Quran and Jihad

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 15:00 +0000

We must closely examine the Quran, Islam’s inviolable, immutable charter, since it enjoys such a sanctified standing. Muslims believe that Allah himself writes the Quran. Allah handed down the book, piece by piece and chapter by chapter, to the Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel, in turn, whispered these words to Muhammad himself over some 23 years.

Muhammad could neither read nor write. Therefore, he had to find people who could write down what he called his revelations from Allah. Several of these katibs (scribes) wrote down the surahs (chapters), eventually making up the Quran.

The Quran commands the believer repeatedly– to make Jihad, and even the people of the book, Jews and Christians, are specifically targeted. Now, the only question remains the extent of the Muslim’s obedience to the Quran and the Sunna, the life examples of Muhammad. To be sure, many Muslims are not following the dictates of the Quran perfectly, as they should, since they consider it to be Allah’s literal immutable perfect words. Hence, what I’m saying is patently true and far from being patently false as you adjudicate. Furthermore, nowhere do I say the belief in shedding the blood of others automatically makes every Muslim get on a killing spree. Yet, the commandments of the Quran to the believers are clear and emphatic.

I am not speaking about those Muslims who are born in the religion. These individuals have not voluntarily chosen Islam as their faith and need not recite the Shahada. They are Muslims automatically by birth. They may or may not become diehard jihadists. I reference those who voluntarily become Muslims and take the oath of faith– the Shahada.

Deciding to join Islam means committing oneself to the creed and its goal. One cannot enter an order without adhering to its precepts and practices. It is absurd, for instance, for a person to voluntarily join the military while saying that he doesn’t believe in the military’s objective of killing the enemy. All these Muslims who are not rabid advocates of jihad are in clear violation of their creed. Even these people are complicit in the mayhem and murder acts of their co-religionists through financial support and other ways.

According to the cardinal rule of Islam, non-Muslims are kefirs (infidels). So, the kefirs are fair game to be maltreated, plundered, enslaved, and slaughtered. It just so happens that the followers of Muhammad, before even rasul-ul-allah (Messenger of Allah) was buried, started having disagreements among themselves about who was a real Muslim, who was a pretender, and who was actually a kefir. In no time at all, the house of Muhammad splintered into sects, sub-sects, and sub-sects and whatnot. And these “real and true” Muslims started treating other Muslims as they would treat the kefirs, in obedience to their sacred teachings of the Quran.

In short, each sect was a true Muslim and used any means to further the faithful Islam they held, often purging other denominations whenever they could.

Millions of “true Muslims” are ready to give their all in the service of jihad. Suicide volunteers, for instance, in the tens of thousands have registered in the Islamic Republic of Iran to commit mass murder. These believers vie with one another to discharge their religious duty. It is small comfort that a great many Muslims have not volunteered for the mass murder of kafir. Yet, there are enough life-in-hand believers to keep Islam living true to what it is– a belief in blood.

Does every Muslim follow the commands of the Quran? No, thank God. But as they become into communities and increase in numbers, they become more militant and less tolerant of that community’s laws and regulations. This religion’s “holy book” commands its followers to commit crimes antithetical to this country’s laws. In case you are not familiar with some of the condoned atrocities of Islam and Sharia law: are you aware that women are stoned to death for committing adultery and that gay men are hanged? Or that the genitals of little girls are mutilated to destroy their capacity for sexual pleasure and make them controllable and that children may be murdered in the name of family honor? Islam does not recognize the separation of mosque and state. Islamic republics are dominated by spiritual leaders who oversee their citizens’ strict adherence to Sharia.

In countries where Islamic enclaves and ghettos have emerged, such as France, Britain, and Germany, local mullahs enforce Sharia regardless of its conflict with national or state laws. Most Americans fail to understand that Sharia is the foundation of Islamic theocracy and totalitarianism. The establishment of global Sharia is the ultimate goal. The Quran is unequivocal in its directive to Muslims to establish an international Islamic state (caliphate), over which the Islamic messiah, or Mahdi, will rule, with Sharia as the only law of the land. Make no mistake that is the intent of influential Islamic elements in America.

The Followers of the Leaders on the Left Have Been Deceived

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 13:30 +0000

In the past twenty years in the United States of America, we have witnessed a political ideology totally degenerate and warp into a cancerous, self-destructive, completely corrupted intersection of ideas that is essentially and totally a tool of foreign forces intent on obliterating what was once a great country.

Many threads compose the embroidered notion of what it means to be a liberal or a leftist today: the transgender movement, the warmongering forever-conflict enabling military brass, the black supremacists, the US Democrat Party radicalized politicians, the corporatists looking only at profits and not at people.

All the followers of the leaders on the left have been deceived. There are large groups of US citizens who honestly believe that there is no center right, that there is only the Democrat Party and alt-right, far-right fascists. They believe that the Republican Party is collectively and totally homophobic, racist, white supremacist, fascist,

The main progenitors and drivers of this movement are no longer sensible, reasonable US citizens. They are individuals who have gone completely and totally insane, either through holding positions of power illegally and extralegally, in the case of complicit U.S. Democrat Party politicians, or through being supported by a nanny state and a fabric of social media and smartphone-based signals empowering a sense of entitled-ness, in the case of the activists believing they are leading some self-righteous crusade. In many cases, it is this latter case that is the most dangerous– where the smartphone and our screens have been weaponized against us to lead us blindly toward a future of dystopian self-destruction and self-hate.

The left has been hijacked by transgenders, racists, warmongers, and corporatists in a vile concoction of death, self-harm, and total hatred. They trumpet their ideology through a globally syndicated network of left-leaning media that generally is controlled by a nefarious entrenched group of wealthy and wealth-seeking folks intent on promulgating discontent and malaise wherever it goes. They pray at the altar of Bill Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab. The people in this network work for institutions with vaunted and prodigious pasts like CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, NBC, ABC, and a collection of media companies with trendy branding. The ultimate infrastructure of these companies has been completely gutted so that the contemporary, present state is one that promotes this cancerous ideology.

No name is more obviously and totally representative of this reality than Rolling Stone Magazine, once an emblem of the West Coast counterculture and a favorite tabloid of those seeking the beautiful, easygoing, rock & roll mentality of California. Now, the magazine shills for a corrosive and nauseating ideology that recently promoted Independence Day in the U.S. as a holiday that commemorates occupying native lands. These people are totally out of touch with their past and basically hate themselves. That is what cancer is – when a person hates themselves at the cellular level. This is the modern leftist ideology today.

That is why it is important for US citizens to be aware of this and to recognize the cancer for what it is. Where it is present, it must be removed from positions of power and decision-making authority.

Leftism has metastasized. It must now be removed by scalpel.

Leftist and left-leaning groups from Google to Facebook, to the FBI, the US Democrat Party, to the corporations bowing to their pressure for social activism like Anheuser Busch, Walt Disney, and Nike; to the academic institutions like Berkeley, University of Arizona, and Columbia— they, themselves, cannot see the futility and backwardness of their own cause. They trumpet it forth because they lack the economic, political, and social understanding of what it is they are saying and doing. Those that do understand the ramifications of their course of action are those who are so insulated that they are not harmed by the chaos they sow, and some actually derive profit from it.

If you have read this essay, and if it resonates with you, you must act. There is no sitting back and watching this occur. If you do not act, you are guilty of complicity. This is not a situation where the problem is just going to fade away on its own. The corrosiveness here is infecting all levels of US institutions, corporations, and levels of government.

We can remove it easily by recognizing it and choosing a better path.

NH Executive Councilor Blocks Constituent After He Asks Her a Question about The Arrests of the NH9

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 12:00 +0000

If you did not know, charges were dropped against all the remaining defendants of the NH9 – the individuals targeted and arrested at an October 2021 Executive Council Meeting. And here’s something else you might not know. Things have gotten more interesting since then.

We know you can get your ginned-up charges dropped if you subpoena the Governor as a witness – which he was. You can also ask important questions of your Executive Councilor who was present during the illegal arrests, like, “Did you knowingly participate and coordinate the unlawful arrests of nine innocent people on October 13th, 2021.

One of Janet Stevens’ constituents asked that very question. This was her response.

 

 

Since a polite “no” would have been easier than blocking him, some folks might conclude EC Stevens has something to hide. Complicity would be the thing.

In the event of a civil suit, should Councilor Stevens expect to be subpoenaed as a witness? She was near the Governor when he appeared to signal the State Police to arrest and remove nine individuals who appeared to have been identified in advance, and there’s evidence to suggest this. Terese Grinnell Bastarche’s “Defendant’s Opposition to Motion To Quash Subpoena Of Governor Christopher T. Sununu” includes details you can – on your very own – confirm by watching the video that has been available since the day of the arrests. It is interesting reading.

 

  • The Governor is the Prime Material Witness in the Case
  • The video in this matter does not disclose anything that could be remotely characterized as a “disruption” by the defendant prior to her arrest.
  • Governor Sununu is uniquely situated to testify whether, when, and how the meeting was disrupted.

 

If you need more proof, Governor Sununu is listed on the complaint as having ordered the arrests. Now go back and look at the video and ask yourself when and how those nine individuals were identified when no one actually did anything to disrupt the meeting.

The arrests appear planned, and these nine individuals were targeted. The Governor signaled the State police, who then went right to those people and removed them. The arrests were only disruption of that meeting to occur.

You don’t need to be an Executive Councilor to see that.

While we wait for word of a civil suit, any or all five Executive Councilors should expect to get subpoenaed to testify, including Councilor Stevens’ whose blocked constituent might have a different bone to pick.

Has she violated his first amendment rights by blocking him on a social media account where she engages in a reasonable amount of political communication? It is a common tactic of elected officials, regardless of political party, to block people. One I caution against. Several cases addressing the issue have been decided, so there is a growing precedent to suggest that blocking constituents may violate their First Amendment Rights in some instances.

I’m sure Councilor Stevens can find a judge in New Hampshire to disagree. That doesn’t seem too difficult for people in positions of power in this state. You then hope your accuser can’t afford to climb the Judicial ladder to a Circuit Court or Supreme Court. Most cannot.

What you can’t change is that Councilor Stevens blocked him, and now thousands of her constituents will know about it. The violation is a subject of debate among likely voters instead of between Janet and the constituent she blocked. You’re welcome.

Two closing points.

First, I get that annoying, angry, or vulgar trolls may not have much defense if blocked. Our practice is to remind people to be polite and on point when reaching out to anyone in government, with the understanding that, short of a finite number of circumstances, blocking a constituent on social media might violate the law.

Second, the constituent’s question was nothing that rose to the level of an annoying, angry, vulgar troll. “Did you knowingly participate and coordinate the unlawful arrests of nine innocent people on October 13th, 2021,” is a relevant question whose answer should be no. That’s not what the counselor did, which implies many things other than no.

If you were thinking about issuing a subpoena for a witness in a civil trial against Governor Sununu for false arrest, assuming there was one, Janet Stevens looks more than ever like your gal.

I’m sure that’s what she was thinking when she blocked the constituent rather than answer the question.

 

After her charges were dropped, Terese Grinnell Bastarche sat down for an interview with the GIP Guys. This is an excellent resource if you’d like more background on that day and what followed.

Stop With The Gun Control, Do Your Job

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 10:30 +0000

It used to be a weekend event in Chicago where we counted the dead and wounded from gun shootings. Now it can be any day of the week, and it might be Philadelphia, Atlanta, or a small town like Naples, Maine.

No city or town in America is immune to gun violence from some deranged individual with their agenda. The only thing guaranteed is the Right will call for stricter use of the laws already on the books, and Liberal District Attorneys will call a press conference to plead for more gun laws. Both are feeble demands, but the call for gun control to end these random, senseless shootings is worse than feeble.

The claims are lazy. Gun controls have minimal impact on these ridiculous losses of life, for when the dust settles, and the facts come out, most of the weapons used in these shootings were obtained illegally. The strictest gun laws in the country will not keep a person hell-bent on injuring and killing people from accomplishing their objective.

Look at the details of the shooting incident in Philadelphia during the holiday weekend. First, people were appalled that the event happened during the 4th of July celebration. Holidays or days of the week mean nothing to these killers. When they snap, they snap, period. The randomness of the shooting is most alarming to me. In the neighborhood security video, we see the man in the video raise the AR-15 and begin shooting round after round into a parked vehicle.

When he finished shooting, five innocent people were killed and two injured. The shooter was soon arrested without incident. Officers arrested Carriker during a chase on foot, and he had an AR-style rifle, a 9 mm handgun, a scanner that tracks emergency response radio traffic, and was wearing a bulletproof vest and ski mask, authorities said.

Authorities are also investigating a since-deleted social media page believed to belong to the accused gunman, 40-year-old Kimbrady Carriker, that includes a series of posts about guns, the Second Amendment, and the “loss of freedoms,” according to a law enforcement source. Initial reports from neighbors of Carriker indicate a growing rage, and many felt he was prone to performing the violent act he acted out on Monday night. This lack of action, not gun control, is the problem. People saw the person’s personality change but did nothing about it. His posts on social media showed he was a ticking time bomb; on Monday, the fuse was lit, and the carnage was left in his wake.

Carriker had no previous record, but many of the shooters recently have had multiple incidents where they were not incarcerated but let back into society to repeat their crimes. These DAs can continue to call for new laws, but until they enforce those on the books, they should skip the press conference and do their jobs.

Brookfield Author John Klar Releases New Farming Book

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 01:30 +0000

Attorney and farmer John Klar has released a book with Vermont’s Chelsea Green Publishing titled Small Farm Republic: Why Conservatives Must Embrace Local Agriculture, Reject Climate Alarmism, and Lead an Environmental Revival.

Farmer, writer, and food rights activist Joel Salatin writes in the Foreword to Small Farm Republic:

“[Klar] dares Republicans to get off their chemical industrial anti-health soil-degrading train and embrace a bottom-up entrepreneurial solution: small farms serving local food needs. This book is prescient and timely. “Food liberty is necessary for any liberty at all.” Amen, John Klar. Conservatives who embrace liberty and freedom can get on the right side of national health and food/farm integrity by embracing this prophetic treatise. ”

Chelsea Green Publishing writes:

“John Klar offers an alternative that puts small farmers, regenerative agriculture, and personal liberty at the center of an environmental revival.”

Klar calls for a nonpartisan focus on chemical pollution over greenhouse gasses; small farms over globalist plans to dominate food production; and improved American food quality and security over increased dependence on foreign food. Many of the policy proposals advanced in his book were part of Klar’s political platform in prior elections.

Small Farm Republic is available at Amazon, where it ranks as #1 in Agriculture & Food Policy, and at Chelsea Green Publishing (chelseagreen.com). Klar’s substack newsletter and podcast is johnklar.substack.com.

 

Editors Note: John Klar will be one of the regular contributors to our new venture in Vermont.

The 2024 Election Fraud Playbook, brought to you by the U.S. Democrat Party

Granite Grok - Fri, 2023-07-07 00:00 +0000

The modern techniques used by the U.S. Democrat Party to install its politicians have been gradually developed since the 2000 election, which saw Al Gore lose to George Bush II on technicalities in Florida.

Many on the U.S. political left cried fraud, and there likely was some involved.

Many US Republicans have been complicit or accepting of DNC-led fraud because they remember 2000 and are willing to play political ball and give a victory here. Unfortunately for them, the US Democrat Party has metastasized into a group of totalitarians, fascists, communists, and radical socialists hell-bent on the total destruction of the USA so that they can rebuild it in their own image as a new country.

Step One of the Playbook is to smear all political opponents in the most rude and base ways possible so that US citizens do not bother to read or hear anything that the opposing politicians say. The object is to get U.S. citizens to simply ignore all candidates and vote Democrat. RFK, for example, is smeared as an anti-vax, anti-science conspiracy theorist. What does that even mean? Most U.S. Democrat Party followers would not be able to really tell you.

Trump is smeared as a far-right, homophobic, racist, fascist, Nazi, white supremacist. Despite none of these claims actually being true, they have been drumbeat for so many years that most people do not bother to even question them. The ridiculousness of the smears makes it difficult to actually produce an intelligent and logical response– they are that dumbfounding. Have you noticed that according to leftist news media sources, there are no center-right candidates in the US political field? These leftist legacy media folks have lost all credibility in the eyes of any intelligent, honest citizen.

The Second Step of the DNC’s Election Fraud Playbook involved polling and disinformation. The Democrat Party, through its institutionalized media outlets like The AtlanticPolitico, and a slew of polling institutions, puts out numbers that it has allegedly drawn from legitimate polls, which show its politicians as favored or within reach of winning. In reality, most DNC politicians have no chance of winning their elections. Almost all of them require some sort of ballot fraud.

Step Three of the DNC’s Election Fraud Playbook (EFP) involves Secretaries of State and Governors. These individuals are either Democrat Party politicians themselves or under threat of death to follow the Democrat agenda (like the Georgia governor, whose staffer was killed in 2020 to send a message to him to cooperate or else). These people in state office wield their power to force election-related policies that will set up later ballot fraud. They hire and train election workers. They work in conjunction with Big Tech NGOs, like Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech & Civic Life (CTCL) and other organizations, to subliminally show poll workers how to throw the election. Of course, Alphabet and Meta, the parent companies of Google and Facebook, do their fair share in manipulating peoples’ information streams on their smartphones so that they understand their role in the election fraud strategy.

Step Four of the EFP is election day itself. On this day, many techniques are used to prevent Republicans from voting. Different states use different methods, and these methods constantly develop in order to circumvent Republican and Independent efforts to maintain election integrity. Maricopa County in Arizona, for example, sabotaged ballot readers in Republican majority precincts, which resulted in long lines and ballots up for adjudication (see next step). In California, for the Gavin Newsom recall election against Larry Elder, many residents reported that their vote had already been cast somewhere else when they hadn’t yet voted. This is another popular technique– the ghost vote. Democrat-led voting precincts take all measures possible to remove Republicans and Independents from counting rooms and voting centers, citing voter intimidation or some other nonsense.

Step Five is the ballot adjudication. This works especially well for mail-in ballots, which have drastically increased in usage after COVID. Most Republican-led legislatures are too distracted or too complicit to effectively walk back COVID measures, and most states are maintaining high volumes of mail-in ballots. These must all be opened by hand and can be easily set aside for adjudication. When a ballot is damaged or marked incorrectly (according to the poll worker or the counting machine), it must be adjudicated.

In 2020, adjudication rates skyrocketed. This process is usually conducted in a secret location that the public and media cannot oversee. In Pennsylvania, the adjudication process takes up to seven to ten days after the election, which gives the PA Democrat Party, one of the most corrupt in the country, plenty of time to manufacture however many votes it needs and prevent any opposition. This is also a time when additional ballots can be printed and appeared.

In 2024, there is an additional step being prepared that comes even before Step One. This is a Step Zero. It involves all of the newly arrived illegal immigrants from the Biden junta’s first few years in office. All of these people have been trafficked from places all over the world through sophisticated networks of racist NGOs intent on packing the USA with Africans, Asians, and anyone they can find who isn’t Caucasian. The mission is to prepare for a planned Caucasian ethnic cleansing that is being perpetrated in academic institutions in California, New York, Arizona, and Chicago. The plan is to have illegal immigrants staff the election.

These newly minted U.S. citizens, many of whom have court dates over the next seven years, have been issued smartphones by the U.S. government with Apple and Google operating systems. They are the perfect pawns for the U.S. Democrat Party. Since they are not even U.S. citizens yet, they can be abused extralegally, and the U.S. standing laws don’t neatly apply to them as they would to longstanding citizens. These illegal immigrants already have loose morals and know that they are in the country potentially illegally. They mostly all have very fluid identities and a fluid sense of how the world works. They can be manipulated through their smartphones via signals intelligence warfare techniques very easily. They are all beholden to the Biden junta and the U.S. Democrat Party because those people enabled their access to the USA and helped them to set up their lives here. Additionally, many of them have conflicted identities and relationships with the countries where they came from, many of which are outspoken critics or outright geopolitical enemies of the USA.

The 2024 election may be the most fraudulent yet. The Biden junta will try to stay in power by any means necessary. They may attempt to assassinate RFK Jr, hoping that US citizens will sheepishly allow another Kennedy politician to be killed for the power and profit of the globalist-corporatists and the military-industrial complex. They will continue to attempt to jail Trump, and continued programming from legacy media channels is their rationale behind promoting basically any ridiculous charge they can concoct.

The charge doesn’t matter– what matters is that the U.S. Democrat Party can encourage a handful of loud, obnoxious activists to show up and make a scene so that it seems there is some consensus in support of the U.S. Democrat agenda (which is not one that supports real, true democracy, but seems to subvert it at every level).
