How Trump and Netanyahu forced Mohammed bin Salman to draw a line on Palestine

from Middle East Eye

... When Trump revealed his plan to own Gaza after the mass transfer of the Palestinians, he said that the bill for the clean up operation would go to the Gulf states, by which he meant Saudi Arabia. This particularly irked Riyadh. 

Trump also bragged that Saudi Arabia would normalise with Israel without a Palestinian state. "So, Saudi Arabia is going to be very helpful. And they have been very helpful. They want peace in the Middle East. It's very simple," Trump said.

It took Riyadh just 45 minutes to reply in what has become known as the dawn statement.

It left little room for manoeuvre.

"His Royal Highness emphasised that Saudi Arabia will continue its relentless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and will not establish relations with Israel without that."

Larry Wilkerson LIES Again: Supporting ANOTHER Regime Change Op

Col. Larry is back to his old deceitful tricks, doing his thing in support of our oligarchs' efforts to make the world safe for neoliberalism.

This time Larry Wilkerson is pushing a regime change operation in Saudi Arabia just like he did back in 2002 and 2003 with the Iraq regime change operation. His BS is absolutely insulting and the fact that he delivers this propaganda on the Real News network is even more insulting.

Pentagon says Riyadh is too important to whip, rolls out $15bn THAAD arms deal instead

from RT   (H/T Whitney)

The US rarely has 'unblemished' partners so it will pour more defensive weapons into Saudi Arabia despite outrage over Khashoggi and Yemen, Pentagon chief James Mattis admitted as the nation handed the kingdom a big new deal.

The most-recent major US-Saudi arms deal was rolled out on Wednesday. Riyadh is seeking to get THAAD air defense missile systems, and the terms of the purchase were quietly formalized this week, the State Department announced. Under the $15 billion contract, Riyadh will receive 44 THAAD launchers, missiles and related equipment.

The news of a yet another lucrative contract came the very same day Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rushed to defend the kingdom against the mounting anger in the Senate over the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the bloody war in Yemen. Speaking at a closed-door briefing, they explained that Saudi Arabia is simply too important to scrap existing bonds.

The Pentagon's chief called Riyadh "fundamental" to regional and Israeli security, as well as crucial for the US' own interests.

"We are seldom free to work with unblemished partners," Mattis bluntly admitted. He went on to argue that the ties with the kingdom "cannot be dismissed" even as Washington condemned Khashoggi's death...

Sen. Murphy from Lockheed Martin Wants a New Investigation of Trump (now that Mueller thing is done)

Chris Murphy, "trumpslayer" and leader of the fake resistance, is now calling for a NEW investigation into President Trump now being owned, he claims, by Saudi Arabia... not Russia... like he previously claimed.

Of course, he fails to mention Lockheed Martin is pissed off because they didn't get to sell MbS 15 billion worth of useless THAAD missile systems and that same Lockheed Martin has a big-time presence in his home state of Connecticut.

Who Should Run America? An Elected President or the Parasitic CIA?

The CIA "report" is due out today but in actuality, the whole point of this is to force Trump to put pressure on the KSA to remove MbS from his place in line for the throne. They are doing this because he is not neoliberalizing the kingdom fast enough and is getting too close to Russia and China. Ultimately it all comes down to this: you might hate Trump but have you ever taken a close look at a country run by the CIA? Trust me when I say this: you don't want to live in a country run by these monsters and that is where we are headed if we don't demand someone stand up to these parasites pretty damn soon.

CIA's Mockingbird,the Washington Post, Cranks Up the Pressure on KSA to Buy THAAD

by Scott Creighton

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist." Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower

Nothing happens in a vacuum. And that is a fact.

The Washington Post has scribbled a new piece of baseless propaganda from the CIA yesterday which was IMMEDIATELY PARROTED by ALL WP assets on social media. It's FAKE NEWS and its being megaphoned just like all the "RussiaGaters" say lies about Killary were back in the lead up to the election of 2016. Of course... Twitter isn't shutting down their accounts (just sayin)

"riding the camel"?!? is that a racial slur from Laurence Tribe? Sure sounds like one.

When I saw all this effort and hyperbole coming from the MSM and their various lackeys on social media I figured the Washington Post MUST have come up with something significant on old Mohamed bin Salman (MbS) in order for them to be pushing this hard on it.

So I went and read the article. Imagine my surprise...

The Real Reason the Knives are Out for MBS

by Whitney Webb from Mint Press News

Amid a chorus of condemnation directed against his leadership following the slaying of controversial journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – popularly known by the moniker MBS – condemned Khashoggi’s murder in no uncertain terms on Wednesday, calling the deed a “heinous crime that cannot be justified” and promising “justice” for those who killed him. 

MBS’ statement came after dozens of media reports, the majority of which had cited anonymous sources from within the Turkish and U.S. governments, revealed the grisly details of the journalist’s final moments and the subsequent attempt by his killers to cover their tracks.
 
Yet, while MBS may expect the international calls for his ouster to lessen following his recent admission and apparent behind the scenes deal-making, he is likely mistaken. Indeed, much of the outrage directed at MBS for his alleged role in Khashoggi’s death has little to do with the murder itself, which is being used as a pretext to justify replacing MBS with a more “reliable” tyrant to serve as Saudi crown prince.

This is because the real reason the knives have come out for MBS is not a single extrajudicial killing – a practice the Saudis have long used with impunity – but instead the fact that, in the six weeks prior to Khashoggi’s sordid fate, MBS not only managed to anger the entire U.S. military-industrial complex, he also enraged the world’s most powerful financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs and CitiGroup...
