IMO, same Israeli spyware ("Pegasus") used by KSA (my belief) to hack Bezos was used by KSA to hack texts betw Kashoggi and a Canadian associate, leading directly to Kashoggi's murder. whttps://www.cnn.com/2018/12/02/middleeast/jamal-khashoggi-whatsapp-messages-intl/index.html
If Saudi involvement in Bezos affair is proven (and I believe Bezos' references to KSA indicate he has receipts), we have an infernal combination of Israeli state action (sale of Pegasus had to be govt.-to-govt.); Saudi hacking to silence *two* political opponents;
a horrendous murder; collaboration by AMI with KSA in attempt to silence Bezos; and very likely Trump/Kushner complicity at least in the Bezos matter, if not also in the Kashoggi murder (either by failure to warn or more actively).
Important to understand that, from Saudi (and probably also Trump/Kushner) perspective, Bezos and Kashoggi are NOT separate matters: the motive for silencing Bezos was to thwart investigation into the murder of Kashoggi (and subsequent cover-up). It is all one conspiracy.

We do not yet have a clear answer to how Alptekin established his 'consulting' relationship w/ Flynn. Reporting so far is that Alptekin approached Rafiekian, Flynn's partner. Why would Alptekin have thought of Flynn, whose 'profile' was strongly anti-Erdogan ? +
Alptekin is, at the end of the day, a bit player, a go-fer, a bag man. The outreach to Flynn was bold. Who told the Turks that Flynn wd be receptive ? I have wondered for some time whether Flynn was originally suggested to the Turks by the Kremlin.
Some dots that may or may not be connected (fuel for thought):
1. Alptekin's father is closely associated with a far-left Turkish political party, known (since 2015) as the Patriotic Party, but previously as the Workers' Party (Isci Partisi).

Steele Dossier 'Company Intelligence Report 2016/095 (p. 7 of collated Dossier): Source E said Trump and team 'were relatively relaxed' abt 'negative media publicity surrounding alleged Russian interference in U.S. election campaign' b/c
it 'deflected attention away from Trump's business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign."
We have rightly been preoccupied with Trump's corrupt involvement w/ Russia. The China aspect, however, continues to ride under the radar screen. There were early hints (see below), but not much since. How can we crack this part of the story ?

What is Graham saying here ? He warns of dangers for Turkey in "going in to Syria to deal with the armed elements that, in the eyes of Turkey, America created." Is he saying U.S. created YPG ? ISIS ? @stevenacook
For all those tempted to jump on my previous tweet and affirm the widespread belief in the Middle East that the "U.S. created ISIS," let's spare each other a repeat of a very tired debate. I agree that ISIS was spawned by misguided U.S. policies, but not more than that.
Clarifying: Is Graham saying Turkey believes ('in the eyes of Turkey') the U.S. created YPG or ISIS ?

Trump refuses to meet a LEGAL deadline to send Congress a report that requires the White House to determine if Saudi Crown Prince MBS is personally responsible for the murder of @washingtonpost journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Not at all suspicious. 🙄

Israeli spyware Pegasus [for whom Flynn was a paid advisor], acquired by Prince MBS in 2018, gives customers full access to victim's phone [texts & photos].

*Bezos' team said his texts & photos may have been obtained by a foreign govt for Trump.

Israeli spyware Pegasus, purchased by Saudi for $55M last year, "allows customers to secretly listen to calls, record keystrokes, read messages & track internet history on targeted phone; use phone’s microphone camera as surveillance devices." #Bezos

nyti.ms/2zF5KrF
"Because of those sweepingly invasive capabilities, Israel classifies the spyware as a weapon. The company must obtain approval from the Defense Ministry for its sale to foreign governments. Saudi Arabia paid $55 million last year for its use, according to Israeli news reports."
Who hated Khashoggi, threatening to "use a bullet" on him? Saudi prince MBS

Where did Khashoggi work? The Washington Post.

Who owns The Washington Post? Jeff #Bezos

Whose cell phone was hacked, leading to blackmail attempt by Trump toadie David Pecker & AMI? Jeff Bezos

Trump's pal David Pecker tried to blackmail Jeff Bezos. Big mistake. Huge.

"Any personal embarrassment AMI [publisher of National Enquirer] could cause me takes a back seat...If in my position I can’t stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can?" -@JeffBezos
Jeff Bezos: David Pecker was “apoplectic” about our investigation...the Saudi angle seems to hit a particularly sensitive nerve.

AMI sources say that in return for the catch & kill operation, Trump introduced Pecker to funding sources: Prince MBS.

3) Mexico purchased this software and is directly linked to disappearances and targeted journalists. I am certain other countries have done the same. I am focusing first on our neighbors who are being targeted.

#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.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
