It’s so hard to tell real wizards from fake ones these days…
May 14, 2013 — xanthippaCame across a short but intriguing story today: a man was the victim of a very, very cruel trick indeed!
Robbing bank and getting away with it is getting harder and harder, because they have all these pesky cameras installed all over the place. What to do, what to do…
The solution is simple – become invisible!
So, this is exactly what one genius would-be bank robber in Tehran decided to do. All he needed to do is find a real wizard, buy an invisibility spell from him and voila, he could rob banks with impunity.
The only thing to have foiled his brilliant plan was that the wizard he bought the spell from turned out to be a fake wizard, and when he started snatching money from people’s hands at the bank, instead of being terrified, they beat him up and handed him over to the police…
Can’t really blame him, can you, as he’s been raised with ‘magical thinking’ – Saudi Arabia’s been executing witches, so why not believe there are sorcerers in Iran? This is what religious education does to people!
The consequences of the Obama policies in threat denial
May 7, 2013 — xanthippaThis is a longer video than most, but well worth watching.
Sebastian Gorka is not the only one to speak up about this – Stephen Caughlin has also spoken out about the reality of the ideological purges in the intelligence community on many occasions. However, Sebastian Gorka goes into the roots of the Obama ideology in a much clearer detail:
The following video is included as it focuses on he story of one of the victims of the Obama purges:
While I don’t agree with everything said, it is something to think about.

Chick-fil-A’s ‘Family Values’
April 29, 2013 — xanthippaRemember Chick-fil-A?
They got their 15 minutes of fame by publicly opposing gay marriage on the grounds that it wasn’t ‘Biblical’ (and funding – second-hand – some nasty homophobic groups) in the name of ‘family values’.
Aside: Don’t get me wrong, they are a private company and they are free to present any image they like and spend their profits in any way they choose. All I am doing is pointing out how they live up to the values they themselves profess to live according to.
Well, now they are revealing more about exactly what constitutes these ‘Biblical family values’ that Chick-fil-A promotes: Mother-Son Medieval Date Night!!!
They even promote it on their own website! Here is a screenshot:
So, what exactly are ‘Biblical family values’?
The Society of Christians for the Restoration of Old Testament Morality has taken the time to compile brochures on both the Biblically correct Marriage and Biblical family values – though, they do quote the New Testament as well as the Old one in order to support their points. Do check them out!
We learn from ‘Biblically Correct Family Values’ that Deuteronomy 21:18-21 gives instructions to parents how to go about having a disobedient son stoned to death, Judges 11:30-39 gives instructions how to sacrifice your daughter to God (and no, this time there is no last-moment intervention to stop the sacrifice), and, among other things, tosses in the New Testament Biblical family values as instructed by both Matthew (10:34-36) and Luke (14:26).
From ‘Keeping Marriage Biblically Correct’, we learn from Genesis (16:3) all about Abram and Sarai and how she gave him her maidservant Hagar for a wife and we also learn (32:22) about Jacob and his two wives and his two concubines. The booklet also gives useful tips on rape-crisis counseling (from both Deuteronomy and Leviticus) and how to find a wife (Deuteronomy and Exodus) and other useful bits of advice on how to live according to Biblical values.
However, unless one goes all the way back to wondering whom exactly did the sons of Adam procreate with if the only female in existence was their mother, Eve, there is nothing there about mothers dating their sons (though there is plenty about fathers impregnating their daughters…).
Perhaps Chick-fil-A will enlighten us all…
Al-Qaeda terror plot thwarted in Canada
April 22, 2013 — xanthippaThis strikes very close to home, as my family does use the Via railway through Toronto…
It was also said during that news conference that it was an Iran-based cell of Al-Qaeda which was supporting these Canadian terrorists.
While I applaud the work our police forces have done so far in protecting us from all forms of terrorism, I must admit I cannot support the beforementioned proposed bill, which would give police the power to arrest people for pre-crimes and which would make it a criminal offense punishable by a year in jail to refuse to testify before a judge. I’m sorry, but civil liberties must not be sacrificed on the altar of security.
We – as citizens – must never permit our government to ‘bypass’ civil liberties of citizens under any circumstances, even if those citizens are accused of as despicable things as acts of terror!
