JAMAL KHASHOGGI

~I SIMPLY HAVE NO WORDS~

This incident seems to have shaken the foundation of the world. It has also shaken the hearts of many.

Except for Saudi Arabia and the illegitimate leader of America.

So noted!

He was a prominent journalist who has covered major stories, including the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the rise of Osama Bin Laden, for various Saudi news organizations.

For decades, Mr. Khashoggi had been close to the Saudi royal family and he also served as an adviser to the government.

But he fell out of favor and went into self-imposed exile in the US last year. From there, he has written a monthly column in the Washington Post in which he has criticized the policies of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

In his first column for the newspaper, Mr Khashoggi said that he feared being arrested in an apparent crackdown on dissent overseen by the prince since he became first in line to succeed his father King Salman earlier that year.

“The people being arrested are not even being dissidents, they just have an independent mind,” he told the BBC’s Newshour program just three days before he disappeared.

He first visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 28 September to obtain a document certifying that he had divorced his ex-wife, so that he could marry his Turkish fiancée.

But he was told he would have to return and arranged to come back on the 2 October.

“He did not mind walking into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul because he did not believe that something bad could happen on Turkish soil,”

his fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, wrote in the Washington Post.

“Jamal was hardly concerned ahead of his second visit.”

DRUMPF AND THE SAUDI CONNECTION 

~’Rogue Killers’ May Have Murdered Saudi Journalist, Drumpf Suggests~

Drumpf has become the mouthpiece of the Saudis

Drumpf admires “leaders” who kill their critics – especially if they’re killers who do deals that enrich Drumpf.

His criminal syndicate spans the globe.

Drumpf’s business ties to Saudi Arabia run long, deep

He’s booked hotel rooms and meeting spaces to them, sold an entire floor in one of his buildings to them and, in desperate moments in his career, has gotten a billionaire from the country to buy his yacht and New York’s Plaza Hotel overlooking Central Park.

Drumpf’s ties to Saudi Arabia run long and deep, and he’s often boasted about his business ties with the kingdom.

“I love the Saudis,” Drumpf said when announcing his presidential run at Drumpf Tower in 2015.

“Many are in this building.”

The mysterious disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi, raises important questions, not only about the nature of the Saudi regime, but also about the Drumpf administration’s uncritical embrace of its 33-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a close alliance that was engineered by Drumpf’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was awarded the Middle East portfolio during the presidential transition.

~DRUMPF TWEET~

Just spoke to the King of Saudi Arabia who denies any knowledge of whatever may have happened “to our Saudi Arabian citizen.”

He said that they are working closely with Turkey to find answer.

I am immediately sending our Secretary of State to meet with King!

The Saudi government has repeatedly denied any involvement in the journalist’s disappearance, and in a statement Sunday, October 14, warned that “if it receives any action, it will respond with greater action.”

Khashoggi, who recently has been living in Virginia and writing columns for The Washington Post, hasn’t been seen since Oct. 2, when he entered the Saudi consulate to handle paperwork for his upcoming marriage.

“Sunder” is finally free …. one year ago today!!

~~June 7, 2015~~ 

BANGALORE

Sunder, a temple elephant in Maharashtra might have been tortured for his entire life but a recording of his abuse has helped to free him.

This elephant has survived abuse that no animal should. He was chained and beaten and it would have continued if not for the launch of a massive campaign backed by international celebrities like Paul McCartney and Pamela Anderson to set him free.

He was mistreated at a temple in Maharashtra by his mahout and later abused when he was kept locked up in a poultry shed.

But Sunder has now been rescued and taken to the Bannerghatta Biological Park, outside of Bangalore. Dr Sunil Kumar, a vet who accompanied the elephant said the biggest concern was a swelling on his leg caused by years of continuous chaining.

He made the long journey of 680 kms from Kolhapur to Bangalore by road in a truck and arrived at the park.

~~Sunder, the Elephant’s Inspiring Story~~

~~Published on Mar 31, 2015~~

Sunder the elephant spent years in chains, first at a temple, then outside the home of a powerful local politician.

PETA India filmed workers who beat Sunder even though he was chained and unable to move.

He wasn’t given enough food or protection from the scorching heat or monsoon rains.

Perhaps worst of all, Sunder never even saw another elephant.

But thanks to PETAIndia, all that changed. After an extensive campaign involving protests, meetings with officials, and celebrity support, the Indian Supreme Court ordered that Sunder be freed and sent to a wildlife park.

Finally, Sunder is enjoying freedom, plenty of food, and, best of all, the company of other elephants.

His new life is just beginning.
