Not The Onion: Saudi Crown Prince Receives CIA Medal For “Efforts Against Terrorism”

Article via ZeroHedge

We are sad to report that despite the change in administration, the “new” CIA is exactly the same as the “old” one.

In a stunning mockery of fact, either real, “alternative” or gratuitously made up, on Friday the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, who is also Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, received a medal from the CIA for his distinct intelligence-related counter-terrorism work and his contributions to ensure international peace and security, Al Arabiya proudly reported.

The medal, named after George Tenet, was handed to him by the new CIA Director Micheal Pompeo after the Crown Prince received him in Riyadh on Friday in the presence of Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman al-Saud, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. The meeting came days after the Washington Times reported that Trump is set to unblock a multi-billion weapons shipment to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, including precision-guided missile technology and dozens of F-16s fighter jets.

The medal, named after George Tenet, was handed to him by CIA Director Micheal Pompeo after the Crown Prince received him in Riyadh.

Taking the farce further, the Crown Prince – who until just a few months ago was a fervent supporter of Hillary Clinton yet appears to have changed his mind about Trump on a dime, just like every Wall Street hedge fund – said in a press statement after receiving the medal that he appreciated the CIA honor, stressing that his efforts were guided by the leaders of Saudi Arabia headed by King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, as well as the efforts of the Kingdom’s security forces.

With regards to terrorism in the region, the Crown Prince said all religions are separate from the beliefs and actions of extremist groups, noting that religious, political and social groups who have used religion as a tool throughout history do not reflect the absolute truths about the religion which it is affiliated to, or attributes its actions to.

As expected, the prince was silent about the recently leaked email, courtesy of the Podesta files, in which Hillary Clinton admitted that Qatar and Saudi Arabia “are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region”, to with:

Armed with proper equipment, and working with U.S. advisors, the Peshmerga can attack the ISIL with a coordinated assault supported from the air.  This effort will come as a surprise to the ISIL, whose leaders believe we will always stop with targeted bombing, and weaken them both in Iraq and inside of Syria.  At the same time we should return to plans to provide the FSA, or some group of moderate forces, with equipment that will allow them to deal with a weakened ISIL, and stepped up operations against the Syrian regime.  This entire effort should be done with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military operations that are at best temporary solutions.  While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region. 

Instead, Al-Saud said Saudi Arabia has played a key role in the fight against terrorism and condemns all forms and manifestations of terrorism. “We, God willing, continue to confront terrorism and extremism everywhere, and with thanks to God we have managed to thwart many terrorist plots from occurring.”

And yet, if they do occur, we will make sure to know when, where and how, because we orchestrated them in the first place, he could have added, but did not and instead stressed that the fight against terrorism is a shared international responsibility that requires international efforts at all levels to confront it militarily and intellectually, as well as financially. This must be done within the framework of international law and the principles of the United Nations.

More importantly, the Crown Prince then tipped his cards and said that with regards to the relations between Saudi Arabia and the US, the Crown Prince said: “Our relationship with the United States is historical and will continue to succeed.”

Addressing the issue of possible future attacks, the Crown Prince said: “We are surrounded by areas of conflict, and we were the first affected by terrorism from various sources, but we are equipped to combat terror in any place and under any circumstances.

And for that, the Saudis can thank the US which has assured its Riyadh friends it will remain a steadfast supported of the biggest exporter of terrorism in the region, far greater, and far more dangerous than Iran which Trump has branded “the number one terrorist state.”

Israel’s Netanyahu Faces Potential Indictment Over Bribery Charges

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly likely to be indicted as a result of an investigation into bribery allegations.

PRIME MINISTER Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with US President Donald Trump in less than two wee(Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to meet President Trump in less than two weeks)

The possible indictment from the scandal, which has been called “Case 1,000,” comes after Netanyahu’s testimony over accepting gifts from Israeli billionaire Arnon Milchan contradicted evidence found the authorities.

Netanyahu claimed he was unaware of champagne given to his wife Sara. However, testimony by Milchan, his confidant and others, does not correlate with the Prime Minister’s claim.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Channel 10 News reported Sara Netanyahu has already revealed the defense’s strategy, by claiming her husband had no knowledge of the gifts she received from his tycoon friends Arnon Milchan and James Packer.

Her alibi of events had been: “I have a close relationship with Milchan, he calls me ‘my sister.’ Bibi really has no idea I was getting wine from him, it wasn’t on his radar.”

It is worth noting that Channel 10 is partly owned by Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan. It is also under the control of the Ministry of Communications, which links it back to Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu’s attorney, Yaakov Wenroth, added, “Any reasonable person knows that someone bringing their friend cigars is not a criminal offense.”

Netenyahu’s defense minister, Avigdor Liberman, also stood by him, saying Saturday that Netanyahu “should not resign even if an indictment is issued against him.”

Netanyahu and his wife do not deny accepting gifts from the billionaire moguls. Instead, they claim they were simply gifts between friends, and not in a manner that constitutes a breach of trust or conflict of interest.

These developments grow merely two months after the prime minister faced a criminal investigation for alleged fraud and bribery on Dec. 26.

A decision on an indictment over “Case 2000” will not be reached until September, according to Haaretz. The case deals with an alleged attempt by Netanyahu to broker favorable media coverage with Yediot Aharonot publisher Arnon Mozes in exchange for supporting a Knesset bill to weaken competing newspaper Israel Hayom.

Possible indictment over Case 1000 will not reach a consensus until September, according to a report in Harretz. The ordeal links to an alleged attempt by Netanyahu to trade favorable media coverage with Yediot Aharonot publisher Arnon Mozes in return for supporting a Knesset bill to weaken opposition newspapers like Israel Hayom.

According to Channel 2, the indictments in Case 1,000 will be issued regardless of the status of the other investigations that are in motion against Netanyahu.
