Yeah, it's rather mind boggling, having grown up in the US with the
understanding that Russia is the Criminal Government, anti humanitarian,
and illegally invades and destroys peoples Nationalist propaganda, as it
turns out, to find that, they are the ONLY Major Country that is keeping
Peace in the Middle East.

Saudi Prince Bandar’s second attempt at bribing Russia to
drop support of Syria

As the US-led coalition of the willing inches closer towards
their initial cruise missile and bombing attack on Syria this
week, it seems that their ‘good friend’ Saudi Arabia has been
busy throwing about a series of financial incentives – and
 threats, at the Russian, all in a bid to persuade them to
drop their support of Syria.

On August 10th, 21st Century Wire expanded on a Reuters
news release which reported how Saudi intelligence head,
Prince Bandar bin Sultan offered a $15 billion weapons
contract to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a
meeting on July 31st. Apparently, Russia rebuffed this
rather generous offer, because the deal was dependent
upon Moscow letting go of its existing arms contracts with
the Syrian government in Damascus.

Today, we learned about another possible carrot – and a
potentially nasty stick, also offered by the Prince Bandar.
According to a report in today’s London Telegraph, Saudi
Arabia also secretly offered Russia a chance to ‘control the
world’s oil market’ in some type of strategic alliance between
OPEC and Russia, and to ‘safeguard’ Russia’s present
and pending gas contracts in the Mediterranean – but
again, only if Russia washes its hands of the Assad
regime in Syria.

Talk of war usually rings bells for the oil markets and this
 past week is no exception, with Brent crude prices
reaching a five-month high of $US112 a barrel this week.

It’s pretty clear at this point that Bandar is operating on
behalf of major transnational energy corporations and
interests in Washington DC. The alleged leak reveals a
bold hand being placed on the table by the Prince:

‘‘We understand Russia’s great interest in the oil and
gas in the Mediterranean from Israel to Cyprus. And we
understand the importance of the Russian gas pipeline
 to Europe. We are not interested in competing with that.
We can cooperate in this area,’’ he said, purporting to
speak with the full backing of the US.

The leak then goes on to describe actual threats being
made, with Prince Bandar saying that there can be ‘‘no
escape from the military option’’ should Russia turns
down this Saudi offer. Is he threatening military option
against the Syrians, or is this a veiled threat for a future
confrontation between the West/NATO and Russia?

This explosive leak more or less crystalises the western
allied and Saudi agendas in the region, because events
are currently unfolding exactly as Prince Bandar has foretold.

Here’s where this leak gets really dodgy…

According to the Telegraph report, bundled within this toxic
offer from the elite Arab emissary, is perhaps the most
insidious mafia-style threat heard to date regarding the
Syria crisis. It’s said that Bandar threatened to unleash
his Chechen terrorists in order to shutdown, and possibly
kill civilians at the upcoming 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
He goes on:

‘‘I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics
next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security
of the Games are controlled by us,’’ he allegedly said.

Prince Bandar went on to say that, “Chechens operating in
Syria were a pressure tool that could be switched on and off.”

‘‘We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will
have no role in Syria’s political future.’’

The Saudi end game in Syria was laid bare in our previous
report, as the Prince let slip to the effect, “Whatever regime
comes after Assad will be completely in Riyadh’s hands”.

But here the main point. The Prince reportedly stated that if
his offer is accepted, then Saudi Arabia would not sign any
contracts damaging Russian interests… by ‘allowing Gulf
countries to transport its gas across Syria to Europe’. Yes,
that pipeline – the one which will transport Qatari gas through
Syria, to the Mediterranean. Paid for with Saudi Arabian cash.

This would explain exactly why both the Saudis and Qataris
– both staunch allies of Britain and the US, have been
financing this confab of rebels and terrorist brigades in
Syria for the last two years.

According to previous reports, Bandar himself has been
assigned to personally oversee this operation:

“Saudi intelligence, led by Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin
Abdulaziz, is bringing the militants fighting the Syrian forces
under the umbrella of the al-Nusra Front. The report said Prince
Bandar is organizing these terrorists through Jordan and Lebanon.
“Thanks to funding from the General Intelligence Department
(of Jordan) and support from the Saudi Intelligence in Lebanon,
 al-Nusra was able to swiftly arm its forces, and make the  Syrian
 regime suffer painful blows through its expertise in Iraqi bombings,”
the Intelligence Online report noted. Bandar bin Sultan, who is
Tony Blair’s partner in crime, was made the Saudi intelligence
chief on July 19 at the height of the Syrian crisis, not only to
strengthen the arming of the terrorists against Syria’s Bashar
al-Assad regime, but also to bring to the fore an anti-Assad,
Saudi-run administration in Lebanon, bordering Syria. The
objective is to push more arms and terrorists inside Syria.”

Bandar is not only ‘good friends’ with Tony Blair, he is
considered the closest of family friends with the Bush family,
as well as involved in their global defense and construction
powerhouse the Carlyle Group. His involvement in the
destruction of Syria came as quite a revelation to some
 back in January, but with the evidence coming through
about NATO’s own ‘Fast and Furious’ style illegal weapons
 transfer into Syria via Europe.

And there is your war in a nutshell. Just as with Iraq before it,
this one has been engineered and financed at the highest
 levels, and it certainly has nothing to do with the ‘horror of
chemical weapons’, or a humanitarian intervention. It has
everything to do with threats, bribes and backhanders used
 to nail down the future gas supplies to Europe and the global
oil markets – and of course, it’s also about the dollar.

Will it be propped up, or will it be allowed to drop to its true
value?

We can’t answer that question yet (who can?), but we are
pretty well sure that arms sales reps Barack Obama and
 David Cameron, along with their trusty sidekicks, John Kerry,
John McCain and William Hague – are blowing pure smoke
to a mostly naive public regarding Assad and Syria.
