Protests in a totalitarian state like Saudi Arabia are new. The Arab rulers are frightened. They don’t know which of them will be the next target of popular protest.

Osamma’s newest plan to take over the middle east and turn it into an izzie empire run by him.

Possibly they’re getting that zero can’t stand with the muslims if things get ugly if he’s not in office?

They’re having to move up their timing.

deadly floods swept through Saudi Arabia's second biggest city

I didn't realize that area was subject to floods, except for one particularly big flood some time ago.

Celente’s predictions are coming true.

Carp! My husband is in Jeddah. And of course he didn’t tell me about the flooding, only that it rained and he couldn’t play tennis and the internet news sites were blocked...before he completely lost the internet. I only hear about the bad stuff years after the fact, like the Indonesian military repelling from helicopters outside his hotel window. I don’t worry. I just keep well stocked with wine.

I think a good deal of western Euro can be put in red also. The UK and France are ball-less when it comes to keeping them out. They let them in by the millions. WE are filling Michigan up with them, so might as well put it on there in red also.

Too bad the American right won't take to the streets. Polite rallies highlighted by low litter rates do not a revolution make.

What did he say? Did he say it was due to food inflation thanks to The Ben Bernank/Obama’s dollar printing presses causing global inflation?

Also Hussein is a Muslim Brother dupe and their are MB moles throughout the US govt, intel and military. Keep watching Obama TV serfs - he appreciates your viewership and brainwashing in HD.

Great graphic.

Calls to mind the comment about “Islam’s bloody borders”....

Sad part is that though we import more than 1/2 our oil, only half that comes from the Middle East. If we could supply even 15% of our own oil we’d cut their cash flow by half or more.

You and me both! I’m reading this article and the only thing I’m hitting on is, “what flood?” In Saudi Arabia?

I read someone else was saying these riots in Tunisia and Egypt started because of the high price of food and high unemployment. I was referring to Celente saying there will be food riots in 2011. The guy is usualy spot on.

This is an opportunity for our government to open discussion on grain and food stuff sales for our farmers.

Instead? They increase food stifling regulations.

America is doomed.

Celente has been predicting these kind of issues.

This is long....but it supports your statement that “America is doomed”.

I have listened to him, he has some thought provoking points.
