Turning Yemenis

The Napoleon (far left) of the little country of Yemen has left the building...

Over the weekend, tens of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets to celebrate the departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. He's in Saudi Arabia being treated for injuries suffered in an assault on the presidential palace.

High Fives by Low Lives. It is no surprise that for a few willing to sell their soul, absolute power is a just a hand shake away. But who would have guessed that a popular uprising in the middle east could be engineered from without. With such romantic names like Jasmine Revolution or Arab Spring, the media will portray this peoples' revolution with monotone shades of camouflage blood crimson.

Like old camels put out to pasture, each and every world leader that is not up to the test of kowtowing to Imperial Financial insistence of complicity in the domination of the masses will be ousted one way or another. The twilight of the old american century is giving way to a new dark age.

Yemen is a fascinating place geographically. Nature created an oasis in the desert by the sea. Their god also deposited enough oil under the sand to make them a target of the petroleum dragons.

And so they syphon the sludge to fill barrels with crude for sales that reap obscene profit. But little of the wealth benefits the citizenry of common people.

Your average Yemeni guy may be an illiterate superstitious block-head but they are still people of their land and deserve better opportunity than what their current leadership offers.

It is a crime against humanity to criminalize the downtrodden, but it happens all the time.

A young man must have dreams and opportunity or he will get very upset and perhaps even go ape-sh*t one day.

Likewise, a young girl is entitled to the same opportunities and respect, or she too may go ape-sh*t one day.

Where i come from, this looks like a permanent funeral not a lifestyle choice.

Oops, you never know who's under that burka...

... or what they might get up to given a wardrobe revolution.

While most people live in places like these...

... they worship in places like this.

While intolerant old men waste their time like this...

... your average Yemeni prefers to waste their time like this.

One thing is certain, America's Imperial yearnings of the last 100 years have got us chained in a bed of thorns with incompatibles. We have squandered our wealth on blowing shit up and killing our children.

Stop Endless War

"We've killed well over a million people. We've orphaned and displaced five times that number at least. And here in our own country, we've managed to throw millions of people of out work and out of their homes," Ferner told reporters at a press conference Wednesday. "There is a connection there. That connection is the true cost of war."

Demand PEACE On EARTH Now

... the Government now watches much of the citizenry behind a fully opaque one-way mirror -- that the dangers should be obvious. And this is all supposed to be the other way around: it's government officials who are supposed to operate out in the open, while ordinary citizens are entitled to privacy.

Supplier Under Scrutiny on Aging Arms for Afphans
from NYT (not the harold)

"...the American military has relied since early last year on a fledgling company led by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur.

With the award last January of a federal contract worth as much as nearly $300 million, the company, AEY Inc., which operates out of an unmarked office in Miami Beach, became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan’s army and police forces.

As Efraim Diveroli arrived in Miami Beach, AEY was transforming itself by aggressively seeking security-related contracts.

He also suggested that his activities should be shielded from public view."
