Jamal Khashoggi: Missing

       We know he walked into the Saudi Consulate:  the photo is available and has been published worldwide.  The exit photo does not show anything: no photo-no exit.  The renowned and respected journalist has been disappeared, as they say.  This seems like a Chinese method.  No, wait, it's a tried and true Russyan tactic used against critics of the Kremlin- no poison, no Russyan. .  Yes, true, but wait-Assad of Syria uses this method.  No, wait, this is Recep Erdogan's Turkish tactic.  But this happened at a foreign consulate IN Turkey.  Erdogan wouldn't take the chance.  Hugo Chavez is dead.  Raul Castro, still in bed, asleep.  Maybe the Egyptian Secret police?  No, wait, the Taliban.  No, too busy elsewhere.
So, let's look again.
      M.B.S. or the King of Saudi Arabia is touchy about criticism.  This journalist was not flying under the "radar": he lit up on every Saudi radar screen.  So, jet loads of agents are dispatched to Turkey.  The passengers offload in Ankara and are met at the airport by black limos and whisked away to: The Saudi Consulate.  Then Mr. Khashoggi appears at the entrance and his wife bids him adieu as he is seen to enter, alone.  Then, the world awaits his exit.
      Then the Turkish government makes the claim that said Mr. Khashoggi has been brutally tortured, then murdered, then dismembered and his parts exit the consulate and return to Riyadh via private jets owned by the Saudi government.  Seems to be the exit part of the plot but the Turkish government has not given the waiting world the evidence to confirm this scenario.  Various organizations have accepted this scenario and have acted with their feet:  they have abandoned the large meeting in Dubai that was to showcase the Saudi government and cement its position in the Middle East as the de facto leader.  Now, however, the true Saudi hand in this part of the world has been revealed.  This vile dictatorship is no better than Iran, Syria, Russya, Iraq, Libya, and the other
regimes that continue to insult all of mankind.  How is it these thugs are allowed to abuse their power?   Good people doing nothing allows this outrage to continue.   The day will come when it's time to put an end to these practitioners of hate.   That day is nigh.
       Journalists continue to be put under extreme pressure, whether in Latin America(Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia) ,  or Egypt, Turkey)).   Their job is essential for peace and freedom.  We will protect them wherever they are, wherever they live, wherever they work.  China will be watched most closely, too.
