Most Saudi Royals favor coup
PressTV ^ | Oct 1, 2015 | PressTV

“It is best for the country for King Salman to step down as well. We cannot take sick people in top leadership,” the grandson of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the state’s founder, told Britain's The Times daily.

He also said that Crown Prince Mohammad bin Nayef and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman would "have to be punished and thrown out.”

It is just a basket of scorpions. Burn the whole basket.

“Curious what the FReeper world thinks of this...”

I think the ground is shifting precipitously in the middle east. Symptoms everywhere.

OK, here is my take...

There is trouble in “Toyland as all of the rats in various cages have been working their devious we can do what we want for some time. As in any system of its type, internal warfare and intrigues are the nature of the game, exhibition of power and catch me if you can.

The pot has been boiling for some time, and now the lid is about to blow off

All of the Progressive plans to create a NWO just hit the wall, here on the 3rd rock from the Sun and more importantly spiritually

Watch and See as their plans fold back in on them

Popcorn, Cowbell, Mixed Nuts and a remote so I can flip channels and watch the Roaches run...

The Pendulum has changed direction and good is on the rise

God Bless

We’d better get used to riding bicycles to work.

Apparently there is resentment due to Salman’s preference for his own clan the Sudairi clan. Salman has been breaking the rules that have been in place by the former Kings and this is about to get interesting.

Seems like there are 2 obvious broad options.

1. Status quo, which leads to continued decline and probable removal of the entire ‘Royal’ family.

2. New set of Royals come in and try to re-establish control and quiet the masses.

My question is, what/who steps in to replace the Royals if option 1 is your choice? History would suggest that ‘regime change’ in the M.E. usually goes from kinda-bad to worse.

My other question is, what happens to oil prices? If that control structure ‘burns’...then what?

Does seem like a N. Korea kind of thing. Bat-$heit crazy father being replaced by radically incompetent son.

Country will suffer. People will die.

“Seen from Riyadh, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, the world around the mostly wealthy oil-producing [Gulf Cooperation Council] states has been turned on its head in the last four years. Every major geo-strategic potential threat or fear that they have quietly harboured for years has started to materialise – virtually simultaneously.”

Iranian propaganda.
Look at the source.
I have no confidence in the Saudi regime, but this is not the place to get a read on them.

The world would be a lot different had we taken down these wahabbist bastards following 9/11.

This will only get stronger the longer the price of oil stays low.

“This will only get stronger the longer the price of oil stays low.”

Agreed. But what can the Saudis do now? Restrict their oil and try to demand the other OPEC members do the same? They can’t! They are all broke. Saudi has used the one big weapon/threat it had and while it certainly caused a lot of pain to the OPEC members, they have all responded the same way: more oil! Going to be very difficult to slow the flow now.

Beside that, the US now has the ability to produce a lot of their own oil. Canada is also cranking out the oil and the Keystone pipe line will only help. Worst case, the price of oil maybe goes back up into the $60 range, $70 tops, but the days of $100 barrels of oil, I think, are over. If true, the OPEC members with economies that are geared for $100 oil are rather seriously screwed.

I heard years ago like 85% of Saudi’s hate the ruling family. Problem is the ruling family has 85% of the weapons needed to overthrow them. And that the 85% are the ones who knocked down the twin towers.
