Saudi Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has warned the country's royal family to step down and flee before a military coup or a popular uprising overthrows the kingdom.
In a letter published by Wagze news agency on Tuesday, the Cairo-based prince warned Saudi Arabia's ruling family of a fate similar to that of Iraq's executed dictator Saddam Hussein and the ousted Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, calling on them to escape before people "cut off our heads in streets."
He warned that the Saudi royal family is no longer able to "impose" itself on people, arguing that deviations in carrying out the religious concepts that make up the basis of the Saudi government "have gotten out of our hands," so that the opposition views our acts as "interfering in people's private life and restricting their liberties."
"If we are wise, we must leave this country to its people, whose dislike for us is increasing," said Prince Turki, advising Saudi officials to escape with their families.
"Do it today before tomorrow as long as the money we have is enough for us to live anywhere in the world; from Switzerland to Canada and Australia…we should not return as long as we are able to get out safely, we must take our families quickly and pull out," he urged.
"Do not fool yourself by relying on the United States or Britain or Israel, because they will not survive the loss; the only door open is now the exit door of no return. Let us go before it closes."
He finally warned against a military coup against the ruling family, saying "no one will attack us from outside but our armed forces will attack us."
Prince Turki is a member of the liberal Free Princes movement founded in the 1950s

Unless of course it spreads to Iran.
Remember how quickly things came unglued in Eastern Europe.
Very difficult to put a fence around revolutions. 1848 and all that.
the moment the artical said coup, was proof its all BS. The saudi’s have to import troops and airmen. There people can’t fight or fly. If anything pakistan would be more likely to take them over. There people are already in place in the millitary.
There's a movement for that? You wouldn't think even a sewing circle parlor to hold all of those.
And maybe even a leader with questionable loyalties here in the states seeking the same ...
That was a funny movie.
Russia. Iran. Venezuela. Stable Arab dictators.
Don't be surprised if KGB is working hard on this, they make a fortune in oil prices and cause problems for USA. Two birdsky in one shotsky.
Oil. Since we are not permitted to drill in the US because of US Government policies, expect to see large price increases in everything. Recall that plastic is made from oil. Astute leaders look to the future needs of a country. Our leaders are ideologs presently embracing green energy. Perhaps sometime self preservation will prevail. It is called energy independence.

Classic Muslim phone prank.
HAHAHAHA....ROFL....
All the more reason to see what they are saying, know the enemy.
Most everything Will Smith does is good. And when he’s funny, HE’S FUNNY.
Thanks Messiah.
Look for Russia's fingers being in on this, deep in the background. They have MUCH to gain from higher oil prices, they have a relationship with Iran, and they have experience in destabilizing regimes.

Normally Joe, I would agree with ya. With Obama running the country, I’m not so sure this is going to be a good thing ...
