All of thier promises, no matter their protestations and vascillations, have fallen short. Baghdad is no shining city on the hill. It is still an oversized slum. Socialism, even in its softened form, still reings over government policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats will do nothing better. But both parties are failures as far as rationality and common sense go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best one can hope for in Novemember is for the American people to sit out the election. That is the only thing rational people have left. If one side is digusting, and you vote for the other exepecting a difference, and still get the same, then it is time for a third way. If this third way does no exist it is time to change tracks or give it up altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only question for this country is this: Who is going to wed themselves to lady liberty, the wayward woman of the west? Who, mind you, is going to decide to take up that mantle and do what needs to be done. We dont need another party but a national policy which is workable. To do this we need a man or woman without pause- a person who cannot and will not be paused. Such a person may be impossible to find in the modern era. To modern is to be medicore. We need no more mediocre leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do this we must break the two party paradigm of feint and countefeint. This game which they play is very remiscient of the Roman famlies, and the battles between the Optimates and the party of the people. The dueling Italian families laid the genesis- so aptly captured in many offhand conversations in the Godfather- of the Italian mob. Thier tactics and infighting, for better or worse(and pragmatically I have to say better) led to the rise of Julius Ceasar and the beginning of the Roman Empire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And be honest. What president since Roosevelt hasnt broken the constitution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game may be fun, but the wager is survival. Gambled away is the chances for a better future.

Such are the state of things that my life has gone out of balance. In every person's life one must maintain a balance between work and play; between money making and that "other" which people routinely call free time. To be frank, I am the intellectual type; it is these goods, those of contemplation, that I have sought out. So I have been in the process of straightening the money side of my affairs out. Yes, that all could have been communicated succinctly in one sentence, but how boring!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question for any who read this: Why blog?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now honestly, this is not an attack om this activity. I think blogging has accomplished great things. It has increased my sanity, sharpened my mind, and given soenm hope for civilization. For one thing, it helps combast bias in the meioda(whether you percieve that bias as right wing or left wing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why pursue this activity? Politcs is certainly a subject of concern for many blogs. But do those in Washington listen? Is anything changing? or is this country and the civilization it heads headed for death?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this activity really convince the other side? Or is this simply preaching to the choir?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can we bloggers do to be more effective? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just some questions.....Come hither, Come all! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any who cares to respond, do so.

No this is not one only of material, but one of her very soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her armies, mighty, furious, and focused, were not employed properly. Her soldiers were not given proper training, her reservists were allowed to grow fat, and her supply of weapons not sufficent.  But they marched into Lebanon, with a seemingly mighty hand of power, only to be stopped; first by the ruffians of Hezbollah, then by the craven and cowardly political class which roams the halls of the U.N., White House and sadly enought the Knesset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all hoped earnestly for the best, for the Israelis to do what was necessary. Israelis did as well. By all indications, their people were more united than evey before, in fact as united as Americans were after 9-11, and yet, they were betrayed by their leaders. This loss is due not to the anti-tank missles, or any such pitiful weapons. It is due to political cowardice.&lt;br /&gt;I postponed any commenting about the ongoing war for the very reason that any "Go Israel" remarks may have been premature. Israel has been defeated. The Arabs have stopped and thrown back Zion. So it is. So it always shall be. The Arabs, being historically minded(even if their version fo the facts are in fact not facts) will always remember this. Maybe those Jihadis that were seething to enter Lebanon didnt have time to arrive. No, Israel balked before they could even employ the Afghanistan strategy. The West Bank is next. After that, so is Israel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In researching Oswald Spengler, I came across the "Clash of Civilizations" and followed some links. Here is the &lt;a href="http://www.clashofcivilisations.com/html/military_conflict_civilisations.html"&gt;Islamic view of the world&lt;/a&gt;. Note that SPAIN is mentioned as occupied territory in the same way that Israel is(except that Spain at least is refered to by its name not by "The Entity").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The magnitude of the  Israeli defeat is clear in light of the following facts: Israel had to evacuate the entire northern side of their nation. Nearly a million people, close to a fifth or sixth of the population, had to leave home. Reserves were called up. Huffing and puffing, the politicans declared that they would hunt down Nasrallah. So they said. So they did not do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But can you blame Israel? From the beginning they were doing yeoman's work in sending off the Party of Allah to the Ungodly Brothel. And from the beginning, the cowardly Enemy of the State Department was making demands. Condolezza wanted them to be good Jews and die quietly like millions of their forefathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran is behind Hizbullah, and via Syira, was certainly involved. It is rumored that Revolutionary Guards fought and even commanded some of the Hizbullah. This is disturbing not only to Israel, but to us. Now the Iranians have combat tested ability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hizbullah supply lines were not cut, and Israel followed foolish rules of engagment, never able crush its enemy. All along our State Department proceeded to call for the Lebanese government to stop Hizbulah, and treated Hizbullah as some unpopular entity. Thus we now have an irrational peace at the expense of a reasonable and justified war. That my friends is an injustice.&lt;br /&gt;This attack, do not forget, was designed to do two things. First to probe Israel and try to see if it would fight back. Second to distract the false entity known as the "international community" from pressuring Iran. Both worked. Israel is once again shown to be ruled, like all Western Nations, by a pack of shameless cowards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Western World is now losing this war. This is simply the start. For an ananalysis go&lt;a href="http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/08/weaponizing_civ.html"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Israel did damage its enemy. This should be counted as a victory by all. They were taken aback, as we all were, by the Israeli response. And we have managed to postpone a higher-intensity World War. We are still in one now, but one of lower intensity. But as reason dictates, this peace is a false one, and this lack of intensity only a prelude, for this placid illusion will be broken by mass converted into pure energy over an Amnerican city. And that is the positive note. For the political pessinmists were right all along so say that Israel would not go all the way. We all had hope. What a folly that hope was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the current crop of American political leaderhsip we can have little hope for the future. Such a leadership as ours has blundered even the low intensity wars. If such a war-strategy as we saw in Iraq was deployed against a real enemy, like China, we would be swept aside and crushed. Another thing, China has a new ideal of manifest destiny. Its called the Middle Kingdom. Look into it. Its so tolerant of them. If we do go to war with China with our current batch of politcal leaders we will be destroyed. Our political leaders are some of the gravest threats to individual, national and civilizational survival. We can only lose this war if we let them lose it for us. That goes for both parties in Washington, and all nations, from India to Europe, who are battling the Islamic menace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taqiyya? We dont speak Arabic, dont bother us with such terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negotiation with terrorists is a good way to go. Just ask the Quraysh Meccans who signed Hudabiyya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to popular belief, peace is not to be had at any price. Contrary to what you have heard, peace is not preferable to a just war. Indeed, in some cases, it can be downright deadly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115609275355565004?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115609275355565004/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115609275355565004' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115609275355565004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115609275355565004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/08/israel-vanquished.html' title='Israel Vanquished'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115601707821422004</id><published>2006-08-19T12:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-21T00:23:56.060-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ethics in an Age of Decline</title><content type='html'>In the unfolding of the lives of civilizations we can see a disturbing pattern. Any student of history instantly becomes an interpreter of it, seeking an example to judge by. History becomes the judged and the judge; all in one, all in interrelationship. History is a mirror to our time and also our time a mirror to history. Each civilization- that is a large grouping of individuals- eventually loses the will to survive. How does this happen? But this loss of the will is a later stage of something which begins much sooner. The historical student looks at history, and will always see echose of it in his time. The philosophers of a nation decide its course, they alone, thoughout all history, have commanded the development of all fields of knowledge. When the philosophers run away, or when they adhere to negativistic attitudes, they allow their nations to perish. This is why I began to undertake the study of philosophy. Everywhere The great ideas had melted away, and all greatness had been flooded out. But every problem in our society has its root in a failure of philosophy. This is why a philosophical peice is necessary on a essentially political blog. &lt;br /&gt;In Kant, before the birth of the United States, we see the beginning of a search for a rational basis for many aspects of Biblical Doctrine. While many scholars hold Kant to be anti-religion, his ethics in fact mirror basic Christian doctrine. So before the United States was a nation ethics was already thought to replace religion in some respects. The razing of the idols would come later. That stage was yet to enter into the minds of men. Ethics is thus of paramount importance. For men whoese minds have grown weary of all objective claims, it holds the key to understanding how to conduct oneself.&lt;br /&gt;But was is ethics? In one sense it can be interpreted to men the study of virtue. It can be the study of the ideal, and in the works of the classical biographers we see it manifested in the study of greatness. A great man is not simply a work of art, a life of brilliance, but a noble paradigm. To keep ones individual paradigm correct is the first duty. A man must have heroes. He cannot exist otherwise. They cannot only be literary; they must be actual. For the actual hero is the precedent, the precent that there exists no precedent. Ethics is the study of virtue. That is the study of excellence. Through the ethics of the individual, the building block and self-contained being which is part of all society, we can understand ethics of society, and our current creeping malaise which is infecting all facets of national life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A virtue is a settled disposition to act in a certain way; justice, for instance, is the settled disposition to act, let's say, so that each one receives their due. This settled disposition includes a practical knowledge about how to bring it about, in each situation, that each receives their due. It also includes a strong positive attitude toward bringing it about that each receives their due. Just people, then, are not ones who occasionally act justly, or even who regularly act justly but do so out of some other motive; rather they are people who reliably act that way because they place a positive, high intrinsic value on rendering to each their due and they are good at it. Courage is a settled disposition that allows one to act reliably to pursue right ends in fearful situations, because one values so acting intrinsically. Moderation is the virtue that deals similarly with one's appetites and emotions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Human excellence can be conceived in ways that do not include the moral virtues. For instance, someone thought of as excellent for benefiting friends and harming enemies can be cruel, arbitrary, rapacious, and ravenous of appetite. Most ancient philosophers, however, argue that human excellence must include the moral virtues and that the excellent human will be, above all, courageous, moderate, and just. This argument depends on making a link between the moral virtues and happiness."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the concept of arete. To reject justice and ethics is to reject excellence. An immoderate man given an immoderate worldview is likely to be immoderate towards the world. The damage he does here depends on the depths of his intelligence and wit. If a truly terrible man is endowed with intellect he may become this immoderate tyrants. A man given to his pathetic appetites, and stuck in his sloven weakness, who mistakes rapine nd death for productive activite and upholds the active over the comteplative will end up woshipping on himself. This self-worship will feed the ego, which will then free itself from all earthly conerns- free itself from all reality, leading to the downfall of the man. This is the beginning of the tragic. It finds its birth in the denial of the sublime. The egocentric man is not an egoist; but simply an ego. His own mind will never move beyond his own bounds. Concered with power, the egocentric will seek power by the easiest route. He will choose the worst among his peers, the silly, the stupid and the broken- among them he will spead his crop. It will come to yield in a storm of tears. Only then will he be confronted with his folly. An egoist by contrast will reject the power gained through manipulation and seek power by the truest means. An egoist is not a liar; that would destroy his own truth and destroy him. I defend egoism as a more rationally selfish philosophy than simple ego-centrism. We must be fair in our investigations of these matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But in speaking of their happiness, they might just as well be referring to their absorption in some successful activity. For ancient philosophers eudaimonia is closer to the secondary sense of our own term"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We in the English speaking world have forgotten the original sense of the term. Our original meaning of the term, as enshrined in the constitution, kept to its Greek/Latin root. Thus as the Founding Fathers set forth the pursuit of happiness they meant it in a Classical sense. American government was based on the classical models. The Classical Age was known, its philosophies studied, and its ideas implemented. Foremost among them was the eudaimonia; but now this happiness, has come to mean the feeling of euphoria, not fulfillment or flourishing. Aristotle and the founding fathers had a better account than our consensus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In turn, someone may have such goods as health, wealth, good birth, and beauty, as well as the virtues of justice, moderation, courage, and wisdom (279a-c). Wisdom is the most important, however, because it is a kind of knowledge, like carpentry, about how to use the other assets so that they are beneficial (281b-c). Moreover, all of these other so-called goods are useless in fact, even harmful without wisdom, because without it one will misuse any of the other assets one may possess, so as to act not well but badly. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To illustrate the virtue of moderation in the age of excess is easy. Let us use the example of waves. Does not the crashing wave simply break feebly against the rock of the beach? What of the ebbing low-tide; do it not simply lap pitifull, never noticed? Another might object and say, What if the water is trying to best the rock? It is only made truer by this- that the moderate wave will not break, nor will not ever touch the rock, but will hammer away at it persistently. Even his persistence will be in moderation, as he pulls away form the shore trime to time. Moderation is key in his philosophy, the Golden mean is his ideal, something echoed by Confucius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;".........reason corresponds to rulers, the spirited part (thymos) to auxiliaries, and appetites to artisans. Each psychological part has a characteristic function. Like the rulers with respect to the city, reason exercises forethought for the whole soul (441e). The spirited part becomes angry, both with oneself and with others, mostly about injustice (439e ff), and in general provides emotional support for reason's rule. The function of the appetites for food, drink, and sex is not mentioned but seems to be the biological basis for life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-ancient/"&gt;http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-ancient/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will find those who do not believe in morality, or whose ethical codes consists in conceding to the opposition. The first problem is easy to figure out. Those who do not believe in ethical dealing are no excellent. These men, embodied in the philosophy of Frederich Neitzche do not believe in happiness. It cannot occur to them. Power is their aim. This power is other-oreinted, that is the power-mad are enslaved by their passion for power. It was said first by Plato and echoed down through our time lastly by Ayn Rand. Those who do not believe in virtue will never achieve it. They will disappear from this earth as if they had never lived. The second type of person is more pitiful. This type does not fully believe that which they profess, making their ideas powerless. Any ethical idea must have all the power it can behind it, or it is not worth holding. Tolerance is borne of a weakness of principle, not a strength of idealogy. In philosophy and religion it becomes deadly. These examples of men can also be extended to large social groups. In groups you can see the same dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"(A) Some agents, having reached a decision about what to do on a particular occasion, experience some counter-pressure brought on by an appetite for pleasure, or anger, or some other emotion; and this countervailing influence is not completely under the control of reason. (1) Within this category, some are typically better able to resist these counter-rational pressures than is the average person. Such people are not virtuous, although they generally do what a virtuous person does. Aristotle calls them continent (enkratês). But (2) others are less successful than the average person in resisting these counter-pressures. They are incontinent (akratês). (The explanation of akrasia is a topic to which we will return in section 8.) In addition, (B) there is a type of agent who refuses even to try to do what an ethically virtuous agent would do, because he has become convinced that justice, temperance, generosity and the like are of little or no value. Such people Aristotle calls evil (kakos, phaulos). He assumes that evil people are driven by desires for domination and luxury, and although they are single-minded in their pursuit of these goals, he portrays them as deeply divided, because their pleonexiatheir desire for more and moreleaves them dissatisfied and full of self-hatred."&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-ethics/"&gt;http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-ethics/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stocism was the reigning philosophy of ancient Rome. It valued "manliness" or courage. This courage was physical as well as moral. Peace of mind was valued, but not to the extent of Epicurean hedonism. It also had an active component. It was soil in which the seeds of Christianity were planted. Christ's message provided a spiritual dimension to an ethical and worldly system. According to Epicetus, the famous Stoic, life was aggravation. Man had to prepare and train himself for stress, and should work on controling his reaction rather than the situation. Some things are in a person's power. Most of this "power" was internal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Make it your study then to confront every harsh impression with the words, 'You are but an impression, and not at all what you seem to be'. Then test it by those rules that you possess; and first by thisthe chief test of all'Is it concerned with what is in our power or with what is not in our power?' And if it is concerned with what is not in our power, be ready with the answer that it is nothing to you. (Handbook 1.5, trans. Matheson)"&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.iep.utm.edu/e/epictetu.htm"&gt;http://www.iep.utm.edu/e/epictetu.htm&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...His examples are people who are asleep, mad, or drunk; he also treats the akratic as someone like a student who has just begun to learn a subject, or an actor on the stage (1147a10-24). All of these people, he says, can utter the very words used by those who have knowledge; but their talk does not prove that they really have knowledge, strictly speaking."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the people who will simply grace a subject and draw erroneous conclusions. They are dangerous. Some acadamecians never pass this stage. The current malaise in academia, its lack of teaching and terrible leftward bend, are all examples of this. That is why philosophy, and in particular Greek Patristic though, are nearly suppressed. They are removed from general curiculum. Philosophy, the foundation of all science, is generally not required. No one in a select discipline may be required to take a look at the disciplines roots. Thus the Physicist may never study metaphysics. The biologist may be ignorant of naturalism . And it goes on. The doctrine of Immoralism finds key allies in the advocates of tolerance, cannot be taken seriously by any reasonable individual beyond their adolescent years. In order to avoid being examined, or being challenged, the immoralists declare themselves free of all judgement. They declare freedom- freedom from reproach. That is they decide to deny reality. The Immoralist produces nothing, despite his attacks on others- he is known by his fruits- which if they come to crop are rotten. You can apply this description to deviants of your choice. They are leigion&lt;br /&gt;It was Oswald Spengler's breakthrough to propose not just a cyclical theory of history but a parallel theory of history. It is an interesting way of seeing things; one can see many parallels between this age and the Hellenistic. Greek thought at that time had become exhausted. This today is true of the European philosophy. But today it is also true of America, but not in the same way. America never really had a philosophy. Its overall though could be termed Pragmatic Deism. Hellenism gave way to the invasion of Eastern ideas including Christianity. The establishment of America is similar to the establishment of Rome in one regard- they offered only a strong outer vaneer ot what amounted to a decaying soul. The Hellenistic philosophers also had to account for the erosion of religion- in this case Greek paganism. No educated man took seriously the whole package deal of Greek mythology. One can see that anyone alive beyond the Mycanean Age knew the tales of Mount Olympus to only be tales. Thus they were faced with a more general acceptance of the anti-religious attitudes than the sudden outbreak of it we see today. Greco/Roman-Hebraic thought is much more mystical. It is much deeper. It is much more moral.(and as far as a reasonable man can see, mostly true)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek paganism was so devod of basic ethical teaching that it took a man such as Socrates to preach the simple idea of justice, and idea so taken for granted. Christo-Hebraic thought was in many ways more advanced, despite its derision by post-modernist "thought". Its destruction is an act of seppuku gleefully carried out; and the self-gutting is much more slow, with the body of the West crying terrible with each slice. The philosopher of this century will be faced with the uneviable task of providing atheistic justification for everything from civil authority to marriage itself. Such is the moral destruction at present. If God is removed, the metaphysical and nearly Platonic Absolute, the masses have nothing to hold them back from base passions. So while ethics can for some be a replacement for religion the fact remains that the majority of the populace has not the time nor the energy to sutdy its doctrine. Thus George Berkley, the radical idealist, famously said: "Truth is the cry of all but the game of the few."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We Theists also must fight. But ours may be a losing battle. The people today are thirsting for new Gods. It is clear that this new God will not be Brahmin, Buddah or Mother Earth. The disturbing question remains: Which faith is left standing for the people to seek after? Which faith has refused to compromise? Which strange God will our grandchildren come to worship?&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the Stoics had it all figured out after all. Impressions. All impressions....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115601707821422004?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115601707821422004/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115601707821422004' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115601707821422004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115601707821422004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/08/ethics-in-age-of-decline.html' title='Ethics in an Age of Decline'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115601530870777387</id><published>2006-08-19T12:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-19T12:21:48.733-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Links</title><content type='html'>I have updated my links section to include the websites I regularly visit.

Yahweh does call for war, he tells the Israelites to take no mercy. Not because Israel is moral, not because it is great, not for Paradise or to avoid Hell, but because the Caanaties were evil. Tradition relates that the Caananitites practiced forms of human sacrifice. Moses died and the scepter passed to Joshua. In a series of brutal campaigns Joshua subdued and destroyed many of the cities of the Caanaites, depopulating them utterly. Thus was Caanan defeated, and the worship of Baal lessened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tale was alrgely tasken as a Jewish Jihad, as an uprovoked attack upon peaceful peoples. The tales of the perverse nature of Caananite worship were called slanders and tall tales. That is until, like always, Bible skeptics were hit with archaelogical evidence. Ugarit Epics were found which told tales of perverse deities who tortured men for fun, and of gods whoese care was not for men but for themselves. It told tales of dieites, the moon-deity Baal foremost among them, who demanded human blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deites strikingly similar to today's Allah, to the reincarnation of the terrible Mesopotamian gods, whose mode of sacrifce has a new name, that of Jihad, and whose followers still place thier children upon altars, albiet ones of a more explosive type. One could even say that the ancient Caananites were actually morally superior to today's Jihadists, for at least in the immolation of their children only their children were slain. But Allah demands more. Allah demands the death of the infidels, until he is worshipped alone. Then Allah can get down to what he is best at. Allah roast men in Hell. He takes pleasure in destroying infidels. He has boiling water poured down their throats, and thorny bushes fed to the unfaithful. But to those who decide to roast the hated infidel on earth is the promise of the sick and brothel like "Garden of Bliss". Islam is a religion of works, where the only surest way to gain Paradise is to kill infidels. These are the facts of the doctrine of fundemental Islam- that is Islam as it was first taught, and has been implemented ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The history of Islam has been accounted for scores of times on this blog and others. Its teachings- vile and depraved- have finally been exposed. But the question remains: What now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The information age is a two-edged sword; for the very same technology which is used by today's terrorists can be usedd by any concerned citizen to find the truth regarding the matter of Islam. Indeed this is the first step. But it has been taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a step two. If we do not take such a course, Christianity itself will be sumberged to the Muslim. As related above, there are countless occuranaces of "holy" war, which we would now call Just War, that occur in the Old Testament, and these examples must be used again. These examples serve as a theological prism by which we can view Islam; as the logical modern continuation of moon-god worship and Baal sacrifice as praticed in the Caananite-Phonecian civlization. Foremost in Phonecian civilization is the city of Carthage. The archaelogical evidence there speaks of horrfic numbers of sacrifical victims. The Roman chronicles spoke of such a thing. Now we face an enemy which openly sacrifices its young. They worship death. In their candid moments many Muslims would agree. It is brandished by their thoeriticians like a badge. "We worship death, the infidels/Thagout/Shaitan worship life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is exactly why Yahweh commanded the Caananites be eradicated to a man. Being Deity, He saw the logical unfolding of such cults. But Islam is worse. What examples do we have to follow if we are to proceed forth in our wa against fundemental Islam?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether it be Gideon's destruction the invading Midianites, David's rapid conquests, or the expedition of the kings of Judah there are various approaches to take. But the message from the Old Testament is loud and clear. Such a cult as Islam, such an evil, such an unclean thing, cannot be tolerated. Its toleration leads to rot, decay and destruction. Spiritual, temporal and total. Destruction which we see today across the world, destruction in which Islam is engaged in. Ninety percent of the planets wars involve Muslim fanatics. It turns out Yahweh, the God of the Bible, was right. His detractors were wrong. For we have not "cast down thier idols", and they will in turn cast down ours, beginning with Lady Liberty and ending with the Crucifix. We can tolerate his principles which call for our death and submission; or we can decide not to tolerate the intolerable and thus survive. That is the message of the Old Testament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men have fought this same enemy before, albiet in different times, but their experiences are worth noting. We must remember them, we must spread thier name wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first of the great anti-Jihad heropes hails from the Eastern Roman Empire, whose lands were invaded first by Muhammad at Muta and Tabuk and later lost after the battle of Yarmuk and the seige of Damascus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Leo entered Constantinople on &lt;a title="March 25" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_25"&gt;March 25&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="717" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/717"&gt;717&lt;/a&gt; and forced the abdication of Theodosios III, becoming emperor as Leo III. The new emperor was immediately forced to attend to the &lt;a title="Siege of Constantinople (718)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Constantinople_(718)"&gt;Second Arab siege of Constantinople&lt;/a&gt;, which commenced in August of the same year. The Arabs were Ummayad forces send by Caliph &lt;a title="Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulayman_ibn_Abd_al-Malik"&gt;Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik&lt;/a&gt; and serving under &lt;a title="Maslama" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslama"&gt;Maslama&lt;/a&gt;. They had taken advantage of the civil discord in the Roman Empire to bring a force of 80,000 men and a massive fleet to the &lt;a title="Bosphorus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosphorus"&gt;Bosphorus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Careful preparations and the stubborn resistance put up by Leo wore out the invaders. An important factor in the victory of the Romans was their use of &lt;a title="Greek fire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_fire"&gt;Greek fire&lt;/a&gt;. The Arab forces also fell victim to Bulgarian reinforcements arriving to aid the Romans. Leo was allied with the Bulgarians but the chronicler &lt;a title="Theophanes the Confessor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophanes_the_Confessor"&gt;Theophanes the Confessor&lt;/a&gt; was uncertain if they were still serving under Tervel or his eventual successor &lt;a title="Kormesiy of Bulgaria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kormesiy_of_Bulgaria"&gt;Kormesiy of Bulgaria&lt;/a&gt;. Unable to continue the siege in the face of the Bulgarian onslaught and lack of successes, the Arabs were forced to abandon their ambitions on Constantinople in August, 718. Sulayman himself had died the previous year and his successor &lt;a title="Umar II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar_II"&gt;Umar II&lt;/a&gt; would not attempt another siege. The siege had lasted 12 months."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_III_the_Isaurian"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_III_the_Isaurian&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus was Islam stopped in the east. Had they not been stopped, large tracts of Eastern and Central Europe would have submitted to the Islamic sword, and in turn, like all of its victims become its sword. In the West the tale was decided not in a massive seige but in open battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Martel met the Saracen on the feild of battle and drove them from his land. Weilding axes and broadswords the Frankish infantry held against the Islamic cavalry and carried the battle. This reversed the tide of conquest which began at Jib-al-Tariq in 711. The victory did not stave off the Muslim assaults which continued for many centuries. The Moslems are warlike lot, and having no economy they could not simply subsit on honest labor. The Muslims continued their attacks until the time of the Crusades. But they would not have France yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next example comes from the east, from the lands of the Mongols, from Central Asia, a yet un-Islamic area at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hulagu Khan launched a little known Asian Crusade. Coming from deep in Central Asia, he gathered up Mongol forces and set out. The eastern Kwarazem-Shah(Persia+Afghanistan+Uzbekistan) Empire had already been eradicated for its arrogant treatment of the trade mission's of Hulagu's father; Genghis Khan. But this was different. This time it was not only Mongols but also Caucasian peoples like the Alans, who took up the sword and repayed the Muslims their deeds to their face. Arriving at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Baghdad_(1258)"&gt;Baghdad in 1258&lt;/a&gt; Hulagu sent word to the Caliph demanding he surrender. The soon-to-be last Abbasid refused. He felt safe inside the great jewel of Islamic "culture". Within a few weeks the Mongols breached the walls using Chinese built seige engines. Allah was curiously AWOL. Hulagu's Mongols scourged the entire city. Only the Christian population was spared. Hulagu had been urged to have mercy on them by his Nestorian Christian wife. The Korans and Hadith collections were not given undue respect. They were given their due- tossed headlong into the Tigris. Mosques were entered. Worshipers were slain. Horses were allowed to feed within their walls. The Caliph and his retinue surrendered, but he was put to death nonetheless. The sources disagree on his final fate, but one version has him being stuffed into a sack and trampled to death by Mongol horses. All told, eight-hundred thousand were killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the course of this campaign the Islamic group called the Assassins was destroyed. This group was so radical it slayed other Muslims. Its small bands carried out the medieval version of today's suicide attacks. They snuck into the tents of leaders and killed them, then offered their breasts to the swords of the leader's retinue. Hulagu set to work against them. In short order he hunted them in their strongholds. They too were destroyed or surrendered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Islamic world was nearly destroyed. In the course of all of this killing the heart of the Sunni world was ripped out, the great Shia Empire disappeared, and the Assassins destroyed. This Islamic world was not to offer a serious threat to the West until the coming of the Ottoman Turks. This period of dislocation of the Islamic Imperialist machine was truly unprecedented. But for the Mongols themselves the action was a failure. The Muslims defeated the Mongol rearguard at Ain Jalut and prevented an invasion of Egypt. Later Mongols would convert to Islam and become some of its fiercest warriors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III_of_Poland"&gt;John III Sobieski&lt;/a&gt; was the last of the great Jihad-killers. A valiant Polish King, he fought many wars. He was called "Lion" by the Turks. The Jihad had renewed and it had pushed deep into Europe and come to the very &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna"&gt;gates of Vienna&lt;/a&gt;. He led his Hussars personally and smashed headlong into the enemy ranks, breaking them. The tips of the Polish lances drank of the Turkish blood. The Turkish forces fractured and their troops took to flight, leaving their camp unguarded. The Poles settled down, and drank of the Turkish coffee; probably the best cup of Java ever to touch Western lips. The Ottomans melted away to the east, never to return to Vienna. This was the last Jihad; all others are simple flair ups, desperate half-measures designed to enrich local leaders or fight local wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until our time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the coming of our age something began to roll off the tips of every Imam and dirty Mullah who ever took on the unholy robes: Jihad. The Soviet Union was defeated in Afghanistan and slowly collapsed, not unlike the collapse of Sassanian Persia. Always aware of history, and keen to seize it, the Jihadist next looked to America and Europe as an enemy. The West, lost to frivolity and make-believe, robbed of its culture by the acid of cultural relativism, and envenerated like so many other cultures by luxury, was in no position to respond. The acid of relativism has done its job. It has managed to reduce much of the United States to the level of pre-conceptual babies and our lot to that of toothless barbarians. It now remains to be asked: Where is our hero? Is there yet a man, in this land of multiculutralism, who is yet to pick up the sword against the enemy. Not the sword of truth, for it has been justly and deftly wielded against Islam for long enough, but the cutting sword; the sword which will uproot the tree and cast it into flame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These men must enter or re-enter our log of heroes. We need more of them. But how is a people to understand their need for heroes when heroism and virtue itself is debased? Thats a religous and philosophical matter, to be answered at another time. But we have this task. Our civilization shall not be aborted before its time. If we shake shyly behind our false ideas concering war and do not face up to reality, we will lose. Nothing less than civlizational survival is at stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as a people are nearly ready to take the second step. We are only waiting for that hero to appear on the scene, take up the sword, and lead the way. Then may we all move forward into the bright morning and the name of Allah be like that of Baal- a distant and fleeting shadow of a memory. Then may the glorious Yahudim lay down their arms- and we may see the new day at the break of a dawn, a new vision of Eden; a godly and just peace. Peace for Israel and peace for the Western world will only come through strength. It is high time for us to pluck up the last of our courage, and see to it that the day is won.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, the night may have its way, and the bearer of light shall be blotted out. The choice is ours; but the victory goes only to God. The spoils of the battle are the future. It is a spoil worth taking; lest we take to headlong flight and our only recompense be a river of tears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May all our defenders stand strong; and may our heroes arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice remains, fellow countrymen, as it always has,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Victory or death!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115457713527913460?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115457713527913460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115457713527913460' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115457713527913460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115457713527913460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/08/step-forward.html' title='A Step Forward'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115449075043582026</id><published>2006-08-01T20:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-01T20:52:30.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Allah's Brothel Overflowing........</title><content type='html'>According to Recent Reports, the Israelis have launched a suprise attack in the Beeka Valley.

From &lt;a href="http://westernresistance.com/"&gt;Westernresistance&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The hideout of the Islamist group &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/000957.html"&gt;Abu Sayyaf&lt;/a&gt; has been located, and earlier today it received an attack of sustained bombing, states &lt;a href="http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/MAN226989.htm"&gt;Reuters AlertNet&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/5235142.stm"&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/3521C171-4DB5-4CCC-9DB0-5E56396714DC.htm"&gt;Al Jazeera&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Three days ago, the group kidnapped a mother and son who owned a pawnbroker's shop on the island of Jolo, in the maritime province of Susu, in the extreme southwest of the Philippines. The kidnappers demanded 10 million pesos ($193,723) in exchange for the freedom of Jackylyn and Jeffrey Silbin. No news has been reported since on the fate of the two hostages.&lt;br /&gt;The group has a base on the island of Jolo, where its local leader is the one-armed, horse-riding figure of Radullan Sahiron who has a reputation for decapitating locals whom he views as "collaborators".&lt;br /&gt;Initially the main base of the Abu Sayyaf was on the island of Mindanao, in the Liguasan marsh, an area more normally controlled by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). They were flushed out from there earlier this year.&lt;br /&gt;After the initial bombing of the base, which was carried out by helicopter gunships and ground assault planes hundreds of Philippine troops then clashed with the rebels in their mountainous hideout.&lt;br /&gt;Major-General Gabriel Habacon said to a press conference in Zamboanga City, the commercial hub on the northwest of Mindanao, the largest southern island: "We've been tracking these terrorists for months. The time is now. We've located them and we're going to finish them off."&lt;br /&gt;Habacon said that after the initial assault, soldiers met with rebels fleeing the bombing. 500 soldiers were engaged in the operation. Two military personnel have been injured.&lt;br /&gt;The US has had a presence on the island of Jolo for some time, where it has been training Filipino soldiers in counterterrism maneuvers. It is also suspected that the &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/000304.html"&gt;Jemaah Isamiyah&lt;/a&gt; terrorists Dulmatin and Umar Patek are thought to be hiding. These two have &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/000470.html"&gt;bounties&lt;/a&gt; upon their heads under the US Rewards for Justice scheme, for their involvement in the Bali Bombings of October 2002, which killed 202 people, including 88 Australian tourists.&lt;br /&gt;About 30 Abu Sayyaf members and 15 Jemaah Islamiyah activists, including Dulmatin and Umar Patek are believed to have fled to Jolo after being driven from Mindanao.&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/000890.html"&gt;November 11&lt;/a&gt; last year, Radullan Sahiron's Abu Sayyaf and a band of rebels from the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) attacked a Filipino troop patrol on Jolo, leading to a sustained battle between insurgents and the army. This insurgency came to an end in &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/000890.html"&gt;January&lt;/a&gt; when the MNLF agreed to stop fighting. The deal had been brokered by their imprisoned leader and former governor of Miguandanao, Nur Misauri.&lt;br /&gt;However, there have been signs of a resurgence of activity from both Abu Sayyaf and JI. On &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/001830.html"&gt;March 27&lt;/a&gt; in the town of Jolo on the island, a bomb was set off at a grovery store, killing two and injuring seven. It is thought that Abu Sayyaf and JI were working together.&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/002205.html"&gt;May 4&lt;/a&gt; we reported that four soldiers had been killed in separate attacks over one weekend, in action by Islamists. On &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/002571.html"&gt;July 14&lt;/a&gt; a policeman was killed by an Abu Sayyaf activist on Zamboanga, and on &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/002591.html"&gt;July 18&lt;/a&gt; one police man was killed and three others were injured when Abu Sayyaf men, dressed as Filipono soldiers, ambushed them near the town of Maimbung on Jolo. A week previously a soldier had been killed by an Islamist attack at the village of Alat near Jolo town. The July 18 attack was led by Albader Parad of Abu Sayyaf.&lt;br /&gt;Other soldiers have been killed this month on Jolo. One was heading home on a motorcycle when shot in the village of Kasalamatan, and two soldiers were ambushed in the village of Pakitul.&lt;br /&gt;The group Abu Sayyaf has been responsible for numerous kidnappings and decapitations of hostages, including a particularly brutal event which took place at Dos Palmas on Palawan Island in May 2001, when 21 people, mostly Chinese Filipino tourists but with three Americans, were kidnapped.&lt;br /&gt;Most of the Chinese Filipinos were decapitated, as was US citizen &lt;a href="http://www.westernresistance.com/blog/archives/001788.html"&gt;Guillermo Sobrero&lt;/a&gt;. Two missionaries from Wichita Kansas were held hostage. A rescue attempt by the army went badly wrong. Martin Burnham was killed, and his wife Gracia was injured, but survived. Radullan Sahiron was involved in that kidnapping.&lt;br /&gt;Though the Abu Sayyaf group is renowned for its kidnappings, decapitations and banditry, it also committed the Philippine's worst terrorist attack (pictured), an attack upon a ferry on &lt;a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2004/10/12/2003206567"&gt;February 27, 2004&lt;/a&gt;. A bomb was set off on the boat, which was traveling between Manila and Bacolod, while it was in the Bay of Manila. The ferry was carrying 900 people. A fire, caused by the bomb spread through the ship and 116 people died."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The eradication of Abu Sayaff would be a major step in the right direction. Today has been a good day. There is good news. But you probably wont hear it from the MSM or the goose-steppers. No, instead you must troll those evil unreliable blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are the American operations? Is our current strategy in Iraq simply to use our soldiers as bullet stoppers betwen the coming Sunni-Shiite war? Or are we saving our best for Iran?

The Jews, the people whose grandfathers were stuffed in to ovens like deadwood are fighting back. Their soldiers are fighting toughly. This should be the time for the Republicans to manuver to crush the pacifist-communist bloc. But instead, they blunder. Republican strategists decided it was time for Iran's.........I mean Iraq's, PM to come to the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good work boys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rice makes another trip to the Mideast. She will no doubt demand that Israel jog towards the gas-chamber rather than mop towards it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zawahiri calls a jihad. Keep an eye on that.

They truly want peace. Over and over again their faces ask, "Why us?" they are truly confused. One man, a bit confused about this conflict and others said, "They do not want land.......they just want to kill us." While he may think that the Palestinians do not want Israel eradicatted, he is wrong. But he is right on the other count. Hizbullah, or the Party of Allah(a phrase used by Muhammad to denote his followers) wants Israel gone. This means most or all of Jewery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Israeli woman on FoxNews asked, with all sincerity, "What type of religion tells you to kill?....What did we do to deserve this?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I am disappointed in the Israelis. I figured they would know this by now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Islamic religion abounds with orders to kill. The only thing which will appease the bloodthirsty gang called Islam would be if every Jew on the earth were to stop breathing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seconds later on Fox, some federal offical, a State department bacteria appeared and told us about a new exchange student program to "train the new leadership of Iraq". Well! I see. We need more Arab-Muslims in the United States. Makes sense. They are not known to be violent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next we have people still calling for Lebanon to "take authority" over the south. Never mind Hizbullah was elected. Never mind they are a part of the Lebanese government. Never mind the Lebanese have promised to take sides with them. And Rice of course had to make another trip. There are enough &lt;a href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2006/07/word-from-mr-hyde.html#links"&gt;rumors&lt;/a&gt; coming out concerning a proposed limited timetable to clean up Hizbullah for me to beleive them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hizbullah is the terror amr of Iran. Hizbullah has offices in our hemisphere and is one of the only groups besides AQ to &lt;a href="http://winnipeg.indymedia.org/item.php?3263S"&gt;attack here&lt;/a&gt;. If Iran was to get nukes they would probably be the first to be deployed with them. If Hizbullah was degraded, then its ability to react against a limited American bombing of the Iranian nuke program would be lessened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, our good buddies in Iraq are about to demand that we withdraw. They are of course lambasting Israel. How long before the Iraqi army we are training drops all pretense and declares war on the Jews?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the real problem in this is Iran, which we seem determined to do nothing about. Only when the Iranian nuclear program is devestated and her cities subjected to a merciless bombardment will all of this come to an end. But it won't. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is a man to do? The first impluse is to defend one's civilization in the fashion men everywhere know: to take up the sword. But alas, in the nation gone mad.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://www.navyreserve.com/opportunities/officer/intelligence.jsp"&gt;Naval Reserve &lt;/a&gt;website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;From the Global Fight Against Violent Extremism to countering emerging regional threats, Intelligence Officers in the Navy Reserve serve at the forefront of national security.

But in this I will not appeal to the ancient history, as I have done before. Instead I will bring froth favts from event not that far removed from out time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone agrees, whether they be rabid collectivist communists or hardboiled conservatives, that the Nazis were evil. They agree that the death cmaps, the whole-sale eradication of Jews amd the limitless slaughter of World War Two were evil. It has even entered into theology/phiosophy as a great example of the "Problem of Evil".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every five seconds you hear about the oppressed Palestinians and the fascist Israelis. You hear about the poor downtrodden brown Arab who knowns nothing of the evil white man's ways. But how true are these claims? When fascism threatened the world and civilization nearly went down, which side did our great Moslem brothers take?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been said before that the policy of Muhammad toward the Jews of Arabia was not that different from Hitler's. On this I concur. That is an exposition for another time. But suffice it say that the Mulism shed Jewish blood long before a Jew ever shed any Moslem blood. Hizbullah, the tool of the Iranaian Islamist dictatorship is curently being pushed back. It is said that Mr. Bush, who some commentators claim to be a veritable man of steel, if giving Israel a week to clear out the Hizbullah infestation. Mind you the infestation has reched the &lt;a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/9155/"&gt;Lebanese Parliment&lt;/a&gt;, but let us not trobule the great brave president with such facts. Good old democracy at work. Why not try in in Syria! Why not Iran! Why Im sure the enlightened and resonable peoples of the Middle East will choose wisely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran sided with the Nazis during the Second World War. It controls Hizbullah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;al Haj &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husayni"&gt;Amin Al Husseini&lt;/a&gt; was a famous Palestinian. After organizing an &lt;a href="http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_riots_1920-21.php"&gt;attack on praying Jews&lt;/a&gt;, he was expelled from Palestine, traveled out of Palestine and fled to Berlin. There he worked as a propagandist calling for the killing of Jews. A Muslim division, the &lt;a href="http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/bosnia.html"&gt;Handschar&lt;/a&gt;, was raised in the Balkans. This division was well known for its cruelty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War was declared against Israel before it was even born. Muhammad himself warred against the Jews.  As for proportionality, Israel is acting in restraint. If Israel were to act in proportion to this threat, it would nuke Iran, overthrow Lebanon and deport all the Moslems, deport/kill the so-called Palestinians; arm groups within Syria, Iran, and other Islamic nations to launch terrorist attacks, and preach a Judeo-Christian Holy War first to their own people and then to the world. But Israel is a restrained and civilized nation. Such tactics wouldn't occur to it. Listening to the media you'd figure the Israelis are some type of brutal SS squad. The truth, as usual, is the exact inverse of what our pulpits preach. If the South Lebanese were worried about peace they would not have voted for Hizbullah. Their deaths are simply a consequence of their decision.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115334819462720313?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115334819462720313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115334819462720313' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115334819462720313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115334819462720313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/07/islam-in-world-war-two.html' title='Islam in World War Two'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115307135288497192</id><published>2006-07-16T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-21T10:34:15.053-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jihad in Perspective</title><content type='html'>So Israel finally looks like it is going to do what it takes to survive. I am actually not perturbed by the news pouring out of the armpit of the world; I am relieved. The Middle East "peace" process is a sad joke, whereby we dhimmified western nations run over to half-dhimmified Israel and demand that they give up more land in exchage for a reprieve of exectution by their Jihadist enemy. The Arab-Muslim maniacs simple give the "zionist entity" yet antoher decade or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the one thing which must happen for there to be peace in the middle east?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Islam has to disappear&lt;/em&gt;. Prior to Muhammad's birth and forged prophecy Arabs and Jews got along and lived together. They even built a city together: Yathrib, now known as Medina. Arabs and Christians also got along. Only Islam changed the free and peaceful Arabs into very effective killing machines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing to see the talking heads speaking about how we should send over another envoy to try to get some kind of agreement between the two sides. Any such agreement between Muslims and non-Muslims is null and void before the first bit of ink dries upon the paper. No such agreement should ever be forwarded by the United States to Israel, or encouraged. Israel is the bulwark. When the histories are written of this war against Jihad, the fact will remain that Israel delayed further Jihad. Israel has delayed a more violent conquest of Europe. But if it goes; so does the west.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is not stretched thin. This is a fallacy. So do not buy the garbage that we cannot do anything to support Israel. We still have many army divisions not yet deployed. Of course the talking heads, who known nothing, would tell you otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both sides of the political aisle, as usual, seem ready and willing to committ treason. As such, I believe it is time to enforce our laws on treason. Maybe then we would get better leadership. But for the beneift of the talking heads and similar minded dolts, i will outline the history of the Jihad yet again and offer our prospects for the future. In the future I will provide a map outlining these facts. But for now a simple description will suffice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad began his Koran in the small town of Mecca. He gained all of 50 followers. Chased from his sandlot, the bully gained ascendancy by killing his kith and kin and stealing their goods. He dies ruler of all of Arabia. In the War of Apostasty the Arabs try to break away from Islam. Some people take to mocking Muhammad. Others turn to their old polytheism(which was morally superior to Islam). Still others claim to be prophets. Abu Bakr smashes these Arabs. Shortly thereafter the Christian lands of Judea, Syria and Iraq are invaded. The Christians are subjugated The battle of al-Qadisiyya ends the Persian Sassanian Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire is reduced to Anatolia and Greece. The entire coast of Africa is conquered. The Sindh in India is invaded by Muhammad bin Qasim. Cities are sacked without mercy. Byzantium is beseiged. Leo the Isaurian repulses them. Spain is invaded and conquered. The Visigothic King Roderic is killed. Not done yet, the Moslems invade the Chinese dominon in Central asia and defeat them at Talas. Muslims are repulsed at Tours. Sardina and Sicily are taken by the Muslims. Pirate Muslims even sail up the Tiber and sack Rome. St. Peter's Bascillica is looted. Southern Italy is occupied. Finally the world awakens to Islam. Byzantium launches a coutnerattack. The Norman knights retake Sicily. The Reconquista begins to retake Spain.&lt;br /&gt;But these measures, and the Crusades, were merely pinpricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Byzantium is conquered after many centuries of resistance, her last Emperor dying in glorious battle against the Turks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the history of Islam. This is the history of millions slain for a beast of a man, for a beast of an ideal, for a false prophet; for a lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the story is not over. For those who do not know, for those without ears to hear and eyes to see; the Jihad has begun yet again. But this time its weapons are not expert cavalry and the scimitar. This time its weapons are the birth canal, political correctness, and cowing the west with meanlingless words like Imperialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europe is slowly becoming Muslim. Russia too. The landscape will shift in the next century. The Muslims will overrun Europe. They will have access to her arms. They will turn them against other nations. India is bound to become Muslim as the Muslims ignore the abortion regulations and breed out the Hindus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And tiny little Israel is faulted for a few bombings? So what if a few savages go the way of the earth. The honest truth is this: the time has come for total war. The time has well nigh come for all-out war against the Umma. Many are calling for it. Reason, justice, and the preservance of our great nation and civilization dmeand it. No other course is possible. We must not only aim to defang the Umma; but we must wage war for the eradication of it as a signifcant force in world affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democratiztion is now clearly impossible and undesirable. Those who cautioned us against such a strategy were correct, and my mind has been turning me in that direction already. Democracy for the Arab-Muslim means Hizbullah in southern Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Moslem brotherhood in Egypt. God knows what else it could bring. It was a nice experiment. Two-thousand men died in Iraq so it could be disproved. Enough of police actions. Enough of this limited-war gibberish.&lt;br /&gt;***************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is lucky in all of this. We are far removed from our enemy. He may have nuclear weapons. He can surely get them. He has been shown to know how to use chemical munitions. So those threats, capable of killing hundreds of thousands if not millions, is enough to keep the country worried for many years. But more direct threats loom on the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quebec elected a Muslim member of its provincial parliament. Islam is the fastest growing religion in Canada. In case you don't remeber, we share a border with Canada. And Islam has never known a peaceful border. Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the south it is no better. Islam has a presence in South America. Hugo Chavez is in a lovefest with Iran. Hizbullah is known to have a&lt;a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/2006-07-13-voa71.cfm"&gt;  presence&lt;/a&gt;. The Maya are &lt;a href="http://www.islamicaweb.com/archive/read/t-5273.html"&gt;converting&lt;/a&gt; to Islam in large numbers. Given enough numbers the current insurrection against Mexico could turn into the first full-scale Jihad in our Hemisphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what of America herself? Large pockets of Muslims exist in Michigan and Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia is the most disturbing, considering its proximity to the Capital. Every day we can hear of some moron converting to Islam for this or that reason. I blame the contemporary Christianity, and Christian leaders. What was once a great faith has become a laughing stock. It has been reduced and false teachers are more numerous than the sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jihad contiues. Its going to get worse before it gets better. Much worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"What will be will be. Where it ends we know not". &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Genghis Khan, in his letter to the Kwarazmian-Shah declaring war&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this much is clear: the Umma must be held responsible for its madness. Otherwise we all go down the path of Submission. Such a world is simply not worth living in. Maybe the Israelis have finally figured this out. The West should back them and think about following suit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115307135288497192?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115307135288497192/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115307135288497192' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115307135288497192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115307135288497192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/07/jihad-in-perspective.html' title='Jihad in Perspective'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115261586557575719</id><published>2006-07-11T03:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-15T05:46:56.790-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Islamic Tolerance In Somalia</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;In Mogadishu, a group of twenty armed CCIC men invaded a wedding celebration and seized musical instruments. Islamic conservatives believe musical instruments are the tools of the devil. Most Somalis don't agree with this. Somalis are also incensed at a video, showing foreigners fighting alongside CCIC gunmen, that is being passed around. The CCIC insists they are a homegrown force, but many Somalis see the CCIC as the puppet of wealthy foreign Islamic conservatives. .........&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;July 6, 2006: CCIC said that those who did not observe Islamic prayer rules (five times a day), would face the death penalty. Demonstrating their fairness, the CCIC arrested two of their own gunmen, who had killed two people in a crowd protesting the shutting down of a cinema that was showing satellite broadcasts of World Cup games. The two arrested men will be tried under Islamic law....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/somalia/articles/20060708.aspx"&gt;http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/somalia/articles/20060708.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam: The gift that just keeps on giving.

What is this thing called America? Does anyone know anymore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberty is a foreign ideal to most people. Liberty as we might think of it was only known by a choice few ancient societies: Greece, Germany, early Rome and Carthage. Greeks would rather die than suffer undere Persian tyranny. Germans would rather fight for centuries against Rome than submit. Carthage fought until Hannibal was betrayed, slain, and her city put to the sword. The last true Romans fought Caesar, but they in turn were slain. Liberty in the West died with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberty was nor to burn brightly again until the Declaration of Independence. America would enforce this ideal when pushed too far; the monarch, totalitarians and collectivists would feel thew dust of the earth as the armies of liberty surged forth and put to death their tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must never forget that behind us there is a great history. America was borne of the greatest group of men ever to grace the earth. Her frontier were won by savage but free men, not unlike those mighty germans who surged across the Rhine and dealth the slavish Romans a death blown. We must remmeber our histroy and never let it fall into the wrong hands. Civilization, as Will Durant once said, is a percious good. It must be safeguarded from all who may destroy it. Men sacrifced all they had for the ideal of freedom. They gave many of their lives. Would we measure up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot help but ask myself: Will my future children be able to celebrate this holiday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our nation has produced the great inventions which every people now take for granted. We are the apex of Western Civilization. We enacted her highest ideals and discarded its injustices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I once met an African student on the way to class. I do not recall the conversation other than the question I posed to him:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do you think of America?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He smiled a bit, and then said, "Paradise on earth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I concur exactly. Let us keep it that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy fourth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115204276641027266?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115204276641027266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115204276641027266' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115204276641027266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115204276641027266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/07/fourth.html' title='The Fourth'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115195874686401015</id><published>2006-07-03T13:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T09:16:45.256-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Clarification of the Islamic Threat</title><content type='html'>Why is Islam fighting the world, including its own more peaceful sects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ultimate goal of the fundementalist Muslim is an Islamic state from Indonesia to Spain. This only matters due to this areas oil supply and its command of vital sea lanes. On top of this, Muslims are in a position, via "peaceful jihad" of &lt;a href="http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110007760"&gt;births&lt;/a&gt;, to overtake &lt;a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1796"&gt;England, Italy, Spain, portions of Russia, France and Germany&lt;/a&gt;. Iran is poised to gain nuclear weapons. Pakistan has them, and is likely to fall to fundementalism. India's ages old Hindu culture is being de-emphasied. Small bands of men will soon have nuclear weapons, and no one in the West has the guts to stop them. Thus the West does not have time for moral platitudes and equivocations regarding its mortal enemy. It does not have time to preach to the savage the glories of civilization. The West has about fifty years by most estimates, and after this it will be submerged and superseded. The West either destroys Islam or is destroyed by it. Islam leaves us no other alternative. Wars of religion are a zero-sum game. Islam is first and foremost an ideal enforced by the sword. Only when this sword is parried and broken by a heavier sword will its dogmas decline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Islam delend est.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calling for the destruction of Islam does not mean that every Muslim has to die; only that we must be willing to make it so. When total warfare was waged against Germany is was not neccessary to kill all Germans, just 10 million of them. One cannot reasonably expect Muslims to fight to the last. But the must be faced with a very real choice: cease the jihad as one or die as. They have given us no other choice.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many in the west the Crusades are ancient history. They have been forgotten. But among the bards of Damascus the tales of Saladin still ring out. No matter how much we in the West condemn the Crusaders the Islamic world will never forget and never forgive. We gain nothing by spitting upon the deeds of our forefathers. Secular humanism has made the grave error of lumping together every religion. It has thus lost the power of discernment. Its cutting sword has grown so used to cutting into the Christian faith that it has come to see Christianity as the greatest evil on earth. It seeks to destroy Christianity and to this end it gives Islam a "get out of criticism free" card. When criticism of Islam is offered to the secularist, he avoids the question by pulling out the book of Joshua and thus equating the Jihad which threatens us all to the long over conquest of Canaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basic facts can dispel any comparison between Christians and Moslems, or the Koran and Bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, Moslems do not worship "God". They worship Allah, "the God" in Arabic. The God of the Bible(Yahweh, or "I am that I am") is not the same god of the Koran. The notion of the Triune Godhead is regarded as heretical by Muslims. Allah is a tribal deity whoses tribe has managed to carve a portion of the world out for itself. The teachings of Christ have provided a balance to the violence present in the Old Testament. Nothing of the kind exists in Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, there is a basic Islamic view of the world. The world is in two camps according to Islam: the House of Islam and the House of War. The meaning is clear. Christianity has no concept of the world like this. While violent portions of the Bible certainly exist, theology of Christianity since St. Augustine has tended to move in the opposite direction. Islam will not allow peace. Ever. Islam has bloody borders. There does not exist a nation on earth which borders and Islamic nation that is not under assault. From China to Spain the tale is the same: Jihad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, Muhammad is seen as the model of a man by Muslims. Christians believe the same about Jesus. Unfortunately for mankind, Muhammad was no Jesus, no Buddha, no Asoka. In order to draw an accurate comparison, Muhammad is more like Joshua, Moses, Isaiah and Christ all rolled together. He is considered by Muslims as an example to follow, an example set by the Hadith and backed up by biographical works. If Muhammad was the model of the perfect man then we should all marry six year olds, rape captive women, kill unarmed merchants, engage in terroristic warfare, plunder, kill our families if challenged, take multiple wives, take slaves and kill all Jews. If you think this is unfair, or that Islam is really not that bad, take the time to read the faithfreedom.org Sirat Rasoul Allah which I have linked to in this piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These beliefs come ogether in a witches brew and have prdocued the most effective killing machine of conquest man has ever known: Islam. The list of Jihads, past and present, show us that Islam has lashed into virtually every nation. No people or belief system is free of its destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But something in the West is changing, or at least in America. Decades of the Cultural Marxism have not completely succeeded in destroying our faculty of reason. Many, after the 9-11 attacks, this author included, sought the truth from facts. We all went out and read the bestsellers which now line bookshelves. We turned to pundits. But they gave us only a bit of the truth, followed by inane platidues devoid of sense. Next we turned to scholars and finally to the Islamic texts themselves. What we found in them was terrible. Islam embodies every evil we were told was true of all religions. With Islam exposed one has to look for new solutions. It was in answer to this question that the sources are silent. They offer nothing new, no new ideals, no new spirit, but platitudes of a different sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only question worth asking is: What is to be done?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can we democratize a society whose worldview is diameterically opposed to democractic principles?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can we sit by and do nothing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can we simply go after individual actors?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or can we wage total war, the kind of war which defeated the fascists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” -Barry Goldwater&lt;br /&gt;*******************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Muslims still deploy the "Islam is a peaceful religion" lie.&lt;br /&gt;Am I attacking Islam from the outside? Take Muhammad's word for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Koran:&lt;br /&gt;(Text via "Prophet of Doom" Koran, which has five major translations to work from)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" &lt;a href="http://http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;i=472022"&gt;[Quran 22:39]* &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[&lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;i=472004"&gt;Quran 4:76]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers') hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." [&lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;amp;i=472009"&gt;Quran9:13-1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers" [&lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;i=472003"&gt;Quran 3:139&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;amp;i=472008"&gt;008.039&lt;/a&gt; “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world). But if they cease, Allah is Seer of what they do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They are surely Infidels who say Christ, the Messiah&lt;br /&gt;is God.” &lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/surah.aspx?g=4702&amp;amp;i=472005"&gt;(5:72)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;What would Muhammad do? Context will be important to establish what the next verses say. Muhammad fled his native Mecca for Yathrib, a city built and fed by the Jewish tribes of Arabia. He promptly began to raid the caravans of Mecca. He was the aggressor. Finally the Meccans had enough. Amr ibn Hisham, a noble Meccan, led out the warriors of the city to fight Muhammad. His name was later changed to "Abu Jahl" or Son of Ignorance. This will make what happens next much worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Sira :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sira/13.htm"&gt;Ishaq:304&lt;/a&gt; “Abd Allah bin Mas’ud said, ‘I found Abu Jahl in the throws of death. I put my foot on his neck because he had grabbed me once at Mecca and had hurt me. Then I said, Has Allah disgraced you and put you to shame, O enemy of Allah?’ ‘In what way has he disgraced me?’ he asked. ‘Am I anything more important than a man whom you have killed? Tell me, to whom is the victory?’ I said,&lt;br /&gt;‘To Allah and his Messenger.’”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the Meccan merchants said: Ishaq:342 “I wonder at foolish men like these who sing frivolously and vainly of the slain at Badr. This was nothing more than an impious and odious crime. Men fought against their brothers, fathers, and sons. Any with discernment and understanding recognize the wrong that was done here.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ishaq:308 “When the Apostle was in Safra, Nadr was assassinated. When Muhammad reached Irq al-Zabyah he killed Uqbah. When the Holy Prophet ordered him to be killed, Uqbah said, ‘Who will look after my children, Muhammad?’ “Hellfire,’ the Apostle replied, and he was killed.”&lt;br /&gt;Text courtesy of &lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net"&gt;Prophet of Doom&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Islam is a "religion of peace" then I guess the following never happened:&lt;br /&gt;-The Library of Alexandria must not have been burned by Arabs, who, like the rioters in Afghanistan, believed in the self-sufficiency of the Koran.&lt;br /&gt;-Kabul must still be a Hindu city&lt;br /&gt;-Byzantium must still be alive and well&lt;br /&gt;-Persia must still be the great civilization it once was, with Zoroastrians in bounty&lt;br /&gt;-Hindustan must never have been invaded. Muhammad bin Qasim never invaded the Sindh. Debal, Mathura and Dehli must never have burned.&lt;br /&gt;-Thus, Pakistan will have to give up its national hero, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmud_of_Ghazni"&gt;Mahmud of Ghazni&lt;/a&gt;, and erase &lt;a href="http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/modern/moghal_atro.html"&gt;his deeds &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Yathrib must still be Yathrib, a Jewish city, not "Medina". So all the maps have to be changed thus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishful thinking has killed millions before. Today the monolithic opinion of American media, government and academia is exactly what many have voiced: That Islam is a religion "hijacked" by Wahabis or Al-Qadea, or at worst, maybe five-percent of Moslems who are "extreme".&lt;br /&gt;Wahabis were not in the early Arab armies. They did not scale Jib-al-Tariq. Al-Qaeda did not fight at the &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/somasushma/talas.html"&gt;Battle of Talas &lt;/a&gt;and smash the Chinese. It was not "extremists" who stormed Constantinople.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Muslims, doing exactly what the Koran told them to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many believed Germany had no ambition, only to return to it's glory, or build an Empire like the British. Many people excused or apologized for the Germans. In today's world they would say German Nationalism was hijacked by the Nazis. Is Islam Nazism? For the Moslems following their faith it is damn close. Hitler is back, alive and well, but this time has a religion to call his own and believers in a claimant prophet to follow him into hell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115195874686401015?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115195874686401015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115195874686401015' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115195874686401015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115195874686401015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/07/clarification-of-islamic-threat.html' title='A Clarification of the Islamic Threat'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115159259202199915</id><published>2006-06-29T07:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-03T08:24:30.320-07:00</updated><title type='text'>From Sahih Bukhari- Chilling</title><content type='html'>'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115159259202199915?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115159259202199915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115159259202199915' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115159259202199915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115159259202199915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/from-sahih-bukhari-chilling.html' title='From Sahih Bukhari- Chilling'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115157736140656627</id><published>2006-06-29T03:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-01-08T12:00:16.490-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Polemic Against Atheism</title><content type='html'>A polemic, for those who have forgotten its meaning, is an attack. In this I will set forward none of my views, but instead impugn those of others. A common tactic used by many to attack religion, will now be turned to attack the attackers.&lt;br /&gt;A man can never be reasoned out of any position which he never reasoned himself into. Thus is the root of all evil in today’s America: the doctrines of unreason yet made more insidious by masquerading as reason. At the head of these forces is the force of Atheism. This is not meant to soothe the hearts of disbelief, or to call someone to faith. I will not mince word with those who would advance the putrid banner of nihilism under the cover of a cannonade of so-called reason. Atheism as a metaphysic comes to us in a variety of forms: Music, T.V, so called “American Culture”. Atheism, first and foremost, is a religion. All forms of extremist atheism, whether they are Objectivism, Marxism, or any other ism, make metaphysical claims. These claims are never challenged nor questioned. Atheism as a religion has Ten Commandments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are:&lt;br /&gt;1) Man consists of nothing more than atoms, hence he has no essence&lt;br /&gt;2) Man should therefore seek Paradise on Earth&lt;br /&gt;3) Reality must be what we see in front of us&lt;br /&gt;4) Religious faith is bad; but faith in fellow man good&lt;br /&gt;5) We must be the judge of whether God is righteous or not&lt;br /&gt;6) Eschatology in religion bad; eschatology in science good&lt;br /&gt;7) Ethical judgments cannot be made; all is relative&lt;br /&gt;8) The Universe is an accident&lt;br /&gt;9) Evolution can never be questioned. Prophet Darwin is unassailable&lt;br /&gt;10) Faith is a stupidity, and faith must be taken as “belief in something you cannot see.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they not patently absurd?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It now possible to move about in United States and hear nothing of God and nothing of his message, and therefore the forthcoming generation is cursed with ignorance. Atheism has become a dominant ideal inside the “academy”. Plato is surely rolling over in his grave. The other practices, such as “Spiritualism”, or Buddhism, smack of a true disbelief, and these offer no real substitute to Western Judeo-Christianity, and represent another facet of the Anti-Theism Crusade. These belief systems gain ascendancy in the West due to a desire to rebel, nothing more. People no longer search for merit in a religion, but are simply and pathetically clawing for something different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atheism is at the root of all these ideas, an unreasoned and endemic disease only cured by reason. On the side of a belief in a creator are men of reason: Locke, Leibniz, Newton, Einstein, Pascal, Descartes, Galileo, Plato, and every man, nearly ever man who has brought the light of knowledge to bear against the dark cloak of ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;            Francis Bacon defined the cause of Atheism in “One Atheism”:&lt;br /&gt;           &lt;br /&gt;            “Lastly, this I dare affirm in knowledge of nature, that a little natural philosophy, and the first entrance into it, doth dispose the opinion to atheism. But on the other side, much natural philosophy, and wading deep into it, will bring men’s minds to religion.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side, resting in Atheism, lie the works of Nietzsche, Sartre and others. Let us simply ask ourselves, which group of men has produced more? What cultures, movements, sciences, and other great things has atheism produced? Other than Communism and millions of deaths, quite a bit of nothing. Absolutely nothing that can be in its totality declared a positive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus is proven true Christ’s expression, “By your fruits you shall know them.” This was spoken by Jesus Christ, the first pragmatist, who knew that ideas have consequences. If capitalism, democracy, law and much of European history are the fruits of Christianity and Theism then what are the fruits of Atheism. Is it rotten? Is this fruit of Atheism putrid to the nose and bitter to the tongue? Then let us take an axe to this tree! Today we must consign it to the flames!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115157736140656627?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115157736140656627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115157736140656627' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115157736140656627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115157736140656627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/polemic-against-atheism.html' title='A Polemic Against Atheism'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115127723011955354</id><published>2006-06-25T15:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-25T20:35:17.463-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ARABS BEFORE ISLAM</title><content type='html'>If I call for the destruction or end of islam in our world it will undoubtably lead to people saying that I am a racist, or a bigot. This charge is thrown against anyone who does not unthinkingly and sheepishly follow the blind facade of multiculturalism. I practice discernment when looking at a culture. All are not equal. To equate the greatness of ancient India with the wandering Bantus is to debase the achievements of the Indian culture. Arab culture is something to be respected. Islamic culture is not. The Arabs themselves must learn that distinction. I do not hate the Muslim; but I hate Islam. I do hate hate the sinner; but despise utterly the sin.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam poisoned Arabs first. The most verdant civilization ever to rise out of the deserts of that reigion were those oy &lt;a href="http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra"&gt;Palmyra&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra"&gt;Petra&lt;/a&gt;. These cites are great wonders. The Quraysh, Muhammad's tribe, were budding capitalists. The tribal structure of Arabia lent itself to a society without government. Men were free. Great men of the enlightenment chased after this ideal. It was the pre-Islamic Arabs who had it. Enter Muhammad. I cannot repeat the tale enough. This one man, this one sick sick man, came with his dogma- and all of this great freedom ended. I encourage all who read this- go forth and find out what you can about this so-called time of ignorance. The Arabs have much to proud of. But none of it has come after Islam. Petra was not carved out of rock for the sake of Allah.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115127723011955354?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115127723011955354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115127723011955354' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115127723011955354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115127723011955354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/arabs-before-islam.html' title='ARABS BEFORE ISLAM'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115120276677912731</id><published>2006-06-24T19:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T03:42:39.336-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Win the War</title><content type='html'>The "War on Terror" cannot be fought as it now is. The idea of the Long War is correct . America will have to learn patience to win a victory in Iraq. The insurgents must be crushed. They must be hunted like the rats they are. We must fight them until they are all lain slain upon the feilds of Al-Anbar. It will also have to unlearn some of the horrible tendencies which have crept into its military: the tendency to fight every war like politicans run elections; always looking at the opinion polls. We must look to history for answers. The study of history has no other point. We must work to stop the next attack. We have to build our military for the coming wars with Iran. More troops need to fill its ranks. The politicians have to show the guts of times past and come to a decision whether wee are ready or not for five more years of open warfare followed by twenty or so of covert war.  Washington should be spending far less. For Osamas objective is stated as the collapse of our economy. He has stated that he can wear us down and we will go bankrupt. This appears to be occuring. The CIA must also be reconstituted. A covert action arm, which has already come under the Pentagon and SOCOM, must recieve all that t needs. It must be loosed upon the enemy. It must be sent to the eighty or so nations where al-Qadea has presence. Overall, we must win this war as swiftly as possible. While a ten-year war sounds long, it could be even longer. The objective, to break the enemy's center of gravity in the nations stretching from Syria to Pakistan must be achieved. After this, we will hunt their scattered bands. But the latter cannot come before the former as the enemy will be flush with recruits. To attack a foe such as this, which is more like a fire than an Army, we need new fronts. To stay static in Iraq and expect some magical victory for us and the West is insanity.  The war must spread..........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115120276677912731?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115120276677912731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115120276677912731' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115120276677912731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115120276677912731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-win-war.html' title='How to Win the War'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115119079889411979</id><published>2006-06-24T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-05T00:12:07.693-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Notes on Warfare</title><content type='html'>IF there exists one civilization which declares war for all time against all others, then this civilization must be eradicated.

So survival dictates that this civilization must be destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam has declared war against all mankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trapped by empty terms such as genocide we cannot do what needs to be done. I will dispense with all pretense and go straight to the matter. If we wage war against only the able-bodied men of a nation, then the wives and children survive. If we slay the men, then the wives will raise the sons and tell them -"the evil Yankees came and killed your father. You must go and take revenge". And so on. So the war never stops. Worse yet if we only kill some of the men, as we are now. Then there is no incentive to stop sucide bombings, beheadings, and general terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The genocidal maniacs of the world must be met with genocide, lest they carry out their mad will.

Books were printed for general use in political economy, philosophy, religion, warfare, painting, music and other arts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the other hand, Polo writes that many Chinese "always carry poison about them" to swallow if they are arrested, because no human being can expect Chinese torture without trying to commit suicide. "But the rulers, who are aware of this practice, are always provided with the dung of dogs, which they oblige the accused to swallow, causing a vomiting of the poison." ("The Travels of Marco Polo," p. 197). Incidentally, torture is practiced in China today.&lt;br /&gt;The above may suffice to show the fundamental difference between the history of China and that of Christendom. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oddly enough, over seven centuries later, not a word is said in my "Britannica" about Chinese torture. Yet the 13th-century Chinese knew about it enough to poison themselves to avoid it. "But their rulers, who are aware of this practice, are always provided with the dung of dogs, which they oblige the accused to swallow, causing a vomiting of the poison," Polo concludes.&lt;br /&gt; Indeed, pao luo, used in China today, was used over 3,000 years ago. This is a torture wherein a victim is to walk along a slippery metal beam resting on burning coals. The victim "grills" his or her feet by the metal beam or slips and burns them to cinders in the burning coals. Ling chi was abolished in 1907, but is revived in China today: The victim is put to death by cutting out bits of his or her body for several days.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115118481247016775?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115118481247016775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115118481247016775' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115118481247016775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115118481247016775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/real-torture.html' title='Real Torture'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115103290983995484</id><published>2006-06-22T20:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T16:51:27.623-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Debate on Iraq Settled.......</title><content type='html'>Let all these politicians emptily huff and puff and grumble of this and that.

I will now turn to a greater man to speak on the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A godly man. A brave man, a man with a deeply mystical view of life. A man whose sense of destiny pervaded his life. A man whom Yahweh chooses to bless man with only ever so often- a great man of his generation, and a great man for all times:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Pacifists would do well to study the Seigfreid and Maginot Lines, remembering that these defenses were forced; that Troy fell; that the walls of Hadrian succumbed; that the Great Wall of China was futile; and that, by the same token, the mighty seas which are alleged to defend us can also be circumvented by a resoluted and ingenious opponent. In war, the only sure defense is offense, and the efficency of offense depends upon the warlike souls of those conducting it."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General George S.

I will shortly lay out the philosophical and strategic principles of total warfare. This is simply an introductory to the subject. If only the generals read my blog........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are truly anti-war; the soldiers, sailors and airmen, and the otherwise brave persons, the position advertised by the luckless leftist must appear utterly comedic. These service members like most soldiers of all times past hate war. This much we can know, because no man, once placed in battle, unless he be insane, grows to love combat. Because man is much more than a mere beast, killing is a terrible thing and instinctively abhorrent to his psyche. Most veterans despise war, and returns with a mountain of sorrow. If nor this, then their lives are least heavily disrupted, and they will never be the same. But most realize, with an incisive sense that only those who have been to battle, that their war is necessary. Any war, pick any war and they will find it worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;Yet they com home from the front only to see a clueless horde of Americans, no doubt drugged out and slightly disturbed, thinking they can merely wish the scourge of war away. Those with brains know one thing: human nature is such that man will always seek domination over others. Who has the better account? Those proposing a unilateral U.S. policy of “peace” or those who fight wars and support wars? Those who espouse peace but serve only the perpetuate war are the pathetic protestors. These are largely Marxist organisms, which fill Europeans streets. Occasionally the novelty of their appearance appears on American street. They largely fester on college campuses. Otherwise the Marxian Bascillus is largely marginal.&lt;br /&gt;We must look to those with a better account for out war strategy. We must look to the veterans. What would they favor? More guerilla wars? Another useless Geneva Convention, a scrap of paper whose best us to our soldiers would consist in its value as a bathroom tissue? More United Nations decrees, directed at the soft west? More “liberation”? Less conquest?&lt;br /&gt;If only such a thing as liberation could change the minds of those stolen away by Islam, then the world would be a better place. But I fear, and reasonably so, that years after our entry into Moslem lands, to “liberate them”, we have only delayed the inevitable terrible war.&lt;br /&gt;Now the Muslim lands are weaker than the rest of the world. Now Iran has limited capability. Now terrorist groups are only small bands. Now very few Moslem states possess armies. Now they do not possess the ultimate weapon. But this is now. The Moslem world is the process of reverting to pure Islam, the most violent doctrine the planet has yet spawned. All the weakness and disunity of the Moslem will be turned around. Thus, many military officers know that our current policy is utterly impossible, as do many who can see reality as it is. Our culture, if such a thing actually existed anymore, has no more pull. We are a divided society whose values are everyday under threat from those inside our nation. So how can a thing such as democracy be exported to the lands of Islam?&lt;br /&gt;Few intellectuals today would dare answer the question. For those on the Left it is simply inconceivable that we actually have an enemy. And for those on the Right it is a seperate game. Thus, stuck between two falsehoods, few intellectuals have made the courageous choice. They have chosen“courage of our convictions” instead of courage in actuality. What do I mean? Simply this: those on the right who justly believe we have a mortal enemy in Radical Islam have made the convenient choice to go along with limited war. Limited war, despite its eloquent exponents in the Green Berets and in the “Strategy” industry, is a complete failure and a farce. Every argument which is advanced to show that limited war is a superior form of war is destroyed when it is put to the test.&lt;br /&gt;I do not in any way mean to demean the good intentions of George Bush. After all, conquest is noticeably absent from the curriculum at Yale. No class could accurately convey the feeling of seeing your best friends shot to death, or the warm feeling of guts in your lap. Bush simply sought the path of least resistance. Bush’s fault lays not in his decision to commit to war; nay, it lays in his decision to not prosecute that war to its logical conclusion. This is ultimately why he cannot convey his message it is because the strategy currently employed is muddled when compared with the reality of the threat we face. A real war is total.&lt;br /&gt;Total war ultimately and paradoxically benefits the common people. Limited war was a doctrine cooked up by politicians, for politicians and benefiting only politicians. Limited wars never really end; victories are only Pyrrhic. Our politicians have the ultimate weapons: nuclear. But this they do not use. Everyday we are told of the threat of WMD but WMD is never deployed against the enemy. Instead a whole new ineffective government department is created, idiots put into security uniforms and told to wand all the white men, and wars fought only when a big fat P.C. stamp can be provided. What is the possible logical in this? The logic is this: In a nuclear exchange all would die, not just Ms. Smith’s son. Hence, the politicians, fearful and cowardly men all, choose to limit the war to a type in which Ms. Smith’s son will be the only one who dies. This is of course highly illogical; for the enemy we face will use nuclear weapons regardless of provocation. Who stands for the limited war doctrine? First, leftist traitors, who stand against all that is logical. Total war is logical; hence the leftist must oppose it. Second, women, who create a nice pink flowery world of their own, in which no such thing as the vaporization of thousands of so-called innocents would be necessary to defeat an enemy. Third, petty war-intellectualism, which knows nothing of war but is its greatest exponent. That’s right; the bum crowd who sold us the Iraq war would be dead against any total war strategy. That crowd has been quick to urge caution against “mighty, ancient…. (Add in any manly or fear-inspiring word here)” Iran. This last case is quite a whopper. The women can be excused. Who blames them for evading reality? But the war-intellectual has turned literature out of savagery, and art out of butchery. To dismiss all of their high-minded plans, and pseudo-Lockian notions would be for them to abrogate their reason for living. Therefore they can never take such a reasonable step as to endorse total warfare. Instead we must “win hearts and minds”; lest the Weekly Standard writers lose any sleep. The truth is, war is killing. It is won by killing the most the fastest, and coming home alive. Anything else is secondary. Politicians, pundits, and dolts alike; remember those words and learn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115103226721590651?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115103226721590651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115103226721590651' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115103226721590651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115103226721590651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/blurb-on-total-war.html' title='A Blurb On Total War'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115085212267729598</id><published>2006-06-20T18:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T03:29:05.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Irony- A short journey into the Liberal Mind</title><content type='html'>Liberals, in their modern form, favor; quotas, hate crimes laws and affirmative action. Quotas are not law, unlike the other two institutionalized forms of racism against whites, but many lawyers have imposed them. They are defending civil rights, you see. Hate crimes laws follow a simple principle; equality. Let's all be equal .&lt;br /&gt;Why not?&lt;br /&gt;That sounds great. Wait, why such "Hate Crimes" laws. You see, you lowly intellectually stumped conservative, some are more equal than others in our Litigation State.&lt;br /&gt;But liberals are not racist people.&lt;br /&gt;Liberals, in their modern summoning, are simply communists. They demand more health care, entitlements, welfare and therefore more power. But Communism was tried and failed. Let this not stop the determined Professor, ah you see, those other peoples could never succeed. They were not rich enough, and the totalitarian impulse of communism came from the local tradition, not communism. I'm sure your political science professor will tell you that, or maybe we cannot ever call another society anything, because that could be biased. And bias hurts people, except in the media complex, in that case it is okay(if it exists, remember that Fox is right wing but all other outlets are totally fair and objective). Those other people who tried Communism: Slavs, Bulgars, Germans, Czechs, Romanians, Cambodians, Indians, Angolans, Kazahks, Azerbaijianis, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Georgians, Hungarians, Afghanis, Nicaraguans; to mention the revolutions which failed: Greeks, Turks, Indonesians, Philippinos, Japanese, South Koreans all rejected this ideology. All these people were just in the wrong place, they are sure. We need to try it here.&lt;br /&gt;Remember, it is the Conservatives and individualists who are racist.&lt;br /&gt;The modern Socialist Democrap Party, the son of the solid south; the Confederate, Segregationalist, racist bloc, it is the party of minorities. Any minority is who votes for Republicans is hurting himself. The DemonicRats have a GREAT HISTORY of fighting the KKK, or was it fighting in it?&lt;br /&gt;Moving on.&lt;br /&gt;The liberals love the "Palestinians". Let us examine this amorus passion. Lets pretend, shall we.&lt;br /&gt;Lets pretend that the current Arab population in the area of Israel was always called "Palestinian". Lets pretend that they have always seen themselves as a minority, lets pretend that in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom by Lawrence of Arabia, that they were not called Judean, Syrian, or Jerusalem Arabs. Now that you are pretending, the way is set for you to understand the plight of those christened Palestinian since the 1967 War.. correction, those immortally sacred Palestinians who have inhabited their land since before the Hittite Empire. We have to listen to these liberals, for they simply wish to return all land to the uprooted people except of course, the fascist Israelis. This is the exception. They will probably have to come before the International Criminal Tribunal, with Moses and Joshua tried in effigy, for the War Crimes against the Canaanites. Maybe the European Union, with Germany at the fore, can sue them for the expenses incurred during the Final Solution. This would be the way of the Socialist.&lt;br /&gt;First, lets look at American History. We were evil you see, we Americans with our push westward. While moral judgments against abortion and other perversions are not to be made, any war must be deemed wrong. We committed "genocide" against the Indians...err, I mean "Native Americans". They were native and still are , in the liberal mind, despite being nothing more than nomads from Siberia.&lt;br /&gt;They are still native. Native is the magic word. Once uttered, any objection can then b plastered with, “bigot”, “white-supremacist,” or any other word which has a negative connotation. The liberal surely does not understand either. But it seems to sound good.&lt;br /&gt;In the immigration debacle, the left has this to offer: "Most migrants have native blood". Do you see? It is right that they flood the country. Such notions as nationhood, borders, and culture; they can only apply to others. These notions are outmoded for Western Nations, only built upon oppression. The Migrations is simply giving the country back to the descendants of those peace loving tribes of civilization such as the Comanches, Apaches and Aztecs. In fact, all land occupied by "invaders" must be given up.&lt;br /&gt;Lets begin, let us write the UN Decree, yet to be sent down, to commence the Liberation Act.&lt;br /&gt;First, those of Hispanic descent, having committed the crime of being related to natives who intermarried with the Spanish, will have to slice themselves in half and send part of themselves to Spain and Portugal, leaving half of themselves in their current country. By Decree the process continues, moving across the ocean. Perhaps Africa will be next, with all whites forced to leave. Exempted from this new International Law will be the Middle East. Why the oppressed Moslems cannot be asked to go from whence they came. In fact, give them Sicily. They once ruled there. The oppressing Christians cannot be allowed to drive them out. France will have to cease to be, as the population will be forced to move East, to the Frankish homelands in Germany. The English will have to follow, with many returning to Saxony. Some Scotts will be ordered dismembered in the Liberation Act; their parts sent to Scandinavia, Ireland, Normandy (only to follow to Scandinavia). While dealing with the Scandinavians, all Danes must return north. While purging the ancestors of the Vikings, all Russians with blonde hair will go.&lt;br /&gt;Remember; all land must return to the native peoples.&lt;br /&gt;South Europe will come next. Italians will suffer the Scottish fate; the task of self-dismemberment with their parts sent all across Europe. Yugoslavia will simply be sent east. Romania, as the province of Roma and a center of former Byzantine power, will have to go to Anatolia. Turks, due to their pro-Western attitudes and imperial past, will stand alone among Islamic nations; it will be sent East, to central Asia, to Turkmenistan. But as their ancestral lands in East Turkestan(Xianjiang Province) are inhabited by the utopian socialist Peoples Republic of China, they cannot go there. Hungary, as a nation thrice invaded by nomadic horsemen, will be sent packing the same way.&lt;br /&gt;Why don't we continue?&lt;br /&gt;Poles will suffer division in two. Part of them will go east and part west. The Ukraine will have to be resettled. This will test the liberation act to its utmost. All the halves and fulls in Spain will have to come here. Some Pole halves will settle the Crimea. The Spaniard will, of course, as Christians, not be allowed the fertile land here. They will be sent, as descendants of the Visigoths, back to where they came from: Gotland. Ukraine will go to the long defeated Dacians. This will be hard, as their race has long intermixed with so many. Genetic testing will have to be carried out, and even the smallest amount of blood will due. Perhaps a finger here, a toe there, an arm, a head, until they can get a body and more bodies; thus they can rebuild the long defeated Dacians, who fell to those corrupt Romans so long ago.&lt;br /&gt;Austria, relatives of the Ostrogoths, will settle the North Coast of the black sea.&lt;br /&gt;Moving to Asia they see many nations descended from the Mongols: Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Krygz. They will all go back to Mongolia. As socialist paradises of egalitarian equality, North Korea and China can remain. In fact, China has shown its great care for the world by donating much money to the American Democrat Party.&lt;br /&gt;Its all about giving land back to the natives.&lt;br /&gt;What of the Juden...I mean Jews?&lt;br /&gt;They are invaders, says the liberal mind.&lt;br /&gt;As "creative" people , these liberals, they take a naturally creative view of history.&lt;br /&gt;Thus, the Palestinians are the Canaanites (remember, they will get their reperations after they try Joshua in effigy), the original inhabitants of the Levant. You have to be creative in this; free your mind from such notions as "facts", "opinions", "lies", these are far too constricting. Why not listen to the liberal icons, and light up a joint; they say this works best at curing conservatism. With this creativity you will see that the poor child-killing Palestinians are not descendants of the Arab invaders and the forcibly converted, not the lineage of Arab Islam which since the 7th Century has tried to wipe out Israel. Not the descendants of Arabs moved there during Ottoman rule. Instead, these people are the only pure-blooded people on Earth. Instead they are the only race of people unmoved and unchanged since 1200 B.C.&lt;br /&gt;No peoples shall be allowed to invade land belonging to adherents to the religion of peace and love known as Islam. Palestine is sacred land toiled over by the dispossessed grandfathers of todays generation. These grandfathers, in turn, are descendants of the principled throat cutters who invaded and put to the sword the Christian East, sending Orthodox priests flooding west and leaving the conqueror to build his mosques upon the holiest sites of Judaism and Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;Remember, if you OWN and BELIEVE in the all-peaceful Koran, you are a victim. So let us dispense with the above paragraph. Dear reader, you must wipe its memory from your mind.&lt;br /&gt;With this Creative History, soon to be instituted in our schools, we can see things more clearly. We can scan to the history books. With the Iranian CEO of Houghton-Miffllin, we can see the source of such thing as "the Crusades were Christian aggression" and "Corruption caused the fall of Rome".&lt;br /&gt;Ah, simplicity.&lt;br /&gt;I guess they told me it was so; so it must be so, Rome must have fallen from all those orgies and not from over taxation, immigration and depopulation. The Iranian approved textbook can tell us about this. Since we have outsourced so many jobs, we should continue the trend. In fact, I'm sure China could produce far better objective histories than we.&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have dispensed with all conservative notions, “truth”, “lies”, and the like- let us add one more, “logic”- we can proceed further. It turns out the only source to ever be trusted is at the least a pinko-leftist. A Communist is by far more priestly. But a pinko will do for getting view of things.&lt;br /&gt;Ask a the pinko: What organization has had a positive impact upon liberty?&lt;br /&gt;Their answer: the ACLU.&lt;br /&gt;What a proud group of the most vaunted of professions: LAWYERS. They have such a proud history: mandating that evolution be taught in schools, fighting for civil rights, giving us privacy rights- defending Nazis, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, winning a decision that defendants cannot be brought into courts in handcuffs(which recently bore fruit during Brian Nichols killing spree), defending the rights of gays to join the Boy Scouts and working to litigate that evil group to death and defending flag burning as free speech. The defenders of liberty did not stop there. They recently filed a Freedom of Information request to the Pentagon, thereby encouraging weak generals to prosecute our soldiers- I mean torturers and war criminals. Naturally, in the tradition of liberty, God has been knocked down one lawsuit at a time. A higher power is the worst infringer of privacy rights, so we can't have that. What! You say God knows all! That must mean he knows what goes on “in my bedroom”. This is the most sacred and holy right of the leftist! This cannot be infringed upon. The Holy Communist Temple of the bedroom shall not be defiled by the Holy One! In the interest of liberty, every defense paper and report will be released, declassified. China hasn't stolen enough secrets, they need more. They haven't gotten enough from our declassified material.&lt;br /&gt;Just ask the ACLU, the government has no right to keep secrets from the communists.&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of governance, know this maxim: as a liberal, only the public sector matters. When tax cuts come up: complain of foreign debt, military spending and declare economic collapse. Above all, resist all attempts at fixing.........oops again, destroying entitlements. Speak only of the social security trust fund. In the same vein, when someone points out they like your red shirt, insist that it is blue.&lt;br /&gt;Ask a Democrat, they'll promise that if we just had not taken the war to our enemies' heartland in Iraq, we would be able to pay easily for the program. While they are at it they will tell you that it is not normal for nations involved in global wars to get into debt. These Democrats really know their stuff. In this frame of mind, you will see that the government debt is all that matters. Why all that money surely goes back to us in services. By the solemn oath of politicians, far more valuable I am sure, than even swearing upon "that book" which the left will soon bar us from owning, the money will come back to us. That 3% of your money which is "used for your own good" goes into the sacred trust fund. Depend upon it! Bill Clinton told us it was good. And what an honest man, practically a Confucian ideal of a leader! Isn't the money again taxed when you collect it? Why yes, but, ask any bum; the current 53% net collectors on the government dole are not enough. And the bum, as we know, is equal to the millionaire. In fact he is better.&lt;br /&gt;Ask the liberal about education. You see, one of the things your children will hear is that "there are no terrorists, only freedom fighters". Ah, as John Doe contractor in Iraq is having a scimitar shoved into his throat and his head sawed off while he screams for life, he must remember that he died for freedom. How loving and compassionate! The liberal way it the true way to compassion, don’t you see. I'm sure he/she liberal can tell us that we spend more on defense than education. Aren’t we glad that facts were done away with?&lt;br /&gt;We must to turn to liberals for the next question.&lt;br /&gt;Why fix Medicare and Medicaid?&lt;br /&gt;Just off the old and weak. Why not call it the Schiavo Act. Then demand more health care for the fat and worthless union worker, so they can take three months off. Then hit the business with more taxes and get the mafia-union, union-mafia to demand higher pay. Then you can complain about outsourcing. Yes, this, my friends, is the Red lined Way, the Red Truth, and the Red Life.&lt;br /&gt;The academician liberals’ solution to lobbyists shall be: hand over all power to the left-wing judicial oligarchy. After all, judges cannot be bought. In fact, unique among humans, they alone are inflatable, perhaps half-man, half-god.&lt;br /&gt;With the liberal solutions in mind, shall I continue with this logic, should I burn my books now? Right now, I should go forth and purge my shelf of all illiberal texts. I should take them outside and burn them to avoid censure by the fifth column. I will have to throw my military books in their pyre first; there is nothing more threatening to the liberal order than tales of the glory of battle and grit of war; the need to kill for one's country and defend what one has. Instead, the youth must be fed government heroine and likewise kept ion the dole. Stay home, play games, get fat; have sex with your animals, sister, brother, or same sex friend. But whatever you do, do not become a baby-killer! Why I'm sure all those tens of thousands of Sunnis who died in Iraq were all innocent, and none of them had anything to do with the Baa th Party, genocide, the invasion of Kuwait, or anything else negative. The Illiad must surely go next. While a symbol of literature which is most important to liberals, it must be purged of its most violent elements. It celebrates such life threatening values as "heroism", "self-defense", "service"; all very threatening to the new socialist world order. Sci-Fi will be next; as no one shall dream of the stars, "we have problems here", and any space program might endanger that couch blob on welfare. My Modern American Usage will be tossed into the flames. Its not progressive enough. I swear upon the grave of Karl Marx that is even contains sexist language. If it is not pop-culture rap-crap masqueraded as the new cousin of Shakespeare, it will not be allowed. English is the imperial language, to be rightfully replaced by Spanish. My Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man book, will be incinerated. The Great Prophet must not be insulted. Its just too risky to own such material nowadays. Speaking of Moore, his new movies "How to Insult Capitalism While Gaining Girth From its Fruits" and "Why I Never Complain About Fatness in America:Socialism at a Thousand Pounds" will be out soon. Worst of all in my books, the apostasy of Michael Savage. Last and absolute worst; my pre-1975 history textbook, one untarnished by the new censors. Or I could keep it, as long as the Iranian CEO was at hand to make sure it was good-to-go.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115085212267729598?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115085212267729598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115085212267729598' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115085212267729598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115085212267729598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/irony-short-journey-into-liberal-mind.html' title='The Irony- A short journey into the Liberal Mind'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115085094473817029</id><published>2006-06-20T17:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T03:09:11.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>More on Haditha</title><content type='html'>I am hearing more sickening garbage about the so called "Haidtha Massacre".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently military lawyers threatened the Marines with the death penalty if they did not sign a confession. The Marines are now in chains. They will actually be subject to the death penalty. And the command is not stopping this. This is Lt. Pantano again, but far worse. The men did what needed to be done. They killed the enemy. We invited- that is the U.S. government put in power by the people- to join the military and kill the enemy. But when they do we throw them in jail? What insanity is this?

China rising as a regional power will shake east asia. Provided the Chinese people rise up and throw out the madarin dictators, there will be very little possibility for china and the U.S. to go to war.

He is a libertarian talk-show ost on in Atlanta. Check him out if you havent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is talking about the failed gas attack. This is disturbing. First the details of the plot are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-A Saudi Arabian had plans for a working device the distribute cyanide gas.&lt;br /&gt;-The plan was called off by the second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this means is Al-Qadea is recovering. If the top leaders are able to communicate over such a diostance, from Saudi Arabia to presumably Pakistan, they are not crippled. They are capable of a chemical attack. Chemical attacks are the moist difficult, but this revelation proves that Al-Qadea is capable of pulling it off. This means that the possibility of a mass-casualty attack goes up, as chemicals are very easy to come by in an industrial scoiety such as ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would Al-Qaeda stop an attack on the U.S.?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because such an attack will wake us up. They are preparing something much worse than 9-11. All A.Q. has to do is wait a few months and the American people will put in a worse set of cowards than those who are currently populating and polluting our halls of power. Our enemies are much smarter and far more determined than anyone in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its sad but true.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115073180190917868?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115073180190917868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115073180190917868' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115073180190917868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115073180190917868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/terror-attack.html' title='Terror Attack'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115058096929863188</id><published>2006-06-17T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-17T19:10:50.863-07:00</updated><title type='text'>More on Iraq</title><content type='html'>For all polls and foolish minds who would inquire to ask: I disapprove of the conduct of the Iraq war, not the war itself. Now, here is an article in the &lt;a href="http://www.intellectualconservative.com"&gt;Intellectual Conservative&lt;/a&gt; which follows much of my thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many people to blame. War is an action of the state and States have many actors within them. Generals have become press-men and soft nannies. The one Marine General, who admitted that he loved to kill the enemy, was forced into silence. This man, whose name I forget, should have been made Bush's right hand man. Patton also relished in slaying Germans. But back then it was accepted. Now it is something to be suppressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just this week I found that a Marine was being courtmartialed for writing a song which lampooned the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq is a police action. But now it looks like we are concerned more with policing our own rather than Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wesley Clark, the slayer of the Serbian people, is a good example of the new Generals. His type is responsible for this mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Stay the course", the Republican phrase devoid of meaning, is not an option. Running away is not either. Hence both parties are wrong on the "iraq war" which should be termed, in light of most facts, the Iraq campaign. But then again negotiation is now the "solution" to the Iranian nuke crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my knowledge their is no major politician who has called for the eradication of the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually in a dispute between two people there is usually a third option which is the right path. Where is this third option? Our politics is so irrational that we are given two false alternatives and expected to swallow one batch of bile rather than a pile of garbarge.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115058096929863188?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115058096929863188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115058096929863188' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115058096929863188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115058096929863188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/more-on-iraq.html' title='More on Iraq'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115056336097455057</id><published>2006-06-17T09:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-17T14:24:25.746-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Islamic Conquest of Somalia</title><content type='html'>"Two Somali warlords defeated in recent fighting in the capital, Mogadishu, are reported to have fled the country.&lt;br /&gt;Bashir Raghe and Muse Sudi Yalahow, both part of a coalition formed to fight an Islamist militia, were said to have left Mogadishu by boat.&lt;br /&gt;The Union of Islamic Courts gained control of the capital two weeks ago after months of fierce fighting.&lt;br /&gt;The lawless city had been controlled by a group of secular warlords since the government fell in 1991."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of &lt;a href="http://jihadwatch.org"&gt;JihadWatch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam wins another victory today. This would not be worth mentioning if it was not bigger than Somalia. Why is it bigger than Somalia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somalia is nested along the Eastern African coast. To its West is the nation of Ethiopia. Ethiopia, for those who are unaware, is one of the oldest Christian Nations. Readers of the Bible will remember the "Queen of Sheeba" who is thought to hail from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinia"&gt;Abyssinia&lt;/a&gt;. This land, know known as "Ethiopia" once encompassed Somalia, parts of the Sudan,and bits of Southern Arabia. It has lost this position over the centuries. It resisted Islam. It is among the few proud nations, such as France, India, Greece and Israel who have thrown out their Jihadists. Ethiopia has resisted the Islamic horde since it began to raid and push into its territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopia is being enveloped. With the Southern Sudanese being pushed further south and crushed, and with dawa in horrible swing, with Somalia about to go Taliban, Ethiopia is threatened. But this is not just about Ethiopia. It is about Africa. For good or ill, the Pope has delcared Africa the new home of Christianity. On the other side of the continent is the Nigerian mess, with a near-civil war pervading. This is a new Jihadist front. South Africa is also under a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_South_Africa"&gt;dawa campaign&lt;/a&gt;. East Africa is already largely Muslim thanks to centuries of contact with Maylan merchants hailing from Malacha and the Mughal Empire. Liberia, similar to Somalia, is full of Islamic gangs. Recently, and very quietly, the Mauratanian government was overthrown. This nation has declared itself "an Arab nation", and is introducing the Arabic script. Chad is being destabilized by Sudanese funded and trained militas. Of course the Algerian horror continues unabated. Egypt is a pot ready to boil over. Al-Qaeda even has ties to the conflict in &lt;a href="http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/issues/diamond/2001/1230hezbol.htm"&gt;the Congo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Pope wants Africa he might need to call a new Crusade. The Muhammadans already have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is conquering Africa, and indeed the entire world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115056336097455057?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115056336097455057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115056336097455057' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115056336097455057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115056336097455057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/islamic-conquest-of-somalia.html' title='The Islamic Conquest of Somalia'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-115030365641834779</id><published>2006-06-14T09:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-14T09:47:36.450-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Political Correctness at its Most Vehement</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/"&gt;Malkin&lt;/a&gt; has a blurb up about the Haditha investigation of our good Marines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out Lt.

Every single blog had the story up, so why post about it on the day it happened. One must not be swept along in the moment, because the structures of history and politics stem from a deeper ground which is not so easily blown to and fro. In other words, when anaylizing politics, you have to un-learn everything American culture has yet taught you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is practical benefit of Zaraqwis death:&lt;br /&gt;1)He once threatened to attack America. Now he cannot do that. Temporarily his comrades will be confused. Their network is stretched thin.&lt;br /&gt;2)Iraq will recieve a repreive- for a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some other facts to consider:&lt;br /&gt;-Iran still holds all the cards in Iraq- we are negotiating with the good government of Iran. With us or against us.....&lt;br /&gt;-Al Qaida will be looking alot better in the Arab world. Zarqawi was bad press. Now a reapproachment between Sunni and Shia against the infidel(the worst of filth according to both) will be much more possible.&lt;br /&gt; -Al Qaida and others will continue to wage Jihad. Islam will continue to conquer the Sudan, encircle Ethiopia, decimate Israel, batter down the Balkans, attacking all nations with wantonly suicidal rage; wage dawa and demographic war against Europe, Russia, India, America and portions of Central America; launch sweeping persecutions of non-Muslim minorities, and seek to over turn all non-puritancial governments in thier dark corner of the earth. Until Islam itself is challenged, none of this will change.&lt;br /&gt;-Al-Qaida or like minded people still have a great chance of getting WMDs in the next few years.&lt;br /&gt;-Our border is still open to infiltration. Our immigration system is still wide open to Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;-Someone will no doubt arise to replace Zarqawi...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in the larger strategic scheme of things, what good was the death of this one man?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-115023170207044174?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/115023170207044174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=115023170207044174' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115023170207044174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/115023170207044174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/zarqawi.html' title='Zarqawi'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114998748493208769</id><published>2006-06-10T17:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-10T17:58:04.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Civil Rights in the Middle East</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent events of the turbulent Middle East have focused world media attention on this region. This would not be the first time such attention has come. But one thing is different. The current events in the Middle East have a direct bearing upon the civilized nations of east and west. What goes on, in say Uzbekistan, affects all. With the advent of the Al-Qaeda movement, Americans are now totally committed to a long term military and political investment. The current question being asked is: Should America bring democracy to the Middle East? I believe this is the wrong question. America should support the people who battle for their civil rights simply because the victory in such a battle would immediately be a plus for all nations currently threatened by the tactics of terrorists. But this civil rights battle will be most crucial to those people who are not of the majority Islamic religion or sect. America must support these battles.&lt;br /&gt;    The question of "rights" in the area is a lurid tale. Going back to antiquity the region had diverse influencers; Byzantine, Persian, Egyptian and Semitic. But today one religion and one nationality will be conjured up when one speaks of the Middle East: Islam and Arabs. The advent of Islam in the sweeping sands of the Hejaz would utterly shake the known world. The two reigning empires; Persia and Byzantium, would be hard pressed and eventually overturned by the followers of Muhammad, their former lands becoming he core of Dar Al-Islam. Encouraged by the words of Muhammad: "Fight against them until strife be at and end, and the religion be all of it God's." Opposing belief systems, polities and creeds were crushed under. The jizya, a tax upon non-Muslims was instituted. Christianity and Zoroastrianism were blotted out year-by-year. The non-Arabs were also persecuted during this period of the Caliphate; the Kurds chief among those. Later, once the Arab led Caliphate was made into dust; the Assyrians would join the persecuted on the edge of oblivion. The jizya was collected with much abuse. The "protected" minority under this tax, known as the "dhimmi" would know full well his inferiority. Sometime in the middle ages Christianity slipped into minority status, with its adherents forced onto the edges of society. The caliph fell, and modernity came. Britain and France, keen to set up puppet regimes in Syria and Iraq played upon Arab nationalism. Nothing at all changed for the minorities there. In Persia the Baluchis and Khuezistanis could be added to the list of suppressed peoples. In Egypt the age old religion of the Copts has all but vanished. The prejudices and inherent racism of the governing systems of the region did not change and continue to this day.&lt;br /&gt;      But this does not have to stand. Now these oppressed peoples may have their chance at real rights; if the world heeds their cries and works to finally free them from base treatment. America must call upon the nations of the middle east; large and small, to uphold the rights of every citizen equally under the law. In some nations the concept of law may be new. For those under the absolutist monarchies the will of the ruler defines all and law has no meaning. Obviously a corpus of civil law must be formed. This is anathema to mainstream and so-called "extreme" Islamic thought. But the nature of things, reeking of injustice, demands such a course. Members of the Umma and unbeliever must be held as equal under the law. Equality under the nation-state will have to become the norm; not will of the ruler or the enforcement of de fact if not actual Arab Muslim supremacy. This strategy holds great benefits for unlike the strategy of democratization, it cannot be used by the Islamists to gain power and overturn the enterprise. Asserting the civil rights of religious and racial minorities will put to death the hopes of the resurrection of an expansionist caliphate.&lt;br /&gt;    The argument against such a shift in our policy would be something like this: People in the Middle East are bloodthirsty. It would continue, there has been much fanaticism and war and this violent tendency lends the region to dictatorship. This is a sound argument in many respects. But which one of these would not apply to Europe?  &lt;br /&gt;    Another, while not uttered, would go something like this: this will create instability and disrupt oil. I refute this thus; Stability in the Middle East has never been good for the world. The Caliphate was certainly stable. Once it had this stability it marched into Spain at the Jib-al-Tariq; into India beginning in the Sindh(712), into the Eastern Roman Empire and a siege of Byzantium(717), and into China in a decisive battle at Talas(751). Oil cannot dictate our survival. Our survival depends not on some half-baked notion of popular democracy, a folly anywhere and certainly a folly in the intellectual desert of the Middle East, but in liberating the non-Arab and most importantly non-Muslim peoples of this region. That is, to liberate the Kurds, who fell by the sword of the Arabs. To liberate the Assyrians, the only people on this earth who still speak Aramaic, the language which Yeshua delivered his message of salvation. Christians, Atheists and even Ahmadis and Sufis, must be given equal rights. This cannot be unilaterally imposed. A philosophical movement within the Islamic countries must arise. This policy is fraught with problems, but it is a surer bet towards peace than the current foolish game which we re playing. The policy is failing. It is only national honor which holds us in Iraq. It is only the desire to make the sacrifices of the troops there worthwhile that salvages any popular support for the war. Even the wider “war on terror”(really  the war of Islam against the west) is compromised by a lack of will. No terrorist group on earth truly fears retaliation. Their leaders can be killed or their fighters slain, but recruitment picks up all the losses. Locked in a civilizational war which it refuses to acknowledge, the United States continues to try to beat the insurgency in Iraq and stop the Taliban from returning in full. Rightfully seen as weak for this failing, the United States is losing support from Reformers in the Middle East and other nations. But it can be argued America will get no help no matter what it does. But with an aggressive attack into the midst of the enemy one can at least be assured of a victory, “international community” be damned. But our current strategy assures neither support nor victory. It just stagnates. It can be summed up as “sit and get shot at”. America postures about Iran and Syria, and passes weak resolutions to and fro, but nothing is done. Iran builds nukes. Syria stockpiles WMD and both fund terrorism. “With us or against us” I suppose. Meanwhile the American taxpayer is daily raped by the federal mandarins and pork-spending tied into military supplementals so that we can “fight terror”. Even the military technology is of negligible value, since it only makes up for a lack of will.&lt;br /&gt;    In Conclusion: In order to prevent further attacks the United States must press with all available means for religious and racial equality; first upon the Middle East and then its surrounding areas. The borders of the existing states are false. Iran is still a Persian imperialist state, Iraq was of course arbitrarily drawn up by the British, along with Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Sudan. Syria is a false nation. All of these states must be allowed to disintegrate so that the oppressed minorities can form their won states and assert their own rights by force of arms. This is much more moral and much less dangerous than supporting the façade of an Islamic Democracy, which is an oxymoron. This struggle will be long. But the only alternatives are: retreat, Total War, and the current weak-handed strategy. If we are going to fight an unconventional enemy we must think outside of the box. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114998748493208769?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114998748493208769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114998748493208769' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114998748493208769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114998748493208769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/civil-rights-in-middle-east.html' title='Civil Rights in the Middle East'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114991158851038377</id><published>2006-06-09T20:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-20T22:23:03.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Notes on the Mongol Conqests</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The following are notes which I have gathered over the months during a study in the military campaigns of the Mongols for a possible dramatic or historical project. These campaigns are important to study, especially for the United States. The Mongols, always numerically inferior, defeated Islam and China in the same century. As such they must be seen as examples as how to fight these enemies. No modern army, especially western, is capable of the precise cruelty described in these accounts of his campaign against the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khwarezmid_Empire"&gt;Kwarazmian&lt;/a&gt;-Shah, a ruler of what could be termed Central Asia and Persia. In other words Iran. These campaigns prove that strategy trumps numbers, a truth lost on our politicians and foolish media pundits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All quotes from &lt;a href="http://www.coldsiberia.org"&gt;coldsiberia.org&lt;/a&gt; a strange but detailed site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in sharp contrast to other steppe conquerors, was not primarily guided by greed for material riches or other allurements of this world. His was a soaring political ambition, an almost supernatural ability to plan ahead and to let all his moves be directed at political aims that represented the formation of a political structure that was capable of being extended in time and space. People who betray others merit the harshest punishment according to Temuchin, who could not trust unprincipled people who betrayed their master.His personal qualities, notably his intelligence and pulsating intuition, his fresh and invigorating life-force, his intensely ambitious yet selfless nature, his endless capacity for devotion, secured his ascendancy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The Khan united his people in other word. Soon, after his first &lt;a href="http://www.enotes.com/china-text/72507"&gt;lightning campaign against Northern China&lt;/a&gt;, he sent an embassy bearing trade wears to the Shah.&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Shah Mohammed of Khwarezm, which was an empire encompassing Afghanistan, present-day Persia, and Turkestan, that is the area between the Aral Sea and the Caspian, secretly ordered the murder of a caravan of Mongol merchants sent by Chingis Khan to the city of Otrar. Chingis Khan responded by sending an envoy, giving Mohammed the choice between handing Otrar's governor Inalchuq over to the Mongols, or accepting war. This envoy was put to death, and war was declared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;1219: Shah Mohammed collected about 400,000 men to oppose Chingis Khan. Chingis with Subedei as his chief of staff entered the Shah's domain with 90 000 men in from the north and sent Chepe, another of his great generals, with 30 000 over one of the world's highest mountain ranges in from the east. 180,000 were killed in the main battle, but the Shah escaped. After a series of fierce battles during which the Shah only narrowly escaped, the Mongols left during the dark night to join Chingis 1200 miles away, receiving replacements. Chingis, mindful of the need to kill and eliminate the leader to accomplish victory, sent Subedei and Chepe with 2 tuman (20 000 men) to hunt down the Shah. During this hunt, the two Mongol generals with their riders travelled across the whole of Persia, wiping out the population in large areas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;1220: Bukhara and Samarkand are taken, and this was the decisive blow against the Khwarezmians. Mohammad had harbored high military ambitions, and even hoped to be able to conquer China, but when Chingis Khan took Peking in 1215 his hope was finally crushed. Even if the highest estimates of his army reckoned that he had 400 000 men under his command, his army was heterogeneous and of low morality. These men were mainly mercenaries of Turkish origin whose loyalty toward the Khwarezmian Empire and its ruler was very fragile. In addition to that, the army was hated by the population, because its members, foreign to Mohammad's people in every respect, habitually plundered and terrorized them savagely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;However, Mohammad had to rely upon this army for the maintenance of his power. That means, he alienated himself from his own people. Even worse, the loyalty of his army was further weakened by the emergence of a military aristocracy which mainly served its own interests. Worst of all, his own mother Terken Khatun belonged to one of these aristocratic clans. Terken Khatun proved a fateful influence. Among other things, she demanded that the one of Mohammad's sons who were closest related to her be made the crown prince. Mohammad's eldest son, Jalal al-Din, was also the most gifted of his sons, but due to the pernicious influence of Terken Khatun he could not make him his heir. Naturally, this created a serious split between father and Jalal al-Din, who saw that the way the empire was ruled spelled disaster. Jalal al-Din was governor of Afghanistan, whereas the favorite of Terken Khatun was not only made heir to the throne, but was given the main part of the empire. Further; Mohammad's wicked mother established her own court, and that undermined the authority of Mohammad seriously. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Because of all this, Mohammad must resort to violence and killing in order to impose what little authority he could wield over his people. It was typical of his way of governing that he regularly killed the governors of the various regions. In addition to this, his army of disloyal mercenaries needed wages, which had to be covered by appallingly high taxes, which together with the irregular but frequent plundering regularly led to rebellions all over the area under his incompetent and disorganized rule. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Thus, Shah Mohammad had no support in his people, and the loyalty of his army was shaky, to say the least. The combination of the disorganizing influence of his mother and his own incapability to win the support of his population effectively prevented him from any proper defence of his empire when disaster came. When the Mongols attacked, he could not do the obvious militarily correct thing; to meet the Mongols before they entered his area. Instead he chose to defend the biggest garrisons like Otrar, Bukhara and the capital Samarkand. The morale of his army was easily too low to mobilize any high-quality defence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;1221: After less than half a year of flight across the Persian land the Shah died from pleurisy, poor, exhausted and in rags. Now the Khwaresmian Empire had ceased to exist. Chepe and Subedei then made a famous raid around the Caspian Sea and into Russia before returning to Chingis' main army. It is this raid that prompted Edward Gibbon to admiringly state that "Such a ride has never before been attempted, and has never since been repeated." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;“Often in this deceptive retreat they would extend their line until the enemy was surrounded without realizing it. If the hostile troops massed together and fought bravely, the Mongol enveloping line would open, allowing them to retreat. they would then be attacked on the march. This was the fate of the Boharan (Bokharan) army (of Mamluks, 30,000 retreating cavalry warriors; overwhelmed and out flanked, perished in a day, under Genghis and Chepe noyon, after the defeated army of Mamluk slave soldiers fled Bokhara, in abandonment of Shah Muhammad II’s army. The great Persian city of Samarkand, and then the Persian capital of Baghdad, fell thereafter, to Genghis Khan’s sons, as described above)."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;“... at Bukhara, 30,000 garrison troops (mercenary Mamluk cavalry) tried to escape the Mongols but were cut off and slaughtered. Genghis himself rode his horse into (the most hallowed) Friday Mosque and had (library) cases emptied of copies of the Koran (Q’uran), the holiest Muslim text. They were then filled with grain (looted from Bukhara’s storages), for Mongol horses to forage from.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: No trials for those who desecrate the "holy Koran" and no sanctuary for enterprising Muslims in their mosques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;...resulting in Muhammad Shah's envelopment between the Mongol general, Chepe Noyon, from the &lt;anticipated&gt;east, and Genghis Khan from the unanticipated &lt;'impossible'&gt; west. By which the Shah - formerly called 'another Alexander' - was required to divide his vast, but out-generaled armies: one of which was nearly devastated in the field by three tumen's &lt;30,000&gt; of Orluk Juchi’s 'Mangudei&lt;'God-belonging'&gt; heavy-cavalry suicide-troops; who, combined with flanking tumens showering the Mangudei-targeted-enemy with arrows, left 160,000 Persians slain in one day; with minimal Mongol casualties. One Persian official (Vizier) in particular, who had firstly agreed to peace with Genghis and then executed several envoys and confiscated by force what had been a camel train of lavish gifts for him, was captured and put to death by the pouring of molten silver into his ears and eyes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Muhammad Shah had seriously underestimated Genghis Khan's Horde after he learned that they and their ponies were mostly of small physical stature and were equipped with sparse chain-mail armor; and, that few of the Mongol horsemen carried large shields; relying on light shields, body armor and super-swift, masterful war tactics. Russian, Polish and Hungarian armies would later make the same mistake of underestimating the formidability of Genghis Khan’s second and third generation Mongol armies at their Eastern European gates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mongols were also terrifing in presence, moving silently. They were often laughed at for their small size and small mounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;“The striking force of the Mongol army was all cavalry and for both heavy and light cavalry the basic uniform was the same, consisting of blue or brown tunics called ‘kalats’. Round all the borders, collars and cuffs the blue kalats were faced in red and the brown ones in light blue, while for officers the facings were decorated with gold and silver thread. In winter the kalats were lined with fur and the fur replaced the facing. Their trousers were either blue or gray, again lined with fur in winter, and they all wore thick, laced up leather boots with no heels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"The heavy cavalry wore a coat of mail with a cuirass (torso covering armor) made of (hardened) oxhide or iron scales covered in leather, and the light cavalry wore either a cuirass of lacquered leather strips or else a quilted kalat and no armour at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"From the crowns of all the caps and helmets hung two ribbons and the fur trimmings varied according to rank. For officers, in ascending order, they were made from wolf, fox, badger and monkey skins, and for the men, from dog and goat. Beneath the caps and helmets the weather beaten faces of the experienced soldiers were made more terrifying by the thick scars that they had *slashed in their cheeks to stop their beards from growing (*the record speculates: to eliminate icing conditions on their beards in winter - the 4th century AD Huns practiced the same scarring technique; apparently for the same pragmatic as well as fiercely intimidating reasons).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"Every man carried a (small ) wicker shield covered in thick leather while on his left side hung two bows, one for long range and one for shorter range, and on his right side at least two quivers containing a minimum of sixty arrows (cartons of arrows were available in reserve; kept and distributed by in-ranks armorers assigned to that task). A lasso hung from his saddle and a dagger (‘kris' ) was strapped to the inside of his forearm. Apart from these, the light cavalrymen carried a short sword and two or three javelins, and the heavy cavalryman carried a (single edged, slightly curved) scimitar, a battle ax or mace, and a twelve foot lance with a horse-hair pennant and hook below the blade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;'In their saddlebags they carried a change of clothing, a cooking pot, field rations, which were usually yoghurt, millet, dried meat and 'kumiz' (fermented mare's milk), a leather water bottle, a fishing line, files for sharpening arrows, a needle and thread and other tools for repairing equipment. Not only was the saddlebag waterproof, it could also be inflated to act as a crude life jacket for fording rivers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The charge of the heavy cavalry was always the end of the Mongol battle plan. They advanced at the trot and in silence. Only at the last possible moment was the order to gallop sounded on the great naccara, a huge kettle drum carried by a camel, and by the time they had let out one hideous scream (‘kiai'). their lances were among the enemy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A parting quote, certainly not from the Sermon on the Mount, but a mentality which crushed both Islamic Persia and the Abbasid Caliph:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;After one of his generals asked him what what pleased him most, The general’s superior replied amiably:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;“Comrade. The greatest pleasure Is to vanquish your ene-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;mies and chase them before you. To rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your busom their wives and daughters.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;- +Genghis Kha Khan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114991158851038377?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114991158851038377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114991158851038377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114991158851038377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114991158851038377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/notes-on-mongol-conqests.html' title='Notes on the Mongol Conqests'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114962855810835589</id><published>2006-06-06T14:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-09T08:21:10.286-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Notes on Canada</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;From canadian no &lt;a href="http://nodhimmitude.blogspot.com/"&gt;dhimmitude&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nader Hashemi, a political scientist who teaches Middle Eastern studies at the University of Toronto, said &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the dominant strain of Islam in Canada is a harder-line version of the religion&lt;/span&gt; than most people realize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"The imams who have been preaching in Canadian mosques have been imports, people not born and raised in Canada, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;their training tends to be in the theological seminaries of the Muslim world,"&lt;/span&gt; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When they come here, there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;an intellectual chasm&lt;/span&gt; between the training they've received in the Muslim world and the reality of secular modernity here in Canada," Mr. Hashemi said.

Publishers prefer that you have your book read by many. So I post this scene to illicit comments from whomever may read it. Criticism is welcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Muhammad could now look upon his archenemy, which lay there prostrate, half-unconscious, and stuck in delirium. The shackles were tight, and the pain should have been enough to awaken him. But he was lost in his joyful delirium, and he seemed to smile through it all.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Poor Sufyan,” he taunted in a mocking manner. “Is it not now time for you to admit that I am the Apostle of Allah?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan looked up, and his eyes seemed to come to life a bit, as if something a bit dead in him had been ripped to the fore. “To this I still posses some doubt.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Abbas, his captor, was thrown to rage.

There is nothing for me to read.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Abbas gritted his teeth hard as his hands squeezed the nadle of the sword, shaking with a deep rage.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Recite: there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle! Testify before your head is sliced off!” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Muhammad spoke to Abbas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Do not be so gruff with him; for he has not yet seen the manifest signs of my Prophetic Office. Take him to the spur of the mountains round &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Mecca&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;, so that the Companions may be seen.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;           ******************************************* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Abbas took the shackled Sufyan up the craggy cliffs. A jutting rock was this set of cliffs, shooting like a knife blade into the sky which was still blue and beautiful on that day. Like an affront to blue placidity and pure white clouds the dark rock rose. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan stared down at his feet, watching his step as he was lugged upward. The iron armor of his captor was unforgiving to his eyes; so he looked not at its cold demeanor. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“On more step, fool.” Abbas called.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan struggled with his captor’s last demand, his flesh screaming in pain, his flesh in protest. His minds itself was numb. Soon he fell to his knees. The rock cut the flesh on his legs; for the very act of kneeling was a pain. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Up, for the apostle of Allah has ordered you to see the great company of the prophet; woe to you, for we are legion.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan looked up with a blank face, and said nothing. The chains which held him rattled as Abbas jerked him forward.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan was forced to stand, and the wounds upon him bled. The air was dusty, as dust had risen from below and become a choking food which his lungs could not take in. His flesh stopped resisting and he now turned toward the blazing sun, and cast his eyes downward, to that sight which he was ordered to see.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;A sight filled the valley the likes of which his eyes had never beheld. He could see a few tribal banner flaying in the wind. His mind cried foul as he realized that they were not few but many. Not many, but innumerous! They rampaged against the sky. He saw them, and a great terror took him. It was as if he had been struck with an arrow, something which took hold of him. He knew those tribes, and his mind could only guess at the numbers. His mind began to run a calculus, and he actually choked aloud. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“I see the fruits which he has borne,” Sufyan muttered.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Woe to you!” said Abbas with a smile. “None can withstand him. It was all due to his prophetic office. There is no choice left but Submission or death!”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan stared out, and Abbas’ hand jerked him back and then forward, pushing him neared the edge of the cliff, and the thousand foot drop downwards. He stared at the open air, and it for a second looked a beautiful thing. But the cloud of dist raised by the great Mohammedan force rose and swallowed that sight.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;He wiped his eyes. He looked off into the morning horizon, and looked down to the horde longingly. He had wished it to be gone when his eyes were cast down, but it was there, in its full horror. “Legion indeed. Was it the case that I had wielded a stronger axe and cut down your tree and all its fruits. Woe indeed, for now it is such that no fire that we could kindle, save maybe the light of the sun itself, would suffice to swallow the Obedient.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Abbas laughed heartily. “No, by Allah, not any but the light of a thousand suns! Shall you give the testimony?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sufyan had not yet turned. He still stared out over the cliff. He moved closer, but then he stopped.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“I have seen what is over that edge, and verily it must be as you say. I shall walk down the edge with you as a brother.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Recite: There is no god but Allah..”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114961150839015350?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114961150839015350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114961150839015350' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114961150839015350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114961150839015350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/book-excerpt.html' title='Book Excerpt'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114955490373744075</id><published>2006-06-05T17:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-09T08:19:45.160-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Notes upon Haditha</title><content type='html'>This is just distgusting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has anyone else notice the pack of wolves in the media setting upon the haditha incident?&lt;br /&gt;Let us ask the question: is killing civilians unjustified in a situation where it is impossible to tell civilian and enemy apart? Ask the soldiers who have been in this type of war. They are far more qualified than I. There are many problems causing the "Haditha Syndrome", which is most virulent in the American press, but is also in the military. Did not Illario Pantano nearly stand trail for shooting a possible "insurgent"? Did the Abu Ghuraib soldiers not get a ten-year sentence for panties on the heads of the enemy? The military is betraying its own. If this investigation prodcues convictions, I am sorry to say, one must think very hard about whether or not to serve in a military where the enemy nation is of more value to the command structure than its own. Yes Iraq, as long as its lovely people continue to shoot, throw rocks at and taunt our  wounded troops will be an enemy nation. This is the problem my friends- war can only be fought for a negative end. War is an act of destruction. War is waged in order to kill the enemy. Whether his nation becomes a democracy after that is just a fringe benefit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114955490373744075?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114955490373744075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114955490373744075' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114955490373744075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114955490373744075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/notes-upon-haditha.html' title='Notes upon Haditha'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114921861114733186</id><published>2006-06-01T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-01T20:23:31.176-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Coming of the Second Civil War</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;    &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Consequently of the prevailing and unshakable cowardice inherent in the effete feminized political class; and upon the dread heels of nearly two-decades of utter foolery and vain actions, the nation we know as the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; stands upon the deep edge. On the other edge of the abyss sits another nation, called the United States surely enough, but a simply more western outpost of Socialist Utopia World. Behind us, deep in that recess of time which is only a faint phantom to most is the mass-immigration which cast the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Roman  Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt; into ruin. Shall we ignore yet another lesson? Or better yet shall the Senate? History has one purpose: To teach those who come after. Let us then learn.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Thousands upon thousands took to the streets during the immigration debate. This should have been a wake-up call. All previous illusions should have been swept away. Illusions like: “They just come here to work,”, “they are just like we are, because we are all immigrants”, “Mexicans are the victims of discrimination,” – and the list could go on and swallow the whole piece.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The issue is yet fading from the knat-like attention span of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the media, but the movement to destroy &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; still goes strong. The pro-illegal marchers had good company. Many left-wing groups, such as ANSWER, marched side by side with Mexicans who were actively calling for the destruction of white people and the active division of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; along racial lines. Merged into one, on the day of those protests, were the forces of subversion. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;What the common trait of most of the demonstrators besides their rage? &lt;i style=""&gt;Their age&lt;/i&gt;. The youth of the Hispanic community has been forever poisoned by the skinheads of the brown persuasion. Assimilation has clearly failed. This is shown by the fact that not only illegals came forward boldly but also many Hispanics. Assimilation has failed not only because of willful neglect, but because of a cultural exhaustion which is present in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Any true government worth its value in taxation would have smashed the demonstrations. Instead, what was the response of our Senate? Swift approval of an amnesty bill which is the most horrendous act of treason ever committed by a “ruling body”. When &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Rome&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; suffered the Great Migrations it was involuntary, and when it was allowed it was by the whim of the Emperor. Think of the factors involved in our immigration system when reading this:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;“This frontier was then accepted as permanent and was strengthened. However, Germans continued to infiltrate in small war bands, and many found service with the Roman army. In the middle of the second century the Romans, because of increasing shortages of manpower for agriculture, for the trades, and for the army, began deliberately to recruit Germans as soldiers. ……... Whole colonies of Germans were given land to settle on under ''guest rights'' in Roman law&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Now we have Senate acting in the same manner but supposedly representing the people. This level of insanity surpasses all historical examples, and cannot be rationally explained by anyone. The Senate has committed treason. This is without doubt. From wikipedia:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;“&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Article Three of the United States Constitution"&gt;Article Three&lt;/a&gt; defines treason as only levying war against the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; or "in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort," and requires the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court for conviction.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We have millions of witnesses, as a treasonous and odious bill is open to all to read.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;“This safeguard may not be foolproof since &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress" title="Congress"&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt; has, at times passed statutes creating treasonlike offences with different names (such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition" title="Sedition"&gt;sedition&lt;/a&gt; in the 1789 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts" title="Alien and Sedition Acts"&gt;Alien and Sedition Acts&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage" title="Espionage"&gt;espionage&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage" title="Sabotage"&gt;sabotage&lt;/a&gt; in the 1917 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act" title="Espionage Act"&gt;Espionage Act&lt;/a&gt;) which do not require the testimony of two witnesses, and have a much broader definition than Article Three treason.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;The Constitution does not itself create the offence, it only restricts the definition. The crime is prohibited by legislation passed by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress"&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt;. Therefore the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Code" title="United States Code"&gt;United States Code&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;span class="plainlinksneverexpand"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;18 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Code" title="United States Code"&gt;U.S.C.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/usc-cgi/newurl?title=18&amp;section=2381&amp;amp;type=titlesect" title="http://www.law.cornell.edu/usc-cgi/newurl?title=18&amp;section=2381&amp;amp;type=titlesect"&gt;§ 2381&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; states "whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Where does this leave the majority of Senators?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;We now are suffering under a state of anarchy in the nation which was once very proud of its laws. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;This action will have one consequence: the racist brown-pride groups listed above will now have millions of poor, uneducated, and illiterate stooges to manipulate. The Senators are smiling because they actually believe they have this rabid dog under control. But it will turn and bite them. We will all feel its sting, whether we be white or black, brown or yellow, or any combination of “races”. The Second Civil War has already begun:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;“Joe Baca, California State Senator, "The Latinos are coming! The Latinos are coming! That's what this agenda is about. It's about assuring that we increase our numbers. That we increase our numbers at every level... We can't go back. We are in a civil war. United, Latinos will win."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The war was declared by the Brown Pride movement long ago. Now our politicians have opened the door to death. The Second Civil War will be a terrible war, more akin to the intifada in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; than the fields of &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Appomattox&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;. It will be for the lack of a better term, a race war, begun essentially by the agents of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; which flood our nation on a daily basis. The ultimate responsibility for those who will die lays not at the feet of the Mexican government, nor at the racist Latino groups, but squarely at the feet of the foolish American political class, whose crass cowardice could cost our nation everything.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Bib:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Treason:&lt;/b&gt;“Treason” &lt;i style=""&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/i&gt;. 1 June 2006. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason#United_States"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason#United_States&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Great Migration: “&lt;/b&gt;Migration Period” &lt;i style=""&gt;Wikipedia &lt;/i&gt;1 June 2006&lt;i style=""&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_period"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_period&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Tribal Migrations” &lt;i style=""&gt;Tribal Migrations &lt;/i&gt;1 June 2006&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mars.wnec.edu/%7Egrempel/courses/wc1/lectures/15tribes.html"&gt;http://mars.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/wc1/lectures/15tribes.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Civil War:&lt;/b&gt; “Demographic Warfare” &lt;i style=""&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/i&gt; 1 June 2006&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_warfare#Mexicans_.2F_United_States"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_warfare#Mexicans_.2F_United_States&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114921861114733186?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114921861114733186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114921861114733186' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114921861114733186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114921861114733186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/06/coming-of-second-civil-war.html' title='The Coming of the Second Civil War'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114884131196377932</id><published>2006-05-28T11:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-30T21:48:05.850-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Brief Introduction to Muhammad and Islam</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;Around the time of 600 A.D. a religion borne of barbarians burst forth from the middle east; devouring empires and peoples, converting or destroying all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master." (Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Nu' man said to Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Apostle he would not have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday)."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;The central question is: Was this Muhammad just another prophet, an Arab Jesus come to speak of his kingdom to come? Was he a Bedouin Buddah seeking enlightenment and preaching peace? Perhaps he was a new Moses, leading his Arabs to their promised land?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;From the Koran, the Hadith, the Sunnah and the Sirat Rasoul Allah we know his life, his deeds, and his word. We also know of the death he caused. He comes forth from the desert and galvanises the tribes against the urban centers. He storms Mecca and Medina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;But Medina was not yet Medina. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;It was known as Yathrib.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;It was a Jewish city, a product of Jews cast out of their lands. Did Muhammad join arms with his fellow People of the Book? After all, your textbooks are quick to point out that Christians and Jews are such.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Muhammad was a killer, a warrior; a force of death and falsely-claimant prophet. He burns caravan, commits atrocities; starves, burns and enslaves entire cities&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;He casts the first stone against an adultress, saying with word and deed "It is I alone who carries the will of God". Muhammad took a bride, Aisha, one of many. What is different here, worth noting above all others, is her age. She was only nine years old at the time. Worse than marriage, he &lt;i style=""&gt;consumates &lt;/i&gt;this marriage; this union of old man and frightened child. Muhammad is thus the only religous founder to also be a molestor. According to the Islamic scholars, the girl is so small she takes along her toys to his bedchambers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Not only did Muhammad destroy Jews, Arabs, order assassinations, but he also had sex with a little girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                         &lt;/span&gt;Child marriage was therefore deemed lawful in Islam. It had found its way into &lt;i style=""&gt;sunna &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i style=""&gt;sharia.&lt;/i&gt; Marriage is considered nothing more than a sale of the minor girl. The contract can and is drawn up between the guardian and would be husband. Her consent matters not. Muhammad did worse in this arena, marrying&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Zaynab bint Jahsh, his adopted sons ex-wife. He also went against his own teachings, his own uttered "sacred words", perhaps following that which was un-uttered, by marrying more than four women.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;Add incest to the rap sheet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;After Muhammad's death, Islamic armies explode into Judeah, Egypt and Syria; extinguishing these provinces of Byzantium, in effect putting half of their empire to the sword. The Christian met the Moslem at the Battle of Yarmuk bridge. Here the Byzantines were defeated and the population converted to Islam en masse.&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Damascus became the capital of the Umayyads, who went on the wrest control of the Mediterrainean from the Romans. They continued attacking, imbued with doctrines of Jihad. they went on to besiege the great city of Byzantium,but it held them off for the meantime. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Seven centuries late the Turks would finish the job; the "Uthuman" or Ottomans would establish domain there. In Judeah the Islamic warriors commit the greatest affront to Jews since the diaspora; they build the Al-Aqsa Mosque upon the Temple Mount. It is later claimed the Muhammad ascends to heaven from the Holy City. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Jerusalem is claimed as Holy. Convert or die becomes the practice; the de facto rules of engagement, their law of peace and war. Persia, one of the longest lasting civilizations, is subdued almost without battle. Byzantine Africa is overrun. The Byzantines melt across the Mediterrainean and have lost nearly all of their landmass save southern Italy. The butchery of Byzantine territory provided Muslim scholars with a wealth of medical and mathematical knowledge as well as architechture which they would later impress upon groups of invading crusaders. Dar-al-Islam was spreading.&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;Thus darkness came to descend. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;In the West the forces of Islam crossed into the Visigothic kingdom of Spain. There, a fragmented Kingdom was preoccupied with battling the Basques in the North. But when word of a landing of 700 Raiders reached the young Visigoth King, he charged south with a small force and brimmed with confidence. There, upon the straits of Gibraltar (jib-al-Tariq, or rock of Tariq), the King was killed. The Arabs, with Tariq at thier head, ran circles around the force and targeted the king with brutal singlemindedness. He was killed swiftly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It was not long after that columns of Moslems descended upon cities and butchered man, woman and child if they were resisted. Occupation was rather light, with Muslims tolerating the other major religions. The Moors, as brutal as they were, were among the most tolerant. But they did not stop with Spain. They wished to follow the concepts laid out by their theologians; there is the House of Islam and the House of War. House of Islam, it must be noted, does not mean the house of peace. Islam does not come from the Hebrew shalom as widely believed. This is an error or a lie. Islam means submission; the House of Submission is the lands under Islam. All other lands are known as the House of War; thus the warlord can justify death and destruction against enemy lands by simply envoking a divine authority. In a short time the Moors amass an army of hundreds of thousands, from many nations(like the Crusade which are much maligned) and pour into France with a great head of cavalry and infantry, crushing small disunited tribes as they advanced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;The Franks came to meet them at the Battle of Tours. They fought under Charles Martel, a man known as "the hammer" presumably because of his tactics in routing the Moslem foe. We know little of the actual battle. The clearest account possible is that the Arab's camp was laden with booty. The Franks charged this camp in a desperate bid to combat the superior numbers of the enemy. Perhaps Martel knew Islam better than we do, because the Arab army rushed to save its booty, and finding treasure much better than that pesky sixth-pillar, fled. After his resounding victory with very little loss on his side, the Frankish forces ethnically cleanse southern France. The Moors had brought a baggage train of women and children as if they intended to make their homes here; they to are put down. They are scattered into desperate bands, seeking escape from the implacable enemy to their Moorish domain. It amounts to a great slaughter, figures on the size of the army vary, as do its losses. But one fact is clear: of the large force that foolishly crossed the Pyreenes, almost none returned, including the Moorish Governor-General. &lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;They were killed to a man. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;Half-way round the world in this time, at a river in Central Asia, the Arabs met the Chinese. Unlike the Romans, who had previously traded and interchanged with China, they did not try to convert them with missionaries. Instead, at the Battle of Talas River, in 751, the Chinese were shoved out of their territory by the sword&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;In India forces under Muhmmad Qasim follow the model of Tariq, beginning a series of raids into India. Much like the historically maligned Mongols or their cousins the Huns, they began as small affairs and shape-shifted into massive invasions. Temples are burned, thousands and thousands are massacred, dozens of cities are burnt to ashes, their inhabitants forced into slavery and their females forced into sexual servitude. Qasim commands seventeen such brutal raids and ravages all before him. India is throughly violated by the barbaric forces. When Qasim begins to rule with a benevolent hand, allowing worship of Hindus; leaving the locals to themselves, he is chastised by his Sultan; Hajjaj. He is told "the great God says in the Koran [47.4]: &lt;i style=""&gt;True believers, when you encounter the&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style=""&gt;unbelievers, strike off their heads.&lt;/i&gt; The above command of the Great God is a great command and must be respected and followed. You should not be so fond of showing mercy, as to nullify the virtue of the act. Henceforth grant pardon to no one of the enemy and spare none of them, or else all will consider you a weak-minded man."&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This becomes his standing order as the area known as the Sindh is taken. &lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.webindia123.com/history/MEDIEVAL/delhisultanate/delhi%20sultanate1.htm"&gt;Mahmud of Ghazni &lt;/a&gt;followed up with a full conquest, brutal in its own right. He commanded raid after raid, until all was subdued. Great Hindu kinds were beheaded, armies laid to ashes. India, with its many kings, failed to unite and was smashed, leading to the creation of the Dehli Sultanate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;Medieval Hindustan was a flower of civilization before the attacks and the beginning of the butchery. The Moslems could not create; no they found it far easier to destroy and absorb what was left. The Indian mathematicians were comparable to the Mayans, their sculpture and architechture was comparable to that of Rome. One of the longest lasting civilizations in the history of the world, heralded in the &lt;a href="http://www.mountainman.com.au/rig_veda.html"&gt;Vedas&lt;/a&gt; and Bhagavad-Gita, was met with a barabarous horde of man-locusts.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Hindus are the true creators of Algebra, later learned by the invaders and called Al-Jabr. The Muslim forces followed their prophets commands, killing all the "pagans" without mercy. Buddhists and Hindus were thrown to the winds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  the Hindu king of Kabul was enslaved, thus wiping out the last non-muslim religion to come to Afghanistan. The reign of the Moghuls in India began upon rivers of "kafir" blood. Slaves, mostly Hindu, were marched toward the Sultan in Baghdad. Along the way they pass through a series of treacherous paths; now know as the Hindu Kush, meaning slaughter of the Hindu. Like a parasite, Islam had latched itself onto the former lands of Persia, Byzantium, the Visigoths and the Guptas. By the sword Islam had come to reign. It would presage more horrible things to come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="font-size: 78%;" align="left" width="33%"&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;  &lt;div style="" id="ftn1"&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoFootnoteText"&gt;&lt;a style="" href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="FootnoteSymbol"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;One can point to such stories in the Holy Bible but the act is not conceived as generally as it would be considered in the Recitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="" id="ftn2"&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoFootnoteText"&gt;&lt;a style="" href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="FootnoteSymbol"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;This act had little to do with Islam in as a religion and more to do with Byzantine oppression of religious minorites. For the scope and nature of such oppresions, see Gibbon's &lt;i style=""&gt;Decline and Fall&lt;/i&gt; where it is detailed in full. But one must also remember the jizya was heavy &lt;i style=""&gt;Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam&lt;/i&gt; (p. 47-56).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="" id="ftn3"&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoFootnoteText"&gt;&lt;a style="" href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="FootnoteSymbol"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;The Islamic scholars could take some knowlegde and discard the rest.

The government there lies to its people ; spits upon &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and preaches hate and death. It crushes all dissent with brutal force. The nation of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is a serpent, slithering itself into position to bite at our exposed heels. In &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; it plays a role of interloper; paying off clerics and spying upon our combat troops. Upwards of ten thousand Shia Clerics, forsaken by Saddam in his day, have returned to the south and began anew with Iranian checks in hand.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s airwaves are dominated by Iranian propaganda. Pro-Iranian militas are also strong there. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; also recruits suicide bombers for anti-American attacks. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; attaining nuclear capability would not simply be a repeat of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;North   Korea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; going nuclear. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;North Korea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is in a relatively sane neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is not.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;And &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is probably more insane than anyone in the West can imagine. Recently they called for the destruction of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. For all the speeches on the Holocaust one must ask whether we will be willing to stop such a move. Now is the test for us sitting pretty in the Western nations.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s neighbors are the spawners of suicidal Islamic terror; they are also insane. Who is to stop &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; once they attain their dream. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; would have to respond, with either a strike or increase in its arsenal. A nation never goes in reverse with any missile technology. The initial threat from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will be missiles raining down on our theater bases and allies. This will not be all. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will maintain and refine. Eventually they will have built or bought missiles capable of hitting our homeland. They may choose to send a Hizbullah terrorist with a nuclear device to do just the same. &lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;When one speaks of such developments, the threat is direct. It is great and powerful, one of an expanding arms race. An &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; with nuclear arsenal will spark an arms race with &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The House of Saud will do what is necessary and develop its own WMD stocks. Any country bordering &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; or under the range of its missiles(save the suicidal Russians) will do so. This will be the first in a chain of nightmares. Imagine for a moment, the death that would have come had &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;England&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Spain&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in the 16th century; Protestant and Catholic, possessed the ultimate weapon. This could have turned their ideological and theological wars into genocidal ones. In our times, the danger is in this: repressive &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has been infiltrated by al Qaeda; Saudi nukes could become Osama's. Unless the terrorist network already has them, this will be their most probable source since the Russian crackdown on &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Chechnya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Al Qadea with nuclear arms has the worst of all consequences. With &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; next door, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Pakistan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will increase its nuclear weaponry. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will follow suit. Seeing this last action as the best pretext, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will speed its nuclear build-up. Nuclear programs are likely going on under secrecy in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Syria&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Egypt&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; as well. The entire House of Islam is going nuclear. The world will have no choice but to follow.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;We cannot attack &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; with a limited objective, if our goal is a true peace in the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Mideast&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Going in half-cocked will result in a wave of destabilization. The aim of military action must be the overthrow of the Ayatollahs and their religious-political institutions. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; must become a democracy or a militarily de-fanged anarchy. But if given the choice between an Iraq-debacle and a simple vengeance laden conquest we should choose conquest. The Iranian response to an attack will strike out in the offensive manner. They will not stand firm as many have tried; their armed forces will attack. They can strike into the eastern Saudi oil fields and possibly &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The Syrians will be give a nod to pick up training and funding of terrorists to go into &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and attack our forces there. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;A major disruption in the oil will result. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is in position along the Straits of Hormuz to disrupt its shipping as well. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Bahrain&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Qatar&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will be threatened. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Kuwait&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; could be invaded. Terror will rip into &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and missiles could follow. The deadliest of Chemical&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;and Biological weapons could strike any number of nations. Anti-Shia feeling could well up in the breasts of Sunnis and a massive war could follow, reaching out across Islamic lands and engulfing many lives. Does all of this mean action is unwise? No.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Inaction would be worse, meaning the rise of a Pan-Shia empire, the continued funding of Al-Qaeda by the regime in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Tehran&lt;/st1:city&gt;, continued military industrialization in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the building and buying of more weapons. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has also promised to spread its nuclear goodies. Correct action will ensure an incisive strike and a quick victory.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The results will be resounding and swift. The mullahs hold will crack. The evil power of our time, holding sway over all Shia terrorism, will end. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will be free from the threat of encroaching theocrats. Defeating &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will defeat &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Syria&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, the Iranian junior partner in terrorizing the region. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Syria&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has already had to pull away from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Lebanon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The Syrian leader is seen as weak, and if his number one ally falls, Bashir Al-Assad will be de-legitimized.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;No nation in the region will have to build or improve nuclear stocks. As &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s hold crumbles, so shall its terrorism. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s problems will lessen and the trio of terror against &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will all but disappear. Hamas, Hizbullah and Islamic Jihad will lose all state sponsors. An entire sect of Islam will be free of radicals and a proud Iranian populace could find their oft-trumpeted Persian past to be repeated in a future of liberty. If it does not find this, at least their capability to inflict Nuclear Jihad will disappear, and the West shall have one less Islamic Bomb to worry about.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Yet our President declares: "The idea that we are about to invade &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is just ridiculous". Ridiculous Mr. Bush is it? If not an invasion then at least force the Imams to cry for peace. Let them feel the pain of their army being destroyed. It is time &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; proceeds to a no-nonsense offensive against our mortal Islamic enemy! Let them cry from their palaces and renounce their ambitions-enough of pitiful weeping for those who have died at the hands of terror-let us sever those hands. No! Let us destroy the body which has wielded them for over thirty years. This is my call: We must smash the Islamo-Persian edifice now!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114878312806264041?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114878312806264041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114878312806264041' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114878312806264041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114878312806264041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/why-we-must-smash-islamo-persian.html' title='Why We Must Smash the Islamo-Persian Edifice'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114863416674226202</id><published>2006-05-26T01:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-27T01:26:40.366-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Stop the Death of Our Soldiers in Iraq</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/1600/ted_kennedy_2006-01-04.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/320/ted_kennedy_2006-01-04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;                                                                         &lt;p class="blogContent"&gt;After much debate, self-questioning and political hand-wringing, I think I have come upon a solution. In terms of armoring our troops, we have tried many things, indeed everything.&lt;br /&gt;We have tried steel. But it too can be penetrated.&lt;br /&gt;We have tried the best mixtures of materials and even depleted uranium.&lt;br /&gt;Still, the men die.&lt;br /&gt;But I, with a simple application of logic, have found a better one. You see, each of the aforementioned materials has issues. The steel is in short supply. Its workers are unionized and its production slow. The depleted uranium is opposed by regulators and environmentalists alike. This raises the cost enormously, exemplified by soaring military budgets. If you are religious, you must believe, albeit begrudgingly, that it is God's will that our youth die like they do. But even this cosmic dilemma can be overcome.&lt;br /&gt;My armor, perhaps to be used by individual soldiers, or , more likely, vehicles, is impervious to all of the above impediments. This new armor is to be called Armor by Politician. Immune to all codes, laws, morals, decent modes of conduct. This material will never fail under fire. Regulatory laws will never interfere with their production and strengthening. Spawned among the red-tinged leftists college and pushed swiftly through law school we have an endless supply of politicians, ready made for deployment as armor. Despite their pollute affect, our new material will not be opposed by either Greenpeace or the EPA, as it is all natural and "renewable". To avoid the Wrath of God, which some may fear is coming upon the troops, we must use this material; Politician. Chiseling down the Ten Commandments and persecuting the Judeo-Christian religion, our material has been shown to be very adept at avoiding and indeed mocking the wrath of our creator. So it is only natural that when our men ride into battle enwrapped with our invincible material; Politician, not a man shall die. If this proves to be penetrable, we shall pick a differing type of material: Corpulent Politicians. This type, best exemplified by the gelatinous mass known as Ted Kennedy, can absorb rounds and shrapnel more readily. With a thicker politician guarding our men no number of suicide bombers will get our troops. This is the way in which we can win the war on the frontline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the political side of the war we have a much more difficult task. We seek to spread democracy in the hope of pacifying the Moslem Arab with freedom. This is the wrong approach. It will just bring scum to power. Instead, their diseased body politic must be injected with the idea of Civil Liberties. Not just your regular civil liberties, as would be found in our glorious constitution, but the idea of civil liberties at the expense of all else. Once this idea has taken hold, through domination of the media by our like minded Civil Libertarians, we could strike our decisive blow. We will need the best of the best to form a new force, a new force capable of the most heinous sabotage. Pulled from the halls of Harvard Law, Yale, Columbia, and NYU we shall form the 1st ACLU Parachute Division. Some conservatives have argued that we must deport the ACLU for our own safety. I agree, for it is only they who can save us from Islam. Complete with a pound a day marijuana rations and hand radio we could drop in the first groups. These men and women would hide behind every rock and precipice and when Allah was mentioned outside of mosque they would leap in great agitation, advancing in a horde to file lawsuit after lawsuit. We would drop more and more, and eventually take hold among a small number of Arabs; then more and more, until a fifth column emerges. They would start anew with each set of reinforcements, taking their cases to the highest monarch and mullah, arguing with great veracity and such conviction that the Moslem would think them djinn or agents of Iblis and recoil in horror. With letters of a long dead Persian Satrap or Ottoman Sultan calling for separation between mosque and state they would assail every theologian and one lawsuit by one lawsuit chisel away at the edifice of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two plans are crucial for the war against terror. I urge you to call your representatives and have them pressure Mr. Bush to implement these plans; for only the politicians and lawyers can save us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114863416674226202?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114863416674226202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114863416674226202' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114863416674226202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114863416674226202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/how-to-stop-death-of-our-soldiers-in.html' title='How to Stop the Death of Our Soldiers in Iraq'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114863243359961806</id><published>2006-05-26T01:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-26T01:33:53.623-07:00</updated><title type='text'>More of Allah's love</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;These are various quotes from Craig Winn's &lt;a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net"&gt;Prophet of Doom&lt;/a&gt;. I highly recommend reading it. Any concerned American, of any non-Muslim with an interest in survival should heed the lessons therein....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When Umm Salama,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the wife with whom der prophet was being intimate, heard that Abu had been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;forgiven, she asked, “‘Can I give him the good news?’ He said yes, so she went and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;stood at the door of her room and said, ‘O Lubaba, rejoice, for Allah has forgiven you.’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N448 “Sa’d said, ‘O Allah! You know that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;there is nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against those who disbelieve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Your Apostle. O Allah! I think you have put to an end the fight between us and the infidels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But if there still remains any fight with the infidels, then keep me alive till I fight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;against them for Your sake.’” Sa’d was hardly a saint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ishaq:463/Tabari VIII:34 “When Sa’d reached the Messenger of Allah and the Muslims, the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prophet said, ‘Arise and go to your master and help him dismount.’ Then Muhammad said,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘Pass judgment on them.’ Sa’d replied, ‘I pass judgment that their men shall be killed,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;their women and children made captives, and their property divided.’ Allah’s Apostle proclaimed,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘You have passed judgment on the Jews with the judgment of Allah and the judgment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;of His Messenger.’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;B59N447 “Sa’d came riding a donkey, and when he approached the mosque, the Prophet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;said, ‘Get up for the best amongst you.’ Then the Apostle said, ‘O Sa’d! These people have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;agreed to accept your verdict.’ Sa’d said, ‘I judge that their men should be killed and their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;offspring and women should be taken as captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘You have given a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;judgment similar to Allah the King’s Judgment.’” A second reveals: Bukhari:V5B59N448&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“They then surrendered to the Prophet’s judgment but he directed them to Sa’d to give the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;verdict. Sad said, ‘I give my judgment that their men should be killed, their women and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;children should be taken as captives, and their properties distributed.’” A third proclaims:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N362 “The Nadir and Qurayza violated their peace treaty, so the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prophet exiled the Nadir and then he killed the Qurayza men. He distributed their women,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;children and property among the Muslims.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N459“I entered the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mosque, saw Abu, sat beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, ‘We went out with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allah’s Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But it’s worse than it appears on the surface. Since it was Muhammad who&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;actually perpetrated these crimes, it confirms that Muhammad was Allah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allah was never anything more than a rock idol, the Black Stone stuck in the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;wall of the Ka’aba. Muhammad created his persona and his revelations. And&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;that is why Muhammad’s personality, character, behavior, and words are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;identical to Allah’s. But Muhammad had help. Lucifer, just as Paul had&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;warned, transformed himself into an angel of light. Pretending to be Gabriel,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;he struck a bargain with the insecure and covetous Arab. In the exchange,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Muhammad was possessed by Lucifer’s most able demon. Working together,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Unholy Trinity established the religion of deceit, death, and damnation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Muhammad’s behavior was covetous, ruthless, and murderous to be sure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yet attributing this debauchery to deity was his most vile act. Men have plundered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;before. Men have robbed before. Men have murdered before. But no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“god” has ever said: “‘God’ drove the unbelievers back in fury, and they gained no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;advantage. Allah was sufficient to help the believers in battle. He made the People of the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Book descend from their homes, and He terrorized them, so that you killed some and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;made many captive. And He made you inherit their property, homes, wealth, and a country&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;you had not trodden under foot before.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And this was the result: Tabari VIII:35/Ishaq:464 “The Jews were made to come down,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“As they were being taken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;in small groups to the Prophet, they said to one another, ‘What do you think will be done&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to us?’ Someone said, ‘Do you not understand. On each occasion do you not see that the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;summoner never stops? He does not discharge anyone. And that those who are taken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;away do not come back. By God, it is death!’ The affair continued until the Messenger of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allah had finished with them all.” If 900 men and boys were dragged out of their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;imprisonment in “batches” and led into the central market square of Medina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to be beheaded in front of Muhammad, the “affair” would have lasted eight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to ten hours. Imagine a “prophet” perverted enough to watch until he had&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“finished with them all.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Psychologists call this a “gallows laugh.” It’s a common&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;manifestation of extreme stress. So while the reaction of the Jewish woman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;is excused, the behavior of the Muslim men is not. They were forcing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Qurayza women to watch as they severed the heads of their fathers, husbands,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;brothers, and sons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why lots, you may be wondering?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Casting lots is a gambling game, one expressly forbidden by Islam. The&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reason is two fold. First, the religion of Islam was a joke to these fellows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;They simply used it as a tool to justify their disgusting behavior. The first&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Muslims were less religious than Hitler’s S.S. Second, the mercenaries needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a picking order in which to draft Jewish homes, property, businesses, women,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and children. Muhammad didn’t want them squabbling. Some sex slaves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;were prettier than others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tabari VIII:38 “The Prophet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;selected for himself from among the Jewish women of the Qurayza, Rayhanah bt. Amr. She&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;became his concubine. When he predeceased her, she was still in his possession. When&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Messenger of Allah took her as a captive, she showed herself averse to Islam and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;insisted on Judaism.” Imagine the horror of being the sex slave of the man who&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;had murdered your father and your brothers. Imagine being forced to have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sex with a man who had given your mother up to be raped and had sold your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sisters into slavery to buy swords so that he could torment others. It’s chilling—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;perversity on an unimaginable scale. Muhammad may well have been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the most vile human to have ever lived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ishaq:466 “Allah sent down [a Qur’an surah] concerning the Trench and Qurayza raid. The&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;account is found in the Confederates or Allied Troops. In it He mentions their trial and His&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;kindness to the Muslims. ‘Remember We sent a wind against the armies and they could&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not see. Allah sent this wind with his angels. Allah said, When they came at you from above&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and below, and when eyes grew wild and hearts reached your throats, you harbored doubts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;about Allah. Those in whose hearts is a disease said, ‘What Allah and His Messenger has&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;promised us is nothing but delusion.’’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Before I comment, let’s read on: Ishaq:467 “Allah addressed the believers and said,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘In Allah’s Apostle you have a fine example for anyone who hopes to be in the place where&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allah is.’” Ishaq:468 “Then Allah said, ‘Some of you have fulfilled your vow to Me by dying;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;you have finished your work and returned to Me like those who sought martyrdom in prior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;battles. And some of you are still waiting to capitalize on Allah’s promise of martyrdom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You do not hesitate in your religion and never doubt.’” Ishaq:468 “Allah brought down the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;People of the Scripture Book. I forced the Qurayza from their homes and cast terror into&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;their hearts. Some you slew, and some you took captive. You killed their men and enslaved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;their women and children. And I caused you to inherit their land, their dwellings, and their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;property. Allah can do all things.’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ishaq:468 “Gabriel came to the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Apostle when Sa’d was taken. He visited him in the middle of the night wearing an embroidered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;turban and said, ‘O Muhammad, who is this dead man for whom the doors of heaven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;have been opened and at whom the throne shook?’” Since Gabriel is “credited” with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;revealing the Qur’an to Muhammad, it’s odd that he would need to ask the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“messenger” about something that happened in heaven. And Sa’d was a thug,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a man who loved to kill. He was a racist and a thief. If these behaviors rock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allah’s throne, the Islamic god is a rather nasty fellow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ishaq:468 “Sa’d was a fat man but those who carried his funeral bier said that they had&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;never carried a lighter one. Muhammad said, ‘He had angelic pallbearers because the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;angels rejoiced when Sa’d’s spirit shook Allah’s throne.’” Ishaq:469 “An Ansar recited this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;poem: ‘The throne of Allah shook for only one man: Sa’d the brave and bold, a glorious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;leader, a knight ever ready. Stepping into the battle, he cut heads to pieces.” Saint Sa’d,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a genuine Muslim hero. Ishaq:469 “The Apostle said, ‘Every wailing woman lies except&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;those who wept for Sa’d.’” Tabari VIII:40 “Aisha, the Mother of the Faithful, was asked, ‘How&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;did the Messenger of God behave?’ She replied, ‘His eye did not weep for anyone.’” Der&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;prophet and der fuhrer were cut from the same cloth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ishaq:469 “On the day the Qurayza were slain, one Muslim was martyred. A stone was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;thrown on him and it inflicted a shattering wound. The Apostle said, ‘He will have the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reward of two martyrs.’” In Islam you get bonus points for killing, robbing, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;enslaving Jews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114863243359961806?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114863243359961806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114863243359961806' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114863243359961806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114863243359961806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/more-of-allahs-love.html' title='More of Allah&apos;s love'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114861352643152639</id><published>2006-05-25T19:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-27T01:40:31.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just when you thought they couldn't get any dumber</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/1600/icecream.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/320/icecream.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Photos and text courtesy of &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.com"&gt;Jihadwatch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't going to post today. No, I was going to do some algebra and work on publishing my book. That is what I intended to do when my body first found its home on my chair in front of the Computer. Silly, silly me. I log into internet explorer to begin my online course work. Jihad watch is my homepage. Now I had seen this BK Cone thing before, but curiosity drove my eyes doward. Woe is me! Therein I read, a poor man was offended.&lt;br /&gt;Now for the sake of my readers, I will not name the man who is the source of all this absurdity. We will define him as the Moron. He is a British Muslim. I'm sure he cant wait to establish that wonderful tolerant Caliphlate that scholars always tell us of. Here are his quotes, with my commentary inbetween. Each quote must have commentary, you see, because such stupidity must be examined, lest it overcome you with its asinine quality. My commentary, sorely needed, is in italics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It begins thus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Enlightenment happened at half past 12 a.m. in Burger King, Park Royal. I  had ordered my food, and a French guy got talking to me and asked, “Are you  Muslim?” He said, “Look at this,” and he showed me the cone. I saw it and I  thought, “Wow,” like anyone would. He said, “Turn it around.”  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Unfortunantley for our moronic friend this is the only Enlightenment he will ever have. Now, read that paragraph again. Sit and ponder the inane moronic nature of the Moron's words. Yes, ponder. Reflect. Perhaps this will threaten your belief in human nature or God, or both. I know. It is painful. But sometimes the trth really does hurt. Dumb spoke to dumber and showed him the Allah Ice Cream. Dumber concurred with Dumb.&lt;br /&gt;Then they proceeded, instead of stepping in front of a bus or some other action which would benefit mankind, to spread thier idiocy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I was thinking of my stomach. I was hungry. I would have loved to eat an ice  cream. When I saw it, my mouth fell open. I dropped the ice cream. I canceled my  order. &lt;strong&gt;That was the defining moment of my life&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Keep in mind, while your intellect ponders the nature of the Moron's mind, that the moron is a Brit. He is supposed to be a higher form of his cousin Akmed in Iraq or Abdallah in Syria. These people are supposed to have the intelligence to vote and form a modern state.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The Burger King logo is there in Arabic. “Allah” is spelled exactly how it is  there, and the Burger King logo is where the ominah should be. Why, there is no  way it could be a coincidence. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? How does  it spin on something that is static? You cannot spin it around unless you have a  mechanical device. You spin it one direction, to the right, and it is offending  a billion people."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The stupidty could have stopped. At this point, it should have stopped. By God, is there no order left in the cosmos, because it did not stop! At this point, if the stupidty is threatening to overcome you, step away from the computer. If you chose to continue, stop and glance at the pictures at the beginning of this post. Examine the Arabic script on one side and compare it to the image of the ice cream. There are some similarities. But they are clearly no the same. This begs the next question. If you and I can see that, and we do not speak Arabic, what is keeping the Moron from knowing it? Perhaps he is just sensitive. Maybe he is a lesser man in some way which we cannot ever know. Next he proceeds to give us an account of the Mechnics of Swirling Ice Cream. Quite a feat. He offers some aesthic commentary. Well spoken from a member of a culture known for its great paintings. And we are supposed to believe his ancestors invented Algebra and not the Hindus.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I’m not talking about Muslims in the Park Royal vicinity, or in the U.K. I’m  talking about globally. Everyone who sees this is going to be offended. If you  put a different symbol on there, you’re offending Jews, Christians, Sikhs, or  Hindus. &lt;strong&gt;I am going to try my best in life, so that these people do not  operate in a single Muslim country again, so that we get an apology to every  single Muslim on this planet in their language, in their country, on a national  TV station: “Sorry. We, as an American company, are sorry. We didn’t mean to  offend you."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And naturally Islam has never offended the Jews. Why that mosque on the Temple Mount is nothing! It has never done anything to insult the Christians. Why the raiding of St. Peters bascillica was nothing! And the centuries of killing Sikhs was nothing! And I am sure they worked hard not to offend the Hindus. Why sixty million slaughtered is not offensive at all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;"What angers me most is that most people, once they have finished with it,  they look at it and say, “Nice cone. Nice design. Nice cone design.” They chuck  it away. That is disrespectful. Don’t throw it away. &lt;strong&gt;Keep it as  evidence. A reminder of what these people are doing every single day of our  lives&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We showed this to Muslim customers in Burger King and they were disgusted. We  went to the manager. “Is this true?” we asked. He said, “Yes, my brother. It is  true.” I spoke to two other Pakistani Muslim guys there and they said,  “&lt;strong&gt;We are sickened&lt;/strong&gt;.” They were cussing Burger King.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I feel humiliated. I want to humiliate the person who did this to an  extent that he never works again.&lt;/strong&gt; I’m going to make him see that it was  the biggest mistake in his life. I want to meet the guy. I want to ask the guy,  “What does this mean to you?” then never see his face again."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I am beginning to feel like the stupidity oozing from those words is so highly offensive to a reasonable man that this Moron should apologize. This man should do penance. This man, nay, this Higher Bacteria, is one day going to breed. This is the true humilation, the blot upon all man. I will have to ask the Almighty when I get the chance, "Lord, I realize your wisdom is infinite. I beseech thee, why hath you turned thy face from the accursed foolery of that Son of Ishmael? Why, Lord my God, hath you created a Bach, but then allowed this thing to go forth out of the womb? o lord God! What hath makind wrought to deserve such a scourge upon the mind?"  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"In a way, I’m glad he did this to me. It has opened my eyes. The fear of God,  the love of God, the love of not letting anyone disrespect God. Even though it  means nothing to some people and may mean nothing to some Muslims in this  country, &lt;strong&gt;this is my jihad&lt;/strong&gt;. I’m not going to rest until I find  the person who is responsible. &lt;strong&gt;I’m going to bring this country  down"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Naturally Allah is all about Love. Why wasn't his prophet a loving man?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"The Infidels will taste the torment of Hell. So when you meet them in battle do not retreat,&lt;br /&gt;for all who turn away from fighting will bring the wrath of Allah on themselves and their&lt;br /&gt;abode will be Hell. It was not you who killed them, but Allah who did so. You did not throw&lt;br /&gt;what you threw. Allah did to bring out the best in the faithful.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our terror came unto them while they slept."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What a loving act. Why terror, I am sure, is better than sleep. After all, how can one experience the love of Allah while asleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;More of Allah's love:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive) and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush.  But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor due, then leave their way.  Lo!  Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (SUrah 9, Ayats 5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;     O ye who believe!  Choose not for friends People of the Book and of the disbelievers.  But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers. (5.57)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   O ye who believe!  Take not the Jews and Christians for friends.  They are friends one to another.  He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them.  Lo!  Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (5.51)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you are killed or die in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they (rich infidels) amass." (Sura 3:157)&lt;/blockquote&gt; Doesn't this make you see the love of Allah? The love of Allah, what a great thing. Jihad is only love. I am sure the Moron, the Higher Bacteria, is really just reaching out in a loving way. The points of swords and barrells of guns; those are just signs of love. Us silly westerners have to come to appreciate the love of Allah. Is not the love of allah seeping forth in warmth from the computer screen? Is not that love so great that you would wish for your children to become Muslims so that they to may give and take in the wonderful, blissful love of Allah? Is not that radiance so great that you wish to waltz into a mosque and bask in the loving words of an Imam? In fact allah has so much love, that I am sure we will get much more of it. Allah's love is simply uncontainable.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More on Allah's lovingkindess later.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;************************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Folks, we know the world is in dire straights. We know Islam is taking over the world(well after this I am sure many are far less afraid of the enemy). We might as well have a good laugh at them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114861352643152639?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114861352643152639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114861352643152639' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114861352643152639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114861352643152639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/just-when-you-thought-they-couldnt-get.html' title='Just when you thought they couldn&apos;t get any dumber'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114848406070828931</id><published>2006-05-24T08:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-24T15:36:05.320-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Islamo-Hitler Gets A New Toy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/1600/050917_IranQA_wide.hlarge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/320/050917_IranQA_wide.hlarge.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/1600/insult002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5238/2190/320/insult002.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't the peaceful nature of Islam simply wonderful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islamo-Hitler in Iran has just announced that he has a new weapon, a missile with a longer range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hitler monkey has threatened war over and over again. Who else has had it with his antics? Who else is tired of the monkey's screeching and occasional flinging of poop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily Hitler version two does not have all of his bugs worked out.  Hitler version one never worked very well, so it is puzzling why a version two was necessary. It is clear to me, and anyone else with a brain, that the monkey Hitler is a bit too eager to harass the visitors to the zoo. Claiming to see lights from Allah at the U.N. is bad enough. Threatening to destroy us is far worse. Demanding the Jews be destroyed, terrible. Forcing them to wear a star badge- now the Htiler monkey is flinging too much poo. (This badge of course has a long Islamc history, stretching back to the Caliphs) But no matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all knew Hitler would be punished somehow, but to go from leader of Germany to monkey Hitler in a few rebirths- this is bad karma. Better he have the fate depicted in Little Nicky. We were all expecting jackboots and gray uniforms and the like, but instead we get this. This is simply disappointing. I object! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hitler monkey continues to bare his teeth, spit and spew excrement on the poor visitiors to the zoo. Little does he know he will soon be put down.  Poor, poor little monkey. It only remains for the zoo-keepers to get their act together and take the necessary steps. Bad enough the monkey soils his own cage, but his mess is spreading to others. We must put him out of business, lest the other animals in the zoo learn from his example.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114848406070828931?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114848406070828931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114848406070828931' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114848406070828931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114848406070828931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/islamo-hitler-gets-new-toy.html' title='Islamo-Hitler Gets A New Toy'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114840336584991068</id><published>2006-05-23T09:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-24T11:59:33.840-07:00</updated><title type='text'>If Only the Brave Senate Would Heed This........</title><content type='html'>This is an article which I wrote and never did anything with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;There are many woes which we have to deal with in these complex times. The influx of illegal immigrants, most from Mexico, are one such woe. Illegal immigration is inevitable under the circumstances that prevail along the border. There is simple economic logic for those coming to our border: our jobs pay well compared to those jobs available at home. They break the law to get here; emboldened by an effeminate block of leaders incapable of tough decisions, preferring cheap labor to a secure nation. The illegal is running not only because of economics, but from corruption of his government in Mexico. In most places along our southern Border no sign of a physical barrier actually exists. So what is to keep the 50% of Mexicans wishing to live and work here from flooding across the border and burying our nation in a sea of disaffected humanity?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The answer to this rhetorical question is obviously nothing from Mexico or the United States. One of the basic motivations of the American political leadership in seeing the teeming millions come across the border is related to receiving these illegal immigrants votes. This crass political consideration used to be only true of the democrats. But years of Republican leadership has made no difference. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The Mexican Government has two basic considerations:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;1)&lt;a href="http://www.mexica-movement.org"&gt;La Reconquista&lt;/a&gt;- to "Reconquer" lost lands (actually it was the Spanish who conquered it, and the Mexicans who sold it and never defended it)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;2)To avoid revolution by their own people by exporting as many able-bodied and poor unemployed men as possible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Our companies,  amoral as ever, continue to hire illegals instead of American workers. Many have come to accept this problem and see neither it nor the solution. There has been a little progress on this issue on our side of the border. States of emergency have been declared. The pro-security movement is having affect. But these are only steps toward the issues resolution. But what has brought this on? We will have to look back to the Mexican-American War. This was war which started under a cloud of suspicion. Many claim it was staged. There was an incident along the Rio Grande and the war was on. Mexico had the better army; professional, motivated and fighting on its own ground against the small ragtag American units. Nonetheless, there were many battles and America won everyone. Eventually our army fought to a stalemate with its supplies running low. The commanders did what every good&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;commander does in a war; outflank the stalemate, this one by landing at Veracruz and then moving to take Mexico City.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Concurrently to this a revolt erupted in Northern California and American columns marched unopposed into this area and New Mexico/Arizona. Victory should have come at this point. But for an agonizing time it did not. Deep in Mexico American troops were outnumbered and things got very ugly, with guerillas harassing our long supply routes. This is similar to the story we hear when reading of great insurgencies and their victories. Mexican politicians even refused to negotiate. But then came a novel offer: we will pay you for the land we just conquered. This type of crisis has led many nations into greatness. Not so Mexico. It took the $15 million and refused to fight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Interestingly enough, less Mexicans lived there when it was Mexican territorty than they did when it became part of the states. The facts are not on the side of those calling of Reconquista. But let that not trouble those who wish to tread down the Nazi path with a different shade of skin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;America took a desert and turned it into a paradise, a place worth living in and a place where one could have fair shake at life. Hence, large numbers of Mexican-Americans settled and now make up a great and productive portion of society. Mexico, though blessed with resources, has not wavered fro&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;its path of kleptocracy. Instead, it pins its hopes on seizing the land of the Southwest through mass-migration. You see, according to a group known as "&lt;a href="http://www.aztlan.net"&gt;The Race&lt;/a&gt;", there was once an ancient land inhabited by a superior people, now unjustly occupied by an inferior race. Now this group, the race, surely you say, is to be shut down, or watched closely. Surely this new Nazi group cannot continue. Nazi group? Hardly, it is "La Raza" with one of its former members serving as our Attorney General.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But I do not believe, if proper steps are taken, this aim of Reconquista will succeed. For&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;people to accept a new slavery under the Mexican oligarchs seems insane. And it is. La Reconquista would be an act of plunging back into poverty, dirt roads and lessened rights. La Raza's myths of Aztlan must be exposed to a greater audience as myths. The danger of such beliefs, so similar to those held by our great friend Herr Hitler must be sent out to the general public. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The principle cost of illegal immigrations is economic, with some notable social aspects. Mexico suffers as well, as it will never change its ways as long as we allow it to dump its poor on us. The true humanitarian thing we can do for the nation of Mexico it to strengthen our border with her, so that a change is forced upon Mexico, leading to greater prosperity there. What is by far the worst policy is to coddle the lawbreaking illegals, to encourage such migration, and to let the criminal exploiters on both sides of the Rio to get away with it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;But the border with Mexico has a log history of being insecure. For many years it has been silent. There were great stretches of time when nothing would be seen there except the occasion passing of caravans north to south and south to north. But this calm has been punctuated by black periods of great violence. The immigration of Mexicans north did not being in earnest until Americans headed west and settled, brining economic boom which attracted Mexicans, Irishmen, and Chinese alike. The first black period of our border would be prior to World War One when America came within a few steps of a a Second Mexican-American War with the Huerta Government. Lawless bands had taken hold on the border, the most famous of which was Pancho Villa's. Troops were dispatched to deal with him and others, although Villia was never caught. These troops eventually left for Europe, but came back after the war; staying until Germany found it again necessary to commit insanities. As World War Two came the country was mobilized. Most able-bodied farm workers were off to war but America could not travel. So a guest worker program began; Mexico could send a few hundred thousand poor men to do farm work and America could therefore build its massive war machine to crush the Axis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;This worked only because of a calmer border. Later, and due to another myriad of reasons, the narcotics trade began in earnest. With General Eisenhower in office; a man of action and resolution unseen in today's politics, this situation was not continued. There was a crackdown: Operation Wetback, to deport and flush out the illegal immigrants. It worked, but as security lessened the illegals returned. In the 1960s, the Guest Worker Program that had been so successful in the Second World War(with a secure border) was killed. Combined with a sweeping liberalization of immigration laws and policy in general, this period set the stage for the current situation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The truth of our economic situation must be set straight. Despite growth, and tax cuts, our economy is in terrible straits. Our growth is downright sluggish compared to the rising nations. Illegal immigration can now be counted with outsourcing as bringing about the encircling and killing of the middle class. These illegals exacerbate the economic problem of this increasingly divide and indecisive nation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;How?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="DE"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Contrary to a great number of myths, illegal immigrants from Mexico contribute next to nothing to our economy and send the loin's share home to their families in Mexico.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Most pay no taxes, not even payroll taxes, as they are paid in cash. Many become victims of crime because of thier cash heavy income. Most receive healthcare and other benefits at government expense. This system of the nanny state; the string of entitlements, shaky to begin with, it about to be tipped by this forcer of illegal immigration. The benefits of being a citizen seem to have gone to all, even non-citizens. Then why have citizenship at all? If billions are spent on those go have made no attempt to integrate, then why would these non-integrated individuals try. What is in it for them? Be aware, for the Left has a talent for division and derision. It has made good with this tactic before. Do not put it past them to speak of "La Reconquista“ as good. Give them the rope and they will hang us with it. Even while spitting upon Catholic values and the patriotism of many Hispanic Americans they already claim to "represent", the oppressed. They would gladly preach to illegals and new Americans about our real or foggily perceived past wrongs. A communist, infected and racist Fifth Column could arise with the intent to carry out a splitting of America could face such a crisis in the future and its ill-affect will not just touch one color of our people. Serious racial and social tensions are developing in the Southwest. This coming tension will bring to fruition the consequences of a pretentious leadership which has put the protection of America behind that of their fear. They fear a short term disruption of the economy and the word "racist" that many would throw their way. This illegal immigration hurts everyone. It hurts the Americans put out of work, regardless of their skin color. Economic stagnation and invisible wage ceilings have no preference either. It hurts the illegal immigrant who could very well be fired before his pay comes due. It hurts their communities who are isolated and fall victim to a substantial criminal element. It also keeps people with a different language and culture was a permanent underclass. Who says slavery was abolished?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And thanks to groups like La Raza it threatens the social fabric itself. It threatens the weakest sectors of the American economy: education and healthcare. It also creates a net loss. We will pay dearly in the long run it something is not done. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  lang="DE" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Of all the solutions thrown about; deportation, amnesty, or a change in law, none will matter without a secure border. Without it all else fails to solve the actual problem: the massive influx of people sent as a gracious gift from our good kleptocratic neighbors to the south. The Southern border, with its great lawlessness and influx of crossings, must be treated as defensive zone. A fence, national guard, a forward trench to prevent crossing, overflights by helicopter and whatever assets are available, an increased national border patrol, deputized milita units and increased surveillance technology must all be used to fend off the pell mell rush of humanity across it. Only then will those young men, full of spirit enough to seek opportunity so far from home, turn round and demand opportunity from their own government. Then we can have a southern neighbor with something to export&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;other than poverty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114840336584991068?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114840336584991068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114840336584991068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114840336584991068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114840336584991068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/if-only-brave-senate-would-heed-this.html' title='If Only the Brave Senate Would Heed This........'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114828215901983518</id><published>2006-05-22T00:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-22T13:49:19.963-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chavez</title><content type='html'>How long until America unleashes the dogs of war to eradicate the Marxist infestation of Hugo Chavez?

It matters not whether the said immigrants are from the middle east, asia, or mexico; they all become burdens once they hit our shores. Our immigration system, currently designed, benefits no one, not even the immigrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immigration is only good if it is restrained, productive, and assimilative. Today in America immigration is neither.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, there is a proliferation within the United States of groups representing "immigrants" as a special class. Some groups also trumpet the immigrants' culture as superior. This of course is the result of Multiculturalism and egalitarianism. The immigrant has no desire to become American, and if they do, what is to push them? Many illegal immigrants have more rights than Americans. A case in point would be the granting of in-state tuition to studnts whose parents are illegal. The also receive de-facto free medical care, at tax-payer expense.  Immigrant pressure groups also operate within America, made of recent immigrants or newly minted self-hating Americans. La Raza, Mecha, and CAIR would be examples of these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, many cities are now becoming wholly immmigrant. This is a real danger of mass migration. Even our legal immigration system is a mass migration system. Illegal immigration is only one leg of the terrible beast which is immigration in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, the policy of "Asylum" is being used by Muslims(and was used by the 9-11 Hijackers) to immigrate into America. The Gothic Peoples who overran the Roman Empire entered starving, and begged to be let into the Roman lands. Once they were in they eventually sacked Rome. A clear enough lesson for men with eyes who can see and men with ears who can hear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, baby-chain immigration allows anyone, regardless of loyalty, to simply waltz in and have a baby. That baby is an American. A good policy when the nation had a great sweeping plain to be settled; bad policy today. The child does not even have to have an American parent. This is insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifth, money sent home by illegals never has to go into the American system. It does not beneift the consumer economy. Nor is the true cost of the immigrant to the American system ever paid-in-full by taxes upon their labor. Most will never pay the income tax, and for those without false social security numbers, they pay no tax at all to the federal government they suck dry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixth, entire industries, such as the roofing industry, are swarmed by illegals and taken over. This is undercutting our young and uneducated American workforce and will lead to higher unemployment and welfare enrollments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seventh, Quotas have been removed from undeveloped, diseased and utterly backward foreign nations. Even nations, such as Egypt, who clearly hate the United States, are considered equally with, lets say, a Sweden. This should be the end of the insanity. But no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight, a horde of poor is comming to our shores. A horde of unskilled has already arrived. These workers are the majority of immigrants, as opposed to the wealthy and skilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ninth, both borders are largely unguarded. While 6k troops are a good start; they are not enough to cover the Southern border alone. The Northern border is by no means safe. Let us not forget the terrorist groups and terrorist sponsors which find a warm home in waste of Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, large portions of the United states, such as L.A. and Southern Texas, are practically under a reign of terror imposed by immigrant criminal groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the problems with immigration. Any true "Immigration Reform" would solve them. We are long past needing bandaids. This is no scrape, but a terminal disease requiring a major operation ...............&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114782912567113889?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114782912567113889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114782912567113889' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114782912567113889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114782912567113889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/why-immigration-is-problem.html' title='Why Immigration is a Problem'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114764827428573116</id><published>2006-05-14T16:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-18T09:41:14.016-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Democratic plan for '06</title><content type='html'>For the benefit of those who think that no Democrat plan for '06 exists:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple ten-point plan:&lt;br /&gt;1.Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes&lt;br /&gt;2.A heavy progressive or graduated income tax&lt;br /&gt;3.Abolition to all right of inheritence&lt;br /&gt;4.Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels&lt;br /&gt;5.Centralization of credit in the hands of the state&lt;br /&gt;6.Centralization of all means of transport and communication in the hands of the state&lt;br /&gt;7.Extension of factories and insturments of production owned by the state&lt;br /&gt;8.Equal liability of all labor.

Pakistan's normative Islam is Muhammadeanism-lite. As such it cannot completely disavow the genocidal jihadist. Its leaders, at least in public, have said that such violence has "a root cause". What root cause is this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why of course, the Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is said by Pakistani officals, and other Islamics, that the Untied states is incurring the wrath of Indonesians, Uzbeks, European converts, and all Muslims generally because we "favor" Israel. I don't know how a nation shows this "favoring", but it certainly does not show it by demanding a nation evacuate a portion of its territory such as the United States demands of Israel. The United States does have relations with Israel, as any sovereign nation would get. By that yardstick the United States could be accused of favoring the Soviet Union during the Cold War.&lt;br /&gt;(Who we had relations with, including annual grain exports, yet demanded they stop interfering in other nations).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel does receive masses of foreign aid. But so does Egypt, an avowed "Arab nationalist" state which has brutally suppressed the Copts. So does the U.A.E. which does not even allow a Jew to step foot on its shore. The United States clearly does not favor Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Root cause of Islamic terror is Muhammad and the massive parts of his preaching which lead to violence and desolation. This is what needs to be dealt with by Muslims, not Israel. If Israel disappeared tomorrow the Jihadis wolud just use the newly cleanesed "judenfrei" Palestine as a base for operations against Europe. The Muslim would find other reasons to try to kill us. It is, unfortunately, all he knows how to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pakistani President shows the Islamic rot which has hold of even the moderate Muslim when he appeals to his nations for peace on the basis that, "We are all Muslims".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The large minority of Christians in Pakistan must simply be an unfortunate fact.&lt;br /&gt;****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently Pakistani forces in the Western Reigons are fighting Al-Qaeda and Taliban in what amounts to a low-intensity coflict, or guerilla war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, instead of invading the lawless and medieval reigion, is depending upon the Pakistani military to hold down the enemy. Now the problem here is that Pakistan will not eradicate these lawless tribes. If it did so, or began to do so, international outcry would erupt. Pakistan could also rupture into many nations, with each of its ethnic groups vying for control. Of course the last scenario of a "Pakistan Imploded" is inevitable. We must thank the British once again for their well-known pension for drawing the borders of nations with no cocern about how many different warring factions will be forced into one country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakistan is dispensing American dollars to the tribesmen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats right folks, your tax-dollars, fed to Al-Qadea sympathisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for punishing those responsible. I guess after Pearl Harbor America should have dispensed aid the Japan. After all, such violent attacks against sovereign nations must be caused by poverty and backwardness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foreign aid represents Socialism. It will no beter fix any of the real problems of Pakistan than the "Great Society" programs fixed any of America's social problems. It is as much as an "ally buying" program as pork-barrel is votte buying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since when did the Western Tribal Reigions become the 51st state? Thats right, attack America and we will pay you. Sounds a bit like the maifa, or worse yet dhimmitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the linchpin of America's current anti-Terror strategy, right in the heart of the enrmies territory. These are those crucial "Supplemental Spending" dollars at work. Perhaps it would be better(certainly more honest) to dispense with all the modern gobbley-gook about foreign aid, supplementals, poverty, and the like-and just alot them a special protion of the budget and call it TRIBUTE..........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114686078632763694?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114686078632763694/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114686078632763694' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114686078632763694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114686078632763694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/05/more-on-pakistan.html' title='More on Pakistan'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114679837059493478</id><published>2006-05-04T19:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-04T20:06:10.606-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Solution to Welfare?</title><content type='html'>This is a bit unrelated to today's news.

Pakistan recently began training the first of its women pilots, and its leader is attempting to revise Islam and remove its worst elements. In other words it is in many ways what we like Iraq to be. The moderates, a true force indeed in Pakistan, are fighting against the retrograde tendency present in Islam. They are fighting in their own nation. A divide is appearing, wide and terrible, between those advocating the Life of Muhammad as a model, and those wishing to forget most of his bad deeds.

History is the story of man, often simply the rpa-sheet of the crimes of mankind. When one flips through the events that make up the story of mankind, the crimnal and sinful nature of man beocmes so clear that pessimism inevitably takes hold. A Gibbon said "history is nothing but the catalogue of crimes, misdeeds...." A great truth uttered by a great man. America does not know where it came from,not in the least, and therefore does not know where it is going. This is a generalization of mine based on experience and I see it reinforced constantly. Take as it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if we do not know where we came from then how on earth are we to know where our enemies, friends and neutrals in the world came from? How can we understand India's history without knowing our own? We cannot. Therefore we as Americans cannot possibly know why India and Pakistan hate one another.  How can we claim rspect for another culure, but disrespect our own? These are all problems which education will have to solve. But it will not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who can we learn from in history? Our enemies, be they in China or Iraq, know well their own history. As societies steeped in tradition, often pseudo-tribal or tribal, it is passed down from father to son, from imam to individual, from commisar to citizen. We have no such imparting of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only use this as an exapmle of how history is viewed in other societies, its importance, and why we must ourselves launch into a study of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is particularlly rooted in history. The very nature of Islam, dependant on the immulation of Muhammad, leads it toward the historical. This history breeds rage, whether it be the Mythical golden age, the formerly dhimmidied Jews who have relciamed their land, the depredations suffered in the colonial period, or the counter-attack known as the Crsudaes. So our enemies fight not so much for the now but for the legacy of their forefathrs in Islam. They march singing praised of Muhammad, Abu Bakr, Khalid, Nur-al-Din, Saldian, and the like. When you look to the history of Islam, you see a nearly ubroken series of conqusts. You might think them invincibel. The question is, why did'nt Islam succeed in conquering the world? Its warriors fly off to death with grins on thier faces? Thry fear nothing, fight well and take no pity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer: The Mongols.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is thhe point was getting to with all of my talk of history. Hugulau Khan was a Mongol warrior. He was a relative of Ghengis Khan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He used terror to win his battles. He attacked the Caliph and destroyed Baghdad. The irrigation system was torn up. He killed nearly the entire population, sparing only the Nestorian Christians. At least 800,000 were put to death. The Caliph was stuffed in a sack and trampled over with horses. The Mosques were converted to stables, the imams put to the sword along with all the city's notables, the Korans were tossed into the Eurphrates. Thus Iraq was conquered. America could learn much from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice:&lt;br /&gt;-No promises of democracy&lt;br /&gt;-no promise of reconstruction&lt;br /&gt;-no Mongols put on trial for shooting the enemy&lt;br /&gt;-no mercy given to muslims, not even their children&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these depraved acts served to terrorise the Muslims into submission to an infidel army. They never rose against him. In fact there was no resistance. Certainly no years long guerilla war. No Islamic observances such as beheading. Terror is such a dirty word, with all of its non-Western connotations of cowardice. Bush has used 'Terror" as a word to incite outrage. In fact, to incite that Western European knightly notion of chivalry. That chivalry which died a century ago, and in truth never applied to any culture but the European. Terrorism is the best tactic the enemy can use against us. Thus far it has worked and the saying goes that you cannot argue with results. It has worked primarily because those who commit the acts have no fear that their families mght be vaporized, or thier village burt down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Cold War there was talk of a 'Missile Gap". In this War Against Islam there is a 'Terror Gap' which our leaders must allow our military to close. Otherwise, the Zarqawis of the world will multiply, and there will be no end in sight to the bloodshed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114595673218190398?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114595673218190398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114595673218190398' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114595673218190398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114595673218190398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/04/america-must-recover-sense-of-history.html' title=''/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114506160216550158</id><published>2006-04-14T16:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-15T14:15:30.663-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Who really owned the Southwestern U.S.? Mexico? America? Neither?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am afraid neither. With the recent protests, and the typical non-testicular response to them, the propaganda of the Hispano-Fascist has been allowed to morph into something of a sacred cow. According to this agitation propaganda, Mexico is the 'rightful' owner of the American southwest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a gigantic falsehood perpetrated on the United States for and by those who would destroy the United States. Fewer than 400,000 Mexicans lived in the Southwest! Before the evil gringo came, with his evil-exploitave gringo system, evil gringo technology, and apparently evil gringo prosperity- the Southwest was little more than an arid waste. Mexican citizens had to be paid to live there. Therefore, it was not Mexican territory. It was only claimed by Mexico, but never part of its territroy. Claiming it is 'stolen' land is the height of uneducated drivel and stupidity. It would be like America claiming the Sahara desert and then acting shocked when another nation seized it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are the Mexicans of today natives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also a gigantic lie, or the worst order, made more terrible by the fact that the Mexican government waged a voracious war against Indians every bit as ferocious as that of the Whites. Most are not natives, any more than say, I could be considered Polish. Mexico has also never stopped killing natives. The brutal war against the Maya has continued on and off for hundred of years. Most Mexicans are at least part Spanish.  So lets not make this about racial thoery, lest that percious thoery be cast into the light of truth and dissolve thereby. This ancestoral fact could be proven by an honest genological study. So this race theory, despite its gradation in color, is every bit as stupid as the Aryan one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was Texas invaded and taken over by Whites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No! This is a terrible legacy of racism. The white texans and Mexicans fought the dictator Santa Anna. He was a hated tyrant. Tyranny is color blind. Nearly half of the people who fought a the Alamo were Mexican. But this was removed from history by white racists. Now, with the rise of anti-white racism, that truth is also suppressed. Thus America is stuck in a limbo; between the injustice of the past and the compounding injustice coming in the future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114506160216550158?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114506160216550158/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114506160216550158' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114506160216550158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114506160216550158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/04/who-really-owned-southwestern-u.html' title=''/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114380794288817886</id><published>2006-03-31T04:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-04-14T16:39:32.743-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Children..........</title><content type='html'>The american psyche seems forever lost in the irrevocable state of adult childishness.

Our politics are weak. Our religion is weak. Our families are weak. Our personalities are weak.&lt;br /&gt;Weakness.&lt;br /&gt;We as a people apparently like being lied to by our politicians, because each time we get a chance we elect the same pack of criminals. If one of the packs of criminals is thrown out of office, we elect them after tiring of the currently-in-power pack of criminals. The port deal just reinforces my convictions of this. This is weakness. We are afraid of the truth. America wake up! This is not an episode of a show on T.V. This is not a newsflash which may pull on your pity but never affect you. This thing we are in is a war and if we do not win it this generation it will continue. The next generation will gt it worse. It will not stop until millions of Muslims lay butchered at the hands of one of the nations under attack by them. Ask yourself, if democracy will not work for the Islamic world what will? Invasions? Assassinations? Perhaps decimation? But who is to blame for the pathetic war effort? The people. Look in the mirror. For us to acheive victory we must fix our weakness. This, like all of our other ills, is internal. We must fix our weakness and then clean house of these politicians. Then we might have a chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our extenal issues are multiplying and they will not be solved easily. The Neitzschite American is coming up against the Islamist. Who will win? In the short run the bets might be on us, the all-powerful Americans. But unless something in the soul of the nation changes, we face defeat.&lt;br /&gt;A few prayers for those in harm's way would not hurt at all. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21639412-114159458540872475?l=brandontstanley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/feeds/114159458540872475/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21639412&amp;postID=114159458540872475' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114159458540872475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21639412/posts/default/114159458540872475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandontstanley.blogspot.com/2006/03/weakness-of-nation.html' title='The Weakness of the Nation'/><author><name>Brandon_T_Stanley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21639412.post-114036837823101592</id><published>2006-02-19T08:13:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-19T08:59:23.263-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More Snipets of the Gospel of Death</title><content type='html'>“My message to the hated Jews: There is no God but Allah,” Majala says. “We will hunt you everywhere, when you wake and when you sleep. We are a blood-drinking people and we know that there is no better blood than Jewish blood." “We will not leave you alone until we quench ourselves with your blood and we will quench the thirst of our children with your blood. We will not rest until you leave the lands of the Muslims.” Rajab, the second terrorist, says: “By the life of Allah, we will destroy you. We will blow you up. We will take our revenge on you. We will purify our land of you, pigs, who have defiled our land. By the life of Allah, we will take our vengeance. We are carrying out this operation as harsh revenge against the sons of monkeys and pigs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two questions arise from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could anyone think that such Islamic madness arises from a real cause?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, for any Christian who happens to read this. Why are you still waiting for the anti-Christ? Is this not the greatest form of evil known to man, to do such acts and claim it was from god?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not know, but yet there is still a "peace process".

But he missed the key points. We might be winning the war on paper as long as American troops are in the middle of the country playing wack-a-mole with the enemy. We might be winning on paper but a simple fact is that once those troops leave all hell will break loose. Muqtada al- Sadr was not destroyed when he could have been; instead our policy seems to be to "politicize" the Islamist. As if one's intention to establish Islamic law and wage jihad will be made less onerous by the means by which you position yourself to do so. Iran is continually infiltrating and the cleric, Ayatollah al-Sistani has declined Iraqi citizenship and still remains the spiritual head of the Shities of Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democratization may succeed in the Middle East, but with the current weak-hearted policy nothing but tears will be our inheritance for this outpouring of blood and treasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the true problem with Islamic society? Or is it the Arabs who are ill? Which is it? The question ill be of this nature: Did Islam create Arab culture or did Arab culture create Islam?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Islam, with its notions and practices, wipes out all that comes before. The problems and injustices rampant in Islamic nations do not have temporal causes or political ones; indeed they are spiritual sicknesses. And it is a sickness that is not contained, but is growing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas was elected in the "Palestinian" territories and yet no one seems to see. Democracy brought about the theocracy in Iran. The current Iranian President was elected. Democracy will solve the regions problems. If Egypt and Saudi Arabia became democractic then they would become Islamic states. Most likely they would force some kind of Union. So we can easily see a scenario of America setting up Islamist governments in Cairo, Gaza(already done), Iran (thank you Carter), Iraq (yet to be done), and Saudi Arabia(already Islamist, but it likes to play both sides and hold down the more radical elements).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These governments by necessity will be anti-American. Why? It is simple: we are unbelievers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush made other foolish claims. He basically called upon the Iranian people to rise up against their government. This would be welcome. But what do we really know about public opinion in Iran? Nothing. But I will go out on a limb and say this:for lack of intelligence on the matter, we have to consider Iran to be well-represented by its leaders. Indeed we must bear in mind that a mass-revolution put in power the current regime and a massive Basij milita keeps it in power. Can we expect the average Iranian to be hostile to Islam and Islamic scripture, which surely does call for war against infidels? No. Who are those dissidents who stand against the government? A tiny portion of young students. They are probably taken no more seriously in Iran than is Cindy Sheean. I hope I am wrong, and would welcome a Second Iranian revolution to bring in a more pluralistic society, for the early Caliphs found their most ardent heretical sects coming from Persia. But we cannot make policy on such a hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We respect Iran," says Bush. Do we? What has Iran given the world since it became known as Iran? How did Persia suddenly become Iran? Why to please Hitler. Like most Islamic nations the Persians took the side of Hitler, seeing in him their closest idealogical ally. Iran basically means Aryan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must not stop here in our step back. The question now becomes, for those few invisible people who respect Iran, what has Persia done for he world since Islam marched against Rastum and the Sassanians were destroyed? Not much. The majority of the early Islamic philosophy and science was done by Persians. They were all eventually destroyed by the intolerance. All other non-orthodox creeds, while enjoying spates of toleration, were pushed to the margin of society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if nothing positive has come out of Islamic Persia then what has? The opposite, that of negative things. First, the Sultan known as the Kwarazmian Shah ruled his empire. He sacked a convoy of Gengis Khan. This provoked the Khan to send another envoy to clear the missunderstanding. He was killed. By this action the Mongolians were provoked, and they set upon his land and eventually took Baghdad in 1258. This led to the near death of Islam, for at the same time Crusades bit as them from the other side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier and some later, Persians joined and supported the genocidal invasions of India. Sixty million Hindus seem to have disappeared like so much dust in the wind during the years of Islamic rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later still, Safavid Persia battled the Ottomans, thereby creating a second front which distracted the Sultan from a complete conquest of Central and Eastern Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These things at last, Iran can claim to have done since it became officially Muslim........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush has committed America to a long war. This is sure to make the Chinese happy and no one else. No one has ever benefited from a protracted war. The horrifying prospect of fighting multiple guerilla wars across the middle east with one hand tied behind our back is very real. The war will be lost in this way; when one commits an army to occupation it has committed the army to do the work of governance over fighting, a work which invariably fails. Do we have the time, or manpower for such a strategy? Perhaps in this 'war on terror' were the last war in all of history, we could bide our time. But what about China? Does he really hold the belief that China intends peace and love for its neighbors? Does Bush really believe that the Chinese will forever remain less advanced than the us? What of our enemy? Does he seriously think that decades of fighting will not teach them better how to defeat us? He is gambling; gambling with the future of our position in the Western Pacific and gambling with our current policy. Does he believe we can take on at least 200 million Muslim jihadis and the Chinese Juggernaunt at the same time on two sides of the world? What about when they work together?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world does not need a police man; indeed the problems are too great. Instead the world needs a S.W.A.T. Team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war does not have to be long, provided we seek bold victories. It does not necessarily require horrible destruction either. But it requires courage, strategem and will. These things are sorely lacking in American politics. Bush is not "a man of steel" nor does he appear to be strong on the issue of the war or any other. When taken in the totality of history he seems to be juat another foolish man. Sure, he is better than those who believe we face no threat or those who wish to surrender. National survival is at stake. We need more strength from Mr. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV and Africa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIV is probably the only epidemic in history which in most cases is totally preventable. Are the American taxpayers to be made responsible, through Marxist redistribution of wealth to the poor nations of Africa, for the poor decisions of those African nations citizens? Mr. Bush thinks so. And apparently so does Congress. So we, America, with poor people flooding the nation all the time, wages frozen and jobs constantly lost to China; with GM being destroyed by unchecked Japanese competition, with an economic growth rate of 3% v.s. a projected 5% Japanese growth rate, a 6-8% Chinese growth rate, and a 10% Indian growth rate, are to be expected to enrich Africa? With the government seizing wealth more and more all the time to feed the avaricious appetites of our so called leaders, whose wealth will be left for his purposes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poverty and disease of the African nations is a symptom of barbarism and lack of civility; not a cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely this has to be the fault of colonialism. Or is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has it ever been different? How many pre-Colonial African polities can really be called nations? Carthage(destroyed by Rome), the allies of Carthage(absorbed by rome), Egypt(absorbed into other cultures), Nubia(absorbed by Egypt), Abyssinia (now Ethiopia, used to cover parts of Somalia as well), the Zulu(conquered by Britain), Ghana (dissolved in general), and Mali(survived to this day). Otherwise than these there existed a mass of Africa populated by great hordes of barbarous peoples, and I fear little has changed. Out of all these only one nation was truly colonized by a western nation; that of the Zulus. This and Iraq taken to together bring up the next point:&lt;br /&gt;Is America destined to clean up all the messes of Britain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Counter address&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This indeed is distressing. One can agree with the democrats general point: which is that Bush has bungled much. But did they offer anything in its place? No. In fact, instead of highlighting trade, or another issue on which they may take a correct position juxtaposed to the unlimited free-trade policy of Bush, they harp on foolish Marxist grounds. They spew platitudes and foolery. Democrats, please, find another way. There is a better way, but it is not paved with Red brick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foolishness of their position can be summed up by their claims of 'excess' profits. This is a nice phrase. It can appeal to those who either believe that such a thing exists, or to those unwashed masses who have grown fond of such red-tinged language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to what the media would like to tell you, a Corporation is not by itself evil or good. It is neither. Corporations are made up of individuals. They are not of themselves living. Yet, a moral judgment of evil is surely applied to the Corporation, an inanimate object. Whether the people in it are good or bad; patriotic or not, is a symptom of how society views these tendencies. I think they are neither crooked nor straight more so than the average cross sections of American society. The slew of scandal signifies not the base evil of corporations or capitalism, but the decline in moral standards among the American people. Once again it is a problem of spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when the State declares profits 'excess'. Why they seize them. Who tells the government what is excess or not? What about the government having excess profits from the business of governing? The people are accorded that right to dictate those terms, in theory. Unless the people are educated by said government and thus fooled into thinking the excess seizure of wealth by government is a just action. The democrats in large maure devised and manipulated our current tax code and educational system. Can they be again trusted to lead us? By no means. For whatever Bush's foolishness, the little good he has done has been blocked at every turn by this party. I say the government is reaping an excess profit pilfered, privateered and impiously pirated from the people. Who can be counted on to give us back our due of these excess profits in our time of higher energy prices and rising debt?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once government applies this standard and infringes on the rights of companies (a collection of individuals), it can freely do so to the citizens as well. What if you make 'excess' profits in your job? The inequity of the tax system levies such a standard. Each year billions and indeed trillions of dollars are seized and wasted by the government in a scheme known as 'withholding'. In addition it levies a tax on income, interest and dividends. So the individual, economically speaking, is very much oppressed already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What of the corporation? Does it really pay much less in taxes? Before the Corporation forms it must first be gathered. Capital, from the individual, must be earned. This means first a corporations' initial funding must survive the taxes levied by the government on individuals. Then, when gathered, the Corporation must comply with regulations, raising cost. These include who must be hired as judged by various affirmative action boards and hordes of lawyers waiting to sue at the slightest infringement of the 14th Amendment and its collary of legislation. As it hired individuals to work, it must next pay them according to whatever wage laws exist in the area. Then, it must pay for health coverage and other benefits which are required by law. Then Corporate taxes are levied and dividend and Capital gains taxes are taken.
