Bloomberg: Prince Al Waleed to CNN on oil: “We don’t want the West to go & find alternatives”
Edited on Sat May-28-11 03:48 PM by rhombus


“We don’t want the West to go and find alternatives,” Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi King Abdullah, said in an interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” scheduled for broadcast tomorrow. “The higher the price of oil goes, the more they have incentives to go and find alternatives.”

When will the West wise up to this addiction? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

2. Plaster that quote everywhere.
Play up the Arabic connection, the wish to keep "the West" (us) dependent on them. Connect to the ostentatious display of the Saudi royals' lifestyle, connect to the lifestyle excesses in Dubai -- "that you pay for every time you tank up your Hummer, Mr. Freeper!"

That'll bring the RW on board to finding alternatives if anything ever can.

7. That is why they want to keep prices low enough so we stay addicted.
And we are crying for them to do so. And we curse the speculators. I say they do us a favor by letting us have a glimpse of the future we know is coming, yet giving us relief.

8. What an odious little creep.
Does he think he's sitting on some kind of throne or something? How pathetic. I wish there was a hell so jerks like him could burn in it.

11. May he recieve his just rewards, as he will.

And hopes for compassion and mercy for him on that day. As all should have compassion and mercy.

But also justice. Here is the funny thing, what do you do with someone, and I am not actually talking about him, but the representation of the idea of grandiose luxury.

What do you do, when they cannot conceive of the errors?


I think that form of luxury, thinks in Highlander form, and likes ideas of existence from that doctrine.

Highlander- there can be only one

For those that don't know, one is also many.


And I believe in 123 ideas.

The three Castes of the council of 9.

Soul, heart, mind.

The three defenses.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Spiritual power, Love in heart, The inspired writings of many people.
