Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity… Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. But it has become an incredibly powerful tool for Islam, and its newly ascendant drive to dominate the West and create a worldwide Caliphate. Of course, that desire has never flagged, but the ebb and flow of power and religion and technological and cultural advancement (and its lack in the Arab/Muslim world) has conspired to prevent Islam from acquiring the means to destroy Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism. That has changed: Oil revenue, the revolution in transportation, the internet and its instant worldwide connectivity, and most of all the post-modern decay of the West has allowed militant Islam (is there any other kind?) unprecedented access to the West; both physically through immigration, and virtually, through the internet and the purchase of influence with oceans of oil revenue. And the "Palestine" question is the tip of the spear of Islam. They use the issue to cow weak-willed Western governments into vilifying Israel, which paradoxically is the one Western country that is fighting Islam's expansion! They use their millions of followers in the West as violent signals of what Islam is capable of...mobilizing them for often violent street protests that are designed to frighten the populace and signal to the political classes that they must support Islam, because it is growing, it is violent, and it will vote! Those carefully choreographed mass prayers in Western cities? Why do they pray in the streets when they have perfectly good mosques available? They are flexing! When thousands of Muslims block traffic near the Vatican for their performative street theater of prayer, in spite of Rome having a 12,000 person mosque, it is for one thing...to signal to the world that the West, Christianity, Catholicism, and the Pope are targets. "Palestine" is an excuse. The Arab world finds the so-called Palestinians to be more trouble than they are worth, and much prefer that they remain in Gaza and Judea and Samaria (or immigrate to the West). Just look at Egypt...right next to Gaza, yet their border is tightly controlled and impassable, and they are serious about keeping the Gazans out of Egypt! But as a tool to destroy Israel? Absolutely. And as a tool with which to intimidate Western politicians who are willing to feed that crocodile? Fantastic! Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground. The recent summit of China, India, and Russia is in stark contrast to the West's inability to see Islam as it is, rather than as it wishes to be seen. China controls its Muslim population with an iron fist. India has a simmering conflict with Pakistan and regularly cracks down on its Muslim population, and Russia has no illusions about Islam's goals. Are those three countries going to be the saviors of the world against Islam? [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

China, Russia, and India can not save the West from Islam. Russia and Communist China are in "Imperial Overstretch" and will lose the ability to shape Islam. India has an internal problem and a Islamic country that hates India, with it's own nuclear weapons. Even though Pakistan is a hot mess, they exist.

You know who else understands the felonious scumbaggery of Islam? The Philippines. They have long had problems with insane murderous Muslim groups in the south. The notorious error group Abu Sayyaf is from south Philippines.
Ferdinand Marcos was allowed to stay in power as long as he did in part because he was (rightfully) ruthless against the Muslim terrorists. Sadly, his sons were soyboys who bent the knee. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 11:07 AM (iFTx/) 18
I don't much care about Palestine. No one is going to do, or allow to be done, what everyone knows must be done, including Israel, which has a significant self-gassing contingent. It's not that I don't have a preferred side (obviously), but it's hard to care about a problem that no one actually wants to solve.

Man charged with murder in Houston door-knock prank shooting of 11-year-old boy
Cass said the boy who was shot in the back lived about a block from the home. The victim and at least two of his friends had been going around their neighborhood banging on or kicking doors and running away, Cass said. Cass said the preliminary information indicates that the victims and his friends ran down the street after banging on the suspect's door. "Our witness says the suspect came out of the door, ran out into the street and was firing down the road," Cass said. He said the victim was able to run about a block before collapsing in the street.

Muslims do what their demonic prophet demands they do.
Lie, cheat, steal, rape, plunder, torture, murder for the glory of Allah. When they don't have power, they lie and subvert. When they do have power, they torture and oppress. There are some "good" Muslims, but they are the ones who ignore the demands of their demonic religion. "True" Muslims are evil people.

Pick up an early 1960s encyclopedia for the letter "P". There will be no entry for "Palestine" in most of them. In the one or two that did have an entry for "Palestine", it merely says that Palestine is a region--there is no mention of statehood or government and no claims made that the "region" has or was "stolen".

Posted by: polynikes ------- Russia has a demographic crisis itself where ethnic minorities are increasing faster than the core white Rus population. And that war with Ukraine ain't helping that. India is in better shape regarding Muslims simply because Indian fertility is as high as its enemies and China is actually stomping on Uighurs up to and including concentration camps for them.

Jews have been living in Israel for as long as we can measure, the Muslims conquered it in the 600s but it was generally not an important of a region for them.
Most of the Muslim population in Israel moved there after the start of Zionism in the 1800s. The European Jews that moved to the region brought scientific knowledge and modern production/farming methods which then created a market for workers, which Egyptians and Jordanians responded to. So, removing the Muslim population from Israel would clearly be "anti-colonialism" but unlike removing whites from South Africa the left has a problem with their ideas being used in this region for some reason...

Way too many fucknuckles running everything from behind the scenes. Fomenting revolution and coups around the globe, it’s little wonder there’s going to be “blowback”. I’m not excusing their perfidy but it does help explain it. They have been making bank on the destruction as well. It would be difficult to overstate how precarious this situation really is.

A cosplayer is facing 10 years in prison for a third degree felony charge. What did 25 yr old Kendra Manning do? She made a threat to blow up the Gamer Supps booth at San Japan Anime + Gaming convention. Luckily someone reported her threat to con staff who in turn called in the police. Was she a feminist that hated scantily clad cosplay chicks? Or did she hate this company in particular? And is Kendra actually a woman or a DIAD?

India is in better shape regarding Muslims simply because Indian fertility is as high as its enemies and China is actually stomping on Uighurs up to and including concentration camps for them. Sinification of Sinkiang has been going on for decades now.
I was curious, so I checked. The fertility rate for Indian muslims is 2.36 (above replacement) while that for Hindus is 1.9 (below replacement). Pakistan is 3.6 as of 2023. https://is.gd/xOjsYm Posted by: Archimedes at September 02, 2025 11:22 AM (Riz8t) 78
By that logic, it's probably best to just do whatever muslims want. Upsetting them should not lead to being killed. But it may lead to be killed. Probably best not to upset them.

Long ago and far away...at the turn of the century-
Forbes had a special edition 1999 on What would be the important issues or discoveries or problems of the 21st Century and had all sorts of Big Brains and Our Betters writing short articles on their mind-thoughts. Most of the articles were the usual pablum and banal observations, but- one guy's article really stood out to me. He argued that the 21st century would see the re-introduction of imperialism by the West specifically to control and possibly eliminate islam, because of all the violence and instability that islam was creating in the world. Then 9/11 happened and I thought...well, here we go. Did that guy ever make to right call! Buuuuuuuuuut, sadly...no. Instead, islam with the help of the WEF, EU et al, decided to let Islam imperialism colonize the West and bring that instability/terrorism/rape world wide.

Massive Discovery Hints at a Lost Global Civilization Wiped Out by a Mysterious Flood
A hidden city buried under Iraq’s desert may hold the key to a forgotten global civilization destroyed by a flood 20,000 years ago. Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed. This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt.

Once the assault aka what created the original fear of death or serious injury ends as in the kids running away, then the threat is over--no lethal force is allowed. For the most part, leaving the house to engage in fighting with the intruder slides over into mutual combat rather than repelling an assault. The caveat is protection of others from assault such as a perp trying to snatch one's child out of the front yard or some such.

We had some drunk Hispanic dude try to kick in our front door early New Year's morning a few years ago. My son and I put our full combined weight against the door while my wife called the cops. They came and hauled the guy away. He was pretty short, and my son and I are both tall, so even had he succeeded in getting into the house the two of us could've easily subdued him.

Gaza post-war plan proposes ‘voluntary' relocation, ‘tokens’ in exchange for land, US media reports
Middle East A post-war plan for Gaza circulating within President Donald Trump's administration envisions a "voluntary relocation" of the population to build a tourist and manufacturing hub that will be overseen by the US for at least 10 years, the Washington Post reported Sunday. The 38-page plan offers Gaza land owners a "digital token" in exchange for property development rights. Issued on: 31/08/2025 By: FRANCE 24 ---- Running head first into a wall. Again.

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in the use of National Guard troops amid Southern California immigration enforcement operations and accompanying protests. Clinton Judge Charles Breyer found President Donald Trump’s administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. The judge in San Francisco did not require the remaining troops to be withdrawn, however. He set his order to go into effect on Friday.

>>The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is one of those stupidly unconstitutional things that has been allowed to fester because it feeds too many scriveners. Well, not looking at the history at, I can imagine that chief executives were getting very creative with the money congress was appropriating. I'm fine with the whole if money isn't explicitly appropriated then the executive gets to decide what to do with it, if it's explicitly appropriated but the administration believes the expenditure is not appropriate and or the purpose can be achieved for less or through different means, then impound and rescind. The problem is congress is corrupt, lazy and dead-locked so nothing can really be done quickly or efficiently. Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 02, 2025 11:41 AM (XFPre) 163

Yeah, chasing an actual home invader down the street and shooting him in the back as he flees (while fine by me honestly) could easily lead to a charge.

Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has revealed he ditched the Democrats to back President Trump after realizing the US border crisis was spiraling out of control — insisting he could no longer support a party that “lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.” The tech billionaire was a lifelong Dem — until around 2021, when he started shifting toward the Republican Party because of his concern at the lack of immigration enforcement under President Joe Biden. “I remember just being like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy,’” Gebbia told “The Katie Miller Podcast” on Monday.

Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed.
This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt. Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 11:32 AM (RHGPo) Just a thought- if a civilization as advanced as ours got wiped out by a catastrophe (say, a flood), what would be left after just 1000 years?

Let’s get their adrenaline level up due to fear for a while. Posted by: Common Tater ======== Warning shots in almost every state actually give those fleeing a possible right to self defense by shooting you. Once the threat is over, you cannot re engage with something like a warning shot as that starts the clock on a new confrontation. In that new confrontation, you are now in the position of the aggressor. Whether or not you feel they need to be punished, nowadays warning shots or even brandishing are NOT the way to do it unless you want to be charged. Better off using cameras, etc. and other passive means to retaliate by reporting it to the cops. My advice so YMMV. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (WDjG6) 184

Just my luck but on day 3 of doing the same thing at the same time I got the house of a young angry dad who was waiting in between houses. And the race was on! He whiffed on the open tackle and I made a break across the street and through back yards. Little did I know about the terraced yard I was running through and I felt this guys hand on my shirt just as I also felt nothing under my feet.

Better off using cameras, etc. and other passive means to retaliate by reporting it to the cops. My advice so YMMV. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (WDjG6)" Warning shots are a terrible idea re: the man because in many environments, gunshots are, well, very noticeable. Brandishing on the other hand is situational. Far more bullshit gets stopped in its tracks with some judicious brandishing than by verbal threats or actual violence. They key is you have to understand where/when to do it such that the other party isn't going to report it; and if they call your bluff you're going to have to be ready to shoot them - and make up some bullshit about how they started it, presuming you can't just GTFO entirely and wash your hands of it. Is this legal, hell no. Do people have the judgement and understanding that "what is legal" differs from "what is practical or possible" based on life experience to swing it - not always. But it's the way things actually work in much of the world. Posted by: heya at September 02, 2025 11:53 AM (/AlcU) 208

Nowadays, assume all your comms are accessible to third parties including what you post here--you share something with a third party--they can obtain it and your id from a simple subpoena. And they can introduce any of these in court because they are exempt from hearsay rules because any statement that the defendant makes is NOT hearsay by definition.

Posted by: Oddbob ========== My advice is don't. Georgia had a similar law which was set aside in the Arberry case due to federal and state political pressure. And Arberry even tried to seize the shotgun from one of the people trying to stop him from leaving. Often the bare statutory laws are undercut by a whole series of judicial interpretations where they don't end up meaning what you think they would by reading the statute. If you must do research on the topic, always dig up the pattern jury instructions for self defense (if available--most large states have them). That takes into account judicial precedents in common English language along with the statutory law that applies. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 12:10 PM (WDjG6) 260
Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground.
--- Islam only means "submission". Submission to what? The dictates of Allah. But that all gets filtered through the Imam you are listening to. So pragmatically it means submission to the will of somebody on this earth, for whatever they can stretch the Koran around. Submission for Wahabis is drastically different from more hospitable sects of Islam. (That you can't always trust, anyway). Whereas Christianity is spreading the belief in Jesus of Nazareth as the only Son of the Most High and leaders serving the people they lead. Islam tends to have mostly political and military "outreaches", supporting the idea that Muslims should rule all "infidels". So, it definitely is more of a political strategy.

- A new push by states to tax the real estate of the wealthy has sparked a backlash among brokers and potential buyers, who say the taxes punish the most important local spenders.
- Rhode Island’s new levy, nicknamed “The Taylor Swift Tax,” is among the most extreme. The measure imposes a new surcharge on second homes valued at more than $1 million. - Brokers say some second-home owners are considering selling and many would-be buyers are pausing their purchases.

>>> 224 Massive earth disturbances--such as cutting railroad passes, open pit mines, interstates, etc. Basically you cannot move masses of earth, stones, etc. without leaving an indelible geologic record across the globe.
If there was an earlier civilization than Sumer, Harappa, etc., then it probably was on par with those places, not a massively advanced global one. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:52 AM (WDjG6) I'll grant you the evidence of the tunnels/mines/road cutting, but that's not really much in the way to indicate how advanced a civilization was, just that it existed. Posted by: Formerly Virginian at September 02, 2025 11:58 AM (N1tpc) Yes and no. With plate tectonics *nothing* is indelible, but obviously, *that* is a long time frame for "everything being wiped from the record". I like to think in terms of a half-life of a civilization - the more advanced, the longer it takes and harsher conditions to wipe out most recognizable traces. And since when do we have *any* places to compare to? Plus, archaeologists seem to be one of the most hidebound groups - if something doesn't match their expectations, it's obviously a mistake, not a problem with their history.

258 Yes, I understand we’re all being monitored and on lists, and they want to kill us and throw us into a camp, take all our stuff, and don’t want to allow anybody the right of self-defense. I get that. The courts are completely corrupted, many of the police departments too. No argument there.
Posted by: Common Tater ======= It is not that so much as IF you use lethal force against someone else, then everything you did or said goes to the totality of circumstances of whether or not you understood the objective (except for a couple of states) standard of fearing serious injury or death from the yute's actions. Police now commonly subpoena social media and seize computers, phones, etc. in the course of investigations of serious crimes and those can be used by a malicious prosecutor to paint your character into a particular bloodthirsty villain. Similarly, putting cute sayings on your pistolas or rifles, putting up signs that jokingly suggest violence for trespass, and so on, are problems. Even handloading your self defense ammo (messing up GSR is a known issue with handloads) can be and has been brought up along with choice of weapons.

Burkina Faso's transitional parliament has passed a law banning homosexuality with offenders facing up to five years in prison. The Persons and Family Code law, making Burkina Faso the latest in a series of African countries to criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activity, also tightens rules on nationality and stateless people.

== Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 12:30 PM (WDjG6) Um. I don't know if there's another section similar to what rickb223 quoted about actions in response to Things That *Are* Felonies, but it's ... interesting to me that it's as open as it appears for NON felonies.

Reading one statutory provision without considering ALL the statutory provisions for a particular crime is not wise. Likewise, caselaw in many states actually undercuts many of those provisions which modern courts have considered dated. There is a lot of old law based on before police and law enforcement was widely available regarding citizen's arrest, apprehension of felons,etc.
A cautionary example is the Ahmaud Arberry case in Georgia where the plain language of the Civil War era statute was ignored by judges and the three guys are spending most of their remaining days on Earth in prison because of it. Georgia consequently changed its law regarding citizen arrests and the state judges capitulated due to public pressure and threat of federal intervention.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket ====== You cannot read and the judges/jury do not read provisions as separate and discrete in most applications. The citation above is a general requirement for using self defense at all. Thus the later numbered provision on property is still restricted by the general statute. There is a reason that lawyers are employed in such matters--you start with the whole statutory provisions on self defense and then look for the specific. If you have read statutory provisions--you will often see them begin with definitions first, then the general provisions, then the specifics. And then you add in the common law interpretations of those statutes in specific cases. So lawyers start with you spilling your guts about all facts prompted occasionally by questions, then they may pull up a reference or two (old style books, new style computer databases), and apply the law as they understand it to the facts in your case.

OneEyedJack,
------ You do know that Dick the Butcher is a villain in that play. "He is portrayed as a murderous thug who joins the rebellion not for ideological reasons but for the joy of anarchy, seeking to kill lawyers and have his way with women." Shakespeare is caricaturing the anarchy caused by Jack Cade and his rebellion. Same as Daniel Shays did in trying to close the courts in Western Mass or the Whiskey Rebellion sought to do.

Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 12:45 PM (WDjG6) That may be true, but I was referring to Shakespear. A totally different guy. ( Who knew a misspelled name would come in so handy?) Posted by: OneEyedJack at September 02, 2025 12:52 PM (Hx0tZ) 358
