Gold and oil spiking and recovering the losses they took earlier in the day on speculation that things were calming down.

Tomorrow is the first Saudi day of rage planned, March 20th is the second.

Don’t screw with the Foj, or they’ll shoot and bury without blinking. Saudi Arabia is not Bahrain.

Saudi police open fire at protest
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/7466055.html

A witness in the eastern city of Qatif says gunfire and stun grenades were fired at several hundred protesters marching in the city streets Thursday. The witness, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared government reprisal, said police in the area opened fire.

The Saudis are not our friends. Hopefully the House of Saud will get what they deserve. some idiots here thinks the Saudis are the good guys. They put the muslim in the white hut.

Believing that the Sauds are strong and in control, and their replacements would be worse, is not the same as thinking they are the good guys.

I recommend everyone fill up their tanks and get some extra.

Oil will go to $200 if the corrupt Saudi regime starts killing Shiites in the eastern oil producing regions of Saudi Arabia.
