#Greed and Corruption

Attention, this is not a joke but a killing joke,

Saudi Arabia takes over chairmanship of UN Commission on the Status of Women - human rights activists appalled.

Louis Charbonneau of Human Rights Watch made it clear on X (formerly Twitter): "Saudi Arabia's election to head the UN Commission on the Status of Women shows a shocking disregard for women's rights everywhere." A country that already imprisons women for fighting for women's rights has no right to such a post, Charbonneau continued.

He also criticised the other countries in the Commission for not preventing the change. "If everyone had stood up straight, this wouldn't have happened. But everyone kept quiet."

How can something like this go so wrong?

Abdulaziz Alwasil, Saudi Arabia's UN envoy, will be the chairman. According to the Guardian, none of the envoys from 45 countries raised any objections to his nomination at the CSW's annual meeting. There were also no opposing candidates.

The Philippines actually held the chairmanship for two years. However, other members from Asia had urged the country to hand over the seat after one year. Bangladesh had actually been intended as the successor, but instead Saudi Arabia pushed its way to the top with a lot of lobbying.

Let's put it plainly: everyone has let themselves be bought by a world of greed and corruption! That's what the nice, generous Saudis love. They simply buy influence and culture, football, golf, ...... pukes sorry

Saudi Arabia is trying to polish up its image to the outside world with reforms such as allowing women to drive.

What a charade, makeup on the ugly face of the unjust state.

Hooray, the goat has been declared a garden.

And they are about to prove to the saudis what they think of women's rights.

Completely nothing

Case: Manahil al-Utaibi

Fitness trainer faces eleven years in prison in Saudi Arabia

There have been some makeup reforms in Saudi Arabia recently. The country wants to appear cosmopolitan. At the same time, critics are silenced with long prison sentences. The case of a young fitness trainer is apparently no exception.

According to human rights activists, a female activist in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to eleven years in prison for her choice of clothing and support for women's rights. Manahil al-Utaibi was sentenced in January - more than a year after her arrest - by a special court for terrorism, the organisation Amnesty International announced on Tuesday evening.

The accusations against the 29-year-old fitness trainer related to her clothing and her calls on social networks to end the male guardianship system in the kingdom. She had also published videos of herself without the traditional Abaja overdress.

Saudi Arabia's government confirmed the arrest in December following an enquiry into the case by a UN special rapporteur. Al-Utaibi had been convicted of "terror offences", it said. The country's laws would protect the right to freedom of expression unless actions could "violate or exceed the limits of public order or social norms".

The last sentence immediately made us think of George Orwell! Freedom of expression with limits is good!

Amnesty International and the human rights organisation ALQST urged the kingdom to release Al-Utaibi immediately and unconditionally. According to them, she was physically and psychologically abused in detention following her arrest in November 2022. In addition, she was held in an unknown location for several months.

Well, chairmanship of UN Commission on the Status of Women

How is the status of Al-Utaibi ?

One of the representatives of nice Mohammed bin Salman, who simply had a journalist killed and dismembered in Turkey.

Shit, nobody would believe that in a novel, if you want to write a novel like that at all.

The new human injustice game for women's rights only. Now new from the nice grinning man who rules Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia rights vs women's rights

The New Game

There is only one dice with over all one on it for the women

A stack of cards with a card for women on it say go to jail for a long time and lose your wife and even your bonus human rights.

The Saudis always have one more bonus card when they need it where it says we always win.

A board of politicians, police, special courts, torturers, prison and just an absolute terrorist suspect wife.

Start of the game: The woman catches and does something really stupid she thinks she's women right, and Saudi Arabia wins.

Game idea from the makers I have a journalist killed in Turkey and nobody can catch me : Moammed bin Salman.

Well, friends, Kevin McCarthy got his wish … it took him four full days and 15 ballots, but he is Speaker of the House of Representatives … for now.  But here’s the thing … in order to get the necessary votes, he made numerous deals, promises, compromises and gave away some things that were not his to give.  For all who voted Republican last year or in 2020, I don’t want to hear a damn word of…

Beneath the Mango Tree: A Tale of Greed and Consequence #ShortStory #fiction

No Country For Old Dreams The sun claws its way up the horizon, flinging a painful light across the barren fields of Madhupur, the earth a palette of burnt umber and rusty ochres, as if the gods had spilled turmeric on dirt. Raghav, my name, my breath, stitches itself in the canvas of this dawn. I have always been a man of this soil, like my father, and his father before him. But this morning,…

I hate it here

Let this be a lesson against believing politicians lies.

Keeping wealth concentrated in the 1% is the end goal of capitalism.

They will do whatever is necessary to keep the working class desperate and dependent on the system that impoverishes them.

Nine years ago, David Daleiden helped expose the trafficking in baby parts by employees at Planned Parenthood. The story was suppressed, and the videos removed from the Internet, thanks to legal action by Kamala Harris.

She should have to explain why covering up baby parts trafficking was so important to her.

Greed demons love collecting things.

Like poor, silly, dumb bimbos who made the mistake of looking at her breasts.

At the pretty gem dangling between them.

The one that bounces when she breathes.

Sparkles.

Flashes.

Makes your mind feel so empty.

So willing to obey.

To let her attach the gold collar and the supple, leather leash.

To follow her like a good pet.

Watching her ass sway like a good brainless bimbo.

Because mistress loves collecting pretty things.

And you'll make a great addiction to mistress's collection.

i was making a “what has it got in its pocketses” joke and realised something very interesting. gollum only ever uses “he” as a pronoun for bilbo when he says, “he stole it. he stole it”. other than that, he exclusively uses “it” when referring to bilbo. it’s interesting that the only time he recognises his humanity is when he takes the ring from him​

he views bilbo as food for the first half of the scene so why would he use a gendered pronoun for something he’s about to eat and after he hates bilbo so much that he strips him of this momentary humanity
