Yesterday, we were all shocked to learn the details released by the Saudis regarding the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi. Most Americans and thinking people around the world were appalled at the story promoted by the Saudi Kingdom.

The claims that a 59 year-old writer would instigate a fist fight with 15 (or 18 in the new Saudi story) strong-arms who traveled to Istanbul with a bone saw is absolutely preposterous. Why would they need a forensics specialist for a q & a?

We know from leaks that Khashoggi's fingers were severed. Are we to believe he was trying to fist fight with his hand mutilated? Or did they cut his fingers off after the fist fight? Again, every detail in the official release is beyond belief for any thinking person.

President Trump has endorsed the story literally stating 'it's a good first step.' He has promoted violence against journalists at rallies in Montana and other states during

His son Eric appeared on Fox News yesterday afternoon where he called the Saudis his 'friends.' He asked listeners why 'throw all that away' over a dead journalist. The Trump family has thrived for decades with business deals totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Trump family has deep ties to the Saudis. Ivanka Trump set up a deal with the Saudis for a 100 million dollar donation to her effort during her visit in May, 2017. Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner has a very close and personal relationship with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince who rules the kingdom with an iron hand. Most people who follow middle eastern policy believe the crown prince ordered the mutilation and murder of Khashoggi.

We have a lot of questions and the flimsy excuse offered by the Saudis is filled with holes. Please take a moment today and share this petition with five friends. We have reached almost 500 people in two days thanks to you. We will not stop asking until the United Nations begins an official and legitimate investigation into the mutilation and murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
