The document discusses the ongoing battle between the West and radical Islam, describing it as a battle between good and evil. It argues that the West, and America in particular, have shown weakness and inconsistency in confronting threats like communism and Islam. To win the current conflict, the author proposes that the West withdraw support for Islamic dictatorships, apologize to Muslim peoples, and bomb government and religious institutions in Islamic countries while helping to liberate and develop these countries. Ultimately, the document argues that the conflict is primarily philosophical and that the West must convince Muslims of the superiority of Western values through both military conquest and ideological attacks.

Events post September 11 are no war on terrorism. They are a much wider Crusade against Islam and its targets are Muslims. Even a superficial analysis of events confirms this.
It simply cannot be the case that an alliance of some 40 of the most powerful nations with all their wealth, military might, intelligence and propaganda resources have mobilised against one man in a cave with a few hundred followers. Nor is such a force required to defeat a lightly armed militia force such as the Taliban.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: The Jewish people are a nation recovering from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), where memories of trauma flood our national psyche and can trigger emotional (and even physical) symptoms. Whether fear of the next “evil decree” against the Jews, to another pogrom of crazed rapists and killers rampaging through a Jewish town, or even of genocide itself, the Jewish people have known plenty of deep-seated persecution and have to deal with the accompanying fear and anxiety of being the quintessential “strangers in a strange land,” almost everywhere in the world and over a very long period of history.

Excerpt:
The Muslim countries' upper middle-classes are the venomous enemy of the West.
The worst failure of America is not Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and/or the perpetuation of the Palestinian problem. The worst failure is America's inability to accurately and timely identify the enemy.
The secret enemies of the Americans are their interlocutors.
1. The terrorists are just hands that commit criminal acts.
2. The extremist sheikhs are the owners of the factories that produce terrorists.
3. The bogus-universities that prepare the extremist sheikhs belong to the states, the supposedly US-friendly administrations that strive to help solve all problems with Israel (what a laugh!), while controlling the anti-Zionist local populations!
4. These states belong to the upper middle classes of the Muslim countries; the said social classes represent only a small portion of the society, i.e. the businesspeople, the managers and the directors, the professors and the army generals. As social class, they do not represent more than 2 to 3% of the entire population of each country-factory of Islamic Terrorism.
These people are the Muslim businesspeople, who routinely meet the experts of Microsoft and Intel, Vodafone and France Telecom; these are the traders who contact Toyota and Ford, the professors who hypocritically denounce Ossama Bin Laden, the generals who want to buy military aircraft spare parts, the actors and the singers who are dressed like average people in the streets of San Francisco, Napoli, Sydney and Amsterdam.

Most Catholics go through life and never hear a word of reproach for any pope or member of the clergy. Yet the recorded history of the lives of the clerical hierarchy bears no resemblance to its modern-day portrayal, and the true stories of the popes in particular are among the most misrepresented in religious history.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. Big War Ahead!
The current battle between the West and Islam -- especially between America and radical Islam -
- is essentially the timeless and permanent battle of Good vs. Evil. But as the 21st century dawns,
this war has become more grave.
Historically, the "green menace" of the post-1964 "Civil Rights" era has now largely displaced
the old "red menace" of the 1917-1991 Soviet Union era. The great exception to this, of course,
is the appalling 1/5th of humankind currently enslaved in atomic bomb-protected China. But this
communist-style tyranny, after the 1989 liberation of Eastern Europe, seems to be slowly but
surely evolving away from its current nefarious, failed, and anachronistic socio-economic
system.
Because of our highly inconsistent and compromised liberal ideology, the West and America
barely muddled thru to victory in the Cold War against Russia and its Eastern European allies.
2. We showed great ineptitude during this protracted indirect fight and faced multitudinous serious
threats -- including nuclear ones. We're poised to repeat this with Islam.
And yet, at the turn of the millennium, the West and U.S. are somewhat more powerful
ideologically than we were during the final stages of the previous large-scale confrontation. And
we're ever-so-slowly ascending. The cardinal Western liberal values of reason in philosophy,
individualism in morality, and freedom in politics, are all generally growing somewhat stronger.
So there's real hope for the future.
Unfortunately, at the current juncture the West and its American leader are far from being
ideologically perfect, self-consistent, or solidly liberal. Thus the current battle isn't truly between
pure good and pure evil, but rather between mostly good and mostly evil. The West and U.S.
may be roundly superior, but we're still plenty contradictory, unsteadfast, hypocritical, corrupt,
and even scummy in our philosophy and culture. And the whole world knows it.
This is so even tho' the West and America usually foolishly fancy that the rest of the planet is
largely unaware of our failures and deep-seated fundamental inconsistencies. We naively
imagine that the rest of the peoples of the world have, at best, basically only false and
illegitimate notions of our limitations and weaknesses. None of these suppositions is correct.
The principle error and grand moral failing of the West and the U.S. in the postwar era is the
routine propping-up of, and support for, Islamic dictatorships around the world. If they're even
quasi-"friendly" to us, we basically shower them with rewards like diplomatic recognition,
cultural exchanges, free trade, technology transfers, and even military assistance. (All this to
better enslave the peons!) We also grant these totalitarian regimes an all-important over-all moral
sanction. And if the Islamic dictatorships are "unfriendly" to us, we then embargo the nation,
which only increases the agony of the people while leaving the responsible dictators almost
entirely unaffected. This is all profoundly evil. And the world notices.
The Western states justify this destructionism and depravity largely by the bland, vapid, noxious
ideals of "stability" and "peace." We almost singularly neglect to uphold the proper ideals of
"liberty and justice for all." Perhaps we secretly regard these uncivilized third-worlders as semi-
animals and thus unworthy.
Fundamentally, our present philosophy and doctrine regarding all dictators is still that of the
Cold War: "He may be a son of a bitch -- but he's our son of a bitch." And yet the correct
ideology and approach is: "He may be our son of a bitch -- but he's still a son of a bitch." So we
reject him utterly. Regrettably, the present day behavior and policy of the West and America is
far from this desideratum. So our ill-thought-out, amoral, unprincipled foreign policy earns us a
plethora of enemies -- and on many levels.
3. The Islamic of today really and truly hate out guts -- much more than practically anyone in our
part of the world realizes. And they do in large part because of the errors, corruption, and
hypocrisy outlined above.
But mostly they despise us because their values are so different from, and inferior to, our values.
We busy, self-involved, indifferent, ignorant Westerners with our relatively rich full lives seldom
realize just how evil, illiberal, false, and failed their Islamic ideology really is.
So the Moslem peoples fundamentally loathe us because we're good and great. They revile,
oppose, and fight us due to our virtues, not our vices. And they're wildly jealous and deeply
ashamed. Especially when they remember their glorious past -- as they often do. From about 750
to 1250 A.D. the Islamic nation was itself good and great. At that time, they constituted the
biggest, strongest, richest, finest nation on earth.
To fully win the current mostly low level war, the West and America must first withdraw all
support and sanction to the various Islamic dictatorships around the world. We then need to
profoundly apologize to all the Moslem peoples for the terrible sin of propping up and
supporting all their evil slave-master governments for upwards of half a century. We should
make clear that we're sincerely sorry for having been so ignorant of, and indifferent to, the plight
of the deeply suffering Moslem people.
Next, we need to get great revenge upon the many Islamic tyrannies for all the evil they've done
both to us and to their own people. The Western states need to carefully but viciously bomb the
hell out of all of their government, military, party, and religious institutions. All the evil Islamic
leaders thereof should be taken down and out. This is so, even if it involves a somewhat large
amount of "collateral damage" and a fairly substantial number of "innocent bystander" deaths.
It's all worth it. It will be a problem solved -- or a hundred. And it's important to note that most
true "innocent bystanders" -- as opposed to implicit supporters of governmental evil -- will
naturally tend to greatly distance themselves from the targeted evil institutions and leaders.
After the onslaught, the West and America should then fully liberate and assist the Islamic
peoples -- for a price. We might charge them, say, 50% of oil revenues for the next 50 years for
their freedom, plus granting them protectorate or colonial status. Then the West and America
could engage in deferential "nation-building" -- but intelligently and virtuously, for once. This
last is important because primitive nations, like young children, need to grow up slowly, and
should not be given full freedom and independence immediately. They can't handle either and, if
left alone, would almost certainly redescend into tyranny forthwith. This societal nurturing and
development may well take generations. But helping the neglected backward Islamics in the
above fashion is genuinely noble and properly "the white man's burden."
4. The key to understanding and winning the war between the West and Islam is to recognize that
it's almost entirely philosophical and cultural. So after we've conquered and occupied them, we
still need to brutally attack them ideologically. The West and America still need to convince the
Islamic peoples of the clear and massive superiority of our values and lifestyle -- and thus "win
their hearts and minds." Then they'll be Western too and likely our permanent close friends. We
did all this to Germany and Japan in W.W.II -- and we can do it again.
Of course, it won't be nearly so easy this time around, because Islamic values and lifestyles are
so notoriously strange and low. But if we work hard on needed self-improvement too, and add to
our own cultural strength -- if we significantly clarify and purify out liberal ideology -- then in
this fierce and important battle the West and America can gloriously triumph once again.
