<\/a>When he received the Saudi Crown Prince, \u00ab MBS \u00bb, President Trump recapitulated the incredibly expensive orders from Riyadh to his country, and concluded with a smile : \u00ab You can afford this, right?\u00bb.<\/p><\/div>\n
T<\/strong>he Khashoggi affair is one of the multiple examples of Western variable geometry ethics.<\/span><\/p>\n For seventy years, we have been ignoring the facts, shouting: \u00ab Saudi Arabia is not a State like the others. It\u2019s the private property of the King, and all the people that live there are no more than serfs. That is why it is described as the residence of its owners, the Saoud family, in other words, \u00ab Saudi \u00bb Arabia \u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n In the 18th century, a tribe of Bedouins, the Saudis, allied themselves with a Wahhabite sect and rebelled against the Ottoman Empire. They managed to create a kingdom in Hedjaz, the region of the Arabian peninsula which includes the holy cities of Islam, Medina and Mecca. They were quickly put down by the Ottomans.<\/span><\/p>\n At the beginning of the 19th century, a survivor of the Saoud tribe raised a new rebellion. However, his family began fighting amongst themselves and lost again.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, in the 20th century, the British allied with the Saoud family in order to overthrow the Ottoman Empire and exploit the hydrocarbon resources in the Arabian peninsula. With the help of Lawrence of Arabia, they founded the present kingdom, the tribe\u2019s third.<\/span><\/p>\n The Foreign Office\u2019s idea was that the Saouds and the Wahhabites should be hated by their serfs and incapable of maintaining good relations with their neighbours. Because of the disproportion of the military forces \u2013 between the Saoud\u2019s sabres and the modern weaponry of the British \u2013 this family would never be able to turn on their Western masters. However, at the end of the Second World War, the United States seized the opportunity presented by the weakened British forces and took their place. President Franklin Roosevelt concluded the Quincy Pact with the founder of the kingdom. The United States pledged to protect the Saoud family in exchange for their hydrocarbons. Apart from that, the Saoud family would not oppose the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine. This document was renewed by President George W. Bush.<\/span><\/p>\n The founder of Wahhabism, Mohammed ben Abdelwahhab, considered that all those who did not join his sect should be exterminated. Many authors have pointed out the proximity of the Wahhabite way of life and that of certain Orthodox Jewish sects, as well as the resemblances between the reasoning of the Wahhabite theologians and that of certain Puritan Christian pastors. However, in order to maintain their influence over the Middle East, the British decided to fight the Arab nationalists and to support the Muslim Brotherhood and the Nashqbandis. That is why, in 1962, they asked the Saouds to create the Muslim World League, and in 1969, what we now call the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Wahhabism admitted Sunni Islam, which, until then, it had always contested. The Wahhabites then presented themselves as the protectors of Sunnism but continued to oppose all other forms of Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n Anxious to avoid the fratricides which had marked the history of his family in the 19th century, Ibn Saoud instituted a system of succession between brothers. The founder of the kingdom had 32 wives who gave him 53 sons and 36 daughters. The oldest of the survivors, King Salman, is now 82. In order to save his kingdom, the Family Council decided in 2015 to put an end to this adelphic rule and designate the children of Prince Nayef and the new King Salman as future heirs to the throne. Finally, Mohammed Ben Salman ousted Nayef\u2019s son and became the only Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.<\/span><\/p>\n In Antiquity, the word \u00ab Arab \u00bb defined the Aramean people who lived on the Syrian side of the Euphrates. In this sense, the Saudis are not Arabs. However, since the Coran<\/em> was collated by the Caliph in Damascus, the word \u00ab Arab \u00bb today describes the people who speak the language of the Coran<\/em>, in other words, the people of Hejaz. This generic term masks the very different civilisations of the desert Bedouins and the people of towns in a geographical area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf.<\/span><\/p>\n Having evolved abruptly from the use of camels to the private jet, the Saoud family of the 21st century has conserved the archaic culture of the desert. For example, its hatred of History. It destroys any historical vestige in its country. It is with this mentality that we saw it working with the jihadists in Iraq and Syria. There is no other reason for the destruction of the house of Mahomet by the Saudis, or that of the Sumerian administrative tablets by Daesh.<\/span><\/p>\n Just as the Western powers used the Saudis to force the Ottomans to retreat \u2013 which no-one contests today \u2013 they used the jihadists, financed by the Saudis and supervised by the Wahhabites, to destroy Iraq and Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n This has been forgotten, but at the beginning of the aggression against Syria, when the Western Press was inventing the \u00ab Arab Spring \u00bb, Saudi Arabia asked only for the departure of President Bachar el-Assad. Riyadh accepted that Syria keep its counsellors, its government, its army and its secret services, with which it had no quarrel at all. It only wanted Assad\u2019s head because he is not a Sunni.<\/span><\/p>\n When Prince Mohamed Ben Salmane (alias d\u00ab MBS \u00bb) became the youngest Minister of Defence in the world, he demanded to exploit the oil fields of the \u00ab Empty Quarter \u00bb, a zone which straddles his country and Yemen. Faced with Yemen\u2019s refusal, he launched a war to cover himself in glory, like his grandfather. In reality, no-one has ever been able to successfully occupy Yemen, no more than Afghanistan. But whatever… the Crown Prince displayed his power by depriving 7 million people of food. And although all the members of the Security Council expressed their concern about the humanitarian crisis, none of them dared say anything about the valourous Prince MBS.<\/span><\/p>\n Advising his father, King Salman, MBS proposed to eliminate the head of the interior opposition, Cheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr\u00a0[1<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. The man was a peace-lover, it\u2019s true, but from the Wahhabite point of view, he was an infidel, a Shiite. He was decapitated without causing an uproar in the West. Then MBS ordered the destruction of Moussawara and Chouweikat in the Qatif region. All Shiites! Here too, the West failed to see the cities destroyed by tanks and the massacred serfs.<\/span><\/p>\n Since he stands for no contradiction, in June 2017, MBS pushed his father to break with Qatar, which had dared to take the side of Iran against Saudi Arabia. He called for all the Arab states to follow his lead and managed to force the Emirate to back off – temporarily.<\/span><\/p>\n When he entered the White House, President Trump made some allowances. He would leave the Yemenites to their agony on the condition that Riyadh stop supporting the jihadists.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s when President Trump\u2019s advisor, Jared Kushner, had the idea of recuperating the oil money to replenish the US economy. The immense fortune of the Saoud family is nothing other than the money that the Western powers, in particular, the United States, had automatically been paying them for their hydrocarbons. It is not the fruit of their work, but only a rent on their property. The young man, therefore, organised the Palace coup of November 2017\u00a0[2<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. 1,300 members of the royal family were placed under house arrest, including the bastard son of the Fadh clan, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri. Some of them were hung by their feet and tortured. All of them were obliged to \u00ab offer \u00bb the Crown Prince half of their fortune. So \u00ab MBS \u00bb, in his own name, raked in at least 800 billion in dollars and actions\u00a0[3<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. A fatal error!<\/span><\/p>\n The fortune of the Saudis, which until then had been shared between them all, was now concentrated in the hands of a man who was not the King, and therefore was not representative of the state. All that needed to be done was to twist the Prince\u2019s arm in order to grab the loot.<\/span><\/p>\n MBS also threatened Kuwait with the same destiny as that of Yemen if it refused to offer him its frontier oil reserves. But time flies…<\/span><\/p>\n We only had to wait. On 2 October 2018, in violation of article 55 of the Vienna Convention concerning consular relations, MBS ordered the assassination of one of Prince al-Waleed Ben Talal\u2019s henchmen at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the journalist Jamal Khashoggi\u00a0[4<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n Jamal Khashoggi was the grandson of the personal doctor of King Abdul Aziz. He was nephew of the arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who equipped the Saudi Air Force, and then, on behalf of the Pentagon, supplied Shiite Iran against Sunni Iraq. His aunt Samira Khashoggi is the mother of arms dealer Dodi Al-Fayed (eliminated with his companion, British Princess Lady Diana\u00a0[5<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]).<\/span><\/p>\n Jamal had been associated with the Palace coup that old Prince al-Waleed was preparing against MBS. Mercenaries cut off his fingers and dismembered him before presenting his head to MBS, their master. The operation was carefully recorded by the Turkish and US secret services.<\/span><\/p>\n In Washington, the US Press and parliamentarians demanded that President Trump raise sanctions against Riyadh\u00a0[6<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n One of MBS\u2019s advisors, Turki Al-Dakhil, replied that if the US were to sanction the kingdom, Saudi Arabia would be ready to destabilise the world order\u00a0[7<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. In the tradition of the desert Bedouins, all insults must be avenged whatever the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Al-Dakhil, the kingdom was preparing some thirty measures, the most significant being to :<\/span> Aware of the damage that this wild cannon could cause, the White House sounded the attack. Remembering a little late their uplifting speech about \u00ab Human Rights \u00bb, the Western powers declared en ch\u0153ur that they would no longer stand for this medieval tyrant\u00a0[8<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. One by one, all of their economic leaders obeyed the instructions from Washington and cancelled their participation in the Riyadh Forum. In order to calm their anger, and remembering that Khashoggi was a \u00ab US resident \u00bb, President Trump and his advisor, Kushner, mentioned the confiscation of his properties for the benefit of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n In Tel-Aviv, panic reigned. MBS was Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s best partner\u00a0[9<\/a><\/strong><\/span>] and had asked him to create a joint staff in Somaliland in order to crush the Yemenites. He also made a secret visit to Isra\u00ebl at the end of 2017. The US ex-ambassador in Tel-Aviv, Daniel B. Shapiro, warned his Isra\u00ebli coreligionists that with an ally like that, Netanyahu is putting the country in danger\u00a0[10<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n The Quincy Pact only protects the King, not the pretenders to his throne.<\/span><\/p>\n Thierry Meyssan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Translation<\/span> [1<\/a>] \u00ab La mort du cheikh El-Nimr fait vaciller le r\u00e9gime des Saoud<\/a> \u00bb, par Andr\u00e9 Chamy, R\u00e9seau Voltaire<\/em>, 3 Janvier 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n [2<\/a>] \u201cPalace Coup in Riyadh<\/a>\u201d, by Thierry Meyssan, Translation Pete Kimberley, Voltaire Network<\/em>, 7 November 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n [3<\/a>] \u201cSaudis Target Up to $800 Billion in Assets<\/a>\u201d, Margherita Stancati & Summer Said, Wall Street Journal<\/em>, November 8, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n [4<\/a>] \u00ab Convention de Vienne sur les relations consulaires<\/a> \u00bb, R\u00e9seau Voltaire<\/em>, 24 Avril 1963.<\/span><\/p>\n [5<\/a>] Lady died<\/em>, par Francis Gillery, Fayard \u00e9d., 2006. \u00ab Francis Gillery : “J\u2019ai \u00e9tudi\u00e9 le m\u00e9canisme du mensonge d\u2019\u00c9tat dans l\u2019affaire Diana”<\/a> \u00bb, par Thierry Meyssan, R\u00e9seau Voltaire<\/em>, 23 ao\u00fbt 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n [6<\/a>] \u201cThe disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi<\/a>\u201d, by Manal al-Sharif, Washington Post (United States), 9 October 2018. \u201cLetter by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi<\/a>\u201d, 10 October 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n [7<\/a>] \u201cUS sanctions on Riyadh would mean Washington is stabbing itself<\/a>\u201d, Turki Al-Dakhil, Al-Arabiya<\/em>, October 14, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n [8<\/a>] \u00ab D\u00e9claration conjointe des ministres des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res d\u2019Allemagne, de France et du Royaume-Uni sur la disparition de Jamal Khashoggi<\/a> \u00bb, \u00ab D\u00e9claration de la France, de l\u2019Allemagne et du Royaume-Uni sur la mort de Jamal Khashoggi<\/a> \u00bb, R\u00e9seau Voltaire, 14 et 21 Octobre 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n [9<\/a>] \u201cThe secret projects of Isra\u00ebl and Saudi Arabia<\/a>\u201d, by Thierry Meyssan, Translation Pete Kimberley, Voltaire Network<\/em>, 27 June 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n [10<\/a>] \u201cWhy the Khashoggi Murder Is a Disaster for Israel<\/a>\u201d, Daniel Shapiro, Haaretz<\/em>, October 17, 2018<\/span><\/p>\nThe Arabia of the Saoud family<\/h2>\n
