Egypt's Workers Revolt; This Isn't About Mubarak

The real story about what's going on in Egypt is being suppressed in the US because it doesn't jibe with the "ain't capitalism great" theme that the media loves to reiterate ad nauseam. The truth is that the economic policies that Washington exports to the rest of the world, have ignited massive labor unrest which has set the Middle East ablaze. Mubarak is the first casualty in this war against neoliberalism, but there will be many more to come. In fact, Mubarak's resignation is probably just a sop to Egyptian workers, hoping that they'll follow the military's advice and sheepishly return to their sweatshops so fatcat CEOs in Berlin and Chicago can extract a few more farthings from their labor. But that probably won't happen, because the 18 days in Tahrir Square has had a transformative affect on the consciousness of 80 million Egyptians who've suddenly "had enough". The people have awaken from their slumber and now they're ready to rumble. >>>

UNITED NATIONS MUST BLOCK ARAB DICTATORS ACCOUNTS FOR PEOPLE

by zuruz on

UNITED NATIONS AND WESTERN COUNTRIES MUST BLOCK ALL THE ARABS DICTATORS [WHEATHER THEY HAVE BEEN TOPPLED YET OR THEY WILL BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE] BANKS ACCOUNTS AS WELL AS THEIR ASSETS WORDWIDE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.  THESE DAYS LOTS OF TRANSACTIONS ARE GOING ON WORLDWIDE BY DICTATORS AND THEIR AGENTS. THEY ARE TRASFERING THEIR WEALTH TO SECURE PLACES AND NATIONS. THEY SHOULD BE RETURNED BACK TO THEIR OPPERSSED  PEOPLE WHO DIED AND INJURED TO GAIN  FREEDOM/ DEMOCRACY FOR THEIR NATIONS.  

According to the news Mubarak and his family possess about 300 billions of dollars in cash and gold and they are way richer than Bill Gate and other billionaires. I am just wondering how much corrupt Saudi king and 6000 a$$hole princes who are running all the Saudi high offices as a family run business. They possess zillions of $$$ in their accounts around the world plus other investments in expensive lands, mansions, vacation resorts, famous islands, factories, sport leagues, clubs, discos, bars, casinos, gambling palaces, castles, publications, news media, paradises, fancy hotels, organizations and even gay bars regardless of billions regime spend yearly supporting and funding terrorists networks around the world such as Al-Qaida and Taliban and more use them as tools to destabilizing other nations and issuing fake Fatwas by Saudi regime puppets Muftis to kill other religious groups members and go to heaven for their own political and personal advantages. Murdering opposition figures, Saudi dissidents and opponents mysteriously are very common. They also promote Sunni Wahabism and Sharia laws around the globe and are trying to convert every one worldwide to Sunni Wahabi style of Islam. These blood sucker monsters use Arabian treasures OIL& GAS & MECCA profits for their personal use and millions live under poverty inside that kingdom. Saudi people never tasted any kind of democracy and freedom in their lifetime no free elections, no freedom of expressions, or freedom of religions, no freedom of press no freedom of demonstration and protest. Anyone who arrested with any holy books like Bible, Torah or other religious materials other than Quran is subject to harsh punishments or even death sentence by swords. The Saudi royal family has established thousands of Mosques worldwide but they never allowed any Churches, Synagogues, Temples or other religions worship places built in Saudi Arabian soil.  Abuse of human rights in that kingdom is severely high Women have no rights at all. Slavery in 21th century is big time high in Saudi kingdom and most blacks, woman and foreigners as well as millions of 3rd class citizens are slaves and servants. They and their family usually being raped and abused daily by princes or their family and friends and no laws are there to prevent such inhumane acts and protect this majority. No condemnation of Saudi dictators and their cruel regime by United Nations, Human Rights Organizations or free world ever so far.  This leaves Arabian people with no other choice but start a revolution just like Egyptians and Tunisians against their criminal regime. Kingdom's fate will be in hands of injured, oppressed, hungry and angry Arabian population who soon be uprising and toppling their regime. Saudi regime have been bribing world leaders and officials using money, gold, diamonds and other kind of expensive gifts, so they have managed to stay in power up to now. The recent tsunami will send these Arabs& Iran dictators and other dictators around the Persian Gulf region and elsewhere to dumpster of history soon once for all just like Bin Ali, Mubarak and Saddam because no dictator should underestimate the people's power. These dictators should realize their days are numbered and no longer world powers can save them or overcome their people's power.  

Majority of Bahrainis are Persians/Iranians regardless of their religious aspect Shias vs Sunnis or Arabic which is only the linguistic characteristic of the population not their race they are Persian and have been part of the Persian Empires until late Shah gave the Bahrain Island away. Since then, they have been treated like slaves and 3rd class citizens and enemies by Bahraini king Kalifah“who is related to Saudi king Abdulla” and his puppet regime for decades of separation from homeland Iran. Wealthy king and his family who possess billions of dollars in Western and global banks accounts and invested billions of $$$ in foreign soils, while 70%of Bahraini citizens who happened to be Shias and have been practically disfranchised from the wealth “OIL/GAS revenue” of this Persian Gulf tiny Island. In contrast Bahraini king have hired and gave citizenship to tens of thousands Sunni foreigners mainly from Sunni Arab nations and Sunni Muslims Asian countries with high salaries to increase Sunni minority population in that island and overcome the thread of Bahraini Shias majority. King discovered the best approach to oppress, isolate and keep the real Bahrainis population in a starving stage. That is the major cause of recent uprising of Bahraini population against the cruel blood sucker king Kalifah of Bahrain. The protesters who lost many love ones in recent deadly crackdown are so determined [regardless of Saudi, UAE, Qatar and other foreign forces who are supporting the Bahrain royal family and king to survive] to topple the puppet regime and free themselves from decades of slavery, abuses, rapes and discriminations by ruler kings and his family and friends. The biggest mistake of late-Shah of Iran was giving away one of the greatest part of Iran to British colonialism in the Persian Gulf region. Shah unfairly divided sisters & brothers and families of this thousands years old ancient great nation with his bad policies. Bahrain was the heart of Iran and the 14th province of Iran until few decades ago unfortunately shah gave her away. Bahrain will soon be reunited with homeland of course soon after the fall of dictator Mullah’s regime in Iran, just like W&E Germany and N&S Vietnam by toppling the present corrupt foreign puppet dictator regime once for all. America should take advantage of the current opportunity and support Bahraini and other Arab uprising against their dictators not to support falling Arab dictator such as king of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Libya, United Arab Emirate, Jordan, Yemen, Syria, Kuwait and Qatar and others so the Arab populations don’t fall in hands of Islamists extremists like Iran did in 1979 due to America and Western nations miscalculating and underestimating the people’s power.

LONG LIVE BRAVE PEOPLE OF BAHRAIN WHO HAVE BEEN THE SYMBOLS OF STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM FOR LONG TIME. DEATH TO DICTATORS ALL OVER THE WORLD. DICTATORS LIKE BIN ALI, MUBARAK, SADDAM, GHADAFI, KHALIFAH, ABDULLAH AND THE REST WHO ARE FALLING BY PEOPLE'S POWER.
