Bannon: ‘The Middle East Is on a Knife Edge in the Last 48 to 72 Hours
Breitbart ^ | John Hayward

Posted on 11/07/2017 4:24:51 AM PST by RoosterRedux

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.”

*snip*

“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.

*snip

“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.

*snip*

“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.

Come out and say. The Bushes tolerated and assisted the status quo in SA. This could explain their recent comments about Trump.

That's the Op-Ed for which I had the text, there's an original piece of investigative reporting that the Wall Street Journal published in either June/July of 2002 or June/July of 2003 that was quite extensive. That's what I'm looking for and am thus far unable to find.

Perhaps my memory has faded too much over time......

This ought to be inspiration for Trump to round up high-level leftist criminals, beginning with BO and HRC.

Okay. But, in their defense, that has been the position of the United States since the formation of the Saudi government. go-along, get-along.

Bush 41 went to KSA just after his presidency on a private flight. He collected mega gifts from the house of saud on that trip. It was one of those stories that was in the news, then went down the memory hole.

I kid you not.

Meanwhile, the UN is sticking its oar in...

Yémen: l'ONU exhorte l'Arabie Saoudite à mettre fin à un blocus "catastrophique"

The UN wants the Saudis to end their blockade. Looks like the Saudis have told to UN to pound sand.

“I don’t watch the MSM anymore; have they been covering these developments?”

One has to read the foreign sources, BBC, German, Japanese and even the Chinese english news to parse what is going on although the picture is far from clear.

American news media is hopelessly mired in some nexus between abject stupidity and childish snot-picking tantrums, e.g., koi feeding.

"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,”

So by extension, those same elites were perfectly comfortable with innocents in their own countries being killed via terrorism as long as the money kept flowing.

I'm sure it has been discussed. Including the deep state vermin.

Yes, corruption in high places exists in more than the US.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13 [KJV])

The working theory is:

Saudi elements hostile to MBS and his reforms were supposed to get some guns in order to knock off MBA upstairs at the Four Seasons.

I think you know The Four Seasons is owned by the Saudis.

The Wahabbi team supporting MBA discovered that their khuffar American gun salesman was an informant:

They did not hit their political MBA target.

The crowd spraying was intended as a police diversion, a very special environment in which the more targeted upstairs killing could occur.

Whoops sorry..!

it should read:

“.. in order to knock off MBS upstairs”, not MBA.

I’m using acronyms for those two two men because their names are long and difficult and I’m talking into my phone.

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

This is exactly why I say we should have blown the Sows off the map September 12th, and left Saddam Hussein et al shaking in their boots...but still in charge.

Instead, all flights were grounded except the one spiriting the guilty as hell Bin Laden family out of the US.

MBA tried to knock off MBS with a crowd diversion for a assassination at the Four Seasons.

the first part of the plan didn’t happen but the second part of the plan, did.

They failed and as a result we are seeing all of these arrests.

Flipped on Fox last night- they were talking about the church massacre.

Flipped on MSNBC next- they were talking about how Donna Brazille was going after Hillary in a Trump/Russion collusion type of way.

Flipped on CNN next- they were talking about Trump’s 38% approval poll, and how he is so incompetent that he is destroying our relations with Asian allies on this trip.

Same ol. Same ol.
