Turška policija: Saudijci so iz oporečnika naredili šiškebab

Jamal Khashoggi @ Wikipedia je šel v torek na saudski konzulat v Istanbulu po papirje, ki jih je potreboval za poroko. Od tedaj je pogrešan.

Viri v turški policiji zdaj pravijo, da so ga v konzulatu umorili in truplo odstranili. Menda je zanj poskrbela 15-članska ekipa, ki je že nazaj v SA. Jutri/danes bo tiskovka z več detajli.

“The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate,” one Turkish official told Reuters.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder,” two people with knowledge of the probe said Saturday.
Turkish investigators believe a 15-member team “came from Saudi Arabia. It was a preplanned murder,” said one of the people. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
They offered no specific evidence to back up the account.

Turkish police will release statement and CCTV footage within 48 hours regarding what they say is the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. So far, there has been no evidence. We're waiting for a horrible confirmation.

A trusted Turkish government source on L’Affaire Khashoggi, in reply to my text from two days ago: “The news are not good. And by not good, I mean terrible.”
I asked if I should take it to mean the worst, his response: “I would expect a detailed statement from our side very soon—by Monday at the latest.”
My understanding is that very few people are in the know. Those that are in the know are strictly embargoed from speaking. My sense, from our subsequent conversation, is that Ankara thinks JK was whisked away to Riyadh. Let’s wait and see.

Since this dropped out, I guess I can write more: Ankara thinks that the body was removed in a car belonging to an embassy staffer and whisked away to Riyadh, presumably using a private jet. There are people working overtime in Ankara, poring over footage from highway cams. I don’t think that they *know* that he is killed but assume so, as the rest of us do. My source, when I asked, said: “I highly doubt that you’d put someone in the trunk of a car to take them to a tea party.” Which is mostly true.

Also, if Khashoggi was indeed murdered by the Saudis, it’s *diabolically* smart of MbS to have it done in Turkey. Riyadh will blame it on a false-flag by the Turkey-Qatar-Iran axis, muddy the waters, and it’s going to be like the narrative wars after Ghouta gas attacks but worse.

Turkey and KSA are two of the busiest countries when it comes to computational propaganda in the Middle East. Right now and in the next days us data scientists will possibly observe the most significant troll/bot war in the region’s history.
It will also be one of the hardest to monitor as it requires language and context-specific historical misinfo expertise in two countries (plus English). Very eager to see how digital alliances will form up.

Saudi Arabia in the past 24 hours:
- Young economist & entrepreneur @essamz charged with terrorism & treason
- Death penalty sought for Muslim thinker @HsnFrhanALmalki
- Veteran journalist @JKhashoggi whereabouts unknown

With @realDonaldTrump giving MBS the space to do whatever the fuck he wants, and with Germany & Spain recently backing down diplomatically, there's *nobody* to push back. You don't fucking listen to us. You don't fucking care. We said the more you appease them the more shameless they'll become. We told you. You ignore us time after time. Who pays the price?

I said before that the next step after you enabled them time and time and time again is to get physical. If they get away with kidnapping the next step will be assassinations in your capitals, and I'm not joking even a little bit. For the record, MBS doesn't give a shit. So long he has Trump in his pocket, and so long the EU is silent (and/or selling him weapons), he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Every government that fails to speak out is complicit.

When I tweeted about assassinations, I did not expect that we'd be soon sharing reports about the premeditated murder of @JKhashoggi. Remember this moment, we're seeing the rise of a new Gaddafi - but one with deeper pockets and connections, and crucially, one who is a US ally.

Everyone who supported MBS, did PR for him, apologized for him, lobbied on his behalf, or made excuses for him at any point during or after his rise - you have a *lot* to answer for. You have enabled pure evil. You have contributed to the destruction of so many lives.

If the news are true, and the Saudi regime lured @JKhashoggi into one of their consulates to murder him, then the world should do what it failed to do after the Canada-Saudi spat - break ties with the Saudi regime and render it the pariah regime that it deserves to be.
Dictators can *not* be appeased. They take appeasement as permission. Like bullies, they will keep escalating until they get a punch in the face. With nobody willing to stand up to them, the worst may be yet to come.

P.s.: je sploh kakšen večji medij poročal o tem, kako je leta 2017 Savdska Arabija ugrabila predsednika Libanona?

Še v Sloveniji so poročali o tem. Menda ne naš dopisnik (oziroma: poročanje slovenskih medijev je tipično povzetek poročanja angleških in ameriških, in tam najpogosteje bbc/cnn/guardian).

Me preseneča, da si je Turška policija upala to obelodanit, sploh ob vseh okostnjakih v njihovi omari.

Kako nepričakovano. To so pač Saudijci, nimajo denarja za nadgradnjo njihovega VHS sistema.

Reports coming from #Turkey today hint that Jamal Khashoggi may be alive:

1-NBC's @RichardEngel citing Turkish officials said they're unsure if Khashoggi "been killed or sedated and taken away."

2-AKP adviser Yasin Aktay: We still hope he is alive

Saudi denies all allegations

Both U.K. and France foreign ministries issued statements of concern today.

US State Department has said in emails it's monitoring and concerned but no official statement yet.

Ex-NSA, zgovoren.

https://observer.com/2018/10/nsa-source...

What did U.S. intelligence and the White House know about the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi—and when did they know it? Those are the Top Secret questions haunting Washington right now. A National Security Agency official tells me that the codebreakers, as usual, have some answers.

...

I can confirm that the National Security Agency, America’s big ear, indeed intercepted Saudi communications that indicated Riyadh had something unpleasant in store for Khashoggi. Listening in on foreign governments, after all, is NSA’s main job, and that includes frenemies like Saudi Arabia as well as hostile regimes. At least a day before Khashoggi appeared at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, an NSA official told me, the agency had Top Secret information that Riyadh was planning something nefarious—though exactly what was not clear from the intercepts. This was deemed important because Khashoggi is a legal resident of the United States, and is therefore entitled to protection. According to the NSA official, this threat warning was communicated to the White House through official intelligence channels.

It needs to be asked what, if anything, the White House did with this Top Secret warning. Intelligence without action is merely expensive noise, and if no action was taken in this case, Congress should ask why not. If action was taken—meaning a warning was issued to Saudi officials to keep their hands of Khashoggi—and Riyadh ignored it, that too is something worth investigating. Saudi Arabia is a difficult ally of the United States, but our influence in Riyadh remains significant. This is particularly the case due to the close relationship between President Donald Trump’s administration and MBS, which is reported to be cordial and then some. At press time, the White House had not responded to a request for comment.

NSA did its highly classified job and provided the White House with threat information, direct from Saudi sources, which might have saved Jamal Khashoggi from whatever grim fate he met on October 2 at the hands of Saudi officials. If the Trump administration failed to take necessary action to protect a journalist and dissident who was resident in our country, the guilt in this case will not lie solely with Riyadh.

Kushner, who had been tasked with bringing about a deal between Israel and Palestine, was particularly engaged by information about the Middle East, according to a former White House official and a former U.S. intelligence professional.

In June, Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman ousted his cousin, then-Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, and took his place as next in line to the throne, upending the established line of succession. In the months that followed, the President’s Daily Brief contained information on Saudi Arabia’s evolving political situation, including a handful of names of royal family members opposed to the crown prince’s power grab, according to the former White House official and two U.S. government officials with knowledge of the report.

...

In late October, Jared Kushner made an unannounced trip to Riyadh, catching some intelligence officials off guard. “The two princes are said to have stayed up until nearly 4 a.m. several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy,” the Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported at the time.

What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorney’s spokesperson, denies having done so.

...

On November 4, a week after Kushner returned to the U.S., the crown prince, known in official Washington by his initials MBS, launched what he called an anti-corruption crackdown. The Saudi government arrested dozens of members of the Saudi royal family and imprisoned them in the Ritz-Carlton Riyadh, which was first reported in English by The Intercept. The Saudi figures named in the President’s Daily Brief were among those rounded up; at least one was reportedly tortured.

After Trump spoke, the White House said national security adviser John Bolton and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, had spoken to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the matter on Tuesday.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo followed up with his own call to the Crown Prince, who had forged close ties to the administration, especially Kushner.

“In both calls they asked for more details and for the Saudi government to be transparent in the investigation process. We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as available,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

Kush je...sumljiv, Bolton obseden z Iranom. Bomo videli.

Ne. Vedno je bila zahojena država, z umorom novinarja pa so to zgolj potrdili pred celim svetom.
S tem da je bil ta novinar nazadnjak svetovne klase, savdijski princ, ki je naročil umor, pa reformist, kar je svojevrsten primer narobe sveta (sploh v kombinaciji z Erdotovim ogročenjem nad dogodkom, vendar sta bila z umorjenim novinarjem politična zaveznika. Tukaj je veliko stvari, ki so drugačne kot se zdi, kljub temu pa vse to ne opravičuje tega nagnusnega dejanja.), vendar očitno tudi reformistični vladar ni mogel iz okvirjev obravnavanja človeškega življenja kot trivialnega.

Haha najbolj smešna je Erdoganova skrb za novinarja. Takoj ko bo savdski podpisan ček prispel v Turčijo ne bo več zaskrbljen.
Trumpa pa tako ali tako zanima zgolj to, da bo SA lepo plačevala za orožje.
