Joy is Kamala Harris NOT being president of the United States


It's a double joy for Iranian civilians

Now to the original starting point of this post:

Very recently ago, the anti-Catholic, pro-sexual-pervert Border Czar who wasted $1.4 BILLION campaign donation dollars in 107 days expressly said that she is 100% against the Iranian  War.  She spoke this, as if anything she says matters.  

Kamala Harris just told America that she is against the Liberation of the Persian People who were oppressed by terrorists, for the past 47 years.  She is against the war that the United States is winning in a historically victorious routing. 

A DEI Hire is guaranteed to be the most sophomoric & incompetent buffoon available

Biden only hired Harris because she was female and claimed to be Black, even though her dad told humanity that she was 1/4 white and a descendant of slave OWNERS.  She constitutes a DEI-hire, because she was only hired for gender and race.  It resulted in the single most incompetent vice president in United States history, with no exceptions in the list.

Concerning Kamala coming off as the voice of the Democrat Party, the irony is that Kamala Harris needed someone from Australia to write her book for her.  Thus, it's reasonable to conclude that, whatever she says, it's from a ghost writer ... or a speech writer.  Thus, with Kamala, there is zero creativity and zero innovation.

Kamala did not give on-the-spot & off-the-cuff interviews.  Meanwhile, Trump does so daily.  In the language spoken in Kamala's high school hometown of Montreal, speaking on the spot is known as sur le vif.  Well, Kamala could not do such a thing in French or English.  However, Marco the Rubio can do so in Spanish and English. 

Meanwhile, the Iranian Navy lies at the bottom of the Arabian Sea and even at the bottom of the Indian Ocean

This war had a Dominoes Effect that severely affected China's government planning.  This is because the Liberation of Iran, as well as the Liberation of Venezuela, proved how pathetically incompetent are the Chinese Communist air defense systems that were supposed to shoot down American and Israeli aircraft, at ease.  The Chinese learned that they now have to "play nice" with the Americans.  

None the less, the DEI-hire vice president 1] who PUBLICLY DENIED THE TRUTH of Joe Biden's obvious mental incapacity, and 2] who did not know the obvious difference between North and South Korea:

... didn't realize that she is totally in favor of the murderous regime of Iran having 11 nuclear missiles, from their 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium.  Keeping weapons of indiscriminate destruction out of the hands of indiscriminate mass murderers is Necessity #1, for all of humanity.  

Kamala is why 77.3 MILLION registered voters made sure to cast their votes against her, in 2024.  In fact, it was her Munich 2022 speech which served as the Last Straw for Russia, as Kamala ... the Physical Runt & Mental Runt ... attempted to intimidate Russia into backing-down from NATO's presence near the Ukraine.  

Five days later, Russia did the opposite of backing down.  Russia invaded the Ukraine.  Kamala was too stupid to know that she should have never given that particular speech.  She apparently didn't realize that the Ukraine was not a NATO member.

Of course, Kamala took the definition of Political Whore to a new level.  Simultaneously, Willie Brown brought the Hollywood Casting Couch into California Politics.

Numbers

After the first week of fighting in the Ukraine, as of March 2022, 5,937 Russians were reported as having been killed.  After the first week of Operation Epic Fury, in 2026, only SIX United States service men were killed.  Thus, for every 989 Russians who died in the first week of the Ukraine/Russian war, approximately one American died in Operation Epic Fury.

Each American death was due to the same one lucky drone strike upon Port Shuaiba, in Kuwait.  Incidentally, on March 3rd, five USA service men were wounded in Kuwait, on account of another drone strike.  None the less, the dictatorial Iranian regime endured massive damage and casualties in the same time span.

Moreover, ZERO Israeli service men died during the first week of Operation Epic Fury.


Bye Bye Bunker Time

At present, the 2026 Iran War is now at its Sledgehammer phase, where the less expensive B-52s take center stage, high in the sky.  You can call it the Pulverizing Phase.  

Of course, the B-2 bombers will continue to bring in the penetrators, as in underground bunker penetration.  The ballistic missile production facilities of Iran will be targeted.  This is because they absolutely have to go, lest the murderous mindset of Khamenei 1979 will rise again and start rearming its new crew of killers, attacking all the more unarmed civilians.

1] Compared to a B-1b bomber, a B-52 bombing flight is half price.

2] Meanwhile, the B-52H can carry up to 70,000 lbs of munitions.

3] A B1-b Lancer can carry up to 75,000 lbs of payload.

4] 40,000 lbs is a B-2's max payload, and it can carry 16 B-83 nukes.
✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈
5] The irony is that Iran bragged about having enough enriched uranium to make a grand total of 11 nukes.   Well, the USA already has 3,700 OPERATIONAL NUKES, ready to go.
 
6] The B-83 is the USA's most powerful nuke, at 1.2 megatons.

In retrospect, if you think that Kamala Harris is a politician for the People and with the People, think again.  She has lived in luxury.  No sacrificial suffering there.  She did NOT suffer from the inflation which you endured, even though she is the one who caused it to happen, due to two specific tie-breaker votes of hers, in the US Senate.

Plus, Kamala has no known aesthetic talents or ascetic discipline, and thusly, no wisdom from her has been witnessed.  Only abusive outlashing upon her employees has been observed, as well as her mocking those American Protestants who publicly announced, "Jesus is Lord."  

Oh, and Kamala also spit in the face of the 2,000 year old Catholic Church known for its many charity organizations and who preserved the complete Biblical text, through the penmanship of its many European monks, throughout the centuries.  I've already explained that aspect of her.  

Also observed was Kamala being with Willie Brown in public, as if she were advertising herself, in order to gain prestige and future votes.   

Kamala is merely 1] an airhead,  2] a political opportunist, and 3] a narcissist, in my private citizen's public opinion of her.  Such a publicly-stated opinion is protected in the USA, under NY Times v Sullivan, 376 US 254 (1964.).  

A private citizen's opinion of her is protected, because Kamala is a public figure.  She was a career politician who held office for 20 consecutive years ... four specific offices, to be exact, namely 1] county DA, 2] state AG, 3] US senator, and 4] vice president.  

In as much, she was severely lying in 2024, when she presented herself as the new face of politics, while presenting Businessman Donald Trump as a long-term, old-had politician who never held a political seat until 2016, far late in the proverbial game. 

President Narco-Terrorist Defendant

Also in her great asininity was Kamala speaking out about the high tech capture of Maduro, where not a single American was killed.  It was an expedition of meticulous detail and hard work, as well as great risk.  

Then, after Americans did the near-impossible, Kamala simply said that we should send the publicly known criminal, Maduro, back to Venezuela ... after all that work.  

The supreme asininity of this is that Maduro had an outstanding grand jury warrant for his arrest.  Yet, former DA & AG Harris acted as if an arrest warrant is nothing.  Everything she did as DA & AG was based on arrest warrants or immediate probable cause.  Does she know what she's saying when she speaks?  She's beyond an airhead.

The recent statement of Kamala is a blatant sign of Moral Incapacity which is a trait of narcissists.  After all, Kamala was NOT speaking for the welfare of the overly oppressed & equally imperiled Venezuelan People.  She simply wants Maduro to send even more illegal immigrants to the United States.  

She wants illegal immigrants to be granted Instant Amnesty, by which they will all become registered Democrats, and then vote her into the White House, in 2028 or 2032.  Narcissists don't give-up their strive for the highest position of power most available to them.

Kamala should be court-ordered to psychiatric observation, followed by psychiatric evaluation.  If you promote her, you should be court-ordered to psychiatric observation, too.

Q:  What is Joy?  ANS:  Joy is Kamala Not Being President

Now remember, a picture ... a photo ... is worth a thousand words, and as we can now see, KAMALA HARRIS IS AN ENEMY OF THE PERSIAN PEOPLE & THE VENEZUALEAN PEOPLE.  Putting her in power makes her a danger to society.

Now think.  If Kamala had won the 2024 presidential election, the photos below would not exist.  But of course, Kamala was the first presidential nominee in 92 years who FAILED to flip a single county throughout the United States.  

Plus, every single state in the Union shifted red, meaning that more votes for the Republican nominee were cast in 2024 than in 2020, in every state.  

All in all, the looks of celebration and the signs expressing gratitude shown below were due to the managerial abilities of businessman Donald Trump.  It turns out that it has been the career politicians who have been the existential threat to democracy, all along.  They still are.


If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.

If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, those two photos would not exist.

If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.
If Kamala Harris had managed to win the 2024 presidential election, the photos above & below would not exist.  A New York City slicker caused that to happen.  A businessman procured the outcome that resulted in the photo below.

Below:  Venezuela News Celebration.  Now, that's happiness.  According to that which Kamala recently said, she would have kept Maduro in power, in Venezuela, leaving the Venezuela People imprisoned and incapable of feeling any joy.  

Yes, Kamala's idea of a 2024 "Joy Campaign" was the predictable politician's lie.  It was Donald Trump who brought joy to the Venezuelan People.  NOT Kamala.    
If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.

Kamala said that Trump needs to send Maduro back to Venezuela, ASAP.  I have a better idea.  Let' send Kamala to Venezuela, instead.  Everyone there can tell her how evil life was in Venezuela, while she lived in luxury, at One Observatory Circle, Washington DC  20008.

If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.

Below:  Due to the steeple in the background, this is obviously Philadelphia, the land of the US Constitution.  The capture of Maduro, the Big Bad Wolf, is happiness to a Venezuelan.  

Kamala made herself the asinine buffoon of the year, by condemning the American military operation which brought relief to Venezuelan People.  Kamala did NOTHING to help Venezuela become a free land, during her fours years as VP.  
If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.

Now remember, the pro-democrat mainstream media tried hard to down-play the victory in Venezuela, even to the point of trying to make it look like an American crime.  

Below is the present NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER, in one facial expression which shows humanity that the mainstream media presented the Venezuelan news in a very false & defamatory light.  The American media is simply a propaganda machine, much like the one the Nazis had and one that the USSR had.  

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris had nothing to do with procuring this happiness.  Neither did the table talkers of the View nor Rachel Maddow nor numerous democrats who do nothing but lie and have amazing returns on their Wall Street stock investments.

If Kamala Harris were president of the United States, this photo would not exist.

An about-the-author page would dispel any prejudice, disrespect, or distrust

© Patrick Anthony Pontillo 
The reason for the creation of the Blue Marble Album was this:   Americans were being hideously deceived by power grabbers who obviously thought that Americans were the most stupid and gullible people on Earth.  A prime example was seen in the majority of Americans believing in the non-existent Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.  And of course, this was not the only con game orchestrated by Americans in political and/or financial and/or societal power.  

The con games done by unconscionable career politicians, activists, and arrogant journalists were such an insult to the intelligence of one Pennsylvania native that the deceptiveness called for a response.  Eventually, he would include numerous pieces of photocopied evidence, to support his assertions and declaratory statements in over three hundred writings.  Doing such a thing is equivalent to warning the People of the wolves in their midst.

A lot of such work is found at this site:     https://www.bluemarblealbum.com

Now, the author of this site was a whistle blower more than once, and he paid heavily for it.  This includes him enduring the trashing of his reputation and in him being completely shut-off by those influential powers that be.  This included threats of physical violence,  as well as one actual attempt at very physical violence, done in front of the property owner where the failed attempt was made.  This whistle blower retaliation even included threats to his car.   

An instance of the Blue Marble Album author being a whistle blower who was abandoned & isolated after retaliation is here:

https://www.donaldwuerl.com/2013/06/torquato.html

For the record, Donald Wuerl is now a retired corrupt & unrepentant bishop who became a very corrupt & unrepentant cardinal, during the reign of Nazi Pope Benedict XVI.  Benedict's papacy was the epitome of corruption, as was proven to have been the case, by his butler handing over evidence to certain journalists.   

The media originally made Donald Wuerl out to be the most holy cleric in America, in a long-term propaganda ploy.  However, a 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report revealed how corrupt this Donald Wuerl actually was.  The Grand Jury Inquest occurred under the supervision of former AG and present governor Josh Shapiro.  For now, let's continue with the original purpose of this particular post ...

... and, let's use photocopies to introduce or reintroduce the author of the Blue Marble Album.

Below: an Honors Society yearbook photocopy of a Catholic college, in 1983.  After his attendance at the Univ of Tampa ... where Patrick Anthony Pontillo ended-up being published in anthology form ... at the age of 20 ... along side national book award winners, a Walt Whitman Award winner, and other laureates ...  he enrolled at a Pennsylvania college where he was taught by one of JFK's former economic advisors.

Concerning the 1983 photo below, the Blue Marble Album author, Patrick Anthony Pontillo, is the one in the checkered flannel shirt, standing in the second row, next to the Clark Kent look-alike.  

 Above:  As far as goes Patrick's status at the time of the photo, he was a first semester senior during finals week.  So, you cannot deny that he was at the top ... at the very top five or so ... of his class.   All the people in that photo had at least a 3.5 gpa. 

One more pertinent note:  In 1983 Patrick was also inducted into the Phi Sigma Iota Language Honors Fraternity, for exceptional achievement in languages ... well you know the rest.  Incidentally, the chapter which inducted him was the Iota Iota chapter. 

As an added note, while at the Catholic college there, during the year prior, Patrick scored a 100% on a national, standardized accounting exam authored by Harvard University.

In fact, the first anthology in which Patrick was ever published sits on a Harvard University library shelf today, as well as on a Northwestern Univ book shelf, and at other college libraries.  So, he has proven himself to have been able to keep pace with the Ivy League.  And you wonder if you should spend time reading his writings?  

His writings contain a lot of charts, graphs, newspaper photocopies, and similar pieces of evidence, to prove the validity of his assertions and declaratory statements.  If you don't want to read his writings, then at least look at all the illustrations.  If you do not want to read the historic newspaper photocopies he posted, then at least read their headlines and sub-headlines.

In addition, Patrick later became a member of the International High IQ Society which is a good additive.  But on its own, it's not worth anything.  With a National Honors Society membership and a Phi Sigma Iota membership, an IHIQS membership becomes a confirmation that you're not dealing with sophomoric chump change, in terms of apprehending subject matter, comprehending the meaning of the subject matter, and then applying a rhythm to cognizance, while developing thought processes in sequences, and conveying the subject matter as if to be showing a movie ... or as if to be taking you through a proverbial Time Machine.

Lineage

It's acknowledged that many an American has a distrust of Hispanics.  This is understood, even as to why this is so, as in violent gangs and the drug trade.  Well, Patrick's last name almost matches a former president of Mexico.  So, he sounds very Latin American.  While in Florida, he was often assumed to be from Central America, until he was heard speaking in his northeastern American accent.

The truth is that Patrick's paternal grandparents came from the Mount Vesuvius part of Italy --- Benevento & Avellino --- near Naples.  In fact, Patrick is part Northern Italian, also.  

In addition, Pat's maternal grandparents came from Southwestern Ireland --- Tipperary & Muintervara (in Kilcrohane ... Munster Province ... on the peninsula between Bantry Bay & Dunmanus Bay.)

Moreover, the give-away which showed Patrick to not have been a Central American ... or NOT to have been the "Spic" people assumed he was ... was whenever you got close to him and saw green-hazel eyes.  You would instantly realize that he was deliberately named after the patron saint of Ireland.  None the less, Pat was called a "Spic," before.

Pat's father was no Central American, as well.  He was a native of Central Pennsylvania.  He was a mechanical engineer for the Armco Steel Corporation who earned the GI Bill & Distinguished Flying Cross, by traveling over the more hostile parts of Nazi German airspace 35 times, in a heavily armed B-24 Bomber.  

Pat also has a sibling who was a metallurgical engineer and a military officer.  In fact, Pat's extended family members are mostly teachers/professors and lawyers, in addition to one electrical engineer.  

He's from a very white collar upper-middle class, country club family.  All members of that family were sent to private academies, for a portion of their school years.  In fact, when you're a member of that family, you are expected to make the national honors society.  Don't judge a last name by its cover.

Back to the Honors Society Photo

Now, when you are looking at an Honors Society photo, you are looking at those at the top of their classes.  You see ten students in the photo above, in a school of approximately 1,750 or so undergrads.  Today, that same school has an undergrad enrollment of approximately 2,400 students.  A few years prior, the enrollment was approximately 2,000 undergrads and 400 graduate students of varying sort.

Below is a letter of recommendation from his philosophy professor.  It and the photo above should help you figure out if this Patrick Anthony Pontillo guy is worth reading.  At the least, his numerous photo-copies of evidence are very much worth viewing.



BELOW:  Patrick's contribution to an anthology published in 2024.


In re:  The Character Assassination Maneuver

Perhaps you know how it goes:  If "they" can't beat you on the issues, they resort to attacking you with character assassinations.  So, if a predictable ad hominine character assassin declares the Blue Marble Album author to be a cold & repressed oppressor who doesn't know what he's talking about ... who doesn't understand humanity ... who can't relate to people ... and who must be avoided or silenced ...  your response is ====>  

Above:  The main subjects in those two photos look like the same one blonde.  They are actually two different women from different parts of America.

And this is yet an entirely different blonde.
  Even though the subjects in each of these two photos can look like the same brunette, they are two entirely different women, from different counties and different backgrounds.


Below:   Ye olde college days.

 For familiarization purposes, how about including work experience in picture form?
For the record, Patrick has done concrete work, carpentry, heavy equipment operating, "heavy landscaping," siding & window work, and he laid a lot of pipe ... as in underground pipelines.  This included relatively large concrete pipes.  In as much, if you walk around Downtown Pittsburgh long enough, you will literally walk on his work. 

Concerning other Pittsburgh work he has done, in order to get anywhere near that work, you need to be a bird or at least someone with a long ladder.  He did a lot of government contract work, even for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Pittsburgh City Engineers, HUD, the URA, the U.S. Dept of Energy, the Pennsylvania Dept of Education, and various "Councils of Governments".   Residential work too.
    
Above:   Some of Patrick's very recent places of work.   You need to be a bird to get near this work.

The achievement in this is that, from 2004 to 2011, he predominately lead the life of an invalid, due to a severe allergic & asthmatic condition which included upper-respiratory reactions such as erythema, splitting headaches, splitting ear-aches, etc.  He won his disability case in 2003.  His disability was declared "a non-exertional disability."  All allergic disabilities are.

It's simply that his old construction company granted him accommodations that no other company would or even could grant.  So, he is still made out of glass, and he only works half the hours he 
used to work.  But, how many people can do this type of work for even 1 hour, and not undergo a painful injury of some degree?  How many people can do such work for an hour and not mess things up?

Incidentally, the most common thing said during the viewing of a recently deceased asthmatic, at a funeral home, is:   "I was just talking to him last week, and he was fine."

The bottom line is that, while Patrick was in his invalid state, the only way in which he could communicate was through writing.  So, write he did.   And then, Politics became the dissemination of lies, on the mainstream media circuits.  So, in response to the mass dishonesty, Patrick had to continue to write ... hundreds of posts ... with lots of illustrations, especially newspaper articles of old.  

One of his accomplishments was that of proving that nothing which happened in the past five years, weather-wise, is new ... and that the charts and graphs of the Biden years had easily provable lies in them, making the Biden-Harris people a clan of  intelligence-insulting liars.

Patrick also did historical society work.  The oldest house  he renovated was built in 1832.  The second oldest house he ever worked-on was built in 1847.   Being a Pittsburgh-based construction worker means that Patrick regularly worked on houses built in the 1890s, the turn of the 20th Century, and the 1920s.  

He also did construction work in Chicago and the Chicago area, as well as in Meadville Pennsylvania, Somerset County, Reading PA, Greene County, and the now-infamous city of Butler, Pennsylvania.


The "heavy equipment photo" above are literally historic.  This is because Patrick was the last heavy equipment operator to perform the final demolition on the formerly famous J&L Steel Works of Aliquippa Pennsylvania.  He removed the last remaining steel mill slab there.  

Above:  Patrick at the former construction company headquarters.  It was a 10,000 sq ft complex, located eighteen to twenty-two blocks away from the Univ of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning.

As an added note, Patrick once held four insurance licenses simultaneously.  It was technically known as one Pennsylvania insurance license with "4 powers of authority,"  This included:  1] Life & Annuities,  2] Property,  3] Casualty,  4] Accident & Health which is NOT the same as selling medical insurance which is a topic for another time.  The area to which Patrick was assigned by his insurance company was Beaver Falls, a place made famous by Super Bowl icon Joe Namath.

Posted as proof.  Posted for no other reason.
And then there's the matter of Patrick's sports background, for familiarization purposes.  In the photo below, he's the man in the middle.  

Moreover, while in college ... in Florida ... he hid the fact that he was the stereotypical joke.  This is because, in those days, the cancel culture would cut you off and condemn you, under the phrase, "Oh, he's just a jock."  

None the less, he earned five letters in high school sports and also won a summer league baseball championship on a team which mostly consisted of the teammates of the local championship football team.  But, Pat didn't attend that particular school.  Only he and the shortstop were not members of that championship football team.

And concerning that summer league baseball team, the catcher of the year prior ended up in the Super Bowl and the National Football Hall of Fame.  And of course, during the off-season, football players were known to either get into golfing or to play summer league baseball.  

The bottom line is that certain Florida college classmates were shocked to find out (years after their college days) that Pat was the stereotypical American jock.  He hid that secret very well.

The secret was almost instantly no more, when he transferred to a Pennsylvania college, being that, while he was standing in the exact middle of the campus, a crew of classmates threw him a football and needed someone to throw them passes.  And he refused to be rude.  He was then asked to go out for the football team there, but he had other time obligations.  It was a Franciscan college and not a Division I school.  So ...

                                              Patrick again.



Pontillo's numerous hours of research and writing were actually years of research and writing ... and it was an unpaid public service.   Lots of work for no pay.   He was given a $100 donation once, back in 2014.  But he was never given as much as a penny after that time, and never before so, either.  

It was a matter of years of work done for free, as a public service.  
Even at that, the $100 was given in gratitude for him exposing the corruption of Cardinal Donald Wuerl.  That involves an entirely different website.

This translates into a writer who has no conflict of interest, as in paychecks for things written.  He NEVER got paid to write what he did.  That makes him the opposite of a propaganda puppet.

Part 1: Archeology says Mecca was no major mercantile center in 6th & 7th Centuries


The center of the Muslim religion is Mecca.  Mecca is also known as Makkah al-Mukarramah ... as well as Macoraba ... and even Bakkah.  

Mecca was said to have been a major trading center during the 6th and 7th Centuries, as well as centuries prior to that.  This "Mecca trading center" narrative is a pivotal assertion for the Muslim religion.  This is because the Muslim religion professes that its founder predominately lived in Mecca, from 570 to 622 C.E.   

The Muslim religion furthermore professes that this man was a very rich merchant in a very rich Mecca and who married a very wealthy widow in 595 C.E., when he was only 25 or 26 years old.  

Then, when reached the age of 40, according to the Muslim profession of believe, this same wealthy merchant started to have a long series of visions and locutions from the Archangel Gabriel, after this man told the same angel that he was illiterate, though outrageously wealthy.

Historical & Archeological Reality Check

Now, as far as goes MAJOR trading hubs in the history of the Eastern Hemisphere, the Operative Phrase is =====>  THE SILK ROUTE ... The Silk Road ... and more specifically, the Maritime Silk Road.

Also in the equation were Red Sea Port Cities, a few of which were not officially regarded as existing along the Silk Route.  In as much, whatever be the 6th Century city in Eurasia & eastern Asia ... if it were not located along the Maritime Silk Road .. or if it were not along the Red Sea ... it was NOT a major trading hub.

It turns out that the Story of Mecca was just a story

Mecca was nowhere near the Silk Route which began in Xi'an China and which ended in Antakya, TΓΌrkiye, to the north ... and Aden in the southern coastline of the Arabian Peninsula.  In fact, Antakya is approximately 1,000 miles north of Mecca, while Aden is 689 straight-line miles from Mecca.  

Moreover, Alexandria Egypt was also a major trading hub along the Maritime Silk Road, and it's located 911 miles northwest of Mecca.


NOTE: The ABSENCE of EVIDENCE includes the names, 1} Makkah al-Mukarramah, 2} Macoraba,  and 3} Bakkah, as well as 4} Mecca No evidence of any kind exists under any of the four names for Mecca.  There was no major mercantile center there in the 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries.  Period.



JEDDAH

For those unaware, 41 to 45 miles west of Mecca is a port town which bears the name "Grandmother" or "Ancestress," in Arabic.  This is because an Islamic writer of the early 10th Century claimed that Eve was buried there, in a tomb.  His name is/was AbΕ« Muhammad al-Hasan al-HamdānΔ«, and there was some kind of a tomb there which was destroyed by the Saudi government, in 1928, under the claim that it incited idolatry.

None the less, after a wave of Muslim conquests ... in 647 C.E. ... Jeddah's name became "the City of Consulates," as in Balad al-Qanasil.  So, it was the city with two interchangeable names.

As far as goes Jeddah, in the 6th Century and until 647 C.E., it was only a FISHING PORT which provided no accommodations for merchant caravans.  This reinforces the findings that Mecca was not a major trading center in the 6th and 7th Centuries.

Until 647 C.E., the Port of Jeddah was Persona Non Grata.  It then became designated to be the port for those making pilgrimages to the Great Mosque of Mecca.  The Great Mosque of Mecca was known as Masjid al-Haram.  The person designating Jeddah as the pilgrim's port was Caliph Uthman ibn Affan.  

In as much, the Arabian word, Masjid, means place to prostrate oneself, as in prostrating oneself before God's presence.  Something similar to that.  

The bottom line here is that neither Mecca nor Jeddah were major merchant centers in the 6th & 7th Centuries.  Being that neither Mecca nor Jeddah were major trading centers at the time, the story of the rich 7th Century Mecca merchant suddenly receiving visions & revelations from the same one archangel completely falls apart.  


There was also historic Baghdad.  One of its suburbs ... located 21 miles away ... was the major 7th Century trading hub located along the Maritime Silk Road.  It's located 850 to 900 miles north of Mecca.  None the less, during the 8th Century, Baghdad was the major trading center of the region.  Baghdad is 869 miles away from Mecca.

Let's now add a pivotal allegation 

In Muslim tradition, it's claimed that the Quraysh Tribe ruled Mecca before the start of Islam and that there was a man named, Muhammad, from that tribe who started to get visions from the Angel Gabriel, at the age of forty:


In addition, Hormuz Island and the city of Hormuz itself is situated 1,200 miles northeast of Mecca.  Hormuz, too, was truly one of the major trading hubs of the Maritime Silk Road.  Meanwhile, Mecca was not.


In addition, Mecca is about 41 to 45 miles east of the Red Sea.  HOWEVER, the main 7th Century Red Sea port was Berenice Troglodytica. Today, it's known as Berenike, and it was a Greco-Roman port on the Egyptian side of the Red Sea ... and NOT on the Arabian side.  And, as the name suggests, Troglodytica means "cave dwellers," as opposed to desert nomads and/or Bedouins.

Now, keep in mind that even BUDDHIST ARTIFACTS were found in Berenike, and they date as far back as the 2nd Century, CE.  Archeological pieces with Sanskrit inscriptions on them were also found in Berenike.  No such thing was found in Mecca, proving that Mecca didn't come close to being a major trading hub in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Centuries, as well as the first half of 7th Century.

In the Muslim religion, the important year is 632 CE.  This is the year when a very rich man supposedly receiving numerous vision from Gabriel the Archangel allegedly died.  Equally important was the Year 622 CE.  This was the year when the allegedly rich merchant moved to Medina.  Well, up to the Year 622, Medina was an unknown town.  Even up to 632 CE, Mecca was NOT  a significant trading hub in anyway or in anyhow.


And then there was Aden, 689 miles away from Mecca.  It was the south tip of the historic Maritime Silk Road.  Thus, it was a thriving port city, for those traveling between India and Egypt.


Very simply, travel south on the Red Sea, and at the end of it, you turn left toward India.  You will pass Aden, an accommodating port city, even in the 6th & 7th Centuries.  The bottom line is that the major trading hubs of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries were far far away from Mecca.  Period.



There was also Muza, Yemen.  It was a thriving trading center mentioned in ancient texts, while Mecca was not.  Muza is/was 648 miles from Mecca.  


Below:  As far as goes the history of Alexandria Egypt, it was the major Middle Eastern & Mediterranean trading hub of the 6th Century.  Well, Muslim tradition states that a man named Mohammad started his rise to wealth at the end of the 6th Century, due to Mecca Commerce.  He would then become fully wealthy at the start of the 7th Century ... due to Mecca commerce when the reality is that Alexandria was the place to get rich.

Alexandria remained a major trading hub into the first four decades of the 7th Century.  Then, in 641 C.E., nineteen years after the man named Muhammad was said to have died, Alexandria was conquered by Arabian forces.  It's economic dominance in the region was no more.  However, throughout the alleged lifetime of the man named Muhammad,  Alexandria was a major trading hub.  This meant that Mecca was not.


Concerning the claim that Mecca was the ultimate trading hub of the 6th and/or 7th Century, the logistics do NOT work, and the evidence is just NOT there ... or anywhere else.  Even Baghdad, the major Silk Route hub nearest to Mecca, is 869 miles north north north of Mecca.  And of course, Baghdad is a legend of a city.

And then there was the big lie promoting by propagandists

It was asserted with assured certainty that, in the 6th and 7th century, piracy was so rampant on the high seas that almost every trader traveled via land, with caravans of camels.  It is the ultimate insult to human intelligence.  Observe:


Let's list the port cities of the Middle East & the Mediterranean which were thriving during the 5th, 6th, and 7th Century ... minus the years of the atmospheric disaster that began in 536 CE ... in the non-warm-weather regions of Planet Earth ... as well as the years of the Justinian Plague which began in 541 CE.  The thriving sea port cities, per se, included Hormuz, Alexandria, Berenike, Muza, and Aden.

Let's get this well understood and review it

1]  Wealthy Eastern Hemispheric merchants of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th Centuries operated in either Hormuz or Alexandria or Baghdad or Antakya or Calicut India or Berenike or Muza or Aden or a few other places, all of which were either on the Maritime Silk Road or were port towns.  Of course, subtract the years surrounding the 536 CE environmental disaster and the 541 Justinian Plague. 

2] The wealthy merchants did NOT operate in Mecca, during the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries, be it under the name of Mecca or under the name of Bakkah ... or under the name of Makkah al-Kamarramah ... or under the name Macoraba.  Plus, Jeddah was not a major trading port, either.  It was a modest fisherman's port.

3]  Therefore, all four names for Mecca were absent from the records and from the chronicles of the time.  So too were they absent from archeological inscriptions of any kind, for centuries.  Meanwhile, in the years before the Muslim conquest of the Arabian & Persian regions, Jeddah was part of the Kingdom of Hejaz, ruled by the Hashemite Dynasty, serving the function of a humble, yet essential, fisherman's port.
