Author and host Matthew Heines takes you on an incredible journey through the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the 2004-2005 uprising that cost the lives of many expatriates and saudis that most people don’t know about or don’t remember. Many events that happened then, the invasion of Iraq, the Abu Ghraib prison fiasco and the introduction of hundreds of thousands of ‘infidels’ set the stage for a power struggle between the Muslim world and the West that is still in motion today. If you don’t understand Killing Time in Saudi Arabia, you don’t understand modern US policy and the military money making machine.

Discussing the geology and geography of Seattle as well as the social and demographic realities of an overcrowded Pacific Northwest is a recipe for disaster.
