Recently at the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, when the quixotic US president, Donald Trump – an avowed terrorist dreaming to become a mass murderer – met the murderous Mohamed bin Salman (MBS, the self-imposed Heir Apparent of Saudi Arabia), he was all praise for the notorious Najdi for "doing excellent job”.
Trump didn’t elaborate what excellent work MBS was doing in the fiefdom created by Britain in 1932 for the minority Wahhabi cult, whose heretical founder of the late 18th century, Mohamed bin Abdul-Wahhab, was also a British agent who championed sedition, plunder, torture, murder, and desecration of Islamic sanctities – in the guise of Islam, of course – for satisfying the devilish nature of uncivilized desert dwellers (and later of primitive mountain tribes in other lands), into believing that whatever they did was for religion and as ‘devout’ Muslims.
Since the hot topic coinciding with the G20 meeting was the well-researched report of Agnes Callamard, the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary and Arbitrary Executions, who found "credible evidence” of MBS’ involvement in the brutal dismemberment of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoqchi last October at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, the US president, in his usual hypocrisy, said some seemingly sympathetic words for The Washington Post columnist, but absolved Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler of any guilt.
It is the habit of hardened criminals not to criticize each other. And irrespective of the veracity of the UN report, why would Trump blame MBS when the latter is indeed doing "excellent job” in whatever Washington has entrusted him with.
First and foremost is the steady flow of hundreds of billions of dollars into US coffers of the ill-accumulated oil wealth (in fact, looted), of the Saudi clan in the name of arms purchases, technology and etc. – with generous percentage pouring into the personal accounts of Trump and family, including Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner for his drafting of the ‘deal of the century’ for the sellout of Palestine to the Zionist regime.
Then there is MBS’ avowed enmity with the Islamic Republic, and the funding of macabrely murderous terrorist outfits, known as Takfiris, to strike at Iranian interests and at Iranian allies anywhere in the region, including in Iran, where mercenaries based in Pakistan or Iraq come in handy for a fistful of dollars for cross-border acts of terrorism in the frontier provinces.
That is the reason the Riyadh regime, which is the principal financier for the MKO terrorists, carries out frequent bouts of massacres in the predominantly Shi’a Muslim oil-rich eastern region of the Arabian Peninsula and backs the repressive Aal-e Khalifa minority regime to crush the democratic aspirations of the long suppressed majority of Bahrain, where the US has based its 5th Fleet to fleece the Persian Gulf sheikhdoms on the pretext of providing protection to them by projecting Iran as the bogeyman.
Next is the genocidal war MBS has imposed upon Yemen over the past five years, massacring almost a hundred thousand men, women, and children so far, in addition to destroying the infrastructure and starving millions of others through blockade of that country’s land, sea and air corridors, because the Yemeni people strive to be independent of Saudi-American-Zionist hegemony.
The continued Najdi occupation of Hijaz, the Land of Divine Revelation (since the bloodbaths the Wahhabi hordes unleashed in 1925 in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina), and manipulation of the annual Hajj is also an "excellent job” that MBS carries out in the interests of the Americans and the Zionists by posing as "Custodian of the Two Holy Shrines” in order to hoodwink naïve Muslims into believing that the rite of "disavowal of disbelievers” with denunciation of the US and Israel, is tantamount to politicizing the pilgrimage and thereby irreligious – although in the opening ayahs of Surah Towba the Holy Qur’an commands the fulfillment of this ritual against the enemies of humanity.
MBS has delivered Egypt and Sudan to the US, is backing the CIA agent Khalifa Haftar’s bid to takeover Libya, and has endorsed the US recognition of Islam’s third holiest city, Bayt al-Moqaddas, as the capital of Israel.

All this means that he is doing an "excellent job”. So why would Trump and his team of thugs take cudgels on behalf of a dead journalist, whose bodily parts cruelly cut to pieces through a chainsaw while still alive and either burned or fed to animals, brings no benefit to the US?
"All is fair in crime and terrorism”, is the motto of megalomaniacs of our times, whether it is Trump, Netanyahu or MBS.
In other words, there are no takers, even at the UN headquarters in New York, for Agnes Callamard’s meticulous report on Khashoqchi’s murder despite the fact it is based on a six-month investigation, including access to recordings of events inside the consulate provided by the Turkish government.
We offer our condolences to the macabrely murdered journalist’s bereaved family, whether his sons Salah and Abdullah who unable to speak freely are living in an atmosphere of fear in Saudi Arabia, or whether his Turkish fiancée, Khadija Chengiz, who waited in vain outside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul for his return with permission for marriage, and through whom the whole world learned of the sadistic killing, which MBS had plotted to conceal forever.
