His hand is stretched out still

Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, as when at first He lightly esteemed the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.

The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For You have broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every warrior's sandal from the noisy battle, And garments rolled in blood, will be used for burning and fuel of fire.

Waiting For the Tenth Man - How (Two Hundred and) Nine JewsWere 'Miraculously' Spared on 9/11

'The Tenth Man' - A Painting by Brian Shapiro... "The Rabbi is at the door waiting for the tenth man to arrive."

(This story is copied from Beliefnet... and is actually an excerpt from a book entitled Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart written by Yitta Halberstam & Judith Leventhal.)

In a small, makeshift synagogue not far from the Twin Towers, Orthodox Jewish professionals regularly meet early each morning for daily prayer services. Usually there is no problem rounding up a minyan (quorum of ten men required to pray) and the cramped quarters often overflow with worshipers. But on the morning of September 11th, there was an uncommon dearth of available men.

Perhaps they had decided to remain that morning at their resident shuls for the important selichos services that precede the High Holidays. Or, perhaps, they were participating in the shloshim (one month anniversary) memorial services for the Jews who had been killed in the Grand Canyon helicopter crash.

Two hundred (additional Jewish) men who worked in the World Trade Center, were, in fact, (also) late to work that morning because of their participation in the shloshim service.

But whatever the reason, the congregants were faced with a problem: only nine men were present, and time was marching on. These were serious men, professionals, and all had to be at their desks at the World Trade Center well before 9:00 a.m.

“What should we do?” they asked each other

ORDO AB CHAO - ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

• 9/11:

September 11, 1990 - George Bush Sr. gives a speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress... The speech is entitled 'Toward a New World Order', and promotes global governance.

Quote:

In the final analysis, our ability to meet our responsibilities abroad depends upon political will and consensus at home.

This is never easy in democracies, for we govern only with the consent of the governed.

And although free people in a free society are bound to have their differences, Americans traditionally come together in times of adversity and challenge.

Once again, Americans have stepped forward to share a tearful goodbye with their families before leaving for a strange and distant shore.

At this very moment, they serve together with Arabs, Europeans, Asians, and Africans in defense of principle and the dream of a new world order.

That's why they sweat and toil in the sand and the heat and the sun."

Holy Hieromartyr Philoumenos of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre

[caption id="attachment_2879" align="aligncenter" width="373" caption="New Martyr Archimandrite Philoumenos (+1979), keeper of the Greek Orthodox monastery of Jacob's Well in Samaria (Nablus, West Bank - Palestine)"][/caption]

New martyr Archimandrite Philoumenos (Hasapis)

Of Father Philoumenos' surname, his spiritual son Monk Yeghia Yenovkian writes that he was "Born to the pious Cypriot family of Hasapis". In a Greek source, published in August 2004 which deals with modern saints of the Orthodox Church, Fr. Philoumenos is referred to in a brief biographical entry as "Orountiotis" however; this latter term in the Greek refers to his place his origin (i.e. "of the village of Orounta") and not to his surname.

(Greek: Π. Φιλουμενος ο Κυπριος , also Π. Φιλουμενος Ορουντιωτης ), October 15, 1913 - November 16, 1979, was the Igumen of the Greek Orthodox monastery of Jacob's Well near the city of Samaria, now called Nablus (Neapolis), in the West Bank.

In a Synodal decision the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem classified him in its Hagiologion at its 50th Session on September 11, 2009. He was officially glorified by the the Patriarchate of Jerusalem on November 29, 2009 (Old Style), and is commemorated by the Church on November 16/29.

Father Philoumenos' was martyred at the hands of the Jews in Palestine on his Name day, November 29th (Old Style), which is also the feast of the 3rd century martyrs Paramon and Philoumen (ca. AD 270).

His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilus III presided at the Divine Liturgy, along with the bishops of the Patriarchal see of Jerusalem and a number of bishops from the Church of Cyprus, in addition to a delegation from the Russian Church.

The life of Father Philoumenos is an example that martyrdom for Christ is not of the past from the Roman Empire or Communist times, but is a reality even in our own day...

European Poll: Jewish State Biggest Threat To World Peace

[caption id="attachment_2770" align="aligncenter" width="373" caption="Send shekels already!"][/caption]

Results of a new poll conducted by the European Commission show that Israel the Jewish State is believed by Europeans in 15 countries to be the greatest threat to world peace, greater than North Korea, Iran or Afghanistan.

While the European Commission will release the full results of the poll on Monday, the International Herald Tribune reported that the 7,500 people polled living in the European Union (500 in each of the 15 E.U. member states) were presented with a list of 15 countries and asked if these countries present a threat to world peace. Shockingly, Israel the Jewish State was rated first.

Vatican Calls For One World Central Bank - New World Order

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a "global public authority" and a "central world bank" to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises.

A major document from the Vatican's Justice and Peace department should be music to the ears of the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

(What?!? Like a Central World Bank is the answer??

No one believes that except for the ones who stand to become richer from it...)

Deeper Shades of Mossad - Urban Moving Systems & the Exploding Mural Van

Why would "movers" (become amateur photo-journalists) see an horrific plane crash to be an event worthy of celebration? Why would these Jews be grinning, high fiving, all while posing to be photographed with the Twin Towers burning in the background? And why did they take at least one photo with Sivan Kurzberg holding a "lighted lighter" up in a pose with the Towers aflame behind him?

From the FBI report:

The Israelis were observed near Liberty State Park New Jersey celebrating and photographing the World Trade Center (WTC) explosion within minutes after the WTC (Ie: The First Tower; the North Tower) was first hit by an aircraft.

It should be noted that there were inconsistencies in the statements made by (Blanked out = Yaron Shmuel) who stated that the van he was in was on the West Side Highway in New York at the time of the attack on the WTC.

However, he is clearly visible in photographs which he and other occupants in the van had taken from a roof top parking garage located at 100 Manhattan Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, within minutes after the first WTC building was struck by an aircraft.

[So Yaron Shmuel and Sivan Kurzberg - who, as reported by The New York Times, was shown in one photograph "holding a lighted lighter" - both appear in the photos of the happy, celebrating Israelis.]

The 9/11 'Dancing Israelis' - Arresting officer speaks

SEPTEMBER 23, 2011

"We were all on edge obviously, so I really wasn't looking to make friends with these people - and neither were the officers that I was with..." (Quote from the 2005 film 'Protocols of Zion')

By Dave Gahary (AFP)

The New Jersey police officer responsible for capturing five Israelis who filmed and celebrated while the World Trade Center towers burned has broken his silence, agreeing to a Sept. 16 exclusive interview with AMERICAN FREE PRESS.

As AFP readers are no doubt aware, these are the same Israelis who were working under the direction of Urban Moving Systems, a Mossad front company at the center of Israeli involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Sgt. Scott DeCarlo has never spoken to the media about the details of that day except for two 30-second cameo appearances in Internet videos from undetermined sources. In fact, DeCarlo confirmed that this is the first, and last, interview he will ever grant in regard to this subject.

The "Dancing Israelis" FBI Report - Unpacked

The Next Day

Reposted from Take Our World Back as a follow up to my recent post:

Freedom of Information Release – FBI Documents RE: ‘Urban MOving SystemSIncorporAteD‘ & the 9/11 ‘Dancing Israelis’

Introduction

Thanks to andie531 for obtaining and making available the FBI documents on the "Dancing Israelis": KURZBERG, SIVAN ET AL. As will be shown, this FBI 'investigation' is very similar to the NIST 'investigations' into the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings collapses, in that the conclusion is politically motivated rather than evidence-based. Section 5 even reveals how the FBI's NS-2C Unit of its "National Security Division" based at FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C., ordered FBI Newark to stop their investigation of the Israelis.

The documents were partly declassified in 2005.

However, there are many parts that are still blanked out and classified until 2030 or 2035.

Apart from names of individuals, the unreleased material includes longer passages such as the section following the question: "1. Did the Israeli nationals have foreknowledge of the events at WTC and were they filming the events prior to and in anticipation of the explosion?" The fact that it's blanked out indicates that the answer is clearly not an emphatic "no".

Nonetheless, the material that has already been released is sufficient to prove that the Israelis did indeed have foreknowledge of the attacks on the WTC. That is of course consistent with Israel's capability and history of staging false-flag terror, the two hours' advance warning of the WTC attack transmitted via the Herzliya / New York-based Israeli instant messaging service Odigo, the failure of Benjamin Netanyahu's friend Larry Silverstein and his children to turn up for work that day at the World Trade Center, Netanyahu's advance warning of, and Efraim Halevy's intimate knowledge of, the London 7/7 attacks, the $250,000 "loan" received by Bernard Kerik from Israeli billionaire Eitan Wertheimer together with $236,000 in rent paid by Steven C. Witkoff after Kerik visited Israel from August 26-29, 2001 to meet with Wertheimer and then claimed on September 16, 2001 that a "hijacker's passport" had been "discovered", along with multiple corroborating evidence much too numerous to mention in an introduction. Not surprisingly, experts from such professions as structural engineers, architects, physicists, mechanical engineers, metallurgical engineering graduates, PhD scientists, fire protection engineers, fire-fighters, electrical design engineers, explosives technicians, etc, may be seen speaking out on the ae911truth channel on YouTube, explaining why they know the government's half-baked conspiracy theory about suicidal Arabs with box cutters crashing two planes and managing to bring down three high-rises is believable only by the uneducated and the uninformed.

Excerpts from the FBI official report are included here for easy reference.

Is Gordon Duff a Jewish Disinformation Agent?

A Jewish Agent? Mossad? Sayanim? Or Just Ignorant?

Gordon Duff (of the website Veterans Today) posted a video of himself on the Iranian Talmudvision news program Press TV where he speaks about 9/11... on THIS page.

In the video, he tries to convince the audience that it was in fact not a plane which crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. It was rather, he tells us breathlessly, a cruise missile of some kind (or something).

He references a video (supposedly "leaked") which shows from above a small whitish object appearing to collide with the Pentagon. The explosion in this video doesn't even begin to resemble the massive fireball which resulted from the plane crash that day. It has other serious problems as well...

Yeah... That Looks Real... Look! The Jew that made this video on his computer even left his cursor right in the middle of the video! Ha

1. The 'object' comes in relevant to the Pentagon at the wrong angle.
2. The object comes from entirely the wrong direction.
3. The object hits the Pentagon in completely the wrong location.

Not to mention the fact that you can tell it's just CGI and poorly done CGI at that.

Here's the video though - if any of you want a laugh:

Where There's Smoke - There's Fire... ADL Says: 9/11 AntisemiticTheories 'Alive and Well'? Well that IS strange!

From YNET

(Text in green by The Prodigal Son)

Jewish group shows how conspiracy theories surrounding attacks have grown and evolved over past decade, including claim that Jews or
Israel
(the Jewish state) perpetrated attacks instead of al-Qaeda

Ten years after 9/11, antisemitic conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks are “alive and well” and fueled by an entrenched propaganda industry, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which issued a new report Wednesday showing how these theories have grown and evolved over the last decade.

(Guess what Abe... Facts based on reality are not "theories"! Rather, the notion that 19 Arabs perpetrated the attacks of 9/11 is a proper theory; one for which there is no evidence.

In actuality the 'Arab hijackers' were Mossad agents PRETENDING to be Arabs, using forged passports and stolen identities as is their well-known modus operandi.)

In “Decade of Deceit: Antisemitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later” -  ADL looks at the individuals who continue to circulate distorted conspiracy theories about 9/11, including the claim that the Jews or
Israel
(the Jewish state) perpetrated the attacks instead of al-Qaeda.

A new chorus of voices – who claim not to be anti-Jewish but simply anti-Zionist – have become the most popular promoters of these ideas, the Jewish group says.

 ("Most popular"? Popular with who? I for one certainly have not become more popular!)

Holy Scripture and the Church

By New Hieromartyr Hilarion (Troitsky),

Archbishop of Verey

~~~ ~ † ~ ~~~

Editor’s Note: The following article was written in 1914, when St. Hilarion was an archimandrite and a professor of the Imperial Moscow Spiritual Academy. Its message is especially pertinent for our times, when there is widespread confusion and ignorance about the true nature of Christ’s Church and about the right approach to Holy Scripture. It can provide invaluable help to Orthodox Christians in understanding their Faith more deeply, and in defending and giving an account of it when confronted with heterodox—especially Protestant—claims. At the same time, it can serve as wake-up call to Protestants, who separate the Bible from the Church, as well as to those Orthodox Christian scholars who have been unduly influenced by the modern “higher criticism” of the Bible which originated within German Protestantism—the fallacies of which are profoundly demonstrated by our modern-day Orthodox apologist, St. Hilarion.

~~~ ~ † ~ ~~~

In the Church there are no stone tablets with letters inscribed by a Divine finger. The Church has the Holy Scriptures, but He Who established the Church wrote nothing. Only once, in the Gospel of John, was it said of Christ that He stooped down and wrote something; but even this one time Christ wrote with his finger and on the ground, it may even be that He did not write any words at all, but merely drew with His finger pointing to the ground. And yet the Church has Scripture, which is called by her Holy and Divine.

Christ did not write anything.

It seems that if one reflects enough on this fact, one can somewhat understand the very essence of the work of Christ. As a rule, other religious leaders of humanity, founders of various philosophical schools, have written readily and in abundance, and yet Christ wrote nothing at all. Does not this mean that in its essence the work of Christ has nothing in common with the work of any of the philosophers, teachers, or leading representatives of the intellectual life of mankind? Furthermore, has the Church herself ever viewed her Founder as one of the teachers of mankind? Has she ever considered His teachings as the essence of His work? No, with the utmost exertion of her theological strength, the Christian Church has defended as the greatest religious truth that Christ is the Only-begotten Son of God, One in essence with God the Father, Who became incarnate on earth. For that truth, the greatest Fathers of the Church labored to the point of blood.

They were unbending in the battle for this truth. They did not yield a single inch to their adversaries, literarily not even a single iota, which in the Greek language differentiates homoiousion, “of similar essence,” from homoousion, “co-essential.” “Those who call these men [i.e., Arians] Christians are in great and grievous error,” writes St. Athanasius the Great. Thus did this adamant of Orthodoxy argue definitively about the impossibility of being a Christian while denying the Incarnation of the Son of God, Who is co-essential with God the Father.

But was the Incarnation of the Only-begotten Son of God necessary only in order to write a book and entrust it to mankind? Was it absolutely essential for Him to be the Only-begotten Son of God just to write a book? If the Church insisted with such determination on the Divine dignity of her Founder, then obviously she did not regard writing to be the essence of His work. It was the Incarnation of the Son of God that was necessary for the salvation of mankind, and not a book.

Who Decides? Unraveling the Mystery of the Old Testament Canon

by Daniel Lieuwen

When the Church began, there were no New Testament books. Old Testament texts alone were used as Scripture. The Old Testament used in the early Church throughout the Roman world was not the Hebrew Old Testament, but a translation of the Old Testament into Greek called the Septuagint (LXX). The LXX was translated in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus in the middle of the third century B.C., and was the standard Old Testament in the synagogues throughout the Hellenistic world (including Palestine) at the time of Christ.

In addition to the books included in a Protestant Old Testament, the LXX contained a number of other books now commonly referred to as Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical. Some of these books are Tobit, Judith, Maccabees, and a longer version of Daniel.

The LXX is based on a very different text of the Old Testament from the Masoretic text, on which modern English translations are based. For instance, in many places the wording is quite different, and the content of the books also differs—generally the LXX text is longer, but there are also interesting additions to the Masoretic text that are not found in the LXX. The text on which the LXX is based is as ancient as the Masoretic text, as testified by the Dead Sea scrolls and many other ancient witnesses.

A 'Standardized' Judaic Text

Judaism was quite fluid (fragmented; lost) at the time of Christ. There were seven distinct sects of the Jews in the early first century, according to Eusebius. The different sects accepted the authority of different collections of books (e.g., the Sadducees and Samaritans accepted only the five books of the Prophet Moses, the Torah), and there were often significant differences in the composition of the books they accepted in common. Sometimes the same sect might even make use of multiple text bases, or as scholars call them, text traditions. For example, the Dead Sea scrolls, (likely) containing the sacred texts of the Essene sect of Judaism, show evidence of the Masoretic, Samaritan, and LXX text bases.

However, with the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, an intense standardization process began. Only the Pharisaic and the Samaritan sects of Judaism survived this process. The collection of Old Testament books into what eventually became the Masoretic text was begun by the Pharisees at the Council of Jamnia, somewhere between AD 80 and 100

I don’t know if this’ll catch on or not… or if there are enough of us – or what but I was banned from http://orthodoxchristianity.net for talking about Jews specifically and 9/11 peripherally, so I decided to just start my own forum... Why not?

I don’t know what’s going on over there as far as administration goes or why I was really banned (the excuses they gave were arbitrary) and I don’t even really care that much anymore – though I was there long enough to know that many of the posters there are actually Jews or have Jewish ancestry, so that has to be a contributing factor along with otherwise (seemingly) predominantly Zionist, Protestant Judeophilic backgrounds.

They’re over there… framing every debate, turning every mention of Jews or Judaism into slanderous accusations of hate and antisemitism, same old, same old, blah blah blah. I’m sick of it.

Is Christianity From the Jews? Are the Jews God's Chosen?

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."

Many people today calling themselves Christian will tell you that, "Our faith comes from the Jews, our Lord was a Jew, the Jews are God's chosen," etc, etc, ad nauseum... but is this really the case?

Antisemitism Panel Wants "More Action" from Ottawa

Where's the third stooge?

By Meagan Fitzpatrick, CBC News

(Text in green by The Prodigal Son)

The federal government needs to take more action to combat rising antisemitism in Canada and around the world, a report by a panel of MPs concludes.

The Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat antisemitism released its final report Thursday in Ottawa after two years of investigation that included public hearings with more than 70 witnesses.

"Antisemitism is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of hatred," Mario Silva, chair of the committee, said at a news conference. The former Liberal MP, who was defeated in the May 2 election, said antisemitism is still present and even growing in some parts of Canada and a parliamentary committee was needed to identify measures to fight it.

The report adopted the European Union's definition of antisemitism and urges the federal government and law enforcement agencies to do the same. It defines antisemitism as a certain perception of Jews that can be expressed as hatred toward them, in physical or rhetorical ways. Antisemitic acts can be directed at individuals, their property, or the Jewish community and religious facilities. It also says that expressions of hatred can target Israel (the Jewish state), because it is considered a Jewish collectivity.

Outside Job: Seven Answers to Jim Fetzer’s Seven Stupid Questions – ‘No Planes’? No Brains!

Keep making jokes there Leibowitz. Laugh it up funny man...

I read all of the headlines at What Really Happened every day...

I know that the guy who runs the site is anti-Christian but he's just anti-religion altogether; he's an atheist. Since he seems otherwise to be a fairly smart fellow, I just assume that he had some unpleasant experience (as we all have had) with some weirdos calling themselves "Christians," and that experience has closed his heart and mind to the truth (for now anyway). I take any commentary of his appropriately; with a grain of salt...

I'm there for the headlines and the links anyhow - not his commentary. And sadly, in this world now there are more people like him than there are people like me.

I was once a lot like him - so I try not to hold it against him. As St.Paul says, "those who are outside (of the Church) God judges." Plus a lot of the stuff on his site is submitted by others there... It's about the news for me - not Mike Rivero.

Anyhow, the other day on his site I saw the following headline: 'Inside Job: Seven Questions about 9/11', and clicking on it brought me to the website of some hippy-looking character named Bob Tuskin. Here's the site and the article in question:

Seven (STUPID) Questions About 9/11

It's written by somebody calling themselves 'Jim Fetzer' (who I have since been mistakenly calling 'Jim Felcher'- Ooops!) and I don't know who he is, but he is obviously either a disinformation agent or a moron - so I really don't even care.

Now when I first read this tripe, my first thought was: "Why was this garbage posted on WRH?" Later, going back I realized that I hadn't noticed that it was tagged 'COVERUPS/DECEPTION/PROPAGANDA'.

They were good tags; accurate tags... they just hadn't been prominent enough. I hope no one else innocently clicked on it and believed any of it without seeing those tags... but I have to think that if I missed the tags, some others probably did as well. If the person who posted it reads this - may I humbly suggest that in cases like that, the headline itself should trumpet the fact that the story is crap so no one is misled.

There are already enough 'No Plane-ers' and 'Mini-NUKE-ers' and proponents of Jew-dy Woods' 'Directed Energy Space Beam Weapon' garbage out there... We don't need to create any more! So let's be clear:

A Roman Catholic Dared to Speak the Truth! (A Bishop, a Pope, and a Sheeple)

"DENIER" - I wonder what he denies anyway?

by Dr. Ingrid Rimland Zundel

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

It gives me no pleasure to predict that the Federal Republic of Germany is about to soil itself again to please the Noisy Lobby.

The players in the coming spectacle are noteworthy. The story is worth pondering because it has all the earmarks of a wide-screen feature film I hope a savvy producer somewhere is going to pick up. It could be another Scopes Monkey Trial feature right in the heart of Europe.

Imagine an erudite man of the cloth embroiled in a spiritual war against a bullying minority ensconced in a “shitty little country” with branches in New York, London, and Tel Aviv. These bullies are swinging the Auschwitz cudgel in a disgracefully cowed Vaterland in hopes that the current Pope on St. Peter’s Throne will remain in the thralls of a soul-deadening myth. The man of the cloth is a British Bishop of a renegade Catholic church called SSPX (Society of St. Pius X) who has dug in his heels and stands firm.

I am sketching the backdrop for you as it was told to me.

Story of the Rothschilds--The Goldsmiths--Part II

By R. D. Bradshaw

1972 - "The Rothschilds" closes at Lunt-Fontanne Theater New York City after 505 performances

Perhaps the most important goldsmith of all time was Mayer Amschel Bauer-Elhanan of Frankfort, Germany in the mid 18^th century.  As had been true for ages with his relatives and associates, Mayer decided to change his name to one which would be more useful in deceiving and cheating the local people of Germany.  Mayer chose Rothschild (meaning a red sign or shield).  Thus, the famous international banking house of the Rothschilds came into being.

With his successful banking/goldsmithing business, Mayer was soon ready to branch out.  As he had five sons, he kept one in Frankfurt and sent the other four to other nations to also establish international banks--in London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. Son Nathan went to London and son James went to Paris.  Soon, Mayer and his sons gained fame as being experts in international banking and finance.

Early on, they found that war could be a very profitable business for insiders who controlled one or both of the warring factions.  Consequently, history is full of the stories of how the Rothschild banking dynasty financed both sides in war--

A Little Something Regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses

~~~ ~ † ~ ~~~

ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN FIGURES, there are more than three million Jehovah’s Witnesses world-wide, with branch offices in more than 200 countries. They have made extensive inroads in Third World countries, attracting the poverty-stricken and theologically naive with their insistence that "this system of things" (the corrupt and unjust world as it is now) is about to give way to the "New Order" (the millennium). Elsewhere, they have gained converts through their aggressive door-to-door witnessing.

Indeed, a former member of the cult has called it "the most effective way of error today."

Anyone who has had more than a passing encounter with Jehovah’s Witnesses would find it hard to disagree. Their arguments appear so tightly constructed as to be virtually unassailable. Even if one is left unconquered, the experience is frustrating. Is this a no-win situation? It needn’t be. But any hope of launching a successful counter-offensive and rescuing the Jehovah’s Witness from his captivity to error lies in a basic understanding of the cult’s tactics and its fundamental beliefs.

'Protocols of Zion' - 2005 "Documentary" About the Strange Rise ofAntisemitism After 9/11

According to IMDB:

'Protocols of Zion' is...

"A documentary about the rise of antisemitism in the USA after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001."

Antisemitism increased after 9/11? Well, that is strange!

I wonder how in the world these things could be connected? If Arab Muslims perpetrated the attacks on 9/11... why is 'antisemitism' (defined by the Jews as an irrational and baseless hatred of Jews) increasing?

"A documentary" with 'all-star' appearances by:

• Kofi Annan - United Nations (archive footage)
• Father Coughlin - Roman Catholic (archive footage)
• Eric Daniels - Prisoner
• Mehdi Eliefifi - Interfaith Activist
• Abraham Foxman - Anti-Defamation League
• Mel Gibson - 'Antisemite' (archive footage)
• Alan Levin - Director's father and 'Holocaust Survivor™'
• Marc Levin - Director, Illusionist
• 'Pastor' John MacArthur - Grace "Church", one of the good (Noahide) "Christians", shows us how wrong the real Christians have been for 2,000 years
• Heidi Markenson - 9 / 11 Widow, husband was Jewish, you are to believe that this proves conclusively that "Jews did 9/11" is wrong
• Mahathir Mohamad - Malaysia's former Prime Minister (archive footage)
• Daniel Pearl - Jewish journalist, supposedly beheaded by Muslims, Levin shows portions of the beheading video, again somehow supposedly proving conclusively that "Jews did 9/11" is wrong (archive footage)
• George Lincoln Rockwell - Founder of the 'American Nazi Party' in 1959 (archive footage)
• Shaun Walker - National Alliance, White Nationalist, seller of WWII era German National Socialist memorabilia.
• Elie Wiesel - Weasel, liar, 'Holocaust Survivor™' (archive footage)

Anyway, the other day I was looking for something RE: 9/11 and I stumbled upon this gem. I'm sure most have seen this already... but it was new to me so I'm going to pick at it a bit. Levin did not do as good of a job "debunking" anything as he thinks (or wants us to think) he did.

Here's the page I found it on (Needless to say 'Missing Links' is not found on this large list of 9/11 videos):

http://www.911docs.net/

Anyone who can honestly take a good look look at the events of 9/11 and not come away with the conviction that it was the 'Jewish state', dual-citizen 'Jewish' traitors and a few of their paid Goyish stooge American politicians that did it... must be suspect - if not for outright deception then certainly for a lack of intelligence.

As for the above page... I am very doubtful that the purveyors of the site could have compiled all of those videos without stumbling upon the glaring evidence of 'Jewish' involvement in all of this. It's possible I suppose (if one only listened to Alex Jones or his ilk) but not likely. This is in my opinion intellectual dishonesty at its finest. Why exclude direct evidence?

Anyway... Levin's 'documentary' (an exceedingly lame attempt at damage control) begins with a Black man on the street in New York (who - for all we know Levin could have chucked a C-note) saying:

"All of this stuff that happened here in America - THE JEWS! Here's my point...

Who's Yehudi?

From Wikipedia:

The catchphrase "Who's Yehoodi?" (or, alternatively, "Who's Yehudi?") originated when violinist Yehudi Menuhin was a guest on the popular radio program of Bob Hope, where sidekick Jerry Colonna, apparently finding the name itself humorous, repeatedly asked "Who's Yehudi?"

Colonna continued the gag on later shows even though Menuhin himself was not a guest, turning "Yehudi" into a widely understood late 1930s slang reference for a mysteriously absent person. 

The United States Navy chose the name "Project Yehudi" for an early 1940s precursor to stealth technology.

[caption id="attachment_1258" align="aligncenter" width="323" caption=""I'm Yehudi!""][/caption]

A song with the title and catchphrase "Who's Yehoodi?" was written in 1940 by Bill Seckler and Matt Dennis. It was covered by Kay Kyser and more famously by Cab Calloway. The final stanza of the song is:

The little man who wasn’t there
Said he heard him on the air
No one seems to know from where
But who's Yehoodi?

Both the catchphrase and the song eventually lost all of their original connection with Menuhin. Its double meaning of "Who Is Jewish?" — the word "Yehudi" means "Jew" in the Hebrew language — was emphasized in a short sound film ("soundie") of the song with variant lyrics made in 1943 with singer Lane Truesdale and the Kingsmen, a male trio, in which a "living portrait" of a pejoratively stereotypical Jew with black hat and long beard leers inappropriately at Truesdale's swinging hips before finally announcing "I'm Yehoodi!"

The national swing dance/lindy hop community website Yehoodi derives its name from this catchphrase, as popularized by the Cab Calloway version of the song.

~~~ ~ † ~ ~~~

Wikipedia...

Sneaky they are...

They only list the very last part of the lyrics of the song in Calloway's version... and they make it sound like the song had nothing to do with Jews until Lane Truesdale and the Kingsmen modified it for use in their soundie (shown below in the comments).

But the complete original lyrics went like this:

An Orthodox Perspective on Christian Zionism

By Father Daniel Swires

---

In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

There is an ancient belief among some people known as “millenarianism” or “chiliasm.” This is the belief that Christ will set up an earthly kingdom and will rule it for a thousand years, usually referred to as the “Millenium.”

This belief actually has its origin in post-exilic Judaism. An anticipation that survived the Babylonian exile was that one day God would restore the kingdom of David under a model anointed king, the Messiah. Even though idealized, this would be an earthly, historical kingdom, and most often its relation to the end-time was not specified.

Another expectation that developed, especially in apocalyptic writings, was that God would directly intervene in the end-time, without any mention of a restoration of the Davidic kingdom.

One way of combining the two expectations was to see two divine interventions: (1) a restoration of an earthly kingdom or period of blissful prosperity to be followed by (2) God’s end-time victory and judgment. Many writers speculated about these two events. They are found in 1^st Enoch, in 4^th Ezra, in 2^nd Baruch, in the Ascension of Isaiah. It is interesting, though, that each of these writers sees a different time frame for these events. It is quite probable, in fact, that most of them never intended to convey exact times. Rather, they were symbolic ways of predicting divine victory over evil forces that are an obstacle to God’s Kingdom or rule.

St. John, then, in writing the Apocalypse, also used the idea of a thousand-year reign of Christ, not to describe a historical, earthly kingdom, but as a way of saying that ultimately, in His own time, God will have the victory. (It is worth reminding ourselves that only one passage in the Apocalypse, consisting of two verses, mentions a thousand-year reign: from this one small passage has come a lot of exaggerated speculation.)

Here We Go Again: 'The Smurfs Are Racist, Antisemites'!

Look! Under that rock! It's... Antisemitism!!

From: Huffpost Entertainment

Smurf Village or Hitler's Berlin? Same thing, posits one new book.

French sociologist and author Antoine Buéno asserts in "Le Petit Livre Bleu," or, "The Little Blue Book," that the seemingly friendly little blue creatures living a mostly idyllic existence are actually packed with racial propaganda and are, "the embodiment of a totalitarian utopia, steeped in Stalinism and Nazism".

The comics, created by Belgian artist Peyo, were first introduced in a Belgian newspaper in 1958; by 1960, they had their own comic strip, and it was off to the races. The animated series, produced by Hanna Barbera, was launched in 1981.



As relayed by Todaysxm.com, Buéno says that Papa Smurf, the leader of the village, is an authoritarian figure, and that their lack of private property and collective-style economy is a clear nod to socialism.

Meanwhile, their enemy seems Jewish:

Benjamin Freedman Speaks on Zionism and the So-called 'Jews'

Introductory Note  -- Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th century.

     Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States.

     Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times.

This speech was given before a patriotic audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Conde McGinley's patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense.  Though in some minor ways this wide-ranging and extemporaneous speech has become dated, Mr. Freedman's essential message to us -- his warning to the West -- is more urgent than ever before.

Have No Fear! It's Foreskin Man!

I was looking something up the other day and I found a story about a comic book called 'Foreskin Man'... Here's a link to the original (so you can go ahead and view both issues in full before you pass judgement):

Foreskin Man

Anyhow... I came to find out that San Francisco has been actively trying to ban the act of infant genital mutilation, which I found hard to believe... and that some within that movement (who call themselves 'Intactivists') had created and published a couple of comic books to help advance their agenda...

One of these comic books deals specifically with the 'Jewish' religious aspect of all of this (obviously because they circumcise their male children) so I posted a link about the story to the Orthodox Christianity.net forum:

'Foreskin Man' Comic Book Attacks Circumcision

I also posted the following images...

Understanding Money

An understanding of the true nature of money is essential for those seeking economic reforms toward the creation of sustainable societies. People today have more erroneous ideas about money than Victorians had about sex, so please read the following with care.

Let's begin with the distinction between "legal tender" money which only the government or its agency, the Bank of Canada in the case of Canada, can create, and the "money" created by private banks-and increasingly by "near banks". If you happen to have a Bank of Canada note, on it you will read the words "This note is legal tender."

These notes, and checks drawn on the Bank of Canada, are the only legal money in Canada. What that means is that if you owe someone $20 and you give him a $20 bill he is paid and if he refuses payment in this form you are absolved of the debt. By contrast, he does not have to accept your check drawn on a private bank, or even a certified check of a private bank. Money issued by the Bank of Canada is sometimes called "Right of Purchase" money to distinguish it from "Promise to Pay" money created by private banks.

While private banks are in effect creating money out of nothing, they are (ostensibly) providing a (seemingly) important service as their "promise to pay money" is for many purposes safer and more convenient to use and store than actual cash. Furthermore, it costs the banks billions of dollars to maintain the payments system that clears your check back to your account and to keep the necessary records. All those nice, or not so nice, people who work in those banks, deciding who gets a loan and what happens if they can't pay have to be paid their salaries. Banks also have to pay phone bills, electricity, heat and so on. What they create is intangible, but at the same time very real. Essentially, the bank is substituting its promise to pay-which is accepted as money-for your promise to pay, which is not.

Today only about 4 percent of the money in circulation in Canada is Bank of Canada legal tender. In other words, 96 percent of our money is created by private banks (the Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal are the most prevalent in this area). In 1945 the Bank of Canada accounted for 27 percent of our money. At that time the bank rate of interest was only 1.5 percent and the Canadian economy boomed.

Where Do the 'Seven Noahide Laws' Come From Anyway?

There is a strange movement afoot that is trapping the gullible into a false worship. It seems that there are increasing numbers of 'seekers' and disillusioned Protestants that are getting sucked into this pseudo-religious cult.

These overtly 'Jewish' organizations encourage all non-Jews to adhere to the so-called 'Seven Noahide Laws'... Here is just one of many such organizations:

Noahide Nations



Some people may think that one can be a Christian - while at the same time being a Noahide... but they are mistaken. Digging around a bit on the above site, I found the following:

Noahide Nations Lobbies Federal Govt. for Noahides

This notice will provide information and a response regarding an issue that has been brought to the attention of Noahide Nations by way of a public platform. Noahide Nations and others have been falsely accused, publicly, as being “Xtian Orgs Posing as Noahides”.  These false accusations were started by Frances Marakova of Rachav's B'nai Noah web site and Yahoo Group along with Pam Rogers and Nancy January of the Oklahoma B'nai Noach Society.  They were in complete violation of Torah for not contacting me first if they had a complaint and instead went public with their false allegations.  I have provided a great deal of information to many Rabbis in Israel and in the United States that clearly demonstrates the falsehood of their allegations.  Now I wish to share some of this information with you.

(...)

Form 1023 is the IRS application submitted by organizations requesting tax exempt recognition from the IRS.  For reasons unknown to us as of this date the IRS internally designated Noahide Nations and other Noahide organizations with an “X20-Christian” code.  They did so without our knowledge or consent.

Certainly anyone who does a cursory examination of the Noahide Nations web site will see that we are no more Christian than a Jewish organization would be Christian. 

We were made aware of this through a flurry of phone calls and emails from distraught Noahide Nations Members who had been deceived into believing that Noahide Nations was really a Christian organization posing as Noahides.  I wish to thank these fine people who acted as true Noahides by contacting us directly and as a result of their concerns we became aware of the issue and can now do something about it."

Above from HERE

I think that makes it pretty clear that a Noahide is not (and in fact cannot be) a Christian. Noahides are permitted to think of Jesus as a wise Man, as a teacher; a philosopher... but they may not affirm His Divinity. To declare that Jesus is Divine is against the Noahide 'commandment' prohibiting idolatry.

To worship Jesus as the Christ is considered idolatry (and is technically punishable by decapitation according to 'Jewish' [read: Talmudic] law).

So where do these so called 'Seven Noahide Laws' come from anyway? The Noahides will tell you that they come from the Torah. But does that mean that they can be found in our Christian Bibles? The 'Torah' is just the Old Testament, most Westerners will tell us... but is that true?

In actuality, what the Judaics refer to as 'Torah' (teaching) refers to 'The Law' in its entirety... meaning that for 'Jews' (excepting the Karaites of which there are only about 50,000 worldwide) - Torah includes both Written Torah (known as the Tanakh; what Christians refer to as the Old Testament) and Oral Torah (known collectively as Talmud). The following demonstrates the true Talmudic origins of the so-called 'Seven Noahide Laws'.

The Orthodox Christian Church Is...

The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Christian Church is:




(a) The Body of Christ

(b) The community of believers and followers of Jesus Christ since Pentecost — that point in time at which that community has been guided by The Holy Spirit, as had been promised by Our Lord prior to His Crucifixion and Resurrection:

[John 16:13: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” Matthew 16:18: "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”]

(c) The same yesterday, today and forever, just as Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever [Hebrews 13:8]

(d) One, as Jesus Christ Himself is One and Indivisible

(e) Holy; sacramental; liturgical - as opposed to being merely some sort of club for social networking, or activism, or community organizing, or debating, or …. whatever is the trend of the week

(f) Catholic; universal; The Church for all of humanity in all places at all times, and also with each “Church” — each place of Orthodox worship, and each Autocephalous Church — complete in itself as the nexus between time and eternity, between Heaven and Earth.

(g) Apostolic; in continuity — both temporally and in terms of teachings and tradition — with the Apostles, who themselves were guided by Our Lord and Saviour, and who were in continuity with the teachings and traditions of the Israelite people prior to the temporal ministry of Jesus, the Messiah

(h) Orthodox; of correct teachings, correct worship, correct glorification.  Lex orandi, lex credendi.

The (First) First Holocaust?

Over four billion Jews were killed by the Romans in 135AD… 64 million children wrapped up in Torah scrolls and burned…. Apparently?

The Jews’ last stand at Bethar, Judea in the final Roman Jewish war 135AD

“The voice of Jacob’: this is the cry caused by the (Roman) Emperor Hadrian who killed in the city of Bethar four hundred thousand myriads”
- Babylonian Talmud Gittin 57B

Myraid = 10,000

400,000 x a myraid = 4,000,000,000 (four billion)

“There were four hundred synagogues in the city of Bethar, and in every one were four hundred teachers of children, and each one had under him four hundred pupils, and when the enemy entered there they pierced them with their staves, and when the enemy prevailed and captured them, they wrapped them in their scrolls and burnt them with fire.” - Babylonian Talmud Gittin 58a

Four hundred synagogues each with Four hundred teachers each with Four hundred students:

400 x 400 x 400 = 64,000,000 (sixty four million)

There weren’t 4,000,000,000 people on Earth until 1970, and ancient demography indicates that there certainly were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 64 million Jewish children or four billion Jews.

I think people need to point this out more often.

Was this ‘The First Holocaust’? I think we’re seeing a pattern here with these Talmudists.

You can’t believe a word they say.

And these people control our news media?

Yes. They do.

More from the Talmud:

“Come and hear!

A maiden aged three years and one day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his” (emphasis added).” - Sanhedrin 55b

“When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this, (3 years and one day) it is as if one puts the finger into the eye; (I.e., tears come to the eye again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.)” - Tractate Kethuboth 11b

The Prodigal Son

Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them."

So He spoke this parable to them, saying: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!' Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

~~~ ~ † ~ ~~~

Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood.

And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants." ' And he arose and came to his father.

But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.

Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.' But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.

So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.' And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' "

- Luke 15
