If you were trying to put together a global all-star team of the most authoritarian, human rights abusing nations on earth, not only would Saudi Arabia be at the top of the list, it would be captain of the squad.
In a move as embarrassing, laughable and tragic as Barack Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize just as he was about to embark upon several overseas wars and drone countless civilians to death without due process, the United Nations has, remarkably, named Saudi Arabia head of it’s human rights panel.
Of course, this is something I warned of back in May in the post, Saudi Arabia is Making a Play to Head the U.N. Human Rights Council. Here are a few excerpts:
Saudi Arabia is making a bid to head the United Nations’ Human Rights Council (HRC) just days after it posted a slew of new job openings for executioners who would help carry out beheadings amid a massive uptick in state-sanctioned killings in the country.
U.N. Watch, a nonprofit group that monitors the international body, disclosed Saudi Arabia’s intentions in a recent report and urged the United States to fight against it, describing the move as “the final nail in the coffin for the credibility” of the HRC.
Neuer compared the possible ascension of Saudi Arabia to the top slot to electing “a pyromaniac as the town fire chief.”
All hail the pyromaniac in chief. From the Independent:

The day is coming when the oppressed will rise up up and remove the royal families’ “jewels” with a dull butter knife – could not happen to a more deserving group.
I, for one, intend to be on the opposite side of the planet on that day, when all the pain, suffering, and death they have sown, will finally come home to roost.

So… the country who has a shortage of “Executioners” who literally chop off heads, is going to be in charge of “human rights” 😀

…………….as we stay on our knees and worship their oil. A real “free” country would not even do business with the Sah-oodis. America has become just another brick in the wall.
Well you know what they say, it’s funny cause it’s true.

Israel probably had a little whisper in America’s ear
