US-Armed Rebels Force Yemen President To Flee Country As Saudis Prepare For War
UPDATE: *PRESIDENT OF YEMEN SAID TO HAVE LEFT THE COUNTRY ON BOAT FROM ADEN, AP SAYS
As The BBC reports,
Yemen's President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi has fled his palace in Aden as Houthi rebels advance towards the city.
Gunfire could be heard around the city centre, and the rebels are reported to have seized the international airport.
On Wednesday morning, the Houthis moved to within 60km (37 miles) of the city after taking a key air base following fierce fighting with Hadi loyalists.
Government officials later said the president had been moved to a "secure location" but had not fled the country.
* * *
Previously we reported that in the latest "coup" for US foreign policy, the US had "lost" over $500 million in weapons in Yemen, until recently an Obama administration foreign policy "success story", following the abrupt evacuation of the US embassy there, all of which ended up in local rebel and al-Qaeda hands.
It didn't take long for the local Houthi rebels to put all these weapons to good use: as Reuters reports, Houthi forces in Yemen backed by allied army units seized a key air base on Wednesday and appeared poised to capture the southern port of Aden from defenders loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, local residents said.
As a reminder this is the second time the Yemeni president, so close to Obama, will be forced to uproot and get out of Dodge, after his prompt "evacuation" from the capital Sanaa a month ago:
The Houthis and their military allies later advanced to within 40km (25 miles) of the city, where Hadi has been holed up since fleeing the group's stronghold in the capital Sanaa last month.
Yemen's slide toward civil war has made the country a crucial front in mostly Sunni Saudi Arabia's rivalry with Iran, which Riyadh accuses of sowing sectarian strife through its support for the Houthis.
Sunni Arab monarchies around Yemen have condemned the Houthi takeover as a coup and have mooted a military intervention in favor of Hadi in recent days.
The situation in Yemen is "fluid" but not looking good for the status quo: in Aden, heavy traffic clogged Aden as parents brought schoolchildren home and public sector employees obeyed orders to leave work. Eyewitnesses said pro-Hadi militiamen and tribal gunmen were out in force throughout the city
This happens as the northern militia alongside army units loyal to Yemen's powerful ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh have driven back an array of tribal fighters, army units and southern separatist militiamen loyal to embattled president Hadi.
The Iranian-backed Houthi Shi'ite militants took control of Sanaa in September and seized the central city of Taiz at the weekend as they move closer to Aden.
Houthi leaders have said their advance is a revolution against Hadi and his corrupt government, and Iran has blessed their rise as part of an "Islamic awakening" in the region.
Yemeni officials denied reports that Hadi had fled Aden.
Next up: yet another regional civial war involving a regime that was until recently so very loyal to Obama: a war which many blame on the former administration:
While Hadi has vowed to check the Houthi push south and called for Arab military support, his reversals have multiplied since heavy fighting first broke out in south Yemen on Thursday and the Houthis began making rapid advances southward.
In Houta, storefronts were shuttered and residents reported hearing bursts of machine gun fire and the bodies of fighters from both sides lying in the streets. Eyewitnesses said Houthi fighters and allied soldiers largely bypassed the city center and traveled by dirt roads to the southern suburbs facing Aden.
While the battle is publicly being waged by the Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement, many Adenis believe that the real instigator of the campaign is former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, a fierce critic of Hadi. It was Saleh who was the author of the city's previous humiliation in 1994, when as president he crushed a southern secessionist uprising in a short but brutal war.
A body of army loyalists close to Saleh on Wednesday warned against any foreign interference, saying in a statement on Saleh's party website that Yemen would confront such a move "with all its strength."
Which is ironic because according to AP, what's left of the government is now actually calling for its neighbors to invade the country to restore peace and stability!
BREAKING: Yemen's foreign minister calls for Arab military intervention against advancing Shiite rebels.
— The Associated Press (@AP) March 25, 2015
And as a follow up Reuters reports, the Saudi are indeed preparing for what appears to be the next MENA war, by moving heavy military equipment including artillery to areas near its border with Yemen, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, raising the risk that the Middle East’s top oil power will be drawn into the worsening Yemeni conflict.
The slide toward war in Yemen has made the country a crucial front in Saudi Arabia's region-wide rivalry with Iran, which Riyadh accuses of sowing sectarian strife through its support for the Houthis.
Just as Ukraine is a proxy war between Russia and the US, Yemen will be a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia:
The conflict risks spiraling into a proxy war with Shi'ite Iran backing the Houthis, whose leaders adhere to the Zaydi sect of Shi'ite Islam, and Saudi Arabia and the other regional Sunni Muslim monarchies backing Hadi.
The armor and artillery being moved by Saudi Arabia could be used for offensive or defensive purposes, two U.S. government sources said. Two other U.S. officials said the build-up appeared to be defensive.
One U.S. government source described the size of the Saudi buildup on Yemen's border as "significant" and said the Saudis could be preparing air strikes to defend Hadi if the Houthis attack his refuge in the southern seaport of Aden.
Another U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Washington had acquired intelligence about the Saudi build-up. But there was no immediate word on the precise location near the border or the exact size of the force deployed.
As a result, the Saudis would reather shoot first, ask questions later:
Saudi Arabia faces the risk of the turmoil spilling across its porous 1,800 km (1,100 mile)-long border with Yemen and into its Shi'ite Eastern Province where the kingdom's richest oil deposits lie.
“The Saudis are just really deeply concerned about what they see as an Iranian stronghold in a failed state along their border,” U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Matthew Tueller told Reuters on Monday at a conference hosted by the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce in Washington.
But a former senior U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the prospects for successful external intervention in Yemen appeared slim. He said Hadi’s prospects appeared to be worsening and that for now he was “pretty well pinned down.”
Slim or not, the countdown to another proxy war has begun. The biggest winner? These guys.

Saudi Arabia Is At War With The American Shale Boom
It's good to be the King......er......the pawn.
US has been arming all sides for years.
Can the USA finally invade Saudi Arabia? I mean if you want to have independent oil invade these fuckers and take over already! Export democracy once and for all!
Well at least you got it right this time. Now we know who has the weapons,
US Dollar as world reserve fiat collapsing....only American alternative left....create foreign chaos.
From chaos.....comes happy.

Obama is the evil one; the deceiver of the world. This was planned. Obama will bring the house down before he leaves office 1-17-17.
You stupid fuckers missed that I am a Libertarian and it was sarcasm. "Export democracy" through the barrel of a gun? Com'on tards.
America ruiins the world to rule it.
Why is everybody so down?
This will save the Bakken shale oil economy!
666 cheers for the bestest preezy Eva!
500 million USD taxpayer cheddar for that?
I could source all of that or absolute equivalent (even better than Humvees and such) for 120 million USD - MAX - through South African brokers.
Taxpayers take it up the ass so, so badly.
word.
200 Glocks? wtf?
The Glocks were free... It's what the police confiscated from gangbanger raids in Chicago... They just INVOICED 5x the retail price for 'em and sent the bill to the taxpayers
There wouldn't perchance be a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical .40 in there, would there? Just asking....nice instrument.
Listen to me now: Handguns are all but useless in true combat.
The most basic instrument of war that's useful for offensive/defensive military operations is an accurately zeroed rifle.
If you're using a pistol, it's a bad day in a combat zone for you, brother.
yeah --WTF--200 glocks is one vendor table at a small town gun show on any weekend.
Well at least they were counted, unlike the money part.
I would gladly sell my glock to the military for a million dollars. I'll even throw in a fine case with a felt liner and some rounds of beautiful bullets too. I'm sure with the right connections "bidding will start as ten million" actually. "Just digital money now."
Wonder how much for a roll of actual toilet paper...
"America ruiins the world to rule it."
We had to destroy the village in order to save it...
Sorry - I missed your previous comment. So, this is all about your comments to us 'stupid fuckers'? Well I'll be.
Yeah, that whole thing where we forced our ways on, for example Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan, guns in their faces and boots on the ground? Didn't work did it. Can't. Because narrarrative.
You asked a question and I gave you my answer. No.
my my Mr Juggernaut--testy this morning aren't we?---
At least there's no sectarian divide to exploit over there...
ummm....i wouldn't be so sure that he won't remain in office beyond 1-17-17 . go ahead , laugh now... #timestamp
It's unfortunate that there's so much noise around Yemen - it's important in understanding how flawed and monstorous the U.S. policy has become.
Little is said about Yemen itself - a perpetual hell-hole of misery and poverty like Haiti or Somolia. Little is said about the U.S. and Saudi-backed Yemeni government. They were mostly rich, corrupt, psychopathic control freaks lording over a failed state. Yemenis mostly hate them. The gov was somewhat tolerable when Yemen had more oil and oil prices were high, but now the Yemeni government is broke. They cut back on oil subsidies, stocked up on arms (another failed U.S. 'democracy' export) and made life even more miserable for most Yemenis.
And just like Haiti or Somolia, it doesn't matter what government runs Yemen or how much aid is funneled there. It's a giant slum run by criminals that will never be able to support itself. The Yemeni government is useless and, at best, only adds to the misery there. The U.S. promised democracy and elections, but the Yemenis (unlike U.S. citizens) immediately recognized that voting was useless. The only thing they were ever going to vote for in Yemen was A or B, red or blue. Nobody is 'for' them. Voting for pre-selected choices of rich, U.S.-backed psychopaths ISN'T DEMOCRACY.
Al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) isn't going to be Yemen's savior, but it makes perfect sense that there's some popular support for them. When people hate the government, any terrorist organization that also hates them looks like a friend. Yemen's Sunnis don't give a crap about jihad and don't hate Shi'ia - they're ALL poor and miserable and angry and don't care to be bossed around by rich, corrupt leaders backed by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. So the average Yemeni isn't an al Qaeda sympathizer - they're pro anyone that's anti-Yemeni-government.
Likewise, Yemenis Shi'ia (Zaidis) have little interest in Houthi rebels religious or political extremism. Houthis hate the corrupt, rich U.S. lackeys supposedly runing Yemen and didn't care for Yemen's Sunnis or government interferring with their affairs. Zaidis have been around Northern Yemen for the last thousand years or so. When the Houthis were fighting AQAP, they were tolerated by the West. Now that they're fighting the Western-puppet Yemeni government, they have become 'dangerous terrorists'.
So you have at least two big chunks of Yemeni society that, at least tacitly, support 'terrorists' because that's the only people that seem to be opposing their corrupt, unrepresentative government. ISIS has been hanging around Yemen lately too, seeking to extend it's evil empire. Funny thing is that ISIS seeks to REPLACE AQAP becasue al Qaeda isn't radical enough.
If the U.S. goes in and takes out AQAP, the Yemeni Sunnis will hate the U.S. even more and will still hate the Yemeni government. If the U.S. goes in and takes out the Houthis, then the Zaidi one-third of Yemenis will hate the U.S. (and the Yemeni government). Saudi Arabia is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They can take out the Houthis, but really can't attack their secret 'allies': al Qaeda and ISIS.
To top this whole carnival off, the propaganda campaign of 'Iranian-backed' has been tossed in to demonize the Houthis. Iranian Shi'ia might be sympathetic to the Houthi cause, but there is no Iranian support driving that movement and the Iranian government has said as much. The Houthis would exist and hate the Yemeni government if Iran existed or not. The Iran-Houthi connection is just a bit more believable than the previous laughable U.S./Israeli propaganda about Iran backing AQAP.
What should the U.S. do in Yemen? How about... get the hell out and stop trying to 'help' them.

Invade Saudi Arabia?
I guess you have not kept track of all the other American invasions: Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya-they all were complete, colossal failures.
The US army couln't even invade Canada, we'd beat back your crappy army in a year or two.
Not if the ROEs were appropriately set. Then we'd roll through you like a case of Labatt's at a frat party.
Y'all are very good at initially rolling through a country and overwhelming the opposition. What y'all are not good at is the follow-through.
Y'all can roll into Canada easily enough. But a year later things'd be very very messy.
NOt to worry our SOCOM . Special Ops Command is too busy invading the USSA . July to Sept.. SOCOM .. in Jade Helm .. 7 Western states and MIssissippi and Florida . they have chosen Utah and Texas as 'hostile' targets for their op .. AND even better .. SOCOM is in the Appalachians fighint tourists on the Appalachian trail . an 800 mile mountain connector between Georgia and Maine . but then I am paranoid so what if this is way outside the bounds of normal military ops . its black helicopter stuff.. forget it . pay no attention to economic collapse targeted for Sept.. that is only a coindidence... http://www.specialops.org/events/event_details.asp?id=143261 But its only practice... right .. there is a method to their madness.. for over ten years.. SOCOM out of Tampa can hardly be recognized as an ordinary US Army unit . its a lot more than that . combining corporations . like Dyncorp with their operations .. and it will be used against Americans should economic collapse happen .. some buzz .. they will break the country up into reagions coincide with Federal Reserve or FEMA regions . but than maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight.. just remember . the leaders and policy makers of the USSA and the West are NOT YOUR FRIENDS. Canadians would be well advised to neuther your relations before you are all sucked into the hell that is going to be made in the USSA and Brussels, London . Frankfurt.
"The US army couldn't even invade Canada..."
Why would the U.S. ever invade and occupy a proxy state it already completely controls? Canada's "Dear Leader" Harper has already sold out Canada's sovereignty to the U.S. and Israel.
Oudinot the above "invade Saudi Arabia" comment was sarcasm. Try and keep up ! and by the way all those other invasions you mention that were colossal failures , I think they did pretty much what they were meant to, spend lots of tax herd money , kill a lot of innocent people and generally divide conquer and fuck things up

1. If the Saudis hadn't already compromised so many politicians (which started in earnest with Bush Sr), we could've handed them their sorry asses. As it is... we need to go after DC first, for REAL Change & Hope.
2. "Losing" all those arms is a convenient way to use the Yemenis as a Proxy army (Useful Fools) to strike KSA, if you think about/aboat* it. Maybe there's more to it than meets the eye of the casual observer.

I can't get rid of the feeling that this has something to do with 9/11 -- Saudi and Israeli payback---just saying---anyway it bears watching.
Don't you just you love the ability of free market participants to be able to cooperate to undercut competitors to drive them out of business? (Or as statists would call it, collusion.)

No, dick are for chick, even ISIS seems to understand this basic fact !
Haven't read much Medeival Islamic poetry have you? Or spent much time around any of those 20th/21st century Madrases funded by fundamentalist Saudi's who (along with Qatar) bankrolled ISIS back when they didn't have any free cash flow to finance operations? (They make certain Catholic dioceses appear by staffed by relatively abstinent heterosexual non-pedophiles)
Re. Catholic priest pedophiles.
Why do you overlook pedophile rabbis?
Yeshiva day school child abuse cases rock Australia | The Times of Israel
More from The Guardian Rabbis' absolute power: how sex abuse tore apart Australia's Orthodox Jewish community
Or how about people overlooking secular pedophiles (NAMBLA and references too numerous to count...)
Or police, or soldiers, or politicians and judges. Anytime one group of people is placed above the law and above criticism, that group tends to attract the worst elements of society that have the required skill-set for membership. The clergy in any theocracy or comparatively religious society is going to be a breeding ground for evil without the rigorous internal controls and oversight that those who aren't members of the club do not have the authority to access to provide.
(applause for that post).
Yeah and how come in so called civilized countries circumcission (of both males and females) is,nt prosecuted with the full force of the law for what it actually is , grievious bodily harm assault and sexual mutilation of children. There is no rational arguement to defend this barbaric practice , and no I dont care which "cult" you belong to , having some "cultish" belief does,nt change the reality of what this is .

the Mrs and I own a very nice townhome in Great Falls VA that we rent. The prior tenant was a Brigadier General from Saudi Arabia on assignment to the embassy here in DC.
He was called back home 2.5 years ago. Very very private though appeared to be a normal guy. No english. His "driver" security detail spoke the english.
Embassy paid the rent - totally weird. One day he was gone and embassy kept paying the next 6 months rent on an empty townhome, and even paid to repaint entire inside of home and carpets to remove the smell of the chain smoking.
He has not asked for a reference -
Maybe he had Hookah parties in there.

US resumes drone strikes in Yemen
By Thomas Gaist27 January 2015
Just days after Houthi rebels in Yemen’s capital of Sanaa toppled the US-backed government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Washington has resumed its drone war against the impoverished country, killing a 12-year-old boy and two alleged Al Qaeda militants in a missile strike against a car traveling in the eastern Marib province.
The strike was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency, US officials told the Wall Street Journal. The CIA administers one of two US targeted killing programs directed against Yemen, with the other managed by the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
New waves of drone strikes against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) are currently in preparation, President Barack Obama and US military officials said Sunday. The US has launched hundreds of drone strikes against alleged terrorist targets in Yemen in recent years.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/01/27/yeme-j27.html
Sounds like the Yemenis need to use the US arms to take down the drones. They got 2 Cessnas and a CN-235, after all. Put a damn machine and a gunner aboard, and go drone hunting.
"The United States is trying to arm Ukraine at all costs ... to prevent Russia from developing into a new superpower," Emelyanov said. (http://russia-insider.com/en/2015/03/25/4960)
He's partially right. The US isn't worried about Russia becoming a "new superpower". They are worried that Russia will be the Fulcrum in a European socio-economic pivot: EU swing away from the US and towards Asia, forming the SilkRoad 2.0.
A natural and inevitable part will be de-Dollarization, which would at first dethrone the USD as the GRC, and then cause runaway inflation and civil unrest at home. Not to mention that all the Freebie Benefits from the Fed Friends (MIC, Wall St, Israel) would end overnight. The Neocons will NOT go away voluntarily or quietly into the night. Americans need to "force" them out of positions of power and influence. With "extreme determination and thoroughness".
and extreme prejudice; in the military sense of the term only, of course. As the goal is only removing neocons from power, any other interpretation of the proposed action is strictly coincidental. However, this application may represent a beneficial off label use for a can of Neo-con Remover.
Drones do not do squat to be honest, except turn the nasty business of war into a fucking video game. Most of the current problems in the ME are because the USA now uses drones to assasinate people without due process. The biggest problem is many times they miss and kill innocent people. Of course our MSM will not tell you that. I am honestly disgusted and these strikes killing innocents should be considered, war crimes.
At one time in this country we put troops on the ground to call in the strike or OK the strike so innocents were not killed. I guess our current commander and chief along with the MIC could care less anymore. Many times we called off stikes and refused to lase a target if there were innocents around. That was the procedure.
Red Flame me all you like but killing innocent people to kill one person you think is the TERRORIST of the WORLD creates more enemies then almost anything we do. It is just wrong and it is taking its toll on some of these young people that finally get it and they quit flying these dam drones. What is worse they can now call a drone of a US citizen without any due process. What a fucked up world we now live in.
You cannot control real estate with all the Air Force and Naval toys, contrary to what any military, politician, or media pundit states. It is impossible if you plan to use the real estate later.
Duplicate - not had my second cup of coffee yet. Too many wars and duplicity to keep everything straight.
..........''many of these former Pentagon officials have skin in the game as paid directors and advisers to some of the largest military contractors in the world. Ramping up America's military presence in Iraq and directly entering the war in Syria, along with greater military spending more broadly, is a debatable solution to a complex political and sectarian conflict. But those goals do unquestionably benefit one player in this saga: America's defense industry.
Keane is a great example of this phenomenon. His think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which he oversees along with neoconservative partisans Liz Cheney and William Kristol, has provided the data on IS used for multiple stories by The New York Times, the BBC and other leading outlets.''

These Criminal Think Tanks, NGO's & Institutions are nothing more than mini Satillite PsyOp arms of the Pentagram / MIC & Pure Evil Criminal Psychopaths over at the CIA..
I will keep harping on the following Paradigm Shift, until enough ZHers finally clue in...
Not to pick on Christians or Christianity per se, but they DO have some very unhealthy baggage that they carry around unconsciously. It is this:
Many (here) keep harping about "those Jews", and some (myself included) about "those Zionists". The part that almost everyone keeps missing is that... At least they stick together, which is more than can be said for so-called "Christians". For example...
When presented with any situation or opportunity, a Jew or Zionist will always and automatically think: "What's in it for me, and what's in it for My People?".
Christians, by contrast, will happily sell their very soul for gain, and sell out their 'People' (fellow Christians). Otherwise you would not have the likes of the Truman, Nixon, the Bushes, the Cheneys, Rumsfeld, McCain, etc, in the US, or the likes of Harper in Canada, the leaders in the UK, France, or elsewhere in the EU.
IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion), I think that Christianity as we know it today, or the last 100-200 years, has been thoroughly bastardized and compromised from within. This business of "turning the other cheek", "unconditional love" (of fellow man), or "unconditional Samaritanism" is devolving the Faith into a weapon and a tool to turn the Christian populace into absolute SHEEP. It has turned them into Sheeple, for TPTB/Zionists to rule with impunity.
To save Christianity (mostly from itself and from Zionists), it MUST REBOOT: It must become "Christians first!" The mindset must be "What's in it for me, and what's in it for My People?". Everyone else is and remains an Outsider until they convert (voluntarily), and are treated in a civil manner, but on a pure Quid Pro Quo basis whenever one has to deal with them at all. All else is futile and delusion.
"but on a pure Quid Pro Quo..." At first blush, seems selfish, but actually may not be. If you consider what you want? Peace? Harmony? Health? Happiness? You live in a world with 7B people, what you want for yourself is what most of them want also. You are right about Christianity being derailed. The Word has been delivered by the so called "false shepherds". Each person should get personal understanding letting no man intercede, or at least being extremely cautious about the intepretations of others. Keep some pity in your heart for all who will be tricked into going abroad with weaponry for their christ, they are without understanding. Broad is the path that leads to destruction, but it can be no other way. 2/3 of the world are prophecied to prove faithless.
The solution starts by seeing and understanding the man in the mirror. I contend earnest prayer helps.
cornfrittter, you aint been here long, and I'll give you as much rope as you need, to hang yourself.
You believe in a God that was taught to you.
You ain't no different from the idiot muslims who fight and kill each other over their version of God.
At the end of the day, the honest to god God, will make His/Her/It's presence known, and He/She/It won't give a shit about your earnest prayers.
In fact, God don't actually care.
You can pray, or you can reject. God (nature) will abide.
Go to Free Republic.com and the conservatives over there all bow to Bibi and the NeoCons.
They are Jonathan Pollard Conservatives.
Destabilization operation same as ISIS / ISIL
- don't take that as my support for it.
Where's all the indignation we expressed against Putin over the Ukraine?
Foreign group moves to overthrow central government and potentially leading to failed state forcing neighbouring to react in response to blowback from their very own internal meddling.
I demand sanctions on Saudi Arabia now.
The saudi royals are just zionists in sheets. Same genetic madness.
Who were the two greatest Jewish prophets?
Scroll down for answer.
Gross profit and net profit and that my dear friends is the source of the problem.
Gross and Net are brothers?
Three guys were on a street corner. Lightning hit them. They awoke at the Pearly Gates.
St. Pete said, "apparently there is a mistake. You guys can go back, but you MUST avoid your favorite sin."
Poof, the 3 guys, A wino, a Greek, and a Jew, re-appeared exactly where they left.
As they walked down the street, the wino spotted a liquor store. Unable to resist, he went in. POOF! he disappeared.
Next, as the Jew and Greek walked along, the Jew spotted a penny laying on the sidewalk. He bent way over to pick it up.
POOF! The Greek disappeared!
A classic. The way I heard it, instead of a wino it was a Frenchman, and they walked past a wine shop. But the same joke. Still funny, too.
Are the 2 at war?
Gross is the older one.
But I thought the zionists were Ashkenazi interlopers from Khazaria.
Now Im confused...
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.

As an imperfect Christian man, I find this to be horrifying but it helps me appreciate my social role in how I live my own faith.
I was born, raised and I continue to live happily side by side with Jews and Muslims as classmates, neighbors, clients and good trustworthy friends. I have prayed with them to the same God.
None of them gives me the slightest suspicion that they are or could possibly be dishonest with their faith --- let alone to do so as a pretense to commit harm to their fellow man. I still see them the same way and I have no fear of them.
Now, I am highly suspect of all religious leaders -- not just the obvious 1s who sell out stadiums.
Yes, sounds very reliable - a second hand account of some random 18th century British spy, who no one really knows about, making a claim that his mission was to destabilize the ottoman empire to create a Jewish state. As eported by one lone Turkish writer a hundred years later.
Big deal, if it even is true: Jews were forcibly converted to Islam throughout the ages, especially in places like the Arabian peninsula. If the house of Saud has what would amount to an insignificant amount of Hebrew DNA that wouldn't change anything. If already, Abraham, the original Hebrew, is the ancestor of many Arabs. What then?
From Las Vegas Dave:
But I thought the zionists were Ashkenazi interlopers from Khazaria. Now I’m confused...
No confusion; many middle easterners and Ashkenazi have common ancestors; this explains some of their psychopathic mythology, in-group behaviors, and tendency toward violence:
Arabs and Khazari’s both have heavy neanderthalic DNA admixtures. In other words, they are less Cro-Magnon than Northern Europeans. An earlier immigration wave of Neanderthalics populated Israel and points middle east. This is why they are Essau - hairy, yet live in a warm climate. Normally, evolution would favor less body hair in warm climates.
During last ice age warming, Cro’s moved along sea-coasts and waterways, while Neanderthals came down out of the mountains, especially Caucasus regions around black sea.
See: Michael Bradley’s “Esau’s Empire and Chosen People From the Caucasus.” Bradley himself is half Jewish, so it took quite a lot of bravery on his part to write his books.

lol as if our foreign policy is dictated by reason and law....lol.....its all betrayal and lies and might makes right.....lesson 1 for anyone who is not brain dead.
What did Yemen ever do to us?
Oh ya, the underwear bomber...

Fast and Furious in the Middle East.
Houthi militia are supported by Iran and Syria, their offensive the last few months could be Putin/Russia's real reply to the West's coup in Ukraine and Ukraine's offensive against the Donbass region.
Correct. And as an extra bonus, they are also supported with half a billion in Made in the USA weapons.
TD, I recall your post yesterday about the US Congress voting on a motion to arm the current Ukrainian government...
Cue half a billion dollars worth of ak74s for Mexican drug lords.
Which means arming the pro-Russian rebels. The average Ukrainian conscript does not want to fight and waits for the earliest opportunity to surrender himself and his weapons.
TD - just a suggestion - can you find articles referencing today's economic calamities back to the late Nixon, Ford Carter days?
I mean the gas shortage was a dozy. Odd/Even license plates, etc... California also had a drought in those years.
NoVa
Economic AND Political calamities
The first people you have to defeat are your own people.
Check mark on that box....
Does Houthi are Shia ?
If yes, they aren't affiliated with ISIS or Saudi Arabia !
Shia are Iraq, Iran and Lebanon (Hezbollah) and somewhat Syria, they where never aligned with Qatar, UAE, SA and Turkey (not sure about Turkey) who are themselves aligned with Israel and USA !
I must admit that's quite a mess.
If it's Putin move I must admit it's well done (strengthening Iran's power against SA and it's allies in the region) !
Tribal loyalties override the artificial sunni/ shiite divide.
And it is artificial.I never ever saw much of it decades ago.
Divide and conquer.
Moynihan was right in Pandaemonium
Putin has not forgotten the Prince Bandahar Bush threat. He also knows the Saudis are a major player behind the genocide being inflicted upon the Syrian people by ISIL/ISIS/NUSRA et al.
These poor bastards are being played like a yoyo on both sides.
Israel is probably fuelling and funding the conflict.
Too bad ebola stopped spreading. It may have been an opportunity for mankind to think of something other than killing his neighbour.
Yemen has 20 million people, imports 95% of its food, and is rapidly depleting its aquifers. Carrying Capacity for 500,000 to 1 million people. The rapid rise in population was enabled by abundant oil. Production peaked around 2000 at about 250,000 barrels per day, and is down to 100,000 barrels per day currently.
Religious, tribal, ethnic conflicts are symptoms of the real problems, which are overshoot and scarcity. Everywhere is going to have these kinds of issues, but the Arabs are at the bleeding edge, since they dominated the deserts which happened to be ontop of lakes of oil, to trade for imported food.
Civil War in Sanaa, Yemen .... semen will flow in the streets ! One of the female survivors of the suicide bombings of the two Mosques in Yemen was heard singing: "I'm gonna wash that man .... right outta my hair .... and send him on his way !" (Rodgers & Hammerstein)
mid east tar baby in the briar patch of obuma's magic negro powers..racism is the only winner. it looks like the KKK was on target. black pride gotta be dumb and blind to his failure.
Next up, bombing "rebels" in Yemen ?
What pisses me off is that the U.S. government says that its own people can't be trusted with sporting weapons while they turn around and allow shit like this to happen and then we end up fighting our own enemies who are armed with OUR own weapons. So just WHO is it that can't be trusted with the weapons again? I think it's time for Congress to introduce a gun control bill for the U.S. government...
if a white president fucked up this much, well ,he would get the nixon treatment. only an old ugly white woman can fix this mess,,,oh yah baby. we are fucked
Release The Pantsuits!!!
