We have the US strike maps, and the school was actually one of the targets on the map.

But, what's one more lie to DJT? Nada.

"A female guard replied "If he is dead, we're going to cover it up and he's going to have an alibi " my officers," the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange.

Later, after learning Epstein had died, he said inmates said "Miss Noel killed Jeffrey."

He identified the female guard as Tova Noel, one of two correctional officers who were later charged with falsifying reports so that it appeared from their records that they had made their rounds that night " when they had not.

The charges against her and the other officer, Michael Thomas, were later dropped, but both were fired."

''

"The New York Post also reported on Saturday that Noel's bank flagged a $5,000 cash deposit she made to her Chase Bank account on July 30, 2019 " a week after Epstein was found in his cell in what prison officials concluded was a suicide attempt on July 23, 2019.

The official reports into that incident show that Epstein initially told prison officials that his cellmate had tried to kill him after extorting him for money.

The Post also reported that on the morning of Epstein's death on Aug. 10, Noel searched the term "latest on Epstein in jail" twice " once at 5:42 a.m. and again at 5:52 a.m., about 40 minutes before the other guard, Michael Thomas, found Epstein.

Her bank records, which are in the files, showed that Noel received thousands of dollars in cash and Zelle payments in the months before Epstein died. She has not been charged with any crime. The Miami Herald was unsuccessful in reaching her attorney on Saturday.

Epstein's former cellmate, Efrain Reyes, told prison officials that he told Epstein he would be safer if he paid inmates and guards for protection. Sources have told the Herald that Epstein did make protection payments.

Noel's bank records also reveal that she was making payments on a brand new Range Rover.

But she was not asked about the cash during her DOJ interview."

As many predicted, the next leader will be more radical than the last.

"FATHER'S "GATEKEEPER"
Mojtaba amassed power under his father as a senior figure close to the security forces and the vast business empire they control. He has opposed reformers seeking to engage with the West as it tries to curb Iran's nuclear programme.

His close ties with the elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) give him added leverage across Iran's political and security apparatus and he has built up influence behind the scenes as his father's "gatekeeper", sources familiar with the matter said.

"He has strong constituency and support within the IRGC, in particular amongst the younger radical generations," said Kasra Aarabi, head of researching the IRGC at United Against Nuclear Iran, a U.S.-based policy organization."

OK so, I usually don't post these because a lot of them are BS... but I do like seeing the kids appreciating good music. This one's a musician... and the song is apropos to these times:

"Satellite imagery from recent U.S. strikes on Iran indicates precise targeting of IRGC naval bases, with analysts identifying clear detonation centroids, including a strike that hit a school.

The attacks also targeted three nuclear sites using MOPs (Massive Ordnance Penetrators), resulting in blocked tunnel entrances.

Key Details of Recent Strikes:

Targeting Precision: Imagery showed "very precise" hits on buildings within an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base compound.

Affected Areas: Strikes were identified at a girls' school located within 100 yards of an IRGC naval base perimeter, and at a clinic."

That's absurd.... we have the bombing map the US used for the strike. Try reading more than you post.

- who choked out 1.2 million Americans.

And who murdered 600,000 people, and still counting, most of them children, most of them by starvation and lack of medicine... needlessly because with some warning other nations could have taken up the slack... and he did so to give himself and his Oligarch owners yuge tax cuts.

1Nut isn't here about issues; he's here to troll people who don't recognize his solely self-perceived vastly superior intellect.

"Professor Alexander is not just another born-again believer. He is a top-tier neurosurgeon, a Harvard graduate who devoted his career to understanding the human brain.

For years, he explained to patients, colleagues, and students that near-death experiences were nothing more than neural breakdowns under stress - a kind of "short circuit."

Then, in November 2008, his own system crashed. And he discovered something entirely different.

Alexander contracted a rare and deadly form of meningitis. Within four hours, he slipped into a deep coma, and his brain simply shut down.

EEG readings showed that his neocortex - the outermost and most advanced part of the brain's cortex, responsible for consciousness, emotions, thinking, and language" ceased functioning entirely."

excerpt from his story which is here:

"Sure. And actually you don't need to leave clinical neuroscience to make that
observation. Um, one of the reasons being things like near-death experiences
that have arisen um, with the arrival of resuscitation
capabilities.

So, people who have had gone into cardiac arrest have
been able to be resuscitated from a a state of essentially being dead. you know, their heart has stopped and once
your heart has stopped for more than about 3, four, five minutes, you know,
your brain stops functioning as well.

And and people um have been resuscitated
and said that actually when they were clinically dead, they were in fact vividly conscious.

Um so that that would
be an interesting data set that that is an interesting data set to look at that we now have sort of 50 to 60 years of
data that perhaps in its early stages you could take to be a bit more anecdotal
but we have actually several decades of of um publications in things like the
Journal of Near-Death Studies and the Handbook of Near-Death Experiences.

And they're taken seriously now in a way that they weren't perhaps a couple of
decades ago. Yes. and you have um academic papers being written on them and you also have
um people who have changed their views on the mind body relationship based on
their own near-death experience.

So we could take someone like Eban Alexander who was a former Harvard neurosurgeon and used to be a strict physicist that um you know if you don't have a functioning neoortex you can't be
conscious

until um and in fact his patients after
he'd operated on them would come and tell him they'd had NDEs and he would kind of dismiss it until he himself
developed a severe bacterial menitis at the age of 54 went into a coma His family were told to put their affairs in order. He was not expected to survive and yet extraordinarily he did and he
made a full recovery and recounts an extremely vivid conscious experience.

Um that is so vivid that it's very hard to explain. Yeah. And the one of the
go-tos often is that it's residual brain activity. And of course we can't rule
that out. I mean all we can say is there's no detectable activity in the brain using the current technologies
that we have but but at the same time the kinds of experience that people report
don't seem to be consistent with a brain in its last seconds of life you know
just kind of petering out these are there's a disproportionality
to the kinds of things people are reporting and what's happening in the brain.

Um and of course the fact that
someone would change their mind, change their viewpoint to a view arguably that
is considered much less popular amongst Harvard neurosurgeons
um than the predominant physicalist view that you are your brain.

Um prompts you
to ask well why would you do that unless you actually believed what happened to you was very genuine. It's amazing it happened
to him right after spending so many years working on it. Exactly. So I think it's fascinating.

I don't see it as a proof that we have a soul. I don't see it as a proof that there's a heaven or even that God
exists. But if we are just our brains, data like this makes no sense.

And all you need is one genuine instance of someone having an out-of body authentic near-death experience to really bring strong challenge to the view that you are just your brain.

that's hilarious

"Dr Sharon Dirckx, Cambridge-trained brain-imaging scientist and some time Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics speaker, for a wide-ranging conversation on the mind, meaning and what makes us human.

Sharon reflects on her journey from biochemistry into fMRI research, including work on addiction, and explains why consciousness remains a "hard problem" for purely material accounts of the mind.

They explore the language of "soul", what Christians do (and don't) mean by it, and why near-death experiences raise provocative questions about whether we are more than our brains."

I thought that's who it was, but I wasn't sure!

"Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir suggested the figure chosen to succeed the supreme leader would most probably be someone opposed by Washington.

He said the "Great Satan" " Iran's term for the US " had inadvertently done the assembly "a kind of service" by publicly criticising certain candidates. His remarks appeared to refer to comments by Donald Trump, who said it would be unacceptable for clerics to select Khamenei's son Mojtaba as successor.

"Someone opposed by the enemy is more likely to benefit Iran and Islam," Heidari Alekasir said."

As many of us have heard by now, U.S. military commanders have reportedly been justifying America's attack on Iran by invoking Bible prophecy " this according to a series of complaints made to a religious watchdog group.

But what if I told you that these military commanders are not only misunderstanding what the Bible teaches us, but that they actually helping to spread evil? Here's what I mean."
