dear Arab Times


I am writing to you to point to the sad and miserable state of affairs in Jordan with the additional degeneration of the quality of the members of the circle of power in the Country.

Look at the pillars of the Royal Court!! who do we have there?

1-Faysal Fayez: The Chief of the Royal Court, who has managed to transform the Royal Court into a private family enterprise, by appointing in the Royal Court, At least seven incompetent family members and cousins of his from the paternal and maternal side. Those seven are inept and deficient individuals. He appointed his cousins Amer Talal Fayez, Amer Tard Fayez. Hussein Mansour Fayez, Yasmine Kheir and his son Ghaith Faysal Fayez in addition to two other distant cousins in key positions in the Royal Palace. This is to add to the fact that he infested the governmnet with appointments of relatives of his like the pimp Saleem Kheir and the Corrupt Nidal Hadeed, who are both His Cousins. Faysal Fayez has inflicted immense damage on Jordan after his ascendancy to key positions in the Royal Court and then into the position of Prime Minister. From a pennyless gambler and whore chaser, he turned into a Millionaire who ownes a house in the Spanish Rivierra.

2- "Marshal" Saad Kheir the King's National Security Adviser, who is another cousin of Faysal Fayez and former Director of intelligence. this man again propelled his relatives into positions of power unjustly. He consolidated the position of Saleem Kheir as the strong man in the Prime Ministry He appointed another cousin, Hussein Kheir as Director of Jordan's Information office in London after this individual had just a few years ago sought political asylum in France while serving as a Jordanian Diplomat in Paris. Instead of being punished, he ended up as director of Jordan information office in London. And it gets better, he drove the office bankrupt and indebted with huge sums of money.

3- "General"Maruf Bakheet, who is the rising star now. This individual epitomizes corruption and pettiness. He had driven the Peace Coordination office at the Ministry of Foreign Affaires Penniless when he had headed that office by sepending all the money of the office on his whims, alcohlism and prostitute chasing. He personally begged the Israeli, David Ifri, to ask the King to appoint him(Maruf) as Ambassador to Israel. This man is as corrupt as it can get and he his gaining more power in the circles of power in Jordan and in the Royal Court. It is rumored that he has strong bisexual tendencies and he is indeed an alcoholic. His first and formost loyalty is to himself and then to ISRAEL.

I cannot imagine how worst could this get? I can only wish and pray that god protects Jordan and bestow upon the King the wisdon of seeing through those corrupt figures who are consuming the capital of the king himself now and tarnishsing his image along with others like Bassem Awadhallah, Nadia Saeed, Suhair Ali and the Majali family.

Best
