"Without regulation, capitalist exploitation will devolve into slavery."

-Joe Cannon has no respect for the Reptilians who have lost money in Dubai.

George Patrick doesn't, either.

...Here are a few excerpts from that piece -- and if anyone out there can shove these words under the noses of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, I'd be grateful:

The question is: What in God's name are they doing there? Dubai is a slave society.

Whatever the law may say, there are whole areas of Dubai City given over to dozens of brothels where ten thousand women from Eastern Europe, the Far East, and Sub-Saharan Africa are held as sex slaves.

Some Dubai married men keep foreign sex slaves in special apartments popularly known as "shag pads." If a desperate captive woman flees, the "owner" - in an echo of the "runaway slave" advertisements in pre-Civil War USA - will run an "absconding servant" advertisement in Dubai newspapers.

Foreign working men, if not exactly enslaved, are the next thing to it. The luxury hotels and apartments of Dubai where the celebrities live pampered lives are built by labourers (mostly from India) who are paid starvation wages - often months in arrears - amidst regular threats of violence.

Then there are the child slaves. Outside the city, there are farms where 6,000 boys, often kidnapped as babies, are held in bondage to serve as jockeys in the immensely popular camel races. They are frequently starved to keep their race weight down.

Protection for these grossly abused fellow humans is nonexistent. They don't seem to be viewed as humans at all. They are mere things to be used and discarded.

Gee -- and you were probably under the impression that Angelina cared about children. Naw. She doesn't give a shit about exploited kids. In fact, she tossed her money at the world's worst child abusers.

By the way, the above-quoted piece does not mention that the foreign workers brought into Dubai routinely have their passports taken away from them by their employers. Moreover, Dubai is one of the few countries which still maintains debtor prisons: If you can't make your mortgage payments, you go to jail...

You can bet the Emirates will not go to their own jail, having learned from Halliburton that international laws are simply devices for the oligarchs to use to control everyone else.
