SA is responsible for 911.

Ben Shapiro did a very interesting report on this intra-family coup a day or two ago (I think it was episode 411 of his daily show).

[caww]

Article reads......”it appears that Saudi Arabia has a government, thanks to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s weekend purge of the royal family. It is probably the only political event in recent memory that has the support of Washington, Moscow and Beijing, not to mention Berlin, London, Paris and Tokyo — as well as Jerusalem.”......

Indeed....

Saudi Arabia owns the top four floors of the Mandalay Bay.

was something ELSE supposed to take place that night of the concert mass shooting..?

was the shooting intended as a diversion for something else that didn’t go off..?

Did part of a Saudi struggle for power take place in the USA..?

The Saudi “Puge” is just the completion of “Phase One”....more to follow......

In any type of fair press this would be getting huge news. This is a sea change in both foreign policy and the war on terrorism. Trump has virtually wiped out the export of terrorism. It took him only 8 months to do what no other US President tried to do. T

IMO, that is Salman in the photo. He is under protection of a pretty major force and he appears to be in disguise...making him appear a bit plumper than he actually is. Wearing a prepared vest that adds a paunch is an excellent way to disguise someone who is lean and fit.

" Hezbollah, which threatens Israel with a stockpile of more than 100,000 missiles"

Who paid for that?

Where were they manufactured?

Should war break out, the Jerusalem Post quoted Gallant, Israel “will bring Lebanon back to the stone age.”

How will we tell the difference? :)

Great they got their first real government. In 200 years maybe they’ll have the level of corruption in their government that we have in ours.....

Now it appears that Saudi Arabia has a government

Well no, not really...it appears Saudi Arabia has a strongman who has purged his rivals and will undoubtedly ensure that the line of succession will go only through him, rather than through any of the other descendants of Ibn al Saud.

However, a strongman/king is exactly what Saudi Arabia needs right now. Muhammad bin Salman seems like a pretty modern guy, and while it's far too early to say that he could be his nation's Ataturk, the things he's said so far are promising.

I asked our Chinese hosts why they didn’t remonstrate with the Saudi government. The Chinese official said, “We talk to the Saudis all the time, and they say they will have nothing to do with it. But this is not a government. It is a family! Some crazy cousin is always sending money to terrorists through informal finance channels.”

I'm guessing it's the same way the Saud's funded 9/11 ... 'out' family members funding bin Laden
