As usual
the American government is speaking in its customary duplicitous
manner. Its mouthpiece Obama, spouts crap regarding the various and
many dictators in the Middle East condemning their repression of
peaceful protests, calling for restraint, while selling them the arms
and equipment to carry out that repression. At this moment in time
the state of Bahrain, with the aid of Saudi troops, is trying to
crush any protesters that have the courage to criticise the corrupt
and brutal regime. So what does our freedom, peace loving Obama
administration do? Well naturally, it does what it always does, it
wags its finger with a tut-tut-tut and the proceeds to sell them the
necessary equipment to crush the protester. While protesters die on
the streets of Bahrain, the US Department of Defence is now preparing
to sell $53 million worth of armoured Humvees and missiles to the
brutal dictatorship of Bahrain. Well in capitalism, business is
business and people are dispensable.
We know
we can't take the words that come from the mouths of those nasty
dictators in those strange foreign lands that the West is always
trying to bomb into democracy, but is there any statement that we can
take at face value when it drips out the mouth of any one of those
Western corporate stooges that we call the political class?
