Set The World On Fire

If you’ve been bad
(Lord I bet you’ve had)
You’d better bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

-“Child in time”, Deep Purple (In Rock, 1970)

An article in last week’s New York Times exemplifies the utter ignorance, stupidity, the tendency to lump separate subjects together and stigmatize entire communities with no base whatsoever – this by those who purport to be the world’s most open-minded, progressive, tolerant and knowledgeable people.

Not so. The Times carefully chose to show only a slight glimpse of an enormous regional conflict, and distort even that. Incidentally, Wal-Mart is the single issue that Hassidim and their fiercest opponents agree on. When one takes sides on the sole basis of “Wal-Mart being pure evil” you know that it’s the ghost of Stalin speaking through him, while the one who proclaims that “Hassidim started to move in in droves” to “avoid the hustle and bustle of the city” and because they loved the idyllic hamlet set in a green forest with its “huge properties and gigantic houses” you know it’s the tinek shenishbo in him that talks.

Monsey. Good ol’ Monsey, still unincorporated, a once small hamlet in the once quiet town of Ramapo. When ‘Upstate New York’ meant everything north of the Bronx, there were farms here, large wooded areas, hunting was permitted, there was no ban on discharge of firearms, and there were more deer than men. This was a quiet, beautiful and peaceful town. It is important to note that the area is rather affluent and upscale – many vacation homes, retirees and local well-to-do business owners made up the bulk of the population. No one bothered the first Jews who moved in here over 70 years ago. No one bothered the students of Bais Medresh Elyon when they bought a building that once was an Army fort. And no one said a thing when Jews – MO, Yeshivish, Germans, Spharadim started to flock to the new, not too far and fairly affordable village. (Hassidim only started to appear in the early '80es, when it was a full-fledged Orthodox community.) In fact, the Gentile neighbors were so nice that for the most they just packed their bags, sold their houses for a nice profit, and moved elsewhere without uttering a peep.

Despite my unconcealed dislike of Hassidim, a few things have to be asserted at this point;
First, urban sprawl is a national problem. Many people want out of the city, and as commute became easier, distances shrunk. Nowadays, working as far as sixty miles from home is not unheard of. Second, there is a general trend, among all Americans, to want bigger and fancier houses than ever before. This of course requires larger lots, which are not naturally grown in Harlem. Third, corruption, the worship of the Holy Dollar God is ubiquitous – and breeds corruption, fraud, rift and insanity. Last but not least, Hassidim, just like everyone else, have every single right to live their lives as they see fit, despite what anyone else - myself included, may think of such a lifestyle.

What they do not have a right to do is to defiantly fly in the face of their neighbors and their host nation. They have no right to snicker and smirk in everyone’s face, to buy off politicians, behave like brutes, litter and cause damages everywhere, illegally add 50 to 150 percent of what they got a permit to build, they have no right to defraud the government, shopping in luxurious fur coats and wigs and pay for the fancy food with foodstamps, to fraudulently collect HUD/Sec 8 in houses they own, to sit in the Social Security office with fist-sized diamonds dangling from their ears, and to fraudulently down-zone entire towns. They have no right to fraudulently operate humongous not-for-profit organizations that ransack the taxpayers. They have no right to buy up village and town-owned lands without approval of the other residents, to overbuild them and to declare every other edifice or condo-complex a ‘Yeshiva’ to exempt it from taxes. It is interesting to note that the most brutal and defiant are specifically those who so vehemently proclaim the prohibition on rebelling against the nations. I guess that only applies to Zionists.

It must be mentioned though, that many of the overbuilding and overcrowding’s opponents share the guilt by being silent for so long, and enjoying the flux of business the Orthodox Jews brought with them.

It is beyond the scope of this article to describe all the devastation that Orthodox Jews – mostly Hassidim, but others too, have inflicted on this town. Instead, take a few extra-strength Tylenols, a bowl just in case your stomach isn’t rough enough, go to preserveramapo.org - and be prepared for a nasty surprise. Suffice to mention that whenever the original residents of the town dare voicing the slightest protest, they are immediately accused of anti-Semitism.

Such behavior is simply unjust, wrong, repulsive, criminal, unethical, contrary to halocha and any and all Jewish principles. Even worse is that virtually no one from within the community and our rabbis stand up to this monstrosity. I guess when all sources of water are drained, we’ll just blame it on the preservationists’ anti-Semitism.

I very, very strongly suggest you review the Meshech Chochma’s interpretation of the verse “ואף גם זאת לא מאסתים ולא געלתים וכו'” in parshas Bechukosai. It is first and foremost the responsibility of the Orthodox community and rabbis to stand up to this insane depravity and stop it once and for all.

Animal Magnetism

Scientists have long been puzzled by the phenomenon of animals sensing danger ahead of time. In many instances there are logical, plausible answers – seismic vibrations, electro-magnetic tensions and the like. But the instances when such explanations are totally out of the question, are all too many – horses going wild and breaking out of their stables hours before a fire caused by a short circuit, lightning or cigarette, rats jumping ship prior to its sinking – regardless of weather conditions and dogs dragging their owners out of a house bound to be crushed by an avalanche – long before the avalanche itself starts - are just a few of myriads of such examples.

Bil’om didn’t understand why his donkey stalled in middle of the road, and why she crushed his leg against the wall. Rash”i explains that animals can see things what humans can’t; the Angel of G-d was standing ahead of him with his wielded sword – and if not for the donkey, he would have slain Bilom. Despite that, he went ahead to curse Bnai Yisroel – but he was just beating a dead horse.

To Kill Bill

I know some people who are now tearing their garments, pouring ashes on their heads and sitting on the ground. Poor Bill is dead. Now it will be hard for terrorists to enter the USA, to carry out terror attacks, and for Mexicans to take jobs that Americans only want to do for a decent price. (Of course, Americans don’t deserve a decent wage.)

But now even the traitors in the Senate understood that although they have no term limits, and Big Money promised them luxurious retirement plans galore, but those who actually have the power to kick them out of office still have the power to do just that.

So the bill was struck down for some time. We must be vigilant, not scream victory too early, and keep in mind that Big Brother won’t give up easily on tens of millions of voters who will vote for anything – anything they’ll be asked to vote for in return for their amnesty. That day you’ll be able to kiss your freedoms and well-being goodbye.

Locomotive Breath

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
And the all time winner
Has got him…
Ol’ Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won’t stop goin’
No way it could slow down
- “Locomotive Breath”, Jethro Tull (Aqualung, 1971)

The first cloture vote reveals that there are around twenty Republican traitors in the house. Not that a Democrat who votes for barring debate on as vital a subject as border security, immigration and amnesty isn’t a traitor – but that’s not really news.

Regardless which side of the debate one is, it is hard not to wonder why the mad rush to vote already, and why eliminate any and all discussion on the subject? After all we live in a country where morons like Dee Snider and Blackie Lawless were called to testify before the senate. But a law which would allow 12 million (the official figure is about 40% short of the actual figure, but since the fanatic right-wing hatemongers have no empirical proof to support their claims, we must believe our dear President – whom, of course, on other things we don’t believe) strangers, belonging to a strange culture, as well as grave questions about homeland security, is being brought up for vote without debate? Why?

What about Homeleand security concerns? Well, the bill takes care of it – if the good little congressmen and congresswomen will nicely sign the bill, our loyal, reliable, non-treacherous President will promise to build a wire-mesh fence along 700 of our 3000 mile long border with Mexico! Ain’t it wonderful! Of course the bill’s patrons don’t want debate, and don’t want to shed light on it!

“מצא מין את מינו”, says the Medresh, similis simili gaudet, - Trent Lott is now in Dianne Feinstein’s arms – well, they just happen to accidentally agree on a thing or two. You see, the Democrats are honest people – just because Bush and his Lott are finally right on something, Dems won’t forgive them what they did, nor condone of what they’re doing, you see. That Republican senators have been all bought by the illegal alien lobby is clear as daylight. Oracle, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, the farming mafia, the big hospitality and foodservice corporations have bought up all available senators. And as if by some mysterious fairy magic, all of a sudden Corporate America isn’t public enemy #1 anymore. It’s talk radio! Obviously, the four or five mega talk-show hosts are able to counter all of the unbiased, independent and egalitarian media outlets – the major papers, radio and TV station etc.

But why is Bush doing this? To many people it is an enigma. Back in 2004, when Debka Files and other similar websites reported a great convoy leaving Iraq for Syria, there were very serious indications that those were nuclear and bacterial weapons. At that point I was sure that Bush would victoriously come out and declare “here are the WMD’s!” but no. He remained even more silent that the mainstream media. At that point it occurred to me that he’s a mole, plain and simple. He’ll play along with the far-left’s blame-games, he’ll take all the heat, serve the house, the senate –as he actually did- and the presidency to the Democrats on a silver platter, and he’ll get a legendary retirement package. After all, he ascended his throne with the help of Texas Dems – couldn’t it be that he had to promise it back in return?

Fate is ironic though, - the unions got scared, as well as a many Democratic congressmen who understand that the bill would hurt their chances of being re-elected. And some Republicans are already threatening the president to abandon him on his Iraq position. Besides for the obvious nature of congressmen being a little less alienated from the voters, less experienced and therefore less sold out to external interests. And when it really hurts, the people in this country know how to get off the couch and away from the ballgame. The citizens of this country have started to build the fence – on their own land, at their own expense. The train pulled out of station. We just have to find out who’s driving…

…and who stole the handle.

This Ain't The Summer Of Love

This ain’t the garden of Eden
There ain’t no angels above
And things ain’t what they used to be
And this ain’t the summer of love

- “This Ain’t The Summer Of Love”, Blue Oyster Cult. (Agents Of Fortune, 1976)

Seemingly love is not all you need. A madman in Persia vouches to annihilate Israel, the Jews and the West. Communist dictatorships are building momentum in South & Central America, as well as in Asia. Tension with Muslims is building all through Europe, especially Great Britain, and in Asia. Things are going bad with Iraq, immigration, national debt and trade deficit, and outsourcing. Our government –and especially the president- are out of control.

The slim silver lining is that Republicans are finally starting to stand up to our dictatorial president, who has grabbed for himself more powers than FDR during WWII and Clinton – combined together.

Interestingly, Trent Lott –or, as Savage puts it “Lot’s wife’s husband”- is somehow becoming way too cozy with the Honorable Mrs. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA. They are both very interested in seeing the fairness doctrine reinstated. I wonder where are the good leftists who wanted to lynch him when he dared wish a Happy Birthday to Strom Thurmond. And why don’t they credit the President with going along with them on the Border? I guess it’s just not the summer of love.

And our leaders are still sleeping. Not a word, not a peep. Still ignoring or putting each other down. Still making believe like the situation has nothing to do with 1933. I guess it’s just not the summer of love.

While the Holy Knights of Human Rights scream “habeas corpus for terrorists”, innocent Marines rot in jail.I guess it’s just not the summer of love.

Dead Grateful

Gratefulness is a basic human value, and takes prominent place within Judaic principles. And one that more often than not, we conveniently forget.

Two years ago I started entertaining the idea of starting a website. But when it dawned on me that it wasn’t as simple as buying a domain and a site for the thirty-odd bucks, I gave up. A year later, I was reading something (can’t remember what it was) that linked to the Sahigetz – and the rest is history. So thank you Shaigetz, for pulling my head out of the sand and informing me of free blogs, and also inspiring me in a way or two – despite your British accent.

Most people on planet Earth, I believe, would not describe the noise emanating from twelve trailer-trucks’ engines, the whining of a tortured hound, four chainsaws and a two tenors being skinned alive as “music”. Yet that is exactly the impression one gets when getting within earshot of what is known as the “Death Metal” musical style. Yet precisely such a “musical” group, Kreator, from Germany has dedicated two of their songs to the Jewish people: “The Second Awakening” and “Suicide Terrorist” – the first being dedicated to the Jews’ return to their land after 2000 years, while the second denounces terrorism and calls for resistance. To the best of my knowledge Jews did not thank them so far. So thank you is all I can say. I’ll listen to those songs anyway.

And finally, I think it is utterly ungrateful to forget the Marines rotting in jail for doing their job. And our president is called a conservative! So far I have seen no Jewish media outlet take on communist murderous traitors John Murtha and journalist Tim McGuirk who caused this ignominious injustice.

Honesty, Decency, Integrity

Heard behind the pargod: (heavy Williamsburg accent, broken English. Rolling R’s – translation follows) “Naaaaah, ich hob gefregt a sha’alah! Ich hob gefregt der roof aub men meg zogen a lign kdai tzu nemen disability insurance. Er hot mir gezogt “men meg? Es is a mitzvah!!!” (Nooooo, I did ask a shaila about it! I asked my Rov whether it is permissible to lie in order to collect disability insurance. He told me “Is it permissible? It is a Mitzvah!!!")
PS – from the context it was quite clear that they weren’t talking about a little white lie to get around some bureaucratic obstacle.

A "modern", affluent person, from a mostly modern neighborhood, who eats in places that most “frum” Jews wouldn’t (at least if they’re being watched), recently started prancing around his 4th cousin, the heilige Rebbe of …. Working in an lucrative, well respected company, where he’s probably the only Jew – certainly the only frum one, he started growing a beard a few years ago – and now ZZ Top can be jealous of him. He’s having a family occasion this week. Given that he happens to live a bit far from the cherished Holy Cousin, he arranged for all his 180 guests to spend Shabbos in the shade of the Holy Rebbe, his distant relative, a good hour’s drive from where he lives. I’m sure they’ll enjoy tremendously. I’m also sure that the heilge Rebbe’s bank account will not grow at all after the sentimental encounter.

PS -
This should chas veSholem not be construed as any kind of criticism of Hassidim or Hassidism, chas veSholem. I am not a kalter Litvak, in fact I hate Litvaks. I only love Hassidim. I also hate MO people who are not decendents of Hassidim. I very strongly oppose criticism of people just because of their communal adherences. It's just that these things happened to happen to people who happen to be Hassidim SHLIT"A. Actually, I shouldn't even have mentioned it. Forget it, in fact they weren't even Hassidim at all.

Live And Let Drive

I am convinced that none of my millions of faithful readers does this, but some people do. Actually, in New Jersey it is the law: you drive on the right, pass on the left. I’m not sure whether it’s a NY law or not, but in Jersey, this law is actually respected, for the most. In the greater NYC are the situation is different, though - people there don’t seem to get it. Or rather, they just don’t give a hoot. So they decide to comfortably stroll at their own pace in the left lane, and whoever wants to drive faster, well, drop dead. Moreover, more often than not, they’ll do everything to prevent you from passing them. They’ll either speed up or slow down so as to drive parallel to the car in the middle lane. Or when you can finally jump out from behind them, they’ll speed up to prevent you from passing them. They seem not to care about the dangers involved, neither do they seem to grasp that the “no left lane driving law” (even if just an ethical and common-sense ‘unwritten law’) has quite a good reason; it is reserved for emergency vehicles. Emergencies, alas, are not restricted to official vehicles: there might be a sick person, a woman in labor, a diabetic with a sudden surge or any other imaginable condition. Furthermore, the impatient driver behind you may just be an angry and aggressive speed-feverish man, who may not care about your safety too much. Even worse, if it is an illegal invader, you know that you’ll never see a penny from his inexistent insurance. And whether the driver behind you is breaking the law, is the police’s business, not yours.
Once I unfortunately had to teach such an obfuscate driver a lesson the hard way. He was driving in the left lane at a much slower pace than the maximum permitted limit. His family was in the car, and he was constantly yammering on the phone. After he foiled nearly ten of my attempts to pass him, I flashed him. Once. Twice. After the fifth short flash, it seemed to me raised his hand (inside the car) – I can’t be sure if he was giving me the finger, but that’s how it seemed to me. I tried a few gentle honks, still to now avail. When I finally managed to pass him, he all of a sudden started chasing me – family, cell phone, and all. I had a long day, and despite my best efforts to emulate Hillel HaZokein, I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn’t keep – I slammed down my brakes, and did not release them until Mr. Cell phone’s nose was a mere few inches of my rear bumper. Nu, I’m not sure if you ever saw a black man become pale, but I did. He stayed inert for a few long moments, probably absorbing the sad reality that not only his brand new BMW, but his entire family, himself and even his darling cell phone were just a heartbeat away from becoming mashed potatoes. I can’t remember what I was thinking at the time, but if I imagined that he would take responsibility for his irresponsibility, I was wrong. He started chasing after me. If you want blood, you’ve got it, I thought to myself, and waited for him to reach me. This time, however, my father’s image emerged in front of my eyes, preventing me from sinning again. So when the bloke actually pulled up to and unleashed a quite impressive, long and juicy string of curses and obscenities – which, I must say, still paled in comparison to what I was preparing from him – I held myself back and calmly said: “Sir, I tried to signal you over ten times to let me pass. You had more than twenty opportunities to do so. You were constantly yammering on the phone, endangering yourself, your family and other drivers. So instead of cursing me, you should thank me for teaching you a good lesson. Next time please drive on the right.” With that, I drove away, never to see him again.

Sadly, I have the impression that all too many of our leaders are driving their communities in the same manner. Slowing down the left lane, not letting anyone pass, obfuscating traffic and progress.
VD”L.

Angel Of Retribution

As I told you, the changes are taking effect - slowly but surely. There's one more thing I need to work on - but that will take some more time. In the meantime enjoy it as it is.
The "news for Jews" will not be a permanent feature, but I won't let go of the immigration/amnesty issue, as well as other pressing domestic and Jewish related news. Child molestation got into our leaders conscious - immigration will too. You just have to be persistent.

As you noticed, the blog's name changed - as well as my "signature". If you don't get it, please check out Yehu Ben Nimshi. The old names wouldn't fit the current format - this is much better.

US Armed Forces Play Into The Hands Of Terrorists

Today’s yesterday’s headlines scream[ed] “Seven children murdered by US bombings in Afghanistan!” and the army’s spokesman vermin declares that had they known there were children on the terrorist training campus, they wouldn’t have bombed the base. Bingo! You gave the terrorists a surefire recipe to operate freely! Very good!
No! Hell no! The army mouthpiece must make it clear that they’ll bomb the living daylight of the fanatic terrorists eve if they pack their entire schools system near terrorists, even if they hide the terrorists in a hospital or nursery! This is not cruelty, it is compassion to the human race! But of course the wussified American is still watching a ballgame while his son is being beheaded in Iraq and his daughter is gang-raped by a Mexican gang.

Gett Lostt Trentt Lott

The pervert degenerate sellout prostitute, republican “whip” Trent talks a Lott, was on record saying that talk radio is interfering too much in government issues. The only people on earth who would agree with such a statement are Stalin, Clinton, Mao Tse Tung and Dov Smear. Somehow, Lott doesn’t like that talk radio brings the people news that CBS PBS the New York Times and the idiotic tabloids at the checkouts in big stores won’t tell you. Seemingly he forgot how Sean Hannity virtually pulled him out of the septic sewer he was in after his idiotic comments on Strom Thurmond’s birthday.

To add insult to injury, our dear elected president, who releases border patrol agents and grants judicial immunity to Mexican drug dealers, gave a speech in Spanish at the Hispanic Church Breakfast. In so many words he encouraged Hispanics to support his reckless amnesty bill. There is no doubt in my mind that given enough peanut butter and construction permits, all Orthodox communities will support this suicidal bill. How on earth can you keep silent on this one? Don’t you understand that with millions of immigrants a)You’ll lose your electorial significance – in many instances even on the local level and b) once pandemonium breaks out, you know who will be the first scapegoats. Oh yeah, keep endorsing those hybrids, that’s how you’ll save the world. Oh, by the way, as gov’t subsidies and tyrannical regulations keep pushing corn prices higher (ethanol=corn), and more corn is consumed in internal-combustion engines than in digestive tracts, not only everything containing corn keeps rising, but also all products whose production diminished as a result of farmers favoring the more profitable corn are on the rise – wheat, barley, soybeans, plus corn-consumers; cows – hence meat & milk, chickens, eggs etc., - what effect will that have on the average Orthodox family?

Getting the Government the Third World Deserves

When Thomas Jefferson said that “people get the government they deserve,” it was more than just a clever turn of phrase. It also was not an isolated insight but a timeless truth, one expressed by many. William Cowper said, “When was public virtue to be found when private was not?”
Benjamin Franklin stated, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

Habeas Corpus Only For Terrorists - Not For Marines!

CAMP PENDLETON ---- The officer in charge of a military hearing expressed serious doubts Friday about the government's prosecution of Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, one of three Marines charged in the November 2005 shooting deaths of Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha.

Lt. Col. Paul Ware, who will recommend whether to send Sharratt to trial, challenged the prosecution, saying the government's theory of the case do not warrant the three counts of unpremeditated murder filed against Sharratt in December.
"The account you want me to believe does not support unpremeditated murder," Ware told the lead prosecutor, Maj. Daren Erickson. "Your theories don't match the reason you say we should go to trial."
Where is Orthodox leadership on this one? Where is Kiddush Hashem? Where is Hakoras hatov? And in the worst case, don’t you realize you could be next?

Hillary's Hassid Problem

Ever wonder why the radical Jew-hating left somehow omits criticism of hassidim for their unfettered corruption? Well, of course, that corruption is facilitated, enabled, abetted, helped and perpetrated with the help of Democrats, especially Hillary “Godesse” Clinton, the “Jewish” left’s darling diva:
"I love [Hillary Clinton] so completely that, honestly, she would have to burn down the White House before I would say anything bad about her!" exclaimed Nora Ephron in a 1993 Newsday interview. Three years later, she told the Wellesley class of 1996, "Understand: Every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you." Come late 2006, however, Ephron was the one on the attack as one of the self-described "Hillary resisters" — those who believe that "she will do anything to win, who believe she doesn't really take a position unless it's completely safe," as she wrote on her Huffington Post blog, "who believe she has taken the concept of triangulation and pushed it to a geometric level never achieved by anyone including her own husband, who can't stand her position on the war, who don't trust her as far as you can spit."
Kol HaKavod to Mishpachas Low Klass for endorsing this monster.

The Real Budweiser

In the small town of České Budějovice (pronounce: Cheskeh Budyehyovitseh) in Bohemia (now Czech Republic), a small brewery started operating some 800 years ago. If the region’s tumultous history had any effect on it, it could only be the production of a better beer. But good as it is, the small country hidden behind the Carpaths stayed behing the information age, too. And since the accumulation of wealth is not necessariy bound by the laws of honesty and decncy, the name “Budweiser” (“from Budvar”, Budvar being the town’s German name) was trademarked by Aneheuser-Busch (greed aside, no connection to the president), producers of a watered-down, sugary rice-pudding, that in Dixie trailer parks passes for beer. And so, one of the world’s best and most famous beers cannot be marketed in the USA under its own name. Tough luck – but they’re still the real McCoy.

Every so often, certain people start complaining about how nasty the Haredim are, how dare they call themselves this or that name, how inflexible they are, they refuse to accept all kinds of Judaic innovations, such as Torah with Science (no fiction) Torah Umedinah, Torah Uporonographia, and such. Personally, I never understood the reason to whine about this - if the Charedim are right, what’s the claim, and if takeh you are the true Jews, why even notice those nasty fakers, founders of “Haredi Judaism”? Personally, I failed to notice when believing in the Mastodon ZTS”L and the Pterodactyl have become pillars of Jewish faith, but I guess that it makes more common sense than the laws of the Red Cow. Or the restrictions on pork, shellfish and adultery. I also never understood why whine about the evil Mr. Frankel citing Rav Kook and RYBS in his edition of the Rambam only as many times as RYBS or RHS cite the Vayoel Moshe (Satmar Rebbe) or Chidushim Uviurim (Rav Elchonon Wasserman HY”D). Quite ironic that this Shabbos we read in Pirkei Ovos ואל בנתך אל תשען. And it would be worthwhile for those über-rational holy rollers to check out the first Rash”i in our parshe (Poroh). (Unless of course Rash”i is not so relevant.) Oy-vey, those evil Charedim! How dare they reject Torah Ukfirah!

On a more serious note, it would really be worthwhile for the eternal complainers to take a good hard look at themselves, and face up with reality. No one has a problem with someone practicing sciences as a means of earning a living, side by side with Torah, or even at a certain level of knowing the ways of the world, to have a deeper understanding of G-d’s ways, or to refute the heretics/kofrim’s views. But when scientific knowledge, the pursuit of glamorous careers, fame and honor in the secular sector become agendas, ideals and integral parts of Torah-life and then of Torah itself, when the adherents of this ideology parade their feathers looking down on the ‘old’ and ‘obsolete’ “ghetto-dwellers” and “darkness lovers”, selling themselves as the true future of true Judaism, all the while their own backyards aren’t exactly the epitome of pristine cleanliness, I don’t see how they can be offended when those primitive, ignorant, fanatic, throwback black-hatted, white-shirted rigid brutes want to dissociate themselves from Them.

Gimme a quart of Budweiser, fast! – And I mean the real one, the pure one. No rice, no sugar please - just water, barley and hops.

More Americans killed by illegal invaders than in Iraq and Afghanistan wars COMBINED TOGHETHER! Why do you think the left wants them here?



Lies, treachery, contempt, lunacy……..these anti-American forces must be stopped.
That includes an out-of-control president that is obsessed with being faithful to the Mexican people - and spits in the face of those who put him in office!!!

Does anyone think that the reason there are millions of foreign nationals living in the United States in violation of US immigration law is because the government just never got around to allocating an extra $4.4 billion to enforcement? That’s what President George W. Bush hopes you think as he offers a new sop to, as the New York Times puts it, “his conservative base,” more accurately described as the American people.



Democrats more corrupt than Republicans (Duh - big news) Pansy Nelosey's congress approval rating lower than those of mole traitor prez.

It was never a question of "if," but always "when" Democrats would give into Washington's corrupt ways.
When Democrats took the reins of the government's legislative branch five months ago, Nancy Pelosi, the newly installed speaker of the House, pledged that she would oversee "the most ethical Congress in history."
The previous Republican management left the bar pretty low. Simply being ethical would have been a drastic improvement.
Included in her Capitol Hill transformation was a crackdown on legislative "earmarks." She led an effort to change Washington's time-honored practice of members sticking their favorite pork-barrel projects into legislation.

After getting free Alamos hard drives from the Clinton lovebirds, and uncontrolled access to US markets by the traitor prez, China now arms Islamic Jihadists.

China arming terrorists
New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.
U.S. government appeals to China to check some of the arms shipments in advance were met with stonewalling by Beijing, which insisted it knew nothing about the shipments and asked for additional intelligence on the transfers. The ploy has been used in the past by China to hide its arms-proliferation activities from the United States, according to U.S. officials with access to the intelligence reports....

How Far Jerusalem

Yet again the old traitor and murderer, Arafat-hugger and loser, Shimon Peres, ימח שמו וזכרו ונמח שמו מלהזכירו is "elected" president of a state that claims to be Jewish. The leader of the communist un-national socialist party is another degenerate who failed his people miserably. And the “hawkish” Likud’s leader is still the untried criminal who has betrayed and forsaken his troops, and then spit in their faces. Mussolini was lynched for much less than that – but in Israel, everything goes. As previous attempts to achieve peace through concession of land failed (with the exception of the Sinai Peninsula – that one was a great success! The Israelis have now a full 8”X11” sheet with Sadat’s name on it! Oh, yeah, and the incredibly friendly, serene, sincere and irrevocable peace with the peace-loving, non-fundamentalist, Jew-loving Egyptians.) , the 88 years old communist vulture now wants to ‘return’ the Golan Heights and the west bank, to save the poor downtrodden, tortured Palestinians the trouble of acquiring long-range missiles. And while you look on, inactive, with that typically Jewish apathetic cow-stare as your country is being shelled, you are busier organizing a Sodomite Parade than caring for your citizens’ lives. Your young men and women haven’t got the slightest clue about their heritage, they don’t know why that war is fought against them and they don’t know why they’re in that land at all - so they leave en masse. But what really bothers you? What is the real problem? Aaahhhh, the trashcan burners! That’s right, the trashcan burners, and the kollel parasites who drain the poor country’s lifeblood. Let me tell you something, you degenerate einzatsgroupcommandos: every penny in an avreich’s pocket is a penny less in Suha Arafat or Shimon Peres’s bank accounts.

How far, Jerusalem?

Lips In The Hills

"והאיש משה ענו מאד מכל האדם אשר על פני האדמה" “And the Man Moses is much humbler than any man on the face of earth” – Is this a continuation of Miriam’s words, or an independent statement? If it is an independent statement, how does it fit in here? Presumably Moshe didn’t hear Miriam’s words, hence his silence cannot stem from his humility. If these are Miriam’s words, what do they mean? Almost invariably, “על אדות” means on behalf. According to Rashi, Miriam spoke on behalf of Tzipporah, believing that Moshe, in his great humility, was always prepared for his Master’s word, yet due to this neglected the fulfillment of his familial obligations.
But she did not clarify the matter with Moshe himself first, and seemingly that was her sin.

Previously, the posuk tells about Moshe Rabeinu correcting Yehoshua for his misplaced zealotry; why imprison Eldad and Meidad for prophesizing? On the contrary, Moshe was happy that the Divine Word has now two additional channels for the people! Maybe the harsh sentence came on the heel of Yehoshua’s misplaced zealotry on Moshe’s behalf - which Miriam failed to heed.

Recently, it became extremely fashionable not only to bash current day rabbis, but even our most respected ancestors. As a pretext, the failures of great men are brought up, many a time presented in an absolutely derogatory and distasteful manner. And those who know and remain silent are accomplices in this odious trend. Notice how quickly Der Führer of the J-hatosphere, Dov Bear, shed his dear feminism, and picked up midrashim –which he otherwise loves to ridicule- to denigrate Moshe rabeinu, Miriam and Aharon. I bet he’d never dare talking in this fashion about his beloved role models MLK, OJ Simpson, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Jessie Jackson, Sonny Carson and Al Sharpton. Oh, but I’m not allowed to say that - that’s racism! Oy-vey, I’m getting tsora’as tomorrow!

The Eidah Chareidis’ position on Jerusalem’s planned Sodomite Parade is already stirring controversy. It has been suggested that the Eidah has called for violence under code words and expressions. If this is the case, it is a breath of fresh air. It is grand time the legitimate residents of the Holy Land finally take some gutsy action. Unfortunately, this is not materializing in a concise, organized, and well thought-out fashion. Instead of burning trash cans in their own neighborhoods, which doesn’t achieve much more than some traffic and police disturbance, they should silently organize something that would stop the parade in its tracks. And I’m not talking about peaceful negotiations. The Israeli “law” enforcement that has no scruples removing people from their homes, brutalizing protesters and extorting confessions (from Jewish prisoners more than from Arabs) by violent means, is now bound to abet and protect the promoters of abomination on our holy soil. This is however not the really relevant point. In recent years, even G-d fearing Jews came to view secular law as something holier than anything else. Why would arbitrary law set by humans – even the best ones – (and unfortunately usually quite the opposite is true – especially in Israel) trump the Divine Word?

Sodomy is one of the ‘three severe’ offenses, which not only carry capital punishment but one must also give his life rather than transgress them. And the parade is not just a means of the poor oppressed homosexuals to express themselves and demand the basic rights denied them on a daily basis. It is a calculated and organized means of legitimizing the unlegitimizable, of forcing humanity not only to accept homosexuality, but to cherish depravity and degeneracy as supreme values, to disintegrate the family-based social structure and eventually establish a self-murdering society that lives solely for the momentary pleasure. Why do you think they march on Jerusalem, of all places? Their real intent is to force the three monotheistic religions to bow down to them and recognize, legitimize what they believe is a repugnant crime. Isn’t this the very anathema of democracy? Would mayor Blumberg authorize a KKK March through Harlem? Furthermore, would Schwarzenegger authorize an RNC rally in Hollywood? If he would, there is no doubt in my mind that the ultra-tolerant paragons of ultra tolerance would burn the intolerant racist republicans alive. But more importantly, this is the willful and blatant rejection of G-d’s rule, and they want to shove it in our faces, just to show us that they can. For if humanity does not submit to a supreme Law, there is no life after matter – therefore life has no purpose, no meaning, and no reason. And this is the paraders' real goal.
This is Dor HaMabul, dor HaPalgah, this is the war of Amalek. And we must fight it. Fight it relentlessly.

For the Jerusalem municipality to authorize this utter abomination is again a confirmation that the state of Israel was established, and still is, totally opposed to the bare foudations of Judaism. In effect, a state created for racial reasons – for if they shed their mere Judaism, if they trample even the last vestiges of respect that they must relinquish to our nation’s raison d’être, the Torah, - nothing remains. Nothing, but an empty, racist and meaningless monstrosity. That is why they give up everything, that is the reason they refuse to fight for their own country and court the enemy. And now they have aligned themselves with this Amalek – and must be fought equally.

The claim that the Jerusalemites’ behavior is the opposite of Kiddush Hashem is not only myopic, but malicious too. Since when is the whole world considered to be the vociferous gay lobby? Since when is it a Chilul Hashem to stand up to their beliefs and values? Since when is it a Chilul Hashem to fight an oppressive government? Since when is it a Chilul Hashem to withstand depravity and degeneracy? Since when are Kiddush Hashem and Chilul Hashem measured in the eyes of malevolent, deviant populace?

There are, however, all too many problems with the protestors’ behavior. The first is that rather than an organized uprising and fight, they are more bent on thoughtless acts of hooliganism. The have no designated leader, they gather and disperse on a whim, and act with no planning and thought whatsoever. What we need now is a well-designed course of action, thought out by serious leaders, who would harness the people to execute it, even at their own peril. In this manner, I would not rule out even acts of extreme violence. It would be fairly easy to paralyze the city by sabotaging the buses, and instead of burning trash cans in their own neighborhoods, drag them to the planned site of the parade and set them on fire there – the possibilities are virtually endless. But for that of course a strong leader is needed, and a leader rises from a strong and cohesive unity – something to which we seem incapable and unwilling to bring ourselves even under the ultimate threat.

The US Orthodox media and rabbinical leadership also behave in an utterly despicable manner. Again, each follows its own lilliputian agenda – one is silent for fear of alienating two and a half congregants, most condemn those ‘irresponsible Haredim’, and of course many are all too eager to jump at the Edah’t throat – “finally we can get even with those anti-Zionist vermin!” Right on!
The least we must do is to forcefully and unanimously condemn the abomination, and organize prayers to cancel it. Don’t hold your breath though – you may choke.

It seems that unity is achieved only for evil purposes – such as the Sodom parade.

Victim Of Changes

This site will undergo some changes, as you will soon witness. There will be a shift to some more political oriented posts and links, not only internal Orthodox Jewish topics. As my velvet gloves are growing extremely tight, I’ll just remove them – no more Mr. Nice Guy. There might be some more innovations as soon as I succeed to harness technology to my needs. The site’s name will change as well – this will go in effect in about a week. Enjoy, and proceed with caution.
