Saudi King Hospitalized for Dementia
Informed sources told Arabic-language al-Ahd news agency that King Salman is now in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) section of King Faisal Specialist Hospital in the Saudi capital.
The sources also said that given the Saudi king’s unstable and aggravating health conditions, officials have ceased plans to transfer him to US hospitals.
King Salman, 80, is thought to have Alzheimer’s or dementia and the government is practically administered by his Crown Prince Muhammad bin Nayef.
According to witnesses, his exact state of dementia is a source of speculation but he is known to have held cogent conversations as recently as last October. He can also forget what he said minutes ago, or faces he has known all his life. This is typical of the disease.
Sources close to the Saudi monarchy revealed earlier this year that the number of hospital visits by King Salman in the last few months has increased and that he did not walk around, as he did before.

In Saudi Arabia, they hospitalize their mentally deficient leader.
In the US, they make them president and allow them to destroy the world. (Reagan, Bush Jr, Obama, etc.)
Forgetting what you said only minutes before makes it possible to be a good liar. (Obama)

You running Mak? You got the disinformation part down.

I forgot what I was going to say.
Seriously, before this March, I had no idea what 80 was like. It worries me terribly when people over 75 think they can steer a ship of state.
Judging by how quickly our ‘young’ Presidents turn gray while in office. It makes a person believe taking on that much responsibility over 75 has to be a death sentence.
Having said all that, one has to wonder why the Saudis decided to go public?
Ah, palace intrigue. In the 21st century too.

Boat, he knows all about dementia. Just read his comments.

“At the start of 2015, policymakers around the world are faced with three fundamental choices: to strive for economic growth or accept stagnation; to work to improve stability or risk succumbing to fragility; and to cooperate or go it alone. The stakes could not be higher; 2015 promises to be a make-or-break year for the global community.
For starters, growth and jobs are needed to support prosperity and social cohesion in the wake of the Great Recession that began in 2008. Six years after the eruption of the financial crisis, the recovery remains weak and uneven.”
Says Christine Lagarde in January 2015 at the world’s economic forum in Davos Switzerland.
Got yer head up your ass Boat, or what? Fucking idiot.

The Saudi King has dementia? Maybe that explains why the Saudis made a bizarre decision to start pumping oil full out to create a global oil glut.
Cheers!

“The Saudi King has dementia?”
Dementia or not planter, he more than likely still has more on the ball than you do.

The more I read the posts on peakoil.com, the more I wonder if I, too, am experiencing the early onset of dementia.

Now, where did I put that ticket. I know it’s here somewhere. Wait! Is that the train I hear coming?

Given the recent ‘signs’ from the events surrounding the hajj, it’s more likely that they have come out with this news to explain ‘why GAWD did this to us’. A few hundred million moon howlers can sleep better now knowing, it not THEIR fault.

King Salman denies having dementia and in fact does not remember having dementia.

Umm did we not read the palace coup letter by that prince?!?!?!
Shit is moving fast now. Look forward to arrests in the west courtesy of the Pentagon and some pedophile arrests in the UK.
Everyone will be shocked I’m sure.

For all the levity about the situation, it is still a serious concern given the events taking place today in Syria.
Wonder what the United Nations has to say about leaders becoming senile… or taking office while senile? Is there a UA for that?

Who is next in line? Another 80+ year old?
