I had a meeting with a top person somewhere sensitive in the government yesterday and for some dumbass reason I lost all my reasoning and spilled all the beans.
Among the beans were real rotten ones like my extremely low sense of allegience to this state/kingdom and how I can't stomach anymore of the corruption eating into its bones.
I spoke to him at length about justice and injustice, about how the young - the main asset of the future - are disillusioned and how democracy is not the democracy it should be. I went on and on about all things that hurt and embarrass in this country, siting specific examples and naming names. I put my neck out and all he did was nod and say: I am very proud to be a Bahraini!
It was like I wasted my breath. I made one new enemy - and an influential person to say the least.
What was he proud about: the level of injustice, or double-standards, or discrimination and prejudice? Is he happy with the level of human rights abuses and the fact that hundreds of people will soon be rallying on the streets waving bread and throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes in their call for a minimum standard of living? Is he proud that terrorists go unpunished (see law 56)? Is he happy that people here have no respect for policemen, law makers and the judiciary? Is he thrilled that human rights abuses still take place in Wonderland? And most important, has he ever felt wronged by the system he serves?
I don't know what he is proud about.. but I sure ain't proud about all these atrocities being committed against my people everyday.
To end this on a lighter note, I got this on my e-mail last night. I will share it with you, if the Information Ministry has no objections:
A man dies & goes to hell.
There he finds that there is a different hell for each country and decides he'll pick the least painful tospend his eternity.He goes to the Germany hell & asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour.Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day".
The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on.
He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and manymore. He discovers that they are all similarto the German hell.
Then he comes to the Bahrain hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in...Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour,then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.The Bahrain devil comes in & whips you for the rest of the day.
"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells why are there so many people waiting to get in?" asks the man.
"Because there is never any garanteed supply of electricity so the electric chair is off most of the time.The nails were paid for but were never supplied, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on. And the Bahraini devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for private business!!"

Here's how free the media is in Bahrain. Like little children, journalists have to take permission from mummy and daddy before they open their big mouths and frogs leap out.
This appeared in today's Gulf Daily News:
Reports land journalist in the dock
By MOHAMMED ASLAM
A 52-year-old Bahraini journalist is being prosecuted for allegedly writing for a newspaper abroad without government permission.
He should have had official permission from the Information Ministry, the Lower Criminal Court heard.
The defendant, a journalist for nearly 30 years, is charged with illegally working as a correspondent for a Kuwaiti newspaper.
He admitted at an earlier hearing writing for the Kuwaiti paper, but told the court he had no idea that he needed ministry permission.
The ministry sent a complaint to the public prosecution that the journalist was acting as a correspondent for the newspaper without obtaining official permission.
It said it had repeatedly warned him to stop sending articles abroad without permission.
He has violated the Press and Publication Law of 2002, said the ministry.
The defendant worked illegally as a correspondent for the paper from March 8, 2002 to February 28, 2003, says the prosecution.
He told the court he stopped sending articles abroad for some time when he learned he could be prosecuted if he did not have official permission.
"I asked officials at the Information Ministry about the requirements one needs to practice this profession of becoming a journalist and a correspondent here in Bahrain," he said.
"They told me that they wanted a letter from the editor-in-chief of the Kuwaiti newspaper requesting the Information Ministry to register me as its correspondent in Bahrain."
He said the paper sent the letter as requested and he continued as a correspondent.
The court adjourned the case until September 12, to find out whether the ministry had given permission or not. Read more»»

This appeared in yesterday's GDN.. I will leave it here for the record. It is way too hilarious to ignore:
"Hotel robbers held in swift action
By VINITHA VISWANATH
MANAMA: Two Bahrainis suspected of snatching BD5,000 in cash and cheques worth BD3,000 in a car ambush yesterday, were arrested within three hours of the robbery.
The robbers used swords to attack the Novotel Al Dana Resort driver and his companion off Layali Zaman Cafe on a slip road near Marina Club, as they were on their way to deposit the money at a bank branch, said Criminal Investigation Directorate Acting Director Brigadier Farook Salman Al Maawada.
Bahrainis Yousif Mahmood Ali, 47, and Waleed Mohammed Abdulla, 34, suffered minor injuries in the attack, which happened at about 11.30am, and were treated at Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC).
Raiders reportedly forced them to stop their car, by swerving to a halt in front of them.
They punctured a tyre on the victims' car, smashed its windows, attacked them and then fled with the cash.
Sources said the suspects, in a panic to escape, banged the stolen car against a wall in a lane in Sanad.
The events after the crash unfolded quickly when two men, taken to SMC for treatment, said they suffered burns in a blaze which engulfed their Toyota Camry.
They both admitted the robbery as police pressed them to reveal how the car blaze started.
Witnesses later recognised one of the two suspects who will appear before the General Prosecutor on their release from the hospital.
Police have also recovered the stolen money.
Brigadier Al Maawada urged companies to take necessary measures when transporting money and valuables."
WOW! Well planned...From the look of it Dumb and Dumberer were in Bahrain over the weekend. Read more»»

Liars... that's what we all are.
You see, in Wonderland, everything is perfect. There are only a few people who allow their imaginations to run wild and when they hallucinate, they come up with horrible stories about corruption and abuse of power - which are only found in their sick minds.
They are all a figment of their imagination - a product of a sick mentality which is not ready to deal with the realities of life in Wonderland, where the economy is booming, there is Zero unemployment, there are no corrupt policemen or members of the judiciary, where the people's voice and demands are heard.
Censorship is also a horrible dream, a nightmare, a lie, a fabrication conspired by some sorry soul who has nothing constructive to do in his hallow life.
We are bitter and angry and blogging because of a genetic disease, the result of in-breeding and generations of villagers whose brain cells have been burnt in the scorching sun of Wonderland.
Wonderland is polluted and dirty and dusty and we are to blame for all this because we are lazy and don't want to work on improving our living conditions or preserving our surroundings for the next generations.
Wonderlandis, including myself, are spiteful people. We should thank God and count our blessings for not everyone gets to enjoy the marvels of our parliament and the goof ups of our government.
What can I say about our government, which cares for the orphans, the widowed, the divorced and the unemployed - even in the presence or rather lack of a family law and a social welfare system.
You know perfectly well that there is no discrimination and that secular purges and complaints abour prejudice are excuses made by retards you want to tarnish the reputation of Wonderlandis and embarrass us next time we go to the Swiss Alps to try their cheese and gulp their wine. Read more»»

I have tried to follow what's happening in Geneva with one eye closed and one ear shut and I have failed to understand what's happening ! Usually this isn't a difficult feat for me as I never pay full attention to anything in fear that I may loose what little I have stored in that compartment resting heavily on my shoulders.
Part of me just wanted to ignore the entire episode while the rest of me was kicking me hard to tell me that I should have been there to see the lies, fabrications and distorted tales which will be passed down from one generation to the other in the kingdom where the sun never rises!
I found myself laughing at my thoughts as I was driving home last night, after a long day at work. The United Nations must have found the presentations from Wonderland bewildering - a small country with two factions, two totally different stories and tales of terror and corruption and abuse to no end. It would seem to them that those people came from two different countries, two different worlds, two different planets, in fact.
It will be like an episode in a sitcom where the villagers come to town, fighting over a cow that has long died.
Whatever they try to achieve in Geneva is all lost...It's over because the damage is done and in our spiteful book of a 1001 tales, What's done cannot be undone!
Whether the Geneva meetings with its UN experts find our Wonderland wrong or right, the damage is running deep in the blood of the Wonderlandis - something which will take a lot of sincere effort to take away. Read more»»

It's my hubby's birthday today ;) and instead of giving him a present (which I did), he has decided to reward me too !
Come on everyone...wish my hubby -- my pillar of strength and my one and only for the time-being - if you believe in fortune tellers, that is -- a great birthday!!!
Now I know that blogging about hubby amounts to blasphemy in his book but who cares about what he thinks today. It's only a birthday and I quote: "Birthdays Mean Nothing to a Guy"...so as long as it came straight from the horse's mouth, I will throw all the rules out today.
So how does hubby reward me for putting up with him for SIX years and counting... He decides to spend his entire day and night at work - ON HIS BIRTHDAY. He will return home tomorrow as if nothing has happened. He says, we can celebrate on Sunday or Monday or next weekend... but what he doesn't understand is that it is not the same!
He should have circled that date as well as another dozen dates which are special to US and made sure that work didn't interfere and meddle in our lives. His selflessness when it comes to work and selfishness when it comes to our family is scary...to scary for me to comprehend.
Well, this isn't entirely fair because his job dictates that he spends long long hours at work and I know I am being a bit too silly ... but who cares, he has ruined my day... or has he really ;)
Just think about it... I have the whole day to myself as a reward for being such a good wife! Instead of running around like a headless chicken treating him like royalty, thinking of treats and spoiling him rotten because it is his big day... I just get to do my own stuff and do all the things I can't do when he is around...
It will be a great day - and I will celebrate - whether he is here or not ;)

I hate it.. I hate it from the moment I open my eyes and discover it's daytime.
I hate dragging myself out of bed...on Thursday. I hate coming to work on Thursday... and I hate it more when I have to come to work on Friday. I hate it more and more when I have to force myself out of my bed, out of my home, into my car and to my office from Saturday to Thursday.
I am a spiteful person, full of hate and venom and there is nothing I can do about it. This is final and I will entertain no discussions. I can't be right and the whole world wrong and I will tell you why.
I don't know why I get offended when nobody else gives a toss. I don't know why I get insulted when people are unprofessional and have no work ethics. I don't know why it gets to me when human beings lack self-respect, when the feelings of pride and dedication have no place in their lives.
I hate it when I am the first person at work and all the phones are ringing and there is no one to answer them. I hate it when people start staggering into the office one after the other with no respect for themselves or others they work for - and without an apology.
How can they justify coming to work late every morning and then expect their bloody salaries on time.
Don't get me wrong - despite everything I love my job... but it's only the bloody attitude of unprofessional unreliable individuals that makes any office in "Wonderland" a nightmare to run.
"Wonderlandis" have a casual attitude towards work, says a new comer to Wonderland.
"Wonderlandis" don't want to work.
"Wonderlandis" take the day off when their neighbours cat is in labour.
No wonder Wonderland is taking one step forwards and 10 backwards!

You know what? I really am a silly silly girl..and I don't need to tell you why!
I just finished writing this fabulous piece, which made me go "wow! am I good or I am good or what!" about Law 56 - my first attempt at being serious on this blog and guess what! Another Batelco glitch with the internet and all the fruits of my labour vanishing forever!
You know how those gems of thoughts are difficult to come through in the middle of a busy day and thanks to Batelco, they have forever gone now!
Anyway, here's my comeback: The following was published on the front page of the Gulf Daily News today:
Fine threat to Batelco 'for helping customers'
MANAMA: Batelco is facing a possible BD15,000 fine for giving Speednet customers a 50 per cent rebate following lengthy interruptions to the service in January.
It has been warned that it faces the fine in a letter from Bahrain's Telecommunica-tions Regulatory Authority (TRA), for allegedly breaching market regulations.
"We have a letter from the TRA proposing to fine us," said Batelco chief executive officer Tony Hart.
Sources said Batelco would fight any move to fine it for allegedly dropping Internet prices without TRA permission.
"The simple facts are that our service was unavoidably faulty for a large proportion of January and we decided that it was only fair to give our customers a 50pc rebate as a one-off act of compensation," says an unnamed Batelco source.
"Customers did not get what they had paid for during that period and that is not good business for us.
"Clearly, we'd much rather provide a perfect - or near perfect - service and continue to satisfy customers' wishes for fast, easy, reliable Internet connectivity.
"Doesn't the TRA want Batelco to offer its customers a fair service?"
The TRA said no final decision had been made and so it could not comment further.
"The TRA will only comment on its final decisions that are made public. If there is an order, then once we publish it we will comment, as we do with all of our other orders," said communications and consumer affairs director Daneh Alrayes.
"We state who is effected by the orders, what led to this order and it will be available for everyone to access on our website (www.tra.org.bh), so we make no room for any speculation."
-----------------------
And you know what I think:
Batelco should be fined and should also be forced to slash its costs. The buggers have been ripping us off for as long as I can remember. It is time someone/thing showed them their real place.
For the shoddy service they provide, they should be punished over and over again.
Why are we all keeping quiet and accepting such interrupted services in a country which wants to place itself as the regional hub of everything imaginable?
We want to claim the title of regional communications hub? regional business hub? regional training hub? Dream on.
Should we be content with the title of regional hub of all hubs, we should make sure we are connected with the rest of the world and able to communicate instead of having our hands tied and our Internet service like it was in the 90s.
Batelco... please please wake up and smell the fish... It stinks and so does your bloody service and so does the unconstitutional parliament which isn't mature enough to discuss Law 56 and so is this joke called national unity and the one-family spirit in a society torn apart by discrimination and double standards from the minute you are born to the time you are buried six foot under!

Here's a silly one:
A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work.
One wet and lusty day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway.
"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!" "I can't jump out the window ~ It's raining out there!"
"If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied.
He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!"
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window!
As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked.
"Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air.
"It feels so wonderfully free!"
Another runner moved a long side.
"Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?"
"Oh , yes" our friend answered breathlessly. "That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!"
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried, "Do you always wear a condom when you run? "
"Nope.........just when it's raining"

Today's is World Press Freedom Day, another meaningless tasteless day in our part of the world.
It is a black day, a real real dark day for people with any decency as journalism in my country - the country I dare not mention on the www in fear of being fed to the wolves - is far from being free.
It is a shame that I have to anonymously blog this like a coward because I dare not put my name to it in fear of repurcussions.
It is a shame that the freedom of Press is bought and sold on the open market and standards and ethics change everyday, depending on personal whims.
It is heart breaking that our Press is not the voice of the voiceless but the glamour galore of the high and mighty.
It is sad that newspapers have no power, no cause and no respect in our societies.
It is a shame I cannot say more for I am censored, censored and censored! Read more»»

فيعلن لحضوره بين الفتيات والشباب لتجمعهم للحفاوة به في مجمع الوليد بن طلال المملكة فيأتي ومعه 10 من المتخنثين معه ليعلن فجوره على الملأ فنهق له الحمير وزعق له الغربان .
منظر تقشعر منه أبدان المؤمنين .. تجمع للساقطين لأستقبال بطلهم الماجن الذي لم يخجل أن يعيش بين الساقطات شهرين كاملة !!! يقول الله عز وجل : ( وإذا أردنا أن نهلك قرية أمرنا مترفيها ففسقوا فيها فحق عليها القول فدمرناها تدميرا ) اللهم لا تؤاخذنا بما فعل السفهاء منا
حتى قيظ الله سبحانه اسود الليل أعضاء هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر يقدمهم صاحب السمو الملكي فضيلة الشيخ خالد بن طلال
ليصعقه بكلام الله وكلام رسوله وينزل عليه غضبه ويشف صدور الغيورين منه
ويقدم أحد عساكر هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر بإلقاء القبض عليه وكلبشته أمام الناس الرجال والنساء فقاوم ولكنه لم يستطع فمزقت بدلته وقطع أزرارها
وحمل حمل الكلاب إلى مركز هيئة المملكة وكان بانتظاره رئيس هيئة الرياض والآمر المناوب وتجمعت فرق هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر من كل مكان ومنعوا الناس من الدخول إلى المملكة وحققوا في الموضوع وكانت هيئة العليا في التغطية الخارجية للمجمع وبقية 5 مراكز حولهم .
وتمركزت جميع الفرق والأجهزة الأمنية الأخرى رهن أمر أعضاء هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر منظر مهيب وسيارات هيئة الامر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر تداهم المجمع وتسكر منافذه .
اتصل بعد ذلك بصاحب السمو الملكي الأمير سلمان وشرح له الوضع والذي هو بدوره شكر أعضاء الهيئة على تفانيهم في العمل وأمر بتوجيه المتخنث هشام إلى مطار الملك خالد بالرياض وطرده من الرياض إلى جدة مباشرة .
فاللهم لك الحمد والشكر . على هذه المواقف المشرفة .
ولكن!
لا تكفي فنحن نطالب بإحالته للقضاء الشرعي وتحديد عقابه شرعاً وتنفيذ ذلك كذلك النظر لكل من شجعه بالعقوبة الصارمة كالوليد بن طلال هذا وغيره.
والله يحفظكم ويرعاكم
لذا أخي لا تتردد بإرسال إنكارك
كما لا تتردد بتشجيع إخوانك في هيئة العليا والمملكة على مواقفهم
وقد اتصلت على هيئة الامر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر-فرع العليا 4648028 وقد اكد ماوقع لكن ليس بهذه المبالغة وانما فعلا كان الاجتماع في المملكة بين سبعين فتاة منهن من تقبله ومنهن من تصور معه وقد تم القبض عليه وحصل بعض الضجة لكن الحمدلله تم السيطرة على الامر والاتصال بالامير سلمان وامر وفقه الله باعادته الى جدة وشارك مع الهيئة الامير خالد بن طلال وفقه الله
ويبقى علينا الاتصال بالعلماء وانكار هذا الامر ويتعين على اهل جدةالايتكرر ماحدث من الابتهاج والاستقبال بالحفاوة كما حدث عند وصوله في المطار. والله الموفق والهادي الى سواء السبيل اخوكم/ خالد الوهيبي

فيأتي هذا المتخنث أكرمكم الله ليتفاخر و يأتي الوليد بن طلال لتكريمه ووعده بإقامة فلم خاص به تشجيعاً للعهر والفساد في هذه البلاد فينقله بطائرة خاصة من بيروت إلى جده ويستقبله ما يقارب من 10000 ساقط وساقطة كما أعلنت الوطن ذلك

It's Labour Day today...
I suppose the celebrations defeat the purpose, because as a silly hard worker I am at work today, toiling and sweating, working on endless rubbish, which I think I will continue to do - unless of course I drop dead, we are nuked, or a miracle happens.
For me, the only miracle would be a bundle of joy, brought to me by a bird (forgot which one), who will drop the bundle at me one day, in the forseeable future.
Forgot this last wish, it is the mumblings of a lunatic.
Back to labour day...
I was talking to my friend Dana (who was at the office too) on the phone and silly me wished her a happy Labour Day and she said: Why are you in the office?
Dana, why are you in the office too?
Because it is Labour Day and all labourers like us are destined to be in LABOUR 365 days a year!
Have a good day! Read more»»
