First Saudi Lady joins the 'ID Revolution'

Saturday, 12 April 2014 09:24


The first Saudi lady joined the "ID Revolution" in which a number of Saudi citizens posted separately posts in YouTube attacking the regime. The following is a translation of the clip posted on Youtube by a lady calling herself Ali'niziyah (From the tribe of '):

English translation of the video below.



In the name of God. Praise be to god and peace of God and His Prayers be upon the Messenger of God. Praise be to God, Praise be to Gad, Praise be to God until Praise reaches Him. I have been extremely delighted as I followed the recordings made by the young men of the land of the two Shrines, with such courage and boldness, in which they uttered the word of truth without hesitation or flattery. Each time someone spoke his wordswere stronger than his predecessor in terms of meaning, clarity and defiance of oppression. I hereby, in turn, join them and say the following:

First, I begin with expressing support for these young men and commending them for speaking the truth out. Frankly, I had been concerned about our country because those who spoke the truth in it were few and they had already been held in the prisons. Yet, here they are competing to speak the truth without fearing the wrath of the oppressor or his prisons or the courts of oppression and tyranny.

I would not add much if I were to talk about unemployment, poverty, housing problems, the loss of rights, bad services, fees, penalties (for violations), and inflation, etc. All the people know that this is the reality.

Whoever says anything to the contrary knows he is lying, is a hypocrite and is simply paying lip service to those in authority.

Nor would I be adding much if I said that whoever speaks out the truth will be imprisoned and tortured and his reputation will be smeared.

Nor would I be adding much if I said that the judiciary is corrupt and is being manipulated by the princes so as to enable them to rob people of their rights and is being manipulated by the authority so as to inflict its punishment on whoever it wishes in the name of religion.

Nor would I be adding much if I were to say that the country is full of financial corruption, administrative corruption, red tape, nepotism and illusionary projects that wasted billions, even trillions, to no avail.

Nor would I be adding anything new if I were to say that the country is full of immorality, crime and drugs.

However, I might be adding (new things) by saying that those who stand behind all of this corruption, oppression and manipulation of religion are the House of Saud.

Until when shall we continue to fool ourselves and blame it all on the entourage? By God Almighty, those who accuse the entourage know well that the House of Saud are behind all of this. Yet, they continue to do this putt of tuqyah (knowing that what they conceal contradicts what they reveal).

I tell you, believe me, that the talk about the entourage in this way only serves to protect and vindicate the oppressor. I would not rule out the possibility, I would even say it firmly, that the oppressor is happy to see the blame put squarely on the entourage. It is possible, even surely, that it is the oppressor that propagates and spreads this idea believing that such talk would contain people's anger and frustration.

This, indeed, is what is happening. Whenever you sit in the presence of a group of people you hear them blaming it on the entourage, although they know real well that it is the oppressive House of Saudi that stand behind all of this and not the entourage. The entourage goes and comes while the House of Saud is always there (going nowhere).

The real issue is that we should declare it for all to hear: the problem lies with you, House of Saud. There is no solution to our disasters, catastrophes and the decline of our country except your departure. That is it. There is no other solution.

Those who care have been cautioning you for more than twenty years but the situation only continued to deteriorate. And now, where are those who cared? They are all inside prison.

Therefore, there is no solution except that you can effect yourselves, O people of the peninsula.

Prior to these recordings I was sad that our people had not moved like the rest of the peoples (in the region). But after the recordings (started appearing) I came to the conclusion that the matter is drawing close.

You, young men of the land of the two Shrines, who have earned testimony from the arenas of heroism across the globe, in that you were the first to take part and the bravest among those who took part (in Jihad) everywhere, it is time you are testified for by your own homeland.

It is time the land of the Peninsula testified for you and your heroic acts. You should get ready to move whether by means of making recordings like these or through other means. You are all obliged, religiously, to make a move. The saying of the Prophet Peace be upon him "who he sees an evil should endeavour to remove it" applies to all. It does apply to all without exception and no one is excused. Do not hesitate.

Do not hesitate at all. An action of this sort is categorised in the highest ranks of jihad. Seek help from God and have trust in his. "Whoever places his trust in God, God is enough for him".

I am optimistic that (we shall see) hundreds, even thousands, of recordings (made and published). May God provide victory or some other (success). He is most capable.

May the peace and mercy of God be upon you

* Many people in Saudi Arabia are sick and tired of the Saudi regime and the Saud tribe that rule the country.


* The Saudi regime deal with everything in a brutal manner.

- They have around 30,000 - 40,000 political prisoners in jail.
- They have passed "anti-terrorism" laws whereby if you even say something bad about Saudi Arabia the country you are a "terrorist".
- On defence.pk, a high-level Saudi regime official and thug called "Yzd Khalifa" has been trying to intimidate and scare people by saying the Saudi regime may press lawsuits against people who call Bandar a terrorist etc.


However what about Yzd Khalifa openly threatening the Russians on that forum with terrorist attacks?

What about Yzd Khalifa celebrating the beheading of executed Iranian women in Saudi?

What about the fact that Saudis regularly call the Iranians terrorists? Will the Iranians press a lawsuit against them?

Once the Saudis file a lawsuit against someone then:

a: They will open the doors to many others filing lawsuits against them.
b: They will earn even greater notoriety as fanatics who cannot tolerate any disagreement with their opinions.

Rather than people being scared or silenced in to submission, there will be thousands more Youtube videos and internet articles condemning the Saudi regime.

In the west you can openly criticize the head of government and no one will kill you, imprison you etc unlike in Saudi Arabia where they have imprisoned people simply for criticizing the state.

9-11 families can sue Saudi Arabia, court rules

BY LARRY NEUMEISTER, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A federal appeals court on Thursday reinstated Saudi Arabia as a defendant in lawsuits claiming it provided support to al-Qaeda before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said restoring Saudi Arabia was necessary to be consistent with a ruling by a different 2nd Circuit panel that allowed another lawsuit to go forward in which a man sued Afghanistan and other defendants for the death of his wife in the Sept. 11 attacks.

The 2nd Circuit and a lower court had previously ruled that Saudi Arabia was protected by sovereign immunity, which generally means that foreign countries can't be sued in American courts. But in its latest ruling, the 2nd Circuit said a legal exception existed that would allow Saudi Arabia to remain as a defendant, just as Afghanistan remained in the similar case.

"The procedural history of this case produced inconsistent results between two sets of plaintiffs suing for damages based on the same incident," the appeals court said in a decision written by Circuit Judge Chester J. Straub. "We conclude that the circumstances here are 'extraordinary' and warrant relief."

An attorney representing Saudi Arabia said the panel's decision is "contrary to settled law" and will only result in a lower court throwing the case out for other reasons. The attorney cited the dismissal of identical allegations against other Saudi government agencies that the 2nd Circuit itself already upheld.

"It is extremely unfortunate and burdensome that a sovereign nation and ally of the United States will continue to have to litigate this matter more than 10 years after it was filed," attorney Michael Kellogg said.

The lawsuits were brought in 2002 and afterward against countries, companies and organizations accused of aiding al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. They sought billions of dollars in damages.

In the lawsuits, lawyers argued that the Sept. 11 attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people, had been planned for years by a network of Islamic militants with the assistance of banks, governments and individuals.

Lawyers in the Sept. 11 cases have frequently cited the report by the Sept. 11 Commission. Lawyers for the plaintiffs have said the commission supported their argument that Saudi Arabia had long been considered the primary source of al-Qaida funding, while lawyers for Saudi Arabia have argued that the commission found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded al-Qaida.

Kellogg said the panel's decision has nothing to do with the merits of the plaintiffs' claims.

"The government of Saudi Arabia has long asserted, and the United States 9/11 Commission has found, that those allegations are categorically false," Kellogg said.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs called Thursday's ruling "an eminently correct decision which brings these defendants back into the case and may finally give the 9/11 victims their day in court."

"We are confident in our ability to prove our case against them," attorney Stephen Cozen said in an email.

I wish more countries would try criminals in absentia, when it’s obvious they have avoided prosecution.”

As of 2014 the Prince is said to be living in Saudi Arabia, Taking advantage of the fact there is no extradition treaty between Saudi Arabia and the USA or Saudi Arabia and France.

“Because of that we have to catch a break in order to catch him,” said former Drug Enforcement Administration official Tom Raffanello

*Saudi regime thugs like "Yzd Khalifa" should stop trying to bully, silence people on the internet from criticizing their regime, but instead worry about what will happen to them if they keep on destabilizing other countries and supporting radical groups.



As for the ID videos, it started off a little while ago with one Saudi man making a short video on poor quality colloquial Arabic (ammiyah) criticizing the Saudi regime. He was then naturally arrested and then others copied him, who too were arrested.

The lady in the article at the beginning of this thread has joined them in this protest.


I do not know if she has been arrested or imprisoned yet.
