PUTIN
WAS RIGHT AGAIN: US Official Confirms ISIS Oil Crossing Into Turkey
10
December, 2015
WASHINGTON —
On December 4th Amos
Hochstein,
the United
States special envoy and coordinator for the State Department‘s
Bureau of Energy Resources, confirmed some of the suspicions that
have arisen in regards to how and where the oil for sale by The
Islamic State (IS) is going.
In
a statement made to the French news organization, Agence
France-Presse, Hochstein
confirmed ISIS oil is in fact crossing the Turkish border as if it
were already a known fact.
He
then proceeded to tout the success of US bombing operations,
attributing their effectiveness to the decreased oil output from
captured Iraqi and Syrian oil fields.
Hochstein claims “oil
being smuggled is extremely low and has decreased over time and is of
no significance from a volume perspective — both volume of oil and
volume of revenue.”
“Someone’s
buying that oil that ISIS is selling.”
The
State Department apparently considers low oil sales to (by their own
estimate) be anywhere between 1
and 1.5 million dollars a day. Some
news agencies place the
estimate as
high as 2 million, while Russian
media claims it may
even exceed 8 million.
These
funds may appear small in the larger picture of international oil
sales (although we can assume the US government estimate is
intentionally low), but for a terror organization to be recipients of
that kind of revenue is
unprecedented.
When
we take into account the operating costs of past “terror threats”
the picture changes. Even Al Qaeda (by US
intelligence estimates)
had a peak operating budget of $30 million annually leading up to the
attacks on September 11th 2001.
The
confirmation comes amid accusations by Russia that Turkey is
a primary consumer of
the black market oil.
The
dead journalist that exposed Turkey was a US citizen. Wondering why
the media refuses to cover her story? So are we.
Turkey’s
alleged collusion has yet to be proven to the full extent Russia
claims. Yet after the accusations were made, a Russian
bomber was shot down by Turkish fighter jets over an
alleged airspace violation, proof of increasing
tension between
the fair weather friends.
Vladimir
Putin issued a statement after the incident declaring he would
make sure Turkey “will regret” their aggression and announced
