US intel said to indicate Iran could strike ‘Israeli soil’ in next 24 to 48 hours
Kittens Are Jerks replied to Kittens Are Jerks's topic in Israel, Palestine and the Middle-East
Unguided bombs delivered by smart aircraft can be just as accurate as precision-guided munitions. All you need is a precise delivery system and bingo! Unguided bombs are also ideal for use in already cleared locations, and in situations where obstacles prevent laser-guided deliveries. In scenarios where fleeting targets don't allow for the process of obtaining coordinates for GPS-guided weapons, a pilot with a precise delivery system can quickly reach the target before it disappears. Check it out: The SPICE (Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective) — an Israeli-developed, EO/GPS- guidance kit used for converting unguided bombs into precision-guided bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_(bomb) How's that for an interesting justification for war crimes? Wait. What? lol -

Old Louisiana courthouse sees reports of 'unexplainable' occurrences

Ceremonial and a short cut to the paranormal, a bad short cut. They'd be better being straight with the ceremony because all drugs do is distort reality and the other realm. -
Why The Crusades Were Awesome, Actually

Erm.... the first Crusade was against Christians and Jews in its early stages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Crusade.) and later ones also were against "heretics." -
The Phoenicians, Atlantis, and the Richat Structure
Duke Wellington replied to Thanos5150's topic in Ancient Mysteries and Alternative History
When Plato talks about Atlantis along with islands allowing travel to the mountains on the opposite side of the ocean which surround the world, to me that his also the Greeks displaying an awareness of the Americas. Not only that, but going both west and east to reach them. So who explored them? Where did knowledge of them come from? -

The Phoenicians, Atlantis, and the Richat Structure
Kenemet replied to Thanos5150's topic in Ancient Mysteries and Alternative History
Then your best search is among artifacts dated earlier than 4000 BCE. Not geography. You will need widely distributed artifacts that are from the same source and appear at Athens and other Greek cities as well as in Egypt and the Middle East, being that Atlantis was supposedly an empire that controlled the area. -
Cosmic rays streamed through Earth's atmosphere 41,000 years ago
Doc Socks Junior replied to Waspie_Dwarf's topic in Earth, Disasters and the Environment
The so named Mono Lake excursion around 33 ka, or the excursion that is found near Mono Lake? My considered opinion is that there are two separate magnetic events around 33 ka and around 41 ka. The latter is Laschamps. The former was (and still is) known as Mono Lake, but the date of the record there is suspect. I think there are enough radiometric dates to argue for them as separate events. And they're seen in series in continuous marine cores (with "regular" behavior in between).- 29 replies

Religion pulled apart by Dan Barker
eight bits replied to pellinore's topic in Spirituality, Religion and Beliefs
Nothing in the post to which you linked depends on the Q hypothesis being true. In any case, the Q hypothesis posits a common written source for portions of Matthew and Luke, not Matthew and Mark. As to direct copying, indeed, the leading alternative to the Q hypothesis (an alternative often called the Farrer hypothesis) posits Luke having copied portions of Matthew directly rather than using any intermediate document that Matthew had also used. Regardless, it is general consensus nowadays that both Matthew and Luke copied other material from Mark. In a different post recently I asked another poster for her views on the synoptic problem. I don't recall stating mine in that post. In posing the question, I probably used some phrase like Q sayings, which refers to sayings of Jesus and John the Baptist found in both Matthew and Luke but not found in Mark - that is, a reference to the subject matter of the Q hypothesis and not any claim about the truth or falsehood of the hypothesis. -
Why The Crusades Were Awesome, Actually
Hankenhunter replied to OverSword's topic in Palaeontology, Archaeology and History
Lol, that's a lot of scaling down. The city's plans anticipated a population of 9 million (25% of Saudi Arabia's then population of 35.5 million)[4] and were later scaled down to 300,000 people.[5] Originally intended to be 170km, it was scaled down to 2.4km.[6] -
Why censorship is practiced on social media.
Gromdor replied to Hawken's topic in United States and the Americas
Oh dear lord. I know you are Paranoid Android, your speaking (typing) style is fairly distinct. Did your views on censorship change when you changed your name? You used to be a die hard advocate in the belief that "Main stream media is being manipulated to provide a narrative." and always complained about it. Now we have a trial where it was spelled out in step by step detail how Trump used a media outlet for years (if not decades) to manipulate media into providing a narrative and now you are all of a sudden pro-censorship. -

I admit to ignorance.. as with most things I only seem to have a simple outline sort of picture. I’m willing to learn more.. basically an Abrahamic religions family feud? A fight for dominance in and possession of the ‘holy land’ ? Is it over yet? Did anybody win? -
Tucker Carlson claims that UFOs are piloted by 'spiritual entities'
Trelane replied to UM-Bot's topic in Extraterrestrial Life and The UFO Phenomenon
That's not Dan Quayle and that picture was in Baghdad, not in the White House. Rumsfeld was acting as a special envoy in the Reagan administration in 1983 for this photo op. So yeah, no. US policy was to leverage the Iraqi military to act as buffer with the newly installed Ayatollah in Iran after the Iranian Revolution of '79. Iraq wasn't sitting on anything that we weren't already getting from the Saudis, so yeah no. Do better. -

You would support a news agency reporting that Joe Biden had an illegitimate child, despite a total lack of evidence???? I doubt that! You're trying to bring irrelevant topics into this discussion. I don't even know what you are referring to, whether you are speaking of me specifically, or whether this is a commentary on how media reported the news, or what? -

Matthew copied Mark and those teachings in Matthew came from a non-Jewish source so I vote the Q existed as a book of wisdom sayings. -

Man sets himself on fire outside Trump trial courthouse
Link of Hyrule replied to OverSword's topic in United States and the Americas
For the purpose of a discussion on this topic, the difference does not matter. Touche I retract that claim, I was in error. Thanks for helping me elucidate my feelings. It's more correct to say his views are synonymous with crazy people. Even the left wing newspapers are saying that his politics are neutral. His decision to set himself on fire in context of a Trump trial was for the media coverage, not as a statement of support for Trump. I'm not trying to say he's a left winger. To me he is a crazy person with no political affiliation. However, I seem to be responding to people here on UM who seem to be trying to say he's a right winger with right wing beliefs, at least one has taken it a step further and called him a MAGA man ("one of your ilk" he was called in response to and-then's post in another topic). The people on the left are the ones trying to pigeon hole him as a Trumper, I'm simply pointing out that if we had to follow a paper trail the evidence would support the opposite conclusion to the ones they have arrived at. -
100 gallon tank water disappeared over night

I'll go 50/50 on the paranormal here. Best natural guess is hole in the floor. But the tank should leak quickly again. Switching to 65/35 in favor or the paranormal.
