    The only reasonable solution is for the the US and the rest of the civilized world to tell the Saudis that they will not deal with MbS and insist on him being removed from any position of relevance. This will be a warning to despots everywhere and ensure that MbS’ replacement acts within the bounds of international law.

    Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman bragged of receiving classified US intelligence from Jared Kushner and using it as part of a purge of ‘corrupt’ princes and businessmen, DailyMail.com can disclose.

    The de facto ruler of the Middle East’s largest economy is currently on a US tour which has seen him meet President Donald Trump in the White House, hold talks with a string of the country’s richest and most influential people and book the entire Four Seasons in Beverly Hills for himself and his entourage.

    Sources have told DailyMail.com that the prince – known by his initials MBS – has been boasting about his close relationship with the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, and the intelligence which he has told his circle Kushner passed to him.

    There is “reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS, in Saudi Arabia and that the prince may have acted on that, and one of the people he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi,” Castro said.

    Kushner Cos. directly solicited investment from Qatari Finance Minister Ali Sherif al-Emadi for its 666 Fifth Avenue luxury tower in April 2017, two sources in the finance industry told The Intercept. No deal came of it.

    The following month, Kushner and the White House supported a blockade of Qatar organized by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Due to the crisis, alliances in the region have shifted, with Qatar—which holds the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East—aligning more closely with Iran and Turkey.

    9/11 = 15 Saudis. Yemen disaster = USA + Saudis. Going back, the great “Arab Oil Embargo” = Chevron + Mobil + Shell + Saudis (ARAMCO= owned by Saudis run by Mobil).

    We’ve had our chance to get off an oil economy for years, but we wasted that time sucking up to oil industry profits. All hail stock profits!
