Texas plumber's truck ends up in Syrian war

Pretty funny...

Texas City plumber's truck ends up in Syrian war - The Galveston County Daily News : News

TEXAS CITY — A local plumber is being flooded with phone calls — and some threats — after a picture of one of his old company vehicles being used by Islamist militants in Syria was posted on Twitter.

The picture was posted online by the Islamic extremist brigade Ansar al-Deen Front, according to a CBS News report. It shows a black pick-up truck with a Mark-1 Plumbing decal on the door and an anti-aircraft gun in the bed.

Houston, Texas is so mobbed-up with the CIA, Semitic corporations, and petroleum companies it's not even funny.

I frequently drive past Haliburton world headquarters on Beltway 8 and wonder why no RPGs ever get lobbed into their glass windows.

I recognize that inspection sticker in the window as being from 2014. The registration sticker above it is also from 2014.

"Mark 1 Plumbing, We'll blast your drains clean!"

I was bored this morning, so I did some personal research on this funny incident. Here is the Twitter feed of this mercenary group "Ansar al-Deen":

جبهة أنصار الدين (@ansardeenfront) | Twitter

They look like a legitimate western-funded terrorist group fighting to overthrow Assad. They have the usual mix of crap weapons and clothing the CIA supplies to such groups. They have the mix of white and brown men you would expect from unemployable Muslim bums floating in from all over the world.

However, most of the photos in their twitter feed show them driving newish Toyotas down obviously Middle Eastern streets, not old, American-looking junkers.

I noticed a queer thing in this video on their YouTube channel. Here is video of an old Toyota Tacoma (which are only sold in North America BTW), in the * exact same location * as the "Plumber's Truck".

Note the position of the AA shells laying on the pavement compared to the "Plumber's Truck". I put a red arrow next to them:

That my friends is a staged photo-op. No way would two different trucks be leaking oil in the exact same spot during an actual battle so intense it was worth lighting off 42 Anti-Aircraft rounds that probably cost $50 per round.

Research things I don't have time for today:

Examine YouTube search results for "14.5 millimeter gun": 14.5 mm gun - YouTube

Search Google Maps for a pavement and building pattern on the Fort Hood tank firing ranges which match the video: Fort Hood, TX 76544 - Google Maps

Some say these images are from Fort Hood in central Texas. I don't think that is Fort Hood in the video. Last year I drove the farm roads that circle Fort Hood from Belton to Coperas Cove looking for rural land to buy. The soil and plants in the video look different from those around Kileen.

This is like one of those how many differences can you spot puzzles.

If you are married to the idea these are the same truck just photoshopped, well thats your call. But i can see so many minor differences that im convinved there are two different vehicles.
Its the same road, thats for sure, but two photos, one of each vehicle as it goes past

What? I never said that.

Perhaps you should read forum posts before replying to them.

My bad, i somehow read photo op as photoshop

So we have oil leaks on the road, most roads do. there is nothing to suggest two different trucks have leaked that oil.
Its the exact same road, so yes the oil stains are going to be consistant in both shots

As for lighting off some ammo, these guys will fire off guns at a wedding

The picture itself doesnt prove there was a battle going on, just that a gun was being fired, the video also doesnt show any sort of return fire, and the AA shells are already in the ground before he lets off a few rounds, i'm not even sure they are aa shells

That's the point. Some videos from these ISIS groups are genuine. Some videos are staged by U.S. intel agencies to influence public opinion.
