Saudi Arabia

This is coming from Mike Straw at Insider Gaming.

Just over a month after the sale of Electronic Arts, EA, to Saudi, uh, uh, Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, the PIF, closed in a $55 billion purchase, changes could be coming for the California-based publisher.

In a new report from Bloomberg, the PIF is considering a move that would see the merger of EA and its investment, development, and publishing holding company, Savvy Games Group.

According to the report, executives within the PIF are, quote, "Weighing plans to create one of the world's biggest gaming firms to ensure better coordination between its assets." End quote.

It's said that no financial decision has been made, but no deal will happen before Savvy closes a $6 billion purchase of Chinese mobile game company Moonton.

As f- as far as what is this merger...

As far as what this merger could mean, it's said that it would give Saudi, uh, Saudi Arabia's continued push into gaming a single vehicle through which to make acquisitions, development game, developed games, and exploit intellectual properties.

Okay, that was a word being chosen there.

The area is close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital waterway at the mouth of the Red Sea.

The Houthis earlier declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia.

In a statement on Thursday, the group said the latest operation is aimed at stopping attacks by hostile forces, adding there's no need for any international concern about freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.

The Houthis and Saudi Arabia continue exchanging fire.

The rebels are carrying out attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities and other targets, while the Saudi side is striking Houthi-held areas.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has adopted a resolution referring Iran to the UN Security Council.

It says the country is in non-compliance with its obligations on nuclear development.

We've heard that numerous times today.

I remember in, uh, 2001, I said that Saudi Arabia's number one export was terrorism, 'cause so many of the terrorists were Saudis.

I think they owe us something, don't you? They know it's at least an explanation.

At least an explanation.

It's still lower, but we've had a lot of escalatory headlines coming out of the Middle East.

Iran aligned Houthis in Yemen overnight, further seizing the Red Sea coastline with the capture of the strategic island of Parim, also attacking Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline.

Iran is reportedly now planning a meeting with Iraq and other regional countries to discuss shipping safety.

This all has diesel prices topping $6 a gallon for the first time ever, $6.06 according to AAA today.

It wasn't... you know, Muslims or Arabs all around the world.

There were 15 of those 19 were Saudi.

None of them were Pakistani.

But regardless, this is what you see what happens with bigotry.

And then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a wave of strikes on Saudi Arabia.

You better get ready for both kinds of war.

And if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.

The hijackers on record were CIA and Mossad.

It was the later CIA director who was the head of the embassy in Saudi Arabia.

Of course, we're talking about Brennan, who greenlit Basically, all of the hijackers, except for one, he gave them their visas, even though they were flagged as terrorists.

And I had Springman, the deputy head of the embassy on, who tried to refuse to authorize it and was told that, hey, that's their cover.

That's not me.

Like we ought to dig that up.

So that was a Saudi Arabian attack.

The U.S. invaded Saudi Arabia working with the crown prince, arrested tens of thousands, tortured to death thousands, and then now they've basically reformed, at least on the surface, over Saudi Arabia.

And then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a wave of strikes on Saudi Arabia.

You better get ready for both kinds of war.

And if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.

So he's essentially senator-elect.

uh let's keep rolling here be dark i thought saudi arabia was the terrorist that hit 9 11 15 and 19 of the terrorists were saudi citizens and the shootings at the base of pittsburgh and we call them allies that's spooky um i just we never got to the bottom of that whole saudi 9 11 afghanistan nexus Hey Jeff, president Carter started FEMA in 1979, three months after 30, what a disaster FEMA has become.

Carpetbaggers should be, uh, should on the radio should respect the hurricane.
