Khashoggi Murderer Dies in Car Crash – What a Coincidence

By comment

Like a scripted James Bond film or Mission Impossible, is the evidence being “erased?”

from Zero Hedge:

Khashoggi Murder Suspect Dies In “Suspicious Car Accident” 

A 31-year-old lieutenant in the Saudi Royal Air Force said to have participated in the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi died in a “suspicious car accident” in Riyadh, according to Turkish media.

Mashal Saad al-Bostani was reportedly on a 15-man hit squad dispatched to Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul Consulate in Turkey on October 2 during Khashoggi’s visit, before the team quickly left the country, according to daily Yeni Şafak.

Albostani entered Turkey at 1:45 a.m. local time (2245GMT). He stayed at the Wyndham Grand Hotel and left the country at 9:46 p.m. local time (1846GMT) on a private jet which belonged to the Sky Prime Aviation company. –Yeni Şafak

WND Exclusive – SAUDIS ALLYING WITH … ISRAEL?

By comment

It seems that Saudi Arabia may be allying with the lesser Satan, Israel. America is, of course, the Great Satan.

For decades Saudi Arabia has been an unspoken bad seed, a major state-sponsor of terror and the genesis of the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s been a toss-up as to who is really the No. 1 terror sponsor – the Iranian mullahs or the Saudi Wahhabists.

It’s been surmised by some experts that a major reason the Saudis fund and export terror is simple self-preservation. If we finance the radicals, they won’t turn on us. This is at least in part, as we may recall, why the kingdom funded al-Qaeda when bin Laden was the head cheese. They literally funded him on the stipulation that he would not return to Saudi Arabia. This has served to keep the nation relatively stable, even when those around them were under siege. The radical Islamists chose not to bite off the hand that was feeding them. read more

Saudi Arabia is looking toward a post-oil future by sinking some US$500 billion into a massive, ultra-futuristic megacity project it calls Neom (or Neo-Mostaqbal; new future). Saudi Crown Prince Mohhamed bin Salman announced the giant project on Tuesday, a brand new city on the intersection of three countries, where “there is no room for old thinking.” read more

Podcast – Texas Valedictorian is an Illegal Alien – California Inmate Demands to Become a Woman – The U.N. is Blackmailed

By comment

In this episode I discuss a female Valedictorian from a Texas High School, who appears to be the model American citizen – except she isn’t. She’s an illegal alien, not quietly living in the shadows as we’ve been told by so many on the left. Instead she proudly and unashamedly tweeted she was “undocumented.”

In segment two I discuss the absurd state of California – how an inmate, in prison for life has demanded and has been granted by Federal Judge the right to have the state pay for his gender-reassignment surgery. And the insanity doesn’t stop there.

Segment three concerns the United Nations and its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, allowing itself to be extorted by Saudi Arabia. The country was to be blacklisted by the U.N. for their role in the conflict in Yemen, but the Saudis threatened to pull their funding and leave the United Nations if Ban didn’t relent and switch his position. I wonder what happened. read more

The Coming War Between Iran and Saudi Arabia Was Prophesized

By comment

by: the Common Constitutionalist

Many smart people in the know are rightly worried that war may be inevitable in the Middle East. They are right to be worried, as this time it will not be a proxy war. This one will be a direct conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia for Muslim supremacy of the region.

But this is not about two nations. It is Iranian Shiites against Saudi Sunni Wahhabists. This war was always inevitable. There is no diplomacy that can or could ever have stopped it. No amount of intercession by Europe, Russia or the United States can curtail it.

No matter what the Saudis do, they cannot prevent it, for this was prophesized long ago. This war will be the result of the Shiite End Times Prophecy. read more

You Say Islamist – I Say Wahhabist

By comment

by: the Common Constitutionalist

According to Saudi’s Arabia’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Asheikh, both ISIS and al-Qaeda are enemy number one. I guess he couldn’t choose just one. Maybe it’s one of those 1 and 1A kinds of things.

Off topic as it is – who chooses the names for these characters anyway? Do they get to choose? If so, why must they always be so long? Could you imagine having to endorse a check or sign one of the tiny electronic keypads at the grocery store – or signing autographs for the Grand Mufti groupies? Sheesh!

Anyway, the Mufti – oh excuse me – the Grand Mufti stated emphatically that, “The ideas of extremism, radicalism and terrorism … have nothing to do with Islam and (their proponents) are the enemy number one of Islam.”

Yet about the time he was condemning the two terror groups for their barbarism, he was signing off on one of the largest mass executions in the country’s history. They executed 47 “criminals.” Among these criminals was a Shiite cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr (again with the names). This did not please Shiite Iran, as response to the executions, they attacked and burned the Saudi embassy in Tehran.

No one knows exactly what  their “crimes” were – only that the verdict against the “47 criminals was based on Allah’s Book and the Prophet’s Sunnah.” read more

Another Suspected Terrorist Is Freed

By comment1 Comment

by: the Common Constitutionalist

After 13 years in captivity, the last Briton has been freed from Guantánamo Bay. Shaker Aamer has been held at Gitmo since 2002. He was captured in Afghanistan in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks, where he claims he was a simply there doing charity work.

He was accused of aiding Al Qaeda, was handed over to U.S. Forces in February of 2002 and transferred to Gitmo. Now he has been freed and arrived back on British soil yesterday.

For his incarceration, the British government is expected to compensate him to the tune of about 1,000,000 pounds, approximately $1.5 million – provided of course by the British taxpayer. There are no reports, at least that I can find, explaining why the 46-year-old Aamer is being compensated by the British government. It appears they had nothing to do with his capture or incarceration. Reports only conclude that this is the approximate amount that others before him have received.

Interestingly, Mr. Aamer is not a British citizen. He’s Saudi Arabian, who happened to reside in London, with his wife and four children, prior to his “charity” work in Afghanistan. The “charity” work he was doing over there was never disclosed, although he was originally accused of having links to Al Qaeda and in his files he is described as having been a “close associate of Osama bin Laden” who fought in the battle of Tora Bora. He was suspected of leading a unit of fighters in the country, for which his family was said to have been regularly paid by Osama bin Laden. But I’m sure he was just an innocent charity worker caught up in all the confusion – the fog of war and all. read more

The Saudi’s Are Hiring

By comment

by: the Common Constitutionalist

So you say you need a job. Maybe you’re one of the over 93 million unemployed Americans. And to add to that misery, you don’t have a ton of marketable skills. Perhaps you’re just starting out – willing to start at ground level and work your way up the ladder.

You’ve applied everywhere and still nothing. Well, maybe it’s time to expand your horizons – expand your job search area – perhaps even overseas. Heck, you say anything would be better than your current situation.

Well buck up – for there is a country who is hiring. So far, there are only eight job openings, but these jobs require no schooling and no experience. One hint though: if, as a kid, you grew up playing with toy swords, that may be a plus.

See, Saudi Arabia is currently advertising for eight new executioners. The executioner duties are to dispense justice as directed by the Saudi Sharia courts. Specific duties will be amputations and beheadings. read more

Has Obama Inadvertently Brokered a Middle East Alliance

By comment

by: the Common Constitutionalist

Back in 2013 the London’s Sunday Times reported that “Israel and Saudi Arabia were working together to bring down Iran’s nuclear activities.’ Clearly, having a mutual interest in stopping the threat of a hegemonic and nuclear Iran has made the two unlikely allies.”

In fact these enemies have aligned before, becoming foul weather allies (albeit indirectly) when necessary, always against a common foe. Today it’s a

likely nuclear Iran – in the 1960s the common enemy was Egypt under dictator Gamal Abdul Nasser during the Yemen Civil War (1962-1967). In 1964 the Saudis enlisted the help of Israel in flying weapons and supplies, code name Operation Leopard, to the royalist insurgent army in Yemen fighting against 70,000 Egyptian troops and the hegemony of Nasser.

Again the two countries found themselves aligned, this time in 1991, during the first Gulf war as Saddam Hussein lobbed Scud missiles into both countries.

War does make for strange bedfellows. For that, some may call into question Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent and prescient pronouncement that the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, as hypocritical and just so much theater. But Israel and the Saudis have never become permanent or direct allies and the Israelis have not fought on behalf of the Saudis but only with her own national security interests in mind. read more
