I have posted about these grandiose projects that the Arabs seem to be building and they remind me of the Chinese "ghost cities".

I doubt they will create a desirable place to live (in the desert) no matter what they do they're still despotic regimes and not really Free states.

[... Forces ‘told to kill’ to clear land for ...]

This is exactly what the new CEO of Thorn Industries was doing to take over farm land - if the land owners wouldn’t sell, they were eliminated

“Damien: Omen II”

The CEO wasn’t the Antichrist - but he was installed to help him and assist him (the movie is fiction, of course)

The scientist discovered the murders - so he died when the valve malfunctioned on P-84

Spread this story to all those anti Israel protesters. Let them know what happens to those who protest in the middle east.

Sounds like what was done in Lahaina to make way for their “Smart City.”

When I had a flight cancelled out of Canton in 2018, I spent one night in a Chinese ghost city. It was very strange. The passengers on that flight were the only occupants of that city.

I was in Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. We where in a village built on the edge of a desert built for Bedouins. The Bedouins were not interested in living there so the village was rotting in the desert. Very strange. It was my understanding that there where many of these villages.

The area where Neom is being built has been described as the perfect “blank canvas” by Saudi leader Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman

Blank, except for those pesky people who actually live there. What a damning statement from this “leader”.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a narrow desert prison surrounded by islamics?

"One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting..."

I doubt you'd want to litter in their newly-built, perfect city.
