The United States has crossed into open barbarism — torture, kidnapping, and high sea piracy as state policy. This is not law enforcement. This is a poisonous cocktail of imperial violence that threatens humanity itself. From Vietnam to Venezuela and into Iran. Maduro’s wife was dragged before a U.S. court bruised, battered, with a blackened eye — the physical marks of abuse carried into a courtroom as if they were normal. Maduro himself appeared limping, visibly injured, showing clear signs of coercion and mistreatment. This is what “justice” looks like when empire abandons law. A sovereign leader abducted. A spouse brutalized. Bodies used as evidence of power. The US Jew Power. There is no legal cover for this. No moral excuse. No ethical defense. Kidnapping a head of state to impose control and plunder resources is not democracy — it is state-sanctioned criminality. War on Humanity. When the U.S. boasts about such acts, it is no longer pretending to uphold international law. It is openly mocking it. The world is no longer safe from this monster. This is not strength. It is fear wrapped in violence. History will remember it not as leadership — but as imperial thuggery laid bare over barbarism, human misery.

Hit their heads on a low door frame? They couldn't come up with a more feasible lie?

An oldie but a goody

There's not much you can do, brother. Share the news from honest sources, as much as you can. Condemn the atrocities committed by our government, both in your mind and publicly. Find like-minded people to spend time with. And pray.

One European media --l can't remember which one-- had a commentator that said this is coming. l'd guesstimate mid March.

I saw one alleged "protest" and it looked like a normal street scene. lt was the one with multiple rows of yellow taxis seen from above.

I haven't seen any photos but press from CNN to Al Jezeera are covering the injuries she sustained in the capture. For example: https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/06/politics/maduro-wife-hit-heads-lawmaker-briefing

Until I see the original source, I’m calling it AI, Photoshop, or out-of-context. There should be a digital ‘chain of custody’ somewhere. Given the situation, I do not see any excuse for not providing Exif data or at least some information about the image itself.

The pattern is: power corrupts fallible humans, without exception. They start to toe the line out of fear of losing their power if they stand up for what is right and good. The values of The Democratic Party and The Republican Party have historically been the same conservative and imperialist values. In the past ten years The Republican Party has shifted to far right extremism. Very few moderate politicians have been elected, and even fewer left- leaning. At least some of their conservative votes can be attributed to choosing a lesser evil, and others to attempts to build alliances. But after a very short time, they turn conservative, like all the rest. They all end up voting for wars that the people don't want. But this time, Congress didn't even vote for it. Nobody chose war except "The Department of War".

The acts are not new. The openness about them is. Portions of the population excusing, even celebrating them is new. The United States government has been a tyrant since the beginning, but has kept the people ignorant and idealistic. I did like it better when we pretended we were the good guys. I was unable to find this photo from a news source accessible from the United States. I know search engines "curate" results based on demographic data. Can you provide a news-based link to this image? I can only find it on social media. I want to share it with my conservative relatives on social media, but without the appearance of legitimacy of a news agency, they will call it "fake news".

Here is the historical breakdown 1. The Covenant was with Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → the 12 tribes The covenant is about BLOODLINE, not a later religion. Abraham was NOT a “Jew” — the word did not exist Isaac was not a Jew Jacob (Israel) was not a Jew The 12 tribes were not Jews; they were Israelites Only ONE tribe later became known as “Yehudim / Jews”: the Tribe of Judah So the covenant belongs to the entire House of Israel — not to a single tribe and certainly not to Rabbinic Judaism. 2. Judaism as a religion did not exist until ~500 BCE After the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE): ▪️ The priestly elite (Ezra, Nehemiah) rewrote/edited scriptures ▪️ New laws, new interpretations, new identity ▪️ The “House of Judah” became known as “Yehudim” → Jews ▪️ Later all Israelites began to be retroactively called “Jews” This is how a regional tribal identity became: a national identity → then a religious identity → then a global identity But it is not the same as the ancient Israelites. 3. 10 tribes disappeared — only Judah survived The Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom (10 tribes). Only Judah + Benjamin + some Levites remained. These survivors became: “Jews” — people of Judah (Yehudah) The rest of Israel was gone or absorbed into other nations. So the word “Jew” NEVER meant all the descendants of Israel. 4. Rabbinic Judaism arose EVEN LATER (~200 CE) Modern Judaism is based on: Mishnah (200 CE) Talmud (400–500 CE) Rabbi interpretations New laws, new theology This is 1000+ years after Moses. So Rabbinic Judaism ≠ Mosaic religion And Rabbinic Jews ≠ ancient Israelites 5. How did the Covenant get “claimed”? By redefining the word “Israelite” to mean “Jew” After the exile, the elites of Judah began calling themselves: “We are the whole nation of Israel” (even though Israel had 12 tribes) This linguistic shift allowed: the Tribe of Judah to claim the Covenant meant for the entire House of Israel 6. The Real Reason for the Confusion Language manipulation “Israelite” (all 12 tribes) becomes → “Jew” (1 tribal group) Scriptural editing Post-exile scribes rewrote history to center Judah. Religious evolution Rabbinic Judaism replaced ancient Israelite religion. Modern politics Today’s claims rely on the rewritten identity, not on original scripture or history. Final Answer (simple): The Covenant was not given to “the Jews” or “Rabbinic Judaism”. It was given to Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → all 12 tribes of Israel. The word “Jew” originally referred only to people from Judah — not to all Israelites. Modern Judaism inherited the covenant claim through historical rebranding, not through original scripture. IT WAS PLAIN STEALING. THEFT. JUST LIKE ANYTHING RELATED TO JEWS.

BREAKING!!!! As per alarming incoming reports, the Iranian town of Barandaz Gohbokhor (click on the link for source) has fallen to the rioters! Media reports this as the beginning of a regime change! (See verified image of the town's takeover attached below!!) The Clown Crown Prince-in-exile, Reza Pahalavi, announced the formation of his new cabinet over Instagram group chat; he later went live to address the nation, but had to end his stream abruptly when people began to flood the live comments section with 'your wife's yoga trainer!' President Donald Trump, when asked for his reaction, said 'Yes, I like it...I really do! Looks like prime free real estate!!!!!!!', with a serious expression. Arawsh (yes, he insists it be pronounced this way) Khabeesi, Iranian-American CEO of the crypto firm 'Takesmoney', and dissident leader, told BBC and CNN in an interview that they will level the Tahrir Square in Tehran and build a Holcocaust Memorial in its place, with a special 'IDF Martyrs' Wailing Wall', and also a Trump Tower. Stay tuned for more exciting news!!!!

Salam anyway it's putting boundaries for avoiding of riba/usury which all shia Marjas in Iran have allowed receiving interest based on inflation rate due to losing value of money or price of something due to inflation rate which there is a great amount of increasing of inflation rate due to wrong economical policies which value of currency has been decreased highly everyday which when loan giver gives money to someone value of landed money highly increases after a period of time which as it's mentioned receiving penalty due to costumer failing ,"it is forbidden (harām)." which turns receiving of profit into the riba/usury.

Wow, I had no idea she was bruised up this bad in the capture. How horrible.

Salam your procedure about spreading misinformation in favour of rogue zionist state is a proven fact which you always have participated in such threads foe supporting rogue zionist state i by spreading misinformation & zionist propaganda against Iran .

Option 3 Do the good deeds and Tawakkal to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), even if God choose for us the annihilation in this dunya daniyah.

Wasalam, that is not a good example of riba/usury. Taking profit isn't haram but taking profit from interest is definitely haram. The problem isn't the English language but rather whoever conflated "interest" with "profit".

Yes, this. They're also threatening Greenland. Someone, somewhere, needs to fight back. They are way less powerful than they pretend to be. Even their most ardent MAGA supporters are starting to see their evil. (Which does not excuse the choice those racist MAGA idiots made!)

Narcissistic sociopaths who don't care about law or people. What, even, is the benefit of power, if you're not using it to help people?

Daniel Haqiqatjou raised the point that prior to Israel’s last attack on Iran there were economically protests (in May 2025) I don’t know if the protests are growing or fading based on social media. I think the total death count may be real but on both sides not just the protesters. Some police were killed to. Also allegedly some of the people social media has said are dead have come forth to say they are alive. I saw two instances like this.

Could this be just an distraction so Israel will install internal elements in Iran to prepare for the next attack?

By 'aligned' I don't mean that they are in an electoral alliance or that one is subsidiary to the other. I mean that on foreign policy, and a substantial portion of the domestic policy, their views are the same as the party line of the Democrats. Just consider how many DSA and establishmentarian academic 'progressives' are now Democrat frontrunners and have rubberstamped all their decisions from grants-in-aid and weapons shipment to the Jewish settler-colony, to manufacturing consent for wars. There is a noteworthy pattern here. Not denying that there may be exceptions. I agree that ultimately the left and the right both have the same thing to offer the Muslims (especially us Shia)- the right through outright violence and aggression, and the left through brainwashing and deracination.

Abducting presidents for drug charges. Leaving narco lords free. Who in the world believes and/or condones that ?

PSL - the party for socialism and liberation isn’t aligned with the Democratic party. They do have their flaws which is another conversation. Its wise to consider if the left is controlled opposition. People at the bottom less likely so. Like my father says… don’t go to the left, don’t go to the right, just go straight up to God.

Salam dadash, hope you and your family are all safe. Prayers. خدا نگهدار.

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu Please make Dua for my grandma to be guided to Islam, she reminds me when it's time for Salah and even though she's a Christian she respects my beliefs and I try to reciprocate. I help the hospice nurses take care of her and she's 92 years old but she still gets around good she just has to use a walker. Jazakallahu Khair -Travis James Lee

That's a good idea. Someone should consult you.

Just came here to drop this quickly: May Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) curse all three of these pigs for this, especially trump for what he just did. At this point countries should stop taking international law seriously, it's the law of the jungle. luckly venezuella did not collapse at all, if anything now venezuella is more ready, with an angrier population behind a president that seems just as ballsy as her predecessor maduro after trump just threatened her with the same fate.

Assalam Alaykum A shiachat member once asked me to write a letter to our Imam regarding my difficult circumstances. I did with the faith that He will respond however it is appropriate. Soon after, I had the honour of a true experience being in the presence of the Imam for the whole day. And I realised that it took me to actually experience that meeting to have firm faith in the shia belief that the Imam is always there for us guiding us like the light is delivered through the veil of clouds. Please never lose faith in the presence of our Imam and His return. May Allah bless you all. In God's care Abbas

Some people just go beyond rationality to fabricate lies. Try to distort so the layman gets fooled. “The Qur’an criticizes Ezra for esoteric reasons.” ❌ Fabrication The Qur’an does not criticize Ezra. It criticizes a Jewish faction that said: “Ezra is the son of God.” (Qur’an 9:30) Even Jewish historians admit: Some mystical sects exalted Ezra Ezra wasn’t universally accepted as prophet or priest His scripture editing caused major disputes Nothing “esoteric” here. It is a known historical controversy.

4. “No evidence connects lost Israelites to Arab tribes.” ❌ Strawman + historically false Never claimed that. The Qur’an does not claim Ishmaelites = Lost Tribes. But, historically: Many Israelites fled south into Arabia (documented by Assyrian records) Jewish–Arab communities existed long before Christianity Israelite tribes mixed with Arab clans around Hijaz and Najran This does not make Arabs “Israelites,” but it proves: ✔ Israelite presence ✔ Cultural and genealogical mixing So the reply’s claim is meaningless.

2. “Only Judah remained faithful so only Judah was fit to continue the covenant.” ❌ Not in the Tanakh at all The Tanakh states: The covenant was with ALL 12 tribes — forever. Even when they sinned, God calls them back. Nowhere does Tanakh say: ❌ “Judah inherits the covenant alone.” ❌ “Other tribes forfeited ancestry or identity.” ❌ “Judah now represents all Israel.” This is a post-exilic ideological claim, not scripture.

1. “Judah acquired prominence because other tribes became idolaters.” ❌ Distortion This is a self-serving narrative from Judah’s scribes, not an objective historical fact. Tanakh was written, edited and canonized by Judahite priests long after the Northern Kingdom fell. They portrayed: Judah = faithful Israel (10 tribes) = idolaters But archaeology shows: ✔ Both kingdoms practiced similar religion ✔ Both worshipped Yahweh + regional deities ✔ Even Judah worshipped idols inside the Temple (2 Kings 23) So the idea that Judah was “more righteous” is a literary reconstruction — not history.

Look at what he did to the statue of liberty:

Insha'Allah the brother/sister here doesn't have bad intention, but what they are calling truth is misinformation. I don't know all the anti Welayate Faqih people/scholars mentioned here, and if they even exist, or if they exist, they are good scholar or bad scholar. Anyways, there are some issues I am going to address: 1. Ayatollah Khoei wasn't against Welayate Faqih. He even was among the people who were trying to establish Islamic government in Iraq. 2. Regardless of his personality, Marhouhm Montazeri has wrote a book for Welayate Faqih, how can he be called against Welayate Faqih? As it was mentioned, he was removed from the next leadership post, as a result of some of the issues back then like his openly support for his son in law's brother named Mehdi Hashemi who was leading an extremist and terrorist-like group. Here is his confession in Persian: http://www.aparat.com/v/mkr95 3. Shari'at madari was a close person to Shah and against Imam Khomeini's uprising against him. After Revolution, he alongside some other anti Revolution individuals (especially his son in law, Ghotb zadeh) managed a coup against Imam Khomeini and as far as I know, even tried to kill him. But by the grace of God they failed and were arrested. Here are Ghotb zadeh and Shari'at Madari's confessions (in Persian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATcEgdpLank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqTcz382bx0 I have more things about a few of these kinds of scholars whose names mentioned here. But what I said is enough for some members here to, at least, be more cautious in their ways. Insha'Allah we can learn to distinguish between Good scholars and bad scholars, as nothing has damaged Islam more than bad scholars. اعرف الحق، تعرف اهله و اعرف الباطل تعرف اهله

"O you who believe, if a fasiq comes to you with a news, verify it lest you harm a people due to ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful" (49:6) Quoting a secular minded, anti Islamic site is deceptive. People with agenda's will say anything to achieve their goal, relying on the gullibility of their viewers to believe their lies. We Shias should be better than this. For Shias who are against WF, they have to be able to explain how they will bring about Islam into the folds of the society and pave the way for the return of Imam Mahdi.

Wa'alaykum Assalam wb. Beautiful thread! اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa Ali Muhammad

Lots of videos coming out of Iran. Not sure if there are the same protests from different angles, only in a few places and made to seem like they're all over. Also reportedly over 20 protesters killed?
