Yeah, what do they have in the ground or in their mountains that we can mine and use to perpetuate our hegemony?

That’s the literal name of the game.

They may have a traditional/conservative culture, but with that comes to little or no morals. Like most hereditary governments it is full of corruption. Corruption runs deep in there royal family, government, military, law enforcement, corporations/businesses.

There were princes that were friends with Epstein and don’t care to admit it.

They don’t have a problem with human trafficking.

What source material should I be reading? I canceled NYT because I just couldn't support them anymore. Still check Drudge 3x a day and read many links from him but hes a leftist hack.

I admit I get 80% of my political news from YouTube now. Tucker, Megyn, Halperin, Emily J, Taiibi and Kirn, Weinstein, NF, Dore, Redacted. What am I missing?

So Saudis are the good Muslims and the rest are bad Muslims? What country did the 9/11 hijackers come from?

The Saudis have the weapons but they are far from powerful. Their pilots are terrible, their maintenance crews break more shite than they fix and whoever put Saudis > Isrealis has zero knowledge of either. Having been to both countries and served with both militaries the Isrealis are far better. Amongst the Middle Eastern countries the Saudis are the best but that is not saying much.

The patsy "fundamentalist Muslims" who allegedly flew fully-fuelled Boeing 767 / 757 passenger jets into tiny targets with no prior experience were probably from Saudi Arabia.

No conclusive word on where the people or instruments actually remotely maneuvreing the planes from a safe distance were from.

They absolutely knew the planes were going to be flew into buildings. That was their mission. Hell they learned how to fly in Tampa Bay Florida.

The main pilots for the 9/11 attacks, including Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah, took flight lessons at various schools in the U.S..
Some of these pilots took both simulator and actual flight training, and in some cases, instructors noted their unusual requests, such as focusing only on simulator training over major U.S. cities, without interest in learning to take off or land the planes.
The pilots and other hijackers used cash to pay for their flight training, which stood out to instructors.
