I think the new Saudi King has one-up'd berry's iphone give-a-way??

I understand his need to placate the masses, in light of the ISIS-ISIL-IS-AQ (what ever) threat.

But will it work,, or is he just slipping money under the table to bank roll the terrorist??

Saudi King unleashes a torrent of money as bonuses flow to the masses, Ben Hubbard, 3 Hours Ago, The New York Times

"It is party time for Saudi Arabia right now," said John Sfakianakis, the Riyadh-based Middle East director of the Ashmore Group, an investment company,

who estimates that the king's post-coronation giveaway will ultimately cost more than $32 billion.

That is a lot of cash, more, for example, than the entire annual budget for Nigeria, which has Africa's largest economy.

For decades the Saudi kings have bought their following with oil money!

2013 oil revenue was est. at $274B. I guess it's part of their Homeland Security.

Is the Saudi king actually buying happiness of the masses today, or just renting them to delay internal insurrection until tomorrow?
