What Matt Stoller says . . .

Here. Thou shalt read.

Al Qaeda and the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the U.S. were financed by Saudi princes. So was (and probably is) the so-called Islamic State. The Saudis are great friends of the Bush family. The 9/11 Commission report apparently names the financiers, but that part of the report is classified. It would not be in the national interest, it seems, for you to know who paid for the attack.

The entire basis and rationale of U.S. foreign policy, as represented by the corporate media, is horseshit. And yes, it's all about petroleum and the money that flows to the places from which it comes. It's not that long of a story; please do follow the link.
