The Secret CIA Campaign to Influence Culture: Covert Cultural Operations (2000)



A difficult but necessary post. The full report of the Dinah Project is out, showing systematic sexual violence by Hamas used on the 7 October massacres (and on hostages afterwards). The many incidents in six different locations suggest this was intentional, not incidental - sexual violence as a weapon.

Clear patterns of sexual violence emerge from the findings, including victims found partially or fully naked with their hands tied, sometimes to trees or poles; evidence of gang rape followed by executions; and severe genital violence. Sexual abuse also continued in captivity — released hostages reported forced nudity, physical and verbal sexual harassment, sexual attacks and threats of forced marriage.


More harrowing details in the piece: ynetnews.com/article/sjkasv5rx…

Sadly, this report was necessary. Too many people are denying sexual violence was part of these attacks, people who in other circumstances say #BelieveHer. Perhaps it complicates their simplistic 'good guys and bad guys' view of the world, clashing with the narrative of 7 October as an act of liberation.

Needless to say - except on social media - this doesn't justify the ongoing horrific death and destruction in Gaza. (And if that's what you thought I was getting at, please go away.)

Once again, many of us will agree with the position taken by the Scottish Greens;

as Maggie Chapmen MSP says:

'For a UK Prime Minister to sit there and talk about his shared values with this President should set off alarm bells in every institution and every voter in this country. Cosying up to a racist, misogynistic, climate-wrecking authoritarian like Donald Trump is the last thing we should be doing'!

yet here we are....

Especially the expression "family values", which was used, should be a red-red-red flag. Look at how the Trump government, together with Christian Nationalists and right-wing conservatives propose (and gradually install their view on) family values.

It's official! Masturbate as much (or as little) as you want.
ladbible.com/news/health/docto…
A doctor has provided her expert opinion on how regularly people should masturbate.

Even though this X-rated past time happens to be the most natural thing in the world for humankind, there still remains a sense of taboo around masturbation in some pockets of society.

In a video posted on her YouTube channel earlier this year, Dr. Jen Claude weighed in on the question of how much me-time is too much me-time, and her answer might surprise a few people.

## How often should you masturbate?

"Well, I've got some perhaps good news for you," she began. "Before I give you the answer let me remind you that masturbation is perfectly fine, okay? Masturbation actually can be a very healthy part of overall life and fulfilment, so I don't want you to think that masturbation is not okay."

Dr. Claude went on to state that the 'truth of the matter is: masturbate as much as you want', because there's 'no hard and fast answer' - pun probably not intended.

"There's not a top limit threshold. It's nothing like 'oh you can't masturbate more than this amount of times,' there's not a lower threshold, there's not a number of times in a day, a week, a month," she continued.

"Certain people masturbate multiple times a day, some people masturbate only certain times every few months depending on whatever. Some people masturbate when they're in a certain mood, some people masturbate at other times, it just depends."

She did warn that it's paramount not to let masturbation interfere with the rest of your life, though.

"The only caveat is you can masturbate as much as you want so long as it doesn't interfere with your daily life; it doesn't interfere with your mental wellbeing, it does not interfere with your relationships; interfere with your ability to go to your job or lead a happy, healthy, productive.

"In certain situations you can see how masturbation becomes compulsive, in which case we say that you need to be evaluated, you need to discuss this with a licensed professional, okay?"

## Benefits of masturbation

Masturbating in the morning can be an energy boost, didn't you know?

Dr. Sham Singh of The Handy previously revealed: "There isn't a certain time of day that’s better than any other, so it’s better for people to find their 'ideal' time that suits them.”

But it turns out that there are benefits to masturbating at certain times in the day, depending on what you're looking to achieve.

“For example, some might find it easier to sleep after masturbation at night because of the hormones released, which can help bring on relaxation. Others might prefer to do it in the morning because they find it energising," he added.

As for how this act of self-care improves sleep and relieves stress, the doctor explained: When it comes to physical aspects, it can relieve muscle tension, help to improve the state of sleep, and even relieve premenstrual tension caused by menstruation.

“It may also be understood as a minor psychological and stress-relieving exercise. Exploring one's body and preferences can also enable better communication and satisfaction in sexual relationships,” he mentioned as a mental health bonus. "Looking into the science of it, masturbating can stimulate the release of endorphins and other happy neurotransmitters that may include dopamine and oxytocin, thus increasing mood and reducing anxiety.”

Masturbation also aids in the relief of menstrual pain for women.

"The contractions of the uterus as a result of an orgasm are then followed by relaxation, which can relieve cramping," Dr. Singh noted.

## What happens when you stop masturbating?

According to an anonymous sex writer, there's so many ways that lack of masturbation can affect you and those around you.

Mood swings for one. "Masturbation withdrawal may sound far-fetched, but masturbation releases a delicious cocktail of feel-good chemicals and hormones and whatnots, so it seemed reasonable to me that my body was all like, 'Hey where'd that awesome stuff go?'" she wrote.

There's an extended period of untamed arousal too.

"The build-up to satisfaction went from minutes to days, sometimes a week," she revealed of her own experiences. "Orgasm became an event to be longed for and fantasised about instead of another item to check off my to-do list like dry-cleaning.

"Now when I found myself unexpectedly in the mood, my thoughts turned to 'Won't it be nice when my boyfriend gets home...' instead of 'Where the hell did I put that Hitachi Magic wand?'"

Pestering of your partner is certainly a side effect you want to avoid, as this'll really start to grate on them.

The writer said that she ended up 'getting a little desperate' after a while and joked that despite her other half being mostly happy to comply... [truncated]

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Fenster, auf dem Regentropfen sichtbar sind. Im Hintergrund ist ein atemberaubender Sonnenuntergang zu sehen, der von einem tiefen Blau zu einem warmen Orange übergeht. Die Wolken sind dünn und verstreut, und die Silhouette der Landschaft ist dunkel und undeutlich. Die Regentropfen auf dem Fenster verleihen der Szene eine ruhige und melancholische Atmosphäre. Die Farben des Himmels und die Regentropfen auf dem Fenster sind die Hauptthemen des Bildes.

Das Bild zeigt eine dramatische Landschaft bei Nacht, dominiert von einem massiven Gewitterwolkenfeld, das den Himmel bedeckt. Die Wolken sind dunkel und bedrohlich, mit einem leichten Glanz, der durch die spärliche Beleuchtung durchbricht. Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit spärlichem Gras und ein paar Bäumen zu sehen, die im Wind leicht bewegt werden. Ein paar Gebäude, möglicherweise Farmen oder Häuser, sind in der Ferne sichtbar, mit einigen Lichtern, die durch die Dunkelheit leuchten. Die Szene ist ruhig, aber die Wolken vermitteln ein Gefühl von Unruhe und Unvorhersehbarkeit.

Das Bild zeigt eine dramatische Landschaft bei Nacht, geprägt von einem dichten Gewitterhimmel. Der Himmel ist von schweren, dunklen Wolken bedeckt, die sich über die gesamte Breite des Bildes erstrecken und eine bedrohliche Atmosphäre schaffen. Die Wolken sind in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Grau und Schwarz, was auf eine bevorstehende Gewitterfront hinweist.

Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit trockenem Gras und vereinzelten Büschen zu sehen. Ein Haus mit einem dunklen Dach und ein weiteres Gebäude sind in der Nähe des Feldes sichtbar. Beide Strukturen sind von den Wolken im Hintergrund abgesetzt und wirken klein und verloren.

Einige Lichter sind im Haus und auf dem Feld zu erkennen, was darauf hinweist, dass es noch nicht vollständig dunkel ist. Ein Weg führt durch das Feld, und ein Schild ist am Rand des Weges zu sehen. Die Umgebung wirkt ruhig und still, obwohl die Wolken im Himmel eine unmittelbare Bedrohung suggerieren.

Im Hintergrund sind weitere Lichter sichtbar, die auf eine Stadt oder ein Dorf hinweisen, das sich in der Ferne befindet. Die gesamte Szene ist von einer düsteren Stimmung geprägt, die durch die Wolken und die schwache Beleuchtung verstärkt wird.

There is something in Roman Law called retroactivity, which is applied only if it's beneficial to the recipients of that regulation.

So, if you bought Assassin's Creed Origins in 2016 without that clause, and afterwards that clause is made effective, it only affects to people who bought the game after that change.

However, if something in the EULA is removed or changed for the better, it affects to every body, no matter what.

Not sure if it's the same in Common Law.

in reply to stux⚡

EULAs in general, aren’t worth anything because you only have one AFTER you purchase the product, so they claim ‘agreement of contract by default’, which is not how contracts work. You can fight any EULA and win, but it may take months, or longer. I beat Gateway Computers EULA but I had access to investigative assistance and could do it on my own. Anyone else would spend $$$ and take awhile to recover it. Fuck UBISOFT
