There was no official confirmation of the arrests.

Or perhaps Trump sent Salman the financial records of those who have been supporting rebels and insurgents.

Sounds like a coupe preemption. They have stopped international flights and are still looking for some people.

The SAME thing must happen here. A BUNCH of people need to be arrested for corruption, from CEOs, congressmen, State leaders, Local leaders and Wall Street big wigs. The corruption has to be terminated.

I believe your screen name will prove somewhat prophetic over time. In fact it already is. And I don’t mean the early days of Daniel’s captivity.

Is that a step down from a sedan preemption?

Let’s try that again - I meant the days under Belshazzar which is actually the latter days of Daniels captivity. I was trying to say NOT long, long ago.

Yep, the same prince that Rudi refused the 10 million check from after 911.
