The crisis of the month prize certainly goes to Saudi Arabia for its apparent murder of Jamal
Khashoggi on October 2, 2018. I say apparent, because the body has disappeared, even though the
Saudis now acknowledge his death in their embassy in Istanbul. One can never be 100% sure when
an Intelligence agency is involved. They are skilled in creating illusions for public
consumption.
It really depends on who orchestrated this event. If the Saudis themselves really did plan an
interrogation-by-torture session with Khashoggi, as it seems, then they botched it hugely. They
first tried to deny it and then were forced to change their story.

As the crisis has grown over the past three weeks, Saudi Arabia has changed its tune on
Khashoggi’s fate, first denying his death, then saying he died during a brawl at the consulate,
and now attributing the death to a chokehold.
If his body was then sawn asunder and taken piecemeal back to Saudi Arabia in diplomatic suitcases,
as it appears, they still ought to be able to present a body, however mutilated it may be.
Saud al -Qahtani, who was the main hitman for Prince Salman and who is said to have been
responsible for the murder, was demoted. The same link above states:
(Reuters) - He ran social media for Saudi Arabia’s crown prince. He masterminded the arrest
of hundreds of his country’s elite. He detained a Lebanese prime minister. And, according to
two intelligence sources, he ran journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s brutal killing at the Saudi
consulate in Istanbul by giving orders over Skype.

Saud al-Qahtani, a top aide for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is one of the fall
guys as Riyadh tries to stem international outrage at Khashoggi’s death. On Saturday, Saudi
state media said King Salman had sacked Qahtani and four other officials over the killing
carried out by a 15-man hit team….
Qahtani himself once said he would never do anything without his boss’ approval.
“Do you think I make decisions without guidance? I am an employee and a faithful executor of
the orders of my lord the king and my lord the faithful crown prince,” Qahtani tweeted last
summer.

What? Qahtani was fired for “giving orders over Skype”? With all of the censorship going on
in the Social Media today, why would Microsoft allow Qahtani to use Skype?
Qahtani’s claim makes it difficult for Prince Salman to claim ignorance of the murder. So was this just
a botched operation, or did another Intelligence agency run a sting operation in an effort to unseat
Salman?
Who was Jamal Khashoggi?
First it is reported that Khashoggi had been a long-time member of the Saudi Intelligence agency in
the past. He left Saudi Arabia when power shifted as it so often does. He wrote a few contributing
articles, which then seemed to transform him into a “journalist.” This has given the mainstream media
the excuse to decry Saudi Arabia for killing a journalist. But the most one could really claim is that
Khashoggi was targeted because he had written some articles critical of the present Saudi regime.
This article tells us more about Khashoggi:
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-ugly-terror-truth-about-jamal.html

In high school, Jamal Khashoggi had a good friend. His name was Osama bin Laden.
“We were hoping to establish an Islamic state anywhere,” Khashoggi reminisced about their
time together in the Muslim Brotherhood. “We believed that the first one would lead to
another, and that would have a domino effect which could reverse the history of mankind.”
The friendship endured with Jamal Khashoggi following Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan.
Khashoggi credited Adel Batterjee, listed at one time as one of “the world’s foremost terrorist
financiers” by the Treasury Department, with bringing him to Afghanistan to report on the
fighting….

And when Osama bin Laden set up Al Qaeda, he called Khashoggi with the details.…
The article goes on to explain how Khashoggi was a serious supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
More important, he was critical of the present Saudi regime, because he was loyal to the previous
administration. When the Saudis decided that the Muslim Brotherhood was a threat to their own
government, Khashoggi complained and thus became a “dissident.”

"Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman should get rid of his complex against the Muslim
Brotherhood and stop treating them as the enemy or a threat to Saudi Arabia," he
complained, and urged the Saudis to fight Israel instead.

Over a year ago, Khashoggi fled to Turkey so that he would not be arrested and perhaps killed
for being a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood. There he linked up with Prince Turki, a
former ambassador to the US and the UK and also the former head of the Saudi Intelligence
Agency under a previous administration.

He was also welcomed in America, which had been friendly to the Muslim Brotherhood. Under the
Obama administration, many members of the Muslim Brotherhood had been placed in key
positions of government. The article above concludes:
The media’s relationship with Khashoggi is far more damning than anything the Saudis might
have done to him. And the media should be held accountable for its relationship with Osama
bin Laden’s old friend.

Dr. Dave Janda’s Opinion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbKbGZ4K0CQ

Dr. Janda is a renowned orthopedic surgeon. He was also appointed by the former Bush
Administration to the Board of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, so he
spent some time in Washington, where he was exposed to the corruption in politics. This
turned him into a political activist as well. He now has a radio show called Operation Freedom.
Dr. Janda says that Khashoggi was on the payroll of George Soros and was in Turkey to do
some business for the Deep State. As such, he was critical of an oil deal between Russia and
Saudi Arabia.

Why was Khashoggi at the Saudi embassy in Istanbul in the first place? Supposedly, he was there in
regard to getting a divorce in preparation of marrying his new girlfriend. But he could have gone to
the Saudi embassy in America. Why go to Istanbul?

Dr. Janda says that the interrogator in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul was a Russian, not a
Saudi. When the US learned of this, they used this information to obtain the release of Pastor Brunson. Russia has influence in Turkey, so Russia asked Turkey’s Erdogan to release
Brunson.

Benjamin Fulford says (though without giving any proof) that Brunson was actually the head
of the CIA’s operations in Turkey. Fulford’s explanation would certainly explain why Brunson
was so important to the US government, compared to so many other pastors in the Mideast
who have been persecuted, jailed, or killed. Keep in mind that to expose a CIA agent with proof would no doubt be a federal crime, so this may explain why no one other than Fulford (who lives in
Japan) is exposing Brunson as a CIA operative.
Or Fulford might have received a false report from his CIA sources.

At any rate, it appears that the Russia-Saudi oil deal, along with the Saudi agreement to begin
selling oil to China using the yuan instead of the dollar, marked the end of the
petro-dollar that was set up in the early 1970’s to replace the
gold-backed dollar.

Dr. Janda believes that Khashoggi was sent to Turkey as a Deep State operative and that for
some unknown reason he went to the Saudi embassy, where he was then tortured by a
Russian. Khashoggi may have fought back, prompting reports of a fist fight. He then died of a
heart attack, Dr. Janda believes, which was unanticipated. Having a dead body on their hands,
the Saudis then had to quickly decide what to do next.

The same day 15 Saudis flew to Istanbul and then back to Saudi Arabia with extra suitcases,
prompting speculation that Khashoggi’s body had been dismembered and transported back to Saudi
Arabia. However, there is also a report that his body was wrapped up in a carpet and brought
somewhere else, after which time the car (a Mercedes) was abandoned in a parking lot. It was
found on October 22.

Why would the Saudis abandon one of their cars in a parking lot? It is likely that they had
used it to do something illegal, unless it was a ruse that was designed to provide an alternate
and less gruesome explanation for the disappearance of the body.

At any rate, Dr. Janda believes that the Deep State decided to blow up this incident with maximum
news coverage and to frame it in terms of an attack on journalistic freedom of the press. With
so many other dissidents being killed in the Mideast, one wonders why Khashoggi is more
important than the others. No doubt the Deep State has its own motive.

The Economic Factor
Is the Deep State trying to disrupt the world economy by driving up the price of oil? The
Saudis have threatened to raise the price of a barrel of oil to $400 if the US government
pursues this Khashoggi case.

400-oil/

This brings us to the economic issue, which is perhaps the deeper issue behind the news. There is little doubt that the Deep State would like to crash the economy before the midterm elections in order to stop the Republican “red wave.” The economy is ripe for a collapse, in spite of what President Trump is saying in public. The recent downturn in the stock market is just one indication of this.
It appears that the plan is to replace the current banking system with something new as part of a “global reset.” This might involve a “debt-Jubilee,” as many have been telling us.

Trump has been criticizing the Federal Reserve Board’s policy of raising interest rates, setting
them up to be blamed for a future crash. The Fed could then be nationalized and restructured, thus cancelling the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and giving the Treasury Department the power to create
money without having to borrow it from the bankers at interest.

The Deep State, however, would prefer to blame Trump, rather than the Fed. So if they can
cause a rise in oil prices that would tank the world economy, they hope to pin the blame on
Trump’s Mideast policy.

Whatever the case, it appears that an economic crisis will occur some time after the midterm
election, perhaps in 2019. What replaces the current system will depend on whether the Deep
State wins the battle or if the Trump team wins. Either way, it appears that we will soon be getting a new system as the economic side of Mystery Babylon falls. I do not think that the Deep State will get its way, because they would just set up another system advantageous to the bankers and thereby continue our enslavement beyond the allotted time.

Nonetheless, even if Trump wins the day, we should prepare for a certain amount of
disruption as we move from one system to another. Such changes could be done smoothly,
were it not for the opposition. So we should be prepared to weather the transition.
