King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia

The hagiographies in American MSM of a man who oversaw one of the most brutal and repressive governments in the world are amazing. If you do our bidding, we will make sure you are glorified when you die, I guess.

This.

Disgraceful. The AP in particular. Good lord.

Don't think any commentary is needed

I will add, both sides of the story are coming out for people who are paying attention.
not a total brain/whitewash

well but that is the problem isn't it? most Americans don't pay attention...most Americans will get a little blurb from the AP in their local paper or see a 30 second bit on the evening news..that will be IT.


This man was a real piece of work...to see the AP and what they wrote yesterday about him made me want to puke.

The facts are that Iran is a far more open society than Saudi Arabia has ever been yet we will continue to hear the drumbeat for attacking Iran or the world will end.... what was it? 19 of 20 9-11 hijackers were Saudis?

Exactly. Fairer accounts of his reign are being given but not on our TV channels or in our newspapers.

Interestingly, that wasn't the original article I linked to.

Originally, it said only that he had passed and that the price of Crude rose 1.5% upon hearing the news.  That's why I linked to it.

IMHO damn near ALL Americans do this.  The only different is who they list to, CNN, Fox, or MS/DNC.

The Keep (which Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack for) had a huge influence on me in High School.

Was curious and found this detail....

Music[edit]

Main article: The Keep (Tangerine Dream album)

The theme and incidental music was composed by Tangerine Dream. The band previously worked with Michael Mann on his first theatrical film Thief. The score to The Keep is primarily made up of moody soundscapes, as opposed to straightforward music cues, composed by Tangerine Dream. Most notably, a version of the Brian Eno/David Byrne composition "Mea Culpa" was used for the film's opening sequence,[citation needed] and an ambient cover of Howard Blake's "Walking in the Air" was featured during the end sequence of the film. Additionally, Tangerine Dream's arrangement of the song "Gloria" from Mass for Four Voices by Thomas Tallis can also be heard in the film.

Due to rights issues, the version of the film that is currently available on streaming media sites contains a different score than its original release. A limited run of 150 original soundtrack CDs were sold at a concert by the group in the UK in 1997, and Virgin Records soon announced that the album would be available for general release in early 1998, but legal issues with the film studio stopped the release. The full score can be found in the laserdisc and VHS versions of the film.
