🇺🇸 UPDATE: San Diego Mosque Shooting The two shooters have been identified. Cain Clark, 17. Caleb Velasquez, 18. They met online. Attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego on the first day of Dhul Hijjah, one of the holiest periods in the Islamic calendar. They livestreamed it. FBI recovered a manifesto. 30 firearms and a crossbow seized from two residences. They reportedly had a "broad hatred toward a lot of folks." Clark's grandfather, 78-year-old David Clark: "We're very sorry for what happened. We know as much as you do. It's a shock."


There is zero reason to be upset about Helen of Troy being cast as a black woman. Except racism. There is no “historical accuracy” in a myth. Helen is not a real person. The requirements for Helen are to be extraordinarily beautiful and that more than describes Lupita.



@ippotisorthodox For someone who’s so defensive of “Greek Culture”, you certainly don’t have much respect for the Greek oral tradition of storytelling.





How ottomans created Janissaries out of Christian children: torture and reprogramming This is how it worked: 1. Collection and Initial Separation Ottoman officials (often Janissary officers) arrived in villages periodically (every 3–7 years) and demanded lists of eligible boys from local priests or leaders. Selected boys were forcibly taken from their families amid widespread grief and resistance—parents sometimes hid sons, bribed officials, circumcised them early to make them appear Muslim (and thus exempt), or even mutilated them to disqualify them. Refusal could lead to punishment for families. 2. Transport and Initial Indoctrination Boys were grouped (often 100–150 per levy), dressed in distinctive red clothing for identification, and marched to ottoman centers under strict guard to prevent escape. During transport, they were isolated from Christian influences. 3. Forced Conversion to Islam Upon arrival (or sometimes earlier), conversion happened immediately and was mandatory: - Circumcision: Performed publicly or in groups as a physical marker of entry into Islam (often painful and traumatic, especially if done without anesthesia or explanation). - Recitation of the Shahada: Boys were tortured in order to profess the Islamic declaration of faith - Renaming: Given new Muslim/Turkish names to replace Christian ones, symbolizing the erasure of their past identity. 4. Assimilation and Cultural/Religious Indoctrination After conversion, boys were placed with Turkish-Muslim families in Anatolia for 3–5 years (or longer). There, they: - Learned Turkish (forbidden to speak Greek or other native languages). - Adopted Islamic practices (prayer, fasting, customs). - Worked as agricultural laborers or servants to build physical endurance and break ties to their origins. This phase aimed to make them forget family, Christianity, and ethnic roots through immersion, discipline, and hard labor. A manufacturing line of child torture and barbaric reprogramming.. can you imagine the pain of the parents? Can you imagine the souls of those children? (To be continued)

Be intolerant. Intolerance is key to survival




Turns out the Indian guy who killed Henry had his entire family show up to ridicule him as he choke on his on blood. "You're fine, you're drunk, no one stabbed you bro" as they sit there watching him die. Then the police show up and they go "he was racist to my son!" The police, who should be in jail, ARREST HENRY AS HE PLEADS WITH THEM FOR MEDIAL ATTENTION. These people are sick. They cannot and do not deserve to live in the 1st world.



l think a lot of millennial women are quietly grieving a life they thought they'd have by now.
