Taxing Money: The Call to Arms by the IMF

Lagarde-Christine-imf

COMMENT: Dear Martin –

 I have been a follower for some time now and had great pleasure in hearing you speak at the Princeton WEC.  Thank you for so readily sharing your knowledge with those that are willing to listen and learn.
I recall you mentioning that governments will often have a desired policy “floated” through another source, so as to provide the appearance that they are adopting an independently conceived course of action.  I noticed that just yesterday the IMF published Staff Discussion Note SDN/15/22 ( http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/cat/longres.aspx?sk=43162 ).  To my reading, this paper advocates further QE by the ECB.  Maybe the most notably questionable comment to be found in the paper is that “governments do tend to take corrective measures in response to an increase in government debt”, as indicated under point 14. I thought you might find this article interesting and foretelling.  If nothing else, it seems to be further confirmation of the predictions provided by Socrates.
Best, WN
REPLY: Europe has become one giant experiment for taxing money, which is popularly called negative interest rates. They meant precisely this when they stated “governments do tend to take corrective measures in response to an increase in government debt.” It is NOT a trend toward hyperinflation, as in revolutionary or defunct governments where they just disavow the prior debt of the previous government. This is the deflationary course which shrinks the economy rather than dealing with the debt. The IMF is advocating taxing money itself, and this will only lead to hoarding and trying to get off the grid.

Schäuble Said Refuge Crisis Will Not Destroy Europe

Schäuble has said that the refugee crisis will not destroy Europe and it will proceed. This illustrates our crisis with career politicians. He MUST take this position or he must admit the politicians are wrong. Now that can never happen.

Analysis of Global Temperature Trends, October, 2015 What’s really going on with the Climate?


The analysis and plots shown here are based on the following: first NASA-GISS temperature anomalies (converted to degrees Celsius so non-scientists will understand the plots) as shown in their table LOTI, second James E. Hansen’s Scenario B data, which is the very core of the IPCC Global Climate models (GCM’s) and which was based on a CO2 sensitivity value of 3.0O Celsius, lastly, a plot based on an alternative climate model designated ‘PCM’ and based on a sensitively value of 0.65O Celsius.

An explanation of the alternative model designated, PCM, is in order since many have interpreted this PCM model as a statistical least squares projection of some kind. Nothing could be further from the truth. A decade ago when I started this work the first thing I did was look at geological temperature changes since it is well known that the climate is not a constant; I learned that in my undergrad geology and climatology courses in 1964.

The following observations give a starting point to any serious study. First, there is a clear movement in global temperatures with a 1,000 some year cycle going back at least 3,000 to 4,000 years; probably because of the apsidal precession of about 21,000 years for a complete cycle. However about every 10,000 years the seasons are reversed making the winter colder and the summer warmer in the northern hemisphere. 10,000 years from now the seasons will be reversed. Secondly, there are also 60 to 70 year cycles in the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans that are well documented. Lastly we also know that there are greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) estimated that carbon dioxide had a doubling rate of 3.0O Celsius plus or minus 1.5O Celsius in 1979.

The core problem with the current climate change theory is that the IPCC still uses the NAS 3.0O Celsius as the sensitivity value of carbon dioxide and a number in that range is required to make the IPCC GCM’s work. The problem with using this value is it leaves no room for other factors and hence the need of the infamous hockey stick plots of the IPCC from Mann, Bradley & Hughes in 1999. The PCM model is based on a much lower value for carbon dioxide consistent with current research. This places the value between 0.65O and 1.5O Celsius per doubling of carbon dioxide. If the long and short movement in temperatures and a lower value for carbon dioxide are properly analyzed and combined a plot that matched historical and current (non manipulated) NASA temperature estimates very well can be constructed. This is not curve fitting.

The PCM model is such a construct and it is not based on statistical analyses of raw data. It is based on creating curves that match observations (which is real science) and those observations appear to be related to the movement of water in the world’s oceans. The movements of ocean currents are well documented in the literature. All that was done here was properly combine the separate variables into one curve which had not been previously done, to my knowledge. Since this combined curve is an excellent predictor of global temperatures unlike the IPCC GCM’s, it appears to reflect reality a bit better than the convoluted IPCC GCM’s, which after the past 19 years of no statistical warming have been shown to be in error.

Now, to smooth out highly erratic monthly variations a 12 month running average is used in all the plots. This information will be shown in four tables and updated each month as the new data comes in about the middle of the month. Since no model or simulation that cannot reasonably predict that which it was design to do is worth anything the information presented here definitively proves that NASA, NOAA and the IPCC just don’t have a clue.

Note, starting in late 20014 and continuing to the present NASA has made major changes to the way they calculate the values used in their table LOTI. These changes have significantly increased the apparent global temperatures (political reasons) and these changes are not supported by satellite data; so they are probably not real. For example in the report issued in April 2010 the following temperatures were reported March 2002 102, January 2007 108 and March 2010 106. The current report October 2015 shows March 2002 91, January 2007 97 and March 2010 92 and October 2015 as 104; which makes October 2015 the hotest ever . This paper uses the questionable NASA data since it is all that is available at this time. Prior to this “change” the PCM plot showed almost no error for NASA data as can be seen in the plots posted here last year.

2015-10

The first plot, UL is a plot of the NASA temperature anomaly converted to degrees Celsius and shown in red with a black trend line added. There has been a very clear reversal in the upward movement of global temperatures since about 2001 and neither the UN IPCC nor anyone else has an explanation for this 13 years later. Since CO2 has continued to increase at what could be argued an increasing rate, this raises serious doubts about the logic programmed into all the IPCC global climate models.

The next plot UR, also in red, shows the IPCC estimates of what the Global temperature should be, based on Hansen’s Scenario B, with the NASA actual temperatures’ subtracted from them. Therefore this plot represents a deviation from what the Climate “believers” KNOW what the temperature should be; with a positive value indicating the IPCC values are higher than actual and a negative value indicating the IPCC values are lower than actual, as measured by NASA. A black trend line is added and we can clearly see that the deviation from expected is increasing at an increasing rate. This makes sense since the IPCC models project increased temperatures based primarily on the increasing level of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, for them, the actual temperatures from NASA are trending down (even as they try to hide the down ward movement with data manipulation) since other factors are in play, therefore each year the gap between them widens. Since we have 13 years of observations’ showing this pattern it becomes hard to justify a continuing belief in the IPCC climate models, there is obviously something very wrong here.

The next plot LL shown in blue is based on the equations in the PCM climate model described in previous papers and posts here and since it is generated by “equations” a trend line is not needed. As can be seen the PCM, LL, and the NASA, UL, trend plots are very similar the reason being that in the PCM model, there is a 68.2 year cycle that moves the trend line up and then down a total of 0.30O Celsius (currently negative .0070O Celsius per year); and we are now in the downward portion of that trend which will continue until around 2035. This short cycle is clearly observed in the raw NASA data in the LOTI table going back to 1868. Then there is a long trend, 1052.6 years with an up and down of 1.36O Celsius (currently plus .0029O Celsius per year) also observed in the NASA data. Lastly, there is CO2 adding about .005O Celsius per year so they basically wash out, which matches the current holding pattern we are experiencing. However within a few years the increasing downward trend of the short cycle will overpower the other two and we will see drop of about .002O Celsius per year and that will be increasing until till around 2025 or so. After about 2035 the short cycle will have bottomed and turn up and all three will be on the upswing again. These are all round numbers shown here as representative values.

The last plot LR in blue uses the same logic as used in the UR plot, here we use the PCM estimates of what the Global temperature should be with the NASA actual temperatures’ subtracted from them. A positive value indicates the PCM values are higher than actual and a negative value indicates the PCM values are lower than expected. A black trend line was added and it clearly shows that the PCM model is tracking the NASA actual values very closely. In, fact since 1970 the PCM model has rarely been off by more than +/- 0.1 degrees Celsius and has an average trend of almost zero error, while the IPCC models are erratic and are now approaching an error rate of +0.5O above expected.

Note: Since I first started posting this monthly analysis a year and a half ago NOAA and NASA were directed make the global temperatures fit the political narrative that the planet was over heating and something drastic need to be done right now. The problem was as shown in this analysis the “real” world temperatures were not at the level that the IPCC GCM’s said they should be. Major adjustments to the data have been made that give the illusion that temperatures are going up even though they are not. However, as this analysis shows even with the manipulation that has destroyed all credibility from NOAA and NASA they cannot get the global temperatures even close to what their false theory claims they should be.

In summary, the IPCC models were designed before a true picture of the world’s climate was understood. During the 1980’s and 1990’s CO2 levels were going up and the world temperature was also going up so there appeared to be correlation and causation. The mistake that was made was looking at only a ~20 year period when the real variations in climate move in much longer cycles. Those other cycles can be observed in the NASA data but they were ignored for some reason. By ignoring those trends and focusing only on CO2 the models will be unable to correctly plot global temperatures until they are fixed.

Lastly, the next chart shows what a plot of the PCM model would look like from the year 1000 to the year 2300. The plot matches reasonably well with history and fits the current NASA-GISS table LOTI date very closely, despite homogenization. I understand that this model is not based on physics but it is also not curve fitting. It’s based on observed reoccurring patterns in the climate. These patterns can be modeled and when they are, you get a plot that works better than any of the IPCC’s GCM’s. If the conditions that create these patterns do not change and CO2 continues to increase to 800 ppm or even 1000 ppm than this model will work into the foreseeable future. 150 years from now global temperatures will peak at around 15.5 to 15.7 degrees C and then will be on the downside of the long cycle for the next 500 years. The overall effect of CO2 reaching levels of 1000 ppm or even higher will be between 1.0 and 1.5 degrees C which is about the same as that of the long cycle.

Carbon Dioxide is not capable of doing what Hansen and Gore claim!

The purpose of this post is to make people aware of the errors inherent in the IPCC models so that they can be corrected.

The Obama administration’s “need” for a binding UN climate treaty with mandated CO2 reductions in Europe and America means there will be such a resolution presented at the COP12 conference in Paris in December. To support this NASA will be forced to show ever increasing global temperatures for the rest of 2015 that will make less and less sense based on observations and satellite data which will all be dismissed or ignored.

Sir Karl Raimund Popper (28 July 1902 – 17 September 1994) was an Austrian and British philosopher and a professor at the London School of Economics. He is considered one of the most influential philosophers for science of the 20th century, and he also wrote extensively on social and political philosophy. The following quotes of his apply to this subject.

If we are uncritical we shall always find what we want: we shall look for, and find, confirmations, and we shall look away from, and not see, whatever might be dangerous to our pet theories.

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

… (S)cience is one of the very few human activities — perhaps the only one — in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected.

Hillary Clinton: Muslims have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with terrorism


Jihad is pure Islam and Jihad can not be taken out of Islam Check out this analysis on the subject i just did and proves that Clinton is a total fool.

Video: Hillary Clinton: Muslims have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with terrorism » The Right Scoop –

It’s this “all or nothing” mentality. Just because some Muslims aren’t terrorists doesn’t mean none of them are or that it doesn’t matter what they’re religious beliefs are. If they are killing people because of what they interpret their holy book to mean, then yes, it damn sure does matter what religion they are. And it is important to understand this in order to effectively fight our enemies.

People like Mrs. Clinton seem to think this is the case with Muslims, but then treat all Christians as terrorists. Some Christians have had extremist ideals and did things like blow up abortion clinics. Some Christians are pushy with their religion and feel they need to convert everyone. That doesn’t define all Christians any more than terrorists define all Muslims. But the bottom line is this:…

GOP Establishment Super-PAC “New Day for America” (NDfA) Declares War On Donald Trump…


I’m in Ohio and Kasich’s weak point are First the Ohio House and senate would not approve the Medicaid expansion so Kasich’s did it any way. Conservatives in Ohio to not like Kasich for this. Then when he ran for 2nd term his Dem opponent imploded with a scandal so his big 60% win was because almost no Dem’s showed up so he won even though the Republicans didn’t either. Trump will be able to counter this as he knows Kascik’s weak points especially that many in Ohio do not like him for the Medicaid deal.

Wow – Hillary Clinton and The “Radical Jihadism” Policy…


Radical Jihadism? The woman doesn’t have a clue! Besides the fact that there is no such word as Jihadism Further Jihad is primarily the forced conversion of a Kafir to Islam or the killing of the kafir if they don’t convert, so I’m not sure how that could be made more radical.

If anyone is interested I posted an analysis on Jihad on my blog this morning

Why does Jihad exist in Islam?

Rescuing America from Nihilism


Post by Prof. Paul Eidelberg

We live in “age of atrocity” as well as in “age of stupidity,” an age in which “higher” education is steeped in Nihilism, a philosophy of the Void. This is also the age of Triumphant Democracym which today is threatened by Islamic totalitarianism.

This situation prompted me to write Rescuing America from Nihilism: Toward a Judeo-Scientific Approach (Lightcatcher and Amazon Books, 2014).

The profoundest student of America is known to be Alexis de Tocqueville.  In his 1838 classic, Democracy in America, de Tocqueville virtually warned that America would eventually succumb to the decay of Moral Relativism. This university-bred doctrine fosters Nihilism, a philosophy of the void, a philosophy that empties life of meaning and purpose.

Moral relativism saps dedication to noble ideas and noble ambitions. It fosters hedonism, a lust for immediate gratification of desire. Relativism prompts American politicians to offer “quick-fix” solutions to national problems that require for their solution sustained dedication to America’s defining political principles and moral values, These principles ad values are embodied in America’s biblically inspired  Declaration of Independence, a document that has inspired oppressed people throughout the world.

Unfortunately, Nihilism via Moral Relativism gained ascendancy in American higher education after the end of the Second World War. This doctrine has deprived America of her national self-confidence and moral compass. Relativism has undermined America’s ability to counter the death threat of Islam, whose spearhead is Iran, now on the verge of deploying nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.

To counter this existential threat and degradation of America, I have published a ground-breaking work Rescuing America from Nihilism: A Judeo-Scientific Approach (now available at Lightcatcher and Amazon Books).

This book is written in common sense language. It shuns the jargon of academia. It liberates us from the obscurantism of theoretical physicists by showing how scientists often succumb to nonsense, when they preach the religion of “scientism,” which reduces all things to atoms in motion, thus making a Beethoven string-quartet nothing more than a scraping of horses’ tails on cats’ bowels!

The book quotes the puns of Albert Einstein, a critic of higher education, who said: “Two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity. And I’m not so sure about the Universe.” Or as Nietzsche put it, “great learning and great stupidity go well together under the same hat!”

Rescuing America from Nihilism is the book needed to revive what Lincoln called America’s “ancient faith,” the Lincoln who called America the “almost chosen people.”

Why does Jihad exist in Islam?


Since 2001 and the Paris atrocities there have been 317 Jihadist attacks worldwide, of that total 106 caused significant death and destruction and of that number 38 caused casualties of over 250 people. These attacks were perpetrated by Muslims against both Kafirs (those that are not Muslim) and other Muslims (mostly ones seen as cooperating with Kafirs). If Islam is a religion of peace how can this ongoing slaughter, see the following Chart, be explained?

The answer is that Islam is not a religion it is a political system that contains a religion within it and its goal is that every man woman and child in the world becomes a Muslim. Jihad is the means to achieve than and it takes two forms one is through persuasion and intimidation and the other is by war and terror. There can be no accommodation with Islam whether we want to admit it or not it is a battle to the death — there can be only one winner.

TRILOGY 01

As can be seen from the above Chart during the 8 years of the Bush administration 2001 to 2008 Casualties (killed and wounded) dropped to almost zero by 2008/2009 from their high after 9/11. After Obama took office and pulled all the troops out of Iraq, thereby creating ISIS, the opposite occurred with Jihadists attacks reaching levels of attacks and casualties never seen before in modern times even surpassing what occurred in 2001 and the year isn’t even over. At the current rate of Jihad attacks and Kafir casualties’ we may reach over 5,100 casualties by the end of the year and maybe even a lot more if we get another Paris style attack.

Whether the Islamic Jihadist movement comes from 1% of the Muslims or 10% of the Muslims or even a higher percentage of the Muslims it just really doesn’t matter does it. These attacks against the rest of the world have been going on for 1383 years and so far the Muslims have killed an estimated 270 million people of all faiths and races and that is the equivalent of 195,228 killed per year since 623 CE, so we can see it could get a lot worse.

The following material was derived from the work of Bill Warner who has a PhD in Physics and who has done extensive work on Islam from a scientific point of view which takes out most if not all misunderstanding about why the Jihadists do what they do when we are told that Islam is the religion of peace. What I will be presenting here is a very short summary of Dr. Warner’s work presented on his website www.politicalislam.com where he has a number of books that he has written and are for sale at very reasonable prices. His approach to the subject is unique and very solid such that it is almost impossible to argue any of his conclusions. The material presented here is taken from his book The Foundations of Islam mostly from the introduction to Islam Lesson One which is a self study course that Dr. Warner prepared.

The first thing that Dr. Warner tells us is that there are two misconceptions about Islam. The first is that Islam is only a religion; which it is not; it is a total way of life from birth to death and encompasses “everything” that a Muslim must do in life. The second is that Islam is impossible to understand without extensive study at the college level and this is also not true. The next thing Dr. Warner tells us is there is a serious contradictory nature to Islam for you can find very nice Muslims and then there are evil Jihadists both claiming to be true Muslims so which is true. Political correctness and multiculturalism dictates that we use a moral argument not a factual argument when looking at the dichotomy of Islam and so we are only allowed to look at the non Jihadists faction of Islam.

Dr. Warner’s approach is to go to the source of Islam for guidance which is Mohammed and all Muslims both the “nice” Muslims and “hard core” jihadists will agree that, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his Profit.”  So clearly we must understand Mohammed to understand Islam. We can find out all about Mohammed in the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith. Most of us have heard of the Koran but not the other two books but to understand Islam we must understand all three of these works.

The Koran introduces us to Mohammed and in the Koran there are over 90 verses which say that Mohammed is the “perfect” Muslim. Then it also claims that every Muslim is to imitate Mohammed in every detail of his life and if they don’t they will go to hell. Therefore if we know what Mohammed did we can understand the Koran and Islam. So starting with the Koran we must first put it in chronological order and when we do that we find there are actually two Korans. The first Koran written in Mecca is very religious (and the one commonly refer to by the media) and the second Koran written in Medina is very political (which is ignored) so which is the true Koran? To find the answer we need to look at the Sira which is the biography of Mohammed and the Hadith which tells us what Mohammed did, i.e. stories about Mohammed.

Dr. Warner did something I never thought of which was genius — he took the Koran, the Sira, and the Hadith and compared the size of their text of each which would then give us an approximate measure of importance. This is very important as the Trilogy of the Koran, Sira and Hadith forms the true Islamic bible. Just like what Christians have with the old and new testaments. So Islam can be defined by what is in the Trilogy and if it is there it is Islam and if it isn’t there then it isn’t Islam. The following Chart is Dr. Warner’s breakdown of the Trilogy and you can see that 86% of Islam is in the Sira and the Hadith which are refer to as the “Sunna,” or the words and deeds of Mohammed. And only 14% of Islam is in the Koran. Since we are told in the Koran that we must be exactly like Mohammad then what is in the Sunna must be very important to being a true Muslim. Therefore according to Dr. Warner analysis there is nothing outside of the Trilogy that we need to know everything that we need to know about Islam is in those three books.

TRILOGY 02

The next step Dr. Warner takes is to look at what is in those three works. When we read the Trilogy we find a new word to us the “Kafir” which is the word for anyone that is not a Muslim and the word Kafir is a very derogatory word much worse than N**** and here are a few of the things said about a Kafir: A Kafir can be mocked, a Kafir can be beheaded, a Kafir can be plotted against, a Kafir can be terrorized, a Kafir is evil, a Kafir should be disgraced and a Muslim is not a friend of a Kafir. Dr. Warner gives the actual verses that say this in his book but I’m only giving a summary of his work, you really need to read the book to get the full effect of the amount of work Dr. Warner put into this.

The next thing Dr. Warner did was to find out how much of the Trilogy is devoted to the Kafir (us) and what he found was astounding

TRILOGY 03

Taken as whole over 50% of the Trilogy is devoted to non-believers, the Kafir, than to what it takes to be a good Muslim. Why is so much of Islam devoted to the Kafir and how evil and bad they are? Understanding this allows us to understand Islam and that allows us to know why the jihadists are the “true” Muslims and all others just don’t understand their religion. This is not much different than most religions as how many Christians know every aspect of their religion. With Christianity it’s not as important as it is in Islam since there were not two different Christ’s there was only one and so it’s hard to get confused over the motivations of Christ. One can argue that there are bad Christians but it’s really hard to come up with a version of Christ showing that he promoted the killing of Jews and the pagans if they would not convert to Christianity.

At this point Dr. Warner tells us that with this method it’s impossible for a Muslim to refute anything that is based on the Trilogy for this is the heart of what their religion is. There is nothing else but the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith. And now since the Kafir is outside of Islam (their definition) that means that any doctrine which has to do with Kafirs is a political doctrine not a religious doctrine. And now we can say … “that there is a Kafir-centric point of view with regards to Islam. The Koran, Sira and Hadith consider the Kafir to be the worst of all possible people.” Dr. Warner then states, “We have a foundational view. The statements being made here about Kafirs are based on the foundational doctrine of Islam. It is the literal basis of Islam.” Additionally and keep this in mind Dr. Warner tells us, “One of the things, by the way, that we see in examining all three texts: the Koran, Sira and Hadith, is that Islam is always on the attack about the Kafir, either psychologically or physically.” And there is 1400 years of history to prove that statement.

There is another large subject found within the Trilogy of Islam, and that is the story of the Jews. When Mohammed started in Mecca Mohammed was kind to the Jews and viewed himself the final Jewish prophet. Then later in Medina, in three years the three Jewish tribes residing there were annihilated and they represented half the population of Medina. Dr. Warner finds that the Jews comprise 12% of the biography of Mohammed and 9% of the Hadith. In addition 7% of the Koran contains negative comments about Jews. Over all in the Trilogy 9.3% comprise negative comments about Jews. The following Chart shows the details and then when we compare the Trilogy to Hitler’s Mein Kampf with only 7% negative comments about the Jews, and look what they did to the Jews, it’s no wonder they hate them so much.

TRILOGY 04

Not in the introduction but later in his book Dr. Warner looks at the Muslim view of women and one find that they are of very low status in Islam which makes it hard to understand why “western” women voluntarily convert to Islam. One can garner from observation that the only real purpose for Muslim women is to bear as many children as possible and they seem to have birth rates of 6 to 8 babies per women so that view is supported. Overall Muslim women are treated as property and have very low status as shown in the next Chart.

TRILOGY 05

Dr. Warner summarizes the discussion at this point before moving on. “These lectures on the foundations of Islam are from the standpoint of the Kafir; these views are Kafir-centric. It’s important to realize that to the Muslim, the apologist (the Kafir that believes the Mecca Koran is the only Koran) and all other Kafirs will never align with them. So when people come together for bridge building or other such multicultural events, it is “impossible” to align Kafirs viewpoints with that of the Muslim. The reason is this: Islam is against the Kafir and takes every opportunity to hurt the Kafir. So therefore the Kafir is the victim. The Kafir-centric view is the victim’s view of Islam.”

Now we get to one of the parts we are interested in especially today which is Jihad for here is where we have Muslims killing us for reasons we as Kafirs do not understand. According to Dr. Warner there is a great deal in the Trilogy about Jihad and using Dr. Warner’s technique we see in the next Chart that on average 31% of the Trilogy is devoted to jihad. And that is, “not a verse or two, but a major theme of Islam.” Clearly Jihad is a very important subject to the Muslims as it is the path to converting the world to Islam. TRILOGY 06

Now we have all heard that Jihad means an inner struggle not war, but is this true? The answer is yes this is technically true the proper term for war is harb. But there are two kinds of struggle or jihad. There is the inner struggle jihad as in trying to curb your temper or try to stop smoking and then there is the outer struggle jihad, the Jihad of war.   Dr. Warner’s work is then used to determine how much Jihad in inner and how much Jihad is outer and we find that in the Hadith 21% of the text is about jihad and looking further we find that of that 21% about 2% is the inner jihad and 98% is the outer jihad which in this case it is against Kafirs. So the outer jihad of “war” which seems to be the most important Jihad is all about converting or killing the Kafir.

So we have 2% of jihad is the inner struggle and 98% of Jihad is about killing Kafirs so obviously we can see which is the most important to Muslims and the reason there is so much killing done by Muslims. Also the jihad of war can be waged in many different ways by the sword, by violence, by mouth argument persuasion writing (propaganda), and by money or the financing of jihad. And there is also taquiyya which is scared deception which Mohammed used and promoted to deceive Kafirs if it would advance Islam. The non violent methods of jihad are actually civilization jihad for what it means is that every aspect of a kefir must be replaced by Islam. Jihad is total meaning when Islam becomes a majority in a country within a short period of time every aspect of that conquered country will be replaced. This explains why we see ISIS destroying everything that pre dates Islam and blowing up anything that is of the Kafir. The literal interpretation of this replacement is that the entire world but go back to 632 CE and the time of Mohammed as that was the perfect world.

So what we have found so far is that Islam is full of dualities and there are three sets of them.

  • When Mohammed is in Mecca he is peaceful and considers himself a Jewish prophet. Then later when he is in Medina he ends up hating the Jews and kills their men and makes slaves of their women.
  • When Mohammed is in Mecca there is no mention of jihad. When he is in Medina his teaching is full of jihad; violence war and decapitations.
  • When Mohammed is in Mecca as a peaceful preacher he could only get about 150 people to follow him in 13 years. When he moved to Medina he became a warrior and a politician and conducted war against anyone that opposed him. In the last 9 years of his life through war and conquest about 10,000 people a year were “forced” into being Muslims.

So who is Mohammad is he the peaceful preacher or the violent warrior? Is the Koran and the Sunna about peace or about war? This dualism is what makes it hard to understand Islam for if the Koran is the perfect word of the only god of the universe Allah then everything in it must be true. The early peaceful Koran is true and the violent jihadist Koran is also true. When two things contradict one another, than normally using logic one must be false. But since this is Islam and Allah’s will is absolute then both can be true if we look at the subject in proper perspective one Koran is for the Muslim (Mecca) and the other Koran is for the Kafir (Medina).

Dr. Warner has researched this subject in great detail and he uses a scientific prospective that resolves the conflict by analyzing the writing and finding that there are two separate worlds to a Muslim the world of the Ummah (collective community of Islamic peoples) and the world of the Kafir (everyone who is not a Muslim). Dr. Warner following that line of thought, which is correct, goes on to say that clearly since the Koran, and Sira and Hadith all treat Kafirs with great cruelty and contempt it means that the Kafir falls under a separate ethical system from Muslims. This allows them to do what they do to us and which we do not understand at our peril.

This duality of Islam is one of two main principles of Islam the other is submission. We are told that Islam means peace but that is not true Islam first means submission and peace than comes after you submit to Islam.

The last subject is The Sharia (which is Islamic law) which is the codification of all the standards of behavior found in the Islamic Trilogy. The Sharia interprets what is found in the Koran and the Sunna and turns that into a legal system that encompasses 100% of a Muslims life: government, political, social, business, education, marriage and family life in great detail. According Islamic scholars the purpose of The Sharia is to dominate all governments of the world and replace all constitutions. Islam is to replace all other religions of the world. Every aspect of our life must be done as Mohammad did it in the year 632 CE. Submission is what Islam is about and everyone must submit to Allah and the Sunna of Mohammed.

In summary Dr. Warner tells us that, “Islam is based on the Sunna of Mohammed, his words and deeds as recorded in the Sira and the Hadith. If you know what Mohammed did, if you know his perfect pattern of life, then you don’t need to ask a Muslim what a Muslim should do.”

 

On the West’s Inability to Identify Its Mortal Enemy


Post By Prof. Paul Eidelberg

The fear-filled inability of the West to identify Islam as its mortal enemy despite the Paris attacks is simptomatic of a multi-national democratic pathology.

I call this pathology “Demophrenia.”  Citing various psychiatrists and clinical psychlogists, I discuss this pathology at length in my book Demophrenia: Israel and the Malaise of Democracy (Prescott Press, 1994).
The book’s central chapter also appears in my book An Amercan Political Scientist in Israel (Lexington Books, 2010).
 
Demophrenia is a hitherto unrecognized mental disease. It is denial syndrome that incapacitates normless democracies — democracies steeped in moral relativism –from coping effectively with Evil.
The occurrence of Demophrenia in the State of Israel is not accidental; it is the consequence of modern Israel’s secular foundation, which engenders moral relativism, the philosophical root of Demphrenia.  .
