What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
Speaker Johnson
Pinging you on January 6 Tapes
Just a friendly reminder Speaker Johnson. You’re doing some good things–or at least trying in the case of the budget–but this is the most important thing out there still hanging. One initial block released with the promise of more…and?
We have American patriots being held without bail and without trial, and the tapes almost certainly contain exculpatory evidence. (And if they don’t, and we’re all just yelling in an echo chamber over here, we need to know that too. And there’s only one way to know.)
Either we have a weaponized, corrupt government or we have a lot of internet charlatans. Let’s expose whatever it is. (I’m betting it’s the corrupt weaponized government, but if I am wrong, I’d like to see proof.)
A Political Statement
One of my stock jokes is to say, as I head off to the bathroom or washroom or restroom, “I’m going to go make a political statement.”
It certainly seems like urinating is a good way to make a statement about the YSM, and defecating works for politicians. Or the other way around is good too, though “#1” just never seems emphatic enough.
Maybe “#1” is just being polite, and “#2” is telling the fixtures what you really think.
Anyhow, I pretty much do plan to be polite to RINOs that electioneer or fundraise. I’ll tell them, Sorry, but I need to GO Pee…
Language Warning
In the next piece I had to discuss a particular topic. Unfortunately, I couldn’t discuss it without naming it. Therefore I apologize in advance for having to do so, and apologize to anyone offended by the sight of the name.
RINO McDaniel
[Well, perfect timing for this one to pop up in the rotation again!]
RINO McDaniel continues to infest the GOP. But RINO McDaniel isn’t the problem.
Let me be crystal clear on this, RINO McDaniel is a lower-than-whale-shit, piss guzzling ratfucking shit eating traitorous rancid syphillitic cunt. Her worth as a human being is substantially less than zero, any oxygen sucked into her lungs is wasted, and it would be, no matter what job she had.
I fear I haven’t been clear enough, but that will have to suffice.
But she is not the problem…or rather, she would not be a problem were it not for others. She’d still be as I have described, but we wouldn’t know who she is and would not care, because she could do no damage. She’d just be anonymous human refuse.
No, the real problem is the fact that a majority of the 168 top GOP people voted for her. And now that has happened five times so they cannot claim they didn’t know what she was.
In spite of the fact that under her “leadership” the party has deliberately sabotaged the will of its base, has deliberately refused to challenge blatant election fraud, had gone out of its way to ensure certain candidates do not get nominated, has diverted donor money to namby-pamby candidates who have all the electoral appeal of a puddle of dog vomit…and in general has done nothing whatsoever to help fix the problems that plague America.
However that last is to be expected; I cannot expect anyone who IS the problem to help FIX the problem.
RINO McDaniel would be powerless without an entire party leadership of the same mind as her. They want this dismal performance; they want to ignore the party base.
If she were to drop dead this instant, it would solve nothing as someone just like her would be elected by those same pustulous people.
According to Charlie Kirk, about 55 people voted against her, 10-12 wanted something different but were too chickenshit to do the right thing, and roughly 100 people voted for her enthusiastically, and even had the unmitigated gall to complain to Kirk about US. Fuck ’em. Rusty 12 gauge bore brushes would be too good for these arrogant pricks and cunts.
Every single one of those hundred is just as bad as she is. In other words, they are all worse than I described at the beginning of this piece. And no doubt those people in turn have people who supported them to be state party chairs and whateveritis they call the other two people from each state and territory who were voting.
It’s time to face up to the fact that the Republican party is effectively owned by the shit-eating RINOs. We’ve got more work to do, a lot more work, to make the GOP an instrument for the restoration of the United States of America. And that’s in addition to cleaning up our elections.
There’s no point in cleaning up elections just to elect ratfucking RINOs.
OK, hopefully now you will have some inkling of my true attitude towards RINOs. Sorry that words were inadequate to give you the full picture.
The Real Fascist is His Fraudulency Joe Biden*
*Or whoever has his hand rammed up that meat puppet’s ass.
Brandon (which I will use as a term for whoever is the power behind the Porcelain Throne) has thrown down the gauntlet…but in a way where most of America will never see it. The networks didn’t carry his tirade. CNN air brushed it (or whatever you call editing the red background) for its five viewers (who aren’t trapped in airports).
Luckily for me I live in Colorado, and therefore, despite my best efforts, I probably didn’t vote for Donald Trump.
Of course, for this purpose who I actually did try to vote for will be essential, and they undoubtedly know.
Come and get us, asswipes!

Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
Small Government?
Many times conservatives (real and fake) speak of “small government” being the goal.
This sounds good, and mostly is good, but it misses the essential point. The important thing here isn’t the size, but rather the purpose, of government. We could have a cheap, small tyranny. After all our government spends most of its revenue on payments to individuals and foreign aid, neither of which is part of the tyrannical apparatus trying to keep us locked down and censored. What parts of the government would be necessary for a tyranny? It’d be a lot smaller than what we have now. We could shrink the government and nevertheless find it more tyrannical than it is today.
No, what we want is a limited government, limited not in size, but rather in scope. Limited, that is, in what it’s allowed to do. Under current circumstances, such a government would also be much smaller, but that’s a side effect. If we were in a World War II sort of war, an existential fight against nasty dictatorships on the brink of world conquest, that would be very expensive and would require a gargantuan government, but that would be what the government should be doing. That would be a large, but still limited government, since it’d be working to protect our rights.
World War II would have been the wrong time to squawk about “small government,” but it wasn’t (and never is) a bad time to demand limited government. Today would be a better time to ask for a small government–at least the job it should be doing is small today–but it misses the essential point; we want government to not do certain things. Many of those things we don’t want it doing are expensive but many of them are quite eminently doable by a smaller government than the one we have today. Small, but still exceeding proper limits.
So be careful what you ask for. You might get it and find you asked for the wrong thing.
Political Science In Summation
It’s really just a matter of people who can’t be happy unless they control others…versus those who want to be left alone. The oldest conflict within mankind. Government is necessary, but government attracts the assholes (a highly technical term for the control freaks).
A Few Things We Cannot Blame on His Fraudulency
I am pretty sure Joe Biden had nothing whatsoever to do with the 30 Years War that ran from 1618-1648 and probably killed about a third of the people then living in what is now Germany.
Nor did he cause the collapse of either Roman empire (Western, 476 CE, Eastern 1453 CE). Nor the ignominious failure of most of the Crusades. Nor the collapse of Bronze Age civilization around 1200 BCE (including the collapse of the Minoans and the blowup of Santorini).
However, my utter lack of ability to imagine how he could possibly be responsible for these things is not a valid argument against them, so I await correction if appropriate.
His Truth?
Again we saw an instance of “It might be true for Billy, but it’s not true for Bob” logic this week.
I hear this often, and it’s usually harmless. As when it’s describing differing circumstances, not different facts. “Housing is unaffordable” can be true for one person, but not for another who makes ten times as much.
But sometimes the speaker means it literally. Something like 2+2=4 is asserted to be true for Billy but not for Bob. (And when it’s literal, it’s usually Bob saying it.) And in that sense, it’s nonsense, dangerous nonsense. There is ONE reality, and it exists independent of our desires and our perceptions. It would go on existing if we weren’t here. We exist in it. It does not exist in our heads. It’s not a personal construct, and it isn’t a social construct. If there were no society, reality would continue to be what it is, it wouldn’t vanish…which it would have to do, if it were a social construct.
Now what can change from person to person is the perception of reality. We see that all the time. And people will, of course, act on those perceptions. They will vote for Trump (or try to) if their perception is close to mine, and vote against Trump (and certainly succeed at doing so) if their perception is distant from mine (and therefore, if I do say so, wrong). I have heard people say “perception is reality” and usually, that’s what they’re trying to say–your perception of reality is, as far as you know, an accurate representation of reality, or you’d change it.
But I really wish they’d say it differently. And sometimes, to get back to Billy and Bob, the person who says they have different truths is really saying they have different perceptions of reality–different worldviews. I can’t argue with the latter. But I sure wish they’d say it better. That way I’d know that someone who blabbers about two different truths is delusional and not worth my time, at least not until he passes kindergarten-level metaphysics on his umpteenth attempt.

(Paper) Spot Prices
Kitco “Ask” prices. Last week:
Gold $2,005.50
Silver $23.07
Platinum $927.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $4,950.00
This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.
Gold $2,020.90
Silver $23.97
Platinum $950.00
Palladium $1204.00
Rhodium $4,950.00
Down, then up, and closing down again…but still a net increase for the week if you can stomach the roller coaster. On the other hand palladium is going like gangbusters! It went up 66 bucks on Friday alone.
One person here commented on the fact that it appears the gold price is being suppressed artificially, advocating for people to get into bitcoin.
I don’t see bitcoin as viable for the long term. There are two individuals who hold the lion’s share of the bitcoin, and I’d hate to see them decide to cash in and dump it. That ever present fear will probably dictate agaiinst it being a world standard (plus it’s way too volatile in any case). There’s even worse potential for manipulation here than there is with gold. At least in principle there are plenty of places to find more gold; it’s just not easy.

If this is genuine, the guy caught acting out in the Senate thinks he is the victim, and he’s going to explore his legal options. His lack of shame and awareness is astounding. Comments on his LinkedIn page are condemning.

Sounds legit. I bet a lot of us have depraved sex on camera at our workplaces in order to show respect for them.
I mean, who doesn’t do that, right⁉️
I suppose there might be some total prudes who don’t…..but that’s got to be very rare.
It gets “better”: He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.S. in Society and Environment in 2020.
Yup. There we go. Twink U.
And Society and Environment is a BS major. 😅
Twink major. “Govern me harder!” As they say.
It was supposed to be “Society, Environment, and Buttsex”, but that wouldn’t fit on the diploma.
It is a Propaganda major. Maybe not particularly useful to the graduate but immensely useful to the
governingruling class.Not positive about the news story timing, but it seems like yesterday afternoon, we get the story of a Christian beheading the Satan statue in the Iowa state capitol. Then, yesterday evening, we get the story (with photos) of buttsex by a Ben Cardin staffer in the Hart Senate Office Building followed up this morning with the LinkedIn whine from the gay guy with replies from sane people.
“I bet a lot of us have depraved sex on camera at our workplaces in order to show respect for them.”

BWAHAHAHAHA
My first job at a CPA firm was at a nice yiddische-kopf firm in Encino. The senior partner had been around for a while, and the junior partner was his son-in-law. These were seriously good people.
After I left, to go back to Santa Barbara, I understand that the replacement staff accountant would do lines of coke on the senior partner’s desk late at night.
I suspect that the same level of respect for workplaces might have been in play.
I’m guessing that this guy is one of those two doing the supernasty on camera in the Senate? Probably hasn’t been fired yet, either.
Say, wasn’t Madison Cawthorne hounded out of DC simply for saying that this sort of thing was going on?
Yes. Madison’s X feed has an I told you so.

WOW.
Gateway Pundit, Sen. Ben Cardin fires gay staffer:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/breaking-democrat-senate-staffer-involved-gay-sex-scandal/
Firing is not near enough.
Any time I see a Senate meeting I’m going to have to ask in the comments “Isn’t that where Democrats do gay sex?”
Cardin needs to resign and before he resigns he must scour first and restore next the entire Hart Senate Office building back to it’s former condition before calling a bonafide exorcist to clean the building of all that is unholy filth. If he needs a number to find a bonafide exorcist I’d suggest he put in a call to the former First Lady!
I will make a prediction that the Senate hearing room will have a new table for the next session. Please, please don’t call me a prophet; its just a hunch.
One table is hardly enough! The whole building must be done!

Meanwhile I notice with that story and I’ve checked others X tweets now show again. Also looked around and the old stories that did not have the tweets still do not have the tweets. Also emojis still do not work on twitter.
I wonder if his buddy wipes it on the drapes when he is done.
Nevermind.
I’m just sick to death of the depravity.
I hear you, Scott. I’ve been strongly having the “run away, run away” urge and began seriously thinking 100 miles away from DC is not nearly far away enough.
Looks like a good place to share this:

[When I post the X/Twitter URL, it doesn’t include the video. You have to click on the link here to take you to the interview.]
Yup. X posts are not showing up well anywhere. SD thinks it’s DHS blocking tweets off other platforms. Others are saying it’s X doing work to block a vulnerability. Unsure what it is. People can still post text scrapes. Those are highly resistant to any blocking by DHS.
Thanks. I don’t know what text scrapes are.
Pretty sure it’s a fancy term for highlight some webpage text, then right-click copy to clipboard. Paste somewhere else.
Yup. It’s the technical term!
COPY AND PASTE.
Yup.
Here is a screenshot from Rantingly dot com and they embed X tweets from various twits at the right on their page. I noticed they now have a problem with X posts too. The first at the top right just gives you the text. For some unknown reason, the 2nd post looks normal with graphics too.
So the issue is at X’s end, so to speak.
I’m thinking someone DHS or whomever can squeeze the internets. You can’t right click here or at twitter and get emojis, ours work though. Also noticed a few stories recently posted that only have the links to tweets, when normally you can see the full tweet. Seemed to kick in about 8pm Eastern. Example look at this GWP story posted after 10pm. Three links to tweets in the story but the tweets won’t show in the story, so if you want to see that, you have to click through and leave the story to see the tweet. So it’s not just a word press thing. It’s being applied everywhere.

She sickens me.

Just in case this is a serious inquiry: The “A” in Aromantic is a negation of Romantic I think, like atypical. I believe Aromantic means not romantic.
Robert, you are correct. I got brave and searched for the meaning. Mirriam-Webster defines it thusly: “having little or no romantic feeling toward others : experiencing little or no romantic desire or attraction”
Personally, I shall continue to define it as Fart Sniffers. It’s much better for memeing.

Excellent point here. When they talk about “the old gods”, we’re going back to gods that have no respect for the 10 commandments.
A friend who recently saw a statue of Baphomet in a public space where it wasn’t explained. Decolonization isn’t what you think it is, it is going back to a time before Moses, before the Ten Commandment when they prayed to idols and there were no rules against murder, etc.
It’s a revival of the ancient pagan worship.
This is outlined in the book – The Return of the Gods written by Messianic Jew, Jonathan Cahn
In the book, Cahn explains how the gender movement, abortion and other cultural depravities relate to ancient pagan gods:.
“WHO ARE THESE ‘GODS’?
Cahn argues convincingly that the old pagan gods of ancient times have reasserted themselves, indeed have re-possessed the cultures and peoples who have turned away from God Almighty. As in the days of the Israelites, when they turned from the one, true God, paganism would assert itself in their culture. That many evil spirits were seeking to turn people from God, and to become the focus of worship in Biblical times is well attested in Scripture.
Nothing has changed. Cahn explains that since our nation has turned from God, our culture has become possessed by the Shedim (evil spirits or entities).
THE DARK TRINITY
In Biblical times there were three main false gods, which Cahn describes as the Possessor, The Enchantress, and the Destroyer.
Briefly, the Possessor is Baal. He is the god of the “falling away,” the spirit who initially infects a culture to turn away from God. Next, is the Enchantress or Ishtar. This false god is also known as Ashtoreth, Aphrodite, and Venus, depending on the ancient culture. We will focus on her in a moment. The third member of the Dark Trinity is the Destroyer, or Moloch. He is the god to which ancient cultures, including fallen away Israel, offered up their children in sacrifice.
Ishtar – the Prostitute goddess
Because of the wicked and demonic movement of transgenderism in our world, I’m going to focus on Ishtar.
I was stunned to read that the transgender movement is a very ancient phenomenon. Here are a couple quotes from “The Return of the Gods”:
“An ancient Mesopotamian tablet records the goddess saying these words: When I sit in the alehouse, I am a woman, and I am an exuberant young man.”
“Another ancient writing records her saying this: Though I am a woman I am a noble young man.”
“Her nature was to alter nature and most specifically the nature of male and female, man and woman. An ancient Sumerian hymn reveals her power. It was to…’turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man, to change one into the other…”
Cahn writes that part of Ishtar’s job is to emasculate men, to reprogram boys, to make women like men, to destroy marriage, even to advocate for androgyny. Cahn quotes writer Hazel Loveridge:
“Her androgyny is attested to in her cultic personnel, which included eunuchs and transvestites and during her festival young men carried hoops, a feminine symbol, while young women carried swords.”
Another ancient hymn sung in Ishtar’s praise said:
“She adorns a man as a woman, she adorns a woman as a man.”
This is just a sampling of the degradation of human beings that is being wrought by these pagan gods.”
2 Part interview of Jonathan Cahn by Dr. James Dobson – https://www.drjamesdobson.org/broadcasts/return-of-the-gods-part-1
Review by Virginia Christian Alliance – https://vachristian.org/the-return-of-the-gods-by-jonathan-cahn/
Again I post the book to read about the subject. From there you can go into the specifics of the evil practices from an informed place.
The Unseen Realm – Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Published in 2015 after years of research and dicussions with many theologians and researchers. He passed away earlier this year. He held a PHD in Hebrew and Semitic Languages as well as a masters in history and Hebrew studies.
Historically and scripturally supported with index provided. The ancients knew and accepted what has been sanitized in recent centuries by the evil. It is good that people are rediscovering truth and context. Like so many other things we are discovering, it is all “hiding” in plain sight.
For him it all started with a Sunday morning conversation at church with a friend who was in the same PHD studies in Hebrew. His friend asked him to read Psalm 82 from the Hebrew Bible. He had a major light bulb moment.
He dedicates the book to that friend, Roger. He says, “Someday when the Lord sits me down to have a talk about this, I’m going to remind him that you started this.” 😂
Thanks for the update. I was not aware that Dr. Heiser had died.
For a goddess that has a history that spans equal time as Jesus Christ does today but precedes Christ by 2300 years, this write up above while true is very narrow in scope and leaves way too much out the 2000 plus years of her fabled worship.
Of course I’ve written on this subject many times now. Let’s see if I can pull out some salient points that both defend and assail Cahn because he really does leave out much while getting nothing wrong fact wise except perhaps his interpretations which are not entirely correct IMO.
First Ishtar was not her first incarnation, it was Inanna. Ishtar was Inanna’s first important remake as a goddess as the peoples of Babylon loathed the excesses that followed in her wake. The creation of Ishtar was a Babylonian attempt to both to steal her powers and clean up the decadence running rampant in her aged temples with vices like temple prostitution that sprouted up when the old Akkadian Empire was crumbling 180 years after replacing the Sumerians of whom their gods, the Akkadians kept and adapted. Making her out to be a whore was one of the techniques, but if you read the writings she sort of made it so she could be construed as a whore. The clean up resulted in the usurping of all the old Sumerian gods, casting them eloquently with honors to the underworld so Marduk and his entourage could be elevated above them all, except there was no keeping Inanna down since so many ascribed to her martial powers in war, so she was morphed into Ishtar. (same can be said with Samash, his position was secure though his name was changed to Utu).
Inanna was elevated from a minor goddess by Enheduanna ,(2334 – 2279 BC) the daughter of Sargon the Great and an En priestess to the moon god Sin and first known author in the world as a poetess (princess, priestess, poetess). Sargon was the first recognized empire builder who united city states. Part of that uniting required common cause for the people and religion was an important tool for that and Enheduanna wielded that tool. She gathered the misfits of the day as was the practice for religious leaders since man walked up right and brought them together at the temples in the new cities, making them temple scribes, a practice shared by other peoples but elevated under the Akkadians.
In one of her poems she talks about the people between the sea and the land. The marsh people, an euphemism for the displaced in society that were normally left under the care of clan shaman and yeah some of those will be your lesbians, homosexuals and hermaphrodites, but not all, some would be normal but didn’t fit in well with the warrior caste. Needless to say it was a practice adopted by others and is handed down to us to this day in the form of the behind the scenes bureaucrats we all have come to loathe. It seems most every king’s court had such, some more some less.
Many of the works ascribed to Enheduanna are known today after being unearthed in the last two hundred plus years, after well over 3 millenniums and are available to read. Some of the moar prominent writings said to be from her are here below.
“Enki and the World Order”. Where Inanna steals the Me from her Uncle Eniki. It’s kinda of like Pandora’s Box as the Me contains all the good and evil in the world and Inanna now controls it and this is that story. Part of that story includes Inanna selecting her most provocative clothing and perfuming herself before getting her Uncle drunk enough that he gave her all of the Me, though he did not realize such when he woke in the morning and one of his attendants had to remind him.https://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr113.htm
“Gilgamesh, Enkidu and the Nether World”. Moar commonly known as “The Hippulu Tree” but they took that version back as far as they could so it contains more of some and less of others and actually blends the early tales of Gilgamesh and Inanna’s involvements with him. It’s through later tales during the Babylonian era of Gilgamesh where Innana is often put in the worse light. https://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr1814.htm
“Inana and Ebih”. Ebih is mountain range and Inana defies the chief god An and goes out and destroys it because it would not bow down to her. This perhaps is the greatest praise to Inana’s martial (war) powers. She is most brutal when she wishes. The only mountain range near there is the same from where the Gutians lived, the Zargos mountains. IMO this story was the city states warning the Gutians to behave. A few generations later after Sargon and his nephew Narma Sin were gone, that the Gutians started to move out of the mountains and raise havoc bringing the Akkadians to low point. https://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr132.htm
“Inana’s descent to the Nether World”. Where Inanna goes about poking her nose where it does it not belong and where she is dealt with harshly by her older sister Ereshkigal who follows the rules and has to be bailed out by her uncle Enki. The story gets a remake and speaks of her husband Dumuzi, who did not seem to be too concerned that she was gone so she had him dragged off to replace her in the underworld. Although painted in a bad light with this story, somehow there were woman groups that still worshipped Dumuzi in just prior to Jesus’s time.
“The Exaltation of Inana”. This one is considered to be a biographical work by Enheduanna herself. She even signs the work and by doing so is considered the first known author in the world. In it she laments her being cast out as the chief En priestess by an usurper revolting against the Akkadian Empire and prays to Inana for restoration. By the end of the lament her prayers are answered. https://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section4/tr4072.htm
There are other works attributed to her, but these are the major ones and some but not all of the above are argued about. All have differing versions and have been handed down at various times either by Enheduanna herself or her acolytes or even by the Babylonians and such. Some have been modernized but they don’t stray too far from originals. All of them are just a part of the ancient litituare on the Sumerian and Babylonian gods that replaced them and many them are stories about Inanna, some good, some not so good to include the bar scene talk given above.
Politically the world was not so much different as it is today. Various groups pitted themselves against each other for power. This was not just King vs King but temple vs temple also and the slight morphing of old stories to achieve political ends were going on even back then and the gods got buffeted about for it. Example a stop off place for a king needing political support might be a temple and some of those had many more adherents than others. Opposition would come from another temple that might see loss of patronage as a result and so would start ways to take adherents by bad mouthing other temple groups and that was done by bad mouthing their god. The end result would be the king declaring he was no longer going to follow that god. This happened with an Assyrian king claiming he was no longer going to follow Inanna. He lost his next major battle. Whoops… everyone is back on the Inanna cult worship band wagon which includes from far away places where ever, by this time Ishtar is worshiped such far away places such as in Canan where she is known as Astarte.
In the original Sumerian pantheon there were but seven main gods, An the chief god who preferred not to be bothered with running the world. His son Enil who is charged with watching over the affairs of man, Eniki his brother who is considered most wise, Sin who has the domain of the moon and listens to prayer, Samash who is the sun god, Inna’s brother and keeps men righteous by knowing all that they do so he can properly administer justice, Ereshikgal who rules the underworld until the Babylonians bench her by marrying her off so they can put a man in charge down there , and Inanna, the brat, who was given nothing to watch over so she made everything her affair and always got her way by either wheedling, sexual desires or force. She’s also the one whom everyone fears to go up against because of her temper. The one who leads men into battle and rewards with excess. A wrath or a blessing who decidedly wished to walk as an equal among the gods and men alike. Yeah, so the man vs woman thing has been going on forever and a few days.
ThanQ!!!

“Cahn argues convincingly that the old pagan gods of ancient times have reasserted themselves, indeed have re-possessed the cultures and peoples who have turned away from God Almighty.”
_________
Seems like a slight problem here.
Since there is only one God (cf. Mark 12:32, Romans 3:30, Ephesians 4:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, 1 Corinthians 8:4), therefore all other gods are false — like the Philistines’ fish god, called Dagon, that kept falling over (1 Samuel 5:1-5), or the time Elijah mocked the false god Baal, and all the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, who could not call down fire from their false god (1 Kings 18:20-39).
So something like old pagan gods, which are created by men and therefore do not actually exist, cannot, by definition, reassert themselves.
They can only be reasserted by men, the same source of every other false doctrine, commandment and tradition of men, not coincidentally.
Depends on the meaning of god. Cahn is saying these were real entities; you seem to be saying they are myths.
I would point out that many Scriptural passages describe our God as the one true god. Seems to me that implies the false gods are real but amount to less than the one true God.
And then on the other hand the phrasing of the first commandment implies that there are other gods. And apparently there are plenty of other places that imply there are other gods, it’s just that the Israelites are not to worship them. Newer parts of the OT settle in on there-is-exactly-one-god.
“And then on the other hand the phrasing of the first commandment implies that there are other gods.”
______________
Obviously men could (and did, and still do) create their own false gods — even the Israelites themselves created a golden calf, and then worshipped it, while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments (see Exodus chapter 32).
The first commandment is not acknowledging that these creations of men (like the golden calf) are actually real gods, it is a commandment to not worship any such thing as a ‘god’, which is no god at all.
………………….
“Thou shalt have none other gods before me.” (Deuteronomy 5:7, KJV)
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3, KJV)
………………….
Multiple Scriptures make the same point about false gods being lifeless:
“What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? [19] Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.” (Habakkuk 2:18-19, KJV)
.
“Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. [18] They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.” (Jeremiah 51:17-18, repeated in Jeremiah 10:14-15)
.
There are multiple ‘confrontations’ between God the Father and the false gods of men, e.g., the previously mentioned Dagon of the Philistines, and when the prophets of Baal could not call down fire from the sky in the name of their false god, but when it was Elijah’s turn, fire from the sky consumed the entire sacrifice.
So much fire that even all the water Elijah commanded to be poured on it and around it in a trench (four barrels full of water, three times) made no difference at all when the fire came down.
If any of these other ‘gods’ were real, would they not have prevailed, or at least shown up for the fight?
These were classic, ultimate “put up, or shut up” demonstrations.
Elijah rightly mocked the people who believed in the false gods:
……………….
“And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. [27] And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
[28] And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. [29] And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.” (1 Kings 18:26-29, KJV)
……………….
“Cahn is saying these were real entities; you seem to be saying they are myths.”
_________
Exactly.
.
“I would point out that many Scriptural passages describe our God as the one true god. Seems to me that implies the false gods are real but amount to less than the one true God.”
______________
I would say it more than implies that false gods are, in fact, false.
As a matter of reason, if God created the universe and everything in it, and He is the one and only true God, then how can any other entity claiming to be a god be real, without making the one true God a liar?
I agree that false gods are creations of man and therefore are not gods at all, except man-made ones that have no power. I take statements about false gods being active today to mean that evil spirits are acting as surrogates for what people believed those gods to be, or for what characteristics people had ascribed to them. Evil spirits are influencing people to think the same way and take the same actions as those who “worshipped” the ancient gods of their own creation.
I suspect Cahn is saying that the evil spirits that were active centuries ago have become active again. But as far as I know those are not his actual words, so I can’t speak authoritatively about it.
While I’m not deep into the theological implications of this, I would hesitate to designate false gods as mere creations of man. After all, man did not invent angels, nor demons, nor giants.
It reminds me of a great passage from Zelazny’s Lord of Light —
I do not take false gods as being counterfeit entities, but rather powerful entities that falsely claim godhood.
Nicely stated – that is how I see this, too.
From what little I’ve read, it’s evident that when many of the old gods were first conceived they were on the side of righteousness. Little by little they were undermined until the people turned away from them. The replacement gods were always fashioned a bit better, but it mattered not as they too would eventually be undermined by evil thoughts and practices. The same process is being applied today to the Christian Faith.
Concerning Baphomet, someone once posted an informative and well researched article demonstrating that Baphomet was fictitious, the result of a play on words, an inside joke and arose out of Crusader Wars. Bohemond I of Antioch also known as Bohemond of Taranto, was one of the Norman leaders in the Crusades
She’d go on in her histories of the many ways Bohemond would thwart her father’s will. One of the first being keeping Antioch for his own despite his sworn oath to the Emperor Alexios Comnena that all lands taken back from the Muslims would be returned to the Emperor’s control. This thwarting of the Emperor’s will was underhanded and continued through out the Crusades and often resulted in atrocities taken against native Christians and Muslims alike who didn’t speak any of the Crusader tongues. After such atrocities, where upon inspection by Alexios’s captains of such misdeeds occurring, the common joke or excuse arose that Baphomet did it, a mixture of Bohemond’s name and Muhammad’s name along with a mixture of the old Canninte worship tales still prevalent in the land. Truth blended with fiction and reblended.
Anna Comnena never mentions Bohmet in her histories, indeed the inside joke was unknown to her or irrelevant to her at the time and would not pick up steam until Bohemond’s nephew who was gifted Antioch also refused to hand it over to the emperor. The joke also was practiced by other Crusader leaders to cover up their own misdeeds and quests for fortune. Eventually the Pope would canonize Bohemond and he’d go down in history as a great man.
Baphomet is actually a demon. The exorcists talk to him all the time. He’s the member of the table under Satan who is the demon of child sacrifice, or something like that.
The Catholic traditions [and the storylines that support them] had their birth at the time of Constantine, long past the time of Christ’s Resurrection.
Even though today we use Satan as a name for the head demon [fallen angel], in Scripture he is known as the Adversary or the Accuser [accusing the brothers in Christ].
IIRC Baphomet is found nowhere in Scripture. The closest is Beelzebub which means lord of the flies.
In Job, God addresses a being called Satan:
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. [7] And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” (Job 1:6-7, KJV)

I’m not going to beat a dead horse, but the reality is, to get a full understanding of early Christianity, one needs to read the early Church fathers and doctors. Scripture is the shorthand, which, incidentally, was not assembled as it survives until after Constantine was dead.
To underscore that last statement…the first list of books of the New Testament that survives…that includes *all* of the books we have today and *only* those books…was Athanasius in 368. (He attended the council of Nicaea in his youth, but it’s not the case the the Bible was written at Nicaea or anything like that.) Nor did this list “stick” immediately. It took a while for all Christians to accept once and for all that that was the correct list.
As for the church fathers, their surviving writings are so extensive that we could reassemble almost the entire New Testament from their *quotations* of the New Testament, if we were somehow to lose all other sources, all current copies of the New Testament, and come down with mass amnesia so we couldn’t remember what it said.
Does someone actually think there was no rule against murder before the ten commandments?
I don’t. The Sumerians and the Egyptians had moral codes against murder, certainly. I could probably find other examples.
I have no idea whether they believed their laws came from God Himself, however.
Yes, but please read the tweet Wolf quoted. THAT person actually thinks so.
I doubt it. But “more Democrat” (flexible?
situational?) codes of ethics being more common is the implication. E.g., child sacrifice being OK.

Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and this “expert”, Mr. Nirenberg, know d@mnwell that “frameshifting” is another name for the naturally-occurring process of mutation in viruses. IMO, what’s going on with the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” is the artificial imposition of “frameshifting” in the lab to create “newer versions” of these “vaccines.” The people doing this artificial “frameshifting”, have NO idea of what they’re doing, BUT ARE STILL DOING IT.
This is ON TOP OF the “semi-artificial” creation of COVID-19 virus mutations DUE TO THE MECHANISMS AND ACTIONS OF THE “VACCINES” THEMSELVES AT WORK IN THE BODIES OF THE “VACCINATED.”

Oh shit – unraveling has commenced.
Now what do they do?
Well for one, they made cross platform sharing moar difficult. Tweets are now only links to articles and the actual tweets no longer show. Needless to say many will pass those links by. For some odd reason they have also done away with emojis on twitter (here too if you liked to use your right click button for that version of emojis). Can’t figure that one out. Guess folks are going to have remember how it was done back in the day 🙂
As expected, the blurring of people, is very selective and only certain people are blurred.
Perhaps the blur artists’ fingers got tired of blurring.

“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

wow! baby named Lord was picked up during a tornado and was found alive and safe in a tree.
article
A four-month-old baby has been found alive “by the grace of God” his parents said after the child was sucked up into a tornado in Tennessee.
The couple said a deadly tornado on Saturday tore apart their mobile home, picking up a bassinet with the baby still inside of it.
He survived and was discovered in a fallen tree in the pouring rain.
The baby, his one-year-old brother and parents only suffered from minor cuts and bruises.
As the tornado approached, the mother of two, 22-year-old Sydney Moore, said the roof of their mobile home was ripped off.
“The tip of the tornado came down and picked up the bassinet with my baby, Lord, in it,” Ms Moore told a local news station. “He was the first thing to go up.”
Her boyfriend – and the boy’s father – lunged to protect Lord in the bassinet, but ended up getting picked up by the tornado, too.
Watch: Explosion and fireball seen as storm sweeps through Tennessee
“He was just holding on to the bassinet the whole time, and they went into circles, he said, and then they got thrown,” Ms Moore said.
As that was happening, Ms Moore grabbed her one-year-old son, Princeton.
“Something in me just told me to run and jump on top of my son,” Ms Moore said. “Literally the moment I jumped on him, the walls collapsed.”
“I was being really crushed. I couldn’t breathe,” Ms Moore recalled.
After the tornado passed, Ms Moore was able to escape the crush of the rubble with Princeton. She and her boyfriend immediately started searching for Lord.
After looking for their baby in the pouring rain, they found the child – alive – in what Ms Moore says “looked like a little tree cradle”.

“I thought he was dead,” Ms Moore said. “I was pretty sure he was dead and we weren’t going to find him.”
“But he’s here, and that’s by the grace of God.”
Ms Moore’s sister, Caitlyn Moore, has started a GoFundMe to help them after the tornado completely destroyed their car and home.
The children and Ms Moore escaped with only minor cuts and bruises, but her boyfriend suffered a broken arm and shoulder, Caitlyn Moore says.

According to the GoFundMe, Lord “looked like he was placed on the tree gently” – as if “an angel guided him safely to that spot”.
“I will die for my kids. That’s not even a question. And my boyfriend would do the same thing,” Ms Moore said.

NY GOP Picks Mazi Melesa Pilip – a Registered Democrat – to Succeed Conservative George Santos to Represent New York’s 3rd Congressional District

Still, probably VERRRRY liberal…
I think I read that she is an Israelis paratrooper of African decent. Still though she’s a registered democrat, though admittingly she’s done some republican stuff. Can’t remember what that was though, but I think I got the other stuff right.

Wolfmoon and other science people, please help me here, if you can.
I know this is terribly over-simplified, but I’m trying to figure something out.
So, DNA makes RNA, which makes proteins, which make US, is my understanding.
I also think I understand that DNA is “compelled” or instructed to make the RNA based on an encounter with something in the body.
So, for example, if a person’s DNA encounters a carcinogenic substance, it can cause the DNA to produce RNA that produces a “bad protein” that becomes cancer. IS THAT CORRECT?
I saw a video a few years ago that explained this stuff to me, and I am confirming that I understand the basics. Then I will be able to go forward.
From what little I know, cancer is a corruption of the DNA itself…not the process of copying to RNA. So the RNA copied from the DNA is bad, because the DNA is bad.
But…others more knowledgeable about this particular sort of thing can confirm that. I’m no expert when it comes to science about gooshy things.
“science about gooshy things”
What Steve said, pretty much. Messing with the blueprints (DNA) in a way that doesn’t destroy the cell, and can’t be repaired, leads to bad cells that keep dividing and don’t die.
Thanks. I think I figured out what I need to know from Steve’s and your response.

“BREAKING “Biden” — We’re “Investing” in 3 New Covid “Vaccines”‘
AND HERE’S THE SKINNY BEHIND THIS:
http://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/10/13/project-nextgen-selects-initial-vaccine-awards-over-500-million-advance-development-vaccines-therapeutics.html
Yours Truly: The $500 million in awards listed in this article IS ON TOP OF the $1.4 billion already awarded in August 2023. This is all for something called PROJECT NEXTGEN.
HERE ARE THE TAKE AWAYS:
One: The 3 new COVID-19 “vaccines” that are getting awards to push the following products to Phase 2b clinical trials are these: A vector-based intranasal “vaccine” candidate; a live-attenuated intranasal “vaccine” candidate; and, a self-amplifying mRNA “vaccine” candidate. IMO, it appears that the government, not happy with the fact that the injectable COVID-19 “vaccines” didn’t “do the job”, is now going after getting these “vaccines” directly into peoples’ lungs. Of great concern are the live-attenuated and the self-amplifying mRNA “vaccine” candidates.

Please see Slide 12 and Slide 13 in this article regarding what the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do to lung tissues. The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” basically induce massive amounts of inflammation in the lungs, which then proliferates massive amounts of lymphocytes. The huge amounts of lymphocytes “overrun” the alveoli (the “air-filled spaces”) in the inflamed lungs, greatly reducing them and filling the spaces with scar tissue.
Note: The COVID-19 virus itself also induces inflammation of the lungs of an infected person. HOWEVER, the body can fight this off. Ivermectin can help here. So can HCQ. So can Zinc, Quercetin, vitamin D, and NAC. The difference between a natural infection of the COVID-19 virus itself and the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, is that the “vaccines” induce CONTINUOUS inflammation of the lungs in the “vaccine” recipient, with responding CONTINUOUS production of immune-system cells to fight off this CONTINUOUS inflammation. This is because the mechanism of the COVID-19 “vaccines” is to “fake” recipient’s body into believing, and responding to, CONTINUOUS virus infection. OF COURSE the “immunity” given by a COVID-19 “vaccine” wears off “rapidly” — that’s because the recipient’s IMMUNE SYSTEM IS BEING DEPLETED WITH EVERY DOSE OF THESE “VACCINES.”
Sorry. I’ll take natural immunity.
Yikes. This is not significally different from poisoning. And that is before looking at any subtler effects on the immune system — nevermind whether IGgs or T-cells or whatever continue working as they should, since the body already perished from lack of oxygen.
Massive inflammation of the lungs … filling the alveoli spaces with scar tissue.
The alveolis are the ends of the various branches of the windpipe tree, where the gasses in the blood are exchanged with the air in the lungs and anything that gets in the way of that will be bad news.
Filling this with scar tissue sounds like an exceedingly bad idea. There is this thing called lung fibrosis, that appears as a side-effect of some drugs, but here it appears to be part of the main effect?
Murder most foul.
That actually works.

https://www.sikhnet.com/news/islamic-india-biggest-holocaust-world-history
The genocide suffered by the Hindus of India at the hands of Arab, Turkish, Mughal and Afghan occupying forces for a period of 800 years is as yet formally unrecognised by the World.
With the invasion of India by Mahmud Ghazni about 1000 A.D., began the Muslim invasions into the Indian subcontinent and they lasted for several centuries. Nadir Shah made a mountain of the skulls of the Hindus he killed in Delhi alone. Babur raised towers of Hindu skulls at Khanua when he defeated Rana Sanga in 1527 and later he repeated the same horrors after capturing the fort of Chanderi. Akbar ordered a general massacre of 30,000 Rajputs after he captured Chithorgarh in 1568. The Bahamani Sultans had an annual agenda of killing a minimum of 100,000 Hindus every year.
The history of medieval India is full of such instances. The holocaust of the Hindus in India continued for 800 years, till the brutal regimes were effectively overpowered in a life and death struggle by the Sikhs in the Panjab and the Hindu Maratha armies in other parts of India in the late 1700’s.
We have elaborate literary evidence of the World’s biggest holocaust from existing historical contemporary eyewitness accounts. The historians and biographers of the invading armies and subsequent rulers of India have left quite detailed records of the atrocities they committed in their day-to-day encounters with India’s Hindus.
These contemporary records boasted about and glorified the crimes that were committed – and the genocide of tens of millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhist and Jainist, mass rapes of women and the destruction of thousands of ancient Hindu / Buddhist temples and libraries have been well documented and provide solid proof of the World’s biggest holocaust.
Quotes from modern historians
Dr. Koenraad Elst in his article “Was There an Islamic Genocide of Hindus?” states:
“There is no official estimate of the total death toll of Hindus at the hands of Islam. A first glance at important testimonies by Muslim chroniclers suggests that, over 13 centuries and a territory as vast as the Subcontinent, Muslim Holy Warriors easily killed more Hindus than the 6 million of the Holocaust. Ferishtha lists several occasions when the Bahmani sultans in central India (1347-1528) killed a hundred thousand Hindus, which they set as a minimum goal whenever they felt like punishing the Hindus; and they were only a third-rank provincial dynasty.
The biggest slaughters took place during the raids of Mahmud Ghaznavi (ca. 1000 CE); during the actual conquest of North India by Mohammed Ghori and his lieutenants (1192 ff.); and under the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526).“
He also writes in his book “Negation in India”:
“The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter.”
Will Durant argued in his 1935 book “The Story of Civilisation: Our Oriental Heritage” (page 459):
Alain Danielou in his book, Histoire de l’ Inde writes:
“The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period.”
Francois Gautier in his book ‘Rewriting Indian History’ (1996) wrote:
“The massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese.”
“From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoliations, and destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of ‘a holy war’ of their faith, of their sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilizations, wiped out entire races.”
Irfan Husain in his article “Demons from the Past” observes:
“While historical events should be judged in the context of their times, it cannot be denied that even in that bloody period of history, no mercy was shown to the Hindus unfortunate enough to be in the path of either the Arab conquerors of Sindh and south Punjab, or the Central Asians who swept in from Afghanistan…The Muslim heroes who figure larger than life in our history books committed some dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni, Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak, all have blood-stained hands that the passage of years has not cleansed..Seen through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion of their homeland was an unmitigated disaster.
“Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women raped, their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of Ghazni entered Somnath on one of his annual raids, he slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long and painful. These conquerors justified their deeds by claiming it was their religious duty to smite non-believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they claimed they were fighting for their faith when, in reality, they were indulging in straightforward slaughter and pillage…”
The Persian historian Wassaf writes in his book ‘Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar wa Tajriyat ul Asar’ that when the Alaul-Din Khilji (An Afghan of Turkish origin and second ruler of the Khilji Dynasty in India 1295-1316 AD) captured the city of Kambayat at the head of the gulf of Cambay, he killed the adult male Hindu inhabitants for the glory of Islam, set flowing rivers of blood, sent the women of the country with all their gold, silver, and jewels, to his own home, and made about twentv thousand Hindu maidens his private slaves.
A sample of contemporary eyewitness accounts of the invaders and rulers, during the Indian conquests
The Afghan ruler Mahmud al-Ghazni invaded India no less than seventeen times between 1001 – 1026 AD. The book ‘Tarikh-i-Yamini’ – written by his secretary documents several episodes of his bloody military campaigns : “The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously [at the Indian city of Thanesar] that the stream was discoloured, notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it…the infidels deserted the fort and tried to cross the foaming river…but many of them were slain, taken or drowned… Nearly fifty thousand men were killed.”
In the contemporary record – ‘ Taj-ul-Ma’asir’ by Hassn Nizam-i-Naishapuri, it is stated that when Qutb-ul- Din Aibak (of Turko – Afghan origin and the First Sultan of Delhi 1194-1210 AD) conquered Meerat, he demolished all the Hindu temples of the city and erected mosques on their sites. In the city of Aligarh, he converted Hindu inhabitants to Islam by the sword and beheaded all those who adhered to their own religion.
This ruler once asked his spiritual advisor (or ‘Qazi’) as to what was the Islamic law prescribed for the Hindus. The Qazi replied:
“Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Mohammadan desires to spit into a Hindu’s mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus to be slaves of the Mohammadans. The Prophet hath ordained that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be imprisoned, tortured, finally put to death, and their property confiscated.”
“they said that on the great day of battle these 100,000 prisoners could not be left with the baggage, and that it would be entirely opposed to the rules of war to set these idolaters and foes of Islam at liberty.
“In fact, no other course remained but that of making them all food for the sword’
Timur thereupon resolved to put them to death. He proclaimed :
“throughout the camp that every man who has infidel prisoners was to put them to death, and whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. When this order became known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death. 100,000 infidels, impious idolaters, were on that day slain. Maulana Nasir-ud-din Umar, a counselor and a man of learning, who, in all his life had never killed a sparrow, now, in execution of my order, slew with his sword fifteen idolatrous Hindus, who were his captives“.
“In a short space of time all the people in the [Delhi] fort were put to the sword, and in the course of one hour the heads of 10,000 infidels were cut off. The sword of Islam was washed in the blood of the infidels, and all the goods and effects, the treasure and the grain which for many a long year had been stored in the fort became the spoil of my soldiers.
“They set fire to the houses and reduced them to ashes, and they razed the buildings and the fort to the ground….All these infidel Hindus were slain, their women and children, and their property and goods became the spoil of the victors. I proclaimed throughout the camp that every man who had infidel prisoners should put them to death, and whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. When this order became known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death.”
The Mughal emperor Babur (who ruled India from 1526 -1530 AD) writing in his memoirs called the ‘Baburnama’ – wrote : ” In AH 934 (2538 C.E.) I attacked Chanderi and by the grace of Allah captured it in a few hours. We got the infidels slaughtered and the place which had been Daru’l-Harb (nation of non-muslims) for years was made into a Daru’l-Islam (a muslim nation).”
In Babur’s own words in a poem about killing Hindus (From the ‘Baburnama’ ) he wrote :
“For the sake of Islam I became a
wanderer,
I battled infidels and Hindus,
I determined to become a martyr
Thank God I became a Killer of
Non-Muslims!”
The atrocities of the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan (who ruled India between 1628 – 1658 AD) are mentioned in the contemporary record called : ‘Badshah Nama, Qazinivi & Badshah Nama , Lahori’ and goes on to state : “When Shuja was appointed as governor of Kabul he carried on a ruthless war in the Hindu territory beyond Indus…The sword of Islam yielded a rich crop of converts….Most of the women (to save their honour) burnt themselves to death. Those captured were distributed among Muslim Mansabdars (Noblemen)”
The Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali attacked India in 1757 AD and made his way to the holy Hindu city of Mathura, the Bethlehem of the Hindus and birthplace of Krishna.
The atrocities that followed are recorded in the contemporary chronicle called : ‘Tarikh-I-Alamgiri’ :
“Abdali’s soldiers would be paid 5 Rupees (a sizeable amount at the time) for every enemy head brought in. Every horseman had loaded up all his horses with the plundered property, and atop of it rode the girl-captives and the slaves. The severed heads were tied up in rugs like bundles of grain and placed on the heads of the captives…Then the heads were stuck upon lances and taken to the gate of the chief minister for payment.
“It was an extraordinary display! Daily did this manner of slaughter and plundering proceed. And at night the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people…All those heads that had been cut off were built into pillars, and the captive men upon whose heads those bloody bundles had been brought in, were made to grind corn, and then their heads too were cut off. These things went on all the way to the city of Agra, nor was any part of the country spared.”
Banda Singh Bahadur was tortured to death after being imprisoned for 3 months. The heart of Banda Singh’s son was put in his mouth in an attempt to humiliate him
Why we should remember
The biggest holocaust in World History has been whitewashed from history.
When we hear the word HOLOCAUST most of us think immediately of the Jewish holocaust. Today, with increased awareness and countless cinema films and television documentaries – many of us are also aware of the Holocaust of the Native American peoples, the genocide of the Armenian peoples in the Ottoman Empire, and the millions of African lives lost during the Atlantic slave trade.
Europe and America produced at least a few thousand films highlighting the human misery caused by Hitler and his army. The films expose the horrors of Nazi regime and reinforce the beliefs and attitude of the present day generation towards the evils of the Nazi dictatorship.
In contrast look at India. There is hardly any awareness among the Indians of today of what happened to their ancestors in the past, because a great majority of historians are reluctant to touch this sensitive subject.
The World seems to either ignore or just does not seem to care about the many millions of lives lost during the 800 – year long holocaust of Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhist in India.
The Indian historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in World history. This slaughter of millions of people occurred over regular periods during many centuries of Arab, Afghan, Turkish and Mughal rule in India.
Many Indian heroes emerged during these dark times – including the 10th Sikh Guru – Guru Gobind Singh and also the Hindu Maratha king – Shivaji Maratha – who led the resistance against this tyranny and eventually led to its defeat by the late 1700s – after centuries of death and destruction.
The modern World today is facing a global threat from organizations and groups of terrorists such as the ISIS, Taliban and Al-Qaeeda – whose ideology is chillingly similar to that of the perpetrators of the World’s biggest holocaust in India.
Let us hope that the bloody lessons of the past are learnt so that history does not even have the remotest chance of repeating itself.
religion of peace don’t ya know
Horrifying.
Unreal, the spectators are actually on the race track
Here’s the full comment that Elon called “insignful”…..
X Has Already Won
Elon Musk closed the acquisition of Twitter, now X, in October of 2022. Once that deal was closed, a bunch of advertisers left the platform out of fear of their brands being impacted by the new “Freedom of Speech” rules that X was looking to implement.
The premise was that ads would be shown next to content that advertisers don’t want to be associated with, and because X would now allow more “improper” content, the chances of having a negative ad experience could increase.
After leaving the platform for a few weeks, almost all advertisers have come back, albeit with lower ad spends. However, earlier this year, X gave guidance that the platform is near cash-flow neutral, minus debt obligations. This means that even though the platform has suffered losses in terms of ad revenue, the company is close to being self-sufficient.
In other words, no outside cash has to be brought into the company to keep it alive, as long as the trend continues.
Fast forward a few months, and after controversial comments made by Elon and an effort by Media Matters to encourage advertisers to boycott the platform, advertisers left again.
However – just like the first time, after a few weeks, advertisers are beginning to come back. There’s confirmation that Netflix has started to spend ad money on the platform again, and per Elon at his recent conference in Italy, advertisers are beginning to come back to the platform en masse.
I think all of this points to something quite clear – the Overton Window is beginning to shift, and with it, a massively profitable endeavor for advertisers.
For those that are not familiar, the Overton Window is a term used to express what is “acceptable” to be discussed in a given time period. If you compare what is acceptable to be discussed on X today, vs what was acceptable on Twitter pre-acquisition, you can very clearly see that the “acceptable” topics are much more diverse and plentiful. This means that the Overton Window has shifted.
Another example of this is also on YouTube. A few days ago, Mario hosted a space with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and other folks discussing Alex’s reinstatement and a bunch of other topics. These topics pre-acquisition would not be admissible under Twitter’s former rules. What’s really interesting is that after making this edited content available on YouTube, YouTube has a) not taken down the content from the platform and b) allowed monetization on the content.
This implies that advertisers are now becoming comfortable advertising on content that they weren’t comfortable with in the past.
What does this mean for X? It’s quite simple – X’s willingness to stand for Free Speech, even when the CEO makes statements that cause the business to temporarily lose revenue, is creating a brand new market for advertisers that previously did not exist precisely due to an unwillingness to embrace Freedom of Speech.
And because X’s entire approach has been to uphold Freedom of Speech and accept the repercussions that come with it, the platform has positioned itself as the premier place for content that will be generated on this principle.
This same content is a market that advertisers have had 0 access to in the past because of the unwillingness of platforms to embrace Freedom of Speech, and the skittishness of ad agencies to sully their brands with controversial topics. On top of this, it’s a market that is untapped, which will generate billions of views, and billions of dollars, for creators and advertisers alike.
I do not suspect we’ll see another advertisers boycott in the future because of this dynamic. There’s way too much money to be made, and now that the Overton Window has shifted to where the “public” is now “comfortable” with listening to dissenting and controversial opinions, advertisers will be tripping over themselves to advertise on X over the long term.
In my opinion, people respect the notion of being allowed to think for themselves, and because this has been subdued for far too long, there will be an avalanche of interest for content that is specifically challenging and controversial. Ultimately, this will be massively profitable for advertisers due to the engagement and attention it’ll receive from the public.
I posited when Elon bought the platform that X would win if they could make Freedom of Speech profitable, and I think we’re starting to see glimpses of this being the case.
Great news. Looking forward to Elon reaping Millions from the lawsuit with, IIRC, Media Matters.
