Damn, this is actually true. I just visited Wikipedia, and I did not expect what I learned there. I thought Jamal Kashoggi was just some journalist. I never looked into him.
Turns out:
-He worked at the Saudi equivalent of the CIA
-He's the cousin of Dodi Al Fayed (the billionnaire who died in the car crash with Princess Diana)
-He's the nephew of billionnaire arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi, who sold Donald Trump a $200M yacht
-His grandfather was the personal doctor of the king of Saudi Arabia
-Considering the amount of noise the US made about him, I also expected him to be a US citizen. But no, he wasn't even a US citizen. I've never in my whole life seen the US govt care this much about a foreigner dying abroad, even if they work for a US company.
-George Soros' Open Society Foundation sued the Saudi government over his death
I know HN is the sort of place where you get flagged for voicing your suspicions without linking some establishment-approved source that gives its blessing on a particular narrative. So I'll just say this: it feels to me me that this is a very surprising background for a mere journalist.
The next conspiracy will be AI code that is delivering information that cant be debunked regardless how (un)true.
Thats the AI we fear.
no, I'm neither from US nor overly informed about politics there but I would have expected to have heard about it from Trump's allies when the two where butting heads
And dont get me started on the group that GHWB ran in vietnam... whats that guys name from the massacre? oh yeah, the head of DHS after it was created.
What?
Conspiracy theories work specifically for seeing the trend over time.
For example, I have no memory for what I ate yesterday, but I can recall news stories from as far back as the 80s which corroborate malfeasance decades later.
Did you know that John McCain was a filthy grifting criminal who was involved in the savings and loan scandal, was a complete coverer for the Iran Contra debacle, and the CIAs BCCI money laundering scheme for their importing of drugs through Mena Arkansas, which was shielded by Bill Clinton, and for being a CIA minion was awarded the next POTUS position...
Look into BCCI and a name you might be familiar with, Khoshoggi not the dismembered journalist by MBS, but his relative who was the arms dealer that sold his yacht to... donald trump. Who bragged about the purchase on nightly entertainment TV.

The CIA runs the USA, and the drug trafficking and child trafficking industry, and Israel runs the CIA... Guess who was handling Epstein ;; Maxwell (AKA mossad)
