Unlike
the mass media to try to provide an update (as well as
contextualisation) on event that become buried in non-events like the
birth of a new sprog in the British royal family.
Update
on events in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
23
April, 2018
UPDATE
3:40 AM EDT MONDAY 4/23/2018 -- SEE BOTTOM --
At about 2:45 PM Eastern US time Saturday, reports of "gunfire
and explosions" at the Royal Palace in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
started coming in. Shortly thereafter, the palace itself
reported that guards shot down a drone and there was nothing to be
concerned about. That
statement by the Palace was false.
Video
(below) proves there was very
heavy and prolonged machine gun fire and several explosions at
the Royal Palace. A
Coup is clearly being attempted!
Saudi
Arabia now confirms that "an incident" caused the
evacuation of King Salman to a military base where he is reported
safe.....
UPDATE 3:40 AM EDT MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2018 --
COVERT
INTEL - some
former colleagues of mine still inside various Intelligence Agencies
worldwide, have ALLEGED that the incident above was an attempted Coup
and was ALLEGEDLY carried out by loyal officers of Muhammad
bin Nayef.
Muhammad
bin Nayef Al Saud (born 30 August 1959) is a prominent
member of the House of Saud. He is a nephew of King
Salman and grandson of the founding monarch King
Abdulaziz.
He
has served as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Interior of Saudi Arabia and chairman of the Council
for Political and Security Affairs.
On
29 April 2015, he was appointed Crown Prince by King
Salman, making him first in line to the throne of Saudi Arabia. On 21
June 2017 he was replaced as Crown Prince and First Deputy Prime
Minister by the king’s son, then Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad
bin Salman, and relieved of all positions by royal decree of King
Salman.
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
It's
a sure sign of a civil war breaking out. Chaos, confusion, multitudes
of sides only loosely affiliated toward a common goal/against a
common enemy.
It's a sign that Saudi Arabia is now turning into Iraq quagmire following the U.S. invasion of 2003, with all the downsides for U.S. (expected massive attacks on U.S. troops, factional fighting with bombs going all over the place, at least half of which have been done by the CIA, by the way) and none of the upsides (uncontrolled access to free oil).
A smart market player would expect oil price to blow right through the roof in a week or so, with Russia turning the tables on the U.S.-Saudi oil war on Russia, that had collapsed the oil price in an effort to bring Russia to its knees.
Talking about shooting oneself in the foot...
What U.S. "strategic planners" (in reality - complete morons) never realized was that U.S. Saudi legs were made of glass, and that glass has just shattered into a billion pieces.
