(H) Bahraini protesters rally to support political prisoners
Anti-regime protesters have held a demonstration near Bahrain’s capital to show solidarity with the political prisoners jailed by the Saudi-backed Al Khalifa regime.
The demonstrators, who took to the streets on Thursday, promised not to end their protest rallies against the regime in Manama.
On Sunday, anti-regime demonstrators in the northern village of Dair blocked roads and burned tires in a protest action against the ruling Al Khalifa family.
Bahrain is in the midst of an ongoing popular revolution that started in mid-February 2011.
The Bahraini regime has harshly cracked down on the protests, killing scores of people and jailing many others.
The Saudi-backed regime is also accused of abusing prisoners as Western governments retain silence on the crackdown. This is while international rights organizations have severely criticized Manama over its rights violations.
The Bahraini public hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for deaths of protesters during the uprising.

Bilderberg 2012: detailed member bios, UK Guardian’s video interview
The “1%’s” elite Bilderberg meeting concludes today. The Guardian, the UK’s second-leading online newspaper, has reported on Bilderberg the last three years; their reporter Charlie Skelton explains Bilderberg in this 17-minute interview with InfoWars.
Video Rebel’s Blog brilliantly documents Bilderberg participants’ biographies; I repost with a few edits. I recognize some of the factual claims, and have not done the immense work to verify and document all of them. Readers are advised to do their own research and thinking, as always. I appreciate Video Rebel’s leadership of factual discovery.
The “emperor has no clothes” obvious conclusion regarding Bilderberg is that the 1%’s policies in war and money are unlawful, annually kill in the millions, harm billions, and loot trillions of the 99%’s wealth. The only ethical, rational, and lawful response is to arrest obvious leaders to end these crimes:
- The wars are Orwellian unlawful because war law makes armed attack illegal unless first attacked by another nation’s government.
- Using debt as a so-called money supply is economic criminal fraud because it creates ever-increasing aggregate debt that can never be repaid (because that’s what we use for money). This is just one cartel of many that shift trillions of the 99%’s wealth to the 1%.
- The crimes and lies are only possible through corporate media’s complicity.
Video Rebel’s documentation:
The 2012 members list released by the Bilderbergers is most remarkable for what it does not mention. The incoming chairman runs one of the biggest insurance companies in the world. Many members own banks. Europe requires banks and insurance companies to buy toxic national bonds. Wouldn’t it be nice if Ben Bernanke would print up 10 or 20 trillion dollars and swap out toxic assets for international bonds. Kevin Warsh who is listed as a college professor is a former member of the Bush Plunge Protection team and a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Warsh is highly recommended by his friend Bernanke. That is good news for billionaires but might not be good news for you.
Professor Lipsky just happened to be ex-Managing Director of the IMF and is an expert on Greek finances and European bailouts. Daniel Estulin says Bilderberg will discuss devaluing the dollar. I think their ultimate goal is Hyperinflation.
