Part I: Introduction
Once the collective political forces of evil got Richard Nixon removed from the Presidency with the Great Watergate Hoax, the Saudi monarchy, unopposed, stole the 80-90% of the ARAMCO that did not belong to them – and they did so by spreading billions of dollars around everywhere to be free from every one’s coercion. Western Investment Bankers and their political and financial ‘associates’ got filthy rich thereafter.
Every racist Islamic Anti-Semitic group was paid off with subsidies to leave the Saudis along. In fact, everyone was paid to leave them alone. They ‘owned’ so many American politicians from both parties that it was hard to find a true opponent. There is quite a lot more to the history.
[In 1985, Steven Emerson wrote a wonderful book called “The American House of Saud.” (He was a Jewish anti-anti-Semite who spent many years getting Ukrainian WaffenSS Ivan Demjanuck ever so belatedly deported from his American UAW job to Germany to be prosecuted for his Nazi era atrocities as ‘Ivan the Terrible.’) I should have included the “American House of Saud” as one of my twenty-seven reference books at the bottom of my “About the Book Page.” I read this book sometime in the 1990s and actually forgot about it in part until October 7, 2023. I highly recommend, if you can secure a copy, that you read it today.]
After WWI and the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the one area that interested nobody among the WWI victors was the Arabian Peninsula and Mecca and Medina especially. The Saudi monarchy acquired most of its financing as the Hashemite Sharif of Mecca and family beforehand by collecting tax from Muslims who made their ‘hajj’ as required once in their lifetime. (Even before the founding of Islam in the early 7th Century, ancestral Arab burial grounds of Tribal Leaders had been located in Mecca and brought Tribal followers there for pre-Islamic rituals.
In the 1920s the founders of the Saudi monarchy, unopposed, conquered the area and instituted the Saudi monarchy. During the 1930s, in the eternal search for petroleum reserves to provide the energy necessary for modern civilization, an overseas from America subsidiary corporation (CAL-TEX) jointly owned by Texaco and the Standard Oil Company of California (Chevron) paid the young Saudi monarchy for the rights to explore for oil.
They discovered so much oil that they set up a company called ARAMCO – 25% owned by Chevron, 25% owned by Texaco, 25% owned by Exxon with the last 25% split between Mobil (The Standard Oil Company of New York) and the Saudi monarchy. The entire financial investment was, of course, made by the oil companies.
Back in those days, until the 1970s, the cheapest oil to produce in the world was ARAMCO oil. Selling it for $2-3/barrel, which was almost all profit.
Since the Cold War which began after WWII lasted until the 1989-1993 era, the paramount Saudi fear was Communism or the other forms of Marxism overthrowing their government.
Before Johnny Carson took over the NBC Tonight Show in 1962, his predecessor, Jack Paar, on several occasions, told an ironic humorous story about an American military practice. The US military maintained an air base in Saudi Arabia (a Judenrein – Jew-Free – area) for decades. Alcohol was banned. For centuries, it had been a standing joke in the military: ‘It is a soldier’s duty to get drunk once in a while.’ Not in Saudi Arabia. One day, an enterprising American soldier figured out how to be reassigned elsewhere in the world. All that was required was to get a Stateside associate to send them a mezuzah. When taking a shower, the Arab maintenance worker would inform the government that a Jew was in the US contingent because he left the mezuzah and chain hanging outside the shower area. Apparently the practice repeated quite a lot.
Starting in the late 1950s or 1960s, Soviet ally Nasser waged a long-term war in the Yemen against local Tribes allied with the much richer Saudi monarchy. (I could swear I remember reading that poison gas was used by the Marxist proxies, but eventually they failed. The UK maintained a large naval base at Aden until a much later period.)
Shifting to the Iranian Revolution which began in 1978 with a typical Communist-style Popular Front of all disaffected and organized opponents of the Shah’s regime, the Revolution began with about 2,000 Human Shields shot to death by the SAVAK, the Shah’s police, which was worldwide misrepresented as tens of thousands of ‘peaceful protestors’ in the EVIL SCUMBAG PRESS. This publicity got the Western backers of the Shah’s government to get him to ‘bail out.’
Starting in 1978, until no later than December 1979, Popular Front allies of Khomeini were ‘exterminated.’
In early December 1979, the conniving Tyrant sent ‘mostly peaceful student protestors and demonstrators’ to take over the American Embassy in Teheran. They stayed there for 444 days until January 20 1981 when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. On that day, the hostages were released and flew home.
When the West had failed to use any force against this Iranian challenge, the Madman Ruhollah Khomeini was further emboldened to, in Stalin style, try, convict and execute not only people not under his control but also those within to purify his totalitarian regime. (If you have a great memory, you might remember the name of Sadegh Ghotbzadeh who was the primary English-speaking business-suit wearing public relations spokesman for the Tyrant. He too was tried and executed in a manner that Stalin perfected in his 1930s purges.
The relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia had several tragically interesting episodes. The two most ‘interesting’ such episodes to me are as follows.
Previously, in September 1970, the PLO had attempted to overthrow the Jordanian monarchy but failed when the Israeli air force intervened.
The PLO was driven into Syria which used its tanks to redirect them into Lebanon where they violently took over the then peaceful country. One hundred thousand Maronite Christians were massacred to the complete disinterest of Civilization. (In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, the Munich Massacre bothered no one in the world outside of Israel and the non-appeasement Jews.) In subjugating the Shia underclass, Arafat’s ‘freedom fighters’ used them as slaves to grow poppies for heroin to sell to corrupt Europeans so successfully that the organization under his personal total control acquired billions of dollars deposited in Swiss bank accounts.
The PLO purchased, from the USSR, thousands of Katusha rockets mounted on mobile Toyota trucks positioned in civilian areas to shell and kill Israelis. (As soon as they launched their rockets, the trucks drove away leaving the civilian areas to be bombed in self-defense.)
However, the Law of Unintended Consequences alienated so many Lebanese Shia that they became easily recruitable into the Hezbollah proxy that Iran created starting no later than 1979-1980. Dropping back in time, Anwar Sadat’s Soviet-sponsored 1973 Yom Kippur War preceded a series of Western oriented changes to Egyptian policy. (Nasser died in 1971 and was succeeded by Anwar Sadat. When the Muslim Brotherhood had attempted to assassinate Nasser years earlier, he banned them. Starting in 1971, Anwar Sadat was persuaded by outsiders to, in stages, reverse that policy.) In 1977, Sadat, telephoning Menachem Begin of Israel via two long-distant phone links to and from Europe, informed the Israelis that he wished to fly to Israel and address the Knesset in Jerusalem about peace. (See if you can name a single Arab political leader who ever asked to address the Knesset about anything? I cannot.) As I have written elsewhere, the schmucks of the CIA and the U.S. State Department took control of this ‘peace process’ with financial subsidies and land transfers from Israel to Egypt. The whole world remembers the ‘official’ Camp David Accords. Very few remember that 1977 phone call and ensuing trip to Israel.
In October 1981, the now organized and powerful Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Anwar Sadat at a military parade. His successor, the corruptible and corrupt Hosni Mubarak reinstituted that Muslim Brotherhood ban. Over the years, it must have weakened even before the Great Obama’s Arab Spring overthrew Mubarak and opened the door for the Muslim Brotherhood takeover. Even after the Egyptian military took back the government, the Muslim Brotherhood flourished everywhere east of the Maghreb in the Arab world until something big happened in Saudi Arabia around 2014.
By the time Israel had finally entered Lebanon to drive the PLO out in the early 1980s, Saudi billions were used to render Israel into the Western World Scapegoat for all the world’s problems outside of the USSR.
Sadly, when Ronald Reagan was President, he had quite a few members of the ‘American House of Saud’ in his government – most especially Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.
When American Marines along with smaller contingents of French and Italian troops to restrain Maronite and Israeli force, it was Caspar Weinberger’s Saudi masters who made him more afraid of an American soldier shooting an Arab (even in self-defense) than anything else. To insure that ‘restraint,’ the Rules of Engagement, at the Marine barracks defense, required that the guards were not allowed to have bullets in their rifles.
Then one day, in the early 1980s, the ‘Cult of Ismael’ (hashhasheen) destroyed by the Mongols in 1258 was discovered to have effectively been recreated. A large garbage truck, filled with high explosives, driven by a Hero-Martyr approached a Marine barracks at high speed. Before the startled guard could load his gun, 250 American Marines were massacred. Reagan had the troops pack up and leave. The original plan, unknown to the public, was to shell the area with Naval gunfire – but Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger talked President Reagan out of it. ‘It might create even more motivated enemies’ was the Appeasement Hypothesis. Showing weakness in the form of tolerance in the face of barbaric evil is and always has been the actual cause of motivated enemies – but it takes Moral Courage to accept that simple truth in human nature.
During the 1981-88 Iran-Iraq War, the Devil Khomeini used indoctrinated children tied together to clear mine fields with their dead bodies. The world paid little attention to it. But the example that he set inspired many elements of the college educated Muslim Brotherhood leadership hydra to inspire their followers to be that same Martyr-Hero. The Sunni Muslim Brotherhood has thrived ever after but under the radar. If you look hard enough, you will find that today’s politburo of the WWSOG-BOG, the Council on Foreign Relations, officially claims that the Muslim Brotherhood renounced violence in the 1970s. The assassination of Anwar Sadat in October 1981 doesn’t seem to register as the beginning of the irrefutable proof of the evil violence always used when to its advantage by the worldwide leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood hydra.
With the proliferation of Martyr-Heroes from the reinvigorated Cult of Ismael, the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood has thrived ever after.
You never find a LEADER, even in the Middle Ages, choosing to be a Martyr-Hero, only indoctrinated followers. Today there are hundreds of thousands of them. In Africa, only the Wagner Group refuses to take living prisoners. That is why weak-willed ‘Western’ political leaders hate the Wagner Group and eternally compromise with both Shia and Sunni Jihadists.
Other than the 1983 Marine barracks atrocity, the second very interesting anecdote occurred in Mecca back in the 1980s, in the early days of the Iranian terror state. They made a challenge to Saudi rule by flooding the Hajj with preplanned rioters. The Saudi police massacred the rioters waiting on line by the thousands. That action gave the Saudi monarchy their first serious fright about the growing power of Iran.
The Saudi monarchy’s belated great fear of the Muslim Brotherhood occurred during the Great Obama’s Arab Spring. Before that, the Saudis paid off every shake-down from every Muslim Brotherhood group. But something happened during that period within the large Saudi monarchical ‘family.’ The information is difficult to accurately acquire. However, certain members of the royal family (presumably with much of their personal wealth) moved to Qatar which has always seemed to me to be the safest location for the Muslim Brotherhood and their wealth. Unlike the Trump Administration, I am incapable of minimally trusting Qatar, or any Arab state east of the Maghreb including ‘reformist’ Saudi Arabia.
Part II: The Story Continues
Back during the Cold War, Sadam Hussein’s Iraq and Khaddafi’s Libya were closely allied with the USSR. Sometime during the 1980s (or even in the 1970s), in a mysterious way, Khaddafi’s enormous oil wealth provided him with several tons of a weapon of mass destruction. Libya acquired a massive amount of the plastic explosive SEMTEX which the Soviets were producing in Czechoslovakia. A small amount of such plastic explosive, with a timing device, could be and was smuggled on to commercial airlines to blow them up in mid-flight. During the Reagan administration, some of that plastic explosive was planted in a German nightclub frequented by Turkish guest-workers.
It had been my impression, without proof, somewhere along the line, Khaddafi used his enormous oil wealth to purchase atomic weapons from Pakistan which had developed them by then. I have never been able to believe that Pakistan, just as Qatar, could ever be a trust-worthy ally under any conditions. Unfortunately in the 1956 ‘Suez Crisis,’ President Eisenhower (one year after his stroke and just before his 1956 reelection) was persuaded by the schmucks in the prestigious State Department to save Nassar from an Anglo-French flotilla sent to reinforce the paratroopers that they had sent to take the Suez Canal back – and totally ignore the coterminous Hungarian Revolution for Freedom from the USSR which was crushed by Soviet tanks.
Among the Communist and Muslim Brotherhood racist Arab supremacist terrorist groups, there was even a master bomb maker who was personally paid tens of millions of dollars (kept in Swiss bank accounts) used to blow up commercial airlines. He was a member of one of those Communist factions of the PLO – the faction that used the term ‘General Command’ as his theoretical group. If you have a great memory, you might even remember that. after the bombing of the Turkish nightclub in Germany, the Reagan Administration responded with a bombing attack on Khaddafi in Libya. (We lost a plane and its crew because our useless NATO ‘friends’ made our planes fly from their base in the UK in a round-about way over international waters instead of a direct shorter route over ‘allies’ like France and Spain. It was at that time that I first learned the whole SEMTEX story from the Conservative press that I had started to read.)
Not long after the Khomeini coup d’etat and consolidation of power, Sunni-run Soviet ally Saudi-subsidized Iraq went to war against them. (They apparently used massive quantities of Soviet-supplied and outlawed poison gas. The publicity was practically non-existent.) When Iran threatened to close the Straits of Hormuz, the Reagan Administration supported Iraq. We continued to support Iraq even after their using a purchased French-manufactured Exocet anti-ship missile to attack a US naval ship and kill some of our sailors. They were Sunni like the money factory of Saudi Arabia while Iran was Shia and had murdered 250 Marines (and tortured to death our kidnapped CIA Beirut Bureau Chief so they were the ‘enemy’ and Iraq and Saudi Arabia were our so-called ‘friends.’
[(If all this shifting alliance stuff makes sense to you, you must work for the CIA or the State Department or be an Expert or Authority in prestigious higher education. I am such a social misfit and so lacking in personal ambition that whenever I realize someone has lied to me, unless a sincere explanation of their ‘mistake’ persuades me of their integrity, I avoid them forever.)]
When the Cold War ended (1989-93), the Soviet sponsors of Iraq disappeared. An ambitious Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 to steal their oil wealth. A de facto member of the American House of Saud, President George H. W. Bush assembled a fake alliance and created the Gulf War. Saudi Arabia subsidized that 1991 war with a mere $50billion of their ‘oil wealth’ so that the US taxpayer would not be pissed off.
As the great Iraqi Revolutionary Guard withdrew from Kuwait, highly knowledgeable of military history, I fully expected their withdrawing troops to be bombed into extinction. Once again, I was wrong. President Bush, Colin Powell and the rest of the hierarchy stopped their ‘payback.’ Obviously Saudi Arabia wanted to retain a powerful Iraq military between them and the rising terror state of Iran. (In 18th and 19th Century European warfare, when a battle line was overcome and the soldiers fled, cavalry was used to slaughter as many of the fleeing soldiers as possible. This is the reason why, especially in the 1800s, major wars usually involved only one battle. Napoleon’s great army made greater use of horses than anyone else. He had the largest amount of horse-drawn artillery and cavalry in the world. Unfortunately for Napoleon, when he invaded Russia, conquered Moscow and fruitlessly withdrew, he lost so many horses that he lost the 1814 Battle of the Nations.
The stupidity continues. President Clinton was only in office for a few weeks in 1993 when the car bomb blew up in the basement of the WTC. I distinctly remember reading, in the New York Post, that a few years earlier (in 1990), when a Muslim Brotherhood Terror Cell murdered Rabbi Mier Kahane in NYC, the cell was filled with records in Arabic. The FBI (no longer run by William Webster, a truly competent and honest patriotic leader) were more worried about Americans with guns who had not assaulted others like Randell Weaver and the Waco Cult, put those records into a warehouse – UNTRANSLATED into English. It was the same terror cell that sent that car bomb into the WTC in 1993.
I believe that I read that Tim McVeigh, an apparently psychotic Gulf War veteran who blew up an FBI building in Oklahoma City, was tried and several years later actually executed. I was doing Jury Duty in lower Manhattan in the winter of 2000 or 2001 when the car bombers of the WTC were finally tried. Of course, they were never executed. (ACLU or other hard-left ‘human rights’ lawyers and their collaborators in the EVIL SCUMBAG PRESS would never allow that. I could swear I remember reading that the U.S. taxpayer, unknowingly, funded millions of dollars-worth of those treasonous defense lawyers.)
Skipping ahead to the Post-9/11 Era, my initial expectation had been that every Arab country that could harbor Arab terrorists, who did not restrict their anti-Civilization mass murder atrocities to Israel and the Jews would completely cooperate with a George W. Bush Administration post-Afghan campaign with two exceptions. Libya had SEMTEX and probably atomic weapons possibly purchased from Pakistan and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq (even in the post-Cold War era) was by far the most militarily powerful since his Revolutionary Guard almost entirely escaped in 1991. (By 2003, twelve years later, most Iraqi ‘citizens’ had been brain-washed into believing that the USA lost the Gulf War – after all, George H. W. Bush and Margaret Thatcher were long gone and Saddam Hussein was still around.)
My original thought was that every Arab terrorist would hide in Iraq or Libya. Libya was small and less menacing after Reagan had bombed them back in the 1980s. When the attack on Iraq occurred in 2003, one good thing actually happened. Before the ‘Rules of Engagement’ fatuities enabled the subsequent flourishing of widely recruited Sunni Jihadist terrorists, Khaddafi had been so scared that he secretly gave up all of his ‘weapons of mass destruction’ a decade before the Muslim Brotherhood supported Obama and Hillary gloried in murdering him and turning Libya into a Muslim Brotherhood hotbed.
Someday, maybe, a rational person will explain to me how ‘Shock and Awe’ was not a recruiting policy for Muslim Brotherhood EVIL. Only the Wagner Group policy of killing all the enemies and their friends and not taking prisoners (since all they do is murder people for power) can ever stop the Devil’s minions. But not in this eternal tolerance for the Devil’s anti-Civilization murderers.
When Anwar Sadat was murdered by the Muslim Brotherhood in October 1981, east of the Maghreb, in my judgement, there are only two kinds of Arab political leaders. Those willing to use ruthless force against all of the Muslim Brotherhood hydra but are invariably remarkably corrupt; and those who, whether in secret or in public, are so terrified of being the next assassinated Anwar Sadat, that when push comes to shove, fully cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood hydra.
Today’s ‘Institute for the Study of War’ is as much part of the WWSOG-BOG as the Council on Foreign Relations in undermining Western Civilization in the name of ‘low intensity warfare’ is tolerable because it is NOT an Existential Threat to Civilization. The only goal of the WWSOG-BOG is the perpetuation of the WWSOG-BOG.
