This event is proof positive that my take on the nature of the Domestic Civil War (Trump and the American Nationalists vs the CIA/Deep State and the Globalists) is FACT.
I have said that Trump's actual and real war on ISIS (in which his military commanders are dragging their heels) is a War on the CIA since ISIS/Al Qaeda are merely two of the CIA's Arab Legions formed in the CIA's partnership with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar is a wholly CIA-Owned Vassal State, other military assets use the bases in Qatar, but in the Middle East, it is CIA Deep State Central, which includes not just the huge "U.S." military facilities but extension campuses of six CIA-affiliated American Universities.
You know that Trump's relationship with the Saudis and Al SISI of Egypt is very, very strong. So why would Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen (and today Jordon) bar traffic from Qatar, break diplomatic relationship, order ambassadors to vacate within 48 hours and as the article says, "choking off access to an important U.S. ally" as the N.Y. Times calls them, and choking off access to our own "ally, which is a major American military partner," as the NYT wrote today?
The answer is simple, Qatar is CIA/Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar/CIA/Muslim Brotherhood was instrumental in installing the MB in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Egypt (for a while) and Turkey, all under Obama's Arab Spring Doctrine; now Trump is choking off CIA operations that are supporting ISIS, Al Qaeda.
We know that Egypt has been under attack from the MB/CIA and when the Saudis realized what Obama had done to them, they kicked him out of the country, literally gave him 5 hours to vacate.
This is NOT as the article says, "a complication" in Trump's unified fight against ISIS and Islamic Extremism. IT is a tactical move to rob ISIS and other Islamic Extremists of their CIA support.
Above is what I wrote yesterday morning. Confirmation of my depiction of these events, which is, of course, different than the Washington Posts and New York Times' depiction, came in the form of @realDonaldTrump Tweets today.
In order they read:

During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology. Leaders pointed to Qatar - look!
Sorry folks, but if I would have relied on the Fake News of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, washpost or nytimes, I would have had ZERO chance winning WH

Trump is signaling that the spin you see in the FAKE NEWS cannot be trusted. He is asking you, in the midst of this Civil War to understand as he has previously stated that "The Mainstream Media has become an enemy of the American People." [LINK]

So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding...

...extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism
Isn't that truly amazing, considering that Qatar is our largest base of operations in the Middle East? We are in a hot war with ISIS/Al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq, and with Isis/Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, YET our largest base of operation is in the nation that President Trump just identified as ground zero for terrorist operations in the Middle East.
This is an International Manifestation of the New American Civil War: Trump has drawn a Red Line between the U.S. OVERT Military Operations in the Middle East and the Deep State's Terrorist/CIA Operation in the Middle East.
At this point, with this evidence, I have been thoroughly vindicated in my assessment of the CIA/Muslim Brotherhood and the prosecution of worldwide Terror.
Do you want to know why Melbourne, London, Paris have suffered Terror attacks in the last few days? AND why ISIS is suddenly on the move in the South Phillippine Islands, capturing a town of more than 200 Thousand people with a large Christian population? Because with the terrorist's major base of operations under siege in the Middle East (OUR largest base of operations there) the terror sleeper cells all across Europe and the rest of the World have been activated. This is also the reason that you have seen countless news stories from Australia, across Europe, to the U.S. about the multiple arrests of people involved in Jihadi Sleeper Cells.
6/10/2017 UPDATE: More sleeper cells have been swept up, some more than 15 years old, with members granted citizenship, etc.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Tillerson made a statement that indicated that the trouble with Qatar was the fault of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Gulf States, calling on them to lift sanctions for "humanitarian reasons." He also claimed that the sequester of Qatar hampered "U.S. Military Operations."
Following making this statement to the press, Tillerson attended the Rose Garden press conference with Trump and the Romanian Leader, and at the conference, Trump said, "The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level," . . . "We have to stop the funding of terrorism." "The time had come to call on Qatar to end its funding — they have to end that funding — and its extremist ideology in terms of funding," “I've decided, along with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, our great generals, and military people, the time has come to call on Qatar to end its funding,” and not a WORD about lifting sanctions.
Hmmm. Tillerson and the foggy bottom boys laying the blame on the Gulf States, except Qatar, and Trump laying the blame squarely on Qatar. Let's see if we can put this in context.
Oh yeah, this article I wrote explains it, when not a single news outlet or any voice in the "alt-media" does.

Qexit (?)
News update 05 Jun 2017 (Monday) about diplomatic and transport ties cut with Qatar (has anyone called this Qexit yet?). Primary reference sources: BBC, Reuters, WAM, UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) statement, airline websites, UAE news (The National, Gulf News, Khaleej Times).What does it mean for you (summary as of 05-06 Jun 2017)?
- Qatari diplomats in Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and diplomats from those countries in Qatar: ordered to leave within 48 hours from 05 Jun 2017. No explicit information on departure schedule regarding diplomats in or from Libya, Maldives, Yemen, although all three countries have stated diplomatic ties have been severed (only a partial amputation applies for Libya, see below).
- Citizens of Qatar (Qataris, does not apply to expat residents of Qatar):
- Banned from living in, visiting, or transiting through Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (KSA), UAE effective from 05 or 06 Jun 2017. If already resident in one of those countries, you have 14 days to pack your bags and leave. No information on whether you must sell residential or commercial property in those countries.
- No information about bans on Qataris for Libya, Maldives, Yemen.
- Citizens of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (KSA), UAE (does not apply to expat residents of those countries):
- Directive issued by your respective governments not to travel to or through Qatar. Penalty for non-compliance unknown. No reports of Qatar banning anyone based on nationality (except for Israelis but that was already in place and is unrelated to the current situation).
- For those currently living in Qatar, some reports say you have 14 days to pack up and leave, but official statements are less clear, generally saying you may not stay in Qatar but not giving a specific exit timeline.
- Citizens of Egypt, Libya, Maldives, Yemen: Unknown yet if a ban on living in, travel to or through Qatar in effect, or planned.
- Expat foreign residents and visitors in Qatar with Qatar visas or permits who are not citizens of the previously mentioned countries: As far as we can tell, no directives issued by your governments (except Philippines but only for OFWs leaving PH for Qatar), and no directives issued by Qatar related to you, however there are general travel restrictions which are likely to affect you.
- Other foreign nationals who are resident in one of the previously mentioned countries, or anywhere else in the world, who are in Qatar or planning to go to Qatar: As far as we can tell, no directives issued by your or any other governments, despite what some reports say - they appeared to have misinterpreted press releases by various authorities about expats resident in Bahrain, KSA, and UAE (unless we're the ones who can't read properly but see more details below for our explanation). However there are general travel restrictions which are likely to affect you. You cannot travel directly from Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, or UAE to Qatar, however you can travel indirectly; via Muscat or Kuwait are the closest options (unless Oman or Kuwait also sever links with Qatar).
- Passengers on Qatar Airlines (QR): You cannot fly to or from any airports in Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, UAE. If you have a booking which includes a landing at one of those airports you need to contact QR for refund or re-route. No information yet about restrictions on flights to or from airports in Libya, Maldives, Yemen (but QR doesn't fly to Libya or Yemen anyway).
- Passengers on airlines which fly to Doha: If an airline is based in Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, or UAE, then all flights to and from Doha have been suspended. If an airline is based in Libya, Maldives, or Yemen, no information yet. Any other airline you should be fine unless there is a transit or stopover in Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, or UAE since according to official statements, all transport links with Qatar are supposed to have been severed.
- Airspace restrictions over Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, and UAE seem to apply only to Qatar Airways (QR) and any other aircraft registered in Qatar. For the general public, the most likely effect is probably longer flight times as aircraft are re-routed to avoid restricted airspace. No information about restrictions in Qatari airspace for any other airlines, but it seems that there won't be any if reports on 06 Jun 2017 are to be believed which said ... "Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV that Qatar will not retaliate against Gulf neighbours".
- Other travel restrictions: sea and port restrictions will affect residents in Qatar with possible food shortages. The land border with Saudi Arabia is closed. Qatar has no other land borders.
- Diplomatic ties cut by Bahrain, Egypt (not a GCC country), Libya ... sort of (not GCC, Reuters report, and it's complicated, see below), Maldives (not GCC, Al Arabiya report), Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen (not GCC, BBC report). And on 06 Jun 2017, The Philippines said it would not allow citizens to travel to Qatar for work (see below), but did not say diplomatic ties would be severed.
- BBC reported 05 Jun 2017 that "The move to end ties bans citizens from Saudi, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Libya and Yemen from travelling to Qatar, living there or passing through it, according to the Saudi government. People affected have 14 days to leave. Meanwhile Qataris will have the same amount of time to get out of Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain." Directives for citizens from Egypt, Libya, and Yemen not confirmed. The Saudi government statement we read does not say exactly what the BBC reported. A Reuters report of the SPA statement said "The decision forbids Saudi, UAE and Bahraini citizens from traveling to Qatar, residing in it or passing through it, SPA said. Residents and visitors of those countries must leave Qatar within 14 days. Qatari citizens have 14 days to leave Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar", which did not include Egypt, Libya, Maldives, Yemen from the directives.
- Bahrain: First to announce suspension of diplomatic ties with Qatar and closure of transport links.
- Bahrain embassy in Doha to close or suspend services, and Bahraini diplomatic personnel to leave within 48 hours.
- Qatari citizens living in or visiting Bahrain must leave within 14 days. Bahraini citizens prohibited from living in or visiting Qatar but departure time frame not given for those already in Qatar.
- Expats resident in Qatar but visiting Bahrain, and expats from Bahrain in Qatar not included in expulsion? MOFA statement did not give an explicit directive for those groups.
- Bahrain MOFA statement (05 Jun 2017): "The Kingdom of Bahrain announces the severance of diplomatic relations with the State of Qatar to preserve its national security as well as the withdrawal of the Bahraini diplomatic mission from Doha, to provide all members of the Qatari diplomatic mission 48 hours to leave the country with the completion of the necessary procedures and the closure of airspace, ports and the territorial waters for shipping to and from Qatar within 24 hours of this statement. As the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain prohibits citizens from traveling to or residing in Qatar, it regrets that Qatari nationals will not be allowed to enter or pass through its territory. It also grants Qatari residents and visitors 14 days to leave the Kingdom ..."
- Egypt:
- Al Ahram news agency reported that "Egypt announced the closure of its airspace and seaports for all Qatari transportation to protect its national security, the foreign ministry said in a statement", but did not say from when. Other sources said the same thing, referring to "Egyptian state media", presumably referring to MENA, but no report found on MENA website (most or all articles on MENA website inaccessible anyway).
- Qatari Ambassador to Egypt given 48 hours to leave, and Egyptian chargé d'affaires in Doha instructed to return to Cairo within 48 hours (sources: Reuters, Al Ahram, Egyptian MFA, SPA).
- BBC reported that the Saudi government said Egyptian citizens were banned from traveling through or to Qatar, and those presently in Qatar have 14 days to leave. No information about directives to Qatari citizens in Egypt, or what the Egyptian government said.
- Libya sort of severed ties. Report said a statement was made by the Libyan government foreign minister in Bayda, which is different from the internationally recognized Libyan government in Tripoli, which has not made a statement (so far). So Libyans in the GCC, GCC citizens in Libya, and flights to and from Tripoli are probably not affected ... yet.
- Maldives: Foreign Ministry statements says "The Government of Maldives has decided to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar effective from today, 5 June 2017". No further information provided regarding transport links, diplomatic relations, or directives to Qatari or Maldivian citizens. Probably unrelated but ... in Mar 2017, the Qatari MFA issued a statement saying "The foreign ministry warns citizens against travelling to Maldives this moment due to the spread of H1N1 virus".
- Philippines: Press release on 06 Jun 2017 said The Philippines would stop workers from going to Qatar indefinitely or temporarily. Presumably meaning Filipinos trying to exit PH on flights to Qatar, since it seems unlikely the PH government can stop them from traveling from other countries to Qatar.
- www.dole.gov.ph/news/view/3725 - "DOLE suspends deployment of OFWs to Qatar" (06 Jun 2017).
- Nothing said in statement regarding a ban on PH citizens already living in or visiting Qatar, or PH citizens planning to visit Qatar for business or holiday, or suspension of diplomatic relations with Qatar. In fact the statement made a point of saying "... OFWs should not worry as Philippines still maintains good diplomatic relations with Qatar."
- Qatar:
- Qatari diplomats in the UAE given 48 hrs to leave. Same directive issued for Qatari diplomats in Bahrain and KSA, but similar announcement not made for Qatari diplomats in Egypt, Libya, Maldives, Yemen?
- Qatari citizens visiting or living in the UAE given 14 days to leave. Same directive for Bahrain and KSA, but not other countries which severed ties with Qatar?
- Expat residents of Qatar visiting the UAE probably not required to leave but try and confirm with an official authority. The UAE official statement says "... giving Qatari residents and visitors in the UAE 14 days to leave the country ..." which sounds like Qatari nationals who are living in or visiting the UAE, rather than non-Qatari residents or visitors in Qatar, who are in the UAE. But Bahraini, Saudia Arabian, Egyptian nationals might have difficulties going to or through Qatar from the UAE.
- Citizens of Bahrain, KSA, UAE, residing in or visiting Qatar instructed to leave within 14 days. Diplomats from those countries living in Qatar to leave within 48 hrs?
- Saudi Arabia (KSA):
- Qatari diplomats given 48 hours to leave KSA (reported by many sources but explicit official statement not found)?
- Qatari citizens banned from entry to or transit through KSA. Those living in or visiting KSA must leave within 14 days. Statement wording (on SPA website) refers to "Qatari citizens" or "Qatari", implying directives do not apply to expat residents of Qatar - they are not "Qataris". But expat UAE, Egyptian, or Bahraini nationals in Qatar will be affected by directives from their respective countries.
- Haj pilgrims from Qatar (citizens, not expat residents) currently in KSA exempted from expulsion directives according to some reports, but SPA report (English version) says they must leave within 14 days. For example, the Saudi Gazette says "However, this decision does not affect Qatari Haj and Umrah pilgrims", and Khaleej Times says "However, these directives do not affect Qatari pilgrims currently in Saudi Arabia", referring to the 14 day expulsion deadline and quoting the SPA report which says the deadline does apply.
- Some reports also say that Qatari Haj pilgrims planning to travel to KSA can still do so, but the SPA report says they will be denied entry (which would happen by default anyway since transport links have been severed, unless they route via another country). For example the Gulf News says "Qataris still able to visit KSA for Haj", and Doha News says "Qatari pilgrims can still perform Hajj in Saudi Arabia", quoting the SPA report which contradicts their headlines.
- SPA report 05 Jun 2017 about Umrah: "The decision, for security reasons, unfortunately prevents Qatari citizens' entry to or transit through the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and those Qatari residents and visitors have to leave Saudi territories within 14 days, confirming the Kingdom's commitment and keenness to provide all facilities and services for Qatari pilgrims and Umrah performers."
- UAE citizens (not expat residents or visitors to the UAE) banned from traveling to or through Qatar. Statement from UAE implies that UAE citizens already in Qatar must leave but no timeline given: "UAE nationals are likewise banned from traveling to or staying in Qatar or transiting through its territories".
- Khaleej Times and Reuters said "Residents and visitors of those countries must leave Qatar within 14 days", referring to Bahrain, Saudi, and UAE; implying non-national expats and tourists from those countries who are in Qatar, must leave Qatar. Which might be a misinterpretation of the original statement.
- Yemen:
- Reuters said "Yemen's internationally recognized government cut ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of working with its enemies in the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, state news agency Saba reported" (05 Jun 2017, not found on Saba news website www.sabanews.net/en/).
- Qatar's participation in the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Al-Houthi group in Yemen to be ended.
- No other information reported regarding directives issued to Yemenis in Qatar, Qataris in Yemen, or transport links between Qatar and Yemen.
- Air, land, and sea connections with Qatar have been (Saudi Arabia?) or will be cut. Statement from UAE says within 24 hrs, i.e. by Tuesday morning.
- Airspace restrictions: Qatar Airlines and aircraft registered in Qatar to be banned from flying through airspace controlled by countries which have severed ties, not yet clear if this restriction also applies to other aircraft flying out of Qatar.
- Bahrain:
- [Check] 06 Jun 2017: The Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority announced that Qatar Airways operating license would be revoked, similar to the statement by the Saudi Aviation Authority.
- 05 Jun 2017: Gulf Air announced suspension of flights to and from Doha starting from 06 Jun 2017.
- Egypt: Egyptair expected to stop flights between Cairo (CAI) and Doha (DOH) (BBC report). Other reports said Egypt would close air and sea port transport links to and from Qatar but did not say when.
- Jordan (06 Jun 2017): Comment seen that QR flights between AMM and DOH cancelled or suspended. Appears to be incorrect, flightstats.com showing QR (and RJ) flights operating normally between DOH and AMM.
- Saudi Arabia (KSA):
- 06 Jun 2017 (SPA): "The General Authority of Civil Aviation has decided to cancel all licenses granted to Qatar Airways, close all its offices in the Kingdom within 48 hours from the date of the announcement and withdraw the licenses granted by the Authority to all Qatar Airways employees." Not clear what the phrasing licenses to employees refers to ... if it means all QR employees must leave the KSA, or something else.
- 05 Jun 2017 (SPA): Air, land and sea borders, and transport connections closed with immediate effect, QR and Sadia flights cancelled.
- UAE: "Closure of UAE airspace and seaports for all Qataris in 24 hours and banning all Qatari means of transportation, coming to or leaving the UAE, from crossing, entering or leaving the UAE territories ..." (UAE MFA). This implies QR flights will be banned from UAE and UAE airspace by Tuesday 05 Jun 2017 sometime. QR flights to and from UAE were still operating on Monday afternoon 05 Jun 2017. If or when direct links to Qatar are closed, non-Emirati visitors and residents in the UAE can presumably still get to Doha by flying via Kuwait or Muscat (Oman) ... unless those two countries also sever ties with Qatar.
- UAE based airlines Air Arabia (referred to as Al-Rabia in some reports), Emirates (EK), Etihad (EY), FlyDubai have all announced suspension of all flights between Doha and the UAE, effective from 06 Jun 2017 (Tuesday), last flights Monday night or early Tuesday morning between 0000 and 0400.
- Other airlines announcing suspension of flights to and from Qatar: Gulf Air (Bahrain) effective midnight 05 Jun 2017 (Gulf Air (GF) and Bahrain News Agency (BNA) statements), Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia, SV). Flynas (XY) doesn't fly to Doha.
- QR Travel Alerts page has official QR announcements. Contact number (in Qatar) given as +974-40230072 but good luck getting through to them at present.
- www.qatarairways.com/us/en/travel-alerts.page
- 06 Jun 2017 update: "Qatar Airways has arranged for three chartered flights on Oman Air to travel from Jeddah to Muscat today, Tuesday 6th June 2017. A connecting Qatar Airways flight will then transport passengers onwards from Muscat, Oman, to Doha, Qatar."
- 06 Jun 2017 update: "Qatar Airways has suspended all flights to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kingdom of Bahrain and Egypt until further notice."
- 05 Jun 2017: QR announced suspension of all flights between Doha and Saudi Arabia but only for Monday so far: "Qatar Airways has suspended all flights to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia until 23:59 UTC on 05th June (02.59 Doha Time on 6th June)." No information from QR so far if that means flights will resume on Tue after that time, or the suspension will continue indefinitely, but website booking page allows flights between Qatar and KSA to be booked from Fri 09 Jun 2017 (05-08 Jun all show as not available).

- KSA: flights unavailable from 05-08 Jun 2017, can be booked from Fri 09 Jun 2017 onwards.
- Bahrain (BAH), UAE (AUH, DWC, DXB, RKT, SHJ): flights still available on 05 Jun 2017, not available 06-08 Jun 2017, available from 09 Jun 2017.

It is Reported in the Arab Press that Saudi Arabia speaking with and for the other cooperating Arab nations just gave Qatar 24 hour to comply with Ten demands.
ReplyDelete1. Immediately break diplomatic relations with Iran.
2. Expel all Hamas members.
3. Freeze bank accounts of Hamas members and stop dealing with them.
4. Expel all Muslim Brotherhood members from Qatar.
5. Expel anti-GCC elements.
6. End support of 'terrorist organisations.'
7. Stop interfering in Egyptian affairs.
8. Cease broadcasting the Al Jazeera news channel.
9. Apologise to all Gulf governments for 'abuses' by Al Jazeera.
10. Qatar must pledge that will not carry out any actions that contradict the policies of the GCC and adhere to its charter.
BTW, it has been previously exposed that Al Jazeera is a wholly owned CIA-Psyop Operation.
ISIS has been a cheap terror surrogate for the Deep State since they have been able to sell black market oil, easily skirting the sanctions by Qatar's willingness to "launder the oil" for them (just like laundering money). This represents only a "semi-blockade" since this is more about closing ports to Qatari rather than typical blocking sea traffic. From what I can see ships from Qatar will be barred from neighboring ports but not barred from international waters. The rub is the shipping companies that had been servicing the Qatari posts, now blocked from doing so.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed that when the Media is serving up a picture of U.S. military presence in Qatar they always mention "the largest military base in the Middle East" and sometimes name it "Al Udeid Air Base" but while acknowledging there are "two large American Military installations" in Qatar, they never mention the second one? Internet Search Engines do the same, serve up the one and suppress information about the second.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, Secretary of State Tillerson made a statement that indicated that the trouble with Qatar was the fault of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Gulf States, calling on them to lift sanctions for "humanitarian reasons."
