The U.S. government and the manufacturers of the pickup trucks continue to play dumb as to how Islamic State continues to get brand new U.S. and Japanese made vehicles.
Now there are reports that Russian and Syrian intelligence agents have estimated that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supplied 22-thousand 5-hundred new vehicles for DAIISH, along with Qatar supplying 32-thousand, United Arab Emirates supplied 11-thousand 650 and Jordan supplied 4-thousand 5-hundred vehicles. They also estimate that DAIISH has at least 60-thousand U.S. and Japanese made vehicles, many converted into gun-trucks!
But wait there’s more! The vehicles weren’t bought with cash, but on a huge line of credit, possibly through Saudi Arabian British Bank (SABB, aka Saudi British Bank)!

Germany’s state run DWTV has published numerous How To guides for immigrants flooding into Europe, under the heading Germany Guide for Refugees. Numerous stat counts have revealed that the majority of war “refugees” are actually illegal immigrant workers.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel swears taxes will not be raised to cover the skyrocketing costs of dealing with immigrants!
As an example of German hypocrisy, I was born in Germany (No my parents were not in the U.S. military!), I have a ‘souvenir’ birth certificate from the state of Bayern (my parents were living in Rottenbauer at the time), yet, under current German laws I cannot immigrate back to Germany using the ‘souvenir’ birth certificate.
Why is this important? In early 1996 one of my co-workers at KYMA in Yuma, Arizona, and I decided to take a day trip to Mexicali, Mexico. My co-worker looks like a ‘Mexican’ yet when we walked back across the U.S. border the Border Patrol asked him only “Where were you born?”, he replied “Phoenix.” they let him through (at this time you did not need documentation to cross the U.S.-Mexican border). The Border Patrol asked me the same question, but when I told them I was born in Germany they held me up! They demanded to see my state issued birth certificate, which I do not have (I have a U.S. Department of State FS 240 notice of birth) and nobody in the U.S. carries it around on them anyway, and we began arguing. They refused to accept my Arizona driver’s license as ID! Mexicans waiting to walk into the U.S. began backing away, wide eyed at the fact the U.S. Border Patrol was refusing an obvious Gringo from entering the U.S. Finally I pulled my Army National Guard ID and the Border Patrol let me in! Yes, this ‘immigration’ thing really pisses me off because it has directly impacted me, more than once!
“The sides confirmed that Saudi Arabia and Russia have similar goals concerning Syria. First of all, they are to prevent a terrorist caliphate from getting the upper hand in Syria.”-Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia

The Defense Minister for the north African country of Tunisia, Farhat Horchani, reports they’ve noticed at least 250 U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH (Islamic State, DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]) have fled from Syria to their home countries of Tunisia and Libya. Horchani also stated that they are arresting the Tunis DAIISH as they return from Syria.
U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli insurgents have refused an offer by the United Nations to hold peace talks! The insurgents are protesting the successful Russian airstrikes!

“Our monetary policies do present paths that are very different. I would say fundamentally diverging paths for the future.”-Mario Draghi, European Central Bank, 10 October 2015
“The capital market in the EU is relatively less developed compared with the U.S.A… ….we must manage our European common house, not only on the basis of national interests, but by adopting a systemic, common vision.”-Pier Carlo Padoan, Minister of Economy and Finances of Italy, 09 October 2015

The impotent Egypt based Arab League is warning “Foreign military intervention in Syria, whether by Russia or the West, will neither help resolve the conflict there nor eradicate terrorist organizations” but then added “We must save this vitally important Arab country from collapse, division and chaos”. Now you know why they’re impotent, they talk out of both sides of their mouth at the same time.
Taxpayer funded British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reports that an unnamed but “well placed Saudi government official” confirmed that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will increase weapon supplies to the insurgents in Syria.
More proof U.S. led NATO Turkey is not serious about fighting U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH (Islamic State, DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]). A man from Turkey volunteered to fight for the YPG against DAIISH. He was recently killed in battle and now the president of Turkey has banned his body from being returned to his family in Turkey, even threatening Turkish governors of provinces along the border with Rojava, Syria!
More proof Turkey is not fighting DAIISH; the Syrian government accuses Turkey of using DAIISH to dismantle Syrian factories and transport them back to Turkey! In the governorates of Aleppo, Idlib, Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, Hasaka, and Qamishli, DAIISH and other insurgents have been paid by U.S. led NATO Turkey to deliver Syrian industrial products, as well as the equipment used to make them, into the hands of Turks.

I don’t recall any warnings given to locals when the U.S. Navy bombs them back to the stone age with U.S. cruise missiles. By the way, Iran and Iraq gave Russia permission to fly the cruise missiles through their airspace, so there was warning!]…They’ve come within a few miles of one of our unmanned aerial vehicles [“A few miles”? Ohhh I scared! What Ashton Carter is really saying is that Syrian airspace is U.S.-NATO airspace.] They’ve initiated a joint ground offensive with the Syrian regime [Bullshit! Even the Syrian government says there are no Russian combat ground forces taking part in joint ground ops, but that if necessary they will ask for such help from Russia, because the U.S. can’t be trusted.]….This will have consequences for Russia itself.
