Just think of the enormity of the crime: 85,000 young lives starved to death in the cruelest way possible by those overfed criminals in Riyadh. Then picture George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and Prince Charles smiling, laughing, and breaking bread with such men.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right last-count\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-com-Snowflake-Happy-Holidays-Design\/dp\/B01K8RJDEI?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B01K8RJDEI\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/517GxtxgbwL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-com-Snowflake-Happy-Holidays-Design\/dp\/B01K8RJDEI?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B01K8RJDEI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon.com Gift Card i&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-author\"\/><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-label label-formatted-price\">Buy New <\/span>$25.00<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-disclaimer-new\"><span style=\"display:block;color:#888;font-size: .80em; padding: 0 0 3px 0;\">(as of 10:15 EST &#8211; <span style=\"cursor:pointer;\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

Owned by Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with a bottomless well of wealth at his disposal as absolute ruler of the Gulf state Abu Dhabi, the club is easily lording it over the opposition by having collected every star available. Although fair play and fairness on the pitch are not the owner\u2019s strong points, behind the scenes it\u2019s even worse: For ever since the Gulf camel-drivers took over, the club has worked tirelessly to deceive the game\u2019s authorities and get around UEFA\u2019s Financial Fair Play regulations. (Inflated sponsorship deals masking covert cash injections from down south, you name it, they\u2019ve pulled it, including threats to the accounting firm sent by UEFA to examine the cheating.)<\/p>\n<p>I could have told this to anyone who would listen that the moment&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2018\/12\/taki-theodoracopulos\/goodwill-to-almost-all-men\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are, once again writing for Takimag\u2019s Christmas issue.
