Germany's leading right-of-center daily Die Welt this morning reveals that Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist, but a high-level operative for the Saudi intelligence service, an intimate of Osama bin Laden, and the nephew of the shadiest of all Arab arms dealers, the infamous Adnan Khashoggi. John Bradley reported last week in the Spectator that Khashoggi, who allegedly met a grisly end in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization that among other things wants to replace the Saudi monarchy with a modern Islamist totalitarian state.
So much for the whining in the Establishment media about freedom of the press and protection of the rights of journalists. The presumed-dead Khashoggi was a top-level spook who swore fealty to some of the Arab world's nastiest elements, and who played a high-stakes game in Saudi spookdom. We don't know why he disappeared, but we know what we don't know.
Among other things, we know that Khashoggi was bitterly opposed to the new Saudi government's rapprochement with the state of Israel. As a Muslim Brotherhood member, he backed Palestinian intransigence.

Heh.
So he was a muslim brotherhood hardliner and they showed him what hardliners look like, up close and personal? And we should go to war with them over it? Not interested.
Times had something about someone from another spy agency recognizing two of the Saudis in the group at the consulate. That is intriguing. Trying to find the story. It was anytime from Thursday onward. And as I remember it, that seemed to prove to the Times that the Saudis were responsible.
Nothing but a Deep State set-up.
I’ve been wondering how he might be related to Adnan Khashoggi, the notorious arms dealer. So it is a nephew, interesting....and the family is Turkish in origin.

Don’t cry for me, Argentina...
We must take careful note of the whiners in the Republican Party who claim this episode requires U.S. action against our very important NEW ALLY, Mohammad bin Salman of S.A.
I can’t help but equate these infantile reactions to the stupid cries of: “But Dr. Fraud was sooooo convincing.”
This is an internal Saudi issue. The “victim” was neither an American nor an actual journalist, but a leader of the MB and political enemy of the Wahhabi regime.
He is/was NO FRIEND OF AMERICA.
The untrustworthy neocon/Bush tools who are trying to make a big deal out of this, like Marco Rubio, must NEVER BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
They are threatening the greatest movement in decades towards improvement in the Middle East, a movement instigated by President Trump and Mohammad bin Salman.
I can only surmise the many creeps who are attacking MbS have their hands in the old SA cookie jar, the same one that was fattening HRC.
If McCain was still around, he would have jumped on this. He always loved to fight on the wrong side.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yep. I almost mentioned how Rubio is tracking towards being the new McCain.
Isn't it bizarre to realize the Rs actually nominated him? Hopefully those bad times are over forever now.
Does WaPo count as 'another spy agency'?
Meanwhile....
The anti-American left DNC, the Russians, the Turks, and the Iranians, would like for nothing less, than to dismantle all of Trump’s ME successes, and to destroy all opposition to their anti-Israel Shia Cresent.
This one single highly questionable incident, most likely carefully planned and set up by our real adversaries, would solidify Russia’s control of oil pipelines to Europe, forces SA to look elsewhere (Russia/China) for articles of defense, and shatters the greatest possible friendly realignment of the ME and Araba with Israel, leaving Israel horrifically exposed, and likely hastens a real WWIII.
Tell this to lil Marco...
Amen
No more Crists. No more Kasichs.
FWIW our pal A Jones tonight said his Pentagon sources say it was a false flag meant to undo Trump’s deal with MBS and disable/topple the MBS regime. Also meant to preserve/restore Obama’s deal with Iran.
Said Hillary and Obama reportedly behind it and involved. Said Trump’s revealing Mattis’s departure may not be coincidental. Has been hearing of Mattis’s double dealing for some time.

What a surprise to hear this...yawn. And in more news, the sun is hot.
“a Muslim Brotherhood member,”
Key point.
