Hello "82" if you happen to be reading this. This, of course, is like an open letter, for anyone with access to peruse, or "CC: Pennock's forum."

I did some browsing with the Gibiru search engine. I used the "uncensored" feature to reveal some online links that are not provided in the basic or "censored" list from Gibiru. I looked at two of the "censored" articles, one from Consortium News and the other from MoA or Moon of Alabama.

To make a long story short, I found nothing to make me think that Jamal Khashoggi somehow deserved the grisly fate that was meted to him at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

That was most decidedly not "karma."

I found nothing to make me think that Jamal Khashoggi was undeserving in any way of the status that allowed him to have a residence and live in the U.S. and write opinion columns for the Washington Post, or undeserving of the American citizenship that he was reportedly on the cusp of pursuing through the same process that is open to other non-U.S. citizens with U.S. resident status.

During Khashoggi's journey through life, he worked for the Saudi regime and could well be characterized as having been an apologist and sometimes an enthusiast for some of the Saudi monarchy's and the Saudi religious establishment's worse (if not absolutely worst) ideas and deeds.

But this is where Jamal Khashoggi had arrived in life, before his untimely end.

I am aware of the fact that before Joe Biden became President Biden he "torched" the Trump administration over the official U.S. reaction to Khashoggi's murder during the 2020 presidential campaign. Biden called out Saudi Arabia as a "pariah" nation with "no redeeming social value" and promised or perhaps even vowed to go beyond what the Trump administration had done and reconfigure the U.S.-Saudi relationship (by implication or inference) to something closer to the U.S.-Iran relationship and more appropriate for a "pariah" or "rogue" nation instead of a valued U.S. partner nation or ally.

An unfulfilled promise? Campaign "puffery" that in no way reflected Biden's true intentions?

Could be.

I think this fairly brief report in the New York Times from February 26 provides a good description of how President Biden has enlarged upon the sanctions that were imposed by the Trump administration and how the Biden administration has rearranged the furniture and changed the lighting in the new "Recalibrate but not Rupture" lounge area of the State Department that is now reserved for the U.S.-Saudi relationship.

I recommend that anyone with an interest in this topic listen to the voice of former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, which I have conveniently queued up with this page link to activate YouTube. You wouldn't have to view this on-air segment for more than just 30 seconds or perhaps a minute to register that McFaul already likes what the Biden administration has done--although he goes on to express his desire that the Biden administration do even more to sanction Saudi Arabia and MBS himself for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Pretty certain that's the look of mental illness from inbreeding.

At least, that's the impression of this observer.



Hahaha!

Yeah, that's the MBS that I'm used to seeing.

The "I just had another Saudi dissident silenced and I'm not going to be sanctioned by the U.S. in any seriously inconvenient kind of way" look.

Maybe they could put that in a new version of the Botox ad that's been running on cable TV. Botox injections for countering the appearance of facial wrinkles, nose lines and crow's feet.

"So give that 'I just saw a puppy' look. That 'I silenced another dissident' look. And whatever that look is."


Somebody here must be familiar with that particular TV commercial. It's been on for a long time already and they're still running it a lot.

THIS TV COMMERCIAL

"MBS" slots right in. Just scroll backwards over the previous message in this thread to MY previous message in this thread--2 messages before this one. Or if that's too much "math", the message before the message before this one.

For anyone who may be interested in the original (thread) topic, as there were some on-topic messages from a few different members earlier on, this link automatically scrolls backwards to the last significantly on-topic message in this thread.
