The Koran Used by Keith Ellison Has a Story

Recently the first Muslim was sworn in to the congress of the United States. He swore in on the Koran, the Muslim holy book. The book belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Somehow, spin-doctors used this as a sort of validation of the act and loaned it a form of sovereignty resulting from the book being a possession of Thomas Jefferson. Keith Ellison placed his hand upon his book of religious affiliation under a news and publicity whirlwind said to be more prolific than the fanfare of any colleagues' swearing in ceremony.

This book was no ordinary book. It was the Koran used by Thomas Jefferson to understand and learn about his enemy. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. He was a founding father of the United States. He was a big shot. There is no question of his role in the formation of this country and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson's library has 6500 books in it and it was one of those 6500 books. To speak of it in some form that makes it sound like his owning it makes it somehow "OK", is a misnomer and a form of "spin".

Ellison was born in Detroit Michigan. He converted to Islam while attending college and said that he wished to use Jefferson's book as it showed that Jefferson was a visionary and that his ownership of this book showed he believed he could glean wisdom from many sources.

There is no doubt that Jefferson did in fact believe information could be gleaned from many sources, but, in Jefferson's case the wisdom gleaned was more an apparatus of enemy intelligence for what was a growing problem with Muslim slave traders of the Barbary Coast of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli. The Muslims were Pirates and their raids of African, European Christians and Americans enslaved millions.

This was all well known during the late 1700's and 1800's. Ellison's use of Jefferson's Koran was a stunt of magnificent proportions when balanced against the truth of why Jefferson had that book and what it was used for in the first place. It was what Jefferson read to gain knowledge of his enemy.

In 1776, when the US Became an independent nation, it was no longer under English rule and with that, it no longer was due protection from English Battle Ships while US Ships were in the Mediterranean. By 1784 the Muslim Pirates of the Mediterranean were wreaking havoc on American Trade there. Trade being what makes the world of economy spin and economy being what spins the interest and growth of a nation it became a material fact that the Muslim Pirates in the Barbary Coast were becoming a very big problem. Criminals running loose, wreaking wholesale havoc seems to date back in the Muslim world to at least the 1700's...sounds familiar, does it not?

In that year, the Continental Congress agreed to send emissaries to negotiate a treaty with those Barbary Coast Islamic Nations. Presiding over those negotiations were the appointees, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.

The outcome of those negotiations was the first huge foolish act of appeasement. It was agreed to pay the Barbary Coast Nations for protection from pirates that hailed from those very countries. Shall we discuss job/income security? May we bring attention to a glaring conflict of interest?

Tributes and ransoms were casually paid for the return of abductees and the situation likens itself to a comparison of Al Capone in the 1930's Chicago. Any form of rhyme and reason was at the mercy of the Muslim concepts based in part if not wholly upon the Muslim belief that if people and nations are not of Islamic subservience then they were to be killed and conquered. In accord with their Islamic beliefs, the fact that they were allowing the infidel to live at all was a great mercy. Nothing further was required.

I could expound on this exponentially, but, I shall refrain. It is enough for my purposes here to say that Thomas Jefferson, as well as myself, are in total agreement on this next point. Thomas Jefferson energetically and enthusiastically disagreed with this appeasement foolishness. In studying, in being there and learning from what he witnessed he concluded that "Thru the medium of war" the appeasement, pirating, and general criminal conduct of the Muslim nations would end. Further, he believed no other act would sustain such an outcome. This, in that only in a state of defeat can the Muslim world blend with the rest of the world. This is by their own hand. They are promised that if they die in battle they are going to be guaranteed a place in paradise. In view of that, what incentive do they have to remain alive, and, further, how do they even learn to win if death is the desired outcome. That leaves them as terrorists, bombers, killers of innocents. There is glory in any act that exterminates infidels. It is religiously indoctrinated into their heads. Thomas Jefferson did glean information. He did so in some part from the very book Keith Ellison swore in on.

In 1786 Jefferson was the US Ambassador to France, John Adams was the Ambassador to Great Britain. They met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja who was the Ambassador to Britain from the Dey of Algiers. The Americans wished to negotiate a peace treaty with the appeasement conclusion as its basis. In other words, they were going to pay nations for protection from their own citizens while in international waters of the Mediterranean.

While in conference, when asked why Muslims held egregious sentiments of hostility towards a new nation with which they had experienced no history with, he answered saying that Islam was "...founded on the laws of their Prophet (Muhammad); and that it was written in the Koran that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners; that it was therefore their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found; and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners; and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to paradise".

America catered to, and cow-towed to the appeasement philosophy for fifteen years. It cost millions of dollars as huge sums were levied and paid to release American citizens held captive.

In 1801 Jefferson was inaugurated as President of the United States. Following this he sent a fleet of frigates to the Mediterranean in defense of American interests and to insert homegrown security to Americans in the area. In so doing, Jefferson declared 'We may spend millions on defense, but we will spend not one penny for tribute". To further impress the issue, Jefferson also sent United States Marines to the Barbary Coast.

The word "Barbary" has taken on an almost nostalgic aura in the United States. In truth, there was nothing romantic about it. The general disregard for the sanctity of non-Muslims by the Islamic people of the Barbary Coast was anything but romantic. The horror ravaged upon the non-Muslims by the pirates was nothing less than a nightmare. They practiced eunuch surgery as eunuchs brought higher bids on the slaver's auction blocks-many of the victims of such barbaric "surgeries" did not survive the surgery.

Children and young women were taken and the young women you need not press your imagination hard to discover the truth of that yourself. Similar trade is still conducted today by Islamic men in Turkey and Iraq and elsewhere in the Muslim lands. However, today the men will trade a female family member for their debt to be a concubine or a version of a prostitute in houses where women are not allowed to go.

Jefferson sent the USS Constitution, the USS Philadelphia, the USS Constellation, the USS Philadelphia, USS Argus, USS Syren, USS Chesapeake, and the USS Intrepid. Each of these big sail ships saw action in the Mediterranean. A short time later, in 1805 the US Marines were sent across the dessert out of Egypt into Tripolitania. That place is known to us as Tripoli -hence the Marine song, "From the Halls of Moctezuma to the shores of Tripoli...", to fight their countries battles and they have done so valiantly. They forced the surrender of Tripoli and freed all Americans held there as slaves in 1805.

The Barbary Coast was crumbling as a result of the fury of the American bombardment from naval vessels and the mighty shore raids by US Marines. After some time in defeat, as Jefferson had predicted, the Barbary States finally agreed to abandon piracy. This time in US history lives on today in the lines of that Marine Hymn aforementioned, although, few know any longer why those words are there or what they mean. It lends a certain meaning to the adage, "From whence we came there too we go". The appeasement policy creates a never ending hunger and Jefferson soon recognized that the demands of madmen are incessant. He faced that threat and prevailed. In 1815 all the remaining Barbary Coast Pirates surrendered. It took its time, but appeasement could conceivably still be going on and costing us billions thru-out history had Jefferson not been the visionary that Ellison heralded him to be. He stood to the foe and learned its ways, The Koran, and defeated him.

Then, as we like to do here, we forgot. We forgot the whole event and each story died with the passing of the Troops who fought it. Jefferson had been correct. The "medium of war" was the only way to put an end to the Muslim problem. It was as if you went to your shopping center to buy goods and trade there; then as you enter the parking lot to go home the center you just traded in would demand further payment from you in order for you to return home safely. Then, the criminals you were being protected from were in fact the very residents of the center you just bought your goods from. It is so preposterous that it does not make sense to civil minds, but it is truth none-the-less.

It turns out Thomas Jefferson was right, and so is Keith Ellison, the new Muslim lawmaker we sent to Washington DC. Thomas Jefferson was a visionary. He saw the problem, studied the core of that problem in the Muslim Book Of Jihad and then dealt with that problem. May our new lawmaker remember that this is a nation founded upon a principal that Congress shall make NO law regarding the practice of religion or regulating the free excersize thereof. May we all remember that The words are "Freedom of Religion", they are not "freedom from religion".

In and for something we must stand or we will fall for anything.

Now you know some grains of truth regarding the "Personal Koran of Thomas Jefferson" that was theatrically used to swear in a person to which that Koran means we must "all" be prostrate to his prophet. If he does not see it that way then we must ask, to whom does he lie? Is it to his own self, or to the rest of us that he lies? He swore in on a book that teaches and demands that its proponents make war upon and kill all non-believers wherever the Muslim believer finds them.

Maybe the symbolism here is to direct us to look a little deeper and to learn more of what and how our fore-fathers really may feel about all that is happening. We must look, we must dig, we must not settle for what meets the eyes without effort. Far too many are counting on us not to seek truth. Seek it anyway and never accept only what you find palatable. Civilized orderly people cannot be trusted when they seek only what is palatable.
