European Diplomat: EU Buys ISIS Oil

Finally someone has the tenacity to admit the truth. However, Europe isn't the only nation purchasing oil from disputed areas and conflict zones. After the EU lifted the embargo it placed on Syrian oil, it began purchasing and funding so called moderate elements inside the country in hopes of giving them financial support to win the war but, they lost the race.

Instead, a new coalition of rebels would unite and form what we now see as ISIL, backed and funded with dollars from European coffers and from black market enterprises.

So instead of fixing the problem by replacing the embargo back on Syria n oil exports, and or sanctioning countries involved in the illicit trade, they opt to unite a coalition to go in and disrupt and degrade ISIL.

So in other words keep the oil flowing at all costs, regardless of human life and tragedy.

What a plan...

Turkish news agency Anadolu also reported her words on the oil trade that brings millions of dollars a year to ISIS, by criticising Iran, Kurdistan and Turkey for being routes out of Iraq for Europe-bound oil tankers going by road. Other members of the committee, clearly concerned by her accusations pressed her for more details and which nations in Europe were engaging in the trade, but she would give no more detail.

Those ISIL arseholes are making up to 100,000,000 every week from oil sales,,.....it had to be going somewhere....and that kind of money don't move without international banking collusion either!
This charade is getting all too predictable.....

I been thinking about this. We have heard of ISIS capturing wells and selling oil.

Is there any actual footage of this occurring? Surely there were pitched battles trying to wrest control away from American protected companies that run the oil resources there.

Surely pitched battles would have set the places on fire and maybe disabled them. Yet we hear that they captured them in tact? Wheres the video of ISiS running oil infrastructure? They dance atop every other damn thing they capture, shooting up in the air and driving around in circles. Where are the caravans of tanker trucks with gun toting hooded figures atop them?

My guess is this is what is portrayed and saying ISIS is selling oil is a load of propaganda designed like all the other humanitarian, barbarian, American Interest crap they are selling to convince everyone Syria needs to be bombed.

Other members stated that this ISIS would be used to justify invading Syria and everyone was right. It has yet to begin but CNN announced that could start any time.

The oil continues, will continue to flow despite anything that happens there.

Nice work seems like all the back handed deals are paying off. Can you still call it buying oil if you are part of the isil regime. Ain't it then more or less just getting your share of the investment made earlier?

I was thinking about that yesterday, ISIL's vast wealth. Last I heard that had a couple of billion dollars, so where the hell is that being stored? You want to destabilize them? Take their money. Without it, they are weak. It's not rocket surgery.

Their money are in the same bank all the other dirty money is you know, the cia, drug cartels, mafia est. in the reserve bank. Take it away? Are you crazy? Do you know how much money the bankers make off those investments? a reply to: Swills

When the wealth of certain Royal Families derives primarily from forcing the Chinese to be opium addicts.....anything that follows just gets even more anti human......these money mongers are simply destroying any chance mankind has for a margin of profit......The really BIG money has old long established roots in the elite.....be it criminally or legally accrued...

a reply to: Swills
Perhaps that's why they captured the bank in Mosul.

More evidence ISIS is covertly supported by the West.

According to The Interpreter there was a privately funded (non-government) black operation where Russian mercenaries were hired to retake oil fields. They were told that they would be guarding them, but when they arrived in Syria it was one of many broken promises, and they were expected to push the rebels out of them with inferior equipment.

So I think it is pretty well established that many important resources have fallen out of Syrian government hands... but of course selling and producing it might be a whole different story.

a reply to: Ridhya

Thank you for that article. I scanned it to find any mention of oil…

It details the investigation that uncovered the existence of Russian mercenaries defending sensitive installations important to the Assad government in Syria.

Unless I am mistaken thats about it as far as what they were guarding for the Syrians. Not sure abut the valid it of the site either they sam to be anti Russian to a degree.

The news is that the group known as ISIS is controlling oil infrastructure in Iraq, not Syria. I don't know for sure either because like you said and I'll repeat, how they ship it is another matter. The northeastern part of Iraq where supposedly they are reaping oil profits is landlocked. Oil moves from there by pipeline to the sea in southern Iraq and onto tankers. Unless ISIS also controls the pumping facilities, the pipelines and the tankers it is hard to fathom how they are reaping millions or billions(?) from that.

Thanks for your reply. By the way I am sure the Russians are in Syria as at least advisors. This has been true of every little war that has been fought like Korea and Vietnam, Cuba, Nicaragua, etc, etc.

You scanned it? Read the entire thing. It explicitly mentions oil fields. Its all a very interesting read and worth it.

It also shows that there are not Russians in Syria, even as advisors. The Russians evacuated their navy base. While yes it could just be a claim, they genuinely do not want to get bogged down in a middle east war. They'd rather send weapons to government forces. The Russians in this case were NOT approved by the FSB, if you'd read the article, they all got arrested on return to Russia!!

There are allegedly Iranian Takavar and Lebanese Hezbollah guys there, and supposedly the Syrian army's casualties dropped significantly since Hezbollah arrived.

a reply to: Ridhya

They'd rather send weapons to government forces.

And advisors to train them to use them.

Thats one way we know. Ours are there, too.
They aren't really hiding it.

Hell, McCain was there "talking" to the rebels?

Wished you had brought the content in the article that mentions oil specifically, I can't find it.

a reply to: intrptr
Sure thing

However, it appears that the oil fields that the Russians were supposed to be guarding were in rebel control, and the team was really tasked with getting them back.

As they told the Slavonic Corps troops, the job came down to maintaining control over the centre of the oil industry, in the town of Deir ez-Zor

They set off to protect the oil fields, but when they arrived it turned out that they needed to recapture those fields

a reply to: Ridhya

Ahh, thank you. Ye that is the official line. Their funding is from the "oil fields" rather than Saudi Arabia and the west.

And the fighting to "capture and retake" the facilities without damaging them? Where is the video?

The western media would be eating that up?
