“World leading event” for global arms sales

The so-called Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) boasts to be “the world leading event” for global arms sales. “DSEI represents the entire supply chain on an unrivaled scale.”

DSEI 2017 is now underway (12-15 September 2017) at the Excel Center in East London, showcasing the latest equipment and systems across the military sectors.

Despots, dictatorships and human rights abusers from 56 countries have been invited, “these include a range of regimes with appalling human rights records: such as Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam,” CAAT reported.

“Other governments, such as Israel, will send delegations to promote arms via national pavilions, while others will be invited by the event organisers, Clarion Events.”

Britain now world’s 2nd biggest arms dealer –Report

UK has been selling more arms than Russia, China, or France on average over the last 10 years, second only to the United States, according to UK Trade and Investment, a government body that promotes British exports abroad.

“Since 2010 Britain has also sold arms to 39 of the 51 countries ranked ‘not free’ on the Freedom House ‘Freedom in the world’ report, and 22 of the 30 countries on the UK Government’s own human rights watch list,” a report said.

UK govt issued £10bn [US$13.2bn] in arms licenses between 2010-2015 to regimes designated “unfree” by Freedom House, including China, Oman, Turkmenistan and UAE, according to a joint analysis conducted by the Independent and Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT).

Meanwhile £7.9bn worth of arms were sold to countries on the “human rights priority countries” list, which is maintained by the Foreign Office and includes countries judged by the FCO to have “the worst, or greatest number of, human rights violations.”

Two-thirds of UK weapons exports have gone to Middle Eastern countries since 2010, the report added.

Don Trump Shaking Down Qatari Emir for Protection

Unlike Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE…, Qatar is the only wealthy Arab country that has so far refused to pay protection money to Don Trump, informed sources say.

• Reports Saudi Arabia 01 – 25 are available from FIRE-EARTH PULSARS.

Background:

It’s understood that the so-called president and his family will have received about $50 billion by 2020 from the Sunni kingdoms in return for special considerations, including waving the Saudis liability for 9/11, protection from similar prosecution and permission to play on the global stage. A private congtract, prepared by Jared Kushner, was agreed during Trump’s tour of Saudi Arabia, informed sources say.

UN ranks Qatar highest among Arab states for human development

Qatar is a high income economy, thanks to the world’s third largest natural gas reserves and oil reserves. The country has the highest per capita income in the world [Total GDP-PPP of $353.23 billion; per capita $146,000.] UN has classified Qatar as the highest among Arab state for human development.

Sleep with Saudi Dogs, Wake Up with Wahhabi Terrorists

Early Dividends of the US Fake President’s Love Affair with Sheikh Salman, et al.

Terrorists have killed 12, and wounded dozens in Tehran attacks. The Islamic State (ISIL) has claimed responsibility.

Let’s hope Trump-Pence are removed from office soon, and the Saudi royal family are neutralized, before they can organize the next waves of Wahhabi terrorists to strike the homeland. And it’s only a matter of time before they would attempt to fulfill their satanic obligation…

[Prepared by an affiliated team of political scientists.]

• Reports Saudi Arabia 01 – 23 are available from FIRE-EARTH PULSARS.

Background:

“Iran’s revolutionary guard lashed out at Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, hours after 12 people were killed and 42 others were wounded in devastating attacks on two potent symbols in Tehran, the capital: Iran’s Parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.”

In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps faulted both Saudi Arabia and the United States government: “The public opinion of the world, especially Iran, recognizes this terrorist attack — which took place a week after a joint meeting of the U.S. president and the head of one of the region’s backward governments, which constantly supports fundamentalist terrorists — as very significant,” clearly referring to Saudi Arabia. The statement also acknowledged the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility.”

Shortly after Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, police in Bahrain, a tiny country ruled by Saudi-backed minority Sunni thugs, and  a member of the Gulf alliance, raided a prominent Shiite cleric’s hometown, arresting nearly 300 people in an assault that killed five protesters. “The tiny island-state hosting the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet and heavily supported by neighboring Saudi Arabia long has accused Iran of arming Shiite militants and seeking to foment unrest.”

“Tensions have also risen in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich Eastern Province between [majority] Shiite activists and security forces there.”

“Hard-line royal elements who favor tougher action against Shiite protests may regard President Trump’s (comments) in Riyadh as permission to escalate,” Simon Henderson of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy wrote after the Bahrain raid. It “could have dangerous consequences for both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.”

The ridiculous Qatar episode followed soon after.

The Qatar crisis: A ‘win-win’ for the United States?

“The underlying Saudi and Emirati grievances with Qatar have been lingering for a while, but the real catalyst of this week’s crisis is the new US administration,” wrote Chris Davidson, who teaches politics at Durham University in England.

“Notably, in the wake of the Arab spring, which witnessed the brief resurgence of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups, both Saudi Arabia and the UAE had identified such forces as potential existential threats to their own regimes, not only because the Brotherhood enjoyed much support amongst their own conservative populations, but also because it offered the region an alternative Islamic governance model that dispensed with the need for hereditary monarchies.”

“The Saudi and UAE-organized coup d’état in Egypt in 2013 was supposed to have put the Brotherhood and Qatar back in their places,” he wrote.

“Pundits have put forward a number of reasons as to why the escalation has happened right now.

“Many, for example, have pointed to a strengthening relationship between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and their common goal of cutting off Qatari assistance to Hamas. Certainly, Qatar’s hosting of a Hamas conference last month did not go down well, and perhaps helps explain why — according to the leaked emails of the UAE’s ambassador to the U.S. — a recent high profile anti-Qatar symposium was staged by a major Washington-based, pro-Israel think tank.”

“Even if the Donald Trump team has clearly been trying to fleece Saudi Arabia out of its remaining assets by getting the kingdom to buy up weapons it can ill-afford, and even getting it to invest in U.S. physical infrastructure at a time when it really needs to be investing in its own infrastructure, there has nonetheless been a strong feeling in Riyadh that the new White House is a going to be a much firmer ally than the previous U.S. presidency.”

– Saudi Report # 22 –

World’s most prolific paymaster of terrorism and its Klingons cut ties with Qatar for “supporting terrorism”

[Prepared by an affiliated team of political scientists.]

• Reports Saudi Arabia 01 – 22 are available from FIRE-EARTH PULSARS.

Background:

Saudi Arabia and its Klingons, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, have cut diplomatic and commercial ties with Qatar, accusing the tiny Gulf state of supporting terrorists and destabilizing the region.

Bahrain said it was cutting ties with Qatar because Doha was “shaking the security and stability of Bahrain and meddling in its affairs,” the state’s news agency reported.

The breaking of  ties with Qatar follows a leaked email between Hillary Clinton and John Podesta, dated October 2016, in which Clinton discussed Saudi and Qatari government funding for Islamic State (IS, also ISIS, ISIL), three years ago.

Monster Sandstorm Plagues UAE, Gulf Region

Massive sandstorm disruption air traffic throughout Gulf region

Large, blinding plumes of orange haze blanketing Saudi Arabia on Wednesday moved east severely reducing visibility and forcing authorities to cancel flights in Dubai, Abu Dhabi,  Bahrain and Qatar, according to local reports.

“According to followed procedures, domestic and international flights at both King Abdullah Airports of Jazan, Abha, Wadi Aldwasir, Bisha, Sharourah and Najran, have been suspended temporarily starting from Thursday morning until further notice,” the official Saudi Press Agency, SPA, quoted the authorities as saying.

“Normal operations have been disrupted at Dubai International [world’s busiest in 2014 with nearly 71 million passengers] and Al Maktoum International due to bad weather across the GCC,” Dubai Airports said on its website.

Warning motorist about the poor visibility, the UAE National Center for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said, “brisk and strong winds are aggravating the effect of sand and dust, causing a near complete lack of vision in daylight.”

Authorities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia ordered schools to close, citing “extreme weather conditions.”

‘Britain Running Out of Wheat’

Unseasonably cold spring severely affecting Britain’s wheat and vegetable crops

“The last 12 months have been unreal for farmers. Last April we had a drought and talk of a hosepipe ban, then we had to contend with heavy rains and flooding and then the wintery weather, frozen land and snow,” the National Farmers Union (NFU) said.

UK temperatures over the past week fell to among the coldest experienced in April for nearly 100 years, with maximum temperatures barely above the freezing in many parts of the southeast, according to local reports.

At -11.2ºC (11.8 degrees Fahrenheit), the village of Braemar in Scotland, about 90 km west of Aberdeen, on Tuesday, held the joint coldest April weather anywhere in the UK for nearly a century.

The unseasonably cold spring is severely affecting Britain’s wheat and vegetable crops.

“A disastrous 12-month cycle of poor weather has ruined harvests across the UK, costing farmers an estimated £500m, the chief economist of the National Farmers Union (NFU) warned,” said a report.

“The crop damage deals a further blow to Britain’s beleaguered farming industry, which is already reeling from a spate of recent livestock deaths due to the cold weather. To make matters worse, the weather has made planting new crops more difficult and damaged many of the seeds that have been sown in recent weeks.” The report said.

UK is expected to import about 1.5m tons more wheat than it exports this “crop year,” from July 2012 to June 2013, which compares to net exports of 1.6m tons last crop year and 2.2m tons 4 years ago, the report quoted the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) as saying.

Potato plantings are also down from  30,000 hectare this time last year to just 4,000 hectares, as of March end 2013.

The cold weather has also led to a heightened demand for gas, pushing the wholesale price much higher and forcing the government to source emergency deliveries of liquified gas from Qatar.
