In high school, Jamal Khashoggi had a good friend. His name was Osama bin Laden.“We were hoping to establish an Islamic state anywhere,” Khashoggi reminisced about their time together in the Muslim Brotherhood. “We believed that the first one would lead to another, and that would have a domino effect which could reverse the history of mankind.”
Frontpage Magazine by Daniel Greenfield The friendship endured with Jamal Khashoggi following Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan. Khashoggi credited Adel Batterjee, listed at one time as one of “the world’s foremost terrorist financiers” by the Treasury Department, with bringing him to Afghanistan to report on the fighting.
The media calls Khashoggi a journalist, but his writings from 80s Afghanistan read as Jihadist propaganda with titles like, “Arab Mujahadeen in Afghanistan II: Exemplifies the Unity of Islamic Ummah”.
And when Osama bin Laden set up Al Qaeda, he called Khashoggi with the details. After Afghanistan, Jamal Khashoggi went to work as a media adviser for former Saudi intel boss, Prince Turki bin Faisal, alleged to have links to Al Qaeda. Those allegations came from, among others, Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged twentieth hijacker.
When the other 19 hijackers perpetrated the attacks of September 11, Khashoggi wrote that the Saudis would not “give in” to American “demands” for “unconditional condemnation” and “total cooperation”.
“Saudis tend to link the ugliness of what happened in New York and Washington with what has happened and continues to happen in Palestine. It is time that the United States comes to understand the effect of its foreign policy and the consequences of that policy,” he declared.
That’s the real Khashoggi, a cynical and manipulative apologist for Islamic terrorism, not the mythical martyred dissident whose disappearance the media has spent the worst part of a week raving about.
Jamal Khashoggi was NOT a moderate. Some describe him as the leader of the Saudi Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic extremist network admires Hitler and seeks to impose Islamic law around the world.
Nor was he a supporter of freedom of the press. In one of his Al Jazeera appearances, he complained that the Saudi government was allowing some journalists to report positively on Israel.
His final project, DAWN or Democracy for the Arab World Now was meant to aid Islamic extremists. According to Azzam Al-Tamimi, an old Muslim Brotherhood ally aiding Jamal, “The Muslim Brothers and extremists were the biggest victims of the foiled Arab spring.” Al-Tamimi has endorsed suicide bombings.
But unlike Osama bin Laden, Khashoggi did not use the Muslim Brotherhood as a gateway drug to the pure and uncut violence of Al Qaeda or ISIS. He was still betting on a political takeover. As he recently put it, “Democracy and political Islam go together.”
Khashoggi went on making the case for the Islamic state of the Muslim Brotherhood. He went on making that case even as the Saudis decided that the Brotherhood had become too dangerous.
Like his old friend, Jamal Khashoggi went into exile in a friendly Islamic country. Osama bin Laden found refuge in Pakistan and Khashoggi ended up in Turkey. Living in Turkey put Khashoggi at the intersection of the Turkish-Qatari backers of the Brotherhood and the Western media.
His disappearance has touched off fury and anger from the Islamist regime that harbored him. And it has also set off an unprecedented firestorm of rage and grief by the American media which adored him. Media spin describes Khashoggi as a dissident. And he certainly was that. But so was Osama bin Laden.
What Khashoggi was NOT, was a moderate. No more so than the Muslim Brotherhood. He wasn’t a proponent of human rights, but of Islamic rule. He could be found on Al Jazeera, Qatar’s Jihadist propaganda network, bemoaning Saudi opposition to the Brotherhood and its friendliness to Israel.
“Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman should get rid of his complex against the Muslim Brotherhood and stop treating them as the enemy or a threat to Saudi Arabia,” he complained, and urged the Saudis to fight Israel instead.
Jamal Khashoggi’s career of spouting Muslim Brotherhood propaganda for his new Turkish and Qatari masters came to an end in a curious way. Before Khashoggi allegedly entered the Saudi embassy, from which Turkey claims that he disappeared, he told his Turkish fiancé to call Yasin Aktay if he didn’t return.
One obvious explanation is that Khashoggi’s mysterious disappearance was a propaganda ploy. It wouldn’t be the first time that the Turkish regime executed a false flag operation. Or the first time that the media ate it up.
Erdogan and Khashoggi are both militant Islamic activists. And their opponents, the victims of Erdogan’s Reichstag fire and the new Saudi king, had fallen afoul of them for being insufficiently militantly Islamist.
The media will always take the side of Islamic extremists. That’s why it bleeds for Khashoggi.
There was a reason why Jamal Khashoggi felt so comfortable in Turkey, while actual journalists in the country were terrified of being locked up, tortured and disappeared. If that was the fate that befell Khashoggi, it was a commonplace one in Turkey. And it may have been carried out by his own Turkish allies who decided that their Saudi subversive had more value as a false flag martyr than a house guest.
The media’s disproportionate outrage over Khashoggi has nothing to do with human rights. If it did, the media would have been just as outraged at the arrests and torture of tens of thousands in Turkey.
And the politicians shrilly urging that we punish the Saudis never thought about curtailing arms sales to Turkey. Many of the same politicians were unhappy when President Trump used economic pressure on Erdogan in an effort to free American hostages, like Pastor Andrew Brunson, being held by Turkey.
This is about Islam.
Media outrage over Khashoggi, like its claims of a human rights crisis over the Saudi bombings in Yemen, are not journalism, they’re the political spin of the Islamist axis. The media has reported every claim of victimhood by the Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar’s Al Jazeera propaganda arm, while giving as little attention as possible to the victims of Muslim Brotherhood church bombings.
Its coverage of Israel has been little more than terrorist propaganda since Osama was in diapers. Its coverage of the Khashoggi case is every bit as dishonest as its slanted attacks on the Saudi embargo of Qatar, as its propaganda about the wars in Yemen and Libya, and just as devoid of context.
The media wants the Saudis to answer questions about Jamal Khashoggi. But maybe the media should be forced to answer why the Washington Post was working with a Muslim Brotherhood propagandist? The real mystery isn’t Khashoggi’s disappearance. It’s why Republicans aren’t asking those questions.
The media’s relationship with Khashoggi is far more damning than anything the Saudis might have done to him. And the media should be held accountable for its relationship with Osama bin Laden’s old friend.
Thanks for the great info keep up the good work
I’ve been watching Fox News. It seems Trump wants answers and is getting (too) involved…I’d hope not…
Never saw that much interest in KSA involvement in 9/11 attack. Quite the contrary. Bush covered up and diverted any attention to the possibility of KSA being involved.
I cried the whole night about this tragic event……but then I realized that he is now in paradise with all that virgins taking care of that guy who still questions the religion of peace I am so happy now
Saudis threw all body parts of their Salafist goat boy to desert animals hopefully. Perhaps they saved the heart for Soros transplant # 10.
What a fascinating story this is! When they find out what truly happened, although I doubt it, it would make a great movie.

Thanks TS. Another story that won’t make it past the blogosphere.
Why does the Islamic state have to be in Europe or America?
Because slavery and conquest and plunder are virtue’s for muslims. Because creepy uncle ‘mo commanded muslims to seize all lands not yet trod by muslims.
Because islam is a supremacist, political doctrine with an objective to enslave the planet.
Because the ’10 commandments ‘ of islam are kill Jews, kill kuffar, loot, rape, enslave, pillage, plunder, lie, rape livestock, and murder other muslims of undesirable castes or races..
Because the west’s leadership caste are treacherous, hate-filled, bigoted , avaricious scum who are bought with alarmingly tiny amounts of saudi blood money.
Turks Saudi’es condemn the other Trump he don’t know who did it and the Mossad is not talking
I am supposed to weep over an enemy of Israel and America such as Kashoggi? I don’t think so.
Great article, Bonni. One can only hope that our government has this same information and knows what to do with it.
I’m sure they have it. Perhaps Trump is sending Pence to Saudi Arabia to shut up the sharia-compliant media. I have no doubt that John Bolton knows about this guy’s MB and terrorist ties.
well I hope he gets his 72 goats
Chubby rich boy jihadist Khashoggi is where he should be, with his best bud Osama. Burning in hellfire.
just ANOTHER worthless muslime no loss
The short of this story is never trust a Muslim! Aside from that I’d just say that the US wasn’t very concerned about Saudi Arabia after most of the 911 hijackers were Saudis but now, after one, Muslim wacko is missing the US is ready for action! Too bad we didn’t have a backbone after 911. Instead of spending 2 decades in Afghanistan we should have taken care of Saudi Arabia in short order. A lot fewer American lives might have been injured or killed and Mosques wouldn’t be being built and financed in the US by them.
Nor would Agenda 21, now Agenda 2030, be being perpetrated on American schools and society.
Thanks to Bush and Obama.
I don’t shed a tear for Kashogi who was the friend of Osama bin Laden and himself a Muslim extremist with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Sounds like the Saudis are cleaning up their swamp, too. Good for them!
I’ve never trusted them, probably never will, but if they’re gonna try to change their spots, so be it! All the better for everyone.
Anyone with ties to the MB needs to be “eliminated”.
Jamal+Osama+Washington Post=Treason against the USA, & now All of the Fake Media is up in Arms for President Trump to take the Bait!
Not one American Life should be committed to solving the “Fat Boy’s” So-Called “Disappearance”.
Where is the criticism of Fasscist state of TURKEY when thousands of Journalist in Jail or anyone that critice Hitlerodogan is thrown in Jail.
Jamal and Osama wanted to …. “reverse the history of mankind” …. what part …. 1400 years of aggressive Islamic expansion …. Islamic expansion and terror going parabolic …. Islamic diaspora financed by western Dhimmis …. the cold fusion of Socialism and Islamism into a deadly cancerous cocktail ?
I broke the Islamic code …. Istanbul is Bulistan …. the Caliphate of Bullies ?
Hey, that Washington Post building …. looks more Babilonian (a “hanging” garden with farting patios) …. than Greco-Roman ?
If it calls it self a muslim, it is the enemy, period. That’s it, that’s all.
Better off dead, shame it didn’t happen sooner. All this show is the true face of the Saudi regime.
For those who don’t know, the KSA is an absolute, islamic tyranny. It is ruled with an iron fist by vicious muslim despots who are no different in thought and deed from Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim; the fat, paederast, murdering, thieving dwarf (Hadith 40:4731; ‘When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat!’) who founded the death cult of islam in 625 AD. This is a despotic, evil Sunni regime that, with Shiite Iran, and all the other muslims, is guilty of slaughtering 270,000,000 million human beings.
Fun factoids: 12 million muslims have been slaughtered by other muslims since 1947.
Fact: some 40 million humans are held as chattel slaves in muslim countries right now.
Fact: Despite lies to the contrary, not a single muslim nation is a democracy.
Fact: Saudi Arabia regularly executes people ( fortunately, mostly muslims ) for blasphemy, for sorcery, for being raped, and for criticising the wahabi monarchy.
Fact: The minority wahabi ruling caste is despised through out the muslim world, and only keeps it’s position by killing opponents, and bribing off tribal and clan leaders.
Fact: Greece publishes more books yearly than the entire muslim world has in it’s entire 1410 year history.
Fact: 70% of muslims are illiterate. Over 80% of muslims have never read the quran.
Fact: If the west cuts off the islamic world by not buying it’s oil, by isolating it from banking systems, and imposing a quarantine, islam would collapse in a matter of a few years.
Fact: The leaders of the KSA, and every other person identifying then selves as muslim want you, a non-muslim, enslaved, subjugated or dead.
Fact: The CIA bought Chinese DF-3 IRBM’s to equip the Saudi Strategic Missile Force in 1989. More advanced missiles have been bought since then, mostly with US tax money.
Fact: Saudi Arabia funded most of the Pakistani nuclear program, mostly with gifted US tax money. They have the bomb, and the delivery systems.
Fact: Islamic doctrine says they will use any weapon they can get, and there are no rules in islamic war.
The long expected nuclear war will be with islam. Wait for it.
Fact: If the muslims win, it is a death sentence for the entire Human race.
Fact: We do them now, which will be bad, and get it over with, and destroy Islam in detail. If we wait for the muslims to start the last phase, nobody gets out alive.
How ‘effing cool is that?
Can’t argue with that!
But the first strategy that the West should adopt is full-blooded economic and political/cultural sanctions against Saudi Arabia an of course several other Arab countries.
They won’t though because of the oil and the wealth it provides via corruption to Western politicians – and not to just a few but to many of those despicable creatures.
I do not know how accurate this is but I read that the US is already independent of oil imports as a result of fracking and shale oil production. If this is true everything could change.
do you think our President has been informed of this?
I’d say so.
