When George Bush was president (1 and 2) the partnership they had with the Saudis was the Carlyle group. George Bush(s) put sanctions on Iraqi oil or invaded so it couldn't be sold which caused the price of oil worldwide to skyrocket and the Saudis made huge money which they kicked back to the bushes through the Carlyle group. The Carlyle group did several things with that money one of which was buy as many of the semiconductor factories as they could around the world especially in taiwan. They also bought media all around South East Asia to be able to control the message in southeast asia. They also bought the ethanol distilleries in the United States making the grain ethanol alternative to Saudi gasoline actually be owned by the Saudis themselves. That was the big conspiracy two decades ago. I guess everybody's forgotten about it now. But 2 decades ago that was the thing on the internet the media denied and called you a conspiracy theorist for telling. Sigh. You know it's get a little..disheartening to see how they get away with all this. The Bidens will too
