When Will She Come?
Man In Medieval Baghdad Foolishly Acted As A Courtly Lover
: A young man pretending to be an aristocrat arrived at a banquet in eleventh-century Baghdad. A slave girl — beautiful, highly cultured, and wealthy — was singing there. She enthralled him.
In fashionable devotion to the singing slave girl, the young man refrained from eating even though he was dying of hunger. He became inebriated from drinking sweet date wine. Then the love-struck young man saw roses. He grabbed them and ate them. The slave girl whispered behind her tambourine to her master:
The young man was dressed in only a brocade robe. The night was cold. He began to shiver, and his teeth chatter. He said to the slave girl, “I want to embrace you.”

The Future Of The EU At Stake In Catalonia
A new paradigm has been coined right inside the lofty European Union: 'In the name of democracy, refrain from voting, or else'
Fascist Franco may have been dead for more than four decades, but Spain is still encumbered with his dictatorial corpse. A new paradigm has been coined right inside the lofty European Union, self-described home/patronizing dispenser of human rights to lesser regions across the planet: “In the name of democracy, refrain from voting, or else.” Call it democracy nano-Franco style.
Nano-Franco is Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose heroic shock troops were redeployed from a serious nationwide terrorist alert to hammer with batons and fire rubber bullets not against jihadis but … voters. At least six schools became the terrain of what was correctly called The Battle of Barcelona.
Extreme right-wingers even held a demonstration inside Barcelona. Yet this was not shown on Spanish TV because it contradicted the official Madrid narrative.
The Catalan government beat the fascist goons with two very simple codes – as revealed by La Vanguardia. “I’ve got the Tupperware. Where do we meet?” was the code on a prepaid mobile phone for people to collect and protect ballot boxes.

Professors Tricking Students Into Taking SJW Indoctrination Classes
Raging Golden Eagle: And then bragging and writing books about it too! Though on the bright side, the fact that kids nowadays have to be tricked into this is a good sign. It means they are smart enough to spot the BS.Kremlin Issues Stern Warning To Washington Over Its Help For Jewish Terrorists Masquerading As ISIS* In Syria
By Gilbert Doctorow: From time to time, the Kremlin uses the Sunday evening weekly news wrap-up program of Dmitry Kiselyov on state television channel Rossiya-1 to send blunt and public warnings to Washington without diplomatic niceties.Last night was one such case and we must hope that the intended audience within the Beltway can put aside its focus on Russia Today’s supposed fake news long enough to read a real message from Moscow.
The last such message came in the week following the April 8th Tomahawk attack on a Syrian air base that Donald Trump sprung on the world, allegedly to punish the regime of Assad for a chemical attack on a village in Idlib province.
Kiselyov used his airtime then to spell out the Russian response, which he characterized as unprecedented in scope and seriousness. It was essential to put all of its elements together in one place, as he did, because our boys in the Pentagon chose to downplay one or another element in isolation, such as the Russian installation of their Iskander nuclear potential missiles in Kaliningrad, or the abrogation of the deconfliction agreement relating to air space over Syria, or the dispatch of still more Russian vessels to the Eastern Mediterranean equipped to sink our Navy.The Rise Of Eugenics - Why Big Oil Conquered The World
Bath, UK Councillor Backs Call For ‘Minister For Men’, Twitter Storm Ensues
The councillor called it "a very good idea”
By Amanda Cameron: A Bath councillor has backed a call to establish a ‘Minister for Men’ after the idea was widely mocked on social media.The Conservative councillor came out in support of the notion as debate over the need for a ‘Minister for Men’ raged on Twitter.
The debate began after a poster announcing meetings of the ‘Bath branch’ of the Society to Establish a ‘Minister for Men’ was spotted in the city.The poster invites people who believe “men and boys have become second-class citizens” to attend regular meetings for “sensible discussions...with people who share similar views”.
The bright yellow poster drew swift condemnation on Twitter after Labour councillor Joe Rayment posted a picture of it with the comment: “The absolute state of this.”
But others leapt to its defence, citing the right to assemble and the right to representation.
Michael Norton, Conservative councillor for Lyncombe ward, tweeted: “It’s actually a very good idea.”
Judaism, Zionism And Conflation
By Gilad Atzmon: Jewish Anti Zionists are occasionally irritated by the ‘conflation’ of ‘Zionism and Judaism’ but the terms are inherently related.Conflation is usually understood as the merging of two or more distinct sets of information, texts, ideas, etc. into one. Does this concept apply to Zionism and Judaism? Are Zionism and Judaism distinct terms? Are Jews and Zionism categorically different from each other?
For example, can Americanism and exceptionalism be conflated? Can round and circular be conflated? The distinction between terms that are related can be confusing. But the relationship between Jews and Zionism is clear. This is also true of the relationship among Zionism, Jews and Judaism. These terms are intrinsically related politically, culturally, religiously and at times they form a metaphysical continuum.
Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, probably the most eloquent Torah Jew spokesperson, has repeatedly argued that those who‘conflate’ Judaism and Zionism are “either Zionists or anti-Semites.” But Zionism and Judaism, as we will see next, are integrally related.
The vast majority of Rabbinical Jews see Judaism and Zionism as correlated precepts. This is not a recent phenomenon. As early as 1942, at the peak of WWII, 818 orthodox American rabbis signed a document reaffirming the essential bond between Zionism and Judaism.
