Little Known Facts About the Al-Saud Family

They swim in oil and sit on golden toilets. The wealthiest, most influential family in the world is the al-Sauds, a long line of Saudi Arabians that fill every political slot in the country. Pushing buttons as they please, the al-Sauds have cut off their "Saudi Arab Light" to other nations as threats. It is virtually the only family with the world at their fingertips.

In 1973, they ceased oil transactions with the US and Western Europe, enraged that the US had rushed to help Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Oil prices quadruples and mass hysteria occurred, entertainment to the al-Sauds.

6,000 males constitute the extensive al-Saud family, filling all of Saudi Arabia's government positions. The actual country was named after the ruling family which has been in power since 1932. The family co-rules the Islamic establishment which instills hate of Westerners prematurely into the teachings of the Quran. They view the west with disgust because of our exploitation of their oil.

Believe it or not, al-Saud's arch enemy is Osama bin Laden himself. Coming out of the Persian Gulf War, he ardently showed his hate for the absolute monarchy because they rejected his offer to fight Saddam Hussein with his "holy warriors". Instead, al-Saud picked the more industrialized American and European forces. Bin Laden was needless to say, "royally pissed".

The tug-of-war between the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda and the al-Sauds is never-ending. Suicide bombers endlessly ignite car bombs, shootings, grenades, and other large bomb-related blasts, in and outside of government buildings. These crimes of hate are also directed toward police.

Abdul Aziz al-Saud died in 1953, leaving 34 surviving sons to quarrel for the throne on crown Prince. Many of them are often in the Western press, noted for their actions and positions of status. Just for a scope of who's who, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz bailed out Citibank in '91, saved EuroDisney in '94, owns a good part of Saks Fifth Avenue and Four Season Hotels.

The al-Sauds hold billions in American banks, have invested $420 billion in US companies, and on Wall Street as well. The Bushes and the al-Sauds are close, often eating dinner together at the White House upon their frequent visits.

But how is it possible for the US to have so much money to buy oil from Saudi Arabia? The answer is we don't. That's where arms come in for exchange for the Saudi Arab Light. The US has loaded the Saudi Arabians with the latest and shiniest in weaponry, building up its own potential enemy. As long as we are getting the black slime in return, Bush does not really care.

A large portion of Saudi Arabians live in poverty, with a 25% unemployment rate in men. The al-Sauds snatch and keep every penny (or Saudi Riyals for that matter) to themselves. They control the world with a wave of their scepter, exporting 15% of their oil to the US. No wonder Bush brown-noses them.
