Jim and Gordie on Kurdish Oil Feb 9 2016

[ Note:
Seeing can help in believing. We will try to keep these morning Sitreps
(situation reports) coming with the map work included as that is how we
routinely do it as these kinds of briefings are usually done with
battlefield maps. Without the being able to have a good handle on the
geography, text and audio reports only really work for people already
intimately familiar with the geography.
A lot of the lying we
see by various government and corporate media platform are taking
advantage of the public’s not being able to follow the tactical and
strategic battlefield situations in both Syria and Iraq.
The most recent example
was a PressTV top story news show I did this morning where Erdogan
actually accused the Russian of “occupying” parts of Syria. I am sure
this came as a shock to Assad, the government, and the Syrian army. No
one has challenged until today that only Russia marines are the major
ground component, but tied down to base protection.
Russian trainers and
advisers are in the field helping with communications intercepts and
keeping a close eye on correct targeting and confirmation of what is
happening on the ground. And yes, there will be Russian special forces
are the ground, as at least a half dozens Western countries have, as
they are always present in these conflicts, in uniform or which ever one
works best based on where they are operating.
Erdogan is panicking as
he is watching his supply network being torn down in northwest Syria
which will blunt his projection of power. It will also bring the day
closer when the Syrian refugees in Turkey can start coming back to that
area, which of course would be happening during the 18 month negotiation
window.
Whose political
fortunes are going to rise as that happens?…the opposition’s”?… ISIL,
Turkey, the US and the Saudis?…or Assad’s? The former had planned to
keep holding these long held areas of Syria during the talks for
leverage, and have the option of beginning military action if they
wanted.
Lavrov tipped the
Russian hand a week ago when he said that there must be a controlled
cessation of the flow of fighter, weapons and ammo for any ceasefire to
be effective. What we are seeing is the conditions to achieve that being
constructed on the ground, as part of a well though out counter
terrorism campaign, to defeat them rather than fight them forever. And
now we see the backers of the terrorist showing their hand quite openly,
which is just wonderful… Jim W. Dean ]

The infographic below was released by Alalam in Iran,
outlining another view of what is going on, another view based on error.
Similar maps come out of the Institute for the Study of War, the
“Kagan/Noodleman” propaganda circus.There is a big secret, not the only one, there are so many, starting with General Petraeus and the real roots of ISIS, his assignment to empty Iraq’s prisons of the worst, pour money into them, the Sunni extremists, divide Iraq and prepare for war with Iran.
This is where ISIS comes from, the mind of Dick Cheney, the idiocy of Petraeus and the Kagan family tha brought us the war with Russia that has been unfolding in Europe beginning with Ukraine.
Now Europe is on her knees, Poland now a Nazi dictatorship, Turkey blackmailing the EU with an endless flood of refugees and terrorists, ready to bring Europe to her knees. If you don’t think Turkish intelligence isn’t responsible for seeding ISIS elements into the refugee mix, giving them passports, setting them up with asylum, furnishing them with apartments and weapons, cars and credit cards, you are not paying attention.
Fools and cowards.

ISIS oil routes into Turkey, that
the Russians presented so much evidence of, all go through Kurdish
controlled regions. Now that Turkey has moved thousands of troops into
the region, sending Iraq to the UN for help, all done with Kurdish
treachery, we have taken a closer look at who is really responsible for
funding ISIS.
America says Assad is the ISIS oil partner. We say it is the Kurds along with Erdogan and we stand ready to prove it.
The maps tell a story of a continuous
Kurdish controlled area that covers more than 70% of all stolen oil, all
moved directly through Kurdish lines in areas where there is no ISIS
presence. Turkey is currently inside Iraq building a new and highly
illegal air base in the middle of the oil smuggling zone, all done with
the full cooperation of the Kurdish Barzani regime in Erbil.
The Syrian and
Iraqi borders with Turkey from Western Syria to the Iranian Border, the
areas of most oil smuggling, are not only fully Kurdish controlled and
where Turkey has invaded, but it is also where US Special Forces units
have entered Syria illegally as well, right in the middle of the ISIS
oil convoy area, according to Russian satellite intelligence published
for the world last week.
According to our sources who live in this
region, it is totally “combat free,” a safe-zone for smuggling arms one
way and oil the other, quite a different story than the ones the media
tell us.
