On the Libyan news front...I'm concerned

[old fashioned]

Okay, so call me paranoid over nothing if you want...but I do find the implications of this just a bit unnerving.

To follow my thought process on this...

Libyan rebels have plundered Qaddafi's son al-Saadi's home finding amongst other things, a business card for a company that al-Saadi is a major financier called 'Natural Selection' (first warning bell goes off in my head)

https://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlla/qaddafi-son-hollywood-natural-selection-libya_b37016

So I then do a search about this movie company and find this (using Wikipedia as a more objective factual viewpoint)....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Experiment ('natural selection & experiment linked with a member of a dictatorship', second warning bell dings)
Then when reading what that movie was about.....psychological experiment on prisoners of human behavior under a tyranny rule...(WHAT!!!)


I could very well be wrong and al-Saadi is just a good ol' boy looking to hook up with the Hollywood night life....

Looks like Mr. Beakerman realized he made a foolish error in siding up with Libyan money. His greed to latch on to Ghadaffi's cash has now virtually black balled him from the Hollywood elite.

Overseas markets first tried to buy up real estate until the housing market failed and of course Hollywood opened it's doors to attract the cash to them. It takes millions of dollars to invest in making a film and no one can chance that kind of loss, except the overseas mega rich. Also (IMHO) it gets their foot in the door to local government officials and power people.

Dumb move!

I guess I'm just dense. What is your concern?
