Thanks. I have only been following him for about 1 month & I am interested to know if his theories / insight are correct. He thinks things are really going to blow while POTUS is on this trip. Do you know if any of his past predictions have proven to be accurate?

New York Times
OCT. 11, 2001

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said today that New York City would not accept a $10 million charitable donation from a wealthy prince from Saudi Arabia who criticized the American government's policies in the Middle East.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud was one of many foreign visitors who have gone with the mayor to ground zero at the destroyed World Trade Center since the terrorist attacks last month. The prince, who is also the chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, attended a memorial service at the site today, where he handed the mayor a check for $10 million for the Twin Towers Fund, one of various charity funds set up to benefit survivors of the attack.

I’ve only been reading him for about the same length of time, I saw him on Wictor’s and/or Stealth Jeff’s twitters. Or maybe Larry Schweikart. I can’t keep track of anything any more...

So I don’t know his track record. I was surprised by the ending of that twitter thread...

I’m still trying to figure out if he is a good story teller or if he has credible inside contacts. All those guys you listed seem to be on the same page. I’m just hoping the page is from a crime blotter & not a spy novel.

Too many here are not looking at the big picture...so their vision of reality is limited substantially. They only see through the lens of ‘their expectations’ rather than the reality they cannot see is happening or/and being positioned for.

Trump things BIG....they think much too small....so until they get greater vision the complaining and knit-picking will continue and the demorats will make certain they feed them to keep the thinking small.

I’ve been reading Wictor for months, and he’s pretty amazing. Not right on everything, but no one is. And I of course don’t know everything myself! haha

I like the Stealth Jeff guy, he changed from Brian Cates or something like that, @drawandstrike or something similar.

Several of them have a wide store of knowledge, they have links to relevant articles supporting their positions.

Tunnel vision... also people who want to know the truth will be willing to open their minds and find new evidence or facts and will adjust their mentality accordingly. It takes some humility to admit “wow, I was wrong. Now I learned more.” Some would rather insist that “I’m right and you’re wrong and I refuse to see anything that makes me look wrong”.

I decided long ago it’s better to learn than to pretend to be right all the time. More fun, too.

No
The CIA did have information about the WTC attack and they knew it was likely going to be done by aircraft. They also had a window when it was going to take place. They also knew it was related to the same group that attacked the WTC in 93. The problem was new rules created by Clinton because of his corrupted politics didn't allow for communication between the CIA and FBI. The CIA went to the FBI to inform them and was ordered out without hearing the information

Did that looney tune whack job Cynthia McKinney contact the prince and ask him for the money when Rudi turned it down?

Note that Prince Alwaleed has had an apparent falling out of favor.

One major reason was that his strategy to decimate the US Fracking Industry failed as the US has become a net exporter of oil.

Throughout this decade, Prince Alwaleed led OPEC to keep their production high resulting in collapsing prices. He had hoped that collapsing oil prices would cause the nascent US Fracking drillers to go out of business, and they indeed suffered but found ways to stay in business. Now that the US is a net oil exporter, Alwaleed’s leadership is considered a failure.

Note that the Bakken region alone has more than 10 X the proven oil reserves of all of Saudi Arabia.

I used to think Islam could not be reformed. I have since changed my mind, due to what has happened since Trump became president.

4 and 5 imply that Trump is covering for the saudis if they are indeed behind the Vegas shooting. Was that your intention?

The money investors sold off during the night when Trump won the presidency. But the market is bigger than these dweebs and summarily squeezed their short sales, launching the market upwards starting on the morning after Trump’s win.

The surge continues as we speak.

These money investors who may be spooked by alwaleed’s arrest don’t have as much influence over the markets now that homobama is a nobody.
