Al-Falafel News and the Dubai Buy.
We all know that the Saudi Prince Alwaleed hold a large stock of Al-Falafel News. He is able to manage the news through his stock shares.

Dubai (UAE) has also purchased a sizable share of CNN. Maybe they got the idea after Alwaleed told them it was so easy to get Rupert to change his headlines about the Paris riot (from Muslim to poor.)

So we have two channels that pushed, after 911, for war, vengeance and retribution against all the Arabs, regardless of who or where they were. They have not stopped their 24/7 hate spew. They have been busy convincing Americans that we have to shred our U. S. Constitution because 'Those' people are dirty, evil and not Khristian. They have tapped a vein of bigotry and racism that I thought we were overcoming slowly, but surely.

Racial and ethnic slurs are now a part of the language, and if you object to the terms 'towel head' and 'rag head,' you are attacked. You become the dirty, pinko-commie, fascist liberal, or as I have been told, what is wrong with America.

Now Dubai want to buy six American ports. It's A-Okay, says the Prez. It's all good, says his advisers.

Well, what about the rage and fear that they have been churning, churning, churning for 4-1/2 years? It's now all forgotten?

It is going to be interesting to see how Al-Falafel News and CNN start 'catapulting the propaganda' and convince us all that this is A-Okay.

Is this the beginning?

Will Corporate News desert the politicians of choice to serve their corporate buddies? It is going to be an interesting battle. Everyone should watch this one. I may have to get a barf bag and turn in the head loofahs at Al-Falafel News.

1. You made me laugh about something that isn't funny.
Let's go deeper and find out if we are a province of Saudi Arabia after all. I think our government has sold us out to these kingdoms.

2. Glad I gave you chuckle. But when you think about it, the only
analogy I could think of was FDR trying to convince the American people in 1944 that it would be alright to sell American ports to the Austrians because we were at war with Germany.

To turn this one around, there is going to need to be some heavy PR work. We should watch to see how they do it.
