As a European commentator noted recently, it is symbolic that the president of the most advanced democracy in the world makes his first foreign trip to the most feudal among Arab monarchies.
On the other hand, US citizens at large see happening what they vaguely expected, and probably wanted when they voted for Trump. Namely, that the curtain of elitist euphemisms and contrived metaphors masking the lying and the rudeness of previous administrations, would be dropped in favor of greater coarseness of expression and less palpable disguise.
This is apparent even in the body language and voice of (at least some) members of the Cabinet. I think particularly of the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. With his cowboy name, he may not have an Eastwood smile and a Robert Redford hair, but when he begins to speak, it is as if he said, “I am sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips, let no dog bark.”
Still, for unbiased observers of the worldly scene, the de-facto alliance between Israel, the US and the Saudi monarchy, however thinly disguised, is unspeakable, unbelievable and unimaginable. It is a truly unholy trinity where Israel is God, the US the Son, and Saudi Arabia the hellish Ghost.
For while everybody knows who did 9/11 but is not allowed to say it, everybody is now allowed to say who financed it. And, equally, who set up, funds and finances the mercenaries of the so-called ISIS and their associates with sundry other names.
It will be the task of a courageous and dedicated historian to trace the seeds of the faked resurgence of a Mohammedan Sect – Salafists or Wahabis or whatever – and of its conversion into a well funded and organized mercenary army and state, with an actual political and economic infrastructure to boot.
For no one, unless he be a cultured Muslim, heard of Sunnis, Shias, Salafists and Wahabis, until after Reagan financed the plot to remove the lay government in Afghanistan that had called the Soviet Union to its aid. And apart from the spilled blood of thousands, it is ironic that the emblem image of “pre-freedom” Afghanistan is the picture of young girls in European skirt and uniform walking to their school. Whereas the iconic image of “post-freedom” Afghanistan is the dynamiting of the 5th centuries “Buddahs of Bamiyan,” by the US-financed and now somewhat unruly “freedom fighters.” And most recently, the footprint left by the explosion of the American “mother of all bombs,” and alleged consequent hecatomb of “insurgents.”
As for Saudi Arabia, I can say I know something about the country through direct experience. During my first job, my employer sent me to Saudi Arabia to explore the option, the difficulties and the opportunities of opening a branch office in Riyadh, the capital.
While still on the plane, I had bought a Glen Fiddich in one of those mini bottles shaped like the original. Then, through the speaker, passengers were reminded that no alcoholic beverages were allowed off the plane after landing in Dhahran, the port of entry. Still infused with some of the goliardic spirit, I decided on the spot to conduct a test – partly a student’s prank and partly a sociological experiment.
Waiting in the lounge for the next connection, I positioned the unopened mini Glen Fiddich in the geometrical center of an empty seat in a row of empty seats, and waited at a distance for what would happen next.
After a few minutes an Arab in his night-gown (which experts call jillaba, but it still looks like a night gown to me), began to circle the seats, much as a bird of prey hovers over the center of its killing field.
After two rounds, the Arab sat down on the chair and when he got up the Glen Fiddich had disappeared.
Later in Riyadh I was struck by the almost total absence of women in the streets. Of course women could not (and still cannot) drive. No doubt a sign of progress for die-hard male chauvinists.
My other discovery was that, in the world of local business people dealing with American and European counterparts, there were few who were not either sheiks or princes, as printed on their business card.
My immediate reference was a sheik who could not speak English but used the services of his factotum-manager for interpretation. He was a Pakistani, who spoke an amusing English, with words reminiscent of Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” made even more amusing by his Pakistani accent.
In fairness, the sheik entertained me in a way that seemed royal to me, given my humble expectations. His house was richly decorated with the beautiful intricate Arabic geometrical mosaics and scripts, and with enormous rugs.
He organized a banquet, held in the center of his house-compound, under the stars, with guests customarily accommodated on the ground. Several of them spoke English, and throughout the dinner I was vaguely aware of some black moving shadows hardly standing out against the obscured background of the other inner side of the building.
As we stood up at the banquet’s end, a group of several uncounted children jumped out from the dark and eagerly partook of the large quantity of unconsumed food. The black, hardly-noticeable shadows, I learned later, were the four wives of the sheik and the children were his offspring.
After the initial introductions and discussion, the sheik left me in the hands of his interpreter-manager who accompanied me through the length of my stay in Riyadh. And he also told me something about local customs and culture.
From the notes of my faded diary, I read that at one time he said, “Here in Saudi Arabia, if you kill a man they cut your head. If you are a thief and make a theft, they cut your hand. And if you go with a girl and do an evil thing…. “
“Hold it – I said – you need not go any further. I think I’ve got the picture.” “No – he said – you have an evil mind. If you go with a girl and do an evil thing, they stone you to death.”
Of course I had no intention to do any evil thing of the sort, especially in Saudi Arabia, but my host’s lecture strengthened my determination. Even if…. “all this the world well knows, yet none knows well how to shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.”
But I digress. It seems, however, that so many years later, little has changed as far as Saudi Arabia-American relations. And if it did, I think it did for the worse – compounded with a widespread perception that, for the Western-Zionist-Saudi cabal, the world at large is a den of fools, save the 1% or equivalent.
Circumstances of no elegant recital concur to raise disgust. One example, as clear as the summer’s sun, is the election of the Saudi Mr. Abdulaziz Alwasil as representative of the UN Human Rights Council. And, notwithstanding Saudi Arabia’s record on religious freedom and justice at large, this worthy official will have vote and oversight, among other things, on “freedom of religion and belief” and “integrity of the judicial system.”
That could even pass for a joke. But, apart from the President’s visit to Saudi Arabia, the US driven cabal is dropping ever more rapidly the myth of America as a custodian of liberty. It is not an exaggeration that whatever US foreign policy touches becomes scorched earth, with victims in the millions, assassination of progressive leaders and annihilation of the soul of nations. To pay homage to the genocidal murderers of Yemen says much about what is loosely called the American image.
As evident at large, to destroy the capacity of independent thought, the cabal has completely subjugated academia, through the lure of money or the threat of harm. For no one really understands the true nature of fawning servility until he has seen an academic who has glimpsed the prospect of money, or personal publicity.
The Constitution is still held as an untouchable symbol of American democracy. In practice it is a myth, quoted for effect or convenience, and more honored in the breach than in the observance.
There is a universe of lies, distortions and deformations that the capitalist world wraps around the masses – masses it despises and detests. It is the reflection of the pervading subservience to the interests of the 1%, and of a mythical and in itself distorted vision of the Western world.
As observed recently in France, a ruthless Fascism won the elections pretending to be anti-Fascist. And as a journalist noted, the European Union is but a media dictatorship, practicing the utopia of supreme selfishness.
To peddle the European Union as a means to prevent European nations waging war against each other is a sick joke. Sick because it implies that without the EU, Europeans were and would continue to seethe with lust at the idea of killing each other. Whereas, it was two fascisms – different in name but not in kind, and competing with each other for supremacy – that led Europe to slaughter, twice.
Furthermore, the famed prosperity that the EU should deliver to its citizens is a senseless euphemism to mask the implementation of extreme capitalism, imposed by the local servants of the transatlantic master.
For a while, the presence of the Soviet Union forced so-called Keynesian policies across the European continent. They led to the greatest growth and income distribution in the Western world. It’s no wonder that it was necessary and indispensable to destroy the only remaining obstacle to the end of history.
We are living in the final winning stage of neo-liberal capitalism, primitive, ruthless, instinctive, though masked in its spirit and action by the airy and almost meaningless lexicon of academic lackeys and economists. Neo-liberal philosophy spreads misery at large, more often not by a heavy crush of disaster, but by the corrosion of less visible evils, which undermine security and by building anxiety inject a chronic fear of life.
All this has slowly, inadvertently but steadily become custom. And established custom is not easily broken, till some great event shakes the whole system of things, and life seems to recommence upon new principles.
Meanwhile, a “super-centrist”, multi-level, multi-form and multi-faceted world government, meaningfully renamed ‘governance’ is clearing away the remnants of democracy, while the democrats applaud. On both sides of the pond, and probably in Saudi Arabia as well.
It’s truly difficult to understand what is going on inside the Trump White House, but this indicates that Trump is not what we hoped he was:
Joe Lieberman Emerges As “Frontrunner” For FBI Director Post
With Joe Lieberman emerging as a potential candidate for the FBI Director post only over the past 48 hours, Trump delivered another surprise today when he told reporters that he is “very close” to making his choice, with multiple officials telling NBC News and CNN that former Sen. Joe Lieberman is the current “frontrunner” for the job.
If Trump is either forced or stupid enough to make Joe Lieberman FBI Director. Then he really is lost. Without any hope to survive has Presidency. He might as well resign right now. Lieberman is a Democrat,a neo-con,a zionist (heavy),and a Russophobe. Putting him in that post makes letting “the fox into the henhouse” seem like a good idea.
There are more potential scenarios than forced or stupid. He very well could be doing it all on purpose and be very clever. He could be doing it all on purpose and just be a stupid puppet. Maybe he’s part of the big club that we are not.
Nothing of real consequence has been accomplished. The best he can do is rant on Twitter. The man has the bully pulpit of the US Presidency. If he wanted he could go on television daily and lay out his case to the people in an adult way. But then there would be hard questions amonst the flurry of stupid ones. Instead he tweets.
Let’s face it. Goldman Sachs and Jared Kushner are the modern Colonel House and Trump is 100% a team player. This has been going on for a very long time. They are very good at it. We the people lose everytime we play.
Stop playing.
So as a capitalist, I must object. There is nothing the author wrote that jives with capitalism. The US government or EU doing things with either fraudulent fiat or with coerced tax monies is pretty much the antithesis of capitalism.
Also, two fascisms lead to two world wars? I’m pretty sure communism and fascism are both forms of socialism. I’m also pretty sure that WWII began in earnest when the fascists learned of the communist plans to invade but launced first and achieved stunning victories, for a while. There was no imminent threat from the west against either.
To clarify the above, take a line from left to right. On the furthest left is communism. Next to it, just a bit to the right, is fascism. Another peg left is “socialism”. And so on and so forth until you reach the furthest right end of the spectrum and there you will find capitalists, libertarians, and then anarchists.
Capitalism, by definition, cannot be coercive beyond a better product/service/price/value/trust being the determining factor. When you start forcing people to pay for something they do not want or using the education system to brainwash them into believing lies, or supporting countries that are despised by the people then you are in another land altogether further to the left of capitalism.
Perhaps the weakness if man’s character was used to corrupt capitalism in the west and use it for nefarious ends which move us closer to a global dictatorship but hell, that is the goal of socialism anyway. Lenin himself said something to the effect that, the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.
Anyway, the evil in the world is not do to capitalism. It is due to the nature of some men’s hearts and a lot of men’s lack of backbone. Most of those people reside from the middle to far left of the spectrum, very far from capitalism.
“Capitalism, by definition, cannot be coercive beyond a better product/service/price/value/trust being the determining factor. When you start forcing people to pay for something they do not want or using the education system to brainwash them into believing lies, or supporting countries that are despised by the people then you are in another land altogether further to the left of capitalism.”
Sounds promising. But you missed one crucial, indeed defining, characteristic of capitalism: commodification. Commodification is, to paraphrase your words, forcing people to pay for something they do want, or rather would die without. Such as when US multinational Bechtel — hiding behind an obscure dummy brand for good measure — tried to grab Bolivia’s fresh water supplies, indeed conspiring with the US lackey government there to make the collection of rainwater illegal. Monsanto is similar.
But, never mind, the basket of deplorables of the world can always ask for a loan in the bank, the more costly the poorer the customer. Corollary question: Which education system planted these funny perceptions of capitalism in your head?
Yep, you’re right, N.
I hate to repeat myself but the good or evil of whatever the tool or ideology or system that is picked up and used hugely depends on the consciousness of those that pick up that tool. Whether it be an axe, a gun, capitalism, communism, freemasonry, Islam, variants of Christianity or what have you!
None of these things purely in and of themselves contain solely within themselves that which guarantees that they will be the primary cause of any beneficial effect in the material or even the spiritual domain.
So much (it increasingly seems) for the idea of positive change via” working within the system.” The system co-opts everybody in it.
Absolutely, sometimes the system cannot be changed from the inside, this much is now evident and has been evinced historically time and again, and this is one of those moments. In England in 1640, Cromwell tried to persuade the King to be more reasonable and devolve some of his powers to Parliament, but Charles, being the appointee of the deity, I wasn’t having any of it. It took a 10 year civil war and a decapitation of the Monarch to destroy and inter the old order. Again it was the unreasonableness of King George that led to the Americans to take up arms against the British. Then the French Revolution, then the Russian revolution …. and on and on. Ancien Regimes will fight tooth and claw to hang on to their dominance and they won’t necessarily play by Marquess of Queensbury rules. Why do we expect the present time to be any different.
Nonsense with reference to the “Russian Revolution”. The Tsar did not hang on to power tooth and claw, he peacefully abdicated in March 1917 just like Nixon resigned in 1974. Then there were elections and there was an elected government (Kerensky, Lvov, etc.). Everything was on track for normal development of history, until the Communists committed treason during wartime and overthrew the democratically elected government.
“Everything was on track for normal development of history, until the Communists committed treason during wartime and overthrew the democratically elected government.”
I have a sneaky feeling that what passes for ‘normal development of history’ amounts to total, permanent destruction of Russia. Instead, thanks to the Communists, Russia became a superpower not relying on looting and genocide for its survival. Kerensky was a despicable Western bootlicker, happily sending starving Russians to the trenches of WW1 for the benefit of the Entente.
co-opts and destroys. It is all eating itself without even realising it. The frightened paranoid 1%. The insanity is palpable, the refusal to acknowledge reality, what is actually happening, is full and total.
until after Reagan financed the plot to remove the lay government in Afghanistan
Reagan continued what had been started under Carter (Operation Cyclone) – advised by Brzezinski.
Carter continued what had been started by Eisenhower:
“In 1953, the year before the Brotherhood was outlawed by Nasser, a covert US propaganda program headed by the US Information Agency brought over three dozen Islamic scholars and civic leaders mostly from Muslim countries for what officially was an academic conference at Princeton University. The real reason behind the meeting was an effort to impress the visitors with America’s spiritual and moral strength, since it was thought that they could influence Muslims’ popular opinion better than their ossified rulers. The ultimate goal was to promote an anti-Communist agenda in these newly independent countries, many of which had Muslim majorities.
One of the leaders, according to Eisenhower’s appointment book, was “The Honorable Saeed Ramahdan, Delegate of the Muslim Brothers.”* The person in question (in more standard romanization, Said Ramadan), was the son-in-law of the Brotherhood’s founder and at the time widely described as the group’s “foreign minister.” (He was also the father of the controversial Swiss scholar of Islam, Tariq Ramadan.)
Eisenhower officials knew what they were doing. In the battle against communism, they figured that religion was a force that US could make use of—the Soviet Union was atheist, while the United States supported religious freedom. Central Intelligence Agency analyses of Said Ramadan were quite blunt, calling him a “Phalangist” and a “fascist interested in the grouping of individuals for power.” But the White House went ahead and invited him anyway.
By the end of the decade, the CIA was overtly backing Ramadan. While it’s too simple to call him a US agent, in the 1950s and 1960s the United States supported him as he took over a mosque in Munich, kicking out local Muslims to build what would become one of the Brotherhood’s most important centers—a refuge for the beleaguered group during its decades in the wilderness. In the end, the US didn’t reap much for its efforts, as Ramadan was more interested in spreading his Islamist agenda than fighting communism. In later years, he supported the Iranian revolution and likely aided the flight of a pro-Teheran activist who murdered one of the Shah’s diplomats in Washington.
Cooperation ebbed and flowed. During the Vietnam War, US attention was focused elsewhere but with the start of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, interest in cultivating Islamists picked up again. That period of backing the mujahedeen— some of whom morphed into al-Qaeda—is well-known, but Washington continued to flirt with Islamists, and especially the Brotherhood”.

It is a history of collusion from start to [the open] end.
WizOz
During the Vietnam War, US attention was focused elsewhere but with the start of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, interest in cultivating Islamists picked up again.
Did the Soviet Union first start the war in Afghanistan and then the US supported Islamists or did the US support Islamists in order to draw the Soviet Union into the war?
As far as I know the US supported the Taliban first, then the Soviet Union intervened on behalf of the government. So, … how could US attention be focused elsewhere, when they caused the intervention of the Soviets in the first place?
Correct. Brzezinski in The Grand Chessboard boasts his nefarious plan was to “give the Soviets their own Vietnam”….. ie/ big them down in a pointless war of attrition.
But there was even more in the deep background. The US believed there were huge oil reserves in the Caspian Sea. And as we know, where there’s oil, there’s “US interests” in play.
….. Now lookie here at what I turned up (from June 2001after a quick searchie…. (the June publication date is significant as it is pre 9/11, but only just…..) ….
The Great Caspian Sea Oil Pipeline Game ||. By Andrew I. Killgore
Some interesting excerpts:…..
……. the “Great Caspian Sea Oil Pipeline Game” is “messy,” with many players and complex competing interests.
Multiply the messiness by 10 because, although the oil companies involved overwhelmingly do not support it, Israel wants this longest and most expensive pipeline from Baku, Azerbaijan to Ceyhan (pronounced Jayhan), Turkey—Israel’s only Middle East ally, as indicated in the quote above.
And when Israel is involved everything gets tangled, especially for the United States.
……….
….. All kinds of estimates of the amounts of oil that may lie beneath the Caspian’s brackish waters are floating about, some putting the potential almost in a league with Saudi Arabia.
…………
…… Whether Baku-Ceyhan ever will be built is increasingly doubtful.
Israel needs it to demonstrate to Turkey that Ankara’s alliance with the Jewish state“pays off.”
…. If the line is built it will represent a new Israeli raid on the US treasury, because Baku-Ceyhan will cost $1 billion to $2 billion more than would a line through Iran.
The US or an international lending agency under American influence will have to come up with the difference.
To increase Baku-Ceyhan’s chances the US opposes any pipeline going through Russia or Iran. That has thrown the two old enemies together—surely an unintended consequence of a US policy driven by Israel.
Andrew I. Killgore is the publisher of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, on Middle East Affairs.
* how convenient that 9/11 “allowed” the US to declare war on Afghanistan, and thus mooch around the Caspian….

Thank you, this was informative
And before that British spies and Orientalists oversaw the creation of MB in the first place.
They made deep studies into the history of the Islamic world and designed a melange of old variants with the aim of preventing development and making them ‘useful’ in the way we see happen today. Britains program for exploiting Islam dates back to the 1820s after the Napoleonic wars. The christian End-timers and zionism was created in the 1830s-40s
And continental Europe was being stimulated to build-up animosity against the jews along with all other upheavals the British stooges organized. All of it is that old and that British in origin.
And the coming British Monarch is called Charles of Eurabia, king of Muslims.
The idea of holding back the development of the arab world and fighting its Panarabic nationalism would be a more accurate characterization of what the americans meant by preventing a Sovjet threat. The only threat was and is about loosing hegemonic power and joining a worldwide peaceful cooperation.
Well done American “patriots”….
It is one thing for your nation to be feared.
To be hated.
But now …. Openly mocked and despised.
Thorbjorn Jagland: These pictures (protocol photoshoot) won’t cause any problems for you?

To the genuine American patriots, my deepest condolences.
From every other country we once looked to America with hope, awe; as a beacon to admire; for inspiration and aspiration. …. Now?
And I imagine you, the genuine patriots, you mourn the loss of “your” America, every bit as we, the global citizens, who once *thought* we saw the promise of a better, fairer world.

Lets just say we were all deluded with US. Not anymore. All the world now see is a rotten empire in decline but still dangerous and ready to push us all into abyss.
I almost agree with you. The US is certainly rotten, in decline, and dangerous but it is not the empire. The US is a vassal state. How can I prove this? Does the US benefit the most from the empire or does another country? Who actually controls the US (follow the money supply)? To whom do the spoils of war go?
Israel was a British project from the beginning and who gained control over America during the 1800s? Answer British Aristocrats did that. Exploiting the jews as proxies. As well as Christians as proxies. The End Times crazed fundamentalists are immerged in the US military preparing for the apocalypic war they expect from their British-made religion.
And also in large measure the Muslim Brotherhood may be viewed as their proxy.
The British Fabians were designing islamisation of Europe already in the 1920s but their plan to use islam dates back to the 1820s
I enjoyed reading this article as I had very similar experiences as the author of this article during my 9 years in Saudi Arabia. Everything he mentioned about Saudi was 100%. Early on during my stay there (1978-1980) the area was relatively peaceful. No American bases, no major wars and no trust between Arabs and Americans. No strategic co-operation between Saudis and other Gulf Arabs and Israelis.
All that changed after Dessert Storm. One has to wonder how long is this hellish alliance between Americans, Saudis and Israelis gonna last? Many innocent people of Middle East are dying for no good reason.
Thank god for Russia, China and Iran.
“For no one, unless he be a cultured Muslim, heard of Sunnis, Shias, Salafists and Wahabis, until after Reagan…” ? I question this US centred viewpoint. The Anglo-Capitalist involvement with extreme Arab factions goes back to the hey-day of British Imperialism, particularly England’s WW1 coup which snatched the oil kingdoms away from Turkey by declaring war on Turkey’s German ally. One of my school books was “Greenmantle” by British diplomat John Buchan. The leading character is mining engineer Richard Hannay, fresh from British triumph in hijacking the gold and diamond mines of the Free Afrikaner Republics, summoned to the British Foreign Office to team up with Sandy Arbuthnot, a romantic half mad character whose job is to stir up Arab fanaticism against the Turks. Also I remember an account of the first King Saud, once installed by the British, being summoned to His Majesty’s High Commissioner for a right royal bollocking; King Saud, absolute master of Saudi Arabia a being dressed down like a schoolboy getting caned by his headmaster at an English public school. Apparently the Saudi subservience to Anglo-Capitalism continues to this day: prince Bandar “Bush” and the rest of his oily family are ready to sacrifice their self respect, the honour of their country, and even their wealth to please the elite Anglo effendis.
Dr. Maroudas,
You are of course correct. However, if you scan the article at the following site
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/05/14/upshot/if-americans-can-find-north-korea-on-a-map-theyre-more-likely-to-prefer-diplomacy.html?_r=0)
perhaps you may, by extension, justify or even excuse the generalization
De Toqueville visited the USA around 1813, and was impressed by the US belief that Democracy is superior to Knowledge. My wife summarized his opinion as follows: “A teacher in the US will ask the class to vote where Paris is, and they will conclude it is in Canada”. So, the majority of Yanks when asked to point to NK on a map of Eurasia pointed to the wrong place. But here comes the triumph of Democracy over Knowledge: those scattered points are centred over central China. Yankees might be weak in geography but their gut instinct is sound: China is the real target of Anglo Capitalism which already owns half the world. The Chinese know that when The Man from Uncle comes to bomb North Korea (and everything else for hundreds of miles around) the huge pool of Chinese labour is next on the list. Just like the Syrians and the Iranians and the Russians know: there is only one future for the remaining free countries on this planet, to resist Anglo Capitalism or to become another Saudi Arabia.
War comes.
No question whatsoever.
The high and mighty think to hide in caves and holes in the ground but as is written that will be no refuge on the great and terrible day if the Lord.
The Reign if Wreck comes now to its end.
I read that out loud.
A literary style appreciated by all present.
Thank you.
I’m sick of hearing all the negative stuff about Trump and his people – He’s our only hope right now and there is a horrible effort being made to destabilize the country – lets not add to it Jimmie – its easy and clever to be critical.
I haven’t read the whole thing yet – but I would like to point out to folks here – is everyone aware that the leaker of the Podesta emails – Seth Rich – his family hired a very experienced PI to find out the real deal on Seth’s murder – and it is linked to Gavin McFayden’s murder too – Julian Assange’s lawyer and the director of Wikileaks – Seth had been leaking the garbage that was going back and forth over the DNC computer system – he was in charge of it – since 2015 – and his contact was Gavin McFayden –
Gavin was pushed in front of a train last year – and Seth was murdered and the investigation was ‘shelved’ according to an insider of the police dept –
This is HUGE – Clinton Foundation is now trying to distract from this by impeaching Trump – Please lets get together on the right page of history –

Thanks for this article!
Dear mr Jimmie Moglia
An amazing read. Backed with experience adds so much more than if you had not seen it first hand.
“For no one, unless he be a cultured Muslim, heard of Sunnis, Shias, Salafists and Wahabis, until after Reagan financed the…”
The Shia, and Shias everywhere, have known evil for a long long time.
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2017/05/15/521966/Saudi-raid–Shia-Awamiyah
Thank you
The sunnis have not known evil?
Not my intention to debate this anymore. Did not point out that sunnis have known or not known. It’s their problem or yours to introspect.
In the history before me and in contemporary geopolitics, they have been, and still are, the willing tools of the West (for now) and of whatever centre of power that existed before in each age. So colusion if not peretrators more like it, than knowledgeable victims.
One of the finest pieces I have found on here for many moons. Agreed on all assertions and conclusions and enjoyed the jolly tone accompanying your dalliance with darkness prevalent in our times…

NOt sure of reliability (or even that story’s plot) of the Facebook entry.
But Paul Johnson, in History of the Jews, states that there were ancient Jewish settlements and oases etc. on the Arabian peninsula, and that Islam actually derived from that form of Judaism. See pp. 167–68.
His source for this is Charles C. Torrey, The Jewish Foundation of Islam(1933; reprint: Yale UP, 1967).
If you google this titel you get lots of hits and quite a lot of material seems to be available online.
Here are some comments by Torrey from the following URL:
http://www.truthnet.org/islam/Jewish/
” The Jewish colonies in the Hijaz were established by a very considerable migration, chiefly from Palestine, in the sixth century B.C. Both Dozy and August Müller saw the plain evidence of a large migration of Jews from Palestine into northern Arabia, but neither was able to find a convincing reason for such a movement. A most suitable occasion is now seen to have been given by a remarkable episode in neo-Babylonian history.
The orthodox Muslim dogma that Mohammed was an unschooled man is utterly untenable, though even the most recent treatises continue to give it some credence.
The Arabian prophet is less mysterious than he has generally been regarded (every great genius, to be sure, is more or less of a mystery). He was at all times sincere, never doubting that the self-hypnotism which he had learned to produce, and which he continued to practise at critical times, brought him a divine revelation. His naiveté is commonly exaggerated by modern interpreters and made to explain too much; very often what seems merely childlike is the result of long reflection and wise calculation.
The doctrine that the foundation of Islam was mainly Christian has held the field for nearly half a century. It is completely refuted, however (as I think will appear), partly by evidence which the quran Koran furnishes, partly also by material gathered from pre-muhammad Mohammedan Arabia.
The “higher criticism” of the quran Koran has suffered from undue dependence on the native commentators. Certain theories too hastily propounded by the greatest European authorities in this field have dominated all subsequent research.
“islam Islåm” began with Ishmael, the father of the Arabs. It was thus by right primarily an Arabian religion, even though Ishmael’s sons had rejected it. Mohammed’s account of the Sacrifice (Sura 37: 100 ff.) is very skilfully managed.

Yes, there is all this about Saudi kickbacks and supporting domestic US/Uk military contractor business etc — but the main function of the Saudi regime is totally missing.
The fait USD$ hegemony is dependent on the Saudi ‘sinkhole’ to create and maintain systemic demand for the usd$ through global oil/energy demand (priced and transacted in usd$). Russia’s rise to #1 supplier to China in Yuan is present the big challenge to this scam.
The US economy has basically collapsed down to a military industrial congressional complex which has the achilles heel that hard inventory has to be shifted. Warehousing the junk in Arabian deserts fits the need. The purpose does not rely on actual use in war — Saudi is not a democracy with any responsibility to citizens. The invirtuous circle is completed simply by shifting imaginary $usd surplus in Saudi spreadsheet accounts through the Congressional-Industrial complex to certain interests — no doubt more Republican than Democrat these days.
Maintaining the global demand for the usd$ IS — (repeat) IS the purpose of the Saudi regime. Full Stop!

sweden has dropped the charges against julian assange.
Good that the bogus ‘rape’ charges against him were eventually dropped. Keep in mind here that Sweden’s legislation — whatever opinion one might hold about the ‘progressive thrust’ of the laws concerned — is quite inviting to slanderous accusations of sexual abuse. Ironically, that hasn’t made Sweden an enemy of Saudi Arabia whatsoever.
“/…/ compounded with a widespread perception that, for the Western-Zionist-Saudi cabal, the world at large is a den of fools, save the 1% or equivalent.”
As regards the West’s 99%, I’d say it’s a scaringly accurate perception on the part of the cabal.
Hmm… Interesting.
One challenge, up front, “… the most advanced democracy in the world…”, referring to the United States of America, is weak, practically jingoistic, unless “most advanced” means, “evolved past”, or something like that. The USA, like western Europe and the Anzac and Canada, are slaveries, using (primarily) financial control mechanisms to utterly disempower (your spell checker gives me the option of “disembowel”, interestingly appropriate) the 99%+.
(or Vancouver, or Sydney (AU), or Auckland (NZ), etc., etc., etc….)

New found perception management capability may not be thoroughly understood
We can notice, those paying attention, anyhow, the escalation of bullshit by the mainstream media, especially since 9/11, and the rapid growth into a mushroom cloud-like expansion into (what seems to me) obviously ridiculous story lines, covering the many gross hypocrisies of the conduct of the various agencies of governance against the ‘accepted’ public myth (agreed to lies).
While compelling the citizens to adopt the most powerful surveillance and perception management systems of known human history i.e. smartphones, the greedy, socio-pathic competing factions of the top 0.1% have become giddy and flippant in the use of these tools, and the pervasive self-censorship by political correctness, to quell dissent at the waking level of consciousness, I believe that a backdoor is being left unguarded, as the brutal waking consciousness manipulations create such a huge gulf between the waking consciousness and the sub-waking consciousness levels of our homo sapiens cognitive composites that the resultant extreme form of cognitive dissonance,/b> is creating a rift that they themselves are already exploiting (for what else? more power/money).
But this door is getting larger and more vulnerable by the day, as the extreme use of media manipulations are inserted into the fragile waking-conscious minds of the people, like a junkie death-spiral.
The Western-Zionist-Saudi cabal, as you refer to it, is just another part of the blaring hypocrisies, being foisted upon those, unlike many in this community, who haven’t even seen past the first thin film of facade, feckless victims.
The question is, what can be done to liberate the minds of the majority, which will likely be required to depose the slave-masters?
This is what the fine minds here could be spending energy on, to change it!
As the perception deception is psychological, the solution is also psychological.
The solution is mental recognition that the lie is a lie.
All happen only inside your head.
When you accept mentally that the lie is a lie and why, its not anymore the lie that plays around with you, but you who are master on how you want to deal and get around with it.
Example:
Putin recently stated that Russian scientists discovered global warming started in 1930´es where CO2 impact was limited, thus there is no manmade CO2 warming.
See how beautyful and simple the truth always is:
The global warming happen because of a planetary cyclus and should just be adapted to.
See how ugly, asbestos and complicated lies to suck your money are:
Km of Clima Change books, 100´eds of scientists research centres, UN Agenda´s, rallies, quarrels about measure methods, your 4WD/airplane/ferry/cow/heating system/fart is causing planetary warming why you must pay CO2 tax on everything.
If people can mentally admit CO2 is a 100% hoax, the lie will fade away, disappear and the world will become a little more true and will change.
Seek the truth, tell the truth and the truth will set not only yourself free but also your fellows.
You seem to be going off on quite a tangent there, Tomsen.
Why not get back onto the main line, how to inoculate the people against the deception. Whether CO2 emissions are real or not, it is more than plausible that human activity is changing the planet, like an out-of-control bacteria/virus/cancer, making the hosts, the planet which brought us into existence, sick!
Right now the issue is the march to war, by herding of the 0.1%, Deep State/Empire; this is very real, and very immediate.
What methods can be used to awaken the masses?
“One example, as clear as the summer’s sun, is the election of the Saudi Mr. Abdulaziz Alwasil as representative of the UN Human Rights Council. And, notwithstanding Saudi Arabia’s record on religious freedom and justice at large, this worthy official will have vote and oversight, among other things, on ‘freedom of religion and belief’ and ‘integrity of the judicial system’.”
Western imperialism’s sense of humour is quite impressive. If barbarians such as Obama and Kissinger deserve the Nobel peace prize award, then this Saudi reptile is no less deserving of his seat at the UN Human Rights Council.
When, at long last, will NATO be awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize?
Powerful! Beautiful lampoon that perfectly summarizes the situation up to now.

Excellent paper !
I will add that reading James Mattis saying : ” We carry out an annihilation campaign “, sounds to me like “Die Endlösung”.
It is hard to be more facist. So James Mattis is a stupid facist.
Why stupid, because turning the Djihadists into martyrs will just help to create some more.
Without the Islam’s help to fight the wrong ideology, Mattis’s stragegy is a dead end.
You cannot fight the djiadism and be friendly with the Saudi and Al Thani families.
“For no one, unless he be a cultured Muslim, heard of Sunnis, Shias, Salafists and Wahabis, until after Reagan financed the plot to remove the lay government in Afghanistan that had called the Soviet Union to its aid. And apart from the spilled blood of thousands, it is ironic that the emblem image of “pre-freedom” Afghanistan is the picture of young girls in European skirt and uniform walking to their school. Whereas the iconic image of “post-freedom” Afghanistan is the dynamiting of the 5th centuries “Buddahs of Bamiyan,” by the US-financed and now somewhat unruly “freedom fighters.” And most recently, the footprint left by the explosion of the American “mother of all bombs,” and alleged consequent hecatomb of “insurgents.”
The sacred raygun freakshow of Latin American death squads, Vietnam war revisionism and golan-globus propaganda.
This govno has only become worse in the zionazi west.
Brilliant article Jimmie, very well put!
