MBS and King Salman offering condolences to Salah Khashoggi for the death of his father, an "enemy of the state".
Spokesperson of the Saudi embassy in the United States offers a prayer for the soul of an "enemy of the state".
The Grand Mosque of Mecca, Islam's holiest site, which is under the custodianship of the Saudi royalty, holds funeral prayers for an "enemy of the state".
Trump said that MBS called Jamal Khashoggi an "enemy of the state". He may have said that to Trump, but he dared not say it in public, because he's still acting like he had nothing to do with it. To call him "enemy of the state" would be an admission of guilt.

Beautiful people, this is my first truly free week in while. I'm hoping to recover and recharge. I'm going to go offline for a few days and will temporarily delete the Twitter app from my phone.
I'll try as much as possible to not know what's going on in the world. I hope nobody kills or disappears any of my friends (and nobody tries to kill me) in the meanwhile.
(I may end up retweeting a few work related tweets, regarding a few positions that are open at @Kawaakibi, but that's about it).

Wow. When @Netflix censors material on behalf of Mohammad bin Salman.
Many of us Arabs were very excited when Netflix launched its MENA division, because we thought this is a way in which we can bypass censorship. I guess there's the end of that.
Money always comes ahead of principles. Corporatism is a pillar of the structure of power that keeps us pinned down.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

1. @Americanlll @MastersShelby @Dina1trump @DineshDSouza @RealEyeTheSpy @TheRealRaNon @GenFlynn @martingeddes @O_IrishT @prayingmedic @qanon76 @WeAreOne_Q @RandPaul @Semaphore89

The Khashoggi incident will be blown wide open...again. This time, will @POTUS make his move?
2. @LindseyGrahamSC gave a STRONG statement after a secret briefing by the C_A about the #Khashoggi incident. Watch this whole video (7 minutes), not just the portions being given by others. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has been put on notice.

3. Graham pulls no punches in addressing MBS and his abusive, chaotic, dangerous, criminal behavior. This is going to resonate widely throughout the Senate and I believe it will be addressed on the Senate floor in the coming days. Some think this issue is not an important one.

Given how weird, even by Trumpian standards, today's White House statement on Saudi Arabia is, here is a line by line comment; pardon the long-ish thread:
1. "Iran is responsible for the bloody proxy war in Yemen": no, by no objective measure is that true. The war was local..
..., then Saudi intervened, and subsequently only did Iran increase its low support to the Houthis.
2. "Assad has killed millions of his own citizens": Inacurate. Assad is responsible for far more deaths in Syria than any other actor but hundreds of thousands, not millions.
3. "Saudi Arabia would gladly withdraw from Yemen if the Iranians would agree to do the same": nonsense. Saudi will not withdraw from Yemen, gladly or otherwise. And if it were ready to, this trade would be very strange, since Saudi has a massive investment in Yemen, unlike Iran.

AP: Two Saudi sisters are found dead, bodies taped together on the banks of the Hudson River. Their mother says she received a call the day before from a Saudi official ordering the family to leave the United States because the sisters applied for asylum. apnews.com/094178ff98c34d…
Not to put too fine a point on it, per AP’s report, the Saudi Embassy in the United States urged a Virginia mother to leave the country because her daughters had “applied for asylum” here, according to her. A day later her daughters’ bodies were found taped together a river.
“Saudi Arabia’s Consulate General in New York said in a statement that it had “appointed an attorney to follow the case closely.””

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
