The DAILY BEAST goes ‘Inside the Secret World of Arab Playboys’

The DAILY BEAST goes ‘Inside the Secret World of Arab Playboys’

Tom Sykes writes,

The royal family of the oil-rich emirate will no doubt be hoping that the conclusion of the mourning period will bring down the curtain. For many years speculation ran rampant that the charming and glamorous Prince Rashid, who lived a glittering life amply accessorized with racehorses, fast cars, and beautiful women, was a persistent drug abuser and sex addict.

In the UAE, the prince’s death has been greeted with hagiographic official obituaries.

In the West, however, the demise of Rashid has cast a rare beam of light on the secret world of the Arab playboys who flock every summer to escape the intense heat of the Middle East, and spend vast amounts of money on Western debaucheries.

The alleged behavior of some of these Arab princelings was highlighted again on Friday, after Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud was reportedly accused of attempting toforce an employee to give him oral sex, before more reports of him sexually accosting five women surfaced.

USA POSTPONES MR ROBOT DUE TO VIRGINIA NEWS SHOOTINGS

USA postponed Wednesday night’s scheduled season finale of Mr. Robot in light of the murders that occurred live on air this morning in Virginia.. Timing is strange as usual in this world..
THIS from USA:

The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robotcontains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia. Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode. Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time

It’s interesting to consider the amount of times that reality and fiction seem to intertwine so well together at the right moment..

There are countless examples.
The one that came to mind almost immediately was the way BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER delayed GRADUATION DAY due to the Columbine killings..

The MR ROBOT set for Wednesday will now air on September 2..

The ‘head in a saucepan’ serial killer granny

Russia was shocked this week by the arrest of a 68-year-old woman being dubbed the babushka serial killer..

Tamara Samsonova murdered a 79-year-old companion for not washing tea cups. It gets worse.. she then cut up the body and dumped parts around town..

And worse: There is video of her dragging body parts from closed circuit TV–something police have enthusiastically embraced as the best evidence that the old woman did the crime.

And not just that crime.

RT followed the story and has an extensive report about the babushka wearing murderer.. This from the report:

The search there produced evidence suggesting that this was not the first violent crime committed by Samsonova. Further investigation led to a discovery straight out of a horror movie.
The investigators found a detailed diary she had kept for some years in three languages, the report said, in which Samsonova accounted for a dozen murders since the late 1990s.

And more:

Neighbors have described Samsonova as an “misfit.” It was revealed that she had previously been treated by a mental health clinic on more than occasion, and been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Once detained for Valentina’s murder, she initially said that the victim set her up and that another neighbor, a health worker by trade, assisted her in the killing, which was proved to be a lie.
Samsonova also told police that she graduated from St. Petersburg ballet school, but in reality she used to be a bellhop in a hotel.
Police say that before killing her victims she used to sedate them with powerful drugs to immobilize them.

Various other names are being used to describe the the killer–the media enjoys dubbing someone something, in this instance creativity is taking hold. Like this: The ‘Granny Ripper.’ The Babushka Yaga. Or this.. Granny the Ripper. And countless more.

While some may be having obvious fun with the age of the criminal, the murders seem as horrific as anything conducted by a killer less her age. Brutal and inescapable.

And now with a diary, police believe it’s proove enough that she committed countless other crimes beyond the pale.

One neighbor told RT reporters that this entire scenario was even worse than a horror movie.
Funny she said that. The first thing I thought was that some creative movie maker out there was going to make a horror film based on this.

Which in itself seems tragic and gross just as much as the crime that may inspire it..

Ohio man arrested after daughter’s decomposing body found in crib

Ohio man arrested after daughter’s decomposing body found in crib

This could be one of the most disgusting and horrific stories I have ever read about .. ever heard.. This creature who posed as a human not only left the innocent young child’d corpse rot in a crib, but he also told police he put bags of garbage in his young daughter’s room to mask the smell of her decomposing body was granted sole custody of the toddler during a divorce last year. …

Police are investigating another infant death from 2013. A pattern emerged, perhaps..

This is beyond logic.. Beyond humanity.. beyond all of it.
