#1 I wonder if this case is politically similar to the shooting of West Berlin protester Benno Ohnesorg in 1967.

Could a Turkish/Qatari/Muslim Brotherhood/Iranian agent within the Saudi security infrastructure be responsible for the deadly escalation of Kashoggi's visit to the consulate?

The 1967 shooting by a West Berlin police officer who was also a communist and Stasi agent subsequently destabilized West Germany for decades and thus was a huge strategic success for East Germany.

If Erdogan is in possession of detailed information about the murder this would point to a successful Turkish infiltration of relevant Saudi government structures.

Conversely, if the Saudi government had intended to murder Kashoggi they could easily have done so preserving plausible deniability.

This doesn't add up.

Perhaps Erdogan is trying to replicate East Germany's success.

#2 An assassination could have been carried out by two men on a Chinese Honda with a silenced .22 pistol.

My guess is that it was a 'prisoner snatch' operation gone bad. If Khashoggi was an unwilling participant, resisted, and had to be sedated, anything could have happened. A team of seventeen men is not needed for a snatch or kidnapping. A clean-up or burial detail perhaps.

#3 A man who gleefully kills Kurds? Death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.

#5 I hope the naked truth comes out. The DS cabal/Western Intel, according to George Webb, paid for a Saudi coup, wiring the money to 17 Saudi Royal Guard operatives who Khashoggi was meeting in Turkey. That transaction can be traced, leading back to Soros, Clinton, Obama, Brennan, & Clapper. Apparently they got the admission on tape before the murder.
