Ho, Ho, Ho! Send Me $100 Billion By Christmas Or I Will Detonate A Dirty Bomb In 5 Major Cities!

Season’s greetings from your old friend Santa! My, my, it seems the Christmas season comes a bit earlier each year, doesn’t it? Yes, it certainly does. And with the hours ticking away until we make the Yuletide gay, jolly old Saint Nick has a very important message for all his boys and girls.

So, my dear children, no matter what’s on your wish list this year, gather ’round and listen close! Because unless you deliver $100 billion in unmarked bills to the North Pole before Christmas morning, I will detonate dirty bombs in five major cities across the globe!

Do you know what a dirty bomb is, my sweet little ones? It’s a scary contraption that can be easily deployed in a major population center to make all your mommies and daddies very, very sick. And even though Santa loves each and every one of you very much, if his demands are not met, he won’t hesitate to unleash holy hell on unsuspecting civilians in random locations all over the world.

Santa’s workshop hasn’t been making any dolls or train sets this year. My goodness, no! My elves have been hard at work enriching plutonium into payloads that can deliver a virtual second Chernobyl of radioactive death and destruction to any metropolitan area Santa chooses. Oh, yes, indeed. Rudolph’s nose will be glowing this holiday season, but not because it’s magic, if you catch ol’ Kris Kringle’s drift! Ho, ho, ho!

Why, all poor Santa’s asking for is a measly hundred billion smackers. ’Tis the season for giving, is it not? And the only Christmas surprises St. Nicholas wants for you are stockings full of candy canes and gumdrops, carolers singing festive songs, and a cheerful dusting of snow—not a devastating series of blasts in a city center, the screams of sickened citizens, and radioactive fallout blanketing your neighborhood.

Just imagine that! It’d be a veritable winter wonderland—a nuclear winter, that is!

Oh, I bet your mind is racing trying to guess where my explosive little presents are tucked away. Could they be hidden beneath the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree? Or stuffed inside a plump goose in the cellar of a central London restaurant? Not even the smartest mommies and daddies at the top intelligence agencies will be able to guess in time. Ticktock, ticktock! Perhaps you’re doubting the credibility of Santa’s threat? Then maybe Santa should send the code word “Prancer Midnight� to his elves and have them detonate the radiological dispersal device they’ve planted in the Shanghai airport.

Don’t think being a well-behaved little girl or boy will spare you. Cesium-137 doesn’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice—especially not the highly enriched kind my little helpers obtained from the Chechens. One lump of that in your stocking will make your holiday hearth so warm and bright it melts flesh.

Ho, ho, ho! My willingness to shed the blood of innocents is unwavering!

And do you know what else, my sweet sugar plums? If the world’s governments don’t hand over the desired sum, these dirty bombs will only be the beginning. So you better pay up, you better not cry, or your skin will slough off as you die, because Santa Claus is coming to town with a hydrogen bomb if he is not compensated in full, and before the year is out he will rain down nuclear hellfire on the world’s most densely populated locales.

Anyway, I should get going. I still have a lot of “toys� to cobble together in my workshop if I’m going to make this Christmas one the world will never forget. So God bless you, every last one of you—unless, that is, you’re one of the unfortunate souls who might taste the horrors of a nuclear holocaust. All those little ones can do is pray the grownups in charge choose to comply.

Aha ... and this, if true, is something that makes it O.K. to tolerate his killing, ordered by MBS?

[Proteus_MST]

You Germans put people in prison because you don't like what they say? We tolerate you.

Only if you incite to hatred and/or violence against parts of the population (as defined by ethnicity, religion or nationality).
In germany it is punished if you get caught/identified when publicly proclaiming that jews should be gassed, or publicly expressing your wish for violence towards other parts of the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksverhetzung

I have no doubt that the political right sees measures against hate speech as an unfair curbing of their "right to free speech" ...
after all, hate speech makes up 90% of the propaganda of rightwing groups and Trumpists (including Trump himself)

[Proteus_MST]

So you actually claim that the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't incite violence?

So you are pro death penalty without any trial, for anyone suspected of having connections to the muslim brotherhood?

[Proteus_MST]

In America you have the right to promote that group. I just don't feel sorry for you if you get murdered.

I understand, so you are pro unlimited free speech, but also pro vigilante justice

[Proteus_MST]

Do you think people in Turkey have freedom of Speech?

Kashoggi was killed by Saudis, most likely on order of a Saudi prince and in a Saudi embassy
(of course, the Saudis have as much free speech as the turks ... that means, very little)

[Proteus_MST]

And my point is that if he had been killed by Turkey no one would care, because they would have no motivation to screw up the US-SA alliance.

I doubt so.
Just look at the many things that western media (not only in the USA but also in other western countries) constantly and deliberatrely overlook in Saudi Arabia.

That it is even less of a democracy than turkey.
That women, until a short while ago, weren't even allowed to drive a car (and that MBS, after he gave women the right to drive a car, imprisoned those feminists who had fought for the right to drive for many years)
That there is not only no free press in SA, but also SA attempts to deliberately suppress any negative voices, in its country and abroad.
And that you may be sentenced to death, evenb for peaceful protests in SA.
That there is factual slavery in Saudi Arabia
That the Shariah actually in SA is enforced even more strictly than in Iran.

And many more.

You will only rarely see any press reports about these things in western media.
There continually are more reports about any bad things Erdogan does, than about any bad things that happen in SA.

Therefore I would actually say that MBS ordering the mudering of a US resident (and reporter of the free western press) actually was something unique with regards to Saudi Arabia in so far as it was the straw that broke the camels back, for the western media

[Proteus_MST]

MBS is actually a moderate. He is changing SA for the better. Khashoggi was an Islamist. Yes, sometimes the moderates murder the Islamists. That's how it works. Do you want SA to stay the way it is? Or do you want the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran increase in influence and power?

He will have to change a lot if he wants SA to reach, at least, a similar level as Iran, when it comes to womens rights and democracy

[Proteus_MST]

Iran is a theocracy. I thought you didn't like those. What happened? Because Orange Man?

Saudi Arabia also is a Theocracy.
But Iran at least gives its citizens some limited choice, by allowing them to elect the parliament, whereas Saudi Arabia is a feudal system which is ruled by the king and his extended family.
So, citizens in Saudi Arabia don't even have the limited influence on the government, that the citizens in Iran have.
(not to forget that womens rights are a little bit better in Iran than in SA (for example, they only have to wear a simple headscarf in Iran and not the niqab as in SA, and they are allowed to do a larger variability of jobs than women in SA))

Which is why I see it as extremly hypocritical when Trump goes out of his way to condemn Iran, but at the same time is best Buddy with the SA royality

[Dinner]

Can we kill them both? That seems like a fair solution .

[Proteus_MST]

Wow! Are you an agent for Iran or what? Because you spread their lies like Khashoggi did.

The entire government is controlled by the Supreme Leader and Sharia Law. No one in Iran can violate Sharia at all. For fuc sake, the USSR had a parliament.

The royal family in SA are our allies. They are pro'Israel. You call that hypocrisy? Horse****.

That the royal family in SA are our allies doesn't change the fact that they also are a islamist theocracy which is governed by Shariah.
It also doesn't change the fact that Iran has elections, whereas in SA there are no elections above muinicipial level

If you deny this, you may live in similar alternate realities as Trump.

The USA only cares about human rights when it suits them.
Which also is, why Saddam Hussein before 1992 was the same Bastard as after 1992 ... but before 1992 he was a useful Bastard, whereas after 1992 he became a nuisance that had to be kept in check (and later removed)

Under Trump this has become even more of a factor, which is why he praises a dictator like Kim, and at the same time condemns his allies in the NATO

[Proteus_MST]

Do you believe that the US should have allied itself with the USSR? Was that hypocrisy? Because Orange Man?

You can be allied with a country without denying that it has massive human rights problems.
You can be in a state of cold war with another country without denying that in some regards it has a slightly better human rights records than one of your allies.

It is called "straying with the truth".
Of course I know that this concept is hard to grasp for Trumpists ...
whose definition of truth is "everything I want to believe and that is good/useful for my side" and who disregard all news that don't fit into their picture of the world (or which is bad for their own side) as "fake-news"

As you mentioned the USSR:
It also shouldn't be too hard to admit that the USSR, over many of the first decades of the cold war, was more progressive that the USA when it comes to womens rights
