Saudi-Arabia - Influence of a 'Decadent Western Culture'

Most recently, rumours spread in the Arab world hinting at a possible deal cut between Saudi crown prince Bin Salman and Israeli PM Netanyahu. Even influential media sources seem to be confused of what is happening in Saudi Arabia and equally pose the same question whether Bin Salman is handing over the land of the two mosques* to the Jews (هل سلموا بلاد الحرمين لليهود), thereby quoting a blatant blasphemic event that should have taken place in Riyadt. It is about some licentious party with half-naked dancers performing in front of a virtual model of the Kaaba.

*) 'land of the two mosques' = 'the city of Mecca'

At the same time, the Saudi regime imprisoned Sheikh Saleh Al-Talib, Imam and preacher at the Grand Mosque in Mecca in the aftermath of his last sermon that criticised the Saudi authorities. Yet there are Muslims in support of Sheikh Saleh, one of them saying that [Religious fight] is saying its word of truth in the presence of an unjust ruler (الجهاد قول كلمه حق عند سلطان جائر), thereby referring to the above mentioned dance party. Another comment on the subject even quoted the Holy Quran (17-16 سورة الإسراء الآية), revoking the destruction of Earth in the biblical Flood.

At least one commentator tries to give a serious explanation of what is happening in Saudi Arabia and what it means to the rather conservative Muslimic population of that country. It's not about light entertainment during the Riyadh festival, but rather about a social explosive:

After Trump's Election Win : Israel Preparing for a Westbank Annexation

The demand of Israel's Minister Smotrich for a Westbank Annexation comes together with Trump's statement that he has already had three conversations with Netanyahu on security issues in the Middle East after he won the US Presidential Election 2024.

Here is an evaluation of a possible 'peace' deal between Trump and Netanyahu, posted on X by some Arab activist:

It is, as well, about an annexation of the Jordan valley by Israel in order to create a new buffer zone for security reasons between Israel and Jordan.

The only border crossing between Israel and Jordan has preserved
its traditional name of Allenby Bridge on the Israeli side, referring to
Edmund Allenby, British commander in Palestine (1917/18). After its
destruction, it was eventually rebuilt and named King Hussein Bridge
on the Jordanian side. The 1974 photo had been taken from the old
pedestrian bridge now left to decay.

US Presidential Election 2024- Prediction Rigged by High-Score Betting -

Polymarket recently showed for the Republican candidate, former President Trump, a significant lead with a win rate of 60 percent; the Democratic candidate, Vice President He Jinli is 40 percent, which is very different from the traditional polls showing the situation of both sides.

Four accounts were reportedly paired with more than $30 million (around RM130 million) to bet on Trump’s big win, prompting speculation as Polymarket does not allow Americans to bet on U.S. elections.

Sources confirmed that Polymarket users are international users, and the company certifies all high-value traders to make sure they are not hiding their country through a VPN.It was not immediately possible to confirm that the four accounts were controlled by the same person or persons.

美国总统大选：大笔资金操纵 — 预测市场上显示特朗普明显领先。 Polymarket投注者目前认为特朗普有65%的胜算，然而博彩和民调的预测不总是正确的。以希拉里·克林顿为例：在2016年大选她在博彩中领先特朗普。整个竞选期间她在预测和博彩网站上保持着优势。在最后几周她的胜算为80-90%。然而她失去大选。

US Presidential Election: Big Money Manipulation – Forecasts in the Market Show Trump Clearly Ahead. Polymarket bettors now believe Trump has a 65% chance of winning, but betting and polling predictions aren’t always right.Take Hillary Clinton, for example: She led Trump in the 2016 election.Throughout the campaign, she maintained an edge on predictions and betting sites.In the last few weeks, her odds were 80-90%. But she lost the election.

Election Carnival: The Backstreet Candidate and His Yemeni Prince

On one assembly of pro-Republican voters where Donald Trump was expected to speeak, some curious guy of Arabic appearance emerged, presenting himself as the 'Prince of Yemen'.

This guy praised the ex-president in an excessive manner and begged him in English to take a group photo with him while cursing him in Arabic.

In reality, he is a comedian making fun of the Republican candidate. His account of @dullaamulla is shown in the video and can be found on Instagram. From there you can book him for any other funny event. His performance as Trump's cheerleader is more convincing than that of the candidate himself.

However, some Arabic users on X didn't understand the irony and seriously discussed the performance of that curious 'Prince' as the ill-mannered behaviour of a Yemeni politician currying favour with Trump in English while insulting him in Arabic.

And there are indeed ill-mannered guys in Yemen who are regularly sinking ships, allegedly related to Israel, with their self-made rockets and who don't even refrain from shooting their missiles in an unsuitable attempt to drown a US aircraft carrier, just to keep the Americans busy.

Obituaries for Hassan Nasrallah

The day after Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air raid that targeted Hezbollah headquarters in a suburb of Beirut, obituaries for Hezbollah’s secretary general appeared on behalf of high-ranking members of different Muslimic communities outside of Lebanon.

Saleh Ashour is a former member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly and represents the Justice and Peace Alliance, a Shia party, as its leader (i.e. Emir of Jamaat-e-Islami). He studied economics and served in the Kuwaiti Air Force before being elected to the National Assembly in 1999. His political agenda is rather progressive and anti-racist; and he supports women’s rights reforms while being simultaneously engaged in philanthropic projects.

In his obituary, dedicated to Hassan Nasrallah, he refers to the fact of Nasrallah’s steadfastness in support of the people of Gaza and the Lebanese people while praising Nasrallah's attitude to refrain from appeasing Israel in the Palestinian question "unlike most Arab leaders and presidents." His influence on the social media can be seen as remarkable, based on 167,000 followers on X.

Even more interesting and unambiguous is what Siraj ul-Haq, a prominent Pakistani politician, writes on his X-account:

„ … now the need of the hour is for the Muslim world to unite and fight and liberate Jerusalem from the clutches of the Jews “.

As to Siraj ul-Haq, he is the Emir of Shia Muslims’ Jamaat-e-Islami in Pakistan and held the office of a Senior Minister in the Pakistani government as well as a Provincial Minister of Finance between 2002 and 2015. From 2015 until 2021 he was a member of the Senate of Pakistan. He gained immense popularity in his support for Imran Khan who became Prime Minister of Pakistan between 2018 and 2022. The number of his followers on X reaches an amazing 1,300,000.

So, when it comes to their influence on the social media, both political and religious leaders quoted here might be able to guide the next generation of jihadists and anti-Zionists on their way to 'liberate' Palestine .....

24 Hours of Hezbollah Shelling Israel

Today, my blogspot provides the information delivered by some Hezbollah near X-account describing Hezbollah operations that were taking place during the last 24 hours.

There are lots of videos showing Israeli sites burning like hell. It's not quite clear whether these videos are really genuine or rather mere Hezbollah propaganda. However, some local sites appear more often in Arabic language posts and, by the way, there must be a result worthy of remark when hundreds of missiles are regularly raining on Israel. Iron Dome counter measures might be efficient but explosive 'waste' will, anyway, continue falling from the sky. In addition, internal migration from heavily shelled areas of Israel has already been officially mentioned as a problem.

Lebanon - Israeli Pager Bombing

Two Updates added on Sept. 19

Only hours after Israel used the wireless pager network to blow up pagers together with their carriers, another wave of bombings targeted other wireless communications devices on Wednesday afternoon, September 18. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health released the information that, this time, 20 persons died and more than 450 were injured. [المنار Hezbollah TV, Lebanon, on September 19]

Pagers used for communications instead of cell phones have been stuffed with explosives in order to detonate them together with their carriers. This is considered to be possible when delivery chains of electronic pager elements are spoilt by some foreign intelligence agency. According to one expert, the pager battery might have been replaced by one that had been prepared with an explosive. Others, like the Chinese commentator who wrote the following article, are considering a more complex manipulation of the pager's motherboard. Some experts could even imagine a special design of the motherboard that should be serving the pre-planned destruction and would need support from specialists of the motherboard's original manufacturer. [凤凰, China on September 19]

As there are different types of pagers that exploded in different places, killing or injuring different kinds of carriers, some of them obviously civilians, this might be seen as an indiscriminate attack trying to hit at least one or another member of Hezbollah.

A simultaneous explosion of 3,000 pagers could possibly be explained by an electronic signal delivered to different locations at the same time. This resulted in overheating of the devices and led to the ignition of a small explosive charge of about 20 g. The Taiwanese distributor Gold-Apollo stated that, even though devices carried their logo, the pagers were produced by a Hungarian company [Source: Deutsche Welle].

I remember having learnt much earlier from the media of a similar handy explosion that killed some "Arab terrorist" on behalf of Israel's security agency Mossad. The incident took place already years ago.

According to official Iranian sources, Iran's ambassador to Lebanon has been injured as well when his pager exploded.

As a result of today's organized attack, different international airlines (Air France, Lufthansa, Swiss Air) cancelled their flights to Ben Gurion / Tel Aviv for the next 48 hours.

The Official Facts:
On 17 September 2024, around 15:30 local time, thousands of handheld pagers used by Hezbollah, a Lebanese political party and militant group, simultaneously exploded across Lebanon and Syria. At least 12 were killed and over 2,750 wounded, including Hezbollah members and civilians.
