The Bahrain regime of the al-Khalifa clan acts toward the people almost like a good Ba’athist regime (Iraqi or Syrian, they probably have hired thugs from both). It says it had already reformed and changed before the uprising. They also said that between 1975 and 2001 when they had stopped having elections, and after that when they started to pretend that they had free elections. Now the regime is saying that perhaps they can have talks on reform, hinting strongly through body language and extended middle fingers and other ways that these talks will not lead anywhere. Then there are the al-Saud overlords, who now have a veto power over any political “settlement”, which means no political settlement as long as Saudi forces are in the country.
They have, however, changed the name of one ministry to “Human Rights Ministry”. In this video here, shown today, they have the famous 20 year old female poet-student Ayat al-Qormezi, whom as arrested and tortured since last March, apologizing on state television, no doubt after another bout of torture. Very reminiscent of the Iraqi Ba’athist regime which used to torture people then display them confessing and/or apologizing on state television.
