The rise of ISIS/ISIL over the last few months has seen FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) levels soaring across many parts of the world. There are many aspects of this entity that seem wrong just at a gut instinct level. Despite the risk of being labelled a crazy conspiracy, it behooves the interested researcher to delve deeper into this ISIS phenomenon and the violent form of terrorism they are publicizing. One interesting perspective is provided in this well detailed article from the Vigilant Citizen.

An ISIS conspiracy with ties to ancient Egypt?

Basically, in the span of a few months, a terrorist group literally popped out of nowhere, causing mayhem in the very regions the US and its allies have been looking to attack for years. Its name: Islamic State in Syria, or ISIS. The name itself is symbolic and revealing. Why is an “Islamic” group named after an Ancient Egyptian goddess? Perhaps because it is a favorite figure of the occult elite – the true culprits that are behind the horrors of ISIS.

The recent rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria/Levant (ISIS/ISIL) has been fueled by the amount of money they’ve been able to loot (from the Iraqi Central Bank in Mosul), the weapons they’ve taken from the Iraqi armed forces and the amount of money they generate through captured resources. Their “net worth” is estimated to be $2 billion and the captured resources – mostly oil and possibly this year’s wheat crop – yields them another $1.2 million per day in illicit revenues. The oil is most interesting as it being smuggled into Jordan, Iran, Turkey and by some estimates finding its way into Europe. There seems to always be a market for oil, regardless of how tainted it may be from the spilled blood of innocents, as long as the price the right. The Guardian delves into this puzzling intersection of brutal terrorism and opportunistic mercantilism.
