1998 Media Coverage of the Rule of al-Saud House
OCTOBER 1998 NEWS
 | Afghan Taleban consider trying Bin
Laden (October 7, 1998) Prince Saud
al-Faisal exerted pressure on the Taleban to show the world that the
Taleban are not in agreement with the bombings of US embassies around
the world. The Taleban acquiesced once they recognize the game al-Saud
are trying to play. If this story was supposed to ease the west, it
may give rise to extreme Wahabbi sect in Saudi Arabia that supports
the Taleban and bin Laden. The news was first reported by al-Hayat, a
Saudi newspaper, which is 100% owned by Saudi money (Prince Khalid bin
Sultan). At a budget of $18million a year, al-Hayat looses
approximately $15million a year. Its purpose is to voice al-Saud
opinion using the non diplomatic and political official channels.

SEPTEMBER 1998 NEWS
| U.S. MAKING SAME MISTAKES IN SAUDI ARABIA
IT MADE IN IRAN, Los Angeles Times - William Pfaff, September
1, 1998 Provided by a CACSA supporter. History repeats itself once
more. A new leader will emerge (if Naef does not throw him in prison
or assassinate him) that will work with western interests but not at
the expense of the national interests. |
| Saudis
secretly funding Taliban, The Independent - Robert Fisk, September
2, 1998 The Saudis are supporting the
extremist Taliban in Afghanistan who are harboring Osama bin Laden.
Iran is about to invade Afghanistan because of Taliban's mudering of
10 Iranian diplomats. The US, who has made bin Laden, wants him now
yet it is supporting al-Saud who are supporting the regime protecting
bin Laden. The UU is seeking rapproachement with Iran and so are
al-Saud. Confused? Don't be. This is international politics where
interests reign and friendshis are meaningless. |
| Water
Shortages Hit Saudi Cities, AP Online, September
1, 1998 Abdul Aziz bin Fahd has been known in the past to sell
water to residents of the major cities when heat is at its peak and
demand is high. They instruct water desalination plants not to supply
water and then sell that water to the citizens at exhorbitant prices.
Just another form of corruption that al-Saud have mastered as rulers
of Saudi Arabia. |
| Saudi
Arabia trying to protect its economy from "instability",
AFP, September 8, 1998 This claim was quoted by
Sultan bin Abdul Aziz. CACSA has two comments to make: 1) Who has
charged Sultan, a defense expert, with making this claim? 2) Sultan
and his brothers are the reason why Saudi Arabia's economy is in such
disarray. With Abdullah not making it official who his crown prince
will be when he takes over as king, Sultan is trying to impose his
statemanship on all Saudis. |

Systems Announces Partnership With Saudi Arabian Trading Company,
Business Wire, September 9, 1998 While
the country suffers under the weight of inamaginable financial woes,
al-saud are still spending money on security issues to keep their
strong hold onto a weak regime and a weaker country because of their
policies and over arching negative rule. |
| Saudi
King Fahd urges restraint in Iran-Afghan row (September 7, 1998) According
to our sources, King Fahd has instigated the killing of 10 Iranian
diplomats by the Wahabbi Talebans to foment trouble between two Muslim
countries both of which need to be controlled. Fahd would love to see
Iran invade Afghanistan the way he encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade
Iran. So sick, so out of government, yet has the time and stamina to
conspire against other Muslims.

| BOEING
EXEC: SAUDI BUY KEY TO SURVIVAL OF F-15 LINE (September 15, 1998) Bandar
bin Sultan, due to the economic situation and lack of funds, has been
unable to commit for this purchase. As predicted by CACSA in 1996, the
US companies are not satisfied with a simple 'no' answer. They have
started resorting to high publicity pressure. These tactics will
eventually move to a full fledged adverserial confrontation that may
end up for further erosion of al-Saud influence in the US. This is the
beginning of the end of al-Saud.

| BAe
facing Pounds 500m Saudi shortfall (September 13, 1998)
"The shortfall has been caused by the slump in the price of oil,
which the Saudis use to finance purchases under the Pounds 20 billion,
10-year Al Yamamah programme. At present, 600,000 barrels a day is
dedicated to Al Yamamah, but that oil buys much less than it did
because of the price fall." To dedicate 600,000 barrels a
day for the purchase of airplanes exemplifies the lack of
accountability on behalf of a family buying arms to protect itself
against inside threats using public funds.

near end of seven-year wait to surf the Net, AFP, July
15, 1998 It is taking al-Saud seven years to decide whether they

that its use will be very limited and inefficient. What shall we

that they lost, have plagued their government through an inconsistent

funny part about this announcement is that it does not discuss any
details of the expansion of the mobile network, which would have given
a hint to the amount of commissions that will be paid by Lucent to

CACSA that Lucent has a high profit margin in this contract. |
