Some senior figures detained in last Saturday's purge in Saudi Arabia were beaten and tortured so badly during their arrest or subsequent interrogations that they required hospital treatment, Middle East Eye can reveal.

People inside the royal court also told MEE that the scale of the crackdown, which has brought new arrests each day, is much bigger than Saudi authorities have admitted, with more than 500 people detained and double that number questioned.

Members of the royal family, government ministers and business tycoons were caught up in the sudden wave of arrests orchestrated by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, under the banner of an anti-corruption drive.

Some, but not all, of the top figures arrested were singled out for the most brutal treatment, suffering wounds to the body sustained by classic torture methods. There are no wounds to their faces, so they will show no physical signs of their ordeal when they next appear in public

Given what has transpired this week, it’s not enough to just say the sons of a bushes are owned by the Saudis. You now have to say which faction of the Saudis own them: the primitives or the modernizing reformers.

The sons of a bushes are owned by the dying primitive faction.

[JustaTech]

By all rights this process should result in a refund of trillion$ to the US, confiscated from the condemned Saudis. We need reparations for 9/11, and a refund with interest and penalty for the extra revenue the Saudis pocketed when oil prices soared post-9/11.

[Terry Mross]

Yep. They’re all panicking.

[Vision Thing]

What’s hilarious about it all is that a Texas-made industry — fracking — has led to the downfall of the primitive saudis. Papa bush and dubya’s own state just offed the bush moneymakers.

The Saudis are in a time zone that is one week ahead of us. So they already know what`s gonna happen next week and what all those princes were gonna do a week before they did it coz they hold meetings in the future.Back to the future...even the days change places- Friday becomes Monday etc.

“The Ministry of Finance held a workshop on Monday, November 17, 2017, to discuss the key features of the new Government Tenders and Procurement Law, in the presence of a number of economists, media professionals and interested people either in traditional media or digital media.”

This is simply the modern version of the Ottoman “silk cord” given to princes with claims to the crown upon coronation of the new Padishah or Sultan, (or King). Mostly a nothing burger except for the new guy seems like a little more socially liberal and not a wahhabist fan.

Wake me up when something happens that has not happened under a royal succession in the last 2000 years.

Salman wasn`t staying at the Tropicana- he was gambling there.

Or they finally put some of those petrol dollars to good use and fitted a delorean with a flux capacitor before the libyans could get to them.

A global draining of the swamp (which the Crown Prince has just joined with Trump) coinciding with a crown change has never happened before. Nappy time is ovah!

[bunkerhill7]

They arrested his daughter too

I think the crown prince should try to off soros, who is bad for every nation’s business, including his.

Not Guilty

[Steve Van Doorn]

Bunkerhill said, "Salman was in Las Vegas at the Tropicana, Oct. 1, 2017, being escorted out by a SWAT team"

Out of accuracy of reporting AmericanMade has met the head of Security for the Tropicana.

AmericanMade there has been a rumor going around that the man holding the money wasn't a security guard for the Tropicana. The rumor is that it might have been the Salman crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

AmericanMade you have met the head of security. Could you put in your two cents in. I would like your opinion.

Was the man holding the money walking through the Tropicana the man you met or could have it been someone else?

Thank you

Ve half veys of making you talk....

[WMarshal]

My eyes.... are.... totally.... dry.

“Salman was in Las Vegas at the Tropicana, Oct. 1, 2017, being escorted out by a SWAT team ready to fire at anyone, at the time of the Mandalay incident.”

I wonder if Trump told the Saudis that if they don’t punish the guilty that the American military would be coming and bringing hell with them?

[Flaming Conservative]

I know I’m not supposed to wish retribution of the violent type on people, but I wouldn’t be offended if that Saudi Prince who sodomized that woman attending a party in his home in California, then walked free because of diplomatic immunity, is among those getting punished.

[blueplum]

it’s the magic ball

[9YearLurker]

I thought two princes had already died—one in a plane crash and the other resisting arrest?

[AmericanMade]

He introduced himself to me as the head of security. I had an incident of someone trying to get into my room. He came to my room and contacted his employee to have tape rolled back to determine what happened. The incident was not handled when first it was reported to front desk, so he came to my room when I escalated the situation to hotel mgt. When he was on duty that night he dressed professionally but not in security clothes, definitely not shorts. He was American. The guy on the video appears to me to be him.
