King Abdullah is going going... soon to be gone
2015-01-06
any thoughts on the politics of transition to a new King Merkin as the 6th king of Mordor abdicates?
According the the Egyptian Television network "El-Nha'r, the Saudi king will announce in the next few days that he is giving up his crown.
Maybe Champ will want it, he's going to be out of office anyway in a couple years...
King Abdullah (90), has been hospitalized since December 31st with pneomonia, in the hospital in the Saudi capital city of Riyad.

Reports coming from Saudia Arabia today (Tuesday) issued by Crown Prince Salman, Deputy Premier and Minister of Defense, reassured the public about the recovering health of King Abdullah.

Presiding over a Cabinet meeting in Riyadh, Prince Salman thanked local and international well-wishers for their concern about the king, who was admitted to King Abdul Aziz National Hospital with pneumonia on Dec. 31.

King Abdullah had earlier been placed on a respirator that would allow him to breathe easier, but his situation is that of recovery, said Prince Salman. According to reports, specialists from the United States arrived at the hospital in Saudi Arabia to address his needs.

King Abdullah, or by his full name - Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, is the Sixth King of Saudi Arabia.

According to the publication, In March of last year, Prince Merkin Muqrin bin Abdulaziz was named deputy Crown Prince and is therefore second-in-line to the throne.

Abdullah was crowned on August 1, 2005, following the death of his half-brother. He is one of the thirty-seven sons of Ibn Saud, who had founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He is married to four women, has seven boys and fifteen girls.
a good reason why we need single marriages and birth control in the Muslim world. No wonder the world is overpopulated. Gah. Put it in the drinking water....

#6  At their prodigious reproductive rate these guys will one day make up 99% of the world's population and the non-Moslems will become the 1%.

#5  price of oil is down... but the Sauds have diversified and own everything, from second largest stake in News Corp after Rupert, to major retailers and supermarkets, hotels, insurance and banking. They own huge slabs of the world market. The questions is - this mafia family has ruled Saudi Arabia and left the majority living in the 6th Century Wahhabist heaven envisioned by Said Qutb.

Diversity means that when it truly hits the fan, the Soddys will chuck those properties like a hand grenade.

They have let clerics flourish who support the taliban and worldwide jihadi action - but more dangerously they are attacking our societies from within

In australia we now have an Islamic religious tax on all our food known as 'halal certification'. if you try to speak out you are a 'racist' who might damage exports. The funds go to build mosques and spread islam.

so they are taxing our food production chain.

you would have the same in the US. they have been trying it on in the UK

doesn't matter that violates your freedom of and from religion every time you shop for groceries

$27,000 a month paid by abattoirs. Unknown amounts paid by Kellogg's, Mars, Mondelez Foods etc etc

#3  Nothing says recovery like putting the patient on a respirator.

#2  Lots of assassinations and did-not-finish-es in his family tree. If the pot is getting smaller, the incentive to grab the throne and thinning the camel herd is stronger. That or drive a cab somewhere might be the choices. Or move to Vegas and do Frank Zappa tributes. This could be fun.

#1  So the US becomes the worlds leading oil exporter sending prices down, and down. The King resigns. Its gonna get messy over there. I predict a lot of princes take what they can get and get out of the way.
