Obama's buddies in the Sheikdoms of the ME give the finger to the USA and EU


HAHAHAHAHAHAH!   There goes the stick sticky with the bribe of 1 B+  that the  USA was holding over Egypt.   The Saudi mouthpiece AlArabiya is reporting that Egypt will be getting all the financial aid they need from the stinking Sunni sheikdoms. See how terrified the dictators are of the Muslim Brotherhood ?!    They want them completely destroyed much more than us.  We want the MB  gone because we are fighting sharia and jihad of every kind.  They want them gone in order to hold on to their dictatorships.

....Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister   Prince Saud al-Faisal said on Monday that Arab and Islamic nations will step in to help Egypt if Western countries cut their financial aid to Cairo over the a crackdown on Islamist loyalists of ousted President Mohammad Mursi. 

“To those who have announced they are cutting their aid to Egypt, or threatening to do that, (we say that) Arab and Muslim nations are rich... and will not hesitate to help Egypt,” al-Faisal said in a statement carried by SPA state news agency.

He was speaking upon his return from France, where he held talks with President Francois Hollande, who strongly condemned violence in Egypt.

Prince al-Faisal criticized Western condemnations of Egypt’s security crackdown against Islamists saying Egypt is fighting terrorism.


“All countries that take such negative attitudes toward Egypt should know that the blaze and ruin will not be limited to Egypt alone, but they will be reflected on all those who have contributed or stood by problems and disorders taking place in Egypt today,” Prince al-Faisal said.

“We will not consider those who ignore these facts and drift behind the flimsy propaganda and lies as a good faith or ignorance, but we will consider them as hostile attitudes against the interests of the Arab and Islamic nations and their stability,” Prince al-Faisal added.
Hundreds of people have been killed in the North African country since security forces began a clampdown on Muslim Brotherhood protests last week. 

U.S. Senator John McCain called on Washington to suspend its $1.3 billion in annual aid to Egypt’s military after it overthrew Islamist President Mursi on July 3.

But some U.S. lawmakers have expressed concern that cutting off aid could endanger the peace treaty with Israel or compromise U.S. privileges with regard to the Suez Canal.

Foreign ministers of the European Union are to hold emergency talks on Wednesday to review the bloc’s relations with Cairo.....

Bahrain's crackdown on protesters an embarrassment to UK's honcho?


How wrong you are dear Mr. David Wearing!  Nothing embarrasses the politicians of today.  They don't go on guilt trips like us ordinary folks because those ruling over us think they have been elevated to Mount Olympus and the golden thrones they sit upon will be theirs forever.  These people think they have become gods and their actions are far beyond the understanding of us stupid mortals.    Moreover,  don't you know that the USA's  honcho has sent one of the most powerful warships in the entire world, the USS Nimitz to Bahrain  to ensure that Bahrain's dictatorship and the dictatorships in the surrounding Sunni nations are protected from those vile citizens who don't know what's good for them?    So .... it's not just David Cameron that the Sunni dictators have in their back pocket,  Obama and the honcho from France are also keeping him company in the same pocket.  They like the gas emitting from the dictators' rear ends and will fight to death if anybody dares to dislodge them from that prized location.


David Wearing writing at NewStatesman:
...The crackdown in Bahrain  is an embarrassment for David Cameron
After David Cameron's recent meeting with King Hamad at Downing Street, the Bahrain authorities began a punitive clampdown on pro-democracy campaigners. Sooner or later, the PM's links with repressive Gulf states will come back to haunt him.



The current wave of repression in Bahrain is an embarrassment for David Cameron and the British government, with the Gulf state yesterday heading off the threat of pro-democracy demonstrations by deploying razor wire to prevent public assembly and attacking demonstrators with birdshot and teargas. Only last week, in the middle of the regime’s brutal pre-emptive crackdown on the opposition ahead of the planned protests, Cameron met King Hamad at Downing Street apparently to discuss deepening the strategic relationship between Bahrain and the UK. Indeed, it seems as though the more desperate the situation in Bahrain becomes, the closer Britain ties itself to its ruling family.........

Britainistan succumbs to massive bribe from Bahrain


Goodbye UK  ...  Hello Caliphate's first conquest in Europe.  The vid below is from Bahrain's News channel and was posted to YouTube  almost a year ago  when a defence contract was signed between islamized Britain and  shariah complaint Bahrain.  

The article below is from today's Telegraph ....tiny little drip, drip, drip for the consumption of the British public.  Nice eh?  The writer of course, sees no danger in such transactions and can only think of  the tonnes of money that's coming Britainistan's way.

If you think our own government does not play the same kind of tricks on us here in Canada .... think again. The only difference is ... we haven't uncovered  them as yet.



Con Coughlin writing at TelegraphUK:
....A huge new defence deal involving    the purchase of Typhoon fighters could see the Army and RAF take on a permanent role.....

....In April the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Bahrain even launched a campaign to persuade Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula One chief, to cancel this year’s Bahrain Grand Prix because of the country’s poor human rights record.
And yet when David Cameron marked his return from holiday this week by holding private talks with King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, the Bahraini monarch, hardly a voice was raised in protest.
If the absence of most MPs from Westminster meant that ministers were spared having to answer awkward questions about the state of our relations with Bahrain, this was not the only reason King Hamad’s London visit prompted such a muted response.............

...........the dawning realisation that a similar fate could befall the kingdoms of the Gulf that has persuaded Britain to adopt a more nuanced approach. Indeed, according to senior Bahraini officials who travelled with the royal party this week, one of the main items on the Downing Street agenda was Bahrain’s desire to sign a billion-pound arms deal with Britain to supply 12 state-of-the-art Typhoon fighters..........

............The government’s decision in 1971 to grant independence to the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and withdraw British forces west of the Suez Canal predated the Iranian revolution and its negative impact on the security of the region, upon which the West relies for more than 50 percent of its energy. But since coming to office Mr Cameron has spearheaded the diplomatic effort to re-engage with our traditional allies in the Gulf. He has taken business delegations to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and there is talk of a prime ministerial visit to Bahrain next year, when the kingdom is preparing to celebrate the bicentenary of its association with Britain. At the heart of this flurry of activity is the possibility of an arms deal between the UK and all the Gulf states – including Bahrain – which would provide a much-needed boost to the British defence industry while safeguarding the Arab world’s more vulnerable countries.

If a deal can be agreed – and detailed negotiations have been under way for more than a year – then the six states (Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait) would sign a multi-billion-pound contract to buy Typhoons and military equipment. In return, those countries would like to see Britain strengthen its military ties, with a permanent garrison of troops and an RAF combat squadron stationed in the Gulf..........

Muslim countries are throwing out infidels and what do we do here in the West?


We, of course, import more muslims. Foolish?  No!  It's more than foolish, it's deliberate mass suicide.  It's like how whales beach themselves for whatever reason that science has  not been able to fathom as yet. Only a few of us know what's happening, to us ... not the whales.   90% of the population is in the dark and the people in the darkest of darkness are our esteemed politicians who crap their pants at  even the thought that the word "racist"  might be attached to their sacred names if they as much as say they are gonna put an end to muslim immigration.

Mind you, along with infidels, the Sunni nations mentioned below are also throwing out non-citizen Shiites residing in their hellholes.  Wonder what's going to happen to Sunni-Shiite married couples and their children.   What a mess!  

Are these people filing for refugee status at the UN?  Will Canada take another 16% of the refugees of the world like we did last year?  Yes, we took in 16% of the world's troubled earthlings in 2012.  On what criteria? We the ordinary Joes and Janes are not privy to that.  Our overlords are of the opinion we can be tolerated  at the voting stations but not at the decision table.

From The Economist:
.....Amid unrest in the Gulf,  the authorities in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have in recent years sought to give more public-sector jobs to local citizens. But this drive towards “Emiratisation”, a policy launched three decades ago, may be accelerating. On July 4th the General Secretariat of the Executive Council (GSEC), Abu Dhabi’s top policy-making body, which reports to the ruling council under Muhammad bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the crown prince, fired almost all its foreign staff.

Some 60-70 people are thought to have got the chop, including many of the emirate’s most efficient senior civil servants. The GSEC is presumably confident it can fill the vacuum with Emiratis already on its staff. But foreigners working for the government will be twitchy, as Emiratisation speeds up.

.....Abu Dhabi is not the only place in the region to be pushing more locals into the job market. Kuwait announced earlier this year that it would reduce by a million the number of foreign workers in the country over the next ten years. More drastically, it has begun to deport foreigners for traffic violations, though it has denied that that is part of a policy to reduce their number.

Saudi Arabia has also long pursued “Saudi-isation”, whereby firms are made to replace foreigners with Saudi workers. Under the current law, known as nitaqat (“categories”), companies are classified by green, yellow and red labels that denote the extent to which they have complied with employment quotas. All firms, even those with fewer than ten employees, are supposed to hire at least one Saudi citizen.

The three other members of the Gulf Co-operation Council—Bahrain, Oman and Qatar—have their own variations on the theme of making their citizens work. Across the region, a further cull of jobs for foreigners looks likely.

History will show that the BBC was the #1 culprit in the downfall of the United Kingdom as a Christian country ....

and the transformation of it into a Caliphate.

Here's clear evidence that the BBC will exult and extol the murderous Muslims but go all out to slander and attack relentlessly the well-meaning patriots of the nation.  I hope everybody knows why they behave the way they do.  If not, all you have to do is pick a few names of the big shots at the BBC and the names of their  supporters within the UK govt. and do a bit of research to see how much  neck deep they are in gooey deals which make them millions of dollars ... all money somehow or the other having its origin in the oil-rich Arab countries.  It's all about money.  Judas did it, remember?   The BBC does it even better.  Judas did it for 40 pieces of silver.  BBC does it for probably  $40 million apiece to each of the traitors.

I wish someone had the time and means to look into the corruption at the BBC and their connection to the Middle East sheikdoms.  Make no mistake, there will be astounding revelations  if such an investigation is carried out by someone like the whistleblower hero Snowden.

Here comes World War III

USA enters yet another war.  With all the scandals going on,  this is a great strategy of the Left to take the focus away from Obama and his administration's many many blunders .... and guess who gives them the opportunity.  The Republicans of course.

The downfall of this great nation is to weep for.
If America thinks Russia and China are going to stay on the sidelines while USA goes crazy in Syria,  think again.  I feel for the helpless people of Syria, be they Christians or Muslims.   The madness of war is the worst curse on earth.

Syria will not be another Libya.... far from it.



....The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced Thursday.

"The president has made a decision about providing more support to the opposition that will involve providing direct support to the Supreme Military Council. That includes military support," Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communication Ben Rhodes told reporters.

President Obama has repeatedly said that the use of chemical weapons is a "red line" that, if crossed, would be a "game changer" for more U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war.  

"The President has been clear that the use of chemical weapons - or the transfer of chemical weapons to terrorist groups - is a red line for the United States," said Rhodes in a separate written statement.

"The President has said that the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus, and it has," he continued.

In terms of further response, Rhodes said, "we will make decisions on our own timeline" and that Congress and the international community would be consulted.  Mr. Obama is heading to Northern Ireland Sunday for a meeting of the G8 group of nations; Rhodes indicated the president will consult with leaders of those countries........

How the UN and its Muslim member nations are plotting to caliphate planet Earth


While searching the internet to find the document I wanted  to add as an update  to my claim that I had seen a paper "to make it possible for a delegate from the United Nations to act as interim "President" or "Prime Minister" of any country"  I found yet another ploy originating from hell United Nations on how to  bring about a one world government ruled by of course the UN itself.

The article below  is really worth reading in full.   More postings of such ploys to follow as I continue looking for that evasive document on non-elected Presidents and Prime Ministers to be supplied  from within the UN.   Notice how this particular conference had Muslims at the helm of things.  Check out the areas I have highlighted.

The article below is especially ironic at this point in time as we suffer from severe  shell shock  at  the latest whistleblower  disclosure of  what the USA's NSA  has been doing for over a decade.  

The vid below was posted in November last year.

Eli Dourado writing arstechnica:
Behindclosed doors at the UN’s attempted “takeover of the Internet”   Conflicting visions for the future of the Internet collide in Dubai.

In early December, I found myself in an odd position: touching down in Dubai with credentials to attend a 12-day closed-door meeting of the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). It's a meeting I spent the last six months trying to expose.

Though the world had been assured that WCIT would not attempt to mount a “UN takeover of the Internet,” that was in many ways what happened..........

....The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the UN agency convening the meeting, vigorously denied that the conference would have anything to do with the Internet at all. The purpose of the meeting, claimed ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré, was simply to update the treaty that governs international phone calls; it had last been revised in 1988, when most phone companies were state-owned monopolies. Claims that the conference would implicate the Internet were part of a misinformation campaign pursued by unnamed opponents of the ITU, Touré said. In any case, the ITU was just a convener of the WCIT, and actual decisions would be made by member states on a non-voting, consensus-driven basis. The ITU, it was said, had no agenda of its own......

....Soon after this, the Chairman of the conference, Mohamed Al-Ghanim, threw everything into disarray. Because it was now Day 8 and so much of the text was still in brackets.........

......Everyone grew frustrated and tired. After working long hours each day, text was beginning to trickle back up to Plenary still laden with brackets, and it was clear that consensus would be difficult, if not impossible, to reach. The US pleaded for everything to be handled in Plenary, rather than cascading down and back up through the chain of groups with little progress.



Amid this frustration, host country United Arab Emirates (UAE) dropped a bombshell. It announced that it was putting forward a new “multi-regional common proposal,” a complete rewrite of the treaty to substitute for all the bracketed text we had worked on. It had support from numerous member states. Bahrain, Russia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Oman all expressed support for the document, which was not yet available for inspection.....

.........The document indicated that it was to be submitted jointly by Russia, UAE, China, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan, and Egypt. It read like a compilation of the most objectionable proposals—it would have nationalized key aspects of Internet governance, including naming and numbering (currently handled by the nongovernmental ICANN), and it created new member state obligations with respect to Internet security. Despite the ITU’s claims that WCIT was not going to be about the Internet, there we were, halfway through the conference, and the Internet was still on the table.......

........We continued to try to make the text work. At one point, US lead negotiator Richard Beaird pleaded that only one additional word—“correspondence”—was necessary to make the definition of a key term acceptable. This appeal was rejected. (The term “public correspondence” would have limited the applicability of the treaty roughly to the traditional common carriers, while “public” alone could have implicated any company providing telecommunication services to anybody.)......

......As a series of countries asked for the floor to express support for Touré’s modified resolution, Ambassador Kramer spoke on behalf of the United States, clearly signaling that the US did not support the resolution.

What followed was surreal. The Chairman calmly said that he had a long list of countries wishing to speak, and that in lieu of going through the list, he was going to take the “feel of the room” by asking countries to hold up their voting boards if they supported the resolution as amended by the Secretary-General. After also asking for those against, the Chairman said simply, “The majority is with having the resolution in.” After some applause, he added, “Thank you. Now we can go to Corrigendum 2.”.......

.........I woke up on Day 11 feeling very encouraged, despite everything. The situation was now out of our hands. Between the Internet resolution, the scope of the operators covered, and the new articles on security and spam, the United States would not sign the treaty.

Furthermore, I looked to the future. After last night’s performance, the ITU could never again deny that it had designs on the Internet, it could never again imply that those who were concerned about the possibility of a takeover of some aspects of Internet governance by nation-states were misinformed conspiracy theorists. The battle lines were now drawn, and this clarity comforted me. But would we stand alone?......

.....The United States took the floor. Ambassador Kramer announced that the US would not be signing the new treaty. He was followed by the United Kingdom. Sweden said that it would need to consult with its capital (code in UN-speak for “not signing”). Canada, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Kenya, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and the Czech Republic all made similar statements before the Chairman cut the meeting short.
All told, 89 countries signed while 55 did not. .....

Wanna know which military inventions America gonna sell to "friendly countries" of Qatar and Oman?


Shameful !!  Once these supposedly "friendly countries" get the know-how,  you can take it for granted that within no time at all  so too will the "unfriendly countries".

Rich Smith writing at TheMotleyFool:
....The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA)  filed two separate notifications with Congress Wednesday, informing American legislators of plans to make foreign military sales to the Mideast nations of Oman and Qatar [links open in PDF].

Both notifications involve the planned sale of AN/AAQ-24(V) Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Systems -- a Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC  ) -developed system for protecting aircraft from heat-seeking missiles by "blinding" the missiles with onboard laser systems. Oman and Qatar want to purchase two LAIRCM systems apiece, with contract values estimated at $100 million and $110 million, respectively.

In each case, the nations plan to install the LAIRCM systems aboard Boeing aircraft tasked with carrying their heads of state. DSCA says that allowing these nations to equip their aircraft with the LAIRCM system will "enhance the safety" of their "political leadership, promoting stability and global engagement of a friendly country."

According to DSCA's notifications, both sales are expected to "contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a partner country which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East." Meanwhile, "no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness" is expected to result from the sales.

If allowed to proceed, Northrop Grumman will be the prime contractor on both sales........

Wanna know what's going on in the hellholes our leaders tell us are our "allies" ?


The MSM not gonna tell you nothing.  They  are all compromised.  FoxNews has gone to the other side, only its shell remains.  NYTimes was lost long ago and so too every newspaper company trading on the stock exchanges ... whether those companies are American, Canadian, British or Australian .... every single one reports with one eye closed and one hand tied behind their back.  The Arabs have been buying stock in the  available print media for decades and they have successfully managed to place their own insiders on each and every BOD of each and every organization.  The only voice of any dissent is to be found on the internet.....at least for now until taken away.

Saudi Arabia:
Saudi authorities have ordered shops employing both men and women to build separation walls to enforce the strict segregation laws of the ultra-conservative kingdom, local press reported on Monday.
Labour minister Adel Faqih issued the order which also had the stamp of Abdul Latif Al Shaikh, the head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, commonly known as Mutawa and religious police, several dailies reported.
The order stipulated that a separation barrier, not shorter than 1.6 metres, should be erected to divide working men and women......

Bahrain:
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) expresses grave concern   over the continued use of excessive force to restrict and attack freedom of expression and assembly in Bahrain despite announced plans by the regime for political dialogue. 
On 25 January 2013, hundreds of Bahrainis took to the streets in the capital city of Manama and peacefully protested demanding their rights, including the right to self-determination. The Ministry of Interior set up security checkpoints and road blocks on streets leading to the capital to restrict access.
Despite these restrictions, people managed to get into Manama, and upon arrival, were violently attacked by a large number of security forces with tear gas and stun grenades, which also impacted people passing by and the shop keepers in the old market. Tear gas was shot from close distance at people in the narrow allies of Manama, which were crowded with protesters and shoppers. 
The Ministry of Interior called the protest “illegal” in a statement, criminalizing freedom of assembly, at a time when Bahraini law only requires a notification rather than authorization for rallies.....

Oman:
 ....On 16 January the appeal court handed down prison sentences to eight writers and bloggers for lèse-majesté and cyber crimes: 

- Esmaeel Al-Miqbali, received a one-and-a-half year sentence. He is held in detention. 
- Hassan Al-Roqaishi received a one-and-a-half year sentence. He is held in detention. 
- Eshaq Al-Aghbari, received a one-year sentence. He has been released. 
- Ali al-Hajji had his sentence reduced from 18 months to one year. He is held in Samail central prison. 
- Mahmoud Al-Jamodi was given a one-and-a-half year sentence. He is held in detention. 
- Mukhtar Al-Hinai received a one-year sentence and a fine of 1,000 rials (1,950 euros). He is held in detention. 

The appeal court also upheld the sentences on three other bloggers and activists, each of whom received a one-year prison term and a fine of 1,000 rials. All are held in detention : Ahmed Al-Maamari, Awad Al-Sawafi and Osama Al-Thuwaiya. .....

UAE:
UAE accuses 94 Emiratis of conspiring to sieze power    28 January 2013 - Today, the human rights record of the United Arab Emirates will be reviewed by the UN Human Rights Council as the situation in the country continues to deteriorate. On this occasion, the undersigned organisations call on Human Rights Council member-states to urge the United Arab Emirates to put an end to the current crackdown against peaceful human rights defenders and political activists and to honour its commitments as a newly elected member of the Human Rights Council to “uphold[s] the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights” (UN General Assembly resolution 50/251 para. 9). 
Ongoing crackdown on freedom of expression: detention, torture, smear campaign & attacks on peaceful activists .................

Nepalese, Ethiopian and Filipina workers kept as slaves in Arab lands and yet the West considers these same demonic countries allies


The world has gone stark, raving mad.
The West considers Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar  and Oman as  their  allies and friends.    I find it disgusting that our own Minister of Foreign Affairs recently journeyed to these lands  and has  let these slave masters not only talk to him but also influence him with their taqiyyah.  Have we in the West lost all dignity and all humanity???  Has our hatred of the Iranian regime made us blind  to the  countries in the world where  human right abuses are at their worst?  

From the BBC:
Nepal has banned women    under the age of 30 from going to work in Middle Eastern countries amid growing concerns that they are being exploited.
Common complaints include physical and sexual abuse, poor conditions and non-payment of salaries.
The move comes 18 months after the government ended a 12-year ban on women working in Gulf countries.
It was imposed after a young woman, who had been abused in Kuwait, committed suicide, sparking outrage in Nepal.



Every day, an estimated 1,000 people leave Nepal for the Middle East for jobs as housemaids. It is estimated that there are as many as 200,000 Nepalese women working there unofficially.
But they can be vulnerable and Nepal's embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of women seeking shelter after alleged physical and sexual abuse.
"Young female workers are reported to have been sexually and psychologically exploited in Gulf countries," Information Minister Raj Kishor Yadav was quoted as saying in the Himalayan Times English-language daily newspaper.......

amie Glazov in FrontPageMag writes
....The most frequent cause of death  among immigrant housemaids in GCC Member States is “falling down from high floors” according to an attorney investigating worker grievances.  Some of these women may have been driven to suicide by their horrid circumstances, but many probably were murdered.  There is no respect for their lives.

An Emirati woman and her male neighbor were convicted in Abu Dhabi of stripping the woman’s Asian housemaid naked and beating her to death with a frying pan, then threatening the maid’s colleague against reporting the murder to authorities.

Three Kuwaiti men stalking a Sri Lankan housemaid waited for her to finish shopping and start walking home before jumping on her and throwing her into their car.  They then drove to an empty lot behind a building and took turns in raping her despite her constant screams.  The attackers have not yet been found.

In 2008, in the United Arab Emirates, a woman who was gang-raped by a group of men was imprisoned for eight months for adultery after reporting the crime to the police.

Employers or Sponsors often rape housemaids too.  If a pregnancy results, they will abuse her until she miscarries, get her deported, or cause her death.  If her child somehow survives, it will have no rights, no protection, no food, and no shelter.

A Saudi employer and his wife were arrested in Riyadh for torturing a Sri Lankan housemaid by hammering 18 heated nails into her arms, legs, and forehead.  The nails ranged in length from one to three inches.  The case is still pending.



Another Indonesian maid was tortured and so badly maimed and burned by her female Saudi employer that she became unrecognizable as the pretty 23-year-old she had been.  Before and after pictures in this article would make any decent person both sick and very angry.  Also, the employer, though initially sentenced to three years for her crime, was later allowed to go free.

The appeals court in Kuwait upheld the death sentence of a Kuwaiti housewife for murdering her Filipina domestic helper but commuted the punishment on her disabled husband.  They had regularly beaten the maid until her health failed, then taken her to the desert where they threw her out of the car and ran over her repeatedly until she died.....

In other news besides the "I can't believe it" election in Canada

I have stopped looking at the  polls ... they go against reason, common sense and logic. If the Conservatives don't get a majority, which majority I have predicted should happen  largely thanks to Ontario, then I will go into a period of mourning which will last until the Conservatives are back in power. I refuse to believe that Ontarians have been so dumbed down that they would still vote Liberal or NDP  even after all the madness we have had to put up with, with the Libs governing this province. If they are that dumb, then they deserve what they get.

1) Another arab dictatorship going down? Sultanate of Oman: ....At least 1,000 protesters have taken to the streets in Oman's southern port city of Salalah in one of the biggest pro-reform demonstrations since scattered unrest began in the Gulf Arab sultanate two months ago.

2) Bahrain: (This from Al Jazeera ....so it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt).
Security forces have seized at least eight health workers from two separate medical facilities in Bahrain, sources tell Al Jazeera. The Aali Health Centre in Manama was raided early on Tuesday morning, as shown in an image posted by an activist on Facebook. Medical staff working in the two centres were beaten and an unknown number were arrested.


3) Syria: This is a translation and as online translation go, it's not good .... but you will get the gist of what is happening to many of the injured taken to hospitals. Many of them are killed off by the doctors and other personnel royal to the dictator. Unbelievable. Do you think NATO will intervene?  I doubt it !!!  Not much to grab there.


WARNING: The video below  is VERY graphic. The Arab League are sitting back and watching all these killings without lifting a finger  and as usual will press the UN to get NATO to come into their backyards  while cursing the West in the same breath.



4) Morocco: Thousands took to the streets of Morocco .on Sunday in peaceful demonstrations to demand sweeping reforms and an end to political detention, the third day of mass protests since they began in February



5) Libya: USA goes wading deeper in the arab cesspool and will, as usual, pull Canada with it. Why can't we just say "NO". The United States launched its first Predator drone strike in Libya on Saturday, the Defense Department said in a statement. It did not provide details on the target of the strike, saying only that it occurred in the early afternoon local time in Libya. Gates announced on Thursday that the unmanned aircraft would be used in Libya for Hellfire missile attacks on the forces of leader Muammar Gaddafi.



6) Kuwait/Iran: Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah of Kuwait confirmed . on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi that Iranian diplomats accused of spying have been expelled amid heightened Gulf tensions. “We kicked them out,” Sheikh Mohammed told reporters on the sidelines of a Gulf Cooperation Council-European Union ministerial meeting when asked about Iranian diplomats that Kuwait had said it would expel


7) The story of Mohammed Bouazizi, Tunisian street vendor. Dr.Daniel Pipes on how it all started. ....Twenty-six years old, unmarried, and the main provider for a fatherless family of eight, Bouazizi suffered from these predations. On the fateful day of December 17, he dragged his unlicensed wooden fruit cart loaded with produce as usual to the market at 10 a.m. Two police officers along the way — one of them Fadiya Hamdi, female, age 36, and an eleven-year force veteran — began helping themselves to his fruits.....

8) Lefty media ...they just don't know that it's time for them lay themselves down for their last rites. In my opinion, Leftism is a mental disorder which we have tolerated for far too long. If you want to let out a sarcastic guffaw, just read this garbage from the Guardian UK ... the title itself will make you snort: " Women have emerged as key players in the Arab spring"

9) Yemen: As many as 10 protesters were killed .  A protest march was reportedly winding its way toward the state television headquarters when gunmen opened fire on the crowd and scattered the demonstrators.........  by plainclothes government loyalists in the Sana’a, the Yemeni capital, on Wednesday, as a general strike paralysed economic activity in several cities throughout the country



10) Saudi Arabia : Authorities in Saudi Arabia have detained two Shi'ite bloggers .this week for taking part in demonstrations in the country's oil-producing Eastern Province, a Shi'ite website and activists said on Wednesday

The Sunni Muslim monarchy of Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter and major U.S. ally, does not tolerate any form of dissent. It has not seen the kind of mass uprisings other countries in the region have over the past few months.
