Gabbard Praised for Not Deleting Post Calling Trump 'Saudi Arabia's Bitch'
Trump appears focused on compiling a team with two main criteria: complete devotion to him and Israel
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s choice for director of national intelligence, was praised on social media for not cleaning out earlier posts about the former president, including one where she accused him of being Saudi Arabia’s “bitch.”
Jeremy Scahill, the journalist, reposted her November 2018 post that read, “Hey realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”
He responded: “Impressive that Tulsi did not delete this prior to her announcement as Trump's nominee for DNI.”
Trump has been widely criticized for picking a Cabinet and staff that would make Israeli extremist Itamar Ben Gvir blush. He chose Rep. Elise Stefanik, winner of this year’s “Miriam Adelson’s Israel Defender” award; he picked Sen. Marco Rubio, another Adelson puppet, as his secretary of state, and he picked Fox News weekend host and ultra-Zionist Pete Hegseth to lead the Defense Department.
Trump appeared focused on compiling a team with two main criteria: complete devotion to him, and Israel.
Gabbard’s post in 2018 followed the murder of U.S.-based columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Trump, at the time, called the killing “horrible,” but said Riyad is a “great ally,” according to the Associated Press.
He refused to stop an arms deal because he said it would only open the door for more Chinese and Russian influence in the Middle East.
Trump said at the time that “we may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They have been a great ally in our very important fight against Iran.”
The U.S. was not at war with Iran at the time, but Rubio and Hegseth are warhawks who have spoken out in favor of attacking Iran.
Khashoggi’s brutal murder was a revenge killing by Prince Salmon. Khashoggi was the head of Saudi intelligence. Khashoggi failed to prevent Salmon’s assassination that was planned and carried out in Las Vegas in 2017. The coup failed. But on the anniversary of the attempted coup, the Prince invited the Saudi old guard that orchestrated the coup to a posh hotel in Riyadh. Seated in a large auditorium, the hundred or so members of the Saudi Royal family watched in horror as a a video was played of Khashoggi being methodically butchered! The Prince’s message was delivered loud and clear. Fuck with me and you will suffer! Now that you know this, let’s put the other pieces of the puzzle together on that night in Las Vegas when 58 innocent people attending a concert were gunned down by shooters firing from Saudi helicopters circling above. This was the cover for the attempted coup on Prince Salmon and his family who were staying at the Four Seasons Hotel adjacent to the Mandalay Bay Hotel Oct 2, 2017. Prince Salmon requested that the coup attempt be hushhush. So the FBI moved in and redirected the investigation to focus on Paddock who didn’t realize he was participating in a coup. The three women who had been seen with Paddock in the hotel are suspected of killing him. He was already dead when police broke into the and shot him in the face as he had been propped up in a chair. The helicopters were part of the Saudi security contingent located at a nearby training base the Saudis used to train pilots. Their presence in the air that night was tracked by local airport radar. Prince Salmon was the first Head of State President Trump visited in May 2017. They developed a good relationship So when Salmon asked President Trump as a favor not to mention what really went down that night on October 2, 2017, Trump agreed.
