In 2017 US President Trump, after a historical speech at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia aligned with Islamic Reformers. He cast terrorism as a fight of good against evil. The new alliance involves trade and technology in exchange for reformation and fighting radicals. In 2018 the CIA, the Muslim Brotherhood and Western liberals hit back against the reformer Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman accusing him of the murder of a opposition figure Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.
UPDATE: The Washington Post has caused itself a major scandal since it has come to light they and their martyred “reformer” Jamal Khashoggi were publishing anti-Saudi propaganda for Qatar. They tried to bury this in a pre-Christmas Saturday news dump, but that can’t stop the damage this will do to their reputation. “Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government,” the Post wrote December 21.
I tried to piece together the motivations for why US media and pols on the Left would enthusiastically take part in a Qatari info op against Saudis.— David Reaboi (@davereaboi) December 28, 2018
As is often the case, things that look like conspiracies are just people acting on common interests.https://t.co/gevPyoXeGX
