Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein is a Jordanian Prince, (part of the royal Hashemite family who still rule there), and he would be the Crown Prince of Iraq — the first in line of succession to the the Iraqi throne in Iraq’s British-allied monarchy — had not Iraq’s monarchy been overthrown by an Iraqi general in 1958 who allied Iraq instead with the Soviet Union. So, he as Crown Prince in Iraq is rabidly anti-Russian and pro-U.S. aristocracy (the billionaires who control the U.S.), ever since birth. And that’s not merely because of the Iraqi connection but also because Jordan remains to this day an American vassal-nation, a nation that’s likewise ruled ultimately by America’s aristocracy. Zeid is closely related to the King of Jordan. On 4 December 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush held a joint press conference with King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein at the White House, to thank the King for his leadership of Arabs who were supporting our invasion of Iraq. The royals of both Jordan and Iraq are vassals of the U.S. Government — that is: they do what America’s aristocracy want them to do. (I thank the terrific researcher and editor Patrice Greanville for having pointed out and documented to me the actual relationships Zeid Hussein has with the U.S. Government, and enabling me thus to correct my earlier version of this article, which had mistakenly called Zeid “the Crown Prince of Jordan.”) Jordan remains an American vassal-nation, which, unlike the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia, is not fundamentalist Sunni (Salafist, or Wahhabist), but which is supportive of the wars by America’s masters — by the Sauds, and by Israel’s aristocrats, both of which groups are allied with America’s aristocracy but also partially control the U.S. Government — against Shia Islam, and against the leading Shia-Islam nation, which is Iran. In any event, Jordan’s royal family are agents of the U.S. Government. On 9 December 2012, CNN reported, though only online, that the U.S. was training in Jordan, anti-Assad ‘rebels’. CNN didn’t report that those ‘rebels' were fighting to overthrow and replace Syria’s secular, Russia-allied, and Iran-allied, Government, by a government that would be allied instead with fundamentalist-Sunni Saudi Arabia, and allied with the U.S. Government; but, at least, the CNN online-only news-report did mention, though only in passing, that the U.S. Government was training in Jordan anti-Assad ‘rebels’ (mercenaries — paid for by the Saudi Government, but armed and trained by the U.S. Government). [dropcap]O[/dropcap]n 25 August 2013, the Wall Street Journal bannered "A Veteran Saudi Power Player Works To Build Support to Topple Assad: Officials inside the Central Intelligence Agency knew that Saudi Arabia was serious about toppling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad when the Saudi king named Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud to lead the effort.” The WSJ report said: “Prince Bandar — for two decades one of the most influential deal makers in Washington as Saudi ambassador but who had largely disappeared from public view — is now reprising his role as a geopolitical operator. This time it is to advance the Saudi kingdom's top foreign-policy goal, defeating Syrian President Assad and his Iranian and Hezbollah allies.” The WSJ didn’t mention: Bandar is the person who not only had donated over a million dollars of his own money to help finance Al Qaeda during the lead-up to 9/11, but he and his wife were also, in the months immediately before the attacks, paying at least tens of thousands of dollars directly to the Saudi Embassy personnel who were funding (paying rent and pilot-training for) at least some of the 15 Saudi 9/11 jihadists who were among the 19 jihadists who carried out the 9/11 attacks.

Ever since 1744, the Sauds have been oath-bound to conquer the Shia; and, in recent decades, the Saud family view Shia-controlled Iran to be an “existential” threat: it’s either “us” or “them,” they say. Jordan is 92% Sunni, but the fundamentalist-Sunni theocracy-aristocracy that rules Saudi Arabia refuses to include religious affiliations in its census-data. However, Jordan is more subservient to America’s aristocracy, than to the Saud family. Though this is the case, the Saud family have, in recent decades, had more control over the U.S. aristocracy and Government, than the U.S. aristocracy and Government have had over the Saud family; and, so, Jordan is also strongly anti-Shia.

“But look at how much one needs to know, in order to be able to recognize how much rot there actually is, at the very top — including at BBC, and U.N.” Oh, yes – somehow, there are people who expect the masses would/could know all/such things! And they would, consequently, support change! Right, Mr. Zuesse, the masses don’t even know about the low standards in education, where their own children are set up to fail (not to say “buried”). And I’m not talking about “pedagogy”, I’m talking about the (unqualifybly poor) content of their textbooks, in more than one… Read more »
