Russia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cia.gov\/library\/publications\/the-world-factbook\/rankorder\/2241rank.html\"><span class=\"s3\">competes with Saudi Arabia as the world\u2019s top oil-and-gas producer<\/span><\/a>, and it\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/247wallst.com\/special-report\/2012\/04\/18\/the-worlds-most-resource-rich-countries\/3\/\"><span class=\"s3\">the #1 power for all natural resources combined<\/span><\/a>. And the Saudi-U.S. alliance, which rules NATO and \u201cthe West\u201d (Europe and Japan), are determined to conquer and grab those Russian assets for themselves, so that the aristocracies which are allied to the U.S. aristocracy will control these assets, and aristocracies which aren\u2019t U.S.-allied won\u2019t. But the U.S. is really just a \u2018democratic\u2019 front for the Saud family, in the final analysis. And the Sauds were aristocrats even before the United States existed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Further evidence confirming the same view as Engdahl presents is provided by Joe Giambone\u2019s superb article at International Policy Digest on 29 November 2015,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.internationalpolicydigest.org\/2015\/11\/29\/why-isis-exists-the-double-game\/\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhy ISIS Exists: The Double Game.\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0One of the articles linked-to there quotes Saudi Prince Bandar as saying, \u201cThe Syrian regime is finished as far as we and the majority of\u00a0the\u00a0Syrian people are concerned. [The Syrian people] will not\u00a0allow\u00a0President Bashar al-Assad to remain at the helm.\u201d That\u2019s a bald lie, a knowing falsehood from him, as is documented\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/11\/u-s-demands-there-be-no-democracy-in-syria.html\"><span class=\"s2\">here. Even Western polls show that in a free and fair, internationally monitored election, the Syrian people would overwhelmingly choose Bashar al-Assad over anyone else to lead Syria.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0That\u2019s why U.S. President Obama opposes any such election in Syria, and why Russian President Putin insists that it be held. The non-sectarian, secular (though officially Shiite) President of Syria had held that country peacefully together for more than a decade until CIA and other Western and Sunni-royalty operations in Syria brought thousands of rabid Sunni jihadists into Syria to topple the secular Shiite Assad from power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/11\/americas-great-lie-europes-great-shame-russias-great-case.html\">Here is a brief historical account of how this Saudi-U.S. scheme to conquer Russia started,<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s5\">\u00a0under George Herbert Walker Bush (a Bush by birth who was informally adopted by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/10\/the-saudi-dynasty-key-u-s-ally-tops-the-world-in-barbarism.html\"><span class=\"s6\">the world\u2019s richest family, the Sauds). And here is the type of people they are.<\/span><\/a> In fact: they\u2019re the biggest block against an effective global policy to restrain global warming. Their trillions of dollars of private wealth is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2015\/dec\/08\/saudi-arabia-accused-of-trying-to-wreck-the-paris-climate-deal\"><span class=\"s6\">more important to them than the continuation of a livable planet after they die<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s5\">They care more about their private past than about the entire world\u2019s future. This past means a great deal to them. The Saudi dynasty goes back to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/11\/understanding-the-power-contest-between-aristocracies.html\"><span class=\"s6\">the contract that was agreed-to in the year 1744 between the gangster Muhammad Ibn Saud and the fundamentalist-Islamic cleric Muhammad Ibn Wahhab to create a Saudi-ruled, Wahhabist-religious, extremist-Muslim kingdom, first by exterminating all Shiia Muslims, and then by all Muslims conquering and converting all non-Muslims.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When the U.S. allied with the Saud family back in 1945, no one \u2013 except perhaps the Saudi King himself \u2013 thought that the Sauds and not the U.S. would end up in the driver\u2019s seat. But that seems to be the way things have worked out, because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/11\/americas-great-lie-europes-great-shame-russias-great-case.html\"><span class=\"s3\">the U.S. aristocracy have been and are willing to do anything to conquer and control Russia<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s7\">.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> And the Saud family have used them very skillfully to achieve this goal. But this also means that the U.S. is likewise joined-at-the-hip with the Sauds\u2019 goal, of conquering and controlling Iran and other Shiite-ruled nations (including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2015\/apr\/01\/britain-saudi-attack-yemen-refugees-arms-deal\"><span class=\"s3\">even poor Yemen<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, this is how it came to be that the U.S. is allied with the Sauds and their fundamentalist Sunnis, and that Russia is allied with Iran and all Shiites \u2013 both fundamentalists and not. The U.S. is now a handmaiden to international jihadists. But all the lies are to the contrary, and it\u2019s the lies that are stenographically reported and broadcast in the West as \u2018the news.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/eric-zuesse\/jimmy-carter-is-correct-t_b_7922788.html\">Jimmy Carter was right: the U.S. is now a dictatorship.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A democracy deals with its public as citizens.
