Khashoggi / Saudi Arabia / Economic Collapse: by S. Jones


KHASHOGGI / SAUDI ARABIA / ECONOMIC COLLAPSE

The Khashoggi Murder

Oct 24, 2018:  by Dr. Stephen Jones

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:


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

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.

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.

The Holy Spirit / Human Trafficking / Pedophilia / Coming Indictments: by S. Jones


The Holy Spirit / Human Trafficking / Pedophilia / Coming Indictments

(Original Title) Australian PM Apologizes For Governmental Failure In Sexual Abuse Cases

Oct 23, 2018 by Dr. Stephen Jones


There is a well-known principle in politics that says, “Never apologize; never explain.” The Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, broke that rule yesterday, following the biblical injunction to confess sin and repent of it—i.e., change the practice and policy.

His emotional speech delivered in Parliament before hundreds of survivors followed the conclusions of a Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, the nations’ highest level of inquiry.
“Today as a nation we confront our failure to listen, to believe, and to provide justice,” he said, adding: “We say sorry.”

The four-year inquest that delivered its final report in December revealed shocking evidence from more than 17,000 survivors and heard allegations against government, church and private institutions, as well as prominent individuals. It also heard evidence from leaders such as Vatican Cardinal George Pell, who is charged with committing historical sex abuses himself and was accused of failing to protect children.

Morrison said it was time for Australia to confront key questions.

America has had many days of national repentance, but I do not recall any president confessing any particular national sin, nor has official policy ever changed in the slightest. The only ones repenting have been the sincere ones who repented on behalf of those who did not.

So I suspect that this marks a turning point in world history, beginning in the great Southland of the Holy Spirit, as Australia was originally named. (Australia represents Pentecost just as New Zealand represents Passover.) I believe that this will soon spread and that it will also mark the start of a new war—a War on Human Trafficking and Sexual Abuse—to be carried out in America and elsewhere.

President Trump already fired the opening shot in this war on December 21, 2017 when he issued his Executive Order allowing the government to seize the assets of human traffickers and anyone guilty of “corruption.”

Thousands of low-level human traffickers have already been arrested, but that Executive Order set the stage for what is coming when more powerful people are arrested. The problem is well entrenched in royal families, government officials, and corporate CEO’s. It is really a Babylonian problem that has only gotten worse as time has passed, because they learned to protect themselves by taking control of the judicial system and the media.

That is now changing, and I believe this is one main reason why there was such a huge fight over the Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court. In the guise of protecting the people from sexual abuse, Kavanaugh’s opponents were actually trying to retain control so that the human trafficking could continue unabated.

Human trafficking, of course, is not the only problem. There is also the problem of treason and sedition against President Trump, where government agencies (mostly the CIA and FBI) were first politicized and then weaponized against Candidate Trump in 2016 in order to elect Deep State candidate Hillary Clinton. That attempt failed, as we know, because Babylon’s time ran out just as a hidden group of concerned patriots in the military and in the intelligence community banded together to overthrow the Deep State.

On March 1, 2018 President Trump adjusted the procedures regarding military tribunals to prepare for tribunals in Guantanamo, effective January 1, 2019.

Ironically, President Obama, who promised to close down Guantanamo, instead spent millions of dollars upgrading the facilities at Guantanamo. Apparently, he had other plans. Here is an article from July 17, 2012, which appeared near the end of Obama’s first term.

Guantánamo Bay is currently going through a rebirth of sorts - instead of being closed down, the terrorist detention facility run by Joint Task Force (JTF) Guantánamo is getting a new look.

The announcements of a $40 million communications upgrade - including a underwater fiber optic cable that will stretch to the coast of Florida - and multi-million dollar upgrades to the grounds all but guarantee that the 45-square-mile base will stay open indefinitely.

This construction continued to the end of Obama’s presidency. An article published on December 16, 2016 speaks of this:
Though US President Barack Obama pledged to close Guantanamo Bay offshore detention center in Cuba upon taking office, as time runs out on his administration that almost certainly will not happen…

The prison's future will then be up to President-elect Donald Trump, who has said he would prefer to keep it open and even "load it up with some bad dudes" after he takes office on January 20.

Officials at the base say they have available cells and could potentially expand.

President Trump has indeed kept Guantanamo open and has continued the expansion. Whereas Obama did not keep his promise to close it, Trump is keeping his promise to “load it up with some bad dudes.”

I suspect that Obama’s backers were hoping to put patriots in prison at Guantanamo but that this plan has backfired. Haman’s gallows are being used against Haman, as I said on January 4, 2012.

In this context, the article posted yesterday shows that military tribunals have been ongoing for a long time, though most people have been unaware of this. Now that the current judge is being replaced by Col. Douglas Watkins, the news media has reported this event and has reminded us of what is going on in Guantanamo.

By the way, I received an email from a Judge Advocate General (JAG), who is a friend of mine. He wrote to me:  Doug was my Judge Advocate Basic Course classmate.  A really solid guy.  Very good pick.

That’s good to know. Anyone who is in such a position of authority should be both upright and competent. Because Trump’s Executive Order last March comes into effect on January 1, 2019, I don’t expect any mass arrests or military tribunals until 2019.

The first year of Trump’s presidency has been used to put together his cabinet and the heads of the various agencies. The second year has been used to put the judicial infrastructure in place, and in a way, the appointment of Justice Kavanaugh has been a key success in this goal. But we cannot forget the dozens of federal judges who have also been appointed. They do not often make any headlines, but that has been happening in spite of Democratic foot-dragging.

Trump entered office Jan. 20 [2017] with 105 judicial vacancies, about twice as many as Obama’s 54 openings. And more judges have left the bench over the last half year, bringing the current number of vacancies to 138.

Last week, before going on a two-week “working vacation” at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump submitted a sixth wave of judicial candidates to the Senate, this time with 10 nominees. The Senate is in recess until after Labor Day.

Although Senate Democrats can’t block Trump appointees to judgeships through the filibuster, as they can with legislation, they have the ability to slow things down.

Mystery Babylon is an occupying force that replaced the original American Republic a century ago. Now the Republic is being restored as Mystery Babylon is being exposed and dismantled. Because of the SECRET nature of Mystery Babylon, not many have understood what was going on in the past century. Some prophecy teachers even thought that America was Babylon. But America was no more Babylon than Judah was Babylon in the days of Daniel. Judah was a captive of Babylon; so also America has been captive to Mystery Babylon.

The good news is that the tide has turned. I have great confidence, not in Trump or any man but in God. God foretold the captivity and set its parameters. These “beast” empires, culminating with the Mystery Babylon phase that began with the Federal Reserve Act in 1913-1914, have now lost their divine mandate. God has passed the dominion mandate to the saints of the Most High, for the overcomers are the ones called to rule in the age to come.

Current events should be interpreted in the light of God’s word and plan. If we know the plan, then we know how to view current events, and because the transfer of authority has now taken place, we can be encouraged to know that Babylon will fail, even though it fights as hard as it can to retain power.

Knowing the plan tells us who will win. If we had been living in the time of Jeremiah, our hearts would be heavy, knowing that the divine plan was for Babylon to win (Jeremiah 27:5, 6, 7). Jeremiah told the people to submit to the “yoke” of Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 27:12). This instruction also applied to those living a century ago when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. the lawlessness in the church during the 1800’s made it necessary to enslave America to Mystery Babylon as a matter of divine justice for a full century. The Pentecostal outpouring in the early 1900’s gave the church an opportunity to restore Christ as King and to repent of their desire for a man to rule them (popes and denominational leaders).

But they did not understand the Scriptures—especially the story of King Saul—and so the Pentecostal movement denominationalized from 1909-1912, repeating the sin of the people who demanded a king in 1 Samuel 8:5, 7. So essentially God gave them another century of captivity to religious and political leaders and their traditions of men.

However, we are living in a post-captivity era that is prophesied in Jeremiah 50, 51. The overthrow of ancient Babylon is being repeated with modern Mystery Babylon. And this time, because the overcomers have been given the dominion mandate, they will restore the right of Jesus Christ to rule the people. The overcomers will be stewards of the throne, not owners of the Kingdom. This will resolve a long-standing problem, and in the next thousand years and beyond, all things will be put under the feet of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:27).
