German Intelligence Warns: Saudi Arabia Has "Destabilizing Role" In The Middle East



Saudi religious police have a jolly game of beheading with a man who criticized Islam in Saudi Arabia

Yesterday in posting about the San Bernadino mass shooting incident I highlighted the fact that while most Muslims in the west are ordinary people who just want to pursue their own goals of getting a bigger house, better car etc. without interfering with other people's lives, in many of the terrorist incidents over the past few years, the perpetrators had links with Saudi Arabia.

This was true of the San Bernadino two, the Paris attackers last month, the Charlie Hebdo shooters in Paris back in January this year, the London bombers of 2005, the Madrid bombers of 2004 and of course the 9/11 hijackers, to mention only few.

This blog, though we do not break stories, is hot on research and is is usually a few weeks, if not months ahead of the rest of the world in joining the dots until a picture emerges of what is really going on. In this case however it seems we were only 24 hours ahead of the pack. Which while a bit deflationary for our egos, is great news for people who rely on the blogosphere for information.

The Daily Telegraph reports:

Saudi Arabia is at risk of becoming a major sponsor of terror destabilizing influence in the Arab world, German intelligence has warned. OK, honour is restored, we were sating this a year ago.

Internal power struggles and the desire to emerge as the leading Arab power threaten to make the key Western ally a source of instability, according to the BND intelligence service.

“The current cautious diplomatic stance of senior members of the Saudi royal family will be replaced by an impulsive intervention policy,” a BND memo widely distributed to the German press reads.

Saudi Arabia has previously been accused of supplying arms and funding to jihadist groups fighting in Syria, including Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).


To understand the threat posed by the Wahabbite Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in modern geopolitics, you must first note that the Wahabi sect is the most extreme version of fundamentalist Islam and the religion of choice for Saudi monarchs and their families. And then you need to understand the manoeuvres happening behind the scenes.

If Saudi Arabia was a secretive, medievalist monarchy before King Abdullah passed away, the succession has thrown up the first of a dynasty of rulers that will make their predecessors look like Little Sister Of The Poor by comparison. The problem with absolutist tyrannies is you can tell what kind of nutter is backstabbing his way to the front of the queue.

In the case of the Saudis, the current King, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is about 900 years old and was in poor health when he ascended to the throne, the dickhead who really wields power, the world domination nut who can hold the global economy to ranson by turning off the oil tap, is his son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as “Reckless.”

Back in September, Liberty Blitzkreig ran a feature on Mohammed The Reckless chillingly titled Regime Change is Coming – Saudi Prince Calls for Coup to Remove King.

If you thought Game Of Thrones was brutal, middle eastern family politics make the Lannisters, starks and Baratheons look like the Andrews Sisters.

Some say that Mohammed the Reckless is already the country's de facto ruler due to the King’s failing health. So as GoT fans understand there can only be two outcomes. Everybody dies, everybody and his best friend dies or or almost everybody dies.

Should Prince Reckless succeed in convincing people to remove the King and put the psychotic son in charge we are in big trouble. If a second scenario unfolds and the Empire King strikes back, there will be a brutal crack down on dissent which will delilitate the state further as its best minds are stoned or whipped to death, thrown off minarets or beheaded. This behavior will ultimately lead to the emergence of an unpredictable and unprecedentedly bloody tyranny because the only people left to run things will be nutters who will kill anybody that 'looks at them a bit funny, like', If you think the Middle East is insane now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Prince Mohammed the Reckless is the real wildcard, and it appears German intelligence sees the writing on the wall. First, this report from the Wall Street Journal sums up the risks for the west. What can our leaders do about it?

Absolutely nothing.

Turkey's Links to Islamic State

Edrogan - The new Ottoman Sultan (as he is depicted by his opponents)(Image source)


The Russian Government is on a mission. We are not yet sure what their ultimate aim is but in the short term it seems The Kremlin is determined to  demonstrate that the regime of Recep Tayyip Edrogan in Ankara is not only sympathetic to the Islamic State terror group, but has actively been assisting their war effort for the past two years.

That Turkey is helping ISIS will not come as news to anyone who has been following independent news or the news feeds the general public do not have access to. Turkey is run by a Sunni Muslim cronyocracy and thus is allied with the Wahabi (the most extreme version of Sunni Islam) monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. 

But Russia is not interested in sectarian conflicts within the Islamic world. Vladimir Putin and his colleagues are concerned about the obstacle to Russia's geopolitical position that would be created should Assad, a Shi'ite whose regime is secular by middle eastern standards, be replaced by a Sunni Theocracy.

And so Russia keep producing eveidence (though in a sane world none would ever have been needed - Turkey's genocidal war on the Kurds shows the true nature of the regime) of Turkey's illegal trading with and supplying arms to ISIS.

Research carried out by a team of international experts has revealed nine pieces of evidence that Turkey has collaborated with Islamic State since 2014. This latest revelation, when added to the Armenian Genocide, the attempted genocide against the Kurds and the Alevi, when added to the repression, torture and atrocities carried out by Turkey even against its own people, underlines the notion that the State of Turkey is a pariah.

Recent research carried out by a team of experts from Columbia University, USA, including researchers from the United States of America, Turkey and the European Union, led by David L. Phillips, Director of the Program of Peace-Building and Rights, Columbia University Institute for the Study of Human Rights, has raised awareness  of Turkey's collaborating with Islamic State. These are not empty allegations and before anyone shouts 'conspiracy theorist' or accuses me of presenting unfounded chatter picked up from Internet comment threads, I did go to great lengths to verify the authenticity of the material. The response was "confirmed", although the report is only available in full for purchase. Exerpts can be viewed at many locations however, such as this website as well as the article in Wasdhington's blog linked above.

While Turkish President Erdogan denies these allegations (to misquote the late Miss Mandy Rice Davis, He would say that, wouldn't he?) and speaks about a smear campaign being conducted by western media against his government, let us see the allegations for ourselves, set out in the research paper "ISIS-Turkey links" (A summary of the issues covered published by the report's authors).

The first allegation is that Turkey has supplied military equipment to Islamic State, the object of the allegation being documents from the Adana Office of the Prosecutor which show that Turkey has been arming terrorist groups. The allegations include evidence from truck drivers delivering such equipment In January 2014. It is further alleged that Germany and the USA are aware of the fact that Turkey has aided terrorists militarily and financially.

The second allegation is that logistical assistance was provided by Turkey to Islamic State fighters, and that Turkey is a known transit point for terrorists entering Iraq and Syria; it has also been claimed that Turkey has provided satellite images to ISIS.

The third allegation is that Turkey has trained Islamic State fighters or has allowed Turkish territory to be used for gathering and training purposes. Furthermore, convoys of Islamic State terrorists have crossed freely to and from Turkey in full view of Turkish soldiers.

The fourth allegation is that medical aid has been extended by Turkey to Islamic State fighters.
Turkey is funding Islamic State, NATO turns blind eye

The fifth allegation is that Turkey has been buying oil from Islamic State, providing the terrorist group with funds, while there are claims that illegal pipelines run from Syria through the territory into Turkey. This is not one tanker or two taking advantage of a dodgy security situation. It is chains of vehicles stretching out into the horizon, lining up to buy oil from Islamic State and provide this terrorist group with funds. Day and night, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a constant pipeline-lifeline of money going from Turkey into Islamic State's coffers, funding the terrorist activities of this extremist group. And Turkey is in NATO and NATO does nothing. On top of this, there are reports of cultural treasures looted from Syria and Iraq crossing into Turkey.

The sixth allegation is that Islamic State fighters are being recruited in Turkey and operations are launched from Turkey to recruit Turkish-speaking Islamic State terrorists from Turkey and Germany. Recently, mortars were fired against the Syrian Arab Army (the Syrian authority) from inside Turkey. Turkey is being used as a base by terrorists and NATO does nothing. But then again, people in NATO countries were weeping and saying the Lord's Prayer for the victims in Paris - how many of them were mourning the victims (almost double in number) of the terrorist strike against the Russian passenger jet or the military personnel murdered by terrorists after Turkey shot down a Russian bomber over Syria?

The seventh allegation is that Turkish terrorists have joined Islamic State and are fighting alongside them on the front line. There are claims that Turkey has also supported the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front and has sent special forces to fight with Islamic State.

The eighth allegation is that Turkey actively intervened in the Battle of Kobani, supplying Islamic State with trains full of ammunition and supplies

The ninth allegation is that Erdogan and the Turkish elite share a similar worldview with Islamic State, being Islamists. Perhaps that is why Kurdish fighters were allegedly prevented by the Turks from entering Syria to fight against Islamic State.

These are the allegations in the research which has scoured multiple sources of information online and in the printed press. Yet as we go back in history, we find far more than allegations - we find factual evidence of atrocities. Such as in the 1980s when the Leftist politicians were rounded up, tortured and killed. In 1993, in Sivas, 37 people were burned to death in a hotel because they planned to hold a demonstration. Why? They happened to be Alevi.

Add to that the case of other atrocities carried out against the Armenians, against the Alevi, a mystical branch of Islam and historic persecutions against the Greeks, ethnic Assyrians within Turkey, and the Kurds, and it is hardly surprising that not one of Turkey's neighbors has an easy relationship with Ankara.


This is not the fault of the Turkish people, who tend to be warm hearted and generous of spirit to visitors who respect their traditions. Most Turks wish to see a balanced society in which people can express themselves. This is not the Turkey of Erdogan or of Sunni Muslim despots in general. The Turkey of Erdogan aids, abets and finances terrorists, collaborates with Islamist fundamentalists, oppresses its people, murders Kurds, murders Alevi and commits war crimes such as illegally trading with ISIS.
