The biggest lie of all is this; That the murdering muzlum-brotherhood terrorist was an "American 'journalist' ".

Exactly! Repeated later on by Hungry Howie and I'm really pissed about the interview Maria did with a Saudi kingdom guy-- Prince al-Waleed who had been house arrested by MBS.

Here is Prince al-Waleed's comment to Maria's first gotcha question:

.................................

It's a pleasure, not only to be with you again, Maria.

Now, yesterday is the anniversary of my detention one year ago. But I think this incident is behind us. And I believe that incident was important history for Saudi Arabia, because many of those detainees deserved to be there, because Saudi Arabia did have a lot of corruption.

And thank God that, after this incident, many of those that were detained had a big cleaning process.

Now, as for me, I did say that there was a misunderstanding in the Reuters interview. In the Bloomberg interview, I said there was an understanding after. And I'm out now, no (INAUDIBLE) at all -- no problems at all.

And I said what happened was forgiven and forgotten. So that's behind us. And we are on excellent terms with the crown prince, with the king and Saudi Arabia.

Now, as for Crown Prince Mohammed, yes, I assure you he is for real. And all that he is doing is changing Saudi Arabia in a very revolutionary manner, socially, economically, financially, and even on the (INAUDIBLE) front.

So, Saudi Arabia right now is witnessing huge development and changes. And, as you know, I'm a member of the royal family, happily so. I do not represent the government, so I will be speaking to you very freely and openly and independently, as usual.

It was the worst interview I have ever seen her do but I just want to forget it since I like Maria so much.

Seems no one does even basic research which many of us do here.

It seems to be beyond the capabilities of the drivebys or even some journalists that we know who can be fair and balanced when necessary.

If you have done any research at all you know that Jamal had a 20 year history with the Saudi prince Turki and intel was his thing. He was very well versed in the world of intel.

...............................

In part because, in between his Al-Watan stints, he was an adviser to the Saudi ambassador to London, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, a former long-serving intelligence chief. Then, in 2005, when the prince was appointed the Saudi envoy to the U.S., Khashoggi joined him as a media aide. Most recently Khashoggi worked as a columnist and commentator before leaving the kingdom for exile in the U.S. in June 2017.

..............................

Who knows what really happened to al-Waleed,is he very careful of what he says?Is he threatened?Who knows.

Rumors are that MBS is dealing with all these types and wants repayment of money owed the Saudi govt.There is nothing in the interview to suggest this is not the case.

Maria was very unfair the way she goaded him.

Meanwhile years ago Prince Turki was a super heavy weight back in the day and Khashoggi was the intel guy using his journalism credentials as cover.

Chances are good when Jamal came to the US to be a "journalist" the CIA was all over him and he either mockingbirded for them or was well known by them. No doubt was he ever ignored by the company.

He had to be making tons of money taking over the smuggling route from uncle Adnan so when MBS started demanding the heavy hitters pay their fair share Jamal Khashoggi had to be one of the ones he was hitting up for dough.this alone pissed jamal off. He was likely on the list of taking MBS out simply because of the money he was having to pay out.

Rumors were that he had approached a bunch of those security people and others real close to MBS to meet him in Turkey so they could plan a takeover of what the Prince was doing or even take him out.

Obviously the plan failed and one thing led to another and he as was taken out.

In the US something like this seldom happens. In Saudi Arabia it happens less but can still happen.

Turkey claims to have tapes but no one has ever seen them which is a sign they don't have jack.US outrage of supposedly having one of our journalists taken out by the bad Saudis could not be further from the truth. <>Truth is this was an internal Saudi Kingdom op gone very bad and it is absolutely none of our business. Khashoggi was anything but a journalist. He was an MB terrorist who had been friends with OBL. He had inherited his uncle Adnan's smuggling route which included drugs,guns and humans and he was well versed in Saudi intel and had to have had a relationship with the CIA.

So the drivebys who are making like he was something else are following another agenda.

An agenda that says: 'any way at all we can take out Trump lets do it.'IF they can ruin his relationship with MBS they would do it in a heartbeat even if it screws up relations in the mideast including taking out Iran.

That's what this is all about.Getting to Trump any way they can.

Anyway the plan was always to take out MBS never to kill jamal. It just worked out that way.

Meanwhile, we have journalists on both sides of the aisle running their mouths with no knowledge at all of what happened and they endanger US Saudi relations,a stupid move.

Hopefully Trump sees through all this.
