jamal Khashoggi murdered by Saudi agents

This seems to have passed without much coverage, but Jamal Khashoggi, saudi arabian dissident and columnist for the Washington Post has apparently been murdered by Saudis. Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey last week for some routine paperwork and never came back out. The running theory is that he was murdered in the consulate by Saudi agents.

Needless to say this is shaping up into a major diplomatic issue between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the USA.

It is all over the news here.

Nice that such great democrats like Erdoghan protest so loudly about the killing of a foreign journalist, who has been critical of his own government. There are thousands of critical turkish journalists now being incarcerated or being killed in Turkey along with teachers and scientists, thanks to Erdoghan. Hypocrite.

Regarding the protest of the rest of the world... some words and self-righteous indignation for a few days, then back to business and oil deals.

B.t.w. what happened to the chinese head of Interpol?

Well ... no wonder, if a criminal is confirmed by other criminals as reputable office.
Formerly called the MAFIA. :03:

Edit:
It is about time that a new authority is founded - similar to and under J. Edgar Hoover - which crashes these criminals and, if necessary, eliminates them for the good of the people.

:yep:

We live in a really polarised world at the moment. Has all the aspects of an interbellum.

We might even experience WW3 in our time.

So true :yep: ...

America is just now getting back to normal with other news like a major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico now making landfall. :o

My thoughts about this:

If they find evidens he have been killed at the embassy. The only thing that's going to happen is Turkey will expel some diplomats and perhaps some employees from and Saidi Arabia will do the same.

Thereafter the air between these two countries will be very cold.

Second thoughts.

Everyone is saying he have been killed.

Couldn't he have been kidnapped ?

Or
This one I find very unlikely

He have defected

:yep:

Yeah they could wear black uniforms and jackboots and they could give themselves officious sounding names like "Obergruppenfuhrer",... oh wait, some other country already did that. :roll:

Was all over Fox and BBC news whilst I was away and as far as I'm aware the Saudis may be willing to admit his death was 'accidental' whilst undergoing interrogation :o

I'm thinking they'll pin it on a patsy. A mid level underling who exceeded orders. The royal family will remain blameless, some underling will get the chop.

Maybe Trump can advise the Saudis to use his favorite whipping boys: Deep State, lying media, Lying Hilary, Lying Bill, Lying Obama, Democrats, CNN, WaPo, etc., etc, ...

...hell, he's got a million excuses, he can spare a few... :D

<O>

Trump told reporters at the White House that "rogue killers," and not Saudi officials, may have gotten to Khashoggi. The president cited no specific evidence, but noted he had just spoken with Saudi King Salman, who denied that Riyadh was involved.
"I don’t want to get into his mind, but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?" Trump said.....There have been reports of 15 Saudi agents entering Turkey before Khashoggi arrived at the consulate and leaving the country following the journalist's disappearance.

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cp...-935190104.jpgOF COURSE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN WILL CLAIM ROGUE AGENTS WERE RESPONSIBLE; MY OWN SECRET SOURCES REPORT HE BOUGHT EACH ONE OF THE 15 AGENTS A 'SUITABLE' NEW CAR....

Saudi denials – and deflection – of any knowledge of Khashoggi’s whereabouts read from a Kremlin playbook, as does his alleged death.
Turkey, meanwhile – the world’s most prolific jailer of journalists – now finds itself in the peculiar position of being a champion for a columnist who vanished under it's nose! :haha:

I heard there's a gofundme to provide more mainstream journalists with free trips to the Saudi Consulate in Turkey. :D

well of course the mainstream (aka fake) news media is using this as yet another excuse to attack Trump since of course, everything revolves around Trump, but it turns out France, Britain and of course, Germany, :rolleyes: is also restraining from attacking Saudi Arabia.

Quote:

While Britain, France and Germany issued a joint statement over the weekend in which they called for a “credible investigation,” none of the three countries have gone beyond the remarks so far voiced by the White House. If anything, they’ve been even less vocal.

While U.S. pressure on Trump has been bipartisan, in Europe, calls to punish Saudi Arabia have mostly come from opposition parties. Britain’s Labour Party pressed the Conservative government over the weekend to stop arms sales to the country “until they changed their ways,” said Labour foreign policy expert Emily Thornberry. While German observers have lashed out at Trump for refusing to punish the Saudis, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman said the Khashoggi case and German exports to Riyadh were “two unrelated things.”

The European joint statement during the weekend made no reference to possible sanctions, and British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt later only said that the country would consider an “appropriate way to react” if the Saudis were found to be behind the writer’s disappearance.

Trump is doing what every other President would do in the same situation, walking the fine line between castigating Saudi Arabia while not throwing the alliance overboard.

We also all know that if Trump was pushing for a severe punishment, i.e, cancelling the arms contract, imposing sanctions, that the mainstream (aka fake) news media would be blaming him for over reacting and reporting on the possible negative impact to the U.S. economy...:haha:

Pompeo meets Erdogan over missing writer.

Quote:

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has held talks with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The meeting in Ankara comes amid fresh allegations in the Turkish media that Mr Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

On Tuesday, Mr Pompeo met Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in Riyadh.

He said Saudi Arabia's leaders "strongly denied" involvement in the writer's disappearance.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the meeting had been "beneficial and fruitful".

odd that the translation of the transmission of the Apple watch has not made it to the White House via the CIA to inform the President of what happened in that room.

Not on CNN either ... news cover up :hmmm:

I feel sorry for the President having to go it alone against a friend in the Muslim world we can trust to defeat Iran if need so.
