There is much to say about this.
Below is the Russian language video we had translated and subtitled this morning along with a series of links to other videos and articles which seem to point to a Turkish and NATO and US connection to the Islamic State, its actions, its weapons and funding.
This is a very upsetting set of data points if one accepts the most likely conclusion from them
. Thank you Gates of Vienna and D@rLin|{ for helping get this done so quickly, and to Xanthippa that worked on this project as well.

Seven links on Turkey, Russia and the Islamic State
1. Turkey feels that Russia should appologize for having its jet and rescue copter shot down and its pilots killed by Turkey and Turkish agents
2. I am not at liberty to say where I got the following bit of information at the moment but it is a source I know and I hope to have an interview with the source soon.
Meanwhile, the text below is verbatim from my email:
a message to me:
Xxxxxxxx, Turkish MIT & CIA have been working together for a few years. There is an entire warehouse full of weapons in Adana that belongs to the U.S. Consulate.
I’ll try to arrange an interview with someone that worked there.
3. In the article that was written in the spring, and which the Turkish government took down and only today, arrested the journalists who wrote it, (who may face life in prison now) the basic story ran that Erdogan was using the Turkish secret service to run large amounts of weapons and ordnance to the Islamic State fighters known as Turkmen.
Here is an article on who they are as related to the downing of the Russian jet and rescue heli
Syria’s Turkmen: who they are, and what they have to do with Russia’s downed plane
After Turkish forces shot down a Russian Su-24 warplane on the Turkey-Syria border on Tuesday morning, disturbing reports emerged that members of a Syrian rebel group claimed to have killed the Russian pilots as they descended with parachutes after ejecting from their destroyed plane.
“Both of the pilots were retrieved dead. Our comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air,” Alpaslan Celik, a rebel commander, told Reuters.
To understand why Celik’s rebels would even claim to do this, you need to know a little bit about who they are. These rebels aren’t part of Syria’s Arab majority: They’re Turkmen, an ethnically Turkish minority in Syria that plays a unique role in the Syrian conflict — one that may have had something to do with the downing of Russia’s aircraft in the first place.

6. Putin recommends tourism to Turkey ends from Russia
7. Turkey accuses Russia of slander as Moscow has 39 businessmen arrested in wake of downed plane
Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan exchanged accusations of treachery and slander on Thursday, as the diplomatic fall out of Turkey shooting down a Russian warplane continued to mount.
The public recriminations came as Russia prepared to impose a swathe of punishing economic sanctions against Turkey, including abandoning a flagship pipeline project and a $20 billion nuclear power deal.
A Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian SU-24 bomber as it carried out a mission against rebel fighters near the Syrian-Turkish border on Tuesday morning. Turkey claims the Russian aircraft violated its airspace, while Russian officials say the shooting down happened over Syrian territory.

NATO member Turkey shoots down Russian jet
Dear USA:
I get that you are afraid of large scale black rioting if you impeach Obama and remove him from office. But I would ask you to weigh the costs of that against his engineering a military loss to the Islamic State or to Russia or a nuclear exchange. Unthinkable? Ask yourselves if I had said 9 years ago that we would find ourselves where we are today if that was also unthinkable. We know that the ROE in every conflict under Obama against religious muslims either by design or by accident has guaranteed a loss. In Iraq, Afghanistan and now against the IS. The only battles the US won created space for the IS to assimilate such as Libya and in a way, Egypt.
Turkey shooting down a Russian fighter strikes me as a move designed to put major powers in between the Russians and the Islamic State. So the cost of impeachment of Barack Obama may be immeasurably lower than the cost of keeping him in for another year.
From the Independent:
Turkey has shot down a Russian military jet which it says violated its airspace near the Syrian border.
The Russian Defence Ministry and Turkish Presidency, quoted in Russian and Turkish media reports, have both described the plane as Russian, and video posted by the Haberturk TV station appeared to show the jet coming down in flames.
A military official, quoted by Turkey’s Dogan news agency, said the plane was shot down by Turkish F16s, and that the pilot was given prior warning.
Various reports described the plane as coming down in hostile Syrian territory, and the fate of the two pilots on board was unknown.

Thank you Tundra Tabloids, WTD., Oz-Rita, Wrath of Khan, and others who sent in material on this insane story.
There is currently disagreement on where the Russian aircraft was when it was shot down. But one thing is for sure. Whatever muslim filmed it, was delighted by it.

It still strikes me as interesting that we live in an age where there are often many more camera angles on real events than there are cameras used in movies of fictional versions of similar events.
Large number of Al-Azhar imams protest in front of Russian Embassy
A couple of things that should be known to give context to this video.
The chopped Santa hat seen in this video can only be worn by a person who is a graduate of the most prestigious institute of Islamic learning in the world by literally an order of magnitude. To paraphrase Stephen Coughlin on this, where Al_Azhar is #1, there is no number 2 and so on down to about 12 where the next one is. Al-Azhar is essentially Oxford, Yale, Harvard and the Vatican rolled into one.
So when you see a Santa-parae like this one protesting in front of the Russian embassy, presumably about the bombing of the Islamic State, it becomes rather more difficult to claim that the Islamic State is not truly Islamic. Now I do not speak Arabic so its possible that in fact they are protesting the treatment of lab animals or GMO foods in Russia, but I would wager that when Rita Malek gets back to me on this, they are protesting Russian expeditions against IS targets.
It is also possible that judging by the signage they are spinning it as Russia supporting Assad and that is killing muslims or whatnot. But that is onion paper at best as many islamic groups have already sent out instructions for muslims to start attacking targets in Russia as a response to bombing IS targets.

Islamisation of Europe: When will Russia react?
Original translation from PI-news.net by Carpe Diem
From PI News:
How long will Russia stand idle and watch how Western Europe is transferred into a predominantly Islamic-, nuclear-armed-, EU-totalitarian entity. Since Russia is not governed by dreamy ideologists but political realists, one may assume that the Kremlin is concerned about the consequences of the Islamization and totalitarianism in EU-Western Europe for the external security of Russia. Especially the following issues might concern Russian strategists:
(by C. Jahn)
1. The Islamization of EU-Western Europe is a threat to Russia
Despite a growing opposition movement in some Western European countries, like France and England, it can be expected that Western European governments will continue their previous politic of Islamization in an unaltered manner. Also in the future, they will get millions of Muslims into Europe, who will for their part continue the ‘Conquest from within’ and step by step extend their influence on power over politics, administration and the armed forces. Especially in Germany, with its feeble opposition, the government will push the Islamization forward with particular aggressiveness. Although it may take another three to four decades until Muslim minorities have become the majority in important Western European heartlands – in Belgium, Holland, vast parts of France, England, Germany, Austria – the Islamic influence on the political leadership in Western Europe will shortly be strong enough to make Russia and the former Eastern bloc remain the bulwark left against the spread of Sharia in Europe and the traditionally aggressive Islamic ideology of world conquest.
An Islamized Western Europe will inevitably come into a cultural-ideological conflict with Russia as well as the rather nationally oriented states of the former Eastern bloc unlikely to be Islamized over the medium term, especially Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. It has to be assumed that primarily the – opposition-less but highly influenced by Islam – country of Germany will incite especially loudly against Christian Russia but also other countries of the former Eastern Bloc. Merkel’s latest tirades against Russia and the undisguised hostility towards Hungary potentially address future agitation and front lines in Europe in advance. Continue Reading →
Two interesting and perhaps even related videos about Russian influence operations, the US president, and more.
This first one was recorded in 2009 right after the inauguration of president Obama with Andrey Fursov, who is a historian at the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
This one is from yesterday with Ezra Levant and an author who recently released a book on Soviet disinformation.
