Alas, poor Khashoggi, I knew him ...

CommonDreams: Is CIA Leak of Bin Salman’s Guilt in Khashoggi Murder Aimed at Kushner, or Trump Himself? The agency may be attempting to discredit Kushner and to detach Trump from his alliance with the crown prince.


Alas, poor Khashoggi, I knew him ...

This same skull, sir, was, sir, Khashoggi's skull, the King's jester.*

But alack, that is fiction, for the whereabouts of the proof of his demise - the skull - are unbeknownst. No corpus is so far delicti'd.

Moreover, now that yet another wife has surfaced, mourning the monetary recompense she hath not yet received, an even larger grain of salt needs be taken with the media mania surrounding the demise of everybody's good and wise friend, Jamal Khashoggi.

TheDailyBeast: The Real Reasons Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Wanted Khashoggi ‘Dead or Alive’

• His death is key to understanding the political forces that helped turn the Middle East from a region of hope seven years ago to one of brutal repression and slaughter today.
• For more than 20 years I phoned him or met with him, even smoked the occasional water pipe with him, as I looked for a better understanding of his country, its people, its leaders, and the Middle East. We often disagreed, but he almost always gave me fresh insights into the major figures of the region, starting with Osama bin Laden in the 1990s, and the political trends, especially the explosion of hope that was called the Arab Spring in 2011. He would be just the man to talk to about the Saudis and the Muslim Brotherhood, because he knew both sides of that bitter relationship so well.
• And then, of course, I realized that Jamal is dead, murdered precisely because he knew too much.

And when you see all the Abdulaziz's in the royal family, you have to wonder why this guy Omar is still hanging around Quebec instead of caring enough about his family to go home and spring them from the hoosegow he says they're in because of his professed kinship and conspiratorial activities with Khashoggi.  Is it his job to help convince us that Khashoggi was a good and honest man killed by the Saudis?

Confusing? You betteth. And deliberately so, I'll wager.

Yea, even for months the media have toyed with our passions, wildly suggesting at one point that the Crown Prince of Saudia Arabia might himself be dead.

Now it's Khashoggi, albeit a pop-up on his own website does not say he's dead, but merely "missing". 

Just as MBS was, for a time now past.

And if all this were not enough to chew upon, his Wiki tale (which has him firmly dead) makes Khashoggi a first cousin to Dodi Fayed of Princess Diana notoriety and ultimate tragedy!  But nobody thinks the Saudis did that. (The Windsors are strongly hinted: An unemotional Queen, immediately upon hearing of Diana's death, established her personal innocence by reportedly blurting: "Someone must have greased the brakes".)

​Wow, I just remembered. Queen Elizabeth was an auto mechanic during WWII. She would know how to do the deed, allright.  I'm just saying ...

One truly has to wonder why it's so important to mess with the public mind this way.  Take the above (undated, naturally) photo, for instance: it looketh exceedingly shopped.

But why? Why was it important to juxtapose the likenesses of Jared and Ivanka with one of MBS? Think about it: She's one inch short of 6 feet tall (not including the stilts she wears on her feet) and weighs 141 lbs.

Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud is 6', 154 lb. and clearly possesses the world's largest head. The extra 13 lbs of weight appears to be all up top. Try carrying that on a platter!

Jared, incidentally, is 6'3".  (IMDB) Not incidentally, his father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, served 14 months of a 2-year sentence in Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery, for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.

Why did I have to go to a movie site to find that out?

Just looking at the perfect faces of Jared and Ivanka, it's clear that faces (and body parts) can be surgically altered.  Which means that one can even fake one's death, and go on to live a second life as a completely different person.

* Hamlet messed with.
