Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

Iran’s Prison Archipelago ~ This is the 14th century barbarian regime that our government is happy to “negotiate” with ~
The regime runs such a vast network of prisons and detention centers, many of them still secret, that it has taken on the dimension of a state within a state. This “Prison Archipelago,” similar in relative size and brutality as the network once run by the Soviet KGB, is the primary instrument of terror that keeps the Iranian ruling class in power […]
Tehran’s abysmal record on human rights should reveal to the world what to expect by way of compliance on any nuclear deal.

Planned Parenthood Makes as Much as $23 Million Annually From Selling Aborted Baby Body Parts ~ This story just gets more horrific by the day ~
… for Planned Parenthood selling the aborted babies for parts (even if it doesn’t seem like it’s a lot of money) “can make it even better to their bottom line.”
In other words, instead of having to pay very expensive fees to dispose of these murdered babies’ bodies, Planned Parenthood can get paid for the babies’ body parts.

U.S. Murder Rate Plunges as Guns in Public Proliferate ~ A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center that the leftie gun grabbers will conveniently ignore ~
According to the study, the number of concealed handgun permits skyrocketed from about 4.5 million in 2007 to almost 13 million in 2014 — and that does not include millions of people carrying concealed firearms in the growing number of states where no permit is required. During that same time period, U.S. murder rates plunged some 25 percent, from 5.6 killings per 100,000 to a mere 4.2, even further below the global average of about 7 (and America has far more guns in private hands than any other nation). Overall violent crime also plunged by about 25 percent during the period.
Liberal Study Unintentionally Reveals Nationwide Illegal Alien Crime Spree ~ More inconvenient facts. The report estimates that…

“I am a parish priest in Aleppo, a place where God never ceases to amaze us” ~ Father Ibrahim Alsabagh’s faith enables him to provide hope and encouragement in the midst of war-torn Syria ~
Are you afraid now?
“Every day. But my fears are overcome by the grace of the Lord, who acts and so often leads us to do things we never imagined we could do. Even now I am here, I feel like a father, a gentleness inside and I say to myself: “I am not usually this kind, this loving! I don’t have the strength to love this much!”
Please remember Fr. Ibrahim and the rest of the persecuted Christians in the Middle East in your prayers.
