More embarrassment from the worst US administration ever - ‘Pete Hegseth just prayed over the Iran war. He used the fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction. At the Pentagon's monthly worship service yesterday, the Secretary of Defense stood up, told military leaders what they hear in worship should "inform" their war decisions, and then read a prayer calling for "great vengeance and furious anger" on Iran. He said the prayer was called "CSAR 2517," standing for Combat Search And Rescue, and was based on Ezekiel 25:17. It wasn't. It was from Pulp Fiction. Specifically, it was the speech Samuel L. Jackson's character recites before executing an unarmed man. Tarantino wrote those lines himself. They are not in any Bible. They are in a Quentin Tarantino movie. The actual Ezekiel 25:17 has one sentence. The rest, including "the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," was invented for a 1994 film about hit men eating hamburgers. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." The Secretary of War read a fictional hit man's execution speech to bless an actual war. And then he said this: "Fifteen minutes ago I was talking about blockades with Admiral Cooper, and now we're going to study the Lord's word. May what we talk about, how we worship today, inform the remainder of our day and the remainder of our week." The man coordinating a naval blockade and potential strikes on Iran is citing Bible verses that don't exist. From a movie. To bless a war that has killed more than a thousand people and threatens to starve millions more. Pope Leo responded to Hegseth's earlier violent prayers on Palm Sunday. The Pope quoted actual scripture, Isaiah 1:15: "Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood." Archbishop Reinhard Marx of Munich called Hegseth's sermons "shameless blasphemy." This is the man in charge of American war.machine. The Crusader-tattooed former Fox News host who prayed for "overwhelming violence" at his confirmation. Who has fired Army leadership out of paranoia. Who invoked a movie as scripture to justify killing Iranians. You can’t make this stuff up.’

They seem to be, for a certain type of person who struggle with other people who don’t conform with their prejudices.

It is now doing the rounds that he was told to say that the picture of him as Christ had been “doctored,” which makes the whole situation even more insane. Give him advice on damage limitation and the deluded moron actually manages to make it worse!

It’s a shame that this article has omitted to mention that Lord Robertson is currently a lobbyist for American arms dealers. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/defence-spending-uk-war-keir-starmer-lord-robertson-b2957156.html#

Why? Reform are a relatively new party who now control a number of councils and are currently leading in the polls for the next General Election. Their leader is a highly divisive character and his party are hoovering up Tory votes. It would be odd if there wasn’t a thread about Reform. Given your support for Farage I am surprised that you question it.

Delighted for Archer. Well deserved MotM award from Sky. However Larin’s work rate was awesome tonight. What a signing he has been. Tonda has done an incredible job with this squad. What a turn around.

I don’t agree with turning the volume down. We are in danger of going down the same road as the US. For every extremist nutter you see there are dozens of people who quietly agree that people like Farage and Lowe “have a point” and swallow the nationalistic bullshit without bothering to look at what these people really stand for. Even if they don’t win the next election (🙏) they could win enough seats to cause bigger problems. They are already making huge waves with only a small handful of elected MPs. You only have to look at the number of MAGA idiots who still think that Trump is doing a great job to see what could happen here if we allow the lunatics to run the asylum.

Yet still some people support them. If this was Labour we wouldn’t hear the end of it and the would be hounded out of office.

He is clearly insane. How is this man still in office? Hopefully his days are numbered. The problem is just how much more damage can he cause before it is all over?

Indeed. He is now saying that the image was supposed to portray him as a doctor rather than JC. 😂

Trump’s JC stunt looks to have backfired big time. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-deletes-jesus-photo-pope-backlash-b2956771.html#

You make it sound like I go looking for it. I don’t. It appears on social media pages I look at. Clearly my algorithm provides content that is anti racist etc. so I get a regular stream of stuff slagging off far right dickheads, Reform and the like.

A satirical artist called Cold War Steve has posted a picture on X based on this image with Epstein in it. For some reason I couldn’t post it here. Maybe there is an issue with copying images from X?

Trump has posted a bizarre picture of himself as Jesus Christ. I’ve tried to copy it here but it won’t let me post it. Check it out if you can. Update - A large part of the image is reproduced in the article below https://www.wionews.com/photos/trump-shares-ai-image-of-himself-as-jesus-christ-after-slamming-pope-leo-as-weak-terrible-how-the-feud-began-1776051410819/1776051410820
