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

BING!!! Dead nuts.
Will the Messiah send a bunch of helicopters to crash in the desert in a botched rescue attempt as Jimmy Carter did, too?
The possibilities for deja vu are endless :(
Just pointing out what the source is.

If Reagan were President they wouldn’t have the nerve to do this. I chuckled when I read that about Food Insurance but it was a panic laugh.
What a turkey.
“God i wish Reagan were President. Obama is going to wet his pants and do NOTHING while oil goes to $300 and the world we know is utterly destroyed.”
Maybe we need to stop being hypocrites. We climb in bed with every dictator that comes along and then complain when we get a rash. If we are for democracy, that is what we need to support. Let oil do what it wants, it has anyway in the last few years regardless of what supply/demand is.
Oh I know I didn’t mean to sound harsh.
If we dont do it, the Russians or the Chinese will.
Uh, ok. I might agree if WE ourselves let our oil companies "do what they want", meaning drill anywhere in America without restriction. But they are barred. So we must project power. And Arab "democracy"? Does not exist. Iraq is still on probation, so sorry that does not count.
Hello this is Bart Simpson. Hello? Hello is anybody there?
End game if true.
We will have the entire ME against the US, and no oil.
Also, our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan would be in deep trouble. Now way home.
Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, ect.
But the money and organization came from somewhere.
Thank goodness Obama has a plan for Solar and Wind energy eh? /s
Obama, seeking to out do Jimmah Carters Iranian legacy?
Russia also has a lot to loose from these revolutions. They don’t want an even more unstable ME on their door step.
How old is that picture? I just saw $3.55 for regular - $3.99 for Supreme - at a San Jose, Calif. gas station.
Bwahaha
