Iranian Dissident Rapper Sentenced To Death
Kittens Are Jerks posted a topic in Israel, Palestine and the Middle-East
Iranian Dissident Rapper Sentenced To Death Iranian dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi, who was among the icons of Iran’s 2022 protests, has been sentenced to death on charge of “spreading corruption on earth.” A revolutionary court in Tehran has issued the verdict, Amir Raisian told SharghDaily on Wednesday. “Spreading corruption on earth,” along with "Moharebeh," is the highest crime in Iranian law and it is punishable by death. https://www.iranintl.com/en/202404240714 What an absolutely despicable regime. I truly feel sorry for its citizens. -

Democrats Introduce Resolution to Strip Trump of Secret Service Protection if Convicted and Jailed
aquatus1 replied to Steve McGarrett's topic in United States and the Americas
People either think Trump is never going to spend a single night in jail and people thinking he's going to be sent to Riker's Max. If he goes to jail, he's going to a country club jail where secret service would be irrelevant. Technically, he should be going to Leavenworth, but that's not going to happen. -
New evidence found for Planet 9

If scientists are able to detect planets around distant solar system how are they not able to find a planet in our own solar system? Maybe an expert could enlighten me. -

Labour is now the true party of English patriotism (Sunday Telegraph)
Duke Wellington replied to pellinore's topic in UK and Europe
Just remember people, this poster claimed to be a Tory supporter. Right there he has attacked a liberal Keynesian populist PM (Boris), a a right-wing capitalist PM (Truss), and a pro-business centralist (Sunak). He has just attacked the whole political spectrum in one go that exists within the Conservative Party while going on to tare down cabinet ministers. He is in no way, shape, or form a Tory. He also has an issue with Brexit. His actual alignment is with the Labour Party or Liberal Democrats. -

So? We have it as the English national flag, its our symbol, culture, and identity. You can cherry pick looking for all kinds of people, what do the cherry picked have to do with the rest of the population? -
Tucker Carlson claims that UFOs are piloted by 'spiritual entities'
Resume replied to UM-Bot's topic in Extraterrestrial Life and The UFO Phenomenon
In the same interview, Carlson also rejected evolution. https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/tucker-carlson-completely-dismisses-darwins-theory-of-evolution-citing-no-evidence-with-joe-rogan-its-not-a-new-idea/ Sigh, the "still a theory" shibboleth. https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/darwin/evolution-today/what-is-a-theory This is why I think Carlson is FoS; he's not that stupid and is pandering to the lowest common denominator of his audience. -

Sadhguru on understanding the nature of mental illness....
Liquid Gardens replied to Ajay0's topic in Spirituality, Religion and Beliefs
That's only the goal if you find the pain from impermanence of 'sense-pleasures' intolerable. I've had many pleasures where the good vastly outweighed the pain so it was overall a positive. I've got nothing against just sitting safely on the beach enjoying the peace of the rhythm of the waves on the shore, but some of us would rather get out there and surf. I don't personally look to monks as sources of overall 'wisdom'. Maybe they have achieved some sort of bliss which is good for them, but everything has opportunity costs. - Today

Old Louisiana courthouse sees reports of 'unexplainable' occurrences
Kittens Are Jerks replied to UM-Bot's topic in Ghosts, Hauntings and The Paranormal
My brothers once conducted a rather elaborate cleansing ritual to rid our home of an 'evil entity'. Not to brag or anything, but one perk of being both Jewish and Christian is having that much more in the way of fire power. In addition to holy water, my brothers armed themselves with a homemade crucifix, the Star of David, a bottle of olive oil, and a jar of strawberry jam. In case you didn't know, demons and other evil entities love jam, so a good way to neutralize them is to distract them with their favourite sweet treat (it's an old Jewish superstition). The 'evil entity' my brothers were trying to neutralize, by the way, was me and their efforts backfired. They were grounded and I was taken out for ice cream. I was really young at the time, and although I knew a little something about the other items, I could not figure out the olive oil. My understanding now is that it's not the oil itself, but the intent behind it. Am I correct in this? -

Shoigu's deputy Ivanov is suspected of treason, say “Important Stories” The real reason for the arrest of Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov is treason, two unrelated sources close to the FSB told Important Stories. “A bribe is for the public. So far they don’t want to talk publicly about treason - it’s a big scandal: after all, the Deputy Minister of Defense,” said one of the interlocutors. “No one would have detained him for corruption. Everyone there [in the Kremlin] knew about this for a long time. Putin gave the command after he managed to convince us that this was precisely a matter of treason,” another source claims. “Now they are deciding what to do with him: either they will jail him for a bribe and “finish off” him in the zone, or reclassify the charge as treason,” the source said. https://t.me/pilotblog/11565 -

At night, SBU drones attacked oil refineries in the Smolensk region and Voronezh UAVs also attacked the Lipetsk Tractor Plant, which produces, among other things, chassis for military equipment.
