| [NYPOST] ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... said Tuesday it will search the Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... n Consulate in Instanbul for Jamal Khashoggi as a newspaper published an image of the journalist walking into the facility just hours before he vanished. Khashoggi is seen in a surveillance photo published by the Washington Post entering the consulate, where A front man for Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said Saudi officials have relayed to Ankara that they were "open to cooperation" and would allow the consulate to be searched. But the ministry did not provide a timeline for when that might happen. The surveillance image, which the newspaper said it received from a "person close to the investigation," includes an Oct. 2 time stamp of Khashoggi, 59, walking to the consulate’s main entrance. Saudi officials have called claims that Khashoggi was killed in the consulate "baseless" but have yet to release any evidence that the writer left the building, despite repeated requests from Turkey has not issued any proof to back up its claims. |

| #5 Saudi officials have relayed to Ankara that they were "open to cooperation" and would allow the consulate to be searched. 1. Clearly the guy is no longer there. 2. SA will be surrendering the sovereignty of their embassy to the Turks. |

| #3 It shouldn't be too hard to coordinate CCTV footage, shouldn't it? That video date is under the control of rival state actors who can be assumed to prioritize their political agenda over the search for the truth. They might, at some point, release rival video sequences pretending to show the same place at the same time showing mutually contradictory content. All that would prove is that at least one party is lying. Unless the forger(s) made glaring technical mistakes it would be impossible to ascertain which if any is genuine. |

| #1 Plausible hypothesis 1: The Saudis brutally slaughtered a prominent dissident in a cleverly ostentatious and plausibly deniable way in order to deter any uppity subjects. Plausible hypothesis 2: The Turks disappeared a prominent Saudi dissident to create the impression that hypothesis 1 was true. They did this at the behest of the Iran-Qatar-Muslim Brotherhood-Russia alliance in order to weaken the Saudi backed side in Yemen specifically and to drive a wedge between the West and the Saudis. Which hypothesis is more likely to be true? |
