Readers of this site may wish to compare and contrast that analysis to the information brought forward in this article:

Regime Change In Riyadh? The CIA Has Just Publicly Dumped MbS (10/28/2018 originally at ZeroHedge)

Of course, FT, ZeroHedge, SGT Report, and even the reader may still agree that he is certainly a pitiless murderer. That agreement may not be quite so certain after reviewing this:

The Jamal Khashoggi Hoax (6-pge PDF, and yes I know well that MM is disinfo, but everyone is free to validate the evidence brought forward for themselves)

So then one must explain to oneself why--if MbS is indeed an asset and a dictator--there is all this lying and hoaxery surrounding him? Simply to confuse us? I would submit that anyone who holds a view advanced endlessly by the mainstream is indeed confused.
