JULY 20, 1997 : King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh awarded an operation contract to GAMA-Harvard for the amount of SR 6billion ($1.8b). GAMA is owned by al-Athil (a relative of the Ibrahim family and the Saudi behind the WESTLAND Scandal ) and our beloved Prince Bandar. When Prince Abdullah became King after King Fahd yielded his powers on Jan.1, 1996, he canceled this contract and instead tried to pay the money to Saudi farmers Bandar immediately went into action and with the Ibrahims convinced Fahd to recapture his powers from Abdullah which he did. Bandar's stake is a cool $180 million.

JULY 17, 1997 : An old hospital in Makkah (Ajiad), not far from Alharam, was supposed to be re-built completely by the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia. As the ministry was breaking ground, Abdul Aziz bin Fahd presents the same Ministry with ownership papers (SAKK) showing that he owned the land under the hospital. The Ministry had no choice but to pay him for a land that the government had owned for years. What is the difference between this action and the MAFIA action anywhere around the world?

JULY 14, 1997 : Rumors are abound in Riyadh that King Fahd is ready to step down and let Prince Abdullah rule. On January 1, 1996, Fahd stepped down only to recant few days later after Sultan has asked him to wait to get an understanding with Abdullah on what needs to be done. This understanding has been struck this spring and Fahd will step down in September. No great changes will take place as a result of this move except that Prince Saud al-Faisal will consolidate his powers which will weaken Bandar in Washington. Bandar will eventually become another Adnan Khashoggi turning his connections into business deals for himself and his father.

JULY 5, 1997 : Khalid bin Mahfouz has been active lately buying Lebanese businesses. His latest conquest, using Saudi public funds, is the Credit Libanais for $168 million. Sources close to the deal have confirmed to CACSA that bin Mahfouz is buying for King Fahd and also that the bank will be used to penetrate the Lebanese market in real estate, stock manipulations, and laundering of money. Bin Mahfouz BCCI investment has landed him in hot water with US authorities. This investment won't as the Lebanese government is controlled by none other than Rafic Hariri, a Saudi puppet.

JUNE 20, 1997 : Bandar's quietness and lack of media attention stems from the disappointment the CIA and the FBI had with him not coming through on allowing the FBI to interview directly any of the 300 rounded by Naef bin Abdul Aziz, the Minister of Interior and accused by the Minister to be involved in the plot to bomb the Khobar towers. Bandar has been playing both sides of the equation and is slowly being discovered by both parties. After 13 years of being an Ambassador, his naivete and lack of experience are clearly shown if one looks at his record smattered with inconsistencies and an erratic behavior. He may have won small battles, but he is losing the war.

JUNE 13, 1997 : CACSA has learned that Prince Majid bin Abdul Aziz, the prince of Makkah and the drunkard of the al-Saud family, has been forcefully appropriating old people properties in the city of Makkah and taking over their deeds (Sakk). Old women and old men living in the city had to give up their houses with no compensation to Majid for no reason other than the value of these properties some of which overlook the Holy Kaabah. Al-Saud rule continues and business is as usual.

JUNE 9, 1997 : CACSA has learned that the deportation of al-Sayegh has been handled by none other than Bandar himself. The proposition made to al-Sayegh is the following: If you cooperate, we will let the United States seek your deportation to the US here you will spend your life in prison there. If you do not, we will seek your deportation in Riyadh where you will for sure die from torture. Cooperation is on al-Sayegh's mind however, his lawyers are looking for assurances from the United States that he will not be re-deported to Saudi Arabia after he cooperates. The US is willing to give these assurances however Bandar is blocking it because the intention is eventually to behead him publicly at any cost.

JUNE 2, 1997 : The jockeying for power continues to be the main pastime of all the senior Sudeiris after they have come to the realization that Prince Abdullah, a non Sudeiri, will become the next king. They are extending the life of king Fahd for as long as possible hoping that Abdullah's health will fail in due time. Meanwhile, the second generation princes such as Bandar bin Sultan have been working on how to spend the windfall profits the country has managed in the latest round of high price oil revenues the national treasury generated in the first half of this year. Officials at the Ministry of Finance are privately complaining of the pressure being placed on the treasury from unnecessary programs.

MAY 24, 1997 : The pressure is mounting on Saudi Arabia to deliver REAL results from their investigation of the Khobar Tower bombing. CACSA has learned that the FBI agents in the office in Riyadh have turned the faucet on and had a barrage of requests from their counterparts in the Ministry of Interior immediately after the Hajj season. CACSA also learned that Prince Naef himself clears any and all documents that are submitted to the FBI's office. The FBI has tried to clarify some of the investigative tidbits bits they have been receiving from Naef without any success. Read Death by Deportation? by Aziz Abu Hamad to get a sense of CACSA's position.

MAY 19, 1997 : Thinktank organizations are starting to pay attention to dissident organizations whose charter it is to topple the al-Saud rule. The US is slowly realizing that keeping al-Saud dormant with assurances yet checking all options is the right move in a post Soviet threat era. Bandar's roaming the corridor of powers in Riyadh has left the door wide open for proper thinking in a free Saudi lobbying environment. As the CIA is attempting to find a new enemy, some young blood is thinking stabilization using powerful tools at hand rather than finding a new identity and an umbrella to work in Washington. Octogenarian leaders in Saudi Arabia hardly understand the valueless hand fate has dealt them with one superpower in place. Is Zaire a testing ground?

MAY 7, 1997 : A behind the scenes lobbying and political maneuvering is underway by Bandar bin Sultan to "take control" of Hani al-Sayegh in Canada denying the US access to him the way Naef has denied the FBI access to the other "supposed suspects". Saudi Arabia does not wish to have its dirty laundry washed in public and will do anything to stop the publicity that could be generated from extradition of Hani to the US. If this happens, the media will have a field day and the feast will be Bandar bin Sultan whose amateurish appearance on "This week with David Brinkley" in 1996 is still remembered by many.

MAY 5, 1997 : The US is convinced of the lack of Saudi cooperation on the investigation in the bombing of the Khobar Towers is the work of Naef bin Abdul Aziz who is afraid that the US knowledge of the true reasons for the bombing may implicate other supposedly "friendly" nations. The Saudis do not mind that Iran may be implicated because it serves their political purposes, but they are afraid that if other countries could be implicated because it serves US interests, that it may hurt them in the long run. The bombing is being used to serve the interests of different camps.

MAY 5, 1997 : Bandar's double edge sword has been working overtime lately in anticipation of Fahd's death. He has allied himself with Mohammad bin Fahd politically, Saud al-Faisal by marriage, and his father Sultan by serving his US needs. Other powers at play within the royal family do not want him involved in politics anymore as they understand that his strong US ties will always be a liability and an extra baggage amongst the Wahabbi controlled government of Saudi Arabia. As he works the tents, he is facing more and more criticism because of his US lobbying style.

APRIL 24, 1997 : There has been a concerted effort, ordered by Naef bin Abdul Aziz, to disclose the wrong number of dead in the latest disaster in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The aim is to dilute the scope of the disaster by showing that the number was not that great. Already, various countries have disputed publicly the numbers announced by Naef. What a shame to smear Islam and Moslems just for the publicity it brings.

APRIL 15, 1997 : RSAF pilots stationed in Saudi Arabia have been complaining about flying the Tornado Interceptor due to high maintenance and general rapid wear and tear. These pilots have had to petition Prince Sultan telling him of these problems as the chain of command at RSAF kept this under lid for fear to upset
Prince Sultan. As a result of that petition Prince Sultan promised the pilots better and faster airplanes in the near future. An unverifiable tip to CACSA indicated that younger pilots will use the Tornado Interceptors and pilots with more experience and more loyalty to al-Saud will use the US made F15-e and the F-16s airplanes. It is important to note here that RSAF pilots on training exercises unrelated to enforcing the no-fly zones in Southern Iraq are not allowed to carry live ammunitions. The Sudeiri seven are so fearful of an RSAF coup that their palaces are all equipped with Stinger Missiles. The Tornado contract has cost Saudi Arabia close to $40 billion.

APRIL 3, 1997 : King Fahd's health, CACSA has learned, is deteriorating rapidly in light of his heart trouble. Unconfirmed reports from Saudi Arabia have alluded that he is rarely seen except by very close members of his family and that his imminent death is fast approaching.

APRIL 2, 1997 : CACSA has been subjected to a deluge of people from all walks of life wanting to help and cooperate. The interesting thing is that these people are of high caliber who work for the Saudi Intelligence in the US. Good luck Bandar.

MARCH 28, 1997 : During Prince Sultan's visit to Washington, several unscheduled meetings (four in total) took place between Sultan and Vice President Gore. The meetings were arranged by Bandar attempting to position a two-would-be-hopeful-future-leaders of their respective countries to get acquainted and to chat. For four meetings to happen in 3 day span, Sultan is betting on Gore's support to maintain his status quo and Gore is betting on Sultan's DNC funding in the year 2000. Tomorrow's scandals are brewing today.

MARCH 18, 1997 : Adel Jubair, Bandar's senior political advisor, has met with Dory Gold, Natanyahu's top political advisor in Paris on February 28, 1997 at the Ritz to discuss the F16-s deal and issues related to the internal security of Saudi Arabia. Many other figures were present in that meeting. CACSA encourages publicizing these meetings hoping it will bring Bandar out of the "closet".

MARCH 16, 1997 : Some members of the royal family visited President Clinton at the hospital when in fact very few people have access to him. A tip to CACSA noted correctly that only Bandar as the representative of the corrupt government has the right to visit. But in Saudi Arabia, all princes consider themselves as diplomats and as representatives of the government of Saud Arabia. And in this instance representatives of the family that owns the country.

MARCH 8, 1997 : Six new Saudi members have joined CACSA in February with the intention of volunteering their time to spread the word about the aim of the organization. CACSA welcomes these new members to our growing family.

FEBRUARY 23, 1997 : The understanding that al-Sauds had with Rabbin and Peres was put to test by a hawkish Natanyahu who does not believe, no matter how friendly the al-Sauds are to Israel, that they should allow them military superiority or even equality. The US is caught between strategic economic values and strategic military values. One thing for sure, Israel does not care a bit about a family which epitomizes autocracy, maliciousness, and hypocrisy.

FEBRUARY 23, 1997 : Since the summer of 1996, King Fahd has attempted to launch an anti democracy campaign that would support the al-Sauds view that they are God's chosen leaders to rule Saudi Arabia. Using the Majlis al-Shura (a mouthpiece of His Majesty), Fahd is running a campaign to demonstrate that democracy is anti Islamic. Supporting these views is Sheik Jubeir, a puppet spokesperson of al-Sauds and father of Adel Jubeir, the Congressional Liaison for the Embassy in Washington D.C. It all runs in the family. The father, under an Islamic veil, cements al-Sauds hold onto power and al-Sauds in return cement his son's position with them.

FEBRUARY 13, 1997 : Sultan's trip to Washington is fast approaching. He is expected in Washington around the 21st of February just in time for our second issue of the newsletter. Sultan wants to get assurances from Washington that in following up with the footsteps of his older brother Fahd (Contracts galore), he will get Washington's support to retain his second in command post should Abdullah become king. The whole trip is a kiss and tell with Sultan kissing up to Washington. The whole contract is a fraud as Saudi Arabia cannot afford these weapons nor can it manage it given its size and internal capabilities. CACSA gives Sultan credit for being the true Sultan everyone knows.

FEBRUARY 9, 1997 : Bandar bin Sultan is back in town during the first days of the Islamic Eid-el-Fitr to prepare for the early arrival of his father Sultan to Washington to sign the purchase of 102 F16-2 agreement with Lockheed Martin and to visit with President Clinton at the White House. Bandar has already met during the weekend with his close advisers to discuss a variety of issues among them CACSA's newsletter. He is to meet soon with top executives at Lockheed Martin to impose the $3.2 billion of services ghost Saudi companies are to undertake for this project. CACSA will ask Congress to investigate the payments schedules disbursed by Lockheed Martin under this contract.

FEBRUARY 7, 1997 : CACSA has learned that Bandar bin Sultan has arranged for the payment of $3.2 billion in commissions to bogus companies in Saudi Arabia for contract services that will never be performed. As has happened in the past, fake invoices and man/hour tables will be provided to Lockheed Martin for payment totaling $3.2 billion by the time the contract ends. How much corruption can the Saudi people take? How far will Bandar go before he understands the limit to the our patience?

FEBRUARY 1, 1997 : Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz is arriving to Washington on March 24, 1997 to sign a multi billion Dollar contract to buy more jet fighters that Saudi Arabia does not even have enough pilots to man. This contract will place Saudi Arabia in further debt than it already is. Its sole purpose is to buy long term protection for the Sudeiri seven to remain in control. CACSA does not oppose the purchase but opposes the purpose and the product itself. While Israel builds advanced technologies, we are still buying and spending instead of investing for our future.

JANUARY 31, 1997 : Saudi Arabia buys US silence on terrorism on its oil, human rights abuses, and continuance protection of an expired royal family with a new $30 billion contract to buy 100 new F-16s jet fighters. We will be watching how much commissions will be paid and we have a nice surprise for Sultan when he comes here in march to sign the deal. Whether we need these planes or not is irrelevant and inconsequential to this family. They are squandering the wealth of a nation away.

JANUARY 27, 1997 : CACSA mails out its first printed newsletter in an effort to increase awareness of the organization's aims and goals. The first issue is highlighted by two new articles that do not appear on the Internet site. The audience for the newsletter are seasoned politicians and power brokers who operate behind the scenes in Washington.

JANUARY 18, 1997 : CACSA has been receiving tips concerning the donations made by Saudi Arabia to the DNC (Democratic National Committee). Front men have been used to donate large sums of money to further causes that are dear to the royal family such as protection of the al-Saud and continuation of US military programs and arms sales. . Many large newspapers are investigating these donations and soon, we will see an explosion of stories involving Bandar bin Sultan, our highly respected and dignified Ambassador.

JANUARY 18, 1997 : The top 10 countries with the largest defense budgets (for 1993) are:

1.) US $323,500,000,000
2.) Russia $52,500,000,000
3.) UK $42,000,000,000
4.) Germany $39,500,000,000
5.) Japan $36,700,000,000
6.) France $33,100,000,000
7.) Italy $22,700,000,000
8.) China $15,000,000,000
9.) Saudi Arabia $14,500,000,000
10.) South Korea $12,600,000,000

One tip remarked : The only country that spends that much money and needed the rest of the world to protect it is Saudi Arabia. All the rest are self sufficient and can defend themselves. Why : Because up to 40% of that money gets pocketed by Prince Sultan, Bandar bin Sultan, Abdul Aziz bin Fahd, Wafic Said, and other smaller fish who front for al-Saud.

JANUARY 13, 1997 : The indicted banker Khalid Bin Mahfouz has allegedly invested $750 million in the Washington based venture called WorldSpace, Inc through his deputy general manager at the Mahfouz owned Saudi National Commercial Bank: Saleh al-Din Idriss? No surprise WolrdSpace chairman Noah Samara refuses to discuss the ownership structure with the media. This organization allegedly plans to dominate satellite radio throughout the middle east, Africa, Latin America and the far east - do the DC authorities and the international broadcasting community know that the disgraced personal banker of King Fahd is the real owner? Or is it the Sudeiri Seven ?

JANUARY 9, 1997 : Information from the (Saudi Strategic Storage Programme) SSSP Project. The chairman of this project is Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, Second Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Aviation (one more title). The main contractor is the Swedish ABV Rock Group. Mohammed Al-Amoudi, who is a front man for Sultan. Al-Amoudi is the official sponsor of ABV Rock Group in Saudi Arabia. He is also partner to none other than Khalid bin Mahfouz, who was indicted in the BCCI scandal. Bin Mahfouz' attempt at buying OK Petroleum, a Swedish oil company, in Sweden failed after the government refused his request. Now Mohammed Al-Amoudi is the official owner of OK Petroleum and other Swedish companies valued at more than 12 billions SEK! ($1.7 billion). Apparently, Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz is trying to circumvent the laws in Sweden by using another front man. Who really owns these companies? The Sudeiri Seven investment portfolio.

JANUARY 9, 1997 : Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz, an indicted Saudi citizen in the BCCI affair, is trying to re-launch a campaign against the US prosecutor who brought the indictment against him. Khalid bin Mahfouz has been asked by King Fahd to undertake this effort in anticipation of further PERSONAL indictments in the future that could affect his sons and immediate family. Sheik Mahfouz is the personal banker and investment advisor to King Fahd.

JANUARY 7, 1997 : A new campaign by the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to "bury" our site in a sea of other Saudi sites has been waging for over six months. The attempt is to register inconsequential sites that are the government mouthpieces with search engines such as Yahoo and Excite. The ploy is not working as word of mouth is increasing our traffic all the time. What Bandar bin Sultan does not realize is that researchers and interested parties will find us because they need to know the truth.
