Images and video footage allegedly showing trucks belonging to Turkey's state intelligence service carrying weapons to rebels in Syria were published Friday in a Turkish daily.

The Turkish government has vehemently denied claims that it is arming rebels fighting in Syria and accused dozens of prosecutors, soldiers and security officers involved in searching the trucks of attempting to bring it down by suggesting it is doing so.

Earlier this month, Turkey arrested four prosecutors who ordered the search of the vehicles near the Syrian border in January 2014 and they are now in prison pending trial.

More than 30 security officers involved in the interception also face charges including military espionage and attempting to overthrow the government.

1. Turkey is also arming ISIS with American weapons

and we look the other way.

What is bizarre is that a vast number of Turks are Shia and if ISIS took over, they will be in danger.

3. I think the majority of Turks are Sunni

Most Muslims in Turkey are Sunnis forming about 72%, and Alevis of the Shia denomination, form about 25% of the Muslim population.[3] There is also a Twelver Shia community which represents 3% of the Muslim population respectively.[4][5]

4. 28% of 75 million is 22 million shias

That is what I was saying.

2. Little about the Turkish state makes sense on the surface. Byzantine is the word.

5. From what I have read previously,

it seems it is the Turks and the Saudis that are primarily backing the anti Assad rebels who are in fact jihadists and largely made up of former Sunnis who were displaced in Iraq after the Shia took over when Saddam was removed. That is also where the foundation of ISIS was created. Notice how we had never heard of ISIS until right after the Syrian false flag chemical weapons attack? Then all of a sudden they were big news. Those black trucks and fancy ninja outfits were paid for by the Saudis because they wanted the Assad regime gone. Just my two cents. I guess you could say the whole thing is a combination of different blowback from different conflicts, mostly US initiated or backed by US allies, unfortunately.
