Look, here it is, in Reuters: Quote:Islamic State militants have made more than $500 million trading oil with significant volumes sold to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and some finding its way to Turkey, a senior U.S. Treasury official said on Thursday. Because, yanno, US government officials would never lie! http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-usa-oil-idUSKBN0TT2O120151210 -SIGNY And you know this How, exactly!? Let me see, a blanket statement that governments lie - Quelle surprise! SGG How do I know this? Because, among other things, it is presented ENTIRELY WITHOUT EVIDENCE. You, like G, KPO, and THUGR, don't even have the good sense to notice when you're dealing with 'allegation" versus "evidence". Now, I have read reports and seen pictures posted by others - aside from Russia- which details the number of oil tankers trucks going from Syria and Iraq to Turkey. The reporters have calculated the amount of oil, followed it to Turkish refiners and to Turkish ports, and watched ship-to-ship transfers offshore etc. There is nothing like that in this article which, internally, doesn't even make sense. Here, let me analyze the article for you. Quote:Islamic State militants have made more than $500 million trading oil with significant volumes sold to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and some finding its way to Turkey, a senior U.S. Treasury official said on Thursday. Okay then. As it stand, this is a bald, and somewhat garbled, allegation. An accusation with NO PROOF. First of all, how does he know the value of the oil being sold? He would have to know both the volume and the prices of the various markets that its being sold into. That would require deep knowledge of Syrian state finances, Turkish finances, and other prices on the illegal market - information that I doubt that he has. But, taking his statement at face value, and assuming a 50% (or more) discount from legal per barrel prices... If illegal oil is being sold at $20 a barrel (or less) that means 250,000,000 (or more) barrels of oil sold, or 131,000 (or more) tanker trucks of standard USA size (about 8000 gallons) 11,000 (or more) tanker trucks a month 370 (or more) tanker trucks a day That's a lot of tanker trucks! That would be visible by drone, or even by satellite! Where are they all going? "SOME" is going to Turkey. A "SIGNIFICANT VOLUME" is supposedly going to the Syria government Now, there are a few things to think about: 1) Where is THE REST going? The statement, in its face, doesn't account for what seems to be a rather large remainder. 2) How is the oil supposedly transported to Syrian government-controlled areas? There are only two paths that the oil can follow ... (a) either out of ISIL-controlled Syria thru a neighboring country (which one? Iraq? Turkey?) and back in thru port, which would reveal a significant line of trucks going out, and ships coming in, or (b) directly into Syrian government-controlled territory, again, creating a significant line of trucks from ISIL territory into Damascus or other areas. And if not trucks... if pipeline ... don't they know where the oil is coming from and going to? With all of this oil-traffic supposedly going into government-controlled territory, don't you find it strange that there are no photos of roadways and trucks, no coordinates of pumping stations and pipelines, or ANY OTHER evidence presented in favor of this allegation? ALSO, don't you find it strange that the USA and its "partners" have somehow NOT NOTICED this oil traffic until JUST NOW? Not targeted it at any time in the previous 14 months of bombing??? Quote:The United States, France, Britain and Russia have vowed to defeat Islamic State, which uses an extreme interpretation of Islam to justify attacks and brutality in large parts of Syria and Iraq that it controls. Uh huh. What does this have to do with oil, especially oil to government-controlled Syria? Quote:A U.S.-led coalition is bombing the hardline Sunni group, as is Assad's only big-power supporter Russia, in an attempt to kill its leaders and cripple the oil wells which the group uses to finance its rule and attacks abroad. Uh huh. The USA didn't start bombing ISIL's oil assets until Russia helpfully point them out in several forums such as the G20 and UN. Quote:In one of the most detailed public explanations of Islamic State's oil trade, U.S. Treasury Department official Adam Szubin The same person that you have faith will stop terror financing networks Quote: said militants were selling as much as $40 million a month of oil at the installations which was then spirited on trucks across the battlelines of the Syrian civil war and sometimes further. And again, he just noticed this now. And has no evidence for his characterization of where the oil is going. Allegation, no proof. Quote:"ISIL is selling a great deal of oil to the Assad regime," Szubin, acting under secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence with the Treasury, told an audience at Chatham House in London. Once again, a bald statement with no proof. Quote:"The two are trying to slaughter each other and they are still engaged in millions and millions of dollars of trade," Szubin said of Assad's government and Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. More bald statements, with no proof. Quote:The "far greater amount" of Islamic State oil ends up under Assad's control while some is consumed internally in Islamic State-controlled areas. Some ends up in Kurdish regions and some in Turkey, he said. More bald statements, with no proof. Quote:"Some is coming across the border into Turkey," Szubin said when asked for details on the money trail. More bald statements, with no proof. Quote:"Our sense is that ISIL is taking its profits basically at the wellhead That is an impossibility. ISIL still has to sell the oil somewhere in order to realize that profit Quote: and so while you do have ISIL oil ending up in a variety of different places that's not really the pressure we want when it comes to stemming the flow of funding - it really comes down to taking down their infrastructure," In other words, bomb the oil wells, so that if the Syrian government retakes the oil-producing regions, it will have a big rebuilding job to do. (My speculation is that the USA is afraid that the Syrian government WILL prevail, and therefore is setting the stage for a "scorched earth" retreat. But that's just speculation so far. And I doubt they will be successful since Russia has basically just said they will shoot ANY unfriendly plane out of the sky.) Quote:Szubin said it was unclear whether the $40 million a month estimate could be multiplied over a year. But in remarks prepared for delivery, he said Islamic State had made more than $500 million from the oil trade, but did not give a more specific time period. Szubin is behaving like a guy who really wants a permanent appointment: he's saying exactly what his boss wants him to say. Quote:After Turkey downed a Russian fighter jet last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had intelligence that large amounts of oil and petroleum products were moving across the border from Islamic State territories to Turkey. The son of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has denied Russian allegations that he and his family were profiting from the illegal smuggling of oil from Islamic State-held territory. "There is no question that better security, closing the Turkish border to flows is a key component right now and we are looking to the Turks to do more in that respect," Szubin said. "It's not just a financial issue - it is about foreign terrorist flows, it's about weapons and it's about financing. I think securing that border would pay major dividends in terms of intensifying the pressure and also reducing the threat." Here, he seems to be intent on saving Recep Erdogan's son, Balil, from being linked to terrorist oil flows. So while he acknowledges that the Turkish border allows fighters and weapons to flow into ISIL-controlled Syria and stolen antiquities, opium, and (been said) human transplant organs to flow OUT of ISIL-controlled areas, this activity all magically stops with oil. Uh huh. Quote:In an attempt to cut militants' links to the global financial system, Szubin said the United States had worked with Iraq to close down dozens of bank branches in Islamic State-held territories. Szubin said militants had looted up to $1 billion from bank vaults in Syria and Iraq, but he said Islamic State's oil trade was the main target. Because somehow $1 billion is less important than $500 million. The rest is just other stuff, interesting but not relevant. Basically, the article is just one long propaganda piece for which the USA has not even bothered to cook up the faintest shred of evidence, published on the well-founded faith that most readers will swallow the article whole. -------------- You can't build a nation with bombs. You can't create a society with guns.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: SGG I've been witness to facts never showing up in US news, and facts which were 'disappeared' out of the news. When I lived much closer to Canada I would get my international news from CBC radio in addition to US sources, so I had a good opportunity to 'compare and contrast'. At the time the US was not reporting anything about Angola, though it was reported daily by CBC, which characterized it as a 'war', and included news about US involvement. It turns out the CBC was accurate, and US news - not at all. Historians and former diplomats who have studied the documents say they show conclusively that the United States intervened in Angola weeks before the arrival of any Cubans, not afterward as Washington claimed. Moreover, though a connection between Washington and South Africa, which was then ruled by a white government under the apartheid policy, was strongly denied at the time, the documents appear to demonstrate their broad collaboration. ''When the United States decided to launch the covert intervention, in June and July, not only were there no Cubans in Angola, but the U.S. government and the C.I.A. were not even thinking about any Cuban presence in Angola,'' said Piero Gleijeses, a history professor at Johns Hopkins University, who used the Freedom of Information Act to uncover the documents. Similarly, cables of the time have now been published by the National Security Archive, a private research group. ''If you look at the C.I.A. reports which were done at the time, the Cubans were totally out of the picture,'' Dr. Gleijeses said. But in reports presented to the Senate in December 1975, ''what you find is really nothing less than the rewriting of history.'' Cuba eventually poured 50,000 troops into Angola in support of a Marxist independence group, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola. The group held the capital in the months just before independence from Portugal, declared in August 1975. But Dr. Gleijeses's research shows that the Cuban intervention came in response to a C.I.A.-financed covert invasion via neighboring Zaire, now known as Congo, and South Africa's simultaneous drive on the capital, using troops who posed as Western mercenaries. In another instance of news not showing up, there was a major power surge. It knocked radio and tv stations off the air for days, fried hospital and bank computers ... and also life-support equipment in intensive care units - that I PERSONALLY know of. You see, despite the fact that it affected a million people (going by the locations of the broadcasters that were silent), it was never reported, so I couldn't tell you the full extent of the event. And, back in the days of pappy Bush and Iraq war part uno, as I was driving in to work I heard the tally of the vote of the Arab States to let the US in. I was only half-paying attention so the tally went past me. But it was SO startling I wanted to get the numbers. But after that broadcast they were nowhere to be found, no matter how hard I searched.

Quote:The Party of Regions parliamentary faction said on Sunday it laid responsibility for the situation in Ukraine and the resulting fatalities on Viktor Yanukovych and his team. "Now Ukraine is living through one of the most difficult and tragic periods in its history," the faction said in a statement. "The country finds itself deceived and robbed, but even this is nothing in comparison with the grief that dozens of Ukrainian families, who have lost their relatives, are feeling. Ukraine has been betrayed. Viktor Yanukovych and his team are responsible for this." "We, the Party of Regions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and our party members, strongly condemn the criminal orders that led to human losses, to the depletion of the state treasury and the drastic debt increase that shamed the government in the eyes of Ukrainians and the rest of the world. As a result, our country found itself on the edge of a precipice, faced the threat of break-up and loss of national sovereignty. The president failed to heed our advise when it was given to him," the Party of Regions says. ... "We condemn the cowardly flight of Viktor Yanukovych. We condemn the betrayal on his part. We condemn the criminal orders, which exposed common people, soldiers and officers to certain risks"

Quote:the sudden and illegal seizure of a state,usually [but not always- SIGNY] instigated by a small group of the existing government establishment to depose the established regime and replace it with a new ruling body. A coup d'état is considered successful when the usurpers establish their dominance. If a coup fails, a civil war may ensue.
Quote:A quick and decisive extra-legal seizure of governmental power by a relatively small but highly organized group of political or military leaders, typically by means of the unexpected arrest or assassination of the incumbent chief executive and his principal supporters within the government. For the coup to be successful, the rank and file of the police and military have to be willing to take orders from the new government leaders once the coup is accomplished, so typically the organizers of successful coups have previously recruited important military and police commanders to their cause prior to going ahead with it. Most frequently, coups are initiated and led by high-ranking military officers. They are most apt to be successful in countries where both the general population's and the government bureaucracy's ideological dedication to upholding established constitutional procedures is relatively weak and consequently there is little danger of massive civilian resistance or non-cooperation by the rank and file of soldiers and other government employees.
