The thing was a seven headed snake. Imagine the budded heeds of an orchid plant where they form along the stem and not all at the end. The colour was of purple. The "snake" was somehow being bound from the lowest part and upwards one head at a time and with each binding the upper heads were struggling to cope more. Its now a thing understood as seen rather than actually able to see, not sure what it means though the colour seemed significant.

purple - royalty.

being bound more....

I think it is a fight for power in the House of SAud, that controls half of hte worlds money and is tied to everything on that side of the world.

If they do not all agree, there is a power struggle, and each has resources to create political mayhem funneling money into wars...that will help them get control at home in thier country.

It is sad for the rest of us when 'small family business politics' can destroy other countries and races.....
