Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has died in hospital, state TV says.

If this next in line whom I hear is real old too, and demented bites the dust soon, who is next after him? Hopefully he is a young dude more westernized.

What is this going to mean for oil prices? Who is going to make this decision given the next in line is a bit demented?

Who will really be in charge? Putin going be watching this. If Putin can go into Ukraine, why not send troops to Arabia? Call of Duty guys Treyarch and infinity ward will have material for years to come.
 
Not a big deal at all. The Saudis were prepared for this. The mullahs have their schools ain't nobody getting uppidity in saudi of importance.

The family tends to rule together at times on business. It's not a big deal. The next good could be retarded they have a system worked out for this. It's all about the money with them.

Why is it brothers and not Sons? In Europe, Sons would kill their uncles and cousins to ensure their rule is not challenged. Is this a Bedouine thing?
 
CNN has really painted this Abdullah King guy as really standup. He created co-ed universities, etc.
 
Let the fight for the throne begins
 
The Crown Prince now is Prince Muqrin.

1 big disadvantage he has in being accepted as the King after King Salman is that Muqrin's mother was a slave/concubine .



Some reports like below Al Akbar state his mother was a Black slave, while others like WaPo report she was a Yemeni concubine. They could both be right; his mother could be a Black slave/concubine from Yemen. Yemen has significant population of people from the Horn of Africa.
@mujtahidd added, “Muqrin has two characteristics that allow the king to exploit him to get what he wants. First, he is the youngest and last son of Abdul-Aziz. Second, he is extremely weak-willed to the extent that he perceives his brothers as his masters, because his mother was a black slave.”

“He is not a real prince; his mother was a slave and there are other brothers who are more competent,” said a former Saudi official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because criticizing the royal family is imprudent. “Nobody believes Muqrin can become king.”

To think, 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi's.

USA Today: 02/06/2002
Official: 15 of 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudi





Strange we never inquired more into the Saudi's involvement into the attacks, it could be due to



The Saudi - Bush Connection



-Salem bin Laden, Osama's brother, conducted all his American affairs through James Bath.

-James Bath invested $50,000 in Arbusto, George Bush Jr's first business venture.


- It has long been thought that Bath was investing funds for Salem bin Laden.


- Prince Bandar and Prince Sultan (Bandar's father) heavily invested in the defense industry through their holdings in the Carlyle Group, where Bush Senior served on the board of directors.


- 9/10/01 - The day before 9/11 --- the Carlyle Group met at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in NYC . In attendance at this meeting were former president George H. W. Bush and Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of Osama

So two odd things happened the day before the 9/11/01 attacks:


George Sr. is in a meeting with Osama Bin Laden's Brother.

And Donald Rumsfeld causally says 2.3 Trillion Dollars went missing from the Pentagon.

 
Meh, they got succession set up for a long time to come. One before Abe managed to get somewhat disabled by a stroke in mid 90's but still defied the odds and held on for a decade while little princes ruled.
 
Something about the Arab prophecy that when King Abdullah from Saudi Arabia dies, the 12th Imam will appear.
 
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/23/middleeast/who-is-saudi-arabia-king-salman/index.html

Probably not a big deal. The Saudi's are crooks and in bed with fanatics, but they aren't fucking stupid when it comes to their internal little cabal. They've got a succession well mapped out. Everyone knows where they stand to be. Everyone relevant to a power struggle will continue to rake in personal billions no matter where they fall in the grand scheme of things.

Anyone who rocked that boat would be put out to pasture real fucking quick.
