From The Guardian . The case of Khashoggi {and that of Anna Politkovskaya ]

comment:  I can immagine in times like this when "some invisible trend"  wants to "secure" the wealth of the world and put it safely away in it s own pocket ..... a country like Saudi has seemed to it to be  a bit "annoyingly" protected by God himself.   So many people would have said to President Ghaddafi s face that they would have liked to carve him up for dinner but the Saudi Royals were not the types to be simple and sincere beduins like mr Q   ....  they ruled a country very much like  the Vatican .  Royalties  like the Queen with "intrigues" being the staple of the day ....  they were aware that they had to be on the winning side.  Mr Qaddafi was not protected by anyone , his friends told him to runaway and hide in an old peoples home .

Anna Politkovskaya too was killed for doing her job ,,,, it is 


part of the risk 


of doing the reporters work  , and who defended her after the 


deed was done ?   






Many hope, 



[like myself

 ]     that 



the house of Saud will be miraculously  saved from "the 



predators" who want to



 set their teeth into the wealth .....  they couldnt really care 


less about the havoc 


created in 

 yet another oil rich  country and just as Libia 

was destroyed have the 

same 


happen where ever it is possible,  Certainly the last bastions 



of capitalism are 



appetising  , but i   hope that Peace is kept in Saudi Arabia 


 and prosperity will 


continue in that country -







Jamal Khashoggi: Saudis blame 'rogues' as pressure on crown prince grows

  • Corker: US intercepts ‘point to involvement at a very high level’
  • Trump ‘would love’ if Mohammed bin Salman not responsible

A senior Republican senator on Sunday said he believed the Saudi crown prince was responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi and that the US had intelligence suggesting “very high-level” involvement.
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee said Mohammed bin Salman had “crossed a line” by apparently overseeing the death of Khashoggi, a dissident journalist, and that “there has to be a punishment and a price to pay” for doing so.
The Saudi foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, put it differently, saying the Washington Post columnist was murdered in a “rogue operation”. Al-Jubeirtold Fox News: “The individuals did this out of the scope of their authority.” He claimed Bin Salman had no involvement and that the killers were not closely tied to the prince, despite convincing reports to the contrary.
“If he did it then I think there should be a collective response,” Corker said on CNN’s State of the Union, suggesting that the US, UK and other leading powers would target Bin Salman personally with economic sanctions.

Living Art As A Work in Progress

There was my favorite song by The Style Council  on at the caffe,  it was haunting because i had listened to it a lot during my years at university, in Florence, and i listened to it in Tehran while i was looking after my mother.  It was so romantic and expressed  nostalgic  feelings.   I looked out of the window while sipping at my coffee and indulged in looking out onto the busy street from the comfort of my armchair .... on this rainy day i was in Paris and a dream i had, had come true......  " Empty hours Spent combing the street In daytime showers They've become my beat; As I walk from cafe to bar I wish I knew where you are; Because you've clouded my mind And now I'm all out of time  Empty skies say try to forget Better advice is to have no regrets; As I tread the boulevard floor Will I see once more; Because you've clouded my mind 'Till then I'm biding my time I'm only sad in a natural way And I enjoy sometimes feeling ...

My mother's family life in Banglore as children (1930's onwards .... and before the Partitian

Life and opinions of Jahan Namazie/Azim Ali ....  written in the summer of 2018 They had this theory that children being small didn't need much food. The choicest food was given to the men, as they were the bread winners so they needed to eat well. The dastarkhan was laid with all the best dishes. The men were served first while the women and children waited patiently till the men finished eating and the leftovers the women and rest of the family ate. Lucky for us we did not practice this in our house. My mother believed men and women were equal and deserved the same opportunities. She made my brothers do house work as well as the girls which was shocking as men had to be waited hand and foot. Men never went into the kitchen or took care of the children. My father had broken the rules, he did the cooking and took care of the children. Every one made fun of him, but he had an excuse as my mother was disabled due to her arthritis and co...
