MoroccoThe feudal rulers of the UAE and Morocco have been staunch 'mafia-fascist' allies of the USA, NATO and Israel.
But the USA, NATO and Israel often dump their staunchest allies.
TangierOn 17 March 2012, The Economist reports on Whispers of dissent in the UAE and Power in Morocco e
The rulers of the UAE are worried about the growing power of the CIA's Muslim Brotherhood and the CIA-backed 'liberals'.
Nasser Bin Ghaith, an economist, has been in trouble for criticising the lack of reform in the UAE.
Bin Ghaith "is particularly scathing about the economic model that Dubai and Abu Dhabi have followed, which he says is based on property speculation and corruption."
MoroccoMeanwhile in Morocco, the King is in trouble.
A new book, Le Roi Prédateur -The Predator King, published in France, describes how the King of Morocco, Mohammad VI, has quintupled his wealth in his 11 years on the throne.
The king and his cronies own a very large part of the economy.
The king's forces continue to knock down the hovels of the poor.
The security forces have begun demolishing some of an estimated 44,000 shanty town homes built illegally over the past year by poor Moroccans. (Power in Morocco) e
Welcome to MoroccoIn the rural areas, deep poverty and deep discontent have led to clashes with the government forces. (Power in Morocco) e
"Curfews, water-cannon and arrests have failed to prevent clashes from engulfing two northern towns.
"Protests over utility prices are acquiring a secessionist edge."
The King of Morocco and Clinton"A looming drought will only make matters worse."
The economy is deteriorating.
The return of thousands of jobless workers from Europe and Libya has made things worse.
Crime is rising. (Power in Morocco e)
MoroccanMorocco's new Islamist prime minister, Abdelilah Benkirane, was recently stopped by a mob of angry graduates demanding jobs.
“We voted for you, and you send the police to beat and arrest us,” they shouted.
“The switch in power is of people not policies,” complains a trade unionist. “Nothing will change.”
Benkirane’s coalition is full of ministers from the previous government he has previously criticised for nepotism and waste. (Power in Morocco )e

1993: In what may be one of the most heinous examples of police corruption and cover-up, Haj Muhammad Mustapha Tabet, a 54-year-old police chief of Morocco, was charged with rape, deflowering virgins, inciting debauchery, abduction, and assault of 518 women in his flat over a seven-year period. Tabet secretly recorded the encounters on some 118 videotapes, said to be "not only pornographic but also horror films." His supervisor and ten other senior police officers were also charged with obstruction of justice and destroying evidence.
At his trial Tabet, who was married with two wives and five children, claimed that the women were willing sexual partners. He suffered from sexual obsessions, he said, and claimed to have had sex with 1,600 women in the past three years. The court didn't buy it. On March 15, 1993 he was found guilty on all charges, and sentenced to death. Five months later he was executed before a firing squad. Tabet got off relatively easy: had he been tried under Islamic law, as many were calling for in the predominately Muslim country, he would have faced either crucifixion or being stoned to death.

I have personally been to Dubai three times. The entire place is based on two things:
1) Rampant speculation in real estate;
2) Horrific exploitation of foreign guest workers, living under horrible conditions, their passports taken from them and paid pennies.
Dubai is not what the outside world thinks people, beieve me on that.
attack on Iran,
I appreciate your personal report.
I, as an American, while knowing America is far from ideal, am worried that what you report of Dubai, is what is in store for America, which up until the last decade, was primarily a middle class nation -- at least that's where our politics were, obstensively. (Yes, I'm well aware that the reality of power is quite different with the corporate/Globalist/Zionists exercising huge power & control, but at least "tipping the hat" to the middle class. This 'hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue.')
But I fear America is not too far from a state of affairs where the mask is pulled off and our society looks much like Dubai.
Aang,
maybe you should have mentioned, as previously done, that André Azoulay and his tribe are certainly very much in charge in Marocco, even if this fact is never brought up in MSM..
