3 points:
1) "son of god" --when l was in our church this meant "who you listened to" as parents were usually then your only instructors.
2) "son of god" --even from the pulpit the Reverend in our church pointed out that in the gospels only Satan, possessed, and others said this, which is why saying "son of god" is evilgelical. There is a one-off in the gospel of John.
3) 666 --l have a St Joseph textbook edition of the Bible. ln it it footnotes that some of the ancient manuscripts have 616 instead of 666.

Opinion:
l like the way lRl is handling the Strait passages.
Turkey, China and others are passing through while others are denied safe passage.
So when Takaichi Sanae-san, the Jap PM, was in Washington she wanted Alaskan oil like in the 1990s ---when Japan got like 80-90% from lRl and Clinton by Ex.Ord. designated all Alaskan oil to Japan. At the time, Japan also started buying from lndonesia. No IRl oil. l haven't found more than this on why the request was denied.
So....Japan made a deal with lRl. They buy in Yuan and not send defense forces to the Strait.
Now here is my speculation on why Trump added 5 days to his 48 hour ultimatum:
South Korea, RoK, had the missiles they paid for and took a lot of heat from China over the purchase of the THAAD system AWAY FROM THEM. The radar platform alone costs $1 BBillion. China knew that radar was monitoring everything in eastern China and beyond which is why they were upset. So...after Japan made its deal, the RoK FM announced Saturday the 21st that they have asked lRl for the same deal.
As one commentator explained all this, lRl is making bi-lateral arrangements with each country to manage passage of the Strait. He also said yesterday, the 23rd, that Vietnam, Bangladesh and the Philippines run out of fuel in 3 weeks.
And to explain another way, the Strait is 'open' except to Trump's friends.

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 believe we should update our terminology for militarized intimidation.
ln the old days it was called gunboat diplomacy.
Now we should call it bomber diplomacy.
After over a century, l think it is about time.

That looks like smeared face cream to me. Maduro had a bag over his head at one time. Maybe his wife did too.

l see some proportional truth to this.
Look at the counter-protests. 1.4 million in Tehran. 800k in Mashad. A couple of these marches had Red Flags of Hussain.
l saw one video where these three middle-aged men came out of their apartment building with shotguns and the lead man in a brown jacket immediately fired into the rioters. I will not want my apartment building set on fire either.
The Western mediocures keep showing the some of the same week-old videos. The burning of District 5 municipal building in Tehran. A couple of burning mosques (Ayat 20:44) of 50+ so reported --attacking the din.
The trapped nurse being burnt alive in her own clinic. That policeman knocked off his bike and beaten and burnt alive. And beaten while burning.
Then Western media whine about some of the vicious psychos likely to be hanged (and you can bring the Gaza Ghetto in for comparison).
lf a son of mine did any of this, l will not want him hanged, but nailed up.

Yes, I wonder would Iran even be able to give China enough oil to get the amount of Yuan it needs to run the country for the year... to cover the gross domestic product.
l think this is off-the-mark.
Just change/peg. The PRC will get a facilitation of trade, not having to convert currencies.

But how to do that? Would have to buy yuan from China so that people can exchange their money for yuan. They'd have to give China a lot of free oil, or something else, to do so
First you determine your desired price structure.
One start point is the price of bread. What bakery price do you want at the consumer purchase?
In the 1970s, when l could buy same-day bread 4 loaves for $1, the Sec. of Agriculture made a presentation before Congress taking slices of bread away t6o show the costs -labor, transportation, wrapping and so forth. What was left was a heel...the amount the farmer/grower got. A decade ago, l read an updated review of this. What the grower got then was a "corner of that heel".
So even this one starting point is an involved accounting.
Once you have determined your flow-of-money currency needs, contract the currency like Russia did in the 1990s. Then peg it to another currency. The Yuan is a good choice and lran sits astride the SCO "focus" and the Yuan is tied to a basket of currencies.
To impede enemy counterfeiting operations, use a metallic currency. Round, square, triangular coins. Larger denominations being alpha-numerically indented. So you can have a square coin with a round hole for easier use. And easier to count.
The Japanese Yen is a small aluminum coin.
A currency shortage needs to be avoided. So the central bank should have a 1/2% inflation target. The US 2% target was passable in the 50s and 60s, but as prices get bigger, 2% destroys the currency and ruined old people. (Ask a 'boomer').
Gold and currency reserves be used for other transactions.
There was other stuff l thought of, but forget offhand.

This is getting interesting. I think majority of people know that Mossad and CIA are involved, but view it as not necessarily a bad thing if it brings about the downfall of Iran. Saw a post on reddit claiming 12,000 killed in the last 48 hours. There was a picture of about 50 people in body bags, not clear where they were from or when the picture was taken.
I'm surprised China and Russia are doing nothing. Russia is bogged down in Ukraine. But China isn't. Part of China's national security strategy is keeping the West bogged down in Ukraine and the Middle East. Letting Venezuela fall, then Iran, and eventually peace in Ukraine would shift all focus to China.
l was going to post similar, but the "12,000" l saw was this past weekend on the American CBS nutwork.

From what I've heard from Iranis not on this site, the government has drawn the redline at arms depots at police stations and the like. These rioters were actually trying to get their hands on state stores of arms and ammunition. That is a strict no-go area anywhere in the world, whether the East or the West.
Lets wait and see. Its hard to get a full picture with the current barrage of information and misinformation.
What l heard on foreign TV this morning --sorry l forget which one-- is that "for the first time ever" the lranian Army is involved and are guarding key buildings and institutions. That is what she said. And that the Army has never before been involved in any protests.

Exactly, it will take years to start exporting the oil to other countries. At that time I hope his presidency has ended.
it’s funny trump dogs think he will use the money to pay USA debt
he will do anything to stay in power and steal more money to be richer.
Even though Chevron decide to stay active in Venezuela, the oil infrastructure l read is in such a shabby state that it will cost $110Billion just to get it functioning sufficiently.
Also, decades ago l read that Venezuelean oil is not the best of grades. Well below Texas Sweet.

OzzieTrumpdiass -07Jan26
-with apologies to Percy Blythe Shelly ...& to alHamir everywhere
I met a displacee from a wasteland,
Who said --"vast and formless cemented stone piled in a desert
...Near at hand, half a village lies, it's brown, with crater lip ...
the sneer of bomber command,
Tell that its sculptor whose fashions seen will survive over these lifeless things
a land that shocked them and hearts that fled,
And in the media, these words appear: My name is OzzieTrumpdiass, King of Bling; look on My Work, ye Flighty, and Beware!"
Nothing good remains. Round the rubble of each Wreck, near soundless and bare, a lone and level drone
flies far away.
Notes: Ozymandias is a poem by Shelly. Himar is donkey, alhamar is the plural..."ass" being one western name for a donkey, as well as for underdeveloped personalities. Ozzie is a popular short of the names Oscar and Oswald, one being a name inferring divine power.

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?
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.

Legislate it or have the central bank just start with it ... but l would consult Beijing on the implementation.

I saw/watched Ayat. Khamenei's remarks on the inflation problem.
Suggestion to "foil enemy plots"--to use lRI gov't idiom:
Change currency.
Observation: Many countries use the USD as their national currency. Ecuador, El Salvador, East Timor, Micronesia, Marshal Islands, Palau, Caribbean Netherlands. Other countries incorporate USD with their own: Liberia and Zimbabwe.
So IRl had two useable options. The Ruble or the Yuan.
I think the Yuan is best. One, because lRl is astride the SCO central focus. And because the Yuan is based on the second largest global economy and the Yuan is also valued in the PRC based on a basket of currencies.

Another round of Iranian protests... how to tell if they are accurately covered or not. What sources do you suggest to follow? PressTV does not say much.
Iran media is likely afraid of both aggravating the situation and providing info bulletins to propagandists.

Assalamallikum,
I watch this program on DeutscheWelle entitled:
Indonesia's green lslam: when climate protection becomes a religion
This is on videos. You can find it by searching: Youtube dw indonesia
Set at a mosque in Jakarta which has the "first eco-certification" as its commitment to the green movement, l took these notes:
-"prayers are offered in defense of the environment"
-proselytizes: "Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) does not like those (who -ed.) cause harm to the earth."
-issues "green fatwas", refurbishes mosques (solar panels, water recycling -ed.), training groups of environmental activists
-in the Quran schools, "environmental courses taught through the lens of islamic theology".
-the commentator/reporter said: "Adopting Quranic teachings to today's environmental challenges requires a profound rereading of the sacred texts."
-this uses 700 ayats "that address the protection of nature".
-and 'to do all this' "the right strategy" is to start with Quran and Hadith and use rock music
Those are my notes. The report showed a lot of emotional appeals rather than thought/intellect (ayats 2:73, 2:164, 3:118 )
Even though Man is a vicegerant/viceregent, Man was/is created for a specific purpose: Ayat 51:56. You can also add Ayat 2:21.
In the revealing of Quran, use of one's intellect is encouraged and not emotions. Ayats 2:73, 2:164, 3:118.
For me personally, this greenwash falls within Ayat 5:58.
A mosque was bombed in lndonesia recently. l wonder if this bi'dah was the target...but encouraging repentance is better.

Inspiring Iran
in Politics/Current Events
Posted
Today, the 26th, l was watching West Asia news sites. (Much better that the New York nutworks.)
At one point 'dealing' by Trump with lRI was di8scussed and l had this thought:
Trumpy talks deal. So should he not know the mentality of the other side?
There is the popular expression from a 70's movie: "Make them an offer they can't refuse."
But Trumpy is trying to deal/intimidate/offer lRl. And being Shi'a they will most often refuse. SC readers know what l mean.
So Trumpty Dumpty is going to fall. And no one will be able to put the current "world order" back together again.
Trumpty Dumpty sat in a hall.
Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the institutions and all the good men,
Can't put the world order back together again.
