This British documentary was recorded and produced at considerable risk inside Saudi Arabia. When one stops to watch how the Saudi monarchy does business with its people, it is impossible not to feel revulsion at the political leaders throughout the West who turn a blind eye to the cruelty – and ingratiate themselves to these tyrants.
Notice the cameo appearances of British Prime Minister David Cameron and former American CIA Director David Petraeus, excusing the monstrous practices employed by the Saudi royal family against their subjects as a bit of necessary unpleasantness, to be tolerated and overlooked in our national interests. You know – for the greater good.
I cannot think of words adequate to describe my contempt for these two conniving, venal men – Cameron and Petraeus. Nor for the Bush family, which has been closely aligned with the Saudi monarchy for decades. By telling us that Islam is peace, the Bush family has done nothing less than to abjectly betray us.
I’m not at all suggesting the USA should try to fix Saudi Arabia. I am saying we should get out of that part of the world altogether and leave them to their Islamic misery, instead of importing it into our culture. We are in the process of a national suicide by continuing to bring Shariah onto our shores.
John Lloyd Work has taken the detective thriller genre and woven an occasional political thread throughout his books, morphing what was once considered an arena reserved for pure fiction into believable, terrifying, futuristic, true-to-life “faction”.
He traveled the uniformed patrolman’s path, answering brutal domestic violence calls, high speed chases, homicides, suicides, armed robberies, breaking up bar fights, and the accompanying sporadic unpredictable moments of terror - which eventually come to all police officers, sometimes when least expected. He gradually absorbed the hard fact that the greatest danger a cop faces comes in the form of day-to-day encounters with emotionally disturbed, highly intoxicated people. Those experiences can wear a cop down, grinding on his own emotions and psyche. Prolonged exposure to the worst of people and people at their worst can soon make him believe that the world is a sewer. That police officer’s reality is a common thread throughout Work’s crime fiction books.
Following his graduation from high school, Work studied music and became a professional performer, conductor and teacher. Life made a sudden, unexpected turn when, one afternoon in 1976, his cousin, who eventually became the Chief of the Ontario, California, Police Department, talked him into riding along during a patrol shift. The musician was hooked into becoming a police officer.
After working for two years as a reserve officer in Southern California and in Boulder, Colorado, he joined the Longmont, Colorado Police Department. Work served there for seven years, investigating crimes as a patrolman, detective and patrol sergeant. In 1989 he joined the Adams County, Colorado Sheriff’s Office, where he soon learned that locking a criminal up inside a jail or prison does not put him out of business. As a sheriff’s detective he investigated hundreds of crimes, including eleven contract murder conspiracies which originated “inside the walls”.
While serving on the Adams County North Metro Gang Task Force and as a member of the Colorado Security Threat Intelligence Network Group (STING), Work designed a seminar on how a criminal’s mind formulates his victim selection strategy. Over a period of six years he taught that class in sheriff’s academies and colleges throughout Colorado. He saw the world of crime both inside the walls and out on the streets.
His final experiences in the criminal law field were with the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office, where for nearly two years he investigated felonies from the defense side of the Courtroom.
Twenty-two years of observing human nature at its worst, combined with watching some profound changes in America’s culture and political institutions, provided plenty of material for his first three books. A self-published author, he just finished writing his tenth thriller.
