When the Turks found the Greek bishop Dionysios the Philosopher in 1611, they flayed him alive, stuffed his skin with straw, and paraded it from city to city. Eventually, this "attraction" reached Constantinople, where it was received with enthusiasm by the muslims.
When it passed below the sultan's seraglio, the sultan, hearing the commotion, rose from his throne and stepped out onto the balcony to see what was happening.
Three days later, the muslim Turks also discovered Deli Giorgos and Lambros. They burned Lambros alive, while they crucified Giorgos and, instead of a crown of thorns on his head, they drilled holes into which they placed feathers. Dionysios’s skin, together with the heads of 85 Greek Christian rebels, was sent to Constantinople, where it was thrown into the Sultan’s stables.
Afterwards, Osman Pasha carried out reprisals against the population of Thesprotia, while a climate of terror spread to Ioannina and throughout Epirus.
Many churches and monasteries were destroyed, such as that of Saint Demetrios at Dichouni, and their properties were confiscated. Many inhabitants of these areas were killed, enslaved, or forced to convert to Islam, while most of the survivors scattered into the mountains.
From the fall of Constantinople in 1453 until 1822, the Greeks suffered systematically unimaginable tortures and slaughters for their faith. It was barbarism that the human mind cannot imagine or comprehend. These are dark pages of history that the world does not know.
But you have learn and search about what the barbarians did in the name of their god.

Federal investigators uncovered a massive fake nursing diploma operation that ran through Haitian immigrant networks in South Florida, selling credentials to people who never completed the required nursing coursework or clinical training.
Investigators say the broader scheme involved roughly 15,000 fraudulent nursing diplomas and $250 MILLION.
Many buyers then took nursing board exams, obtained licenses and went to work in healthcare facilities across America.
Forget the money for a second. How many patients were treated by people who never actually completed nursing school?
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
Harvard Medical School has agreed to pay $53 MILLION to settle lawsuits after its former morgue manager was accused of stealing and selling human body parts donated to the school for medical research.
These were people whose families donated their bodies to help educate future doctors, only to find out pieces of their remains were being sold.
Imagine trusting Harvard with your loved one’s body and then finding out something like this happened.
How the hell does something like this happen at one of the most prestigious medical schools in the world without anyone stopping it?
Distraught mom takes to the internet after her autistic 5-year-old son was placed on the wrong school bus, and the bus driver let him off at a random stop without adult supervision.
The only reason her son made it safely back home was because a parent at the bus stop alerted the school that the child was alone and had no adult with him. A special education teacher then went to pick him up.
The school and the bus driver failed this mother, but most importantly, they failed her son.
Absolutely unacceptable!
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
When the Japanese TV show "Old Enough!" hit Netflix, international viewers watched with their jaws on the floor.
A 4-year-old toddler in a tiny coat walks alone down public streets, holding a little yellow safety flag to buy fish for his mom.
Viewers kept waiting for disaster.
Instead, they witnessed pure communal love:
When the child reaches a crosswalk, cars stop instantly. Drivers wait patiently with gentle smiles, waving him across with zero honking.
The neighborhood baker steps outside just to keep an eye on him as he turns the corner.
The fishmonger greets the boy like his own grandson, carefully counting his coins and tucking a little treat into his shopping basket.
"You walked all by yourself? What a brave big boy!"
That child isn't actually alone.
The entire neighborhood is acting as an invisible safety net.
A society built so safely that the world outside a front door doesn't feel like a jungle—it feels like an extended living room.
Khaled al-Asaad, a Syrian archaeologist and director of the Palmyra archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for more than 40 years. In August 2015, at the age of 82, he was publicly beheaded by the Islamic State after refusing to reveal the location of valuable Palmyren artifacts that he had hidden to protect them from looting. His son reported that he was tortured for weeks before his execution. His legacy as the guardian of Palmyra’s history continues to be remembered around the world.
🚨 HORROR IN PHILADELPHIA: POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING WHAT COULD BE A DECADES-LONG SERIAL-KILLING NIGHTMARE 🚨
A father and son. A house filled with hidden spaces. More than ONE MILLION photos and videos. Women appearing unconscious or DEAD. Chemicals. Cremated remains. And a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines.
This is REAL.
Investigators say 7 missing women have now been linked to material recovered from the Philadelphia home of deceased pornographer Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his son Eugene Horsch. Police believe 5 of those women are dead, but their bodies have not been recovered.
And authorities have only reviewed about 30% of the digital evidence.
Police reportedly recovered:
🔴 More than 1 MILLION images and videos
🔴 Footage depicting women appearing unconscious or lifeless
🔴 Five urns containing cremated remains, two of which authorities were still working to identify as of Wednesday
🔴 Vats and containers of mysterious chemicals
🔴 A 55-GALLON DRUM connected to water lines
🔴 Hidden compartments inside the house
🔴 Writings referencing TED BUNDY and methods of disposing of bodies
One development is especially chilling: investigators reportedly believe video exists showing Raymond Horsch killing a woman on camera.
The investigation exploded after Eugene Horsch was stopped with a woman carrying identification in the name of Blair Tonzelli, - woman missing since 2023. Eugene allegedly possessed guns, drugs and forged law-enforcement credentials.
But there is an important distinction: police said Wednesday they have not found evidence connecting Eugene to the dead or missing women, and he has not been charged with their killings. His current federal case involves gun and drug charges.
So authorities have not established a father-son serial-killer duo, but what investigators are uncovering inside the home the two men shared is becoming increasingly disturbing.
And with roughly 70% of the digital evidence still left to examine, the biggest question may be:
HOW MANY MORE VICTIMS COULD BE BURIED IN THOSE FILES?
Imagine waking up at 4 AM because your hotel bed is MOVING… then finding out there was a grown man hiding underneath you the entire time. 😳
That’s what happened to a Florida couple after the woman felt their bed move in the middle of the night. She went back to sleep, felt something underneath it again a few hours later, and when she finally looked down, there was a man staring back at her.
Police arrested 25-year-old Ritchel Calvaire, who had apparently stayed at the same hotel weeks earlier and had already been told not to come back.
The fact that this dude was under their bed for HOURS while they were sleeping is nightmare fuel. 💀
I’m checking under every hotel bed from now on. 😂
WOAH 🚨 This needs to be national news
American was part of a church protest group on 9/11 protesting Zohran Mamdani in New York City
She says they were given a police escort on their bus when they left, the police took them to a location in Harlem. All the sudden those police leave and different police come and stop them without any probable cause
They are questioned by a Muslim man in plain clothes
“There was a Muslim man in plainclothes, leather shoes, comes up and says, "Where you going?"
After telling the Muslim they were there to protest, the Muslim tells them they aren’t allowed in New York and gave them a ticket
“We're going back to the church. We're done with the protest." And he's like, "Well, you need to not come back to New York." And he's the one that gave the ticket to the bus driver. It wasn't even the cops. It was just somebody that, working for the mayor. The whole thing was a mob-style setup. I've never seen anything like it”
How is this happening in America? This is insane. This is intimidation likely because they are a Christian group opposing Zohran Mamdani
And here’s here it gets even crazier, people then show up to this exact location with rocks and bricks and start throwing them at the Christian’s bus (I’ll include the video proof at the end showing them actually throwing rocks at the bus)
The people we typically see throwing rocks and bricks are Antifa and Muslims
How did they know the exact location this bus would be at? There’s no way they could have known, this was a setup and there is video proof
It’s only going to get worse. This needs to be federally investigated and they need to find out who this Muslim man is
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after an elderly man who stopped at Walmart after church, told a Black female employee she'd nearly hit his wife with a cart and never apologized...
...the teen called her PARENTS who then BEAT THE ELDERLY MAN TO DE*TH in front of his wife of 42 YEARS!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
He asked a teenager to say "excuse me" and the teens parents k*lled him for it.
His name was Bert Atienza. He was 77 years old.
He and his wife Josephine had been married for FORTY-TWO YEARS and on Sunday, June 7th, they went to church.
Then they stopped at the Walmart to do their grocery shopping.
Josephine says a 17-year-old Black female employee came through with a heavy cart and nearly slammed into her.
No "excuse me." No apology. Nothing.
So Bert did what husbands do, he spoke up for his wife.
In his wife's words, he told that girl: "You almost hit my wife with your heavy cart, and you did not even say excuse me or apologize to her."
Josephine says the teenager then THREW A CAN at them as they walked away. It missed.
The elderly couple, not wanting any trouble, just kept shopping.
Minutes later, that girl's PARENTS showed up at the store, found the 77-year-old man and beat him to de*th.
In his wife's words:
"They crowded my husband, one of the adults hit him in the face. He fell down on the floor. I was terrified. I don't know what's going on."
The Medical Examiner's ruling: blunt head trauma.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
They say the devil hates his servants the most.
Here's why...
This painting is called Allegory of Satan, or Lord of the World, painted around 1900 by the Polish artist Ludwik Stasiak. It is not the devil you might expect. There are no flames, no chaos and no horns leering out of the dark. Stasiak painted something far more unsettling.
Here the devil sits enthroned like a ruler of the world, with a sardonic grin on his face, surrounded by the symbols of earthly power: wealth, ambition, domination. Evil, he suggests, never arrives as something horrifying that we instantly reject. It arrives as something attractive. It looks like success. It looks like money, and status, and control. It looks like everything the world tells us to want.
And that is what makes the painting feel so modern, more than a century after it was made. Stasiak was working at the turn of the twentieth century, an age obsessed, like ours, with progress, fortune and getting ahead. And he was warning that the most dangerous evil is not the kind that frightens us, but the kind that seduces us, the kind we serve willingly because it promises to make us powerful.
Which brings us back to the old saying: "the devil hates his servants the most." Look closely at what lies beneath his throne. Scattered at its base are the skulls of the powerful, still wearing their crowns and their helmets in death, the very people who traded their souls for money and power. And he sits above them, amused, because the joke is on them. This is why the devil hates his servants the most: he does not respect them for serving him, he despises them for it, because they handed over the only thing that ever mattered in exchange for things that rot.
It's my favorite depiction of Satan because Stasiak did not depict a devil we would run from, he painted a devil we would kneel to, and follow, and call our lord, mistaking our own chains for a crown. And I think that comes much closer to the truth. The artist was giving form to a warning as old as the Gospels themselves:
"No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and money."
“Communism has killed more souls than bodies, because its first victim is the truth”
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn believed that communism’s most devastating weapon was not physical brutality, but the deliberate destruction of truth. By compelling people to accept and repeat falsehoods, totalitarian regimes gradually eroded their moral principles, spiritual independence, and personal integrity.
Having survived the Soviet prison camp system, Solzhenitsyn argued that a society begins to collapse when its people abandon truth in exchange for survival. In his view, surrendering honesty under government pressure destroys human dignity and inner freedom, allowing oppression to take deeper root.
@mattvanswol@Steph93065 This happened in a small country town in SC recently.
Being a kind individual can be a dangerous experience in today’s society.
Be careful who you let near your loved ones-
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a White elderly couple in their 80s let a Black female stranger use their shower because they felt bad for her...
...she then ST*BBED THEM BOTH TO DE*TH!!!!
Now, she's pleading NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY.
Yes, you read that right.
Their names were Darryl and Sharon Getman. He was 83, she was 80.
They had been married for more than 20 years.
On December 30th, a woman named Vickie Williams was seen wandering a retirement community.
Security guards saw her.
Cameras caught her multiple times.
One resident was so unnerved by an encounter with her that they hit a panic alarm.
...then she knocked on the Getmans' door.
She asked if she could use their shower and charge her cellphone.
Darryl and Sharon Getman, 83 and 80 years old decided they should show some kidness...
...and they let her in.
Sometime between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., prosecutors say Vickie Williams grabbed a kitchen knife and brutally m*rdered them both.
A forensic pathologist testified they found of MULTIPLE wounds.
Both had defensive wounds, meaning an 83-year-old man and his 80-year-old wife spent their final moments fighting for their lives.
When police found Darryl, a butcher-style knife was still buried in his abdomen.
There were bloody footprints through the house and out into the garage.
Prosecutors say that after k*lling them, she WASHED HER CLOTHES in their laundry room while they
She took their car keys. And at 2 in the morning, a camera photographed the Getmans' green Kia Soul rolling out of that retirement community.
She drove it all the way to Savannah, Georgia.
And when she turned up at a man's apartment in Georgia days later, here is what he testified, under oath, this week:
"She told me she bought a new car."
She LIED about it and he said she was rushing inside "like somebody was after her or something."
She was arrested January 2nd at an Amtrak station in Savannah, still driving the couple's car.
And now, almost four years later, her defense is that she was suffering from 'psychosis" and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Prosecutors say she has an arrest record going back decades of assault and robbery.
Say their names. Darryl Getman. Sharon Getman.
