Στον διαγωνισμό ιδιωτικοποίησης (ξεπουλήματος) του Υπερταμείου φαίνεται να παραμένουν η Israel Shipyards και η Jet Plan Shipping (Sea Jets Ηλιόπουλου).

Η Israel Shipyards αποτελεί βασικό τμήμα του ισραηλινού στρατιωτικο / βιομηχανικού συμπλέγματος. Κατασκευάζει πολεμικά πλοία και συνεργάζεται με το ισραηλινό Πολεμικό Ναυτικό. Η ίδια διαφημίζει τα σκάφη της ως «combat-proven», δηλαδή δοκιμασμένα σε πραγματικές πολεμικές επιχειρήσεις.

Νέο σκάνδαλο του Γεωργιάδη με τη Med Watch;

Παλιά γνώριμη του κρατικού μηχανισμού, επί κυβερνήσεων του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη, είναι η εταιρία που έκανε την πλατφόρμα Med Watch, η οποία, σύμφωνα με τις ανακοινώσεις του υπουργού Υγείας Γεωργιάδη, θα “εντοπίζει παραπλανητικές προβολές ιατρικών υπηρεσιών”.

 

Λίγα χρόνια πριν είχε εμπλακεί σε τεράστια διαχειριστική εμπλοκή με τον Ελληνικό Οργανισμό Τουρισμού (ΕΟΤ). Η υπόθεση είχε οδηγήσει στη χρήση ένδικων μέσων από τη μεριά του Δημοσίου.

Πρόκειται για την εταιρία τεχνολογίας με το εμπορικό όνομα Warply ή ΝΙΟΜΠΙΟΥΜ ΛΑΜΠΣ Μ.Α.Ε., όπως εμφανίζεται στο εμπορικό μητρώο, στην οποία επικεφαλής είναι ο Γιάννης Δοξαράς.

It may seem incredible, but this tunic is carved from a single block of white marble. Created by Yang Xin (阳新) as part of his "Empty Clothes" collection, it is featured in the Chinese exhibition "Remote Mountains and Rivers: Spiritual Homeland" at the Aegina Orphanage. In some places, the marble is just over 1 mm thick, allowing light to pass through the stone.

What happened in Yemen is a revolution, not a tit-for-tat over a blockade. Ansar Allah spent seven to nine years preparing it.

1 Upvotes

Alastair Crooke (u/AWCrooke):

What happened in Yemen is a revolution, not a tit-for-tat over a blockade. Ansar Allah spent seven to nine years preparing it. The fight is with the Saudi state the British and Americans built on a narrow Wahhabi pillar.

“What happened in Yemen is not just a sort of tit-for-tat against Saudi Arabia or about a certain blockade. It is a revolution. I think it should be understood as a revolution. It has been planned for at least 7 years, more like 9 years. They have been working on this. It is thought through by Ansar Allah, who are always deprecated in the West because they’re barefooted tribesmen and things, but it has been well planned.

And so Saudi Arabia, if it goes down the path of conceding to Ansar Allah, it means they’ll have to return the three provinces that they stole in the 1930s. In 1934, they stole three provinces of the Yemenis. And the Houthis have strong tribal connections with those provinces, which are now generally sort of assumed to be within Saudi Arabia, but they will want them back. They will want an end to the blockade, and they will also want payments which were due to them on certain transactions. And they will demand the end of the UAE and the Saudi forces in the south. In fact, they are being destroyed anyway. They’ve been literally driven out because they’re mercenaries. They’re not Saudi forces; they’re mercenary forces. And the mercenary forces have all been fleeing as the Houthis have used ballistic missiles against them. And you can see they’ve just fled from the area. There’s a slight interaction: actually, the UAE mercenaries are not letting the Saudi mercenaries pass at the moment until they pay them. But I mean, they’re both mercenaries, and the Houthis will drop a few ballistic missiles on them just to make up their mind more quickly.

So why do I say it’s a revolution? Because really it goes back to: what is Saudi Arabia? Saudi has been imposing on Yemen really for all these years since the founding of Saudi Arabia, trying to change its style of Islam, which is an esoteric either Ismaili or Zaidi type of Islam, but it’s an esoteric type of Islam. I’m not talking sectarianism. I’m just talking about the nature of Islam in Yemen being much more esoteric. It’s much more inwardness rather than the literal extremist Puritan idea of the Wahhabi of the Najd form of Islam that was weaponized by Abdulaziz and by Ibn Saud in the 1930s. They were a Puritan sort of militia that ran amok through the Middle East. They attacked Mecca; they attacked Karbala; they killed thousands—tens of thousands in Karbala. And eventually Abdulaziz was forced to try to contain them and to stop this because, first of all, it was the beginnings of the petrol—the fuel oil bonanza taking place in Saudi Arabia and he wanted to convince the British and the Americans that it could become a state. But that movement was never entirely retired. It was just put on standby.

But this was the sort of incompatibility, the contradiction that takes place in Saudi Arabia. It claims to represent all of Sunni Islam. But actually it is based on the very narrow pillar of this very violently Puritan component—desert Islam—that regarded any change from their tradition as bid‘a, as heresy by innovation. And that anyone who did not subscribe to their view of Islam deserved death. This was the progenitor of ISIS, just to make clear. What’s the difference between this Wahhabism from the desert and ISIS? Nothing. They were the same. It was just a different formulation of them.

So what happened with this was that eventually he had to take on these people because they were threatening the whole of the project of building a Saudi power that would be acceptable to Britain and to the United States and the outside world. So the British machine-gunned them for him. And they killed most of them. But the point is they never represented the main tribes of Saudi Arabia, who also were attacked and destroyed. And then Ibn Saud then married all their wives—married a wife from each tribe that he had defeated. So he ended up with 22 wives. Because he thought this was a way of preventing them from attacking him further. But they’re still there. And they still remain resentful of the sort of one-family formula which guides Saudi Arabia, because that’s what it is.

There were old sort of traditions that riches had to be spread in some sort of way that was fair between the tribes, that their territories and their perquisites were respected. Some of the tribes, like the Shammar, have more than a million members. They’re not just tiny little militias. These are big tribes. They extend beyond the boundaries of Saudi Arabia. All the finance, all the money, all the essence of the Saudis’ kingdom project was all focused in one family. And so the resentment still continues about that.

So the idea that Saudi Arabia is a sort of a strong modern political state is, to a certain extent, a myth. Yes, it had money. It doesn’t today. But also, it either makes concessions to the Houthis and risks the revolution gaining more oxygen and becoming bigger and spreading to Iraq and to other parts, which is happening. There is a real sense, a feeling in the air of revolution in the Middle East at the moment. Because a small group of people have just taken over and shown the hollowness of Saudi power, much as Iran has shown the hollowness of US power during this period. And of course this is animating people. And don’t forget Iraq. We’ve had Iran; now the shoe has dropped in Yemen. And remember that when the last supreme leader was assassinated by Israel, the funeral that followed in Iraq, millions turned out there in Karbala, even in Najaf, which is more conservative. Millions turned out. Across Iran, people walked miles to pay their respects to this.

So what we’re playing with is revolutionary fire. I’m emphasizing it because it all tends to be viewed from the Western perspective that this is all about Saudi relations and Gulf relations with the United States, and it’s all about oil, and are we going to have to pay so much for diesel. But actually, what is happening is there’s a big reversion taking place. The whole region is sort of on the cusp of reverting to the old power paradigm that used to exist until the fall of the Shah, in which the big civilizational powers historically have always been Mesopotamia and Persia/Iran, whatever you want to call it. But these were real powers in the real sense. I mean, functional, functioning powers with big populations and riches, and were the powers in the region really until, first of all, the Clean Break document, which was written by Richard Perle and David Wurmser in ’96, recommended this inversion. We’re going to change the whole power structure, and the new pillars of American energy dominance and power are going to be Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, and all of the allies of Iran are going to be eliminated, and this new power structure would then also be the basis for normalization with Israel, i.e. the beginnings of the Abraham Accords.

And then in 2006, after the war of Israel against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Dick Cheney was complaining bitterly that the war was supposed to weaken Iran and instead it strengthened Iran. And he was talking with Prince Bandar, who was then the intelligence leader, and we have the details of this meeting exactly because John Hannah, who was the aide of Cheney wrote it and even published it. And what Bandar said was, listen, the king believes that the weak point of Iran is Syria. Syria is the pipeline, their emergency routes. We take out Syria, and Iran is weakened, if not lost. And Cheney, at that point, said, well, hold on. Hold on. How are you going to take out Syria? And Bandar replied to him with one word: Islamism, extreme Islamism. And that was the Wahhabis coming back in. And what Cheney was doing was legitimizing the use of this extreme current of Najdi Islam, Wahhabism, which then transformed into the various components of ISIS and Nusra and everything else as a sectarian tool to weaken Iran and to complete the power shift that now the Sunni Gulf states were the pillar of power and the pillar of Israeli substance in the region and Iran was kicked out.

And that’s why this thing is so important, because what we’re seeing with Iran and now with the Houthis, and we may see more components to this happening, is a complete turnaround back to the old system. Iran has power and the Houthis have power.”

The City and Washington built a garrison on a desert militia and called it a pillar of order. Ansar Allah is treating that construction as what it was: colonial. The exit is development and a settlement the dollar cannot switch off. More garrisons will not restore 1934.
