It’s not just Khashoggi. Mohamed Bin Salman’s kidnap squads travel anywhere in the world to snatch critics. Far from modernizing, #MBS has turned Saudi Arabia into human rights abyss with a global reach. independent.co.uk/news/world/mid…
The Saudi kidnap squads have a trademark ‘lure and snatch’ strategy. They reach critics anywhere in the world and promise large checks or jobs if they meet KSA officials at an embassy.
Before his disappearance from the Saudi embassy in Turkey, Jamal Khashoggi appeared on al-Jazeera saying in #KSA under #MBS no-one dares to speak out. aljazeera.com/indepth/featur…
The White House and Jared Kushner have remained quiet, while the strongest words Donald Trump could muster was “it is sad”. Kushner has few reasons that would rationally explain his silence. None of them good. vanityfair.com/news/2018/10/j…

<<THREAD>> Been thinking a lot about the Israeli-based Psy-Group who likely contributed to the Trump Campaign's digital efforts. I wrote about them in the latest Narativ. @traciemac_Bmore 1/4 narativ.org/2019/01/02/sal…
It's interesting the work Psy-Group did mirrors what the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersberg is said to have done for Trump. 2/4
IRA was meme-centric, PSY fake news, and Cambridge Analytica psychographics. We have clues CA worked with Psy. Did Psy work with the IRA? 3/4

<Thread> If Zuck and Sheryl don’t realize the gravity of the situation now, they should rethink their roles. We did try to tell tell them, didn’t we, @traciemac_Bmore ? 1/6
The 5 biggest Facebook stories on Narativ.

April 2, 2017. I broke down how Russia used hacking, data and social media to help Trump win. 2/6 @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2017/04/08/dia…
Sept 5, 2017. Putin’s psychological warfare strategy. How a real war was waged in the minds of the masses. @traciemac_Bmore 3/6 narativ.org/2017/09/05/psy…

This takes you back....., @traciemac_Bmore @LincolnsBible 1/6
Back to the time, @realDonaldTrump and @IvankaTrump built a Trump Tower in Baku, Azerbaijan with a developer tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Anar Mammadov. We wrote about it here: 2/6 @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2017/07/23/cri…
Mammadov's father was a once powerful former Azeri Transportation Minister Ziya Mammadov. His Baghlan holding company is a main player in the Azerbaijan Laundromat. @IvankaTrump played a big role in the design and build of Baku. 3/6. @traciemac_Bmore

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

The bodies of 2 sisters from #Saudi Arabia were found in Hudson river, bound together by duct tape at their waists & ankles. Rotana Farea, 22, & Tala Farea, 16 “had recently requested asylum in the United States.” nytimes.com/2018/10/29/nyr… h/t @rerutled
👆🏽reminded me of #Saudi woman Dina Lasloom,who tried to escape forced marriage by going to #Australia for asylum but was detained at Manila airport until uncles came,beat her,tied mouth,arms,legs w/duct tape & dragged her onto plane home google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… #GenderApartheid
Death of 2 #Saudi sisters is highly suspicious. I hope coroner’s report is issued soon. I lived in Saudi Arabia as a teenager & for past 16yrs have been writing about #genderaprtheid in Saudi Arabia. Treatment of women is outrageous. And too often ignored or diminished.

It is all well & good that companies & lobbyists are reassessing #Saudi Arabia over reported murder of #JamalKhashogg. BUT! Where the fuck have all these people and firms been for decades? The violations of the #Saudi monarchy have never been a secret. nyti.ms/2CcsOjL
Glad to see people pay attention, finally, and I wish it hadn’t been over such a gruesome crime. I wish people and firms had started boycotting #Saudi royal family over its gender apartheid that affects all women there. Or the #Yemen war. Or jails full of activists. Or. And. Or.
This was my first oped about #Saudi Arabia for a US newspaper - ironically enough, The Washington Post. Fifteen schoolgirls had died in a fire because religious police wouldn’t let them out because the girls weren’t wearing a cloak and a headscarf washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

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 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"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." reuters.com/article/us-sau…
