If you were ever in the dark like I was about why journalist, Jamal Khashoggi was allegedly murdered by the henchmen of the Saudi prince this video is both enlightening and sarcastically revealing about it and the Saudi NEOM / LINE project.
"On 2 October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident journalist, was killed by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Khashoggi was ambushed and strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi operatives. His body was dismembered and disposed of in some way that was never publicly revealed."
I happened to comment on this ambitious super future very aspirational authoritarian "Capitalism" project previously, but Patrick Boyle has done the deep dive and research and very cautiously lays it all out with great tongue in cheek humor. It is pretty funny; you know in a dark and sarcastic way.

Why was Khashoggi murdered in such a brutal manner, strangled and hacked to pieces? It is never suggested to speak strongly or disparaging against the very ambitious plans of a soon to be King. You can hear his comments in the video. Even if the soon to be King gives indications that he desires to modernize and become a bit less dictatorial. Mr. Khashoggi unfortunately must have confused himself and got out over his skis in his criticism as the Saudi government attempts to transition from an oil / fossil fuel-based economy into the modern "hospitality" world where the U.N. "GREEN" Agenda 2030 will be realized. Another very aspirational plan made by another set of authoritarians.
"A man has got to know his limitations", Dirty Harry.
I will stick to my initial read on this NEOM project: Too much time, money and luxury make you stupid.
