I've been reading the Human Rights report on Kuwait. Its rather interesting, its quite general with some area's that go a little more in depth. I believe they leave quite a few issues out for political reasons.
A few interesting aspects I've come across one of which is the freedom of speech limitations beyond the obvious "do not insul Islam, The Emir, or Crown Prince" there seems to be one that protects the neutrality of the courts and the public prosecutors office. Does that mean one may not say that the courts could be also corrupt? or that a verdict may have been influenced for political or financial reasons?
Also mentioned in the report is famed blogger Bashar Al-Sayegh.
"On November 11, the Court of Cassation sentenced the person who posted a comment insulting the emir on Bashar Al-Sayegh's Web site in 2007 to two years in prison. Al-Sayegh himself was acquitted of any charges on February 2."
Who is that guy? Where is he? still in prison?

A lot of Work can be done for the better in Kuwait. Lets get to it.

10 Weird Human Sex Facts
Sure, animal sex is weird, but humans are part of that strange kingdom. Here are 10 Weird Sex Facts that prove we’re civilized here at the top of the food chain and yet still pretty freakin’ gross…
1. During sweaty sex, men ooze testosterone. And it’s actually a biological turn on for women!
2. There’s almost 500 different types of bacteria in your mouth. Almost 50% of them live on your tongue. So perhaps the French Kiss should be renamed the Twice As Dirty Kiss.
3. One out of seventeen, or 400,000,000 people have sex a day. 4,000 people are doing it right now! So, the world is a rockin’, don’t go a knockin’.
4. Turn up the heat, in every way. The hotter the room, the fiercer the orgasm. Vasocongestion, or the heat flush on your skin, is akin to blushing from sex.
5. Your vagina is also a great swim coach. The pelvic spasms caused by an orgasm actually move sperm up stream towards fertilizing your eggs.
6. Pops likes to get it on. Seventy-three-percent of 70-year-old men are still potent. Whoa, down boy!
7. The endorphins released during sex actually relieve a headache. So that old excuse isn’t just tired, it’s just plain wrong!
8. Back in 1609, Dr. Wecker found a dead man with two peckers! Since, 80 cases of double headers have been reported. But no word on whether or not those guys ever got them both on in a threesome.
9. You can go from zero to 60 fast! The fastest speed a sexy sensation can travel from your va-jay-jay to your brain has been clocked at the Ferrari-fast speed of 156 mph.
10. Erotic asphyxiation didn’t just kill INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence. Cutting off oxygen to your brain to feel a strong new sensation during sex causes around 500 American deaths every year.

The Kuwait Status Qou
We need to look hard at our current situation in Kuwait. On the outside, the mere veneer an apparently robust economy, a happy people, a complacent society with a positive flow to a better future. Poverty Is Low. Free Education. Free Health care. A Government that pays the people instead acquiring payments in the form of taxes for services. A Dream that surpasses the great American Dream at times. So great a dream that impovershed people of thrown away their passports once across the border of Kuwait to claim Citizenship.
Below that perfect veneer, lies a dark and vicious nightmare that only surfaces itself into the vision of the ordinary eye rarely. A Nightmare so horrific it scares the "beegeies" out of the knowing few who have taken a short peep show into that nightmare that could one day become reality. Like any cause, there is a reaction and the reaction varies across varying prospective dreamers.
Our System is currently incredibly corrupt. Take the immense capital of wealth out of the nation and their lies nothing at all to have pride in. Pure disgust of a potential most possibly already ruined. In light of Proud to Be Kuwaiti. P2BK, an exhibition of Kuwait entrepreneurship aiming to focus the countries future in business it falls short of what Kuwaiti's ought to be proud of, yet there is nothing really to take pride in.
Our Educational System is a complete mess. From the Bottom-Up, Teachers that barely can teach, to supervisors and administrators that have befallen to corruption, to the students that are brought up not to respect other nationalities simply because of a financial difference - an interesting way of encouraging Nationalism. Heads of Departments to the Chairs of Various councils in regards to education are corrupt and have a different order of things when it comes to setting priorities in education and educational standards. The Root of the Mess? I am not quite sure about, but in most societies governments require the masses to be uneducated, in order to be dependant on the state for career oriented jobs and fill in positions for the army, police, etc.. Beyond that, an uneducated mass is easily subject to propaganda and brainwashing, and more over simply easier to control. Education is Knowledge and Knowledge is Power. To Allow Power to transfer onto the people in anyway, shape, or form would be re balancing power away from its current holders. When a country is run by a few powerful and wealthy individuals who look to further empower and increase their monetary values that will be the case. In a country where the people are united, and work together for the better of the people and that is priority number one, the people will only look to further their knowledge and their overall power against the powers against them as a people-as a whole. Education is no Longer Feared, it is Welcomed and Sought.
The State of the Police. A Corrupt monopolizing power that is slowly bankrupting the nation of beyond monetary means. Bankrupting us of decent ideals and morals as the hold an authoritative state and position of the ideal role model and ruining the image by moving in opposition of decent morals and ideals. Their Jobs guaranteed by the government as to always be standing, incapable of firing, an abuse of their positions by a lack of performance and a corrupt standing within our society. Which is exponentially worsening due to the government backing of the force as it is across the entire world.
How many of you ever filed a complaint at the police station and got their rights? Been served and protected?
How many of you have heard of or witnessed a total disregard of personal rights? A woman beaten by a man in broad day-light sitting with her family for hours at a station in order to file a report with.. Alas with an outcome that is inhumane in nature. The perpetrator walks free.
How many of you have heard of incidents of "wasta" where from something minor as verbal abuse to something as large as murder is turned a blind eye to in favor of the perpetrator who had the "wasta" required in order to get away with the crime. Recently in the news a man who killed an entire family while speeding at260 KM is freed, with only blood money payments by the perpetrator.
How many of you have ever proposed a complaint to get the common answer "What do you want me to do about it?" from the police officer while he drinks his tea and smokes his cigarette at work.
How many of you have heard or been victim to police harassment or brutality and been offered the exit door while registering your complaint?
Today the common remark at the police station would be "Have you got wasta?" if you've got someone to pull your rights for you..maybe we'll do something.
If you have the "Wasta" today maybe you won't tomorrow.. maybe your children won't or their grand kids would you want them victim to such crimes and be disregarded? This is part of the peep show nightmare that some have witnessed and reacted to..
A State with a current overabundance of money is squandering it away as it loses sight of priorities and instead favors personal pockets. Recently at one of the Large Kuwaiti Malls, a woman gets "fingered" in front of her family members and a huge fight breaks out, even though it slowly escalated and the Mall has its own police office. It reached to the degree of having the need to bring in "Riot Police" in order to control the crowd. Do you think the girl or her family got their rights? What incentives do police have in order to perform their righteous duties instead of drinking tea, coffee and smoking cigarettes all day?
Something to think about: What has caused Kuwait's social downfall beginning in 1996? Please do not come back with answers like "Western Influence" or a religious appeal. Its not that, countries that are heavily western and even some that are overly atheist are decent and more well mannered than some Kuwaiti's (Sweden).
Kuwait Health care. Kuwait one of the richest countries in the world "Today" per capita is "even though offering free health care" has one of the most horrid health care systems. One of the main hospitals Mubarak Hospital is nicknamed the Hospital of Death due to the careless nature of the doctors and hospital staff. Kuwait hires doctors on a low salary and what do they expect to get? The low end of the job force, ones that could not make it even in their own countries.
What happens when you or most other people visit a government hospital? They hand you paracetamol (Basically Panadol without the Brand) for every possible symptom and that's if your Lucky. If your not. You may be asked to come in for Injections or given medication that is wrong as the diagnosis was incorrect in the first place. So to keep the rich alive and those with "Wasta" (wasta meaning connection to someone of power) they offer flights and care abroad.. if you get your name on the list.. That system too is known for its blatant abuse by those in powerful positions.
Guess what else? Doctors here in Kuwait are hired, and don't take regular examinations to update their knowledge. They keep the same knowledge or degrade it over time without any further testing or standardized testing while the world advances itself in medicine. (Perhaps to encourage Private Sector Spending Unethically).
Why does this all happen in one of the wealthiest Nations of the World?
The Kuwaiti Parliament and Kuwaiti Politics is riddled with corruption. I do not state anything new, it is been long known. It is obvious and there are systems place in order to promote and protect such immoral actions. MP's are safe from prosecution in regards to monetary theft or unethical dealings, they may be simply be removed from office.
How to become a parliament member? Speak and Write Arabic and maybe a high school degree. With enough family members and backing your only a step away from a Parliament seat.
Kuwait is still a tribal society, and politics is surely influenced by it. The Larger the Tribe the larger the chance that a selected member wins. Primary elections are banned, but still done. Deals are done between tribes in order to make use of each others 3 remaining votes of the total 4 that every citizen is allowed to make. There is no sure system that can double check the governments counts of votes to the public, and the remaining votes of the "powerful" must be winners are secured through influence - media campaigns aligned with the owners of the media, and of course the well known use of "public funds" in order to buy votes. Each Winner is guaranteed 250,000 or 500,000 from the government on winning a position and on top the contributions may be more from "anyone" including members of government that may or may not have access to government funding without checks.
How are the people just standing by as such indecent , immoral, and unethical actions take place? while the countries future hands on the balance.
Well, they are kept quite through the "temporary" I say temporary as it surely won't be for long, monetary payments and subsidies that the government and members of parliament pass out or encourage. They are brainwashed into materialism, and the need for more material, the constant want is fed with small denominations of cash and cash equivalents. That is not to say that such payments are wrong, they should still be in existence - but without the evil motives that surround them.
The people need to get together, and put aside their personal differences and empower there commonalities as the people of Kuwait to move toward a positive and better future where great potential resides.

Parliament has abused the powers they have been granted by the state. They have held the country ransom, creating hostages of the people for the benefit of their pockets. They use the powers of impeachment, so called "grilling" at every opportunity they see fit in order to push their agendas. They decide to focus on bullshit matters that work against the people, such as the banning of music, the segregation of men and women at schools and providing no choice to the people, seeking the inhumane legislation to ban women from work after 8 PM. They have prioritized unimportant trivial matters that are only good for argument at social gatherings, while putting aside important issues that will effect the future of the state and its people. Kuwait's democracy is a joke. They have protected their joke of a job by pushing a law that calls for the arrest of anyone that would try to push for the closure of their parliament, their temple of evil and destruction as it should be named. Kuwait once lead the region. Now it drags behind, if not moving in the opposite direction to a Kabul, Afghanistan like state.
The people need to get together, and put aside their personal differences and empower there commonalities as the people of Kuwait to move toward a positive and better future where great potential resides.
This is that nightmare that those who know have peeped into, unlike any other peep show- this one is so awkwardly menacing than titillating. It has bread a variety of reactions, reactions in the face of fear. It has lead more and more people to steal and rob the country as a possible last resort to save themselves and family before it is too late. It is a self-fulfilling nightmare. In order to stop the nightmare to becoming a current reality, our perspective must change to be more positive, our reactions must change to be more positive and duelly our outcome will change for the positive, but the movement must be united. One Nation United Under One Common Goal- Survival and Success as a Nation of People.

Lost City of Atlantis FOUND on Google
Caroline McCarthy Just brought on some insight on the latest finding on Google Earth. Google Eart 5.0 offers undersea Image Data, and apparently "a British aeronautical engineer was playing around with the new Google Earth 5.0, which includes undersea data, and noticed something funny off the coast of Africa, about 600 miles west of the Canary Islands, that resembled a pattern of a street grid"
Arguments have been have on the story for and against the findings. Google in its latest cover-up has declared the findings reminents the large tanker that surveyed the area, whilst others have used Plato's works to prove the findings as the old Lost City of Atlantis.

Sheikh Ali Al Salems Acquital
Al Watan Daily- Owned either partially or in whole be Sheikh Ali Al Khalifa Al-Sabah has Published todays News with a "Emphasized" box regarding "Sheikh Ali's Acquital" stating through it that "The Court Stressed that the dorr for any more petitions int he case has been permanently closed" even though several people strongly believe it should be otherwise.
Perhaps this is why the Courts should be 100% transperant with every decision having a reason and a set of applicable laws and evidence presented entirely to the public. But that would'nt happen because some people may want to keep things under-wraps...
Transperency would further prove to the people beyond any reasonable doubt that one is innocent or guilty. Helping the hand of the accused, the rights of people, and the honor of the judicial process.

Segregation Law Possibly Beaten Out!
Great! Another Move Square one.. Yet it shows we could be Moving Forward. Apparently the recently placed Segregation Law presupposed the "Immorality" of Students. Law Makers will be fighting to remove it. It shouldn't have been placed in the first place, and should have be a possibility. Choice rises above all else. There are both Male and Female Schools as well as Mixed ones. Parents and Students have the right to choose which ones they would prefer to attend, that goes above the unequal-ness and the unnaturalness that gathers through separation.

All Hail the Saudi King! Making Way for the Future!
Have you noticed that the King of Saudi Arabia has recently made some dramatic changes in the government lately. My personal belief is that he had a dream and it was turning out to be good the way things were heading. Change was needed and he has taken the first step to the action required!
He replaced the head of the religious police with a more Liberal one, and installed in a Female Minister!
Saudi wasn't heading for a very prosperous future with the way things were going. Its mostly a barren desert with a capital that has a few buildings. A typical Males day is composed of heading to work, home for lunch, and spending most of the day at a pretty much run-down sheesha (Hookah) Bar. Starting a Business is exceptionally hard due to Bureaucracy and other obstacles, meeting members of the opposite sex besides family is almost impossible as the possibility includes the threat of death by hanging or stoning. It gets much worse for woman who can barely enter the workforce, have to cover from head to two have no rights and can't drive legally. If it wasn't for the oil money.. Saudi Arabia would be one of the worst places to be born in the entire world - one could say synonymous to the waiting room after death and before heaven and hell.
Anyhow, change is on its way. I hope things turn out for the better- more liberties and freedom to the people. Incentives for business within the poorer area's. Anti-corruption Ministries, with rotating heads. A full on System for a Better Future, along side "Sustained" growth - A Dubai sort of idea yet with Morality, Choice, and an Understanding for the People of the Kingdom First.
