The despot of Saudi Arabia dies and the price of oil surges.The connection between two unrelated events will be explained by the pundits as "the markets do not like uncertainty" All those tankers lying at anchor and full of oil waiting for the right circumstances to unload their cargoes, can now head towards the terminals and discharge the liquid. We can expect the oil companies to announce huge increases in profits at the next round of company announcements and in the meantime, the recent fall in the price of petrol at the pumps will be reversed within days if not sooner. An enlightening perspective on the oil companies, dealers and speculators in a sick and greedy industry. In t...

Her father is serving a life sentence behind bars, her uncle serving five years, and her sister, newly freed from prison, is likely to be jailed again in September. Maryam al-Khawaja is in exile in Denmark I, and many others, have been shouting about the "forgotten uprising" in Bahrain for over two years. The problem, as is often the case in these situations, is that the western "media" by accident, or more usually by design, choose not to report events presumably to avoid embarrassment to "friendly" governments in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, the United States, with its 5th Fleet in its base at Juffai, the United Kingdom with nu...
http://racing.ap.org/article/thousands-rally-bahrain-ahead-auto-race The protests and the race go on. In sport, money is all too frequently far more important than principle.This time it is F1 and the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir. Some time this week, if he has not already benefited, Ecclestone will add a few $ or£ million to his huge bank deposits located around the world, Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa and the rest of the "Royal" family, will soak up the kudos of this major sporting event, and no doubt collect their fees and expenses. When the trophies are presented after the race, national anthems will be played and there will be much celebration amongst the teams and those in the grandstands, then the whole circus will move onto the next race, the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on the 20th April. In Bahrain, the protests will continue and for the Al Khalifa clique its back to business as usual. The business of human rights abuses, crus...

A big well done to The Magic Drum Orchestra, for taking a stand against the barbaric al-Khalifa regime and its excesses against the people of Bahrain. On Friday, 20 April 2012, I wrote in this Blog, under the heading of "CANCEL THE BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX " the following text, "Principle is more important that money. Ecclestone and the Bahrain Royal family grab the kudos, while the Bahrain security forces backed by the Saudi forces, continue to oppress and kill protesters. CANCEL THE BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX " The oppression and civil rights abuses against the people and protestors in Bahrain continues unabated today...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279736/Sandhurst-betrays-heroes-Mons--3m-donation-King-Bahrain.html Sandhurst 'betrays' heroes of Mons - for £3m donation from the King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa The Retreat from Mons, 1914 This is an absolute outrage. Renaming the Mons Hall in an insult to all who were there, and those who remain there. Adding insult to injury by using the name of a blood soaked tyrant who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of his own people in t he repression of demonstrations in Bahrain, is reprehensible. Royal Military Academy Sandhurst This despicable despot should be refunded his "donation" (otherwise known as hush money) and told to "shove it". He should also forget his "jolly" for the reopening next month.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/man-who-insulted-the-king-of-bahrain-on-twitter-sentenced-to-six-months-in-jail-8277839.html A man who insulted the King of Bahrain on Twitter has been sentenced to six months in jail as the tiny island nation ramps up its crackdown on dissent amid increasingly violent protests. King Hamad bin Isa al - Khalifa There is not enough room in the jails inside and outside Bahrain, for all the people who think that King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa is a despotic arse hole who rules over a Saudi/USA backed dictatorship, aided and abetted by the rest of his tyrannical family. The rest of the world may have forgotten the protests and demonstrations in Bahrain, but the struggle of the people of the Island against this odious regime continues.
