Saudi Arabia Warns "Rumor-Mongers" On Facebook And Twitter Risk Execution

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by SM Gibson via TheAntiMedia.org,

A specific moment from the biopic film, The Doors – starring Val Kilmer – took up residence in my subconscious years ago. In actuality, it’s two lines of slurred dialogue that randomly and subtly float into my thoughts as if they are propelled by hot air into the atmosphere. The scene depicts an inebriated Jim Morrison taunting an audience of unsuspecting concert-goers from a stage in Miami, Florida in 1969. With the sincerity that only a vainglorious sot could conjure, Morrison towers and growls over the crowd of mostly teenagers and bellows out: “Adolf Hitler is alive and well and living in Miami! I f***ed her last night,” and with the following alcohol-fueled breath he concluded the thought: “You’d all eat sh*t, wouldn’t you?”

Because the plebeians choose to eternally dine at the media’s trough of propaganda, the ramblings of a bloated drunkard are all that make sense after the frustration takes hold. People will believe anything. One man’s lies are another man’s facts.

The overwhelming rush of bewilderment clouds any intellectual discourse I could bring to the topic of Saudi Arabia. I have exasperated myself on the subject to a manipulated mass of deafened sycophants. Just because the veil is lifted doesn’t mean anyone will look.

So I will leave you with strictly the facts.

According to state-run Makkah Newspaper in Saudi Arabia, the wealthy Gulf-nation is threatening its citizens with the death penalty for spreading rumors about the government on social media.

 

An anonymous source within the Ministry of Justice stated only the worst “rumour-mongers” will be sentenced to death, while lesser offenders of the new policy will be disciplined with flogging, imprisonment, travel bans, house arrest, fines and social media bans.

Although the source is not mentioned by name, it should not be assumed that details of the column are any less credible. Human rights organization Reprieve reports that Makkah’s allegiance to the Saudi government is such that the claims should be considered legitimate.

“Although the report does not use a named source, the nature of state-censorship in the Kingdom makes it unlikely that such claims would be made without the consent of the authorities. In addition, the Makkah Newspaper appears to enjoy government support – according to local news reports, it was launched last year by the Governor of Mecca, in the presence of the Minister for Culture and Information,” according to Reprieve.

The inside source went on to state that social media websites “cause confusion in societies.”

Maya Foa, director of Reprieve’s death penalty team, said “This looks like yet another heavy-handed attempt to crush dissent in Saudi Arabia, especially among the young.”

Saudi Arabia, which was recently chosen to head the U.N. Human Rights Council, has already been the subject of staunch criticism by human rights groups around the globe in recent months for various vile rulings and barbaric acts.

Last month, the oil-rich nation and strong ally of the United States denied the final appeal for 20-year-old Ali Mohammed al-Nimr, who was arrested at age 17 for alleged involvement in anti-government protests. He faces beheading and crucifixion at the hands of the regime, which could be carried out any day.

UNICEF has also recently reported that a Saudi-led military campaign resulted in the deaths of over 2,300 civilians – including over 500 children – since March 26th of this year.

The same Saudi government that has inked arms deals with the United States totaling over $95 billion over the past five years is also responsible for at least 134 executions in 2015.

If free speech in the modern era includes the phrase ‘Give us Tweets or give us death,’ the Saudi royal family is more than content to administer the latter.

How does the United States still align itself with a kingdom that is a clear perpetrator of countless human rights abuses while at the same time militarily intervening in numerous other countries under the guise of promoting human rights? Even stranger, why have the American people still not acknowledged the blatant hypocrisy of their government?

wasting your time pissing in the wind,

you don't have much time left to focus attention and energy on a neatly organized, expertly and painstakingly crafted organization of 535.

Yes, there is no romance and not much excitement in that approach,

"Nazi's declair anti political and religious rhetoric will be dealt with by execution."

There, I fixed it for you. 

Isn't that why we killed them in the first place?

Are you really awake?

The Canadian government is refusing to say whether it obtained assurances that light armoured vehicles being sold to Saudi Arabia in a massive $15-billion deal would not be used against the Saudi people – a key guarantee required by federal export controls when arms are destined for countries with a “persistent record of serious violations of the human rights of their citizens.”

I gave a case of vodka to an alcoholic friend of mine just to keep for awhile.  He assured me he wouldn't drink any of it.

can somebody enlighten me?  are the rabidly impolite gentle-people bashing back and forth above real ZH readers, or do we just have a battle of troll-camps going at each other?

Read this and maybe this will help explain where the hatred comes from and why it is so pervasive.

"In March 2009, he called for "state-sponsored revenge" to restore "Israel's deterrence." "It's time to call the child by its name: Revenge, revenge, revenge. We mustn't forget. We have to take horrible revenge." He referred to a Mercaz Harav yeshiva attack. He urged attacking innocent Palestinian civilians in response. You can't make this stuff up. Israeli educators drum this rubbish into young minds. They get it from pre-school through higher education. They get it in religious indoctrination. They're taught to hate. They're taught Jewish exceptionalism. They're told Muslim are inferior. They're subhuman."

From what I can gather, people like falconflight or ZD1 are trolls, specifically JIDF trolls. They go on the internet and attack any person or website that criticizes Israel or Jews. Some of them are paid, others do it out of a genuine belief or "duty" to Israel.

Their ultra fanaticism, personal attacks and overall childishness exist to steer the discussion away from the issue at hand, or shut it down entirely. It also helps turn away readers and wear the website down over time.

They only reveal themselves when Jews are mentioned. If you were to blame blacks, gays, catholics, muslims, asians, grey aliens, ANYTHING other than Jews... they won't say a word. But the moment you speak of "da joos" they're on you like a tiny rabid dog, barking endlessly and pulling at your leg in a pathetic attempt to end the discussion. They will try everything to discredit the argument and eventually the posters. If they're banned then they simply come back under a new name and continue their antics until an IP ban.

Their favorite smear words, "nazi and anti-semite" are losing their power over people so they've resorted to a new one: "muzzie". Which is ironic considering Islam and Judaism (+ Christianity) are basically the same religion, give or take some differences.

Every government has their own trolls, including the US and Russia. But it's the JIDF (hasbara) trolls who are the most vicious. Overall it's best to just ignore them and not allow their verbal sewage to ruin your experience on the site.

Saudi Arabia is just a medieval kingdom strait from Horror movie under a veil of wealth and technological progress understood as being stoned to death with gold bars or diamond iPhones. Unfortunately west is not far behind in their quest to regression of civilization .

Soon, what we will see in "Saturday Night Live" is beheading of Kim dotcom or other bloggers for daring to think and touch keyboard, yea, some folks are gonna loose their heads, that's TPP and that's wahhabi corporatism.

This is what this Saudi Kingdom of Horrors really is all about:

It's funny how the hasbara trolls come out to defend the Saudi Regime. It just shows how in bed together Saudi Arabia and Israhell are.

If Putin really wanted to get ISIS he would be bombing Tel Aviv. Come on Putin get serious.
