Muhammad Bin Salman suddenly assigns you as the person in charge for the planning within Makkah and Madinah for 30 years.

As the head of this Royal Commissions you have:

• Total rights to dictate and plan any project, which includes Masar Destination, Madinah Metro, Makkah Airport etc.
• Have access up to $100 billion funding per year. Extra funding subject to council.
• Can control and plan for pilgrim movement, zoning and residency.
• Can control all regulations pertaining to restaurants, hotels, streets, etc.
• Have the right to dictate which third party services and contracts you allow.
• Any other rights or duties not mentioned also are allowed as long as they don’t violate Islamic law or subvert King Salman’s authority.

What do you during your 30 years leadership for Makkah and Madinah?

Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud is known for founding the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and supporting Islamic revival, along with maintaining a careful relation with Non-Muslim powers, whilst being against only Zionism and not the Jewish people itself.

However one of the things I always wonder is why Ibn Saud didn’t declare a Saudi Caliphate and crown himself as caliph. I’ve been doing some research and have come to find out via maps that several Arabian tribes stretched across the borders. He would have secured the support of scholars and these tribal Sheikhs, and it could have given him defacto legal and religious right to Yemen, Trucial states, Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Throughout the later 1930s to early 1940s the situation in the region was precarious and he very well could have taken the whole of Arabia and Levant, including Jerusalem.

My argument for a caliphate is because Ibn Saud had a good reputation and being custodian of the holy mosques would be further justification, along with the Al Sauds startegic economic and social strategies during this time. A caliphate might have served as a leader of the current OIC and served as a way to stop Western and Eastern influences, especially by leveraging its prestige. The region would be funded by oil profits and Jerusalem along with the Hejaz-Istanbul railway renovated.

Madain Salih, also referred as Hegra, is a remnant of the Nabateans, but many people believe that it was the location of the Thamud, a people mentioned in the Quran. Additionally people believe that Allah struck the Thamud and their idols in this location, and therefore the place is cursed. It is said that the Prophet Salih attempted to bring them to monotheism but this failed after they killed the she camel. The Prophet left with his followers and following this Allah punished the disbelievers, which many argue is the reasoning behind the disappearance of its inhabitants. While others say the inhabitants left following the shift of trade routes from land to sea.

A common theory people have had is that Heath was a spy for CRM and likely requested pickup after the outpost massacre. However this definitely is not the case.

The PPP card likely stands for priority personnel program and is for assets loyal to CRM. This is where one’s who live comes in with PPP exception, in reference to embeds that lived in Portland. These embeds would likely be people like Huck and other soldiers with experience sent across America and the world to gather intelligence, infiltrate and sabotage. Someone like Heath doesn’t fit the profile because he’d need to act like Dante, and have the guts to harm people, yet the outpost battle showed otherwise.

The PPP card found by Tara was likely the result of a scuffle between Jadis group and Heath. Due to Jadis level of service towards CRM she likely was handed PPP in case soldiers encountered her.

The objective of CRM spies is to gather information and debrief. If Heath had been a spy he would have given information on Rick, the Militia and Saviors, meaning Okafor and high command would not have allowed a man known for rebellion to be a consignee. Okafor himself admitted to Rick that they don’t know anything about him or where he came from within Virginia.

It is likely Heath was just an unfortunate captive taken to Philadelphia as a B. Knowing how CRM values people, he probably suffered an unfortunate death at the hands of a walker and was likely taken to the lab in New York. If Heath was alive we would have seen him instead of Esteban and maybe helping Rick.

Another day, another mysterious death. Train doors don’t open on their own and certainly no one mistakenly jumps out on their own. This was a clear and targeted attack, and there are two suspects to come in mind, either VHP or Bajrang Dal. May Allah have mercy on brother Tauseef Raza. This hits pretty close since I was in Bareilly for a month when I had winter vacation.

I was casually browsing Google Maps and notice right next to the hotels that the residences which were visible a few days ago have vanished. Only road outlines remain, but beyond that it’s just sand. I’m hoping the workers that lived there were compensated.

“The 65th edition of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, which will take place from June 12 to 16, will open with the international premiere of the first two episodes of Season 3 of “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” in the presence of actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, alongside showrunner Seth Hoffman.”

“Season 3 of the show, which is produced by AMC Studios, premieres in the summer on AMC/AMC+. In this season, Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) finally set aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse. But as chaos begins to emerge across the city, they are forced to confront a crucial question: have they truly learned from their past, or will their dark history ultimately doom the entire city?”

The official premier date has not been decided, but it is likely to be in August and extending to September, with Daryl Dixon following afterwards in maybe October. We may get one final Maggie-Negan reckoning and the potential conclusion to the Dama, New Babylon storyline.

The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon Season 4 has been undergoing post production for a few months now, but according to social media fan pages it had been completed. If true then it’s likely that Daryl will air in September. Meanwhile Dead City will air its first two episodes at the Monte Carlo festival.

A common misconception people seem to have is that Commonwealth is located around Toledo, which stems from the sign seen in season 9 and that hint from World Beyond.

However the show pretty much disproves this because we see some wide shots of main city, and it doesn’t resemble Toledo at all. We don’t see Lake Erie or an actual river, just some ponds here and there. Also the area surrounding the city is simply too hilly for it to be northern Ohio. In the comics it made sense, because we saw them pass by Lake Erie and also visit one of the Commonwealth’s resort town, which might have been on Lake Erie. But in the show this is not the case, as Commonwealth is located clearly in a different part of Ohio.

Now in the comics Eugene and everyone have to pass through Pittsburgh just to get to Commonwealth. Yet in the show the meeting spot is in Charleston, West Virginia. That would mean that the Commonwealth troops would have had to take a four day journey north, which logically makes no sense when they could’ve had the meeting in a better area. The only explanation as to why Charleston was chosen as the spot is because likely the Commonwealth is located not too far away for a horse ride. The best location for a 50,000 community would be Athens, Ohio, just a 1 day ride away from Charleston and 5 days away from Alexandria. Meaning Eugene and his group passed through a fictional city within Virginia that was big in population to have had skyscrapers and be host to Juanita being alone.

Along with the main main city it is confirmed that Commonwealth has 40 outposts, which span from Ohio all the way to Virginia, and according to the train engineer Wilson, there’s at least one other excluding Alexandria that hosts civilians and soldiers. Meaning the Commonwealth stretches from southeast Ohio to northwestern Virginia.

With regards to Dead City and New Babylon, along with the Bricks, it is likely that the Commonwealth has been cut off from Virginia after blue ridge was captured, and West Virginia simply serves as a buffer. Negan and Maggie not sending their people to ask for assistance could be due to the fact that Governor Ezekiel is under pressure not to put the network’s influence in Ohio under risk.

A common question among people in this subreddit has been the Saviors supply situation and level of influence. The show and its spinoffs have told us the following.

1. The Sanctuary was initially a rag tag group of raiders, marauders and regular people, led by leadership that was incompetent.
2. A lot of organized groups either died or joined up with Sanctuary, Kingdom and Oceanside.
3. Negan started the Saviors initially as a small group, but overtime their numbers grew enough that Simon and other people were convinced to merge the Sanctuary. From there on Negan put an end to the infighting, brought stability and organized resources. This is where the dead city scene comes in showing him planning the walker fence.
4. It is likely some of the outposts were their own communities and joined the Saviors, such as Gavin.
5. Hilltop was subjugated easily, but Kingdom actually had a few skirmishes until the death of their scout probably forced them to change course. This is where Gavin comes in, maybe being sent to subdue the King.
6. between 2010 and 2011 we had the Saviors subjugate and wipe out Oceanside, meaning that there probably were other communities that were massacred or had their residents transported to sanctuary. There were also a River people whose leader was killed, and their people most likely taken as workers. The Polaroids at the Satellite station confirm there were other groups that had been subjugated and eventually assimilated.

While this was all happening, a group named Gold 99 was also employing a similar system, except it was much more harsher. Onslaught reveals that before and during the Savior conflict, this hostile group attempted to take resources from various communities and was seemingly aware of the Saviors, choosing to avoid contact with them. The communities of White Oak and Outskirts were within Virginia but had not encountered the Saviors or the Militia. So the Gold 99 were essentially were wiping out potential providers for the Saviors, without Negan even knowing, as the Gold 99 likely knew to keep away from Sanctuary. We don’t know what would’ve happened if they had found an outpost or one of the subject communities.

The end of the Saviors as a threat might have opened up the Gold 99 to territory within the DC area that was ripe for taking, but their group practically was wiped out before the could take advantage. Otherwise we might have seen there being a conflict between the Militia and Gold 99 between season 8-9. All in all other extortionists were ironically responsible for The Saviors only have a few providers, as Shirewilt estates and Oceanside were too far south and it would take years for Saviors to even send scouts down.

This CRM map shows there being fuel depots with Ohio, and Commonwealth is assumed as being in either Toledo or Athens. This means that there is a fifty percent chance they went through Commonwealth territory, but didn’t encounter the city, outposts or troopers. Had they done so and been taken for processing, things would have been vastly different for season 11. Which could have meant Negan finally revealing Jadis affiliation with CRM and Gabriel pretty much having to say the truth, resulting in Judith putting the final piece together to realize where Rick went.

The CRM currently is number one in terms of deaths, but the Saviors come at second, having had a membership of 600-700 people before season 6. This means that at least 80 percent of their membership was diminished. In the comics the Saviors had only 300 people and lost at least 100.
