Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs

Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs

Ultimately, Tariffs on Products of Exporter-Suppliers Sold to Importer-Retailers Are a Pass-on Sales Tax on and Raise the Prices on Those Products Sold by Importer-Retailers and Purchased by Domestic Consumers

Some of the top and obvious marketplace ramifications of the economic mechanics of the imposition of tariffs on imports from China and other [major] export-import competitor nations:

PRC China and the other major nation-state export-import competitors targeted, and their business products punished, with US tariffs on their exports to, imports by US re-sellers into, the US will balance and cancel out the effect of the US tariffs with corresponding, or correspondingly higher, rates-of-charge counter, retaliatory tariffs of their own on US exports to their nations, compared to zero or lower tariff rates-of-charge on imports from respectively zero-tariff and lower-tariff imposing nations. Prices of imports, including components, parts and raw materials, in addition to semifinished and finished products, for all affected lines of products, will increase, and probably comparatively rapidly or abruptly sharply spike for and between the tariff dueling nations. Particularly the smaller producer, and/or lesser international and optionally domestic, market-share and import-beneficiary retailer and consumer, export nation would most lose, though both might lose lopsidedly overall, international consumer market share, reduced domestic consumer purchases, along with net-effect purchasing power with regard to their household and business enterprise incomes, and reduced retailer sales and profitability and consequential, in the aggregate, reduced import-export business sector earnings as well as earnings, or returns, to their investors, as in the import-export sector of the US economy. If importer-retailers absorb the tariffs in whole or large part, they will reduce their profit margins and profitability or do worse to themselves. This economic scenario in the USA would result in widespread business failures and staid acutely diminished sales, revenue and profit declines in the import-export sector of the economy, including for major street, mall and online retailers, and in the respective full unemployment for some and substantial reductions in employment for others of their workforces of import businesses. Housing, automobile, grocer, banking, lending and credit, church tithing, charitable donations and political contributions, among other sectors of the US economy, would be economically hurt by income losses by the import-tariffs' related and driven downturn (in financially weakened going concerns, insolvencies and mass unemployment and reduced employment of business significantly tied to and dependent on imports, especially normally price-cheap imports) in the US economy.

However, when imports constitute the dumping of products at or below the cost of their production, whose effect is or credibly potentially is to harm systemically the viability of an industry or producer-market segment of the receiver nation, then reasonably such imports should be banned if they are not essential to or required for the production needs of domestic producers and the supply of the same kinds of products by domestic suppliers is insufficient. If they are so needed, then tariffs should be levied on them to make their retail prices match the average, above-average or top price of the concerned products found across major or all world markets. Otherwise, when imports, by exporters, with bona-fide prices episodically or in an overall continuum flood the domestic market, import quotas can be set on them and punitive tariffs can be levied on them, per type of product and supplier, with offender suppliers subject to being suspended for a term from exporting directly or indirectly through proxies, on a case-by-case basis rather than doing the same against the export products in large measure or wholly of a foreign nation or its producers in order to protect the solvency, viability and marketplace competitiveness of domestic producers, while averting inter-nation mutually economically damaging trade wars. By law, anti-monopoly or -quasi-monopoly and anti-collusion regulated domestic and international competition between and among similar businesses constrains runaway price rises and inflation to the benefit of consumers and, ideally, bolsters a maximum of market-share participants and stakeholders within and across the different industries and types of business as well as supports the extensive spread or distribution of wealth, and its non-concentration in a relatively few, among the citizenry.

The practical and ethical economics rules and conventions applicable to and operative in the trade relationships between and among advanced technocratic and industrially developed nations do not apply as much with second and apply minimally with third tiered techno-industrially developed, or moderately and weakly developed, nations, as they put the natural resources and largely tenuous employment and subsistence financial means of the populations of the two latter economic and trade tiered nations at high susceptibility to peril and grave economic depredation by first and second tiered such nations. In trade relations of any and all import and export trading nations, of all tiers, in quarterly, semi-annually and annual net revenue and profit results, or proportionally for these based on the sizes of the economies of competitor nations, there will be a hierarchy of best to least achieved performer nations, in which first tiered nations overwhelmingly will tend to be the best materially and in knowledge and skills equipped and productive nations in making and supplying products and in being durably the best performers and most resilient, with fluxes in performance ranking among them in performance reporting cycles, to recovering from slumped or poor performance and remaining competitive within first tiered competitor nations, whereas third tiered nations would not be significantly capable of buying up resources and companies as well as buying off the top and important but lesser governance officials of first or second tiered nations, unlike vice versa for first and less so for second tiered nations of third tiered nations, whose nations, respectively, would be able or better able to also largely economically colonize and devastatingly prey upon or parasitize, even by outright violence, national-forever-debt-slave foreign loans, pretender-righteousness color coups and figurehead, political puppet leaderships, on third tier nations. This latter situation is the case, especially against some Central and South American nations and the nations of black Africa, what is left of Africa as black Africa, inching toward going the way of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, etc., though by colonizers and re-settlers who are alien people to Africa from a variety of outside-of-Africa ancestral lands. Rankings in inter-nation and international trade achiever-performance positions among first-tier trade nations will inevitably shuffle and change over the financial performance reporting cycles and across the years -- in democratic trade relationships between these, there can be no monopoly nation or permanent or lasting solo same dominant nation.

We must be proactively mindful of both Murphy's law and the Peter principle, or woe betide us like with the Covid-19 pandemic and its havoc on the US economy and economies of the other major nations of the world of humanity: Economic policy of the first Donald Trump administration - Wikipedia , Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years — ProPublica , Trump’s Trade Wars with China and Europe Have Made Bad Agriculture Policies Worse (foreignpolicy.com) , Trump Tariffs & Biden Tariffs: Economic Impact of the Trade War (taxfoundation.org) , Did Trump’s tariffs benefit American workers and national security? (brookings.edu) , How Trump’s Tariffs Really Affected the U.S. Job Market | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace . 

     The adverse economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic muddled the distinction between them and the mounting and concurrent adverse effects on the US economy of the first Trump Presidency's wide-ranging tariffs on imports. Strongly indicated within the writings of the aforementioned citations is that former POTUS Trump was more interested in and focused on the circa $79,000,000,000.00 that his tariffs generated than the short-term circa well more than $400,000,000,000.00 in business and job income losses in the US economy, apart from their longer-term losses, that resulted from his concurrent Covid-19 initially mismanaged pandemic and policy of large tariffs on imports, especially those exported from China, and loss of the export of US agricultural products by the agricultural sector of the US economy to China.

Considering that past behavior, unless redemptively or corruptively modified in the interim for better or worse, is the best predictor of future behavior, here is a click-on news commentary of warning on the US economy by a reputable and credible financial market expert of what may credibly come to pass for the US economy under the new, second Trump Presidency, of whom the first Trump Presidency left the dream economy it inherited from the Democratic Party Obama Presidency totally wrecked, for which the MAGA portion and a significant politically mixed other portion of the voting electorate forgetfully, ignorantly and facetiously blamed its/his successor Democratic Party Biden Presidency for it, whereas the Biden Presidency restored in full the US economy and, along with the Federal Reserve Bank, its inflation rate down to virtually the default minimal inflationary interest rate of 2%, and, moreover, made the US economy the currently leading economy in the world — though it did not restore prices to those of the pre-inflationary period preceding the soaring price inflationary period, which historically has never happened, brought about by the first Trump Presidency and whereof then President Trump, before he took office as US president in his first term, had a history of various of his businesses having been in bankruptcy 6 times and himself of having been successfully sued for legally liable financial misconduct against others, Anthony Scaramucci Predicts a Market Crash Under Trump — Here’s How To Prepare If He’s Right (yahoo.com) .

Tariffs do not take place in a one-way action environment and relationship with other nations and the nations of the world, as in one of negative output and impact on others by oneself without a return, or response, and impact action, or counteraction, on oneself from and by negatively affected others by oneself, the initiator-instigator of the negativity or negative exchange and transaction relationship. We must remember that indeed tariffs ultimately are a sales tax, passed by the exporter-suppliers onto the retailers and consumers of the imports, which hikes the costs and prices of the imported, if all not all, by side effect, products and services for sale.

Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late 

— a pre-voting, final-hours updated vitally-important read for voters in today's US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024

Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late

— a pre-voting, final-hours updated vitally-important read for voters in today's US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024

Why would an individual pollster and political analyst among many accuse the many others of pressing a finger down on their consensus polling data on the candidates in the US presidential election competition to the favor of Kamala Harris by one point within the margin of error or to show a virtual tie between the candidates and himself contrarily claim a landslide win for Trump? He would do so to get mass attention-grabbing reads of his written election news commentary in major part to temper down the harsh and negative rhetorical attacks, the bad news and bad publicity, against Trump and to have his Trump-favorable commentary and nudging of cautious silence toward Trump viralized. It makes sense that he would be doing this with the ultimate goal in mind of getting the adoption of his controversial, contrarian commentary as belief by much of the public that is followed by its/their sudden mass spread of this maverick conclusion as an expectation that could and might, as a matter of caution and self-concern by others en masse, hush bad publicity and vote-losing rhetorical attacks and endorsements against Trump by socially high-profile figures and organizations of influence otherwise critical of Trump, to a desired significantly beneficial political effect for him in a close election, according to a consensus of the major election polls, in the last few presidential campaign days leading up to the US presidential election of 11/05/2024.

However, it has newly come to my attention in my listening to radio broadcast interviews of objectively-minded political science professors and reputable professional political analysts that other minor, known-MAGA-partisan pollsters have been making the same claim online and in the pro-MAGA broadcasts as that of the hereinabove referred to mainstream election pollster-analyst of a landslide presidential election victory for Trump, a wrong MAGA-partisan private-pollsters polls-based previous election forecast which they (the interviewees) said the same or like folks made in advance, via same communications media channels, of the 2020 US presidential election actual defeat of Trump and win of current POTUS Joe Biden on election day then of 11-03-2020. In essence, they proposed that these dubious private polls of the past may have been the strategic, fallback plan-B, motivational groundwork that set the stage in advance of that election for MAGA-movement attempts to overturn it, if it resulted in a defeat of Trump’s reelection bid, which it did, by various means, such as mass mobilization action of aggressive MAGA political activists, legislatively and administratively within GOP-dominated state legislatures and GOP-MAGAs in the houses of Congress and judicially, by state and federal courts, including the GOP-membership-dominated US Supreme Court, all tried but comprehensively failed means to overturn the election of Biden as US president and retain the Trump Presidency. They say, in overall effect, that the Trump-MAGA team have probably learned from this previous thorough failure to alternatively win the US presidency in contravention of traditional federal Constitutional- and statutory-law institutional protocols and means and this time may be using such partisanly private and dubious election polls and bogus forecasts disseminated on online social media platforms and in right-wing mass media broadcasts, such as Fox, etc., as a same fallback strategy in the event of another defeat of Donald Trump in his current 2024 presidential election bid to overturn a win of that election by current US Vice President Kamala Harris but one with a much improved, better and more effective overturn or insurrection “game.”

All the while the Trump campaign and its compatriots on the sidelines, including those in the mass communications media, illusorily misrepresent the former Trump Presidency as having been an economic success story in which business and households were better off then economically than they are now under the Biden Presidency. It is a fallacious good-old-days mirage of a Trumpian national economic success story in that in less than half way into the second two years of Trump's four-year term as US president, our nation, and the nations of almost the whole of humanity worldwide was/were stricken by the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mismanaged by Trump and his presidential administration by first delaying announcing it publicly, then downplaying its significant danger and delaying taking societal action to contend with it nationally until the casualties from it soared, which resulted in a nationwide economic shutdown, a national shortage of toilet paper, the emptying of and lasting shortage in supplies of groceries in grocery stores, comprehensive spikes in the prices of groceries, extending to soaring price inflation, often seller-gouging price push inflation, of nearly all goods and services and retention of increased prices, and in mass job losses and unemployment, all the product of the soaring-inflation, economically failed Trump Presidency, like his past 6 business bankruptcies.

The Biden Presidency has been the rescue and clean-up crew of the dream economy inherited, and trashed, by former POTUS Trump from the Obama Presidency, in which Biden was vice president, and has restored record-level high employment to our nation, competently managed its takeover in handling the national Covid-19 pandemic and phased our nation out of its crisis status, and it, together with the Federal Reserve Bank, has substantially reduced the rate of inflation it inherited from the Trump Presidency.

However, the economist Paul Krugman explained that never following periods of soaring price inflation have prices returned to what they were before the periods of soaring price inflation, which is the way economic history works. Prices returning to what they were before a period of soaring price inflation would not happen (with the somewhat exception of modestly volatile gasoline prices for automobiles in the short term) if our economy were managed by the economic titans of the past Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman, as well as by the financial titans Mansa Musa, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

It is the deplorables and garbage brains of the Trump team and cult who blame the Biden clean-up crew for the mess the gaslighting, mind-wiping Trump Presidency and political team created by dereliction, mismanagement and incompetent governance and for impossibly not returning the economy's post-inflation higher prices to pre-inflation lower prices. Don’t hold your breath hoping and waiting for the latter to happen.

Go Away Mischief-Maker Demagogue-Rabble Rouser:

Unite and fight the demagoguers. Don’t let them divide and conquer. Don’t let them sow strife and rancor. They are rift and phobia mongers. They are questors without honor, loyal to only themselves and power.

A demagogue is a person, or plural of such, who uses inflammatory language and actions to socially demonize, and stoke fear, phobia, hysteria and animosity toward and against, different or outsider others as well as to scapegoat another or others -- in effect, undertaking or campaigning to poison minds collectively against them and socially and politically enemyize, disfavor and marginalize them -- so as thereby to exercise and gain or secure mass, or populist, chauvinist influence and power. Ultimately, power is control, which when possessed by a demagogue is disposed to become abused and unaccountable control.

This article also reveals that when Donald Trump was US president he once remarked to his chief of staff retired US general John Kelly that he needed [Nazi] generals like [Nazi Der Fuhrer] Hitler had [in WWII]. The Bill of Rights Constitutional United States of America needs the kinds of generals, including such as of recently retired, former US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley of our time, and armed forces that the USA and then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had against and who and which thoroughly defeated Nazi-nation state dictator Adolph Hitler's generals and military, which a US President Kamala Harris (unlike a subversive and traitorous, NAZI-sympathizer Donald Trump) would opt for and have for the USA.

Christianity was an almost entirely pacifist, altruist-love practicing and proselytizing branch (the New Testament) of Judaism founded by Jesus the Messiah and based on his teachings, way of life and the dictums of his afterlife appearances to particularly his apostles Peter and John, of altruistic love, caring mutuality and fellowship among all peoples, all tongues and nations (even in apostle John’s bleak chapter Revelations of the New Testament, Jesus admonishes that those whose names will be written into the book of life (to have heavenly eternal life) will be based on their good deeds). Initially, it was, after the death of Jesus by crucifixion, the Apostolic Universal (Catholic) Church, until it later became the adopted [institutional] religion of the Roman Empire under Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, after which time it became the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christianity branched from Roman Catholicism -- Eastern Orthodox Christianity, including Greek, Coptic, Russian, etc., branched from it long before Protestantism. At root and fundamentally, true Christianity has nothing to do with racial, ethnic or other demographic identity and supremacy nor with provincialism or nationalism of any kind, which are all antithetical to true Christianity. Christianity originated in the Middle East and first spread to Asia Minor, Ionia and Greece, West Asia, Egypt and Ethiopia, not necessarily strictly in that order.

Islam became the predominate religion of these geographies, except for Greece and Ethiopia, as a result of the Arab military conquest of them, and other geographies, following the death of the de-facto first caliph of Islam and Islamic Arabia the Prophet Muhammad, 571 to 632 CE, the founder of Islam and a military conqueror and unifier of Arabia in the decade-plus following the death of his wealthy-merchant, well-educated and highly religious first wife Kadijah bint Khuwaylid, 554 to 619 CE, 17 years older than him and his employer, of a wealthy and powerful merchant Arabian nuclear family and extended family. The Prophet Muhammad left behind himself in life upon his death, as its until then leader, one of the most well equipped, trained, battle-seasoned and powerful of armies in the world. Arabia itself was a province of the western division of the Roman Empire before the fall of the hegemony of the once-mighty western division of the Roman Empire, and its armed forces were well trained and armed by the Roman military long before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. Furthermore, its armed forces were considered formidable by their Roman political-military overlords. But after the fall of rulership jurisdiction of the said Roman Empire, there was infighting within and among the armed forces and warlords of Arabia, until the growing and growingly successful armed forces of the Prophet Muhammad eventually conquered and unified them all under his command and authority, with the political and probable financial help of the family clan of his deceased first wife into which she was born.)

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Voter Poll as Relates to Donald Trump's Recent Major Business Ventures Bode Against His Electability as US President

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Voter Poll as Relates to Donald Trump's Recent Major Business Ventures, Cryptocurrency & Truth/er Social, Bode Against His Electability as US President

(Click on the herewith hyperlink to read the above healdline-related news article: https://www.newser.com/story/357929/trump-crypto-launch-doesnt-live-up-to-hype.html )

If this bad news on Donald Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency market and the shockingly far-below-expectations, of market analysts, in the resultant actual low level of investment participation in it by the Trump-friendly investor market, as well as that of the recent sharp declines in both the value of the stock and company of his social media platform Truth/er Social ( https://apnews.com/article/trump-media-shares-donald-trump-truth-social-82d8839bb5f5a96e93e2404399ead072 ), is or are an election outcome behavioral barometer and informal political-voting trendline poll and thereof harbinger of the strength of support and unity of the GOP and plutocrat-class constituencies and their loyalty and enthusiasm for financially-and-morally-bankruptcy-legacy Donald Trump in actually voting for him (grandpa madman, bully, demagogue, misogynist, sexual-harasser, dirty-old-man-lecher Donald Trump) to be elected US president again (after a hiatus from the US presidency by rejection of him for reelection by a large majority of the votes of the electorate and Electoral College in the 11/2020 US presidential election) in the upcoming 11-05-2024 US presidential election, then I would not bet on his election to that office again or would bet a low-wager-to-high-returns ratio on him being elected or flat out bet against him. Election politics-related behavioral quasi-voting, such as the above referenced marketplace voting, or choosing, may be found to be competitive with traditional expert enterprise political election polling. We shall know soon.

Moreover, numbers of individual voter, as well as total amounts of, political support contributions of money to competing candidates or referendum/a initiatives are an informal poll and indicator of the electorate's voting choices and majority-choice outcomes in elections, a voting choice indicator that at this time strongly weights in favor of the US Vice President Kamala Harris for US president candidacy according to the following Forbes Magazine news article: Donald Trump V. Kamala Harris 2024: Which Campaign Raised More Money (forbes.com) .

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Voter Poll Pertaining to and in Advance of the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Voter Poll as Relates to Donald Trump's Recent Major Business Ventures, Cryptocurrency & Truth/er Social, Bode Against His Electability as US President

(Click on the herewith hyperlink to read the above healdline-related news article: https://www.newser.com/story/357929/trump-crypto-launch-doesnt-live-up-to-hype.html )

If this bad news on Donald Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency market and the shockingly far-below-expectations, of market analysts, in the resultant actual low level of investment participation in it by the Trump-friendly investor market, as well as that of the recent sharp declines in both the value of the stock and company of his social media platform Truth/er Social ( https://apnews.com/article/trump-media-shares-donald-trump-truth-social-82d8839bb5f5a96e93e2404399ead072 ), is or are an election outcome behavioral barometer and informal political-voting trendline poll and thereof harbinger of the strength of support and unity of the GOP and plutocrat-class constituencies and their loyalty and enthusiasm for financially-and-morally-bankruptcy-legacy Donald Trump in actually voting for him (grandpa madman, bully, demagogue, misogynist, sexual-harasser, dirty-old-man-lecher Donald Trump) to be elected US president again (after a hiatus from the US presidency by rejection of him for reelection by a large majority of the votes of the electorate and Electoral College in the 11/2020 US presidential election) in the upcoming 11-05-2024 US presidential election, then I would not bet on his election to that office again or would bet a low-wager-to-high-returns ratio on him being elected or flat out bet against him. Election politics-related behavioral quasi-voting, such as the above referenced marketplace voting, or choosing, may be found to be competitive with traditional expert enterprise political election polling. We shall know soon.

Moreover, numbers of individual voter, as well as total amounts of, political support contributions of money to competing candidates or referendum/a initiatives are an informal poll and indicator of the electorate's voting choices and majority-choice outcomes in elections, a voting choice indicator that at this time strongly weights in favor of the US Vice President Kamala Harris for US president candidacy according to the following Forbes Magazine news article: Donald Trump V. Kamala Harris 2024: Which Campaign Raised More Money (forbes.com) .

A demagogue is a person, or plural of such, who uses inflammatory language and actions to socially demonize, and stoke fear, phobia, hysteria and animosity toward and against, different or outsider others as well as to scapegoat another or others -- in effect, undertaking or campaigning to poison minds collectively against them and socially and politically enemyize, disfavor and marginalize them -- so as thereby to exercise and gain or secure [mass, or populist, chauvinist] influence and power.  Ultimately, power is control, which when possessed by a demagogue is disposed to become abused and unaccountable control.

This article also reveals that when Donald Trump was US president, he once remarked to his chief of staff retired US general John Kelly that he needed [Nazi] generals like [Nazi Der Fuhrer] Hitler had [in WWII]. The democratic Bill of Rights Constitutional Republic of the United States of America needs the kind of generals, including such as recently retired, former US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley of our time, and armed forces that the USA and then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had against and who and which thoroughly defeated Nazi-nation state dictator Adolph Hitler's generals and military, which a US President Kamala Harris (unlike a subversive and traitorous, NAZI-sympathizer Donald Trump) would opt for and have for the USA.

Christianity was an almost entirely pacifist, altruist-love practicing and proselytizing branch (the New Testament) of Judaism founded by Jesus the Messiah and based on his teachings, way of life and the dictums of his afterlife appearances to particularly his apostles Peter and John, of altruistic love, caring mutuality and fellowship among all peoples, all tongues and nations (even in apostle John’s bleak chapter Revelations of the New Testament, Jesus admonishes that those whose names will be written into the book of life (to have heavenly eternal life) will be based on their good deeds).  Initially, it was, after the death of Jesus by crucifixion, the Apostolic Universal (Catholic) Church, until it later became the adopted [institutional] religion of the Roman Empire under Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, after which time it became the Roman Catholic Church.  Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christianity branched from Roman Catholicism -- Eastern Orthodox Christianity, including Greek, Coptic, Russian, etc., branched from it long before Protestantism.  At root and fundamentally, [true] Christianity has nothing to do with racial, ethnic or other demographic identity and supremacy nor with provincialism or nationalism of any kind, which are all antithetical to true Christianity.  Christianity originated in the Middle East and first spread to Asia Minor, Ionia and Greece, West Asia, Egypt and Ethiopia, not necessarily strictly in that order.

Islam became the predominate religion of these geographies, except for Greece and Ethiopia, as a result of the Arab military conquest of them, and other geographies, following the death of the de-facto first caliph of Islam and Islamic Arabia the Prophet Muhammad, 571 to 632 CE, the founder of Islam and a military conqueror and unifier of Arabia in the decades following the death of his wealthy-merchant, well-educated and highly religious first wife Kadijah bint Khuwaylid, 554 to 619 CE, 17 years older than him and his employer, of a wealthy and powerful merchant Arabian nuclear family and extended family.  The Prophet Muhammad left behind himself in life upon his death, as its until then leader, one of the most well equipped, trained, battle-seasoned and powerful of armies in the world.  Arabia itself was a province of the western division of the Roman Empire before the fall of the hegemony of the once-mighty western division of the Roman Empire, and its armed forces were well trained and armed by the Roman military long before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. Furthermore, its armed forces were considered formidable by their Roman political-military overlords.   But after the fall of rulership jurisdiction of the said Roman Empire, there was infighting within and among the armed forces and warlords of Arabia, until the growing and growingly successful armed forces of the Prophet Muhammad eventually conquered and unified them all under his command and authority, with the political and probable financial help of the family clan of his deceased first wife into which she was born.

Anomalous Galaxy Discovered, Its immediate practical scientific implications, plus

Why the discovery of this odd galaxy and its news are extraordinary 

The big news is in astronomy, as reported in most scientific and the major news media throughout the week of March 25, 2018 through April 1, 2018, in the astronomical discovery of a galaxy, galaxy NGC1052-DF2, observed to be devoid of the effects of dark matter, or dark energy-matter, indicating the absence of this phenomenon there so far observed to be present in the other observed galaxies.  This is big news for the science of astrophysics because, if the observation of this indicated zero dark-matter galaxy is confirmed to be enduring fact, then galaxy NGC1052-DF2 would be a celestially insitu, or in-the-field, scientific control condition for comparison with normal galaxies, which are surrounded by an inferential halo of dark matter extending for as many as hundreds of thousands of light years beyond them and exceeding in mass by a ratio of 5 or 6 to 1 the mass of normal, or baryonic-luminous, matter, or such energy-matter mass, of galaxies and the universe (of which the celestial objects, from quanta to solar systems and organisms, as we know them, are made). The effects of inferential dark matter on the baryonic matter of the universe, with baryonic matter being the mass, made of atoms and molecules, of the directly or instrumentally observable universe, include: 1)., gravitationally cohering or binding together galaxies, as well as accounting for the greater speed of rotation of galaxies and galaxy clusters than would be the case in the absence of the considerable mass of dark matter; 2)., influencing the size of the supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, the standard for galaxies on the whole, to human telescopic observation, perhaps until this discovery; 3)., influencing the density distribution of stars, or solar systems, and gas-dust nebulae, etc., within galaxies and of galaxy clusters as well as of galaxies within galaxy clusters; 4)., and observed gravitational lensing, being the bending of background light or such radiowave radiation from a large-mass light source, such as a star or distant galaxy by, normally a baryonic-matter large-mass foreground celestial object, relative to an observer or photo-telescope, but, in the case of dark matter, an invisible such large mass in the foreground (gravitationally lensing or bending the visible light or instrumentally detectable radiowave radiation), being indicative or inferential dark matter, or such exotic invisible matter.  

Why the existence of a galaxy devoid of dark matter, or dark energy-matter, is most especially scientifically noteworthy and astonishing, is because the prevailing empirical, inferential model of dark energy, or dark energy-matter, based on observation, infers that dark energy, or dark energy-matter, permeates all of space-time of the observable or knowable extent of the universe, so a patch or sector, or galaxy, of it devoid of either or both of these phenomena would be inconsistent with apparent cosmological nature as well as anomalous to the heretofore historical telescopic observations of the universe of our astrophysics and astronomy sciences.  The discovery of this potentially zero dark-matter, or energy-matter, galaxy and a comparison study of it, if it is confirmed to be such an anomalous galaxy, with apparent normal galaxies, as hereinabove identified, will allow a resolution and conclusion to the lively debate in astrophysics and astronomy as to whether or not dark energy and matter are illusory, mistaken phenomena, that have an alternative, less mysterious explanation, or are actual. Even more scientifically astonishing would be a scientific finding of fact that both dark energy and matter, as the elusive phenomena of their observed effects and ubiquity, and a galaxy devoid of, or with little, dark matter, or dark energy-matter, coexist.

(Dark energy and matter are invisible to the human senses and humanity’s perceptual and observational technology and whose [fundamental particle and derivative more complex and complex] structures of makeup are undetermined and so are unknown, but they are inferentially known by their definitely or definitively observable effects on especially very large celestial objects and structures of the telescopically observed universe.  I have taken the liberty in using the term dark energy-matter herein as a substitute term for dark matter or dark energy because, in view of the energy-and-matter equivalency equation of physicist Albert Einstein of E=MC2, I venture to treat dark matter as an invisible to our species analog of baryonic matter and the latter’s also states of alternately existing in a matter state as a liquid, solid, gas or plasma or converting to chemically undifferentiated pure energy, such as is the familiar case -- to common knowledge among literate humans -- with molecular water, H20, having its liquid, its ice or snow or frost, its steam or fog or mist or vapor, etc., states.)  

For science fiction writers, if this truly is a one-of-a-kind, one-off, wholly unique galaxy, or one example among a very rare category of galaxy made newly known to our astronomy by its recently highly advanced telescopes, it is grist for a book and movie of an artificial or artificialized galaxy created or purposefully modified by an intellectually super sci-tech species, probably ancient in cosmological terms, but which perhaps is short of being godly in sci-tech intelligence in not having mastered an understanding and the manipulation of dark energy-matter (a tenuous type 3 galactic-scale civilization species, on the Kardashev scale of celestial civilization types, consisting of 5 types, in which successor acolytes of astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev have increased by two additional types of celestial civilization Kardashev’s original conception of three such types.), or, alternatively, which does have such intelligence in having created an artificial galaxy in which all of its stellar-planetary systems, or solar systems, are inhabited with its species occupying sci-tech engineered heavenly, utopian worlds environmentally, socially and technologically, in having indeed mastered a knowledge and the manipulation of dark energy-matter and tweaked or dialed (that is, calibrated) its presence in its artificial or artificialized galaxy perfectly to serve its existential purposes as a species (a firm type 3 or 4 galactic or multigalactic-scale civilization species, on the Kardashev scale of celestial civilization types, consisting of 5 types).
