The Humanitarian Crisis grows more severe each day.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/yemen-war-starvation-saudi-arabia-crisis-appeal-houthi-rebels-conflict-a7470846.html More than seven million people in Yemen do not know where their next meal will come from. Udai Faisal, an infant suffering from acute malnutrition E very one of the 102 Labour MP's who abstained on the Commons motion of 26th October last, calling on the Government to "suspend its support for the Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces in Yemen until it has been determined whether they have been responsible for violations of international humanitarian law in the conflict in Yemen"; should today read this article and study the photographs. They shoul d then ask themselves the question, "Is undermining and seeking to remove Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party, infinitely more important than attempting to stop the destruction and humanitarian suffering being inflicted every day by the forces of Saudi A...

The hypocrisy of "diplomacy" concealing reality.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/dec/08/boris-johnsons-remarks-about-saudi-arabia-not-the-governments-view Downing Street has slapped down Boris Johnson for suggesting that Saudi Arabia is abusing Islam and conducting proxy wars in the Middle East I am no big fan of the buffoon (but not such a buffoon as he would have us believe), Johnson. In fact I am not a little fan either, but in fairness, I find that the reaction of Theresa May in "slapping down," Johnson for telling the truth to be hypocritical in the the extreme.  Not only hypocritical but very sinister when the United Kingdom government resorts to, " The action or practice of behaving obsequiously in order to gain favour", which is the dictionary definition of "Arse licking" and seeks to pass it off as the "etiquette of diplomatic behaviour".  In the case of Saudi Arabia of course there is a very special relationship, and no one is allowed to criticise, in...

Public beheading and abuses of civil liberties are not acceptable even if you are "fighting terrorism".

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-yemen-comments-no-country-more-committed-to-fighting-terrorism-a7367301.html No country is more committed to fighting terrorism than  Saudi Arabia , the Kingdom's foreign minister has said. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir "No country is more committed to fighting terrorism than Saudi Arabia", the Kingdom's foreign minister has said. Public beheading performed in Saudi Arabia. Or more committed to publicly executing people, or abusing human rights on an epic scale, or committing war crimes in their military interventions in Yemen, Bahrain Syria and other places, or entering into very suspect "deals" for arms supplies from the UK. Saudi's send troops to Bahrain. The Saudi Arabian regime is corrupt, barbaric and hypocritical but successive British governments and our ow n Royal Family treat them as "the good guys". Prince Ch...

The masters of hypocrisy

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/02/saudi-arabia-executes-47-people-in-one-day-including-iranian-cleric Saudi Arabia executes 47 people in one day including Shia cleric Saudi Arabia not ISIS David Cameron and his government, say that the Saudi Arabian dictatorship are the "good guys" and are on our side, so this kind of barbarism is unpleasant but acceptable.   David Cameron receives a Decoration from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia The Saudi Arabian dictatorship purchase lots of military equipment from the United Kingdom to kill people in Yemen as well as their own "terrorists". They also supply weapons and equipment to ISIS (usually part of those purchased from here in the UK), as well as assistance in the covert exporting of black market oil from lands currently under ISIS control. Saudi Arabia, actively supports and encourages ISIS in secret (one of those secrets that everyone knows but nobody mentions) whilst publicly producing a ...

Hypocrisy in Riyadh and in London.

                  http://thefreethoughtproject.com/saudi-arabia-100000-empty-tents-ac-3-million-people-refugees/ Saudi Arabia Has 100,000 Empty Tents with AC for 3 Million People – They’ve Taken Zero Refugees The tents, which measure 8 meters by 8 meters,are air conditionedand fire proof.   Saudi Arabia is a country run by the evil and despotic Al Saud family. The Saudi Arabian "justice" system, executes (beheading) more of its citizens than any other country and is a serial violator and abuser of human rights and civil liberties. Saudi Arabia arms, finances and supports ISIS in its terrorist activities in the Middle East and in Europe. Saudi Arabia is a dangerous and destabilizing regime in the region and in the world. The United Kingdom is a major supplier to Saudi Arabia with arms, munitions, weapon systems and aircraft being at the top of the list of exports. ...

The futility of one month of Saudi airstrikes.

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/21/saudi-arabia-airstrikes-yemen-military-campaign-end Saudi Arabia declares end to Yemen air strikes after four weeks of bombing People gather near the rubble of houses destroyed by Saudi air strikes   Saudi Arabia ends its month long air camapign.The net result has acheived nothing except the deaths of countless numbers of civilians and even more hostility towards the regime in Riyadh and the ruling family, both in Yemen and amongst the vast majority of Saudi Arabian people. The Saudi government and the royal family however have more than enough of the most up to date western supplied weaponary and aircraft to maintain control within their own borders and now have the addition of the American aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and the cruiser USS Normandy to bolster their defences against the perceived "threat" of Iran. The Yanks are comming! USS Theodore Roosevelt The paranoid mentality of ...

It is not just a conflict between Sunni and Shia.

In recent years, United States foreign policy in the region has compounded and amplified an already volatile environment and made the situation even worse. When drawing artificial borders to give effect to the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1915/1916, the map makers did not understand, or completely ignored, all those factors which since the beginning of time, have been taken as the demarcation lines between countries. Borders have historically foll...

Hypocrisy, greed and profiteering on the death of Saudi King.

  http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/worldmarkets/oil-surges-after-saudi-kings-death/ar-AA8uAC4  Oil prices surge following the death of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Of Saudi Arabia The speculators and parasites never miss any opportunity to make money. 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...

The world has forgotten Bahrain.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/16/bahrain-maryam-al-khawaja_n_5337616.html?utm_hp_ref=uk Bahrain's Maryam Al-Khawaja Wants To Tell You About The Arab Revolt We've All Forgotten Maryam al-Khawaja has fled her home, to live in a country where she has no family or community. 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...

They still intend to attack Syria, no matter what the world may say or do.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/james-snell/syria-conflict_b_5179532.html?ir=UK+Politics     Syria's Bashar al Assad is "using lethal chlorine gas",  Western leaders fear. Syria calls Presidential election. "The Obama administration and its allies believe the Syrian government may have used chlorine gas in a deadly attack this month" War mongering interventionists, still clamoring to become involved in the Syrian civil war and still seriously miffed that their ambitions were thwarted. History is littered with examples of how seriously disturbed politicians and militarists, avidly supported by certain elements of the industrial sector, will continually seek to undermine and demonise any opposition to their expansionist agenda, and overturn any decisions which prevent them from carrying out their malevolent intentions. We should all hope that the hypocritical rantings on both sides of the Atlantic, of voices even now still seeking to atta...

Bahrain Grand Prix goes ahead despite protests on the streets.

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...
