Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Easy Money

May 18, 2015 3:27 pm By Joseph Zaalishvili

isis-vehicles islamic stateEveryone is wondering how so many jihadists have appeared in the Middle East. Tens of thousands of mujahideen have come to a place where there is a war. Why is jihad recruitment going unnoticed? How and why do their movements remain invisible to law enforcement officials in many countries?

Maybe they are not invisible. Maybe they are business partners or sponsors of some high-ranking officials in the Middle East and not only in Middle East. And so the mujahideen remain invisible.
the next question that arises whence the Mujahideen take weapons and ammunition, as well as food for such a long war?

Weapons can be used for several years, but ammunition runs out quickly. Jihadists must buy ammunition and transport it up to the most important locations of the mujahideen, and to the fighting areas. In today’s world, when there are satellites and instruments for monitoring, it should be difficult to transport ammunition and missiles from one place to another. If you count the necessary quantities of ammunition that they would need every day, they would need a lot of vehicles to transport it. I’m not talking about the food, water and clothing for the mujahideen. Then there is the hardware of communication between the jihadists, sleeping bags and other items for the conduct of long-term warfare.

The Caucasus mujahideen brought ammunition from Russian military bases. Chechen businessmen bought them on Russian military bases from the same Russian generals against whom the mujahideen were fighting. Weapons and ammunition were supplied from Azerbaijan during the first jihad and the beginning of the second jihad in 1999 from Georgia also, through the Caucasus Mountains. The Chechens had to pay for weapons and ammunition and their delivery. Weapons were delivered by horse and by helicopter. In the mountain gorges it was difficult for the Russian air defense to notice a low-flying helicopter. An interesting fact is that the pilot, who was carrying a weapon in 1999 worked in law enforcement in Georgia. After the “Rose Revolution” in Georgia, he became the personal pilot of the presidential helicopter of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili (2003-2013).

In 1996, in Tbilisi, in Georgia, Chechen businessman billionaire Khodj-Ahmed Nukhaev created the “Caucasian common market” with the nephew of the president of Georgia. It also included Azerbaijan. Nukhaev was the representative of the Chechen Republic in Turkey. Through its foundations and organizations flowed millions of dollars to finance the jihad in the Caucasus. He had excellent connections in the governments of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. And through these Islamic countries he established excellent contacts in the West, both in the EU and in the United States. In Georgia, he helped local officials to go to suppliers of cheap oil in Iran and other countries of the Caspian Basin.

As you know, everyone connected with the president is the subject of a special investigation by law enforcement. How could a person associated with terrorists and arms trafficking pass such a test, if he did not have his people in these structures, and if the state does not support the same terrorists?

Where are these law enforcement officials now? Do they have connections with similar services in other countries, such as Turkey, Azerbaijan, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia, or in European countries and the United States? Do they reveal at formal or informal meetings that they had contacts with terrorists? Do they share information about this? Or do they just continue to earn “easy money” by death?

I do not know how this is in other countries, but in Georgia, many of those who were directly or indirectly linked to trade and ferrying weapons and mujahideen are again working in law enforcement. If they are not, their friends and colleagues are. Interestingly, the international coalition spends a lot of taxpayer money to fight the Islamic State and against terrorism. But on the other hand, countries that are considered to be supporters of the coalition employ in their power structures people who supplied weapons to terrorists.

Now the movement of the mujahideen to the Middle East continues. In the years 1994-96, to send a mujahid to Chechnya, Arab sponsors paid about $10,000. In fact, the whole journey cost no more than $1000-1200. That was 20 years ago, I think that now rates have risen. Law enforcement in Azerbaijan participated in this. They had contacts on the Russian side. Many of the wounded mujahideen were taken for treatment to Germany via Turkey.

Was that possible without the Turkish government?

If the president supports terrorists, what would that make an ordinary representative of law enforcement? Can Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood terrorists get Turkish citizenship? Can they use Turkish passports to travel around the world? Or will the Turkish government give them refugee status? Why would US ally Erdogan do this?

With such good connections, Islamic jihadists have no problem moving around Europe and the world: corrupt politicians, presidents, prime ministers, and law enforcement chiefs cover for them. Islamic lobbyists promote greater energy and transportation projects, control the price of oil, and are engaged in arms trafficking with corrupt politicians. They are trying to buy whole countries and their governments, while jihadists sow fear, frightening ordinary people by terrorist acts.

    is free enterprise such a sacred cow that these low lifes can do business around the world?…any person, company , organization selling anything (arms, cars, etc) to them should be driven out of business… permanently

    Yesss. I have been saying this, Europe knows what sharia is, Obama knows, still all them are playing dumb. This will lead to a major conflagration, a great opportunity to establish a NWO out of fear as justification.

      The so-called New World Order is actually sharia law. That’s what’s going on here. Or haven’t you figured that out yet? SUre, it’s easier to imagine a bunch of Alex Jones nutjob crap — it’s a lot more fun because it’s all fantasy –but that’s just distraction from what is real and factual and right in front of us all. The global jihad is all about imposing Sharia Law as the new world order. They make no secret of that and they seem to advance every day. And unlike the NWO stupidity, it is actually real.

      • cs says

        May 18, 2015 at 5:09 pm

        I would say it is a possible outcome. I am not sure what does lay ahead, but it is so obvious that sharia is absolutely despotic and the media tries so hard to cover it, it puzzles me, honestly.

    As the the recruitment for ISIS. Those who do go to join and fight for ISIS In their own warped,sick and deluded minds they actually feel that they doing the right thing. This brings back to my memory that back in the year of 1974 and was a person wearing as Tee-shirt that the vary false and outright outrageously foolish words printed on it The tee -shirt read “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as yous sincere.” What a absurd statement of folly. Many example of just how not only false but also wrong such words are.. Nevertheless , just one example shout be enough to exposes such falseness. It’s that the ISIS recruits in their deluded, warped, and sick way have “good intentions.” So it’s much more of a realistic statement, which applies to this subject , is the saying that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” This is much more in accord with both reality ,common sense and also the Bible, Proverbs 14:12

    Islam’s entire history is one of criminal activity, corruption, threats and murder for its advancement. In today’s world with all that oil money and the lack of political will which is added to a few decades of left-fascist delusion of “cultural equivalence” being pumped into the university education system, it is no wonder that jihad is starting the world on fire. And our so-called leaders who are corrupt and/or spineless cowards who hold up their hands when it comes to do anything effective against it — when we CERTAINLY could. In many cases, they are actively aiding and abetting this world-wide organized crime endeavor. It’s all about socking away the loot, maintaining a grip on power, and, in the US at least, turning a blind eye whenever possible to anything which might cause discomfort to the bankroll for Big Oil and the Military Industrial Complex.

      Do you are of course spot on
      In all my talk shows and in my published books I asserted that in the year 622 in Medina, Muhammad became the leader of the first Organized Crime Syndicate in human history.

      He started committed the shedding of a SEA of blood by ambushing, slaughtering, plundering, raping and enslaving his own Quraish tribe followed by other tribes in Arabia including the Christian & Judaized Arab tribes

      By the time of his death c.632AD there were no more tribes to plunder so his Muslim followers turned their attention outside the Arab Peninsula shedding an OCEAN of blood conquering, subjugating, plundering, raping, enslaving and destroying five civilizations on three continents

      There was NEVER an Islamic invasion because in reality this was and continues to be an ARAB invasion and Arab IMPERIALISM and has continued -as we watch ISIS and other Muslims everyday – operating as an Organized Crime Syndicate all over the world

      Under US law (RICO act) all Muslim entities can be treated as such: Organized Crime Syndicates

        Thank you for another interesting post IQ al Rassooli.

        What do you make of this video, that show that all of the Islamic narrative about Mohammed was invented much later for political reasons by Caliph Abd al-Malik ?

        “An Historical Critique of Islam’s Beginnings – Jay Smith” [72 mins]
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9lIuUjPs0

        If we debate about what Mohammed did or did not do then we fall into the trap laid by the Islamists. But if we point out the truth, that Islam and Mohammed are man-made fabrications from the late 7th – 10th Centuries then we can win, completely.

    Of course, all this conspiracy nutjob crap always ends up pointing a finger at “Jewish bankers” as the power behind it all. That’s where you’re always leading, isn’t it, Mac-101. Always trying to throw a line in the water, waiting for a bite, and then, when the time comes, the big reveal about “elders of zion” jewish bankers and probably reptilians thrown in. Right? Yes, that’s where you’re going. No matter how completely idiotic and retarded such things are, that’s where these conspiracies always end up — even when it comes to jihad.

    Meanwhile, no real conspiracy is required, as anybody with a brain can see that Middle East oil money is behind it all. Including holding power over US Big Oil and the US Military Industrial Complex who employ those armies of lobbyists in Washington, corrupting politicians wherever they can. There is no mystery here. No behind the scenes required. The corruption is basically all out front for everybody to see if they only want to look. And, inconveniently for conspiracy nutjobs, it’s all documentation possible and real. Which makes it a lot less “fun”.

      True, Don.

      May 19, 2015 at 12:28 pm

      I have to agree with you. I’ve read a million conspiracy theories and the only ones that make sense are the simple ones. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and others have huge amounts of oil money and they use it to further islam globally.

      To the ‘elites’ in these countries islam is just a system of control. It’s even better than Fascism, or Communism, because if you disobey, the state not only imprisons, tortures, and kills you, but you also burn in hell forever afterward. Islam is the total enslavement of mind, body, and soul. The imams control the populace while the sheiks control the imams. But while the little people are flogged, amputated, and terrorized, the ‘elites’ get to have alcohol, drugs, whores, cable TV and everything else forbidden to regular muslims. The muslim elites live however they want as long as they don’t publicly flout islam and satiate the islamic beast with petrodollars.

      The only difference in the last 20 yours is that OUR society has become so CORRUPT that no matter what your cause, if you have enough money, there will always be a think tank, lobbying group, or politician ready to sell out for a buck. In the past there was a limit to how close to TREASON a person would act against his own country (and countrymen) that seems to have recently blurred and finally vanished.

      Weather it’s Democrats wanting new minority voters, or Republicans catering to Big Oil and Military Industrial (Congressional) Complex, the end result is a never ending supply of American (and European) traitors, quislings, and sell outs willing to help islam murder us all for a buck.

      Like Don said, it’s all documented and easy to find out if anyone cared to look. Start with the Think Tanks, Lobbying Groups, Super PACs.

    “Everyone is wondering how so many jihadists have appeared in the Middle East.”

    Really? It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that’s where the birth of Islam is?

    And now a brief message from your government;

    “Go back to work human resources. There’s nothing to see here.”

    Easy Money indeed. What is fueling all of this is the Zakat of the faithful.

    “Zakat” is all too often translated as “charity”, but this is not really accurate. Zakat is anything that serves the spread of Islam, and this is much more likely to be the waging of violent Jihad than it is a clinic or disaster relief.

    And so, millions of “ordinary” Muslims are funding these vicious Jihadists.

    • Lioness says

      May 19, 2015 at 9:55 am

      Very very true. “Charity” translates into support for terror. The muslims are good at this, disguising jihad as charity work and concealing millions through convoluted transactions in different countries and banks. Also western governments contribute huge amounts to corrupt muslims governments that steal the money and divert it to terror. Just look at how the “Palestinian” leaders get rich; Arafat had Billions when he died, and Abbas is no different. All money from US tax payers and “charity” are funnelled into jihad. Obama doesn’t mind.

        All very true, Lioness.

    Easy money?!?…can’t get any easier than a stupid, racist government wasting
    25 billion over a decade arming and training coward troops who run….Isis will win and the sunnis
    Will be back in power as they should be in THEIR country….blame the idiot us citizens
    Who are too dumbed down to think, much less resist…..allah u akbar!!!!

      Actually, Sunnis are in the minority in Iraq—but then, the pious Sabri S. has no trouble with his fellow Sunnis oppressing, driving out, and butchering other-sect Muslims like the Shia, whom he no doubt considers heretics.

      Muslims have no concept of democracy and safeguards for the individual or for the minority.

      It is also clear that he has no problem with ISIS enslaving and mass-murdering Christians and Yazidis, who certainly haven’t been oppressing them as have the Shi’ites. But then, why would he object? There is nothing more Islamic than abusing and slaughtering vulnerable minorities.

      This is the vision the vile Sabri S. and his fellow Muslims have for the whole world—how horrifying.

    There is a youth bulge across the ME of about 100 million. Few real jobs, pressure on natural resources, insufficient water supply. The ME can export as much as it likes of its surplus population to the West in the certain knowledge that ever more are being churned out at home and that figure is expanding. The ME can easily use this surplus in its wars and never feel a lack.

    Life under Islam is cheap, nasty, brutish and short.
