Oh contraire noted sage!
My fishing is a necessary deed long overdue,especially when we caught 50 Spanish mackerel and a bunch of other scallywags!! herer is a good looking Spanish mackerel caught by a good looking well see for yourself! ................... I did learn some first hand info that needs to be put forth since i had part of it technically wrong. I have a source that knew Adnan Khashoggi well enough to fly in his planes on special occasions.
Seems Adnan was not the bad guy i assumed he must be at least in the 70's and 80's. Instead he was an ace businessman brokering arms deals at a level that will problaby never be seen again. At one time he had acquired a mega-yacht almost 300 feet long where he would have as many as 15 deals going at once with commission rates approaching 15%.Mega bucks when you consider the deal could range up to 100 million per deal. It was a good thing as well since with his homes planes boats etc. his overhead approached $250,000 per day.a lofty figure to neutralize with revenue. One had to wonder if such a high profile arms dealer had not attracted the attention of the cia,if not it would have been a rare occurrence, likely he had some connect no telling what it was. Especially when you have a gaming problem as he had. Seems it finally got the best of him and his lavish life style which afforded him a claim of being one of the richest billionaires of the time who finally collapses as he self-destructed.
So as my source said he didn't have to smuggle. He made too much as it was and it would have ruined his reputation.
As for Jamal we know the story all too well.He was MB rabid to the death, likely a mocking bird for the cia, heavy into saudi intel for decades, used journalism as a cover,hated MBS and wanted him toppled.
One of the dumbest things Jamal did was to write stupid stuff about the kingdom over and over provoking those who don't allow such stuff in their kingdom,he had been asking for trouble for years and finally he got it.
Nice catch!
