Yes, the Silicon valley elite who LOVE to virtue signal about how moral and correct they are haven't had a whole lot to say, wonder why?

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, hasn't had much to say:

Twitter boss Jack Dorsey unusually tight lipped too:

The owner of Amazon.com and the Washington Post (Jeff Bezos) also not saying much about the savage murder of one of his writers, can't think why not?

These are not current though. Lets see some future post murder sofa chats with this lot.

Don't expect any of our virtuous Western countries to cancel big arms deals (or other lucrative contracts) with the Saudis ... our politicians are up for sale and the Saudis have some of the biggest wallets on the planet.

Wouldn't do to offend someone who is in the position to make you a lot of money when you leave politics. or who has a lot of business that they can do with your set of existing benefactors in the business world.

Given that Saudis regularly impose corporal (or even capital) punishment on dissenters, are the source of and major financial backers of Wahabist/Salafist Islamic fundamentalists, kidnapped the PM of Lebanon, have been carrying out a genocidal war in Yemen for three years (which is massively under-reported in the Western Media) and now have butchered a dissident in one of their embassies, you have to wonder what they'd have to do that would actually result in the West disowning them ...... run out of cash, perhaps?

MBS even he had the gall to make a joke about the Lebanon PM being in Ryiadh - "Prime Minister Saad is staying in the kingdom for two days so I hope you don’t spread rumours that he was kidnapped."

Riiiiight, of course that is what happened!

Now Turkey telling little lies no doubt. As predicted, there must be some negotiating and deals being done behind closed doors.

[ZX10R NIN]

Yep the deal was done when the head of the CIA went over the day before President Erdogan was about to reveal all.

[WCZ]

I thought people had stopped caring about this now but it's actually the most read story on bbc news:

Khashoggi murder: Body 'dissolved in acid'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-46070...

wondering what other information is going to be leaked and if anything is actually going to happen

[B17NNS]

The story seems to have slowly fizzled out. As another poster alluded to I imagine a deal has been struck.

A brutal travesty. I hope (if the audio/video evidence does exist) it gets leaked for the world to see.

[turbomoped]

everyone wants instant action in this digital world then? These things take time to play out. mbs has probably been hiding under his bed hoping it will all go away. Does that happen in other murders?
Non slave uk news seems to indicate his older less murderous brother has flow back to ksa for some reason.
Maybe they are trying to get him to take over as the exciting young prince seems more interested in killing than modernizing.

[BlackLabel]

The Washington Post gives Erdogan, possibly the world’s worst persecutor of journalists, a platform so he can pretend to be interested in the safety of journalists.

Daily Mail said:

Another dissident journalist has reportedly been tortured and killed in Saudi Arabia.

Turki Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Jasser is said to have been murdered in jail a month after Jamal Khashoggi was slaughtered in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.

News site "The New Khaleej" reported Al-Jasser's death on Saturday quoting human rights sources. The report has not been confirmed.

[BlackLabel]

They even locked up an economist for disagreeing, on social media, with the Saudi government’s valuation of Aramco (the Saudi Arabian state oil company).

Isn't it good to have balance

[B17NNS]

It really is like reading a few chapters of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

[Cobnapint]

There are so many countries regressing into dictatorship and oppression just lately - Saudi, Russia, China, Turkey.

Wtf is going on?

Of course they'll do it again .. and again. They got away with probably the most egregious example of murdering political opponents possible ..... it's normalised now. Same as how Israel repeatedly kill civilians as they've normalised it.

Oh, and of course Saudi Arabia and Israel are the Wests two key allies in the region. They can do anything they like without worrying about reaction from our governments.

yep, everyone went crazy about the Jamal murder but nothing has happened and no one cares anymore

they can keep doing this and nothing will happen and no one will care for more than a week or so

they are too important as allies and rich enough to buy their way out of these situations

[FourWheelDrift]

I'm sure their social media trolls will have been working overtime to spread good news and downbeat anything said against the state.
