The British have now directly weighed in to save their Saudi assets in the ongoing battle in the United States (now extended into Germany) to expose the direct Anglo-Saudi hand behind 9/11 and all the other jihadist terror attacks over the past decades. A Daily Telegraph article by Tory MP Tom Tugendhat, former adviser to the Chief of the Defence Staff, argues that if JASTA passes, British intelligence and the British government could be sued for “past” support for terrorists in Londonistan. The article is bluntly headlined “Why a US law to let 9/11 families sue Saudi Arabia is a threat to Britain and its intelligence agencies.”

While the JASTA bill is not explicitly aimed against Britain, which enjoys close intelligence cooperation with the US,

The author cites the case of Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, who was radicalized at Finsbury Park Mosque under the watchful eye of MI5 and MI6.

The author notes that there is a worst-case option, even under JASTA, which is for the President to invoke state secret privilege, which he can do even in private litigation. But, Tugendhat warns, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are supporting JASTA’s passage and might not be inclined to act. One more reminder that the British and Saudi Monarchies are attached at the hip—and elsewhere.

Of course, while it is true that “Londonistan” is truly the world capital of global terrorism, the British freakout is not about Richard Reid the “shoe bomber” or the Findsbury Park Mosque. The British are directly implicated in 9/11 through the BAE Systems Al Yamamah program, through which Prince Bandar was receiving enormous sums via the Bank of England, at the same time he was funding the San Diego 9/11 terrorist cell.

The real issue is that the release of the 28 pages opens the entire Pandora’s Box of Anglo-Saudi-Bush collusion in the biggest terrorist massacre ever to take place on US soil. The full expose of Bandar’s role immediately puts the entire BAE Al Yamamah issue back in the spotlight and forces a full  re-investigation of everything surrounding 9/11. 

Addressing the June 6-7, Eighth U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (SED) taking place in Beijing, host President Xi Jinping laid out the task before the world’s two largest economies. Xi said the nations should cultivate mutual trust and cooperation and take part in regular talks.

“The fundamental thing is the two sides should stick to the principles of no conflict or confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation,” he said, South China Morning Post reported Monday.

Alluding to the increasingly hostile posture of the Obama administration vis-à-vis China, Xi said that “there is no reason to be scared of having differences, the key is not to adopt a confrontational attitude towards any differences,” according to SCMP. “Some differences can be solved through endeavor, and both sides should work harder to solve them. Some differences cannot be solved at the moment, and both sides should take each other’s actual situations into consideration and take a constructive approach.”

In contrast to Xi’s appeal to work together and make the Asia-Pacific a “big platform for cooperation,” the Obama administration made it a point to use this annual forum to accuse China as its only agenda. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew dedicated his speech to pressing China “to reduce excess production capacity that its trading partners complain is driving a flood of low-cost steel into their markets, threatening thousands of jobs,” reported SCMP, then quoting Lew harping on, “Excess capacity has a distorting and damaging effect on global markets and implementing policies to substantially reduce production in a range of sectors suffering from overcapacity, including steel and aluminum, is critical to the function and stability of international markets.”
