HISTORY FOR SALE:

The Islamic State (ISIL, ISIS or Daesh) jihadist group generates up to $200 million in annual profits from around 100,000 cultural objects it controls in Iraq and Syria selling them through the Turkish city of Gaziantep, the Russian permanent representative to the UN said in a letter to the UN Security Council presidency.

“The main centre for the smuggling of cultural heritage items is the Turkish city of Gaziantep, where the stolen goods are sold at illegal auctions and then through a network of antique shops and at the local market,” Vitaly Churkin’s letter states.

Excavations at and transportation from around 4,500 archaeological sites, nine of which are in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List, are permitted only to those in possession of a stamp and signature from the department, according to the letter.

He affirmed that around 100,000 of the world’s archeological sites are under the grip of ISIS, 9 of which are classified within the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.

A new trove of documents, obtained by an RT Documentary crew who recently uncovered details of illicit ISIS oil business with Turkey, sheds light on jihadists’ lucrative trade of looted antiquities along their well-established oil and weapons transit routes.

There is no official accounting that would illustrate the true scale of looting being undertaken in Syria, a land once rich with cultural treasures. However, there is no doubt that since radical Islamists established a foothold in the region under raging civil war, pieces of the world’s global heritage have ended up in the hands of terrorists.

Along with oil smuggling, a lucrative trade in antiquities has become ISIS’s source of income to support its devastating operations, many of which leveled unique historic sites such as Palmyra. Artifacts, some worth thousands of dollars apiece, have been turning up in antique markets from eastern Europe to the US.

Following the exposure of the details of the ISIS oil business, RT has exclusively obtained additional evidence that sheds light on the jihadists’ black market of plundered treasures and its transit routes via Turkey.

Daesh gangs have reduced Iraq’s oldest Christian monastery to a field of rubble

The mercenary-terrorists (in the pockets of CIA-Mossad agencies), after looting the site, have reduced Iraq’s oldest Christian monastery to a field of rubble, in the northern city of Mosul . The compound had survived assaults by nature and men over the past 1,400 years during which it was used by generations of monks. Daesh has already destroyed and looted a number of ancient sites across Iraq and Syria. The U.N. says the terrorists have heavily looted at least one fifth of Iraq’s nearly ten-thousand artifacts in the past months, to raise cash on the Western black market and delete all types of human culture and historical memory. Curiously, this strategy seems very similar to that of another group in the Middle East, known to regard himself as the “chosen” and the rest of humanity as “talking animals”…

(submitted by ‘The Old Sniper’ for WarPress.info on 8/1/2016)

~~~’The Old Sniper’~~~”Once the true story of the Captivity and the Arabian origin of the Israelite tribe are exposed, the whole Zionist project could crumble under the power of the historical truth.
A body of high profile anthropologists and historians trace the Israelite tribe back to their Arabian origin in Northen Yemen. One of their amazing evidence-based findings is that Jerusalem is originally called Dar Salam/ safe house that is located near mountain Zion in Northern Yemen.
Among those tribes were the Israelites (thieves and thugs from the very beginning)”.

~~~Dr. Ashraf Ezzat~~~ “The Zionist paradigm is founded on the distorted story of the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt and their persecution by the Assyrians and Captivity by Babylonians. But the truth is that the Israelites never set foot in Egypt or Palestine. Actually they never left Ancient Arabia and North Yemen, their origin land, before the Babylonian Captivity”

The so called Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has started losing ground.
Judging by the latest Advances of Syrian and Iraqi forces, it seems that the days of ISIL are numbered (even if they held on to their captured territories for another year or two)

Actually nobody doubted that ISIL wouldn’t last for long.
Of course it will take many decades before the people (especially in the Middle East) forget about the havoc ISIL wreaked. While cold-blooded killing and beheading is going to be the core of their legacy, looting and destruction of the ancient Iraqi artifacts and museums is definitely will be one of their key achievements.

Everything will slowly get back to normal long after ISIL has been completely crushed. The land will be liberated, the people will return to their homes and native land. One thing will remain irrevocably destroyed and lost; Iraqi and Syrian ancient heritage and history.

L’inaugurazione della mostra fotografica organizzata da Solidarité Identités e dalla Comunità siriana in Italia è stata un successo: più di centocinquanta persone hanno partecipato, nella splendida cornice della Basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin, al dibattito “Libertà o terrorismo” che ha dato il via all’esposizione sul patrimonio archeologico siriano.

Le immagini, allestite con il patrocinio del Ministero del Turismo siriano, vogliono porre l’accento su un aspetto che sistematicamente viene ignorato: a causa di una guerra inconcepibile ed inaccettabile si sta realizzando la più grande distruzione, mai avvenuta al tempo d’oggi, di un patrimonio storico, artistico e archeologico senza eguali.
