Col. W. Patrick Lang — — Let the Russians or the Chinese fight over Saudi money, not us!

Mister President, in the patois of your native New York City, pull your head out of your ass concerning the Middle East. The Saudis AND their government are nearly all religious fanatics of the Wahhabi, Sunni variety. The Al- Saud family run an absolute tyranny justified by their defense of the fanatic, medievalist brand of Islam that they live by as well as by the support of tribal groups who keep the Al-Saud secure as they always have.

Wake up! All the world is NOT a market place. Some things that cannot have dollar signs attached to them are more important than money. The men who fought in The Bulge, on Okinawa or in the Ia Drang Valley knew that. Why do you not know that?

From 1992 to 1994, all the U.S. military attachés worldwide reported to him. During that period, he also briefed President George H. W. Bush at the White House, as he had during Operation Desert Storm.

He was also the head of intelligence analysis for the Middle East for seven or eight years at that institution.

Best information on the Khashoggi affair I have encountered so far.

There are many things to learn from the gruesome murder other than the justified outrage at the event itself. It opens a window on the truly horrible world of the extremely powerful and wealthy.

The real Jamal Khashoggi did not at all resemble the person he was represented in the US media as having been.

EXCLUSIVE: BUTCHER/KILLER/REFORMER MBS AND HIS PAL JARED

One of my top House of Saud-related sources confirmed it - once again: Khashoggi was CIA - and no wonder the CIA WaPo is up in arms.

Quite a few CIA senior ops are also after MBS prime WhatsApp pal Jared.
The narrative is that Jared alerted MBS that Khashoggi was a danger.

Other CIA ops were already in uproar when MBS pulled his Ritz-Carlton jail stunt - accusing Jared of TREASON: giving away CIA files on dissidents in the royal family which were CIA agents. That led to their deaths or arrests or at least forking out billions.

This is the real game: civil war at the top. The Trump clan vs. the CIA. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Also in the news.

“The king firmly denied any knowledge of it,” Trump told reporters. “He didn’t really know, maybe - I don’t want to get into his mind but it sounded to me - maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?”

“The Kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether by threatening to impose economic sanctions, using political pressures, or repeating false accusations,” the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted an unnamed official as saying.

“The Kingdom also affirms that if it receives any action, it will respond with greater action, and that the Kingdom’s economy has an influential and vital role in the global economy,” the official added, without elaborating.
