Who cares about Khashoggi? No one knows who he was and no one cares.

There is only one reason their is so much western phony angst over the death of Jamal Khashoggi, and so much hypocrisy as well.

The first bit of fakery comes from the mantle of “journalist” Khashoggi took. It was a giant half truth in all of the last years of his life. What he was really doing, in his pretense of “writing reports as a ‘journalist’ “ was operating as a mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood and making Muslim Brotherhood inspired attacks on the rulers of Saudi Arabia.

The west continually places, on their own say so, “white hats” on various Middle East personalities, if that person just attacks some other Middle East personality the western press does not like. Ninety nine percent of the time neither party deserves a “white hat” and in terms of western values neither party is “like us”.

To the Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood is not just a competing Islamic fundamentalist voice, it is an existential threat to the Saudis and their brand of Islam. To them, they knew the purpose of Khashoggi’s journalism was its Muslim Brotherhood attacks on them, which made Khashoggi part of the exsistential threat to the Saudis.

So, unlike the western media, I knew what Khashoggi was really doing, and I understood why the Saudis saw him as a threat, and that it was not because he was a “journalist”.

So, to the western media western officials were not supposed to demonstrate friendly greetings and meetings with the Saudi rulers, yet for years before Putin’s war on Ukraine how many opponents did Putin knock off or try to knock off, all the while western leaders were meeting with him all the time. Much of the western media angst about Khashoggi is rank ignorance and rank hypocrisy.

Media all about themselves. Asking questions they care about. Normal folks want economic answers, do not even know who that reporter was.
