Media Forgets to Mention Jamal Khashoggi was in the Muslim Brotherhood

Everything the media is telling you, is a lie

For several days the media has been shrieking, wailing, crying and beating its breast over the possible tragic fate of Jamal Khashoggi.

Every utterance made by the Turkish Islamist regime is treated as fact by the media. Trump is being barraged with "how could you" lectures by the same media that is happy to ignore the tens of thousands of political prisoners in Turkish jails.

Why is the media so in love with Jamal Khashoggi?

Guessing isn't hard. It's the easiest thing in the world. And there's only one kind of fellow that the Turkish government would be up in arms over. There's only one kind of Muslim the media loves. Only one kind.

The fate of Khashoggi has at least provoked global outrage, but it’s for all the wrong reasons. We are told he was a liberal, Saudi progressive voice fighting for freedom and democracy, and a martyr who paid the ultimate price for telling the truth to power.

Sorry, no.

In truth, Khashoggi never had much time for western-style pluralistic democracy. In the 1970s he joined the Muslim Brotherhood, which exists to rid the Islamic world of western influence. He was a political Islamist until the end, recently praising the Muslim Brotherhood in the Washington Post. He championed the ‘moderate’ Islamist opposition in Syria, whose crimes against humanity are a matter of record. Khashoggi frequently sugarcoated his Islamist beliefs with constant references to freedom and democracy. But he never hid that he was in favour of a Muslim Brotherhood arc throughout the Middle East. His recurring plea to bin Salman in his columns was to embrace not western-style democracy, but the rise of political Islam which the Arab Spring had inadvertently given rise to. For Khashoggi, secularism was the enemy.

The Washington Post was happy to provide a forum for a member of a terror network that is responsible for murdering countless Christians and Jews.

The media is hysterically attacking a Saudi reformer (to some degree) in support of an Islamist.

Everything it's telling you is a lie.

It was Yasin Aktay — a former MP for Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) — whom Khashoggi told his fiancée to call if he did not emerge from the consulate. The AKP is, in effect, the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. His most trusted friend, then, was an adviser to President Erdogan, who is fast becoming known as the most vicious persecutor of journalists on earth. Khashoggi never meaningfully criticised Erdogan. So we ought not to see this as the assassination of a liberal reformer.

And it gets worse.

Most of the Islamic clerics in Saudi Arabia who have been imprisoned over the past two years — Khashoggi’s friends — have historic ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Khashoggi had therefore emerged as a de facto leader of the Saudi branch. Due to his profile and influence, he was the biggest political threat to bin Salman’s rule outside of the royal family.

And worse.

And that may have been the fatal snub, not least because Khashoggi had earlier this year established a new political party in the US called Democracy for the Arab World Now, which would support Islamist gains in democratic elections throughout the region. Bin Salman’s nightmare of a Khashoggi-led Islamist political opposition was about to become a reality.

This is what the media and those politicians stupid enough to be shrieking about Khashoggi support.

Jamal Khashoggi Blamed 9/11 on US Support for Israel

"A Muslim cannot be happy with the suffering of others. Even if this suffering is that of Americans"

There's a reason that the media loved Jamal Khashoggi, the Muslim Brotherhood member and Osama bin Laden pal. And there's a reason that it's mourning his supposed disappearance.

Here, after September 11, Jamal Khashoggi blames the Muslim terrorist attacks on America's support for Israel.

Americans want unconditional condemnation of the horrible attacks that happened in their skies and on their land. They also want total cooperation in their fight against terror according to their own definition of what terrorism is and exactly who the terrorists are. But Saudi Arabia will not give in to such demands.

America's definition of terrorism apparently differs sharply from the Muslim Brotherhood member's definition.

Saudis tend to link the ugliness of what happened in New York and Washington with what has happened and continues to happen in Palestine. It is time that the United States comes to understand the effect of its foreign policy and the consequences of that policy. But unfortunately such rationalisation is still not part of the American reality.

In other words, Americans had it coming for supporting Israel.

A Muslim cannot be happy with the suffering of others. Even if this suffering is that of Americans who neglected the suffering of Palestinians for half a century.

The theme comes up again later in Khashoggi's rant.

The Saudis haven't forgotten that only days before the terrible crimes in New York, there was an art exhibition on the streets of that city in support of what New Yorkers saw as the plight of the Israelis. We can't understand why no one thought of depicting the plight of the Palestinians, who are the occupied community. Despite our unhappiness with such actions of utter ignorance, Saudis have all expressed deep condemnation of the September 11 crimes.

Big of them, isn't it.

We should be equally big by expressing condemnation of whoever disposed of Jamal, whether it was the Saudis or his Turkish pals staging a little false flag operation, and then decide that we really need to discuss the definitions of disappearance and missing.

And then wonder whether Jamal sufficiently cared about the plight of the Tibetans.

While Jewish Lefties Advocate for Khashoggi, He Urged Saudi King to Fight Israel

The outcry over Jamal Khashoggi, an old friend of Osama bin Laden and a member of the Hitler-loving Muslim Brotherhood, has reached certain Jewish organizations and pundits.

It should stop.

One of Khashoggi's differences with the new Saudi king had to do with the Jewish State.

While the Saudis were engaged in a certain amount of political outreach to Israel, Jamal Khashoggi wanted to see the Saudis ally with the Muslim Brotherhood.

And move against Israel.

"Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman should get rid of his complex against the Muslim Brotherhood and stop treating them as the enemy or a threat to Saudi Arabia," he said.

"This is a big mistake."

Khashoggi, who spoke to Al Jazeera from Washington, DC, expressed hope that Saudi Arabia would go back to assume its leadership of the Arab world and shift its focus to the causes that are very important to the Arabs, mainly to support the Palestinians in their struggle against Israel.

He deplored the authorities' decision to allow some in the Saudi news media to express support for Israel against the Palestinians, while journalists and intellectuals known to support the Palestinian cause were put in jail or felt afraid to speak out.

So much for the myth of Khashoggi as a supporter of the free press.

Jamal Khashoggi was Bin Laden Pal, Mourned His Death, Vouched for Terror Funder

Media martyr Jamal Khashoggi is being described as a political dissident.

Sure. So were Hitler, Khomeini and Osama bin Laden.

By no coincidence, Jamal Khashoggi was an old friend of Osama bin Laden.

In early 1990 Bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia and gave a lecture in which he predicted that Saddam Hussein would invade Kuwait.

Jamal Khashoggi, who had travelled extensively with Bin Laden in Afghanistan, attended the talk and afterwards asked his old friend how he could be so certain of the future.

"He recited a verse from the Koran," recalls Jamal.

"The verse means the one who practises jihad for God, for Allah, God will show them the right path. I wasn't comfortable about it. He had given himself the position of 'I am seeing things because God is directing me towards it'. That was the first time I felt that Osama began to have an inflated ego."

Jamal lost touch with Bin Laden in the mid-1990s and Khaled in the early 1990s as both completely rejected his ideology.

Although it has been many years since either of them saw Bin Laden, both admitted feeling sad at the death of their old friend in a raid by US forces in Pakistan earlier this month.

The media spins this as Jamal being a moderate. Only insofar as tactics go.

He was a Muslim Brotherhood member and continued backing the Jihadist network.

Under Muhammad bin Salman, the hitherto ambiguous Saudis now side with the Emiratis. He speaks of a “triangle of evil” encompassing Iran, IS and the Muslim Brotherhood. As such he seems to be drawing a dividing line between Arab states (and tame salafists) on one side, and all forms of Islamism on the other—be they non-violent Brothers or jihadists. “It is a crazy analysis about the threat of a pan-Islamic empire,” says Jamal Khashoggi, a former editor of al-Watan, a Saudi-owned newspaper, who now works as a columnist in exile in America. “He treats IS and the Brotherhood as the same thing—the only difference being that IS tried to create the caliphate immediately by violence while the Brotherhood wants to create the caliphate slowly, through democracy.”

Although the Brotherhood never seemed very strong in the Gulf, its election victory in Egypt in 2012 unnerved Gulf rulers. Saudi Arabia and the UAE enthusiastically supported the coup that overthrew President Muhammad Morsi of the Brotherhood, not least because he was moving closer to Iran. For Mr Khashoggi, the campaign against the Brothers is an attempt to extinguish the last embers of the Arab spring: “Democracy and political Islam go together.”

That's that "democratic" Caliphate.

And here's Khashoggi vouching for an alleged terror funder for Al Qaeda.

Yet Mr. Khalifa is unsure how long he will enjoy these freedoms. He is a wanted man, believed by analysts and intelligence agencies, including the FBI and CIA, to have links to the heart of Al Qaeda. Using charities in the Philippines as a cover, Khalifa is alleged to have funded the radical Islamic group Abu Sayyaf. He is also said to have spearheaded plots including a foiled 1995 plan to hijack planes and crash them into the Pentagon and CIA headquarters - widely seen as a blueprint for the Sept. 11 attacks.

The victims of Sept. 11 have named Khalifa in their multibillion dollar lawsuit for damages.

Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi columnist whose views are aired in the Western media, is a Khalifa supporter.

"I know Jamal very well and there is no way I believe he is involved [with Al Qaeda]," says Mr. Khashoggi.

This is the media's new martyr. If the Saudis disposed of him, they seem to have gotten rid of a terrorist mouthpiece.

End Of 17-Year War Is Near As U.S. Officials Agree To Meet With Taliban Leaders

Almost since I can remember, the U.S. has been at war on terror in the middle east but now U.S. officials have finally agreed to a meeting with Afghan Taliban officials. The meeting could see the officials from both sides discuss a possible negotiation to the end of the 17-year war. Officials from the Afghan Taliban say that the United States has agreed to discuss the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan in a one on one meeting in Qatar.

A precursory meeting already took place in Doha on Friday where representatives from the armed terrorist group and U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad discussed the Taliban's conditions to ending the nearly two-decade-long war. "Six US delegates arrived in Doha to have a meeting with our Taliban leaders and agreed to discuss all issues, including the pullout of foreign troops," a Taliban official said. "But, it was a preliminary meeting and all issues were discussed in general, not in detail."

In 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump increased the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan as part of a new and more aggressive strategy against the armed group. Currently, there are around 14,000 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, something which the Taliban has said is an obstacle to negotiating peace in the country.

The Taliban's conditions for peace in Afghanistan include the withdrawal of all foreign troops, lifting the sanctions on its leaders, and the release of imprisoned Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. The armed group also seeks to establish an official political office.

The U.S. actually requested a Taliban office be established in Doha in 2013 to facilitate peace talks but it was quickly shut down after coming under pressure over a flag hung outside the office which was also flown during the Taliban's rule of Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai halted all peace talks over the flag issue and said his office was presenting itself as an unofficial embassy for a government which was in exile and not officially recognized by Karzai's administration.

The flag was removed and the office has been left empty with no future announcements about its possible reopening. Negotiations have been forced to move elsewhere in Doha while U.S. officials in Kabul and Zalmay Khalilzad were among those present in the Qatari capital.

The meeting marked the second time that U.S. officials met with the Taliban leaders in Qatar. The first meeting occurred in July and US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Alice Wells oversaw negotiations. Khalilzad was recently appointed as U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation in September.

During his time in the new role, Khalilzad has met with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates in an effort to renew talks with the Taliban directly. The group has been known as Afghanistan's largest armed militia that was crushed during the U.S. led invasion in 2001. The Taliban has repeatedly turned down opportunities to talk with the Afghan government calling them "U.S. puppets".

The U.S. announced it was ready to begin direct negotiations with the Taliban in July and to "discuss the role of international forces". Former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef confirmed the U.S. decision to discuss pulling out troops from Afghanistan.

Says bin laden rejected his ideology, I'd say Khashoggi had a hand in setting bin laden up as the 911 patsy as the Zionists and MB are working hand in glove. Knowing bin laden as he did he would've known of his kidney problems and that he died long before the staged BS.
