Honduras? Where’s That?
Posted on July 1st, 2009 by Scipio
I have no doubt at all that the first time the silk-suited barbarians who rule this nation and run the media had ever heard of a place called Honduras was a few days ago. Now they have suddenly morphed into experts in Honduran law, government and history. Having myself spent more time in Honduras than Obama has spent as president—much more time in fact—I can safely state unequivocally that he and his people are ass jacks in the purest form.
The facts of the present crisis in Honduras are as clear as can be. President—now ex-president—Zelaya took office in 2006. The Honduran Constitution limits presidential terms to one four year term. He wanted another term, but the constitution does not allow itself to be changed in such a way to permit this. Zelaya then proposed a referendum to convene an assembly to write a new constitution so that he could serve another term as president. A Honduran court ruled the proposed referendum illegal. Zelaya then asked the nation’s highest ranking military officer, Romeo Velásquez, to help him with the now illegal referendum. Velásquez refused, and Zelaya fired him. The Supreme Court as well as the Congress called the firing illegal. The Supreme Court then ordered the military to act. It seized Zelaya and hustled him out of the country.
Some interesting and relevant background on Zelaya is that he is a committed leftist and anti-American with ties to both Chavez in Venezuela and Morales in Bolivia. Both of these fellows are as well committed leftists and anti-Americans. Like Obama Zelaya spent his early political career as a community organizer. Like Obama he has been accused of being anti-business. Like Obama, who left Chicago with one of the highest murder rates in the US, Zelaya left Honduras with one of the highest murder rates in Latin America.
More background: What happened in Honduras is not at all unique in Latin America. In fact, it has been common there since its independence from Spain in the early 19th century. Coups, counter-coups, and military intervention in politics have been present in every single Latin American nation. Such upheavals have sometimes resembled an opéra bouffe and sometimes resembled the bloody civil wars of the Roman Republic. The political instability and the economic insecurity such upheavals bring are part of life south of the Rio Grande.
To understand Latin America one needs to understand that the military does not have the same role as the military in the US. It was from the first heavily involved in politics. Its role was three-fold: to protect against foreign invasion; to control the populace; and—the crucial point—to act as the “savior of the nation.” In other words, the militaries of Latin America have all intervened in politics when the very structure of the nation was in danger. This usually took the form of stopping a leftist coup against the State—and this was exactly what happened in Honduras. The army acted as it was meant to act. A leftist with support from Castro and Chavez tried to overthrow the State, but was stopped by the Honduran army.
Really, there is absolutely nothing new or surprising here. There is also nothing new or surprising that Obama has taken sides with the anti-American Zelaya. Obama always sides with America haters. He is in fact an America hater himself.
And how delicious is this headline, one that made me a bit jealous of the boldness of the Honduran military.
Army overthrows Honduras president in vote dispute
Before you begin to wail and gnash your teeth about our own military doing something likewise, you might ponder these words from Thomas Sowell himself.
When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can’t help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup.
Both Obama and Zelaya are in every sense of the term outlaws. Zelaya tried to go around the Honduran Constitution; Obama goes around our own—unless you believe that seizing car and insurance companies, running the next census, taking control of banks and appointing a bunch of czars accountable only to Obama are powers that can be found in the US Constitution. To men like Obama and Zelaya, laws are mere pieces of paper that lawless men can simply ignore.
Perhaps the true reason why Obama supports Zelaya is because he fears the fate of that petty Honduran tyrant will be his fate as well.
The Glories Of Islam
Posted on June 30th, 2009 by Scipio
As always when one writes about Islam, commentary is lively. Sometimes however mere pictures are sufficient to describe a thing. Islam in particular can be described in such a way. True, any Muslim seeing these will howl with rage and demand that somebody be beheaded. Recall a few years back when Muslims did this very thing when those Danish cartoons came out.
What “a little people, a silly people” they are, who murder over cartoons.
How Islam views women.
How Islam views the US and Israel.
The perfect Muslim.
How a normal man views Mohammed.
Our fate if Islam is not stopped.
Imagine if any other religion acted as does Islam—Christianity for example. If Christians made war upon cartoons? If Christians made war upon Buddhist statues? If Christians chopped off heads on camera? If Christians sent legions of suicide killers into schoolhouses? If Christians murdered their daughters for violations of ‘honor?’ If Christians boasted about blasting civilian airliners from the sky? If Christians were involved in almost every war on the planet? If Christians at the Vatican regularly stampeded and trampled to death hundreds of their own? If Christian youth made a sport of raping non-Christian girls? If Christians hunted down and killed all who tried to leave the faith? If Christians sent out hit squads to murder all who insulted the faith? If Christians around the globe jumped with glee after the towers fell? If Protestant and Catholic Christians engaged themselves in mutual slaughter? If Christians sexually mutilated their adolescent girls?
You know the answer. Civilized peoples of all kinds would jump out of their skins to call such a faith infinitely degraded. There would be outcries of Écrasez l’Infâme throughout the land. Yet when Islam does these things the world oozes understanding. Muslims appear on Oprah to explain it all away to the cooing crowd, writers censor themselves so as not to be seen as intolerant and politicians do back flips to appease.
Why? Here is why.
Here is a list of those killed and things ruined by the tender mercies of Islam in the last few years.
Jews and Christians and Hindus and Buddhists and agnostics and surfers and disco habitués and businessman and children and guards and pizza lovers and airline passengers and diplomats and diplomats’ wives and diplomats’ children and teachers and writers and missionaries and stewardesses and professors and journalists and free thinkers. Islam builds nothing yet blows to smithereens busses and schools and synagogues and churches and skyscrapers and houses and buildings and embassies and cemeteries and cars and ships and planes.
Where is life in all of this appalling destruction? Or Love? Or Mercy? Or Hope? Look at the Moslem world and what do you see? Where would you fit in? These words I wrote years ago to describe the Islamic world—a place so very much admired by B. Hussein Obama.
In the world of Islam it is dog-eat-dog, a world gone nuts and mad and spooky with crazed theology and murderous intent: Iraq invades Iran and Kuwait—all three are Islamic states; Algeria murders 200,000 of its own—all Moslems; half of the Sudan—the Moslem north—literally enslaves the other half—the Christian south; The Moslem Taliban terrorized an entire Moslem nation—Afghanistan; Moslem al-Qaeda makes war upon the spiritual center of Islam itself, Saudi Arabia; Islamic Somalia is at war with itself and with Islamic Eritrea—and both of these Hobbesian nightmares join with their Moslem brothers in the Sudan to sexually mutilate their adolescent girls; Moslem Syria sponsors terror brigades in whatever is left of Moslem and Christian Lebanon; Moslem Turks slaughter Moslem Kurds; Sunni hates Shiite; Palestinian mothers exult when their sons and daughters march off to the oblivion of suicide bombing; and on and on and on—always more blood, always more terror, always more degradation. In almost every part of our globe wherever there is violence you can bet that one or both of the parties is a Moslem group or nation.
If such grotesqueries represented only a tiny fraction of Islam, where is the Muslim outcry against all of these grim atrocities, most of which are committed by Muslim upon Muslim? Where is the honor in all this? Where is the decency? Where is any creative power in all of this?
What the Hell is wrong with these people?
Mosques In The Sky
Posted on June 29th, 2009 by Scipio
As American troops pullback in Iraq, Islamic killers move in.
Six days before U.S. combat forces are due to withdraw from major Iraqi cities, a bomb hidden under vegetables on a three-wheeled motorcycle killed at least 60 people and wounded 135 more in Sadr City, a densely populated Shiite Muslim slum in the Iraqi capital.
And this.
At least 25 civilians were killed and more than 75 were wounded when a bomb in a parked car detonated early Wednesday inside a marketplace in a small southern Iraqi town, medical officials said.
Another day, another day of internecine Muslim slaughter in Iraq. To put things in perspective, if a proportionate mass killing had occurred in the US, it would equal 2000 American dead. Pundits and academics and scribblers of every kind will write millions of words trying to explain these killings. Some will blame Iran. Some will blame Al-Qaeda. Some will blame Bush. Yet such things happen regularly in Iraq and in almost every nation where Mohammed hangs his ragged turban. Muslim killing Muslim began when Islam began. It will end when the last two Muslims strangle each other with their own intestines.
Truth be told, Islam is not particular about whom it kills. The killing fields of Islam have seen the murder of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, pagans, atheists, Zoroastrians—really, anyone will do, in a pinch even Rosicrucians. The killing is the thing—the only thing.
And the result of all of this mayhem is…well, nothing. No Muslim life has been bettered, no Muslim nation’s GDP has increased, no deeper understanding of Islam has emerged, no new invention except the suicide bomb has come out of these oceans of blood. Wherever one goes in what B. Hussein Obama calls “the world of Islam” one finds poverty, tyranny, Jew hatred, misogyny and terror. One does not find anything remotely resembling the Declaration of Independence, The Wealth of Nations, Summa Theologica or The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
The obvious conclusion to those with eyes is that the majority of Muslim lands are filled with soap-deprived and illiterate barbarians.
What if Christians acted this way? Imagine the outrage in the media, the screams for the government to “do something.” But they say nothing when Muslims engage in slaughter. Truly, Islam is held to a different standard. It is as if that worn out and tired thing called ‘Western Civilization’ simply expects Islam to kill and demands nothing noble or honorable from it.
Rather than such lofty sentiments Islam offers up grotesque fatwas demanding the death of this guy or that guy over something or other. It provides regular sermons that drool hatred for Jews, for Americans, for all Westerners. And oh my God, about those Jews! Here is an Egyptian newspaper—government controlled of course—giving its opinion of the Jews.
If you want to know the real perpetrator of every disaster or every act of terrorism, look for the Zionist Jews…It is the Jews, with their hidden filthy hands, who play their part with expertise in order to harm the Arabs and Muslims and to intensify hatred towards them…It not only engages in terror in the Palestinian territories but exports it to all the countries of the world…Their black history is the best possible proof that hatred toward the Arabs and the Muslims fills their hearts and blinds their eyes. They are behind all troubles, disasters and catastrophes in the world.
That was written in 2004. Have things changed since? Well, no. Have you read the ravings of Ahmadinejad?
Let us not think that all of this is Medieval, that Islam is simply stuck in a world that the rest of us left 1000 years ago. This is manifestly not the case. Some scholars write that Medieval Islam was one of the glories of man, one of his civilized heights, almost equal in sublimity to Medieval Christianity. Even amidst its internecine violence Islam kept its creative power at least until the 1600s. Here is an example of Islam from 400 years ago, the Blue Mosque.
Here is its interior.
To my eye there is nothing created by man as sublime as this. Yet, who would believe that Islam could build its like today? Islam would be hard pressed to design a decent tennis shoe.
The world of Islam is not Medieval but irrational. It has lost whatever ability it once had to deal with things as they are. There is a disconnect between reality and what Islam claims is reality. What all this terror, killing and mayhem are about is Islam trying desperately to force the world as it exists to become the world as it exists in the Islamic mind. In the Islamic mind, non-Muslims are to be killed or taxed or enslaved. In the Islamic mind the doctrines of the Koran are manifestly true and whatever is not in the Koran is manifestly false. In the Islamic mind public beheadings, sexually mutilating girls, sending children out to commit suicide and wrapping women in burqas are signs of strength. In the Islamic mind the world will one day live under a caliphate and all of humanity will be Muslim.
But all of these are psychoses, ‘living in castles in the sky.’ None will come to pass. The best the civilized world can do is to ignore as best it can the mess called Islam and hope one day it will shatter itself to pieces. The best Islam can do for its own and for the rest of humanity would be to disappear from the face of the earth.

Think what you want of the bizarre creature that was Michael Jackson, but at least young boys around the world may sleep a little safer tonight. Jackson was
a dangerous man and sick predator whose only mitigating excuse is that he was enabled by sick family and business associates and an even sicker mainstream press.
From the comments at the link:
When Farrah Fawcett died she was taken to heaven and then granted one wish– that the Earth would be a safer place for children.
It is, Farrah, it is.
Update: Do not read this after you eat.
Update: By now there are thousands of eulogies of Jackson. Don’t bother yourself with them. Read only this one. You will see what I mean.
Update: Very seldom have I read something as pitiful than this. Jackson had been dead for years. He just didn’t know it.
Update: Fom the Gunslinger.
For The Bible Tells Me So
Posted on June 26th, 2009 by Scipio
Well I’ll be damned! No…let me take that back. But I must say that, until I saw this preview, I had no idea that Christians were the equal of Klansmen, Nazis and crude rabble rousing haters. I know better now.
So I guess that an appreciation and acceptance of homosexuality is really and truly the Christian thing to do. After all, look at all those “holy” men and tolerant sorts in the video who say so. And look at all those awards from all the right people.
But then, that old rabble rousing hater and proto-Nazi Paul had—how does one say it?—a rather different view of the matter.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.—1 Corinthians 6:9-10
So there you have it. Either Paul and his Master are liars or they are not. If they are, then do not follow them or that hatre-filled intolerant religion they founded. Really, there is no way around this. What the Bible says about homosexuality is perfectly and absolutely clear. To summarize: Practitioners of homosexuality cannot get into Heaven. They will therefore go to Hell.
You may as your heart desires scream, jump up and down, throw insults, make threats, wail and gnash your teeth—and all of that would amount to exactly nothing for it changes exactly nothing. The original difficulty remains.
So the homosexual has several choices:
1) He can continue in his practice of homosexuality and pretend all is well. This is difficult even for short periods to accomplish. Natural Law is a rather demanding thing, and that odd feeling in the mind and heart when you engage in sin cannot easily be made still without great and continuous effort.
2) He can claim that the Bible really does not say what it says. This is the direction taken by those who made that video. Naturally, it has many followers. The reason is easy to find. Men take solace in the Word of God. But there is that unreasonable focus on sin that keeps popping up. What to do? Why, simply pretend that those ancients who wrote the Bible really could not possibly understand our modern condition. Thus, much of Scripture is outdated. It should be allowed to morph and change with the times.
You will by now have noticed that much of the rattle and hum about homosexuality in our degraded culture is the attempt to “normalize” homosexuality, especially the practice of sodomy. The world system of politics and entertainment and media portray the homosexual as needing special protection from the hatred of Christians and their old fashioned God. It has gone all out to place in the minds of ordinary folks that homosexuals are “just like you and me.” Here is how they are portrayed by the US government’s Center for Disease Control.
All happy and smiling and normal. Why, they have even received a new Orwellian term just for them. No longer called homosexuals, sodomites are now called MSM, “men who have sex with men.”
The term men who have sex with men (MSM) refers to all men who have sex with other men, regardless of how they identify themselves (gay, bisexual, or heterosexual).
Only in government would one find the news that MSM can include heterosexuals as well. Gosh, we must all be homosexual therefore. I never knew that!
Ah, but there is that pesky Natural Law thing again. One would think that if male homosexuals were really and truly “just like you and me,” then their lives would be in all circumstances “just like yours and mine.” Alas, such is not the case. For we see that they live lives shorter by 20 years than male heterosexuals. And that is just one thing about their wildly abridged lives that makes one think that such an existence is not the sort lived out by most men. Indeed, one cannot read about the behavior of homosexuals without the word “depravity” knocking you on the head.
Another unpleasant piece of Scripture keeps intruding.
The wages of sin is death.
There then is the reason why male homosexuals live such abbreviated, frantic lives—and lesbians are not much better off. They are literally in a dance with death.
We may call such a dance part of the Culture of Death that has overtaken our nation. Our lovely government is a card carrying member of this death spiral. It murders children in their mothers’ wombs, subsidizes the practice and acceptance of sodomy and allows any survivors the choice of “assisted suicide.” If this government is not a sworn enemy of God then there is no God and we need not be concerned.
The truth of the matter is that death is encouraged all around. It is as if demons have seized control of the nation. But that cannot be true, can it? The belief in demons is as outmoded and as useless as the belief that homosexuality is a sin, isn’t it?
No. For the Bible tells me so.
God In Man
Posted on June 24th, 2009 by Scipio
I wonder about this thing called man. Flesh he is, but he is not only flesh. He is mind and spirit as well. He is in fact like God, a trinity. That was the plan from the beginning. Man was created imago dei, “in the image of God.”
The world sees man as nothing but flesh. Man is an animal and subject to an animal’s brute cravings. He is in no way to be subject to any law that restricts his animal passions. That would be “unnatural.” When the flesh calls the man must obey. It is the “natural” thing to do. It matters not at all what form that call of the flesh might entail—adultery, sodomy, pornography, drugs, gluttony, fornication, pedophilia—a man true to his nature will follow it when it beckons him.
The world rewards such men who indulge their flesh as they will. Clinton practices adultery, and it makes him president. Barney Frank indulges in sodomy and pedophilia, and it places him in power over us. Hugh Hefner amasses great wealth, and the world seeks out his views. Entertainers snort mountains of white powder, and the world applauds their art and talents.
The God of Abraham and of Isaac knows what awaits a man who gives in to the flesh. It is Death itself. God would have a man rule over his flesh rather than have flesh rule over the man. For the flesh is a fearful master and a man enslaved to it becomes a literal monster. Is this a human being made in the image of God?
We can wonder what happened to a man who did this to himself. It seems like some insensate desire to wipe out all traces of God, as if the man were embarrassed by Him. I would not at all be surprised if the man above one day went about on all fours.
Governments see men in just this way, as nothing but chunks of flesh. They can be fed and housed and entertained, and thus made quiet and content. If a man becomes an annoyance he can be slain, either in his mother’s womb or at the end of his life. To the State, a man, being only flesh, is doomed to die anyway. What then does it matter what happens to him on this earth? After all it is the State that lives forever. All men must be made to acknowledge this fact.
God sees the matter differently. To Him it is the State that is doomed to die. What is history anyway than God’s plan for man carried out throughout time and space, and all around lie the detritus of hundreds of nations fallen down and vanished for all time? It is man who lives forever, and so his fate on earth and after has Eternal significance.
The State sees men as cattle. God sees men as having part of Himself in them. This is why we see every day the State and God opposed to each other. They are indeed enemies. The State tries to eliminate all evidence of its Rival. The State becomes in reality just as that man in the picture—ugly, deformed, perverted and twisted.
If the State had its way all men would become like this.
This then is the craving of the world, to place man on a level with animals so that he will sooner or later for all intents and purposes exist on all fours, his eyes always looking toward the earth. He can be better controlled that way than if he stood upright like Christ, his eyes always looking toward the Heavens.
Bruised Fruit

The dirtiest man alive—well, he is not really a man, but stay with me here—just met his match, so to speak. Professional sodomite and gad about town socialite Perez Hilton got punched a few times in his pudgy, soft face. Here is the result.
Usually a man getting punched in the face is no big deal. In fact, any man who makes it beyond his teens without both getting punched in his face and punching another guy’s face lacks something. Violence is something every man must deal with on some level. It is a rite of passage, like kissing your first girl. I passed both of these exams at 12 with flying colors. His name was Bobby. I pounded his face and left him bloody. Her name was Millie Loveland. She was skinny and had blonde hair to her waist. At 55 I still like skinny girls with long hair.
Hilton being what he is, went all emo. He made his beating a big deal. He wept, sobbed and—being a thoroughly modern fop—twittered his horrible, simply horrible, experience.
I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.
Jeez, the guy just got his butt kicked and he advertised it. What sort of “man” would do that? He did not even bother to try and punch the other guy, but just walked away and went all teary. Even a 12 year old girl would have more self respect than that. I guess spending your free time seeking out all those all those anonymous male buttocks does something to a fellow.
But it gets worse. I now present you with the piece de resistance to this essay. It is a look into the heart and soul of Hilton and all “men” like him. It is a perfect view of the girlish mentality that affixes to such males and their followers and fans. And —you just knew this was coming—have you any doubt—any at all—for whom those depravities, those wretched weaklings, those soft gutted cowards, voted in the last election?
See the video. The freak is absolutely unplugged. There is some language during the second part, but you will not have to get that far to get an idea of the perfect semi-man, metrosexual, “New Castrati” that so dominate our popular culture. When you view this, keep in mind that millions of his ilk walk the land—and they vote.
I hope the guy who punched Hilton washed his hands afterward.
Update: For a fine essay on real manhood and other things, see Eternity Road.
Update: I ran into this photo of the freak. Let us call it “Puss in Boots.”

Live Free Or Enslaved
Posted on June 22nd, 2009 by Scipio
Think what you will of the video below. It shows a collection of tyrants both petty and not. To a man they believe the following:
1. You are not competent to make decisions affecting your life and your nation.
2. They are competent at both.
3. It logically follows that you are to be ruled.
4. It also logically follows that any who resist therefore act irrationally.
5. The rulers thus have the necessity and duty to subdue by any means the irrational among them.
All of those tyrants in the video are merely the ones in the last 100 years or so. Yet history comprises 60 centuries. How many of such creatures have appeared in its grim pages? We note that tyranny has been the common lot of man; and that liberty has been a rare thing indeed, always purchased and maintained with blood. The proper way to express all of this is that men have almost always been mere slaves of the State. They have been in fact invisible to history. We know little about them save that they served those in power, and that their lives were made or taken by the whims of tyrants.
We also note that tyrants well understand the language of power. It is their native tongue, after all. Power is of two sorts: that which flows from Natural Law and that which flows from gun barrels. Tyrants have no use for the first, obviously. They cannot possibly acknowledge any authority greater than themselves. They are the State, and the State is omnicompetent. Thus there is no real limit to their power except death natural or otherwise. How many tyrants have peacefully resigned their office and surrendered their authority to the people?
As long as tyrants hold a monopoly on power, all they need fear is another tyrant. Stalin feared Hitler, not his own people. Give the people laboring under a tyrannical regime the means to seize power themselves, and tyrants tremble. The possession of guns in the hands of citizens can prevent the imposition of tyranny in any nation. Imagine if those 6,000,000 Jews had 6,000,000 guns. No Jew would have gone to the ovens.
It hardly needs to be said that every tyrant in the video is against the possession of guns by the citizenry. Indeed, opposition to guns is a main plank of the Democrat Party. Forget the reasons the Democrats give for their opposition to them. The one and only reason is that guns limit their power over you. Thus we have the sheer genius and brilliance of Madison and his 2nd Amendment. Long before Ted Kennedy—imagine if Mary Joe Kopechne had had a gun—and Barbara Boxer and Barack Obama, Madison had their number. He saw clearly the type of tyrant who would arise in America, and following Natural Law he provided the American people the final solution to its imposition.
It needs to be said again and again: An unarmed man is a subject; an armed man is a citizen. An armed man cannot be treated as cattle. An unarmed man can be enslaved, impoverished and murdered at the whim of the tyrant.
Our rulers fear the citizenry. And fear in the hearts of politicians is a good thing. Let them take our guns and they will no longer fear us, but will be able to render us to their will.
A man who votes those in office men would who enslave him is a slave himself. He should not therefore complain when he is treated as cattle.
