Fingers crossed. This will be earth shaking if it bears out.
I can’t get a secure connection to that - can you copy?
I can’t remember if this article is up on FR or not, it’s good. I’d search and post it if I had time...I’ll copy a few important bits.

What the heck is happening in Saudi Arabia explained
US SHOULD SUPPORT SAUDI CROWN PRINCES PRO-AMERICA REFORMS.
Over the past few months, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) who is heir to the throne and effectively rules the country for his elderly father, King Salman has repeatedly shaken up the status quo, challenging the Salafist-extremist elements in Saudi Arabia.
In late October, he called for a more moderate, open Islam in his country, essentially ending the ancient pact between Saudi Wahhabist clerics and the ruling class.
In his battle against fundamentalist forces, bin Salman stripped Saudi Arabias infamously brutal Haia religious police of its powers. He also lifted the de facto ban on women driving and liberalized other long-observed customs, enraging fundamentalist factions in the country.
Recognizing that an economy wholly reliant on fossil fuel revenues is not sustainable, he has pushed for a modernized economy that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship, and outside investment. The Salafists, on the other hand, prefer a system of government handouts that allows them to not gain employment and instead preach radical Islamic doctrines.
The most recognizable person swept up in the crackdown is billionaire prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a major investor in Citigroup and Twitter. In 2005, bin Talal also donated $20 million to Georgetown University in creating a pro-Muslim Brotherhood outpost at the school (the “Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding”).
The international spread of Wahhabism has plagued U.S. institutions for decades. Rogue members of the royal family have clandestinely supported international terrorist organizations that seek holy war against America.
I will check it out, thank you, too much going on to keep track at all. What does ICYMI mean?
Thanks. Thread BUMP!
In case you missed it
Searched FR: Nothing matched your criteria.
WINNING!
Whats up here I wonder? Are the Saudis ridding themselves of jihadis or are they ridding themselves of those who support social change?
Not from here. Maybe later tonight.
Thanks for the updates, your work is appreciated.
As you indicateFred,looks like the House of Saud is now willing to bring Islam into the modern era. The most recent shot heard round the world is when the Saudis used a US intercept system to take down that incoming Yemeni SCUD missile over the Riyadh Airport.
A new order is attempting to manifest, they “mustaffa” listened to President Trump when he spoke to that Assembly of Arab leaders recently.
Thanks for the briefing, it has a lot of us sitting up and taking notice.
Thank you so much for posting! How do you find those thread readers? I can barely make sense of regular twitter threads

My prayer:
Dear Father in heaven, we pray that all evil that has been done in the dark will be revealed and finally finally justice will be served ! In Jesus name Amen
I think our swamp was in large part funded by SAs swamp
So f their swamp gets drained, ours will too..
Now to just get Soros while we are at it.
Read this, Candor, I posted parts, check the whole article. Totally goes along with everything else I’ve read. It’s good. We should not forget that Trump visited SA right after he became president and what happened there.

I will try to post it tomorrow. I don’t have enough time or energy to do 1/4 the things I want to do.
I never thought Islam could be reformed. Now, I do.
Trump is amazing. He and MBS have definitely been working together.
Months before Trump's May trip to Saudi Arabia, he was already having meetings with "MBS".
Now my interest is perked.
That’s very interesting. MBS is only 32 years old, and apparently the actual king is very old and basically letting him be the king. MBS was sitting in cabinet meetings when he was 12.
