U.A.E. Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed, Would Be Ashamed

2018 was declared the year of the late Sheikh Zayed, may he rest in peace. I think that he'd be horrified and ashamed of the well-publicized and the well-hidden activities of his son Mohammed, perhaps more than that of any of his other 17 sons.

Mother made lots of videos of Sheikh Zayed when the family lived in Abu Dhabi. She agrees with me. He would not want his name associated with what his sons are doing. (She's doing okay, got out of the hospital with a pacemaker last week. She sends her regards to you and Uncle Khalifa. I don't understand her, but you may pass it on directly if it suits you.)

There's more ... 

but I'm busy right now. Nevertheless, have a look at the hashtags and you'll know the content, maybe before I write it.

====== Apologies for the delay. There were cakes to be baked.

I believe with all my heart that Sheikh Zayed would never, ever have given his heart and soul to Israel in the circumstances, to have consorted with Bonesaw in the destruction of Palestine, allowing the theft of Jerusalem, threats to the Holy places and the contrived continuing slaughter of Gazans. He would reject the wicked plan of Sheldon Adelson and Netanyahoo, the No-Palestine-Peace-Plan, and he would see the paid-for support of that whining, lying, corrupt ninny in the White House is not for a just and lasting peace.

I believe that Sheikh Zayed would never, ever have promoted a war against Iran and told the U.S. it would join a silly "Gulf NATO" and apartheid Israel in an actual hot war. I don't believe that he would put the people of the Emirates at the risk of the actual missiles of Iran in sufficient numbers to cause widespread death and destruction. He would not have even made an attempt to convince the mentally ill Bonesaw that it's a great idea to demonize Iran and all the Shia, to sectarianize and contemplate a real war.

For what? Do you honestly think that a military attack on Iran by any of the players -- whether due to a false flag or fictional terrorist operation or as a result of a long-running ambition of the Israel-firster neocon crowd who've got Bolton, Kelly, Pompeo and others in place or for any other reason -- would overlook the U.A.E. in response? Do you think that the few missiles the Houthis have landed in the U.A.E. and KSA is the extent of damage to be expected in a war with Iran? Do you think Iran will suck it up?

(I suppose that you and the boys think Bahrain would be safe from retaliation because we've paid for and have got the Fifth Fleet there and the Brits have paid to move back in. How did that work out when Saddam Hussein fired a few SCUDS your way? I forgot.)

I don't believe for a minute that Sheikh Zayed, a man with multitudes of sons and daughters, would have supported the inhuman, filthy war that Mo Zayed is leading on behalf of fucking Bonesaw. I don't believe that he'd allow a son of his to deliberately cause the deaths and unbelievable conditions of the masses, the millions of people of Yemen wretchedly thin from planned starvation, to have committed war crimes intentionally, many times. It is demented. Imagine your spawn with just skin and bones instead of fat asses. 

(I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. military supports it. It is one of the worst policy decisions made by President Obama and carried on by the Pentagon to this day, but that's not the subject of this post.)

I do not believe that Sheikh Zayed would have entertained the thought of allowing Abu Dhabi to be known as the country who hired thousands of foreign mercenaries not just to fight the dirty war in Yemen, but now openly known to assassinate opponents. Hired killers who've murdered clerics and important members of Islah in Abu Dhabi, Dubai andYemen have made the front pages of the major newspapers here because some are American, which is illegal and will soon be a matter for investigation in Congress. 

And then there's the hired killers of Jamal Khashoggi, where they're all Saudis and the important members of the Killing Delegation are connected to Bonesaw. However, that assassination wasn't carried out or accompanied by U.S. mercenaries, no matter the oversight, if any. I guess that would be the "smoking gun" that nobody can find.

I do not believe for a minute that Sheikh Zayed would have provided diplomatic or other cover for the disgraced Bonesaw as you did, let alone be photographed smiling, handing that blood-covered thug gold medals for his crimes, which you did. Seeing that made me sick to my stomach, knowing how low you've stooped. Jesus, I hope you didn't kiss his nose. I'm very sure that Sheikh Zayed would not have.

There's more, but not tonight.

Will A Caliph Take Down A Killer Prince? I Ask You.

Watching the brilliant Erdogan slowly reel out the evidence that Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud himself orchestrated the brutal torture and murder and bonesaw destruction of the body of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (God rest his soul) reminded me of a talk we had years ago. 

It was before I understood the politics involved but certainly not before you did.

Erdogan's involvement in Syria and Iraq has led some scholars and analysts (who know more than I do about history in this particular area and whose online or printed output I read) to refer to the President of Turkey as Sultan Erdogan.

Erdogan's political skills are no match for either Mohammed bin Salman or the fox who thinks no one is looking, i.e., Mohammed bin Zayed or Mo Zayed's Palestinian pit bull, Mohammed Dahlan. 

Erdogan has outfoxed our moron in the White House, got Trump's knickers in a twist because he needs the traitorous Bonesaw Al Saud for the Trump Kushner Netanyahoo Adelson "No- Palestine-Peace-Plan." Erdogan has put out irrefutable evidence that Bonesaw gave the order, was in on the multi-part, multi-man plan, and demanded the head on a platter after it was pulled out of the diplomatic bag.* 

It seems obvious that President Erdogan will accept nothing less than the removal of Bonesaw from any possibility of him inheriting the Custody of the Two Holy Mosques, as surely the immoral killer should not hold such an honor. 

It is also no secret that there is a rivalry between the Turks and the Wahhabists to lead the Sunni umma. Erdogan has proven himself time after time in the face of obstacles set upon him by you chaps in the Persian Gulf and your Western enablers.

All the bots and trolls aren't going to be enough to keep the lurid, gut-turning details of the Khashoggi murder from the majority of the people throughout the kingdoms and emirates. They may not be able to publicly condemn Bonesaw and his vile crimes against Yemen or this murder or his agreement to give away Palestine, but they're going to be made aware. They're going to know that Erdogan is providing evidence to rid the neighborhood and maybe the world of this mass killer. Erdogan is going to earn himself a lot of "good will" if he can truly take the killer down.

I was thinking about that today when I remembered that I asked you this: Do you think there will be a Caliph in our lifetime? Do you think there is a Muslim leader who could be as powerful as the Pope? I mean, other than the Shia Grand Ayatollah Khomeini was or the current Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khamanei? A Sunni leader? I know Bonesaw wants to be that leader still, but his gifts to the younger generation of dancehalls, stages now adorned with American female singers in skimpy outfits, golf buddies with the Trump cult and a silly standing wall called NEOM will not provide him with leadership skills in major Muslim countries unless he buys all the corrupt bankers, businessmen and hereditary families in those countries with Arabia's wealth while the people can't drive on the flooded streets in winter or buy a decent house in major cities.

It would be far more intriguing to discuss that subject now, at least to me.

*(Hell, considering the dialogue which has been released to the public in written form and multiple venues, it wouldn't surprise me if Bonesaw has the dead man's head stuffed like a trophy in a special little room, kinda like the stuffed giant lion or tiger, I forget which, you had mounted on a platform on the floor in the small room off your old BDF office at the Defense Ministry in the early 1980s. You know the one.)

Why Would You Kiss Netanyahoo's Hand?

Please, please don't do it. Please don't give into Israel-firsters Sheldon Adelson and Kushner's dirty deal for the Palestinians and Jordan. 

You've already kissed the ass of killer Mohammed Bonesaw with favorable publicity following the state murder of Jamal Khashoggi. 

Please do not betray the Arabs whose land, water, oil, olive trees and homes have been stolen by Israelis under cover of "security."

Please don't bow down to that dirty dog Netanyahoo and his Zionist land-and-resource stealing government. Please do not bring that dog to Bahrain and kiss his hand and the underhanded takeover of all Palestine, of Al Aqsa and all of Al Quds, of the ruthless murdering by the rogue Israeli state of 1,000s of  innocent Palestinians.

Resist the pressure to do this unseemly and inappropriate act. You're not Sultan Qaboos. You're not trying to mediate, to be a peacemaker. Please don't do it. It's 100 percent wrong.
===============
Afterthought.When I first read your book, First Light: Modern Bahrain and Its Heritage, the lack of proofreading was obvious. This was especially so in what I thought at the time was either an egregious proofreading error or a deliberately spiteful act on the part of your ghostwriter. I was personally offended on your behalf. You can find it in the 1st English edition published in 1994 by Kegan Paul International Limited, London, at 94:23:12-13. Two words. I guess that's what you must be doing with all these demeaning acts of support to those who deserve no defense whatsoever.

Update: Spelling it out for you, even if you're angry with me. "Suck work" is apparently what you're doing now. You were told, "Suck it," and you're doing it with your eyes open.

Guitars Take Trips, But They Ain't No Piano

(Blah, blah, blah. There was text here, but I cut it, need it for something else. Summary: a guitar works in a limited way for a singer and musician who loves the piano, but better than nothing, and my guitar went from London to Damascus to Bahrain to Santa Monica and Seattle.)



And now I'm blaming you because I don't have a piano or a house in which to play it. Try and make sense of that.



(Meanwhile, tomorrow is the first day of November and NaNoWriMo, so I'll be busy writing 225 pages of the next book over the month and this is likely the last post for a bit.)

Speedy Retirement for Shaikh Khalifa in November

Golly, I hope it's true, no matter the catalyst, that Uncle Khalifa will finally be retired in November as the longest-serving member of the Al Khalifa dictatorship. He won't need the golden parachute or a new gold watch as he's probably stashed a substantial portion of Bahrain's wealth into Swiss and Lichtenstein banks. 

His departure is the best gift to Bahrain imaginable if you don't replace him with his two shadows, the Khawalids, but with the (supposedly) more agreeable Salman.

I have a lot to say about him in the book that I'm planning to finish next month in the annual NaNoWriMo sprint to complement the one that I wrote last November. Every day that I write a paragraph, a page, a chapter or more, I bless the many diaries that I wrote and kept and you've been unable to steal, despite the Major's attempt in my old London flat. For just one example, I'd like you to think back to the threats Uncle made to me in the Mayfair Dorchester when I was 18. You heard them, all wrapped in honey, Sherry Brandy and talk about your destiny. I wrote them down.

I wish him well.

Stop Defending Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud

You need a new plan. 

You have defended in public the prince who orchestrated the gruesome torture and killing of Jamal Khashoggi. You've seen the pathetic and numerous responses of the Kingdom of Silence and Gold, and you know they are bull shit. (You're very familiar with cover-ups of political murders, but that's not the point today.)

The depth to which you've sunk in the slime of Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's depravity is stunning, to defend a sadistic, egomaniacal killer. He deserves no defense whatsoever. 

I know you've changed. I didn't recognize the man I loved when I saw you the last time. I truly wonder if you hate yourself for the man you've become, submissive to the killer prince.

You have the opportunity of a lifetime to redeem yourself right now, to stop being complicit in the cover-up and in the dirty ongoing wars. You could start with one step.

You could do it. You could get out of the fucking Al Saud slime. You can refuse to do Bonesaw's bidding, starting with no more gag-inducing P.R. for him. Again, he deserves no defense whatsoever.

I know that Trump is still defending Bonesaw while saying the cover-up is atrocious. Trump and his Jewish backers need Bonesaw for the anti-Palestinian, anti-Iran crusade and you know it. There's other military, economic and political reasons too numerous for here explaining why the U.S. and Al Sauds and Mohammed bin Zayed hold hands, dirty hands. You know all that, too.

I know that Bahrain has its hands out for cash from the Al Sauds and some of the U.A.E. sheikhs, and like Trump, for you it's all about the money. You will get it eventually, you have some leverage, but you could cancel the unneeded arms sales since Bahrain doesn't need to buy its U.S. protection. Remember? We pay your government for basing and facilities, we pay to upgrade them and have our own forces and material to protect. We're not leaving. So cancel those orders, use the funds wisely. You've got an opportunity right now -- while you look like a dirty, stinking, wet lapdog in front of the whole island -- to find and fund the most widely urgent project. Make amends!

You could ask Uncle Khalifa to return some of his corrupt gains since he seems to have got the lion's share. You, as the head of the family, could ask them all to start giving back instead of taxing non-family in more numerous ways every year. You could "find" funds buried in a budget somewhere to cover those returned by family since I know you won't do it openly. 

You can then wait for bigger financial help from your fellow dictators until Bonesaw is executed as he deserves under Sharia law.  Only the Khashoggi's could spare his life or the lives of those men who followed Bonesaw's orders via cellphone, Skype, WhatsApp or extra-sensory perception. They should not show him a bit of mercy. Khashoggi's life is the only life of thousands which Mohammed bin Salman has taken in Yemen and for which it seems possible he may be held accountable and face justice. 

Stop kissing the killer's ass, please. It's not a good look for you.

DNA

I finally did one of the well-known DNA tests and am allowing the publication of results. There was nothing surprising in them, all European.

My daughter has agreed to do the same, but hers should be half European and half Arab. 

Have you done a DNA test? If you haven't, will you please do one and allow the results to be made public?

Have a lovely day.

#DNA

Update 8/23/19
Thank you for asking (alleged) oldest son to do the DNA test, at least I assume that's how it happened when he told her to use an alias for the test, too. 

I don't think that I was ever more grateful in my life than a couple weeks ago when the results came in and I found out that she does not have a lying, bonesaw-loving, murderous dictator for a father. It's ironic as Hell that I lied to you about the seminal matter during the "confession" you wrought from me, telling Johnson later that almost everything that I told you was true, but that you would discover the big lie if you'd taped the conversation and heard my hesitancy in answering that critical question.

Of course I wish that I'd not relied upon the doctors (two different doctors, the first in Bahrain and the second in London) for the due date. I also wish that I hadn't convinced myself that you were the father of my child, most likely based on my desire (and plan) to have your child because I'd loved you for so long, even though I knew you would not like it. I truly thought that I'd be leaving the island before you found out and had no plan to tell you. The fact that you "recognize a pregnant mare" when you see one and that you saw me at the race track gate the day your new track opened, driving your car with the then crown price of Morocco, put paid to my plan to leave with my pregnancy undetected. Your summons was quick.

Of course, you had no idea that I'd previously been threatened by Ali and the dire situation I found myself in after my "non-coerced confession" was signed and witnessed in the U.S. Consulate. My guess is that you still don't, but Khalid the monster fixed that on my way through his office after exiting yours with his announce that Ali had murdered his first wife in Morocco. 

So, the matter is still sticky, but the relief that you are not related to my child is consoling. Ali has no idea, especially as he didn't believe that he was the father, the reason for his threat that he couldn't be responsible for what he'd do if I named him.

My escape was good because of that confession, but my fear -- that you'd take my child and cause her to spend her life in Arabia or harm her -- only ended recently, with the DNA news.

I didn't believe the person claiming to be your number one son was the same person in touch with my daughter. Why? Because he never made an attempt to meet her in person. Now I've changed my mind since he suggested they will meet when she returns to Britain. Of course it could be more Al Khalifa lies and promises, but the DNA news is not a lie.
