"The judges said "closed material", which had not been made public for national security reasons, "provides valuable additional support for the conclusion..."
I cannot wait to find out, although I expect to be an old man by that time, the true nature of our relationship with Saudi. Considering our extremely close involvement in all things Saudi since it's inception [0], I suspect our countries are more intertwined than most realise.
All of the human rights abuses, funding of terrorism abroad, 9/11 etc it truly is a puzzle why they get away with so much with the West. It is quite easy to get conspiratorial about the whole thing.
Could it be that the West has made a deal with Al Saud (oil, strategic geopolitical area), but the Ulama (separate from the Royals) are those who do not comply? Any recommended reading from someone who knows about this topic?

- cmahler7 9y agoIt all comes down to the petrodollar. When you look at it through that frame everything makes sense. Saddam started selling oil in Euros so they had to take him out, despite all 9/11 guys being Saudis. Gaddafi was going to make a gold backed currency so he had to be taken out. Still nobody will tell us where the 200 billion in gold he had has gone. The Syria situation is over a pipeline to Europe, Russia doesn't want that to go through Qatar/Saudis/US do, so we fund rebels to overthrow the "dictator". Putin has said that the petrodollar must die, which is why he is public enemy #1, petrodollar is what keeps the US on top. This is what keeps the dollar demand strong despite nothing backing it. People only become dictators when they threaten our interests. We protect and overlook Saudis human rights abuses because they help push our agenda in the Middle East. The trillions made by the MIC is just icing on the cake.
- reacweb 9y agoWhy is there no mention of that on the wikipedia articles ?
- cmahler7 9y agowith regards to what specifically?
- rtx 9y agoQuestion is why would Saddam and Gaddafi do such a foolish thing.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoIt's not that foolish to want to break up a monopoly. In the case of Iraq, you'd almost think it was a good idea, considering they were going to base oil sales on the Euro, which would have been favourable to the countries in the Eurozone, who would naturally become allies, helping to break trade sanctions that had held Iraq back. If it wasn't for Saddam's history with the US they might've gotten away with it.
- Theodores 9y agoThis is an accurate assessment yet you have to read a lot online to get to this understanding. Nobody in the mainstream media and no politician in the Western media will help you get to understand things as they are, so it is an interesting time we live in where more and more people are independently informed yet the 'great leaders' still think everyone is stupid.
- specializeded 9y agoI disagree with having to research it on your own. It’s a common enough theory thrown around on reddit, Twitter, fb groups etc on the daily without any further thought required on one’s part. Search petrodollar on any of those sites and see. To make it fun, drink every time you see mention of the Jews, Masons, and NWO while looking through the results.
