"SHOCKED!,!" EXCLAIMED THE PRINCE
On 17 October, 2018, I had this to say in my blog about the disappearance of Mr. Khashoggi,
"The Prince will come up with some bullshit claim that a lower level Saudi asshole developed the brilliant idea of secretly killing Khashoggi, cutting him up, and departing the country with the body parts in their luggage. The Prince will claim he knew nothing, and after a few days will "discover" the culprit and order the beheading of the hapless security official who was following orders but now needed to sacrifice his life for the Crown ... ."
I concluded:
"Some poor schmuck who was proud of the fact that he was a loyal servant to His Royal Highness will have to be killed. My guess: he will confess while his head is still attached, and his wife later will get a winning ticket to the Saudi version of Power Ball and a driver's license so she can get around in her new Mercedes Benz."
