>> How the #billionaire heir to the global cosmetics brand #EsteeLauder convinced Trump to buy #Greenland.
Well, that is so much more anodyne than the idea of #Trump, #Putin, and #Xi sitting in a #ThievesBanquet and carving up the planet into 3 spheres of influence.

>> This is imperial talk. 🤦♂️
This is another #ThievesBanquet, and one of the participants is the same as it was more than a century ago.

>> Erdogan is failing to understand, that the #OttomanEmpire has ceased to exist since more than 100 years ago & that neo-Ottoman interference in Arab-African affairs has the unmistakable smell of undesirability.
👍 Also, the stench of Russian ambitions is unmistakable, as it has been with the #ThievesBanquet for 100 yrs ago. Their desire for warm water ports in the Mediterranean, transparently as a stepping stone to #Africa, is what caused #Russia to interfere in #Syria in 2015.

There was much duplicity and a lot of thievery between #Russia, #Britain, and #France.
Russia hosted the #ThievesBanquet where the 3 parties carved out the #MiddleEast.
#SykesPicot was another secret agreement between Britain and France, but it was ratified by Russia and became a tripartite agreement.
However, Sykes-Picot was never implemented as the #Bolsheviks quit claim to the region and blew up the Sykes-Picot Agreement when they took over Russia.
⬇️
#France tells #Israel to halt #GolanHeights incursion and calls military deployment in buffer zone “a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement” between Damascus and Tel Aviv.
France has coveted #Syria since before #WWI. See #DamascusProtocol (written by secret Arab societies), #ThievesBanquet (#Russia, #Britain, and France), and #SykesPicot Agreement (secretly carving up #MiddleEast between Britain and France, but never implemented because #Bolsheviks blew it up)

Nice explanation of #ThievesBanquet — WHY #Britain carved out #Palestine.
#DamascusProtocol was crafted unilaterally by secret Arab societies but Britain never promised Palestine to #Hussein in #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence.
Britain rebuffed #zionism in 1914 & tried repeatedly to get #Turkey out of #WWI in exchange for Palestine, but Turkey refused.
Palestinians never fought for freedom.

>> If #Israel had followed any form of legal process, not funded Hamas to undermine any peace process maybe things would have been different
Skipping a lot of #history? My timeline is FULL of that. Look for #TurkishYoke, #ThievesBanquet, #DamascusProtocol, #Arabism, #ArabNationalism, #permanentStateOfWar, #inTheirName…
Before Israel funded Hamas, #Palestinians kicked offer for free state in 1947 & joined Arabs in war. If they hadn’t done that, Israel wouldn’t need to fund Hamas
Everybody is talking about removing #Trump from ballots in #Election2024 based on his role in #Jan6 insurrection. That certainly a good thing.
But also, let's not forget what he did at the #US-#Russia #Summit in #Helsinki in 2018, which #CIA director John #Brennon called #nothingShortOfTreasonous ➡️ https://www.npr.org/2018/07/17/629601233/trumps-helsinki-bow-to-putin-leaves-world-wondering-whats-up
Can't help but compare this to Russia's attempts in #WWI after #ThievesBanquet (below)
Try replacing #DjemalPasha with #Trump & #Constantinople with #Kyiv. What would he do?
⬆️
#Hussein's favorite son #Abdullah approached the #British as a supplicant who feared that the #YoungTurks were going to depose his father.
He lied to the British that rival #Arab chiefs were ready to bury mutual hatchets and unite to rise against the #Turks, in exchange for British support similar to that in #Afghanistan where locals enjoyed self-rule but #Britain handled all foreign affairs.
The British rebuffed Abdullah's overtures at the time, but came back after #ThievesBanquet
⬇️
⬆️ It wasn't #British diabolical designs that led to the present #MiddleEast mess.
Of course, #Turkish intrigue with #Germans in 1914, is quite a story in itself. That, and its plans to depose Grand Sharif #Hussein is what started the ball rolling and led to the #ThievesBanquet in 1915.
It was the #Arabs who approached #Britain first in 1914, and it is THEY who must bear the primary responsibility for the subsequent arrangements with the British.
Arabs had full agency in this mess.
⬇️
⬆️ At the #ThievesBanquet, #Britain coyly agreed to let #Russia swallow #Constantinople.
After the war, #Kitchener worried that once Russia got Constantinople, it would use the #Caliphate and plot to destroy the #British Empire.
So he wanted to:
1. Cut a swath through #Mesopotamia (#Iraq) into #India
2. Choose an #Arabian Caliph, without regard to #Shia-#Sunni divide in #Islam
He thought since #Mohammad was Arabian, so should his successor. This has rubbed #Shia #Iran & #Iraq the wrong way
⬇️
>> Turkey, or “ally”
How times have changed since the #ThievesBanquet, and since #Turkey conspired with #Germans in #WWI to give safe harbor to #German Navy in #Constantinople (#Istanbul) so Turkey, with #Bulgaria, could freely attack #Russia!
⬆️
The #Turkish intrigue with #Germans was separate from its intrigue to depose Grand Sharif #Hussein of #Mecca
These Turkish intrigues collided with:
2. Subsequent #British intrigue to dangle independence to #Arabs, albeit with loosely defined borders, in exchange for their support in #WWI
3. #DamascusProtocol cooked up by secret #Arab societies and presented to #Hussein without British knowledge
#US #imperialism was notably absent when this #MiddleEast mess was created
#Ottoman #Turkey was already scheming to depose Grand Sharif #Hussein of #Mecca
#ThievesBanquet, starting with #Russia coveting #Constantinople (#Istanbul), with #Britain & #France reluctantly agreeing, led to #Kitchener letter offering #Hussein independence from #Ottomans but it was based on vague borders
Separately, #Arab secret societies #AlAhd & #AlFatat jointly conceived #DamascusProtocol, foundation of #ArabRevolt against #Turks, to include #Palestine but British never promised them that
It is remarkable how clever #Russia was (and remains) in using deftful propaganda to wash its hands off its CENTRAL role in the present #MiddleEast crisis.

⬆️
The #ThievesBanquet
1. 1915: #Russia wanted #Constantinople (#Istanbul); Invited #Britain & #France to carve out the #Ottoman Empire among themselves
2. #Britain wanted #Suez Canal and land route from #Egypt to #Mesopotamia (#Iraq) and #Persia (#Iran), thence to #India
3. #France wanted #Syria, #Lebanon, & parts of Mesopotamia
Neither #US, nor #Jews in general, nor #Zionism had anything to do with this #GreatPower politics that played out in the #MiddleEast during the #GreatWar (#WWI)
