Hating back

Sometimes I hear something that makes me cock my head, with a huh expression. Probably like how Shimshon looks when I ask him why my package is chewed open at the gate. I’ll explain.

I’m sure many heard growing up “We love the person, but hate the behavior”. Or “Hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is”. I had a discussion with a girlfriend about that a couple of days ago. My opinion has changed. I can see in some situations now where apathy has been a lazy response on my part to a situation where a different emotion would have been more correct and in line. So what brought all this up? A podcast. Lenny Goldberg has a radio show, Jewish Truth Bombs, that I try to catch, he has a lot to say that makes sense to me. This one was no exception. The relevant part is only about 19 minutes or so, the last couple are commercials.

In case you don’t want to listen, I’ll give you the parts I’m pulling from it, but it’s all good. The topic was Purim, and some elements are in it that are often glossed over. Something Comrade X alluded to in the comments on my last column. Lenny points out that in Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) Chapter 3

1 Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven.

2 A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted.

3 A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break and a time to build.

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing.

5 A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

6 A time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away.

7 A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak.

8 A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.

It says there is a time for hate. As much as a time for love, there is a time when hate is the appropriate response. He also points out that we are commanded to kill Amelek

The Torah lists two mitzvahs regarding Amalek:

To obliterate the nation of Amalek (timcheh et zecher Amalek).

To never forget the evil deeds Amalek did (zechor al tishkach)

Had they been wiped out, Haman wouldn’t have been around.

Several centuries later, after Shaul was crowned king, the prophet Shmuel ordered him to fulfill G‑d’s commandment thus:3 “Smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that is his. And have no pity on him; slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

Shaul gathered the Jewish people together and waged war against the Amalekites, slaying the entire nation and destroy­ing their property. However, “he had pity on Agag, and the choicest of the sheep and cattle…,”4 and brought them back with him. Shmuel severely reproached Shaul for this: “Because you have rejected the word of G‑d, He has rejected you as king.”5 Though Shmuel then killed Agag, Agag was able to father a child in the interval between his capture by Shaul and his death. That child was the ancestor of Haman.

Lenny points out Judaism is about knowing when to have mercy, and when to flip the attribute of mercy. That at times, the correct answer is to hate, or be cruel. If you are merciful to the cruel, eventually you will be cruel to the merciful. He says accepting the yoke of heaven is knowing the time for each attribute, and being willing to carry out that task, and that no, sometimes it’s not easy. That if you can’t hate Haman, the way you love Mordachai, if you can’t hate at the proper time, then you are just a nice guy. You’re a nice person, but that has nothing to do with accepting the yoke of the mitzvot. Lenny points out that Shaul didn’t kill Agag, and when Agag saw Shmuel approach he thought the death sentence had been lifted, seeing as how Shmuel looked all sweet and innocent. Shmuel proceeded to cut him into pieces with his sword. Sometimes the appropriate answer is hate. When the first day of self-defense was completed, The King asked Queen Esther “What else would you like?” Does Ester say, oh let’s all get along. Lets go out for supper. Nope, she says let us have another day of vengeance to wipe out the people the wanted to kill them all. And she wanted the 10 sons of Haman’s hung. Publicly. I love Queen Esther.

In the podcast Lenny refers to the attacks in Huwara, in case you haven’t heard, here are some salient points, there’s more info in the article.

Some facts you need to know about the murder of Israeli Jews, Palestinian Arab terrorism and Huwara, because they seem to have escaped the attention of your Western media and the Biden Administration who just met their Palestinian Arab counterparts in Aqaba, Jordan, and arranged to give them more guns while they castigate Israel for responding to increasingly deadly Palestinian Arab violence morally supported by the current Democrat Administration.

1. Palestinian Arab terrorists in the northern Samaria terror hub of Huwara murdered two brothers, Hillel and Yagel Yaniv. The Yaniv brothers were executed in a rain of bullets after the terrorists had rammed their vehicle into them before gunning them down as they sat trapped in their car.

2. The attack was predictable. In the month leading up to their murder, Palestinian Arabs carried out an average of two-three rock and Molotov cocktail attacks a day against Israeli cars in Huwara and on the Gilad route leading through the village.

3. Following the murder of the Jewish brothers, Huwara residents celebrated by handing out sweets. They also held an official firework celebration,

4. Among the main celebrants was the owner of a car and spare parts lot named Ayed Maharab. Maharab is a paroled terrorist who spent five years in Israeli prison. His Facebook page is filled with celebrations of terrorist attacks and of himself holding an AK-47. Maharab published a post following the Yaniv brothers’ murders celebrating the attack.

5. Following the murder of their friends and neighbors, and after seeing the Arab celebration of their murder, a number of young Israelis from surrounding villages entered Huwara and committed acts of vigilante violence. Among other things, they burned Maharab’s car lot. The scenes you saw of burning vehicles was Maharab’s spare parts lot. No building and no individual Arab was attacked or hurt by the aggrieved and angry friends of Hillel and Yagel. The claims of a death were lies.

The appropriate response came from Bezalel Smotrich:

The United Nations today (Thursday) condemned the statement of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that he would like to see the Arab village of Huwara, where two Jewish brothers were murdered on Sunday, “wiped out.”

Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, called Smotrich’s comments “irresponsible” and “unacceptable.”

This was far from the first attack in Huwara.

An inappropriate response came from a moonbat leftist named appropriately enough, Yaya Fink.

Esti Yaniv, whose sons Hillel and Yagel were murdered by a terrorist in the Arab village of Huwara on Sunday, has expressed her horror at the launch of a campaign of support for the residents of Huwara, the initiative of left-winger and Labor Party activist Yaya Fink.

Fink is collecting donations for what he defines as the “Huwara pogrom victims.” The “pogrom” referred to occurred several hours after the murders of the Yaniv brothers, when dozens of Jews converged on Huwara and set fire to cars in scrapyards, also causing fire damage to several buildings. According to uncorroborated Palestinian-Arab accounts, one person lost his life in circumstances that are unclear.

“Every day, I look down at the murderous village of Huwara where the murderer of my sons is still walking free, where they handed out pastries and celebrated after the murder,” Esti Yaniv said. “I was horrified to hear of this dreadful campaign, [launched] a day after many of the residents of Huwara celebrated after the murder of my sons.”

And just a few days later, Terror attack in Tel Aviv: Three people shot, terrorist eliminated Lather, rinse, repeat.

And for those on the left that like to engage in moral relativism, just sit tight. We have millions of illegal aliens in our country now that came from cultures that have a very different notion of what is acceptable and what is not. I’ve noticed that leftist outrage towards Israel will frequently result in a similar situation in America that the tolerant leftist find upsetting. Those that think pastries being handed out in America following the murder of an innocent American citizen is outrageous are fooling themselves.

Lenny notes in his podcast that the arabs aren’t the least concerned about any actions the IDF may take, they view the IDF as no deterrent at all. The Jewish citizens living near by? Them they are scared of. Good.

So let’s take a look at some things in America.

America’s Reichstag Moment

The article starts out talking about the start of WWII, but then gets into January 6th.. I found this very interesting because the writer’s father lived through Kristallnacht.

Let’s fast-forward to the events of January 6th, 2021. Even with the release of 40,000 hours of video from the day, there are many things that we do not know. It has been reported that President Trump suggested that the National Guard be stationed near the Capital because of his planned rally; this request was not acted upon or may have been actively turned down by Nancy Pelosi. The Capitol police, according to the recent interview of former Capitol police officer, Lt. Tarik Johnson by Tucker Carlson, was not briefed or prepared for what was obvious to all

EXCLUSIVE: Rasmussen Poll Results – Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Believe the FBI Has Been Weaponized

Ya think? Duh.

And I haven’t even touched on the hearings going on about Covid, gain of function, the lying about cheap already available cures for it that were disregarded because if they had been put into use Tony Fauxci and his cabal of “doctors” couldn’t get the emergency use license for the experimental gene altering clot shots. The use of taxpayer money to fund gain of function, and Fauxci is still sending your money to Joe Xiden’s boss, China, I do believe. But not to be outdone, Hunter Xiden helped finance the bioweapons labs in Ukraine I think I’ve heard. Man, that would be so scary to have bioweapons labs right next door in Canada or Mexico. I mean seeing as how America handled Covid, what with putting Mom and Pop businesses out, forcing people into medical experiments they didn’t want and changing the definition of the word “vaccine”. Yeah, the way America handles that stuff would be enough to make any government a bit concerned, shall we say.

 

The perfect play swing

My point is this, the current federal government, and some state governments hate us, U.S. The federal law enforcement agencies under the misnamed DOJ, hate us. And I think if I’m intellectually honest with myself, I need to admit it. I’m not saying we can do much different at this point, unless you have a Congress Critter or Senator that is willing to listen, and then ask for the FIB, ATF to be de-funded and dis-banded. At this point to not do so is like voting to keep the brown shirts (and I don’t mean UPS) around. They offer nothing of value to the average law-abiding citizen.

I would maintain the appropriate response to these atrocities is hate. They do hate us, and they are willing to kill us. You could ask Roseanne Boyland or Ashli Babbitt…but.

Just as the idea of fighting back when attacked has been taught out of school children, the notion of appropriate hate is not really in our culture I don’t think. The things the left calls “hate” or “hateful” is usually free speech, or saying something they don’t like. Or giving evidence or showing video that destroys a leftist narrative. The left (demoncrat and RINO) is terrified by the thought of putting information out and allowing people to form their own thoughts and opinions. That is something they can’t abide.

There is a time, when hate is the appropriate response.

The Hidden And The Revealed

So Purim; the holiday where we celebrate the survival of the Jewish nation over the evil wishes of Fauxci and Pfizer the evil Hamen to wipe out the Jewish nation, or everyone depending on the villain you chose for the statement. It’s been said most Jewish holidays can be summed up with “They tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat”. Purim is one of those events in history that remind us of the difference between self-defense as a human right, and self-defense as a privilege. The King had agreed to the wicked Hamen’s request to allow him to kill all the Jews in Persia. He signed a royal decree and sealed it, the decree had been dispatched all over the country. When Hamen was exposed for what he was, and the King was appalled at what was fixin’ to happen he began granting Queen Esther/Hadassah’s requests one after the other. But the fly in the ointment was the decree to kill the Jews. That was a royal decree, signed and sealed and couldn’t be recalled. So what to do? Another royal decree saying the Jews would be allowed to used armed resistance to defend themselves.

Once again the King’s scribes were called, and the new decrees were prepared, this time dictated by Mordechai himself. The documents were immediately dispatched by royal couriers riding on swift steeds to all the governors and princes of the 127 provinces of the Persian Empire, from India to Ethiopia. By these royal decrees, permission was granted to the Jews to gather on the thirteenth day of Adar and defend themselves against their enemies, and to attack and slay all those who would assault them.

Purim is a very different holiday than Hanukkah, or Pesach. In both of those holidays G-d is very obviously present. Meaning frogs raining down is not normal, seas splitting are not normal, it’s obvious, he’s there. Hanukkah, the great victory of a tiny band of Jews committed to freedom and living as G-d had instructed against a mighty army is a big thing. But Purim? Where are the big supernatural miracles? There really aren’t any. Any decent husband (so I’m told) grants their wife’s requests from time to time. Not wanting to see her kinfolk slaughtered because of a command you gave seems a normal thing to me. I mean for one thing it’s going to make for extremely tense marital relations for a long time I would think. The Jews fighting for their lives and winning? That happens. So, in Hanukkah and Pesach G-d’s presence is very much revealed, in Purim, not so much. Nor is his name mentioned at all in the Megelliah (book/story of Esther).

So I’ve been looking at some of the information that is being revealed in just the last couple of weeks. Things that are becoming known that people (evil people) have tried to keep hidden as Hamen tried to keep his real motives hidden. The information may well help people see more accurately the situation of our country, and we as a people are in. Prager U had a question up on Twitter not long ago, “What do you consider the biggest threat to our country”? I answered “CNN and MSNBC believing viewers”.

The Tragicomedy of Lori Lightfoot

Lori Lightfoot becomes the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to lose re-election

Are the people of Chicago finally waking up and rejecting identity politics and seeing the state of their city as a result of falling for them? Are they rejecting the MSM narrative fed to them? I pray so. Beetlejuice has different groups she blames for her loss. Not criminals or Kim Fox of course, or her own policies. Nope, racism. Of course. Apparently she forgot she was a black woman when she initially campaigned and won. So she blames racists. Sleeper cells of MAGA living in Chiraq. Soaring crime rates and a decimated police force had nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.

Purim is a fun holiday and often we dress up in costumes, but my prayer is for those hiding who they truly are behind sweet words that are lies, and attempts to mislead the American people be exposed as Hamen was. May all the masks be ripped off.

Now for the fun stuff.

One of the traditional foods for Purim are Oznei Hamen, Hamen’s ears. Here are fifteen recipes!! In case you’re in a mood for some yummy cookies.

Here’s a version of the Purim story as if it were done on Twitter.

And lastly, while this has nothing to do with Purim, Joe Dan does great videos and in this one there is a clip of Dr. Robert Malone talking about 5th Generation Warfare, and what we’ve been subjected to. As it’s all about who’s concealed, it does kind of apply. Because it is what we’re dealing with. Well, a component of it at least.

So Purim starts Monday night, and I want to wish you all a happy and joyous Purim. May those who seek to destroy us meet the same fate as the wicked Hamen.

Chag Purim Samach

At the close of Hannukah, and other things

After reading the comments on the last column, and different things I’ve listened to, or read the last couple of days, there is one more column left for Hannukah 2022. Again, I have no explanation, it’s just there and I’m sharing it. I promise, this is the last one (I’m pretty sure because this was the last day of Hannukah).

Before the actual battles of Hannukah, which attempted to eradicate the Jewish presence there was the spiritual battle to eradicate the Jewish presence. Not by killing the people, which came later, but by killing Judaism. I probably should have put a trigger warning on this column, so consider this it. Not the first time I’ve grabbed the 3rd rail.

This is where I think we are now. In the part where “The World” tries to eliminate religion, and this time it’s the presence of G-d. I would maintain the world has always tried to eliminate the Jews because they were the ones that were tasked with bringing the knowledge of G-d into the world. As people we have free choice, free will. We can choose to pick the things of pleasure and short term gratification in the world, or we can choose to follow the laws of G-d and his plan for a beautiful world. It’s like looking at architecture plans to me, I don’t read them so I can’t see how they work to make a beautiful building until much of it is in built and in place. But the plans were laid it out all along. Yes, that deck off the 2nd floor bed room sounds like a great idea and like lots of fun, especially when the hot tub was added in, but if the original plans didn’t account for it and the support for it wasn’t there in the plans, it won’t play out well. The same with how choosing what seems like a pleasurable choice at the time, may have consequences. Be it three pieces of fudge truffle cheesecake or a third beer or the junk Hollyweird puts out. But if only good is offered or available, how is that free will? Our fight with our more carnal desires allows us to sharpen our spiritual ones.

The battle today is “The World” against traditional families. A girlfriend and I were texting the other day and she made a comment of something her grandma used to say; as the family goes, so goes the country. I think it takes about 1 second to see that Hollyweird and mainstream media have had the traditional (according to G-d’s plan) family under attack for years. We’ve never had such gender confusion in our children, we’ve not seen women discriminated against openly for years until the trans-woman became far more important that stock from the factory woman. For evidence I only need point to the man swimming as a woman Lea Thomas because he’s such a loser he couldn’t succeed as man so he chose and easier way. When women have showed up to protest against things like men in women’s changing rooms they’ve been physically attacked by trans women. And apparently that’s fine because there is no outrage. But their fight isn’t with me, it’s with G-d.

I became suspicious of the sudden switch of the media from covid covid covid death death death vax vax vax to Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine very early on, because it was following the same pattern. As I’ve mentioned more than once, the citizens of the Donbas voted to rejoin Russia with darn good reason, more than once they’ve voted like that. And while “The World” and the U.S. media simper on about rigged elections I think the coverage of the faux elections in Arizona and the resulting lawsuits should pretty much stamped paid to any credibility to that claim. They could care less about the honesty of elections. The Donbas voted with paper ballots into clear cubes so people could see what was put in. I realize counting is a question, but monitors on the ground have said it was run better than U.S. elections. I know, that doesn’t take much these days. So is a first grade raffle. Run by the students. We’re coming back to this shortly.

And now Americans struggle to heat and eat and survive in the global warming ice freezer.

Bob F., I’m trying to just put quotes in italics instead of labeling them as quotes, maybe the font won’t go grey.

“A war with mother nature”: the winter storm which hits the United States recalls the “1977 blizzard”

For the moment 32 dead are to be deplored in 8 states and the authorities fear a heavier toll in the future.

Tens of thousands of Americans were without power this Christmas Eve weekend.

Rescuers fear that some may be trapped in their vehicle.

The Governor of New York State compared the climatic situation in which the country finds itself with that experienced during the devastating “Blizzard” of 1977. In her speech, Kathy Hochul called on her citizens to fight one more day against this cold mortal.

“We are at war.

It’s a war with mother nature,” insisted the Governor.

No, you stupid cow, it’s citizens being attacked by bad leftist policies. US Utilities Impose Blackouts, Issue Warnings Over Deep Freeze Power Grid Strain

A number of U.S. utility companies called on customers to conserve electricity due to frigid weather on Saturday and Sunday.

Con Edison, which serves the New York City metropolitan area, asked its 1.1 million natural gas, 3.5 million electric, and other customers in New York City to conserve power. Temperatures in the Big Apple plunged to about 15 degrees F overnight on Saturday and Sunday morning.

So, how are those windmills and solar panels from China that the Biden crime regime are trying to force us into working out? Oh, it says, 32 dead, so far. I’m truly fearful for working families, commuters, the elderly and people on fixed income. And obviously, don’t travel in bad weather without extra warm gear in the car.

People freezing to death in their cars. NEVER drive in places like this without trunk gear that includes serious wool from head to toe, and serious sleeping bags in the trunk. For every person we read about who died, a lot more will have lost body-parts to frostbite. Slowly freezing to death is one of the worst ways to go.

War with Mother Nature? I’ll pass. Live with Mother Nature — get 100% wool, and down sleeping bags if you can afford. The best warm-gear is still made by Mother Nature and cannot be mass produced so costs a little more, but is worth it.~~ Michael Yon

The other thing that I think is going to come into play as well as the frigid weather, and decreased fuel availability and purposefully damaged supply chain (Pete Butt-edge-edge’s racist highways are being destroyed along with his other policies) that will lead to a shortage of needed medicine, fuel and food, is people’s immune systems.

The more you’ve been injected, the weaker your immune system is. But that’s not the only threat our specie faces from this military project called the experimental gene therapy injections.

VAERS Shows a 4070% Increase in Miscarriages and Stillbirths Since mRNA Roll-out.

As the Greek-Syrian empire forbid the teaching of Judaism, circumcision and observance of Shabbat and festivals so it couldn’t be passed on to the children of the next generation, today’s Greek-Syrians are preventing children. Another way of winning the war without firing a shot, just injecting one. It’s “safe and effective”. Their lord and savior Fauxci says so.

Censorship goes way back

https://twitter.com/thechiefnerd/status/1607435870164123648

Which brings me to my next point. Religion. As we discussed in my last column, there are woke in every brand of religion, and we discussed Judaism’s. But Christianity has their woke pastors as well. Someone sent me a meme of a “Woke Pastor” costume for halloween with white skinny jeans, I think a gold chain and maybe some CDs and a Starbucks cup with a picture of some kind of goddess on the front. I don’t think I saved the meme though. In the war for Independence, it was the Black Robe regiment that helped win the war. This is well worth listening to at about 10 minutes long.

Many of our nation’s laws came from G-d’s law, and woke spiritual leaders of every brand ignore and dismiss that. How are they fit to lead and teach? Our rights come from G-d, the politicians are to follow the Constitution which enumerates them and is to protect them, it doesn’t bestow them. G-d did. How are there to be good, healthy and moral families when the spiritual leaders as well as elected ones let us down and in fact attempt to deceive?

So back to Ukraine and Russia. My heart hurts for the Ukrainian people. They have been betrayed in the deepest sense of the word by so many.

Ukraine has been a money laundering operation for demoncrats and corrupt republican politicians for years. The CIA arranged regime change in Ukraine under Barry Sotero, and the U.S. has bio-weapons labs there that are funded by taxpayer dollars while they most assuredly do not want taxpayers to know what is going on in them. Zelensky is locking up political opponents, shutting down news media critical of him, shutting down and banning churches and their leaders and seizing their properties and demoncrats and worthless republicans jump for joy and call this democracy. Tells you about their mindset. All done with out tax money no less. The politicians of all nations and brands are more than willing to fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood.

I find I often get news that is pertinent from other countries rather than American sources, so these next couple of sound clips come from Israel.

First, Zelenksy doesn’t take this “war” seriously. Oh yes, he takes the money, seriously, he takes lots and lots of American taxpayer dollars shelled out by human pieces of excrement like the murder turtle, Roy Blunt and Jerry Moron. Money taxpayers won’t have to pay for heat, food, or fuel. Money we won’t be spending on our border, because we are spending in Ukraine. Money we don’t have to pay our National Guard soldiers, because we are giving it to Ukraine. This war time situation is so serious, that Zelensky did an episode of Letterman, in Ukraine. But I’ll let you listen to part of this episode of “Lighten Up”. I’m trying to start it at 18:50 seconds into the show. The relevant part only goes to about 23:30, so not that long. But worth listening to their take.

So, how’s Ukraine handling their war? And this is just till November of last year.

Chronicle of undeclared Ukrainian aggression against NATO.

1. March 2 – Ukrainian S-300 air defense system destroyed a Romanian MiG-21 fighter. The pilot is dead.

2. March 2 – Ukrainian air defense shot down a Romanian military transport helicopter Mi-8, which flew out to look for a MiG-21 fighter shot down by Ukraine.

3. March 3 – Estonian bulk carrier Helt was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Odessa. Four people are missing.

4. March 10 – Ukrainian UAV Tu-141 “Swift” attacked Zagreb. Luckily, no one died.

5. March 13 – Ukrainian Volkssturm shot down the car of an American journalist from the New York Times, Brent Reno, in the Irpen region, who, according to Iranian intelligence services, worked as a CIA officer in Iraq.

6. September 9 – a Romanian minesweeper was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine near Constanta. Luckily, there were no fatalities.

7. November 9 – A Turkish boat was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Turkey. Luckily, no one died.

8. November 15 – The Ukrainian S-300 air defense system attacked Poland, destroying 2 Polish citizens and a tractor trailer.

Under the guise of a war with Russia, Ukraine is waging a hybrid war against NATO!

Which bring us to my distrust of the attacks on Russia and Putin early on. For one, I’ve heard from more than one person that Putin has been decent (the comment good was used a couple of time) for the Jews. I have no personal knowledge, so that’s hearsay, but it’s hearsay from people that personally know. Human piece of excrement Lindsey Graham came flat out and said the war in Ukraine is about deposing Putin and regime change in Russia. No mention of what happens when someone else, and possibly less stable than Putin gains control of all those nukes.

You know, it’s fascinating. The Xiden regime is so worried about Israel electing what is suppose to be a right wing government. They’ve even tried to forbid certain Israeli politicians (whom I happen to like) from serving in the government. I guess they are afraid they might allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. Something which the courts have said is legal. The Xiden regime claims they are afraid Jews praying where the Holy Temple once stood, where G-d calls us to pray, will start a war. But the Xiden regime has no problem poking that big furry nuclear clad Russian bear directly by attacks on their pipeline or indirectly through their CIA puppet Zelensky.

But why? Why these attacks on Russia? Again, another Israeli podcast. This one covers some Hanukkah history you may (or not) have heard before, and of course it’s fascinating. But I especially think one of the comments made in the podcast have the answer to my question. It involves Christianity more than Judaism really, and Russia.

I’m trying to start this at 42:46 into the show.

This actually makes sense in a way to me. There has to be another reason other than “Putin bad”. Look, there’s lots of bad rulers out there. I’m sure many of them are supported by U.S. and put in place by the FIB and the CIA. But apparently, Russia is Christian, at least more so than many other nations. Is this what’s behind “The World” turning against Russia? We are in the spiritual battle of Hanukkah where the general shows up in Modi’in and demands they sacrifice an unclean animal on their alter. The spiritual battle before Mattias picks up his sword and says “Oh HELLinized NO”. The Judah battle came after.

REBEL! Fight back! Have strong, healthy loving families. Raise them with the principles of your faith, raise them to understand, not just recite strong conservative values. Think twice before you send them off to the communist creation centers known as college and university. Observe and love your family Shabbat/Sabbath. Pigpen, I have thought much about your comments on my last column. My idea of marriage was always a partnership. Someone with whom you had common goals, beliefs and principles, a moral compass if you will. Someone who picks up your weak points and you shore up theirs. Someone who can (though I’m sure it doesn’t always work out this way) be a safe port in the storm called life. Someone you want at your back. Your message was so beautiful, inspiring and clear. May G-d bless you and your family, even more. The dating advice my cousin gave me was “Pick someone you want at your back during the zombie apocalypse.” He said after seeing his wife at the range, he was convinced he had chosen well. Actually his advice isn’t far off or bad.

In these times, when we’ve been betrayed by so many institutions that should have had our backs, I just think about this meme I got this morning. A tip of my Stetson to Mike.

When the government says you don’t need a gun….

Y.B., you’re more than welcome, it is my honor and pleasure. Just know that there will never be enough words or emotion to express the gratitude I have for you and your family.

And on the Second Day of Hannukah the NY Times gave to me

And the despicable NY Times with it’s stellar record of printing all the news that’s fit to print seems to have an odd idea of what is fit to print. One that I suspect honest, decent Americans might differ with.

For instance, here’s what they choose to ignore. Back before Ukraine was “cool”. I guess they didn’t know how handy money laundering for demoncrats was yet.

How ‘The New York Times’ Helped Hide Stalin’s Mass Murders in Ukraine

How The New York Times Contributed To Ukraine’s ‘Bitter Harvest’ In The 1930s This one is all about the media.

Far from the only atrocity the NY Slimes chose to ignore of course.

The New York Times Downplayed The Holocaust

How the NYT Missed the Story of the Holocaust While It Was Happening

Gee, looks like they are still covering up genocides. Well, with the Slimes, I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh what?

NYT Cover-up of Two Genocides: Stalin’s Famine In the Ukraine and the COVID Vaccine Holocaust

So what does the NY Times see fit to print? Ahh, a Hannukah present!

A Hannukah crossword from the slimes

I’m still waiting for the ADL to explain why this isn’t anti-semitic and tell people we’re being ridiculous. And even if it is anti-semitic it’s Donald Trump’s fault.

But you know what? This is from a public Hannukiah lighting tonight. The Hannukiah has 9 branches, one for each of the 8 nights, plus the shamash, the servant candle used to light the others. The Menorah in The Temple had 7 branches.

Rabbi gives a short talk to open up

This is the Mayor Lighting the servant (shamash) candle. Two other candles are because it’s the second night of Hannukah.

The Mayor lights it up!

Then the Fire Department began to drop little Hannukiahs on parachutes! Is this cool or what?

Look at those adorable little parachutes!

Then they commenced with the gelt drop! Gelt are chocolate coins, they can be used to play sevivon/dreidel when you gamble. Look to the left side of the picture, got them mid-flight!

Here comes the gelt
Chocolate!

So you know what NY Times? Our G-d stepped in and with his mighty arm gave the Maccabees victory, Judaism survived. We’re still here, so stuff it!

Hannukah Times

We are living in Hannukah times. Today in school rather than learning actual American history, children are taught the 1619 nonsense, or anything bad about America, whether true or not that the woke teacher decides to shove down their gullets. Merrick Garland’s son-in-law makes his money selling critical race theory books to schools. I guess this would explain why parents who don’t want their children being taught they will never succeed in life because of their skin color are labeled terrorists. Math? Nope that’s too hard for blacks and Hispanics so standards are lowered so it will make rotten teachers look acceptable. Science? Trust the science? HAHAHAHAHAHA, no one is ever believing that old canard again or probably trusting much in the way of the medical industrial complex or the pharmaceutical industry again either. Nor should they. One commercial on TV is for a pill, five minutes later it’s for a lawyer advertising to represent you if you’ve been harmed by it. “Safe and Effective” is destined to be a punch line on late night TV if there are ever comedy shows on it again some day. I’m guessing patriotism in school these days is as dead as the trust level in the federal government after the #TwitterFiles stories have come out. Not to mention the CIA involvement in the JFK assassination. Our bodies and our children’s bodies no longer belong to us or the parents, according to the government of some countries. With the vaxx or be fired, vaxx or no organ transplant it’s been made clear we’ve been sold out to the medical industrial complex. And tragically in addition to the corrupt FDA and CDC pushing the death dart on innocent people including children it was clear that those agencies have been corrupted and captured beyond repair. Or belief. The only people that believe them are getting their 7th booster and still wearing 3 masks. And now the blood supply. Twice recently parents very reasonably asked for their infants to be given safe unvaxxed blood during surgery. Both parents lined up safe, unvaxxed compatible blood donations for their infants. In New Zealand; New Zealand government tries to seize guardianship of baby after parents demand unvaccinated blood for surgery they did seize the baby and did the surgery. Despite the parents having 20 donors lined up, the hospital refused to use them. They haven’t told the parents if they used contaminated blood or clean but so far the baby is still alive. In America it didn’t turn out so well for the baby. HOSPITAL HOMICIDE: Newborn baby DIES from “huge blood clots” following pre-surgery transfusion of covid vaccine-tainted blood This one the parents also had clean blood that had been donated for the baby, following all the hospital rules. They hospital “couldn’t find it”, so they gave the baby contaminated blood. And then proceed to delete records. Some stories I’ve seen said they’ve upped the ante saying they didn’t treat him.

Baby Alex was born with a 95 percent survivable congenital heart defect as well as anemia, which required a blood transfusion. Since a close friend of the family had previously died after getting injected for the Fauci Flu, Alex’s parents specifically asked for clean blood to go into his body.

A member of the family’s church who is both unvaccinated and a blood type match donated the blood to Sacred Heart, which agreed to use it in the transfusion. However, when it came time to do the procedure, the hospital claims it “lost” the pure blood sample, after which staff members proceeded to give Baby Alex blood from the general pool.

The baby developed a blood clot which didn’t respond to anti-coagulant therapy. If you’ve seen some of those blood clots they fish out of people that’s kind of understandable. They aren’t really blood. Unvaccinated Blood Is Now in Very High Demand

A growing number of people in need of blood transfusions are requesting blood that comes from people who haven’t received COVID-19 shots

Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole compared the current unknowns regarding “vaccinated blood” with HIV-tainted blood that was used for transfusions in the 1980s

Directed donations and autologous donations, or self-donation, are options for receiving blood free of mRNA, but in both cases you’ll need your doctor to submit a Red Cross Special Collections Order form

A “Safe Blood” donation campaign has also been formed to match blood donors and recipients who have not had COVID-19 shots

It’s unknown whether blood donated by people who’ve received mRNA COVID-19 shots poses a risk to those who receive it. A growing number of people aren’t willing to take any chances, however, and are requesting blood that comes from unvaccinated patients.

In the leftist media and schools they’re doing their best to confuse children as to their gender, and in kindergarden and grade schools children are being sexually groomed. Guess that explains why a bunch of kids can’t read now. Which got time to learn about reading when there’s a drag queen in class to hand out brownies and teach the tiny tots about butt plugs?

If they can rip every shred of certainty out of the kids, they will be so much easier to manipulate because they have nothing to hold on to as true, as certain, as real. They will become as easy to manipulate as your average college student.

In the leftist world

So how does this hot mess stack up against Hannukah times? Well, in 174 BCE (3586), Antiochus IV ruled the region. He wanted to be called Epiphanes, meaning “the gods’ beloved”. We called him Epimanes “madman”, He was harsh, cruel corrupt and did nothing for the land of Israel or the people there. Ok, lining up so far as leadership I’d say. Israel was ruled by the Syrian-Greek style which meant Judaism was pretty much outlawed. What weren’t we allowed to observe? Jewish worship was forbidden, and the scrolls of the Law were confiscated and burned. Sabbath rest, circumcision and the dietary laws were prohibited under penalty of death. Many brave Jews refused, preferring death. Meanwhile the Hellenized (assimilated) Jews were peachy fine with all this and were on board with getting rid of such outdated “customs”. Obviously they must not have considered the word of G-d to be taken seriously, right? So parents had no control over how their children were raised. No Jewish education, no circumcision, no word on tattoos or gender reassignment that I could find. This gave rise to the attempt to secretly teach some of Judaism and Torah using the Dreidel or Sevivon. What about control over our own bodies. Yeah, not always so much. Part of the start of the Maccabean war was sparked by Hannah, the sister of the brothers. Seems the custom of the time was when a woman (or young girl) married, she had to spend her wedding night with a Greek governor, because they couldn’t get women to sleep with them any other way I guess. Actually this last link talks about each of the five brothers. Only Judah was Maccabee.

The law at the time required every Jewish woman to spend her first night as a married woman with the Greek governor. This decree went on for a while, causing many women to either not marry or to endure this horrible violation. On Chanah’s wedding night, she spiritedly persuaded her brothers to stand up for justice and to rid themselves of the depraved governor.38

The Maccabees resolved to take on the Greeks, stormed the governor’s palace, killed him and wreaked havoc in his camp. This incident served as another spark that catapulted the already unsteady military situation into a full-on war

Yep, bodies not our own and the Greek version of various and sundry politicians and denizens of Hollyweird.

No worship or Shabbat? Hello Covid lock-downs.

Yeah, I’d say we’re there. I could come up with plenty more ways but I want to touch on a couple of other things.

Judah. Maccabee, the meaning has a few possibilities. Either Hammer, for his ferocity in battle or his preferred weapon. Or as an acronym for Mi kamokha ba’elim Adonai, “Who among the gods is like you, O Adonai?” Which was the battle cry. The family was called Hasmonean. The link above gives each of the other sons surnames, even though they all became know as the Maccabees.

This kerfluffle started when the army of Antiochus IV came to Modi’in to try to force the group there to sacrifice to an idol. Mattias the priest would not betray G-d. He said “Not only NO, but HELLenized NO”! A Hellenized (assimilated ADL type Jew) stepped forward and said “Ah, it’s no big deal, I’ll do it”. Then Mattias said “The HELLenized you say!! Over your dead body!” And he killed him. I love a happy ending. The family realized the ATF and the IRS Seleucid army was fixin to descend on them and they took to the hills. Those lads knew how to fight a guerrilla war, until enough had joined them to fight battles head on.

Which brings me to another one of my what seems to have become Hannukah traditions. Posting Judah Maccabee’s speech.

1 Maccabees Chapter 3

10 Then Apollonius* gathered together the Gentiles, along with a large army from Samaria, to fight against Israel.

11 When Judas learned of it, he went out to meet him and struck and killed him. Many fell wounded, and the rest fled.

12 They took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius and fought with it the rest of his life.

13 But Seron, commander of the Syrian army, heard that Judas had mustered an assembly of faithful men ready for war.

14 So he said, “I will make a name for myself and win honor in the kingdom. I will wage war against Judas and his followers, who have despised the king’s command.”

15 And again a large company of renegades advanced with him to help him take revenge on the Israelites.

16 When he reached the ascent of Beth-horon,* Judas went out to meet him with a few men.

17 But when they saw the army coming against them, they said to Judas: “How can we, few as we are, fight such a strong host as this? Besides, we are weak since we have not eaten today.”

18 But Judas said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;

19 for victory in war does not depend upon the size of the army, but on strength that comes from Heaven.

20 With great presumption and lawlessness they come against us to destroy us and our wives and children and to despoil us;

21 but we are fighting for our lives and our laws.

22 He* will crush them before us; so do not fear them.”

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly upon Seron and his army, who were crushed before him.

24 He pursued Seron down the descent of Beth-horon into the plain. About eight hundred* of their men fell, and the rest fled to the land of the Philistines.

Hannukah refers to dedication, as in after the Hasmonean army captured The Temple, it was in shambles and profaned having had pigs sacrificed on the alter. They set about restoring and rededicating it. Which brings me to miracles, one of my favorite subjects.

There are several miracles actually. They found a small jar of oil, enough for one night. There is a tradition that is what Jacob went back across the river to fetch when he and his family left Laban’s fine company and hospitality. I find that miraculous. It was still in the Temple with the seal of the High Priest. That’s pretty miraculous too. Enough oil for 1 night lasted for 8 nights, the amount of time to make a new batch of kosher oil for the Menorah. That’s miraculous, 7 of them as there was enough for 1 night to start with. But there is still an 8th miracle in there. Rather than saying “Well nuts, lighting for one night isn’t going to do anything. We should hang on to this, we don’t want to light for just one night and then have to wait 7 more”. The miracle was even though it seemed pointless, even though it seemed like there was no purpose in doing it, they went ahead and could not bear to delay putting off the Mitzvah of lighting the Menorah. They couldn’t wait to begin to shed light to drive away the darkness. And that’s how I think I should be. While I may not be able to right situations, or fix everything, I must do what I can to kindle my flame and drive out the darkness I can. Even though sometimes it seems like that is beyond me, with his help, it’s not. It’s why I’m here. It’s why we all are here in the place, at this time. Apologies Esther. We aren’t called upon the change THE WORLD, we are called upon to change ourselves and the world around us, in whatever ways G-d puts to us. Look at the impact one man, Elon Musk is having. Is he a certified good guy? As far as free speech he is. The flow of information is going to have an impact I believe.

And lastly I will share a deep secret with you I learned today from my Rabbi; why do we eat all those fried foods at Hannukah? Sufganyiot and Latkes? Well, in contrast to the ideal of outward beauty held by the Greeks and Syrians, Judaism emphasizes truth and moral purity, as commanded by G‑d in the holy Torah. The Jewish people could never give up their faith in G‑d and accept the idol-worship of the Syrians. The Greeks were all about the body, naked exercise at the gym, worshiping the physical and the spiritual was ignored.

The Jews rebelled and said “NO WAY, are we going to be like that! Pass me the sour cream for my latke please and I’ll have the lemon sufganiyah!”

Dreidel Dog, Moshe the Mensch on a Bench and the Zebra from Zion. Brad’s Hannukiah in the background
Because I can never see this enough.

I’ve added the Zebra from Zion to my Moshe the Mensch on a bench and Dreidel dog this year. Yes, I think I’m done. The Hannukiah in the back ground was Brad’s. I treasure it every day, and bless Jo Ann for giving it to me but I especially treasure it this time of year. It is the most amazing Hannukiah I’ve ever seen.

It’s about spreading the light, no matter how little oil it feels like we have.

First night of Hannukah is tomorrow night.

חג חנוכה שמח

Happy Hannukah!

Ye Yay or Nay?

A girlfriend sent me some very interesting material today, that I see as tying in together. This is a movie kind of column so I’ll wait while you get popcorn and a cup of coffee.

It seems a singer called Kanye West made some statements that are being called “antisemitic”. Well, that’s a bad thing in my world. She sent links to a couple of news stories so I checked them out.

‘I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what?’ As Kanye West taunts Adidas, calls grow for German sportswear giant to cut ties

“I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what? Now what?” Kanye is seen asking in a short video clip from the Oct. 16 episode of Drink Champs, a hip-hop community podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, which has since been taken down.

And ‘Kanye is right’ banner hung over 405 Freeway in LA adds to rising antisemitism fears

“So this group is very well known to ADL and to law enforcement. It’s a group that peddles their hate in this community throughout Southern California and across this nation. They use various tactics like you see with the leaflets, the banner that was dropped on the 405. Just earlier this year, they drove a bus through Beverly Hills. These propagandists, their goal is to provoke a response, to terrorize the communities they’re in. This time, particularly with the banner drop on the 405, however, it’s different,” explained Jeffrey Abrams, Anti-Defamation League Regional Director. “These hate groups are now leveraging the anti-Semitic tropes that Kanye West has been peddling on social media, on interviews, broadcast interviews. And so these groups that peddle in this hate are now leveraging Kanye, not just Kanye’s imprimatur, but that as well, his millions of followers and his business partners, companies like The Gap and like Adidas.”

The second article comes complete with a picture of about 4 activists on a bridge doing the Heil Hooter thingy straight arm salute. Geez, how very FIB… although I’m perfectly willing to admit in CA there could be at least 4 idiots as in the recall election Newsome rather than Larry Elder won the spot of Governor.

But what really made me start thinking “Wait a minute….what’s up with this?” was when I noticed one of the tweets urging Adidas to dump West was made by the disgraced Alexander Vindman who was part of the botched impeachment. Another thing that makes me skeptical is the ADL is involved. The ADL is far more a progressive political machine than an actual “Anti-defamation league”. You may have noticed this especially during President Trump’s term.

The ADL’s mea culpa must be followed by action

Since the Anti-Defamation League’s founding in 1913, its declared mission has been “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people.” Thus, many were concerned when Jonathan Greenblatt took over as CEO of the esteemed organization in 2015: While his resume was long on efforts for social good, including a stint in former President Barack Obama’s Office of Social Innovation, it conspicuously lacked positions combating antisemitism or serving a Jewish cause. Most of all, they worried that Greenblatt would fail to check his well-established liberal political leanings at the door of the nonpartisan organization and, in turn, inadequately address the new wave of Jew-hatred growing on the Left.

It took little time for Greenblatt to prove his skeptics correct; it took much longer for the crisis to reach the point at which his silence was no longer tenable. Writing in Newsweek earlier this month, Greenblatt finally conceded what should have been among his first priorities, saying that it’s “time to admit” that the Left has an antisemitism problem. His real admission was that he had been reluctant, and thus inexcusably tardy, to recognize what was already obvious to everyone not compromised by ideological blinders.

The ADL’s Islamophobia hypocrisy

The blame for this poisonous atmosphere can be put on the unorthodox behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as the “resistance” to his administration. But it was particularly discouraging to see the ADL dive into an argument largely driven by the impulse of the liberal opposition to oppose anything Trump does or wants. The stand of a group that has its primary brief—monitoring and opposing anti-Semitism and supporting Israel—provided nonpartisan cover to the Democrats.

The excuse for the ADL’s position was their claim that Pompeo was an anti-Muslim bigot. As the leading Jewish civil-rights group, it would be on firm ground in opposing the elevation of any individual to high office on those grounds. The only problem was that the accusation was not merely false, but exposed the ADL to charges of hypocrisy.

Then there is this PayPal’s Unholy Alliance With ADL Opens the Door to a Massive Security Breach. It makes me nervous when a group with a clear bias toward the communist left is the one calling the balls and strikes on what is hate, and then when it affects my finances? What the heck! Thanks for the article Y.B. Ben Avraham 😉

The other thing that makes me suspicious of this outrage is the timing. See Kanye or Ye as he wants to be called now just did an interview with….Tucker Carlson! Gasp! And worse, he said things like men should be responsible parents, they should raise their kids with values and aborting babies is a bad thing. Very right-wing racist stuff! If he doesn’t watch himself he like Larry Elder, will end up being the “black face of white supremacy”. Yeah, Larry Elder got called that. And worse, worse I say, is he openly supported President Trump! According to Beijing Biden that means he’s not even black! Here’s the whole terrifying interview.

Well, that didn’t take long, the original video disappeared, so here is another link from another site. This is one of those where someone reacts but they do show the whole interview I think. So.

Now, do I think he could have said some things a bit better? Oh HECK yes! There is no doubt. Do I think he’s thinking is a bit messed up? Oh HECK yes. It seems to me, that since large sectors of the entertainment industry is controlled by Jews, that means the whole thing is. And some of what he says is too close to the old “The Jews rule the world and control everything and they are out to screw you” canard. Ironic since I sent this message to my beloved Zehut group today in response to a message sent that Australia is moving/has moved their embassy from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.

You know for a people that control the world, we’re doing something wrong. If we rule the world why are we apologizing and having to explain every time an Israeli citizen or soldier defends their life or the lives of others? Why is our acknowledgment of Jerusalem as our Capitol not just accepted? Why do we care what the world says when we take measures to deal with a group within our country that seeks it’s destruction?

We have just got to get a better grip on this ruling the world business!

/sarcasm.

But this kind of thinking just absolutely sets my teeth on edge. I get where he’s coming from, he’s looking at the concerts he’s losing, his new line of “White lives matter” t-shirts are going to need a new manufacture and he sees it all as coming from one group of people. Whether or not those people are actually practicing Judaism I have no clue. But it seems as though he is saying all these people are out to ruin me and they are all Jewish, so.

I don’t recall this kind of outrage from any of those people when Ilhan Omar said “It’s all about the Benjamins baby” when referring to Jewish interests. Or basically a bunch of what Rashida Tliar says, or what…. You get the idea. And worse, no one has replaced Omar in politics or Tliar. And presumably they have more influence on what happens that Kanye West.

But here’s another West interview on something called Drink Champs where he talks about the offending tweet, spelling matters Kanye, DEFCON, not Death Con, but I suspect he’s very aware of that now. I know it’s long, but it seems the relevant part is right at the front. Like I said, some of what he says I have real problems with, but I’m suspicious that some of the vitriol and attempts to cancel his platform may just well be related to some of the other messaging he’s sending out. Messaging that should be heard, and is righteous and that the left will most assuredly hate. It probably doesn’t help that he wants to buy Parler. Because free speech is something the left is trying to shut down at all costs.

And, as if to prove my point, that video is now available. So I’ve found you another link. They really are trying to shut this debate down.

So, Ye, Yay or nay, I’ll let you decide.

It was on September 19, 1940 that Captain Witold Pilecki used faked identity documents to be arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Yes, I’m late with this. Bear did a wonderful story on him, that’s the link, and apparently a group called Sabaton must be reading Bear’s columns.

Becaaaauuse did you know there’s a song for him? There is. It’s the second video. This first is a bit more background, not so much anything Bear hasn’t told us, and them apparently, but they do have more pictures of him. Captain Pilecki, not Bear.

And the song written about Captain Pilecki. As Bear said, total badass. I know this song is listed in the comments under Bear’s column, but as it’s the anniversary of his entry into Auschwitz it seemed like the date should be remembered for him.

Random thoughts on Justice

Dr. Simone Gold has been released from the gulag a couple of weeks early. She read a speech about freedom on January 6th at the Capitol. Apparently the poor dear actually believed it would be true in the Xiden crime junta America as well. Well, the corrupt judge (he went to law school with her and didn’t recuse himself) showed her, off to prison she went. There are still POWs in America being tortured and denied human rights.

This is going to be another one of those columns where 3 or 4 things happened within a day or so of each other, and all hit me as tied together, at least to my mind. Including Dr. Gold’s release, she’s a real ER doctor as opposed to “Dr.”/nurse/minder Jill, by the way. As well as a lawyer.

The first was I just finished a series I got from The Great Courses called WWII: Up Close and Personal. I thought the teacher Professor Keith Huxen did a very good job.

The second was I re-watched an episode of “Twilight Zone”, Death’s Head Revisted. I watched it the first time when fellow writer Y.B. Ben Avraham sent a link to it awhile back. It stuck with me. It’s a bit less than 30 minutes. And after the end of my 4 disc class, I just wanted to see it again.

Death’s-Head Revisited (Dir. Don Medford, 1961) from CAJ on Vimeo.

The ending is what hit me. Without giving too much away, there are ways G-d can arrange justice. Even people that think they have safely gotten away with crimes most heinous. I like my justice to be clear, and I want to see it. Sometimes it doesn’t happen that way. Sometimes it comes later than I would like, but as I am a mere mortal with a spark of G-d in me, I’m learning to let it go. It’s not always easy. If you don’t want to watch it all, start at about 20 minutes and 35 seconds in.

So, I don’t think I’ll give so very much away if I tell you the setting for the episode is a concentration camp.

The next two bits go together. Think about the conditions of what living in a concentration camp would be like.

And this is what Germany is facing this winter.

European commission to propose price cap on Russian gas; some EU countries wary over the move | WION

The EU thinks they are going to hurt Putin by putting on a price cap…HAHAHAHA. And make up the needed fuel with renewables….solar power, for Germany, in winter?

UK and Europe are Facing Soaring Energy Costs; 70,000 Czechs Take to The Streets in Protest

I understand from one of my favorite war correspondents that OBI (Like Home Depot) is selling firewood. It’s very expensive and not much of it. You can’t go cut your own, you need a permit for that, or hire someone with one to cut it for you.

Germany Powering Down

‘The situation is more than dramatic’: Germany is rationing hot water and turning off the lights to reduce natural gas consumption

Germans warned of further food price hikes

That should be enough for you to get the idea, basically, they’re doing it to themselves. No one made them do this, it was a choice.

Which led me to this random thought, The Battle of Michmash, in the Bible. Shmuel 1 Chapter 14.

But here’s an interesting tidbit in the story.

For some time, the Philistines had been extending their rule over large parts of Israel. The Jews were paying a yearly tax to the Philistines, who were represented in Israel by a governor. This representative of the Philistine government did not allow the Jews to possess any armaments, for fear of a rebellion. Even farm implements that had to be sharpened had to be taken to the Philistine over Lords who, for a price, used to sharpen them. Not a sword was to be found in all Israel. Only Saul and his son Jonathan, possessed this priceless weapon. Saul was determined to expel the Philistines from the Hebrew territory.

The more things change….right?

But here’s the part that I think applied, you think the Israelites have no way to win this? There’s Jonathan and his armor bearer with one sword among them. I’ll skip to the juicy part.

As soon as the patrol spotted Jonathan and his adjutant, they ordered them to approach. Jonathan attacked, and the patrol of twenty men was completely annihilated. This bold act struck terror into the hearts of the Philistines, who suddenly trembled at the prospect of meeting the Jews on the battlefield. Overcome by this unnatural fear, they attacked each other blindly, throwing their camp into pandemonium.

The Philistines decimated themselves in battle. Huh.

Ok, so this has nothing to do with the column, but I think it’s interesting and you might also. Knowing Bible history can save your squad. How a British general used biblical tactics in battle against the Ottoman army.

This last bit comes from the 4th disc of my class from the last lesson on the disc. It’s from a letter a woman in a death camp wrote for her son to carry to her husband. Otto Dov Kulka, was the son and he passed away in January of last year. I think it’s worth typing it out what professor Huxen said about it for you.

In it she raged against what she knew was the impending death of her innocent son, in the next sentence she had called for revenge and justice for the murder of innocents that would have to be achieved in another transcendent sphere of thought, culture, religion or history. In documenting their memories the holocaust survivors who became its historians bequeathed to future generations a history that, even if the written word falls short of conveying their experience, it can be forgotten only at our own peril.

I found this very profound, and it was what tied the stories together for me.

And in a way, it gives me hope as I think about the innocent men and women being held in a gulag for nothing more than walking inside the capitol after the doors were opened from the inside and police waved them in for some of the cases. It gives me hope as President Puddin’ head rails against half the country, or more, against his nazi back ground of blood red and black with the military standing behind him. For nothing more than the “crime” of daring to think differently than his demonic demoncrat party. The party that celebrates mutilating children and trying their best to push religion and G-d out of the country and public discourse. It gives me hope as they force an experimental gene therapy shot into unwilling bodies even as it’s deadly side effects are becoming more evident every day. Innocent people have been cut off from family and friends, they’ve lost jobs, and some have lost their lives in this totalitarian state. It gives me hope for justice.

I cry out to G-d for justice.

The Power of One, Yom Yerushaylim and Memorial Day

One person, what can just one person do?

If you’re border patrol agent Jacob Albarado, you can borrow a shotgun from the barber who is giving you a haircut and go save your wife and daughter who are being held hostage at Uvalde’s Robb elementary school. And you’ll be saving a whole lot of other people in the process as well.

If you’re Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, you spend time keeping your county safe and crime free and then training others to protect school children. It’s interesting that after the FL legislators passed a bill putting additional safety measures in place that Broward County, home of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, was the last school to put them in place. But Sheriff Judd speaks straightforward, and hopefully his flame will light many candles.

If you’re one woman with a pistol at a party in Charleston W.Va. you can save many lives.

And these are all amazing things, G-d can use any person anywhere to accomplish a miracle. But sometimes the miracles are so earth shattering, so ground breaking that normal sane humans can’t help but see the hand of G-d.

The 28th of Iyar (this year 29th May) we celebrate Yom Yerushaylim, Jerusalem day celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967. This was a miracle straight from the hand of G-d. While it cost much in the way of lives, the cost was far less than anticipated.

This is a really good backstory video with lots of excellent footage and maps showing the areas involved. It’s under 10 minutes. It opens with the famous words from Mordechai (Motta) Gur “”הר הבית בידינו The Temple mount is in our hands! Every time I hear that tears well up and sometimes they run down. Only G-d. If you’re one person and you’re Motta Gur? Well then. And it has horses in it.

One person? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Shlomo Goren, you can capture Hevron with your driver. But he must have had angels riding with him after having blown his shofar on the Temple Mount, eh? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Goren, amazing!

So after all that time, all that fighting all the loss of life, to regain the site of the Holy Temples, the place where G-d chose for his temples and you’re Moshe Dayan? Well, then you give it away.

Dayan’s first act on the Temple Mount, only a few hours after IDF Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the shofar and gave the Shehecheyanu blessing beside the Western Wall, was to immediately remove the Israeli flag that the paratroopers had raised on the mount.

Dayan’s second act was to clear out the paratroop company that was supposed to remain permanently stationed in the northern part of the mount. Dayan rejected the insistent pleas of the head of Central Command, Uzi Narkiss, who tried to prevent him from taking this measure. Narkiss reminded Dayan that Jordan, too, had stationed a military contingent on the mount to maintain order, and that long ago the Romans had done the same, deploying a garrison force in the Antonia Fortress that Herod had built near the mount. But Dayan was not persuaded. He told Narkiss that it seemed to him the place would have to be left in the hands of the Muslim guards.

Better to be Uzi Narkiss. Uzi may not have gotten it done, but he tried. But even for him, it wasn’t about G-d or religion, more culture or tradition I guess.

But Dayan wasn’t done.

Dayan, just a few hours after his first public announcement to the Israeli people about the holy places and particularly the Temple Mount, succinctly stated: “We have returned to the holiest of our places, never to be parted from them again….We did not come to conquer the sacred sites of others or to restrict their religious rights, but rather to ensure the integrity of the city and to live in it with others in fraternity.”

Typical leftist thinking. If we play nice, others will play nice with us.

Dayan’s most significant act on the Temple Mount, which sparked controversy over the years and was widely criticized, was to forbid Jewish prayer and worship there, unlike the arrangements that emerged at the Machpelah Cave in Hebron where there is also a functioning mosque.7 Dayan decided to leave the mount and its management in the hands of the Muslim Wakf, while at the same time insisting that Jews would be able to visit it (but not pray at it!) without restriction. Dayan thought, and years later even committed the thought to writing, that since for Muslims the mount is a “Muslim prayer mosque” while for Jews it is no more than “a historical site of commemoration of the past…one should not hinder the Arabs from behaving there as they now do.”

Because for him it was no more than a historical site, Dayan was a Kibbutznik, born and raised on a communist Kibbutz. His parents were not religious, he wasn’t and his children weren’t. For him that’s all it was. And when people lack G-d, and a relationship with the creator it keeps them from seeing the true beauty and value in the things G-d inspired or created himself. And that’s how Dayan came off the tracks.

It’s why we have people now that don’t see the beauty in the differences in men and women, how the two can compliment each other. It’s why people can’t comprehend that while there are viruses, he also put things out there that can cure them other than worshipping at the alter of the Golden Fauxi with his golden needle. At least I believe that.

In freedom people are allowed to have different opinions and freely debate idea.

But like Moshe Dayan, children today aren’t taught to recognize things of value, like freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to defend yourself and your family, freedom from medical tyranny. Those freedoms come from G-d. And if you don’t believe or accept there is a creator of the universe? Well, then.

G-d miraculously reunited Jerusalem, in his way, at his time. Which at the time looked like the tiny baby state of Israel was bound for destruction.

I pray he will unite our country, but not at the expense of freedom. Not because the bat rabid left have won the battle. I pray that he send Moshiach now, yesterday.

You see, I believe Moshe Dayan’s decision has consequences that affect our world even today. I can not help but wonder, had he not committed his act of idiocy, in my humble opinion, how different would our world be today?

Yeshayahu – Isaiah – Chapter 56

….

5 “I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.

6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.

7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.

 

We are all just one person, but sometimes one person is enough. Sometimes many of the “just one persons” unite together, and I can not help but believe when we unite together to be a force of good, G-d will bless our efforts. But whether working alone or with others, be a force for good. May many people the world over wake up to the knowledge of G-d.

Israel and America, countless battles and whether it was the Battle of Bunker Hill or the Battle of Ammunition Hill, we can not let the sacrifices have been for nothing. Teach your children what they won’t learn in school,teach them to appreciate living in a moral G-dly country. And may both return to that soon.

This is well worth a few minutes of your time. A tip of my Stetson to fellow writer, Y.B.

Welcome to 1933, nope 2022 Germany

German Airline Bans Jews From Flying; Lufthansa Supervisor: It’s “Jewish People Who Were The Mess, Who Made The Problems, Everyone Has To Pay For A Couple!”

On Wednesday, I heard about an incident on Lufthansa flight 401, a Boeing 747-8 that flew from JFK to Frankfurt, that was almost too hard to believe. Allegedly, Lufthansa refused to allow any of the Jews from that flight onto their connecting flight to Budapest, while non-Jews were free to continue on their journeys. Two dozen armed police officers ensured that no Jews boarded the flight or caused issues at the gate.

Apparently the excuse Lufthansa is using to refuse to honor the tickets bought by the Jews is…masks.

While US carriers have dropped mask requirements, rules in airports and on foreign carriers can be confusing. For example, you don’t need to wear a mask on KLM planes to their Amsterdam hub, but you do need to wear it in the Amsterdam airport. You do need a mask on Lufthansa planes to their Frankfurt hub, but you don’t need to wear a mask in the Frankfurt airport.

Lufthansa flights from JFK and Newark to Frankfurt on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, were filled with Jews, mostly Hasidic.

….

Lufthansa requires surgical masks or N95s to be worn on flights, and handed out 3 ply masks to everyone who didn’t have a mask or only had a cloth mask at boarding.

Hope they get sued for pulmonary damage making people wear those things on long flights

Study finds plastics found in masks present in patients’ lungs

Microplastic fibres were found deep in the lower lungs of living human beings in almost every person sampled in a recent UK study.

The study from Great Britain discovered microplastic particles — present in many COVID-19 masks — in the lung tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery.

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most prevalent substances present in the lungs.

The microscopic plastic fragments and fibres were discovered by scientists at Hull York Medical School in the UK. Some of the filaments were two millimetres long in patients undergoing surgery whose lung tissue they sampled.

The plastic dust and microscopic debris comprises the same plastics used to manufacture the ubiquitous surgical masks worn by hundreds of millions of people around the world as mandated by governments in an attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19.

But back to our story.

They told me that there was zero mask enforcement in first class and that one of the first class flight attendants was not wearing her own mask for most of the flight. Passengers in first class didn’t wear masks for most of the flight and weren’t asked to.

From talking to several passengers in economy, it seems like there were a couple of isolated masking issues in economy class, both among some visibly Hasidic Jews as well as non-Jews. It’s a shame that they flouted the rules, but it’s unclear why those few passengers weren’t singled out for punishment as would happen on most airlines in the world.

….

David Landau told me that at 7:20am they finally started boarding, but this was no typical boarding. The gate agent was paging individuals by name to come up and board the flight. He recalled that the paged individuals that were able to board were not visibly Jewish, but he recalled that a Rosen was paged and he saw that he didn’t make it onto the flight.

….

Yitzy tried asking the Lufthansa agent if being Jewish made him part of “the group from NYC,” but police kept them away from the Lufthansa agents, while saying that they were just there to enforce what Lufthansa tells them to do. It seemed to him that Lufthansa was using the police to shy away from answering passengers’ questions.

Ahhh, the old “Just following orders” canard. The good Germans.

But Lufthansa has now (in their opinion) made everything all okie dokie.

They apologized to the Rabbi of Berlin and the employee that perpetrated this modern day example of anti-semitism has been suspended. No idea for how long, not fired. Just suspended.

Lufthansa’s head office reached out to him to setup the video chat. I asked the Rabbi why he thought the airline called him, instead of a Rabbi in Frankfurt, home of the incident and the airline’s base. He wasn’t positive, but notes that Berlin is the capital city and that he has worked with the federal government and companies in the past when similar cases about anti-Semitism have surfaced.

Rabbi Teichtal said that the CEO’s apologies sounded genuine and personal, a far cry from the generic “apology” that was published by the airline yesterday which ignored anti-Semitism and merely “regretted the circumstances.” That non-apology also referred to the passengers on the flight as a group, when in fact there were many passengers who booked their own travel and were also denied boarding to Budapest.

Yeah, I’m guessing he has worked with the German authorities on anti-semitism as he himself has been attacked more than once in Berlin.

Hoodlums Attack Berlin Rabbi Anti-Semitic hoodlums attacked the Chabad rabbi in Berlin and eight students one week before the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht.

Rabbi attacked in apparent anti-Semitic incident in Berlin

Lufthansa refused to book the Jews on other flights, banned them from the airlines for 24 hours, wouldn’t refund their money and then blamed them for the problems. The original link I gave has a lot of videos shot by the passengers asking why they can’t continue their flight.

Passenger: Just the Jewish people on that flight?

Lufthansa: Do you want to discuss with me or no? Do you want to listen to me?

Passenger: I’m like shocked beyond, never in my adult life. I’ve never heard this.

Lufthansa: If you want to do it like this, Jewish people who were the mess, who made the problems.

So yeah Lufthansa, calling the Rabbi in Berlin (when the incident took place in Frankfurt) not refunding money, not personally calling every passenger you stole money from and traumatized totally makes it cool beans. /sarcasm.

As Jack Posobiec says, “Know what part of the movie you’re in”.

Rise of the Nazis and Beginning of Persecution

On April 1, 1933, a general boycott against German Jews was declared, in which SA members stood outside Jewish-owned stores and businesses in order to prevent customers from entering.

Covid, like hitler used health, has made nazis out of teachers, flight attendants, shop keepers and torn families apart thanks to the medical lies and attempted tyranny by the left in not just America but world wide. We don’t have to turn a blind eye again.
