In a dictatorship there is no political freedom. Dissent is punished with removal from society \u8211\'96 prison, torture, dungeon and death. There is basic economic freedom since the State is the sole proprietor of wealth.}\ f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 DEMOCRACY DEFINED. In a democracy there is no economic freedom. You are a citizen in a set of similar democratic States. Being a citizen means you are a debtor. You are responsible for the national debt, e.g. a Mauritanian child born in the desert enters life owing his share of the national debt, thus is born into the world owing an unpayable sum of thousands of euros. You are free to change your political representative but, apart from his governmental taxes on you, he in turn has no power. He must keep you from rising up \u8211\'96 protest you are granted but not violent protest \ u8211\'96 then you must be crushed. That is the status quo. When the banks fail, losing millions, you must bail them out. In doing this it is perceived that you, the masses, have become (thanks to democracy) passive and obedient.}\f1\fs22\cf2\ par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 BANKERS DEFINED. The bankers, called by Proudhon, the Sect, are a mystical fraternity of atheists. They operate a usury system lending at interest, using not substantive, i.e. real wealth, but rather in the first instance paper currency, itself a \u8216\'91receipt\u8217\'92 for real wealth. Their power grew, and it has been growing since the French Revolution and the English de-empowering of its monarchy when it banished the legislative monarchs and replaced them with German obedient gentry.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\ sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 World War II and its aftermath, coming as it did with the computer-based transformation of global information, saw a vital evolutionary jump in practice and power. The financial system had in effect abandoned currency (the paper document promising payment) and simply functioned on the numbers of any given \u8216\'91currency\u8217\'92 and its transfer from global point A to global point B. The \u8216\'91money\u8217\'92 was no longer even a numerical sum, but rather that electronic impulse flashing between two computers. In other words, the bankers ruled by magic. They controlled the political class \u8211\'96 the latter knew their appointment was due not to the masses but the media (which the bankers owned) and their prior obedience to the fiduciary programme.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\ plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 At present the bankers have found that the political class are even more servile than they had imagined. Once the politicians revealed their servility by bailing out the financial system\u8217\'92s collapse \ u8211\'96 the bankers struck. Now, they said, look at this mess. We must clean up the market-place. The truth is you, the political class, owe us vast fortunes in national debts. Time to pay. Rename it \u8211\'96 the deficit \u8211\'96 the amount owing \u8211\'96 and clearly you must pay. In one move, the bankers (a system, yes, but run by the priesthood of the system) were a giant step nearer the logical and mathematical end of their religion \u8211\'96 one bank, no currency, and all mankind debtors.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 The move to collecting the deficit followed the bankers\u8217\'92 financial meltdown \ u8211\'96 over twenty trillion dollars \u8211\'96 people were too traumatized \ u8211\'96 now they had to, had to pay their dues.

To give the bankers new vitality they needed new customers. They needed several million new clients to allow their continued move to world dominance and to keep their elite, rich and rewarded. For example in mid deficit-crisis Britain, Barclays Bank awarded its boss nine million pounds bonus, following a public outcry, the boss (with the deathless name of Mr Diamond!) humbly said that in tune with other people\ u8217\'92s problems he would only take six million!}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\ sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 Ya Walad!}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\ cf2\chcbpat3 And this, is where you come in.

It takes only a shimmer of intellect to identify a scripted scenario being imposed on the impoverished Arab hordes. Jane Arden, the famous feminist of late 20th century England, called it \u8220\'93The Other Side of the Underneath\ u8221\'94, not what the fractured psyche imposed on itself but rather what outer events imposed on that broken self.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\ cf2\chcbpat3 With Bahrain we are in a whole different movie. It\u8217\'92s a costume movie. It is about power and it is about how masked, black robed women govern from below. It is part Freud and part Genet, by that I mean it involves both the Freudian model of family crisis (the Oedipal fixation) and the false dramatization of using mourning to dominate events (the Genet theatre). I mean, therefore, the presence of the psychological syndrome called \u8220\'93Shi\ u8216\'91a\u8221\'94, that anti-Islam that denies Khilafa and meritocracy in preference for genetic inheritance and at the same time a threatened end to events, punishing the existing world. For the core of the Shi\u8217\'92a religion is its denial of political power while claiming a necessity to overthrow existing power, promising an apocalyptic revenge at the end of time.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 In other words, the denial of present leaders because of their usurpation of a genetic inheritance. The Khalifate belonged to the father and the orchard belonged to the mother, that is \u8216\'91Ali ibn Abi Talib is the wronged and murdered inheritor of power and his wife\u8217\'92s real estate has been confiscated. Their sons have been assassinated and the mourning over one (Hussein) has become a tenet of the new anti-religion. The family are the disinherited to the twelfth generation, all assassinated, all perfect and all to be mourned until the twelfth who becomes suspended, a living dead, with a promise to put everything right at the end of the world \u8211\'96 bring social justice when it will surely be too late.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\ chcbpat3 In this new religion the enemy is Islam. Its followers revive themselves not only by ritual mourning of its martyred dead but by cursing the eminent leadership of Islam\u8217\'92s first days \u8211\'96 the wives of the Messenger, blessings and peace be upon him, and the almost total majority of the Companions, including those mentioned in Hadith as having been promised the Garden in the Next World.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 Its major holy day is \u8216\'91Ashura when Hussein was killed in battle against the Muslims. In the judgment of Europe\u8217\'92s greatest Islamic jurisprudent, Qadi Abu Bakr ibn \u8216\'91Arabi of Granada: \ u8220\'93Hussein was killed with the sword of his grandfather,\u8221\'94 i.e. the Prophet, meaning he died a rebel against Islam.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\ sb50{\f1\fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 The religion took its name from a Qur\u8217\'92anic term indicating splitting from the people of the truth, thus, from the beginning it meant not a sect, not an innovation, not certainly a true elevation \u8211\'96 but rather, an end. A break. An otherness. Over the centuries the Muslims have tried to find accommodation with them, have conferred, conceded and even apologized. It has been met consistently by rejection and even punishment. Hiding behind its new doctrine of Taqiya it tells its followers that lying and dissembling to Muslims is a moral virtue. They, not we, preclude any chance of dialogue once one party considers laying a virtue of their case.}\f1\fs22\cf2\par\pard\plain\ql\sb50{\f1\ fs22\cf2\chcbpat3 At the heart of the Shi\u8216\'91a religion lies the broken family. Yet if the father is murdered, disinherited, and his sons dethroned from power, the mother is elevated to a mystical role of preserver and guardian of the wronged lineage. The pretended descendants of \u8216\'91Ali are raised up as an inner elite, Sayyids, bearing special turbans, and claiming financial aid. Fatima is the protecting holy mother of the martyred sons. She is in an \u8220\'93eternal\ u8221\'94 mourning passed on to Shi\u8216\'91a women in sacred perpetuity. This is the black chador with its slit-eye mask. This is the uniform of the Shi\u8216\'91a power elite, like the black uniform of Hitler\u8217\'92s S.S. The black uniform is a Shi\u8216\'91a creation and the degree to which it has spread in our time and in the Middle East is a proof of how much Shi\u8216\'91a influence has extended among Muslims since the fall of the Khalifate.

When his wife questioned about the correctness of her dress, the Prophet indicated that she should be covered except \u8211\'96 and he mimed the hands and the face.

The issue here is fundamental to our position as Muslims. It is not soluble within the modalities of the current absolutist world system of capitalism. In capitalism money has no intrinsic worth (like gold of feathers). Currency basically is numbers. These numbers can be given new (Euro) or old (Dollar) names, yet they are computed as numbers. Human beings in the capitalist system are regarded identically. They are no longer even men and women. Humans have been named \u8220\'93citizens\u8221\'94 and this term has already given way to the term \ u8220\'93debtor\u8221\'94.

In short \u8211\'96 the issue was the granting of a state to the Muslims. The deciding principle was that this should be measured by counting heads.

Assad ordered the massacre of over 20,000 men, women and children. The Shi\u8216\'91a regime was then ensconced in a daily reign of terror. 10,000 people have vanished without trace. It is the third partner in the kafir triangle of terror and genocide: Kashmir, the Uighurs of East Turkestan, and Syria.
