Truth Counts

Binary Islam There is something binary about Islam.  At birth and with the first breath - when the father whispers into the neonates ear (the Adhan into the right ear and the Iqamah into the left) -  in the third grade text at the Islamic school a few miles from my home (which commands young children which side to sleep on and how to properly place the hand under the cheek) - in a book by Abu Ameenah Philips which advises how to properly step into a bathroom and which prayer to utter - down to the plastic water pot on the floor by the toilet in a local restaurant. Islam is binary. Muslims will tell you that Islam is a code of conduct.  But it really is a bunch of zeros and ones - a software code which is hardwired into the frame.  It is a cryptograph and I have worked on it for two decades. One of the most delicate of codes involves gossip. It is hard enough for the journalist to obtain a story. And nearly impossible for HumInt to produce results without a strong bas...

Paris Endures a Weekend of Looting Breaking news!  Paris endures a weekend of looting. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16222791/France-braces-looting-riots-Act-II-pathetic-Macron-loses-control-country-despite-overnight-curfews-bringing-temporary-reprieve.html Oh, wait!  Wrong "Paris".  I mean Paris, Texas. https://www.paristexas.gov/ Paris, Texas endured a weekend of looting.  Initially, nearby towns of Bonham, Blossom, Roxton, and Powderly responded with hastily assembled militias. Individuals from as far as the Red River also responded and America was on full display.  I have never seen so many Ford trucks on the road with the American flags flying and gun racks mounted in the rear of the cabs. At the completion of a forty-eight hour window the statistics are impressive.  Texas has a strong Castle Doctrine.  It appears none of the involved will be charged because there is no duty to retreat from your home, vehicle or place of employment in the...

France's Leadership Pay for Their Sins I have been invited to join a select group which will meet with a senior planner from our city to discuss improvements for our neighborhood.  Our meetings will take place over several weeks. City futurists will then embark on choosing which recommendations merit greater consideration. Tonight as I sit at my desk, my city is at peace.  The darkness is punctuated with the occasional bark of a neighborhood dog; and earlier, the sounds of children playing.  There is no violence.  No looting.  No defacing of our city monuments or parks.   My city - does a fairly good job of listening to, and acting upon the concerns of the population.  I am blessed to live here. France's leadership are paying for their sins.  And that greatest sin is the neglect of their own generational citizens with favoritism shown toward the non-citizens.  The slightly lesser sin is to ignore the concerns of their population.  A...

Prologue:  The Senseless Sparrow There was a small sparrow.  She seemed placidly maternal.  She provided warmth for her eggs and she diligently guarded her nest.  After the hatchlings made an appearance, she busied herself with securing food for her young.  One day, she flew by the nest of another mother who also happened to be flitting about searching for food. "Oh!" she thought to herself.  "Her babies are so much more beautiful than my own!  She admired their bald little heads and bulging eyes; listened to their cries for food and had a moment of illumination worthy of a sparrow's brain.  She would also begin to provide for them. Each day she would furtively deliver small morsels of food to the other sparrow's children.  She seemed unaware that her own children seemed malnourished and their feathers rather sparse.  But the other mother's children?   The tufts of feather on their heads now looked like soft velvet.  Their...

October Gifts My husband plants zinnias in the garden to attract the bees.  An explosion of color along the back fence provides a biological painting which reminds me  the Creationist who spoke the world into existence, still speaks today.  Let there be... zinnias!   In an earlier post, I penned a few thoughts regarding Christianity and the forms of worship. We can mistake Satanism - the worship of Satan - as the most potent evil. But it is atheism which is the most blasphemous form of worship. It is a narcissistic fool who worships the created self and denies the Creator. My father once said,  "Everybody worships." Who do you worship?
