The violent crackdowns in Bahrain are continuing and even escalating on Thursday in Bahrain, as forces launched an overnight attack on the protest camps in Pearl Roundabout in Manama.
In the wake of the attacks, the regime is said to have arrested at least seven top opposition leaders. It is reportedly planning to charge them with “inciting murder” for their role in organizing the mass protests.
But the protests are not ending despite the violence, and the addition of 2,000 Saudi-led foreign troops to the nation appears to have only enraged the opposition more. Opposition groups have called for a UN inquiry into the crackdowns.
The exact toll of the crackdowns in unclear, but is believed to be significant, and worsened by the number of hospitals being closed to wounded protesters. Ambulance drivers say they have been ordered since Wednesday to avoid certain key hospitals. Other major hospitals have been closed entirely, and security forces are said to have attacked ambulances on the streets. This has forced wounded protesters to rely on smaller health centers located in Shi’ite neighborhoods for treatment.
Miss Hillary Clinton and Mr. Gates.., thank you for helping your oppressors to continue their mission making you the biggest militarism regime in the gulf, I am sure that Saudis thanking you very much and therefore rewarding you paying the blood money freeing your spy in Pakistan. I wonder where else beside Libya, Iran, Syria, African Horn countries and China you want to start another war.., can I suggest Russia and South America.., that is to say if by then there is any world left to occupy.
Ms. Clinton you do understand that we know that you have began to share the world Oil producing countries among you which by that I mean NATO, like French, Germany, England off course.., after all they share the ownership of BP with Swedish privet bankers; therefore.., you Miss Clinton hade a meeting with the Libyan “next” Islamic republic in Paris giving them your word that French and English or even Swedish would start attacking Libya while US militarism regime – you saying that “NO FLY ZONE REQUARES BOMBIN LIBYA” start bombing that country from Saudi territories or Italy.., please do then we have a real war at the door steps of Europe where we can see the flames having fun watching it.
I am sure that senator Kerry would be thankful for your effort saving his shares in whatever the oil company he might be doing business with, in the other hand, I have only one question to ask you and rest of your colleagues: until when the US and EU militarism regimes are going to be involved creating wars after another, it seams to me that for last 60 years US been involved in many wars.., lately from Balkan Wars which was a creation by your husband.., by the way good job dividing people.., the EU been engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq and they are patiently waiting to get involved in another war.
Here and in political terms you and your colleagues doing everything possible to keep the US militarism regime busy forgetting about people in US and EU.., those who you been bombing and those who have killed already like in Iraq and a million people killed.., at home people that are hungry, hard to find jobs, they are poorer then ever before with no healthcare and they just about losing their SSI, unless you like your predecessor Ms. Madeline Albright don’t care about millions of people being and getting killed.., vanished and thrown in Jail which is understandable, yet I wonder why would you and your colleague, like senator Kerry, Rockefeller and others alike call yourself.., even bother.., calling yourself democrats.., here I would like to understand the democracy and therefore asking you and your.., whoever.., please define democracy for people like me and for me to understand the double language and double moral of that word so we all can have party just about a “falsified” democracy.., no I don’t mind we can even invite the Kingdome of Saudi Arabia and queen of England and Netanyahu making sure that he dance with Tony Blair.., how about that.
Interesting to watch US and west gung ho to help Libyan protesters BUT doing absolutely nothing (but some empty words) for protesters in Yemen and Bahrain…. the double standard is glaring.
Down with the empire.
Rambo Raymond's $2.34 million license to kill apparently was a gift of the very same Saudi government that has sponsored the Wahhabi madrasas and mosques that have radicalized millions worldwide. One suspects they weren't only buying his freedom, but his silence, and an end to the Pakistani investigations in the bargain, along with Obama's gratitude and his acquiescence to the butchery in Bahrain. According to mainstream Indian and Pakistani publications, Davis is implicated in plotting false-flag terrorist attacks against civilians in Pakistan to create a pretext for further US aggression; we have also recently learned that one of the bloodiest terrorists in Afghanistan has long been on the US payroll. If substantiated, those conspiracies could result in felony charges, possibly capital, against people at the highest levels of our government.
An independent counsel investigation into this tangled, sordid web is urgently needed, and the House Republicans might well vote for one for political, rather than principled, reasons. The resulting publicity would assure that many, if not most, Democrats would support Obama's and possibly Biden's removal to ensure their own political survival. Interestingly, if Biden were also implicated and removed, that would make Boehner president. Not a pleasant thought, but he wouldn't be all that different from Obama, since both serve the same masters. And a scandal of such magnitude–the most egregious in our history–just might lead to much needed paradigm shifts on constitutional rights, international law, accountability and our relationship with the rest of the world. Not a bad tradeoff, in my view.
