Houk © March 9, 2010 In spite of the best efforts of Leftist utopians there is classical evidence a global war is in planet Earth’s future. Islamic purists dream of the glory days when Islamic empire was spread by the sword with a goal of global conquest to establish a theo-political Islamic Supremacist world. I think most people would agree that war is evil. Thinking metaphysically or theologically, why is there evil in human civilization? In religions that believe in a Creator-deity, why would the deity allow evil to exist? Just out of full disclosure I have to own up to the fact I am neither a theologian nor a philosopher. I am uncertain that I am even qualified to be an armchair theologian or philosopher. I am one who dabbles in contemplation. Contemplation is an exercise that does not require a formal degree or a path of expertise. Certainly there are many that believe contemplation is a matter of expertise in which the exercise thereof is a ritualized practice which is attained by experience. The reality is any individual is capable of a moment or period of inner reflection in which flashes of insight is possible. The only problem with individual contemplation is the heart of the individual. The more Light one’s heart possesses the better the individual’s insight will work toward the good of the individual or the many. The more darkness one’s heart possesses the more an insight will work toward evil for the individual or the many. This returns us back to the query of a Creator-deity and evil. How or why can a deity who is representative of absolutes hence absolute good, allow the existence of evil in His creation?

Each moment as man progresses toward the demise of planet earth, he manages to regress by centuries. The terrorist double agent who murdered the CIA operatives recorded himself shortly before the killing. He was not intending to commit such a mass murder, but upon learning of the possibility of taking so many more lives, he commented the extra killings were “a gift from god.” “Whose god?” is what I ask, whose morals? What god could this be? Did this idiot climb the evolutionary ladder with the rest of us? After millions of years of evolution, suddenly regression has kicked into third gear.

Pedophilia after all has been a problem for the Catholic Church publicly for decades or longer. It is surprising that a homosexual scandal happened at the Vatican the heart of the Roman Catholic Church. I know pessimists may not be surprised. My surprise lies in the fact the current Pope is conservative. One would think that Pope Benedict XVI would take action to clean the morality up. He needs to establish some kind of Papal Commission.

Angelo Balducci, a Gentleman of His Holiness, was caught by police on a wiretap allegedly negotiating with Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 29-year-old Vatican chorister, over the specific physical details of men he wanted brought to him.

Looking at current events of the recent past and as events unfold in the present, Bussel has come to the conclusion that a cataclysmic war is soon to occur against Israel. That coming war against Israel will have a global affect that undoubtedly will have nations of means and even Muslim nations choosing sides. The circumstance of this future war is the hegemonic theo-political aspirations of Iran. JRH 3/5/10 ****************************************** The Next War By Ari Bussel Sent: March 04, 2010 9:51 PM The signs are there, the occurrence fixed only the actual dates are unknown. Given a shock like the American usage of nuclear bombs in World War II, the war may be short, as was the Six Day War in 1967. Or it can be long, much longer than the Day of Atonement War in 1973, if it becomes an all-out war for elimination and survival. In either case, it will start with a surprise attack, like Pearl Harbor or Germany’s invasion of Poland. Israel and the West will be dumbfounded and awake to a very ugly reality. If eyes do not open quickly, the USA may actually contribute to a faster deterioration of Israel’s chances of survival. Failure to attribute action against Israel correctly, or expecting the President’s charm to work wonders in places it has already failed, may further collapse Israel’s already weakened condition. America’s full military might behind Israel is NOT for Israel’s sake, it is for America’s own future survival. To answer those who ask “why be pessimistic?” I say: We do not have the luxury of fooling ourselves anymore. Few who understand the enemy believe tomorrow will bring with it peace and reconciliation. Evil is emboldened and becomes more aggressive as we continually retreat into our cocoon of optimistic denial and rosy anticipation of a benevolent future. The business of evaluating possible future scenarios and developments is not pessimism, rather the optimist’s inner belief goodness will prevail and we will win.

Houk © March 4, 2010 Anti-Semitism is a word that paints a picture of racism. It is an experience Jews have experienced from time immemorial. The approximately SIX MILLION Jews murdered in Hitler’s Nazi genocide is only unique in the terms of the sheer number of Jews massacred methodically in a relatively short period of time. Ever since the last Diaspora of Jews courtesy of the Roman Empire, the Chosen People have been harassed. Jews went all over the place in that Diaspora and a large chunk settled into what is today Europe. European anti-Semitism is notoriously legendary from the eastern portions of European Russia to the west coast part of Europe of Spain, France and Britain as well as all European nations in between. The nadir of European anti-Semitism is undoubtedly the Nazi Holocaust. Yet even before the Holocaust there was guilt over anti-Semitism. Initial British influence momentarily hooked up with the European Zionist movement. Thus as WWI neared its end the Balfour Declaration assured Jews that a national homeland would be established in their pre-Diaspora ancestral Land. After WWI the British and French began carving Arab portions of the defeated Islamic Ottoman Empire (Turkey). After Britain began to manage its portion of the defeated Islamic Ottoman Empire, the newly formed League of Nations provided a British Mandate of the part of the Levant known as Palestine.

Houk © March 3, 2010 Almost all Western concerned nations that do not have economic deals with Iran are beginning to fall in line with the reality that the only reason for enriching uranium to weapons grade is to build nuke warheads. Unfortunately there is another geopolitical reality. The world’s economy is increasing a global economy. This is to say nations that have a medium to thriving economy are experiencing a global interdependence in one fashion or another. If America suffers a 1930’s type depression, the effect will be felt globally. If a regional war erupts in the Middle East staving the flow of oil to the West, the effect will be felt globally. If a nation that has nuclear weapons becomes unstable or becomes a rogue expansionist nation, the rogue attack of nuke warheads quite probably will force economic and militaristic powerhouses to choose sides causing a global effect. If a nation (e.g. Israel) entertains a preemptive strike against a rogue nuclear armed nation then it is undoubtedly the case the rogue nation and its clients (Nations or Terrorists) will respond, the effect will be felt globally according to the certain escalation. There will come a time when nations will have to count the cost of threats to their economy, vitality and security. The nation or nations that feel the most existential threat no doubt will make a decision that will have a global effect.

Houk © March 1, 2010 Ryan Mauro has another view of the Marjah campaign that is part of the Afghan troop surge. Operation Moshtarak is the work of the NATO troops with America in the lead to dislodge the Taliban in Afghanistan. Marjah evidently is the hub for Taliban narcotics trade. Dislodging from there and the Helmand province could put a crimp in the Taliban’s monetary resources. Mauro’s view of Marjah is a bit more negative than the AP story I posted on the February 28. The NATO forces have apparently received stiffer resistance than the AP story implied. As of the wee hours of Mauro’s posting Mauro reports Marjah had not been completely secured. The NATO troops have control of the major roads and by-ways it is a matter of time wading through mine fields of IEDs to further a stance of kicking the Taliban out of the area. Mauro notes that many of the inhabitants are a bit distrusting of the Afghan government because of the shady way President Karzai sowed up his election victory. Mauro believes Pakistan’s commitment to retake Taliban controlled land on their side of the AfPak border will be more relevant than a victory in Marjah.

Obviously it does not take much imagination to determine that the "threat" that these terrorist masterminds were discussing was none other than Israel. The Jerusalem Post reports: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah met Thursday evening in Damascus along with their senior advisors, and discussed regional developments and “the zionist threat,” it was revealed Friday. The two were the guests of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who had dinner with the two and participated in the talks.

Houk © February 28, 2010 There is a Global War on Terror. In spite of President Barack Hussein Obama’s denial of a war he has at least sent his version of a troop surge. Here is some info from the AP that starts out writing about victory in Marjah, Afghanistan. The article writes about the strategy of “clear, hold” and “build.” Following the victory story the author injects some reality of war. I doubt the purpose of the reality info is used to build an American affinity for our troops and other NATO troops, rather I suspect the info is used to confirm that Leftist appeasement encourages America to abandon Afghanistan without an impact of victory. Not that a Western minded America will ever have the cajones to subdue Islamic terrorism properly, yet a goal of “building” is a good one. This is so even if Islamic rules of law (the dreaded Sharia Law) are prevalent. “Building” should mean building an alliance whether it is a pseudo-democratic nation or despotic pro-American elite.

Representative Sue Myrick (R-NC) has been an outspoken critic of the dangers of Islamic infiltration in America with the goal of subverting core beliefs and way of life. In a story published February 25, 2010 in the Charlotte News Observer from the AP wire quotes a State legislator from North Carolina attempting to silence Myrick with the typical Islamic apologist mode. O yeah both legislators are democrats that have Muslim constituents. Here is the quote: “Some conservatives have applauded her views, but some Muslims said they fear Myrick's tone endangers their community. "It's looking like she's taking on a tinge of McCarthyism, and this is dangerous," said state Sen. Larry Shaw, D-Cumberland. "She's becoming a hatemonger. And that's sad. This is an intelligent woman, and I think she's a good woman." Shaw is national chairman for the Council of American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights group Myrick has accused of planting spies on Capitol Hill by trying to get Muslim interns hired in congressional offices. (Emphasis is mine) When racism and hate-speech don’t convey the point of a Democrat or Muslim apologist, the next level is to use the McCarthyism card.

Houk © February 25, 2010 I initiated this post as a lead up to an article entitled, “Israel’s Right to Self-Defense.” As I got into the prologue I realized that I was writing an ever so small essay on Israel’s modern emergence. That is nothing novel at any of the blogs I write on. One could probably search those blogs and find many posts of similar content. This should signify my passion as a Christian Right/Zionist believer that Israel must exist for the return of our Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ. Honestly I don’t know the specifics of Christian Zionism other than its support for the nation Israel. My position is God Almighty gave the Land to Abraham and was initially possessed by the Hebrew Tribes by Moses and his successor Joshua son of Nun. The promised possession to the Jews is for perpetuity and was based on the Chosen People’s faithfulness to Yahweh. The various Jewish Diasporas (Assyrian expulsion, Babylonian expulsion and Roman expulsion) are evidence the Jews (or at least its ruling elites) stepping into faithlessness. The Promise was and is always for a Divinely protected return culminating with the House of David being returned to the throne of Israel. The Christians believe that is the Second Coming of Christ. Now the eschatology of how Christ returns to reign may differ among various Christians; nonetheless the centrality of it all is that the Resurrected Jesus Christ returns to ultimately rule and reign of the new earth and the new Heaven with the New Jerusalem as the capital city. Hence there is the importance of a restored Jewish homeland. A Jewish homeland is a right for Jewish people. The land designated as the Palestine Mandate after the Allied victory in WWI in which the primary powers Britain, France and later the U.S. defeated the Germany of Kaiser Wilhelm, Austro-Hungary Empire and Ottoman Turkey. Basically the Brits and the French carved up the non-Turkish part of the Ottoman Empire which included the land which became known as the British Mandate for Palestine in 1920. The Brits actually expelled Ottoman troops from Palestine (or at least Jerusalem) Dec. 17, 1917.

Houk © February 23, 2009 If you pay attention to any kind of international news or geopolitics keep your eyes on an international body that is second in size only to the United Nation. This international body is a loose confederation Muslim majority (or at least in power) nations (57) that call themselves the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). According Discover the Networks the OIC’s purpose is to show a positive light concerning Islam and strenuously fight any criticism of Islam. OIC's manifold purpose is to promote Islamic values, revitalize Islam's pioneering role in the world, strengthen and enhance the bond of solidarity among Muslim states, support "the Palestinian struggle," and defend Islam generally. OIC's charter professes a commitment to promoting peace and tolerance on the one hand, and to fighting terrorism on the other. The organization's actions, however, are dissonant with these stated aims. For many years, OIC has been pushing incrementally toward its ultimate goal of outlawing, everywhere in the world, any and all criticism of Islamic people, practices, legal codes, and governments. Hence if one can see through or beyond the Islamic smoke and mirrors, the OIC promotes a Muslim Brotherhood/Salafist/Wahhabi version of Islam. Any criticism of said version of Islam will be dealt with vehemently via geopolitics or Lawfare (Legal Jihad). As far as Western nations should be concerned, the OIC is a nefarious international body that will utilize deception to perpetuate the myths of a religion of peace. Now after the above leery tidbit of information on the OIC, American citizens should be aware the U.S. Government sends a Special Envoy to represent American interests to the OIC. It is sort of an ambassadorial and international lobbyist position designed to express American Interests in a clear yet diplomatic way.

West links to her three part series on “The Surge” which by all accounts in America has been displayed as a success story. West publishes the soldier’s response wisely without a name. The soldier’s response definitely is not politically correct and can ruffle feathers in his chain of command, Conservatives and undoubtedly Leftists. Belman titled the article “How Muslims Defeated the United States” and posted it on February 20. West titled her article “The Death of a Grown-Up: A Soldier Speaks Out on Iraq, from Iraq” and published it on January 25, 2010. I would say it is a pretty good guess many have read this already. For those of you who have not read the soldier’s essay as published by Diana West it is thought provoking. It will remind you of a time when America entered into war for victory rather than to smooth over a politically correct Mainstream Media sympathetic to Leftist idealism. It is a Leftist idealism that is enabling the proponents of Islam (Mohammedanism) to win a war they initiated against the West and America in particular with Israel as the bait.

Houk © February 20, 2010 If you have ever visited my blogs in the past you would be aware that I believe the practice of homosexuality to be one of the most heinous stains on Western and America society. Homosexuality is ungodly and unnatural. It is mere propaganda when you hear or read a homosexual apologist adhere to the stand that homosexuality is both Biblically godly and natural. That is pure propaganda that has been used by the homosexual agenda for years with unfortunate success. Having used these strong words, I need to assert no man or woman should utilize violence to attack the vile alternate lifestyles. This is a moral issue in which humanity is accountable to God Almighty. Humanity’s portion is to match the rule of law to match God’s morality. This means NOT to provide privileges that do not morally exist. Violence against individuals is already codified into the law with assault, battery and murder laws. The laws should be enforced equally. Codifying privileges to homosexuals validates their lifestyle which is already is already a stain. Ramming homosexual propaganda into our children in school in the name of multicultural diversity is wrong.

I have been disturbed that homosexuality is taught as a valid alternate lifestyle even though that lifestyle runs absolutely against the grain of God’s Holy Word. Now I am discovering that Islamic multiculturalist are coming as speakers to our public schools to propagandize that Islam is a religion of peace. Not only are Muslim speakers educating brainwashing our children and youth about Islam but some of the speakers are what would be termed as radical Muslims. It turns out radical Muslims Othman Shibly and son Hassan Shibly have been speakers at America’s public schools. These two at one time (maybe still, I don’t know) worked for Bridges TV in Buffalo, NY. There is a reason why this is significant. Bridges TV was part of a Saudi financed effort to propagandize Americans in the Buffalo area that Islam is peaceful and not hateful as is reported honestly by anti-jihadists and the few images that can’t help but make the news in the Mainstream Media (MSM). At one time the managing executive of Bridges TV was one Muzzammil Hassan. Hassan decapitated his wife in an honor killing for her effort to leave her husband.

Mullah Omar’s protection of Osama bin Laden is what led to the invasion of Afghanistan to wrest the one-eyed Mullah’s control of Afghanistan and to hopefully locate Osama bin Laden.

In both incidents an organized illustration of Islamic hatred toward Jews is focused on speakers representing the Israeli government. At the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom (UK) Noor Rashid shouted in Arabic in which the English translation was taken to mean “slaughter the Jews”. Rashid and Muslim apologists have since claimed the Arabic was misunderstood no doubt to avoid hate-speech prosecution (as if the Brits would prosecute a Muslim for hate-speech). Rashid’s story is he spoke in the ancient Arabic of the Quran with the English meaning, “Khaybar, O Jews, we will win”. The reference is to an Arab/Jewish battle in which the Arabic yet Jewish tribe of Khaybar was defeated by Mohammed in 629 AD. Rashid and British apologist for Islam George Galloway claim the epithet merely was referencing a historical battle in which Mohammed had won. The claim is classic Islamic taqiyya (deception).

Well it is apparent the Judge in CAIR’s civil suit against David and Chris Gaubatz is a judge that likes to explore all the merits of a case. Judge Kollar-Kotelly initially forced the Gaubatzs’ to return all the undercover acquired material back to CAIR. This minor legal victory by CAIR gave the Islamic organization some credibility in denouncing the book The Muslim Mafia co-authored by (Paul) David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry as spurious. The FBI must realized that there was some material acquired pertaining to Homeland Security acquired by private citizens that potentially demonstrate criminal culpability by CAIR.

Warner’s thoughts go something like this: a nice Muslim is not practicing the tenets of the Quran, Hadith and Sira hence in Islam he is a bad Muslim. A bad Muslim who practices the tenets of Quran, Hadith and Sira in Islam is a good Muslim. So let’s add to the confusion and ire of Muslims and probably kafir friends of Muslims.

When one gets to the very end of a post there is a “Leave a COMMENT” phrase. The word “COMMENT” was linked to contact: http://www.slantright.com/index.php?name=Contact. The “contact link” can still be used for queries. Simply look for the word “Contact” on the side panel. Now the word “COMMENT” will be a link to my SlantRight forwarded email: john.houk@gmail.com. Please include the post title with your comment. I will try this for awhile. This will depend on if Gmail can filter out the spam that arrives in large chunks. Lately the spammers seem to think you readers are interested in Russian ladies. If you know what I mean? Let the experiment begin.

We in the U.S. do not have a lot of 'radicals' so we tend to assume that other parts of the world are like this as well. Our idea of religious radicals are a small number who are 'bible bangers'. And even then, most of these people are harmless. As you have pointed out, this is NOT the case with Islam. ___________________________ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:41:10 -0600
