Benjamin Franklin once wrote: “He that lies down with dogs, shall wake up with fleas.”
A friend texted me today: “Why did they kill that journalist in Saudi Arabia [consulate]?” A simple question with a complex answer. The specific on-the-spot-in-the-consulate-when-it-happened “why” may never be known. The mainstream media answers the broader “why” by simply reporting that Jamal Khashoggi was a Washington Post reporter who ran afoul of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Done, end of story; now how do we affix the blame to President Donald Trump?
As with all things “counter-jihad” (this is The Geller Report after all!), the full answer requires recognizing that there are many layers and multiple players (we’ll not get into Saudi Arabia versus Turkey here)… At the very least, as of this writing it appears that the killing of Khashoggi was a kidnapping/rendition attempt gone awry or, quite possibly, the premeditated assassination of an “American” journalist critical of the Saudi regime.
However, our friend Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch counters that mainstream media narrative here:
The Washington Post is indignant that “hard-line Republicans and conservative commentators are mounting a whispering campaign against Jamal Khashoggi,” supposedly in order to “protect President Trump from criticism of his handling of the dissident journalist’s alleged murder by operatives of Saudi Arabia.”
The Post hits these “hardliners” for highlighting Khashoggi’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and claims that “while Khashoggi was once sympathetic to Islamist movements, he moved toward a more liberal, secular point of view.”
In reality, Khashoggi was the real hardliner, supporting jihad violence and Sharia right up to the time of his murder — even in his recent Post columns. This raises questions about why the paper hired him as a columnist in the first place.
In short, Khashoggi is dead because he used his platform at the Washington Post to criticize the Saudi regime from a Muslim Brotherhood mindset. How’s that for “why”?
“He that lies down with Muslim dogs, may wake up dead.”

Aww another Muslim dead. Let’s have a moment of silenceOK that’s enough…
How about we just IGNORE him?
😉
No, he was just another POS Mudslime, good riddance.
He that persists in lying down with dogs, shall end up sleeping with the fishes.
Kahshoggi was a al-qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood member . And the Leftists/Pro-jihadi media support him !
Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around.
CNN and MSM canonises Mc Cain while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk
Its absurd and farcical how MSM Lies and brainwashes American citizens
One less Muslim in this world always makes me smile!
Absolutely agree. No one should ever intervene if Muslims are fighting each other, on the contrary, one should throw them knifes and other weapons.
Agreed. To the Saudis’ credit, at least they did not insult our intelligence by offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of those responsible.
Good research!
Yeah, he’s a real nice guy….LOL!
Amazing! Puts it all in perspective.
what is he holding? er, um looks like allah’s dildo?
Fundie muzzrats killing each other is a great thing, we should used divide and conquer strategy on these vermin.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia are but two sides of the same coin…they deserve each other.
Brennan Knew Osama bin Laden Was Lived In Iran After 9/11 – Brennan Covered it Up
https://truepundit.com/top-secret-white-house-documents-show-saudi-crown-prince-told-brennan-that-osama-bin-laden-was-living-in-iran-but-u-s-covered-up-intel/
– Brennan is Muslim Brotherhood [MB]
– MB is closely allied with Iranian Mullahs
Guess, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. The thing is, why does Saudia have to come up with a lame story that he ‘got into a fist fight.’ Come on. Really. So….how did he allegedly end up in pieces. Was that for dessert?
Where is the evidence for it?
I think they wanted to make this really sound nasty.
No evidence. Maybe he’s operating a casino with Osama Bin Laden in Dubai, or something.
Or, the religion of Rest-In-Peace (in Khashoggi’s case, not!).
Fleas are the muslims…
Don’t you mean moslems are the fleas?
Best muslime is a dead muslime.
I notice Queenie Liz, the Brit, is always licking arab anus.
Now there are no nazi’s to kiss up to, her family is going for the next best thing.
He also had ties to OBL. He was a permanent resident of the U.S. but NOT A U.S. CITIZEN!
I could care less about what they did to him. The LEFT is stirring this up for political reasons.
Notice how the Russian collusion crap is dying down… so they need a new story to keep the paranoia and hatred going. The Washington Post is PRO ISLAM!
Ratcliffe Discusses Sketchy Turkish Story Surrounding Jamal Khashoggi Disappearance…
Posted on October 14, 2018
by sundance
Everything surrounding the “disappearance”, perhaps “murder”, of Saudi critic/journalist Jamal Khashoggi screams manufactured geopolitical propaganda. All current narrative indications are pushing in one direction. Here are the warning flags:
♦Flag #1 – Jamal Khashoggi in self-exile, worked for The Washington Post, and was hiding behind ‘residency’ in the U.S. WaPo is a notorious left-wing intelligence propaganda outlet for the most politicized elements within the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
♦Flag #2 – Turkey (Recep Erdogan) pushing the narrative. Erdogan is a notorious liar when it comes to his interests, and a master manipulator. Turkey/Erdogan is the most openly staunch supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and has a self-interest in distracting/deflecting U.S. economic pressure from their ongoing relationship with Iran.
♦Flag #3 – Saudi Arabia [Mohamed Bin Salman (MbS)] has been instituting political and cultural reforms that are antithetical to the advanced objectives of the Muslim Brotherhood, Recep Erdogan (wants new Ottoman Empire), and extreme Islam.
♦Flag #4 – The voices behind the U.S. push to promote the Jamal Khashoggi story are all aligned in one purposeful and ideological direction. Former Obama officials including: John Brennan, Samantha Power, Valerie Jarrett et al, are all pushing the story in a transparent effort to create division between the U.S. and KSA and by extension benefit their Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian allies.
♦Flag #5 – The left-wing, highly political, intelligence apparatus – and all DC interests are joined by the notorious right-wing members of the UniParty war machine. [Rubio, Sasse, Flake, Schumer, Menendez, et al] Together with the exact same left-wing media voices (right and left), and all the political ‘think-tanks’, who advance the DC drumbeat. Yes, the gang is all back together again in their high-brow pontification of ‘muh values‘.
♦Flag #6 – The story is being pushed into U.S. media outlets by a notorious Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece, Khaled Saffuri:
[I]n the past 24 hours we now have a glimpse of exactly who is feeding the establishment media reporting on the Khashoggi matter — including at least one source who was tied to a joint Libyan intelligence and al-Qaeda plot to assassinate the Saudi crown prince.
Khaled Saffuri is the protege of al-Qaeda fundraiser Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is currently serving a 17-year sentence in federal prison for his role as bagman for the Libyan/Al-Qaeda assassination plot. (read more)

If Khashoggi was in charge can you imagine what he would have done with the House of Saud? He that lies down with dead dogs – must be dead himself. Let’s bury this whole matter.
The guy was no Saint.
Why was a Saudi National Killed on Saudi soil? That is what happened. To answer this you must look to Mohammad and see what he did to his critics. Anyone who was a Member of his cult that criticized Mohammad was Beheaded and Dismembered because he had performed the Shirk! This act is forbidden under Mohammedan Law. Anyone doing so would be killed immediately. So fast forward to today. This so called Journalist was very critical of the Crown Prince and the King who occupy the same place as Mohammad. So it was commanded to believing Cult members that the critic ie the Journalist must be killed the same way Mohammad killed his critics. Thus the members of the Crown Prince’s security force accomplished the act. What bothers me is the Outrage of Progressives. I seems not to bother them when Members of this Cult Rape women and Children. They say you must accept it because it is their culture. I say they must accept this action too because it is also part of this Barbaric Culture.
My question still is this: Why did Kahshoggi go into the Saudi Consulate in the first place? The videos indicate that he went tn voluntarily. What was the purpose of the visit? After all, he knew that tensions were high, between himself and his country’s leaders.
Why is there more of an outcry in this case than there was against cartels in Mexico, or even ISIS when Daniel Pearl’s head was severed on video. It seems that going after Trump is the real reason for so much outrage by the media.
What’s new?
Yes, yes, yes, was and always would be Islamist follower and agenda pusher.
All of the MSM saying he was a good guy, was on our side, ALL NONSENSE, PERIOD.
Why all the MSM fuss over a Saudi citizen, who was killed and chopped up by Saudis .. that’s what they do .. they kill and chop; that’s an everyday affair for them. Oh, I guess they’re trying to make Trump look bad .. Okay, I understand.
Usually, as in this case too, they chop then they kill.
You’re absolutely right .. they want to inflict as much pain as possible before the kill.
First remark that astounded me was that he was an American “Journalist.” He was neither. He was a Saudi, who had idealistic clashes with the Saudi leadership. He had his work credentials from an American newspaper, but he was not a journalist. That is a cover, a la Anderson Cooper. He was a hardline Islamist, pro Hamas, and very anti-Israel.
So, this mans life never interacted with mine, on any level, until I hear the comparison as a journalist. I would give that title to Daniel Pearl, who was a legitimate writer who died from Islamic hatred, so when they kill their own, I don’t care.
This happened in Turkey. Not our closest friend in the Middle East. The person killed was a Saudi, in the Saudi embassy. It looks like an internal problem, and should exclude a reaction from the US. It is not something we should be concerned with. Why was there not this much reaction to legitimate American reporters being killed?
