In high school, Jamal Khashoggi had a good friend. His name was Osama bin Laden.
“We were hoping to establish an Islamic state anywhere,” Khashoggi reminisced about their time together in the Muslim Brotherhood. “We believed that the first one would lead to another, and that would have a domino effect which could reverse the history of mankind.”
The friendship endured with Jamal Khashoggi following Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan. Khashoggi credited Adel Batterjee, listed at one time as one of “the world’s foremost terrorist financiers” by the Treasury Department, with bringing him to Afghanistan to report on the fighting.
But unlike Osama bin Laden, Khashoggi did not use the Muslim Brotherhood as a gateway drug to the pure and uncut violence of Al Qaeda or ISIS. He was still betting on a political takeover.
As he recently put it, “Democracy and political Islam go together.”
Khashoggi went on making the case for the Islamic state of the Muslim Brotherhood. He went on making that case even as the Saudis decided that the Brotherhood had become too dangerous.

President Trump is being wise in NOT taking the bait.
@KurtSchlichter
I wish Democrats cared as much about American citizens murdered by illegal aliens here as they do about foreigners murdering foreigners in foreign countries.
Rubio and Romney are acting really creepy around this topic.
Is that the claim now? That anti-MBS forces murdered him to undermine his rule?
The media, the deep-state, the dems, rinos and neverTrumpers are on the same outrage page on this incident.
The same forces that want Trump gone. It’s all too clear. They protest too much...
Sitting on a fence before an election suits these azzholes.....little Marco can’t wipe his butt without getting approval.... FROM ANYBODY!
The only difference, he was killed and then dismembered, a drone strike would have done both at the same time.
The media will protect their own, and Khashoggi was one of theirs. From all the reports it is hard to know, he may have been a CIA asset, he was definitely a mouthpiece for the Kingdom working in the US and UK embassies. Whatever the case though we can’t condone assassinations like this. If he was a traitor to SA then they should have extradited him and tried him.
Good observation.

Certainly a possibility, Trump is wise investigating.....there is a low-level civil war going on over between the Muslim Brotherhood and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.....
Was this a murder or a staged atrocity to isolate the Prince?
Total bs. It’s. none. of. our. business.
Shouldn’t ‘our’ media, ‘our’ representatives be more concerned about American citizens? The invasion of our country? The deep-state coups against our President? Where was this level of outrage regarding the above?
That’s what I thought...this is all coordinated and none of it’s good.
What is the evidence that the man has been killed? Is there any? Our media and Rinos talk as if it’s been proven. What happened to the word alleged? Or missing?
PING! A superior article. Real journalism. Greenfield explains the background of Khashoggi. Muslim Brotherhood. Friend of Osama Bin Laden.
The story the media has been telling follows a familiar scenario, but Greenfield shows how things may not be what they appear.
“The media, the deep-state, the dems, rinos and neverTrumpers are on the same outrage page on this incident.

Yes. A lot of propaganda immediately about this. I began seeing the hard left memes they send out on social media, e.g. “Trump doesn’t care about his Saudi backers killing journalists” before I’d even heard if the incident or seen any news stories about it.
Exactly. They try to sink Trunp in any way they can, because they can’t. All of them.
STAGED ATROCITIES are standard MO for the Muslim Brotherhood......(otherwise known as false flag operations)
At this point, is a quote from Hillary Clinton appropriate?
<>Who cares.....
“What is the evidence that the man has been killed? Is there any? Our media and Rinos talk as if it’s been proven.”
Yes. It’s bad enough that they express this level of concern about a muzzie foreign national but then they knee-jerk and run to the mic before any evidence is in...Ergo, this is premeditated coordinated attack on Trump. It’s painfully obvious to me.
One of the 15 that entered Turkey just died in a traffic accident.
