A long awaited report about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post journalist who was butchered in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, places the blame for the murder squarely on the ruling crown prince. If it were any other country, this would be an act of war.

Can anyone explain to me why “progressives” must be so outraged by the fate of Khashoggi but say not a word about Assange?
Any examples of Khashoggi ‘s presumed “exemplary” work for the CIA front, neo-con riddled Washington Post?
I love the Norad security question.
That Saudi Arabia murdered a journalist sure sounds shocking. But lots of people get murdered by governments. The American Indian genocide, the Jewish holocaust, the current extirpation of various groups that barely gets reported in the newspapers. That’s all government in action. I’m sure the U.S. has done its share of wetwork of comparable violence, all paid for by the general public. But this time, golly, someone with a lot of U.S. journalists for friends was on the wrong end of realpolitik. And in a year, all those pretend-outraged at the New York Times and the Washington Post will be typing vapid nonsense about avocado toast and heart hands and so forth. Just like every year there’s one column about the homeless around Thanksgiving and one around Christmas.
St Joe said he will NOT talk to MbS, only to his father, S (who is probably senile). As opposed to St Joe’s predecessor who did a sword dance with MbS (but that was before MbS ordered the murder of a Washington Post journalist). St Joe even took the Houthis off the official US list of terrorists, even though the US had agreed to put them on the list at the behest of MbS.
Ukrainian Holocaust called Holodomor ran by Jewish communists that murdered tens of millions of Christians?
Killing fields. Mao. WW 2. WW 1. Civil war. All planned and started to murder Christians. The Communists are in charge and with China’s help will finish the job.
Then who is next.
LMAO! Of course there are so many examples of disparity. When will Biden’s batteries wear out?
