Trump says 'rogue killers' may be behind Khashoggi disappearance |
2018-10-16 |
[Al Ahram] U.S. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... said on Monday "rogue killers" may have been behind the disappearance of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians.... ordered an internal investigation into the case. Trump said he had spoken with King Salman about Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi policies, and that he was sending Secretary of State Mike Pompeo immediately to meet the king and travel to other places as needed. Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist, vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul two weeks ago to get marriage documents. Saudi Arabia has strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! killing Khashoggi and denounced such assertions as "lies", saying he left the building shortly after entering. "The king firmly denied any knowledge of it," Trump told news hounds. "He didn't really know, maybe - I don't want to get into his mind but it sounded to me - maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?" |

#14 There was also mention that it hooked up to the wireless network at the consulate which might help the range. |

#13 It doesn't have to stay paired to the phone. It just needs a connection to a cellular network. The phone is used to retrieve the audio on his account afterwards. |

#12 There is no way that an Apple Watch stayed paired with his iPhone while he was in the Consulate. That connection is only good for about 30 feet or so. |

#11 Just when you thought that Lindsey Graham was starting to make sense... Well, some of the senators have to put on a show to make the whole charade seem legit. Maybe it was his turn in the barrel. Again. |

#8 Jamal reportedly left his iPhone with his fiance but was wearing an Apple watch with recorded it all to the Cloud. The German news reported other details that should be investigated--a WAPO journalist with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood is not an innocent victim: Germany's leading right-of-center daily Die Welt this morning reveals that Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist, but a high-level operative for the Saudi intelligence service, an intimate of Osama bin Laden, and the nephew of the shadiest of all Arab arms dealers, the infamous Adnan Khashoggi. John Bradley reported last week in the Spectator that Khashoggi, who allegedly met a grisly end in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization that among other things wants to replace the Saudi monarchy with a modern Islamist totalitarian state. So much for the whining in the Establishment media about freedom of the press and protection of the rights of journalists. The presumed-dead Khashoggi was a top-level spook who swore fealty to some of the Arab world's nastiest elements, and who played a high-stakes game in Saudi spookdom. |

#2 Ridiculous. Sounds like Trump recently found out about Khashaggy's real role in the world. |
