Is this plagiarism?
Ahmet in Tunisia sent me this: "Asad...this article in Asia Times by Pepe Escobar on Saudi Arabia smacks of copy/paste job from your blog with little variation...look at those examples: "House of Saud minions are all over Saudi-controlled media talking about the kingdom's "non-interference" policy. That's absurd; the House of Saud for decades has interfered against scores of progressive or leftist movements all across the world, and pushed several countries to civil war, from Lebanon to Yemen and Somalia - either serving Washington's interests or most of all the interests of their medieval Wahhabi clerics". and compare it to this post..and here he says this :". By the way Prince Turki himself made it clear on a separate occasion; the only regional actor allowed to have nuclear weapons is Israel". and compare it to this post when you said that as simply an inductive thought as i presume..It is is good to be inspired by your fiery attitude toward the House of Saud, but this one sounded like someone who is mailing it in and doing no effort at all.. Your views when you read the whole piece?"
