    I wonder what is really going on in Saudi Arabia?

    https://ca.news.yahoo.com/round-saud...--finance.html

    Actual corruption pursuit or clensing of the old guard?

    Seriously, a corrupt muslim prince? Isn't that a given? How could they tell? You know, since rape, murder, theft is all condoned in their book. Maybe corrupt means they don't rape, murder, or steal?

    Some expert was on Glenn Beck earlier saying this new guy may actually be cracking down on a lot of the old guys who don't want to progress into a more tolerant nation. He also said they may be at war with Iran soon.

    I'm sure gas prices would plummet if war broke out between Iran and Saudis.

    Who wins the saudi iran fight????
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....

    Whole region is probably going to look like Raqqa very shortly.

    Got Houthi's/Yemeni's who want SA gone, Hezbollah is heavily involved, SA strong arming Lebanons guy to resign, Iran running it's suck to SA -also concerning use of Hezbollah, purge/murder/jailing of various princes and rich figureheads in the kingdom .


    Other than opium sales out of afghanistan, a majority of the terror groups are funded through a certain kingdoms dirty oil profits to keep the region destabilized so they stay on top.

    Some think it is consolidation of the Royal family to make sure there are
    no pretenders to the throne. And that alone is making some of these other
    groups skiddish and as Helen said the funding.

    "Explosive" Leaked Secret Israeli Cable Confirms Israeli-Saudi Coordination To Provoke War
    The classified embassy cable, written in Hebrew, constitutes the first formal evidence proving that the Saudis and Israelis are deliberately coordinating to escalate the situation in the Middle East.

    “This is more serious than it appears. The arrest of the two sons of previous King Abdullah, Princes Miteb and Turki, was a fatal mistake. This now endangers the King himself. It was only the regard for the King that protected MBS. There are many left in the army against MBS and they are enraged at the arrest of their commanders.”

    SA is the birthplace of radical Islam. Also the country of Osama bin Laden & most of the other moon howlers who attacked us on 9/11/01.

    For years I've heard Democrat shills & RINOs speak of how great an ally they are to the US in the middle east.

    This is like saying Adolf Hitler was a great ally of the Jews in the early 1940's.

    Real Motive Behind Saudi Purge Emerges: $800 Billion In Confiscated Assets
    From the very beginning, there was something off about Sunday's unprecedented countercoup purge unleashed by Mohammad bin Salman on alleged political enemies, including some of Saudi Arabia's richest and most powerful royals and government officials: it was just too brazen to be a simple "power consolidation" move; in fact most commentators were shocked by the sheer audacity, with one question outstanding: why take such a huge gamble? After all, there was little chatter of an imminent coup threat against either the senile Saudi King or the crown prince, MbS, and a crackdown of such proportions would only boost animosity against the current ruling royals further.

    Things gradually started to make sense when it emerged that some $33 billion in oligarch net worth was "at risk" among just the 4 wealthiest arrested Saudis, which included the media-friendly prince Alwaleed.

    'Take That OPEC' - WTI Slides As US Crude Production Jumps To Record High
    WTI/RBOB extended losses post-API data overnight, but DOE data sparked some algo chaos as a surprise crude build (+2.24mm vs -2.45mm exp) was offset by a bigger than expected gasoline draw (exactly opposite what API reported). In addition, US crude production jumped to a new all-time high - take that OPEC!
    API
    Crude -1.562mm (-2.45mm exp)
    Cushing +812k
    Gasoline +520k (-1.85mm exp)
    Distilates-3.133mm

    ADOEPI
    Crude +2.24mm (-2.45mm exp)
    Cushing +720k
    Gasoline -3.31mm (-1.85mm exp)
    Distilates -3.359mm

    Low oil prices are killing opec, and they're all massively in debt. All they have is oil, they produce nothing but oil and jihad, so they're starting to panic. How are they going to fund jihad in the future? Sell sand?

    If US oil production is rising, forcing oil prices down, then why are gasoline prices, at the pump, steadily rising, as they have been for the past 2 months? (Prices just rose $.04 again yesterday.)

    My guess is pure speculation. Speculatas be speculatin, you know.

    Celente – This Event Will Trigger Oil To Spike Over $100 A Barrel In A Matter Of Weeks, Igniting Gold & Cryptocurrencies
    Should the war of words escalate to a war of bombs, oil prices will pierce the $100-per-barrel mark in a matter of weeks, equity markets will decline and investors seeking safe haven assets will drive up both gold and cryptocurrency prices.
    Moreover, higher oil prices will dampen already soft retail sales in western nations prior to the Christmas holiday. In fact, so worried are US retailers that sales and stock prices keep sinking, they are already kicking off Black Friday discount deals.”

    Saudi Arabia Orders Its Citizens To Leave Lebanon Immediately
    Official Source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Saudi nationals visiting or residing in Lebanon are asked to leave the country as soon as possible.
    Riyadh, Safar 20, 1439, November 09, 2017, SPA -- Due to the situations in the Republic of Lebanon, the official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Saudi nationals visiting or residing in Lebanon are asked to leave the country as soon as possible.
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-1...on-immediately

    Prince Mohammed framed the rivalry, which has played out via proxy forces in Syria and Yemen, in theological terms, and said that Tehran’s ultimate aim is to wrest control of Islam’s holiest site in Mecca. “We won’t wait for the battle to be in Saudi Arabia,” he said, without elaborating on policies. “Instead, we will work so that the battle is for them in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia.”
    https://www.thenational.ae/world/sau...to-iran-1.1616

    The sauds consider Lebanon to be hezbollah (means "party of alla" in arabic), hence Iran's proxy. This could give rise to the war that causes their mahdi (moslom messiah aka antichrist possibly Borock Husein 0bama) to arrive on the scene.

    Here in Indiana the price of gas has risen about 50 cents in the last two months. The very honest news media is blaming it on refinery problems. Something about the refineries in Houston affecting the price in Indiana, right! I guess we don't get gasoline from the refineries in northern Indiana!

    Just east of St. Louis, MO, the prices here in Illinois went from $2.099 in mid-September to $2.699 around Halloween. A few places have come down to $2.619 but most are still $2.679-2.689.
