Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah El Sisi said the attack on worshipers at a mosque in Sinai on November 24 was “dastardly and cowardly” [Courtesy: Egyptian State TV]
There has been a general outpouring of condemnation and grief over a bomb attack at a mosque in northern Sinai in Egypt, which killed at least 235 and wounded more than 100.
The Egyptian State Prosecutor issued a statement today saying that an improvised explosive device went off just as Muslim worshipers were gathering for Friday prayers at the Beur El Abes, in North Sinai’s Al-Arish city, shortly before noon.

I get quite a lot of friend requests on Facebook, most of which I decline. I thought it would be worth explaining why here, in the hope that some of the people who want to friend me also read my blog.All of my FB posts are public, open to everyone.

In short, Trump’s advisers have to deceive him into thinking that arming Ukraine won’t have the destabilizing and provocative effect that it is very likely to have, and they have to make him think that Ukraine will pay for something that it can’t really afford and that hawks in Congress want to give away.

As most of you surely know by now, I believe a positive future for humanity requires a total displacement of the current centralized, authoritarian, and hierarchal paradigm. I believe decentralized, peer-to-peer, trustless systems will play an instrumental role in bringing about a much more free, honest and transparent system that will lead to immense human progress.
If you have any interest in the above topics, I strongly suggest listening to the interview below.

On November 9th, the French nuclear safety institute IRSN reported that a 'cloud' of radioactive pollution was hovering over much of Europe, with the speculation being that an 'accident' likely had occurred at a nuclear facility located either in Russia or in Kazakhstan. The Russian meteorological service now indirectly confirms this speculation by revealing that it is measuring levels of the radioactive isotope, ruthenium 106, at 1,000 times higher than normal in the Ural Mountains.

In an important sense, everyone must be a multiculturalist, because each culture is itself a multiculture. Take the social and political culture of the West. It is famously constituted by a dialogue between two intellectual poles—Athens and Jerusalem—a culture of reason and a culture of faith and tradition.  But, of course, the culture of the West is not only a social and political culture but an aesthetic one. And here it is composed in part of all sorts of national cultures that are themselves the products of subcultures within the nation.

A swarm of vulgar and violent Trump haters have expanded their hate to the little girl herself. YouTube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter claim they are censoring Internet comments in order to stop hate speech but they have totally ignored this genuine hate speech and allowed it to go viral on the Internet. The fact that there is no action from any quarter to restrict criminality from the Left tells us all we need to know about the loyalties of those in charge. [...]

Nyköpingshus i vinterskrud.Följ med till Nyköpings gästabud, 700 år efter de ödesdigra händelserna, som ledde till två hertigars död och ett svenskt inbördeskrig.Det har liknats vid ett Shakespeareskt drama med bibliska referenser och är en av de mest mytomspunna händelserna i Sveriges historia. Vetenskapsradion Historia besöker Nyköpingshus för att berätta historien om Nyköpings gästabud i december 1317. Det var då kung Birger bad sina bröder att minnas Håtunaleken och lät spärra in dem i slottets iskalla fängelsehålor tills kylan och svälten gjorde sitt.

In one of Lois Bujold's books, a character is changed from female to male via a high tech medical procedure. In Karl Gallagher's Torchship series, sex change operations are treated as routine options–one minor character has changed f to m in order to be physically qualified for a preferred military role and plans to change back later.That raises an interesting question. Altering the physical structure of the body looks like something that should be practical with the medical technology we can expect to have sometime in the next century.

The so-called Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand (FCCT) is located in downtown Bangkok and includes the regional offices of many of the United States’ and Europe’s largest media organizations. It also includes a large, swank clubhouse complete with a restaurant and bar, where events are held.
The FCCT on its website offers a lengthy, self-aggrandising and somewhat incoherent explanation as to what function it actually serves, claiming:

With Britain leaving the European Union, the British will cease to contribute to the budgets of the institutions. This includes the CAP, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, which allocates funding in the form of individual payments to producers. Over the last months, farmers on the continent have been very concerned about their subsidies which put the European Union's Commission, which proposes legislation, in a bit of an awkward position. Uneasy about the prospect of losing the popular support of farmers, the EU seeks to find new winning issues.

I went to a Daily Mass on Black Friday last year. The priest didn’t waste too much time with the homily, but he made a few comments about Thanksgiving and a statement about Black Friday which I found hopefully refreshing. He said, “This is a day for the poor.” As Thanksgiving and Black Friday approach once again, let us reflect on this concise but incredibly profound statement.

Every poll that asks about who voters would rather see in control of Congress shows the same thing: by large and growing numbers, registered voters and likely voters want to see the Republicans lose control of Congress. Except for hard core Republicans-- and not even all of them no one wants to see another Paul Ryan speakership and even fewer people want to see Mitch McConnell in control of the Senate.

The US is invited to become a party to the multinational negotiation effort but it links the military presence to a settlement process. With Islamic State gone, the war-torn country earning for peace faces the prospect of becoming a battlefield for war against Iran.

The tens of thousands of American deaths from drug overdoses are a measure of the hopeless desperation left behind by the soul-starving socio-economic system of late-stage capitalism, writes poet Phil Rockstroh.

If the United States climbs into bed with the Israelis and Saudis and commits to take down Iran it will wind up having to do the hard fighting in a war that could be unwinnable in any conventional sense.

Erdogan – and Turkish politics – is at a crossroads. Erdogan’s dalliance with Vladimir Putin was the “red line” for the West. The dalliance has turned into a tight embrace lately and breaking loose may inflict great pain on Erdogan. Moscow holds the Kurdish card and has influential lobbyists in Turkey’s Islamist elite.

One could say that all the people mentioned in EVTT report are pretty lucky since some of them like President Trump and Professor Cohen have been called other names in the mainstream media comparing with which the “useful idiot” definition sounds like a compliment.
