Islamist Terrorists - The Islamic Christian Judaism Connection

Introduction

The Overall Purpose of this Blog is to generate awareness as to the underlying causes to what is the most serious problem facing our contemporary world. I personally am not a person of religious conviction. However I detest sac-religious behaviour and place a high value toward the world’s people living in peace. Peace really is an essential component toward us sharing the benefits of a global economy.

I asked myself, why I would publish on this subject when there are so many that would have substantially more knowledge than I in many of the subject areas covered. After all, my only relevant qualification stems from a fascination with our common history. In considering this I became aware that many people of faith would be inhibited by the constraints placed on them by their faiths conventions. I have also considered the issue of people so often commenting that the issues are complex and this may be due to the breadth of knowledge required and may place me at an advantage to many who possess much greater specialist knowledge in any one area

The overall direction herein is to set out the Blog in Point or Heading format so that I can return to elaborate on some or all points, time permitting. Offers to contribute to any section of the Blog will be given all due consideration. I am only the generalist

You will note that many parallels exist between the peoples of Western Europe and the Middle East as well as between Islam and Christianity. It is not my intention in any way to imply plagiarism on any person of History as I believe it more likely that these individuals derived these concepts of independent mind, or maybe at the inspiration of God. I have also included alternate words in brackets in many cases - for example. God (Ala) the Hebrew and Arabic derived words possessing the same literal meaning. The intention here is not to offend any person but simply draw out some of the many parallels that exist between cultures

The Prime Purpose is to Engender a Cense:

That the peoples of Western European background do have a profound obligation to assist the peoples of Middle Eastern background to put in place sound systems of Self Government that can manage their own Nations affairs and in particular borders

That this is also essential to the Security of other Nations and the facilitation of Free Trade

That despite many complexities (a saga of trust and betrayal) at the of end the day the Islamist is Ultimately Wrong

That we should be supportive of our National Leaders in this huge and complex task 

Significant Historical Events        

The Dividing of Gods (Alas) Children - The Sons of Abraham

Ishmael – The Inclusive Islamic Line (The Arabs)

There are varying accounts of this story that appear to result from the manner in which the story invites those who are 'Not of the Faith', to 'Read Between the Lines'. The following is my understanding of how it appears to those of the Faith by simply taking it for what it says    

Abraham and Haga (the Second Wife's) resolve in the first test of their 'Faith in Gods Will', as delivered from God through Sara (the First Wife) to Abraham to Haga, that the suckling child of Abraham and Haga Ishmael be sacrificed to God on an Alter where God intervened by turning the knife in Abrahams hand and providing a sacrificial Ram with its horns caught in a thicket bush for the sacrifice and Anointment of Ishmael. Abraham then returned Ishmael to Haga and reported 'Gods Will' that Ishmael is 'The Anointed One'      

Abraham and Hagas resolve in the second test of their 'Faith in Gods Will', as delivered from God again through Sara to Abraham to Haga, that Haga and Ishmael be left in a this barren place (Mecca) and 'God would Provide'. 'God did Provide' as predicted because Haga found water and the thirsting suckling child Ishmael recovered and His Line multiplied

Haga and Ishmaels’ decision to continued love and recognition of Abraham, Sara and the later Isaac and His Line

Isaac – The Exclusive Judo Christian Line (The Jews)

Abrahams’ decision, in this account, to declare Ishmaels’ Mother Haga a 'House Maiden to His Wife Sara'

Abrahams resolve in His test of ''Faith in Gods Will', as delivered direct from God, that the child Isaac be sacrificed to God on an Alter where God intervened and provided a sacrificial Ram with its horns caught in a thicket bush for the sacrifice and Anointment of Isaac as the 'Anointed One'

Sara and Isaacs’ apparent decision to de-recognise or exclude Haga and Ishmaels’ Line (Gods Chosen People). Note that in the other case Abraham, Isaac and perhaps Sara were 'Not Like That'

The Apparent negotiation of a Dual State arrangement by King David of Judea – In considering the Biblical Records reference to Duel State arrangements between the Jews and Palestinian People (Philistines) there does appear to be one reference

King David’s apparent negotiation of a Dual State arrangement in ‘Living Amongst the Philistines (Palestinian Peoples)’ prior to making His move for the Throne on the back of His popularity flowing from the slaying of the Giant Goliath    

The Apparent recognition of Ishmaels Line by King Solomon of Judea - Note: In considering the issue of the Biblical Records recognition of the Arabs I discovered a near to complete absence

King Solomon's recognition of a delegation led by a monarch or ephemeral nomarch or Queen of Sheba or 'single 25-circle'

The Story of the Birth and Early Childhood of Jesus of Nazareth - attached to the front of 2 of 4 translations of an Aramaic sourced document or The Biblical Gospels or Good News - Comment: I have never been sure of what to make of this story? In considering this my mind went to some gifts I own that include a silk scarf with authentic Chinese embroidery, a rice paper wand with authentic Chinese artwork and other items. I'm sorry - no help on the Nationality of the Delegations that presented these gifts to me   

Isaacs Line – Concealment from Isaacs’ line

Fear that the child Jesus of Nazareth was sent of God to be the King of the Jews

Order of the Incumbent King to slay all first born male children in an attempt to destroy the child Jesus of Nazareth           

Ishmaels Line – Discovery of the child despite concealment

In considering the later known position of the Prophet Mohammed perhaps the then belief that the child was the Special* Prophet born of the Seed of God to the Virgin Mary and the care of the Good Widower Joseph. Comment: In this case the brothers and sisters of Jesus of Nazareth become older step brothers and sisters from Josephs’ prior marriage and the Pure Vessel Theology is maintained, the Ascension of Jesus of Nazareth is also retained but the Crucifixion and Resurrection are dispensed with (The Blood of the Lamb)

*Special - is used here to mean the Prophet that resulted from the 'Immaculate Conception' and is therefore not of the line Adam or is 'Free of Sin' or like Adam was created of God and 'Not Born in a State of Sin' but unlike Adam did not yield to temptation and Sin.

Payment of homage or respect

Presentation of the gift of gold (cash) and the homeland produced and perhaps traditional gifts of frankincense and myrrh or 'double bulls-eye'. Note: In this case the familiar artists’ depictions of this delegation in terms of dress and method of transit (camel) become typical

Apparently in an obsession to travel from near to due East in a straight line they appear to have forgotten the detour Northward to include the Magi with their Persian rugs?

The Teachings of Paul of Tarsus or Saint Paul

The Reduction of Exclusivity with the Western Christian Return to the - 'We are All Gods (Alas) Children' Theology in this case via a Jews and Gentiles rational - consistent with the Prophet Ishmael

The Dividing of Islam following the Assent of the Prophet Mohammed - Note also the Prophets reinforcement of Peace "We should live in Peace with the Jews"

            The Prophet Mohammed's Natural Successor or Supreme Imam – The Shia

            The 'Put no other God before Me for I am a Jealous God' Purists – The Sunni

The Invasions of Saladin – The Capture of Jerusalem

Right of Self Rule - with the Dispensation of the Rule and Courts of the Clerics or Campaigners or Knights Templar

            Secularism – Separation of Religion and State

Freedom of Religion - The Allocation of Rights of Practice in this case via a complex set of rules. Note the recent observances of these rules by President Yasser Arafat (Deceased) and Pope John Paul II (Deceased or perhaps 'Blessed Amongst God') relating to the performance of the Christmas Mass in the Church of the Holy Nativity in Jerusalem

Chivalry – The bestowing of the title ‘The Lion Heart’ on His honourable and formidable rival King Richard of England. Note the title was accepted

The Seven Key Elements of the Protestant Reformation – The Teachings of Martin Luther

The Two Key Elements of Martin Luther’s Teachings that retained Protestant consistency with the teachings of the Pontiffs

The Retention of the Biblical Canon including the 'Gods Inspired Word' or perhaps extension of the 'Infallible Scriptures' Theology

The Retention of the Trinity Theology inclusive of the 'Incarnate One' (Pharaoh) Theology

The Five Key Elements of Martin Luther’s teachings that achieved Protestant consistency with the teachings, through the Prophet Moses, the Prophet Mohammad and Saladin, with Sunni Islam

Secularism – The Separation of Religion and State or Church and State as He put it

The Reduction of Exclusivity with the Dispensation of the 'Gods Appointed Representatives on Earth’ Theology or the 'Natural Successor of the Disciple Simon Peter' Theology by in this case Recognising God (Ala) as the 'Singular Head of the One Church' Theology

The Return to the 'Direct Communion with God (Ala) through Prayer' Theology -  in this case drawn from the Bible through the ‘Blood of the Lamb path to Salvation'  Theology or the 'For God so Loved the World that He gave His Only Begotten Son to Attorn our Sins' Theology

The Return to 'All Being Equal in the Eyes of God (Ala)' Theology with the Dispensation of the 'Blessed Amongst God' or Sainthood Theology

The Further Reduction of Idolatry and Further Return to the 'Put no other God before Me for I am a Jealous God' Theology with the Dispensation of the Semi Deification and Worship of Mary Mother of Jesus of Nazareth Theology or Semi Deification and Worship of the 'Mother and Nurturer' (Isis) of the 'Incarnate One' (Pharaoh) Theology 

The Development of the Constitution of the United States of America (USA)

             Right of Self Rule – Consistent with Saladin

Secularism – Consistent with Saladin, Martin Luther, Sunni Islam and Protestant Christianity

Freedom of Religion - The Allocation of Rights of Practice in this case via a Registration process - Consistent with Saladin and Sunni Islam

The First (or perhaps Second) Great Betrayal - The Betrayal of the ‘Imperialists’ - The British

The Abandonment of Chivalry with the Introduction of Terrorism as an Acceptable form of Warfare by Laurance of Arabia

Laurence of Arabia’s Betrayal of the 'House of Saud' to British ‘Imperialists’ Rule

The Second (or perhaps Third) Great Betrayal - The Betrayal of the ‘Americans’ – The USA and its Allies

The abandonment of the Advocate for 'Right of Self Rule', Secularism, 'Freedom of Religious Practice' and Peace President Yasser Arafat (Deceased) and the Palestinian people (Philistines) to support of Zionist Judaism based Apartheid Rule through 'Cheque Book Diplomacy' or the apportionment of Foreign Aid in a manner that pre-determines military supremacy to one or other recipient. Note: The Birth Place of 'Right of Self Rule', Secularism (Separation of Religion and State) and 'Freedom of Religious Practice'

Zionism (Seekers of the Land of Refuge) is simply Histories Repetitive Product of a Peoples’ that have been subjected to a Pattern of Repetitive Episodes of Extreme Persecution. Note they did not think of it even in the wake of the Spanish Inquisition 

Histories Repetitive motive of the Zionist is to put in a place a solution looking forward. However the solution Repetitively becomes the greater problem and therefore is Repetitively the wrong solution. Note that Zionists Repetitively turn from Zionism of their own accord after two to three generations. Incidentally Semitic is simply a term of linguists that refers to a group of languages including Ancient Egyptian and Hebrew

The Third (or perhaps Fourth) Great Betrayal: The Betrayal of the ‘Capitalists’ (perhaps for want of a clearer motive) - The ‘Americans’ again

The USA and its Allies Betrayal of the Secularists to the Rule and Courts of the Clerics (Inquisitors). The Western European style Inquisition that some will do all in their power to resist. "This is the Islamist" - Not completely irrational individuals such as Osama Bin Ladin (Deceased) or Charles Manson (a typical American? - 'The Nation or Alliance of the Sword'?)   

The Ultimate Call of the 'Non Clerics' of the Roman Catholic (Parishioners) and Shia Faiths - Representational Government (Democracy)

Right of Self Rule - with Acceptance of the Principal of 'Rule of State Law' which is Invariably Fallible

Secularism – Separation of Religion and State with the Abandonment of the Rule and Courts of the Clerics (Inquisitors)

Freedom of Religion - With the Call for Rights of Practice irrespective of their majority or minority status within a particular States Borders

Proper Care and Control of Imbuement

And it Works when 'Given a Chance'  

The Power of Imbuement

In considering the subject of Imbuement I did not know where to start so I thought to 'Run to My Mummy' (a Protestant Cleric) for help, but then remembered the actual words of those many Women Parishioners of the Catholic Faith who almost invariably said of Her that it was when Living that She was a Saint or 'Blessed Amongst God' or "She is a Living Saint". It seems that Imbuement often requires little or no Theological Rigor for those of the Catholic and Shia Faiths

We only have to look to the most Fallible of all areas related to the Principal of 'Rule of State Law' - offcourse Divorce related Law to see how a lack of due care in the proper control of Imbuement achieved nothing more than to 'Hurt the Most' those who are Sincerest of the Faith loyal to the Pontiffs. Lack of due care and control of Imbuement invariably 'Recoils' on the faithful. It is here that we, and in particular the Imbued Shia, even though no formal Infallibility exists in this case, should carefully consider the potential for ramifications on those of the Shia Faith that reside in States where they are in a minority and surely also deserve 'Freedom of Religious Practice'          

Final Comment

I had no intention in the drafting of this Blog to point in favour of any of the ‘Sides’ – but when looking back over it I appear to have pointed toward the ‘Side’ that always said that it is One God, One Religion and that We are all God’s Children irrespective of our precision of Theological Rigor anyway. Here is my suggested insertion of Ancient Egyptian Theology “There is Nothing Wrong with a Simple Faith”

Australia’s GST VAT Consumption Tax Mess

In this blog I will first set out, in brief, the economic rational for the development of the GST (Goods and Services Tax), then based on that economic rational set out a clear definition of a GST and a VAT (Value Added Tax). In future blogs I will address other issues and invite discussion on ways to resolve our mess.

Economic Rational

The economic rational for the development of the GST was to design a new type of consumption tax that would firstly replace all anomalous and discriminatory consumption taxes such as excise and sales taxes, secondly displace some of the burden from income taxes (Still sounds like a VAT) and thirdly to collect that tax in the most economically efficient way possible (it's no longer a VAT).

Definition

A GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a singular indiscriminate consumption tax that is collected at the point of sale to the consumer.

A VAT (Value Added Tax) is a singular indiscriminate consumption tax that is collected at each point along the supply line.          

This GST is the consumption tax that Prime Minister John Howard presented for Mandate to the Australian Electorate to be applied at the rate of 10% with the sole amendment being the removal of food items. Yes - I will now move on from kicking the buts of Public Servants who may only be getting caught red handed at the coal face doing no more or less than the Boss demands.

Consider Points

A GST will tax imports but not exports.

A VAT will tax imports and some exports and in many cases will duplicate. Consider an item that was manufactured and sold to a wholesaler in the UK, then sold to a retailer in Australia and then sold to a customer in New Zealand; and the primary producers, manufacturer, wholesalers and retailers still have the book keeping to pay for. Is this the creation of a new industry protection scheme?

A GST will not discriminate in relation to the Book Keeping Industry 'Tax Agents and Professionals'.

A VAT will discriminate heavily in favour of the Book Keeping Industry to the extent of becoming a Industry Protection Scheme. Particularly where compliance is attempted.

A GST will not discriminate in relation to the Postal Industry.

A VAT will discriminate heavily against the Postal Industry. Particularly where compliance is attempted.

A GST presents the most economically efficient way to collect a consumption tax.

A VAT is the most economically inefficient way to collect a consumption tax as it will place a substantial administrative burden on all branches of industry, in particular the postal service providers where compliance is attempted, which will flow on to effect all Australians.  

Both a GST and VAT will improve the 'mood' of international monetarists ratings organizations.        

In Australia's case a 10% GST, with food excluded, would only be sufficient to remove the anomalous and discriminatory consumption taxes therefore leaving around 0% for income tax displacement. So why the 'mood' effect? Why has our floating currency shifted from undervalued to overvalued?    

Australia’s GST VAT Consumption Tax Mess

I have become increasingly aware that a great amount of confusion is being experienced by the Australian Public, in particular Australian Industry and the ACS (Australian Customs Service) by the manner in which the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) has implemented our consumption tax. The ATO, at best, appear to be unaware that a VAT (Value Added Tax) and a GST (Goods and Services Tax) are substantially different in that a VAT is collected along the supply line whilst a GST is a sole and indiscriminate consumption tax that is collected only once at the point of sale to the consumer. I had never guessed that this knowledge was so exclusive. Whilst a VAT and GST are similar to the extent of both being a form of consumption tax, as opposed to an income tax, a VAT is the most administratively burdensome and hence inefficient tax that could be placed on a nations industry and hence public. A GST on the other hand is a far more administratively efficient tax, although the merits of any form of consumption tax are becoming increasingly challenged by economic globalization and ecommerce. 

It was my simple understanding that the Australian Electorate gave the Federal Government a Mandate for a 10% GST with the sole amendment being the removal of food items from this sole and indiscriminate consumption tax. I seem also to recall that a great deal of nervousness was being expressed by the Electorate that this GST could in some way turn out to have all of the negative features of a VAT via some hidden slight of hand trick. 

To add to this confusion the ATO are advising people, including other agencies such as the ACS, that fledgling businesses only enjoy the statutory right to a period of grace before registering an ABN (Australian Business Number) at the grace of the ATO. Evidence of this conduct on the part of the ATO is available on the ATO website. If you take the time to review the Department of Internal Revenue of the United States of America website you may find as I did that they appear to make every effort to be informative and understandable to the common person. To agree with my conclusion you may need to consider an adjustment of scale.

My first real concern as to the activities of the ATO arose whilst reviewing an Australian wholesale supplier that claimed a requirement to collect a so called GST component to wholesale value (in other words a VAT) from Australian retailers. My first reaction was to deeply suspect the Australian wholesale supplier’s motives. However, after spending some time reviewing the ATO website I discovered a non-menu linked page, apparently meant to be available to Tax Agents or Professionals and those that have the time and skill to track down non-menu linked pages only, that clearly stated that the GST is to be applied along the supply line (if it barks it’s a feline?). The implication of this is that Australian wholesale suppliers are collecting a so called GST from Australian retailers without knowledge of the final customers country of residence - in other words a tax on exports. The retailer would then be placed in the position of seeking the ATO's grace on a refund of the so called GST.

I have direct knowledge of a case where an Australian was inappropriately caused to pay around $AU 1,000.00 for so called GST payments on so called imports by the ACS, incidentally the affective rate was around 18.5% assuming it to be a VAT, without a receipt or acknowledgement of any form - just two yellow stickers attached with one saying 'Hold -Entry Required' and another saying 'Clear'. It was simply put to this individual to pay this money for the apparent purpose of saving face for Australia. Apparently to avoid the alternative 'send it back to the supplier with not known at this address and demand a refund'.  The ACS later attempted to justify this behaviour by providing, through the goodness of a postal service provider, an explanation that claimed that it was a 10% GST plus Customs Duties (another form of consumption tax) as well as Fees for Service for this inappropriate interference with mail articles - simply put - a confession on the the part of the ACS to blatant consumption tax double dipping; which by incidence amounted to an affective VAT of 18.5%. Is this Australian meant to pass this on to Australian customers and what about O/S customers or again be required to protect Australia's reputation by absorbing it – Yes! it is a tax on exports once again. Is it this Australian's role and responsibility to defend Australia’s credibility in the global environment in this way whilst the ATO and ACS appear to not care. It begs the question - how many other Australians have been inflicted with this nonsense?

It raises a number of more serious questions:

Does the ATO and other Federal Government Agencies such as the ACS have any legitimate basis to be applying this so called GST in its current form? Can the ATO furnish evidence of any  instrument issued by an Elected Australian Government that approves the application of a VAT or anything remotely related to the current consumption tax being applied by the ATO and other Federal Government Agencies? and do these Agencies have any legitimate basis to be applying this confessed consumption tax double dipping approach to arrive at an applied VAT of 18.5%? Can the ATO furnish any instrument issued by an Elected Australian Government that places the Determination of Australia's Fiscal Policy with the ATO?  

Should the ACS be exchanging information and cooperating with other Federal Government Agencies in this way or should the ACS focus on their own functions to protect our borders? Are Customs Offices being appropriately advised by the ATO and do they enjoy the protection of a Statutory Office Holder such as the Commissioner of Taxation in their activities?

If it is the ATO's aim to monitor ecommerce is it not then encumbered with finding legitimate and more sophisticated methods? - perhaps the ATO could rely on our sniffer dogs or some other member of our marsupial species?

Are we required to visit a Tax Agent or Professional and simply ask - what are my obligations to and how much do I owe the ATO? Can the ATO furnish evidence of any instrument issued by an Elected Australian Government that approves the creation of a protected industry on the part of the ATO?

How many Australians feel their privacy or other rights have been abused? How many Australians have trusted the ATO with openness and honesty simply to have there fingers burnt? Should Australians simply just accept that famous old Oz Icon 'Just Macho’s' point of view and say “There’s nothing you can do about it anyway", alternatively the good old Oz Icon 'Clever Dick's' point of view "Get Legal Advice" or is it time to start demanding honest and forthright answers?
