Western media shields the dictators in Sunni lands OR Did you know about the ongoing revolution in Saudi Arabia ???

Of course you didn't.  How would you when the idiot box pushes the news under the carpet and the usual MSM we read on the net don't bother to tell you? There are well-organized protest marches and a  revolution going on in Saudi Arabia, a revolution that the numerous PR firms employed by the House of Saud are working overtime to deflect your attention from that reality to anything and everything else.

Check out the opposition to the House of Saud here,   and here and   here.  
This is a revolution that we in the West should be supporting but sadly never will.  Why?  Because, at this time in history we have decided to be against Iran and as such all Shiites are deemed to be supporters of the Iranian regime.

 Against the backdrop of ongoing simmering   dissent in the Arab world, growing unrest in Saudi Arabia, in contrast, has gone virtually unnoticed.  In a climate of increasing political openness, popular Arab demands for the fall of longtime dictatorships have served as vehicles for airing deeply embedded resentments. In this context, narrow segments of Arab societies that have traditionally been subject to targeted discrimination, including ethnic and religious minorities, have become encouraged to articulate their grievances.  The mobilization of Saudi Arabia’s Shi’a Muslim minority in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province (al-Mintaqah al-Sharqiyah) since 2011 and the resulting crackdown by Saudi security forces attests to the fact that the Kingdom is not impervious to the kind of unrest being seen in fellow Arab countries (al-Jazeera [Doha], July 28).

The fallout from the July 8 arrest of Sheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr on charges of sedition by Saudi security forces is demonstrative of the sectarian tensions percolating inside the reclusive Kingdom and the broader geopolitical currents driving Saudi behavior. Al-Nimr, a prominent Shi’a cleric and outspoken critic of the Saudi royal family and the regime’s persecution of its Shi’a citizens, was reportedly shot in the leg during his arrest while driving near his home in the village of al-Awamiyah in Eastern Province. Al-Nimr, who is regarded as the spiritual leader of Saudi Arabia’s Shi’a community, remains in Saudi custody at a military hospital where, according to members of his family, he has endured torture. Al-Nimr has since gone on a hunger strike to protest his detention (al-Akhbar [Beirut], July 12; Press TV [Tehran], July 19). The sheikh’s arrest has sparked protests across Eastern Province, including in Qatif, al-Awamiyah, al-Hasa, and Safwa.

The protesters are demanding justice and equality, the release of all political prisoners, and the initiation of political reforms in the Kingdom.  Demonstrators have also called for the Saudi royal family to step down (Press TV, August 1). Saudi security forces have used live fire and other repressive tactics to suppress the protests, killing and injuring a number of demonstrators in the process.  Scores of protesters have also been detained throughout Eastern Province (al-Jazeera, July 28). The Saudi regime has blockaded major centers of dissent such as Qatif and other locations to collectively punish residents by inhibiting freedom of movement and economic activity (Jadaliyya, June 21)......
