Inexcusable, Criminal Acts of Malice in Search of Remedies

THE YOUNG MUST BE TAUGHT

 and given strict, consistent, unwavering examples of self-discipline, and respect for others together with lessons and modeling in

• Constructive use of time (in labor and leisure)
• Peaceful coexistence, civility, community (neighborliness)
• On life’s daily journey willing outreach toward understanding others who may appear in some way to be different or to have different values or practices.

Fools and undisciplined people believe they are the be-all and end-all. Believe that they have a “right” to act out their bigotry—in effect, “the” “right to bigotry,” “the” “right” “to offend, “the” “right” “to attack” people whom they (the undisciplined, the fools) condemn or tarnish with some “transgression” they alone conjure up (and spread) on the basis of their delusion, preconception, irrationality, or ideological extremism.

Extremists, anarchists, fools, criminals believe they have a “right” to offend (indiscriminately “the” right to rape, ruin, assault, murder, invade, plunder, starve to death, embargo, deny food, medicine, water, destroy utterly) other people; to desecrate religious images, icons, sacred individuals, places or elements of various peoples.

This is a fallacy, a criminal fallacy and people in places such France and Sweden (or North America) who practice or allow such criminal offense should be arrested. They and their supporters should be called before a truly independent tribunal of justice to answer for their crimes and the self-serving, deliberately erroneous interpretation of the principle or principles of human rights.

Governments (or an individual government) shall make no law restricting the rights of people under their jurisdiction to express themselves in print, in speech, in assembly, in association, in the practice (or non- practice) of a religion. That governments shall make no law is NOT a grant of license or a grant of liberty to lawlessness. Might in and of itself is neither right nor righteousness.

Because the NATO apparatus has USA-powered military industrial matériel and madness does not mean that this cabal or its affiliates (e.g., 1949 – present-member Denmark; 1994 – present-collaborator Sweden, 1949-present-member French Republic) including North American regimes should be allowed to trample on others. Law—the rule and its application—must be impartial, consistent and absolute. Even the jungle has binding laws that are clearly understood; rules that are consistently obeyed by inmates of the jungle.

Without impartial law imposed and practiced consistently in world society, peoples inhabiting the world descend into unrelenting ruthless ricochet, back-and-forth criminal conflict and chaos in which NONE have actual, inalienable rights; NONE are safe and secure to walk freely—to inhabit the world.

Peoples of the world must, therefore, rein in and arrest the ruthlessness, the impunity, the lawlessness practiced by North American and North Atlantic individuals, entities and sycophants who constitute an amoral and deadly assembly of criminals.

Today’s news peg prompting these thoughts.

July 31, 2023, Press TV News 

“Iran FM calls on OIC members to ‘criminalize’ desecration of Islamic sanctities,” https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/07/31/708098/Iranian-Foreign-Minister-Hossein-AmirAbdollahian-OIC-criminalize-desecration-Holy-Quran-

“Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has called on member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to ‘criminalize’ blasphemy against Islamic sanctities, including the desecration of the Holy Qur’an, at the national, regional and international level.”

The Foreign Minister was deeply concerned about “the growing trend of intolerance and violence against Islam and Muslims in some European countries …; (and) the support of (this behavior) by certain ruling factions.” Actions “undermining cultural and religious commonalities among nations and disrespecting human rights” have greater consequences in prohibiting “mutual understanding and the spirit of peaceful coexistence in the international community.”

The minister concluded that “the best interest of everyone is served” when “insults to religions (including Islam)” are “prevented.”

OIC

Also on July 31, 2023, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation published a “Resolution on the Repeated Crimes of Desecration and Burning of Copies of al-Mus’haf ash-Sharif in the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Denmark Approved by (its) 18th Extraordinary Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers” https://www.oic-oci.org/topic/?t_id=39325&t_ref=26550&lan=en

According to its website, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) made up of fifty-seven member states spread over four continents is after the United Nations, the world’s second largest international organization. Established in 1969, the organization “is the collective voice of the Muslim world” and “endeavors to safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among various people of the world.”

In a thirty-five-point Resolution, the OIC Strongly Condemned

“Recent despicable acts of aggression against the sanctity of the al-Mus’haf ash-Sharif—in the Kingdom of Sweden (the latest of taking place in Stockholm, the capital city of the Kingdom of Sweden, Thursday 20 July 2023) and in Copenhagen (the capital city of the Kingdom of Denmark on Monday 24 July 2023)

The recurrence of acts of desecration of al-Mus’haf ash-Sharif … and … the continued issuance of permits by authorities allowing that action … (and)

The failure … to take the necessary measures to prevent such acts in Sweden and Denmark

OIC charged that Sweden and Denmark’s failure to take authoritative measures preventing the recurrence of the violence breached “United Nations Security Council Resolution No.2686 (2023) adopted on 14th June 2023 pertaining to international tolerance, peace, and security.” https://www.oic-oci.org/topic/?t_id=39325&t_ref=26550&lan=en; https://www.oic-oci.org/home/?lan=en; https://www.oic-oci.org/page/?p_id=52&p_ref=26&lan=en

The young must be taught (and taught to identify)

The Unacceptable. 

Accepting the unacceptable IS Unacceptable

And Often Criminal. 

Malice is unacceptable. 

Assault is Criminal 

These should be called out and chastised (corrected) 

At the parental level through proper disciplinary action 

Beyond the sphere of parenting, through proper (independent, impartial) 

prosecutorial and judiciary processes.

Undisciplined Language is Better Silenced

Rules, Order, Discipline are Imperative for Healthy Society

Last month a financial planner had an opinion piece published at the Strategic Culture Foundation news site titled “Coronavirus Silence Is Not Golden: The Pathetic Truth About Americans.” It is sad that SCF allowed this piece to squeeze through the editors, even with a disclaimer. My advice regarding Gary D. Barnett’s bit of undisciplined authorship is to forget it immediately, without taking it to heart— but not before I have a go at challenging it.

Some people dislike rules, order, and discipline for themselves but are tireless in demanding that others obey “their” orders. Rules, order, discipline are absolutely essential to a fully functioning and healthy society.

Gary D. Barnett breaks all the rules—rules of language, rules of accuracy, rules of rational thought. His piece is generally lacking in intellectual rigor, and specifically lacking in compliance with essential rules of language and literacy. Among his unruliness are the words “evil” (eight times) and “that.” I noticed in another article by Barnett that he seems to like the word “evil.” There must be some baggage attached to that, which is better left for a biographical piece.

“Evil” is a word that rises from religious allegory and from an ancient’s interpretive teachings. Barnett is no doubt is an interpreter of an interpreter. The word should not substitute for more precise and appropriate English language usage such as wrongdoing, infractions, transgression, harm, misguidedness, ineptitude, selfishness, callousness; even theft, plunder, or abuse of power, among other precise terms.

The word “that,” which he uses repeatedly (33 times!), should not be used with persons but with place, things, events, or inanimate objects. This example from Barnett’s text:

… [M]ost of the extreme evil is accomplished by the few, the few being those that are consumed by a severe psychopathic nature, which includes certain individuals, those in power such as governments, those elites controlling governments, warmongers, and all those that use deceit to gain nefarious agendas ….

In language as in actions, rules, order, discipline are important; thus “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world people.”

Gary Barnett disobeys rules, order, and discipline; and seems to disavow concepts like cooperation and togetherness—indispensable in the current global health crisis—preferring the American trait of “individualism” coupled with “capitalism” and “consumerism”; “me” and “me and mine.”

His article also seems premised on the nonsensical notions as “exceptionalism” (exceptional seven times) and the “American dream,” which are manipulative terms that have no existence in reality, any more than does Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

“Is the American dream only a farce?” he asks. “Is this the best that the so-called ‘exceptional’ can muster?”

“… What is exceptional about hiding in their own homes fearful of doing anything normal,… What is exceptional about not going to work and closing down all your businesses that are required to protect and support your families? What could possibly cause the ‘exceptional’ to bow down and beg for the state they claim to control, to protect them from a common cold by destroying every liberty and right they allege to have. Where are those tens of millions of ‘exceptional’ that scream out that they live in the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave…. What is ‘exceptional’ or brave about hiding under your bed because some politician demands that you do as you are told?”

Perhaps one of the most egregious of human flaws is the belief, often acted out, that in order to live well, one must slaughter others; in order to succeed, others must fail; that one’s quality of life is determined or measured by the misery of others.

M

ust “they” hurt for “our” healing?

Gore Vidal is attributed with the saying “It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.”

In this same narrowness of thought is the notion that success predicated on the failure of others. Nations advance, nations fall. Advancing nations fall nations. Advanced nations often cause other nations to fail— the failing of states. The US is notorious for this. Mr. Barnett seems to agree with this dictum.

He seems to suggest that winners are the tough “exceptional(s)” and people who sacrifice for the health of the whole society are wimps and losers. In his argument, Barnett presents his audience with meanderings through extremism (the problem with extremism is its show of ignorance and its omission of essentials), overstatement, and falsehood. His scolding and counsel advice are particularly reckless.

 “We are in the middle of the single biggest takeover of humanity [wow, big talk!] that has ever been attempted….

This takeover is due to a fraudulent virus scare cooked up by those seeking world domination, and whose agenda is evil.… A fake virus pandemic long planned by the evil among us has brought this country to its knees.…

“Any that [presumably he means people who] refuse to speak out, to go to work, to help their neighbors, to protect their families from poverty, to take charge of a government gone mad, and to eliminate a tyranny… should be ashamed of themselves, and should in the future keep silent and say no more unless they stand up to this coronavirus monster purposely created by their rulers.”

Let’s take a look at his “fraudulent,” “fake.” Reality is far different from Mr. Barnett’s ramblings.

Back to Barnett’s counsel to his audience

“Refuse to close your businesses and go back to work. Refuse to take orders. Refuse to be banned from travel. Refuse to abide by any “social distancing” nonsense. Refuse to self-isolate, and force the state to play its hand. Refuse to vaccinate, and help destroy those like the evil Bill Gates and his pawns at the CDC. Refuse to listen to any impotent governor that only seeks more power and notoriety. Refuse to accept a king, for mass disobedience will destroy the beast that is tyranny.”

We can think better than this.

Statista “COVID-19 deaths worldwide as of May 15, 2020, by country”

Published by John Elflein, May 15, 2020

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/

“WHO raises global risk level: Approximately 210 countries and territories worldwide have been affected by the COVID-19 disease. The risk of infection is serious if you are in an area where there are confirmed cases, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled the outbreak a pandemic. Many countries around the world have now imposed travel restrictions, but if you have recently traveled to an affected area or been in close contact with someone with the virus, you should seek medical advice and try to stay away from public places.

                        

Symptoms of the virus

“It can take up to 14 days for symptoms of the illness to start being noticed. The most commonly reported symptoms are a fever and a dry cough, leading to shortness of breath. The early symptoms are similar to other viruses common at this time of year, such as the common cold and flu – these illnesses spread more during cold months, but it is not yet known whether or not temperature impacts the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Once again, medical advice should be sought if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.”
