Hope those thieves in Congress don’t get any ideas...
Was someone upstairs in the Saudi-owned Four Seasons, on top of the Mandalay Bay supposed to get knocked off, but didn’t..?
it is obvious we are seeing a major power struggle unfold in Saudi Arabia.
I think it’s possible part of that struggle occurred outside of Saudi Arabia.
Were I a Saudi Prince, I would avoid riding on a helicopter with other Princes.
Their economy is floundering due to the drop in oil prices. They are attempting to infuse the economy with the wealth of the princes. It reminds me of the scheme by the 0bama administration to confiscate the wealth of middle class Americans by taking over their IRAs and paying them a monthly stipend in return, thus ensuring them a steady income for the rest of their lives should the market falter and wipe out their private retirement packages. Fortunately, it didn’t get off the drawing board.
Hmmm. If we did that to corrupt politicians here we could balance the budget for decades...
...just sayin’
talk about playing hardball. this new crown prince is taking some big steps
What's old is new again.
Couple reasons he’s doing this:
* Seize it and use it for the people helps him fund his budget in light of declining prices of oil. Especially if they may need to go to war with Iran.
* Fighting corruption is an excuse to purge potential rivals.
* It creates vacancies to put in his younger, similarly opinionated friends and family.
* Fighting corruption and decreasing the number of “princes” is good public relations in a nation where people are frustrated with the growing number of unaccountable nobles.
This is supposedly the BIG PURSE that was funding ISIS and terrorism around the world.
I didn’t know the Clintons had that much money squirreled away!
