RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
Our Seculars/Progressives/Atheists are Dragging
Humanity to The Knife, The Rock and The Fire.
They are Unable to Fight or to Save.
They are Able to be Mulish.
They Trip to Destruction.
Our sanctimonious seculars, these precious progressives are froward and unable worms. Caliphists are stomping them into mounds of mush. These arrogant atheists are ground-dwellers, worms, unable worms. No wonder they call out to gaia, a power they project into space.
Caliphists are ground-walkers. No wonder they stride all over seculars’ sanctimony with strength they have natively and hesitate not to use.
Countries who want or acquiesce to be led by seculars, progressives, atheists are going to defeat under Caliphism. There is no doubt whatsoever that that is their vector.
Countries who want to defeat Caliphism rather than be defeated by it will become Christian, Hindu or Buddhist. There is no doubt whatsoever about that, either.
All the arms in the world cannot defeat Caliphism unless they are wielded by persons able to make moral judgements, able to discriminate between right and wrong, chose right and attack wrong to its total demise.
No secular, progressive, atheist at any time in history — including now — has been or will be able to do that. They positively want to not do that. They want to do the exact opposite: destroy the ability to make moral judgements, confuse everyone regarding morality at all and jeer, taunt, hector — or worse — who declines to join their, in effect, debauchery.
If you want beheading, lapidation or immolation, support and vote for seculars, progressives, atheists. You will get exactly what you want.
If you want to avoid the knife, the rock and the fire Caliphists are bringing to you whether you want them to or not, become a Christian, a Hindu or a Buddhist and become the leader cadre of your country.
A friend observes as follows (with editing for this context by me):
Lacking clear moral legitimacy, USA with secular, progressive, atheist leader cadre cannot even begin to fight. There may be a bomb-tossing contest with Caliphists, but USA with this leader cadre is not fighting them. To do so requires Christian leader cadre supported by Hindus and Buddhists. That cadre would have the courage to pass judgement on Caliphists, to say that as a group, a class of phenomena, Caliphists are evil. That moral clarity and strength is an unattainable concept to the secular, progressive, atheist leader cadre occupying the White House and apparently a terrifying concept to the United States Congress.
So, as currently so-called led,
USA is going to defeat under Caliphism.
Seculars, progressives, atheists cannot beat Caliphists and will be obliterated by them. Those morons run towards self-destruction eagerly as if towards an orgy, a debauching. They imagine they control the world as the world closes in on them, to kill them. There is sexual perversion in their so precious behavior. Studio 54 lives in their blood, somehow, a parasite they gleefully welcome. They never overcome that image of a good time. And their sanctimony drags millions with them into the pit, promising peace, equality and respect. Hah! When did the arrogant want those qualities for anyone but themselves?
Caliphists fear Christians and despise seculars. Well they should. They give a lot of thought to terrifying Christians, Hindus and Buddhists and next to none to massacring atheists (who include among their number virtually all so-called Muslims). Caliphists have zero thought of sanctimonious seculars, precious progressives, arrogant atheists. Why should they? Seculars will put their own neck in the noose. They will walk under their own steam into the box cars and stand impotently — still froward, jeering, taunting, hectoring, mulish — as rocks or flames rise over them. Why should Caliphists think more of seculars than to despise them? Progressives cannot make a moral judgement. They cannot make any kind of judgement. Atheists preen themselves on the thought that they cannot and will not discriminate between right and wrong.
If you want beheading, lapidation or immolation, support and vote for seculars, progressives, atheists. You will get exactly what you want.
If you want to avoid the knife, the rock and the fire Caliphists are bringing to you whether you want them to or not, become a Christian, a Hindu or a Buddhist and become the leader cadre of your country.
Come, come, you froward and unable worms!
My mind hath been as big as one of yours,
My heart as great, my reason haply more,
To bandy word for word and frown for frown;
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband’s foot:
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready; may it do him ease.
Act V, Scene II, The Taming Of The Shrew
William Shakespeare
Update 1: Althouse, Instapundit and Power Line treat of Marie Harf’s latests and, related, the late Summit of Caliphists in Washington D.C. I commented, with edits here, to this effect, seemingly uniquely:
At the Summit The Fraud is telling his audience — by making theological distinctions and by convening the Summit — that he is their Caliph and they are his Sultans. And he is telling AQ, ISIS, Saud, Iran, etc., and even Muslim Brotherhood, his old sponsors, that they, too, have to bend the neck to him. No doubt in return he has promised US taxpayer subsidy of their mosques, missions and charities, i.e., their world-wide jihads … so long as they recognize him as Supreme Global Caliph.
Update 2: Roger Simon: Wonderful Copenhagen: Lessons for 2016.
Update 3: And as for Italy …. And here (a strategy which sounded intelligent but was not decisive in WW II). And here. And they never learn: Our proposal is to wait for the U.N. Security Council. The strength of the U.N. is decidedly superior to that of the radical militias. As if!
Update 4: Seculars, progressives, atheists will be converting to Islam in fear for their lives and in order to conduct even and ever deeper harm on their motherland. That, of course, is the purpose of Caliphists’ ferocious and sanguinary presentment. It also is the purpose of The Fraud’s equally fierce and bloody refusal to identify AQ, ISIS, Saud, Iran, Muslim brotherhood, etc., as faces of Islam.
Update 5: The Fraud uses the Muslim gang sign.
Update 6: America’s “Islamic Fabric”?
Update 7: On 27 January 2015, Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis addressed the United States Senate Armed Services Committee on the subject A New American Grand Strategy. At Hoover Institution, who published an adapted version of General Mattis’ address, I commented — with edits here — as follows:
Not that it matters, but, I both appreciate and despond over General Mattis’ address here. Appreciate because (1) as a genuine warrior he says what he sees and eloquently and (2) his heart is unalloyed courage and compassion. Despond because (1) his address reflects lack of situational awareness — half his auditors at least regard the nation state, including USA, as obsolete and perishing — and (2) his address, although latterly specifying or implying serious tactical weaknesses of current operations, transits the periphery of his title: grand national strategy.
It is rare for a military leader to grasp and execute the several strands — principally diplomatic, economic and military, but others as well — of grand national strategy sufficiently to create a rational grand national strategic *objective* that is also inspirational. It is rare for anyone to be able to do that. General David Petraeus has that ability, which is why the Anti-American, Globalist-partisan US Justice [so-called] Department is persecuting/prosecuting him. Asking Congress or a bureaucracy to develop that ability and execute with it compares with asking a herd of cats to organize an expedition to summit Annapurna. Distilling and serving a happy grand national strategic *objective* is a personal, leadership thing few can do, but some definitely can and do accomplish. Their thoughts merit discovery and attendance.
The cynosure of a nation is not her grand national strategy. It is her grand national strategic *objective.* Given what we see now, project and anticipate — always expecting the unexpected, as General Mattis mentions, thankfully, in his address — where and what do we want to be as a nation three, five, ten, etc. years hence? What is our objective? What do we really, truly — as a nation — want for and of ourself to be, to do, to think? What is our inner necessity as a nation? What are we on this earth to accomplish as a national presence? And why do members of Congress not live in the states from which they were selected for office?
Related: On 04 March 2015 Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis wrote for Hoover Institution under title Using Military Force Against ISIS. I commented:
I am content that GEN (Ret.) Mattis’ thinking, clear and compelling, be expressed in public. Thank you, General! Our countrymen are working their way towards how they will think and what they will do when they are quit of the hag riding their back. And they will be that. This exercise in preparation for the restoration of national sovereignty and wealth flowing from national moral and intellectual strength is what should be happening and what is happening. I am content.
Update 8: An interesting comment string arose at Instapundit when Glenn Reynolds referenced Mark Cunningham on the subject of what The Fraud should say about Islam. I commented as follows, making an important observation regarding the effect of religion on affairs:
Were I to take Cunningham’s essay as serious thought — and I think it is not — I would say his face is too close to the canvas, he has seen a couple of swirls of paint and yelled, “Eureka!” Were he serious, he would pull back to ponder the whole canvas or at least more of it than has caught his fancy. His enthusiasm would, shall we say, moderate.
Serious, productive thought cannot come from other than a monastic. Men and women bearing the daily burdens and cares of life, such as Cunningham, simply cannot and will not create intellectual and moral forms that benefit anyone lastingly. They are too busy, and justly so, one hopes. Such men and women can use such forms once they are created, but create them they can not and will not. Those stepped way back from the canvas — monastics — do that. The truth is the whole.
Update 9: Caliphists, one is sure, look forward to duking it out with females for world domination.
Update 10: Students at Elite Universities Taking Up Arms.
Update 11: Onward Christian Soldiers!
Update 12: Former Obama Intel Chief: Administration’s Iran Policy Is Willful Ignorance.
Update 13: GEN (R) Petraeus: The Islamic State Is Not Our Biggest Problem In Iraq
Update 15: The Saudi Connection: Wahhabism and Global Jihad, and related: Qatar.
Update 16: A side-point on this post: is it really true that Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, aka global Islamic hegemony by every means available? This statement is repeated again and again, seemingly everywhere, by everyone. Is it true? I do not know, but I suspect it is not true, and have no way to validate my suspicion.
I suspect al Saud is the world’s largest state sponsor of global Islamic hegemony (Caliphism), at least if large is taken to indicate monies spent and time-in-grade.
For example, who pays for the Islamic Centers, Islamic propaganda/information circulars/curricula and Islamic Studies Departments at … how many primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities around the globe? Who pays for the Islamic “prison ministries” in virtually every country not officially Islamic? Who pays for the madrassas in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere? Who is trying to bankrupt some countries while funding others as well as supposedly non-state actors?
Who fills the world’s media with continuous cascades of sanctimonious double-talk to justify global Islamic hegemony?
If my suspicion regarding the world’s largest sponsor of “terrorism” is correct, then a one-eyed laser-focus on Iran as the primary enemy of the USA in the ME flouts Von Clausewitz’ first rule of war, does it not?
Finally — and of this I am certain: in the ME, it is deeply and widely held as fundamental truth that the State of Israel birthed ISIS — which in the ME is deeply and widely hated by the generality — to cripple Arab freedom, independence and self-determination.
