“Friends”

The last decent Saudi was King Faisal . . . so of course, he was assassinated.

The scum at the UN have no room to criticize anyone about human rights.

Or maybe we just need the oil because the mashed potato head globalist puppet on the throne is actively destroying our domestic energy production sector.

All the while draining our “strategic” reserves so when OPEC cuts us off, he can force us to go green.

That’s the thing….you CAN’T “go green” unless you have plenty of fossil fuels. Nobody seems to be willing to point this out to any of these shitheads (not directed at you). You can’t build solar panels without fossil fuels, nor windmills, nor even nuclear plants (not that they want them) without fossil fuels. And you can’t charge EVs without them at the moment. I don’t favor the environmentally-unfriendly “alternative fuel” industry, but at least if you are going to execute a changeover, you MUST plan for how it is actually achievable…and it is NOT if you have NO OIL, NO nat gas, NO coal, NO plastics (from oil), NO metals (all mined using fossil fuels for the equipment), and so, so, so much more. Its like they know they only have a couple of years before everyone is going to be coming to kill them, so they have to work quickly. Of course, it is what they are doing that will be the motivation for everyone with the pitchforks and torches, but they never seem to understand that either.

Trivia question #1: What is the greatest industrial source of CO2 after energy production/consumption (i.e. energy is number one, what’s number two?)?

Trivia question #2: How much concrete is needed per mW for fossil fuel plants or for nuclear, versus concrete per mW for “renewables”?

First, JD Rockefeller knew oil was abiotic. But, it oozed up in geologic formations that had FOSSILS. Hence, a limited resource called “fossil fuels”. To date, no one can produce crude using today’s technology. Plus, NOBODY understands the chemistry of coal.

God gave us petroleum and coal. On what was to be a perfect world before the Khazarians & their globohomo forebears (Cannanites/Phoenicians) corrupted it.

1. Make a big announcement about what has been your policy for years already.
2. Luckily for MBS, the US has legal authority over the whole world…

My sides, my sides!

I nowadays see the whole Khashoggi murder as a cleverly disguised trap by CIA et al., to let MBS become another complete puppet of the US.
Isn’t working that well, they overplayed it and, just like Yeltsin in 1999, he just got royally pissed and started looking for options to break with the US, instead.
