“The larger issue that Saudi Arabia is grappling with is the growing paranoia of the ruling Saud family, a family that is in aggregate worth trillions. The riches come from a 1971 deal that the Saud family made with the US, to trade oil only for dollars, which cemented both the abrogation of the gold standard and the creation of the dollar-reserve currency. The deal the Saud family made was far larger than just an economic one, however. The Western power elite behind it pretty much endorsed the Saud’s larger power structure, including the fundamentalist Wahhabism that Saudi Arabia is busily exporting around the Middle East.”
