UPDATE:
According to Wikipedia, the Banu Hanifa of Najd, a Christian tribe that once controlled extensive land in Arabia, gave birth to the ancestors of the Sauds (no citation).
ORIGINAL POST
This is the second part of a two-part piece on the Donmeh and their secretive manipulation of the Middle East, written in 2011 by Wayne Madsen (of the Madsen Report) for Strategic-Culture.org.
The Donmeh constitute an affluent crypto-Jewish, neo-Sabbatean group in Turkey that practices endogamy and has considerable political influence.

THE 2002 IRAQI REPORT ON THE ORIGINS OF THE HOUSE OF SAUD
What will surprise those who may already be surprised about the Dönmeh connection to Turkey, is the Dönmeh connection to the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia.
An Iraqi Mukhabarat (General Military Intelligence Directorate) Top Secret report, “The Emergence of Wahhabism and its Historical Roots,”dated September 2002.
Lila: The study begins on page 8. of the pdf linked above.
and released on March 13, 2008, by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency in translated English form, points to the Dönmeh roots of the founder of the Saudi Wahhabi sect of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab.
THE MEMOIRS OF MR. HUMFER, THE BRITISH SPY
Much of the information is gleaned from the memoirs of a “Mr. Humfer,” (as spelled in the DIA report, “Mr. Hempher” as spelled the historical record) a British spy who used the name “Mohammad,” claimed to be an Azeri who spoke Turkish, Persian, and Arabic and who made contact with Wahhab in the mid-18th century with a view of creating a sect of Islam that would eventually bring about an Arab revolt against the Ottomans and pave the way for the introduction of a Jewish state in Palestine. Humfer’s memoirs are recounted by the Ottoman writer and admiral Ayyub Sabri Pasha in his 1888 work, The Beginning and Spreading of Wahhabism.”

The neoconservative polemicist dismisses the Hempher story as evidence of Muslim conspiracy-mongering, but provides no evidence for his dismissal. I will follow up on the claim that the Hempher story is a hoax concocted by Sufis who detested the strict Wahhabi sect and is being disseminated by Western journalists to destabilize the House of Saud, which is the final goal of the neo-conservative plan for the Middle East, as described in The Project for a New American Century.

In his book, “The Dönmeh Jews,” D. Mustafa Turan writes that Wahhab’s grandfather, Tjen Sulayman, was actually Tjen Shulman, a member of the Jewish community of Basra, Iraq.
The Iraqi intelligence report also states that in his book, “The Dönmeh Jews and the Origin of the Saudi Wahhabis,” Rifat Salim Kabar
(LILA: Link to book not found).
reveals that Shulman eventually settled in the Hejaz, in the village of al-Ayniyah what is now Saudi Arabia, where his grandson founded the Wahhabi sect of Islam. The Iraqi intelligence report states that Shulman had been banished from Damascus, Cairo, and Mecca for his “quackery.”
SHULMAN, THE GRANDFATHER OF MUHAMMAD WAHHAB
In the village, Shulman sired Abdul Wahhab. Abdel Wahhab’s son, Muhammad, founded modern Wahhabism.
The Iraqi report also makes some astounding claims about the Saud family.
It cites Abdul Wahhab Ibrahim al-Shammari’s book, “The Wahhabi Movement: The Truth and Roots”

which states that King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, the first Kingdom of Saudi Arabia monarch, was descended from Mordechai bin Ibrahim bin Moishe, a Jewish merchant also from Basra.
In Nejd, Moishe joined the Aniza tribe and changed his name to Markhan bin Ibrahim bin Musa. Eventually, Mordechai married off his son, Jack Dan, who became Al-Qarn, to a woman from the Anzah tribe of the Nejd.
From this union, the future Saud family was born.
The Iraqi intelligence document reveals that the researcher Mohammad Sakher was the subject of a Saudi contract murder hit for his examination into the Sauds’ Jewish roots.
FORGERY OF SAUD-WAHHAB DESCENT FROM PROPHET MOHAMMED
In Said Nasir’s book, “The History of the Saud Family”
it is maintained that in 1943, the Saudi ambassador to Egypt, Abdullah bin Ibrahim al Muffadal, paid Muhammad al Tamami to forge a family tree showing that the Sauds and Wahhabs were one family that descended directly from the Prophet Mohammed.
LINK: “The House of Saud in Commerce,” Sharaf Sabri, 2001. A family tree of the House of Saud can be seen on page 293. I cannot list the whole table, but it says that the Saud ancestor Miqria is descended from Rabia Bin Mane, Emir of Diriyiah and Mohammed (died, 6500). Miqria’s son was Mohammed, father of Saud (died, 1725), the founder of the House of Saud.
At the outset of World War I, a Jewish British officer from India, David Shakespeare, met with Ibn Saud in Riyadh and later led a Saudi army that defeated a tribe opposed to Ibn Saud.
In 1915, Ibn Saud met with the British envoy to the Gulf region, Bracey Cocas. Cocas made the following offer to Ibn Saud: “I think this is a guarantee for your endurance as it is in the interest of Britain that the Jews have a homeland and existence, and Britain’s interests are, by all means, in your interest.”
Ibn Saud, the descendant of Dönmeh from Basra, responded: “Yes, if my acknowledgement means so much to you, I acknowledge thousand times granting a homeland to the Jews in Palestine or other than Palestine.”
BALFOUR’S LETTER SUPPORTING CREATION OF ISRAEL
Two years later, British Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour, in a letter to Baron Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Zionists, stated: “His Majesty’s government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people . . .”
The deal had the tacit backing of two of the major players in the region, both descendant from Dönmeh Jews who supported the Zionist cause, Kemal Ataturk and Ibn Saud.
The present situation in the Middle East should be seen in this light but the history of the region has been purged by certain religious and political interests for obvious reasons.
After World War I, the British facilitated the coming to power of the Saud regime in the former Hejaz and Nejd provinces of the Ottoman Empire.
SAUDIS AND KEMALISTS ATTACK SUNNIS AND SHIAS
The Sauds established Wahhabism as the state religion of the new Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and, like the Kemalist Dönmeh in Turkey, began to move against other Islamic beliefs and sects, including the Sunnis and Shi’as.
The Wahhabi Sauds accomplished what the Kemalist Dönmeh were able to achieve in Turkey: a fractured Middle East that was ripe for Western imperialistic designs and laid the groundwork for the creation of the Zionist state of Israel.
DONMEH DEEP STATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Deep states and Dönmeh
During two visits to Turkey in 2010, I had the opportunity of discussing the Ergenekon “deep state” with leading Turkish officials. It was more than evident that discussions about the Ergenekon network and its “foreign” connections are a highly-sensitive subject. However, it was also whispered by one high-ranking Turkish foreign policy official that there were other “deep states” in surrounding nations and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria were mentioned by name.
MY COMMENT
What is most interesting to me about this piece is the timing. The piece came out in 2011 and was disseminated all over the net in 2013.
However, none of this information is new. The influence of the Donmeh, for example, is well-known to experts in religion, even in the West. The information was also widely published on the Internet nearly ten years ago on anti-Semitic or white nationalist sites.
Note: I first incorrectly identified the blog and have corrected it below.
[Update: I have removed the links, because I see that it is pulling up a page I don’t want linked here.]
Christopher Jon Bjerknes’ blog.
(I don’t support Bjerknes’ positions. I am simply showing that this information was out on the web.
Bjerknes wrote about the Donmeh in 2006.
Another Jewish journalist wrote about the Donmeh origin of Kemal Ataturk in the mainstream.
LINK: New York Sun, 2007:
Its strongest item was a chapter in a long-forgotten autobiography of the Hebrew journalist, Itamar Ben-Avi, who described in his book a chance meeting on a rainy night in the late winter of 1911 in the bar of a Jerusalem hotel with a young Turkish captain.
Tipsy from too much arak, the captain confided to Ben-Avi that he was Jewish and recited the opening Hebrew words of the Shema Yisra’el or “Hear O Israel” prayer, which almost any Jew or Doenmeh — but no Turkish Muslim — would have known.
QUESTION: When this information is ignored for several years and then resurfaces around the time the Middle East is being progressively destabilized, should this be treated as disinformation at this point?
QUESTION: Do these revelations (whether accurate or not) contribute to the destabilization of the area by discrediting existing regimes in a way that helps the NWO by legitimizing the Arab Spring and undermining conservative regimes of any kind, by association?
The Donmeh and the House of Saud (continued)
Considering the links between Ergenekon and the Dönmeh in Turkey and the close intelligence and military links between the Dönmeh-descendent Sauds and Wahhabis in Arabia, the reports of close links between ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his intelligence chief Omar Suleiman and the Binyamin Netanyahu government in Israel may be seen in an entirely new light…
WHY ERDOGAN SUPPORTED REVOLUTION
And it would explain Erdogan’s support for Egypt’s revolution: in Turkey, it was a democratic revolution that curbed the influence of the Dönmeh. The influence of Wahhabi Salafists in Libya’s new government also explains why Erdogan was keen on establishing relations with the Benghazi-based rebels to help supplant the influence of the Wahhabis, the natural allies of his enemies, the Dönmeh (Ergenekon) of Turkey.
Erdogan’s desire to set the historical record straight by restoring history purged by the Kemalists and Dönmeh has earned him vitriolic statements from Israel’s government that he is a neo-Ottomanist who is intent on forming an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab countries.
Clearly, the Dönmeh and their Zionist brethren in Israel and elsewhere are worried about Dönmeh and Zionist historical revisionism, including their role in the Armenian and Assyrian genocide, and their genocide denial being exposed.
In Egypt, which was once an Ottoman realm, it was a popular revolution that tossed out what may have amounted to the Dönmeh with regard to the Mubarak regime. The Egyptian “Arab Spring” also explains why the Israelis were quick to kill six Egyptian border police so soon after nine Turkish passengers were killed aboard the Mavi Marmara, some in execution style, by Israeli troops.
DONMEH-HASIDIC DOCTRINE AND THE AMALEKITES
Dönmeh doctrine is rife with references to the Old Testament Amalekites, a nomadic tribe ordered attacked by the Hebrews from Egypt by the Jewish God to make room for Moses’s followers in the southern region of Palestine.
In the Book of Judges, God unsuccessfully commands Saul: “Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, and infant, ox, and sheep, camel and donkey.”
The Dönmeh, whose doctrine is also present in Hasidic and other orthodox sects of Judaism, appear to have no problem substituting the Armenians, Assyrians, Turks, Kurds, Egyptians, Iraqis, Lebanese, Iranians, and Palestinians for the Amalekites in carrying out their military assaults and pogroms.
With reformist governments in Turkey and Egypt much more willing to look into the background of those who have split the Islamic world, Ataturk in Turkey and Mubarak in Egypt, the Sauds are likely very much aware that it is only a matter of time before their links, both modern and historical, to Israel will be fully exposed.
It makes sense that the Sauds have been successful in engineering a dubious plot involving Iranian government agents trying to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington in an unnamed Washington, DC restaurant. The Iraqi intelligence report could have been referring to the Zionists and Dönmeh when it stated, “it strives to . . . [the] killing of Muslims, destructing, and promoting the turmoil.” In fact, the Iraqi intelligence report was referring to the Wahhabis.
With new freedom in Turkey and Egypt to examine their pasts, there is more reason for Israel and its supporters, as well as the Sauds, to suppress the true histories of the Ottoman Empire, secular Turkey, the origins of Israel, and the House of Saud.
With various players now angling for war with Iran, the true history of the Dönmeh and their influence on past and current events in the Middle East becomes more important.”
