Lotho Says Break the ISIS Banks

Just now Anonymous goes after ISIS Twitter connections and claims to have taken over about 5000 of them.  I don't have an immediate citation but can pull it back up again if there is any disbelief.

That type of offensive we can condone because it may be effective and it does not result in dead people.  It may annoy the CIA but they don't do anything anyway and they're still flat on the faces after the fail in France.


The other is to go after the money.  We're told a great deal of ISIS money has been confiscated but it couldn't have been too much as they operate with impunity and there never seems to be a shortage of white Toyota pickup trucks for them.  No doubt Toyota didn't deliver them but, sure as hell, someone did as the only passenger vehicle the Middle East ever created was a seat for a camel.

The same applies to their weapons as the general premise has been they stole them from the retreating Iraqi Army.  Perhaps but there's little to no publicity on the matter.  Any time there's no publicity on an obvious question, it demands further investigation.


Most of all, the confiscation of ISIS funds has been vague as well.  Putin has offered the claim of the involvement of forty nations in subsidizing ISIS.  There's the risk of vilifying a nation for the actions of a few and it seems there is difficulty in determining how the money gets from these nations to anywhere near the battlefields in Iraq and Syria.

Difficulty?  For the most powerful nation on the planet?

Note:  we're not interested in CIA excuses as we have heard too many already and they're always used to cover up their own incompetence.


Putin also mentioned the convoys of tanker trucks going across into Turkey to keep the oil trade alive, albeit illegally, and provide financing for ISIS activities.  This is such an obvious target we're amazed no-one has blown that road into sand dunes.  The road is undoubtedly being also used for transportation of food and other vital supplies into Syria and elsewhere but using the same road for ISIS money flow makes it a valid military target.

Apparently neither US nor Russia has bombed that.  Why not.


Lotho is right on-target with his suggestion of show me the money and the response is met with vagueness.  That's not acceptable when the money is crucial to any military effort by ISIS.  Anonymous is right on-target as well by cutting off their computer connections.  Make them use carrier pigeons and see how far their battle flies.
