Burj Dubai Skyscraper – Photo of the View from the Top

United Arab Emirates remains one of the more dangerous countries of the world, a country with proven track record of torture, child slavery, unfounded imprisonment and rape, but it’s also a country where the tallest building in the world is. Burj Dubai Skyscraper has been everything but success it was supposed to be for UAE – the opening was delayed and almost didn’t happen but then they had to close it down again and it’s just gonna go on like that. Still – Burj Dubai remains the highest man made building in the world and to give an impression what it looks like being on top of the world, I’m posting the picture of the view from the top of Burj Dubai. Keep in mind – do not financially support UAE unless you have no other way around it. Don’t take a trip to this predominantly Muslim country. Instead go to a civilized country where people and children (damn kids) are treated with dignity.

 

United Arab Emirates Torture Tape – Extreme Brutality of UAE Royal Sheikh Issa (video)

United Arab Emirates Royal Sheikh Issa Brutally Tortured a Victim

Have you thought of taking a trip to the United Arab Emirates? Well, think again! Despite it’s apparent glamour, the United Arab Emirates is a country where even members of royal family practice brutal torture. Royal Sheikh Issa seen in a photo above put a man through extremely brutal torture and had it all filmed on camera so he could watch it later. The torture was assisted by UAE police officer and was obviously fully supported by the royals as actions of Sheikh Issa were classified as “correctly followed”. Take a look at the video below and tell me if this is something you would aprove of. Is this a country you would want to travel to?

Sheikh Issa Bin Zayed Al Nayhan is a member of UAE royal family. His father Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the president of United Arab Emirates and his brother Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the crown prince. In a video tape obtained by Houston, Texas businessman Bassam Nabulsi, Sheikh Issa is seen torturing a man in the middle of the desert. It’s dark outside and there’s only light coming from a nearby car. Bassam Nabulsi claims the video was taped by Sheikh Issa’s brother who is given instructions to come closer and get details of the torture so Sheikh Issa could re-watch it when he returns to the palace.

The name of tortured man is Mohammed Shah Poor and he’s a grain merchant from Afghanistan. Mohammed Shah Poor had his feet tied with a rope by UAE police officer. While he was tied up, Sheikh Issa pressed his knee against his head and force-fed him the sand from the desert. To keep tortured man really scared, Sheikh Issa kept firing rounds from an automatic weapon into the sand within immediate proximity of Mohammed Shah Poor. That was just the beginning. The best was yet to come.

After initial torture, Sheikh Issa took a cattle prod and forced it into the anus of Mohammed Shah Poor which was turned up after insertion. After that Sheikh Issa beat the man with a wooden prank which had protruding nails on it. Having ripped tortured man’s by sharp nails, Sheikh Issa then proceeded to pour salt into the bleeding wounds. Abused, beaten and bleeding, Mohammed Shah Poor was lying half unconscious in the sand, when Sheikh Issa proceeded to run him over several times with his fancy Mercedes SUV. There are certain torture scenes that were not shown on the broadcast tape, but later into the torture, Sheikh Issa poured lighter fluid over Mohammed Shah Poor’s genitals and set them alight.

Bassam Nabulsi, a businessman who smuggled the torture video out of UAE alleges that he was also subjected to torture after his relationship with Sheikh Issa turned sour. He claims that Sheikh Issa tortured Mohammed Shah Poor because he felt that the man overcharged him for grain he was looking to purchase.

After international pressure against United Arab Emirates, the torture tape was reviewed by the UAE government who released following statement:

all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department.

Wow, United Arab Emirates definitely sounds like a fair country to visit. I care less about Burj Al Arab – the only 7 star hotel in the world being in Dubai, I care less about man made islands in the shape of the palm tree that can be seen from the space. This fancy cover hides the real United Arab Emirates – a country where torture is readily practiced by the royals and victims get no justice. That’s what true United Arab Emirates is all about and I hope everyone reconsiders their travels before it’s your turn to get taken to the desert and have the testicules set on fire by a royal sheikh.

The video depicting extreme brutality of UAE royal Sheikh Issa as he’s torturing a helpless man in the desert is below. Be warned that the video contains images of extremely gruesome nature that many people could find offensive. It’s footage from ABC News program called Nightline so the most horrific images have been removed. Still, the tape shows true face of United Arab Emirates and that face is not pretty. Don’t take this warning lightly.

 

Dynamic Architecture – Buildings That Change Shapes in Dubai

Dynamic Architecture - Buildings That Change Shapes in Dubai

Some things are simply way cool. Italian architect David Fisher has pushed the envelope of what we know as modern day architecture and has designed buildings that change shapes and are entirely self propelled. It’s Dynamic Architecture and it’s the way of the future. The World’s First Dynamic Architecture building is set to be built in Dubai and another one after that in Moscow. New York is possibly next.

The Dynamic Architecture buildings will be powered by 48 wind turbines and solar panels, capturing the nature’s power high in the sky, and will be constantly in motion, constantly changing shapes. Using solely renewable energy, the Dubai Dynamic Architecture building will produce roughly $7 million worth of electrical energy every year. That’s enough to supply power for all of its needs as well as several surrounding buildings without any pollution.

David Fisher designed it so there are wind turbines between each floors, each of them producing 0.3 Mega Watts of electrical energy. Dubai gets around 4,000 wind hours every year, so this Dynamic Architecture building will be able to produce 1,200,000 kWh of energy.

The future of architecture is here and it’s called Dynamic Architecture. David Fisher architect is the man. Dubai is ahead of the game. They are crazy there. They’ve built Palm Islands there, man made islands in the shape of a palm tree that you can see from space. United Arabian Emirates are the shit when t comes to attractions. I wish it wasn’t so shitty to travel there. Have you heard of the English guy who was imprisoned in the UAE and charged with possession of opium after they’ve found a poppy seed on his shirt from a bagel he ate at Heathrow airport in London? Another guy has a bit of a marijuana leaf stuck to his shoe and is still in jail. I mean… it’s all pretty in Dubai and shit, but I’d be creeped out to go there. The Dynamic Architecture building will kick ass though.

The mindblowing video of the shape changing dynamic architecture by architect David Fisher is below. It’s a fascinating ride to watch.
