Time…..

Tree.
Two hundred years of standing.

Three-year-old
staring up,
motionless for a minute.

Neither knows
how long that minute is.

Only I do —
because I remember
when minutes mattered differently.

And yet that moment belongs
only to me.

Have a great week!

It is so wrong to abandon the Iranians to their theocracy. I was about to rant but i just can’t.

Jake:

I saw that about the chemical weapons. Not confirmed yet by Western intel but very credible given the history of chemical weapons use by adjacent forces in the Iran-Iraq War and in the Syrian Civil War.

Oh, and it turns out Trump didn’t destroy all of Iran’s fissible nuclear material:

DEADLY ARSENAL How wounded Iran could be planning…[Read more]

Enco,

Also there are reports of chemical weapons and protestors dying a few days after exposure.

Reports of the regime intending a permanent blacklout. What is true i can’t say.

Jake:

Unfortunately, last I heard last night, Trump is backing down on his “help is on the way” for Iran’s protesters, no doubt on the prompting of his Saudi and Qatari donors.

Also, the number of dead, whether formally executed or not, is as high as 20,000, and the numbers came out even before Trump announced he would help. Also, Supreme…[Read more]

i may have penned the following.

“The impact of the fall of the Iranian regime will be far bigger than most people realise. It will be a genuine “cut the head off the snake” moment.
Because once the Ayatollahs fall, the entire political ecosystem they’ve been propping up starts to collapse with them. It will instantly strip away, and I cannot…[Read more]

i am seeing so many posts condemning the lefty/propalestine regarding Iran. And it is true. It’s Captain Obvious. Equally Captain is the overall impact the lefty scum have on human rights. Shit is fucking horiffic in so many places all over the world. And nobody fucking cares who is not directly impacted. We sure aint gonna get any concern from…[Read more]

Jake:

I am hoping he and Net. are doing another end around fooled ya and ya don’t like it.

I wouldn’t give Trump that much credit in his second go-around. He’s gone from playing 4-D chess to playing mumblety-peg with tactical missiles.

I am sure he could not care less how much blood is on his hands but he damn sure cares about reputation and l…

I am hoping he and Net. are doing another end around fooled ya and ya don’t like it.

I am sure he could not care less how much blood is on his hands but he damn sure cares about reputation and legacy. If he is a big part of taking down this Islamic regime it changes history and where his feckless forbears missed the opportunity he can seize it.

Fellow Unbelievers:

I think the fat globules and pathogens in that gallon of MAHA Milk has blocked the blood flow to Trump’s brain and got him hallucinating:

I wish they’d keep those kids away. You shouldn’t hear this, kids.

Jake:

I have heard enough of her and that guy with the Young Jerks. I don’t even want to listen. Zero integrity. And i just do not believe they are as stupid as one might be led to believe.

Fret not. I did the hard work of watching so no one else had to. Part of the topic was contained in the article you linked. Perhaps I am too charitable i…[Read more]

This is disconcerting.

Enco,

I have heard enough of her and that guy with the Young Jerks. I don’t even want to listen. Zero integrity. And i just do not believe they are as stupid as one might be led to believe.

Ya know from what i gather the Iranians are the least Jew hating in all of North Africa and Middle East. And that in spite of the quotidian indoctrination…[Read more]

Jake:

To give just one example of how the dogma of Anti-Zionism/Antisemitism has just brain-rotted people, I give you this video from the The Young Turks:

On one hand, the Israeli Mossad is supposed to be infiltrating the Iranian masses and inciting the uprising against the Mullahs and Ayatollahs…[Read more]

Ideologies demand power and drain brain cells. Not only in terms of cogitation but in terms of empathy and compassion.

If the victims are in a villified group then the ideologues will be anyhwhere from indifferent to jubilant. If the victims are not in a protected or romanticized group it is indifference and even positive emotions if those…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Not a good day for Iran’s struggle for Enlightenment and Freedom. And the toll of protesters could be as high as 20,000:

Over 12,000 feared dead after Iran protests, as video shows bodies lined up at morgue

Simon…about the reply from the evangelical street hawker – He was confused  as to why I treated what he said as a subjective claim rather than an objective truth.  These people are very well versed in controlling the conversation. They can dodge the question or reply with a question and most people don’t realize this.

EG, if I say I don’t b…[Read more]

Jake:

Thanks for the missing link. Enco.

Cogito ergo Enco.

Well, thanks, but all I did was merely pass along the Atheist Republic link. It’s all that I can do in my position.

Armin and friends are the ones to thank more for doing happy warrior work by monitoring Iran’s uprising for hours at a time. As a Canadian of Iranian descent, Armin…[Read more]
