wrote of the importance of a free press in the Arab world while praising Qatar.

Citing crackdowns on the press by Egyptian and Saudi officials, Khashoggi warned such actions "no longer carry the consequence of a backlash from the international community".

Khashoggi wrote that the "ripe" hope of future freedoms felt by many during the Arab Spring of 2011, which saw popular uprisings throughout the Middle East, had been "shattered".

"There are a few oases that continue to embody the spirit of the Arab Spring. Qatar's government continues to support international news coverage, in contrast to its neighbours' efforts to uphold the control of information to support the 'old Arab order'," he wrote.

"The Arab world is facing its own version of an Iron Curtain, imposed not by external actors but through domestic forces vying for power," wrote the Post contributor and US resident,who disappeared entering Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul on October 2.

"The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events. More important, we need to provide a platform for Arab voices," Khashoggi wrote.

"Through the creation of an independent international forum, isolated from the influence of nationalist governments spreading hate through propaganda, ordinary people in the Arab world would be able to address the structural problems their societies face."

"Arab governments have been given free rein to continue silencing the media at an increasing rate," he wrote.

"There was a time when journalists believed the Internet would liberate information from the censorship and control associated with print media. But these governments, whose very existence relies on the control of information, have aggressively blocked the Internet.

"As a result, Arabs living in these countries are either uninformed or misinformed. They are unable to adequately address, much less publicly discuss, matters that affect the region and their day-to-day lives."

REPORT: Slain Journalist Jamal Khashoggi Was Acting As Anti-American Foreign Agent For Terror Group December 28, 2018 by DCWhispers  The implications are troubling to say the least given the direct link to a leading U.S. news organization—the Washington Post. According to a just-published Independent Sentinel report, deceased Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi was in fact an operative for the Muslim Brotherhood, the government of Qatar, and a friend to Osama Bin Laden. This information was and is widely known throughout various media agencies and yet has received almost no coverage. Instead, the Establishment Media has elevated Khashoggi to media martyr status and used his death to attack the Trump administration, once again ignoring truth in favor of politically biased, anti-American “reporting.

Perhaps most problematic for Khashoggi were his connections to an organization funded by Saudi Arabia’s regional nemesis, Qatar. Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government. Khashoggi also appears to have relied on a researcher and translator affiliated with the organization, which promotes Arabic-language education in the United States.

this Washington Post report, indicating that Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist murdered in Istanbul this year, was closely in league with the Qataris, very interesting, given how criticalBrookings has been of Saudi Arabia over the murder.
The Post report shows they even went so far as to help him draft his columns to make them more critical of Saudi Arabia. According to the Washington Post, it was while Khashoggi was attending a conference in Qatar that the Saudi government formally banned him from writing anything. All of this raises the question, was Khashoggi a Qatari asset?
This is the most damning paragraph of the Post’s report:
‘Khashoggi also appears to have accepted significant help with his columns. Salem, the executive at the Qatar foundation, reviewed his work in advance and in some instances appears to have proposed language, according to a voluminous collection of messages obtained by the Post.’
This one’s pretty bad too:
‘Other texts in the 200-page trove indicate that Salem’s organization paid a researcher who did work for Khashoggi. The foundation is an offshoot of a larger Qatar-based organization. Khashoggi also relied on a translator who worked at times for the Qatari embassy and the foundation.’

Bombshell: New Info Says Khashoggi Was A Foreign Influence Agent Federalist
Jamal Khashoggi’s op-eds published in the very influential Washington Post certainly qualify as attempts to change U.S. policy against Saudi Arabia and in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.

DECEMBER 27, 2018
The Washington Post has caused itself a major scandal since it has come to light they and their martyred “reformer” Jamal Khashoggi were publishing anti-Saudi propaganda for Qatar. They tried to bury this in a pre-Christmas Saturday news dump, but that can’t stop the damage this will do to their reputation.

“Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government,” the Post wrote December 21.

The Post says they were unaware of this, although Khashoggi’s Qatar connections were well known. They will have to answer for what is either incompetence in connecting these dots or simply not caring as Khashoggi’s attacks on President Trump and the Saudis fit right in with their narrative. The Qatar Foundation denies they were paying him to produce the anti-Saudi material.

But during Security Studies Group research for our report on the information operation after his death, we heard from reliable sources familiar with the investigation that documents showing wire transfers from Qatar were found in his apartment in Turkey. They were immediately put out of reach by Turkish security services, so they did not show the collusion between Khashoggi, Qatar, and Turkey prior to his death
