Bannon said a driving force behind the transformation of Saudi Arabia and other major events in the Middle East is the recognition by many regional powers that “President Trump and the United States of America have had enough of it and are just not going to tolerate anymore this financing, the exporting of radical Islamic terror into Western Europe and the United States.”
He recalled Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s giving a landmark speech several years ago about “how Islam had to reform itself internally to Islam, just like Christianity went through a huge reformation.”

“One the things that you’ve seen at the summit President Trump had in the spring is that the United States is not prepared to tolerate any more people in the Middle East financing the exporting of radical Islamic terrorism into Western Europe in the United States. I think you’re seeing some of the leaders over there take active control of this,” he proposed.

“And I’ve got to tell you, for all the elites out in the world, the Party of Davos guys are sitting there today gobsmacked, absolutely shocked,” he said. “The largest financier in the Arab world, the Muslim world, is Prince Alwaleed.

“People are stunned today that he was put under house arrest, put under arrest yesterday in Saudi Arabia, in this situation of what they called corruption, money laundering, et cetera. People are thinking this is directly tied to the financing of the Muslim Brotherhood, this whole thing about cleaning up Saudi Arabia to take care of this. You’re going to see a lot of changes. This thing is far, far from over. You’re at the top of the first inning. You’re probably at the first batter,” Bannon said.

Boom goes the dynamite!
The world has changed.
DavosMan has to sell their yachts and high-end bunkers.
Figure this is pretty much a coup underway in Saudi Arabia. Too back we can’t get them to all kill each other off.
I don’t watch the MSM anymore; have they been covering these developments?
Or are they too busy analyzing Trump’s Koi-feeding methods?
” Too back we can’t get them to all kill each other off.”
The reason that every president, with the exception of Obama, has backed Saudi Arabia’s government, is...whatever replaces it will make the Iranian regime look moderate by comparison. Saudi Arabia has no rule of law. They represent what governments looked like 1400 years ago. However, those in power there want to continue in power as the alternative, for them, is death. Therefore, with Trump’s encouragement, they are dragging Saudi Arabia in the direction of the Twenty-first century. Other president’s could have accomplished this, but instead continued preaching the myth that Islam was a peaceful religion. I am sure that all presidents, with the exception of Carter, understood the reality of what Islam is.
Winning feels good.
Thank-od for Trump
Was the Mandalay Massacre an abortive attempt on the life of this saudi reformer..?
Was something supposed to occur at the Four Seasons upstairs which did not end up occurring..?
Go President Trump!
This has his fingerprints all over it!
Koi?
All your fishes are belong to us!
After 9-11, the Wall Street Journal investigated just who's funding all the mosque's and madrassas here in the United States. Guess who they said was doing it?
Yep, none other than the Saudi Royal Family. It was all Saudi money in every single mosque and madrassa across the country and in large swaths of Europe.
Not only did the Saudi royal family fund the building and ongoing operations of each mosque and madrassa, they controlled the curriculum too. Guess which curriculum it was? Radical Wahhabism.
The Saudi's have effectively exported terrorism outside their own country in an effort to eradicate it from their own. They've been doing it for decades, it accelerated post 9-11 in an "effort" to keep OBL out of Saudi Arabia.
That's not me saying it, that was the Wall Street Journal post 9-11.
While I wish I could find the original article again online, here's the text of an Op-Ed published in the WSJ in October of 2003 which effectively says much the same thing. I saved it and found it in my archives:
"Al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia"
Wall Street Journal
November 10, 2003
By KHALED ABOU EL FADL
The religious extremists who form al Qaeda and similar terrorist groups are a threat not only to the U.S., but also other parts of the world -- including Saudi Arabia. Since Sept. 11, there have been numerous reports that funding coming from Saudi Arabia has been used to finance religious schools and other activities that are alleged to support the kind of intolerance practiced by Islamic militants world-wide. The Saudis have denied these allegations, and the U.S. has praised the Saudi government for its cooperation in the war on terror. Yet a recent Time magazine cover story rightly questioned whether the Saudi brand of Islam is compatible with that war. Saturday's attacks in Riyadh only make that question more urgent, and piquant.
The Saudis fund mosques, university chairs, Islamic study centers, and religious schools known as madrassas, all over the world, from New York to Nigeria. During the Afghan war against the Soviets, madrassas emerged in Pakistan that were concerned less with scholarship than with war on infidels. They provided ideological training for those who went to fight in Kashmir, Chechnya, and Afghanistan -- and many still do. The peaceful propagation of religious beliefs, including Islam, is a human right. But the concern is that the Saudi government may be propagating an Islam that promotes violence against non-Muslims and disfavored Muslims. The line separating the brand of Islam allegedly preached by the Saudis from the violence of radicals is a fine one. Just how one moves across this line warrants investigation.
After Sept. 11, Saudi leaders admitted that up to 10% of their curriculum contained objectionable material, including hatred of other religious groups, and vowed to address the issue. Yet there has been no examination of the extent to which these materials are found in Saudi-funded religious schools and mosques outside the Kingdom -- including Islamic religious literature available in U.S. prisons and the U.S. armed forces.
In an effort to provide answers, the Commission on International Religious Freedom, a bipartisan, independent federal agency, has recommended that Congress fund a study to determine whether and how -- and the extent to which -- the Saudi government, members of the royal family, or Saudi-funded individuals or institutions, are propagating globally, including in America, a religious ideology that explicitly promotes hate and violence toward members of other religious groups. What we seek are facts -- whether they vindicate or implicate Saudi Arabia. In undertaking such a study, the U.S. should first request that the Saudis provide an account of the religious institutions they fund in America. The study should then commission experts to survey literature found in Saudi-funded religious schools; speak to Muslims who frequent Saudi-funded mosques; analyze Saudi-funded pamphlets, newsletters, radio, and TV; interview officials in countries where intolerant materials have been identified; and call on Saudi officials to account for the religious materials it exports. Findings should be reported to Congress.
The Saudi foreign minister has acknowledged that it is possible individual Saudis have funded Wahhabi schools abroad, and has said that he would welcome information about this funding, now considered a crime in Saudi Arabia. The study we have proposed would not only help fulfill his request, but would also reveal whether or not his government is involved. In the age of global terrorism, the U.S. should be concerned when there are credible allegations that Saudi Arabia is propagating globally a brand of Islam that is not only incompatible with the war against terrorism, but may well be promoting it.
Mr. El Fadl, a law professor at Yale, is on the Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Thanks, fascinating! Last I knew, House of Saud had over 10,000 royals in it. This might take a while.
Bannon said a driving force behind the transformation of Saudi Arabia and other major events in the Middle East is the recognition by many regional powers that “President Trump and the United States of America have had enough of it and are just not going to tolerate anymore this financing, the exporting of radical Islamic terror into Western Europe and the United States.”

Go Trump go!
My notion is that our crooked politicians have encouraged Muslim misbehavior for decades.
Assassination by crowd cover?
