“For My Days Are Consumed in Smoke…”

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

When the Children of Israel stood at Mt. Sinai before the Master and Maker of all worlds “they were like a single man with a single heart” who affirmed everything that Hashem commanded, “all the people together with a single voice” (Exodus 19:8, 24:3).

The emphasis on the unity of Israel as a nation of individuals and a land repeatedly is likened to the Unity of the Creator and His creation. His portion, Jacob, His “intimate treasure” and “treasured people” must be intact in order for the fullness of His grace to permeate the world (Deut. 32:8; Exodus 19:3-6; Deut. 26:17-19). When Israel is hurt, to the extent that it is “consumed” the world distances itself from G-d.

The nations are growing extremely distant from the source of life in their predatory lust to seize “the land of life.” They are the predatory birds that Abraham drove away from the song and Promise of the land (Genesis 15:11). But they are nothing, a drop from a bucket, dust from His scales; a storm wind shall sweep them away…

The Jewish people will rise up and lead the remnant of the mad world back to the source of all blessings and light, back to its milk and wine that feeds only when Israel is whole. (more…)

The Origin of Speeches: A Review

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

The Origin of Speeches: Intelligent Design in Language (2006) by Isaac Mozeson 

The Origin of Speeches is one of those texts that cross the boundaries between disciplines and have the potential to change our understanding of ourselves, our culture, destiny and capabilities. As one reads, the discoveries about our uniquely human gift, language, unfold like a cascade of gems, vivid and lucid. It is a ground-breaking, brilliant & delightful work 

Monogenesis, the thesis that all languages share a common origin is by now well-documented. Mozeson’s study shows that it merits the designation of a science. But as historically significant, fascinating and essential for the study of culture as it is, it is rarely noted even in the science or literary pages of our major media. Monogenesis is far less newsworthy than hurricanes, perhaps because, if treated with the attention it deserves, it would generate storms throughout academia, publishing, history and even geopolitics.

It is not surprising that this groundbreaking study is not on the evening news. Its subtitle, Intelligent Design in Language is not a la mode. Things being what they are, the chances that someone has heard of the Monogenesis of language, or even the primacy of Semitic as the source of all phonetic languages is little greater than their having heard of the obelisk of Shalmaneser II, the Mernepta stele, the Amarna tablets, the Moab stone, or the thousands of l’melekh (“for the king”) seals unearthed in ancient Israel’s fortress cities.

All of the above (and there is lots more like them) are archaeological discoveries of the past two centuries that demonstrate the antiquity of Israel and the historicity of much of the Scriptures.

Thus “Edenics,” the research project from which the book emerges remains largely unknown and readers will find The Origin of Speeches to be like uncovering buried treasure, a key to discovering truths of language, history and human nature and its divinely “designed” nature. (more…)

God’s Promise v. Amalek’s Noise: Further Notes on the geography and integrity of the Promised Land

Monday, August 28th, 2006

“Every place where the sole of your foot will tread shall be yours – from the Wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River until the Western sea shall be your boundary” (Deut. 11:24)

When Israel is not intact, shaleim, it is as if the Eternal One’s integrity and Unity is diminished, state the sages of the Zohar. When this fracturing pertains there cannot be peace, not within or around Israel nor anywhere in the world. And today many cry, “‘peace, peace’ but there is no peace” because Israel is not intact. Its leaders have behaved like wayward sons and faithless wives, like harlots. “On the roads you awaited your lovers like an Arab in the desert.” Thus the quislings “have brought guilt upon the land with their adultery and evil” (Isaiah 2:25 – 3:9). So intoxicated is this group with their delusions and apologetics about a peace process that brings war and about the pillagers from the desert that they have opened the ‘gates’ of the Land to them, tearing it like treif.

To repeat: “the peace of the wicked” has let Edom and Ishmael into the land and holy places in which the Unity of the Eternal One is to be embodied and praised by an integral Israel, Yisrael Shleimah. The selfish arrogance of their designs and self-serving rhetoric fills the land with violence even as “their tongue struts the earth” (psalm 73). Being harlots, the “faithless shepherds that abandon their flock” the troika of defeatism and corruption have treated Israel like a harlot (Genesis 34). Thus the Land is torn into pieces and the people are fragmented by fatalism, confusion, and alien ideas / gods.

It is a time of His concealed countenance…

We will briefly consider the surface noise these betrayals and this drunkenness makes and then return to quench our thirst with the clarity of “milk and wine…the kindnesses promised to David” (Isaiah 55, haftora for Torah portion Re’eh). As the penitents sang, this kindness and truth is a veritable “psalm of song whose foundation is in the holy mountains” (psalm 87). For it is in the topography and the Promised Land, in the fruitful “song” of the Land, as Jacob called its produce (Genesis 43:11) that this wholeness is manifest. The integrity of the landscape is the “truth sprouts from the earth” to demonstrate the area in which Israel will be integrated, whole, complete and, thus, at peace.

“Where Shall I Go? What Shall I Do?” 1 Elul 5766

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

How bad is the situation in Israel? Consider the following…

The Foreign Minister, a reject from “Desperate Housewives” is touring Europe imploring Edom [a.k.a. the EU] to send its armed forces to patrol the Lebanon and to protect what is supposed to be the State of the Jews from Ishmael. This reflects the fact that the elites that control this State are incompetent, unhinged, treacherous, anti-Jewish – “drunk, but not with wine” in their subservient cringing to
 
“Esau, he is Edom” (Genesis 36:1, 8, 48)…
 
The Hellenist oligarchy serves the State Department, the Russians and their competing Islamic clients. The elites that mis-rule Israel thus serve the coalition of Edom and Ishmael that says, “Come, let us blot them out from nationhood, so Israel’s name will not be remembered anymore” (psalm 83). The Jews, the people of Hashem have been sold out while their rulers, and the alien powers they serve praise themselves, continually, everyday (Isaiah 52:4-6). Under these forces, the meaning of the land and name, “Israel” has been forgotten; it has been so badly disparaged that even true Jews who “look to the rock from which they were hewn” want nothing to do with the state it now denotes. This is bad but fitting the treacheries of our day since “Israel” is an august honorific bestowed by G-d Almighty on Jacob after his sons eradicated the Canaanites that had treated their sister like a harlot and left the Children of Israel torn, treif, just like the expulsions from Gush Katif, northern Samaria and the entire Oslo process have left the Chosen People torn (Genesis 34-5).  

Do not confuse the Hellenist regime with the sublime name and memory of Israel…

Because of the toxic influence of the Hellenists, blessing and protection largely have departed from the IDF which is being ruined by the appointees of the oligarchs that sell it out to ‘Rome’ and set it up for an horrific coup de grace. (more…)

WW III: Crisis and Games

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Despite increasing pressure from many sectors of Israeli society for the removal of the expulsion government headed by Ehud Olmert, one harsh fact stares: the efforts at damage control are minimal, almost offhand, as if those running the show are secure in their position.

If the people, like the media, waste time detailing the biting among the writhing vipers in Labor, the moment for change may pass. The nest must be cleared out, fully.

If this time of disaster (the worst is coming) does not prompt Jews to hose out the oligarchs of surrender these defeatists will take the people of Israel down a very dark road. It may be decades or even centuries before the damage is repaired.

Item: the wall continues to scar its way across Israel, a wall that undermines defense and forms ghettos into which Jews will be penned, — the better to target, isolate, round up and deport them. It seems that the people are so numbed by perennial electoral betrayals that they cannot turn out and block these concrete barriers that are ruining and alienating the land and creating another jihadist state in which the IDF will find it increasingly difficult to operate, prevent and pursue murderers. The vacuum will be filled by jihadists, their supportive hostiles, and policed by NATO and blue helmets. This is the end game.

One sees this already in the artificial state of “the Lebanon” mountains and watershed, part of the Promised Land as we have shown in two in-depth essays. The plan to pen in Israel with artificial and hostile states backed by the powers of Edom was plain as soon as talk of a “ceasefire” surfaced early in Iran’s attack (via Hezbollah) on Israel. Indeed it was plain by 1945 when Britain and France put these states in place and watched while they attacked Israel with the stated purpose of extinguishing “the firebrand plucked from the fire.”

Item: European states predictably are unwilling to send their troops (called “peacemakers,” a gruesome bit of Orwellian Newspeak) for the next chapter of “UNIFIL”; Why; because they like what Iran-Hezbollah is doing (destroying Israel) and because they are scared of them for their own irrational cultural reasons. So the void south of the Litani fills again with Iranian rockets and soldiers. But these weeks of opportunity, while Edom trembles and dictates and Jihad re-arms will not be seized by the expulsion regime. No: as the crisis again builds, with the likelihood of devastating rocket strikes daily more likely, Edom will reveal the preordained plan: NATO on Israel’s borders and, later, within them: on the Golan and in Judea and Samaria.

Just as Olmert, so sure of his backing from Beit Laban (the “White House”) that he reiterated his expulsion plans in the midst of the fighting, so, with wounds still raw and betrayal in plain view, his enforcer, former Secret Service chief Avi Dichter has put the Golan back on the bargaining table for the madman of Damascus, his Russian and Vatican backers.

The entire Labor-Kadima regime must be replaced or Israel is going down…

Item: At NATO’s fiftieth anniversary celebration in Washington in 1999, Tony Blair announced that no longer would the mission of the alliance be the defense of Western Europe; that had been made plain by the destruction of Eastern Orthodox Serbia and the creation of three new Islamic states in Europe. The mission of “the new NATO” is “humanitarian interventions” wherever “human rights” are threatened according to the definition of NATO’s strategists at the Carlisle Group, Bohemian Grove, Davos, Brussels, and the lower sanctum at Turtle Bay (the UN) whose “human rights” commission is dominated by Islamic States…

The destruction of the Serbs, and the resurrection with major Vatican – German assistance of the Ustashe crowd in Croatia and their Islamic lovers-of-convenience was a test run for taking down Israel which is the essence of “WW III.”

Item: In March we noted that the ‘fall’ of the Peres group in the Labor Party led to his being even more firmly positioned as the eminence of Israeli Hellenism. By joining Kadima as the Foreign Minister, a post he virtually has owned for thirty years, Peres gained control of two parties while being responsible for neither. The Foreign Ministry by now also sways to him. In the shadows he continues to confer and spin webs with the foreign powers driving toward a Global Security State and New Middle East. In this unstable federation Israel will be a “state of its citizens,” Labor’s avowed goal; a state in which Jews are a minority that does the real work, fighting, creating, developing and dying for the “New Middle East” and the GSS.

Note: Israel’s Foreign Ministry controls the GPO (Government Press Office) which licenses journalists. The iron-hand of socialist autocracy, the lies it lives by and the fatalism it creates is destroying the Jewish people.

To recall the long-ago words of Moshe Shertok (Sharett) a Labor stalwart himself, as long as Peres is in any Israeli government the state is doomed to instability and collapse.

Israelis must build upon the outrage at the fiasco from the north, before the last bitter act plays out, to rid themselves of this destroyer of their lives and dreams. The IDF top echelons, smug, overpaid, unprepared and unconcerned also must be swept clean.

In sum, the heads of Kadima-Labor are clients and betrayers but lightweights compared to the masterful and relentless Peres. All must go, Peres above all, or Israel’s future is bleak.

Item: Islamic media, Sunni and Shiite brim more each day with graphic, genocidal characterizations of “the blood drinking Hebrew entity.” The EU and UN don’t care to notice. The exposure of the Israeli government’s will to lose, of their sandbagging of the IDF (having disgraced them at Gush Katif) has put the scent of Jewish blood in the air, eliciting the main organizing feature of Islam, President Bush’s “religion of peace.”

Item: That prompts a closing and essential survival lesson: America is not going to save Israel. The relentless commitment to a “Palestinian” [sic] state is now dormant not because of concern for Israel’s survival but in order to help the expulsion regime save face and dominance in the media, courts, Knesset and academia. The fact that the wall is proceeding rapidly even while Israel faces crushing costs from the rocket barrages (the re-forestation of decades has been destroyed in five weeks, and with it the land’s fertility) shows that the goal of the State Department is unchanged. Ignore the public pronouncements, the good cop / bad cop routine between the President and Foggy Bottom. The best Israel can expect under American hegemony is the status of a high tech Puerto Rico, one beset by daily bombings and mass murders and a steady emptying out of Jews.

End: If it is going to survive as a Jewish state and if redemption is not going to be horribly postponed Jews and not just in Israel must replace the elites dragging it to disaster. Israelis will remove them or they will dispose of the Jews. The land will be ruined and the dream will go underground for a terribly long time as a State of Terror and perpetual conflict called “Security” re-shapes the world to suit its power-mad fantasies.

Israel must get a new governing structure and leaders of the caliber of Yoni Netanyahu or its survival will be measured in months…
