By not notifying Jamal Khashoggi, Trump aided and abetted

Last edited Mon Oct 15, 2018, 07:10 AM - Edit history (1)

Saudi Arabia in assassinating not only a journalist, but one who worked for the Washington Post. It's Trump's warning to all journalists, but particularly to American journalists.

Cheeto and Prince Douchebag essentially handed him over - an U.S. permanent resident and journalist.

In the roundup and the torture and killing of the prince's opposition right after jared and his unannounced trip there to meet with him ? Could this be considered terrorism? They maybe should consider using terrorism laws to bring them down with.

and ask why the journalist was not warned. Did Trump and or Kushner tell them to look the other way, if so, they are accomplices to a murder.

Fat chance our corporate media will follow up on this, it is more important to figure out how much American Indian DNA is in Liz Warren.

trump and Kushner's role in this needs to be put front and center to the public so the media can no longer ignore it.

I may be wrong, but I think over TWO HUNDRED journalists were killed in the m.e. covering the Iraq invasion, amongst other m.e. adventures? Amazing, if true, that something this weighty has fallen down the memory hole.

And the treachery of Jared to share TOP SECRET PDB info with the Saudi's was trading lives for money to keep his 666 property from bankruptcy. Utterly craven and despicable and MURDER, to put it simply.

where a journalist told Trump that Putin has killed 200 journalists, and his reply was to the effect that he didn't believe it, he wanted names.

... and the money for that rent came from the middle east (Qatar). Nothing
funny there. I am willing to bet that if you follow the money back far enough
you will find Saudi Money.

Saudi money and power is way deep into America in places such as Silicon Valley,
Fox News, the White House, the GOP, and how much American debt they own.

And not cross his business partners? But it's also probably a blanket warning to journalists in general that they are expendable commodities.

If the whole story about the recording of the whole murder and its aftermath by his Apple watch is true, and it wasn't just recorded by the Turkish government who bugged the consulate, then this constitutes one of the most selflessly brave and heroic acts in the whole history of journalism to date - of getting the story at all costs - even the highest cost.

was put out by Turkish state media, not a reliable source.

How did they know he was wearing an Apple watch?
