Let us, as Americans, be humble, kind, considerate, and respectful of one another, and of others. Regardless of conditions or circumstances, we can choose “uncompromising integrity” (tummah).
Today is the first day of Muharram,[1] the first month in the Islamic calendar, “a time of mourning and peace,”[1:1] “in which fighting has been forbidden since before the advent of Islam”.[2]
However, let us not be naive in believing that Machiavellians in our midst are equally as reverent and wouldn’t sieze the ‘opportunity of crisis’ to use the Kitson counter-gang within the Gladio archipelago to provoke a Strategy of Tension episode.
May we choose to maintain our own “uncompromising integrity”, regardless of provocations, conditions, circumstances, or what others choose that may be contrary.
What, but good, can come of that…?
