There is a very important and eye opening event tomorrow night open to the public. (Zoom or call-in.) This expert is in his 90’s and has been warning since 1964 about the rishus of the U.N. and what they are really trying to achieve. Unfortunately his words have proven true, and the evil we are facing now with the promotion of transgenderism, with government intrusion into chinuch, and other attempts to destroy our Yahadus and communities are emanating from the UN/WHO. Call in: 929 205 6099 Meeting ID: 952 175 3151

If it were true, there would indeed be nothing to do about it. So what is the point? To prevent people from fighting back?
DeleteThe Chicken Littles of the world lull us into complacency, even as they claim to be waking us up.
You make very little sense. If there would be nothing to do about it, what would be the point of lulling people into complacency?
DeleteIt happens to be that you’re wrong. The speaker, G. Edward Griffin, is the real deal, and yes, there is plenty what to do about the grave threats posed by the UN and WHO. Number 1, awareness of the enemy. Number 2, davening. Number 3, complete resistance to everything they try to force on us. Number 4, waking up everyone else to be aware, daven, and resist.
1. Awareness is not something to do. It is foolishness if there is nothing to do.
Delete2. Davening is always good. What's the issue now?
3. Resistance is futile against an enemy of that size. If they were truly as powerful as 'the real deal' claims they are, he would have been eliminated already.
4. See No. 1 above.
Basically, another blog full of alarm and 'inside information', geared to distract foolish people from their true tachlis in life.
Most people don't go running to Midtown Manhattan restaurants for the sake of the food. The fact that one is charging $175 doesn't indicate a greater gvir culture

ReplyDeleteOnly he who is without sin, has a right to rebuke.
DeleteOnly he who is without sin, has a right to rebuke.
DeleteIts not a right. It's a responsibility.
It is akin to saying, only he is without sin has a right to put on tefilin. It is absolute idiocy. Each and every Jew has a responsibility to fulfil הוכח תוכיח את עמיתך ולא תשא עליו חטא.
Its not a right. It's a responsibility.
Directly quoting from the New Testament now?
Delete"Only he who is without sin, has a right to rebuke"
DeleteYou aware from where the phrase originated?
Hint:it ain't jewish
Who would you have ever accepted reproof from?! Nobody ??
DeleteHe/she who in"sin"uates that whataboutism-after failing all else in previous posts- is a wicked person in cahoots obviously with those actively making the world go to rot
Many Americans held it wasn't their place to get involved to rebuke the Nazis.
cf. Mashal of pebbly water in well, inferior for drinking, good for fire
Those rants rarely make sense.
DeleteA man lying with a man is indeed an abomination. Somehow, these people made a hekesh to all aberrations of today's society, without explaining it.
A woman 'marrying' another woman is wrong, but not an abomination.
Multiple genders may or may not be foolishness, but it's nothing to do with heresy. Hashem indeed made a Zachar and a Nekeivah. But that doesn't mean that it's impossible that things can change. Especially according to one Shita in the Gemara that Hashem made one androgynous being that He later split into two.
The mishmash of the three issues together suggests that the author, and the other righteous Kanna'im that have sprouted recently like mushrooms after the rain, does not really care about the Torah's opinion, but more about conservativism, that he/she/they has converted to some kind of ersatz Judaism.

Writing articles online is not a form of rebuke. Rebuke is communicating to the sinner to change their ways, if one is incapable of communicating to them in an effective way, they don't have any mitvah rebuke, on the contrary it's forbidden. Radical incoherent rants generally have a counter effect.
DeleteBut don't be like that writer who doesn't understand the difference between rebuke and protest. Even when there's no mitzvah to rebuke, there's still a place to protest, but that too must be effective. The writings of confused lunatics, such as the author of that link, counter and ruin any effective protest.
א"ל הקב"ה לגבריאל לך ורשום על מצחן של צדיקים תיו של דיו שלא ישלטו בהם מלאכי חבלה ועל מצחם של רשעים תיו של דם כדי שישלטו בהן מלאכי חבלה אמרה מדת הדין לפני הקב"ה רבש"ע מה נשתנו אלו מאלו אמר לה הללו צדיקים גמורים והללו רשעים גמורים אמרה לפניו רבש"ע היה בידם למחות ולא מיחו אמר לה גלוי וידוע לפני שאם מיחו בהם לא יקבלו מהם (אמר) לפניו רבש"ע אם לפניך גלוי להם מי גלוי
DeleteTzadikim gemurim are expected to protest, not someone less than a tzadik gamur who's protest will be thrown back in their faces.
In this gemera (the basis of that article), the tzadikim were blamed because "how do you know it wouldn't have helped" anyone with a brain clearly understands protesting todays sickness is pointless. Protesting for it's own sake is no mitzvah.
Here's another gem from the same madman, "Detox from the covid vaccine."

Why exactly do seniors making 100k+ need a tax break? I understand a senior with just minimal income SS etc. but what is the logic for this money grab? Why exactly are we begging seniors to live in NJ? You gotta love the talking points -“Not every senior can afford to stay in nj near their children” huh? making 100k+ and you can’t afford to live in nj? What exactly are seniors expenses? If you need to give them all this money it must be they are really not interested in living near their kids at all!
ReplyDelete1. Seniors use far less services, such as schools etc. A tax break makes sense.
Delete2. Seniors bring their retirement money from all over the place to our state. We want them to stay here.
3. Seniors have more spare time on their hands to lobby for their interests.
number 3 is the real reason. also, seniors vote at a much higher level than younger people, so politicians have an interest in padering to the (i.e., bribing them).
DeleteMost people over 65 in Lakewood are supporting several married children in kollel and paying grandchildren tuitions in local mosdos 100k is not enough for them to buy bread
ReplyDeletemost seniors over 65 are not doing that.
Deleteשנאת התורה comes in all shapes and sizes. Some people can't fargin others sitting and learning, so they pretend to care about the older generation.
DeleteOf course, the truth is, the people sitting and learning long-term in Lakewood are rarely, if ever doing so on the cheshbon of the older generation. Unless they are from the uber-rich, the yungeleit are getting by through other methods.
I'm not sure where you saw any comment about שנאת התורה. The seniors in Lakewood over 65 are supporting Torah big time with children and grandchildren learning so they need the money. What does have to do with שנאת התורה ?
DeleteMoitze zera levatalah is also an abomination according to the Torah. Is there 1 adult male today who has not transfered this multiple times RL. Why then are we not worse than any homo?
ReplyDeletebro, i think you should stop while you're behind.
DeleteFirst there are those who never have been l'vatala
DeleteMor important,
Where does it state that?
Is it capital punishment?
Is it of the 7 Bnei Noach?
Is it of the 3 chamuros?
Is there any basis to kill someone in that case before the act?
How could you compare?
Heaven forbid to diminish it but it's grevious source is only Kabbalah
The weed has ruined your mind.
DeleteSalami baloney it is not an abomination - non in the bible not in kaballah not in anywhere. על פי קבלה it is very bad. period. not an abomination.
DeleteWe get it, that's what you tell yourself to justify your own homo behavior, so sad.
DeleteNot only kabbalah, clearly spelled out in the gemera that it's very bad. Sort of like equating eating chalav stam to eating lobster. Some people actually believe chalav stam is worse than lobster. Both forbidden, but you can't compare.
DeleteAir & Onain
ReplyDeletethey died for they did. no שייכות to abomination.

There are.Stop projecting yourself
DeleteWould any tzaddik ever have told someone who was motzi "go up to the roof & jump"?Never.Or anything even slightly like it.
