In a show of how gruesome, backwrads and barbaric the modern world is, we have Saudi Arabia who is looking to hire more bitchering executions in order to meet the increasing prisoner population and "need" for beheadings and other amputations.
After 37 people were executed in a single day by having their heads chopped off, the Sharia law focused state has posted a job listing looking for 8 new executioners for public beheadings. The descriptions mentions the primary role of "executing a judgment of death". But the job also involves amputations for lesser crimes.
It's pretty shocking that this is being done in the 21st century, honestly. This is the 21st century, or is it? Why the fuck are any other countries dealing with this "Kingdom" who is poised to set a new record for killings in 2019? And this is without counting the war in Yemen.
Oh right, because our own governments are a different kind of demented in their own rights, it's just not as in your face. We just participate in the largest human murder machine, and Saudi Arabia is just another cog in that machine.
Since 2014, about 600 executions have taken place in public, where people watch "suspects convicted of terrorism, homicide, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking face the death penalty" by having their heads chopped off. The West may be the spear of the murder war machine which Saudi Arabia is part of, but at least we've moved away from public executions where people revel in the death of another, be it beheading, hanging, beating or whatever method.
In 2018, over 140 people were put to death. Statistics for this year are showing that 2019 will top it, with 170 public executions by the sword. Some of these "crimes" are victimless, like convicting drug smugglers to death by beheading. A 21 year old student was also beheaded, not for drugs, but for sending texts online about anti-government demonstrations. That was his crime. Texts, which the crazed Saudi government under Sharia law declared to be "terrorism" and beheaded him.
With this madnessa and the war on Yemen, this would be a good time for the West to stop allying itself with the Saudis, or at least to stop helping them in military matters. Right? Well, the U.S. isn't going to, and neither is Germany.
Germany is going to train Saudi soldiers. Last year, Germany only temporarily stopped arms exports to Saudi Arabia following the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. But that faded with the French and British pressure to get them to keep exporting to the Saudis.
Germany will train 5 Saudi's in an officer training course in July. Two other will be trained in the air force. Seven more will be training in German to precede officer training in 2020. Then they can all take back their German training to Saudi Arabia and be better war mongers in Yemen. How wonderful :/
This is the mad world we live in, where sanity is a fleeting state of humanity as governments push us around and count on our silence to keep bullying us and the respective citizenry of various nations. The information war needs warriors to awaken, otherwise we're headed to great totalitarian authority everyhere.
