Jamal Khashoggi payed the price of recklessness. Loose lips sink ships, ultimately your own!

It is absurd the amount of attention given to this when the suspicious deaths of many more journalists goes unnoticed by MSM and Governments and the UN.
Any wonder MSM are going downhill rapidly. Posted by Philip S, Friday, 19 October 2018 5:09:48 PM

Never heard of the bloke before now. Binoy would do well with the ABC: they like stories that are of no interest to the average audience as well.

Donald Trump has promised the Saudis, there will be severe consequences.
Even so, Saudi Arabia is a sovereign nation and entitled to make, enact and act on its own laws, however reprehensible. So, how could President trump punish the Saudis? Simple and with a single masterstroke stroke of a pen, reverse the long-standing ban or prohibition on thorium R+D and deployment as a homegrown energy source! And absolutely have the Saudis doing a complete U-turn and complying with any reasonable request for a full and transparent investigation into this disappearance, which could have been stage by any number of entities hostile to the Saudi regime!? If they want to weaponise oil? We can show them in no uncertain terms, the only negative consequences will be all theirs and OPEC's! And imposed with even more (you're fired) force if done now today!

This story is of interest, ttbn.
It's just that Binoy consistently leaves all the good details out of his articles. Do you do this accidentally or on purpose Binoy? Do you read the comments or are legend in your own mind Binoy? How do you manage to write all this crap, and remain absent of any facts? How is it possible? Don't you investigate? - Or do you just regurgitate? That's not journalism, it's laziness and incompetence.

Everything else is speculation Or deliberately staged!
How many Journalists have disappeared in Russia, Turkey and elsewhere and what f them? Where is the outcry and the outrage there?
Are we now asked to be selective about these matters?
Or is race, gender, ethnicity involved in how high the level of outrage escalates.
The simple truth is, we have double standards. And selective outrage!
Yes, this new Saudi prince is a bastard, but he's our bastard? And what we once said about the Butcher of Bagdad, before we invaded and executed him. And as history has shown, very little was changed and now, even more, conflict and dictatorial control? And at the cost of thousands of completely wasted lives and treasure!
Time to get out of the middle east and out of any dependence on their oil! Be it Saudi or Iranian or Yemeni oil Or any fully imported oil from anywhere except a known ally with the same interests, agenda and concerns!
My very next vehicle is going to be an EV.
