Saudi court sentences Palestinian poet to death for apostasy
Saudi Arabia’s justice system is based on Sharia Islamic law and its judges are clerics from the kingdom’s ultra conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam. In the Wahhabi interpretation of Sharia, religious crimes including blasphemy and apostasy incur the death penalty.
Oh … Don’t forget they are an ally of the U.S..

The 190-room hotel was just finishing off the hosting of a major mining conference, Aislinn Laing writes. Those due to speak included the Malian prime minister, government ministers, African Development Bank representatives as well as the directors of some major mining houses operating in Africa. As a result of the conference, the hotel is believed to have been at 90 per cent occupancy.
And now it is the site of the newest terror attack on the planet earth..
This was reported only minutes ago in a UK TELEGRAPH article:
Hostages freed from siege hotel if they can recite Qur'an versesSecurity sources are reporting that some gunmen at the Mali hotel are freeing hostages who are able to recite verses of the Qur'an.
Two women have been escorted from the besieged Bamako hotel.

The website BLOODY DISGUSTING today reminded me of something I completely forgot about from my youth.. the Freddy Kreuger 1-900 number..
Like Brad Miska, I never called when I was a kid. I remember my cousins and I watching these commercials late at night and thinking about doing it.. but that was the 20th century. The time of TOLL calls and no internet.. such a strange and different time compared to now.
Nonetheless, check out the article from B-D that also includes plenty of Youtube nostalgia of people actually calling the number.
So .. did anyone ever win that ‘contest’ to appear in a movie??

IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES. IT WAS THE END OF TIMES
AS though the news of the world wasn’t freaky enough, Pope Francis is adding fodder to the already mighty load of end times porn that has overloaded our society from all religious perspectives.. From a report November 15 (I missed it until now), this information:
Francis unequivocally recognized the Islamist ideology behind the attacks, denouncing the use of God’s name to justify the brutal attacks as “blasphemy.”
Commenting on Sunday’s Scripture readings, the Pope said that Jesus’ preaching about the end of the world contains “apocalyptic elements, like war, famine, and cosmic catastrophes.”
“In those days,” Francis repeated, “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
This year has seen a plethora of information concerning the Pope and threats to the Vatican from ISIS terrorists.. Since the French horror last week, the United States State Department has issued a warning to Americans to stay away from the Vatican.. From that report:
The November 18 notice is billed as a “Security Message for U.S. Citizens” regarding a potential for terrorist attacks, and arrived punctually into the email boxes of all Americans registered with the embassy, including that of Breitbart News.
Along with the Vatican, the State Department singles out the Duomo (cathedral) and La Scala opera house in Milan. It goes on to note that general venues “such as churches, synagogues, restaurants, theatres, and hotels” in both Rome and Milan are possible targets as well.
The embassy notice says: “Terrorist groups may possibly utilize similar methods used in the recent Paris attacks,” meaning bombs and assault rifles.
If we make it through December we’ll be (hopefully) fine..
I think.
This end of the world talk.. well, we have heard it before for sure. Countless times after all..
And each time a religious figure pointed out that “Jesus may come today,” it was tomorrow..
The earth has been through very ghastly days before.
People have faced down villains of dramatic proportions.
It would seem that those days are again coming.
Ignoring religious connotations, I will only say this: It would appear there is something strange in the air of late.. Something that seems foreboding. I have felt this tingle since the late summer. Back then, September was rumored to be the ‘end times’ for the planet. Then, I highly dismissed those claims and wrote articles on here protesting the very inclusion with such rumors into your lives.
But since that time, things have increasingly become more tense.
Chinese vs US.. Russia vs US.. Russia vs ISIS.. ISIS vs rebels.. Rebels vs Assad. China vs ISIS.. Saudis vs Assad. US vs… ?
The plotline is written.. the table is set. The deck chairs feel arranged.
And yes, it would seem like the chess game of world war is being played. Pawns in a larger picture are now picked and we are just moved away from … what?
One more time.
If we make it through December we’ll be (hopefully) fine..

Who’ll love the devil?…
Who’ll song his song?…
Who will love the devil and his song?…
I’ll love the devil!…
I’ll sing his song!…
I will love the devil and his song!… Who’ll love the devil?… Who’ll kiss his tongue?… Who will kiss the devil on his tongue?… I’ll love the devil!… I’ll kiss his tongue!…
I will kiss the devil on his tongue!…
Who’ll love the devil?…
Who’ll sing his song?…
I WILL LOVE THE DEVIL AND SING HIS SONG!…
These were the words being sung as the Paris terror attack began in the packed concert hall in France.. The band was from the United States called Eagles of Metal Death. The song is ‘Kiss the devil.’
I offer it as fodder for thought, not really food.. but fodder. Fodder perhaps for debate. There have been more than a few people who have pointed to these lyrics in hopes of finding some metaphysical connection between the earthly terror and the otherworldly forces some believe are fighting in the other realm.
BUT BUT BUT..
take a breather from the Bible.
Get this shocker.. the EAGLES OF DEATH METAL? They aren’t really a ‘death metal’ band as some sites have claimed.. their name and even the lyrics of this song are parody.. They are actually parodying bands who sing about Satan and fans who like them..
But silly facts don’t matter.
So keep on .. condemn the band..
IT SHALLETH ONLY MAKETH THEM STRONGER
This is a must read story from the HUFFINGTON POST
Mothers of ISIS.. abandoned by their children.. now all they have is each other.
SHOCK ACT OF PROTEST
Trade union leader sets himself on FIRE to protest the looming sale of Mongolian coal mines to Chinese companies ..
Before doing it, he said:
“The government no longer supports our company, families of the workers are forced to starve, this is why I will burn myself for the people of Mongolia and our children”
Then the fire..
He was put out..
A split second later, the speaker appears to burst into flame. In the terrifying moment that follows, screams can be heard as his companions rip off their jackets and immediately start beating the engulfing flames from the man, who has fallen, agonizing, to the floor. The blaze was finally suppressed with a fire extinguisher.
Now that is a protest with flare.
AN EU TEST
France has invoked an EU treaty collective defense article requesting military help from its European partners in response to the terror attacks in Paris. EU officials say the mutual defense article is being used for the first time.
The assistance would come from 28 European partners under Article 42.7 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty
It’s called the mutual defense clause..
And now it’s going to be put to the test
DOGS OF WAR
x x x
A 7-year-old police dog named Diesel was killed by the attackers during the raid, according to police. The dog was a German shepherd sniffer dog.
The police also tweeted, “Assault and explosives search dogs are indispensable in the missions of the operators of the raid” with a photo showing an unidentified police dog.

POOTIE POOT AND BARRY NOW FRIENDS?
Love grows when terror throws?
EXTRA EXTRA: A RELATIONSHIP BUDS?
CNN reports
Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin had a markedly warmer exchange at the G20 in Turkey this week than in other recent encounters, and both sides indicated a willingness to do more to work together.
At a meeting Monday, the two men flashed toothy smiles at each other and erupted in quick bursts of laughter – a far cry from virtually every photographed interaction between the leaders in the past several years, including an awkward handshake shared just six weeks ago at the United Nations General Assembly.
Authorities in Hanover, Germany, abruptly called off a friendly soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands that Chancellor Angela Merkel had planned to attend to show resolve against terrorism and support for the victims of the attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris. One target of Friday’s attacks was a crowded soccer match between France and Germany at a stadium north of Paris.
And this from the Washington POST reporting on,
Hanover Police Chief Volker Kluwe told local broadcaster NDR that officials received “a concrete tip that an explosives attack was planned against this international match in the stadium.” A high-level European security official said the evacuation, which took place shortly before the match was due to begin, was related to the Paris attacks.
While no explosives were immediately located, the appearance of another suspected plot to wreak havoc at a crowded public event underscored the formidable challenge facing European nations as they seek to detect and prevent terrorist attacks.
Europe is on edge..
