THIS illustrates perfectly how the CIA continues to be a pathetic flop at everything it does.
"Several members of the hit squad sent to intercept Khashoggi were part of Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force (RIF), also known as the “Tiger Squad” or Firqat el-Nemr."
PURE FICTION.
First, the Saudis HAVE NO Rapid Intervention Force.
Second, the "Tiger Squad" is said to be a 50o-man assassination team chosen from the most elite units in Saudi Arabia.
There's ZERO evidence that it exists.
Guess where the term "tiger team" originated?
(The Arabic term for squad is also used for "team.")
"Tiger team" was first used in a 1964 paper titled "Program Management in Design and Development."
NASA put together a
Tiger Team to save Apollo 13.
Tiger teams are used in security work to TEST a company's ability to guard its assets.
The Treasury is sanctioning an organization that doesn't exist.
Mohammed bin Salman's protection detail is from the Saudi Royal Guards Regiment.
Here's one of them. He wears the green Guards patch on his left shoulder.
That kid has:
Special Forces tabs.
Paratrooper wings.
Expert Marksman badge.
FIVE Counterterrorism badges.
And the unique Assault and Pursuit badge.
He's a one-man army.
Did you ever read the details of the Khashoggi mess?
It was a bunch of bumbling clowns.
What happened was Khashoggi refused to answer questions and got into a fistfight.
Since he was over 50 and VERY unhealthy, he had a heart attack.
The Saudis involved tried to cover it up.
Obviously Khashoggi's Turkish bride-to-be is an intelligence asset who set him up.
The Turks claim to have bugged the consulate. They also identified every single Saudi there.
The pathologist came AFTER Khashoggi died.
Nobody planned to kill him.
You think that Saudi Guardsman one-man army would have any problem whatsoever making someone disappear?
The reality is that people SCREW UP.
The interrogators SCREWED UP.
But the "Tiger Squad" and "Rapid Intervention Force" don't exist.
THESE GUYS exist.
"Within 10 minutes of the raid, the entire mission was complete, which included arresting people, confiscating any weapons in the house, and getting out."
If the Saudis wanted to, they could've picked up Khashoggi and exfiltrated him at any time.
You know the old saying:
"It's the coverup that trips you up."
Exactly what happened in the Khashoggi case.
Leave it to the CIA to lay the blame at the feet of two nonexistent units.
Trump saw this report in 2018 and said the CIA didn't prove anything.
What happened was the Saudis fed our idiots disinformation, and our idiots ran with it.
See why it's so important for the Middle East to uncouple from us?
After the Gulf Cooperation Council builds its first aircraft carrier, the Middle East won't need us for anything.
That day can't come soon enough.

"It was evident, when Trump moved Chris Miller, Kash Patel, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick into their current positions, that that’s what he was doing.
I recognized it at the time as a probable sign that at least some of the individuals previously in place were not deemed trustworthy; i.e., in the most basic terms of processing intelligence straightforwardly and not trying to obfuscate it or drag their heels on forwarding it."
"The two pictures are hard to reconcile.
It makes no sense for Trump to be acting on a list of frivolous, disembodied foreign policy priorities.
It also makes little sense for him to keep getting cooperation overseas, if he’s so lame as a dying POTUS ember."
"It makes more sense, however, if it’s all part of the same operational plan."
This is the most mesmerizing remark in her entire remarkable piece:
"Here it is, from a programmer who comes from a unique view of U.S. cyber operations ... whose point is about geopolitics in this case:
“The real power brokers in American politics are all foreign and have been for quite some time. Can’t run a world power without taking insight and recommendations from, you know, the world. To me, geopolitics is American politics.”
THIS IS WHY THE CIA CARES
As is so often the case, Dyer reveals much more in the comments section under the article:
"The Uranium Jerky premise - not yet fully developed with all the pieces linked together - isn't about China trying to take over the world; it's about transnationalists trying to leverage power over the world, partly by dominating the whole nuclear cycle. That includes having nuclear weapons *not under the control of a nation-state, but under their control.*
"Dominating information (Google, Facebook, Twitter - the centralized info model, not necessarily just those companies) and monetary currency are other key elements of the construct.
The transnationalists are willing to make common cause with China, but their actual vision is to nudge the nation-state out of its inherent power position by holding it at risk from those key aspects: information, monetary control, and nukes, which can kill us all."
"The Goldman-Sachs move to trade directly in physical uranium (Jerky series Part I) was a move to put big-finance and nosebleed-level political cronies, including the Clintons and Obama, in a stovepipe with the uranium trade.
Goldman slipped in under a grandfathering loophole that could only be if the presidential admin looked the other way.
That's why Goldman literally made the move on Obama's 2009 inauguration day. None of that is coincidence."
This certainly seems to explain a lot of the motivation behind Big Tech silencing dissent and the massive growth of cryptocurrencies.
It's not that they all love Biden. Biden, as usual, is irrelevant. It just had to be anyone NOT Trump.
Can you make your threads real threads by replying to the previous toot, please? I'd never be able to follow it if I hadn't already been following you.
Thanks. I assume you are talking to me not TW. It's hard to make threads when replying to someone else's thread.
BUT.
I believe that if you touch the top right of the toot you're on, you can isolate all my replies in a new window and then read it as a complete set.
Hope this helps.
Ah, I hadn't considered that. Sorry. It wasn't really a thread but it was reading like one. Good stuff too, fwiw.
@epluribustrump @joebennett @ThomasWic You can, you just have to reply in the thread, then refresh the thread to reply to your own comment or do it from your Toots and Replies tab under your profile (which is often faster.)
@ThomasWic I assume part of Trump's house cleanings in his second term will be to build a competent CIA. Or is that impossible, and letting them chase their own tails is the best solution?
I remember there was a comment to one of Dyers older articles, about operations to create new structures and disconnect the old structures.
A while ago.
@ThomasWic I enjoy your writing. It is fascinating to read and I always look forward to your posts. Thank you!
@ThomasWic I was so excited to read your threads this morning I dropped my phone in my cereal. All is well.
Roflmao 😂 I know the feeling. Fortunately, my phone was nowhere near cereal 🤪

I never bought into the “journalist” narrative. Khashoggi was a terrorist.

More on the truth about Khashoggi.
@ThomasWic Another great thread per usual. You have the knack to cut through the forest of disinformation like a chainsaw in the fall. Thank you for educating us.
They can give the 0Biden administration the middle eastern finger! 🖕🏽
@ThomasWic
I remember reading in one of JE Dyer's articles
"It spikes the IC’s hostile-leaks howitzer.
Trump has done this several times now.
The intel community girds itself to put out a narrative that undermines the president’s policy, so Trump just lays everything out there for the world to see"
