Will this country’s bondage to the Politically Correct, be severed, if Muslim extremists get hold of a nuclear device? What will it take before this country wakes up and realizes we are in a struggle for our very existence?<br /><br />One Muslim extremist is all it takes to reap mass casualties. “In the name of Allah and the Holy Qur'an”, they find their justification to kill. This is a mortal clash between Islamic extremists and the nonbeliever and his way of life. This is not new, since Muhammad led his followers against the nonbelievers in the seventh century, the world has been in a struggle between Islam and those who do not believe.<br /><br />Are all Muslims extremists? No, the majority of Muslims are not extremists. Furthermore, at times this country has been exposed to terrorism by non-Muslim groups and individuals. But time after time, Muslim extremism has spread havoc since the inception of Islam. Jihad has been the tool to spread Islam and punish the offenders of Islam. There is a repeating pattern of Islamic extremist Jihad and there is no end in sight. Shariah or Sharia law is starting to creep into this country and is spreading across Europe. Beyond the Islamic extremists, others in Islam want to see Sharia Law replace Western Society.<br /><br />At this time, the Politically Correct on the far left, continue to diminish the threat of Islamic extremism. And at the same time, the far left tries to deflect the threat by highlighting Right- Wingers as the real threat to this country. No one has the right to take the law into their own hands, but we do have the right to know what threats are out there and by whom. Being Politically Correct is not in our best interest.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-57498886339034756782008-08-20T09:17:00.000-07:002008-08-20T09:22:59.967-07:00Carbon and Man’s Carbon FootprintHominid (early form of man) footprints preserved by a volcanic eruption and rainfall 3.6 million years ago, found in present day Tanzania (1976). Early man’s presence or his ancestors have left footprints and now man is leaving a different type of footprint, called the Carbon Footprint. In 4 million years from now, what kind of footprints will be left behind by man, to be found by those who follow?<br /><br />To some, carbon is the most dastardly and evil substance since the dawn of time. According to some environmentalists, Man has been increasing his carbon footprint at an alarming rate. His carbon footprint has to be offset by carbon offsets. He has to seek absolution, the modern equivalent of Papal Indulgences for his mortal (carbon) sins. Only the High Priest of Global Warming can forgive his sins. Carbon pollution and the resulting Global Warming are the result of Man. Man has been violating the balance of Nature since he first stepped into the ecosystem. Until Man arrived on the scene, the balance of Nature was intact. It appears that only the eradication of Man will save the earth?<br /><br />Before the advent of Man, where on this planet we call Earth and in the vast Universe could carbon be found? Well it turns out that after hydrogen, helium and oxygen, carbon is the fourth most abundant element by mass in the Universe. Pure carbon is found as amorphous carbon (soot), graphite (soft steel-gray to black crystalline form, used today in lead pencils) and as diamonds, one of the hardest crystalline substances. Like silicon, carbon has four outer electrons that form four single bonds. In addition to carbon chemically combining with itself, with single bonds, it can form double and triple chemical bonds and bond to many other elements forming organic and inorganic compounds. Following the Big Bang and the creation of Universe (about 14 billion years ago), our solar system evolved about 4.5 billion years ago. Carbon in the form of methane, a hydrocarbon (organic compound) can be found on one of the moons of Jupiter. There don’t appear to be any life forms on Titan to account for the methane. Scientists now believe as the earth has seas of water, there may be seas of methane on the cold surface of Titan. On earth, methane is found as a primary component in natural gas along with other small hydrocarbons; methane is the simplest building block of the non-aromatic hydrocarbons found in petroleum or crude oil. Natural gas, petroleum along with coal, are known as fossil fuels derived from long-buried plants (millions of years ago) and microorganisms. These forms of energy, power our modern industry and way of life.<br /><br />After the formation of the earth, earlier forms of carbon were found in the early 4.5 billion year old atmosphere. After the initial hot gaseous ball of fire, the earth gradually cooled and over time, evolved into its present composition. Early on, the atmospheric gases hydrogen and helium escaped earth’s gravitational attraction and diffused into space. Later, because of volcanic activity, carbon dioxide (CO2) became a major component (plus other gases); its concentration was much higher than it is today. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (incomplete oxidation) are inorganic carbon compounds. So carbon dioxide along with smaller amounts of methane, were major contributors to the greenhouse gases at the time. Without these gases, the earth would have remained a ball of ice. The sun at the time was only about 75% as bright as it is today. Life as we know it may not have evolved without the early high concentrations of carbon dioxide, producing the first greenhouse global warming.<br /><br />Carbon has been around since the earliest days of the planet. Life (which is carbon based), in its infancy about three and a half billion years ago, formed as single cell microorganisms in the oceans that covered large portions of the planet. At first, life was anaerobic; the atmosphere was void of any measurable amount of oxygen. Oxygen was poisonous to these early life forms. Over time as carbon dioxide dissolved in the oceans and was fixed in rocks, new life forms evolved that used the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water (photosynthesis) into a new form of carbon (carbohydrates) and oxygen. Without CO2, plant life would not exist, therefore Man would not exist. The atmosphere evolved into its present composition of 21 percent oxygen, 78 percent nitrogen, 0.93 percent argon and 0.04 percent carbon dioxide.<br /><br />Today there are about ten million organic (carbon) compounds including DNA (the foundation of life), proteins, carbohydrates (sugars) and lipids. This includes the organic compounds that make up microorganisms, plant and animal species. In addition, many organic compounds have been made by Man. Countless beneficial products have resulted from synthesizing organic chemicals, medicines such as penicillin-like antibiotics (pharmaceuticals), and polymers used in tires, clothing, furniture, floor coverings, vinyl siding, containers to preserve food plus many other uses. Steel an alloy made of iron and a small amount of carbon, is used for building ships, cars, buildings and planes. Looking to the future, carbon nanotubes (cylindrical carbon molecules) may be used to replace carbon steel, due to the fact they are stronger than steel. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes have electrical properties that make them a possible replacement for copper electrical wiring and microcircuitry (computers). In summary, carbon has many beneficial uses; life itself and our quality and quantity of life would not exist and/or would be limited without carbon. <br /><br />So carbon is more complicated than just the word “carbon” or the carbon footprint. What environmentalists are talking about, are excessive carbon dioxide, methane and other byproducts, out of the millions of beneficial carbon compounds. Carbon dioxide is a natural byproduct of oxidation and respiration (life forms), part of the carbon chemical cycle. Is Man the major contributor to the present increases in carbon dioxide and in addition to other pollutants, causing global change (global warming)? During The Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, CO2 levels were five to ten times higher than they are today. In addition, approximately 55 million years ago, (Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM)), there was a major magnitude of global warming. Massive amounts of carbon dioxide were added to the atmosphere long before the advent of the automobile and dramatically changed the climate. No one is disputing today's global change, and that man has a role in what might be happening. But the earth has gone through a number of cycles of global heating and cooling. The last ice age ended about ten thousand years ago and ushered in Modern Man. The debate is not over, it has just started.<br /><br />However, regardless of the fact that we might be in a cycle of global warming, we have to look to renewable clean resources of energy but at the same time, we have to bridge the change with continued use of domestic fossil fuels. Solar, wind, cellulosic ethanol, hydraulic (water) turbines, nuclear, coal (with CO2 sequestration), natural gas, and petroleum can used in concert with conservation and recycling, to solve our domestic energy requirements. The War on Terrorism and our weakened Economy, demand that we don't do anything rash.<br /><br />Modern science is based on theories, laws and models. However, our understanding of science is in a constant state of evolution. Our comprehension (knowledge) of what is happening in the Universe (and on Earth), continues to changed and be updated; only time will tell if we are moving in the right direction, including global change. Man has to continue to make observations, collect data and interpret the data objectively. Using the Scientific Method is the only way to obtain objective knowledge. Scientific debate must never cease, if it does, then we are no longer talking about scientific knowledge but a belief system (religion). In this last situation, the scientists are replaced by the priests, the high priests of global warming.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-44674713677573384752008-04-15T09:59:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:24:09.617-07:00Is Barack the Flim-Flam-Man, the Pied Piper, a snake oil salesman or the man to take charge?I wrote an earlier article in which I thought Borack Obama might be the right person for the change in our leadership (<a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/wdmll/gGBnSV">link</a>). But since then, new information into the inner thoughts and beliefs of Obama are emerging (<a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/wdmll/gGBnnC">link</a>). It must pointed out that one can’t paint all people of a skin color, ethnicity, political persuasion religion or any other category, as the same. However, There are those who collectively want to impose their racial and bigotry concepts on others. Bigotry and racism are not the sole possession of the right. Why is it, blacks on the right, such as Colin Powell (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powell">link</a>) and Condoleezza Rice (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condoleezza_Rice">link</a>) are hated by blacks (the majority) on the left. Why are some black people, who have very light complexions like <a href="http://www.mediatakeout.com/22872/alicia_keys_gangsta_rap_is_a_ploy_to_get_black_people_to_kill_each_other.html">Alicia Keyes</a>, attacking whites (link)?<br /><br /><br />Who is the real Barack Obama, what does he believe about racism, loyalty and America? What are his true feelings, what impact did his early Islamic background, his association with white and Jewish hate mongers, have on his beliefs (<a href="http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/14/obamas-spiritual-adviser-questioned-us-role-in-spread-of-hiv-sept-11-attacks/" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJeremiah_Wright">link</a>)? His past association with an American terrorist (<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article3736043.ece">link</a>), his upbringing and life experiences, in totality leads one to believe that he may not be the right person to lead this country. Recently, Obama told a group of elitists in San Francisco, about people in the Midwest, as Middle class Americans, they cling to their guns and clothe themselves in the belief of a hell and brimstone god (<a href="http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/11/obama-draws-fire-for-comments-on-small-town-america/">link</a>). He further stated, Midwest Americans are against foreigners or anyone that is different. He implied they are bitter white people, mad, mad as hell because their way of life is disappearing. Is Barack Obama right or is he the Flim-Flam-Man who is trying to sell his followers a bill of goods. Are his followers wearing blinders and want change and don’t care what change brings. Is he the Pied Piper, whose tune has hypnotized the masses? Is he nothing more than a snake oil salesman? Or does he have the answer and knows how to lead this country to a new enlighten future?<br /><br /><br />The First and Second Amendments of the Constitution give us certain rights (<a href="http://wdmll.blogspot.com/2007/11/our-first-and-second-amendment-rights.html">link</a>). These rights include, ownership of guns if we choose and the right to believe or not in God. We have the right to worship God if we choose to. We are a country of immigrants, but we have a right to be concern about illegal immigration. We have the right to be bitter about the lose of jobs, and outsourcing of jobs.<br /><br /><br />So we have two groups of people, the bitter right of center who are recoiling in their shells and the left of center who believe it is their time, that Barack is the new Godless messiah who will lead them to the land of milk and honey. But in order for this to happen, the past has to be regurgitated and the transgressions of the white man have to be put on trial. In the barbershops, in the black churches and in black music, the proponents of hate whitie, are prevalent. The enlighten whites are flocking to fall in line behind Barack. Some are the young idealists and others are the rich and famous, others are the educated elitists. They all feel that it is time to correct the sins of the white man.<br /><br /><br />At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I thought maybe the country is ready for a person of color. But when the revelations of about his spiritual advisor became apparent and his associates who also advocate hatred for this country and for white people, causes one to pause and ask, who is this man? What does change mean to him, what change is he advocating? Is the new Utopia going to be at the expense of the white man and his way of life? Are we to pay reparations for the past? I thought Barack and Michelle were the vanguard of the new upper class of the blacks, who because of their success, were going to lead the way for other blacks. Setting the example, of how people of all ethnicities have the potential to achieve the American dream. But it looks like more of the same, the outing of one section of society for another. The past has to be included in the study of history so that we don’t make the same mistakes in the future. But, to live in the past is not the answer. If Barack Obama is going to be the vanguard of change, then he has to look to the future not the past.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-65737904340877739892008-04-10T11:49:00.000-07:002008-04-13T05:57:36.624-07:00When the Man drops the hammer on youI'm writing this as an article because I'm trying to defend myself from the Man. If you have ever been accused of something and your accusers are police personnel, it is a lose-lose situation. Once you fall out of the circle of Law Enforcement employment, it can be worse than being treated like a convicted criminal. They can always use the excuse, that they had to do what they did or what they are going to do.<br /><br />Last night, I received a phone call from a friend of mine who still works for the Denver Police Crime Laboratory. He told me that he is about to retire and we talked about what he is going to do when he retires. He also said that he could now talk about statements that were made in his presence (a meeting where several people were present), about an e-mail (last February) that I had sent to him, supervisory members of the Crime laboratory and the Denver Police Department. It is chilling to know what they still think of me and the possible ramifications. Law enforcement has almost unlimited powers.<br /><br />Here is a copy of the most recent e-mail that I sent to my friend.<br />4-08-08<br /><br />Patrick,<br /><br />Here is the posting you asked for.<br /> The e-mail below was rewritten on 2-21-08 and posted on Zimbio as an article. I felt that I had nothing to hide and I was willing to let the world know what happened. I now know what they (DPD Lab) said when they read the e-mail (below), that I'm out of my mind and I'm still a threat. I think I will send a copy to the ACLU and the Colorado Attorney General's office. I may have to hire a lawyer, to file a deformation of character case plus protect myself from any physical force or action, they may bring against me. Without do process, they have found me guilty. It is apparent that they will not let this go away, that I have been branded for life and there is nothing I can do, unless I take legal action. If not for myself then for my wife.<br /><br />A person has to fight for what is right. I can't have this false allegation (that I'm a threat and I might perpetrate violence in the future) hanging over my head. As crazy as these people appear to be, I have to protect Diane and myself, using legal actions. It is ironic that according to the newspapers, a Denver city employee, who put a knife to the throat of another city employee, is still working for the city. As I have pointed out before, the pen is mightier than the sword. Violence is not the way to settle things.<br /><br />If these people who have guns and badges, paint me as a threat, what keeps them from acting on the premise that I have to be neutralized in one way or another. Forget the fact, the police psychologist found that I was not a threat to myself or anyone else. Or that I had verbally and in writing, asked for help in my fight against work place harassment (in the form of age discrimination) almost three years ago, from the very same people who are now saying, that I'm a present and future threat.<br /><br />In conclusion, having worked for an agency for almost 34 years, one would have thought, that I would have had some friends. Maybe I deserved everything I got, or I worked with or for, "the Demons in Hell". Even though, I still have a copy of my certificate of "The 1995 Civilian Employee of the Year for the Denver Police Department", my name has been removed from the placard down in the entrance of the Denver Police Department Administration Building. I also understand, that right after I left, any pictures or other references to me, were removed from the laboratory by the order of the current Laboratory Director. Like in Stalinist Russia, when the Communists purged someone, they removed anything that reflected or gave reference to the person who was purged. That person was “Persona non grata”, he never existed. I wouldn't be surprised if my published Laboratory Reference Texts ((with my name (co-author) on the front of the hardbound manuals)), which were in the instrumentation room, were purged (I was responsible for the organic instrumentation section for over twenty five years). Like in Communist Russia, I'm that person “Persona non grata”, I never existed. Regardless of the fact there is scientific literature and even Web sites that prove the person in question, existed. I guess I'm lucky; I didn't get a bullet through the back of the head? If you know your Soviet Union history, getting shot in the head preceded having your name and identity purged.<br />wdmll "Professional Experience" link, <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUser%3AWdmll">click here</a><br /> Other links for wdmll, <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.comcast.net%2F%3Fq%3Dwdmll%26cat%3DWeb%26con%3Dbetaa">click here</a><br />Web page for wdmll, <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wdmll.com%2F">click here</a><br />There are a number of links to my Arson Analysis Presentation that I developed, when I was employed by the Denver Police Department Crime Laboratory. Some are found in the above links and on other sites. This "Persona non grata" non-existent individual contributed to the Laboratory in a number of ways, over a period of thirty-four years. The Organic Instrumentation Laboratory Section was transformed from a small laboratory environment to a large modern laboratory environment, under my management. I'm confident that even though the Laboratory would have grown over time, it would not be one half (even one fourth) of what is today without my presence, guidance and endeavors. The arson analysis program that I started and ran was one of the best in the nation (<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forensic.to%2Fwebhome%2Farson%2Farson%2520slides%2520and%2520Instrumentation%2520theory%25%20">go to link; taken from my Arson Analysis Presentation, go to slide #31</a>). The multitude and complexity of "State of the Art" instrumentation for testing controlled substances (drugs) and other physical evidence was the result of my creativity and expertise. One of the laboratory’s major crime fighting tools grew from one gas chromatographic mass spectrometer to an array of gas chromatographic mass spectrometers (<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGas_chromatography-mass_spectrometry">go to link</a>). Virtually few crime laboratories if any, of any size in the nation have more gas chromatographic mass spectrometers per analyst than the Denver Police Department Crime Laboratory. These instruments are used for a variety of different types of physical evidence. Other instruments include spectrophotometers (<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSpectrophotometer">go to link</a>) and etc. Data is collected and displayed by sophisticated computer systems (<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chem.arizona.edu%2Fmassspec%2Fintro_html%2Fintro.html">go to link</a>)। So my legacy in the Denver Police Crime Laboratory speaks for itself, even to this day. They might try to discredit what I’m saying, but they cannot deny the truth.<br /><br /><br />The following is an earlier article I wrote:<br /><br /> Personal insight into myself, in an e-mail that I wrote<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zimbio.com/Non-Politically+Correct+View+of+America" rel="nofollow" _extended="true">http://www.zimbio.com/Non-Politically+Correct+View+of+America's+Crisis/articles/79/Personal+insight+myself+e+mail+wrote</a>Written by <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/wdmll" rel="nofollow" _extended="true">wdmll</a> on Feb-21-08 5:55pm<br /><br /> <br />This is an e-mail that I'm sending to several people, to some to say hey look at what I have done (an e-mail to you, family and friends). And to others (DPD), that I'm not a monster or killer waiting in the shadows. I have always been able to vent my frustrations through writing and not through violence (the pen not the sword). Go back and look at what I wrote to management and HR or you can review what the police psychologist had to say about me (not a threat to myself or anyone else). It has taken me almost three years to hold my head up and say, I'm innocent of the charges and all the doubters and cynics can lump it. All I was asking for at the time, was to be given the "benefit of doubt" and allowed to voice my side. I know that there are always two sides, but no one was willing to listen to what I had to say. Because of age discrimination I was harassed and when I raised my voice in a non-politically correct way, all hell broke loose. I have always voiced my concerns when backed into a corner or have had strong convictions about certain issues (see my current articles or writings on Zimbio pertaining to my concerns about illegal immigration and Islam). But instead of being run out of town as I was in 2005, I'm having my writings featured before a large audience. Had I thought that someone, anyone, just one person would have just extended a hand of friendship (support) during the last month of my employment (DPD) or during the last couple of years when I was facing the schoolyard bullies, maybe management could have seen what was going on.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> Zimbio in BusinessWeek’s Best of the Web २००६<br />I have just copied the front page of Zimbio ( <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/add/Non-Politically+Correct+View+of+America" rel="nofollow" _extended="true">http://www.zimbio.com/</a> ), where my wikizine (Web magazine) “Non-Politically Correct View of America’s Crisis” <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/add/Non-Politically+Correct+View+of+America" rel="nofollow" _extended="true">http://www.zimbio.com/Non-Politically+Correct+View+of+America's+Crisis</a> , is featured. (This honor is fleeting because of the number of incoming articles and new Wikizines)<br /><br /><br /><br />It is projected that up to 40 million visitors will access Zimbio in the coming year. This site (the wikizine -- an interactive magazine that anyone can create or edit.) covers the entire spectrum of news categories, current events, politics, science, personalities, religion, Hollywood and just about anything that people want to write about or read about. It is not a conservative or liberal site. However, a magazine (wikizine) with articles like mine, have a limited audience due to the fact that many people may not want to read about serious issues like mine. Most people want to read about positive topics; articles about illegal immigration and Islam are not popular. So to have my articles featured (my wikizine), tells me that my writings and topics must have caught the attention of the editors of Zimbio. I have also received praise from Helium, another site for up and coming writers, but I didn’t believe I stood a chance with Zimbio. I don’t receive monitory benefits for my work, but that is not important. Even though, I have scientific publications and presentations under my belt, to have recognition for my political commentary is very satisfying. Being retired, sitting at home until my wife gets home from work (I do workout and keep active) and with minimal contact, writing keeps my mind active and gives me a positive outlook on life.<br /><br />Patrick<br />If you want to give this to any one else, go ahead (maybe they will be relieved to know that I have taken up other activities and I'm not plotting to do anyone in Ha, Ha). Update - For anyone who doesn't like the last non-politically correct statement, how do you think I feel being labeled a monster, someone who is a threat waiting to materialize? I have to wear this label for the rest of my life. No time off for good behavior, no reprieve, no pardon and no statute of limitations. (added 4-10-08)<br /><br />I can now say that my Post Traumatic Stress is basically behind me. My name has been trashed and I will never get it back. I'm still looking for a job, but as time goes by, my age and the cloud that hangs over me, are against me. I have turned down a few chances at getting a job, in fear that the alleged "incident" would be discovered. Apparently, the concept of “schoolyard bullies” is now being looked at in this country. Back in 2005, Britain had laws against “schoolyard bullies” in the workplace and allowed employees to bring about a grievance (to HR) or in defense of alleged threats. One would think that after almost three years, I would get another chance (even a convicted criminal gets a second chance), but like a child predator, this allegation hangs around my neck like an albatross or the scarlet letter on my forehead. But I can now hear about a mass shooting and not go into a total panic, thinking that the SWAT team is out side my house. The nightmares are not as frequent. I still keep my ACLU card with their telephone number near by, for fear that I might run into one of my fellow former employees who are still willing to lie about what happened (or what was going to happen).Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-69495196562518022562008-03-15T21:19:00.000-07:002008-03-16T19:03:35.052-07:00Is Barack Obama the person to takeover the reins of the United States of America?I have been watching the throngs of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama">Barack Obama</a> supporters as they swell the political gatherings. They appear go be in the presence of the man that is going to take this country forward, to leave behind the shackles of the past. He is the champion to mend the divide between the races. The past is the past and the future leads to the land of milk and honey. Where a person’s creed, race and social, economic standing, will not stand in his or her way, in the new world of change. Obama is the vehicle of change that will erase all the injustices of the past. The white man can ease his conscience for the sins of his father and his father’s father. The black man can now standup and say it is time, time for the oppression of the black man to end. This country is now ready for a man of color to lead us all.<br /><br /><br /><br />So Obama is that man, his shining torch will lead the way. But what do we really know about this man. He is very successful, both he and his wife are highly educated and they appear to have the perfect family. The American dream that should be available to everyone apparently has been achieved by the Obamas.<br /><br /><br /><br />He has had a different upbringing than most African Americans. He was born in Hawaii to a white mother and a Kenyan Father. His <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-0703270151mar27,0,5157609.story">mother</a>, not an advocate of religion, was a self-proclaimed atheist nor was his father, a devoted Muslim. His parents divorced when Obama was of a very young age. Obama and his family went to Indonesia where Obama spent a few years in different schools. His racial make up would not have been an ethnic obstacle in his younger years in Hawaii or Indonesia. Through his stepfather, he was exposed to Islam. This was, by at times, going to the local Mosque with his stepfather and limited Islamic study at one of the schools that he attended. This all ended in 1971 when he brought to the United States.<br /><br /><br /><br />Obama was afforded an exceptional education at both Columbia University and Harvard Law School, were he excelled. Early on, he became a civil rights lawyer and worked in community affairs. He made his way into politics both in the Illinois State Senate and as the U.S. Junior Senator from Illinois in 2004. Here we are today, Obama one of the leading candidates for the Democratic Bid for the White House.<br /><br /><br /> Barack Obama and his wife are examples of how hard work can lead to the White House. In spite of the obstacles, many minorities have faced in the past; the present and the future appear to be brighter. So why are we hearing about their church minister and how he hates whites and this country is the curse of the earth? Recently, <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/03/09/michelle-obama-s-mean-america-statement-gets-nearly-free-media-pass">Michelle Obama</a> has made statements about this country that might be explained by the twenty years of exposure to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Wright">The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr</a>., pastor of Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. So is Michelle the window into the inner thoughts of Barack Obama? Has Barack Obama’s upbringing and long association with the likes of Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and others, created an anomaly contrary to the best interests of this country. Is he the person to takeover the reins of the United States of America?Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-72735172283902781282008-03-10T17:35:00.000-07:002008-03-13T06:12:56.567-07:00Adam the first human, the first Muslim<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fanswering-islam.org.uk%2FQuran%2FContra%2Ffirst_muslim.htm">The Muslims believe that Adam, “the first man” was the first Muslim</a>. According to some Muslims, <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fmforumsl%2Fkaaba.htm">Adam built the original Ka’ba</a> (seven to eight thousand years ago?). Hadiths and <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fanswering-islam.org.uk%2FShamoun%2Fcreationdays.htm">Muslim scholars</a> of that time, also said the age of the earth was about six or seven to eight thousand years old (similar to the age in the Old Testament). Because of what Western science has determined, Muslims now say the earth is 4.5 billion years old and you have to understand that the Qur’an meant (<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islamfortoday.com%2Femerick16.htm">Allah’s creation took six days</a>) 4.5 billion years, if you twist the words around. That makes the Ka’ba the oldest and best built building in the World. However, I do believe that there are now Muslims who believe as Western science believes, modern man came out of Africa a million years ago and/or a couple hundred thousand years ago. All you have to do is go back and look at the Qur’an and realize, time as it is today, was different back then (4.5 billion, one million, two hundred thousand or six thousand years ago?), that still makes the Ka’ba pretty old. You can’t beat Islamic science and technology back then or as it is in the world today. Also with the Ka’ba located in Mecca, why isn’t it located in Kenya Africa where modern Man first appeared?<br /><br /><br />Adam was the first human given the knowledge of Allah, but this knowledge was lost. According to Islam, the Old and New Testaments are also the Word of Allah but the Jews and the Christians (later) corrupted the books. Why did Allah allow this to happen? As stated in the Qur'an, Abraham (of the Old Testament) and Ishmael were commanded by Allah to rebuild the Ka’ba. The Ka'ba was the first place on earth appointed as a house of worship. Why didn't Allah command the Prophet Moses and his people, to go to Mecca? Why didn't the Prophet Jesus journey to Mecca during his lifetime? When the Qur’an was written after the Gospels, Jesus’ mother was said to be the sister (Miriam) of Moses. <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.answering-islam.de%2FMain%2FResponses%2FMenj%2Fsister_of_aaron.htm">The Qur’an confuses Mary, mother of Jesus, with Mary (Miriam), sister of Aaron and Moses</a>, in the Old Testament. But again this is to be taken symbolically; the Qur’an has no errors in it and you have to give the Qur’an some slack. It is the only book in the world that has no errors, it was written by Allah, right?<br /><br /><br />It is said by some, Muhammad and his followers wrote the Qur’an, they plagiarized the Testaments; they didn’t have any concept of time pertaining to the bible and mankind before civilization. When they were rewriting the bible (the Qur’an) they didn’t consult with Jewish and Christian scholars, was that a blunder or was it done on purpose? One can talk about the errors in the bible but the Muslims compounded the errors by plagiarizing the bible and putting their own slant (reformation) on the bible. They called the new uncorrupted version of God’s (Allah) message, “the Qur’an” and declared <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMuhammad">Muhammad the new Prophet</a>. Therefore, even though the Old Testament and the Gospels are also the Word of Allah, somehow Allah allowed the Jews and Christians to corrupt his word, they were evil and wicked people!<br /><br /><br />Isn’t convenient that the Christians got the story about the Prophet Jesus wrong. Jesus was not the Son of God but only a Prophet like Muhammad and a lesser Prophet. <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FNon-Politically%2BCorrect%2BView%2Bof%2BAmerica" rel="nofollow" _extended="true" url="'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leaderu.com%2Fisr%2Farticles_resources%2Fdidjesusdie.html">Jesus did not die on the cross</a>; he did not die for the sins of Man. If Jesus was only a man, but a man like Buddha, with insight as to what God is and how we should live our lives, he would be disappointed and sadden by what many Christians did in the name of God and mortified by the vulcanization, distortion and misrepresentation by Islam. You can point out that the Christians also made the Old Testament obsolete, so what Islam did to the Gospels was no different. However, the world doesn’t have 2 billion Christians threatening (maybe in the past), the world with submission, oppression and possible death. But it does have 1.4 billion Muslims looking to the day when Allah rules the World.<br /><br /><br />It is said that you can find the speed of light and the big bang theory in the Qur’an, if you twist the words around enough. The problem is, today, Islam is using modern Western science to validate the Qur’an at the expense of Western religion. If you are a Christian, you can’t view the world through modern science but if you are a Muslim, modern science is revealed in the Qur’an. As to the original messages and dates in the Torah (bible) and the Qur’an, the civilization of the Fertile Crescent didn’t emerge until after the last ice age of ten thousand years ago. So the time frames found in both Judaism and Islam are understandable, if one is using the texts as a moral compass but understand that Modern science is revealing the true age and nature of the Universe. Was there a cosmic intelligence that created the Universe and is this Universal Consciousness hardwired to each and every being on earth and the rest of the Universe? There are billion and billions of heavenly bodies in the vast universe. So what difference does it make what we call the Cosmic Consciousness, is it God or a number of Gods, is it male or female? As Man looks to the heavens, he has seen the face of god as Buddha, the Great Spirit, Jehovah, Allah, Jesus and other deities. But it is looking back on all of us without favoritism, for if there is a Cosmic Consciousness, it sees us all, as his children.<br /><br /><br />Man the highest form of life on earth and possibly the Universe is evolving, possibly evolving into the image of God. Man can now procreate in a test tube; he is unraveling the code of life. The creation of life might be in his grasp, death, as we know it may be altered. Man may some day travel and colonize the Universe. Earth may be the Garden of Eden and as we gain the knowledge of God, we may have to leave our earthly birthplace, as the earth is overpopulated and polluted. As Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, maybe the grand design is for man to populate other planets and colonize the Universe. Adam and Eve were not Muslims, they represent the first humans and like children, they were void of prejudges caused by religion.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-74209399099087151582008-02-14T20:48:00.000-08:002008-02-14T21:06:29.590-08:00The Band plays on as Sharia Law, marches into EuropeDanish police have uncovered a plot to kill one of the Danish cartoonists, involved in the illustrations of the Prophet Muhammad, two years ago.<br /><br />The above is just one of many recent examples, of Islamic followers willing to kill, in the name of Islam. Since the dawn of Islam, its followers have taken up the sword, to carry out the teachings of the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad. The act of killing without guilt or reflection is justified or a right, when there has been a violation of Sharia law or insult of Islam. The actions of the assassins have no international boundaries, even if it is not carried out in a Muslim country. To the zealots, Sharia Law is above all other laws.<br /><br />In the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad there is only one God, Allah and Sharia law. The people of the book (the Jews and the Christians) plus all other nonbelievers of the World are under the yoke of Islam. So why doesn’t the non-Muslim world see what is in store, if the Muslim world gets its way? One sees almost daily occurrences locally or internationally, where governments or communities are required to submit to the edicts of Islam. This goes beyond political correctness; Islam requires that the non-Muslim world submit to its way of life.<br /><br />The World has surpassed the achievements of the Golden Age of Islam. Western Science, Technology and Democracy have long surpassed the accomplishments of Islam. Is the World willing to step back in time, to a place and time of oppression and submission, to the laws of Islam?<br /><br />The changing of the guard is about to take place and no one is watching, so the band plays on, as we sink in the quagmire of Islamic domination.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-62948146467723477922008-02-03T23:10:00.000-08:002008-02-06T23:50:30.173-08:00Science and ReligionFrom the sixteenth century to the present time, men of the cloth or men of religious conviction have put forth scientific concepts, which were not always popular in religious circles. If these ideas had been successfully suppressed, Modern Western Society would not be as it is today.<br /><br />Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473 and lived until 1543. He was a Polish Catholic cleric, mathematician and astronomer; he is credited with putting forth the concept, of the planets revolving around the sun. Both Greek and Islamic astronomers influenced his work. The church did not attack his work at first. Galileo Galilei, renowned for his work in physics, mathematics and astronomy (father of modern science), supported Copernicus's theory. Galileo an Italian was born in 1564 and died in 1642. Even though he was a Roman Catholic, he advocated scientific ideas that were contradictory with church doctrine. His scientific work brought him criticism by the Catholic Church. Near the end of his life, he was put on trial for heresy. But the noble ideas of Man and Science prevailed. Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966) developed the modern day Big Bang Theory (the Universe started as an explosion of energy, space, time, and matter). Lemaitre was a Belgian mathematician and Catholic priest.<br /><br />Man's advancements of science and his personal religious beliefs can coexist. Because of Science, modern technology has transformed Mankind. Science and the concept of Democracy have freed man from the past and oppression.<br /><br />But the world finds itself in two camps, the clash of the Muslim world with the non-Muslim world. But like in the sixteenth century, there is a beacon of hope. A Pakistani Scientist by the name of Dr. Pervez Amirali Hoodbhoy, published an article entitled "Science and the Islamic world-The quest for rapprochement" (August 2, 2007). From the perspective of a Muslim Scientist, he addresses the relationship between today's Science and Islam. He speaks of the Golden Age of Islam, from the ninth to the thirteenth century. The Golden Age of Islam brought about major advances in the sciences, mathematics and medicine. Algebra, principles of optics, the human body’s circulation of blood, the naming of stars and the creation of schools of higher learning, were the results of Islam. He asks what will it take to bring science back into today’s Islamic world? He remarks, that it will require behavioral changes in Islamic philosophy and attitude. He further states, that the battle to reinstall Science will require a wider struggle, to replace non-compromising orthodoxy with modern thought, philosophy, the arts, pluralism and democracy.<br /><br />Speaking on my behalf, maybe this Jihad or struggle (for Science and the positive changes it brings about), will replace the Jihad of war, conquest and conversion. Maybe other voices of moderation exist in Islam, maybe the Islamic world and the non-Islamic world can co-exist. With temperance for all beliefs and nonbelievers.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-82322942379623910172008-01-15T11:30:00.000-08:002008-01-28T06:20:19.574-08:00The plagiarism and distortion of ChristianityRegardless if you believe in God or not, the recent attempt by a film from Iran to portray Jesus as only a Prophet and not the Son of God, is the latest effort by Islam to usurp Christianity. This film will not disturb agnostics or atheists. But two billion Christians will be concerned and the one billion or more Muslims will be delighted. The film "Jesus, the Spirit of God," by a Shia Muslim, won an award at the 2007 Religion Today Film Festival, in Italy. If this was a movie about Muhammad, there would be rioting in the streets and calls for the death of the people responsible for the film. In addition, according to many followers of Islam, images of the Prophets and Muhammad are not to be displayed. Yet, in this movie, Jesus who is also a Muslim Prophet is displayed throughout the movie. It appears at first to follow the gospels but portrays Jesus as a mortal man, sent by God, as a prophet and who did not die on the cross. So the movie is an out right distortion of Christianity if you believe in the gospels of the New Testament. Passages in the Koran appear to be plagiarisms and distortions of both the Old and New testaments. The Qur’an’s version about Isaac, Ishmael and Abraham is an endeavor to rewrite biblical history and set the foundation for the Prophet Muhammad.<br /><br />So like a quantum event in Science with infinite possibilities, this new reality was manifested in the seventh century, and all previous happenings in History did not take place. If a person is an agnostic then distorted biblical history is not a concern. But if a large group of people (one billion Muslims) believe in a religious dogma, that belief can be used to unite the masses and literally affect every other human being on the face of the earth. This distorted message in the movie about Jesus is also found in the original teachings of the Koran and is followed by both Sunni and Shia Muslims. Muhammad and his followers needed a religion to unite the tribes of Saudi Arabia so he plagiarized and distorted Christianity and Judaism to give it legitimacy. In his religion he is the last of the prophets. By doing this, he made Christianity and Judaism obsolete. From the onset of Islam, the message has been, that Muhammad is the last of the Prophets and his rendition of the true religion, is to be followed by Jews, Christians and other nonbelievers. The message of the movie, “there is a common bridge between Christianity and Islam”, appears to seek reconciliation but is the ongoing endeavor to replace Christianity with Islam. It is the latest effort by Muslims to convert nonbelievers to Islam.<br /><br />In the Koran, its primary purpose is the submission of the mind, body, soul of all of mankind. The sole purpose of Islam is to dominate the world. The means of this transformation is by conquest, Jihad, immigration, colonialization, birth rate and indoctrination of the masses by the Imams. The teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an, teach that Islam is the religion of submission and peace. But the word “peace” really means submission or surrender of the world, to Sharia Law (The law system inspired by the Koran and the Sunna). The word “tolerance” means third-class citizenship, for the people of the book (corrupted Jews and Christians) who are also known as apes and pigs. This demeaning name-calling is found in religious, educational and public dialogue, today throughout the Arab world. In the Islamic world, nonbelievers are Dhimmis and Muslims are not able to convert to other religions under the threat of death. The term “Dhimma” is used for non-Islamic people. So to Muslims, nonbelievers are Dhimmis, third-class citizens who are subject to Sharia Law (the blade is kept sharpened). The Imams, in Islamic schools called madrasi, indoctrinate Muslim youth in this perverted view of reality. Moderate and radical Muslims view the journey to this transformation differently, but in the end the results are the same.<br /><br />Islam is the most dangerous mind controlling dogma the world is facing today or ever has confronted. Politics and conquest have been removed from Christianity. Christianity no longer uses the sword to convert nonbelievers. Islam on the other hand, is based on conquest and submission. Islam has not adapted to the modern world. It is not a pure religion but a political dogma intertwined with religion. It enforces Sharia Law with the teachings of the Qur’an (Koran). There is no separation of religion and government. You cannot be a devout traditional Muslim without obeying Sharia Law. In this changing world of today, which is becoming more secular, is creating a vacuum that will be filled by Islam.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-10910093758616264982008-01-07T12:53:00.000-08:002008-02-02T10:47:38.128-08:00JihadThe followers of Islam point to the Crusades as their catalyst for defending their faith (Jihad). Much of the world has been under the threat of Jihad for over fourteen hundred years. In the sixth and seventh centuries, Europe made the final transformation from Roman Empire domination to the spreading of Christianity across the rest of Europe. The Western Roman Empire was reduced to the remaining Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople), modern day Istanbul Turkey. Muhammad, the founder of Islam was born in the sixth century. As Christianity was taking hold in Europe, Islam started its encroachment into Europe. For over 800 years Islam occupied many parts of Europe. In the eighth century, Moorish Muslims swept into the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). In Spain, Islam was finally repulsed in the fifteenth century. It was only in 1683, the final siege of Vienna, that spelled the decline of the Turkish Ottoman (Muslim) Empire in Europe. The West has nothing to apologize for, when it comes to Islam and the Crusades. The Muslims had captured Jerusalem in 1076. If the Muslims had not occupied the Christian Holy Lands, there would have never been any Crusades. The Crusades lasted from 1099 to 1291. The Muslims have used Jihad as an excuse for world domination since its inception. Islam preaches peace but rules by the sword. Christianity once ruled by the sword, but that day has passed. Islam has not nor will it ever give up the sword.<br /><br />One percent of one billion is ten million. Ten million radicalized Muslims. But from where do they recruit those ten million zealots. They are recruited from all walks of Islam. A large number are enlisted from the oppressed. But a number are also recruited from the middle classes. So if 10 out of 1000 (100 out of 10,000) are Jihadists, how many of the other Muslims are sympatric or would offer support? So 1,000 out of 100,000 or 10,000 out of 1,000,000 or about fifty thousand or more potential Jihadists here in the United States? If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, the zealots would not stop. As long as there are nonbelievers there will be zealots. Until the world is converted to Islam, there will be Islamic zealots. Only when the world is an Islamic state, an Islamic state that follows the beliefs of the Jihadist, will there be peace. Islam means peace but only when we are all under the sword of Muhammad. Like a festering sore that never completely goes away, radical Islam will always be just behind the curtains of the stage, ready to replace the Fat Lady.<br /><br />Sayyid Qutb an Egyptian is best known in the Muslim world. He wrote Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (1964) a call to action, to re-create a Qur’anic Muslim world. It is believed that his book is a manifesto used by the Jihadists. Sayyid Qutb came to the United States four years after WWII (1949) and studied at a small college in a northern Colorado. At the time, he was exposed to what would be considered a conservative life style (where alcohol was illegal), by today’s standards. Yet he was repulsed by the decadent ways of the West. So he went back to Egypt and wrote his manifesto, a foundation for today’s al Qaeda and other radical Islamic movements. To summarize, it is our non-Muslim lifestyle that is the justification for Islamic Jihadist world domination.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-31686587429227534822007-12-19T23:47:00.000-08:002007-12-21T08:59:06.092-08:00Representative Government and the bus driver, after 9/11The more things are different, the more they are the same. Events like 9/11 and December 7th, 1941 have impacted this country. However, as the psyche of this country changes over time, it appears we collectively, are willing to forget history. History is cyclic and if we don't learn from our past mistakes, then we will see more 9/11s. Our politicians appear to have their own agendas and are not looking out for the rest of us. Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration are interconnected. The security of this nation is dependent on sound policies for both these issues. Our politicians are willing to look the other way, as they play their parts, in the culture of "politics as usual".<br /><br />A plug nickel has two sides. It has an imaginary head's side and an imaginary tail's side. If you toss the plug into the air you will have a 50:50 chance of, either heads or tails, when it lands. It can also be viewed as having a left side and a right side. One side is the Politically Correct side and the other side is the Money side. The plug nickel is what it is, a plug nickel (worthless). Whatever political party is in charge is a gamble. In politics, it is politics-as-usual, good ol' boys (and girls) club. If you think things are going to change, when your party (congressmen and women) and candidate for president are elected, think again. Today, both political parties are filled with opportunists. The day has passed when we can send our neighbors to Congress, to represent us.<br /><br />It is as if we have chartered a bus. The bus is Representative Government and the bus driver is our Representatives. The problem is that the bus driver is drunk, drunk with power. The bus is now out of control and we are racing toward the edge of a precipice. Below is a quagmire of Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration, waiting to swallow us. As we cry out, the bus driver is telling us to shut up and sit down.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-59393776816821230872007-12-14T15:08:00.000-08:002008-02-26T15:25:16.024-08:00Will we all be speaking Spanish in the near future?This kid-glove approach to the illegal immigration dilemma is totally asinine. Some of us say that we are for building the fence, troops on the border, deporting illegal immigrant felons. In addition, maintaining English as the language of this country and having illegal immigrants pay taxes. But there are those who are against any restraints or negative stimulus to encourage illegal immigrants to go back to Mexico or other countries south of the border. If the illegal immigrants were coming from Ireland or Scotland, I would be protesting their intrusion. I have a Celtic surname but I don’t speak Celtic (Gaelic). I’m proud of my heritage but I’m an American first and Scottish second.<br /><br />The Southern border fence is not going to be built any time in the near future.<br /><br />There will never be enough troops put on the border to keep all of the Illegal immigrants out.<br /><br />Deporting illegal immigrant felons after they assault, maim and kill US citizens is not going to keep our citizens safe.<br /><br />Sending the message, that we don’t want them here illegally by legal restraints and legal negative stimulus, will discourage some of them from staying here.<br /><br />No more sanctuary cities, anchor babies, or free handouts. No more working in this country or going to school, without a green card.<br /><br />When was the last time you looked at all of the Spanish language TV and radio stations? When was the last time you were ask if you speak English or Spanish, when trying to place a telephone call in this country? Have you tried to order something at a fast food drive-in and your order was messed up because they didn’t speak English?<br /><br />With all of the false documents out there, how do we know who is paying their taxes, driving without proper documentation (and insurance) or who is voting and is not a US citizen?<br /><br />We are in state of flux, there are already millions of illegal immigrants in the country and the rate of illegal intrusions is not going to change or may even go up. Are we naïve enough to believe that we can absorb millions upon millions of illegal immigrants, without this country losing it’s identify. IF you are part of the elitist of this country, even you and your friends will not be able to hold back the tide of change, behind the walls of your gated communities, if the situation is not held in check.<br /><br />None of the above solutions (fences, troops and etc.) by themselves are going to solve the problem. However, if we implement all or most of the solutions maybe in their totality, we can put a dent in the illegal immigration problem. The Native Americans helplessly watched their demise, as the hordes of immigrants from Europe swarm across their sacred lands. They lost their identity, cultures, lands, languages, religions, governments, nations and even their native existence as a race of tribal people. Today, their numbers in this country are on the verge of none existence. Is this the same fate that you want to pass on to your children’s children?<br /><br />We live in harmony, side by side with our present legal Hispanic neighbors. Many of them have a long history in this country. I’ve had close friendships with a number of Hispanics and I am aware of their peoples’ struggles in this country. One friend owns land in Southwest Colorado, which was part of the Spanish land grants (going back to the seventeenth century). The other friend was from California and his Spanish heritage also goes back to the seventeenth century. My stepsister’s husband’s surname is Spanish and his family has a long history in Colorado and New Mexico. I have another sister whose daughter is also married to a Hispanic. On my wife’s side, she has family that is Hispanic. Our next-door neighbor for over twenty years was an Aztec Indian from Mexico. He spoke fluent English and so did my other Hispanic friends and family. This doesn’t mean that they were not also fluent in Spanish. But if we don’t do something soon, about the influx of illegal immigrants, the language of the land will become Spanish.<br /><br />Adios mi amigo y muchas gracias por tu tiempo, yo hablo espanol un poco.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-14740510070391841792007-11-17T23:40:00.000-08:002007-12-11T13:28:19.901-08:00The raised arm of the Statue of Liberty holding the torch of FreedomWe are witnessing in our own lifetime the beginning of the end of our culture. Our children’s children will grow up in a Latino dominated society. If you are not Latino then you are a Gringo. If you are African American, European extract, Hispanic, Asian, Native American or any other ethnic group in the current diverse melting pot, you and your family will be transformed into world of the "La raza cósmica". However, the Latino bronze people "la raza de bronce” will dominate and control the entire society. The language, culture and laws of Latin America will dominate. Latin America will extend from the tip of South America to the Canadian Arctic. The Anglo-Saxon or Germanic peoples will disappear; the African Americans, Asians, Native Americans and others will become isolated minorities. Los Estados Unidos de Américas will expand two continents and the Caribbean Islands.<br /><br />What we are looking at is a multifaceted concerted endeavor to transform this country into a nation-less landscape, as part of a mega-country without borders from South America to Canada. Bush might be leading the charge but thousands of Americans, businesses, state governments, city governments and both political parties are complicit in the repopulation of this country, with Latino cheap labor and corridors of migration. This is happening all across this country. These entities because of the almighty dollar, rejuvenation of rural areas, a new voting block, globalization and etc., are willing to look the other way, as this country becomes a Spanish speaking culture. It is not only Bush and both political parties who are willing to sell their souls but countless individuals and enterprises. In my take of the future “In the Year 2030”, I speak of the mass migration from the Southern border and how this sets the groundwork for Middle Eastern fundamentalists, to establish Sharia Law after the US Constitution is eradicated. At minimum, the future of this country entails the possible disintegration, into balkanized regions of different cultures and languages.<br /><br />Europe also faces the crisis of its life; birth rates are declining, immigrant Muslim populations are exploding, and the cradle of Christianity seems to have lost the will to survive. Europe is unable to face the life-and-death challenges that now confront it. These considerations, obviously, have implications much larger than Europe.<br /><br />The USA is starting to see the implications of Sharia Law and encroachment of Islam in this country. We are busy fighting radical Islam from afar, but not securing our borders. Once Islam gets a foothold in this country it will spread like cancer. With the Southern border infiltration by the Latino culture and language, our very existence is at stake. Like Europe, we have multiple (not unlike Rome of old) forces attacking us. The forces are the Latino culture, the Islamic culture and Secularism from within. Without a strong moral foundation, a civilization implodes and the barbarians rush in. When Czarist Russia fell the Communists did not lead the charge, they came in after the fact. This is what is going to happen here, first the Latino transformation followed by Islam taking over. As with Communist Russia or Nazi Germany, it takes only a small percent of the population to gain control. Not by outright force, but by using their constitutional rights to overthrow the government.<br /><br />Our country is now moving into the next chapter. It is now the dawn of something that we are just starting to clearly see. No matter how hard we resist, the deeper we sink into the quagmire. Like in the “Planet of the Apes”, the partially buried body of the Statue of Liberty (holding the torch symbolizing Freedom), will be all that remains of our society.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-49771022554677324112007-11-16T14:38:00.000-08:002007-12-02T00:09:13.365-08:00Limited room in the lifeboatWe are in this lifeboat (called the USA) that has only limited room and to survive, we have to limit the number of people. If we don’t, our culture will disappear.<br /><br />I was born in Hawaii. Before the end of WWII my mother brought me to the States. While on our sea voyage, we were under constant threat of attack by submarines. A Japanese torpedo (two days outside of San Francisco) hit the other troop transport ship. The submarine surfaced and machine-gunned the survivors. My father, who was in the Navy at the time, was back on the Island of Oahu (Honolulu, Hawaii). My grandfather had been taken prisoner on Wake Island by the Japanese and later died in Japan. My grandfather on my mother’s side was a tall blond of German stock. Had he been born in Nazi Germany, he would have probably been an example of the so-called super race. But he was born in the USA and went on to be singled out because of his ethnicity, by the Japanese. Racists come in many varieties, my grandfather’s executioner happen to be Japanese. My Celtic surname translated into English, means black or dark stranger. My father and I are short and stocky with dark brown hair. So my father who later had his naval vessel blown out from under him and my grandfather who died in Japan, were victims of the racist policies of Imperil Japan, during WWII. My mother and grandmother had been left by themselves, on the Island of Oahu (Honolulu), for most of the war. My mother has stories of how it was to be one of two lone women with a baby, stranded in a war zone, under martial law. The night of December 7th 1941, my mother and grandmother were going to comment suicide if the Japanese had landed on the Island. They knew what the Japanese had done to women and children in China. The next day they fled into the interior, avoiding the military troops who had orders to shoot to kill. Luckily, they were able to return home without being discovered by the roadblocks. During the rest of the war, they saw death a number of times. <br /><br />Before the war, my mother and her parents lived on Maui. My mother grew up on a sugar plantation. They lived a life not to far removed from the plantations in the South before the American Civil War. They didn’t have slaves but the non-whites were subclasses and my mother and her parents had servants. My grandfather fraternized with the locals and was considered a rebel by some of the other whites. My father, who was in the Navy before and during the war, met my mother on Maui. I was born on Oahu about two months after the Japanese attacked Pear Harbor. So my parents lived in Paradise before it was destroyed by the War. However, I don’t think that the locals and other nonwhites viewed it the same way as the whites. I have been back to Hawaii and to other Pacific Islands (Guam), several times and it appears that the aboriginal peoples are slowly reclaiming some of their heritage.<br /><br />So in some ways like my grandfather and my father, I sometimes champion the underdog. But at the same time, we have to face that we are under siege and we have to be vigilant. There are forces that want to put our nation in peril. The ocean is filled with dangers and the sharks are circling. There will be a point when taking on more survivors could swamp the lifeboat. Being the Good Samaritan could endanger all of us regardless of what ethnic group we belong to.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-71289287670068955292007-11-16T14:19:00.000-08:002007-12-11T21:32:07.117-08:00TimeAs with all in the ebb of time, there is a beginning and an ending. No man, Nation or even the Universe, can escape Time. The two universal constants are motion and change. Nothing remains anchored in time or escapes the ravages of time. We have reached the pinnacle and our nation and society are in the throes of late middle age of life. Within a short period of time, our nation will fall into the pit of once expansive and mighty empires. As with all that germinates and blossoms, the petals are starting to wilt. The party is over but the partygoers (the American people) are in a state of denial and continue in revelry. Expansive buffalo herds once stretched across the plains and the Native Americans lived off the land, but their time has come and gone. We as a Nation were a great civilization. We made mistakes but overall our Nation will be remembered in History, as one of the best. The fat lady is about to sing and the next act is about to start. Time is supreme and nothing stands in its way. If there is a God then it must be time (Father Time).Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-1908088241404703092007-11-16T14:10:00.000-08:002007-11-25T20:50:24.557-08:00Is time going to pass us by?The USA like all Empires has a beginning and an ending. The conquest and colonization of the Americas by the Europeans was completed in less than four hundred years. The Expansion of the USA into the Pacific and parts of the Caribbean and Latin America continued into the last part of the nineteenth century. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the USA was reaching into the rest of the world. Like Europe, The USA at times, used conquest and colonization to satisfy its appetite. After WWII the USA became a major player in the world. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the USA has become the New Rome. Like Rome, the USA has now reached the point of implosion. Not unlike Rome, we are inviting cheap labor and migration to replace our population and at the same time, outsourcing. We are no longer a nation of productivity but a country of consumption. There are external forces wanting to surpass us or even engulf and replace our way of life. Internally we are losing our moral fabric. All that counts is the all might dollar and materialism. We now spend our leisure time watching gladiators performing in coliseums. Family has less meaning and we are becoming more secular.<br /><br />We don’t have to ponder the future; all we have to do is look at what happened in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the beginning of the Dark Ages. Islam is on the move again, here in the USA and Europe. The Latino Culture is reclaiming vast regions of this country. What this country is going to look like in the next twenty to forty years is not a mystery, if we stop and look around, we know what is coming.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-6941735215768163622007-11-16T07:00:00.000-08:002007-12-05T22:55:28.914-08:00Earlier Clash of Civilizations.This nation is facing a crisis because of illegal immigration and the Islamic intrusion. But Columbus Day points to an earlier clash of civilizations. Having been in the Navy (in the sixties) and spent time in the Mediterranean, I saw a replica of the Santa Maria (Christopher Columbus’s flag ship). Also being of Celtic extract and spent time in Ireland and Oban Scotland (the home of my clan), I am aware of the English abuses of the Celtic peoples of the British Isles. I sent time on the Caribbean Islands of Nevis and Saint Kitts (named after Columbus). My wife worked on the Island of Saint Kitts. The two Islands are rich in the history of the colonization of the western world. Columbus sighted Nevis in 1493 (on his second voyage to the New World). He called it Las Nieves, Spanish for snows, because its mountains reminded him of the snow-capped range in the Pyrenees. Thomas Jefferson’s grandfather owned a sugar plantation on Saint Kitts. Alexander Hamilton was born on Nevis. The last battles of the American Revolution were fought in the area; in 1782 Brimstone Hill fortress (on Saint Kitts) fell to the French. The Kalinago Indians allowed the first Europeans (English and French) to colonize Saint Kitts. Excerpts taken from: Saint Kitts and Nevis- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. All earlier attempts to settle other islands were met with immediate destruction of the colonies by the Indians. The Kalinagos (known as Caribs by the Europeans) were eventually completely wiped out on Saint Kitts, in the great Kalinago Genocide of 1626. I spent time walking through the ruins of 17th century sugar cane plantations on Saint Kitts, where Indian slaves labored before the introduction of African slaves. I also walked on the beaches of the eastern side of Nevis, possibly where the native people, first sighted the small wooden Spanish ships.<br /><br />As bad as the Spanish treated the native populations in their colonies (South America, Central America and Mexico), not all English colonists were saints in North America. At first the Native Americans and the Pilgrims (of present day Plymouth, Massachusetts), worked together to till and plant the first successful crops. Excerpts taken from Duane A. Cline 2006 (The Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony: 1620). The first feast of Thanksgiving (another national holiday now protested by Native Americans), in October of 1621, was a harvest festival filled with fellowship, good food and games. The Pilgrims had a deep and sincere friendship for the natives. But the peace born of mutual support and trust eventually eroded. The small pox epidemic of 1633-34-swept away thousands Native Americans and made more land available for the English. Full-scale war eventually erupted between the increasing number of colonists and the Indians. The following are excerpts from: Anglo-Powhatan Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In Virginia, in the Tidewater War of 1644-1646, Indian attacks enraged the English colonists who then launched raids on Indian villages, nearly destroying the Powhatan people. The peace treaty in 1646 erased any hope of the colonists and Native Americans being able to peacefully coexist. The Native Americans were displaced from their ancestral lands and the reservation system began. So like the Kalinago Genocide of 1626 on Saint Kitts, the English (illegal immigrants in the eyes of the Indians) replaced the native populations.<br /><br />The English colonies became the USA and the colonization and displacement of the Native Americans continued. The Indian Wars of the West were the last efforts by the native peoples to resist from being driven from their lands. The Trail of Tears, (plus the Sand Creek and the Wounded Knee massacres) and the Nes Prece (Chief Joseph) fight for freedom, are only a few examples of Native American resistance and defeat. The butcher of Sand Creek, John M. Chivington, appeared on a Denver stage where he delighted audiences with his war stories and displayed 100 Indian scalps, including the pubic hairs of women and was honored with a widely attended parade through the streets of Denver just two weeks after the massacre. Taken from excerpts of PBS - The West - John M. Chivington. So Denver is the right place to protest Columbus Day. After all, these are the same streets Native American scalps and female parts were proudly displayed by Chivington’s troopers in 1864.<br /><br />So if Martin Luther King lead protests in Birmingham why isn’t right for Indians to protest Columbus Day in Denver? After all, Columbus opened the floodgates of the largest colonization and displacement of aboriginal peoples the world has seen since the beginning of civilization. The Native American lost of life due to disease, famine, slavery and warfare in the Americas was in the tens of millions. As bad as African slavery was with the lost of life in the millions due to disease, slavery and murder; look at the present populations of African Americans and Native Americans. Today where are the vast concentrations of Native Americans, compared to African Americans? What sports do Native Americans dominate, where are the Native American politicians, and other Native American Leaders. As bad as it is for African Americans in this country, they have Africa to identify as their ancestral origin and black Africans now largely control Africa.<br /><br />The Americas are lost forever to the Native Americans. They are the invisible people, like the buffalo, they had to be eradicated. They had no value; at least the African slave had value.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-3209113261448489582007-11-16T05:53:00.000-08:002007-11-16T06:22:30.454-08:00So like Nero, we fiddle while Rome burns.We as a people, as a nation, as the leader of the western world, are witnessing the beginning of the end of our place in History, as one of the great civilizations. Western civilization as we know it is about to change.<br /><br />The population of the world has reached critical mass. Globalization, greed, economic changes, outsourcing, the migration of the third world, availability of food and water, environmental pollution, the changing climate and the spread of Islam are about to clash. It is as if the earth is a biosystem, a living entity that is about to dislodge humanity or reduce its numbers. Humanity is but a moment in the march of time, the Universe and this planet were here long before man and will be here long after man.<br /><br />Change is a constant and normally we can’t see beyond today. We are at that point in time where the future has been laid out before us and we don’t like the cards that we have been dealt so like Nero, we fiddle while Rome burns.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-89953727785006620052007-11-14T21:37:00.000-08:002007-11-27T22:38:28.220-08:00Illegal ImmigrationThe film "A Day Without a Mexican” is a 2004 low budget film about the disappearance of all the illegal immigrants (Mexicans) from California. It portrays the Anglos (anyone who is not Hispanic or of French descent) and all others as bigots and totally dependent on the illegal immigrants. It is a propaganda film “at best” and a concerted effort to keep the borders open and possibly planting the seeds of “recolonisation”. It points out that all of the states in the West and South West were at one time part of Mexico. Apparently the film is popular in California and Texas. In addition, it does not deal with Home Land Security.<br /><br />You can’t beat a birth rate. At the present rate of illegal immigration, anchor babies and growth of the legal Latino population in this country, the day is coming when the US will be a “Latin American Country”. I am not talking about a culture base on the Founding Fathers, but on a “Spanish” speaking people, “Latin American Country”. Where in the Hispanic countries of this hemisphere do you find a country close to our values? We don’t live in a perfect country and our country’s history is filled with injustice. But compared to the rest of the world, we have the best government and nation. Many of the Hispanics coming to this country are seeking a better life, but if they don’t assimilate and are not kept at a reasonable rate of growth, the excess baggage (corruption and poverty) that they bring with them will overtake this country. Do we want our children and grandchildren to live in a country of five hundred million people dominated by the values of Latinos such as Hugo Chavez or other leftist leaders? What about the old dictators like Juan Peron or the corrupt governments of Mexico? What about the poverty? No middle class, unabated crime, drugs, prostitution of children and the killing of young girls. The United States of America is heading down the road of a “Third World Country”. Are we as a people going to standby as our leaders (both the Democrats and Republicans) sell their souls for the “ Latino vote” and the corporate dollar made off of “Latino cheap labor”?<br /><br />We have to proactively take back our country at the ballot box, close the borders (with the military and/or a fence) and remove the incentive for illegal immigrants to easily find work without proper documentation. Adapt some kind of seasonal and/or limited visiting work permits (agreement by both the US and Mexico by which Mexican laborers would obtain work permits in Mexico before entering the US). Penalize and incarceration of US employers who break the law by hiring undocumented workers. Apply the same laws to illegal immigrants as are applied to US citizens (plus deportation when required). In addition, pass or enact laws forbidding illegal immigrants access to free medical care and other services now afforded to illegal immigrants (other than for humane purposes or through the visiting work permits). The application of the Fourteen Amendment, as it was originally designed. Review the guidelines for legal immigration such as quotas and require assimilation of legal immigrants (learning English and etc.).<br /><br />IF we don’t take action now before it is to late, then we will become a balkanized country ripe for an uncertain future.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-59949908085383879752007-11-14T21:05:00.000-08:002007-11-27T10:51:07.055-08:00The Invisible PeopleI have a culture and country that I can look back to for my identity. The Native American has no country or land that he can call his own. I have gone to Scotland and went through some of the castles my clan built. The Scots were conquered by the English but the Scots now have control of their own destiny and have their own identity.<br /><br />The Native Americans are a conquered people who will never be a major player again in this country. All they want is to preserve their identity. In the first part of the twentieth century, the Indian children were taken from the tribes and put into government boarding schools. They had to dress like the white man. They were not allowed to speak their native tongue. They were stripped of their identity, dignity, cultures, and lands. How would that be any different than if after World War II if we had forced the Japanese people to give up their culture, their language and religion, to have colonized Japan (displaced them with Europeans). Remember Japan invaded the USA (Hawaii).<br /><br />The Native American was vanquished by our forefathers because they thought that the Red Man was subhuman, a savage. The land was for the taking, the European was superior, we had firearms and we didn’t care how many Indians died. Colonization, slavery, disease, displacement and the gun took its toll on the Native American.<br /><br />Throughout history, many cultures and races have been subjected to slavery, conquest and displacement but in addition, the original peoples of the Americas were nearly eradicated. Today they are the invisible people, a conquered people, subjected to unemployment, poverty, suicide, and alcoholism.<br /><br />Take the time to look at the wind blown prairies, the mountains, the forests and wetlands; you just might see the spirit of a once proud people. I read in an article that in the near future the full-blooded Native American (in this country), will fade into history.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-19266865663519385062007-11-14T20:49:00.000-08:002007-12-03T21:02:04.963-08:00Why is modern man a Kaleidoscope and what are the consequences?There are many factors that result in the disparities between cultures and ethnicity. Science says that modern man originated in Kenya. The African ancestry of the human race is now generally accepted as a fact. Dr. Eric Higgs, of Cambridge University has made a study of the migration of ancient men, and claims that the first man of Europe came to the continent from central and east Africa about 200,000 years ago. Professor Chester Chard, of the University of Wisconsin, has studied the routes of early men who left Africa to colonize the rest of the world, and he has concluded that there were four prehistoric migration routes from Africa to Europe. Other evidence suggests modern man evolved independently at several sites much earlier including Africa, China and Indonesia. Homo Sapiens, Modern Man, exists from 100,000 B.C. to present time, and many say he is well established in Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Australia at this time. Homo Sapiens appears to have emerged and spread throughout the world from two primary sources, South East Asia (Mongoloid) and Africa (Negroid) during the Pleistocene age (600,000 to 10,000 B.C.). Genetic research seems to support this two subspecies of modern man theory. The Y chromosome studies in men suggest modern Europeans migrated to Europe from central Asia and the Middle East in two major waves of migration.<br /><br />By 12,000 years ago at the latest, human populations had spread into most of the habitable regions of the globe, including Australia and North and South America. With the aid of their flexible, rapidly evolving cultures, these groups, loosely organized, as small bands of "hunter-gatherers," were able to adapt to virtually all the climate zones and environmental niches on the planet, from the Arctic to temperate zones to the tropics. According to the publication “Agricultural Revolution”, Washington State University.<br /><br />Human history's most important event since the last Ice Age was the first rise of agriculture in Southwest Asia's Fertile Crescent. The origin of agriculture triggered a long train of economic, political, and technological developments, which began there and spread outward. According to the publication –Location, Location, Location: The First Farmers, by Jared Diamond.<br /><br />The first farmers spread agriculture across the globe; they also sowed seeds for most of today's languages, researchers from UCLA and the Australian National University conclude in the most up-to-date survey of research in the field. Because food production conferred enormous advantages on farmers compared to hunter-gatherers, it triggered outward dispersals of farming populations, bearing their languages and lifestyles," added co-author Peter Bellwood, an ANU professor of archaeology. "Over time, the farmers' languages tended to replace the languages of the hunter-gatherers whom they encountered."<br /><br />In conclusion, the people who remained in Sub-Saharan Africa were not subjected to the same climate changes as those who left. They remained hunter-gatherers. Those who migrated had to adapt. Necessity is the mother of invention. Today's ethnic diversity and socio-economic disparities (and problems) are the result of the adaptation to different climates and resulting ethnic pigment differences.<br /><br />But is the above conclusion totally true? In the last five thousand or so years, other major factors have contributed to the makeup of Mankind. Explosive population growth, the development of civilizations, war, conquest, slavery and colonization have all brought about changes in the original indigenous populations, that were established before Civilized Man came on the scene. While many aboriginal peoples have been reduced or eradicated, new ethnicities have evolved through the mixing and procreation of the vanquished and the conquerors. But in reality there are not different races, only the Human Race (Mankind). Genetically there is only one human species; modern humans are generally genetically the same.<br /><br />According to Professor Stanley H. Ambrose, the last glacial period was preceded by 1000 years of the coldest temperatures of the Late Pleistocene, apparently caused by the eruption of the Mount Toba volcano. The six-year long volcanic winter and 1000-year-long instant Ice Age that followed Mount Toba's eruption may have decimated Modern Man's entire population. Genetic evidence suggests that Human population size fell to about 10,000 adults between 50 and 100 thousand years ago. The survivors from this global catastrophe would have found refuge in isolated tropical pockets, mainly in Equatorial Africa. Populations living in Europe and northern China would have been completely eliminated by the reduction of the summer temperatures by as much as 12 degrees centigrade.<br /><br />Volcanic winter and instant Ice Age may help resolve the central but unstated paradox of the recent African origin of Humankind: if we are all so recently "Out of Africa", why do we not all look more African?<br /><br />Because the volcanic winter and instant Ice Age would have reduced populations levels low enough for founder effects, genetic drift and local adaptations to produce rapid changes in the surviving populations, causing the peoples of the world to look so different today. In other words, Toba may have caused Modern Races to differentiate abruptly only 70,000 years ago, rather than gradually over one million years. (Extract from "Journal of Human Evolution" [1998] 34, 623-651), by Professor Stanley H. Ambrose of the Department of Anthropology, University Of Illinois, Urbana, US.<br /><br />Since then, ice sheets (Ice Ages) have been advancing and retreating. The end of the last Ice Age (10.000 years ago) and resulting Global Warming ushered in the establishment of Mankind becoming the major player on Earth. Even though this planet is in a state of continual change, Man like no other current species of life (other than bacteria and viruses), appears to be a major contributor to the ecosystem of Earth. The earth is in a constant state of upheaval and cyclic change (so is our solar system and the Universe). So will Man help bring about Global Warming or another Ice Age? Only time will tell. But without a clean environment, Man in his present genetic composition, might not be able to continue to live on Planet Earth. Maybe with genetic engineering changes, Mankind could adapt to a harsh environment and not perish. But then Man would be again changing his appearance and socio-economic ramifications, to meet the climate and environmental challenges. Man may have to step out into space and onto other celestial bodies, to maintain his species. But then Man would have to adapt to new solar and environmental conditions (plus gravitational differences and different atmospheres) and over time, genetically evolve into different intelligent life forms (non-human alien races). Time and Change are the controllers of the Universe. And what or who controls Time and Change?Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-8565594205022625752007-11-14T20:37:00.000-08:002008-01-28T06:31:36.121-08:00Islam and Christianity TodayThere have been several television cable programs, about what is taught to the Islamic masses by the Imams. It is evident that young Islamic people are being brainwashed with hate. The Soviet Union (Russia) and Nazi Germany indoctrinated their youth. Both countries were able to gain power, without the majority of their countrymen supporting Stalin and Hitler. But once the winds of change started to blow, there was no way of stopping the “Grim Reaper”.<br /><br />Beginning in the Seventh Century, the tentacles of Islam reached across much of the known world. Today, Islamic Jihadists are on the move again. The sword of Muhammad spread early Islam. The sword of Rome, not the teachings Jesus, spread Christianity. Today, Christianity does not use the sword for conversion. Islam following the teachings of Muhammad requires submission of nonbelievers. Muslims cannot convert to another religion, under threat of death. Muhammad on his deathbed cursed both the Jews and the Christians. It is said that Jesus forgave those who crucified him.<br /><br />Today, the Christian Reformation has the teachings of Jesus to guide its followers. Islam has no reformation to follow. The reason is because unlike the teachings of Jesus, the teachings of Muhammad have no tolerance for nonbelievers or Muslims who go astray. Once the Islamic Imams get hold of the Islamic youth, there will be no difference between the Jihadists and moderate Muslims. Today, the Jihadists have the time, a high birth rate and indoctrination to increase their numbers as they follow the teachings of Muhammad, in their conquest of the world.<br /><br />Osama Bin Laden declared war on the USA after we sent troops to protect Saudi Arabia (1991). Apparently the Prophet on his deathbed also said that nonbelievers were not allowed in the Muslim holy lands. Sayyid Qutb an Egyptian is best known in the Muslim world for his work on the social and political role of Islam. He wrote Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (1964) a call to action, to re-create a Qur’anic Muslim world. It is believed that his book is a manifesto used by the Jihadists.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-32795331098842032632007-11-14T20:07:00.000-08:002007-11-27T09:49:44.328-08:00Peace on Earth and Goodwill (tolerance) to All MenThe teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an, teach that Islam is the religion of submission and peace. But the word “peace” really means submission or surrender of the world, to Sharia Law (The law system inspired by the Koran and the Sunna). The word “tolerance” means third-class citizenship, for the people of the book (Jews and Christians), (now includes other religions). The term “Dhimma” is used for non-Islamic people. So to Muslims, nonbelievers are Dhimmis, third-class citizens who are or will be subjected to Sharia Law. Dhimmis are allowed to practice their religions, subject to certain conditions. They are allowed to enjoy some measure of autonomy and are guaranteed personal protection, in return for paying tribute and acknowledgment of Muslim supremacy.<br /><br />A non-Muslim cannot bring evidence against a Muslim in a Muslim court of law. Islam does not recognize other non-Islamic legal systems because of its goal to spread Islam worldwide. There will be no difference between a moderate Muslim and a radical Muslim; this is the way it will be under an Islamic World State.<br /><br />In the Islamic world of the future, the nonbelievers will be Dhimmis and Muslims will not be able to convert to other religions under penalty of death (as it is in some countries today). Muslim women will be subjected to a class below Muslim men (as it is in many countries now). Sharia Law will apply to all (the blade is kept sharpened). The means of this transformation will be by conquest, Jihad, immigration, colonialization, birth rate and indoctrination of the masses by the Imams. Not unlike in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia of the Twentieth Century, the youth are indoctrinated (now by the Imams) in Islamic schools (madrasi). Moderate and radical Muslims view the journey to this transformation differently, but in the end the results will be the same. What a Muslim says to a non-Muslim is not what he means or says when he is conversing with another Muslim, pertaining to the same subject matter. In the Muslim World, there is no right or wrong, only the word of Allah and his Messenger.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394624629838468215.post-6467328621443909962007-11-14T18:02:00.000-08:002007-11-27T10:30:17.670-08:00OUR FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS ARE IN JEOPARDYNext on the list of the New World Order and the Politically Correct Left, will be our freedom of speech and the right to have arms.<br /><br />Before the dawn of civilization, someone has had to rule the masses. In order to be in control, the guy in charge of the cave had to have the biggest club. Later on, it was decided that only certain people could be armed. So in the Middle Ages, knights rode around with their swords and battle-axes. If you were a peasant, well then all you could do was stay out of sight in order to stay alive. In 1775, farmers in the New England Colonies took up arms against armed British troops.<br /><br />Now for some two hundred and twenty years, we have had a Constitution, plus The Bill of Rights comprising the first ten amendments, to the Constitution. There have been some roadblocks along the way, but the Country is now a decent place for its citizens. The First Amendment gives us the rights for freedom of speech and separation of church and state. The Second amendment gives us the right to bear arms. But if a culture or civilization, such as ours is going to be forced to give up its rights for freedom of speech, separation of church and state then the right to bear arms will be the first to go.<br /><br />The New World Order crowd and the Politically Correct Left agendas are going to transform this nation into a Nation of “have and have-nots”, without any say by the people, as to where we as a Nation are going. Our language, culture and the very existence of our country, are being stripped from us. Outside forces and the fifth column (from within) are in the driver’s seat and we are along for the ride.

It lays the foundation for Islam. The Qur’an talks about Isaac, Ishmael and Abraham but where are the pre-Islamic scrolls; houses of worship or other organized structured pre-Muhammad teachings of Allah and the coming of Muhammad. There may have been some teachings of the story of Abraham and his sons and a convoluted version of the life of Abraham that some of the tribes of Saudi Arabia passed down over time. There may have been talk about a prophet, but the Old Testament talks about a number of prophets (not Muhammad). In Mecca, the Muslims have the Kaaba (with the black stone) as their holiest Shrine. It is said to be their direct connection to Abraham and Ishmael but the site is also said to go back to Adam. The site was used for pagan worship most of its existence before Muhammad. There were some Monotheists (Jews and Christians) but the tribes of Saudi Arabia had no united structure. There was no central government, only tribal laws. The rest of the known world had gone through a series of civilizations.<br /><br />Present day Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria and part of Turkey were the birthplace of civilization. Islam is a counterfeit version of the old and new testaments. It is a convoluted version. The Qur’an of the Seventh Century conveniently had all its pre-Muhammad history added to it at the time the Qur’an was written. It was able to summarize two thousands years of pre-Islamic nonexistence history. Not unlike Judaism and Christianity, the Seventh Century Qur’an doesn’t have any revolutionary revelations about the true nature of the Universe (the big bang or quantum mechanics), even though modern day Muslim scientists try to validate the Qur’an with statements that the sciences are found in the Qur’an. Its primary purpose is the submission of the mind, body, soul and politics into the world order of Islam. Regardless if you believe in God or not, the sole purpose of Islam is to dominate the world. It has been this way since its conception and will be this way until the last Muslim Imam draws his last breath.<br /><br />Where as Emperor Constantine used Christianity to unite the peoples in the Roman Empire, so did Muhammad use the Qur'an to unite the tribes of Saudi Arabia. He took from Christianity (his wife was a Christian), Judaism, folklore about Abraham and the old religion of moon worship and came up with Islam. He needed a religion to unite the people so he plagiarized Christianity and Judaism to give it legitimacy. But in his religion he is the last of the prophets. By doing this, he made Christianity and Judaism obsolete. The Dome of the Rock was built to replace Judaism with Islam. One of the largest mosques in Europe is in Rome. The City of Istanbul was once Constantinople, the seat of the Eastern (Christian) Rome Empire (Emperor Constantine) and later the Byzantine (Christian) Empire. Islam’s sole purpose is to replace both Christianity and Judaism with Islam. And at the same time, use Christianity and Judaism to give Islam legitimacy.<br /><br />It is the most dangerous mind controlling dogma the world is facing today or ever has confronted. Politics have been removed from Christianity. Islam on the other hand is based on politics and the submission of the world to Islam. The Seventh Century tribes of Saudi Arabia may have benefited from Islam. And for a time Islam may have been a viable alternative to Christianity but Christianity has been able to adapt to the modern world and shed its warring ways. Islam has not adapted to the modern world. Its pivotal foundation is conquest and the submission of the world to Islam. It is not a pure religion but a political dogma intertwined with religion. It enforces Sharia Law with the teachings of the Qur’an (Koran). There is no separation of religion and government. You cannot be a devout traditional Muslim without obeying Sharia Law.<br /><br />There are only two true Abrahamic religions, not three. Islam is a contrived distorted mythology that should take its place along side Greek mythology. Christianity may or may not survive the test of time, but most modern Christians can use Christianity as a moral compass without calling for Jihad and the killing of others that don’t follow Sharia Law. Maybe there is a possibility of a reformation for Islam, but unlike the teachings of Jesus (forgive them for they do not know what they do), Muhammad on his deathbed cursed the Jews and Christians.Bill Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06140644471137598074noreply@blogger.com0
