Well, well, well. Now we have intercepted messages between the Crown Prince and his staff before Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Apparently, instructions were given to lure the journalist to the consulate under a pretext of administrative necessity. The 18 aides were then dispatched to Turkey to carry out the orders from the palace of the Crown Prince. So, it seems, the various clumsy press releases that have been floated by the Crown Prince have no basis in fact. It's always been a test of the world's gullibility. No matter what story they told, each and every one was a laugher. They said things that a 5-year old would tell his mother.
"Are you kidding me?" has been the response, generally. The Turkish government has sources inside the consulate and they have provided enough information to discredit all the fabrications floated by the Saudis. The Crown prince is obviously living in a dream world of his own creation. His inexperience and his isolation from world events underscores the sad situation as it relates to events in the Middle East, and the Arabian Peninsula in particular. The U.S. Government is attempting to move the Saudis to end the war in Yemen that threatens to be a human catastrophe of immense proportions.
Perhaps the Court in the Hague will get involved. Perhaps charges will be filed against the Crown Prince. Now we have charges of murder against 5 Saudis who were present in Turkey at the Saudi Consulate when the journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, disappeared. Where is the body? Hmmmmmmm. Who knows where the body ended up after it was removed from the consulate and flown back to Riyadh to show the Crown that in fact the deed had been carried out according to orders. Maybe the Saudis think the world will be satisfied with 5 agents being tried and convicted of murder. I think not. No doubt, the Saudis will continue to feed tidbits of legal action that may trick media types into believing they have solved the "mystery". Ha, ha, ha, ha. What a pathetic country! What a pathetic government! What a pathetic culture! Oil-take it away and what do you have? A sad, 3rd world country stuck in the 17th Century, trying without success to make progress in a world leaving them behind at a record pace. Next thing you know they will start making deals with the Chinese.
Beijing(X.JP.) will come in and start building things. Next thing you know, the Chinese will own the oil wells, their goal(s) all along. Oh, well(ha).
Good luck King Salman: you had a choice, and you made the WRONG choice. Of all your direct descendants, you had to pick HIM? Really? There's still time: dump HIM now and save your country from 5 generations of contempt.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
