To-day I did disaster and recovered. I often do disaster but usually do not recover as well or so quickly given what has happened.
It is just before six in the evening and I will watch TV news and become angry again, write as much as I can until I have achieved a Blog for yesterday and the continue with one for today until I am too tired to go on or something else gain my greater attention.
I am angry about the death of a second child in the London Borough of Harringey within ten years. I became even angrier by the response of the Prime Minister on behalf of the government during Prime Minister's Ministers Question. I will write about this tomorrow.
I also became sad angry later in the evening after watching the Kingdom
These two subjects, the 5th programme in the Spooks series. I write about these subjects and others much less significant until I felt like sleep and went to bed about 2am
I had an exceptionally long period of sleep almost eight hours although there were two brief gettings up and then switched the computer on and made myself a cup of coffee, with plans to check the Blog and publish, do some 101.75 work I returned to find the desk top had crashed. I knew where the recovery disk was, gritted my teeth and went ahead, knowing that it would clear the hard drive of data records. I then needed to find the most up to date copy of word processing and spreadsheet programmes and for half an hour searched before remembering where I placed them for such an emergency.
However the amount of data which was not backed up is mind boggling in terms of the amount of time it will take to replace from manual records and documents I will not attempt to do it all at once but between now and the new year.
I was also able to get on line but not in way as before, not being able to save web sites was one example. However worse was to follow when installinging a yahoo toolbar the internet front page filled the screen with no closure button or lower tool bar and another couple of hours later the problem had remained. It was going to be one of those days and I was not wrong.
I tried everything from system restore to a second recovery and the various internet options and then I notice a message to download Firefox and this has provided a better position than ever before with a top row of one click links to all my regular sites from e mail to My space, Wikipedia and Amazon so some good has come to mark an otherwise wasted day. However I am not able to print out information from the internet from the desk top and will leave this problem to another day
I also begin remembering what was written and lost overnight with a trivial subject except for one friend who I promised to explain my description of my mobile waste disposal receptacle as a Wheelie Bin. From the greater part of my childhood and adult life the receptacle was a circular metal container called a dustbin. The dust in question was the residue of burning coals and sometimes the ash was put in warm. The bins were dragged from the back of the house to the front and refuse collectors, then known as bin men would lift them on their backs an empty them into the refuse collection vehicle. The Wheelie bin in the UK or MGB in the USA- Mobile Garbage Bin is made from moulded plastic and four sided with wheels. Refuse collection vehicles also developed lifting gear so all the householder has to do is wheel them to the collection point, the refuse collection man wheel them to the vehicle and the vehicles lifting gear empty the stuff into the compressing machine.
Saudi Arabia is one of the most ruthless autocratic and powerful countries in the world with 22 million people of Arab homeland origin and over 5 million foreign although a percentage of these are also of Arab origin. The constitution is formed from the Qur'an and the law is of the Sharia with an independent police force to enforce strict adherence with the harshest of penalties from execution to severance of limbs and long periods of harsh prison conditions. The country only abolished slavery in 1962 and in the 1950 there were reported to be nearly half a million people the property of their owners. Under the Law men have control over their wives as well as their children. There is one King and about 5000 princes living in palaces with their own security force.
This is one of the most extensive military states in the world. The army, Air Force, Navy and Air defence are concerned with the external threat. Internally there us the National Guard, the Royal Guard, the General Intelligence, the Military Police and the Saudi Lightening Force. The Ministry of the Interior controls the Police who are a branch of the military, the Boarder Guards and the Coastal Guards, then there is the Al-Mujadoon and the Saudi Emergency Force Military Branches.
The state is paternalistic with a welfare state but this is said to be dependent upon the price of oil being high, The Government also allocates considerable funds in aid to other Arab countries and Muslim causes. The family income of its population is said to be among the highest of Arabic speaking nations.
There are 100000 Westerners living in highly fortified compounds. In June 1996 there is what is now believed to have been an al- Qaida terrorist group of the Hizballah Al-Hijaz Party killed 19 US soldiers and one Saudi and 372 of various nationalities were injured. The bomb is estimated to have had the effect of some 20000 and 30000 pounds of TNT. At one time there was a belief that the attack had been sponsored at the highest levels in Iran. The purpose was to force US troops from Saudi soil.
In 2003 35 people were killed and 160 wounded in a Saudi terrorist attack on Western compounds, spraying bullets indiscriminately on one compound from one of the two vehicles carrying assault troops. There were three vehicles full of explosives aimed at three compounds. Later that year there was a further bombing atrocity in Saudi Arabia killing 18 people and wounding 11, a mixture of Saudi's and other nations were involved including 9 from the U S and 2 form the U.K.
The film the Kingdom brings these two attacks together, presenting the Saudi Princes as living separately lives from their people, genuinely hospital and sympathetic to foreigners and willing to get things if convinced that bit is their own and the national interest. The film also shows the State department of being, ineffectual because of US dependency on Saudi Oil and its only through the insistence of the staff of the FBI that any kind of investigatory team is allowed first into then country and then to being able to undertaken an investigation. A senior military figure and his men are shown to have been complicit in the outrage but the liaison police office is also shown to been determined to uncover what happened and prosecute the perpetrators, giving his own life in the process. The team with the help of the police officer find that he organiser and bomb maker a much lover grand parent, that his son has become a ruthless killer and they involve the son/and grand son in watching the horrors take place, and pressing the boy to continue the crusade against the infidels.
The basis story outline had a ring of truth but what upset me was the graphic depiction of the slaughter of women and their children. The point of the film is that the FBI along with the Marines have a tradition of not just bringing their men and women home but of pursing those responsible and bringing them to some form of justice.
There has been no justice so far for one unnamed baby, ruthlessly, methodically, slaughtered by his immediate carers 15th months ago and where the evidence so far is at least of Ministerial incompetence and complacency, and possibly intentional cover up on the part of some interests, both political and managerial. Until to day and the British media and the leader of the Opposition, David Cameron no one was speaking for this Child. Good for you David
