COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
"He faces an
awkward trip to the Middle East following controversial comments on Saudi
Arabia"
Let's be honest about what all this means.
Saudi Arabia is one of the most corrupt and anti-democratic
places on earth.
Boris Johnson was only telling a few truths, not even the
worst stuff one could say about this horrible place.
For that, he is pilloried by The Independent and others.
Why?
It is not just the fact that Britain's establishment sells a
lot of weapons to these nasty desert princes, although that is undoubtedly
important.
Saudi Arabia functions today as part of a little axis in the
Middle East. The key members of this axis are Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the
United States.
There was a day the Saudis were quite hostile to Israel, but
that day is long gone, and the two behave as fairly close secret allies. And
the US is very happy with the arrangement.
That's why all the stuff about ISIS and Al Nusrah is such
nonsense. These are Saudi-sponsored outfits and have been from the start. And
today's Saudis do nothing to offend America's Middle East colony, Israel.
Nothing.
Otherwise the US would take some very ugly steps against the
Saudis, but they don't ever do so, do they?
Israel and the Saudi Princes have a lot in common. They both
actually quite dislike democracy.
In Saudi Arabia, run by a family of princes, very corrupt
ones too, it is obvious why democracy is a dirty word. And the Saudis fight it
internally and externally, as in Syria or Yemen.
As for Israel, have you ever noticed how no democratic
government bordering on Israel ever flourishes? In countries like Egypt, they
inevitably disappear in the workings of dark-ops.
As for democratic movements inside Palestine, like Hamas,
they are branded as terrorists and persecuted relentlessly.
And inside Israel, democracy has the same kind of bizarre
meaning that it had in the old South Africa or in the American Confederacy,
only certain folks can vote.
Well, Johnson's honest words about Saudi Arabia - so rare in
diplomacy - touch this nasty little American arrangement, even if only
peripherally, and that is simply not allowed.
Theresa May has sadly already demonstrated her servility to
American interests and her blindness to Saudi-Israeli brutality, so I suspect
Johnson will not be holding his post very much longer.
