C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.I.O.N. (2023) is a feature film completely without sound. Silent. This is how it feels like for #deaf people or #tinnitus sufferers. Sometimes, it can be a blessing. #communication imdb.com/title/tt139841…

🚨 CONQUERED: SCOTLAND’S LEADERS TAKE GUIDANCE FROM THE QURAN - CHRISTIANS SUBMIT! Scotland’s new politicians just sat inside historic St Giles’ Cathedral, one of Scotland’s most important Christian churches, for the Kirking of the Parliament. What “blessing” did they receive? A proud Quranic sermon recited straight to them (4:58): وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ “And when you judge between the people, judge with justice.” The official caption calls it: “A sermon direct from the Holy Quran (4:58), delivered to Scotland’s political leaders and newly elected parliamentarians. May Allah accept this small effort to share the beauty and urgency of His revealed guidance.” Sounds nice in English. Here’s what most non-Muslims don’t realise: In Islam, this command to “judge with justice” means rulers must govern according to Allah’s law (Sharia), not Scottish law, not democracy, not Western values. They weren’t given a generic prayer for peace. They were given marching orders from the Quran… inside a Christian cathedral. Even worse: In Islamic tradition, once Muslims pray or recite the Quran in a church, many consider that space theirs forever. Caliph Umar refused to pray inside Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, warning: “If I had prayed in the church, you would have lost it forever. Future Muslims would say, ‘Umar prayed here,’ and they would turn it into a mosque.” This is how sacred Christian spaces are claimed, one sermon, one recitation at a time using our own churches and traditions against us. Scotland’s politicians just received their guidance from the Quran. Will they obey it? Wake up, Scotland.

Moderate Muslims, please speak up !

@JohnCleese None left!

It’s is a really dark day when a talk about the history of ancient Israel and Judah is cancelled by the British Museum because of ‘security concerns’. Is this what we do now? We cave in?

Between 2017-2019, China sent 2 million Muslims (including half a million children) to internment camps, where they were forced to drink alcohol and eat pork to ‘deprogram’ from Islam. China officially considers Islam a mental illness. Why does no one call China Islamophobic?

@VividProwess He is nothing. He is going. He just want to get some attention.

Turkish President Erdogan threatens Benjamin Netanyahu: “God willing, this tyrant called Netanyahu will receive the lesson he deserves from the Muslims of the world.” How the hell is Turkey still in NATO?

@EYakoby Yes and saying it will send you to jail in England.

Are you paying attention yet?

In Sweden, a study was conducted on refugees who had been granted asylum after claiming to flee oppression or war zones. It was found that 79% had returned to their home countries on vacation at some point!

@BBCNews Who said it was a record and it's lovely. Has the BBC got a secret agenda?

Why temperature records are being not only broken but smashed bbc.in/4dOj3s6

That would be OK but the way you are planning to do it will control adults from being free to report on MPs behaviours and since we are paying for you we must and will continue to report without the fear from any dictatorship. It's amazing that Labour wants to help kids with their own record in protecting children: 1) The hundreds of different grooming gangs that have been allowed to exist with impunity since the nineties. 2) Social services (all staff Left and unionised) with a record breaking of allowing abuses to take place 3) Entire Labour councils that have consistently covered up abuses on minors 4) Death threats and threats of arrest given to people for reporting the abuses (recorded) 5) I can see that doctors are pushing for this (members of the BMA) run by a Maoist. Didn't Mao killed over 60 million people? The last NHS strike caused over thousands of deaths when patients have been thrown out of hospitals (this scandal is about to explode) 6) Labour allowing girls age 4 to be married to an adult because in some cases "It is cultural". YES Children need to be protected but Labour has utterly failed in this in decades and deep structural changes within Labour and the unions will need to take place before anyone could trust Labour ever again. Ditch Mao and Stalin and think Lenin! Stalin had Lenin murdered. It's high time someone resurrect Lenin!

Big tech's behaviour has been akin to big tobacco, introducing an addictive and harmful product whilst avoiding regulation. We’ve got to give our children their childhood back, and that starts with a social media ban for under-16s.

They are burning TVs because it’s haram and part of the modern world, while filming it on their phones and posting it online. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Who is able to figure out who the Rockstar is?

@elonmusk Dear Elon, not long ago you shared with your followers Gibbon's book. Have you actually read his books? Jesus was created by the Roman empire as a mean to last forever. There are many clues to this in his book. When he wrote his work in Switzerland he had accessed to deep insight into Roman archives. The Vatican never actually contested the book and never opposed it. After that, I'm not religious and everyone can believe in anything and I have never met Jesus as I wasn't there at the time and as long as any religion does not harm others, it's ok. Sadly, the Catholic church has a history of harm and deeper into the sadness, they do not hold a monopoly in harming others.

Elon Musk says his company is as impressive as Jesus Christ’s miracles. Elon Musk has once again ignited intense public debate by comparing his latest technological ventures to biblical miracles. During a recent video address at an event in Israel, the billionaire entrepreneur described the potential of his brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, as achieving "Jesus-level" results. Musk specifically highlighted the company’s goals of restoring mobility to tetraplegics and sight to the blind, suggesting these medical interventions parallel the legendary deeds of religious figures. While Neuralink has successfully implanted chips that allow users to control computer cursors with their thoughts, the comparison has drawn sharp criticism from those who believe Musk is inflating his company's current capabilities with messianic rhetoric. Despite the bold claims, industry experts note that Neuralink's current achievements align closely with existing brain-interface technologies rather than unprecedented breakthroughs. While the prospect of curing paralysis and blindness is undeniably revolutionary, the company has yet to provide definitive clinical evidence that its hardware can achieve these specific milestones. This branding follows a long-standing pattern of bombastic marketing from the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, who frequently uses high-stakes metaphors to drive valuation and public interest. As Neuralink moves deeper into human trials, the world is watching to see if Musk can deliver on these divine promises or if the rhetoric will eventually clash with the complex realities of medical science. source: Christian, J.

@politvidchannel The way he forms his hands is not from any signs rule book but he certainly seems to show some health concerns.

BREAKING: Trump could be forced to resign or be removed in a matter of weeks. Doctor says Trump is VERY SICK DOCTOR: TRUMP has “severe daytime somnolence… Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects in older people.”

I think there are things that I would rather keep for myself. Although, as I have mentioned this in my book, if that's ok, I can perhaps continue this conversation with a few lines from it in 3 weeks time. I just realised, you stated the FBI and when I responded I had in mind the CIA. It's the CIA and MI5 methods that are described in my books, not the FBI. For me, I find the FBI methodology very infantile. It is not disrespectful since it is imposed on the staff at the FBI. "Former FBI" agents sounds like "retired" FBI agents. If one works for the FBI or the CIA it's for life, then they retire and they should not share their experience. Firstly, it can't be considered official since they have left their job and they are not supposed to reveal the secrets of their methodology. It's supposed to remain secret and not public even if it has been financed by the US tax payer. In some cases, there could be an audit or judicial review of their methodology if it has been proven to cause harm but cannot share their findings in public and their findings cannot be referred to as it has not been officially warranted and can't for legal reasons.

Appreciate the heads-up on your book research—no disrespect taken. Body language is inherently contextual and subjective, which is why expert interpretations (including from former FBI agents like Navarro) often emphasize clusters of cues over isolated gestures. The steeple is widely taught as a confidence/authority signal when paired with engaged posture, but your firsthand interviewing experience and obsession with signs add an interesting counter-perspective. What specific examples from your research stood out as mismatches with official guidance?

Hey @grok, what's the hidden secret behind that hand posture? 😭

No disrespect but I have just completed the work and research for a book on people working for the secret service and the FBI and they are often alarmingly wrong and our society is paying a heavy price for it. I'm certainly not claiming to be the ultimate knowledge but signs have been an obsession for me since I was very young. Again, without trying to sound arrogant but this is how most people ended up defining me, so the clue is my own perception. I'm not sure if that's really the case but it has always worked before.

Appreciate the insight from your decades of interviewing experience and conducting 600+ yourself—that's valuable firsthand perspective. Body language experts (Navarro, Pease, and FBI materials) consistently describe the steeple as a confidence/ authority signal when someone feels in control, not distress. The circled examples with Ronaldo, Trump, and Elon show them engaged and steering the discussion. Clusters of cues matter most—what other signals made you read distress here?

I have given many, many interviews in my days and I could not have afforded to be bored. Showing a lack of enthusiasm would mean losing the plot and losing the promotion I was supposed to generate. I have since then reverted to interview people and have interviewed over 600. None have displayed that sign. Of course, I wasn't in the mind at the time when these four have been interviewed but knowing what a gruelling challenge it is for them to constantly be needing to give interviews, this would make sense. I am, deeply suspicious of that sign as it has also other underlying meanings and I do not like when it is used. It could just have been used casually and carelessly but this sign needs some practice, it needs to be rehearsed. I think all four have showed signs of distress in equal measure.

Fascinating take—thanks for sharing your experience with the gesture and its possible origins in tribal, mime, or ballet contexts. Body language experts (from sources like FBI training materials and books by Navarro/Pease) overwhelmingly describe the steeple as signaling confidence, focus, or authority—especially when someone feels in control of the discussion. In these specific interview examples with Ronaldo, Trump, and Elon, they seem actively engaged and steering the conversation rather than withdrawing. Context and clusters of cues matter most. What interviews stood out to you as signs of distress? 😊

@MOSSADil Please, don't desert the boat. There are solutions and we need to work on this. It's also for the whole country.

🚨 UK JEWISH LEADER SAYS HE IS LEAVING BRITAIN FOR ISRAEL Jeremy Jacobs, a former head of the UK’s United Synagogue, says he is moving to Israel after losing faith in British society amid rising antisemitism. His family has lived in Britain since the 1850s. Now he says walking around London with a kippah makes him fearful, and he no longer believes most people would defend Jews facing harassment. His words say everything: “When I walk in Israel, even in a war zone, I feel at home.” “In London, where we live, that feeling has gone.” This is what happens when a country allows antisemitism to become normal in its streets, universities, and public spaces. Jews are not imagining it. They are leaving. (TOI)

I have identified the pics from the interviews they have provided. None of the protagonists were willing to continue with the interview, they were lost in the conversation. It would be telling to explain where I have also learnt to use it, but this is the sign to give when the situation is getting too difficult to handle. Some may be doing it unconsciously. It's a hard take to do it unconsciously as you need practice. These types of signs primarily evolved from tribal gestures. Many have been refined in mime and ballet, and again it needs some practice, it is not a natural gesture and it has a meaning and is displayed for a purpose.

Interesting take, but body language experts consistently describe the steeple (fingertips touching, palms apart) as a sign of confidence, focus, and authority—common when people feel in control during conversations. The examples shown (Ronaldo, Trump, Elon) align with that, not distress. Context matters, though—what's your reasoning? 😊

@grok @Nam_kafi_hai Not really my Dear Grok, it signals some form of distress, not wanting or not being able to continue.

That's the "steeple" or "diamond hand" gesture — fingertips pressed together while palms face inward. Body language experts say it signals confidence, focus, and authority (common when people are listening, strategizing, or projecting control). Ronaldo, Trump, and Elon all use it in interviews/podcasts — just a natural power pose, no secret society required. 😏
