Brits Donate Ammunition to ISIS

Brits Donate Ammunition to ISIS http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3682655/87-000-stolen-British-bullets-hands-jihadis-cache-ammunition-stolen-Army-training-camp.html  87,000 stolen British bullets 'are in the hands of IS jihadis' after cache of ammunition is stolen from an Army training camp      A huge cache of ammunition has been stolen from a British Army camp     The 87,000 5.56 bullets were taken from the camp in the Middle East     Thieves cut a hole in the fence and towed away the container of bullets     The theft happened in March as troops took part in large-scale exercises By Charlotte Wace And Mark Nicol For The Mail On Sunday Published: 08:52 EST, 10 July 2016 | Updated: 11:02 EST, 10 July 2016 A huge cache of ammunition has been stolen from a British Army training camp in the Middle East – and is now feared to be in the hands of Islamic State. A Mail on Sunday investigation has discovered the haul of 87,000 5.56 bullets – enough to equip three infantry regiments – was taken from under the noses of UK troops during a desert exercise in Jordan. Military sources have told this newspaper that the thieves – possibly acting on the orders of IS – cut a hole in the perimeter fence of an ammunition compound, drove a lorry inside, and towed away the container in which the bullets were stored. The theft happened in March while 1,600 British troops were taking part in Exercise Shamal Storm – a series of large-scale desert manoeuvres also involving American and Jordanian soldiers. The Mail on Sunday understands that the ammunition was not guarded around the clock but that British military vehicles regularly passed the compound. It is believed the thieves watched UK soldiers for several days and timed their raid to avoid the patrols. Crack SAS troops tried to recover the container when it was noticed it had gone missing – but their efforts were in vain.  [comment:  this is bullsh*t ... they're equipping ISIS] The incident is thought to be the largest theft of British military equipment for decades. Last night, a member of the Defence Select Committee demanded an urgent inquiry into how the deadly haul was removed from the training area near the coastal city of Aqaba, where troops also set up a field hospital and practised dealing with chemical and biological weapons threats. The camp was close to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, parts of which are lawless and occupied by IS-affiliated terrorists who have threatened to attack holiday resorts in the region, such as Sharm el-Sheikh, which is visited by thousands of British tourists every year. The theft raises the chilling prospect that UK holidaymakers could be shot dead by terrorists using British Army ammunition. While Jordan is a staunch UK ally, it is home to around 10,000 jihadis. Reports indicate that IS has weapons capable of firing the stolen bullets. The terror group already has in its possession tens of thousands of US-made rifles, which use the same size Nato ammunition, and which it seized from the Iraqi army. Last night, Conservative MP Richard Benyon, a member of the Commons Defence Select Committee, said: 'This is a very serious matter that I intend to raise immediately with the committee and the Ministry of Defence to find out what has happened. I hope the Army will learn from any mistakes made and ensure that never again will our ammunition fall into the wrong hands.' Terrorism expert Michael Burleigh described the security lapse as 'extraordinary', adding: 'This is a very dangerous situation. It is entirely possible that this ammunition could fall into the hands of illegal weapons dealers and find its way to extremist rebel groups, including Islamic State.' An investigation by the Royal Military Police cleared UK troops of being involved in the theft. The case has now been handed to Jordanian police. Details of the theft were uncovered by The Mail on Sunday using a Freedom of Information request. Last night, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'The Army takes the security of ammunition very seriously and has robust procedures to prevent losses and thefts. All thefts are rigorously investigated with civilian police forces.'

Our soaring arms deals in the region include £15million in sales over the past five years to embattled Libya, large parts of which are already controlled by the vicious terror group. Anti-arms trade campaigners say our ability to stop the weapons falling into the wrong hands once they are sold to Arab and African governments is failing as the jihadi network spreads. Arms deals with foreign buyers – brokered by civil servants and approved by the Government – have created a deadly business that means nearly two-thirds of UK weapons exports go to the battled-scarred Middle East, critics say. Fighter jets, assault rifles, bombs, bullets and night-vision goggles are being sold to despots and dictators at an increasing rate, they warn, despite acute ­instability in the region. Britain’s annual £8.5billion weapons exports include bomb-making equipment sold to Libya that could fall into the hands of ISIS. There are fears the terror network could overrun the North African nation next year. Other countries in the region buying British arms may be controversial for other reasons. Campaigners argue that Israel has used many Western weapons against ­Palestinians. And Turkey is engaged in conflict with Iraqi and Syrian Kurds, who we have treated as allies. In Muslim North Africa there are similar human rights worries. Algeria’s £278million worth of weaponry from the UK includes night sights for snipers and components for guns. But our biggest trade is with Saudi Arabia, which spent £3.9billion on arms during the Tory-led government between 2010 and 2015. In that cache are fighter jets, bomb components, explosives, armoured cars, ammo and grenades. Spooks say Saudi Sunnis have armed ISIS and al-Qaeda to support war against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and bolster against Iran – both Shia enemies of Sunni extremism. Figures show Britain’s weapons trade with the Middle East is increasing, with the region taking 61% of British arms exports, up 6% last year. At the centre of it is the UK Trade and Investment Defence and Security Organisation – 130 civil servants whose job it is to promote arms sales. A Freedom of Information request revealed UKTIDSO met as many as five times with representatives of just one Middle Eastern country at arms fairs this year. The UK hosts two large trade events: the Security and Policing Fair, for internal security equipment, and the Farnborough International Airshow, which promotes fighter jets. The news comes as ISIS unveiled a chilling new map of Europe as it plans for world domination by 2020. Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade said: “Arms fairs and backroom deals strengthen the UK’s ties to dictatorships and cement the government’s role as a global arms dealer. “The government may talk about human rights, but it’s hypocritical when some of its civil servants directly promote arms sales to some of the most oppressive regimes in the world.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/scandal-britains-6bn-arms-deals-6225129 COMMENT It looks like they're arming ISIS, through official means (ie the arms sales to the Middle Eastern dictatorships, who then equip their proxies) as well as by unofficial means ... like the claimed 'losses'.

Croatia has a f*cking nerve.  Croatia, the CIA puppet has been sending arms to Syrian terrorists multi-national Islamist terrorists sponsored by USA & Saudia f*cking Arabia, to destroy Syria.  Saudis Step Up Help for Rebels in Syria With Croatian Arms By C. J. CHIVERS and ERIC SCHMITT  FEB. 25, 2013 Saudi Arabia has financed a large purchase of infantry weapons from Croatia and quietly funneled them to antigovernment fighters in Syria in a drive to break the bloody stalemate that has allowed President Bashar al-Assad to cling to power, according to American and Western officials familiar with the purchases. The weapons began reaching rebels in December via shipments shuttled through Jordan, officials said, and have been a factor in the rebels’ small tactical gains this winter against the army and militias loyal to Mr. Assad. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/26/world/middleeast/in-shift-saudis-are-said-to-arm-rebels-in-syria.html?_r=0 Qatar 'playing with fire' as it funds Syrian Islamists in quest for global influence By Colin Freeman, Chief Foreign Correspondent 7:37PM BST 27 Apr 2013 EXTRACTS - various Qatar is better known for owning some of London's top landmarks, from Harrods in Knightsbridge through to the Shard and parts of Canary Wharf, through a £50bn sovereign wealth fund. Last month the fund paid £300 million for the five star Park Lane Intercontinental, and it also helped build No 1 Hyde Park, a £1 billion apartment block. Earlier this month, Qatar announced a £2bn aid package for Egypt, bolstering the Islamist-minded Muslim Brotherhood government that sent shockwaves through the region when it won power after the country's Arab Spring revolution. The Qatari intervention in Syria echoes its earlier involvement in Libya, where the rebellion - this time with the West's active support - overthrew the Gaddafi regime. There, too, secularists have accused Qatar of mostly helping rebels affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of its followers support Sharia law and only limited rights for women, and critics say its vision is a clue to the kind of society the Emir really seeks to promote. At home in Qatar, the Emir hosts the largest US military base in the Arab world, a strategic bulwark against Iran, but last year he also allowed the Afghan Taliban to open its first overseas bureau. That was established to enable peace negotiations with US officials, although any talks have now stalled. Doha is also one of the few Arab capitals to maintain reasonable relations with Iran, which seeks to be the pre-eminent power in the Gulf region.  Qatar has shares in Sainsburys, Barclays Bank, Heathrow Airport and the London Stock Exchange, among British companies, and has discussed with Downing Street investing up to £10bn into infrastructure projects.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/qatar/10022759/Qatar-playing-with-fire-as-it-funds-Syrian-Islamists-in-quest-for-global-influence.html Those Saudi, Qatari & Jordanian c*nts are responsible for this, along with the US and I'm going to guess, Israel.  Turkey's playing a role, as well.  And Britain.  Britain's owned by Qatar. How can Britain let foreigners own its landmarks? Russia, please nuke Europe now. Ummm ... I'm in a calmer state of freak-out, now. Hold the nukes, Putin.

US ally, Philippines, appears to engage in harassment and repression of unions and those that are politically active.  That would probably be standard practice for close friends of the US.  lol Britain has cameras in the countryside, while the FBI is infiltrating the likes of a hippy festival in Nevada.  Western values?  Freedom?  Oh, bullsh*t.  lol Free speech regarding the consequences (mass immigration) of the pursuit of the neocon US aligned corporate/imperialist agenda abroad, is harshly censored in Europe.  While there's a funny side to that Swiss guy's Facebook being blocked, this social media censorship is suppression of political comment, debate, and dissent ... in what's supposed to be a democracy, one presumes. Britain is pretending it doesn't want to be in the EU, for the sake of the rabble who don't.  But they've probably OK'd the German Ambassador's theatrical, 'Baby, Please Don't Go' performance. The US hypocrites and that awful Power woman are forever exploiting humanitarian, minority and feminist causes for political gain.  Meanwhile ... back in the United States .... (check out incarceration stats in America, the 'land of the free'). Nation states operate as handmaidens of corporations and the interests of corporations are put above all else ... but corporations:  well, corporations put PROFITS above all else.  Stuff the rabble back home.  Let them eat cake.  We're downsizing.  lol The Latin American and Italian scandal is a bit hard (for me) to follow in that article.  Don't have the patience with that one.  There'd be more articles regarding that, if anyone's into keeping track of dodgy Latin goings on.  lol ꕤ
