If We’re “Fighting for Democracy”, than Why Are We Arming and Financially Supporting Dictatorships throughout the Middle East?
Western Israeli leaders call Syrian leader Assad a dictator.
Fair enough. He and his father have ruled Syria since 1971.
But what about Saudi Arabia? The Saudi royal monarchy has been ruling that region for hundreds of years.
Wikipedia notes:
Due to its authoritarian and theocratic rule, the House of Saud has attracted much criticism during its rule of Saudi Arabia. Its opponents generally refer to the Saudi monarchy as totalitarians or dictators.
There have been numerous incidents of demonstrations and other forms of resistance against the House of Saud.

All surviving males (including Utaybi himself) were beheaded publicly in four cities of Saudi Arabia.
While the Saudi royal family pushes the most strict and fundamentalist form Islam, the Saudi royal family’s debauchery and corruption is legendary. The monarchs – while pushing strict Wahabism as the official state religion – don’t practice it.
Similarly, Qatar has been ruled by one family monarchy for over 150 years:
Qatar has been ruled as an absolute and hereditary emirate by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century.
CBS News includes Qatar on its list of “The world’s enduring dictators“, noting:
Like many of its neighbors, the controversial host of the 2022 World Cup in soccer isaccused of many human rights abuses when it comes to its foreign workers, like setting them up in squalid labor camps separate from society, confiscating their passports upon arrival, and giving them a general lack of rights. That said, Amnesty International reports only sporadic instances of torture and abuse by state security forces. As for Sheikh Hamad’s dictatorial bona fides, The New York Times writes: “While Qatar calls for democracy outside its borders, democracy here is provisional at best. While there are municipal elections, and women can vote in them, the country has a Parliament building but no Parliament — or any other political institution, for that matter — that can challenge the royal family’s grip on power.”
Similarly, Bahrain has been ruled almost continuously by the Al Khalifa royal monarchy since 1820.
Bahrain also makes CBS News’ list of “world’s enduring dictators”. CBS noted in 2011:
Uprisings in the late 1990s as well as right now have been fueled as much by resentment from the repressed, poor Shiite majority against their privileged Sunni rulers as anything else. In both uprisings, accusations against the government of gross human rights violations and protester murders have been plentiful. At least 11 demonstrators have been killed so far this year. Most recently, Bahraini security forces stand accused ofindiscriminate abduction and torture of dissidents.
Things have gotten worse since then. Three-time Emmy award winning CNN reporter Amber Lyon reported on her first-hand experience of the systematic torture and murder of peaceful protesters by the government of Bahrain. But she was fired by CNN for doing so … while CNN accepted payment from the Bahraini monarchs to run a fluff propaganda piece about them.
Indeed, the U.S. government has supplied substantial military support to the Saudi, Qatari and Bahraini dictators.
The U.S. Federal Reserve also bailed out the Arab Banking Corporation of Bahrain.
Why is the U.S. backing the dictators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain?
Because the U.S. backs the Sunni Muslims against the Shias. The leaders in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain are Sunni Muslims … while the leaders in Syria, Iran and Lebanon are Shia Muslims.
Yup … the U.S. is involved in a religious war – between the two factions of Islam (and is actually backing the most violent elements) – as part of a geopolitical strategy to exert control over the natural gas market.
Indeed, the U.S. is liberally backing Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood (both Sunni) terrorists in their fight against Shia Muslims …
… And in their fight against Christians and atheists.
It’s funny how they first attacked Saddam Hussein and he was a Sunni Muslim and once he was out of the picture, they teamed up with the very muslims they fought against in order to get rid of the Shia Muslims. How many had to die in vain?
I guess that’s why they attacked Iraq first. To get rid of the one man controlling the Middle East (who happened to be Sunni) and once he was gone, they could double-cross the Shia’s by paying the Sunnis to help them get rid of the rest of the countries who are Shia Muslims. And once those Shia countries are overthrown, you can damn well be sure that they will double cross the Sunnis again in order to finish off Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Sunni countries to implement their NWO order in the Middle East, run by the Zionist themselves. Problem is a lot of these muslims are too selfish and blind to see it. They’d sell their own grandmother out for money and would cowardly run away the moment their leader falls in battle, rather than continue to fight. Without a leader to guide them, they fall apart faster than a handful of sand through your fingers.
Could have sworn they invaded Afghanistan first. lol
As to the article, a most excellent (unasked by the majority of Americans) question.
Why not the dictator of the U.S?
Too obvious? LOL
LOL, yeah it just jumped from my fingertips to the screen, don’t know how that happened hehe! ???? 🙂
You could always claim temporary insanity, RT.
Chuckle, chuckle. 🙂
Yep, that’s what it was hehehe! 🙂
Works every time – well, almost. lol
Hehehe! okay. Ya can’t be a lil silly/smartasz when ya might happen to feel good, ya just have to be kinda/mean smartasz eh?
“Well almost” 🙂
Don’t be hatin’, RT.
I was just being my usual facetious self.
I don’t have a mean bone in my body – just ask anyone. 🙂
Not hatin’ at all #1, thanking you! 🙂
Sorry RT, apparently I misread your intent. I can get it wrong sometimes.
Occasionally. LOL
RT Hawk,
My sentiments exactly. Obama is 100 times more of a terrorist than Assad. Let’s let this punk president get his ass reamed by a few of the men he has sent to Syria. (Of course, that wouldn’t work, due to the fact that Obama would welcome this “torture” with a smile on his satanic face).
with a pack of fags up his asz, but I think Digger and Angel have first dibs on lighting them hehe!
@4:41. Heck RT we all could just have a group party on obummer 🙂
Hella party that would be Digger! 🙂
True, #1 but you know Afghanistan was just a lead in/starting point for Bush Jr. to set up ground troops and a base nearby to attack Iraq. After all of the invasions set in and the MSM war propaganda distracted everyone, the story of Afghanistan slowly faded away from existence as it was meant to be. Now they just grow poppies to fund the wars in the Middle East. That’s all it was ever designed for by the elite. So I still believe my statement was right from a certain point of view. But that’s just me. lol
Their first “invasion” was in their own minds to extract any remnants of sanity or honesty.
lol, yep, there you go.
You stopped short of Arabia. Any reason? And why not the dictator of isra-hell too. And China.
Make it the queen and dictator of England too. As long as we’re on a roll.
Ugh, sorry, you did put in Arabia. My bad for overlooking it.
Cause the House of Saud are Jews so they’re going to be there forever.
Is the Saudi Royal Family Jewish?
‘In the 1960′s the “Sawt Al Arab” Broadcasting Station in Cairo, Egypt, and the Yemen Broadcasting Station in Sana’a confirmed the Jewish Ancestry of the Saudi Family.
–
King Faisal Al-Saud at that time could not deny his family’s kindred with the Jews when he declared to the Washington Post on Sept. 17, 1969 stating: “We, The Saudi family, are cousins of the Jews: we entirely disagree with any Arab or Muslem Authority which shows any antagonism to the Jews; but we must live together with them in peace. Our country (Arabia) is the Fountain head from where the first Jew sprang, and his descendants spread out all over the world.” That was the declaration of King Faisal AL-Saud Bin Abdul Aziz! ‘
Why is there the genealogy/descendents of Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman ibn Faisal Al Saud in the Jewish Virtual Library?

I wish someone would rid the world of the Jewish dictators that stampede around the world slaughtering everyone whilst hid behind other nations flags.
The whole lot of them must go – even the killers who lead the world.
