Fried Felons: Alabama Death Penalty May Return To Electrocution

By 1 Comment

Imagine, if you can, being strapped into a wooden contraption designed to send powerful electrical currents through your body, causing your veins to explode, your organs to melt and your feeble, broken frame to seize and shake uncontrollably … and then you die, your head still smoking from the electrodes hooked to the bald spot shaved into it, your limbs still trembling, mouth still frothing, the stench of burnt flesh permeating everything around you.

Apparently, to the so-called “pro-life” conservatives in Alabama’s House of Representatives, this scenario doesn’t sound too bad.

In fact, it sounds fantastic.

Airstrikes: The Ridiculous Revenge Strategy Against ISIS

By 2 Comments

ISIS recently released a footage showing the captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive in a Hollywoodish scene.

Technically, the brutal scene was professionally filmed. It was taken from various angles with high-resolution lenses. They also prepared the scene very well, as there was a cage and the fighters wore military uniforms inspired by traditional Afghani dress. ISIS succeeded in sending a brutal message to the world.

The message is also intended to terrify members of the coalition against them.

Airstrikes against ISIS’s locations are, so far, the mainstay strategy. However, al-Qaida affiliated groups have no pyramidal command, but are cluster groups that share a common ideology. They often fight each other for zones of influence. For example, ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra are bitter enemies, although they have the same ideology.

Why Is Saudi Arabia Bringing Down The Price Of Oil?

By 2 Comments

Getting directly to the point: why is Saudi Arabia, perhaps the major contributor to the continuing fall of oil prices pumping more and more oil, while losing a huge amount of revenue in the process, apparently “cutting off their nose to spite their face”?

Some say they are doing it to hurt Iran, others to cut investment in fracking …

In my opinion it could be quite simple: the kingdom is in real danger of being destabilized by the Islamic State (ISIS) and the “caliphate’s” main financing comes from selling bootleg oil.
