Investigative Report:
Trouble Brewing in Jordan...Suppositions Exposed
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /

“I expect all the relevant bodies
to take matters into their own hands. We are not a banana republic."
- the words of
Zakaria al-Jawawdeh whose son was shot and killed by an Israeli
embassy security officer
In an incident that was kept quiet for
almost 11-hours as per a gag order issued by Israeli military
officials...kept quiet as a “precautionary measure” out of
fear for the safety of diplomats and security officers inside the
Israeli embassy compound in Amman, Jordan...last Monday, July
23rd... the public was finally informed that two Jordanian nationals
had been shot and killed...one dying on scene and the other dying
hours later at the hospital...after an attack occurred in a residence adjacent to the Israeli embassy complex...a residence where the director of embassy security lived. And while
injured in the attack was the security officer on scene, little
media coverage was given to this story because the story behind the
attack is bigger than the attack itself.
Briefly, the assailant...Mohammed al-Jawawdeh, a
17-year-old Palestinian from Amman... was sent by his father to the heavily guarded Israeli embassy
compound to deliver some furniture to one
of the adjacent residential quarters...when according to both Israeli and Jordanian authorities while doing so, al-Jawawdeh got into an argument with the Israeli security officer present...identified only by his first name Ziv...and attacked him with a screwdriver...attacked him in what Israelis believe was a premeditated attack no matter the Jordanian claim that it was over a late delivery. And in an
attempt to dodge al-Jawawdeh's screwdriver, the Israeli security officer pulled out his gun
and rightfully shot the Jordanian youth to death. And a second
Jordanian, 50-year old orthopedic surgeon and apartment landlord Dr. Bashar Hamarneh, who reports say "just happened" to be in the residential quarter at
the exact time of the shooting, was wounded in the ensuing gunfire,
later to die of his wounds.
But instead of condemning the attack on
the Israeli security officer by one of his own, King Abdullah's
deputy and head of the Royal Hashemite Court, one Fayez Al Tarawneh,
offered official condolences on behalf of the king to the family of
the young man killed. Remember, if the director had not shot
al-Jawawdeh, the director most likely would be the one dead. And to
make matters worse, King Abdullah himself, accompanied by Prime Minister Hani Al Mulki, attended the
funeral for al-Jawawdeh and visited with his family afterwards. In fact, the victim's father told the media present that the king told him that "Mohammed is
like a son of his" and that he promised to defend him in front of
international courts. Shades of when Obama said that if he had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin...birds of a feather no doubt.
But there is an interesting bit of information
being left out by the media about the Jordanian who died at the hospital, as in that Dr. Bashar al-Hamarneh is the cousin of Mustafa Hamarneh, King
Abdulla II's most senior and trusted advisor. And why do I mention this, because
also going unreported is the fact that there is a movement underway
in Jordan to peaceably topple the Abdullah government as he is no friend to the
Palestinian-Jordanian people who make up 60% of Jordan's population, no friend to Israel, and no friend to America. In fact,
Jordan has been the victim of a rising number of homegrown terrorist
attacks and security incidents because the king is either unable or
unwilling to institute substantive socio-economic reforms, end
corruption, and increase citizens’ rights as he is too busy being
the willing catalyst that keeps the Palestinian conflict going and
hence peace from being brought to the region. And dare I say that the
Jordanian military will also be happy to see Abdullah gone. More on
all this in a bit.
To continue...know that the wounded
security officer immediately reported the incident to Jordanian authorities
which saw Jordanian police arriving at the embassy to block all
access roads in and out of the embassy as they started an initial
investigation. And after the embassy personnel reported the incident
to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, Israel declared a state of emergency and all embassy diplomats and staff were
instructed to go to the embassy compound to prepare for a possible
evacuation back to Israel.
And while this was happening, Jordanian
authorities demanded to interrogate the security officer and tried
to prevent him from leaving the country even though it was obvious
that the shooting was justified...justified no matter that early
Jordanian reports claimed that al-Jawawdeh did not attack the guard
but was shot during an argument between the two. Of course Israel
refused what would have been an off-site and closed interrogation,
but did allow Jordanian police to secure a statement from the security officer, but to do so in the presence of Israeli diplomats. And this
was allowed even while knowing that the man in question had
diplomatic immunity and as such was immune from both interrogation
and detention under the Vienna Convention...in other words the
security officer was willing to speak as he had nothing to hide as
the facts spoke for themselves.
Once his statement was taken and but a
mere hour later, the entirety of the embassy staff boarded a vehicle
convoy and headed home to Israel. But doesn't it seem odd that the
entire diplomatic staff of a heavily fortified and armed embassy
would be the recipients of what amounts to a forced evacuation from a
country they are supposedly at peace with and whom they share
security interests with. And doesn't it seem odd that we are being
led to believe that it's all because of a 17-year old with a
screwdriver...indeed it does. But know that the evacuation has
nothing to do with said kid or a screwdriver but everything to do
with what I believe is uncovering a traitor in the king's midst...a traitor
whose actions could help lead to the king's downfall if the whole
story became known.
To again continue...reports out of
Israel said the security officer's release and the embassy staff's
surprisingly swift evacuation came immediately after a late day phone
call between Prime Minister Netanyahu and King Abdullah II himself.
And during their talk about the embassy incident, Abdullah 'just
happened' to broach the subject of the rising animosity between
Israel and Jordan over what the press refers to as the Temple Mount
crisis. Strongly calling for Netanyahu to resolve the issues relating
to this crisis and to do so as quickly as possible, Abdullah let it
be known that he wanted...that he demanded...the removal from the
Temple Mount and the Al-Aqsa mosque the metal detectors and cameras Israel had
recently put in place as a security measure...or so now says Jordan's
state news agency 'Petra.'
So it can be seen that the embassy
incident, at least on the surface, appears to have worked in Abdullah's
favor no matter that going unreported is Jordanian public outrage over the fact that Abdullah allowed the security officer to leave...a deal of sorts that allowed Israel to
bring its people home alive in exchange for the removal of said metal
detectors and cameras.
And following the staff's safe return home we see the media trying to excuse or downplay the embassy attack
as either an unjustified attack on an innocent youth or as an isolated reaction by a religiously devout young man to the
metal detectors and security cameras... equipment installed by Israel in
response to last month's terror attack that saw three islamists
killing two Israeli guards. Claiming that the metal detectors negated
a pact under which Jordan is the muslim custodian of the comings and
goings of those visiting and praying at the mosque, Waqf religious
leaders called for muslims to boycott the mosque and hold prayers
outside in the streets. Calling for peaceful protests...which we know
are never peaceful when islamists are involved...these week long
protests rife with violence and altercations with Israeli police
ended with a Palestinian man sneaking into an Israeli West Bank home
and killing three Israelis sitting around the dinner table.
And yet much to everyone's surprise, Benjamin Netanyahu acquiesced
to what appears on the surface to be Abdullah's demands...but was
that really why he did what he did...I think not...for while Jordan
can now publicly 'save face' over their complicity...yes
complicity... in the Israeli embassy attack...the stage has been set
for Abdullah's possible removal from power and clear Israel of having
any hand in it.
But before we delve into that we must revisit Dr. Bashar
al-Hamarneh, the 'supposedly' innocent man caught in the crossfire in the
security director's apartment. First we must ask why was he
there...was he just a friend of the director there on a visit; as
landlord of the apartment was it he who let al-Jawawdeh in to do his
scheduled delivery; or was the good doctor working in secret with the
director against the king...a king many say has no love for his own
people.
And while at this point in time no conclusion drawn can be thought of
as definitive truth, it is odd that sites I researched and photos of the doctor that I saw yesterday are either redacted or have been removed from
the search engines today. And this is the only photo of his Christian funeral I could find after many hours of searching...surprisingly the doctor was a Christian as is his cousin Mustafa (there are roughly 100,000 Palestinian Christians living in Jordan). So I offer two possibilities that could
answer some questions and fill in some blanks that both the media and
the king seem to be trying to hide and trying to silence.
Possibility one: remember that Dr. Bashar al-Hamarneh was the first
cousin of Mustafa Hamarneh, the king's most trusted senior advisor,
and know that Middle East family dynamics dictate many family
gatherings. During one of these family gatherings could words said by
his cousin been overheard by the doctor...a doctor not a fan of the
king and a member of the opposition perhaps...and that the doctor
went to the apartment to pass on to the director of security some
critical information regarding a comprise of Israeli security within
Jordan; to give him much needed Jordanian security protocols or lack
thereof; or even to pass on information concerning the king and his
role in the Palestinian attacks happening within Israel itself. In
other words, was Dr. Bashar Hamarneh himself an operative for Israel,
was he overheard by the Jordanian young man passing on information to
the Israeli, a fight ensued between he loyal to the king and the
others, a stabbing followed, and a gun was fired leaving two
dead...with a wound inflicted in such a way that it would lead to the
doctor's death...a must to keep his identity and mission secret and
safe.
Possibility two and what I believe to be the most likely scenario:
while the press continues to portray the screwdriver
yielding Mohammed al-Jawawdeh as both a hero and the only victim, they deliberately
leave out any coverage of Dr. Hamarneh beside saying he died at the
hospital...saying nothing about the nature of his wounds or his
ensuing death; saying nothing about why he was at the scene of what
was 'supposedly' a routine furniture delivery; saying nothing about his funeral; or even that he was
the cousin of the king's most trusted advisor. And why...
Remember when I said that the king's own people are no fan of his
no matter the staged rallies televised 'supposedly' in his support...no matter that
Abdullah is being portrayed as a Westernized modern monarch 'supposedly'
duly-engaged in the fight against terrorism... well let it be known
that the Abdullah we see in front of the cameras is very different
than the Abdullah lurking behind the cameras. How so...Abdullah
supports and empowers both the Muslim Brotherhood...whose global
headquarters are but a mere three miles away from his own
palace...and the killing machine known as ISIS whom he supplies with
equipment and monies...and has done so for many years.
And no matter diversionary media reports or photo-ops to the contrary, King
Abdullah II is no friend to Israel for his wish is to keep the
Palestinians in question a problem for Israel alone to deal with so that he
does not have to, for Abdullah has no desire to absorb the Palestinians back into Jordan...as the king does not want to have to feed, clothe, shelter, and educate at great expense to Jordan a now uneducated and militant people even thought they are actually fellow
Jordanians themselves. And why...because Abdullah's loyalty above all
else is to his self-perceived power and love of money fueled on by an
innate sense of greed and his longing to be a key 'player' on the
world stage. But how can one be a key 'player' when one turns his back on his people, and when one's own military
questions and keeps one eye open in regards to any decisions he
makes...simply they cannot.
And while over the years many articles have been written about
Abdullah's ties to both the Muslim Brotherhood and to ISIS..no need
to rehash those specifics at this time...in fact I too have written
about those ties which you can read about here:
A
Letter, a King's Words, and a Truth That Must Be Told...and here:
King Abdullah...a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing...but what
is critical now is the fact that those he trusts most might possibly
be working against him for they know truths the media dare not speak.
So where am I going with this...how do these scattered puzzle pieces start fitting together? Perhaps the king's
own advisors are not to be so trusted as he thinks...as in could his most trusted senior advisor Mustafa Hamarneh actually owe his true allegiance to the
king's opposition and could he have 'fed' his cousin, the now deceased Dr.
Bashar Hamarneh, critical information to give to and aid the Israelis. Could
the good doctor have been the 'middle man'...as in the
go-between...between his cousin and the Israelis especially since his
being the on-site residence's landlord would not raise eyebrows of the
Jordanian authorities if he was seen conversing with Israelis living on the
grounds. Remember, too much suspicion would be raised if Mustafa himself was
ever caught on Israeli embassy grounds without Abdullah's knowledge.
And could both men have been silently opposed to the king for a long time as both men are of Palestinian-Jordanian
descent, and we know well that the Palestinians in Jordan are treated at best as second class
citizens. Remember, while Abdullah politically speaks of the Palestinians plight, he personally wants nothing to do with what are his true blood brethren...the 'so-called' Palestinians living in Gaza and
the West Bank...for to him better they live over there instead of in Jordan proper. To all that I say yes...the 'coulds' cited are indeed possible and I
believe most likely are.
Supposition I know but sometimes supposition is all we have when
putting pieces of a difficult puzzle together...and sometimes
supposition...educated supposition...does turn out to be truth.
Now as for my alluding that the Jordanian military is not in
Abdullah's corner...here I believe is why...while King Abdullah II supports
and even funds ISIS the last thing he wants is ISIS overrunning
Jordan forcing him out of power...forcing him to either leave the
country in forced exile or face not too pleasant of consequences not only at
the hands of ISIS but at the hands of the Palestinian-Jordanian people
he and his government have treated for years as second class citizens as well...many of
whom wear Jordan's uniform. In fact, some in his army have actually
joined ISIS...joined them because they have not forgotten that while
Abdullah has welcomed more than a million Syrian refugees into his
country he still refuses to repatriate the Palestinian-Jordanians
living in the occupied territories back into their rightful homeland
of Jordan...proving that ancestral blood ties are indeed thicker
than royal Hashemite water.
And Abdullah is a king who loves to spend more time out of Jordan
than in Jordan. And know that Abdullah is a wealthy man...a very wealthy man...to the
tune of a net worth of $750 million...and owns many homes around the
world, meaning exile for him would be an exile replete with luxuries
few of us will ever know. And one of those homes is right here in
America...in Idaho in fact...where in 2015 and 2016 Abdullah participated
in the Sun Valley Economic Forum held in Idaho. While there he met
with several U.S. and international business people and presidents of
leading companies, and discussed with them ways to enhance economic
cooperation with Jordan as he felt all could benefit from
opportunities and incentives that the
“Jordanian investment
environment provides,” as well as the trade agreements
connecting Jordan with major global markets.
And in his efforts to become an A-list world player, Abdullah also
spoke of regional and international issues, prime of which was that
the Syrian issue could only be solved through diplomacy...of course he did as Abdullah is a supporter of ISIS and dare not call for their total
destruction. Please refer to the Jordanian Opposition Coalition's
Secretary General Mudar Zahran's in-depth article showing said ties
here:
Jordan’s
King Supports ISIS; YES, You Did Read This Right!
And here's an interesting little side note about the king's Idaho
home...a home that is actually a working potato farm...King Abdullah
II is a major shareholder in the American snack company 'Frito-Lay' where two out of
three of their potato chip bags produced and sold are made from potatoes
grown on Abdullah's farm...and he gets monies from each and every sale. And
Abdullah also profits from tomatoes grown in Mexico that get sold
here in the U.S...just an example of more silent islamic intrusion
into these United States...this time economic style by a man who
relishes in being called the 'Warrior King' but who in reality is
anything but.
So now as tensions once again heat up in Jerusalem, as late this
past Thursday afternoon new protests began in the Bab Hutta
neighborhood in the muslim quarter of the Old City, when a gate
leading from said neighborhood to the Temple Mount was closed. And
while the gate was later opened allowing hundreds of muslims into the
compound, the attacking of Israeli police on the Temple Mount
continues on. And this is even after, on Netanyahu's orders, the
security cameras and metal detectors at entrances to both the Temple Mount and the Al-Asqa mosque
were dismantled. And again who is custodian of this site and
mosque...Jordan...whose king sits back and remains silent as focus
is palace manipulated to shift back to media coverage of an angry mob still protesting at the evacuated Israeli embassy...the embassy
where an a Israeli embassy officer rightfully shot dead a 17-year old
Jordanian civilian...a terrorist youth on a mission possibly ordered
by the king himself... a terrorist youth whose killer Abdullah now
demands Israel put on trial.
Shouting the words and carrying banners stating
“Death to Israel'...just like the Iranians
do...these protesters want the peace treaty with Israel torn up...simply because an Israeli bested one of their own terrorist
kind...and it's all in a misguided show of a support for a king who
could care less about them...a king who wants the tensions upped
a notch in a much needed attempt to save both face and his throne from the very
ones he supports...from the very ones who would so willingly kill him in a
heartbeat if given the chance.
And while this anything but 'Warrior King' remains publicly
silent about the movements and people working behind the scenes to
overthrow him and bring secular democracy to Jordan...for what are
kingdoms but tyranny and subjugation dressed in flowing robes and
golden crowns...Benjamin Netanyahu is sitting back with a smile on his face knowing well that his publicly perceived acquiescing to
Abdullah to get his people safely home was anything but
acquiescing for it was a clever maneuver to help show that
Abdullah is not what he seems on the surface, and to make sure that Israel is long
gone from the scene in Amman when the opposition does move
forward in removing Abdullah from power.
And mark my words it will happen...maybe it will begin in just as
short as six months time...for King Abdullah II...except for support
from the radicals...looses the Jordanian people's support by the day
as he continues to stir the Palestinian pot in an effort to feed his
own self-perceived importance on the world stage.

answer some questions and fill in some blanks that both the media and
the king seem to be trying to hide and trying to silence.
So while President Trump keeps being advised not to
designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization...advised by those
truly not on America’s side or by those ignorant to the facts...know that
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and even Syria consider the Muslim
Brotherhood a terrorist organization whose goal is to overthrow their
existing governments and install one of their own. One just has to look back to
Egypt to see this has already been tried but thankfully in the end failed, for
remember when the Muslim Brotherhood led the toppling of Hosni Mubarak’s
pro-West government and installed their puppet President Mohamed El-Morsi who
in turn was toppled by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s military led coup. 
Briefly, after the Muslim Brotherhood was born in Egypt in
1928, affiliated groups starting popping up throughout the region. In fact,
then King Abdullah I of Transjordan wanted Abdul-Hakim Abidin, the
brother-in-law of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna’s, to lead a
new Jordanian government. And while he refused, the Muslim Brotherhood still became
fully functioning and operational in both Transjordan and in then called Palestine
by 1942, and was given ‘official recognition’ by King Abdullah I in 1946. 
Now fast forward to present day Jordan where the Muslim
Brotherhood maintains a close alliance with the monarchy, and know that King
Abdullah II is directly tied to the Brotherhood no matter his and Jordan’s
smoke-and-mirrors cursory role in the Syrian conflict and in the ‘War on
Terror’...for the fact is that Abdullah is still paying off the ‘debt’ to the
Brotherhood incurred by his late father King Hussein and his grandfather King
Abdullah I before him. And that debt started in the 1950's when King Hussein (who
became king after the assassination of Abdullah l) relied on the Muslim
Brotherhood...the region’s main islamist movement at that time...to help
protect his Hashemite kingdom against threats of revolution and overthrow from other
Arab nationalist movements. 
And after the Muslim Brotherhood did so well in Jordan’s 1989
election...garnering 23 out of Jordan’s Parliament’s 80 seats...King Hussein allowed
them to hold five ministry positions no matter that he reined them in a bit
after their showing strong opposition to his peace treaty with Israel...a peace treaty in
appearance alone as it is a peace treaty not to be trusted, for Abdullah
the son has still not repaid that debt in full and he must do so or face reprisals
by the Muslim Brotherhood’s henchmen...henchmen of both the political and tangible sort.
And with Abdullah knowing well that unless he can make the
divide work in his favor as well as repaying in-full the debt of his father and
grandfather, that he cannot nor will he be permitted to keep his throne, thus
he allows the Muslim Brotherhood needed space to operate from, helping to assure that
both his authority as king and the continuity of the monarchy in Jordan will
remain...at least for the time being.
So King Abdullah II's words that islamic terrorism...of which the Muslim
Brotherhood both fully supports and finances...is the “greatest threat to our region” and that “Muslims must lead the fight against it”...become mere empty words
for all terrorism leads back to Jordan as ground zero because of Jordan's decades long support for the Brotherhood. And Abdullah knows this but will
try his best to keep this fact hidden from others.
Now as for Hamas’ somewhat recent breakaway of sorts from Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood’s
leadership and King Abdullah II’s role in how they operate....first, while Hamas remains
part of the Brotherhood’s ideological base organization they do operate
independently from them as it benefits strategically (in their war against
Israel) both from Jordan’s Palestinian presence and its 60% and growing Palestinian
population. And second, those very numbers allow Hamas to operate in
the open while Abdullah looks away as the Hamas-linked reformist sector gains
control of the IAF who are no longer content with the political role they had
traditionally played in Jordan, as now they want to be influential players in the
political decision-making process. And thanks to Abdullah’s inactions and his still ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, they are.
"The brotherhood
is everywhere in the world where there are Muslims," so said Murad
Adeleih, spokesman for the Islamic Action Front (IAF), the Muslim Brotherhood’s
Amman-based political wing.
