revealing financing for ISIS is coming from 40 countries including G20 members,
begging the question “ISIS Who’s Your Daddy?”

Putin: ISIS Financed From 40 Countries, Including G20 Members
President Vladimir Putin says he’s
shared Russian intelligence data on ISIS financing with his G20 colleagues: the
terrorists appear to be financed from 40 countries, including some G20 member
states.
During the summit, “I
provided examples based on our data on the financing of different Islamic State
(IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) units by private individuals. This money, as we
have established, comes from 40 countries and, there are some of the G20
members among them,” Putin told the journalists.
Putin also spoke of the urgent need to curb the illegal oil
trade by IS.
“I’ve
shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade
in oil and petroleum products,” he said.
“The
motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that
from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon,”
Putin added, comparing the convoy to gas and oil pipeline systems….
“We really need support from the US, European nations, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran,” the president added….
“We
need to organize work specifically concentrated
on the prevention of terrorist attacks and tackling terrorism on a global
scale. We offered to cooperate [with the
US] in anti-IS efforts. Unfortunately, our
American partners refused. They just sent a written note and it says: ‘we reject your offer’,” Putin
said.
So the fact that the US has refused to work with Russia to
eradicate ISIS begs the question, why?
Why would the US, who proclaims to be fighting ISIS, refuse to work with
Russia and to share the US intelligence on the location of terrorists in
Syria?
It is worthwhile to start at the very beginning
to understand the evolution of ISIS. The
beginning is the illegal War in Iraq waged by U.S. President George W. Bush and
British Prime Minister Tony Blair. From a
March 14, 2015 article in Global Research:
Excerpt:
Iraq, the Ultimate War Crime: Erasing the History of Mesopotamia. The
Destruction of Nineveh
“The region of the world that the
ancient Greeks called Mesopotamia
(land between the rivers) … was a fount
of civilization – a veritable crucible … cradle, womb of cultural progress …
Here it was the first cities were born, writing began and the first codified legal
systems were established. Here, through such ancient lands as Sumer, Akkad,
Babylonia and Assyria that the vital cultural brew was stirred, the quite
remarkable concoction from which Western civilization would emerge…”
From the day of the US-UK invasion that “fructifying richness”,
societal, cultural, historic has been
systematically, deliberately erased in one of the most devastating, despotic,
desecrating, pulverizing cultural armageddons in history.
March 19th commemorates the twelfth
anniversary of the destruction of that “crucible”, it’s wonders still
unceasingly pillaged and destroyed.
When the National Museum was looted (10th - 12th April 2003) American
troops stood by – whilst their colleagues diligently guarded the Oil Ministry.
As some of antiquity’s most
sublime, wonders – fifteen thousand items – were looted, Donald Rumsfeld, demonstrably a cultural cretin, remarked: “stuff
happens.”
The US military were given co-ordinates of all Iraq’s museums,
monuments, archeological sites. “All of Iraq is an archeological treasure”,
remarked an archeologist at the time. Yet
the US troops led destruction’s way, creating a military base in Babylon
(dating from c 2,300 BC) site of the Hanging Gardens. Ancient miracles were bulldozed to build a military helicopter landing
pad.
They did the same next to the believed birthplace of Abraham, near
Ur’s great Ziggurat. Ur dates from 3,800 BC but is recorded in written history
from 26th century BC. War crimes of
enormity.
After George W. Bush declared a “Crusade”, the (literally)
crusading American soldiers entered predominately Muslim Iraq (as Afghanistan) WITH THOUSANDS OF GIVE-AWAY BIBLES,
yet were clearly supremely ignorant that
Babylon, as Ur, which they were
destroying was sacrosanct in the three Abrahamic religions. Babylon is
recorded in the Bible in the Books of Daniel, Isaiah and Jeremiah. Ur is recorded three times in Genesis and
in Nehemiah.
The US soldiers’ criminal vandalism resulted in: “Babylon being
rendered archeologically barren.” (Guardian, 8th June 2007.)
The: “courtyard of the 10th-century caravanserai* of Khan al-Raba was used for exploding captured weapons.
One blast demolished the ancient roofs and felled many of the walls. The place
is now a ruin.” Barbarians through the Ishtar Gate.
Destruction has continued across Iraq by both occupation forces and the unchecked gangs and factions
which flocked in with the invasion and due
to the feckless abandonment of border controls by the US and UK – countries
near paranoid about such controls on their own borders…
The absolute destruction of Mesopotamia, and wiping out the
history of civilization was just the beginning of the establishment of a “New
World Order” of thuggery.
A local source told Reuters valuables
were looted then the city razed to the ground. One entrance to this haunting place was guarded until last week by
human headed bulls and lions with hawk’s wings. These guardians prevailed through the region’s turmoils for nearly three thousand years, to be
destroyed with all they watched over by
terrorists spawned by Bush and Blair’s criminal invasion….
“It’s a crime against
Assyria, against Iraq, and against humanity.
Destroy the past, and you control the
future. The Nazis knew this, and the Khmer Rouge – and the Islamic State
clearly understand it too.”
Two days later another of the
world’s wonders, Hatra, was reported largely destroyed. Hatra was built circa
3rd or 2nd century BC, at the same time as the great Arab cities of Syria’s
Palmyra, Petra (“rose red city half as old as time”) in Jordan and Lebanon’s
Ba’albek. Hatra withstood repeated
attacks by the Roman Empire to be defeated by those spawned by Bush and Blair’s
actions…
The week before the destruction of Nimrud nearly 113,000 irreplaceable books and manuscripts in Mosul Library
were burned by IS savages in what Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO,
described as “CULTURAL CLEANSING”
and: “One of the most devastating
acts of destruction of library collections in human history.”(3) Some
items were on a UNESCO rarities list.
Set alight in a pyre outside the library included Syriac books printed in Iraq’s first
printing house; eighteenth century manuscripts; volumes from the Ottoman
era (1534-1704 and 1831-1920.) Irreplaceable
rarities – an astrolabe, an astronomical “computer” for calculating the
timing of the positions of the sun and the stars, used in classical antiquity and the Golden Age of Islam also destroyed, as
were superb sandglass creations.
Over a hundred personal libraries of notable families from Mosul held
“over the last century” were also incinerated.
The library was then blown up…
Burning books sounds familiar.
Iraq, as Palestine, is being erased, with Libya, Syria and even the
great pyramids of Egypt now threatened by the monsters Bush and Blair’s “Crusade”
has created.
The US, UK, Canada and other countries have “military
advisors” in Iraq. They are silent and
inactive on these war crimes of the new Mongols….
So how was ISIS created?
How are they funded and trained?
Where was the Genesis of ISIS?
Curiously, in in 2005, former
US Department of Justice lawyer, John Yoo, suggested that the US should go on
the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies CREATE
A FALSE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
IT COULD HAVE ITS OWN WEBSITES, RECRUITMENT CENTERS, TRAINING CAMPS, AND
FUNDRAISING OPERATIONS. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim
credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion … ”
So who is this Bush Administration Justice Department
lawyer, John Yoo and where is this man today? From Salon:
Excerpt:
John Yoo’s war crimes
Why is one of the central
perpetrators of a systematic torture regime teaching at Berkeley law school and
welcomed in our most respectable opinion venues?
…. As Jane Mayer reported two years
ago in The New Yorker — in which she quoted former Navy General Counsel Alberto
Mora as saying that “the memo espoused an
extreme and virtually unlimited theory of the extent of the President’s
Commander-in-Chief authority” — it was precisely Yoo’s torture-justifying theories, ultimately endorsed by Donald
Rumsfeld, that were communicated to Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the commander of both
Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib at the time of the most severe detainee abuses (the
ones that are known).
…. Comporting with long-held
stereotypes of two-bit tyrannies, we’re
now a country that literally exempts our highest political officials from the
rule of law, and have decided that there should be no consequences when they
commit serious felonies.
John Yoo’s Memorandum, as intended, directly led to — caused — a whole
series of war crimes at both Guantanamo and in Iraq. The reason such a relatively low-level DOJ official was
able to issue such influential and extraordinary opinions was because he was working directly with, and at the
behest of, the two most important legal officials in the administration: George Bush’s White House counsel, Alberto
Gonzales, and Dick Cheney’s counsel (and current Chief of Staff) David
Addington. Together, they deliberately
created and authorized a regime of torture and other brutal interrogation
methods that are, by all measures, very serious war crimes.
If writing memoranda authorizing
torture — actions which then directly lead to the systematic commission of
torture — doesn’t make one a war criminal in the U.S., what does? Here is what
John Yoo is and what he did…
Yoo wasn’t just a law professor
theorizing about the legalization of torture. He was a government official who, in concert with other government
officials, set out to enable a brutal and systematic torture regime, and did
so. If this level of depraved
criminality doesn’t remove one from the realm of respectability and mainstream
seriousness — if not result in war crimes prosecution — then nothing does.
Is that why the Obama Administration refuses to work with
Putin in eradicating ISIS? Is the U.S.
one of those 40 countries that is funding ISIS?
Did the U.S. Government take the advice of John Yoo and “have our
intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization, with its own
websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations?”
Is ISIS taking credit for the Paris terrorist attacks part
of John Yoo’s plan to “launch fake terrorist operations and claim
credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion ?” ISIS
