Figures that the Ithil stone should have ended up with the Saudis though.

Are they using it to communicate with Melkor, beyond the Walls of Night?

Ah, here we go:




"In reality, Trump was attending the opening of the Global Centre for Combating Extremist Ideology along with Saudi Arabia King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi when the photo was taken. The state-of-the art centre aims to monitor and combat global extremism in real time. During the opening, the leaders in attendance placed their hands on an illuminated globe as a gesture of their combined commitment to ending terrorism, and to officially activate the centre by launching a welcome video on the screens above."

I had assumed something along those lines, but that's still no excuse for setting up the photo op to look like someplace James Bond needs to escape from while it explodes behind him.

Huh, is this a Wahhabite thing or something?

Nah, this is a 21st century ribbon cutting.

It's the opening ceremony for this place:



The Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology.

When King Salman touched the Orb, it was the signal to turn the Center on.

EDIT: The Center in operation:




So, they're de-programming the extremists by giving them unlimited internet access?

This is dark, dark magic folks. Probably explains why Trump is president.

You'll note that they're splitting up the world, too.  Based on where their hands are.

Supervillains for sure.
