It's all kicking off in Saudi Arabia right now...

[Hubble]

Massive purge taking place - at the same time as:

"Saudi Arabia’s leadership has pulled off its boldest move yet to consolidate power around its young crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, arresting 11 senior princes, one of the country’s richest men and scores of former ministers in what it billed as a corruption purge."
(source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...med-bin-salman)

We also have:
"A senior Saudi prince and seven other officials have been killed in a helicopter crash near the country's border with Yemen, state media report.
Prince Mansour bin Muqrin, the deputy governor of Asir province, was returning from an inspection tour when his aircraft came down near Abha late on Sunday, the interior ministry said.
It did not give a cause for the crash."

Something really big is happening on the global stage right now, and last night's latest leak about the secret tax avoidance affairs of the super rich (including the Queen of this country) look in many ways like a smokescreen for this much bigger stuff.

Poking Iran with a big stick today.

Something tells me there is something much bigger at play with this supposed clamp down on corruption. Probably an excuse to remove people of influence that have differing opinions to King Salman.

Not just that Tarbs, this is, as you suggest, regime change on a grand scale. All those removed from power were Clinton/Bush allies. There is a worldwide purge of an old order taking place right now.

Interesting.

For what purpose do you think Hubs?

[Hubble]

Just to back that up, this is actually from the mainstream Huffington Post:

"If I told you that Democratic Party lobbyist Tony Podesta, whose brother John Podesta chairs Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, is a registered foreign agent on the Saudi government’s payroll, you’d probably think I was a Trump-thumping, conspiratorial nutcase. But it’s true.
The lobby firm created by both Tony and John Podesta in 1988 receives $140,000 a month from the Saudi government, a government that beheads nonviolent dissidents, uses torture to extract forced confessions, doesn’t allow women to drive, and bombs schools, hospitals and residential neighborhoods in neighboring Yemen. "

And then there's this paragraph:

"The Podesta-Clinton-Saudi connection should be seen in light of the recent media exposes revealing the taudry pay-to-play nature of the Clinton Foundation. Top on the list of foreign donors to the foundation is Saudi Arabia, which contributed between $10 million and $25 million.
What did the Saudis get for their largesse and access? Wikileaks revealed a 2009 cable by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying: “More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Lashkar e-Tayyiba and other terrorist groups.” Instead of sanctioning the Saudis, Clinton did the opposite: She authorized enormous quantities of weapons to be sold to them. On Christmas Eve in 2011, Hillary Clinton and her closest aides celebrated a massive $29.4 billion sale to the Saudis of over 80 F-15 fighter jets, manufactured by Boeing, a company which coincidentally contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation. In a chain of enthusiastic emails, an aide exclaimed that it was “not a bad Christmas present.” I’m sure the Yemenis at the receiving end of the Saudi bombings would not be so enthusiastic. "

Bang to rights I reckon.

Paradise papers (among other things) were a smoke screen Hubs mate

Totally agree mate.

As it is coming up in the next few years, what I want to know, with it apparently about to hit the fan, will I get to draw me pension?

to ensure the dollar is used in trade throughout the middle east.

[Stanley]

If things really are hotting up, I'm wondering what role nuclear powered Pakistan plays here, being that they're allies with Saudi Arabia?

[Tarbie]

to ensure the dollar is used in trade throughout the middle east.

It pretty much already is mate. Currencies for all GCC countries are pegged to the US Dollar. The UAE Dirham for example is pegged at 3.67 AED to 1 USD.

Things are moving slowly

Six days to go.

Merkel?

[lymehoop]

Trump?

[Hubble]

Trump is one of many people involved. Anyone heard/seen anything about Uranium 1? The marines "storming" the CIA HQ? Sealed indictments? George Soros' actions over the last couple weeks? etc.

As I said not much mention of these things in mainstream media but hopefully the purge has begun

Yep, been following all that Hovis - fascinating stuff - almost (but not quite) amazing it hasn't leaked into the mainstream in some way.... As far as I can see they've got Killary bang to rights on the uranium deal, as well as misappropriation of funds, as well as paying for the dirty dossier... let alone the continued cover up of the Seth Rich/email leaks/Podesta stuff, the Clinton foundation etc. etc...... but then again, the true axis of evil, the Bush/Clinton mafiosi clans and their backers - who seems to be half of the deep state at least - are still fighting hard to keep a lid on it all.... and they still seem to have their tentacles all over the MSM..... It would be great if some of this actually came to fruition and people found out what had really been happening, in their name, with their money....
