A reminder: #Assassination of #JamalKhashoggi

On 2 October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a #Saudi #dissident #journalist, was #killed by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

Khashoggi was #ambushed & #strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi operatives.

His body was dismembered & disposed of in some way that was never publicly revealed.

“Some people close to Trump’s White House have been taken aback by the scale of security that has surrounded Musk since he became a regular presence in Trump’s orbit last year. The detail rivaled only that of the president himself, the sources observed.”

No surprise the #GCC ( #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Oman, #Qatar, #Bahrain & #Kuwait) + #China and #Russia (GCC henchman #Putin & #Xi), are overdoing mercenaries to protect their largest investment, their top #Saudi henchman.
