EU pays tribute to Saudi journalist Khashoggi on anniversary of killing - by Toga Bozoglu
The European Union paid tribute on 2 October to the memory of Jamal Khashoggi,
a Saudi journalist who was murdered last year in the premises of the
Consulate General of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul.
The EU reiterated in a statement the need to ensure full accountability for those responsible and insisted on an investigation of the circumstances of the killing.
“Jamal Khashoggi continues to be an inspiration to journalists and associates with whom he was in contact for his work, including colleagues in the EU institutions.”
“As Jamal Khashoggi, journalists are too often the target of attacks in many countries.
On this occasion, the European Union reaffirms its unequivocal commitment to the freedom of the press and the protection of journalists across the world.”, the statement reads.
Note-EU-Digest: Kudos to the Government of Turkey, for renaming a street near the former Saudi Consulate General offices in Istanbul, "the Khashoggi street", and allowing Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon, and owner of the Washington Post, where Khashoggi worked, to unveil a memorial to the murdered journalist today, the first anniversary of the journalist's death.
The US remains the number one exporter of arms to Saudi Arabia and the world. Earlier in the year, Trump rebuffed bi-partisan US congressional efforts to punish Saudi Arabia for the killing of columnist Jamal Khashoggi , and turned back criticism over the kingdom’s prosecution of its war against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The Netherlands: Marianne Thieme steps down after 17 years as founder and party leader of the Animals Rights Party (PvdD)
Marianne Thieme,
founder of the Dutch animal rights party PvdD, is stepping down as
leader after 17 years.
Thieme’s announcement on Sunday came as a surprise to most of the
political world, in keeping with a career that has constantly defied
expectations.
‘Party leaders usually step down as MPs after losing an election,’ she
told a gathering of Partij voor de Dieren members. ‘Looking at our
growing movement, that would mean I wouldn’t be able to stop until I was
300 years old. But I’m not waiting until then: I’m doing it today.’
The 47-year-old said she had made up her mind following the European
Parliament elections in May, where the PvdD retained the seat it won in
2014.
Thieme founded the party on October 28 2002 to promote animal rights in
the context of a wider programme of activism on a range of issues
spanning vegetarianism, women’s rights and the TTIP transatlantic trade
treaty.

World Day for Migrants and Refugees: 'We cannot remain insensitive': Pope decries world's indifference to migrants, refugees
Pope Francis on Sunday decried "the culture of comfort" that leads to indifference in the face of a global migration and refugee crisis.
The Pope, who has made caring for migrants a major objective of his papacy, spoke during a mass at the Vatican in Rome for the World Day for Migrants and Refugees.
"We cannot be indifferent to the tragedy of old and new forms of poverty, to the bleak isolation, contempt and discrimination experienced by those who do not belong to 'our group,"' Francis said.
"We cannot remain insensitive,our hearts deadened, before the misery of so many innocent people. We must not fail to weep. We must not fail to respond.
The pontiff has often spoken of the need to be welcoming to migrants, travelling to the Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013 on his first trip as Pope to comfort refugees.
His message found political resistance in Italy's previous populist government, during which the former hard-line interior minister, Matteo Salvini, campaigned to prevent the arrival in Italy of migrants rescued at sea by humanitarian groups.
The Pope also noted the weapons that fuel wars are often produced and sold in other regions, "which are then unwilling to take in the refugees generated buy these conflicts."

Capitalism: The Bilderberg Group safeguarding the future of Capitalism?
The 67th Meeting of the secretive Bilderberg group was held from 30 May
to 2 June 2019, with some 130 guests from all over the world. 23
countries that stayed in one of the most sumptuous places in
Switzerland, the Montreux Palace Hotel.
Among the participants this year were the Dutch King Willem Alexander, Dutch PM Mark Rutte, Jared Kushner and Mike Pompeo from the USA.
The Bilderberg meetings began at the start of the Cold War as a
discussion club of American and European leaders against communism or,
more specifically, against the Soviet Union. The first event took
place in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel (which remained as the name of the
group), in the Dutch city of Oosterbeek. Since then its meetings have
been in various places in the western world.
Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting was designed to foster warmer relations between the United States and Europe. The annual talk fest is considered secretive because guests are not allowed to reveal who said what at the meeting.
One of the permanent agenda items propagated by the Bilderbergers is the reduction of the world’s population, so that the few at the top can live better and longer with the world’s rapidly diminishing resources.
Switzerland has been one of the Group’s preferred host countries after the United States. Switzerland had hosted it five times before this occasion (1960, 1970, 1981, 1995 and 2011).
Bilderbergers conferences are secret events, run by those who pull the strings behind world leaders – politicians, CEOs, big financiers and other business executives, artists and personalities from the Western world.
They are almost always American and Euro-Western. This time there were a dozen from Turkey, Poland, Bulgaria and Estonia.
The most they get to the East is Turkey, perhaps in the hope of attracting it back to NATO from where it is slowly trying to move away from.
Yes indeed, call the "Bilderbergers" whatever you want to, but don't be mistaken, they are not just any rich and influential people, they are the richest and most powerful people on the planet.
Among the members of this club are George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz (former World Bank president and the godfather of the Iraq War), Henry Kissinger (who got the Nobel Peace Prize soon after he authorised chemical warfare against Vietnam), Tony Blair (best known for lying about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction), European royalty, CIA directors past and present, directors of the British secret service MI6, and other such figureheads.
