Khashoggi Murder Evidence
“The rotten tree-trunk, until the very moment when the storm-blast breaks it in two, has all the appearance of might it ever had. The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now. Listen with the ears of psychohistory, and you will hear the creaking.” — Hari Seldon The above quote is from the […]
Trump Bends a Knee to the Prince
It’s painfully obvious to even the most casual observer that Mohammad bin Salman was responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia publicly beheads people for the “crimes” of apostasy, witchcraft, premarital sex, and being gay.

These people (Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting victims) were gunned down in their place of […]
