SAUDI ARABIA - Have we seen this before?

SAUDI ARABIA - HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE?

Now and then history seems to repeat itself.

In 1170 the English King Henry ll is reputed to have said: "‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?’ ”.

His reference was to Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a troublesome opponent of his.

Four Knights of his inner circle took their cue from this and went to Canterbury and butchered the Archbishop in his own church. King Henry ll lived 19 more years and instituted many innovations including establishing the basis for what is now known as English Common Law.

It may have taken 848 years but it could be that we have another King (or Prince) whose loyal inner circle made the decision to take matters into their own hands and remove an annoying reporter, seen as disloyal to their royalty.

Presently the Saudi's have told so many stories that it would be difficult to believe anything they might say in regard to what took place.

The earliest references to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by 'rouge actors' might have some actual merit as well as having a historical president.
