NEWS SUMMARY INTELLIGENCE REPORT HOLIDAY EDITION NEWSDUMP WEEK
In the middle of other tweets Thanksgiving morning about Chief Justice Roberts comments and politically biased courts, wishing everyone a "Happy Thanksgiving" and so on President Trump retweeted his full commitment to Saudi Arabia again starting with quoting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo:
"'Its a mean and nasty world out there, the Middle East in particular. This is a long and historic commitment, & one that is absolutely vital to America's national security' @SecPompeo I agree 100%. In addition, many Billions of Dollars of purchases made in U.S., big Jobs & Oil!"
Meanwhile, columnist Patrick Buchanan notes that President Trump has misstated the facts regarding Iran in his support for Saudi Arabia following Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder:
"the cause of the 7,000 U.S. military dead in the Middle East in this century, and the 60,000 wounded, are the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that were launched by the United States and George Bush, not by Iran.....
As for U.S. civilian casualties, the 3,000 we lost in that monstrous atrocity of 9/11 were the victims of 15 Saudi terrorists, not Iranians..."
Buchanan asks in regards to Trump's inaccurate assessment of Iran's record in the Middle East:
"Is President Trump about to replicate President Bush's folly?"

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says regarding President Trump and Khashoggi:
Turkey's Foreign Minister also says that the deal with the United States to remove Kurdish militia from cities east of the Euphrates River in Syria must be completed by the end of the year.
Turkey's Defense Minister is expressing his country's unease about US plans to set up "observation posts" along Syria's border with Turkey. Hulusi Akar told US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford that such posts would have a negative impact on perceptions of the United States in Turkey.
Russia's representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Alexander
Shulgin, says the United States is promoting chemical terrorism through association with extremist Syrian opposition groups.
Shulgin says the US military in Syria covers the false flag chemical attacks perpetrated by the jihadists and affiliated groups like the "White Helmets". He says in part:
Russia's "Radio Sputnik" reports that French experts have helped al-Qaeda jihadists in northern Syria to load chemical warheads onto missiles.
The Syrian government and Russia believe a false flag chemical attack will be staged by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to draw US and allied military intervention in Syria.
Raed Fares, the operator of an independent radio station targeted by the HTS jihadists, shot dead in northern Syria. His "Radio Fresh" had been ordered by the jihadists to stop playing music.
Jerome Corsi, who has said he is facing indictment by Special Counsel Robert Muller, is reported to be in plea deal negotiations with Mueller. Corsi and another person familiar with the talks have told this to the media.
Corsi is a former associate of both Alex Jones of InfoWars and political operative Roger Stone. Reportedly Mueller is trying to connect Wikileaks into the activities of Corsi and Stone.
Stone says Corsi is under intense pressure from the special counsel to say what Mueller wants to hear which Stone considers to be a story that is not true. Stone says Mr. Corsi thinks the 1969 lunar landing was a staged event, which would make him a less than credible witness.
Corsi predicted publicly and correctly in 2016 that John Podesta's emails were about to be publicized by Wikileaks but he says it was based on public information, not a conversation with anyone associated with Wikileaks.
The Trump Administration is asking the US Supreme Court to immediately review lawsuits against the Defense Department's policy on transgender people serving in the US military.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says regarding President Trump and Khashoggi:
"In one sense, Trump is saying 'I will turn a blind eye'"
Cavusoglu commented in an interview with the "CNN Turk" channel.

"The real goal of the United States' military presence is provide a cover for for extremist groups acting in Syria, in its own political interests. And these groups are behind provocations with the use of chemical weapons in Khan Shaykoun and numerous other chemical incidents..."

President Donald Trump criticized a federal court ruling against his immigration policy saying it was the work of an "Obama judge".
US Chief Justice John Roberts responded asserting the notion of the "independence" of the federal judiciary.
"Sorry Chief Justice Roberts, but you indeed have 'Obama judges', and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country....."
On Thursday British Prime Minister Theresa May was hailing a non-binding part of Britain's Brexit agreement with the European Union that includes a reference to end of free movement, but also affirms the role of the European Court of Justice in interpreting law.
The binding 585-page document on Brexit states that the UK cannot interfere with the "four freedoms" of the EU which includes the free movement of people.
May is doubled down in her support of the plan set to be finalized with the EU Sunday in Brussels.
Meanwhile, opponents of Theresa May's Brexit plan including UKIP leader Gerard Batten and activist Tommy Robinson, plus many others are rallying Sunday December 9th in opposition to May's Brexit deal.
Robinson has called May's Brexit deal:
"the biggest betrayal of a democratic vote ever"
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has expressed his disgust over Tommy Robinson, saying he's "appalled" that current United Kingdom Independence Party leader Gerard Batten has enlisted Robinson as an unpaid adviser.
For his part, Mr. Batten says Robinson will advise him on prisons and rape gangs only. Batten also said Farage was telling people he was involved in the "Leave Means Leave" campaign and not UKIP anymore with the implication being that Farage should butt out of the matter.
Israel's Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz says his country is building a large energy pipeline to export fuel to Europe.

"Turkstream" is set to become operational next year.
An adviser to Israel's Prime Minister accused of sexual misconduct is set to resign. That's the assessment of Israel's Civil Service Commission which was closing its disciplinary case involving David Keyes.
Keyes served as a spokesman to foreign media for Prime Minister and currently on a time out from his work.
An Israeli television news channel reported Thursday that the commission determined that the complaints from several women predated Keyes joining Israel's civil service. The commission believes that Keyes will now resign from his position.
The commission also determined that Israel's Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer's conduct did not require any disciplinary action. Dermer reportedly was made aware of Keyes conduct but did not report to the Prime Minister's Office.
A report in the Jerusalem Palestinian newspaper ("Al Quds") says that President Trump's "Deal of the Century" peace plan involving Israel and the Palestinians is on hold for now.
There were suggestions the plan was set to be unveiled next week, but the date has been moved to February 2019.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is blamed for the delay. Netanyahu has faced challenges to his government in recent days from conservative elements in his coalition who are not supportive of any concessions to the Palestinians.
In Paris today, Saturday, police are using tear gas against crowds demanding lower fuel prices. The "Yellow Jackets" met police using barriers and tear gas to keep them away from government buildings.
Some protestors yelling for France's President Emmanuel Macron to resign and France's Interior Minister blaming the protests on the opposition "National Rally", formerly known as the "National Front".
National Rally leader Marine Le Pen says he is not telling the truth.

In Sweden on Friday, the parliament speaker Andreas Norlen asked Social Democrat leader Stefan Lofven to make an attempt to form a new government. Norlen will formally nominate Lofven to be Prime Minister on December 3rd.
On Thursday the leader of the Center Party, Annie Loof, ended her bid to facilitate a cross party government that would exclude the anti-mass immigration Sweden Democrats from it.
She indicated the various parties had some agreements on issues but were farther apart on labor and immigration policy.
If the deadlock were to continue and new elections were needed, polling indicates gains for the Sweden Democrats.
Friday in Pakistan gunmen attacked the Chinese consulate in Karachi. No Chinese were hurt but four were killed in the attack including police guarding the building. The three gunmen shot dead by the police.
They were separatists from western Pakistan who oppose Chinese investment in their region.

Five children were killed in China Thursday when a car slammed into a group of children in the street outside a school in a northeastern Chinese city. 18 others were injured including 16 children.
Police arrested the driver two hours later in a rural area. The case is under investigation and the police did not offer a motive for what happened.
This and other mass attack incidents in China are described in government controlled media there as resulting from mental illness, alienation from society or a matter of settling scores.
Activist and investigative journalist Laura Loomer is on the list of those permanently banned from Twitter.
Her offense was criticizing Sharia Law.

The Turkish opposition leader Fetullah Gulen is being blamed for the killing of the Russian Ambassador in the Turkish capital Ankara on December 19, 2016, according to a Turkish news agency.
An Ankara court has received the indictments for 28 people in connection with the assassination of Andey Karlov committed by police officer Mevlut Mert Altintas who was shot dead by other police on the spot.
They include Gulen, who lives in exile in a compound near Altoona, Pennsylvania, and other members of his movement blamed by the Turkish government for a coup attempt earlier in 2016. The Turkish regime says Gulen and his movement were trying to hurt Russo-Turkish relations.
