They are not having a good day

Arrested, by who? Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salaman?

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

I'll lay odds this is connected to the investigation of the funding of Islamic terror groups by groups such as the George Soros Open Society Foundation. Now that the cock sucking faggot and his tranny wife are out of the White HOuse, poor George is persona non grata in the USA.

One of his investment fund managers is being sued.

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.

I had the same thought, anon. Money laundering sounds like a polite way of saying funding terrorists. Until now, the Saudis who funded the 9/11 terrorists have not been named, even though the 9/11 commission discovered who they were.

Who said this?
"Republicans are idiots, they believe everything on FOX news."

Lol

Think about this for a minute. Which country on earth is the biggest hotspot for terrorist financing and recruitment and indoctrination? Lots of people will say Pakistan or Afghanistan. Lots of Republicans specifically will say Iran. But everyone knows that it's really Saudi Arabia. I can't figure out why we're always playing footsie with Saudi Arabia but we talk tough on Iran. Iran actually has elections. Sometimes they even elect somebody who isn't a total nutcase. They have a population with at least some western education. Somebody once told me that surveys show that the Iranian people view America far more favorably than the Saudi Arabians do. By isolating Iran, we're just helping Saudi Arabia by removing a counterweight to their power in the region. It doesn't make sense. I was really hoping that Trump would start talking tough on Saudi Arabia. I've been very disappointed. At a bare minimum, we should never subsidize their country. Or any other country, really. But especially not Saudi Arabia.

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.

haven't thought that much about it, but seems like a marriage of convenience, we give them money in exchange for their oil, they use that money to work against us when they can, partly by financing terrorism

@anonlvone, Iran has oil, too. So do Russia, Venezuela, and lots of other shit-holes. What makes Saudi Arabia so special? Why do we treat them so much better than every other shit-hole?

i might be able to answer that, but it might cause a shit storm and so i think i'll pass. i will point out that russia is a competitor, so we don't want to pay them for the oil they have and in fact are competing with them for oil in the middle east, which is partly why we (ie. the USA) is trying to overthrown Iraq. personally i think we need to get the hell out of Iraq. Iran was like a paradise compared to what it is now after we got involved, and Iraq is going the same way. we need to stop funding ISIS and get out of Iraq.

The Saud is running low on money and oil. Well, from the standpoint that they still have hundreds of billions of dollars, but not as much as they once had. With $50 oil, measurable reserves, and a huge population that just sits around waiting for the welfare checks ( if you can call a million dollar check welfare), the clock is ticking.
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.

I don’t understand the Saudi society - partly for lack of trying. I also question our current relationship with the Saudis. There is a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few - and the wealthy have titles of prince - and they feel superior to the rest of the society.

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.

@mark94, you're probably right, the sustained low price is scaring them and they want diversification immediately. This is a gesture on their part.

@Cashman1234, agreed. And in this case, it's concentrated wealth in the hands of government officials and members of a royal family. They must really be worried if they're letting one of their golden boys get arrested.

it's not a gesture, they are cleaning house. as i said before, this is connected to money laundering, arms trafficking and terrorist financing, as well as government corruption. i'm sure it's just a coincidence this is all happening on trump's watch. just like it's a coincidence that all the elite never trumper journalists and hollywood power brokers are being outed as rapists and pedophiles. funny how all the never trumpers are turning out to be the most corrupt maggots on the planet.

Al-Waleed bin Talal, part owner of Twitter, and generous Clinton Foundation donor, was one of the losers who declared Trump could never win the presidency. Saudi Arabia donated about 30% of Hilary Clinton's funding (at least that we know of publicly). Let's see her try to run again without Saudi Arabia backing her.

A second Prince has been killed while trying to avoid arrest. Businessmen are being arrested. No fly lists imposed to avoid fleeing. No sign of this ending.
