There is something nonrandom about seemingly unconnected events in the past 36 hours in Saudi Arabia. https://t.co/KybNAtTdTF— NassimNicholasTaleb (@nntaleb) November 5, 2017

Saudi Princes, Former Ministers Arrested in Apparent Power Consolidation
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 4, 2017 | Margherita Stancati in Beirut, Summer Said in Dubai and Maureen Farrell in New York
Posted on 11/4/2017, 5:10:22 PM by Eddie01

Saudi authorities carried out a new wave of arrests targeting royals and former cabinet ministers, people familiar with the matter said, a move that appears intended to further consolidate power in the hands of the Saudi leadership at a time of political transition.

At least 10 princes and more than two dozen former ministers were detained by Saudi authorities on Saturday night, according to people familiar with the matter. It was unclear if charges were filed.

And Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal also arrested, paid for Obozos college, has fingers in media, banks, one of richest in world, also surely connected to Clinton foundation, laundering money. Rumor that some of the princes connected to child trafficking pedophile network. Also coincidence Trump tweets supporting Saudis yesterday? https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/926793510723796993

Yes. A missile heading for Riyadh airport.

Then all hell broke loose shortly after.

Rashes near the border of Yemen.

When the helicopter is hit with a missile, Inguess you can still say it crashed -technically.

Yemen rebels firing a missile at the Saudi capital...Yesterday...might just be a coincidental coincidence.

The media is reporting the coup/pogram in SA, but not condemning it. Interesting confirmation of who their masters are.

The population of Saudi Arabia is approximately 33 million. Of that approximately 17 million are princes.

Trump may have shared some intel with his Saudi allies that started this anti coup.

We are seeing unfold a HUGE VICTORY for the USA brought about by President Donald J. Trump. It stems directly from his first foreign venture as President, the great summit in Saudi Arabia with 50 heads of state.

The key was in Maria Bartiromo’s interview Friday. They are reverting to the moderate, more-modern Islam than existed prior to 1979. They are PURGING the LUNATICS.

President Trump is doing what was thought impossible: WINNING THE WAR AGAINST RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

Radical Iran will be finished too, by the time he leaves office in January 2025.
