Look guys, chill! I saw someone imply on Twitter that Donald Trump is an accomplice in a murder cover-up. This person knows as well as all the ones who liked the tweet that they all just don\u2019t know. They don\u2019t know exactly what Trump knows about the chilling Khashoggi execution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Just like they don\u2019t know exactly what happened in the consulate. Information from anonymous Turkish sources is dripping through drop by drop, and it looks terrible -and terribly graphic-, but the conclusion that Trump wants to cover up a murder is multiple tokes over the line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Saudi attempt at labeling the execution a kidnapping gone wrong is out the window if only a tenth of the Turkish sources\u2019 claims is true. What emerges is a picture of premeditated torture and murder. And one that was ordered by someone in the royal family. Which can really only be one of two people: the King or his son, MbS, and the latter seems more suspect. But what any of it has to do with Trump remains to be seen,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He\u2019s not liking the whole thing one bit, that\u2019s for sure. If only because whatever America does vis a vis the Saudi\u2019s is now ultimately his call. While the strong link between the two countries was established decades ago, and would be very hard to untangle, if it comes to that. See, I can write <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theautomaticearth.com\/2018\/10\/ban-saudi-oil\/\" target=\"new\">Ban Saudi Oil<\/a>, as I did last week, but I also realize how extensive the consequences for the US economy would be if such a thing were considered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not a decision you take lightly. Trump for instance knows full well what would happen to his standing and popularity if gas prices were to double or triple overnight. Is that a reason to let the Saudi\u2019s get away with murder? No, but it is a reason to be circumspect, and to demand solid evidence. Doing that doesn\u2019t make anyone an accomplice to a murder cover-up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chill!
