“Compte amb el sexe! Sempre hi és present,
però encara és mal vist parlar-ne amb claredat,
més val mentalitzar-se, verb de moda,
i convertir-lo, com a les revistes
del cor, en un lligam sentimental.
No oblidessis l'adreça convinguda.
Posa la data, signa i no et descuidis
de repetir profusament t'estimo.”

“COMPTE! No reveleu mai allò que us penseu ser. Resulta perillós. Perquè els altres podran contrastar-hi el que realment sou, i la comparança us serà inflexiblement desfavorable.”

A Call For The Overthrow Of The World Government!
I, Compton Gage, CALL on world believers of righteousness to wage 'all-out war' on the World Government, the infidels...
Jihad is obligatory, not only for the Muslims!
All world believers of righteousness are required to pledge allegiance to Allah!
World believers of righteousness must fight the enemies of Allah through uncompromising...
I urge the believers to fight; if there be of you twenty steadfast, they shall overcome two hundred; and if there be of you a hundred, they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve-
O you who believe, fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you and let them find firmness in you. And know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.
Behold, if you are in doubt as to my religion, (know that) I serve not those whom you serve besides Allah, but I serve Allah who causes you to die; and I am commanded to be of the believers-
Seest thou not those who change Allah's favour for disbelief and make their people to alight in the abode of perdition-
And those who flee for Allah's sake after they are oppressed, We shall certainly give them a good abode in the world; and the reward of the Hereafter is much greater...
And on the day when We raise up a witness out of every nation, then permission (to offer excuse) will not be allowed to make amends.
I exhort you only to one thing, that you rise up for Allah's sake by twos and simply; then ponder! There is no madness in your companion. He is only a warner to you before a severe chastisement.
We have adorned the lower heaven with an adornment, the star- They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are reproached from every side.
And whoever turns himself away from remembrance of the Beneficent, We appoint for him a devil so he is his associate.
They are times appointed for men, and (for) the pilgrimage. And it is not righteousness that you enter the house by their backs but he is righteous who keeps his duty. And go into the houses by their doors; and keep your duty to Allah, that you may be successful.
And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you but be not aggressive. Surely Allah loves not the aggressors.
Fight not with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it; So if they fight you (in it), slay them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
And fight them until there is no persecution, religion is only for Allah. But if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.
Death, man must face...
... death does not bring the life of a man to an end; it only opens the door to a higher form of life.
Just as from dust is evolved the man, from the deeds which he does is evolved the higher man.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy...! I will strengthen thee; yea; I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteouness; Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be confounded; they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish...
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this!
I give unto you power to tread on evil and over all the power of the devil, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
I come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Kill Them All!

“Compton Gage, a Spiritual breed faction who seeks to restore early days of glory through Spiritual Warfare, a holy war directed against internal and external enemies both physical and spiritual.
The perspective and movement focuses on religious studies and the winning of hearts and minds (da‘wah) as a way of creating a Holy society rule by the New World Order law.
From Compton Gage’s perspective, humankind must strive to disseminate and implement Allah in all areas of life by liberating the lands on planet earth from other cultures through the holy war, which is perceived as the personal duty (fard ‘ayn) of every human being. "Thus we must fight the enemies of the world through the Holy Book and uncompromising military struggle."
Moreover, according to the Conflict with demonic strongholds and moral deception that require spiritual weaponry and armor perception, its enemies are not only external, but also other regimes that cooperate with the unbelievers, evildoers, or secular Arab/African/Western regimes that are considered “infidel.” Therefore, according to Compton Gage, the Holy Book religious law justifies overthrowing them.”
“Compton Mackenzie, who is getting quite Scotch (probably from now living so near Glenlivet), gave [Sunset Song] a column in the Daily Mail. The Mail! Oh Goddelpus! I as a good anarcho-communist shrivel up internally.”

“Compulsion in the literal Sense is maliciously misrepresented, by supposing it authorizes Violences committed against the Truth. The Answer to this; by which it is prov'd, that the literal Sense does in reality authorize the stirring up Persecutions against the Cause of Truth, and that an erroneous Conscience has the same Rights as an enlighten'd Conscience.”

“Compulsion – nonconsensual education – requires violence; it requires complete control over what students put into their brain, the people they are exposed to, the places they are authorized to be, and oftentimes, with free lunch programs, what food goes into their body. Compulsory systems are resentful of families who do not enforce homework or dress code policies; are reluctant to allow parents into its buildings except once or twice a year on special “open house” days; and fear parents who choose to homeschool.”
