new boook;"Secrets of the Kingdom"

“The 9/11 Commission gave the Saudis a free pass." Gerald Posner writes in Secrets of the Kingdom, "This book shows why.”

If you’re looking for a short history that covers the last few decades of U.S. relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you’ve come to one of the best sources. Posner weaves together rich, fascinating threads of details, anecdotes, and newly disclosed secrets that reveal how Saudi Arabia keeps the U.S. bent over an oil barrel

In Chapter 10, Posner drops a highly explosive story on the reader. Drawing sources from Israeli intelligence as well as from a file that the National Security Agency (NSA) called the “Petroleum Scorched Earth,” Posner reports that Saudi officials have wired all their major oil facilities with a network of Semtex explosives that some Saudi king or designated prince can detonate from a single control point. As if this news does not shock us, Posner adds that this network of explosive charges includes several extremely toxic, radioactive materials. It’s a huge dirty bomb that would contaminate the world’s richest oil fields and thus prohibit oil extraction.

Posner explains that the Saudi Royalty installed these explosives in order to make certain that nobody could benefit from taking down the Saud regime. If internal or external forces bring down the House of Saud, Posner writes, the new world order, as we know it, goes with it because all the oil on which the Western military industrial complex depends disappears forever. "


I wonder what similar dirty tricks the bush royalty has installed in the US kingdom ??

1. limited hangout/disinfo
Doesn't it make you wonder that the "Saudis did it" line
is being pushed by Gerald Posner? Posner was the CIA's
favorite disinfo artist to counter the Oliver Stone movie
on the Kennedy assassination with his attempt at debunking,
"Case Closed". Now with the 911 coverup crumbling here he
is again, this time trying to place the blame on the Saudis.

How convenient. Sure the Saudis funded terrorism. At the
request of the US Government they matched our funding of
bin Laden et al dollar for dollar first in Afghanistan and
then in the Balkans. Now he and his sponsors (no doubt very
highly placed military and intelligence operatives) want to
hide their guilt by putting it all on their rather passive
partners in Saudi Arabia. What a bunch of crap!
