Anti Austerity demonstrations will intensify not only in London but all around the country.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/19/police-crack-down-on-activists-on-eve-of-london-austerity-march Police crack down on activists on eve of London austerity march      See you on the streets next Saturday. 20th June 2015 Someone once said, "We aim to equalise before the other team score. We should get our retaliation in first." . The police seem to have taken this idea to a new level in defence of the "establishment" and the austerity programme of Osborne and the Conservative government. The restriction and suppression of protest and dissent is more appropriate to a "Police State" than to a supposed democracy in western Europe. The imposition of even more austerity will be announced over the coming months and whether the government, the "establishment" or the police like it or not, the demonstrations will intensify not only in London but all around the country. Join the demonstrations, resist the governm...

Government instruction: Ignore protest and public opinion.

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/aug/03/ignore-fracking-protests-government-tells-planners?guni=Keyword:news-grid%20main-1%20Main%20trailblock:Editable%20trailblock%20-%20news:Position2 Ignore fracking protests, government tells planners   Ignore the protests, ignore the evidence, ignore all counter arguments and ignore any other suggestions that may cause any delay to the drilling companies plans to exploit the extraction of oil and gas. The planners must recognise that "mineral extraction is essential to local and national economies" and consequently must do everything possible to fast track applications and thereby ensure that the drilling companies are able to peruse their quest for profits. It is of course a coincidence that these drilling companies are major contributors to Conservative party funds, and the governments instructions to Planning authorities are solely for the benefit of society.

It's a family matter.

The Al Khalifa family continue their state terrorism, assisted by the Saudi's, while the United States and Europe (including the UK), look on in silence but still sell them arms and "riot control" equipment.       Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa with Sec. Clinton David Cameron and King Hamad bin Issa al - Khalifa Princess Noura Bint Ebrahim al-Khalifa, seems to be "one of the family" just like the others. Incidentally, the Al Khalifa family moved to Bahrain in 1797. Originally, the family lived in Umm Qasr  where they preyed on the caravans of Basra and pirated ships in the Shatt al-Arab  waterway, until Turks expelled them to Kuwait where they remained until 1766. In 1820, the Al Khalifa tribe were recognized by Great B...

Man who insulted the King of Bahrain on Twitter sentenced to six months in jail

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.

Incitement provoking reaction.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/analysis-charlie-hebdo-cartoons    French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's publisher, known only as Charb, speaks to journalists. There seems to be a concerted and determined campaign of incitement in parts of the global media, tacitly endorsed by governments . Incitement, leading to reaction, leading to accepted justification for what? The clock is ticking.

What is the real motive?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/muhammad-cartoons-freedom-expression?fb=native  Article 19 of the UN's universal declaration of human rights in 1948 envisaged few restrictions. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression," it stated.   The satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo has published cartoons mocking the prophet Muhammad, prompting fears of protest action. This is not an argument about free speech. This, and all the other recent "incidents", are clearly Incitement to racial and religious hated, which is a criminal offence in many countries of the world. The objective of these "incidents" is to provoke reaction in order to justify a response. There is a very sinister trend in the western media and establishment. The clock is ticking.
