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 would look. It took eight months. John worked independently from his team because of the security of this project. Everyone involved knew it was a money laundering program. But if you or I launder the money we go to prison. If these lunatics do it it's business as usual. Hypocrisy and bullshit!!!!
