Bandar Bush, MIA (updated)
THE DEAD GUY, MAYBE, IS ON THE RIGHT, NEXT TO THE CRAZY GUY ON THE LEFT
Bandar al Sultan, Recently Appointed Saudi Intelligence Chief Feared Missing
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
When I read the report a week ago on Voltaire.net, responsible for some fair things but lots of less reliable material also, I became afraid.
As a journalist, perhaps the “pretend” kind, in that I have difficulty being slavish and naturally stupid, I knew it could be true.
Just in from a “friend of an associate” close to Bandar:
“Was Prince Bandar “Bush,” 63, son of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz (perennial Saudi Defense Minister,1963-2001), semi-perennial ambassador to Washington (1983-2005), and secretive jihad financier, killed by a Syrian intelligence death squad?
Thunderous silence prevails on Syrian, Iranian and Arab media (most of it controlled by the Saudis). The same applies for al-Jazeera. This is DEBKA’s somewhat fanciful take.Dates are crucial. Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud may have pulled off operation “Damascus Volcano” on July 18. He was definitely promoted to head of Saudi intelligence on July 19. And he might have been killed in a bomb attack on the Saudi General Intelligence HQ in Riyadh on July 22.
One Syrian rumor mill version rules that “Damascus Volcano” came from Saudi intel — with logistics provided by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This is highly unlikely; the CIA is clueless on how to penetrate Assad’s inner sanctum. The predominant version circulating in the Syrian capital is this was a white coup.“Damascus Volcano,” by the way, was a flop; the swarm of mercenaries — infiltrated via Jordan — who were supposed to take over the capital had to retreat up north. Now the news cycle is fixated on another faux game-changer — the “Battle of Aleppo.”
There are serious problems with all the spin around “Damascus Volcano.” None of the Assad regime’s four heads of military intelligence were killed — they are actually running the (ghastly) show in Aleppo.There are also problems with a Syrian death squad being able to strike Riyadh’s inner sanctum. But Iranian intelligence could certainly pull this off. As for Debka’s assumption that Tehran may have hired al-Qaeda jihadis for an inside job against the House of Saud, that is rubbish.
The bottom line; no one knows, because no one is talking.What is certain is that Bandar as head of Saudi intelligence was part of King Abdullah’s hardcore response to the Arab Spring.
In Syria, the House of Saud strategy boils down to regime change — and a fragile, fragmented, Sunni government in Damascus not aligned with Tehran.
Internally, the strategy is to viciously smash any peaceful Shi’ite-majority protest in the eastern provinces. Essentially, there’s no Arab Spring in Saudi Arabia because the House of Saud either bribes or intimidates its subjects.The overall strategy of choice is “blame it on Iran”; as this logic goes, Saudi Shi’ites are Iranian puppets as much as Bahraini Shi’ites. The Obama administration blindly subscribes to this fallacy — totally missing the point; the House of Saud hates any semblance of Western parliamentary democracy as much as it hates Shi’ites — Iranian and otherwise.
So what happened in Riyadh? A graphic Tehran message to the House of Saud? A rogue suicide bomber? An internal Saudi war? The House of Saud is not talking. And Bandar is not moving.
Pepe Escobar is the roving correspondent for Asia Times. His regular column, “The Roving Eye,” is widely read. He is an analyst for the online news channel Real News. He argues that the world has become fragmented into “stans” — we are now living an intestinal war, an undeclared global civil war. He has published three books on geopolitics, including the spectacularly-titled “Globalistan: How the Globalised World Is Dissolving Into Liquid War”. His latest book is “Obama Does Globalistan.”
The story required several things:
- A major building had to blow up with nobody putting on the internet. Last time I urinated in the woods at midnight, it hit youtube and went viral.
- Bandar talks to the CIA and Mossad hourly. They leak information like it was their job, which, of course, it is.
- For Saudi Arabia to go a week while major news sources are now asking hard questions is embarrassing.
This guy could really be dead and if he is, Saudi Arabia will look like a pack of jackasses till the end of time.
As this is off the cuff, a few things drive me nuts. Turkey is lined up on Syria’s border like they were being bribed to invade Syria so they could get into the European Union.
Who would want to go to a party after the booze and drugs are gone and the police are hauling people away? It is not time to consider joining the EU.
Turkey was planning, a year ago, to kick Israel’s ass, lots of talk, absolutely no action. They were also going to help Gaza and Egypt.
Instead, Turkey has become an international joke.
Then there is Syria. They are being blamed for killing the guy who may not be dead but should have the common courtesty to at least tell us if he is dead or not. He actually seemed or seems like a very nice person for a professional torturer and monster, the only qualifications of his new despotic position.
Syrians blew him up?
The current big scare is that Saudi Arabia will invade Syria. DEBKA, the Israeli rag says Russia has a huge armada sailing to Syria. Then they name the ships. I double check on Pravda.
Have you ever seen the drawings a kid turns out in day care when he needs to be on Ritalin?
That’s DEBKA and Pravda.
The fleet could fit in the average bath tub. Russia needs to spend some bucks, build some things and stop playing “world cop” with no badge and gun.
So, here I sit, if I tell you he is dead and he shows up alive, I am a total idiot.
If he shows up alive but sat out a week of everyone thinking he is dead, he may get a dig on Dallas.
(90′s TV insider joke)
There is no way out of this.
Worse still, nobody is talking.
Nobody.
Then we have Iran promising to defend Syria from invasion this week, although I can’t attribute the claim to the highest authority, it was high enough.
Were I Iran, I would want to read the email trail between Assad’s wife and father in law and the Mossad.
Nuff Sed on that one.
Today, now, while the world is coming apart, Bandar Bush, the smiling face of Saudi insanity and despotism is nowhere to be found.
Bad timing.
Still, announcing you are alive because the “internet” said you were dead makes you look like a bit of a dipshit also. My point is that we are maybe a day past that one.
So, either he shows up by sundown tomorrow or he is one dead camel riding Saudi pilot with a former huge home in Aspen.
If this is the case, then we start asking what else is being kept from us.
That would be nice.
Speculating about how killed someone we don’t know is dead is not a good idea. It would be very painful for the Bush family and Israel.
The actual humans in Bahrain should be dancing in the streets.
Problem is, this guy never seemed “out of control.”
Why was someone this personable appointed at this time to such a horrific job?
So, we wait and wonder because the clock has gone around once too many times for things to be as they are supposed to seem.
A “stuck in an elevator with 3 hookers” story isn’t going to fly this time.

Bandar is drinking Champagne with Ben Laden, The Bush’s , Ghadaffi, and various other scoundrels, In the Hamptons, State of New York, Home of New York City, Home of Manhattan, with the assistance of night and day by Israelli Mossad and the CIA!—No excuses!
So has Bandar shown up anywhere yet?
Gordon,
BTW, quite a few of my post’s the last week have disappeared. Not sure who is screwing with you set-up but it seems more concerted lately.
Here is something from Wayne Madsen:
“WMR has learned from our sources in Lebanon and Egypt that reports that Saudi Arabia’s recently-appointed head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States and close friend of the Bush family — he was even called “Bandar Bush” by George W. Bush — is very much alive but keeping a low profile in Saudi Arabia.
After serving as ambassador in Washington, Bandar served as secretary general of the Saudi National Security Council but was stripped of all his government responsibilities after he engaged in a power struggle against King Abdullah.
Bandar became head of Saudi intelligence on July 19, the day after Saudi agents were reportedly involved in the insurgent bombing of Syrian security headquarters in Damascus, which killed Syria’s intelligence and defense ministers.
WMR’s Middle East sources claim that there is a massive information war being waged between Damascus and Riyadh and, in a wishful-thinking “eye for an eye” retaliation, Damascus has floated the story that Bandar was killed in a bombing of Saudi General Intelligence Directorate (Ri’asat Al-Istikhbarat Al-’Amah) headquarters in Riyadh.
Various reports, surfacing on Middle East and European websites, including PressTV of Iran and Voltairenet of France, stated that Bandar was allegedly killed in the claimed Riyadh bombing. However dates vary widely on the alleged events. Some reports had Bandar taking over as Saudi spy chief on July 24, with the alleged Riyadh bombing taking place on July 26. However, it appears from confirmed reports that Bandar took over Saudi intelligence on July 19.”
Gordon,
I spotted this on Wayne Madsen’s site and thought you’d be interested if you did not already see it.
It says:
“WMR has learned from our sources in Lebanon and Egypt that reports that Saudi Arabia’s recently-appointed head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States and close friend of the Bush family — he was even called “Bandar Bush” by George W.

Observing that photo of George HW Bush at the top, I notice two things:
First, his left eye looks noticeably more open and sinister than the other one…like the all-seeing left eye of Horus or something,
And secondly, there’s a lamp post out my window that looks like it is missing something.
God I loathe that creature…and his evil spawn.
He has wonk eye there for sure o_O Looks more like an a-hole than the eye of horus…
Undeniably, he is a genius and has gotten very far along his agenda. He can con you through and through in person. He touches little boys…
No amount of mortal justice can be rendered on to this man for recovery to the whole or restitution. But, he has one a major vulnerability: his legacy. He covets it.
His Legacy?? Surely you jest, Rahnameh.
What kind of legacy does he think he could possibly have in the minds of patriots who have awoken and now see him and his kind for exactly what they are and what they have done to our nation and the future of our children.
His only legacy is one of betrayal and dishonor. He is pathetic. His evil countenance should be carved into America’s Mt. Rushmore of shame. Right next to LBJ’s ugly jewish mug.
His legacy among the stupid who still watch fx n beck and ‘pray fer izreel’. The more we help wake the sheep to reality, the better our chances to remain, and the better ‘their’ chances to end up in jail. Or in a bunker with the air supply cut down. Slowly.
I sure hope so, Wolf. I sure hope so…
But, let’s pretend he has a proactive plan to make sure that he wins on this “legacy” front anyway. Scope it & deconstruct it. Then, let’s build a plan of our own. Before this guy is granted sweet death, I want him on his knees wincing in the eternal pain of knowing he failed at what he cared about most.
Best part is, there is no illegality in that measure. It is simply the telling of truth.
We can make an overt conspiracy to tell the truth.
man rahnameh
truley like your style…..
rest easy man know that he ( and them ) will die shity deaths and they will never live to see their “great plan” brought to fruit thats comforting in itself……
Wolf the best Psychological awareness, that should be assesment of an Individual such as Poppie , Herbert Walker, another poster said that if Bandar was with Bush, little boys were involved as well!!! Nice understanding… As you look at bush’s eyes…most people left and right eye look similar… When you look at an Individual who has a dual or more personality-and this is not always forever, only those that can’t hold back their sociopathy… Those that can and do will not register this. As wolf points out his Left eye , more open, taking in the most info to THE RIGHT side of the brain, Creativeness, Love, other ‘artistic’ views. the Right eye more closed is a different pesonality not wanting to see the Rational, Reality, the cold cool hard protected vision of the brain.. sent to the LEFT side!- all has nothing to do or the opposite effect when you talk politics!!!-Maybe the creators of’Horus’ Knew this, Maybe ‘Horus’ was like this… Just read and understand the psychology. Whenever aperson’s eyes reflect differently understand that the eyes send a message to the opposite side of the brain. Understand each side of the brain and you got it Down!
I’d hate to neg on one of the only coherent posts I’ve ever seen from you especially when you referred to me as “another poster” and agreed with me (lol), but the left-brain side of the brain is a complete myth. You’re not the only one spreading 60s pseudo-cognitive nonsense. Check out Medline or Pubmed, where pros would look for answers to this. Take your findings to a trusted medical friend to help you out since you probably don’t trust me unless you can make sense of what you find on your own.
Now, I’ll clarify more before you go on a goose chase: you are right about visual interpretations from the same set of stimulus responding to different regions of the brain for different external “personality” types that you see. They just don’t happen to be divided into neat left-right brain hemispheres. Nor do your visual stimulus come in separately themed according to these hemispheres (love on one side; hate or lack of love on the other).
You are also right that the right field of vision inverts and crosses before being rendered into chemical-electrical signals for “brain processing”. However, this process does not create two different streams of dueling interpretation — they are equally rendered and the reason you have two eyes is for stereoscopy, not much else. Your take is that the left eye sends signals to the right side of the brain where love creativity artistic abilities etc. inhabit. But Sammy Davis, Jr., who didn’t have a left eye, would be a contradiction. Of course, you can claim they “snatched” one of his personalities, but think about that a little more and see if that makes sense. What is Steve Wonder? lol
In my opinion, one need not see this guy’s picture even to know his psychology.
Meth You are a DICK! You agree to disagree… That is right wing Repuglican, Reptilicanism to it;s core!.. You know I am accurrate about the closed eyes psychologically speaking – as you agree DICK- Then you attempt to negate…Dick (Did I say that before!?) People listen up !! Meth does not want you to understand how one can read another or as the aliens say -Take a ‘Hops”… right Meth amphetamine??! Your Opinion sucks- then you are only relying on heresay- YOU MUST take a Hops of the person or ‘being’ -DICK!- For an Example Look at Obama’s face and then look at the Lying Loser ROMNEY!- Romney is definitely the lying LOSER!- Not Obama! If you are keen , you may see snippets of Obama having to deal with DICKS like yourself Meth< yet I say to him -Dump The Drips from the RIGHT WING AND YOU SHALL FREE YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS TO DO GOOD FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!- This is something that must be done, and the Right wing disfigured eyeball types are Hellbent on denying…Thanks Meth for the dialogue- BITCH!
ok…who ARE you and what have you done with TJ Bronco?
Nice post!
Wolf I am still here Huckleberry, have been and will be… You got it down and credit where credit is due!
Escobar’s collective conscious take is good, confirming of my belief, formerly only hope. And every one of us has to herd sheep to assist that liquid situation, helping turn dumb clay to liquid. Lava. Make notes with alternative sites like this one to hand out so people can be informed. There is no way their idiot ‘world police’ goons can fight the entire world, yet. All people, one focus. NOT one government. One focus, tyranny.
Funny I was going to email a family friend in Hala Ranch and see if Bandars bedroom light was on. Would have trumped the vaunted CIA/intelligence/fiscal genious “dude” one more time but remembered he sold to Paulson. Which is hilarious because Paulson made a fortune in 07-08′ predicting the collpase whilst being a mega dousche-bag in the hedge fund game. Guess he didn’t see that the fake funds propping real-estate and his predictions would make Bandar Bush’s home 80 million less in value after the onslaught. Can’t win’em all can you J.P.? Hedge fund managers go right after bankers in my dreams.
Was his carcass dumped into the Arabian Sea?
What, no balloons and streamers with this announcement?? If this turns out to be true we can only hope some of his bush family members were with him. All these primative neanderthals deserve a premature meeting with their maker. I like the word moster here Gordon. One less in the world would be comforting.

Thus far we have the pillsberry doughboy and his mobbed up wife, dad a zombie, son, destroyer of worlds, drugged beyond notice as usual, falling off his bicycle.
I had two conversations with Bandar, neither of substance. Work related things….as, if you are an intelligence chief, some of the menial tasks you perform require technical advice.
the region is controlled by 4 companies and I am moving our south….
In Airborne speak – he is not dead. Just gone to the final RV ……
It’s a bit like being stuck in a Kurt Vonnegut film.
My 2cents would be on Khalid Cuthbert.
Either that or the red button.
There must be feverish machinations going on in the background.
Next time you see a Turkish diplomat, point at him and yell, “DRUG DEALER!” as if you were a crazy person on the street. Point at those around him and say the same. But watch the Turkish diplomat’s reaction. Watch his eyes. Erdogan is not a dictator nor is Turkey, in fact, run by the Turkish. They are run by Donmeh who never actually assimilated, but hid in order to perpetuate a world plan. Donmeh, crypto-Jews, are not a secret. They were led by a kabbalist. After WWI, the Ottomans were officially conquered. The rest was a slide into sycophancy towards their conquerors and an entrenchment of foreign interests.
Iran should enter the fray at this juncture rather than allow the plan to attack them come to fruition to attack later. This way they can play on their terms while forcing political capital from those who are playing charades (appearances count to these factions; not actualities). As it stands, they will not leave Syria until the deed is done. Then they will move on to Iran.
Good, the warmonger is dead. TOOF!
Update: this soft target is the last one I would peg as my spy chief. But hey, nepotism! Could it be that his scalp was collected instead?
If he hung out with 41, he definitely touched little boys.
Gordon,
Bandar Bush is a Legend. I thought that was Osama Bin Laden to be truthful, it’s hard to keep the players straight.
Anyway, anyone missing in this environment is a deliberate action, NO co-incidence.
