🇩🇪❌🇮🇷 — Germany recalled its ambassador from Iran as it protests the execution of an Iranian-German nationalist leader, reports The Associated Press

➡️ Germany protested to the Islamic Republic of Iran on Tuesday over the execution of Iranian German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, who was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 by Iranian security forces, and recalled its ambassador to Berlin for consultations.

➡️ The Foreign Ministry wrote on the social network X that Iran’s charge d’affaires in Berlin was summoned to hear “our sharp protest” against Tehran’s action and added that it reserves the right to take “further measures.” It didn’t elaborate.

➡️ He was one of several Iranian dissidents abroad in recent years either tricked or kidnapped back to Iran as Tehran began lashing out after the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers including Germany.

👑 Iran accused Sharmahd, who lived in Glendora, California, of planning a 2008 attack on a mosque that killed 14 people — including five women and a child — and wounded over 200 others, as well as plotting other assaults through the little-known Kingdom Assembly of Iran and its Tondar militant wing.

🇻🇪❌🇧🇷🤡 — In a threatening tone, the Bolivarian National Police, controlled by the Chavista regime in Venezuela, posted an image of Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) with his face smeared and the caption, “Anyone who messes with Venezuela suffers the consequences”

“Our homeland is independent, free, and sovereign. We accept no one’s blackmail, and we are no one’s colony. We are destined to prevail,” the post stated.

🔥 The post also tagged Diosdado Cabello, the Interior Minister and influential Chavista leader. Since tensions have escalated between the two countries, various regime officials have criticized members of the Brazilian government, although Nicolás Maduro has refrained from directly criticizing President Lula.

🚫 Additionally, Jorge Rodríguez, the President of the National Assembly and a key figure in maintaining Maduro’s power, announced plans to request that the legislature declare Celso Amorim, Lula’s close advisor, persona non grata.

🇻🇦🇯🇵 Pro-LGBT creator of Vatican ‘Luce’ mascot also behind DEMON adult sex toy designs

Tokidoki, the Italian brand which created the controversial ‘Luce and Friends’ mascots for the 2025 Jubilee Year, has collaborated on a range of ‘adult toys’ – the designs of which have been described and reviewed in strikingly similar terms to the Vatican mascot.

The toys were designed with a similar, distinctive tokidoki kitsch aesthetic to “Luce and Friends.”

In October 2016, Lovehoney launched its tokidoki product range. AVN Media Network wrote the following, naming Simone Legno (the creator of “Luce and Friends”):

Lovehoney no longer stocks these products, although they are still for sale elsewhere. The Wayback Machine shows the official Lovehoney product denoscription for one of the sex toys designed by the “Luce and Friends” creators, but it is too explicit to reproduce here.

In the interests of Christian modesty, we will not be linking to any sites or including any pictures.
