Khashoggi Was No Critic of Saudi Regime

The disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist, in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last week has generated huge international publicity, but unsurprisingly, little in Saudi-controlled, Arab media. The Washington Post, for whom Khashoggi wrote, and other Western media, have kept the story alive, increasing the pressure on Riyadh to explain its role in the affair.

It’s been odd to read about Khashoggi in Western media. David Hirst in The Guardian claimed Khashoggi merely cared about absolutes such as “truth, democracy, and freedom”. Human Rights Watch’s director described him as representing “outspoken and critical journalism.”

But did he pursue those absolutes while working for Saudi princes?

Khashoggi was a loyal member of the Saudi propaganda apparatus. There is no journalism allowed in the kingdom: there have been courageous Saudi women and men who attempted to crack the wall of rigid political conformity and were persecuted and punished for their views. Khashoggi was not among them.

Some writers suffered while Khashoggi was their boss at Al-Watan newspaper. Khashoggi—contrary to what is being written—was never punished by the regime, except lightly two years ago, when Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) banned him from tweeting and writing for Al-Hayat, the London-based, pan-Arab newspaper owned by Saudi Prince Khalid bin Sultan.

By historical contrast, Nasir As-Sa`id was a courageous secular Arab Nationalist writer who fled the kingdom in 1956 and settled in Cairo, and then Beirut. He authored a massive (though tabloid-like) volume about the history of the House of Saud. He was unrelenting in his attacks against the Saudi royal family.

For this, the Saudi regime paid a corrupt PLO leader in Beirut (Abu Az-Zaim, tied to Jordanian intelligence) to get rid of As-Said. He kidnapped As-Sa`id from a crowded Beirut street in 1979 and delivered him to the Saudi embassy there. He was presumably tortured and killed (some say his body was tossed from a plane over the “empty quarter” desert in Saudi Arabia). Such is the track record of the regime.

Khashoggi was an ambitious young reporter who knew that to rise in Saudi journalism you don’t need professionalism, courage, or ethics. In Saudi Arabia, you need to attach yourself to the right prince. Early on, Khashoggi became close to two of them: Prince Turki Al-Faysal (who headed Saudi intelligence) and his brother, Prince Khalid Al-Faysal, who owned Al-Watan (The Motherland) where Khashoggi had his first (Arabic) editing job.

Khashoggi distinguished himself with an eagerness to please and an uncanny ability to adjust his views to those of the prevailing government. In the era of anti-Communism and the promotion of fanatical jihad in Afghanistan and elsewhere, Khashoggi was a true believer. He fought with Osama bin Laden and promoted the cause of the Mujahideen.

Haiti: Nearly a Million People Took to the Streets. They Want the Western-imposed government out of Haiti

Janjak Desalin (Jean Jacques Dessalines), said, “I Want the Assets of the Country to be Equitably Divided” and for that he was assassinated, 212 years ago today.

Nearly a million Haitians took to the streets nationwide in Haiti today, October 17, 2018. The day marked the 212th year anniversary of the assassination of Haiti’s liberator and founding father Janjak Desalin by the mulatto sons of France and their slave-making European fathers and white settler colonists. The comical colonial co-option was obvious as many of the suspected criminals/Bafyòti who are at the heart of Haiti’s neocolonial corruption and who are accused of stealing state funds, entered the demonstrations, also asking for the stolen monies to be returned and for a stop to impunity! But the people know who they are. The Haitian population assures they are mobilized in an unprecedented manner and won’t be distracted…. Haitians died today. They want the Western-imposed government out of Haiti. They want an end to impunity. The people of Haiti want the $3.8 billion PetroCaribe funds returned to Haiti with a legitimate government ruling.

Honor to Defile – Kouwon pou Defile, the warrior mother who gathered the pieces of our Liberator and held on to our dignity on that October day, 212 years ago, as Aset did for Kmt. Thank you Defile!

If I am a whole human being today I have to say: Thank you Desalin! End the Unjust System.

***

If you read the Associated Press reporting for today on Haiti, Haitians protest alleged misuse of Petrocaribe funds, you’ll see the complicit media are at it again. How is it possible that the significance of October 17th to Haitians is NEVER really mentioned in this Associated Press article for today. At least 7 Haitians died today. They did not die in vain or just because they WANTED to get shot or violent. They want the Western-imposed government out of Haiti, their resources to be used for local Haiti development, infrastructure, education and health, not flown to foreign coffers or used for the sole comfort of the few Western puppets imposed on them… But the racist Associated Press reporting fails to make any sense.

Won’t explain about the Digicel’s monopoly and role in the fake elections; won’t point to the Obama-Clinton, consultant-create fake elections that put in a far-right colonial puppet government in Haiti to services the oligarchs, sell out the country.

No real context was given other the imagery of the violent Haitians throwing rocks and burning tires. The magnitude of the popular revolt wasn’t conveyed. The AP article also fails to mention the United Nations is in Haiti making millions for 15-years training the police who shot the unarmed demonstrators and that said same United Nations also transported the doctored ballots that gave Haiti the unelected, Western-supported Jovenel Moise, the people did not elect, call “legal bandit” and the incriminated money-laundering president!

Palestinian Analyst: US Occupied by Zionists

Palestinian historian and analyst Jafar Ramini says that powerful Zionist lobbies are very influential in American politics to the extent that any American politician has to seek approval from the lobby in order to have a chance of being elected.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with FNA, Jafar Ramini said he believes that the powerful Zionist lobby controls American politics and consequently the American support provides the Israeli regime with the feeling of impunity to continue with its crimes against the Palestinians.

Commenting on the Saudi crown prince’s controversial remarks on formal relations with Israel, the Palestinian historian said that Mohammad bin Salman’s hunger for power has made him betray the Palestinian cause and to side with Israel.

Jafar Ramini is a Palestinian historian, writer and analyst on Middle Eastern affairs living in London. He has also shared his expert comments on many international news outlets such as Press TV and Radio Sputnik.

FNA has conducted an interview with Jafar Ramini about Trump’s relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem Al-Quds and also the recent killings of Palestinian protesters by Israeli army.

Below you will find the full text of the interview.

Q: Delivering on his campaign promise and in defiance of all global warnings, Donald Trump moved US embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds. Many believe that this move by Trump has effectively killed fantasies that Washington is a neutral party in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. What do you see as the reasons behind the embassy move?

A: These are the problems: American elections and Jewish financial contributions and power. That’s how the Zionist lobby in America got Harry Truman to endorse their colonial project in Palestine in 1948 and the trend continues. During the last 70 years we had one honorable exception in the White House who saw the danger of Zionism to his country and the world and he tried to do something about it. That was the late President of the United States, John F Kennedy. And we know what happened to him. Even when Israel deliberately attacked an American navy ship, USS Liberty in 1967, killing 34 American servicemen and wounding 171 others, not only did America do nothing towards this blatant aggression, but the Johnson Administration also tried to hide it. Since then the Zionist lobby that President Kennedy warned about has grown in numbers, power and influence. AIPAC is so powerful in American politics that any aspiring American politician has to seek its approval in order to have any chance of being elected. Though Trump said he did not need Jewish money for his campaign he readily accepted it. As a reward for his illegal act on Jerusalem, Sheldon Adelson, the Jewish billionaire gambling magnate, gave the Republican Party $35 million. As the English saying goes, “If you take the King’s shilling you do the King’s bidding".

Q: Since the beginning of the protests dubbed as the “Great Return March”, Israeli forces have been killing and injuring many Palestinian civilians, including the protesters, members of the press and medical workers. It seems as if the regime in Tel Aviv felt an atmosphere of impunity where it could act beyond all international laws and conventions. Where do you think this feeling of immunity comes from?

A: When you have the most powerful empire known to man in your back pocket naturally you would feel emboldened and immune. This is how Ariel Sharon, ex Prime Minister of Israel, described the Israeli relationship with America in 2001 when Shimon Peres, the then Foreign Minister, mentioned that if Israel did not stop attacking Palestinians they might endanger their relationship with the United States of America. In a fit of anger Sharon said to Peres, "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it.” The current Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu was video recorded saying, in an unguarded moment with illegal settlers, “The USA is easily moved.” Of course Israel feels much more than immune, it feels protected and encouraged. The irony here is that the people of the USA do not realize that they too are occupied.

“F*cking Communist!” Pelosi Cursed Out by Cuban-American Protesters For Campaigning with Fidel Castro-Loving Dem Donna Shalala

Protesters cursed at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in Florida earlier this week as she walked into a campaign event for Democrat Congressional hopeful Donna Shalala in Coral Gables, reported the New York Post.

Democrat Donna Shalala praised Fidel Castro and fought sanctions against Venezuela’s murderous dictatorial regime.

This angered the freedom-loving Cuban and Venezuelan Americans living in this district in Florida and they came out to protest this week.

The protesters, many of whom are of Cuban descent were screaming at Nancy Pelosi calling her a “communist” in both English and Spanish.

Pelosi didn’t say a word as she entered the building whilst protesters screamed, “F*ck Nancy Pelosi!”

“You don’t belong here you fcking communist fck!” one protester yelled. “Fck you and your fcking Democrats.”

The crowd of protesters then began chanting, “Socialism sucks!” and pounded on the door.

The Catholic Church and Pedophilia: Trafficking Children as Sex Slaves

In the years we have covered the topic of “medical kidnapping” and child abductions through child social services, we have exposed the corruption behind these “legal” kidnappings, and the reasons why they happen.

Most of these foundational articles are found on our MedicalKidnap.com About Us page.

One of the reasons, tragically, that children are kidnapped and taken from their families is for child sex trafficking, which some have reported brings in more money than the illegal drugs and illegal gun trade, combined.

Sadly, religious institutions, many of which have their own child social services, can be among the worst offenders when it comes to trafficking and kidnapping children.

Health Impact News investigative reporter John Thomas takes an in-depth look into the child sex scandals of the Roman Catholic Church in this article, the first one of a three-part series on this topic.

Liberals Warned to 'Prepare for Disappointment' from Mueller Report

Politico's Darren Samuelsohn writes that Trump's critics, having "spent the past 17 months anticipating what some expect will be among the most thrilling events of their lives: special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on Russian 2016 election interference," will, instead, be in for a disappointment.

Samuelsohn interviewed several prosecutors familiar with how the special counsel's office works and discovered that Mueller's report will not only not contain bombshell revelations leading to Trump's impeachment, but will probably not contain any evidence at all of collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

This should have been clear for months just from leaks from the investigation, as well as what we know from court records. The churning in the media about the impending indictment of Trump and subsequent impeachment has been a mirage. Some of the illusion was self induced. Some of it was certainly deliberately ginned-up outrage to elicit excitement from the Democratic base.

But any way you look at it, Mueller's report is likely to be a bust for the left.

But government investigation experts are waving a giant yellow caution flag now to warn that Mueller’s no-comment mantra is unlikely to give way to a tell-all final report and an accompanying blitz of media interviews and public testimony on Capitol Hill.

“He won’t be a good witness,” said Paul Rosenzweig, a former senior counsel to independent counsel Kenneth Starr now working as a senior fellow at the nonprofit R Street Institute. “His answers will be, ‘yes’, ‘no’ and ‘maybe.’”

For starters, Mueller isn’t operating under the same ground rules as past high-profile government probes, including the Reagan-era investigation into Iranian arms sale and whether President Bill Clinton lied during a deposition about his extramarital affair with a White House intern. Those examinations worked under the guidelines of a post-Watergate law that expired in 1999 that required investigators to submit findings to Congress if they found impeachable offenses, a mandate that led to Starr’s salacious report that upended Clinton’s second term.

Hackers breach HealthCare.gov system, get data on 75,000

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government computer system that interacts with HealthCare.gov was hacked earlier this month, compromising the sensitive personal data of some 75,000 people, officials said Friday.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services made the announcement late in the afternoon ahead of a weekend, a time slot agencies often use to release unfavorable developments.

Officials said the hacked system was shut down and technicians are working to restore it before sign-up season starts Nov. 1 for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

About 10 million people currently have private coverage under former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

More than 75,000 expected for sold-out President Donald Trump rally with GOP Sen Ted Cruz in Houston

More than 75,000 people have signed up for a President Donald Trump rally in Houston at a location that can hold only about 18,000, the Houston Chronicle reported Saturday. Trump is holding the rally with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who is facing a re-election challenge from U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

On Friday, 77,854 people were already signed up for the rally, according to the report.

Attendees must have tickets and will be admitted according to their order in line before the doors open.

“Keep in mind that once the capacity is met, you won’t get in whether you have a ticket or not,” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo announced in the Houston Chronicle.

The Trump campaign is reportedly not considering moving the event. The event was already moved once – from the NRG Arena to the Toyota Center, the Texas Tribune reported Thursday. The NRG Arena has a capacity of about 10,000, compared to about 18,000 at the Toyota Center.

What about security?

Security surrounding the event is expected to be tight and Houston’s police department will be “fully mobilized,” Acevedo said.

“We will have many, many officers out and about,” Acevedo told the Houston Chronicle. “We will have officers on the high ground, low ground, in the air. We will have officers in plainclothes, we will have undercover officers, we will have react teams.”

Federal, state and county level officers will also be on hand, along with the usual Secret Service detail for Trump.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Trump’s Texas campaign chairman, are also scheduled to speak at the rally.

Acevedo cautioned protesters and counter-protesters to “exercise their First Amendment rights in a lawful manner.”

“You would be foolish not to,” the police chief said.

Anything else?

Police will begin closing off streets around the Toyota Center early Monday morning, Acevedo said, with closures on Bell, Jackson, La Branch and Polk streets near the arena. Other road closures are expected to be announced over the weekend.

Attendees are likely to begin lining up overnight for the rally, Acevedo said. Large crowds are expected around the Toyota Center on Monday and people who work downtown should plan for delays, he addded.

The event starts around 5 p.m. and doors will open about two to three hours prior.

The weather in Houston is expected to be rainy on Monday, with temperatures in the high 50s to low 60s.

SYRIA UPDATE

Syria demands international investigation into US-led Coalition’s attacks on its territories

On Friday October 19 2018, the illegal US-led Coalition targeted with warplanes residential buildings in al-Sousa and al-Bubadran villages in Deir Ezzor southeastern countryside, killing 62 civilians, mostly women and children, and injuring an unidentified number, some are in a critical condition.

The ministry reminded of earlier letters in which it indicated to the Coalition escalating its bloody attacks against innocent civilians and its use of weapons of mass destruction and weapons with an indiscriminate impact such as white phosphorus in bombarding residential areas in Raqqa, Deir Ezzor, Aleppo and Hasaka.

US-led Coalition Killed Over 40 Civilians In Euphrates Valley In Last 24 Hours

The US-led coalition and its proxy, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), have not commented on the new reports about the massacre in al-Susah so far. Usually, the coalition addresses such incidents within a few months claiming that there were no civilian casualties or their number was very low.

These violent airstrikes are clearly an attempt by the US-led coalition to support SDF fighters, who are facing a strong resistance from remaining ISIS fighters in the Euphrates Valley. The coalition operation there has been ongoing from more than a month now without any significant progress.

Militants Attack Syrian Army In Northern Lattakia In Another Challenge To Deconfliction Agreement

In another clear violation of the Russian-Turkish deconfliction agreement, unknown militants destroyed a 14,5mm machine gun of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the northern Lattakia countryside with an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) on October 20, according to several Syrian opposition sources.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. However, local observer believe that the attack was carried out by al-Qaeda-affiliated Horas al-Din or Ajnad al-Kavkaz. Both groups are mainly stationed in the opposition-held areas in northern Lattakia and northwestern Idlib.

Judge Orders Mueller To Prove Russian Company Meddled In Election

A Washington federal judge on Thursday ordered special counsel Robert Mueller's team to clarify election meddling claims lodged against a Russian company operated by Yevgeny Prigozhin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Bloomberg.

Concord Management and Consulting, LLC. - one of three businesses indicted by Mueller in February along with 13 individuals for election meddling, surprised the special counsel in April when they actually showed up in court to fight the charges. Mueller's team tried to delay Concord from entering the case, arguing that thee Russian company not been properly served, however Judge Dabney Friedrich denied the request - effectively telling prosecutors 'well, they're here.'
