never been more sexy and attractive to vulnerable females, and no less deadly
to all, including ourselves.

"Some Afghans, who
were close to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, approached me and my mates at the
mosque," he said. "They suggested we go to Syria to help defend the
Shia holy shrines from Daesh," he added, using an acronym for the previous
name of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS). "They said we'd get
passports and have an easy life afterwards. We'd be like Iranian citizens and
could buy cars, houses..." Amir – a Shia Afghan recruit who fought
for the regime in Syria. As the five-year
conflict in Syria grinds on, BBC Persian has found evidence that Iran is
sending thousands of Afghan men to fight alongside Syrian government forces.
The Deliricon
Trumbuktu: An
alternate reality where white people are the Christian masters of all other
races, on earth and across the Universe, and where all these other races are
happy with their lot, serving their deserving masters with joy and contentment,
willingly building the required separation walls and trenches to help the White
Race preserve its divine purity.

ShortFangs could
have looked like on the basis of available descriptions.

Berniela: An alternate
reality better described in John Lennon’s song “Imagine,” and better embodied
in Charles Manson’s vision of Helter Skelter.
Boris ShortFangs: A mythical
British court jester who dared dream of becoming king. He inflated his ego and
further reduced the size of his brain and heart, and some say even his hands,
but, ironically enough, not his hair, and that, according to some versions of
the tale, was enough for him to, at least, qualify for the run to become head of
the state, albeit one that was far diminished by his presence, both physically
and morally. These were the worst of times.
Feardogan: According to
Turkish mythology, the Feardogan is a ghoul who seeks to inspire fear in
the people around him but ends up inspiring ridicule instead. His looks, his
attitude and the way he takes himself seriously all combine to make him look
ridiculous. And though a creature like him may not afford to look ridiculous,
considering that lives in that infamously dangerous part of the jungle, Holybush,
there is little that he can do about that. He keeps on trying, he keeps on
failing. He keeps on flailing in anger and disappointment, and the world keeps
on laughing.
A Kaleidoscopic Fuck: A
type of cluster fuck where the main actors, fuckers and fucked alike, come from
diverse backgrounds, have different reasons for participation in the act, albeit
consent is neither assumed nor necessary in this situation, and expect
different outcomes from the experience.
The Delirica
The Indifferent
Watchman: The
Assad Files “Capturing the top-secret documents that tie the Syrian regime to mass
torture and killings.” Or, to put it more provocatively though no less
accurately: Syria
war crimes investigators amass strongest evidence 'since Nuremberg' against
Bashar al-Assad. And yet, somehow, in the midst of discussing the situation
in Syria, President Barak Obama managed to find a
particular moment of which he was proud. Nothing in his rhetoric on Syria
suggests an awareness of the enormity of the situation or any sympathy with the
people involved. Even when he tried to do an internal stock taking of his
failures: it was
Libya that he worried about and sounded apologetic. The situation in Libya
is bad of course, and that in Yemen is worse, but the situation in Syria is
worst of all, and yet, apparently, Mr. Obama has no reason to be sorry in this
regard, and only moments where he could be proud.

The
Great Rattling of Heavily Circumcised Penises under the Influence of Viagra:
It’s a traditional sport for the Good Old Bad Boys Society in our
increasingly globalized region, and has been in vogue since times immemorial.
But as the toys keep growing in size and potency, as natural mechanism for compensation,
one cannot but wonder how will it all end. More specifically, the question on
everyone’s minds these days is this: will it be another mini Armageddon, a
somewhat or a much larger one, or even: The One?
IRGC
to stage major maneuvers in southeast Iran: Cmdr. But of course! After all,
Saudi Arabia just did it. And the rattling of heavily circumcised penises
continues.
This
is the advanced Russian helicopter that just crashed in Syria. This is what
rattling your toys vigorously gets you.
Saudi
Arabia leads surge in arms imports by Middle East states “Saudi imports
up 275% in five years, with UK firms estimated to have sold £5.6bn of arms to
the country, while imports by European states down 41%”
Saudi-Egyptian deal
on Red Sea islands sparks anger. The main goal behind the deal between
Saudi and Egypt is to construct a bridge connecting the two countries and the
African and Asia continents. But why? The timing of the development seems to
suggest that comes as a reflection of Saudi Arabia increasing security concerns
in regard to Iranian expansionism, and its rulers’ ongoing efforts to create a
reginal Sunni alliance The King’s subsequent
visit to Turkey comes as an additional demonstration of this. As such, the
bridge seems designed to enable Egyptian and African militaries and militias to
rush to Saudi’s succor in a potential showdown with Iran. The deal, as the
terms suggest, is quite lucrative to Egypt, which, under the Camp David Accord,
was prohibited from developing the islands, and was only allowed to maintain a
small military presence on Tiran, the larges to the two islands. Now, and with Israel signing
off on the agreement, Saudi could develop the island for use military and
economically. Egyptians complaining about the deal are intentionally ignoring
its positive economic and financial implications as part of their legitimate
anti-Al-Sisi campaign. But they should not lose focus of the overall
geopolitical situation.
The
Never Vanishing Spin: The
Hell After ISIS “While the Sunni community is in
disarray, isis itself is hardly faring better. Popular enthusiasm for
its rule in places like Hit is long gone, meaning it has been unable to hold
territory or advance on Baghdad. Under military pressure from the Iraqi army,
Shiite militias, and U.S. air strikes, the Islamic State is slowly withering:
In December, it lost Ramadi. In March, Iraqi forces began advancing into Hit.
But many Sunnis will tell you that even if this campaign succeeds in
toppling isis, it will have done nothing to address the fundamental
divides that helped produce the group in the first place. Those rifts are the
result of decades of American policy and misrule by Saddam, and they will
likely remain long after isis is gone.” Those “rifts” are the
results of misrule first and foremost. They are also reflections of the nihilistic
ideological mentality adopted by most regional intellectuals who remain addicted
to a victimary mentality and rhetoric that put the entire blame on outsiders,
and have, with few exceptions, been able to provide an objective critique for
traditional culture, a better understanding of global culture, or a guiding
vision that is not steeped in ideology to the point of conferring a religious significance
on it.
The fact that American, European
and Russian policies have over the decades contributed to some of the ills and
problems we are facing in our societies today does not make them primary cause
of these problems. Long before Russia invaded Afghanistan and the United Stated
and its allies invaded Iraq, misrule and ideological predilections have been busy
tearing apart the social fabric of our countries. As for the European colonial
experience in our land, it has long come to an end, and we have been in charge
of our lives for far too long to keep blaming all our ills on it. More importantly,
almost every aspect of modernity in our society, the things that make life
tolerable, dates back to that very experience: modern education, state
institutions, basic infrastructure and, on occasions, even the working legal
system, all date back to the French and British colonial period. Furthermore,
most development and modernization efforts that took place in our countries after
independence were facilitated by western or at time Soviet expertise and, on
many occasions, funding in terms of grants and loans.
If some of the policies of these
powers ended up clashing with our basic interests, and in this regard we have
to note the lack of interest in academic circles worldwide in assessing the far
more negative impact of Soviet policies in this regard, it’s because the world doesn’t
stand still while some of its parts seem to embrace stagnation, or to continue
to wrestle with some of their demons. Principles aside, this is how the world
works. The West looks guilty because some of its policies seem to violate the very
principles it claims to cherish, especially in connection to democracy and human
rights. But, in truth, Soviet hypocrisy has been far more obvious, resoundingly
so, after all, Soviet rulers oppressed the very classes whose interests they
claimed to represent and protect. But, because the West is democratic, dissent
flourished, and its hypocrisy was called far more loudly. Meanwhile, the autocrats
can on so many occasions still benefit from their autocracy: they suffocate
dissent at home, and when it seeks refuge abroad, it often loses a certain legitimacy
and relevance, as some of its champions seem to lose their sense of
perspective. Moreover, exiled dissidents often find themselves under attack conducted
by the dissidents of the West, who, in their zeal to fight hypocrisy at home,
end up justifying and defending it abroad. And autocrats like Putin, Khamenei and
Assad become heroes of the resistance, and the evil they perpetrate is often
blamed on the West. An
alternate history emerges in which they are righteous. How convenient!
