Organised crime controls some of our planet’s most environmentally critical landscapes. The jungles of south-east Asia, forests of west Africa and the rainforests of central and south America are some of the planet’s largest carbon sinks and key to our climate future. This equatorial line also correlates to the world’s major drug trafficking routes. Where the illicit drug trade thrives so does corruption, because prohibition is the mother of organised crime.

The illicit drugs trade is worth approximately $650bn a year, more than pharmaceuticals, gold and crude petroleum. Organised crime groups use these profits to bribe, intimidate and control police, governments and judiciaries, to ensure drugs get from A to B. From rural police officers to heads of state are complicit.

Ivan's new character Mr. Delaney talking to Rosa Salazar's Katie in 'Wedding Season' (coming 8 September to Disney+) gives me the vibes of his drug baron Polo Yakur in 'Assassination Games' (2011) & of his King Aelle of Northumbria striving to defend his kingdom, culture & family in 'Vikings' (2013-2017). 👑 Just that this is a comedy. 😄 Can't wait to see who he resembles most - my bets are on Polo. 😉 What do you think?

Tired of seeing fic on ao3 claiming to be based off dune the book series when it’s very obvious that the writer has only seen dune the movie(s).

Yes, it matters. Yes, these are very different works. You’re probably doing this for visibility; I don’t care. Archive Of Our Own is a fucking archive, stop labeling your works with a tag you know is factually incorrect. It makes it impossible for me to filter for fics I want to read.

#ao3 #dune #dune books #dune messiah #written because I’ve seen so many fics claiming to be based off the book who have no idea who Alia is #like girl! that’s my girl!!! #if your fic doesn’t contain Alia The Murderous Toddler then I don’t want it in my house in my home in my life #also the fight between feyd and paul went so differently in the books vs the movie. like it’s barely even an obstacle for Paul in the books #the differences are subtle in fic but really obvious if you’re expecting to see one thing and then all of a sudden it’s something else #(did I just describe all of fic? yes. but I hope y’all know what I mean. we are working off of different canon baselines) #seriously Alia is 15 pounds soaking wet three year old child. and she kills the baron . for fun… #also the fremen are not prudes. most people get this. but really neither is the rest of the empire??? I mean the harkonens obviously were. #.like that.. but also I get the feeling that no one else really cared #I’m only on the second book so I could be wrong. but from here it seems like the dune universe has a very fluid understanding of gender and #and sexuality. and polyamory. and drug use. #shout out to face changers gotta be one of my favorite genders btw #anyway. ugh. #long rant is long

“ Corruption is a cancer, a cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy.” — Joe Biden

“Prince Charles accepted carrier bag full of cash as a charity donation from Qatar ex-PM, claims Sunday Times.” (sky news: 26/06/22)

Although not illegal, accepting bags of cash from someone with a dubious human rights record who has business interests in the UK raises serious ethical questions.

Charles had been accepting huge cash donations – in suitcases and carrier bags - from the Qatar ex-PM since 2011.  Accused of torturing a British citizen, the ex-PM who has been described as “the man who bought London” was granted immunity by the British courts.

“The former prime minister of Qatar will not face trial for the alleged torture of a British citizen after the London High Court on Monday awarded him immunity from prosecution.”  (Middle East Eye: 15/02/16)

Obviously, the granting of immunity from prosecution had nothing to do with the bags and suitcases full of cash handed to King Charles over the years.

Another scandal involving Charles and bundles of cash involve a Saudi billionaire.

Prince Charles ‘cash-for-honours’ scandal grows with fresh allegations.” (Guardian: 19/09/21)

The chief executive of Charles' charity, The Princes Foundation, resigned after allegations were made that he offered Saudi businessman help in securing a knighthood and British citizenship in exchange for donations.

Only days before the above headline we had:

“Prince Charles’s charities investigated over controversial donation from Russian banker."  (Independent: 12/09/21)

In the same article it was revealed that:

“The heir to the throne wrote a fulsome thank you letter to Dmitry Leus last year after the 51-year-old banker donated £535,000 to The Prince’s Foundation and offered to meet him in person once the pandemic lockdown was over."

The Mail Online claimed that Mr Leus, a man with a conviction for money laundering, was hoping that the "Princes Foundation would support claim for UK residency."  Mr Leus, also donated  £25,000 to Dominic Raab’s constituency while Raab was Foreign Secretary. 

Initially the Metropolitan Police refused to investigate the cash-for-honours scandal surrounding The Princes Foundation but by February 2022, under sever press pressure, the Met decided to launch an investigation. Needless to say, the Prince had nothing to worry about.

Yesterday we were informed:

"Met police end cash for honours inquiry into King Charles charity.”  (The Times: 21/08/23)

Norman Baker, former Liberal Democrat minister said:

“…the suspicion must be that no action is being taken because of the nature of the potential offender, rather than a proper assessment of the potential crime.” (Guardian: 21/08/23)

He went on to state that an official inquiry “would have offended important people” and therefore he was not surprised the police investigation had been call off.

Speaking of the earlier scandal involving suitcases and bags being stuffed full of cash and being handed to King Charles he said:

“ (This) was what one might expect from a South American drug baron, not the heir to the British throne.”

He has a point.

Remington "Ripslinger" Tornado Richthofen

⚠️TW! This backstory contains mentions of deaths, abuse, trauma, and War.⚠️

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

Ripslinger was born in Germany as he was the son of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (Known as The Red Baron) and his mother Bella Delacroix. He is half French and German. His father and his mother would fight every single day, his brother Zip is the absolute WORST brother and he's the littlest, and his brother Thunderstruck is his older brother who is messed up in the head, but not that crazy.

His father keeps pushing him to become a soldier to off the American. His mother was trying to get her husband, she doesn't like him like she used to. Then one day Manfred finally snapped, and he "killed" Bella.

By the time when Ripslinger turned eighteen he was part of War that Skipper and Dusty's father: Kenny Crophopper were gonna be part of a war, when the war started, Kenny was killed by Ripslinger, his father told him to aim and fire.

Skipper couldn't believe it when he saw his best friend get killed. A bullet in the brain, Ripslinger needed therapy after that.

After the war and the abuse that he had to live with and for the rest of his life. He ran away from Germany, he arrived in Minnesota, he changed his name and looks. And he became a racer for the racing commission, and when a certain person reminded him the same last name.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

Dialogue:

Ripslinger: *Posing as he puts on a cocky smile and gives in the new attitude* Ladies, Ladies, there's enough of me to go around~!

Zed: *Whispers* Ey, boss?

Ripslinger: *Irritated* Yes, Zed...

Ned: We have another racer who is a tractor with wings.

Ripslinger: And?

Zed: We believe his name is... What...? Rusty? Dusty! Dusty Crophopper! Yeah, Dusty Crophopper!

*Ripslinger's eyes shot open instantly with shock and then flashbacks of him killing his father Kenny Crophopper*

Ripslinger: *Mind* H-He's the last Crophopper...

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

Yeah, he was basically screwed and scared if he told anyone about him killing his father.

Gladiator | Feyd Rautha x Reader

REQUEST: Feyd-Rautha fights in the arena, hoping to win your favor and maybe even your hand.

Warnings: violence

REQUESTS ARE OPEN!

Feyd-Rautha didn’t know why your face was the only one he seemed able to pick out of the crowd. Out of all the eligible daughters the Houses had thrown at him, you were the one he couldn’t get out of his head. Deep down, he knew he should consider himself lucky for the privilege to have a say in his marriage, but most of the heiresses he had encountered did little to interest him and he had grown more than bored of the whole ordeal.

Until he was presented with you.

He had known little of your family, and he hadn’t cared to learn more. You had been from far away, and your culture was probably far different from his own. Perhaps it was arrogance that had fueled his initial disinterest, his ego rearing its ugly head. He had seen you and assumed you were boring and prudish, based on your style of clothing, and had initially been beyond irritated when you were offered up before him. He had cursed his uncle the Baron, and nearly killed the nearest servant. He had wanted nothing more than to be as far away from you as possible, exhausted and annoyed after a week of meeting princess after princess, all of whom he had rejected.

Why, then, had he become intrigued by you? Had it been the way you looked at him with such boredom, as if he had nothing to offer you? Had it been the information that he was simply one in a long list of suitors you were slogging through, much in the way he had been for what felt like an age? Or had it been the sudden revelation that you had more in common with him than he had thought possible, and the sudden knowledge that if he wished to catch your eye, tradition dictated he must show you a spectacular fight and defeat every other man whose goal was your hand in marriage?

“It is the way of her people,” Rabban had shrugged, oblivious to the way Feyd’s world was slowly being turned on its head. “I have heard that they were fighting long before House Harkonnen built our first arena.”

Now, Feyd-Rautha was stalking back and forth through the sand, thinking of all the ways he could slaughter his competition. He was one of ten, ten suitors, none of whom were drugged or weak from starvation the way his quarry on Giedi Prime always was. As he glared at the opponents around him, he knew that you were watching from the stands, in a luxurious box with your parents and ladies in waiting, and when a glance in your direction confirmed his suspicions, he was overcome with the desire to kill for you.

He had never felt that before. He was plenty familiar with the urge to maim, to slice and tear, to take lives—but he had never wanted to do it for another person. His darlings, in a sense, garnered that from him when he killed servants to feed them…but this was different. That was a life taken as a gift and a means to spoil them. This was a fight to the death, a way to prove himself to you…and for some strange reason, he wanted—no, needed—to succeed.

“Today we gather in the ancestral arena of our great House to honor a tradition which we have kept alive for one thousand generations!” A voice boomed. “Today, the Great Houses send their sons to fight for the hand of my daughter, and should they be so lucky, one will win her favor!”

Feyd-Rautha glanced at his nearest competitor, a round-faced man who was far too old to be marrying you. He knew the man thought he was safe; they had all received a speech on the importance of not actually killing each other, but Feyd had had no interest in listening nor adhering to the rules. If he was to truly win your hand, he knew he must make a grisly spectacle of himself. He had gone so far as to fight shirtless, so as to show you his smooth, unscarred skin, and display his enemies’ blood upon his flesh.

“Now, warriors…do battle!”

You watched from above as the fight commenced.

“I like the looks of that Halleck boy,” your mother commented as she peered through her positively ancient opera glasses.

Your eyes found the one she spoke of and you sighed. “He favors his right leg. He will not last.”

Your father plopped down in the throne next to you, a hearty laugh booking from his chest. “That’s my girl. Ever the strategist, with the sharpest eye in the known universe. Tell us, then, who do you predict will win? We can make a bet on it.”

“I hardly think gambling is appropriate on today of all days.” Your mother shot him a glare.

He only laughed louder.

“I like the Harkonnen.” You said, watching as Feyd-Rautha drove a blade into another man’s shoulder.

Your mother made a tutting noise. “He is…”

“Bloodthirsty,” your father offered.

“Yes,” you said, somewhat transfixed. “He is.”

Your eyes followed Feyd-Rautha’s every move, glued to his form as he lithely parried and dodged his opponents’ attacks. He was a surprisingly welcome sight after the many suitors you’d turned your nose up at, and while he had initially bored you just as the rest had, there was something in his demeanor that had piqued your interest.

Upon meeting, you had both been irritated and more than ready to stay unmarried forever. You had heard that Feyd-Rautha had also been meeting potential suitors, and if the rumor mill was correct, he had nearly killed more than one of them. When you had first laid eyes upon the pale, hairless Harkonnen heir, you had immediately decided that you might give this one a chance; many of the others you had met had seemed ill suited, abhorred by the concept of fighting for your hand in an archaic ritual. Feyd-Rautha, however, had changed when he had heard, shifting from disinterested to focused, his dark eyes gleaming with excitement at the prospect of a duel.

Now, he was stalking through the sand below you, wielding wickedly sharp hunting knives as he attacked a competitor from behind. He wasn’t above fighting dirty, you noted, his blackened teeth bared as he head butted another man. Only six remained including him, the other four having given up or lying unconscious at the feet of their opponents.

“He’s going to kill someone!” Your father exclaimed, his voice gleeful.

“And what a diplomatic nightmare that will be,” your mother mumbled.

You weren’t sure if Feyd-Rautha had truly taken any lives so far that afternoon, but as he drove a knife into the gut of another fighter, you surmised that your mother may be spending the rest of her day smoothing things over with and paying off the families of some of these men.

You watched, smiling to yourself as they all fell, one by one, into groaning, bloodied heaps in the sand, until only one remained on his feet. Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen was the victor, as you had hoped he’d be, and as the crowd erupted into a roar of cheers, you stood.

Your parents watched you carefully.

“Are you certain?” Your mother asked.

“Do you have any objections?” You countered.

“…none whatsoever.”

You turned to your father. “And you, Father?”

He shrugged, leaning his chin on his hand. “I quite like the boy. He will make for an interesting match.”

“Then it is settled,” you sucked in a breath, steeling yourself before turning and walking to the stairs.

In the arena, Feyd-Rautha was drinking in the sounds of an entertained crowd. He could put on a show anywhere, it seemed, and if he had been at all concerned by leaving Giedi Prime to fight on your planet, they were long forgotten. His blood was still boiling, chest heaving as attendants began collecting his fallen foes, of whom more than a few sported serious, possibly life threatening injuries. And after he had struck each one down, he had glanced up to find you there, watching him.

The crowd hushed suddenly, and Feyd-Rautha saw that it was because you were approaching him, stepping over your battered suitors without so much as a glance down at them. Your eyes remained focused on him, never leaving, boring into his form as he straightened up and faced you.

“Feyd-Rautha,” you greeted him.

“Princess.”

“You fought well.”

“Thank you.”

You smirked at him. “You hope to gain my favor, do you not?”

“I had hoped for your token, yes,” he admitted, watching you with those dark, intelligent eyes.

“A token, or my hand?” You asked.

“I will take whatever you see fit to bless me with, princess.”

With a sly smile, you closed the gap between you, pressing a hand to his chest. He felt warmth there, and when you pulled away, the roar of the crowd returned and he looked down to see a crimson handprint on his skin.

“Congratulations, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen,” you said, your voice cutting below the cheering of your people in the stands above. “We are now engaged.”

With that simple statement, you turned on your heel and left.

It was foolish to turn one’s back to a Harkonnen, especially Feyd-Rautha, but you both knew he would never do anything to you. Not now. Not when his eyes refused to leave your retreating form. Not when his heart thudded in his chest excitedly. Not when he knew he suddenly had a wife, one for whom he would kill anything and anyone.
