Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, Vocal Trump-Hater, Arrested for Corruption
People's Pundit Daily ^ | November 4, 2017 | Staff

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a bitter and vocal rival of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, has been arrested in the royal family’s sweeping anti-corruption crackdown. Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz has arrested and removed a slew of corrupt and prominent officials, including dozens of princes and former ministers.

Al Arabiya, a Saudi state-run news outlet, reported bin Talal was among those arrested. People’s Pundit Daily (PPD) confirmed he was one of at least 11 princes arrested.

The billionaire chairman of Kingdom Holding Co. was once a business associate of President Trump. But his “America First” platform was a direct threat to the less reputable members of the Saudi royal family and the two engaged in a very public feud.

During the Republican nomination, Prince Alwaleed took to Twitter to call the then-frontrunner and billionaire real estate mogul a “disgrace” in a tweet in response to him calling for a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration to the U.S. He called on him to drop out of the race and proclaimed that he would never win.....

“The billionaire Chairman of Kingdom Holding Company...”

Isn't that the company that owns 47.5% of the Four Seasons? Which owns the top four or so floors of the Mandalay Bay?

James Brower reported it on twitter. He worked in the Trump administration briefly and has been always right in the past.

This week:

1. Mueller Indicts Monoford for not registering as a foreign lobbyist.

2. The Podestas dissolve their lobbying group shortly after.

3. Saudis with a broad influence in the US are being arrested on corruption charges.

US lobbyists now must obey a long ignored law and register with the government, but if they register as lobbyists for Saudi Arabia, they will probably be investigated and crimes will be exposed. So how many lobbyists/politicians in the US will be caught up in the Saudi corruption?

I guess prince allah-weed found out the hard way — you can’t stump the Trump.

Laura Loomer tweeted earlier in the day about Anthony Weiner going to the pokey on Monday and that Huma Abedin would be indicted on Monday

I don't know who Laura Loomer is, but I really like the sound of that. Could we be witnessing a web of corruption coming apart that is so huge, even the Deep State can't stop it?

I'm almost afraid to hope, for fear of jinxing it.

Not only the princes. The dau of a large calif avocado grower was to marry the CFO of KH next month. He’s waiting for a knock on the door. Other staff, too.

scuttle butt is the Ritz was evacuated of patrons and the princes and many staff are now under house arrest there.

Please see post #41 above.

Am I wrong about KH? I seem to remember it from a Las Vegas shooting post.

Trump’s early visit to SA is paying dividends.

has been trending on Twitter a few days now. It looks like a staged pre emptive counter coup similar to the one in Turkey.

MbS is fast trying to take control, kicking out competing tribes. There is big opposition among the other tribes. Anything can happen.

Might be true:

Saad al-Hariri’s resignation from Saudi Arabia was imposed on him by al-Saud to cover the arrests and coup in Saud
And Yemeni shelling

So the dust is far from settling? What are the chances that MbS’s domestic enemies, Qatari, and Iranians would link up to oppose him?

MbS probably started the war in Yemen to unite the Saudis around him and the same with the increased Sunni-Shiia (Iran) conflict. The Saudi conflict with Qatar have two main ingredients: Who is the right Wahhabi the Saudi Royals or the Qatari Emir and the Qatari assets ($300+billions).

The Saudi tribes will not link up with the above and would probably support MbS if he grabs the Qatari money (compare Saddam and Kuwait)

The oil price https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/CO1:COM more likely 70 than 50. This is good news to the US oil indutry that quickly will lock in prices for deliveries. Then we will have a drop in the oil price. But, it is difficult to get the timing right on this,

They have thousands. Last time I hear it was over 3000 and that was in the 90s. There’s no queen.
