What I find so interesting is that all this has been going on between Trump and MBS and even we on FR didn’t really hear about it or realize the significance of their friendship/ alliance. Trump definitely can keep stuff quiet and under the radar when he wants to.

“Not sure if this is posted in this thread but I’ve been doing some reading tonight on Saudi Arabia and one of the first foreign visitors to the White House after Trump was inaugurated was...Mohammed bin Salmon!

Months before Trump’s May trip to Saudi Arabia, he was already having meetings with “MBS”.”

Prince Mohammed bin Salman Aims to Rebrand Saudi Arabia

‘...”We are returning to what we were before — a country of moderate Islam that is open to all religions and to the world,” he said on Oct. 24 before some 3,500 delegates from around the world. “We will not spend the next 30 years of our lives dealing with destructive ideas. We will destroy them today.” ...’

How do you find those thread readers?

First of all, I am not that familiar with twitter. I don't have an account, but merely read people's pages, so I'm no expert.

Apparently, you can send long twitter threads to a twitter service & they will send it back in the tread reader form. The thread readers are usually at the end of a long thread on the original twitter page.

Also, I would like to point out that I am not 100% confident that this "iperator_rex3" guy is accurate. He has been on to things in the past & does seem to have very good insight & contacts. We shall see. I am hoping as you are, that he is correct.

Here you go:

1. Will Hillary Clinton be indicted? Of course she will. As will Bill Clinton, Eric Holder & the Podestas. And many others.

2. Jailed? Maybe not Bill, but the others? Almost certainly.

3. And when it happens, everyone will be shocked by the crime that these people have committed.

4. These are the worst crimes committed in American history, because they almost destroyed the government.

5. If the Clintons had won the keys to the WH, America was going down. That’s how serious this is.

6. The strange thing, however, is that when this all goes down, anyone with a functioning synapse won’t be surprised at how it happened.

7. In fact, most people will go ‘yeah, now I look at it, it was obvious from the very start.’ Let me explain.

8. First, what follows won’t be any surprise to the relevant authorities, esp Trump & Sessions.

9. As @drawandstrike & @ThomasWictor have been saying for some time (and yours truly), they’re WAY ahead of us and the MSM.

10. And it’s too late for the key targets, esp the Clintons, to stop what’s coming.

11. It’s now just a question of how to round the targets up, without causing too much disturbance, or threatening public safety.

12. So - let’s try and separate ourselves from the feverish speculation that’s swirling around and just look at some basic facts.

13. My thread yesterday showed Trump has prepared the ground for a massive anti-corruption drive, headed by Christopher Wray at the FBI.

14. Wray’s going to focus on white collar crime, in particular money laundering, bribery, racketeering, fraud and government corruption.

15. Jeff Sessions, who has been most unfairly smeared, will lead the prosecutions at DOJ. These will likely last for a number of years.

16. Think of an American Nuremberg trial & you’ll get the drift of how huge this will be. Painful, but necessary.

17. Many will be indicted. Anyone who has engaged in criminal activity will be targeted. On both sides of the aisle, but mostly Democrat.

18. However, there’s no doubt about it - the Clinton network is target #1.

19. #TheStorm has already started. You will have seen the massive corruption purge in Saudi Arabia.

20. Many of those targeted, esp Alaweed, are linked to the Clintons & the CF, so IMO it’s definitely linked to whats coming in the US.

21. Much of the focus will be on the Clinton’s money laundering schemes.

22. Let’s try and get ahead of the game and understand what they’ve been up to.

23. Many people associate money laundering with dodgy drug traffickers and pallets of cash. Pablo Escobar, NARCOs etc.

24. The cash is ‘cleaned’, via legitimate organizations often owned by the crooks, eg banks. All to a Scorcese script.

25. But money laundering doesn’t have to be that dramatic, to be just as criminal. The most effective schemes are often quite boring.

26. So, take the U1 scandal. @drawandstrike has correctly that Sessions has been investigating this in the shadows for some time.

27. We know that some $145 million in donations were made to the CF during the period where CFIUS approved the sale of U1.

28. We also know that the sale gave Putin, via Rosatom, access to US uranium & the ability to export it into his distribution networks.

29. Even a 10 year old kid could see that this outcome is an obvious threat to US security interests. There’s just no argument about it.

30. We ALSO know that Hillary Clinton knew this would happen. Anyone who denies this now is lying, mostly to themselves.

31. She led the Russian reset, knew about FBI investigation into Tenam’s illegal activities & was fully aware that Putin was enemy #1.

32. Clinton knew full well what Putin was up to & how important U1 was to him. Yet she never disclosed this to CFIUS, or nixed the sale.

33. Or told anyone about the $145 million donations that had been made to the CF by U1 people.

34. IMO, Eric Holder also knew. His job was to shut down any investigations that may compromise what the Clintons were doing.

35. And to threaten and intimidate possible witnesses. I suspect we will learn that he profited from it handsomely, as well.

36. Back to the $ 145 million pay day. How did the money laundering scheme work?

37. The ‘donations’ weren’t made direct to the CF in the USA. Most were made to the Canadian ‘charity’, the CGEP.

38. That would be the (Bill) Clinton & (Frank) Giustra Enterprise Partnership. Both CF board members. But why to a Canadian ‘charity’?

39.B/C in Canada, charities don’t have to disclose the identity of donors, or $ value of ‘donations’, to the government.In the US they do.

40. The ‘charity’ then ‘donates’ to the CF. The US authorities could only ID the Canadian charity, not the original donors.

41. See how these crooks work? The dodgy money becomes legit as it is laundered along the way, ending up in the CF.

42. Once the $ are in the CF, it is diverted to the Clintons via expenses such as first class travel, /...

43./..personal expenses (eg Chelsea Clintons wedding) & into their back pockets. With a lot of tax avoided (illegally) along the way.

44. It’s no surprise that Bill Clinton used Marc Rich’s services when he first set up the CF.

45. Clinton famously pardoned Rich for what crimes?

46. Oh yeah, that’s right. Money laundering, income tax evasion, wire fraud & racketeering.

47. Note - Hillary & Bills money laundering schemes are NOT news. Many talented reporters were onto these crimes years ago.

48. BUT they’ve never been investigated properly. Again, we will find out why & who was protecting the Clintons in due course.

49. And U1 is just one example (of many) of the Clintons using the CF & State Dept to launder money, using ‘pay for play’ schemes.

50. It gets worse. The Clintons didn’t just use the CF to enrich themselves to the detriment of the US.

51. I suspect we will also learn about how they used the DNC & other front organizations (eg law firms) to do it.

52. With the DNC, I’m certain the vile Donna Brazile has flipped. And the Sanders people won’t hold back helping the authorities, either.

53. They suspected Clinton was using the DNC to launder money some time ago, see
Politico Exposes Clinton Campaign ‘Money-Laundering’ Scheme
“You cannot exploit a broken campaign finance system one day and vow to get big money out of politics the next.”
https://berniesanders.com/press-release/politico-exposes-clinton-campaign-money-laundering-scheme/

54. That is just the money laundering aspect. There are many other crimes the Clintons have committed. We don’t know the half of it.

55. My point is that we need to get real. It’s obvious to me where things are heading & it’s all aimed at the Clintons & their cronies.

56. America has become very ill because of these criminals. They need to be brought to justice if any recovery can happen.

57. What they did was rotting the heart of the Republic. Literally destroying America. There’s no other way to describe it, is there?

58. By now, I’m pretty sure the Clintons have been told what’s going to happen. They need to get their affairs in order.

59. They also need to put in place measures to protect Chelsea & her family. I think she is innocent.

60. Her life will be unbearable, though. The betrayal is immense.

61. They’ll then be indicted and arrested. On Nov 8, I’d say. But it doesn’t really matter. It’s inevitable.

62. And then the Clintons need to make some form of peace with God. Because America will never forgive them for what they’ve done.

63.Have no fear. One man saw it early & knows what to do : Donald J Trump. And as he’s promised, he’s not going to let us down.

64. The end.

65. Good article linking Saudi developments with what’s about to happen in USA

There are a lot of very misleading video's on youtube. "Truthers" that are very wrong about 9/11.
They intentionally leave out key points. I can list some of them I noticed they leave out if you're interested.

Remember Obama was put through collage from Waleed Bin Talal money. They go way back. This guy was a key corruption supporter of the DNC.

President Trump made an impression.

The snivelling bowing sleeze Obama was treated like the dog he is by the Saudis, whicih is why Obama made deals with Iran...Obama the liberal fascist sought revenge against the Saudis.

The Trump purge of Saudi Arabia begins, the rats will jump ship or die.

The jihad is about to come to a grinding halt.

Now Iran must join the civilized world or be destroyed.

Thank you President Trump!

Sure, I’m happy to hear some counter side. Of course, there are lots of bad videos out there and so many theories that some of them have to be wrong.

Thanks little jeremiah. Yes I clearly remember President Trump addressing an assembly of Arab leaders.

******************************************

A quote from that speech:( May21st, 2017 )

I want to thank King Salman for his extraordinary words, and the magnificent Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for hosting today’s summit. I am honored to be received by such gracious hosts. I have always heard about the splendor of your country and the kindness of your citizens, but words do not do justice to the grandeur of this remarkable place and the incredible hospitality you have shown us from the moment we arrived.

You also hosted me in the treasured home of King Abdulaziz, the founder of the Kingdom who united your great people. Working alongside another beloved leader – American President Franklin Roosevelt – King Abdulaziz began the enduring partnership between our two countries. King Salman: your father would be so proud to see that you are continuing his legacy – and just as he opened the first chapter in our partnership, today we begin a new chapter that will bring lasting benefits to our citizens.

<—>.

I stand before you as a representative of the American People, to deliver a message of friendship and hope. That is why I chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the Muslim world, to the nation that serves as custodian of the two holiest sites in the Islamic Faith.

<—>

Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God.

********************

We posted President Trump’s speech here last May:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3553968/posts

Obviously a very effective speech according to what is happenning now in Saudi Arabia.

I wonder what will happen as a result of the Asia trip now?
There is a good chance that both North Korea and Iran are about to have their asses handed to them by the world.

I see the deft hand of Rex Tillerson behind much of this.

In a way this is somewhat similar to Iran all over again where we had the choice of supporting the mullahs or the shah. (Jimmy Carter was far more corrupt than we ever knew)We made the wrong move then lets hope we do it right this time.

My guess is that Trump will gather incriminating evidence on everyone he can in the deep state and then either blackmail them or jail them.One thing he can’t do is come down on everyone all at once the criminality is too big.

Very true. However here is obamas problem.He needs to be loyal to the demoncrat party, the Russians,cabal,and those who pout him through college. Sooner or later the crossover will be too much for him and he will go wherever the most power to protect him lies.

In a way zero will have the same problem hillary has. He will have been so greedy he will have hit up everyone possible for favors,money and will eventually be over-compromised. The SHTF at that point.
