Prince warns S. Arabia of apocalypse
Press TV ^ | 1/30/2011 | Staff

Posted on 01/29/2011 1:45:18 PM PST by FromLori

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

Sure there is if you really want to see it. You can click on the links for example and follow the stories or Google the claims like I did...

“Dozens of protesters have been arrested in Saudi Arabia’s second biggest city after they protested against the weaknesses of infrastructure of Jeddah.”

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/articles/34/Dozens-of-protesters-arrested-in-Jeddah.html

You can click on you tube on the video itself and on you tube you will see they are in Jeddah it’s in Arabic but Google translates it. That’s what I did to check it out. Then there are links to the Face Book protest page. Otherwise if you don’t want to believe it thats fine by me.

Pssst, most of the Saudi oil is located in the Eastern Province where the majority of the population is Shiite.

Iran is the real wild card here. They might try to take advantage of this as many places as possible. What’s been going on in Lebanon lately? Haven’t seen much with all this Egypt stuff.

Tail wagging dog. Iran doesn't have any money. Saudi's let them do only so much. Saudi's won't give them money to overthrow themselves. Saudi's are Iran's gravy train. They leverage Iran locally to threaten everyone in the region, and use their money locally and elsewhere to spread Wahabbism. Iran is the spear-tip, not what propels the spear-tip.

Now here's the Reagan tactic to put a check on this and all the runaway oil speculators set to profit off everyone else's misery:

Executive Order # 1 for next Republican President elected in 2012.

AMERICA'S NEW ENERGY POLICY: "US oil for US interests."

1. Drill here, drill now, pay less.

2. Build a network of 10-20 regional refineries to add to and replace the mere two or three 35-50 year-old ones we do have.

3. Build 10 regional nuclear reactors to free up all oil- fired electrical energy plant capacity and devote oil to transportation and building heating only.

4. Refuse domestic importation of ME-sourced oil with the exception of from Iraq and Kuwait who can start paying the US back for all the blood spilled for them the liberate the both of them in 1991 and 2003.

5. Develop shale

Do all this with a sense of urgency akin to the Marshall Plan.

Issue new US currncy backed by black gold.

Some one with more than a just a passing appreciation for the politics of oil with some experience breaking up the good ol' boy networks might be an ideal personality for such a Presidential-level task.

FReegards!

Add to your list...

1.) Convert Coal via the Fisher Tropsch Process to JP fuels for our Domestic Airline Fleets and the Military. Shoot for 100% domestic supply ASAP for both customers.
2.) Go big on Shale Gas and use it for the Domestic Tractor Trailor Fleet. I don't know how to entice the industry, but either engine conversions or New Tractors so that the diesel fuel they use could be utilized elsewhere. With the lower pricepoint, it may help keep food inflation down.
3.) By Executive Order, resind the portion of the Carter "Start" Treaty that forbids us from reprocessing our Nuclear Fuel from our reactors. Tell the Soviets to pound sand.
4.)Partner with the Country of India on Thorium Reactor Development.

This is just a start I have many other ideas....

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.


The KGB is behind this. They are using their Muslim Brotherhood operative in the White House, according to an article out of the UK posted on Durdge. “America secretly supports protestors.”

The dominoes are falling and history is repeating itself before our own eyes.


I am not much of a prognosticator, but I look for a charismatic Islamic leader to come forward sometime in the coming days and the dominoes will fall fast then.

"They might try to take advantage of this as many places as possible."

Some rockets out of Gaza and Lebanon would do the trick. A Rab already in the streets...a desire to shift their passions to the fundamentalists.

Too bad for them the arabs are Sunni.

I don't think "Obama is going to wet his pants" over this.

Actually, I think he is rather amused by it.

I believe his personality has been very mischaractorized. Just look at his life, associations and actions....

He is a political arsonist.

NOT TO WORRY! We will be driving electric cars by then.
Every one forgets the Muzzies of the old Soviet Union that have over 1000 nuc missles, many of which can reach the Obamanation. But perhaps they are moderate Muzzies.
