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.

When will Soros be arrested? Is he in hiding yet? Wonder how widespread this clean-up will be.

I wonder how many Saudi Royals will flee to their palatial European estates While the purge continutes?

Kind of like self-deportation.

Thank God we have T-Rex as Secretary of State.

Rex Tillerson walked the power corridors of Arabia for decades.

Rex understands the Middle East structure and bonds

They struck at the King without killing him. A thorough review of Saudi transactions following Mandalay Bay might look like the airline shorting before 9/11.

The Bushes were terrorism’s enablers as part of their vision towards globalism

Obama / Clinton / McCain carried out the plan by creating and resourcing ISIS

The power game in Saudi is afoot. Arrests, helicopter crashes. Wow. Their treasury stash is depleting after so many years of low oil prices and the situation is becoming desperate I’d imagine.

Good.

And this is why the Bushes are dissing President Trump.

The plot thickens. They have muttered for ages that it is essential for peace to support this corrupt and terrorist regime in Saudi. They have done it because they benefit from it.

One regime usually replaces another and Trump is hated because he is a threat to the status quo. Next though we have to be concerned he s not creating his own regime for personal gain as well.

I don’t trust anyone and that becomes more firmly entrenched the older I get. The Great One, President Reagan, said to Trust but verify.

Yes, they are absolutely comfortable with innocents in their own country being killed by terrorism because they make money from it and keep and gain power.

And led us into at least one and maybe two proxy wars to protect their buddies in Saudi.

Last I knew, the House of Saud has over 10,000 royals in it. This could take a while...

This is exactly why I say we should have blown the Sows off the map September 12th...

You're far from alone in that sentiment.

” 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."

This is all very true except one very important development. Trump has unlocked America's energy sector. We aren't beholden to them for oil anymore.

“Trump has unlocked America’s energy sector.”

The enabling factor. Cannot be underestimated or discounted.

” Trump has unlocked America’s energy sector. We aren’t beholden to them for oil anymore. “

Good point. But I think Trump would have done something causing this regardless of the oil situation. He has more than one move available and has demonstrated he isn’t afraid to take a punch. My father once joked, never get into a fight with somebody uglier than you. Politically, Trump is the ugliest b*stard in the ring. But he’s OUR b*stard!

Thanks for the ping. As you suggested, I have been following these developments. I hope the new King can thoroughly suppress the radical Islamists.
