Hariri's kidnapping is just part of a major coup in Saudi Arabia

This intereview with Lebanese journalist Marwa Osman at The Corbett Report is most interesting:

The most luxurious hotel in Riyadh is now a prison for all the princes in the realm. Furthermore at least one key prince, Fahed bin Abdullah was killed by gunfire. Incidentally this man was best friend since childhood of kidnapped Lebanese PM Hariri and his business partner.

Israel and Washington behind the scenes

In min. 14:55 she says: "He [Mohamed bin Salman] sees Hizbollah as a threat to himself. I don't know why, because Hizbollah is a threat to Israel not to him".

To understand that one has to take in account the revelations that Prince Khalid bin Farhan al-Saud made in June to the Middle East Monitor: Mohamed has made a deal with Trump by which the USA backs his bid for total power, including speedy ascension to the throne (his father, the nominal king, has Alzheimer). in exchange for Saudi blessing and financing for the Final Solution against Gaza Strip, a territory that Israel now covets for their version of the Suez Canal. 

I discussed this and the sudden hostility against Qatar here.

Very weird: Saudi Arabia kidnaps Lebanese Prime Minister and forces his resignation

The weirdest of all things is that Saad Hariri is widely considered as very close to Saudi Arabia.

In spite of that affinity, the Lebanese PM is effectively kidnapped in Riyadh and had to record a resignation, written in the Saudi dialect of Arabic, which was broadcast by the Saudi TV channel Al Arabiya. The statement also included a total rejection of Hezbollah, something very Saudi but very much non-Lebanese.

Watch this interview (TRN) for further details:

Saudi strongman and heir to the throne, Mohamed bin Salman, has been doing all kind of weird things as of late: kidnapping many of his own relatives, what seems intended to quell all possible opposition to his takeover, backed by the USA in exchange for very cruel favors to Israel (they are planning the "final solution" to the Palestinian "problem").

This seems like yet another move intended to consolidate Mohamed's power by paying the horrible price of genocide and treason to Israel and its US colonial motherland. It's wacko but it fits. 

Surely the USA already has orchestrated the replacement and is one that will serve the interests of Zionism.

Saudi Arabia orders citizens to "leave Lebanon immediately"

According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia has ordered its citizens to leave Lebanon "immediately", the state news agency reported in an SMS alert on Wednesday.

"The Saudi Arabian embassy in Lebanon calls all Saudi citizens to leave Lebanon immediately," the alert said, without elaborating.

Nothing else. But enough to get everybody worried, specially in Lebanon.

Ex-SKF comments that oil prices spiked after the advisory was known:

Update: 

With due caution it may be simply caused by the growing spillover of the Syrian civil war into Lebanon, with some kidnappings going on. 

Arab Revolution reaches Palestine in the 63rd anniversay of the Nakba: Apartheid forces murder many, border walls destroyed

Nakba, Arab word meaning disaster, hecatomb, the Palestinian equivalent to the Holocaust - ironically caused by some of the survivors of this other genocide. It began in 1948 when the recently arrived European Jewish settlers established a state and deported the natives massively by use of fear and massacres. 

It has continued to present day for 63 painful years. However it may well be nearing its end... because the Arab Revolution is not going to remain outside the last racist European colony for long.

Of course the Zionazis won't surrender so easily but it's clear that it is the beginning of the end of colonial apartheid in Palestine (aka Israel). By the moment they have declared the word Nakba illegal and any commemoration as well. 

Palestinians have gone to the streets of course but the Zionazis are murdering them. The information is confuse but I could gather the following:

Scores (90?) injured in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanese and Syrian borders as the colonial army attempts to stop peaceful civil marches attempting to exercise the right to return and destroying border fences. 

At least eight killed among them.

More info at Palestine Blogs Aggregator, notably Occupied Palestine.

I'm not fan of Gilad Atzmon but he makes some good points today: as (former?) Israeli himself he knows well that it is Israelis who are the infiltrators and not Palestinians attempting to return to their homes.

Update:

Uruknet says it's 15 the murdered protesters only at the demarcation line in Syria. Some of the returning refugees did cross as far as to a village within Israel-occupied territory in Syria (Golan Heights).

In the border with Lebanon the mortal victims were 4, it seems.

A teenager was killed at the walls of the largest prison on Earth: Gaza Strip. Other 82 people were injured there as well, as they tried to regain access to their homeland. 

At the wall of shame that criss-crosses the West Bank to protect Zionist settlements and fragment and imprison Palestinian natives there were also protests with attempts of breach. At Al Wallaja 8 Palestinians (including two twin children aged 11) and 6 internationalists (from North America and Europe) were arrested. Al Wallaja is one of the villages most harmed by the destruction brought by the apartheid wall.

Add at least 30 injured in Ramallah while trying to breach a checkpoint and unclear reports of clashes in Hebron and Jerusalem. 

Probably the true figures are much higher, because the information is flowing only slowly.

Overall today has been one of the bloodiest days of Zionist history, excepting offensive military campaigns (against civilians mostly).


Update (2): Al Jazeera has some complementary information as well, including a video and photo gallery.

A dominant motif in every Nakba commemoration are keys, keys of homes that now surely do not exist anymore, keys that symbolize the right of the Palestinian People to live in all their ancestral homeland without restrictions of any kind imposed by foreign colonists.

The real keys of history and roots

The symbolic keys of hope and the future

Of course, Palestine is not the only place where revolts and repression is happening: Syria, Yemen and Bahrain are still very hot. But I think that Palestine is particular because of novelty and also because it's destined to become a central part of the Arab Revolution.

It is also the only country where an apartheid colonial regime exists with all its peculiarities. 

Government kills protesters in South Kurdistan. Lebanese demand end of sectarian system

Several have been killed by government-sponsored forces in South Kurdistan (aka Iraqi Kurdistan) as demonstrators went to the streets demanding the end of corruption and the single twin-party system that governs the autonomous state since the US-led invasion of 2003.

Follows Press TV video (source: Protestation.org):






Lebanon: first demonstration against the sectarian system

Lebanon enjoys a democratic (parlamentarian) regime but people is forced to vote along religious/communitarian lines, keeping the country artificially divided internally that way and forcing a religious identity upon people. For those reasons Lebanese have gone out to the streets demanding the end of this system imposed by the colonial powers in the past and perpetuated by means of civil war and Zionist invasions. 

See video at Protestation.org.

So in the end it was not Syria...

Even the son of murdered Lebanese politician and tycoon Rafiq Hariri, Saad al-Hariri, who rose to power largely propelled by the shadow of his father and the outrage against his murder, now admits that the charges against Syria were false. They were, he says, politically motivated and helped by many false witnesses.

This was kind of obvious for some critical minds, at least for me, since the very beginning, but it is good to know it has become official in the end, even if the usual media are not paying much attention to this turn of events, unlike the overwhelming coverage they had of the false rumors pointing to Damascus.

The murder, or rather its political ramifications, led to Syria, which had played a key stabilizing role in Lebanon since the Israeli invasion in the 1980s, changed government but it also meant that the country became unprotected from Israeli attacks and soon. in 2006, there was another Zionist campaign, that nevertheless was largely repealed by Hizbullah and the small Lebanese Army, not without wreaking havoc in many shiite neighborhoods, flattened by the Zionist bombings.

This campaign, together with the defeat of (Israel-supported) Georgia against Russia in 2008 are considered often an inflexion point in the myth of Israeli invincibility and show in fact how weak is the West Asian racist rogue state, in spite of its hyper-modern military and nuclear warheads.

Whatever the case, a question remains open: if it was not Syria who killed Hariri, who was instead? We all know the answer, of course, just that we have no evidence... yet. But ask yourself: qui bono? To whom did this mini-9/11 covert operation benefit?
