Some people will do anything for money. You know it, and I know it; for some, there is a price for anything and everything. Maybe a given individual will totally sell out their family, friends and loved ones for self-preservation, or maybe they’ll just turn a blind eye to pure evil for the sake of some fame and glory. Given a price, there are those who will completely and utterly degrade themselves and what they supposedly stand for as human beings, and Beyonce is one of those people.

Don’t feel too bad if you laughed. I mean come on, you just read something that’s coming across as basically saying - with a straight face - that Beyonce is the devil. It sounds like a huge stretch, and it would be if I was sincerely trying to call her Evil Incarnate personified (which might be redundant, but roll with it anyway). I won’t go that far, but I’ll let you decide what you think of her after this bit of news.

Beyonce performed for an hour on New Year's Eve at a party thrown by terror-backing Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy's son, Hannibal, who has a long record of violence against women.

Beyoncé performed five songs in a sexy black leotard at the Nikki Beach club on St. Barts in front of a crowd that included her husband Jay-Z, Usher and Lindsay Lohan.

We couldn't confirm how much Beyoncé was paid for the gig, but last year, Mariah Carey reportedly pocketed $1 million for performing at Nikki Beach.

Some vacationers on the island were aghast. DJ Sam Young tweeted: "Jigga [Jay-Z], Beyonce & Usher were @ Nikki Beach performing for Khadafy family, WTF?"

Just a week earlier, on Christmas Day, Hannibal, 33 -- also known as Moutassim -- allegedly attacked his wife, Aline Skaf, in his suite at Claridge's in London. Three of his security staff were arrested for obstructing police. Skaf was reportedly hospitalized with a broken nose while Hannibal was whisked away in a diplomatic car.

In July 2008, he and his then-pregnant wife were arrested on charges of beating their servants in a Geneva hotel. They denied the charges, which were dropped after the servants received compensation.

Hannibal was also arrested in 2005 in a Paris hotel for allegedly punching Skaf. He then allegedly brandished a 9mm handgun and went on a furniture-smashing rampage in his hotel suite. No charges were brought.

A year earlier, he led a police chase on the Champs Elysees, reaching speeds of 90 mph in his Porsche. No charges were brought after Libyan diplomats apologized. And in 2001, he allegedly attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher, but demanded diplomatic immunity.

Reps for Beyoncé and Nikki Beach did not return calls and e-mails.

Libya is a super fun place, let me tell you; its human rights record is ranked by many human rights groups, such as Freedom House, at the worst possible level. There is no freedom of speech, press, assembly, association or religion. It is illegal for independent humans rights organizations to work inside of Libya (the Red Cross, for instance). You can be arrested without being charged and you probably will be if you speak out against the government or its leaders, you can be held prisoner for as long as the regime likes (even if a jury acquits you), you can be deprived of any legal counsel and (big surprise) you can expect to be tortured if imprisoned. Homosexuality is also illegal, and punishable by five years imprisonment assuming the justice system decides to let you out after the sentence is up, which isn’t always the case.

Libya’s version of women’s rights is comically sad. Click around the internet and you’ll find apologists saying things like “Women are allowed medical care in Libya! They can own their own homes! They can vote… for the dictator, anyway!” Wow, really? “Allowed” all that? What a forward-thinking bunch, those Libyans. On the other hand, women are also liable to be incarcerated in “Protective Facilities” (correct: prisons) if they are deemed to be “vulnerable to engaging in moral misconduct." You can be sent there for anything, but if you have for instance been the victim of a rape you’ll probably be sent there for staining the family honor.

“These facilities are far more punitive than protective,” said Farida Deif, Middle East and North Africa researcher for the Women’s Rights Division of Human Rights Watch and author of the report. “How can they be called shelters when most of the women and girls we interviewed told us they would escape if they could?”

“Social rehabilitation” facilities have a distinctly prison-like character. The women and girls sleep in locked quarters and are not allowed to leave the gates of the compound. The custodians sometimes subject them to long periods of solitary confinement, occasionally in handcuffs, for trivial reasons like “talking back.” They are tested for communicable diseases without their consent upon entry, and most are forced to endure invasive virginity examinations. Some residents are as young as 16, but authorities provide no education, except weekly religious instruction.

These women and girls have no opportunity to contest their confinement in a court of law, and typically have no legal representation. The exit requirements of “social rehabilitation” facilities are in themselves arbitrary and coercive. There is no way out unless a male relative takes custody of the woman or girl or she consents to marriage, often to a stranger who comes to the facility looking for a wife.

Did I mention human rights groups are illegal in Libya?

So this is the place Beyonce went to perform because they offered her some money. It wasn’t a benefit concert or a public event of any kind, but rather a private performance for the family of the dictator that runs this barbaric system. His son sounds like a real winner, too, slugging his own wife and everything every now and then. That’s just the sort of person I can’t wait to bring entertainment to, personally, and for sweet, sweet money especially!

I won’t even begin to discuss the long history of the Libyan funding of terrorist groups as a matter of national policy, though I assure you that it’s a reality. But like I’ve always said, if you’re not entertaining people who actively fund groups that blow up commuter trains and school buses in the name of their particular religion, why even get out of bed in the morning?

I suppose if you’re the sort of individual who looks at this entire situation and has a big, fat, “So?” kind of response, then you’re not going to be moved by human suffering and misery and the undeniable knowledge that every little bit of support going into that kind of evil helps perpetuate atrocity after atrocity on innocent people. Maybe a million or so bucks sounds so great to you that it doesn’t matter how many dead, oppressed and violated men, women and children had to pay for it in blood and despair. Maybe you’d rather look the other way and entertain some of the worst people in the world today, people who cause more pain than infamous serial killers and sadistic rapists like Ted Bundy ever did or could, because it makes your precious bank account bigger.

And maybe your name also happens to be Beyonce.
