeting Monday November 23, 2015?
American political leaders are supposed to represent We The People, but instead they are owned by the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal and serve their Evil Agenda. These Globalist NWO Cabalists have have infiltrated, hijacked and perverted Congress, the Administration, the Judiciary and all Federal Law Enforcement only because of their vast money power and their willingness to persecute and murder so many whistle-blowers and dissidents.
Right now this evil Cabal’s spell on America is being broken by President Putin and the Russian Federation.Not only has Putin and the Russian Federation completely checkmated ISIS in Syria but has fully exposed those nations who started it, trained its mercenaries, supply it and support it financially. The nations involved in creating this synthetic terrorism are Israel, America, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and some mother members of NATO.
End of the hegemony of the Petrodollar system?
Are Putin and his allies and friends now putting a sudden end of the hegemony of the Petrodollar system?
This war in Syria being fought by the synthetically created phony Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/Al Nusra/Al CIA Duh) is nothing but a proxy war of the Globalist NWO Crime Cabals Cutouts, and all done to protect the Oil Producers who use the US Petro Dollar, to prop up the US Petro Dollar and to help attain the Globalist NWO Evil Agenda to destroy every nation of the World including Syria, Iran, Europe and then America.
We now know for sure that George Soros, a Cabal Puppet admitted financing much of the travel of the sea of Mideast refugees into Europe and stated that is purpose was to get rid of the European nations borders. In only a couple of weeks we see European nations facing what now seems to be an imminent destruction of their language, culture and borders by this refugee invasion.
And strangely many of their leaders are so mind-kontrolled they claim that the refugee’s culture and ways are superior to their own citizens. You can bet these traitors to their own nations drank the cabal’s kool-aide.
ISIS17
Engineered synthetic terror at its worst. This is the worst combination of mass mind-kontrol and paid mercenaries ever conceived. And all created, trained, supplied, paid and deployed by the Israeli-American Terror Machine with help by the Saudis and the Turks and of course the Gladio Left-behind Army embedded in NATO.
So we have a situation where the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal creates synthetic terror (ISIS, etc.) to mass-murder and displace residents of Syria and other Mideast nations and then provide transportation money to migrate to Europe. pretty crafty and such can be easily used as cover for some mind-kontrolled savant terrorists.
If only we had such a brilliant statesman as our President. As the Cabal’s spell is broken, you can bet the day is coming when many Americans will be fighting back for real, especially when the US Petro Dollar crashes and ceases to be the World’s Reserve Currency which seems imminent to many experts.
It should be obvious to all who are reading this article by now that the only way to stop this multi-modal attack on the American society, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, our basic Rule of Law and everything We The People believe our nation should be, is to strike the enemy at its head, at the top policy-maker and controller level.
This means declare the Federal Reserve System part of a RICO Crime Syndicate, declare it null and void, seize all its assets and claw back everything it stole from America all the way back to 1913 including all personal assets of the various Directors and their families who inherited such takings. And best of all designate the USG as the sole Constitutional creator and issuer of real Constitutional money once again and make sure that such is done.
Conclusion:
When the Citizens of a nation feel like strangers in their own country this means in practical terms is that their nation and has been stolen from them and the government no longer serves them but only those who stole it.
Hundreds of researchers over the last 100 years have made huge sacrifices, many gave their lives in this battle to uncover the truth and make it available to the American People. Only recently has this crucial information about who has infiltrated and hijacked America, its government and institutions is emerging and diffusing across American Society for the first time.
The actual mechanisms of such diffusion of this critical knowledge is the Worldwide Internet, the World’s New Gutenberg Press, and by word of mouth. It is no longer normative to suppress this information that friends, family and associates share about what has happened and who is responsible just because the USG and the Cabal’s CMMM say it is verboten.
As the ability of the CMMM to suppress this knowledge forbidden by the Globalist NWO Crime Cabal weakens and is near collapse, more and more Americans are waking up and finally understanding how their country and its government and institutions have been stolen from them and by whom.
More and more folks everyday are beginning to see and understand that American Political system is broken and serves a deviant elite that has stolen it and their nation from them. As more and more of the American People come to understand these Globalist NWO perps have hijacked the USG and the American Institutions, and have been able to manipulate them to serve only themselves, anger grows exponentially in short order.
As their whole censorship system continues to break down the Globalist NWO Criminal Cabal is left with only increasingly desperate options such a staging more 9-11-01 Gladio-style synthetic terror attacks, a major new war, or economic hardship as  covering incidents. It may be however that the Cabal has already lost enough control to be able to do this any more.
Everyday more and more Americans are finding out that all wars and destruction and mass-death is caused by the Banksters of the Globalist NWO crime Cabal.
As Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation recently said, “If a dog bites you, don’t worry about the dog, but go after the dog’s owner!” This is exactly what needs to be done to take America back from those who infiltrated and hijacked America in 1913 through covertly capturing our money creation and distribution system.
Fortunately most of the rest of the World has now figured out this Federal Reserve System private central banking scam run out of the City of London has Worldwide tentacles and is now building an effective financial firewall against the US Petro Dollar. Between the efforts of the BRICS, the Silk Road AIIB Banking System and the new Chinese “Swift-type” money-wire system, it is only a matter of time and the US Petro Dollar will cease to function as the World’s Reserve currency.

State-of-the-art Russian Federation air power is decimating ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/Al Nusra and Al CIA Duh. Many are now fleeing for their lives, shocked that the once invincible and unassailable is now falling from supremacy like a rock in a pond.
This will doom the City of London Banksters and although it will bring a traumatic period of reset to America, it will finally create the complete demise of the City of London Banksters and cutoff the money and power of the Globalist NWO crime Cabal known as the Khazarian Mafia.
Without money for bribes and payoffs to run Congress and to run their think-tanks and private tax exempt foundations, these Traitors who staff them who are functioning as soulless mercenaries of the KM will scatter to the wind and will no longer serve a crushed, defeated Globalist NWO Cabal anymore.
And of course now with Russian Federation air power now decimating all the oil tankers transporting stolen Syrian oil to sell to keep the largest Wall Street Banks afloat by propping up their vast Oil Derivatives, the largest Wall Street Banks who serve the Globalist NWO Cabal, aka the Khazarian Mafia will likely fail.
