What A Tragedy

 

You may have forgotten, but yesterday was the anniversary of a most terrible tragedy, the fall of Constantinople on May 29, 1453, and with it the end of the Christian Eastern Roman Empire. From that time on until now, the splendid capitol of  Eastern Christendom, the second Rome, has been occupied by Moslems.

Accounts vary, but it's said that the last Emperor, Constantine XI, fell in action against the Turks who swarmed into the city on that fateful day. The same Turks who went on to desecrate churches and enslave, rape and kill the city's people in a deadly three day orgy of destruction and looting. 

Constantine had appealed to the West for help and none came, European Christendom was too busy fighting itself and this, I believe, is utterly shameful. We should have launched a Crusade and rallied to the defense of our Eastern brothers and if we had, not only would Constantinople have remained Christian, so too might much of the Middle East. It didn't because we failed to rise to the challenge and look how that mistake's cost us, quite literally, in welfare payments, to say nothing of terrorist savagery.

So now, thanks to our 15th century failure, Islam, which is an existential threat to the civilization of the West and the Faith that undergirds it, sits on top of what was the Eastern Roman Empire, facing us across the Mediterranean and beyond. We may thank God we had the resolve to throw them off at Malta and cast them down at Lepanto.

we need this back

Does that resolve exist today? Not in the governing structures of the rainbow-hued utopias of the EU and UK, they're going full-tilt import Islamic savage invader. You may recall Chesterton wrote a book about it, the Flying Inn, so prescient. Here in the US? Maybe not so pressing an issue until you visit Plano, Texas, of all places, or the equally unlikely Michigan. 

Regardless, surely it's time we took Constantinople back and restored Hagia Sophia to its former glory. C'mon, it's not as though we couldn't do it, and let's free the North of England while we're at it. Sorry, make that the UK.

Houston, We Have A Problem

 

Several crazed Moslem savages shot up a group of Jews celebrating Hannukah on Bondi beach in disarmed Australia. Horrendous, and it seems 16 were killed, maybe more. Diversity is so obviously our strength and Islam's a religion of peace. No it isn't, Mohammed was a warlord, ask the Khaybar Jews and everyone else:

The Nice Attack = Muslim

The Paris Attacks = Muslims

The Shoe Bomber = Muslim

The Orlando attack = Muslim

The Beltway Snipers = Muslims

The Fort Hood Shooter = Muslim

The Underwear Bomber = Muslim

The Westminster Attack = Muslim

The 2005 Bali Bombings = Muslims

The murder of Lee Rigby = Muslims

The U.S.S. Cole Bombers = Muslims

The London Bridge Attack = Muslims

The Madrid Train Bombers = Muslims

The Charlie Hebdo Attacks = Muslims

The San Bernardino Attacks = Muslims

The Surabaya bombings = Muslims

The Minnesota Mall stabbings = Muslim

The 7/7 bombers = Muslims

The Moscow Theatre Attackers = Muslims

The Boston Marathon Bombers = Muslims

The Ankara Airport Attack = Muslims

The Manchester Arena bombing = Muslim

The Pan-Am #103 Bombers = Muslims

The Iranian Embassy Takeover = Muslims

The Air France Hijackers = Muslims

The 2002 Bali Nightclub = Muslims

The Batta Meena Attacks = Muslims

The Beirut Embassy bombers = Muslims

The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack = Muslims

The Yazidi Massacre of 2014 = Muslims

The Beheading of French priest = Muslims

The Buenos Aires bombers = Muslims

The Israeli Olympic Team = Muslims

The Kenyan U.S Embassy = Muslims

The Khobar Towers Bombers = Muslims

The Beirut Marine bombers = Muslims

The Besian School Attackers = Muslims

The First WTC bombers = Muslims

The Beheading of Daniel Pearl = Muslims

The Achille Lauro Hijackers = Muslims

The Bombay Attackers = Muslims

The 9/11 hijackers = Muslims

And on and on and on since the 7th century AD. You don't have to be some kind of genius historian to know that Islam isn't a religion of peace, and that GW Bush was a faked up fraud for coining the phrase. In the meanwhile, yet more people are dead thanks to suicidal leftist empathy and vote importing skulduggery masquerading as compassion.

May victims of this latest atrocity rest in peace,

Cold Fusion

It's Twelfth Night and the end of the Christmastide so it's only natural to pause in your reveling and reflect on Cold Fusion (CF). You know, the elusive holy grail of nuclear fusion occurring at or around room temperature. How does this happen?

When hydrogen atoms are infused into various metals, such as nickel and palladium. In the resulting LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) more heat is produced than went into the reaction in the first place and it's relatively safe.

CF produces slow moving neurons which don't create ionizing radiation or radioactive waste and its ingredients are plentiful and inexpensive. Excellent, a clean, cheap source of abundant power; no wonder an experimental reactor, ITER, is being built in Europe. But there's a twofold catch. 

Limitless non-polluting energy means no climate changing gasses from burning fossil fuels and that's a disaster because it means no more carbon tax, no more excuse to tax the weather. Oh dear, there goes that income stream. Then there's the Moslems. 

With Cold Fusion safely underway, we wouldn't have to rely on the meteorite worshipers for oil. Bad day for Saudi Arabia and the Clinton Foundation! Happy day for all those who resent being enslaved by primitive savage Mohammedans.

Quite a conundrum. Cold Fusion's obviously racist and climate denying; it also takes more energy to produce than it creates, unless Rossi's E-Cat's to be believed. 

So in the meanwhile, here's what we recommend at the Compound. Drill, drill, drill ANWR.

Energy independence forever,
