    Should be on CNN in an hour or so.

    Weird stuff is happening in RIyadh for the past 30 minutes. This time I am not in middle of the coupe. My resources are there though. Dang!

    Only thing I can find is a toy drone was shot down near the palace.

    More than that. My friend said they lost internet in Saudi Arabia. A drone won’t do this. Maybe it was a failed attempt. We shall see. Still nothing on CNN as far as I see. I am on my phone so not sure what’s out there at the moment.

    Everything I'm seeing is a toy drone was shot down and there's a lot of exaggerated stories being shared like coup attempts. Nothing about internet outages either.

    What does twitter say? Like I said. My source is my friend in Riyadh. He heard a lot of gun fire and his friends also think either this was an assasination attempt or a coupe. No idea what’s going on. For now I will edit the thread title. :)

    Most of Twitter is people just saying they heard gunfire and speculating. All major news networks internationally are saying it was a toy drone.

    Well something happened for sure. But the extent is unknown. Looks like things are back to normal.

    In 1999 I was in Riyadh to buy some cable and a guy walked up to us in a parking lot trying to sell some pirated Microsoft OS disks.

    I swear he looked just like Sasha Baron Cohen but with totally fucked up teeth.

    Illuminati confirmed.

    Well on the heels of the recent Frontline episode about Iran/Saudi Arabia I believed it.

    Saudi Arabia government has been a coalition of many powerful tribes. The crown prince M.Bin Salman and his father current King has destabilized this coalition after abrupt arrests last year. I don't think Saudi will stay as it is and the tribes didn't say their last word. Things will get interesting down the road. :)

    I just got a random text telling me to buy Ray Bans. Coincidence?










    Btw there appears to be a coup attempt at the Saudi royal palace.

    Good.

    Current crown Prince is pro America. Some tribes in the coalition is anti America. But both pro and anti American tribes hate the Iran influence in the region. I am on my phone. Can write more tomorrow if you have more questions. :)
