Jamal Khashoggi, an Expendable Muslim Brotherhood Asset?
The way the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi has been covered by the American media (for whom Khashoggi worked–WAPO) should tell you all you need to know about the players. The Saudi Royal family has been split down the middle by a Reform wing and a conservative Wahabbi-Islamist wing since at least the Gulf War, the Saudi king since the Gulf War always having been of the reformist wing, including King Salmaan and his 38-year old son and named successor, Mohammed bin Salman, who many say is going too far with his reforms, especially about liberating women rights.
He is not a friend of the American press for the simple reason that Donald Trump seems to like him, and is the champion of many what once were lsacred iberal position of women’s rights
Jamal Khashoggi is/was on the other side of this equation, though not necessarily of the Wahabbi Islamic-tradition which co-founded Saudi Arabia in the 19th Century, and full-tithe recipient of Saudi oil revenue since oil was first pumped there in the 1930s. They are probably the richest church in the world, and been spending that money by sowing sharia law in the West for at least 30 years.
Khashoggi leaned more toward the Muslim Brotherhood, who had its origins in World War II as “Hitler’s Arabs” with a different view of absolute rule than the Wahhabbi’s. The Brotherhood had a lot of sway in Obama’s White House, and were central to his and Mrs Clinton’s catastrophic Arab Spring, which had caused a military junta to end up in charge in Egypt after an aborted attempt by the Brotherhood to turn that nation into a fascist theocracy, and turn Syria into a bloodbath. Remember when the late-John McCain called the Muslim Brotherhood there “moderate rebels”? The MB even had a role in the Benghazi murders of September, 2012, due in part to the Obama team’s action to protect the MB’s interests there[…]
The insanity continues. Neither Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will ever say the words Islamic terrorism or radical Islam yet both are will not think twice to accept political donations from foreign nations, many of whom would grind America into the ground if given the opportunity.
Is the Obama campaign financing itself through foreign money funneled in through a website owned by a private businessman, living in China, that uses the name Obama.com?
In 1997, we learned — too late — that the Clinton campaign had relied heavily on thinly disguised Chinese government money for much of its early blitz of issue ads in the 1996 election. The early intimations of funding fraud in the campaign (Al Gore’s exploits with the Buddhist monks) shaved off half of Clinton’s margin, cutting his lead from 14 to 7 points in the weeks before the election. But the full dimensions of the scandal were not apparent until then-Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) held hearings the following year revealing the depth of the campaign’s reliance on foreign money.
Now, in the last month of the 2012 race, Newsweek magazine has raised serious questions about Obama’s fundraising and its possible reliance on foreign donors and outright fraud to generate its funding.[…]

John, heard this second hand but more than once. Seems Erdogan faction is making substantial investments in U.S. to counter opposition (CHP, Kurds, Gulenists etc.) outreach to policymakers and USG. Am told that the Erdogan crew also tries to make inroads via donations to Democratic candidates, including yours. Two names that you should be aware of are *Mehmet Celebi* and *Ali Cinar*. Happy to elaborate on the phone, provided you are not shopping at the liquor store.
A Russian warship fired a warning shot at a Turkish ship in the Aegean Sea this morning, raising tensions further between the two nations.
Russian military ships during an exercise in the Pacific Ocean Russia said the shots were fired at a Turkish shipping vessel in order to avoid a collision. They said in a statement that the Turkish boat had approached to 600m. The Russian ship had been unable to make radio contact and the Turkish vessel did not respond to flares or visual signals. After the Russian “guard ship” Smetlivy fired warning shots, the Turkish ship […]
An RT news crew has been caught in a tear gas attack by Turkish police in Diyarbakir. Police responded as Kurds were protesting the killing of a prominent lawyer, Tahir Elci, shot dead by unidentified gunmen while giving a public speech on Saturday.
“We came into the city center of Diyarbakir just now,” said RT correspondent William Whiteman. “The whole city had been on lockdown over night after there were sounds of heavy automatic gunfire and there were a lot of explosions during the night.” He said the barricades in the city center were removed early on Monday morning and the RT crew tried to enter the center of Diyarbakir. They were looking to get to the spot where the lawyer Tahir Elci was shot[…]
Below is a video of a shootout that resulted in the death of Tahir Elçi, Chairman of Diyarbakır Bar Association shot and killed by PKK terrorists (screenshot at top of post).
…In the footage, Elçi, wearing a grey suit, is seen next to plain-clothed police officers and journalists as fire opened by terrorists in all three directions. As officers shoot to their left, Elçi is heard saying “what is this.” Seconds after, a man runs past the group hidden behind a light commercial vehicle, and police officers start shooting to the man. When the camera turns to the right, Elçi is seen lying on the ground….
Elçi, along with other lawyers, was in the area to give a press release against ongoing clashes between security forces and PKK terrorists in the area….
The news is coming fast and furious out of Syria on Tuesday where, earlier today, Turkey decided to shoot down a Russian Su-24 which Ankara says violated its airspace while conducting operations near the border.
Russia says the fighter jet was in Syrian airspace for the duration of the mission while Turkey insists that the plane crossed the border and was warned several times before being engaged by two F-16s.
For his part, Vladimir Putin has now called Turkey a “backstabber” on the way to accusing Ankara of funding ISIS and derailing the war on terror.
Meanwhile, the FSA which is aligned with al-Nusra and is backed and funded by the US and Turkey released two videos depicting its fighters celebrating over the body of a dead Russian pilot. …
Translation: DHA Muhabirinin Deputy Commander of the 2nd Coastal Divisions met Turkmen Alpaslan Steel: we shot down two of the pilots back parachute (Note: Damla Doğan, author of the above tweet is a CNN Foreign Editor in Turkey.)
Below is video footage as provided by the Turkish news agency, Anadolu Ajansi of the plume of smoke from the downed Russian bomber plane and at 00:16 of the video, you see the parachuters.
In the following video posted by the Free Syrian Army one witnesses Barack Obama’s moderate rebels celebrating over the body of one of the parachuters followed by a second video of what is clearly an act of war, i.e., the parachuters being shot down.
Turkey believes the two pilots are still alive and is working to secure their release from Syrian rebels, a Turkish government official told Reuters news agency.
“Our units, who received the information that the two pilots were alive, are working to get them from opposition rebels safely,” the official said.

12:47 Russian helicopter destroyed?In what appears to be a separate incident, another Syrian rebel group – the Free Syrian Army’s First Coastal Division – says it has hit a Russia helicopter on Turkmen Mountain, using a TOW anti-tank missile, writes Louisa Loveluck, Middle East reporter. Pro-regime media outlets appear to have confirmed the report, suggesting that a Russian helicopter has been forced to make an emergency landing in government-controlled Latakia. It was previously reported that Russian helicopters were trying to access the location where the first fighter bomber had crashed. If the strike is confirmed, the TOW missile was most likely supplied through the same US and Turkey-backed logistics programme that has reportedly been supplying Alwiya al-Ashar. The rebels’ usage of these American-made TOW missiles has increased over 800 per cent since Russia began air strikes against them at the end of September, slowing regime offensives across the country by destroying dozens of tanks and other armoured vehicles. …
We would like the entire world to know that we will take all necessary measures and make any sacrifices when it comes to the lives and dignity of our citizens and for the security of our borders while our country is in a circle of fire….
Let’s put out the fire in Syria…Our message is clear for the Syrian regime forces, terrorist organizations or other foreign forces that are involved in pouring fire over Bayirbucak Turkmens, Aleppo Arabs or Azaz Arabs, Kurds or Turkmens, instead of putting out the fire in Syria.
While carrying out effective counter-terrorism we are aware that the prerequisite for counter-terrorism is the growing up of young generations within peace and their love for each other…
Because of the events that have unfolded, Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister today cancelled a planned visit to Turkey and has called on Russians not to visit the country.
