17. Its just a reality side effect

to oil partnerships to the original Wahabbi cult that happen to make a fortune to spread their beliefs with marketing & propaganda. No surprise they'd fund other Wahabbi cults but of all things in the 9/11 commission, the redact who paid for it & blocked lawsuits or Saudi Arabia had no problem filing court arguments while guilt or innocence is decided by religious courts in their country and the 1st rule or law is don't criticize them. Why the US prefers to look the other way I don't know except following the money tends to upset & outrage politically connected & powerful people who just want to cash the checks & look the other way & move on.

In the Bin Laden Manhunt documentary, 2 hours of CIA propaganda but they did reveal rare information the CIA itself typically wouldn't elaborate on. Early into it, one of the analysts starts putting pictures on the famous law investigation board, immediately after she puts Bin Laden photo in comes the guy who I forget his name but she does say it that she says handle the financing, specifically saying he sets up the words "charity fronts". The only time the mention him in the entire documentary but I would have loved to hear them elaborate on.
