jamal Khashoggi murdered by Saudi agents

Bilge_Rat · 10-09-18, 02:11 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

So true

...

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

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
