More Saudi coup emails

 Sorry Sorry Sorry 

In my haste I omitted the url to the latest Wilbur Ross Posting



I also promised a full posting on the Saudi Coup.Not had time.
I am tied up most of today but will try to get something out this evening my time.
I am not sure it will not be over taken by the counter coup.

Before I leave for meetings a few quick additional points

1. I awoke to this from the London Times: 
"Trump backs Saudi Arabia’s royal family hours after corruption purge"

Its not clear that the times has this correct.
In addition,it has an  editorial column which seems to think whats going on has something to do with corruption.
So the KIng's Court does not take this Murdoch rag seriously at this point.

In any event Trumpski in his demented ignorance backed Saudi in its spat with Qatar after his State Department criticised it and offered to mediate.
If he takes side with  bin Salman on this before State has had a chance to sort out what is happening then
  a] Rex [I used to rule Exxon] Tillerson should  resign already.
  b] World's journalists should get their act together to unravel Prince Mohammad's financial support of Trump's business interests.

It is notable that one of those arrested is billionaire investor Prince [the Saudi Warren Buffet] Alwaleed bin Talal. It may be noted that Alwaleed has invested billions in the USA ;not least he is the largest shareholder in Citibank

 Despite many solicitations and proposals he has eschewed making any investments with Trumpski businesses. Not a nickel.

2.In December 2016 the German security services caused a major diplomatic problem with this 

The Independant-London "Prince Mohammed bin Salman: Naive, arrogant Saudi prince is playing with fire. German intelligence memo shows the threat from the kingdom’s headstrong defense minister"
