In a shocking development, Saudi press Al Mayadeen reported late on Saturday that prominent billionaire, member of the royal Saudi family, and one of the biggest shareholders of Citi, News Corp. and Twitter - not to mention frequent CNBC guest - Al-Waleed bin Talal, along with ten senior princes, and some 38 ministers, has been arrested for corruption and money laundering charges on orders from the new anti-corruption committee headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, while Royal princes’ private planes have been grounded.

Maybe this will result in another breakaway sect, rather like Osama Bin-Laden?

He gave $18 billion dollars to the Open Society Foundation to start a revolution in the USA, but the Nov 4 Antifa protests scheduled for today failed, just like the NFL "take a knee" campaign has failed.
It's now been shown that Hilary and the DNC paid for the fake Russian collusion dirty dossier, the Podesta brothers are going into hiding and Donna Brazile has published a book admitting Hilary stole the election from Bernie.
Damn I hate being a right wing idiot. I'm really getting tired of all this winning.

The Saudis have this strange arrangement with their people. The royal family is rich, of course, and they live decadently in ways that their populace probably wouldn't approve of. So to placate them, they finance all this Wahabi stuff and pay for social welfare programs. All of this sounds like something that America should despise. Frankly, I'm fine with Iran having nukes as long as it keeps the Saudi Royal Family awake at night.
They are trying to gin up a real economy rather than pay someone to pull oil out of the ground. That may explain why they going anti-terrorism. They can no longer afford ( literally ) to say screw you to the rest of the world.
They live by very different rules - and yet we still seem to want to keep them close. They are a major link in the financing of terror - and we already know it. It’s not a good relationship - and yet it continues.
