Even Fisk in a Huff: The Brits Love Saudi Money, But Not Advice

Via NY Transfer News Collective  *  All the News that Doesn't Fit
 
[Heh! The Brits are profoundly disturbed that the rag-heads -- the
rich ones, whom they've been courting assiduously for aviation deals,
have the gall to visit their benighted isle and lecture them on
"terrorism."  After all, they are civilized. The Kingdom, as we all
know, is most definitely not.  Even Fisk is in a huff. "We supply
these people with fighter jets," he complains. You'd think the Brits
were giving them away. Suck it up, UK. Teach your politicians to act
civilized, and not play poodle to the likes of the Bush Reich in
their Crusades. Teach your Crusaders not to torture people in their
own invaded and occupied lands. Then talk to the Saudis about
civilization. The Irish most definitely remember the H-Blocks, which
Amnesty International also called torture, Mr. Fisk. -NY Transfer]

King Abdullah flies in to lecture us on terrorism

By Robert Fisk

In what world do these people live? True, there'll be no public
executions outside Buckingham Palace when His Royal Highness rides in
stately formation down The Mall. We gave up capital punishment about
half a century ago. There won't even be a backhander " or will there? "
which is the Saudi way of doing business. But for King Abdullah to tell
the world, as he did in a BBC interview yesterday, that Britain is not
doing enough to counter "terrorism", and that most countries are not
taking it as seriously as his country is, is really pushing it. Weren't
most of the 11 September 2001 hijackers from " er " Saudi Arabia? Is
this the land that is really going to teach us lessons?

The sheer implausibility of the claim that Saudi intelligence could
have prevented the London bombings if only the British Government had
taken it seriously, seems to have passed the Saudi monarch by. "We have
sent information to Great Britain before the terrorist attacks in
Britain but unfortunately no action was taken. And it may have been
able to maybe avert the tragedy," he told the BBC. This claim is
frankly incredible.

The sad, awful truth is that we fete these people, we fawn on them, we
supply them with fighter jets, whisky and whores. No, of course, there
will be no visas for this reporter because Saudi Arabia is no
democracy. Yet how many times have we been encouraged to think
otherwise about a state that will not even allow its women to drive?
Kim Howells, the Foreign Office minister, was telling us again
yesterday that we should work more closely with the Saudis, because we
"share values" with them. And what values precisely would they be, I
might ask?

Saudi Arabia is a state which bankrolled " a definite no-no this for
discussion today " Saddam's legions as they invaded Iran in 1980 (with
our Western encouragement, let it be added). And which said nothing " a
total and natural silence " when Saddam swamped the Iranians with gas.
The Iraqi war communiqu(c) made no bones about it. "The waves of insects
are attacking the eastern gates of the Arab nation. But we have the
pesticides to wipe them out."

Did the Saudi royal family protest? Was there any sympathy for those
upon whom the pesticides would be used? No. The then Keeper of the Two
Holy Places was perfectly happy to allow gas to be used because he was
paying for it " components were supplied, of course, by the US " while
the Iranians died in hell. And we Brits are supposed to be not keeping
up with our Saudi friends when they are "cracking down on terrorism".

Like the Saudis were so brilliant in cracking down on terror in 1979
when hundreds of gunmen poured into the Great Mosque at Mecca, an event
so mishandled by a certain commander of the Saudi National Guard called
Prince Abdullah that they had to call in toughs from a French
intervention force. And it was a former National Guard officer who led
the siege.

Saudi Arabia's role in the 9/11 attacks has still not been fully
explored. Senior members of the royal family expressed the shock and
horror expected of them, but no attempt was made to examine the nature
of Wahhabism, the state religion, and its inherent contempt for all
representation of human activity or death. It was Saudi Muslim legal
iconoclasm which led directly to the destruction of the Buddhas of
Bamiyan by the Taliban, Saudi Arabia's friends. And only weeks after
Kamal Salibi, a Lebanese history professor, suggested in the late 1990s
that once-Jewish villages in what is now Saudi Arabia might have been
locations in the Bible, the Saudis sent bulldozers to destroy the
ancient buildings there.

In the name of Islam, Saudi organisations have destroyed hundreds of
historic structures in Mecca and Medina and UN officials have condemned
the destruction of Ottoman buildings in Bosnia by a Saudi aid agency,
which decided they were "idolatrous". Were the twin towers in New York
another piece of architecture which Wahhabis wanted to destroy?

Nine years ago a Saudi student at Harvard produced a remarkable thesis
which argued that US forces had suffered casualties in bombing attacks
in Saudi Arabia because American intelligence did not understand
Wahhabism and had underestimated the extent of hostility to the US
presence in the kingdom. Nawaf Obaid even quoted a Saudi National Guard
officer as saying "the more visible the Americans became, the darker I
saw the future of the country". The problem is that Wahhabi puritanism
meant that Saudi Arabia would always throw up men who believe they had
been chosen to "cleanse" their society from corruption, yet Abdul
Wahhab also preached that royal rulers should not be overthrown. Thus
the Saudis were unable to confront the duality, that
protection-and-threat that Wahhabism represented for them.

Prince Bandar, formerly Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington, once
characterised his country's religion as part of a "timeless culture"
while a former British ambassador advised Westerners in Saudi Arabia to
"adapt" and "to act with the grain of Saudi traditions and culture".

Amnesty International has appealed for hundreds of men " and
occasionally women " to be spared the Saudi executioner's blade. They
have all been beheaded, often after torture and grossly unfair trials.
Women are shot.

The ritual of chopping off heads was graphically described by an Irish
witness to a triple execution in Jeddah in 1997. "Standing to the left
of the first prisoner, and a little behind him, the executioner focused
on his quarry ... I watched as the sword was being drawn back with the
right hand. A one-handed back swing of a golf club came to mind ... the
down-swing begins ... the blade met the neck and cut through it
like ... a heavy cleaver cutting through a melon ... a crisp moist
smack. The head fell and rolled a little. The torso slumped neatly. I
see now why they tied wrists to feet ... the brain had no time to tell
the heart to stop, and the final beat bumped a gush of blood out of the
headless torso on to the plinth."

And you can bet they won't be talking about this at Buckingham Palace
today.

The Homophobic Hate campaign by English Churches Housing Group (ECHG),
Hammersmith & Fulham Council and The Metropolitan Police is still
continuing - at the moment my tormentors think it is acceptable to run
a Hate campaign and they do not think they have done anything wrong.

The authorities know who I am, but they think it is acceptable for a
group of people to run a homophobic hate campaign.

The merger has taken place between ECHG and The Riverside Group - but
I am still dealing with a group of people who enjoy making my life a
living nightmare.

My Tormentors take an enormous pleasure in making my life a living
hell - my Tormentors see me as a soft target. I am not scared of them
nor am I afraid of them - I will get a full criminal investigation
into this hate campaign - on my terms and I will not shut-up until I
get to the bottom of everything these criminals have done - I mean
everything and in the process I will clear my name which my Tormentors
have elegantly blackened.

When the whole truth comes out of what has happened - you will find
that I am a Law-abiding citizen and a veteran of the Falklands
Campaign.

My Tormentors have no intention in sorting out this mess, as at the
moment they are enjoying running their hate campaign too much - this
is all about 100% hate, nothing else.

As part of the Hate campaign my tormentors have bugged my computer - I
do know what I am talking about - you can check my computer
qualifications with Microsoft.

My computer is not connected to the Internet and I don not have a
phone - but when I use the System Monitor Tool, I find Terminal
Services is running and it is showing network traffic - what my
tormentors have done, it to use a wireless connection to bug my
computer.

This all started when I found out this development should be to be a
Hostel for people with special need, I made a official complaint to
the Independent Housing Ombudsman and the Local Government Ombudsman -
which lead to a legal agreement that ECHG should move me and carry
several repairs on my flat - which ECHG had no intention of honouring
this agreement. ECHG and the Council decided to lie to both the
Independent Housing Ombudsman and the Local Government Ombudsman for
this to succeed they needed to have to the police to confirm their
lies. Instead of sorting out this mess, when I found out about what
they have been doing - my tormentors decided to run a hate campaign
against me.

This is what happens to the underclass in this country - because these
people know I do not have a voice - they know how the system works and
have got lying to a fine art.
