There's An Unconfirmed Report Going Around That Saudi King Abdullah Has Died
The Business Insider ^ | 02/10/2011 | Joe Weisenthal

This just hit the internet, and we don't know if it's true.

It's on IslamTimes, and frankly it doesn't read credibly because it ties his death to discussions about Egypt.

Needless to say, were it true, it would only further concerns about Mideast stability at an already fragile time.

Oil prices originally jumped on the news, but then that faded, perhaps indicating the market's disbelief in the rumor.

Wikipedia (Yes, I know):

King Abdullah is 86 this year, but his half brother and designated successor, Crown Prince Sultan, is 82. The apparent next in line is Sultan’s full brother, Prince Nayef[38]

In 2006, Abdullah set up the Allegiance Council, a body that is composed of the sons and grandsons of Saudi Arabia’s founder, King Abdulaziz, to vote by a secret ballot to choose future kings and crown princes. The council’s mandate will not start until after the reigns of Abdullah and Sultan are over. It is not clear, however, what would happen if Sultan were to die before the end of Abdullah’s reign, leaving a question as to whether the council would vote for a new crown prince or whether Nayef would automatically fill that position.[39]

The White House, 3 am, this morning; Ears: “Is that damn phone ringing again? Get some one out here to disconnect that ^)(&)*& thing - I’ve got a tee time at 9, for crying out loud.”

There's only way to know for sure. How's the flag at the White House flying?


Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

En Lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Perhaps a harbinger of the King’s demise would be a round up of goats for sacrifice.

That's the one. Thanks for posting the link.

Here's the key quote: "...introduced to him by a friend who's raising money for him. The friend's name is Dr. Khalid al Mansour."

Sutton knows Khalid Mansour from way back to the 60s, when they were both lawyers for the Black Panther and Malcom X crowd. For the scope on Khalid Mansour's Saudi ties (beyond beyond Sutton's description of "principle adviser to one the world's richest man") here are some links:

Thanks!
So much to research and document!
It’s becoming an information overload............which is one reason the general “sheeple” don’t care a wit about this stuff ;-)

Bread and Circuses, as long as there is a Super Bowl and McDonald’s (etc.) most of them won’t notice.........
