Queenie Invites Bahrain Tyrant to Royal Bash
Our Queen and Monarch has once again shown her disdain for freedom and morality, by inviting the tyrannical leader of Bahrain to two upcoming Royal events in May. Sheikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, who gained his Kingly position by birthright just like Elizabeth, will attend a luncheon at Windsor Castle and a spiffy champagne dinner at Buckingham Palace later in the day.
The Royals and the State expect this hypocrisy to simply float over the heads of us lowly peasants, but many of us will not be silent. While our leaders pretend to stand for liberty, telling us we must get rid of rulers like Gaddafi, or Bashar al-Assad in Syria (both victims of propaganda and covert terrorist linked operations), they ignore other so called despots like Al-Khalifa, because overthrowing the Bahrain regime doesn’t bring them any booty or any strategic military advantage on the grand chessboard.
Unlike Gaddafi who tried to remain independent economically and militarily and Assad who is standing his ground, Al-Khalifa has welcomed Western military bases [1] and the regime has had a close relationship with the British Royal Navy for decades after the discovery of petroleum in the 50s [2]. The West arm Bahrain including significant support from the US to the Bahrain Defence Force [3], and the Western corporations are given unsanctioned access to its markets, describing it as the freest economy in the Middle East [4].
When it benefits the Anglo-American empire human rights are completely irrelevant.
The most recent flaunting of hypocrisy came during the 2011 uprising in Bahrain. Rather than the constant demonization we’ve seen in the media against other regimes around the world, our leaders decided to arm Bahrain state forces to help with the brutal crackdown.
Our loving Government who claims to be spreading freedom and democracy across the globe approved the sale of military equipment valued at more than £1m last year [5]. This included naval guns, gun silencers, weapons sights, rifles, artillery and components for military training aircraft.
Although all reports should be reviewed with a skeptical eye, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry was actually signed off by the King. It revealed that the regime had tortured protesters and committed human rights violations [6]. All with the help of and support of the West.
As noted by Press TV, the Iranian news outlet thrown off British digital TV amidst the propaganda against their nuclear power program:
Britain’s support for the al-Khalifa regime and the British Queen’s extending an invitation to the Bahraini tyrant seems to be part of the Perpetual Truce of Peace and Friendship.
In 1820, Britain signed a treaty with the al-Khalifa dynasty and announced the Khalifas as the rulers of Bahrain. Further treaties were concluded in 1861 and all treaties formed the Perpetual Truce of Peace and Friendship.
According to the treaties, the Al Khalifa regime could only dispose of the land to the UK and could not establish relationship with any country without first seeking the approval of Britain in return for Britain’s protecting the regime.
‘Friendship’ between Britain and Bahrain has this time popped up on the British Queen’s guest list so that one of the world’s most tyrant rulers can enjoy another extravagant royal ceremony in Britain marking the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Last year, Bahrain’s crown prince was invited to the royal wedding of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge. Furthermore, in January this year, the UK’s Countess of Wessex accepted two sets of jewellery from the Bahraini royal family.
Just like the British Government the Royals have no credibility, no moral compass and are an economic drain that is helping to shrink the middle class and destroy the poor.

Get well soon
I missed your broadcast last week. You probably deserve a bit of time off, but if you are not back on air by next week I shall revert to the bbc world service and the Guardian online for my news.
You may be getting a bit pissed off by the relatively low listening figures you are getting. Even if these are accurate please keep up the good work. You are one of the few people from the internet generation who has really grasped the scale and sources of some of the big problems facing humanity because of the unfortunate nature of many of our leaders
I hope you are keeping track of the curious events surrounding the Ron Paul Campaign and will in due course report on this. Also, I have founds some interesting stuff about political” Ponerology” which seems to amount to the psychological study of evil in politics and demonstrates how psychopaths become able to fill many important positions in politics,business etc and have a tendency to appoint people in their own mould. The guiding light of this science is a Polish psychiatrist called Lobaczewski. I’m not sure I agree with his solutions which appear to be too close to a kind of eugenics, though of a kind almost completely opposite to that advocated by the psychopaths themselves. He seems to want to found an institution to vet those who seek positions that would give them power over others. I think it is likely the psychopaths would take over such a body in short order and we would be left with a worse situation than at present. If you have time take a look.
Keep cheerful, regards from Egypt.
Thanks for the kind words Keith. Missed last week because of my day job and this week I have tonsilitus…but I’m certainly not going anywhere.
I have the Ponerology book on my wish list, will buy it eventually.
