It would be kinda hard for Japanese tourists to carry a Super-Kamiokande while visiting Disney. 😉😁

Seriously, that was a ton of new learning in 8 minutes. They never taught in public school that light has different speeds going through different media. Not to mention that public schools teach little about subatomic particles other…[Read more]

Enco,

I could not get the first link. I suspect the second is related to enemy of my enemy but just a guess.

I wonder how the prop bets odds are for overthrow regime and what form of government in its wake?

Both links worked from my end. Try again.

“The enemy of an enemy” still makes no sense to me because as the history of Jews and…[Read more]

Lots of talk and ink about sleeper cells and lone wolves.

So far it is major minor and probably in keeping with general rate of Islamic terrorism. As to whether it will become a major factor i can’t say but it would be a bad move from perspective of Muslim Brotherhood.

The Bros are Sunni. Islamic Iran is Shia but they both hate the west, US…[Read more]

Now I’m confused. The President of Kurdistan offered his condolences on the death of Khamenei. Does this mean an internecine civil war among Kurds?

LOL, I knew I was chancing that you’d respond like that. She sounds clueless, but I haven’t heard the full context yet. I think she’s smarter than that, and definitely smarter than what some people want us to believe.

If nothing else, it shows how little contact she has with her constituents.

The news story did mention the shoot…

In terms of cultish behavior, in this case theocratic, it struck me that what’s left of Iranian decision making has fallen back to beliefs that “everyone must be thinking just like us and should therefore know”, that we have the right to punish entire countries in OUR region, just for having hints of strong alliance with USA… EVEN as those…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Lest anyone forget, it was the Israelis, not the Orange Man, who killed Khamenei and his key enforcers. This could have happened sooner if Trump hadn’t restrained Israel during the 12 Day war. While this also regrettably included members of Khamenei’s family, Khamenei was the one who dragged them along for the crazy train…[Read more]

The following is almost 15 minutes long, but imo is at least worth a skim. (Check out the lightning in the beginning.)

Nice summary. I should admit now, I’m a fan of Jasmine, although I see her now becoming more adept at flashing political cliche’s during her campaign. But the GOP is still ten times more “intentionally naive” about ignoring their King’s openly naked lies and other transgressions.

I too am hoping that this works out for the freedom of the Iranian people and an end to the Islamist tyranny ruling Iran. I am hoping it happens despite the demented senility of Trump and his administration.

It looks to me like what’s left of Iranian “leadership” is in suicide mode, whether intentionally acting self-destructively or not. IMO the lower echelons seem to be in some kind automatic (aka “brain dead”) response mode, repeatedly shooting themselves in their feet.

They managed to get other countries involved that said outright that they were…[Read more]
