Torture

ToRture Just saw the famous torture pics. Empowered people torturing disempowered people isn't anything to be proud of -- it's weak and gutless. But the thickos aren't bright enough to know they're like something out of one of those inbreds-on-the-loose horror movies.

❌ G O O G L E SUCKS UKRAINE Poroshenko ❌ From recollection, this would simply have been a mocked up image of a painted Petro Poroshenko,  holding up an oversized corset instead of the EU flag, or whatever it was that he was publicly holding up, in the original image (used on copyright fair-use basis, obviously). Just a bit of well-deserved political ridicule, that Google has CENSORED. G O O G L E SUCKS ❌

Rossiya Segodnya photographer Andrei Stenin OSCE Checking Info About Russian Journalist Missing in Ukraine MOSCOW, August 8 (RIA Novosti) – The office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media is checking reports that Rossiya Segodnya photographer Andrei Stenin went missing in Ukraine earlier this week, a source in the organization told RIA Novosti Friday. “The office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media is checking the information about the disappearance of Andrei Stenin,” the source said. Earlier in the day, an informed source said that Stenin is currently being held by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in southern Ukraine. The SBU claimed it did not detain the Rossiya Segodnya photographer. Stenin went missing on August 5 while covering the events in Donetsk, Slaviansk and other eastern Ukrainian cities. According to sources at the headquarters of the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Donetsk, the Russian journalist could have gone to the city of Shakhtarsk with the militia’s press corps. The Russian Embassy to Ukraine is looking into the circumstances of the incident. Stenin’s abduction is not the first incident of mass media workers coming into harm’s way in Ukraine. Back in June, a cameraman for Russia's Channel-1 TV station was fatally wounded in the stomach.  Prior to that, a reporter and a sound engineer from Russia's VGTRK media holding were killed in a mortar attack near Luhansk.

    ITAR-TASS also reports:

“According to unverified information, he [Stenin] was captured by the Ukrainian National Guard forces,” Alexander Shtol, the head of the Rossiya Segodnya agency's photo service, said. “We have not yet managed to get in touch with him personally.”

Shtol earlier said that the journalist could have gone to the town of Shakhtersk with the militia fighting against pro-Kiev troops.

As far as I can see on news Google newsfeed, there's no update on the missing journalist. 

However, a human rights representative is calling for the Ukrainian government to explain reasons for the journalist's detention (if he is held by the government), and asking that the government ensure the journalist is promptly released or, should they have sufficient grounds to charge him, that he be charged and brought before the courts,  so he may be released pending trial.

VIDEO - Is Israel's IRON DOME Defence System a Hoax?

Is Israel's IRON DOME Defence System a Hoax? SOURCE - The Paulstal Service - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uM0J0LI1ymA

No idea.  Is that possible or is that far fetched?

Video's interesting.

Don't know what to make of it.

........................................................................

Just checked out the rest of the videos of the source.
Looks like there's a heap of hoax type videos on the site.
So I'm going to guess that anything can be made to look like a 'hoax' on video.
Therefore, I doubt the Iron Dome is a hoax.
