If you follow the news you have heard about the supposed abduction and murder of 'journalist' Jamal Khashoggi. Even President Trump has commented unfavorably on his disappearance.
New information coming out of Germany via Die Welt seems to indicate that while Khashoggi was currently writing for The Washington Post, his longer term career path involved both Saudi intelligence and the Muslim Brotherhood which opposes the Saudi royal family.
David Goldman, who channels Spengler for PJ Media, has an English translation of the German original, if you'd like to see it. Goldman's view is that Khashoggi was playing a dangerous game for and against people who play for keeps. This in a region where human life is mostly valuable only to the self, and perhaps to a few close relatives.
The Saudi royals very likely view the Iranians and the Muslim Brotherhood as equally dangerous to their continued rule. Iran being the external threat and the Muslim Brotherhood the internal one.
If Khashoggi was (a) once a Saudi spook as alleged, who (b) nevertheless came to favor the Brotherhood and was (c) ill-advised enough to share that favorable view, his death under mysterious circumstances should be taken as inevitable.
