The dirty relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia

Without naming names of horrific, game-changing terrorist events, it appears that the role of Saudi Arabia in one of the worst such events in history is now rather out in the open.

Furthermore, important people are sending the message on MSM that we really don't want to look too deep into the Saudi's role because even if we found out conclusively, we wouldn't do anything due to our "special relationship with them".

Please watch the first few minutes of this video and then ask yourself what the hell has happened to the USA and why did hundreds of thousands of US soldiers and their families have their lives ruined for.

1. They've been able to keep it secret (for the most part) for a long

time, but maybe now it will get more coverage and people will pay attention.

Some people only like to discuss the subject when they can feel smug over people with the wackiest theories but when shown that their one govt. has let the real bad guys go and conspire to allow them to avoid payback, it is all crickets.

Is this really such a small thing so as to get less attention that Breitbart's death or Fluke's being called a slut?

Are people no longer able to apply their own minds to what is important news?

kinda says it all.

Except that more and more people aren't buying it, because the TRUTH
(not lies and deception) will indeed set us free.

7. I absolutely LOVED the LAST minute or so, chit-chat

about what they plan on doing over Summer 2012: i.e. "who is more 1% than whom"
and how "having a charity" is cooler than having a yacht.

Sweet.

For about a half a min these SOBs pretend to care about real people, then they quickly switch into their "I'm richer than you" bullshit. Someone take the icepick out of my hand before I gouge my eyes out.

Then of course is the bullshit of foreign vs domestic oil. Are they really this stupid?

Then there is the reality that we don't need oil, but that gets lost on some DUers, so just WTF.

Final straw is that they will never mention the kissing close relationship between the bush*s and the House of Saud.

Really, I am finding it more difficult to deal with these breaks in reality and humanity.

11. That's brilliant and convincing

but would be more-so if it didn't keep using same pics over and over, esp.
since it could also be much shorter and keep my attention the whole time.

The way it is, I get slightly bored 2/3 way through, and want to move on
before it's over.

it conveys the weird beyond belief so-call reality of the Bush/Saudi connection
in a really creative and convincing way, so it is a real nice tool for our peaceful
revolution that so sorely needs to happen asap .. Ahh American Spring .. I see
you coming round the next bend, and you are beautiful.

16. Is the Saudi Royal Family still blowing smoke up the FBI's collective ass
Sun Mar 4, 2012, 09:49 PM

Some FBI agent (O'Neill sp?) tried to get the establishment to look deeper into Saudi Arabia, but alas, he was run out of the agency and died in the towers in 2001.

The head of the FBI (or maybe it was the CIA) when the attacks went down got a medal. For fucking up. So I think it is safe to assume that the establishment is STILL looking the other way, on purpose, because of some shady business deal with the Saudi crime family.

We are on our own, it appears, and have been for awhile.

On edit: Tenet got the medal of freedom. He is CIA. The other incompetent nincumpoop was Freeh--who was the guy having smoke blown up his ass at the FBI. At least that's the way I recall.
