veteranstoday--2020-12-20--December 18, 2020:  A Warning to Americans, an Intel Drop

VT personnel give private intelligence briefings that include information that most often can only be hinted at in publication .
Today we put as much accurate data in front of the public as possible but fearing that it may well be too late .
We have overwhelming evidence of a Russian attempt to destroy the US using Donald Trump and those around him , particularly those who are vocally calling for military intervention or congressional rebellion .
In March 2016 , we stumbled over one of what we know to be many efforts to penetrate the the US for what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Toward this end , Russia made a 180 degree switch from supporting activism and civil rights in the US to aligning with right wing extremists , Christian “ nationalists ” and groups like Oath Keepers , the NRA and the varying police cults , militias and the GOP .
We believe that many GOP political leaders who switched from hating Donald Trump to supporting him are working for Russia and that their views and statements are reflected daily in the writings in Russia Today and Sputnik News .
Behind this , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and control Americans working for Russia .
Remind you , VT has been long accused of being pro-Russian for allowing South Front to publish its videos and for featuring uncensored news from Syria and the Middle East .
The DOJ has been in nearly constant contact with VT over these issues now .
That said , we wonder how they miss the real threat ?
Is it accidental ?
Back in 2016 , we were approached to organize a veterans organization of both Russian and American former military .
The approach came from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former 3 star general .
To head that organization , Russia sought to have two people , Gordon Duff and General Michael Flynn .
Secret discussions with a high ranking source included frightening information on Michael Flynn related to a visit he made to Russia in 2015 to a gala sponsored by RT .
Because of this information , we chose to pass on this opportunity , believing it may well have been a way of exploiting us to provide cover for something extremely nefarious and dangerous to the United States .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this approach was one of many , that included/includes attempts to penetrate our cyber security community , possibly through Israeli partner companies that are deeply penetrated by KGB/FSB types .
Similarly , in Ukraine , we believe that efforts there , help in the 2016 election , investigations of Hunter Biden , arms deals with extremists , in actuality were cover for espionage operations by Russia against the United States .
https : //time.com/5572821/donald-trump-russia-contacts/ We were interviewed for many many hours by Mueller investigators that ended up sharing their conclusions which totally support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not going to delve into for reasons of national security .
We have very strong reasons to believe that the 30 oligarchs from Russia who relocated to Israel during Trump ’ s 4 years have been taking advantage of the powerful Israel lobby along with AIPAC and the ADL and other groups , working in concert with Turkish and Saudi intelligence , and partnered with Trump insiders to destroy the US .
This “ magic 30 ” represents the financiers behind Trump and act as his controllers .
They are more powerful than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is only a taste of the vast amount of intelligence we have .
Other questions are simply “ why ?
” Why destroy the US , militarily , financially ?
Was COVID a part of this , whether the virus is manmade or not , it was certainly enabled by Trump who we now know pushed a secret program of herd immunity which destroyed the economy and has thus far killed 310,000 Americans with another 100,000 dying as we speak .
Herd immunity has been pushed through the Russian press and those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threatened or even removed from government by Trump and his handlers .
We believe “ herd immunity , ” which has destroyed Sweden , was secretly pushed on America , as we can now prove , by Russian agents backing Trump .
It goes further , so much further .
Worst of all is the recent hack , staged only short weeks after America ’ s cyber security chief was fired by Trump .
The Russian hack targeted our nuclear security agencies , putting our nuclear arsenal at risk .
We now know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failing to respond .
The hack went on for 9 months , according to the Daily Mail who reported today that Russia fully accessed our nuclear stockpile .
Making it all possible were the hedge fund managers who placed foreign intelligence officers in key positions , often as CTO/CEO of every cyber security company in the US .
This is easily verified .
From the DM , the extent of what is known thus far , but we will never know how far it really went .
• Suspected Russian hackers also got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Targets include Los Alamos National Laboratory , which conducts the government ’ s most sensitive and advanced nuclear research • Evidence of the attack was also found in the networks of the Office of Secure Transportation which is responsible for moving nuclear materials • Another breach might have probed how to disrupt the national power grid • Officials warn the hack is on an unprecedented scale and poses ‘ grave ’ threat • Trojan horse in SolarWinds network software was used in sophisticated attack • Sources say another , unnamed , major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Russia denies involvement but experts say campaign bears Kremlin hallmarks • Scale is astonishing with most Fortune 500 companies likely breached • Biden promises to punish the hackers as soon as he enters office The Russian hack is something far worse than 9/11 and was timed very carefully to coincide with the flurry of fakery after the election .
We believe that the post-election controversy , the “ Stop the Steal ” wasn ’ t simply a fund raiser for Trump to fight rape charges and New York fraud .
We believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a last chance to take down America at a time when the nation would be crippled by a fake civil war orchestrated by media organizations partnering with Trump who are under the control of foreign intelligence agencies .
We mean Fox News , of course , owned by Rupert Murdock who has a long history with the Mossad but we also believe that a real investigation will show ties to Russia as well and we strongly advocate that this be looked into .
We are also looking at InfoWars , Epoch Times , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ activist ” platforms as well .
There was always a common stream for all free speech activism and that was pushing a two-state solution in Israel and backing UN resolutions condemning that nation ’ s apartheid policies .
Lo and behold , 2020 comes , Trump backs Israeli apartheid totally and those who had , in the past , built their names on backing the Palestinian cause now back Trump 100 % .
We believe a Russian backed operation pays most of them , there is no other possible answer .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has one and it is very long , very inclusive and very well documented .
Why take down the US ?
Maybe Benjamin Netanyahu stated it best as told by murdered VT editor , Thomas Mattingly , the man who first reported Russiagate in March 2016 .
This is an excerpted , read it all , link supplied below : In 1990 , after returning to Israel and after being Israel ’ s UN ambassador in New York , and before the First Gulf War , Bibi Netanyahu was in Jerusalem at Fink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with high level U.S. Embassy staff and others .
Bibi and his loyalist group at a Fink ’ s Bar private table in Jerusalem had just stolen five ( 5 ) NSA-developed KG-84A cryptographic devices in Golan Heights ( with help from Canadians serving with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization ) , giving Bibi , his loyalists and others real-time access to U.S. State Department , U.S. Navy and NATO communications .
This is what Bibi Netanyahu said while sitting at the head of that private table in Fink ’ s Bar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Netanyahu at that meeting – words that few Americans , Israelis or others have seen or heard until today ) : “ If we get caught , they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth .
So , it does not matter what you do .
America is a golden calf ; and we will suck it dry , chop it up , and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world ’ s biggest welfare state that we will create and control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will of God , and America is big enough to take the hit ; so , we can do it again and again and again .
This is what we do to countries that we hate .
We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.
” [ Confirmed by an “ attendee ” during a debriefing . ]
During Bibi ’ s pre-1988 time in the U.S. as Israel ’ s UN ambassador , Bibi was also Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard ’ s “ handler ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ VT staff who worked closely with President GHW Bush and his National Security Council .
Then and afterwards , Bibi was also a spy for USSR and Russia , as per VT sources .
Thanks to Bibi , U.S. intel stolen by Pollard also went to Russia .
That ’ s what U.S. intel has not yet said ( i.e.
, TS+ ) .
In 1984 , during the Iran/Iraq War , Israel bombed Iraq ’ s nuclear facilities at Osirak – supposedly to protect Israel from a nuclear attack by Iraq .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saddam had a nuclear weapon , Iraq ’ s first target would have been Iran – not Israel .
So , Israel may have protected Iran ( for which some Iranians are begrudgingly grateful ) .
During the Iran/Iraq War ( 1980-88 ) , some/many Israelis , Americans and others were saying , ‘ Let the Muslims kill each other.
’ But before , during and after the war , Bibi ’ s loyalists needed a strong Saddam in Iraq as a continuing enemy of Iran , which was and is Israel ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Mideast .
So , Bibi and his ‘ visionary ’ loyalists did not want Saddam to be removed during the 1991 First Gulf War .
President George H.W .
Bush learned of the Israeli espionage and theft of NSA KG-84A encryption devices during the First Gulf War , noting that America would be defenseless against Russia in a nuclear war .
As Bibi and his Israeli/Russian/U.S .
loyalists wished , the U.S. then pulled out of Iraq earlier than planned — leaving Saddam in place ( 1991+ ) .
During the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , an implicit/explicit risk was this : Had Saddam been removed , with subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq , the occupation would be a foundation for orchestrating geopolitical confrontations that would escalate into WW3 ( nuclear+ ) – with careful ‘ guidance ’ in Washington and Moscow to ensure the result .
Above is the little-known history of why the U.S. did not remove Saddam during the First Gulf War .
The above events influenced all subsequent history in the Mideast .
President Donald J. Trump , former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign policy advisers may or may not know this history .
The above vulnerabilities , combined with spying by Hansen and Pollard ( both working for Israel+ ) and by others more successfully protected by AIPAC , made 9/11 possible – by ensuring that America ’ s enemies had daily access to decryption keys and intel .
You and a few others now know the source of the U.S. nuke weapon launch codes openly conveyed to White House switchboard operators on September 11 , 2001 .
By 2001 , one of the above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post ; one would become the president ’ s chief counter-terrorism advisor ; and another would be special envoy to Afghanistan during the initial stages of the US-Afghan War .
Their close cohorts continue to control the New York field office of the FBI until this very day ( including 2016 U.S. elections ) ; and others continue to control the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security .
We call them “ the usual suspects.
” Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin ( “ Bibi ” ) Netanyahu will visit President Donald J.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15 ( today ) .
Trump ’ s son-in-law and special advisor Jared Kushner has played and will play a role in Trump ’ s relations with Bibi and Israel – as will Trump ’ s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon , who has an office near Bibi in Israel .
In VT ’ s recent Intel Drop , VT authors disparaged Bannon and Kushner as follows : “ We are going to take things on with a rough attempt at stating their importance , the biggest disaster is Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an Israeli passport who served in the IDF .
He is one of the most unremarkable people on earth , the talent and intellect Uber missed his pickup spot .
He is the primary advisor to the President of the United States in areas of national security , behind him is Benjamin Netanyahu and anyone who doesn ’ t know that Netanyahu both despises the United States and is utterly insane is not paying attention .
“ Then we have Steve Bannon , a failed blogger and a real Jew hater who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guy ; no military experience , a potty mouth and a long history of screaming at people in line at Starbucks .
Like Kushner , Bannon has spent his life as a toad and ass kisser.
” On Trump ’ s National Security Council , Bannon displaced Trump ’ s Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair and Trump ’ s Director of National Intelligence , who are now “ optional.
” Bannon and Kushner were two of a small number involved in decision-making processes on Trump ’ s failed Yemen raid ( which killed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and an indeterminate number of Yemeni women and children ) – with questionable results , at best .
A slightly more sane National Security Adviser to Trump ( retired Marine Corps General Michael Flynn ) will no longer be present as Trump ’ s counter-insanity adviser .
Given the truth of the above claims about Bibi , Bannon and Kushner , VT ’ s “ Intel Drop ” may have sardonically engaged in significant understatement .
Too harsh by half ?
After 9/11 , Netanyahu told Israeli media outlets that the events of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President George W. Bush , the U.S. military and others to ‘ wake up to what Israelis face every day.
’ As usual , mainstream media ignored Bibi ’ s 9/11 cheerleading .
As per firsthand knowledge and investigations by VT authors , staff and sources , Bibi and Bibi ’ s Israeli/U.S./other loyalists were involved in the planning and execution of 9/11 .
Bibi ’ s Israeli intel boys and girls were also present in New York and New Jersey on 9/11/01 – openly filming and celebrating 9/11 events .
Bibi now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead to the U.S. bombing , invasion and occupation of Iraq , Syria and Iran — and the takeovers of several other countries , as per U.S. General and NATO commander Wesley Clark ( retired ) .
Bibi , U.S. and others installed Morsi as Egyptian president to order the Egyptian military to join the invasion of Syria to oust Bashar al-Assad .
Not !
When the Egyptian people and military ousted Morsi , then Russia , China & Mideast nations rushed to fill the void .
Such conflicts were designed to escalate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russia and others – in which the U.S. would .
This is what Trump , others and we confront today – with Flynn no longer present and Netanyahu in town to persuade Trump & Co. During the presidency of George W. Bush , I was involved in activities related to Iran .
See my Veterans Today article , “ Beavis & Butt-head ‘ Do ’ Iran – and World War 3 .

…from the Senior Editor
VT personnel give private intelligence briefings that include information that most often can only be hinted at in publication. Today we put as much accurate data in front of the public as possible but fearing that it may well be too late.
We have overwhelming evidence of a Russian attempt to destroy the US using Donald Trump and those around him, particularly those who are vocally calling for military intervention or congressional rebellion.

In March 2016, we stumbled over one of what we know to be many efforts to penetrate the the US for what we believed was the purpose of espionage. Toward this end, Russia made a 180 degree switch from supporting activism and civil rights in the US to aligning with right wing extremists, Christian “nationalists” and groups like Oath Keepers, the NRA and the varying police cults, militias and the GOP.
We believe that many GOP political leaders who switched from hating Donald Trump to supporting him are working for Russia and that their views and statements are reflected daily in the writings in Russia Today and Sputnik News.
Behind this, we identified Ukraine as being used to recruit and control Americans working for Russia.
Remind you, VT has been long accused of being pro-Russian for allowing South Front to publish its videos and for featuring uncensored news from Syria and the Middle East. The DOJ has been in nearly constant contact with VT over these issues now.
That said, we wonder how they miss the real threat? Is it accidental?

This is only a taste of the vast amount of intelligence we have.

This is easily verified. From the DM, the extent of what is known thus far, but we will never know how far it really went.
Suspected Russian hackers also got into nation’s nuclear stockpile networks
Energy Department and the National Nuclear Security Administration breached
Targets include Los Alamos National Laboratory, which conducts the government’s most sensitive and advanced nuclear research
Evidence of the attack was also found in the networks of the Office of Secure Transportation which is responsible for moving nuclear materials
Another breach might have probed how to disrupt the national power grid
Officials warn the hack is on an unprecedented scale and poses ‘grave’ threat
Trojan horse in SolarWinds network software was used in sophisticated attack
Sources say another, unnamed, major tech vendor was used as attack vector
Russia denies involvement but experts say campaign bears Kremlin hallmarks
Scale is astonishing with most Fortune 500 companies likely breached
Biden promises to punish the hackers as soon as he enters office
The Russian hack is something far worse than 9/11 and was timed very carefully to coincide with the flurry of fakery after the election.
We believe that the post-election controversy, the “Stop the Steal” wasn’t simply a fund raiser for Trump to fight rape charges and New York fraud.

Bibi and Fink’s Bar (1990)
In 1990, after returning to Israel and after being Israel’s UN ambassador in New York, and before the First Gulf War, Bibi Netanyahu was in Jerusalem at Fink’s Bar – dining and drinking with high level U.S. Embassy staff and others.
Bibi and his loyalist group at a Fink’s Bar private table in Jerusalem had just stolen five (5) NSA-developed KG-84A cryptographic devices in Golan Heights (with help from Canadians serving with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization), giving Bibi, his loyalists and others real-time access to all U.S. State Department, U.S. Navy and NATO communications.
This is what Bibi Netanyahu said while sitting at the head of that private table in Fink’s Bar (transcribed from a secretly recorded audio of Netanyahu at that meeting – words that few Americans, Israelis or others have seen or heard until today):
“If we get caught, they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth. So, it does not matter what you do. America is a golden calf; and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why?

Bibi Netanyahu Is a Russian Spy
During Bibi’s pre-1988 time in the U.S. as Israel’s UN ambassador, Bibi was also Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard’s “handler” for others in Israel, as per VT staff who worked closely with President GHW Bush and his National Security Council. Then and afterwards, Bibi was also a spy for USSR and Russia, as per VT sources. Thanks to Bibi, U.S. intel stolen by Pollard also went to Russia. That’s what U.S. intel has not yet said (i.e., TS+).

So, Bibi and his ‘visionary’ loyalists did not want Saddam to be removed during the 1991 First Gulf War.
President George H.W. Bush learned of the Israeli espionage and theft of NSA KG-84A encryption devices during the First Gulf War, noting that America would be defenseless against Russia in a nuclear war.
As Bibi and his Israeli/Russian/U.S. loyalists wished, the U.S. then pulled out of Iraq earlier than planned — leaving Saddam in place (1991+).
During the First Gulf War (+/-96 hours), an implicit/explicit risk was this: Had Saddam been removed, with subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq, the occupation would be a foundation for orchestrating geopolitical confrontations that would escalate into WW3 (nuclear+) – with careful ‘guidance’ in Washington and Moscow to ensure the result.
Above is the little-known history of why the U.S. did not remove Saddam during the First Gulf War. The above events influenced all subsequent history in the Mideast. President Donald J.

We call them “the usual suspects.”

Bibi ‘Trumps’ America!
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu will visit President Donald J. Trump and the White House on February 15 (today). Trump’s son-in-law and special advisor Jared Kushner has played and will play a role in Trump’s relations with Bibi and Israel – as will Trump’s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, who has an office near Bibi in Israel.
In VT’s recent Intel Drop, VT authors disparaged Bannon and Kushner as follows:
“We are going to take things on with a rough attempt at stating their importance, the biggest disaster is Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner; Kushner is a pig-skinned little toad with an Israeli passport who served in the IDF. He is one of the most unremarkable people on earth, the talent and intellect Uber missed his pickup spot. He is the primary advisor to the President of the United States in areas of national security, behind him is Benjamin Netanyahu and anyone who doesn’t know that Netanyahu both despises the United States and is utterly insane is not paying attention.
“Then we have Steve Bannon, a failed blogger and a real Jew hater who sees himself as the ultimate American tough guy; no military experience, a potty mouth and a long history of screaming at people in line at Starbucks. Like Kushner, Bannon has spent his life as a toad and ass kisser.”
On Trump’s National Security Council, Bannon displaced Trump’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair and Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, who are now “optional.” Bannon and Kushner were two of a small number involved in decision-making processes on Trump’s failed Yemen raid (which killed one or more U.S. special forces soldiers and an indeterminate number of Yemeni women and children) – with questionable results, at best.
A slightly more sane National Security Adviser to Trump (retired Marine Corps General Michael Flynn) will no longer be present as Trump’s counter-insanity adviser.
Given the truth of the above claims about Bibi, Bannon and Kushner, VT’s “Intel Drop” may have sardonically engaged in significant understatement. Too harsh by half?
Postscript
After 9/11, Netanyahu told Israeli media outlets that the events of 9/11 had helped Israel to get U.S. President George W. Bush, the U.S. military and others to ‘wake up to what Israelis face every day.’ As usual, mainstream media ignored Bibi’s 9/11 cheerleading.
As per firsthand knowledge and investigations by VT authors, staff and sources, Bibi and Bibi’s Israeli/U.S./other loyalists were involved in the planning and execution of 9/11. Bibi’s Israeli intel boys and girls were also present in New York and New Jersey on 9/11/01 – openly filming and celebrating 9/11 events. Bibi now returns to celebrate…
9/11 was intended to lead to the U.S. bombing, invasion and occupation of Iraq, Syria and Iran — and the takeovers of several other countries, as per U.S. General and NATO commander Wesley Clark (retired).
Bibi, U.S. and others installed Morsi as Egyptian president to order the Egyptian military to join the invasion of Syria to oust Bashar al-Assad. Not! When the Egyptian people and military ousted Morsi, then Russia, China & Mideast nations rushed to fill the void.
Such conflicts were designed to escalate into a nuclear World War 3 with Russia and others – in which the U.S. would lose . This is what Trump, others and we confront today – with Flynn no longer present and Netanyahu in town to persuade Trump & Co.
During the presidency of George W. Bush, I was involved in activities related to Iran. See my VT article, “Beavis & Butt-head ‘Do’ Iran – and World War 3.”

There is a protocol of who is to receive the vaccine and in what order. Only discuss your vaccine with your healthcare provider, medical provider, or pharmacy.
You will not be asked for money to get you to the top of the vaccine list. Government and state officials will not ask for highly personal information, such as your SS number.
Scamsters will try to pressure you to respond/act fast. Always check with a legitimate health center professional before receiving or paying for any COVID-19 related treatment.
We will all wait our turn in the vaccination queue as more vaccine doses become available. In the meantime practice all safety measures as if your life depends on it, because….well, it does. Wear the mask over nose and mouth when outside your home, stay physically distanced for anyone you do not live with, wash your hands all the time, especially before touching your face, mouth, eyes, nose, stay away from any group no matter how small, stay home if you are sick, stay away from anyone who is sick, do not travel, stay home for the upcoming holidays, and do not give the virus another person to infect. Until we have the vaccine (two doses for Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines and these are the only vaccines that are approved for Emergency Use at this time), all we have are our medical safety measures….Carol


veteranstoday--2020-12-19--How Israel deployed an intelligence deception to justify killing scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh

JEA : almost every serious journalist and writer now believes that Israel was behind the death of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeth .
But that would almost certainly have been impossible if the United States and other US allies were putting pressure on Israel .
In fact , one can say that the death of Fakhrizadeth was invariably a gift from the United States .
Why ?
The United States has been giving Israel at least 3 billion dollars every single year , and with Trump on the throne , the Israelis have been able to do just about anything they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ literally destroyed the peace deal Obama established with the Iranians .
I was just recently discussing some of these issues with a friend , and his only response was : “ Iran sucks.
” There was no argument , no evidence , and not a single fact to back up that statement .
Iran sucks because Iran sucks !
Or Iran sucks because someone who has virtually no knowledge of what is actually going on says that Iran sucks .
End of discussion .

How Israel deployed an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fakhrizadeh Israel ’ s Mossad has spent years on a propaganda campaign aimed at convincing the world Iran possessed a nuclear weapons program – and legitimizing its assassinations of Iranian academics .
The Israeli assassination of Iranian defense official Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is being treated as a triumph of Israeli intelligence , with ubiquitous references in the New York Times and other major media outlets to the killing of “ Iran ’ s top nuclear scientist ” .
In fact , Israel ’ s Mossad intelligence agency eliminated Fakhrizadeh , a defense official , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of him as the key architect of an Iranian nuclear weapons program was a deception .
For years , US media outlets have portrayed Fakhrizadeh as Iran ’ s equivalent to J. Robert Oppenheimer , marketing him to the public as the mastermind behind an Iranian version of the Manhattan Project .
This image was developed primarily through a carefully constructed Israeli disinformation operation based on documents that displayed signs of fabrication .
The origin of the Mossad propaganda operation on Fakhrizadeh lies in the early 1990 ’ s , when the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ambitions to develop a nuclear weapon .
U.S. , British , German and Israeli intelligence analysts had intercepted telexes from Sharif University about various “ dual use ” technologies — those that could be exploited in a nuclear program but also be applied for non-nuclear use .
Many of the telexes contained the number of an organization called Physics Research Center that operated under the watch of Iran ’ s Defense Ministry .
The CIA and its allied intelligence agencies interpreted those intercepts as evidence that the Iranian military was running its own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was covertly seeking a nuclear weapons capability .
During the first term of the George W. Bush administration , the notorious militarist and Likud ally John Bolton took charge of Iran policy , prompting the CIA to issue an estimate concluding for the first time that Iran had initiated a nuclear weapons program .
Israel ’ s Mossad apparently saw Washington ’ s new posture as a green light to set into motion a black propaganda campaign to dramatize and personalize the secret Iranian nuclear weapons program that was presumed to exist .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a large cache of alleged Iranian documents depicting efforts to mate a nuclear weapon with Iran ’ s Shahab-3 missile and a bench system to convert uranium .
The Mossad files contained multiple tell-tale signs of forgery .
For example , the reentry vehicle depicted in the drawings had already been abandoned by 2002 – before these drawings were supposedly created , according to the documents themselves – in favor of a design that looked entirely different and which was first shown in an August 2004 test .
So whoever was responsible for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ single most important Defense Ministry decision affecting the future of Iran ’ s missile deterrent .
The CIA never revealed who spirited the documents out of Iran or how .
However , former senior German Foreign Office official Karsten Voigt explained to this reporter in 2013 that the German intelligence agency , the BND , had been furnished with the collection by an occasional source whom the intel chiefs considered less than credible .
And who was this source ?
According to Voigt , he belonged to the Mujahedeen e-Khalq ( MEK ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fought for Saddam ’ s Iraqi forces against Iran during the eight-year war and by the early 1990s was passing information and propaganda that Mossad did not want to have attributed to itself .
Those Mossad documents identified Mohsen Fakhrizadeh as the manager of a supposedly top-secret Iranian project called the “ AMAD Plan.
” In reality , Fakhrizadeh was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer and official in the Ministry of Defense Armed Forces Logistics ( MODAFL ) , who also taught Physics at Imam Hussein University in Tehran .
To implicate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the collection of Mossad documents featured a directive supposedly signed by Fakhrizadeh .
But since no one outside Iran had ever seen the previously obscure official ’ s signature , and given the lack of effort to show any official government markings on the documents , there was little to prevent Mossad from forging it .
In their 2012 history of Israel ’ s intelligence service , “ Mossad : The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service ” , Michael Bar-Zohar and Nisham Mishal pointed to Mossad as the culprit behind the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The writers recounted how Mossad gathered the personal information on Fakhrizadeh that was later released to the public through the MEK , including his passport number and his home telephone number .

That accusation was reflected in the 2006 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1747 listing Iranian officials responsible for nuclear and missile proliferation in Iran .
In the UN resolution , Fakhrizadeh was identified as a “ [ s ] enior MODAFL scientist and former head of the Physics Research Centre ( PHRC ) .
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the head of the PHRC was proven to be a lie .
Iran turned over extensive documentation to the IAEA in late 2004 or early 2005 on the PHRC and the procurement telexes , and the documents — which the IAEA did not challenge — showing that a professor at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran named Sayyed Abbas Shahmoradi-Zavari had headed the PHRC from its inception in 1989 until it closed in 1998 .
Further , the documents provided to the IAEA revealed that the dual-use technology that Shahmoradi-Zavari helped the university @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intended for the university faculty ’ s own teaching and research .
In at least one case , the IAEA personnel found one “ dual-use ” item had been procured by the university .
These facts should have put an end to the Mossad-created myth of Fakrizadeh as the head of a vast underground nuclear weapons program .
But the IAEA never revealed Shamoradi-Zavari ’ s name , and therefore avoided having to acknowledge that the documents the agency had embraced as genuine had misled the world about Fakhrizadeh .

How Israel deployed an intelligence deception to justify killing scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh
…by Gareth Porter, author of Manufactured Crisis
Israel’s Mossad has spent years on a propaganda campaign aimed at convincing the world Iran possessed a nuclear weapons program – and legitimizing its assassinations of Iranian academics.
The Israeli assassination of Iranian defense official Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is being treated as a triumph of Israeli intelligence, with ubiquitous references in the New York Times and other major media outlets to the killing of “Iran’s top nuclear scientist”. In fact, Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency eliminated Fakhrizadeh, a defense official, despite the knowledge that its public depiction of him as the key architect of an Iranian nuclear weapons program was a deception.
For years, US media outlets have portrayed Fakhrizadeh as Iran’s equivalent to J. Robert Oppenheimer, marketing him to the public as the mastermind behind an Iranian version of the Manhattan Project. This image was developed primarily through a carefully constructed Israeli disinformation operation based on documents that displayed signs of fabrication.
Birth of a Mossad propaganda operation
The origin of the Mossad propaganda operation on Fakhrizadeh lies in the early 1990’s when the US and Israel first developed suspicions of Iranian ambitions to develop a nuclear weapon. U.S., British, German and Israeli intelligence analysts had intercepted telexes from Sharif University about various “dual-use” technologies — those that could be exploited in a nuclear program but also be applied for non-nuclear use.
Many of the telexes contained the number of an organization called Physics Research Center that operated under the watch of Iran’s Defense Ministry. The CIA and its allied intelligence agencies interpreted those intercepts as evidence that the Iranian military was running its own nuclear program, and thus that Iran was covertly seeking a nuclear weapons capability.
During the first term of the George W. Bush administration, the notorious militarist and Likud ally John Bolton took charge of Iran policy, prompting the CIA to issue an estimate concluding for the first time that Iran had initiated a nuclear weapons program. Israel’s Mossad apparently saw Washington’s new posture as a green light to set into motion a black propaganda campaign to dramatize and personalize the secret Iranian nuclear weapons program that was presumed to exist.
Between 2003 and 2004, Mossad produced a large cache of alleged Iranian documents depicting efforts to mate a nuclear weapon with Iran’s Shahab-3 missile and a bench system to convert uranium.
The Mossad files contained multiple tell-tale signs of forgery. For example, the reentry vehicle depicted in the drawings had already been abandoned by 2002 – before these drawings were supposedly created, according to the documents themselves – in favor of a design that looked entirely different and which was first shown in an August 2004 test. So whoever was responsible for the drawings was clearly unaware of the single most important Defense Ministry decision affecting the future of Iran’s missile deterrent.
The CIA never revealed who spirited the documents out of Iran or how. However, former senior German Foreign Office official Karsten Voigt explained to this reporter in 2013 that the German intelligence agency, the BND, had been furnished with the collection by an occasional source whom the intel chiefs considered less than credible.
And who was this source? According to Voigt, he belonged to the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK), the exile Iranian cult which had fought for Saddam’s Iraqi forces against Iran during the eight-year war and by the early 1990s was passing information and propaganda that Mossad did not want to have attributed to itself.
Painting Fakrhizadeh as the nuclear mastermind
Those Mossad documents identified Mohsen Fakhrizadeh as the manager of a supposedly top-secret Iranian project called the “AMAD Plan.” In reality, Fakhrizadeh was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer and official in the Ministry of Defense Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL), who also taught Physics at Imam Hussein University in Tehran.
To implicate him as a nuclear project mastermind, the collection of Mossad documents featured a directive supposedly signed by Fakhrizadeh. But since no one outside Iran had ever seen the previously obscure official’s signature, and given the lack of effort to show any official government markings on the documents, there was little to prevent Mossad from forging it.
In their 2012 history of Israel’s intelligence service, “Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service”, Michael Bar-Zohar and Nisham Mishal pointed to Mossad as the culprit behind the appearance of the supposed Iranian nuclear documents. The writers recounted how Mossad gathered the personal information on Fakhrizadeh that was later released to the public through the MEK, including his passport number and his home telephone number.
“This abundance of detail and means of transmission,” Bar-Zohar and Mishal wrote, “leads one to believe that… ‘a certain secret service’ ever suspected by the West of pursuing its own agenda, painstakingly collected these facts and figures about the Iranian scientist and passed them on to the Iranian resistance [MEK].”
The documents also fingered Fakhrizadeh as the former head of the Physics Research Centre, thus deceptively linking him to the procurement efforts for “dual-use” nuclear items in 1990-91 that was well known to CIA and other intelligence agencies. That accusation was reflected in the 2006 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1747 listing Iranian officials responsible for nuclear and missile proliferation in Iran. In the UN resolution, Fakhrizadeh was identified as a “[s]enior MODAFL scientist and former head of the Physics Research Centre (PHRC).”

Further, the documents provided to the IAEA revealed that the dual-use technology that Shahmoradi-Zaveri helped the university procure through his PHRC connections was actually intended for the university faculty’s own teaching and research. In at least one case, the IAEA personnel found one “dual-use” item had been procured by the university.
These facts should have put an end to the Mossad-created myth of Fakrizadeh as the head of a vast underground nuclear weapons program. But the IAEA never revealed Shamoradi-Zavari’s name, and therefore avoided having to acknowledge that the documents the agency had embraced as genuine had misled the world about Fakhrizadeh.
It was not until 2012 that David Albright, the director of Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, acknowledged that Shahmoradi-Zaveri — not Fakhrizadeh — had been the head of the Physics Research Center – although he avoided admitting that the IAEA had relied on documents that turned out be false.
Revving up the propaganda
The Mossad got busy again after the CIA’s November 2007 assessment that Iran had ceased work on nuclear weapons. Determined to neutralize the political impact of that finding, the Israelis apparently began work on a new batch of Iranian top-secret documents. This time, however, the Israelis provided the documents directly to the IAEA in late 2009, as then-IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei revealed in his memoirs.
The documents supposedly revealed Iranian defense ministry activities related to nuclear weapons after the cessation of such work that the CIA.

But as ElBaradei recalled, the IAEA’s technical experts “raised numerous questions about the documents’ authenticity….”
Even the CIA and some European intelligence analysts were skeptical about the authenticity of the Fakhrizadeh document. Although it had been circulating among the intelligence agencies for months, even the normally unquestioning New York Times reported that the CIA had not authenticated it. Former CIA counterterrorism official Philip Giraldi, who had maintained contacts with active agency personnel, told this reporter CIA analysts regarded the document as a forgery.
A pattern of assassinations justified by disinformation
The killing of Fakhrizadeh was not the first time Mossad bumped off an Iranian it had baselessly accused of playing a leading role in a weapons program. In July 2011, someone working for Mossad — apparently an MEK member — gunned down a 35-year old engineering student named Darioush Rezaeinejad and wounded his wife in front of a kindergarten in Tehran.
The young man was targeted on the basis of nothing more than the research he had conducted on high-voltage switches and his publication of a scholarly paper about his scholarship. The abstract of the professional paper Rezaienejad had published made it clear that his work involved what is called “explosive pulsed power” involved in high-power lasers, high-power microwave sources, and other commercial applications.
A few days after the assassination of Rezaienejad, however, an official of an unnamed “member state” provided Associated Press reporter George Jahn the abstract of Rezaienejad’s paper, successfully persuading Jahn that it “appeared to back” the claim that he had been “working on a key component in setting off the explosives needed to trigger a nuclear warhead.”
Then, in September 2011, the Israelis provided Jahn with an “intelligence summary” advancing the ludicrous claim that Rezaeinejad was not an electrical engineering specialist at all, but rather a “physicist” who had worked for the Ministry of Defense on various aspects of nuclear weapons.
The deployment of absurd assertions backed by paper-thin evidence to justify the cold-blooded murder of a young electrical engineer with no record of nuclear weapons involvement illuminated a Mossad modus operandi that has reappeared in the case of Fakhrizadeh: Israeli intelligence simply gins up a narrative centered around fictional ties to a nonexistent nuclear weapons program. It then watches as the Western press uncritically disseminates the propaganda to the public, establishing the political space for cold-blooded assassinations in broad daylight.

[ Editor ’ s Note : We are wrapping up the year not only with shifting political sands in the US but also in the Mideast .
While Israel had seen itself in the driver ’ s seat in re-establishing Gulf State relations , that is turning out to be a somewhat hollow accomplishment .
Rafi Sheikh has a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on among the players to accomplish two things , to gain prestige in presenting themselves as the big wheel in the Persian Gulf , and to be the most useful ‘ player ’ for the US-Israeli axis .
The Lobby did not rig the election for Trump , which is another story for another day .
Of course with Biden winning , Bibi ’ s bromance with Trump will be over because he is no longer useful .
But that said , Bibi might want to keep him as a pet .
Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the nose by Israel by continuing Trump ’ s slithering subservience .
And second the little UAE is throwing its case around to replace the Saudis as the former Mideast Arab power .
On the sideline are a list of players trying to exploit the competition for any benefits they can accrue .
For example Turkey needs friends with tons of money , as it is too broke to remain on Ergodan ’ s current geopolitical offence campaign .
While Erdogan tries to hustle the emirs and the princes , they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ throw-away mercenaries like Azerbaijan availed itself with Armenia recently .
Meanwhile Iran sits back and watches with glee , knowing it is safe while its neighbors are focused on stabbing each other in the back .
The US also watched this gleefully , for example not wanting to have the UAE become a more powerful military spoiler in the region .
Hence Congress has put the brakes on the big UAE arms sale and sanctions on Turkey to remind all players that US permission has to be obtained for any major moves .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ me to be “ interfering in the internal affairs of another country ” .
But that has become something of a joke .
When they are on offense , foreign ministers call this ‘ pursuing our interests ’ , and when on defense they are ‘ contesting interference ’ .
Meanwhile , when Trump was at his peak watching all this , he just smiled , thinking that he was king of the leadership reality tv show game and everybody else was wannabes .
Trump has now crashed and burned , with stories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he broods in the Whitehouse .
His dream to steal the election if needed , due to his 6-3 Supreme Court ‘ fix ’ , blew up in his face .
So while America views itself as ‘ the ’ big transition story going on , there are numerous transitions going on , big ones , like the Brexit final showdown .

The Biden administration , therefore , will inherit a Middle East that is much more complex and changed than it was during the Obama administration .
However , a lot of what is happening today in the Middle East—The Abraham Accords , an apparent ‘ rift ’ between Saudi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between Saudia and Turkey and Saudia and Qatar—owes itself not just to the change of administration in the US from the Republicans to the Democrats , but also equally , or even more , to the complex dynamics of the Middle East as well .
On the one hand , we have evidence of growing competition between Saudi Arabia and the UAE itself , and on the other , we have the UAE spearheading normalization with Israel in exchange for some major benefits that will help it cement its claims to the leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remain convinced that normalization with Israel is crucial , the ‘ UAE phenomenon ’ with all its ambitions has become a nuisance that the Kingdom is struggling to deal with .
This is equally true of the Turks who , too , are engaged in intense competition with the UAE .
Saudi troubles have been compounded by the arrival of the Biden administration and its promise of changing policies towards the Kingdom .
The Saudis have accordingly taken a step back from normalization with Israel without abandoning the process , and started paying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they ’ re facing from within the Gulf and the change of administration in the US .
It is accordingly not a coincidence that a Saudia-Turkey rapprochement has started to happen at a time both Saudia and Turkey are feeling the heat .
The in-coming Biden administration has already indicated its policy of ‘ no-appeasement ’ towards the Saudis ; the out-going Trump administration has slapped the Turks with fresh sanctions , setting in motion developments that would create such a wedge between Turkey and the US the new US administration will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Saudis , therefore , have reasons to mend their relations with Ankara and its ally , Qatar as well .
Thanks to Kuwaiti mediation , the Saudis and Qatar are closing in on a deal that would end Saudi boycott of Qatar .
The UAE , as could be expected , remains opposed to the normalization in the Gulf and remains pre-deposed to normalization with Israel ( because this normalization serves its interests ) .
Whereas a normalization within the Gulf , particularly between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Saudi Arabia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its ‘ lost prestige ’ , it will have a negative impact on the Emirati ambitions to claim leadership by side-stepping the Saudis .
Within this matrix , therefore , the Saudis are approaching Turkish and Qatari leaders to defeat Emirati plans .
There is no gainsaying that the UAE and Israel are not going to appreciate Saudi Arabia ’ s normalisation with Qatar and Turkey .
Both have great animus against the Turkey-Qatar axis which they see as an existential challenge to their regional strategies to dominate Middle Eastern politics .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Muslim Brotherhood .
( Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood ) .
While the Saudis , too , are against the Brotherhood , for the moment their concerns vis-à-vis the UAE seem to outweigh their concerns vis-à-vis the Brotherhood .
As such , while a Saudi rapprochement with Turkey and Qatar would help end the isolation it is facing in the wake of UAE-led normalization with Israel , both Turkey and Saudis also hope to increase their own space to counter-manoeuvre and stay active in the on-going race to leadership in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while a Saudi deal with Israel would have been a perfect ‘ departing gift ’ of the Trump administration , the Saudis know that the deal wouldn ’ t serve them well vis-à-vis the assertive Biden administration .
On the other hand , the Saudis seem to calculate , normalization in the Gulf with Qatar could help the Saudis paint a positive image of the Kingdom in Washington and the EU .
It is , in this context , remarkable to see how quickly the Saudis were able to overcome tensons with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inside Saudi consulate in Istanbul .
It appears that the Saudis have for now buried the fact that Ankara back then did its best to name Muhammad bin Salman ( MBS ) in that brutal murder to undermine the next King of the Kingdom .
While the Trump administration willfully protected MBS , the Biden administration could certainly reverse the course .
In this context , therefore , it was but natural for the Saudis to start a normalization process with Turkey , the main proponent of ‘ justice for Khashoggi.
’ This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moves to frame MBS .
As is evident , Saudia ’ s major moves on the foreign policy front are deeply rooted in a complex set of changes taking place and expected to take place within the Middle East and Washington .
This rapprochement certainly has many challenges to counter .
Apart from the fact that both Saudia and Turkey share a history of rivalry and practice and champion two different brands of Islam that make them ideologically incompatible , the UAE-Israel nexus will definitely make its moves to sabotage Saudi reconciliation with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Turkey and Qatar to get along well , this could allow for a powerful block to emerge that could effectively rival the UAE-Israeli ambitions .

Of course with Biden winning, Bibi’s bromance with Trump will be over because he is no longer useful. But that said, Bibi might want to keep him as a pet.
Biden is not going to be led around by the nose by Israel by continuing Trump’s slithering subservience. And second the little UAE is throwing its case around to replace the Saudis as the former Mideast Arab power.
On the sideline are a list of players trying to exploit the competition for any benefits they can accrue. For example Turkey needs friends with tons of money, as it is too broke to remain on Ergodan’s current geopolitical offence campaign.
While Erdogan tries to hustle the emirs and the princes, they are attempting the same with him, wanting throw-away mercenaries like Azerbaijan availed itself with Armenia recently. Meanwhile Iran sits back and watches with glee, knowing it is safe while its neighbors are focused on stabbing each other in the back.
The US also watched this gleefully, for example not wanting to have the UAE become a more powerful military spoiler in the region. Hence Congress has put the brakes on the big UAE arms sale and sanctions on Turkey to remind all players that US permission has to be obtained for any major moves.
Gosh, this all looks like to me to be “interfering in the internal affairs of another country”. But that has become something of a joke. When they are on offense, foreign ministers call this ‘pursuing our interests’, and when on defense they are ‘contesting interference’.
Meanwhile, when Trump was at his peak watching all this, he just smiled, thinking that he was king of the leadership reality tv show game and everybody else was wannabes.
Trump has now crashed and burned, with stories of his power and ego imploding as he broods in the Whitehouse. His dream to steal the election if needed, due to his 6-3 Supreme Court ‘fix’, blew up in his face.
So while America views itself as ‘the’ big transition story going on, there are numerous transitions going on, big ones, like the Brexit final showdown. This is a time where a professional gambler goes on vacation and comes back when the dust has settled… Jim W. Dean ]

Intense geo-political upheavals are taking place in the Middle East in the wake of the Trump administration’s exit from power. The Biden administration, therefore, will inherit a Middle East that is much more complex and changed than it was during the Obama administration.
However, a lot of what is happening today in the Middle East—The Abraham Accords, an apparent ‘rift’ between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and crucial rapprochement between Saudia and Turkey and Saudia and Qatar—owes itself not just to the change of administration in the US from the Republicans to the Democrats, but also equally, or even more, to the complex dynamics of the Middle East as well.
On the one hand, we have evidence of growing competition between Saudi Arabia and the UAE itself, and on the other, we have the UAE spearheading normalization with Israel in exchange for some major benefits that will help it cement its claims to the leadership of the Gulf.
While the Saudis remain convinced that normalization with Israel is crucial, the ‘UAE phenomenon’ with all its ambitions has become a nuisance that the Kingdom is struggling to deal with. This is equally true of the Turks who, too, are engaged in intense competition with the UAE.
Saudi troubles have been compounded by the arrival of the Biden administration and its promise of changing policies towards the Kingdom. The Saudis have accordingly taken a step back from normalization with Israel without abandoning the process, and started paying more attention to the more immediate challenge that they’re facing from within the Gulf and the change of administration in the US.
It is accordingly not a coincidence that a Saudia-Turkey rapprochement has started to happen at a time both Saudia and Turkey are feeling the heat.
The in-coming Biden administration has already indicated its policy of ‘no-appeasement’ towards the Saudis; the out-going Trump administration has slapped the Turks with fresh sanctions, setting in motion developments that would create such a wedge between Turkey and the US the new US administration will not be too willing to bridge quickly.
The Saudis, therefore, have reasons to mend their relations with Ankara and its ally, Qatar as well. Thanks to Kuwaiti mediation, the Saudis and Qatar are closing in on a deal that would end Saudi boycott of Qatar. The UAE, as could be expected, remains opposed to the normalization in the Gulf and remains pre-deposed to normalization with Israel (because this normalization serves its interests).
Whereas a normalization within the Gulf, particularly between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Turkey will allow the Kingdom reclaim its ‘lost prestige’, it will have a negative impact on the Emirati ambitions to claim leadership by side-stepping the Saudis.
Within this matrix, therefore, the Saudis are approaching Turkish and Qatari leaders to defeat Emirati plans. There is no gainsaying that the UAE and Israel are not going to appreciate Saudi Arabia’s normalisation with Qatar and Turkey. Both have great animus against the Turkey-Qatar axis which they see as an existential challenge to their regional strategies to dominate Middle Eastern politics.
They see Ankara and Doha as mentoring the Muslim Brotherhood. (Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood). While the Saudis, too, are against the Brotherhood, for the moment their concerns vis-à-vis the UAE seem to outweigh their concerns vis-à-vis the Brotherhood.
As such, while a Saudi rapprochement with Turkey and Qatar would help end the isolation it is facing in the wake of UAE-led normalization with Israel, both Turkey and Saudis also hope to increase their own space to counter-manoeuvre and stay active in the on-going race to leadership in the next years.
In other words, while a Saudi deal with Israel would have been a perfect ‘departing gift’ of the Trump administration, the Saudis know that the deal wouldn’t serve them well vis-à-vis the assertive Biden administration. On the other hand, the Saudis seem to calculate, normalization in the Gulf with Qatar could help the Saudis paint a positive image of the Kingdom in Washington and the EU.
It is, in this context, remarkable to see how quickly the Saudis were able to overcome tensons with Turkey over the murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside Saudi consulate in Istanbul. It appears that the Saudis have for now buried the fact that Ankara back then did its best to name Muhammad bin Salman (MBS) in that brutal murder to undermine the next King of the Kingdom.
While the Trump administration willfully protected MBS, the Biden administration could certainly reverse the course. In this context, therefore, it was but natural for the Saudis to start a normalization process with Turkey, the main proponent of ‘justice for Khashoggi.’ This will help the Saudis neutralize any US moves to frame MBS.
As is evident, Saudia’s major moves on the foreign policy front are deeply rooted in a complex set of changes taking place and expected to take place within the Middle East and Washington.
This rapprochement certainly has many challenges to counter. Apart from the fact that both Saudia and Turkey share a history of rivalry and practice and champion two different brands of Islam that make them ideologically incompatible, the UAE-Israel nexus will definitely make its moves to sabotage Saudi reconciliation with Turkey and Qatar.
Were Saudia and Turkey and Qatar to get along well, this could allow for a powerful block to emerge that could effectively rival the UAE-Israeli ambitions.

In an unhinged, late night Oval Office meeting, Trump, Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn and others talk about absurdities like appointing Powell as “Special Counsel” to investigate election fraud and using the military to “re-run” the election in the states Trump lost. This is what happens when a corrupt Attorney General shields a criminal president from accountability for his crimes and abuses: a president untethered to the Constitution.
