  This chapter starts out precisely as the pimping part implies. John had someone he knew would fulfill Prince W's wishes. Blonde, blue eyes, and gorgeous. She was legally married to a pilot who had his own extra activities on the side. We're all adults so let's leave it there. When the time came for the prince to return to Saudi he had one request: Sally becomes his mistress. In Saudi. This was a no go for her. John found out that this was a common practice. A prince or other high-ranking Saudi man would have numerous wives and a mistress at his expense. There were even brokerage firms for this service. A contract will be made between the man and the foreign woman. She lives in Saudi until he tires of her. Then she returns home very wealthy.  During the 1970s this relationship between Riyadh and Washington DC would deepen and eventually come back to bite Americans on the ass. I am talking about 9/11. In 2003 a report from Vanity Fair came out with some details regarding th...

  John talks about his first trip to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. His driver showed him around. John's driver told him he could leave his stuff in the car open for all to see and no one would ever think of stealing. Anybody who has ever read Jean Sasson's Princess trilogy knows that Saudi takes capital punishment seriously. Thieves will lose their hands. NO joke! The driver offered to take John to Chop Chop Square. It's where beheadings take place. Given the name 'Chop Chop Square. John declined as any normal person would.  This brings us to the oil embargo of the 1970s. This caused the cost of oil products to rise. I vaguely remember my parents complaining. But my late mom complained about everything so for my dad to have complained about it, I knew it was serious. The embargo was over America's blind following of Israel. John documented how he was part of the team responsible for the modernization of Saudi. The Prince W he worked with showed  how this woul...

  We are on the fourth of seven deadly sins. The ones covered so far are Vainglory or Pride and Greed. Seven Deadly Sins 4: Wrath Ephesians 4:31  Ephesians speaks of how we should rid ourselves of our anger and bitterness.   This is when we give in to our anger. It’s easy to anger. Seriously! My late parents are a great example of this. My mom would fly off the handle at every little thing. A piece of dust could send her spiraling. My dad, however, was the opposite. It took a lot more to anger him to the point his face would turn red. And start swearing. Usually, swearing was my mom’s job because she was good at it.  Now let’s look at which of the Ten Commandments this breaches.  There are four commandments that could be related here:  You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. You shall not kill. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not commit adultery. Virtue Patience. Again my late father was patient. My m...

  We are almost halfway through December and the insanity keeps going. This part of the month we saw the following items that just irritated me to no end. Prisoner Swap. We swapped a high-value Russian prisoner in an American prison for a basketball player in a Russian prison for possession of TCB which is illegal in Russia. Viktor Bout was accused of running guns in Thailand. He was illegally expedited to America. By all reason had he been guilty, then that was Thailand’s problem. And gun-running. Really! The American government does worst than this before noon every day. As I said, we swapped a high-value Russian for a basketball player. Paul Whelan has been in a Russian prison for spying since Trump was Presidental Puppet. He never spoke of the man in any meetings he had with Russian officials. Think about what this says to our American Military and those who like Rudy at Alaska Prepper choose to serve in our military rather than their birth nation. It says Americans value ridic...

  We are currently discussing Iran everywhere. Yeah! Why is America so anti-Iran? John talks about the Mossadegh struggle. This was a CIA-backed and funded movement to put the Shah in office. They didn't care that he was a greedy narcissistic lunatic. He was "their greedy narcissistic lunatic." That's all they care about. After the late 1970s, the citizens of Iran hit a point where enough was enough. They seized control of Iran and sent the Shah packing with his family. Anywhere but in Iran. In the 1960s OPEC was formed. Iran was a part. However, after the citizens took ownership of their country and its resources back, they were kicked out. Thus an eight-year war between Iran and Iraq began.  Ever since the OPEC nations and the CIA have been trying to control Iran's government. Sore losers! Here's something I didn't know about until I read this book. WW II gave way to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the General Agreement on Tariffs ...

My fellow Americans, this video with Patrick Lancaster shows the terrorism our tax dollars are going for. Patrick Lancaster

  We are on the third of seven deadly sins. The ones covered so far are Vainglory or Pride and Greed. Seven Deadly Sins  3: Envy Commonly known as jealousy. This trips people up all the time since the beginning of time. The show Deadly Women on Investigation Discovery is filled with stories in which envy got the best of someone. History, in general, is full of stories about jealousy winning over common sense.  Now let’s look at which of the Ten Commandments this breaches.  10. Thou shall not covet.  I do believe these two are very similar.  Virtue Satisfaction Being satisfied with what you have and being thankful.  https://youtu.be/2ePZD7PBDgU
