The Saudi Reign of Terror

Submitted by Edmundo Balderrama, Sep 14, 2007 10:57

And so it goes. Business as usual for the US and its dubious allies in the interest of our capitalist economy. Since the Yalta Conference of 1945, the Saudis have positioned themselves to become a major influence in world politics and economics. The Saudis stand by and watch as we fight their proxy war in the Middle East so that some day, after we clear out all the extremist regimes, they can rule virtually at will. Already they exert enormous influence on the world's economy by clever control of the oil markets and investments in infrastructures of numerous nations. If world domination is their goal, and there is no reason to doubt it, then they are well on the way.

Fortunately for the world, their oil will some day become less of an instrument of control. What will remain, however, will be the empire they will have built with oil money that reaches into all our lives. No one in this country can point their finger at someone else, regardless of ideology or political belief, and accuse any one else of complicity. Every time we fill our gas tank, we are complicit in the support of the surreptitious Saudi goal of world domination. Their exports of terrorists and money for their murderous schemes is but the tip of the iceberg floating in the Arabian Desert.
