A Couple (more) VTs 2-21-16… “US politicals serving Israel” and “Get ready for ‘Collapse of the Saudi Kingdom'”

Well, I’ve put out one VT already, from Preston James, so here are two more that kind of “hit the mark” (my mark, that is).

Entire US political establishment serving Israel: Analyst (Kevin Barrett) (view the PressTV video here)

“The entire political establishment in the United States has been serving Israel for decades, an American scholar and political analyst says. Dr. Kevin Barrett of Veterans Today, editor of We Are Not Charlie Hebdo and scholar of Arabic and Islamic studies, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Saturday while commenting on a statement by US Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, who has that if elected, he will ignore Palestinians and serve Israel.

“…the news “should come as no surprise, because that’s precisely what virtually the entire political establishment here in the United States has been doing for many years, even for decades.”

““It’s a very bizarre situation. One is really at a loss in looking at history to try to find another situation in which the leaders and the prospective leaders of a great power were falling all over themselves, declaring that they were loyal to a smaller and extremely globally unpopular power across the seas.””

Start Preparing for the Collapse of the Saudi Kingdom

“Saudi Arabia is no state at all. It’s an unstable business so corrupt to resemble a criminal organization and the U.S. should get ready for the day after.

“In a sea of chaos, goes the refrain, the kingdom is one state that’s stable… Saudi Arabia is no state at all. There are two ways to describe it: as a political enterprise with a clever but ultimately unsustainable business model, or so corrupt as to resemble in its functioning a vertically and horizontally integrated criminal organization. Either way, it can’t last.

“Several factors predetermine the collapse of the current Saudi Arabian ruling monarchy, according to Defense One. The first is that it operates more as a “family business” than an actual state, where the king, aka the CEO, converts oil into payoffs to buy political and military loyalty. It is widely accepted that the system is corrupt and cannot endure.

“Saudi citizens have begun to show hints of discontent with the heavy-handed ruling elite, especially those members of the Shiite minority. The highly educated Sunni majority is also showing dissatisfaction with the cake crumbs it is accustomed to receiving. And Saudi officials, exploiting ‘guest workers’ who currently heavily outnumber citizens and may soon see those indentured servants begin to claim rights.”
