Corrupt Arab Ruling Elites Squirm
Jordan’s pro-American monarch feigns reform and replaces PM following street protests. Meanwhile Saudi Royalty and other US-bought Arab ruling elites are shitting their American supplied underwear. But the penny hasn’t dropped yet! The WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH OF AMERICAN INTERFERENCE, BRUTALITY and HYPOCRISY. The sooner NON-REPRESENTATIVE, failing governments comprehend this REALITY the easier it will be for them and the masses; voluntary resignations are certainly preferable to the hangman’s rope.
It seems the only people left without solutions are the antiquated ruling elites and their out-of-time, advisers. Brzezinski is a typical example of a leading adviser to the elites; we can thank him for his ancient Imperialist geopolitical world view, which has created the circumstances for most of today’s mass revolts and social revolutions – the man is a screaming, unabashed Imperialist in the 21st 'DIGITAL' CENTURY; think about that for a minute, Ziggy!
Antiquated methods of mass political deception are exposed before they have time to begin. Police State tactics and military coercion further exacerbate already explosive situations, but the ruling elites -- with their average age hovering around 85 -- are bereft of ideas, solutions and are simply not equipped to understand or deal effectively with today’s ‘digital-speed’ political REALITIES.
If these geriatrics value what is left of their miserable lives they would be well advised to completely withdraw from the Global Political Arena peacefully – the people are royally pissed off, 'gentlemen,' YOUR TIME HAS COME TO AN ABRUPT END, IT IS OVER, Finito!
Report from the Melbourne Age follows:
Jordan's Prime Minister Sacked
staff report
Jordan's King Abdullah yesterday replaced his prime minister following street protests and asked former premier Marouf Bakhit to form a new government that will launch a "genuine political reform process".
King Abdullah told Mr Bakhit that he should put the country on the path "to strengthen democracy," and provide Jordanians with the "dignified life they deserve," the Royal Court said in an emailed statement.
The announcement follows demonstrations in Jordan since a revolt in Tunisia forced President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali into exile on January 14. That rebellion also inspired protests in Egypt demanding the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak that has left more than 100 people dead and roiled global stock, bond and oil markets.
"The regime in Jordan is under pressure," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Centre. "They are trying to respond in some way. It's just that their response is not matching the gravity of the situation."
"I think we are looking potentially at a pan-Arab democratic movement or revolution," he said.
Mr Bakhit, who replaces Samir Rifai, was previously an ambassador to Israel and served as premier in the wake of terrorist attacks in Jordan that targeted several hotels in the capital, Amman.
Hamzah Mansour, secretary-general of the Islamic Action Front, said his group wanted "an entirely new process, we don't want new names".
"Our situation requires a review and real reforms like the manner in which the government is formed, the way lawmakers are elected and the issue of taxes," he said. The Front is the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest opposition group in Jordan which has organized protests in the kingdom during the past month.
