Double-edged Swords

Did Trump collude with the government of Saudi Arabia, specifically with the Saudi war criminal Mohammed bin Salman in his money-grabbing, so-called anti-corruption purge of wealthy (and corrupt) members of the Al Saud family and businessmen?

In August, Trump rolled back anti-corruption and bribery regulations in the energy industry, taking bribery (fees, baksheesh) for oil and energy contracts off the books.

It's a double-edged sword. MbS uses the fat fees previously garnered as a reason to grab the bank accounts of those who received them under negotiations with their U.S. and other foreign partners. Word is getting out of the names of his prey, some of the biggest Saudi players in the industry. It's terribly convenient for American companies -- who provided the "fees" to Al Saud family members and business people and will be exposed during this purge -- will escape the rule of law here.

Is the threat of a new refugee crisis in Europe a double-edged sword? If Israel, the U.S. and Mohammad bin Salman continue with the belligerent chatter about attacking Lebanon, then it appears to be so.

Anybody else notice that Bahrain is shaped like a dagger? 

It seems that Bahrain's dictator and his family are whoring for Bonesaw, kissing the forehead that ordered the bombs to drop on Yemen's poorest children in their schools and buses, bowing to Israel's greed for all of Palestinian land and resources and support by clown foreign minister for Israeli bombing of several fellow Arab countries on phony security grounds. 

Supposedly, Bahrain needs the money from the blood-soaked hands of two men, of Bonesaw and his brain in Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed. Why? Because the ancient unelected prime minister and all the "royal" women have socked away billions of unearned income and corruption is endemic. The island is poor. The rulers won't use their ill-gotten gains to improve the lot of the whole island.

It could be amusing in the Bahrain dagger could be used to cut that dirty, dirty connection, then bring back the assets abroad that aren't making income for the state and remake itself until global warming puts it under water.

Al Saud play Game of Frogs

Al Saud headmaster say to Al Khalifa frogs, "Jump!"

Al Khalifa frogs say, "How high?"

Al Saud say to convicted war criminal and well-paid mercenary frog leading Sudan, "Jump!"

Al Bashir says, "How high?"

Al Saud say to Al Nahyan, "Join us in demanding frogs jump."

Al Nahyan "Okay, but maybe it would be better if an older, more experienced crown prince operated in the shadows, pulling frog puppet strings."

Al Saud say to Al Sabah, "Join us in demanding frogs jump."

Al Sabah say, "We prefer to mediate frog jumping competition."

Al Saud say to Qatar's Al Thani, "Jump!"

Qataris say, "We ain't frogs."

Another Saudi Arabian Terrorist Attacks Us

A woman, a young Pakistani woman from Saudi Arabia, married under the contractual laws of one of the two sects of Islam to an American man her guardian must have approved even though they met online, was trained to shoot short and long guns, gussied up like a ninja terrorist, participates in a mass shooting, then dies either by police bullet or her own hand. 27 years old. Probably hopped up on Captagon. Who trained the honeypot? Who paid the bills? Who benefits?

Al Sauds Don't Drain the Swamp, They Drain The People's Money

It's been reported widely this week that the IMF warned Saudi Arabia may run extremely low in financial assets in five years unless they sharply reduce their spending. It's also widely suggested that the funds being depleted so fast are due to low oil prices (nevermind the Saudis wanted them low and have kept them low for multiple reasons) and to costs related to regional wars.

Why isn't the reporting more accurate? Why can't the Independent or the Guardian or the lousy New York Times or the Washington Post reporters include just a couple more salient facts and less euphemism? "Regional wars?" Why not say the Saudis are spending massive funds in support of terrorists and terrorism in Syria and Iraq? Why not say that the Saudis spent billions to overthrow the democratically elected president of Egypt and keep that sissie in power? Why not say the Saudis are spending massive funds bombing the poorest nation in the Middle East to smithereens, hiring soldiers from other countries to do what they cannot do themselves on the ground, committing war crimes, patrolling the sea to stop enough food, water and medicine for the millions of people affected by the Young Hothead General's need to prove his manhood?

Why not say that the Al Saud family are the biggest thieves on earth, that their greed and corruption appears to know no bounds? Daily there are reports of the massive theft of public money and plots on how to get more of it at the highest levels of the Saudi dynasty. The 12 to 16 billion dollar Lockheed Martin deal announced this week? How many of those billions is baksheesh? How much is the share of Mohammad bin Salman in that baksheesh?

Even some reporters whose work I respect get a fail, and the royal lovers at SUSRIS get the cake.
