Is Israeli Barbarism Rooted in the Old Testament?

May 24, 2018

The whole world, including many Western Jews, are shocked at the brutality of the Israeli response detailed below to protests by unarmed Palestinians. 

According to Mark Weber, hatred and savagery are actually prescribed by Judaism, which is not really a religion but a satanic ideology, one which seems to animate the NWO.  Israelis fancy themselves as "secular" but this reveals the real meaning of secular. 

Organized Jewry and Jews who support Israel are complicit, but the majority of American Jews do not support Israel. 

Also, consider that the Trump administration and more than 60 million Evangelical (so-called) Christians support Israel.  We are powerless to resist this evil agenda.

Hand-signaling his service to Lucifer, Trump diverts us with his fake nationalism while preparing for another Masonic world war. 




 Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Palestinian Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, has reported Sunday that Israeli soldiers have killed 112 Palestinians, and injured 13,190 since the Great Return March protests started on the Palestinian Land Day, March 30th, 2018. Dr. al-Qedra said that the soldiers killed 13 Palestinian children, and injured 2096 others, in addition to wounding 1029 women. He added that 332 of the wounded Palestinians suffered life-threatening injuries, 3,422 suffered moderate wounds, 9,436 suffered mild injuries, and 5,572 suffered the effects of teargas inhalation. Dr. al-Qedra said that:
502 Palestinians were shot in the head and neck.
283 were shot in the chest and back.
225 were shot in the abdomen and pelvis.
938 were shot in the arm.
325 were shot in the leg.
1,117 suffered various cuts and bruises to several parts of their bodies.
He also said that 27 of the wounded Palestinians suffered amputations in their legs, one in his arm, and four others had some fingers severed by Israeli fire. Dr. al-Qedra added that the soldiers also shot and killed one medic, and injured 323 others with live fire and gas bombs, in addition to causing damage to 37 ambulances.

By Mark Weber
(abridged by henrymakow.com) 

Many critics of Israel and its policies make a sharp distinction between Israel and its state ideology, Zionism, on the one hand, and Judaism, or the Jewish religious tradition and outlook, on the other.

Anti-Zionist groups, with names such as "Jewish Voice for Peace" or "Jews for Justice for Palestinians," and anti-Zionist periodicals such as The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, emphasize humanistic aspects of the Jewish tradition. They urge Jews to reject Zionism and instead embrace humanistic features of Judaism. Such groups, while critical of Israel and its policies, take the view that the Jewish community has played a basically positive role in society, but that sometime in the twentieth century most Jews somehow jumped the track by embracing Zionism and its aggressive ethnic nationalism.

In fact, the often cruel and arrogant policies of Israel, and the often arrogant attitudes of what is called the "Israel Lobby," the Jewish lobby, or the organized Jewish community, are not an aberration, but rather are deeply rooted in Jewish religious writings and in centuries of Jewish tradition.

Most people prefer pleasant myths to unpleasant truths and prefer to believe what is most comfortable and agreeable. That's one reason why so many of us like to think that all religions share common humanistic core values, and are all striving, each in its own way, toward the same ultimate truth.

But Judaism is not just "another religion." It's unique among the world's major religions. The core values and ethos of Judaism are markedly unlike those of Christianity, Islam, and the other great faiths.

Christians believe that Jesus suffered and died for all people, and Christians are called upon to spread the Christian message to humanity. In the same way, Muslims believe that the message of the Koran is meant for all humanity, and they are called upon to bring everyone to Islam.

But that's not the message of Judaism. Its teachings are not meant for all people. Its morality is not universal. Judaism is a religion for one particular people. The Jewish religion is based not on a relationship between God and humanity, but rather on a "covenant," or contract, between God and a "chosen" people -- the community known as the Jews, the Jewish People, the Israelites, the Hebrews, or the "People of Israel."

One major reason why the role of the organized Jewish community is a problem in our society is that most American Jews manifest a strong loyalty to a foreign country, Israel, that since its founding in 1948 has been embroiled in seemingly endless crises and conflicts with its neighbors. But there is another reason.

The role of the Jewish community is also a harmful one because Jews are encouraged to regard themselves as separate from the rest of humanity, and as members of a community with interests quite distinct from those of everyone else. This "Us vs. Them" attitude -- this mindset that sees Jews as dis­tinct from the rest of humanity, and which views non-Jews with distrust -- is rooted in the Jewish religion, and in centuries of tradition.

Christians are supposed to live their lives in accord with the Bible, and especially the teachings of Jesus as laid out in the four Gospels of the New Testament, just as Muslims are called upon to live their lives in accord with the Koran. Similarly, Jews are supposed to live their lives in accord with the principles laid out in the Hebrew scriptures, the "Tanakh," which is also known as the Old Testament. These writings tell how Jews should think of themselves, and how they should interact with non-Jews.

A core message of the Hebrew scriptures is that Jews are a divinely "chosen" people -- a unique community distinct from the rest of humanity. In the book of Deuteronomy, for example, we read: "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, out of all the peoples that are on the face of the earth." /1

The Jewish scriptures also refer to Jews or Hebrews as a "People that Shall Dwell Alone," or, in another translation, as "a people dwelling alone, and not reckoning itself among the nations." In the book of Exodus, we read of the Jews as a people "distinct ... from all other people that are upon the face of the earth." / 2

The scriptures also explain that if Jews uphold the "covenant," and maintain their separateness from all others, they will be rewarded with great wealth and power over other peoples. In the book of Deuteronomy, Jews are promised that God "will set you high above all the nations of the earth," and that "All the people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you." In another passage God tells the Jews: "For the Lord your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you." / 3

In the book of Genesis, we read: "May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine. Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you." In another passage in the book of Deuteronomy, God promises to Jews "to give you, with great and goodly cities, which you did not build, and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which you did not hew, and vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant..." / 4

In the book of Isaiah, we read: "Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you ... For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish ... The sons of those who oppressed you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet ... Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks, foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers ... you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you shall glory." / 5

In the book of Joshua, we read: "I will give you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you dwell therein; you eat the fruit of vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant." And in the book of Psalms, God says to the Jews: "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's wheel." / 6 ...

(Jewish students pressured the principal of Forest Hill Collegiate in Toronto to restore this banner after the principal had labeled it too controversial. This is how antisemitism grows.)  

The moral code laid out in the Hebrew scriptures commands one standard for the "chosen people," and another for non-Jews. In keeping with this ethno-centric morality, Jews are told that they must discriminate against non-Jews. In the book of Deuteronomy, God commands the Jews: "You shall not lend upon interest to your brother, interest on money, interest on victuals, interest on anything that is lent for interest. To a foreigner [that is, a non-Jew] you may lend upon interest, but to your brother, you shall not lend upon interest." / 8

Many portions of the Hebrew scriptures -- especially the books of Joshua, Numbers, and Deuteronomy -- tell of genocidal mass killings of non-Jews. The Jewish God repeatedly calls on his chosen people to exterminate non-Jews. The Jewish scriptures are perhaps the oldest historical record anywhere of systematic genocide.

In the seventh chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, we read: "When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you -- the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites -- seven nations greater and mightier than yourselves, and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them; then you must utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, and show no mercy to them ... And you shall destroy all the peoples that the Lord your god will give over to you, your eye shall not pity them." / 9

In the book of Esther, we read: "So the Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them. In the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred people ... Now the other Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered to defend their lives, and gained relief from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them..." In another passage in Deuteronomy, we read: "And we captured all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed every city, men, women and children; we left none remaining; only the cattle we took as spoil for ourselves, with the booty of the cites which we captured." / 10

In the twentieth chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, we read: "When you draw near a city to fight against it, offer terms of peace to it. And if the answer to you is peace and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you. But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it; and when the Lord your God gives it into your hand you shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the cattle, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourselves; and you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you ... But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, but you shall utterly destroy them..." / 11

In the book of Joshua, we read this harrowing account:

"When Israel had finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open wilderness where they pursued them, and when all of them to the very last had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai, and attacked it with the edge of the sword. The total of those who fell that day, both men and women, was twelve thousand -- all the people of Ai. For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the sword, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the Lord that he had issued to Joshua. So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day." / 12


snipers.jpg
(Israeli snipers)

In another chapter of the book of Joshua, we read: / 13

"And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it; he left no one remaining. And he did to the king of Makkedah, as he had done to the king of Jericho.

"Then Joshua passed on from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah. The Lord gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left no one remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho ...

"So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left no one remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded. And Joshua defeated them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon."

Over the centuries there have, of course, been important changes in Jewish community attitudes and behavior. Jews today do not observe all the rules and commands laid down in their religious writings. For example, they do not put to death women caught in adultery, or kill anyone who works on the Sabbath, or put to death anyone who curses his father or mother. /14

All the same, the weight of tradition is a heavy one, especially when based on writings that are held to be sacred. Something of the attitude of separateness, chosenness and superiority laid out in the Hebrew scriptures persists to the present, and is manifest in policies of Israel, and of the organized Jewish community. /15

For some orthodox Jewish leaders, the "chosen people" is not just a superior or privileged group. They regard Jews and non-Jews as practically different species.

rebbe.jpeg
Rabbi Menachen Schneerson, left, the "Lubovitcher Rebbe" who headed the Chabad Orthodox Jewish movement, and wielded great influence in Israel as well as in the US, explained: / 16

"The difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish person stems from the common expression, `Let us differentiate.' Thus, we do not have a case of profound change in which a person is merely on a superior level. Rather we have a case of `let us differentiate' between totally different species. This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world ... A non-Jew's entire reality is only vanity. It is written, `And the strangers shall guard and feed your flocks' (Isaiah 61:5). The entire creation [of a non-Jew] exists only for the sake of the Jews ..."

Rabbi Kook the Elder, another influential and much revered Jewish leader, expressed a similar view: "The difference between a Jewish soul and the souls of non-Jews -- all of them in all different levels -- is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle." / 17

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, one of Israel's most prominent and influential Jewish religious leaders, says that non-Jews (Goyim) exist only to serve Jews. "Goyim were born only to serve us," said Rabbi Yosef during a sermon in October 2010. "Without that, they have no place in the world -- only to serve the people of Israel." /18

The view that Jews are a distinct people with a primary commitment to Israel and the Jewish community is forthrightly affirmed by Elliott Abrams, an American Jewish scholar who was President George W. Bush's senior advisor for "global democratic strategy," and in 2006 was a key advisor on Middle East affairs to the US Secretary of State.

 
Elliott-Abrams.jpg
In his book Faith or Fear: How Jews Can Survive in Christian America, /19 Abrams, left, writes: "Outside the land of Israel, there can be no doubt that Jews, faithful to the covenant between God and Abraham, are to stand apart from the nations in which they live. It is the very nature of being Jewish to be apart -- except in Israel -- from the rest of the population." Judaism and the Jewish way of life," writes Abrams, is not "entirely voluntary, for the Jew is born into a covenantal community with obligations to God." Jews, he goes on, "are in a permanent covenant with God and with the land of Israel and its people. Their commitment will not weaken if the Israeli government pursues unpopular policies ..."

Time and again in history, Jews have wielded great power to further group interests that are separate from, and often contrary to, those of the non-Jewish populations among whom they live. This creates an inherently unjust and unstable situation that all too often has ended tragically in violent conflict between Jews and non-Jews.

In our age, the seemingly intractable Middle East conflict is more than just a problem of Zionism or politics or a dispute over land. Israel's often arrogant policies, and especially its inhumane treatment of non-Jews, have roots in centuries-old attitudes that are laid out in ancient Jewish religious writings.

I Forgot My Wife's Birthday...

May 22, 2018




doghouse.jpg
and She Forgave Me 

by Henry Makow

You can separate the wives of the world into two categories.  

If you forget their birthday, the first group will bite your head off, and make you suffer, and pay. These are the "nasty women." Think Ashley Judd, Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton.  

The second group will take it totally in stride and forgive you. Think Florence Nightingale, Mama Theresa or Melania Trump.

My own wife belongs to this second downtrodden group. She is long-suffering and patient. She has done the impossible- love a man. I congratulate her on her choice.  These are the real women. 

Do I have any excuse for forgetting her birthday? Apart from being a self-centered oldest male child in a Jewish family? Apart from being permanently distracted? 

"I plead Guilty, your Honour. My only Defence is that I treat my wife Like Gold all the time and Birthday honors do sometimes seem redundant."

(This is probably why she forgave me. And her mercy made me love her twice as much.) 

reminded.jpg
"Well," the judge asks, "how would you feel if she forgot your birthday?" 

Defendant Makow- "Quite honestly Judge, I'd be disappointed and tease her about it but I'd take it in stride ...after I extracted my pound of flesh."  

Luckily my wife never puts me in that embarrassing position.  

Would you make a fuss if your spouse forgot your birthday? 
----------------
First comment from Kathleen:

With respect to your charming article "I forgot my wife's birthday", it sounds like your wife is a jewel, and....just as important...that you know it.

Her patience is a great example to me.  If my husband forgot my birthday ( at least until I read your article ), I would probably be massively indignant, hurt, wounded, etc., etc., etc.

However, after reading your article, I realized that in the context of a long, loving marriage, it is just not that big a deal.  As I am blessed with a husband who treats me with thoughtfulness and respect every day ( you mentioned you treat your wife like gold always)...one day is really not significant.

Thank you for helping me to appreciate what I have, and all blessings to you and your wife!


(from JP on Twitter):

Unless you are between 5 and 10 years old, one's birthday should never be a huge deal. An example of the infantilization of western culture. Nothing but spoiled, entitled brats. I don't even tell anyone when my birthday is, because I am not a child.

 Rich writes:

Most Western women are either so insecure or vain (thinking they deserve to be treated like a goddess or diva) and their ridiculous "date and anniversary" obsession is just part of their never ending search for validation of their own importance and seeking whether or not that they're "special or not", and of course the sole measure of this is whether or not a man remembers every birthday, anniversary and other ridiculous date, as well as to put the stupid toilet seat down, reading her mind and seeing the future about what she was going to want for dinner tonight and tomorrow night and a thousand other ways of "anticipating her needs" that women use to judge whether or not a man allegedly cares or not. 

Most Western women are so pathetic they have no clue what love actually is which is why when a man truly does love a woman, they dump him because men in love want to make her happy and often do whatever she wants and gives her everything, which women view as him being weak and wimpy because women are sooo deeply insecure they'd rather have an alpha man that yells at her, tells her what to do and it mean to her at times because that makes her feel more secure, than a man that treats her well and truly loves her.

As radio show host Tom Leykis used to say "women pick men who treat them in a way that they FEEL they deserve to be treated".. And since most women generally have zero self-esteem, this largely explains why they pick men that treat them like crap, because that's what they feel they deserve.

Of course no amount of validation or anticipating her needs ever changes how they feel about themselves nor is it ever enough as they're either horribly insecure to the point of needing therapy or soo vain they think they deserve to be treated like a goddess or diva, and it never changes their attitude's or vanity and the second you forget their birthdays or other nonsense they're going nuclear because they're soo offended because of how they think they deserve to be treated. Dating most Western-minded women today is like taking on a mental patient with severe emotional issues that men are expected to deal with as normal.

Comments for "I Forgot My Wife's Birthday..."

Mary said (May 24, 2018):

Henry we have been married just about 50 years. We actually choose to forget we forgot each others birthday and it's quite okay !

Al Thompson said (May 23, 2018):

I would certainly make a fuss over my wife not remembering my birthday, mostly because when I was married I needed to get every advantage I could get. If she forgot my birthday, then I would make her pay. I won't discuss how. It would also give me at least a week's worth of razzing her on how she could be so unthoughtful toward her husband.

Getting Out of The Matrix

to-a-mind-that-is-still.jpg

"Can't stop thinking; can't stop drinking; can't stop smoking; can't stop eating; thinking is a greater addiction than any of these."   Eckhart Tolle

In an increasingly depraved and crazy world, 
we need to discover our true identity 
or go crazy ourselves. 





Thinking is an Addiction (Updated from Jan 26, 2016)
by Henry Makow Ph.D.

When I say thinking is an addiction, I'm NOT referring to thoughts based on independent observation and analysis, or intuition or inspiration.

I'm referring to the compulsive stream of worry, judgment, chatter, and trivia that usually fills our minds. Most stress is mentally-induced.

I used to depend on the mass media for my image of reality. As a result, I was dysfunctional. 

Like sickness, war and poverty, dysfunction is systemic (inherent in society.) They are profitable.  
 
Illuminati member Harold Rosenthal spelled it out:  "We have converted the people to our philosophy of getting and acquiring so that they will never be satisfied. A dissatisfied people are pawns in our game of world conquest. They are always seeking and never able to find satisfaction. The very moment they seek happiness outside themselves, they become our willing servants."  Harold Rosenthal The Hidden Tyranny



TRAPPED IN THE PRISM OF THE MIND


 As Rosenthal says, our minds have been programmed to "be dissatisfied" and want more. The programming is in music, movies, TV and education.  There must always be striving, conflict. 

Tell a man he is a chicken, and he struts around and clucks and even tries to lay an egg. Thus, men go to war and die "to defend freedom." Look at the Vietnam War for example. "If Vietnam goes Communist," they told us,"all South East Asia will fall." Didn't happen. Look at Vietnam today. Was that war necessary? Were Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria? Necessary only for profit and to impose the NWO.

hollywood7.jpg(Remember "terrorists" did this)

The Illuminati fabricate reality. Consider the JFK-RFK-MLK assassinations, 9-11, Boston Marathon and Sandy Hook. They determine reality simply by lying. They created ISIS and are responsible for war crimes as bad as any in history.

They program our minds to adopt self-destructive behavior. 

BAD INFLUENCE

-998.png
Teachers can no longer refer to children as "boys" and "girls." Children are encouraged to change their gender and experiment with homosexuality. Women are taught that being a wife and mother is "oppressive" and promiscuity is "empowering."  Men are taught to seek sex and not love. Society is governed by depravity & nonsense.

The mind unmoored from the Moral Order, (i.e. the soul) is malleable indeed!  By soul, I am including intuition and instinct. 

We experience our programming rather than reality.  For example, Hollywood presents romance and sex as panaceas and we actually experience them as such...until the illusion dispels like a morning fog. The Cabalists love hypnotizing us with their "magic."

By themselves, our minds have no anchor in truth. The mental world is a house-of-mirrors.  



testpattern.pngGROUNDING YOURSELF IN THE REAL YOU

The mind and the consciousness (soul) are two competing sources of identity. We have been programmed to identify entirely with the thought world and deny the existence of the soul.

We need to experience ourselves as consciousness.  Consciousness witnesses thought. Empty the mind and what's left is the real you.

Religion teaches that man's true character is spiritual. Our soul is our hotline to God. We need to shift from inhabiting thought to inhabiting spirit. Turn off thought like a light switch. As we shift our center from mind to spirit, many "desires" fade away. They were mental in character.

The poet Henry More (1614-1687) wrote:

"When the inordinate desire after knowledge of things was allayed in me,  and I aspired after nothing but purity and simplicity of mind, there shone in me daily a greater assurance than ever I could have expected, even of those things which before I had the greatest desire to know." 

Like penguins stranded on an ice floe, mankind is an ape colony on a speck in the universe.  No one really understands what we're doing here. Predator apes are trying to monopolize power and wealth. 

We are here to realize the Creator's purpose. God wants to know Himself through us, (his creation knowing Him.) But collective salvation is NOT possible without personal salvation. 

Most of us can achieve personal salvation. 


----NOTE  

I recommend the YouTubes by Eckhart Tolle below.  "Find your identity in the present moment," Tolle says. He is referring to pure consciousness. With so many people spinning webs of crazy thought, we need an anchor in spiritual reality.

First Comment from Henrique:

I find this type of article annoying, not so much because of the content, but because it concedes territory to New-Agers and hipsters. The crucial point is that people think they ARE their minds, which is an atrocious mistake. "There's something feminine in reason", said Schopenhauer. The mind is a computer, or a horse, that you must ride with your spirit. You are your spirit - something pre-verbal, a fire that burns inside you. The mind is like an impersonal computer that deals in symbols ( words ) and translates your base desires in them. If you instead of being you, identifies with the mind, you become the "modern man". The pussy that goes out with miniskirts to protest rapes, that competes incessantly to be the Champion of Political Correctness, fighting against the new oppression and "cause" his mind ( "himself" ) was able to codify and make communicable. Your spirit must ride your mind, or you're basically lost - I believe this is a message the Catholic Church used to try to convey to the masses, albeit in an infantile, oversimplified way - not today of course, with Bergoglio-Soros at the helm.

In a way, the mind is like that serpent in the depths of the sea, always agitated, unsatisfiable, restless. If it rules you - if you give it total power - you're lost. I don't think most Social Justice Warriors actually lead very happy lives. Being led around by your conscience equals being dominated by a neurotic woman.

The Elite rules by controlling money AND the mind.

Comments for "Getting Out of The Matrix"

WW said (May 22, 2018):

I just finished reading "Getting Out Of The Matrix". As always what you write is very thought provoking and memorable, not only in regards to what you have to say, but also how you express your thoughts in words. You truly are a wordsmith! I don't think that I will ever forget your sentence or memorable images your sentence "Like penguins stranded on an ice flow, mankind is an ape colony on a speck in the universe" bring to mind, nor the nihilistic and hopeless sentiment the sentence conveys. That being true, may I suggest that "No one really understands what we're doing here." would indeed be true, if and only if, we did not have God's self-disclosure, and His stated purpose for creating the world and us, found in the Bible. A great article to read for an excellent Biblical, Christian exposition on this important topic is John Piper's "Why Did God Create The World".

***Why Did God Create The World?*** - John Piper
https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/why-did-god-create-the-world

Mathew B said (May 22, 2018):

have to agree with Henrique on this one, in that I associate these types of articles with New Ageism, which is a fruit of our satanic rulers.

The problem with authors such as Tolle is that they preach naturalism. They deny the cross and preach salvation free of dogma.

What do the 10 Commandments mean to Tolle? How about the consequences of denying the 10 Commandments e.g. broken families and sexual addiction?

How is the Power of Now going to save us from sin? What is sin according to a man like Tolle? Is it relative to the 'individual'? What universal laws is man bound by according to Tolle? Or do he just need to focus on the 'now' and everything will magically fall into place?

I'll stick to praying my daily Rosaries and reading Sacred Scripture, etc.

SL said (September 26, 2017):

(Translated from French)

Apparently, given the comments that you have not been understood. It's a shame but understandable.

American culture (which even Americans of good will hardly escape) is in itself a great fiction that originated in the false idealist philosophy (Descartes, Kant et al) that radically denies - against the evidence - the possibility for man to know something (ie partially and imperfectly) of reality.

The human soul is not ectoplasm but according to Aristotle (hylomorphism) and St. Thomas Aquinas, the "form" of the human compound, the organizing principle of matter premium, which itself n ' is not to be real. The soul is immortal because not divisible puisqu'immatérielle. She survives death is the dissolution of the human compound.

In its majority, the "white" America is Protestant, so more or less Kantist. He is seen here once again in these sad comments - dear friend, forgive me emphasize - that Protestantism (in general) is not a kind of "Christianity", but against-religion and against -Philosophy of authentic Christianity, called "Catholicism" since the sixteenth century. Despite the misleading vocabulary, there are opposition contradiction between the two.

The existence and uniqueness of God as being real and not simply thinking or "being of reason" rationally demonstrated in many ways that deny Protestantism. Here begin the drift and ambiguity. This is of course sought.

George said (September 26, 2017):

Great article! The Tao te Ching says that the masses must always have their minds filled, like children, to pacify them.

William said (September 26, 2017):

The solution is to disconnect from the groupthink mentality that dominates society. Start questioning things, even if it's just questioning them in your own mind. The notion of this is scary to most since it means potentially being shunned by the herd, but I'd rather be alone than in bad company.

Pat said (September 26, 2017):

I don't think emptying the mind does anything for you in the long run. It's kind of selfish really. Probably the happiest people are those who are busy doing things for others. I am thinking of a young nun who works on an Indian reserve. She's brimming over with love. She was married - had kids.She, her husband and her kids are determined to help on the reserves. At the moment, she's looking after her parents and working on another reserve. You should see her. She's radiant.

Ava said (January 27, 2016):

I read your newsletter daily. But I find this article somewhat misleading.

The problem, and how the world got into the grips of the cabal, is by NOT thinking.

Blind acceptance, without applying one's own intelligence and observations, is not the same thing as "thinking". Who could believe that an airplane built out of aluminum could fly straight through a skyscraper made of steel? The same goes for how the towers fell. An airplane would not cause them to fall like a controlled demolition. If one stopped to THINK about it, they would question the official story. As indeed many physicists and aeronautical engineers have done and written copiously about it.

People have been programmed to trust in authority -- government, politicians, news readers, published books and newspaper articles. Plus, it seems to be part and parcel of adult human nature: look at The Emperor's New Clothes fairy tale: it took the perception of a child to disclose the truth. Adult humans tend to a herd instinct. Hence the term "sheeple" or blind followers.

We got into the mess we're in because people have not been thinking!

They have also been deprived of information. Important information that enables one to think and draw conclusions contrary to what's doled out by the media and government is deliberately withheld, so that unless one spends what requires a great deal of time and effort doing "off road" research people do not have the information to ascertain false flags, and downright lies. It becomes easy to see through the lies and propaganda once people are alerted to a few simple facts about the true nature of those in charge. That's why this information is hidden.

How do you change the populace so that they start disbelieving rather than believing hook line and sinker everything they are told? They need to be wised up. But children are a whole other matter: they are brainwashed before their critical thinking skills develop.
Public Relations -- a euphemism for propaganda -- is one of the greatest evils of the 20th century because it is the art of deception and manipulation. The PR bible, "Propaganda" was written by Sigmund Freud's nephew. The psychopaths running the world have all the best psychological tools at their disposal to mesmerize and program humanity, and they have used them mercilessly.

In my view we could get out of this mess if only people would stop sleepwalking, wake up, and start THINKING.

Another thing: I have come to distrust any author who gets published on a massive scale, like Tolle. I'm sorry, but nothing gets published unless it contributes to the evil agenda because of who owns the publishing houses. Once awakened, it's a very lonely world indeed.

Re: Thinking is An Addiction

Firstly, I’m so grateful for all the work you have done. I have read your first book and your others are waiting in my book shelves to get to.

I whole heartedly agree that we are constantly being told what and how to think and feel.

But as my Catholic priest says, there is not one person in the whole world that you are going to agree with 100% of the time. So, not having seen the Eckhart Tolle video, I would caution against meditation after having read the Australian New Scientist magazine of 16 May 2015. The article Ommm… aargh!, page 28, stated that "7 per cent of people of meditation retreats experienced profoundly adverse effects, including panic and depression.” “Another reason … is that when you meditate ‘the scum rises to the surface’. … intrusive thoughts and feelings - such as sexual, sad, fearful or violent ones - that may arise rather abruptly when you meditate. … Buddhist texts that explain how individuals who have become enlightened through meditative practice may act amorally if their actions are undertaken in a detached state of mind. Rather than being exceptional, the association between meditation and detached killing became the norm in Japan during the second world war. … People who try meditation and mindfulness should be aware of the whole range of effects associated with these techniques and how they work differently for each of us.”

Again, that you so much for your work and I look forward to reading tomorrow’s article.

Men want women. But resort to porn and video games instead. by Michael Berg

Men want women. But resort to porn and video games instead. 
 
by Michael Berg


Men want sex with real flesh and blood women. But they have to resort to porn and video games instead (due to Feminism.)

I don't think that pornography is always a negative especially for single men (as long as it is controlled and presented in a loving and a nondegrading manner.)

In some cases pornography is used as a weapon to control society - for example, Israeli government broadcasted porn to the Palestinians in order to keep them under control. When used in that manner it is negative indeed because the Israelis are exploiting the natural healthy procreative drive men have as a WEAPON against them. They were exploiting the most natural drive males have - their desire to mate with females - against them. However, for the most part, porn is just a natural evolution of humans living in a modern technological society. If the Jews didn't invent it then someone else would have done it anyway. You can't blame Jews for everything. The first porn movie was done in the late 1800s (more than 100 years ago) and it was NOT done by a Jew.

I remember before I met my wife, I used to watch some porn. But I did not like the degrading kind of porn (more than one male on one female aggressive, spitting, Sado etc.) and I was held back by it. I found it offensive and disgusting.

But there was one German porn star which I liked the most (and no, it is not because I am of German descent - which I didn't know at the time anyways.). And I found most of her porn movies to have the impression of love with her male German boyfriend. They were having sex in a manner I found to be much better than other porn movies. It involved french kissing, gentle sex, more romantic sex (for the most part).

anja.jpg
Her name is Anja Laval. You can find her movies on PornHub. (BTW, Me and my wife have learned many of our sex positions from her movies)
Anyway, Now East- Asians control the internet porn industry and porn is here to stay in our connected technological world. Porn is legal in most nations - including Poland and Russia (Even though there are legal restrictions about its production). China is one of the leading consumers of porn. In China, porn is legal for adults in privacy of their homes only. They import porn from Hong Kong, Thailand, and Japan. Nigeria is the biggest porn consumer in Africa. Porn is legal there (Except Gay porn)
Porn is legal in Turkey. Even in other Muslim countries, people consume porn (For example Egypt is one of the leading consumers of porn on the planet - much more than the US) .

You can't get rid of it even if you want to in a technologically advanced and connected society (Unless you want to get rid of technology completely and return to the stone age)
I am an Engineer in the fields of computers (Planning on having a Ph.D. in the field) and I tell you it is technologically impossible to get rid of porn once you live in a technologically computerized and connected society.

Therefore our goal isn't to get rid of porn but to make sure men consume it as little as possible. How? By diverting the sexual energy of men to real naked flesh and blood women - their wives and not to virtual fantasies. How are we going to do that?

By changing the culture (getting rid of feminism in education and mainstream media) and educating women to be mothers and give them economic benefits for doing so. People DO PREFER real sex and relationships to porn. I do. But they (especially males) are afraid of having a relationship especially since women are so toxic nowadays due to feminism and that the legal system is biased against men when it comes to marriage and parenting. We need to change that.

We need more traditionalist producing porn in order to control the energy flow and divert men to positive porn (loving and romantic) rather than the negative porn (95% of porn which is violent unloving and degrading), Otherwise, they will consume only the negative stuff. So at least give them a positive substitute. Please read this info on "Kosher Porn":
Christian Pornography:

But how can they when women have become so toxic nowadays due to Feminism and "Women Studies"!?

The tragedy of modern western men. Feminism made women so toxic that men in the west are uncomfortable to approach them in order to start a real sexual relationship with them. Thus men have no choice but to resort to pornography and video games instead and of curse feminism blames men for it (as always):

Jordan Peterson is False Opposition by Matt B

Jordan Peterson is False Opposition


Jordan Peterson has been elevated to the status of 'false idol.' He wouldn't be getting the media attention he does (online or offline) if he were any threat to our revolutionary (i.e. Antichrist) status quo. 


by Matt B

(henrymakow.com)

Peterson is being splashed on every billboard in neon signs, figuratively speaking, and treated like the "second coming", because his opposition in reality is NO opposition. 

Conservatives have become the 'controlled opposition' to liberals, and Peterson is a textbook example of this. He is a liberal who dresses up his ideas in 'conservatism.' 

Take this short answer to a question on same-sex couples adopting children for example: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF4PS6sVn3w 

Peterson SUPPORTS same-sex couples ADOPTING CHILDREN whilst at the same time asserting it is unnatural and poses unique challenges for them (that they can supposedly meet). 

In other words, Peterson supports the rights of same-sex couples (the most damaged people in our society whose sexuality is intrinsically disordered) to adopt the most vulnerable children in our society. If that's not gunpowder meeting a lighted match, what is? 

To quote a text titled Liberalism is a Sin authored by a Spanish priest in 1886, Don Felix Sarda y Salvany:

"The theater, literature, public and private morals are all saturated with obscenity and impurity. The result is inevitable; a corrupt generation necessarily begets a revolutionary generation. Liberalism is the program of naturalism. Free-thought begets free morals, or immorality. Restraint is thrown off and a free rein given to the passions. Whoever thinks what he pleases will do what he pleases. Liberalism in the intellectual order is license in the moral order. Disorder in the intellect begets disorder in the heart, and vice-versa. Thus does Liberalism propagate immorality, and immorality Liberalism." (Ch. 26).

Liberalism "is, therefore, the radical and universal denial of all divine truth and Christian dogma, the primal type of all heresy, and the supreme rebellion against the authority of God and His Church. As with Lucifer, its maxim is, 'I will not serve.'" (Ch. 3).

"Liberalism, whether in the doctrinal or practical order, is a sin. In the doctrinal order, it is heresy, and consequently a mortal sin against faith. In the practical order, it is a sin against the commandments of God and of the Church, for it virtually transgresses all commandments. To be more precise: in the doctrinal order, Liberalism strikes at the very foundations of faith; it is heresy radical and universal, because within it are comprehended all heresies. In the practical order it is a radical and universal infraction of the divine law, since it sanctions and authorizes all infractions of that law." (Ch. 3).

Liberalism denies the slippery slope of sin. It preaches, as Peterson illustrates, that good can come from evil e.g. two men sodomising each other for pleasure can provide for the needs of a child. 

Evil loves compromise because every time Truth makes a compromise with Evil, Good loses. This is why the false-left right paradigm (Hegelian dialectic) is so effective for the forces of evil. 

Take contraceptives for example. Liberals convinced us that artificial birth control (i.e. separating the unitive from the procreative God intended for the marital act), should be permitted but strictly limited to married couples. Then what followed after Evil orchestrated this 'compromise' with the Truth? 

Once the artificial separation of the unitive from the procreative was normalized the whole law collapsed. The unmarried demanded 'equal rights' and 'equal access' to contraceptives and were freely granted it. Abortion (the murder of a child) was then legalized as a fail-safe for when these technologies failed. Pornography was legalized. Sodomy was legalized. Secular feminism launched (because sexually active women were now free to pursue their careers over families). Broken families and sterile sex has become the norm, and so on. 

Proverbs 14:12 (DRA)

12 There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.

When will the world finally acknowledge Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Humanae Vitae (and the longstanding traditional teaching of the Church) has always been right? 

http://w2.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae.html 

John 14:6 (DRA)

6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.

John 8:31-32 (DRA)

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

There is good and there is evil. There is right and there is wrong.

Liberalism, which is rampant among both liberals and conservatives (as Peterson's cult status shows), is a sin, and it's one that leads to tyranny i.e. order out of chaos. Liberalism is moral anarchy and the chaos of moral anarchy requires outside an outside force (totalitarian government) to maintain order. 

If we want to free ourselves from decadence as individuals, families and nations, first we have to sacrifice our liberalism at the foot of Cross of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour. 


Israel has always owned the US Soul by Francis

JEWS76_n.pngIsrael has always owned the US Soul

America is regressing into childhood, and America's childhood was pure Zionism


by Francis (a white voodoo practitioner) 

(henrymakow.com) 


As Israel damns itself out of all respectable existence into the most failed state of the world, the US just crumbles apart : it must be known that the US was right from the start founded (by all Masonic Founding Fathers) as a country with no soul of its own but Israel, even though it took a certain time for them to see that soul-endowed mate in material form.

 But if Israel's damns itself out of existence, the US is just a body with no soul, that is to say a decomposing corpse. There was no golden age when America was not under Zionist control : the US could refuse to their loyalty to King George only by offering it in exchange to the (then virtual) King of Israel. Without such a mystical contraption, the Masonic Founding Fathers would never have secured any backing from the mostly Calvinistic incipient American higher middle class; these people would never have subscribed to a merely humanistic idea to replace their allegiance to the King of England : only the idea of owing allegiance to an even higher degree of political hierarchy could make the American Revolution acceptable to most. 

America was always under Zionist control: there is just no other unifying energy making the country's existence possible. The only thing is that up to a certain date, the Jews in power were not a definite majority initiated into heavy-duty witchcraft. 

Actually, about 1820 Jewish or pro-Jewish (under Biblical pseudo-justifications) cultural influence in America was as detestable as now or even more, it is not well known because most Jews then were Sephardic ones concentrated in the South and providing most of the brain-work for the plantation economy : they did their best after Northern victory to make themselves FORGOTTEN at all costs (which meant asserting the big fat lie that their numbers were then very small, whereas the reality was that they considered themselves too superior to accept ordinary American citizenship and be censused as such), so as to retell the whole American narrative with a blank slate, and identify with the Ashkenazi (and rather humanistic and progressive) newcomers only (the Sephardic community was the most ultra-reactionary and anti humanistic immigrant community ever in America.

They pushed for all American states to be slave states employing as such not only Negroes but also Irish and most other non-anglo-Calvinist Whites). Many now complain that Christmas is being phased out into a more and more forcibly un-Christian holiday, to the point one should speak of festive trees rather than of Christmas trees. 

About 1820 celebrating Christmas or abstaining from work on that day was FORBIDDEN in most states as an immoral, pagan, and anti-Jewish (or anti-Biblical) feast (anyway shirking from work to celebrate any holiday was considered impious and a declaration of parasitism on a commoner's part. Calvinism considered that the only house of prayer God really approved of was a factory), only Mexican subhumans would stoop to such a degree of incivility and disloyalty. 

Nowadays Jewish cultural dominance speaks the language of multiculturalism, which has a strong anti-white de facto import. But in the beginning the very same influence spoke the language of Anglo-Israelism as it was called : the 1% Anglo-Saxon elite prided themselves of being actual Jews by blood and even more direct ancient Jewish descendence than Jews proper, though acknowledging Calvinist Christianity as their faith, and the other Whites had to consider themselves as goys by birth. 

Mere successful ruthlessness at making money was thought to be the most probable proof of being a Jew by blood through a Calvinist by faith. 

The first racism that structured American fascism was Jewish, antisemitic fascism came long after through Europe. As all countries in terminal decadence to the point of dotage, America is regressing into childhood, and America's childhood was pure Zionism: the ground had to be made clear of Indians and work-shirkers in general by invoking Biblical passages for Jews to exterminate useless people in their wake so as to make room to industrial plantations running on cheap imported slave manpower.
