<Thread> Admiral Stearney’s death also comes after a hectic few weeks in Middle East politics and oil. Saudi Crown Prince MBS just visited allies in the region, including Bahrain. 1/4
Speaking of MBS, it’s hard to ignore the other recent mysterious Middle East death everyone first denied. Are the deaths of Jamal Khashoggi and Admiral Stearney in some way connected? 2/4 washingtonpost.com/world/national…
The biggest driver in the Middle East is the looming IPO of Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s oil trust, which Donald Trump covets. Aramco and Bahrain’s Bapco just opened an oil pipeline. 3/4 reuters.com/article/us-sau…
Add to this Qatar and an Iranian blockade of portions of the Gulf and it’s a tinderbox, one which Adm. Stearney was uniquely positioned to handle. Suffice to say, I view the current finding that the Admiral’s death was a suicide with a fair amount of skepticism./End

<<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

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.

BREAKING: #Saudi prosecutor confirms death of Jamal #Khashoggi.

Pre-planned scapegoat Deputy Chief of Intelligence General Assiri has been dismissed as well as MBS Adviser Saud Al Qahtani. Saudi investigators have detained 18 suspects in Khashoggi's murder.
@Joyce_Karam #Maddow
The Saudi Prosecutor claims a heated discussion between Jamal #Khashoggi & Saudi agents in Consul in Istanbul turned into quarrel and fist fighting which led to his death. Doesn't explain why the Saudi kill team brought a bone saw, though, does it?
#Maddow
A "fist fight" in which Jamal Khashoggi was accidentally decapitated & dismembered with a bone saw the Saudi agents just happened to bring along for a simple interrogation and/or rendition? Trump & Jared Kushner will totally go along with this BS.

#Saudi actors who ordered #Khashoggi's death were aware he wanted his divorce paper, but hadn't anticipated his fiancee's call to Aktay which had some swift consequences. Turkish authorities searched one of the planes leaving with part of the murder team, but found nothing. /1
"Turkish intelligence agency MIT decided to review an audio-visual feed fr inside the consulate"... Grisly details ... suggest that Khashoggi was tortured then killed soon after entering the consulate" /2 cnn.com/2018/10/19/mid…
Had Hatice Cengiz not been there to call Aktay, the Turks wouldn't have suspected as soon as they did, that #Khashoggi had been killed. The info. about that clandestine AV feed was leaked over the week as the Saudis were swift to deny & slow to cooperate with the investigation./3

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…

Saudi crown prince boasted that Jared Kushner was “in his pocket” & had divulged names of Saudis disloyal to him – intel straight from the President's Daily Brief, which Jared read regularly before being stripped of his TS security clearance.
#Maddow interc.pt/2DKsRQK
Recall: Jared Kushner's unannounced Oct trip to Riyadh caught some intelligence officials off guard. “The two princes stayed up until nearly 4 am...planning strategy.” The following week, the crown prince launched his royal "purge."
HT @sharmila819 #Maddow
ICYMI on Oct 29: "Kushner left DC via commercial airline on Wed for the trip, which was not announced to the public. The WH official would not say who Kushner met w/ in Saudi, but he's cultivated a relationship w/ Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman."
