Decelebrating Decerebrating Ramadan

A real philosopher pushes wisdom where it has not been before. That includes demolishing erroneous ideologies. Today Ramadan starts and many Muslims are all excited. Ramadan does not corresponds to an astronomical event… whereas many other feasts do, such as the Winter or Summer Solstices, or calendar dates corresponding to Spring, as in the more than 3,000 years old Persian Nowruz, or harvesting in the northern hemisphere, etc.

Respecting religions is fashionable, but it’s all about respecting the religions in power and the mental retardation they inflict. Older religions such as that of the Aztecs, Nazism or Marxism-Leninism are not fashionable anymore. But Islam, which is so primitive that it follows a lunar calendar, like the Romans at some point well before Julius Caesar, is among the respectable religions in part because the powers that be are in bed with the likes of Aramco, the most powerful national oil company that provides oil and rules with Islam. One of several doing this. And reinvesting their money, thus power, on Wall Street. Also the powers that be like to replace creative, but rebellious Euro-Americans with submissives who kneel five times a day… And have only a passion for enforcing what they have embraced, submission…

Muslims, by faith are supposed to not know the most basic astronomy: they believe their big guy in the sky moves the Moon as he sees fit: 

Following the sighting of the crescent by the moon-sighting committee, Saudi Arabia has announced that the first day of fasting will be Monday, March 11, 2024. Ramadan from Arabic Ramadan (Turkish and Persian ramazan), originally meant “the hot month,” from ramida “be burnt, scorched”… It makes sense not to eat during the hot month, but then the moon moved the month around, a full cycle in 33 years… The idea obviously came from the 40 days of fasting in Lent… Old French quaresme 

Islam is one of the twists of Abrahamism, itself a cocktail of Middle East superstitions and tall tales in support of hydraulic dictatorships. There are about 1.9 billion Muslims around the world, approximately 25 percent of the world population. If they follow wacko and have nukes, it should matter to all… Submission-Islam concerns all, and shall be feared. It’s not just about women being told they are half of men and should be beaten:

This is all from Uthman’s Quran… which most people close to Muhammad hated and rose in revolt against…A Muslim friend, who pretends to be interested by science, astronomy and the future, alerted the Internet: “Tomorrow is Ramadan Mubarak. I am ready to fast. Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims around the world.“

Patrice Ayme replied: Ramadan mubarak? Blessed Ramadan? Celebrating the rites of primitive savages religions as if they were worth respecting, does not have a future.

The friend, MBT from Algeria in turn retorted that: Sorry, the post is not a celebration of religions. I have Muslim friends, and I live in a Muslim country, and here comes the month of Ramadan, and fasting is very important for health. What does this comment have to do with this post?

All right, this called for a broadside against one of the world’s most tyranical superstitions, here it is: I fast too, all the time. I don’t pretend it’s to satisfy primitives because they are all around, and I desperately want to please them so I can have friends. I prefer no friends to friendship with savages. It’s a moral principle: savagery should be discouraged, and the privilege of my friendship withdrawn, so as not to encourage mental retardation. Actually, not being a savage, friendship with savages is impossible. 

The word “cretin” comes from Christian, because to believe in love and cannibalism and god nailed on a cross while omnipotent, yet whining about love and touting the cross as excellent for mental health… One has to be, indeed, a colossal cretin… Am I going to drink the blood of cretinous Christ and eat his flesh because I happen to have cretinous Christians all around? To hell with them! Let them at least feel what they deserve…

40 years ago in the USA, cretinous christians were all around… They actually evoked the lord before eating. Now much less so since my friend Obama became president and obviously didn’t believe in christian sadomasochism… To start with Submission (“Islam”) is even more sexist than cretinism, I mean christianism… with god perched on a cross to make us all feel bad…

No way to build an auspicious future for humanity by celebrating superstitions which killed millions, and set civilization back by centuries (when the discoverer of blood circulation was burned alive over a few hours with his books in Geneva, the publication of the discovery was set back by a full century, and is now attributed to some Englishman… Because the English, second only to Christ, discovered the word…) 

Islam has been a disaster for what used to be the world’s wealthiest and more advanced place. What kind of god is it who can’t take offense from a lowly human? Verily Islam is an excuse for dictatorship… Just as Theodosius I’s catholicism was such an excuse in 380 CE: that’s where the parrot known as Islam comes from: Roman imperial tyrannic terror justified by fascist unhinged Allah in the sky with shards of sadistic diamonds…

Mental retards are OK, if it’s genetic: not their fault, let’s be generous and merciful. But the imposition of cultural mental retardation is something else entirely. The Marxists tried that, the Nazis did, the Putinists do… And of course Christianity tried to impose as much mental retardation as possible as long as possible… Because only then could the mental retards at the head of Catholicism go on with their corruption and self-service…

The amount of violence prescribed in the Quran is astounding… and certainly to be feared, if interpreted literally: VIOLENCE IN “HOLY QUR’AN”. (https://patriceayme.wordpress.com/…/some-violence-in…/) To tell us we are racist when we fear Islam aims to make us all more stupid than we already are… Meanwhile the fascist Catholic in chief, anxious to please his Czar in Moscow, asked Ukraine to surrender to the worst tyrant humanity has ever seen… potentially.

“I think that the strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates,” Pope Francis said… Right, this is worse, way worse than anything Islam can do short term or even medium term. But it’s Catholicism which got Islam started… in several ways: his cousin, the chief missionary Catholic in Arabia, told Muhammad that he had seen Archangel Gabriel in the desert… Then the archbishop of Alexandria offered Muhammad priceles slaves… including the woman Muhammad got his only son from, and Muhammad was extremely attached to the child who unfortunately died shortly before his father…

The worst irony into all this is that Muhammad was very woman’s lib: he did much for the lives of girls and he refused to admit to his beloved wife Aisha’s infidelities and modified the Quran so that she couldn’t be accused (requiring four witnesses, etc.)

Also, more generally Muhammad was not rigid: he started with massacring the Jews of Medina, but later came to consider not just Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians as people of the book, but also Sabeans, etc… Extending protection to them. And there are more than 100 types of Islam, so… Those with a superstitious approach to Islam miss the point… The point Muhammad tried to make…

Europe Immigration Massacre

 

Something went wrong in the general picture of Europe as the den of horrendous colonialists, projecting force worldwide: the previously allegedly exploited masses swim across the Mediterranean like lemmings, in their apparent desire to be exploited some more.

And they drown like lemmings.

Greece and Italy suffer the brunt of the “invasion” (which should be properly viewed as an opportunity). Just last year Italy imprisoned 171,000 refugees from Africa, and more than 50,000 from the Middle East.

Mass Death By Hypocritical Bureaucracy

Amnesty International condemned the very latest European measures as “Mesurettes” (little measures in French). I agree. Maybe to compensate for the appearances of measurettes, France and Britain speak about going to the United Nations to get the authorization to sink the boats of the enemy (apparently, the enemy  would be all fishers, trawlers and commercial boats from Algeria to Turkey?)

It reminds one of Obama’s drone policy (now “under review“, after killing Western hostages, announced a contrite Obama yesterday). Hey what could go wrong with bombing civilians one has observed, doing stuff? If bombing civilians is good for Obama, worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, why is it not good for France and Britain? Eternal peace beckons…

In truth, the immigration problem to Europe forces a complete revision of what it means to be a “progressive”, dismantling 70 years of “anti-colonialist” hare-brained self-glorification discourse by pseudo-intellectuals of great renown.

Europe wants the advantages of empire to persist, such as material wealth, health, lack of risk taking, social laziness, and philosophical comfort. While Europe does not want to endure the costs of empire.

Europe is an empire which wants fate to provide, but does not want to contribute to fate with an enlightened vision.

The cost of empire means, first to master one’s vital space (Lebensraum in German). An empire masters its environment through military force, used, threatened, or implicit. Military means are viewed as primitive by (most) Europeans. So are demographic means. Overall, Europe has a timid, not to say senile, approach to the world, a mix of greed, fear, and laziness, physical and philosophical.

The case of Libya is typical: France and Britain finally finished the war France had been engaged with the Libyan dictator, on and off, for decades. However, they were mostly alone in Europe. Strong support came only from Obama’s USA. Any follow-up was no of the advantage of China, Russia, and, generally, all the countries in the world, which do not want to see Europe behave as if it were an empire.

It is OK for Russia, China, the USA, Indonesia, and even Australia, to behave like empires, ravaging the planetary environment, imposing their ways and means, but, for Europe to do so, the Europeans agree that it should not be.

Thus Libya, long part of Europe, as part of its ancestral civilizations of Phoenicia, Greece and Rome, was left to its own instruments, after having been decapitated.

This European self-flagellation and mortification is all for the better, as it fits the mood of dolce vita which Europeans are very much attached to.

In particular, it was self-congratulatory, rather than analytical, for European intellectuals to rant against colonialism. So now here we are: tens of millions of people are trying to get into Europe, thousands are dying, trying to do so.

This is not without similarities with the crisis that put an end to the Roman empire. Rome was depopulating, and increasingly senile. Various barbarians were trying to get in, by force. Rome accepted refugees, but, often without integrating them well.

So here we are again.

Rome ought to have projected force, mental and physical. But plutocracy is fundamentally idiotic, so Rome became ever more stupid. All the moral force provided was Christianism (and thank god for that). So, when the barbarians more or less conquered the empire, at least they were philosophically compatible with Rome.

So what to do?

Fix Africa, fix the Middle-East, by projecting the mental and physical force necessary for the continuation of the advantages of the European empire. Yes, it means American sized military budgets. It also means a strong immigration policy, a chosen immigration and integration policy (as Canada and the USA use).

If this path is not chosen, actors unfriendly to Europe, such as Daesh, the USA, China, will extend their empire in Africa and the Middle East, Europe’s doorstep, and the door will soon give way.

The number one problem of Europe is demographic and cultural depopulation. Poorly managed immigration and empire make it worse. In a way the migrants are saying that it is empire (of law and goodness), or death. Let’s listen, and learn.

Obama Right On Syria

Might does not make right, but right needs might.

My frienemies at the New York Times thought smart to pose as superior moral characters with two front pages editorials today on Syria, both entitled “Wrong On Syria”. They lambasted president Obama for doing what I told him to do (at last someone who listens to me!). What did I tell him to do? Bomb (the bad guys in) Syria. First I wanted to do in Assad the Plutocrat, but I admit that the Caliphate is an even juicier objective.

Once upon a time a Frankish-Mongol army entered Damascus (that was not long after the same characters, with Armenian and Georgian help, had destroyed the Caliphate in Baghdad). History does not just repeat itself, its very rich.

Civilization has to be defended. Obama has understood this. Annual spending, in constant dollars, by the Department of Energy and the Atomic Energy Commission on nuclear weapons research, development, testing and production:

Morality & Justice Without Force Are Not To Be

[It’s all right that you be wrong, as long as I can flatten you.]

One does not want to make the Roman mistake of edifying what came to known as the “Limes”… The limit of the empire, a succession of walls, forts, garrisons, and legions, all around the Empire. Thus, when the bad guys broke through the limes, there was nothing to stop them: the interior of the Empire was essentially defenseless. Very rich, and very defenseless. When the Goths rampaged through Roman Asia, the Balkans, and Greece, in the middle of the Third Century, it took years to send a Roman army after them (they immediately fled).

On December 31, 406 CE, the Rhine froze so thoroughly and suddenly, that entire German nations galloped across. Among them, the Vandals. By then, thanks to an austerity program, the Roman army was actually the Frankish army. The Franks, who had beaten the Germans several times in years prior, in Bavaria, were taken by complete surprise, thanks to this freak weather event. After a torrent of German nations (reminiscent of the “torrent of German tanks” of May 1940) pierced through the Alsatian plain, there was nothing to stop them. The Vandals charged through Gaul, and then Spain. They soon invaded rich and completely defenseless Africa, which had known peace, the famed Pax Romana, for 5 centuries.

Italy, and Rome, never recovered from this.

History exists, to inform us. Syria and Mesopotamia used to be part of the Roman empire, so Obama can argue we are back home.

Even earlier in history, recent, 2014 genetic studies show that Mesopotamian, Fertile Crescent farming came to Europe under the form of the farmers who knew how to do it. This result was obtained by genetic analysis of Greeks… who are therefore, at least, partly, Iraqis.

So the West ought to relax: the Middle Earth is where it’s coming from. Russia is eleven time zones across, but Mesopotamia is just a time zone away from Paris and London. It’s the suburbs. Time to take care of them, by subjugating the awful systems of ideas that festered there (without naming it, of course, some of the critique of Obama at the UN could be viewed as pointed straight towards the Qur’an, which contains therein an evil system of thought, in no way less Satanic than the one in the Bible, as the Cathars no doubt noticed).

The New York Times editorials stupidly argued that Obama and Hollande had no right to bomb Iraq, and needed a UN Security Council authorization. That’s doubly dumb: first, common sense, human rights, the teaching of history, can override the UNSC. Although India just successfully sent a probe to Mars, the UN, and is predecessor, the SDN, were fundamentally French ideas which were finally implemented by the USA in 1944 (San Francisco, Bretton Woods).

Secondly, of course, Iraq is a sovereign nation. So if the legitimate government of Iraq wants France and the USA to bomb the bad guys on its territory, that is its sovereign prerogative. And that’s exactly what happened.

OK, the situation is extremely messy: there are bad guys all over. But that does not mean goodness ought to sit on its hands. That was the mistake made in 1936, when the rogue African army of general Franco attacked the Spanish Republic. France announced loudly she would intervene, and then backed-off, while the Nazis and Italian fascists got emboldened. In the end, Franco and his professional killers assassinated millions of Spaniards, and the Nazis and fascists got trained in all sorts of ways. Meanwhile, the Western democracies got used to the idea that it was better to do nothing.

This time, the show of force is a lesson to the world. Obama said at the UN that force was the only language the killers understood. Yes, right. And one of these killers is Putin. The Kremlin dictator stands warned: if he wants war too much, he will get it.

Using extreme violence is not the best outcome for superior morality, but it is sometimes the one and only optimal outcome, as far as civilization is concerned. This is such a case. The New York Times can pose all it wants, it’s as wrong as it was in 2003, justifying the invasion of Iraq.
