“If You’re Going to Go Around the World Plundering Oil Why Not Hit Saudi Arabia First?
“You know...where the oil actually Is”
America has always known where the oil is.
After 9/11, that's exactly why the Saudis started so cozying up to America's privileged, special-status colony in the Middle East, a country they used to make a great deal of noise against.
They feared an American invasion, which would have been far more profitable for America than invading the wastelands of Afghanistan.
Not that I'm saying the Saudis had anything to do with 9/11, but the United States at that time could have made a case for anyone of its choosing. Look at what it did a little later to Iraq.
Some still try making a case for Saudi Arabia, but it is nonsense, special-interest disinformation.
The Saudis were in very tight with American establishment figures well before 9/11, especially with the Bushes, and they had nothing to gain by an attack.
The Royal Family only made payments to Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan to keep his nose out of Saudi Arabia, not to do anything else.
Of course, it has never been proved that Osama bin Laden was even involved in 9/11. It has just been assumed by our corporate press from day one. We truly do not know who was responsible.
Well, now the Saudis are, under the leadership of their smiling, blood-drenched Crown Prince, an integral part of America's plan for “the birth of a new Middle East."
And it's smiles and handshakes all around, all the time.
Guys like Trump and Netanyahu just have to have a special attendant accompany them on visits to the Crown Prince to wipe the blood from their hands.
