WikiLeaks Blows The Lid Off The Sex Parties And Drug Usage Among The Saudi Royals
WikiLeaks Blows The Lid Off The Sex Parties And Drug Usage Among The Saudi Royals

The latest from WikiLeaks is designed to drum up trouble inside the kingdom:

--------

¶1. (C) Summary: Behind the facade of Wahabi conservatism in the streets, the underground nightlife for Jeddah’s elite youth is thriving and throbbing. The full range of worldly temptations and vices are available -- alcohol, drugs, sex -- but strictly behind closed doors. This freedom to indulge carnal pursuits is possible merely because the religious police keep their distance when parties include the presence or patronage of a Saudi royal and his circle of loyal attendants, such as a Halloween event attended by ConGenOffs on. Over the past few years, the increased conservatism of Saudi Arabia’s external society has pushed the nightlife and party scene in Jeddah even further underground. End summary.

Elite party like the rest of the world,

5. They hypocrisy is mind-blowing
I hope that these revelations, released with perfect timing, as were the Tunisian cables, will serve to change things in Saudi Arabia also.

That is a brutal regime. They urged Mubarak to completely suppress the Egyptian revolution by force, and will most likely do so in their own country. So, it will take a lot of courage for the people there to rise up against that regime.

The U.S. as in the case of all these brutal regimes, has helped keep them in power.

It's like someone opened the doors to the world's darkest, most hidden horror chambers, as we are now seeing in Egypt and will elsewhere when other countries raid their secret police's files, and all the evils we have only suspected, are dragged out into the sunlight.

11. When I was visiting a friend in Switzerland during the mid-'80s...
I was at a party when I met a young man from the mid-east who was on vacation. After he left the party, a Swiss friend told me that such young men come to Europe "on vacation" but really to have sex with European women because of the restrictions and religious taboos on such activity in their own countries.
