Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the 32-year-old media-savvy leader of the oil kingdom, has been unnaturally quiet recently, so much so that some in the Middle East media couldn’t help but wonder if he is dead.
Bin Salman hasn’t been seen in the public eye since his meeting with the Spanish royal family in on April 12. On April 21, heavy gunfire was heard near a royal palace in Riyadh, the kingdom’s capital. ...

March 29,2018. Bill Clinton meets Saudi Prince Khalid bin Salman.
Fake news.
And fake news circluated in FR claimed that Saudi made a deal with Vatican about building a church in Riyadh.
“The Prince has a cold.”
(How the USSR’s news agencies explained away the absence of a dying or dead government official)
Yes, that was certainly fake news. This story is a bit less unlikely. But I am only posting it as a rumour. I don’t know what the situation is.
Oh my gosh. Arkincide.
Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The pay-to-play suck-up begins.
EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.
As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole. “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.
Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website. Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.
==============================================
AND THIS---Course, this is just a wild guess on my part (smirk), but I don't think the Saudi Royals like being jerked around by a coupla hicks from Arkansas.
The Saudis put hundreds of millions into the Clintons pockets when she was Secy of State, thinking she'd be president. Must be a lot of nay-saying in the desert now that the Clintons are political dead meat.
==================================================
Turns out the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).
Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Claims
Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016 3:57 AM | Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins
(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)
“Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.
The Saudi Press Agency reported that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties.
Obama and Crown Prince Mohamed.
Maybe the drone got him.

His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Saudi Crown Prince, Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Defense received on Friday the President of the International Football Association (FIFA) Gianni Infantino.
During the meeting, they reviewed ways of enhancing cooperation between FIFA and the General Sports Authority.
The meeting was also attended by GSA Chairman of the Board of Directors, Turki Al-Sheikh.
I’m sure more than one fairly disinterested observer wondered how long this guy was gonna live...
I believe GSA Chair Turki is the one who went to Georgetown U with Bill Clinton.
" Hillary is a sure thing to be president. She'll serve out my third term.
I signed off on the arms deal. So go ahead and make the donation to my foundation "
Hmmmm. Was Infantino the only non-Saud present? Had Infantino ever met the prince before? FWIW, I hope the Sauds get the prince out for a more robust photo op. I wouldn’t take this one at face value. FWIW. :-)
Meanwhile, a crackdown on women’s rights continues. Interesting....
With this bunch in Saud, one never knows.
The over-under on him being dead is pretty high on any given day. There is a deeply entrenched segment who have no interest in “opening” Arabia as this one wants.
We’ll see which side wins.

The above is from two days ago. I’ve scoured the news and can’t find any reports of anyone who knows MbS getting any face time with him recently...
There are pictures of the meeting at the link.
