"The Empire Files: The Real House of Saud" - Abby Martin

The House of Saud is one of the most vicious, oppressive, and brutal governments in the world.

Abby Martin is one of the foremost investigative reporters in the world and this explains why she gets so little coverage in the U.S.  Much of the material she presents runs counter to anything from convenience store news from CNN or Fox but there's little reason to believe either of those channels when they flaunt their biases so brazenly.





In one of the most satanic appointments of this time, someone from Saudi Arabia is heading a panel in the UNHRC, the U.N.'s human rights commission.

The perverse relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is an obvious and obscene thing but less obvious is Saudi military spending is not much less than spent by Russia.  Much of the military purchasing goes to the U.S. and the White House has said specifically it would intervene in the case of revolution to overturn the despotic leaders of the country.  This level of engagement with such an oppressive power doesn't speak well to any consistency in foreign policy from America.
