Dubai World unit, sued in New York for stealing $3M from hotel fund.
Here is the story
The recent assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai has revealed how the small Emirate
is completely canvassed by CCTV's and police linked passport hotel check-in scanners. From
arrival at the airport, to their hotels, going shopping and down to the bathrooms, all visitors
or residents are filmed, documented and tracked in their every day life.
At the difference with the West where CCTV's are to fight crime with skilled agents
monitoring "live" cameras in the streets, malls, hotels and other public places, and who can
call police officers to arrest or check any suspects, Dubai CCTV's are only to control people.
The hit squad walked in, did their deed, walked out and disappeared leaving a trail of pictures
of wigs, false beards, glasses and "borrowed" names, however nothing that could lead to
substantiated accusations or evidences pointing at anyone. Dubai Police has accomplished
nothing but a power point on a very sophisticated ghost operation. It is because nobody is
watching the cameras, they are only recorded to upload information that can be pulled out
later, when needed, and without any warrants or controls, to track down and trap
expatriates, candidate for being the scapegoat of some locals.
I knew that, long ago, and that is why I used disguises so that I could never be identified or
caught on camera as I was preparing my escape. I did not have to show my passport, I did
not have one anymore.....
After the assassination, General Dahi Khalfan, head of Dubai Police, claimed he recovered all
evidences to identify and point at Mossad agents, sure he did ...He looks familiar does not he?
Armed with his magnifying glass he vows to hunt down the hit squad, Israeli Prime Minister
and Mossad Chief.
Flood and cracks with underground water damages at the Dubai Mall aquarium,
labelled as minor leak resulting in light "maintenance": another cover up by Emaar. The
evacuation of the public was less out of security concerns, than to prevent people from
taking pictures that affects Dubai image negatively.
Outrage at acquittal of Abu Dhabi sheikh in 'torture' tape, a stain on the UAE, a proof
of a corrupt justice system:
Here is the story
An Emirati court acquitted Sheikh Issa bin Zayed, the brother of the United Arab Emirates
president, of charges of torturing an Afghan citizen. He was found not guilty because "he
was drugged" whilst administering the torture.
Doesn't that just tell you that there cannot be any fair trial in the UAE.
Their justice system is corrupt and appalling.
Sheikh Issa was caught on camera torturing and beating a bound man.

Police to track boats in UAE waters.
Once the Dubai Government learned I escaped on a sailboat, the immediate reaction from
authorities was to prevent it from happening again. They are now enforcing new rules: all
boat owners in Dubai must install a tracker inside their boats for absolute Police tracking on
the water. According to the Coast Guards, it's for your safety, so they want you to think! If
a boat sails without the tracker, it will be spotted, stopped, searched and the owner fined. In
addition, anyone who wants to register a boat after purchase must be approved by the CID,
after background check in the police system. If you have a record don't expect to get
registered and chalk it up as a loss for the money you spent on the boat.
Sultan Bin Sulayem caught with a doped horse after an endurance race.
His horse was tested positive for prohibited doping drugs after a horse race in Al Wathba,
UAE on December 13, 2008. Sultan was "awarded" a 6 month ban from horse races by the
Sport Tribunal. He claimed that he did not know, but I cannot imagine for one second that
any of his employees would take the colossal risk upon themselves to inject illegal drugs in
his prized horses without his knowledge. These morphine base narcotic drugs are not
exactly available over the counter.

Neil Stephenson, the Canadian Founder and former CEO of the Dubai International Film
Festival (DIFF) - an event conceptualized and launched by Stephenson in the aftermath of the
9-11 terrorist attacks in order to bring reconciliation between the West and the Islamic world
- has cleared a key hurdle in his fight for justice against DIFF Chairman Abdulhamid Juma
and Managing Director Shivani Pandya who were served with legal papers in Cannes. What
is interesting here, is the contradiction and hypocrisy of Emirati Officials, saying they respect
the UK court, but refuse their decisions.
Here is the story
Founder and former CEO of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF), Neil Stephenson
filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against two senior officials of the festival "for their
deplorable and despicable behavior," charging they illegally conspired to engineer his
ouster-after which they tried to ruin his reputation by branding him a "racist" and an
"Arab-hater," despite the fact that he had lived and worked in the Arab world for 10 years.
