Reg and Jake:

There also other unknowns–both known and unknown–that make all this unpredictable for everybody in this scenario.

Everyone’s focusing rightly on the refined Uranium the Mullahs had, but they could also use other radioactive Elements to make conventional-fired “dirty bombs” that would contaminate vast areas and cause widespread…[Read more]

Reg and Jake:

The second video is accurate as far as it goes, but getting an Iranian victory from all that is something different.

The Mullahs are hurting Iran as well as their Arab, Turkyie-ish, and Cypriot neighbors on so many levels. If they close up the Strait of Hormuz, there’s no escape by sea, if Iran’s neighbors shut down airspace,…[Read more]

Joel Hodgson of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 had great fun parodying The Amazing Criswell here:

There was another skit on Microwave Faith Popcorn that I’ll try to find.

Jake,

That is a thought provoking vid from Mr. Jiang.

Loved the specificity critical thinking vid. Such basic shit and it is the kind of thing that should start in high school and continue through higher education. Goddamn i would like to know whether the common man if sufficiently exposed to that stuff would be less subject to indoctrination.…

Fellow Unbelievers:

Professor Jiang is just the latest iteration of what The Amazing Criswell was in his time:

Remember, “the future is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives, whether we want to or not.” And “The events of the future will affect you in the future.” 😁

Israel countered the blitz by requiring their pilots to do up to 3 missions a day. Not with speed as one might expect but a prescription drug.

Once we can work out AI’s non-drug hallucinations, here is task where AI could prove useful.

Jake:

Aw You’re not mindless. This mind just has different recreational interests.

My list of antisemites was also stream-of-consciousness and out of a growing number, so I knew I would miss some. Ana Kasparian can be one of the female cast of thousands.

Reg:

I would recommend buying a white flag and waving it everywhere they go. It would not be a bad idea to take off their uniforms and sell it on eBay they would get many offers from Europe and Canada and the universities.

Highest bidders would be: Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Ian Carroll, Cenk Uygur, John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Douglas…[Read more]

I am about to get bombed with letters when i tell you i like Bill Laimbeer. Oh come one I don’t want Boggs.

The only letters I have for either of these is: Who?

Anything either of them do is piddling against what the world is experiencing now.

PopeBeanie:

The commercial got me to thinking: I guess we could call this the Mullah’s Fordow Facility Final Days.

And like Ford Trucks, the Islamic Republic is Found On Road Dead and Fixed Or Repaired Daily, even though the Mullahs like to think they are First On Race Day!
😉😁😆😅😂🤣

PopeBeanie:

If we knew that the Mullahs were going to be this self-sabotaging and lash out at their Muslim co-religionists, maybe we could have just stayed home. With luck, maybe they’ll accidentally nuke themselves. 😁

I noticed the Azeri airport had Christmas decor up in the lobby. And in March? What’s up with either of those things?…[Read more]

Could this also explain a lot of other religious mania, particularly in the Middle East and Texas?:

Ancient Greece’s most famous oracle was just high on gas fumes
The Oracle of Delphi, also known as the Pythia, likely inhaled ethylene to enter her famous trance.

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.

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…
