Chairman Of Joint Chiefs Honors Dead Saudi King With Essay Competition - Here's Our Entry

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Consider...

 

Then consider...

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey has, according to Politico, asked The National Defense University to establish an essay and research competition focused on the Middle East in honor of Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdullah. How very generous for America's top uniformed military leader to recognize such a leader of another nation... Though no details of the prize are available, we thought we would take a stab (figuratively) at an essay...

As Politico reports,

 

The National Defense University plans to establish an essay and research competition focused on the Middle East in honor of Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdullah — a memorial directed by America’s top uniformed military leader.

 

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey asked the NDU to set up the competition after Saudi Arabia’s long-serving King Abdullah died Friday.

 

“The writing competition will focus on issues related to the Arab-Muslim world and is intended to contribute to strategic thinking and meaningful research,” the university said in an announcement.

 

Dempsey called the competition “an important opportunity to honor the memory of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, while also fostering scholarly research on the Arab-Muslin world.”

 

Dempsey, President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and other leaders offered their condolences after Abdullah’s death, calling him a key U.S. ally and a force for moderation in the oil-rich kingdom. And Obama is cutting short his trip to India Tuesday to fly to Saudi Arabia to meet with the new King Salman.

 

The NDU, located near Fort McNair in Southwest Washington, is a high-level graduate school for U.S. and international military leaders, Defense Department civilians and defense industry executives. Obama went there in 2013 to give a speech in which he called for scaling back or normalizing some aspects of the long-running war against terrorism and in which he acknowledged openly that the U.S. uses drones to kill terrorists overseas.

And so, here is our entry - courtesy of Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger,

A Ruthless Tyrant Dies in the Desert and Western Leaders Trample Over Each Other to Sing His Praises

The Saudi regime has come under severe criticism here at Liberty Blitzkrieg over the last couple of years for several reasons. First, more and more evidence has emerged concerning Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks of 9/11. A role that both the Bush and Obama administrations have gone out of their way to conceal. In late 2013, I published a post titled, Two Congressmen Push for Release of 28-Page Document Showing Saudi Involvement in 9/11. Here are some excerpts:

But earlier this year, Reps. Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., and Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., were given access to the 28 redacted pages of the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry (JICI) of 9/11 issued in late 2002, which have been thought to hold some answers about the Saudi connection to the attack.

 

“I was absolutely shocked by what I read,” Jones told International Business Times. “What was so surprising was that those whom we thought we could trust really disappointed me. I cannot go into it any more than that. I had to sign an oath that what I read had to remain confidential. But the information I read disappointed me greatly.”

 

The public may soon also get to see these secret documents. Last week, Jones and Lynch introduced a resolution that urges President Obama to declassify the 28 pages, which were originally classified by President George W. Bush. It has never been fully explained why the pages were blacked out, but President Bush stated in 2003 that releasing the pages would violate national security.

 

While neither Jones nor Lynch would say just what is in the document, some of the information has leaked out over the years. A multitude of sources tell IBTimes, and numerous press reports over the years in Newsweek, the New York Times, CBS News and other media confirm, that the 28 pages in fact clearly portray that the Saudi government had at the very least an indirect role in supporting the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attack. In addition, these classified pages clarify somewhat the links between the hijackers and at least one Saudi government worker living in San Diego.

Considering we have given up so many civil liberties in response to that horrible tragedy, you’d think it might be appropriate to declassify documents showing one of America’s closest allies had ties to the attacks. You’d think that, but you’d be wrong.

As if ties to the worst terrorist attack on American soil isn’t bad enough, the close alliance with such an autocratic, feudal, and oppressive monarchy makes American claims to care about democracy and human rights a complete and total undeniable fraud.

Murtaza Hussain at the Intercept had some choice words about this incredible hypocrisy:

After nearly 20 years as de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah ibn-Abdulaziz al-Saud died last night at the age of 90. Abdullah, who took power after his predecessor King Fahd suffered a stroke in 1995, ruled as absolute monarch of a country which protected American interests but also sowed strife and extremism throughout the Middle East and the world.

 

In a statement last night Senator John McCain eulogized Abdullah as “a vocal advocate for peace, speaking out against violence in the Middle East”. John Kerry described the late monarch as “a brave partner in fighting violent extremism” and “a proponent of peace”. Not to be outdone, Vice President Joe Biden released a statement mourning Abdullah and announced that he would be personally leading a presidential delegation to offer condolences on his passing.

 

It’s not often that the unelected leader of a country which publicly flogs dissidents and beheads people for sorcery wins such glowing praise from American officials. Even more perplexing, perhaps, have been the fawning obituaries in the mainstream press which have faithfully echoed this characterization of Abdullah as a benign and well-intentioned man of peace.

 

Above all, he was not a leader who shied away from both calling for and engineering more conflict in the Middle East.

 

In contrast to Senator McCain’s description of Abdullah as “a vocal advocate of peace”, a State Department diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks revealed him in fact directly advocating for the United States to start more wars in the region.

Personally, I’m so moved by this cruel man’s death, I want to do my part to pay tribute. I will do this by providing links demonstrating what is considered routine behavior in the House of Saud. Bear in mind, this list is by no means comprehensive, it just comprises of several heinous events I have covered.

The fact that a US General would honor this human rights abusing piece of shit just shows how many whores we have running our government. And when they are done being fucked by foreign leaders and banksters, they fuck us double. Mutiny might just be called for now....

Of Monarchy and Hereditary Succession 

In the early ages of the world, according to the scripture chronology there were no kings; the consequence of which was, there were no wars; it is the pride of kings which throws mankind into confusion. Holland, without a king hath enjoyed more peace for this last century than any of the monarchical governments in Europe. Antiquity favours the same remark; for the quiet and rural lives of the first Patriarchs have a snappy something in them, which vanishes when we come to the history of Jewish royalty.

Government by kings was first introduced into the world by the Heathens, from whom the children of Israel copied the custom. It was the most prosperous invention the Devil ever set on foot for the promotion of idolatry. The Heathens paid divine honours to their deceased kings, and the Christian World hath improved on the plan by doing the same to their living ones. How impious is the title of sacred Majesty applied to a worm, who in the midst of his splendor is crumbling into dust!

To the evil of monarchy we have added that of hereditary succession; and as the first is a degradation and lessening of ourselves, so the second, claimed as a matter of right, is an insult and imposition on posterity. For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and tho' himself might deserve some decent degree of honours of his contemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them. One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in Kings, is that nature disapproves it, otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule, by giving mankind an ASS FOR A LION.

Democracy is the enemy of tyrants until such time that they can intimidate, indoctrinate and addict enough people to dependency. At that point, democracy is their ultimate weapon. Where our constitution once defended the minority from the oppression of the majority, now a simple majority can take anything and everything away from you and you can say nothing. A minority used to be thought of as a race, gender, sexual orientation or nationality. Today the only minority that matters are those few remaining who actually believe and are willing to work to support themselves and all others stacked upon their backs. As whites used to look down upon most brown skinned people as dumb, backward and ignorant, we now find ourselves, those still working to succeed, falling firmly in that group. Stand in line with a food stamp consumer and see how they perceive you. They have no sense of guilt or shame in spending YOUR earnings, they laugh and smirk at the dumb asses who still PAY. All you need to know. Kings understand that they must embrace democracy, but do so as Sadam did, receiving 95% of the vote from his "adoring" people. Poorer nations must rely on violence to underpin their "democratic" state while those who can print money have other means to keep the folks in line and voting the right way.

He was a son of a bitch, but he was our son of a bitch

The obscenity of calling Saudi King Abdullah a “reformer”

Saudi Arabia's deceased King Abdullah, according to just about every obituary in major Western publications, was a reformer. The New York TimesWashington PostBBC, and NPRall describe Abdullah as a ruler committed to reforming Saudi Arabia's notoriously repressive practices. Sen. John McCain called Abdullah an advocate for peaceIMF head Christine Lagarde called him a "strong advocate for women."

But Abdullah did not, in fact, make any fundamental reforms to the Saudi state, which remains one of the most oppressive and inhumane on earth. It punishes dissidents, including currently with multiple rounds of publicly lashing a blogger, amputates hands and legs for robbery, and enforces a system of gender restrictions that make women not just second-class citizens, but in many ways the property of men. Abdullah's reputation as a reformer comes from some relatively limited policy shifts he made. Praising Abdullah as a reformer, in addition to being misleading, seems to imply that Saudi Arabia should be held to a lesser standard than the rest of humanity, and that its citizens should be somehow grateful for Abdullah's minor adjustments to a system that remains cruelly unjust.

The Saudi political system, a blend of absolute monarchy and Islamic extremism, has one of the world's worst human rights records. There is no democracy and basic freedoms are limited. Detainees there, according to Human Rights Watch, "commonly face systematic violations of due process and fair trial rights, including arbitrary arrest, and torture." Punishments including amputation, flogging, and beheading.

 Political dissent is strictly forbidden. Just two weeks ago, Abdullah's government lashed blogger Raif Badawi 50 times for the "crime" of defending atheists. Badawi has been sentenced to 1000 lashes in total, and ten years in jail.

9/11 was carried out by, and for Zion, regardless of the specific criminals involved.

Like when a Mafia "crew" hijacks a truck full of cigarettes in northern NJ. The crime is done on behalf of the 'crew's" Boss, or Don, to whom most of the spoils will flow.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

It is cliché, but regarding 9/11, like many other things, one must ask, "Who benefits?"

You should know by now it is ALWAYS dependent upon the definition of what IS is. IS a slave a person? Are we a slave and therefore not really a person, at least as was intentionally defined in our constitution. We are a bank/corporate asset...or possible liability depending on how pushy we become. All that is important is that we feel special, and that is what we are told. So special we need not worry about reality, as we have specialists for that. We are rich, we are Americans, and the rules of economics do not apply. Just sign on the dotted line and all you wishes will come true, no interests or payment until some time in the future when you are so fat and happy that the costs will be irrelevant. Special. that's what we are!

Ya know Bob, I've had a Monday from hell and I'm getting a little sick and fucking tired of "the presidents owned slaves" guilt trip routine.

You have any idea who likes & is permitted to own slaves NOW...Bob? It ain't fucking us. We were a colony, Bob. A colony of England, they set the economy up in part on slave labor...Bob. If you happen to believe the history books in school 600,000 mostly WHITE casualties resulted from "presidents owning slaves"...Bob. Is that enough blood for you or would you like some more?

Did you know black plantation owners owned slaves, Bob? Did you know far more slaves were "lost in transit" across the fucking Sahara on their way to points east than were ever lost crossing the Atlantic westward? Did you know black cheiftains traded with Arabs with slaves? Do you know who ran the slave market in Zanzibar, Bob?

Its an old, tired, worn out progressive meme and I'm sick of it.

Much better to have blacks dependent on .gov isn't it, Bob? Keep them on the plantation so to speak...

Thing is there were a hell of a lot of white slaves.

It's not about colour or race, it's about someone thinking they have more rights than others, and being evil enough to use terror and force to make others into property.

Religions (all of them) are subverted to make poorly educated people go along with evil ideas. They may tell a good story, but that's what happens in the real world.

Give all humans the rights you would give yourself.

"White man's burdern shifts to white man's rage."

...are his words, not mine.

This is how he thinks and why I am "progressively" pissed. 

You see, a black can enslave another black, a white can enslave another white, a red can enslave another red etc. and this fucker won't say a word.

It shows you he doesn't know and doesn't care about the issue of "slavery" as he tucked his tail and ran when I was about to confront him with modern day muslim slavery.

In his world only "white presidents" owned slaves, not black or red chieftains and certainly not the noble monarchs of the middle east.

Saudi Arabia did away with it (or least stopped condoning it legally) in 1962.

I try, but don't always succeed, to control anger and look at things sensibly.

Every now and again, though, I do fall into the trap.

Anger often achieves the opposite of what you want to happen.

Reason often achieves nothing.

Its an old, tired, worn out meme thrown around without any context and the truth be known "Bob" is not anything approaching an anarchist or that philosophy, although he likes everyone to think he is. He'd be just as happy with the system as is if only "the bankers" would fund what he wants.

True enough, everyone now knows what I think of Bob and at the end of the day still no one can refute a single word I have said because its true.

Furthermore, what I have said is more truthful than "For the first century, American Presidents of We Hold These Truths To Be Self Evident  "owned" slaves." BECAUSE one is led to believe by that sentence of...Bob's, that all presidents of the first century owned slaves, which is blatantly false and he knows it.

But he didn't want to use the words "some presidents" owned slaves for a reason, why? You will have to ask, Bob.

What will surprise those who may already be surprised about the Dönmeh connection to Turkey, is the Dönmeh connection to the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia.

An Iraqi Mukhabarat (General Military Intelligence Directorate) Top Secret report, “The Emergence of Wahhabism and its Historical Roots,” dated September 2002 and released on March 13, 2008, by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency in translated English form, points to the Dönmeh roots of the founder of the Saudi Wahhabi sect of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. Much of the information is gleaned from the memoirs of a “Mr. Humfer,” (as spelled in the DIA report, “Mr. Hempher” as spelled the historical record) a British spy who used the name “Mohammad,” claimed to be an Azeri who spoke Turkish, Persian, and Arabic and who made contact with Wahhab in the mid-18th century with a view of creating a sect of Islam that would eventually bring about an Arab revolt against the Ottomans and pave the way for the introduction of a Jewish state in Palestine. Humfer’s memoirs are recounted by the Ottoman writer and admiral Ayyub Sabri Pasha in his 1888 work, “The Beginning and Spreading of Wahhabism.”

In his book, The Dönmeh Jews, D. Mustafa Turan writes that Wahhab’s grandfather, Tjen Sulayman, was actually Tjen Shulman, a member of the Jewish community of Basra, Iraq. The Iraqi intelligence report also states that in his book, The Dönmeh Jews and the Origin of the Saudi Wahhabis, Rifat Salim Kabar reveals that Shulman eventually settled in the Hejaz, in the village of al-Ayniyah what is now Saudi Arabia, where his grandson founded the Wahhabi sect of Islam. The Iraqi intelligence report states that Shulman had been banished from Damascus, Cairo, and Mecca for his “quackery.” In the village, Shulman sired Abdul Wahhab. Abdel Wahhab’s son, Muhammad, founded modern Wahhabism.

The Iraqi report also makes some astounding claims about the Saud family. It cites Abdul Wahhab Ibrahim al-Shammari’s book, The Wahhabi Movement: The Truth and Roots, which states that King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, the first Kingdom of Saudi Arabia monarch, was descended from Mordechai bin Ibrahim bin Moishe, a Jewish merchant also from Basra. In Nejd, Moishe joined the Aniza tribe and changed his name to Markhan bin Ibrahim bin Musa. Eventually, Mordechai married off his son, Jack Dan, who became Al-Qarn, to a woman from the Anzah tribe of the Nejd. From this union, the future Saud family was born.

"...more and more evidence has emerged concerning Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks of 9/11. A role that both the Bush and Obama administrations have gone out of their way to conceal."

Naturally, to publicly expose that evidence would also likely expose that high ranking member(s) of the political elites and Deep State were also involved in 9/11. US democracy would hardly survive such an earthquake. Similar thing with the London 7/7 bombings.

General Martin Dempsey knows you know he and King Bling are shills and  frauds and is just tickled pink that there's nothing you can do about it. This is their way of rubbing it in. When they finally release the "28 pages" it will reveal that Dempsey, though a busy, busy guy, is a scratch golfer and that Abdullah once carried Bradley Cooper on his back all the way to the elevator at the Beverly Wilshire one morning after a night of drunken debauchery. 

Once America realizes that our hero was rescued by the dead King, we can get back to bombing shit with a clean conscience. It's pure genius.

"Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey asked the NDU to set up the competition after Saudi Arabia’s long-serving King Abdullah died Friday.

 “The writing competition will focus on issues related to the Arab-Muslim world and is intended to contribute to strategic thinking and meaningful research,” the university said in an announcement."...

Plus as a special bonus since General Dempsey can neither read nor write which is why this is a writing competition....  The winner will join the General in Riyadh to perform the honorary "bris" ceremony to the dearly departed' with his teeth just like a good Zionist orthodox rabbi... John Brennan will assist the mohel Dempsey...

Even though the wahhabi clan, especially the deceased is like a "brother" to the Zionist no self-respecting Ashkenazi will touch them "dead" or "alive". Way too dark!!!!  So in fine Zionist fashion the "dirty jobs" always go to the American sell-out in "uniform"!

I never bought into the various 9/11 conspiracy theories as most made little sense.  The one aspect of some of the theories which did have major financial incentive was a potential Saudi role behind the scenes.  The real question is whether the American public would want to enact revenge on that nation for this act(s).  Meaning, going ALL the way.  I suspect most would not.  Would be interesting to see the reaction from the sheep.
