ENG 1151 Week 6

The reading “Jordan’s King Among Leaders Accused of Amassing Secret Property Empire” shows how King Abdullah was among 35 current and former leaders to use secret shell companies to hide their wealth. Then as the reading goes on it also shows how the King was accused of using shell companies to buy 15 properties. They were worth more than $100 million. Mostly in Southeast England, Washington D.C., and in Malibu. The journalist is certainly doing it’s job as a watchdog because they are showing how the King is being exposed to hiding his wealth from various different countries. The 15 properties were registered to be in the Caribbean. There were claims against him that showed 300 public officials that used shell companies to disguise their wealth. The first amendment is not “Fake News.” In the reading Facebook took down Donald Trump’s account and wanted to either suspend him permanently or let him back. Then Trump released a statement and called Facebook’s ruling as an insult. This was to the 75 million people who voted for him in the election in 2020.
