    While Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirates and Qatar send forces to stop the revolution, Al Jazeera coverage there is next to nothing. Do not blindly trust the mass media, the "kingdoms" are helping each other...

    Default If Gaddafi is a murderer, what is King Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa?

    There are many horrible videos in youtube about Bahrein, the demonstrators don't even have weapons, but the police and armed forces shoot to kill. Where is AJ statement about supporting democracy for the people of Bahrain? Please don't let Libya distract you from this.

    Few examples:

    Yeah...I wonder where the pressing for a UN resolution by the US/France/Brittain is now....or is it just inconvenient to call for humanity when it concerns allies?

    The King of Bahrain is smart enough not to use tanks. Gaddafi made the mistake of using heavy weapons. As for Saleh ... he used heavy weapons, but in remote rural areas that the press never got access too.


    Just a thought (not related to u but some of the third worldists on this forum)
    Gaddafi ... the Khalifas ... Saleh ... all these guys have to go. "Third worldists" who support Gaddafi against the west are as biased as the American government, which seems to think Bahrain and Yemen should be ignored while we bomb Libya.

    The mass industrial struggle against the government and for better living standards has spread to virtually every sector of the economy. Workers in the construction sector, national air carrier Gulf Air, the energy industry, and the public sector are on strike.

    In a move that will be met with consternation by the imperialist powers and global financial markets, striking oil refinery workers at the state-owned Bahrain Petroleum Company partially shut down production on Sunday. The refinery, which can process up to 250,000 barrels of crude oil each day, is operating at just 10 percent capacity, according to a union spokesperson.

    Confirmed: The Bahraini government demolishes a hospital that treated the injured from the protests.
    We have on this earth what makes life worth living:
    On this earth, the Lady of Earth

    She was called Palestine.
    Her name later became Palestine
    My Lady, because you are my Lady, I deserve life

    Lenin Quotes:
    "Democracy is indispensable to socialism."
    "Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners. "
    If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.

    ITUC demands end to anti-union repression in Bahrain.

    The Baharaini authorities seem to be intent on destroying the country’s trade union movement, as a central part of a campaign of revenge against those who took part in peaceful demonstrations and strike actions in protest at the killing and maiming of innocent people by Bahrain’s security forces with the support of foreign troops.
