The Reality of Islam, Part VI

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: Christian Persecution, Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, , Persecution of Christians Is Now Pandemic, My Gazette: Christian Heresy, and

As the years go by it boggles my mind at these nitwit leftists and their media catspaws screaming about Islamophobia.  Let's try and get this once and for all.  There's no such thing as Islamophobia, nor is it possible to be Islamophobic.  Why? Because a phobia is a mental disorder and an unnatural fear, and we have almost 1500 years of vile Islamic practices to justify being afraid.  Real fear, legitimate fear, historically foundational fear, and that's not imaginary, nor is it a mental disorder, because their vile actions are going on right before our eyes now.  How much violence must we behold before we grasp just  how dangerous Muslims are?

Islam isn't a religion.  It's a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion.  History and current events demonstrates the truth of that.  Crime, murder, rape, kidnapping, corruption of the rule of law, and violence is rampant throughout the world where Muslims migrate, and most of Europe's leaders are covering it up, and worse yet, they're persecuting and prosecuting those who stand up to all this.  Islamized Netherlands: Pegida Leader Edwin Wagensveld Sentenced for Comparing Muslims to Nazis, and this is going on right now in America, and the Democrats are supporting it. What's worse is American churches are suicidally abandoning their Christian faith and heretically supporting this, with the support of a totally corrupt media.  Which makes one wonder if they were believers in the first place, and the same is true in Europe, Major Scandal Rocks the Italian Catholic Church: Bishops Accused of Funding Illegal Immigration.

• Biden Admin Funds Anti-American Efforts through Environmental Appropriations

The Islamization of Europe isn't a conspiracy theory, it's factual, it's history, that history is incontestable, and it's insane.  

Islam has no concept of world peace until the world is converted to to Islam, preferably with the sword.  As a result, Islam has been at war with the rest of the world in varying degrees for almost 1500 years.   Any harmony that exists between Islam and any other nation or group in the world, is never anything except temporary, and it only exists to allow Islam to reorganize and attack once again.  

Nor is there any harmony within Islam.  

The foundational values of Islam are hate, greed, envy, lust, and violence.  And the only ones they hate more than kafir (non believers) are Muslims of different sects, as each sect considers the other sects heretics, and the Koran demands the death of heretics.   

This is what Islam brings:

1. Absolute authoritarianism without accountability. 
2. Zero tolerance for criticism or questions.
3. Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions. 
   
4. A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave (apostasy is punishable by death).
5. Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough” (Muhammed is considered the “perfect man” and is to be emulated). 
6. A belief that the leader is right at all times (Muhammed is considered inerrant). 
7. A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation.

If someone tells you they hate you and wants kill you, and do it in the name of their religion, then you should believe them and must accept they really are barbarian savages. 

 "The barbarism of murdering women and children, taking them as hostages, and posting photos of their dead bodies to social media, is not a byproduct of Islamic warfare, it’s the whole point.

They're a medieval tribal culture with modern communications, transportation, and weapons, all of which means they must be contained and isolated, because they cannot, and will not, be assimilated.

Once the matter was resolved by Islamic teachers and innocence established, there seems to have been no apology from her would-be killers, no introspection, no resolve to behave better next time. Much of the world is like that.Human nature can be either noble or vile in its actions.  Our virtues rely on proper training to overcome our darkest instincts. Can it happen here? In the United States, we see angry mobs on campus, enraged at something someone said, seeking at least to terrify them, sometimes to injure, and possibly even to kill. Discussion of the matter is forbidden. Seemingly educated people are trained by professors not — repeat: not — to understand all sides of an issue, but rather to act on impulse. Rather than overcoming the baser tendencies of human nature, those professors encourage the darkest inclinations of their indoctrinated minions. The students act like how the mob acted in Pakistan. They willingly follow, never questioning, but only accusing.............

P&D and The Week That Was

Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

---

By Rich Kozlovich

Normally I don't add video's to my P&D monologues but I really consider this "one of the essentials", because all we know Kamala's "rise to the middle" in California wasn't through her competence.  But this video entitled, "The Shocking Origin Story of Kamala Harris and All the Crimes She’s Committed", not only shows she's incompetent, she's lazy, she's corrupt, is one nasty human being, and has been so her entire career.  In point of fact, according to this video, she's violated California law in her actions.  In short...she's also a criminal. But hey, this is California, is there any politician in California who hasn't?  Probably not.  This is what she would bring to the Presidency. 

 

• Kamala’s long history of lousy leadership is revealed in a 2002 evaluation October 12, 2024 by Andrea Widburg Whether as Vice President, Attorney General of California, or a lawyer long ago in San Francisco, Kamala consistently fails Leadership 101.......In other words, on every management attribute a leader needs—say, for example, the leader of the most powerful nation in the world—Kamala was a failing student.......Kamala was profane, abusive, unfriendly, and demanded that she be treated like royalty......Employee reviews about Kamala’s leadership style in the Vice-President’s office have been equally awful.......

Why do people keep saying, "everything will turn out for the best"? Let's stop being delusional, everything does not always turn out for the best, and we have untold thousands of years of history to show that to be true.

> 

Biden was elected through voter fraud, and what we ended up with was levels of corruption and incompetence America's never seen in all the nation's history.  More of which Kamala intends to double down on.   How's all that working out for you?

In John Mauldin's Thoughts From the Frontline he states: 

A challenge in writing a weekly letter like this is that the economy never stops. Important data keeps accumulating, whether I write about it or not. A lot happened in the last four weeks: an FOMC meeting with major policy changes, a surprising jobs report, important shifts in the bond market and yield curve, hurricanes, China, some geopolitical events, and a political race, just to start. I haven't mentioned them because I was on other, also important topics. Now it's catch-up time....... Normality is always a moving target......We do know one thing, however. The effects of 2020, 2023, the pandemic, the Fed, the inflation, everything else grow more distant with each passing day. The runway metaphor is overused but it fits: Planes can't stay in the air forever. This one will land. The question is whether we passengers will feel a hard or soft landing.

Make no mistake, there's a massive international economic downturn coming, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, that axis of evil are all broke.  I'll have more on this in my next geopolitical issue. 

Now all the "conspiracy theories", and "misinformation" about covid are coming home to roost, as the only misinformation was from the CDC, Pfizer, WHO, and the Biden administration, and as I predicted long ago, the long term consequences for their lies will impact humanity for decades. The false vaccines increased the risk of myocarditis in children, but somehow they felt the public didn't need to know that, and now, WHO, another vile corrupt international organization, admits monkeypox is a "side effect" of the covid vaccine.   Even I didn't see that coming, and someone needs to go to jail for all of this.  

• The U.S. government now effectively a criminal organization 

Western civilization has gone completely insane.  In order to protect abortionists (like those Baal worshiping priests who sacrificed babies into burning pits, they make their living by murdering the innocent unborn) Scotland has made it illegal to pray at home, declaring private residences must be considered "abortion safe zones".  So now putting people in jail for silently praying outside an abortion clinic isn't sufficient, all thoughts against abortion must now be a crime, and don't you dare discuss your feelings with God over this.  Scotland has forbidden it.  

I do hope more people start reading the book 1984, because the only thing Eric Arthur Blair, aka, George Orwell got wrong was the time frame.

Because of the Democrat's policy of open borders, a violent criminal gang from Venezuela, all here illegally, Tren De Aragua, has been allowed to become out of control here in America by these leftist nitwits, and Kamala intends to double down on that and end all border controls.  Trump on the other hand has announced “Operation Aurora” in massive move to oust foreign gangs like Tren De Aragua.  And yet, if polls are to be believed, there still are Americans who are confused as to who they support?

•  Disaster’: Aurora Police Chief: We Have ‘Very Little’ Federal Help for Dealing with Migrants

The left hates, and wants to unleash their hate violently.  That's all they have.  If your a man who won't vote for Kamala, one professor wants you shot. Your outraged a the cost of food? Then your outrage is misplaced as that's nothing more than false information, and price gouging, but under no circumstances is it the fault of Biden's polices.  Democrats openly despise Catholics, and according to Obama if your a man who won't vote for Kamala, you're a racist, even it you're black, and a misogynist.   It turns out the real racist is Obama! 

• Transcript: Obama’s racism on full display as he spoke to black Harris campaign workers in Pittsburgh yesterday
• Barack Obama’s racist, crude day appearing on Kamala’s behalf 

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!  A far left wing alien resident who illegally became president stirring up racial hatred in America, and no one asks what his motives are?  Well, it turns out not everyone in black America is all that enthused about Obama, including C. J. Pearson.

 

Former President Barack Obama is urging black men to support Kamala Harris, suggesting that our allegiance should be based on the color of her skin and the chance to “make history.” But I have a simple response to that: my ancestors fought too hard for my right to vote for me to be reduced to a racial checkbox in a political game. I won’t support someone just because they look remotely like me—especially when that person has shown no regard for the real issues facing black communities.......... But here’s the thing: we’ve been “taking one for the team” when it comes to supporting the Democratic Party for decades. And what has it gotten us? Our inner cities are struggling, violent crime is on the rise, and too many of our communities remain trapped in a cycle of poverty. That’s the reality of progressive policies, not just in a few cities but across the country. We don’t need more of the same—we need leadership that actually delivers.

 

The media is corrupt beyond belief, the only difference is their corruption is out in the open, and this piece by Mary Grabar demonstrates it,  J.D. Vance Committed the Unforgivable Facecrime of Confidently Smiling.  

Jack Smith, the federal prosecutor who isn't a federal prosecutor, has decided the Supreme Court didn't understand his persecution of Donald Trump with their presidential immunity ruling, so he's made some changes and refiled, apparently to help them understand the error of their ways.   Jack Cashill likens all this to the prosecutorial misconduct of Mike Nifong saying:

 

.....who notoriously hid exculpatory evidence and distorted the sequence of events to prosecute three Duke lacrosse players on a rape charge. Once exposed, Nifong was disbarred and arrested. The difference between Nifong and special counsel Jack Smith, Donald Trump’s Javert, is that Smith is still practicing law.

 

Nifong was disbarred, but Smith's conduct has been even worse.

As the political climate clears it seems clear to many Democrats that Trump will be elected, and to the point even the voter fraud schemes they have in place may not be sufficient to prevent it, so, they've decided to become election deniers.  Imagine that.  Doing what they demanded Pence not to, and did so with profound outrage claiming that would be an attempt to destroy "our" democracy. 

I've updated my An Analysis: Senate Race 2024 and More, article, and Matt Vespa thinks the Republicans have a solid chance to take the Senate, with which I agree, but you can never overlook Republican ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Constant as the North Star

You know that voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say?  Yeah, well, I don't have that!    We need to question everything because everything we're told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality!  Much of what we're told does not!

Crime Prevention Isn't Racism

By Rich Kozlovich 

For forty years I was an exterminator, which means running a route, so I spent a lot of time in my truck.  Radio degenerated, and got really tired of the music, and the talk shows with so many nitwits spouting off about things they clearly didn't understand. 

So I bought some great tapes from old radio shows, and books by Louis L'Amour.  Louis L'Amour loved the Texas Rangers.  One of them he talked about, who before he became a Ranger, was a horse rancher.   

Three men came onto his ranch and stole his horse herd taking off to Mexico with them.   His friends wanted to form a posse and go after them but he said they’d be in Mexico before that, so he took off after them alone.  He rode night and day until he caught up with them.  A shoot out entailed with him killing two of them and arrested the third. 

When he returned with the herd and told what happened, they asked where’s the prisoner?  He said since he’s been riding day and night he was exhausted and falling asleep in the saddle.  The rustler told him when he fell asleep he was going to kill him and take the herd to Mexico.  He realized the truth of that and decided he needed to find a way to secure him for the night so he could finally get some sleep, safely.

So he tied his hands behind him, put him on his horse, threw a rope over a tree branch tied it off and tied the other end around his neck, and went to sleep.  When he woke up in the morning he said wouldn’t you know it, that darned horse walked off and left him in the middle of the night.

Well, that’s not what happened.  He just hung the man.  They knew he hung the man.  And they didn’t care because they were going to hang the man anyway.   

So, what’s the moral of this story.  It’s important to know the difference between right and wrong, and what needs to be done about it.  

On August 31, 2024 Michael Letts posted this article, The politics of police defunding, saying: 

 

The “defund the police” campaign that started over four years ago has done catastrophic damage to our country.  In the wake of said campaign, a number of politicians -- including President Joe Biden -- have pushed for the removal of funds from police forces, diverting them elsewhere in an effort to “teach a lesson,” as it were.

 

Well....  shocker of shockers ..... crime is destroying those cities.  Imagine that, and Oakland, California's Chief of  Police Floyd Mitchell is asking for the public to help them.  

 

The public did help, they paid taxes, authorizing the hiring of tough men with guns to protect society, and gave them the power to enforce the law.   Let's not delude ourselves here.  Most of these cities are run by radical, race hustling, black Democrat politicians catering to the black criminal element claiming they're being arrested because of racism.  

 

If the public want's security, it first needs to dump the halfwits they put in charge, and state clearly these misfits are thugs being arrested for committing crimes, not racism. The problem isn't white racism, it's black culture. 

 

Eight monsters abducted, tortured, raped a young mother and then murdered her, and these monsters even videoed the whole vile event. Her name was Mahogany Jackson.  What did they have in common? They were all black. 

 

There are entirely too many people, black and white, who sympathize and justify what all  these black criminal thugs are doing!  Fortunately there are some prominent blacks who see this for what it is.  Sharika Soal addressed this horror by saying:  Stop Sympathizing With Black Criminals – It Harms Americans.  

Please review, Central Park Rape: The Secret File, and take some time to review my .  Also, Mychal Massie's commentary, If America is so bad, blacks – why stay?

So, if the citizens fail to take responsible action in cities like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, New Orleans, Baltimore, and all the other major cities in America the Democrats have destroyed, most of which are run by blacks, then...... schadenfreude.   Oh, yeah, I forgot, Chicago with some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Double schadenfreude!

 

 

Illegal Aliens, Gun Control, and National Security

By Rich Kozlovich

On August 29, 2024  Olivia Murray posted this article, Armed with heavy firepower, Venezuelan gang of illegals seizes control of entire apartment complex in Aurora, CO, containing a video showing these young thugs, here illegally, brandishing weapons doing whatever they pleased, and clearly having no fear about doing it.   And they're doing it in a state that has some of them most restrictive gun laws in the nation.  

If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? 

One thing is clear, the argument by Second Amendment supporters that when guns are prohibited only criminals will have guns is blatantly true.  That has been obvious for so long it shouldn't have to be repeated, but the left still trumpets gun control, which for them ultimately means banning guns.  That is a foundational tenet of leftist ideology.   Why? 

Because the "self-appointed morally superior left  is behind the tyrannies of multiculturalism", and leftists hate America, and Americans!  

Overturning the Second Amendment puts honest citizens at the mercy of the state.  Then obedience follows, and soon there's tyranny with all the power being held by a smaller and smaller number of people in a very short time.  

People who can no longer be voted out of office, just like Maduro in Venezuela.  And none dare call it treason any longer!  The ‘party of freedom’ has an odd view of what freedom means, and the Pravda media supports them.

She goes on to ask:

Is Aurora, Colorado home to our first official “no-go” zone? ......The video was shot in the building where Cindy and Edward Romero lived until Wednesday. FOX31 caught up with them as they loaded up their stuff and moved out.  ‘It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,’ former resident Cindy Romero said......The Romeros say the trouble started when a large number of migrants began moving in.

How did this happen?

[M]ore than $380 million worth of Shelter and Services Program (SSP) grants will go to local and state governments, as well as NGOs, ‘that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation’ to migrants ‘recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings.’

This spending comes after Biden-Harris funneled $780 million just last year, and just through two channels (SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program). How much spending is going on elsewhere? (Hint: It’s in the hundreds of billions.) Remember what Representative Jodey Arrington revealed earlier this year? From a Budget Committee press release:

‘The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don’t think we’ve talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this [illegal migrant] cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion’s share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.’

It's bad enough these illegal aliens are here in the first place, but they're not only eating up our resources, they're turning the nation into mini criminal states within the states and the federal government is funding it. 

"We live in a bipolar world. Normal people want these thugs arrested and deported. Democrats want to make sure they’re registered to vote. It’s nuts."

All of which was entirely predictable, and we really need to get this.  The Constitution wasn't meant to be a suicide pact, and the founding fathers never dreamed there would be a political party dedicated to the destruction of the nation.  

This was in point of fact a military takeover of these apartments, so the question that needs to be asked and answered is where are the SWAT Teams, or the Colorado National Guard?  Apparently no one has called for them and the Mayor says he loves all these illegals.  I guess this is what "Tim Walz might just consider this “neighborly” behavior."

This is why the Constitution has a Second Amendment providing for and allowing citizens to organize and defend their communities as militias, but that requires a massive change in leadership at every level, otherwise it's called insurrection.  

This out of control criminal activity is rampant throughout the nation, in California illegals are setting wildfires out in San Diego's back country.   

 

 They set up campfires wherever they want. They set wildfires to attract border agents to pick them up and transport them to their destinations of choice. They burn down border vehicles because they don't like the Border Patrol. It's shocking what they will do whenever they want something, given the danger of the fire risk and just how big and catastrophic these fires can get once they get out of control. Sound like the kind of people who might rape and murder, too, once they go through catch-and-release?

And nobody in the Biden administration, let alone his border czar, are doing a thing about the border, not on the sea-side, where illegals ride in through the surf and run through the beachgoers' picnics and beach ball parties, as we have seen, and not on the badlands side where illegals set wildfires intentionally and apparently all of them get away with it.

In San Diego's back county, illegals attempt to hijack two school buses loaded with children - ......highlights just how dangerous Joe Biden's open borders are, what with wildfires started, attempted bus hijackings, beach invasions, rapes, robberies, kidnappings and murders, apartment takeovers (described today by AT Deputy Editor Olivia Murray here) and nobody held accountable for it......Nothing is being done, nothing at all, other than border czar Kamala Harris putting out ads claiming to be "tough" on the border. She actually in charge, though, and now this bottom has dropped out -- school kids unable to go to school by her vaunted yellow school buses because illegals come first.  Any comment from her on this outrageous development? Any media curiosity? Of course not

A nation's leaders are supposed to be the shepherds protecting the flock from the wolves.  These monsters are not only turning the wolves loose on the flock, they're protecting them, in effect the Democrat party is in reality no longer a political party, it's a criminal organization.  Since Kamala and the criminal organization she wants to be the head of is responsible for all this, why would we think they're going to fix it in the future? 

EPA Can’t Deny Farmers Their Day in Court

Here is a prime opportunity for the White House to show farmers that it stands with them and with sensible, science-based environmental regulation, and against bureaucracy gone wild.

By Gerald Baron • September 1, 2020
 
With so much bad news circulating these days, how about some good news from an unlikely source? The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has been a bastion of judicial activism for decades. But maybe that’s changing.

Late last month, a three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency is not allowed to cover up evidence that they screwed up and then dodge a lawsuit by claiming the statute of limitations had expired.

The judges denied a motion by the agency to dismiss a lawsuit being brought by Washington state dairy farmers. What the farmers allege, with plenty of evidence courtesy of Freedom of Information Act requests, is a long list of actions by the EPA that are unethical, and possibly even criminal.

The Washington State Dairy Federation argues that the local branch of the EPA put together a shaky study of nitrate contamination in Yakima Valley groundwater. The farmers argue, again with plenty of documentary evidence, that EPA bureaucrats then rewrote that study over the objection of outside scientific experts to put the blame on farmers. They further state that the EPA strong-armed local farmers into signing consent decrees that cost them millions of dollars by misrepresenting the study..........To Read More.....
