Today’s Spiritual Disciplines

1. Its important for non T’NaCH “readers” of sophomoric translations of the bible to understand that the T’NaCH commands prophetic mussar – applicable to all generations of Israel. Therefore the T’NaCH does NOT teach history. A huge but subtle distinction, and expression of ancient scholarship skills.

   Michael Ruark

   Edom (“red”) was an ancient kingdom that stretched across areas in the south of present-day Jordan and Israel. Edom and the Edomites appear in several written sources relating to the late Bronze Age and to the Iron Age in the Levant, including the list of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I from c. 1215 BC as well as in the chronicle of a campaign by Ramesses III (r. 1186–1155 BC), and the Hebrew Bible….

   Qos — a significant deity in the pantheon of the Edomites, representing a key aspect of their polytheistic beliefs. As a god associated with various elements of life, Qos played a vital role in the spiritual and cultural practices of the Edomite people. Qos is often associated with war and protection, serving as a guardian deity for the Edomites. His role as a warrior god reflects the martial culture of the Edomites, who frequently faced conflicts with neighboring tribes and kingdoms.

   Qos was also considered a mountain god, which is significant given the geographical landscape of Edom. The Edomites inhabited rugged terrains, and mountains were often seen as sacred spaces where deities resided. This connection to the mountains symbolized strength and stability. Worship of Qos likely involved various rituals, including sacrifices and offerings. These acts were intended to appease the deity and seek his favor in matters of war, agriculture, and daily life.

   Archaeological evidence suggests that the Edomites built shrines and possibly temples dedicated to Qos. These sites would have served as focal points for communal worship and religious gatherings. The worship of Qos reflects the broader context of ancient Near Eastern religions, where deities often shared attributes and functions. The Edomites, like many other cultures, adapted their religious practices based on interactions with neighboring peoples, including the Israelites and Moabites.

   The 2nd Sinai commandment the Torah revelation acknowledges that other Gods live. The theology surrounding Qos illustrates the complexity of Edomite religious beliefs and their connection to the natural world and societal needs. Understanding Qos and his significance provides insight into the cultural identity of the Edomites and their interactions with surrounding civilizations.

   Edomites and their interactions with neighboring cultures – complex and should not be oversimplified, like as Michael Ruark has perverted in his text quoted above. The Edomites according to many biblical historians – a joke because the T’NaCH does not teach history – an ancient Semitic people who inhabited the region south of the Dead Sea, primarily in southern Jordan. Their history, intertwined with that of neighboring groups, including the Israelites, Moabites, and Nabateans. The Edomites controlled key trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean. This strategic position allowed them to engage in commerce with various civilizations, including the Egyptians, Phoenicians, and later the Romans. The strategic importance of these trade routes bears emphasis. These critical trade routes connect Africa with Europe and Asia. Herein explains why the Romans and the British made control of these trade routes the “Crown Jewel” of their respective World Empires. The Edomites have a famous reputation, known for their rock-cut architecture, particularly in the city of Petra, which later became a major Nabatean city. This architectural style influenced subsequent cultures and remains a significant tourist attraction today.

   The Edomites practiced a polytheistic religion, worshipping deities, such as Qos, introduced above. Their religious practices and beliefs influenced neighboring cultures, contributing to the region’s spiritual landscape. The Edomites historically known for their mining activities, particularly in copper and other minerals. This resource extraction played a crucial role in their economy and provided materials for trade.

   Over time, the Edomite civilization descended unto decay chaos and anarchy. Better organized civilizations then absorbed and assimilated Edomite cultures and customs into their larger, better organized empires, such as the Nabateans and later the Romans. This integration/assimilation facilitated the continuation of their cultural and economic contributions within a broader imperial context. Their contributions to trade, architecture, and cultural exchange highlight the interconnectedness of ancient societies and the importance of understanding these relationships in the broader historical narrative.

   Determination of scholarship research vis-a-vis the authors rubbish narishkeit of Michael Ruark, simply requires a tad of research. Recommend The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant: c. 8000-332 BCE” edited by Margreet L. Steiner and Ann E. Killebrew. This handbook provides a broad overview of archaeological findings across the Levant, including Edom, and situates them within the larger context of ancient Near Eastern history. It includes contributions from various scholars who are experts in their respective fields, ensuring a well-rounded and scholarly approach to the subject matter. It underwent serious scholastic rigorous academic scrutiny, enhancing its good name credibility.

   This source, it seems to me, particularly valuable for understanding the Edomites within the broader archaeological and historical framework of the region. Thomas E. Levy, an archaeologist known for his work in the southern Levant, particularly in Edom. Margreet L. Steiner, mentioned above, edited the “Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant.” His scholarship has contributed to the understanding of the cultural and historical context of Edom and its neighbors.

   This blog paper, by stark contrast, contains several claims about the Edomites that reflect a biased or oversimplified view of their history and interactions with other groups. The Edomites simply not a monolithic group; their society – diverse in terms of social structure, culture, and interactions. Archaeological evidence indicates that Edomite society included various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and practices. This diversity historically reflected in the different archaeological sites and artifacts found in Edom, which strongly supports the theory that this civilization existed as a complex society with varying degrees of interaction with neighboring cultures.

   While scholarly debate flourishes about the nature of Edomite conversion, especially among Xtians who base their “opinions” solely upon secondary or tertiary sources, essential actual scholarship recognizes, that the conversion forced conversion of Esau to Judaism, a minor non biblical reference. The Hasmonean dynasty’s forced conversion represented an exceptionally complex process influenced by various factors, including political alliances, cultural exchanges, and individual choices. Many Edomites may have embraced Judaism for personal, social, or economic reasons, reflecting the fluidity of cultural identity in the ancient world.

   Edomite history in point of fact, characterized by its resilience and adaptation. After the fall of their kingdom, Edomites migrated and integrated into surrounding societies, including Judah. The fall of the 10 Tribe kingdom of Israel to the Assyrian empire likewise witnessed mass assimilation. Their ability to adapt to changing political landscapes demonstrates the complexity of their identity and the shared histories with neighboring groups. Simply crucial to challenge stereotypes and generalizations about the Edomites and related groups. The Edomites do not compare to Moavites. The latter qualify merely as adversaries of the Israelites; the society of Edom reflects a complex society with their own traditions, beliefs, and contributions to the region’s history. Emphasizing their individuality and complexity generally helps to combat oversimplified narratives.

   Throughout history, various groups have faced displacement, conflict, and cultural change. The Jews the only civilization which experienced repeated g’lut/exile and following 2000+ years which witnessed the bankruptcy of the Xtian and Muslim civilizations, did the Jewish people raise our dead civilization from the grave and begin our National self determination to restore the Torah Constitutional Republic built around Sanhedrin lateral common law courts with the mandate to establish law through ‘Legislative Review’ of all Governmental statute laws. By acknowledging the shared human experiences of struggle, adaptation, and resilience, we can promote empathy and understanding among different cultural and ethnic groups. By recognizing the diversity within Edomite society, challenging stereotypes, and fostering discussions that highlight shared histories and commonalities, we can promote a more nuanced understanding of the Edomites and their interactions with other groups, most especially with the Jewish people. This approach encourages empathy and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences that transcend cultural and historical differences.

   The article 2nd article written by Mike Ruark, it similarly presents a narrative that attempts to outline the differences and historical context between Judaism and Samaritanism. However, it contains several inaccuracies, oversimplifications, and potentially biased interpretations that warrant a critical examination. Literal vs. Allegorical Interpretation: The claim that Samaritans believe in a literal interpretation of the Torah while Jews interpret it allegorically represents a gross distortion and perverted oversimplification. Both groups have diverse interpretations of their respective texts, and Jewish tradition, obviously does not limit itself to the Written Five Books of the Torah, as does the Samaritan tradition. The kabbalah known as Pardes, defines the various methods of interpretation which interpret Torah law as examined through prophetic mussar and halachic precedents.

   The Samaritans rejected Torah law as a common law legal system. Their rejection of T’NaCH common law goes hand-in-glove with their equal rejection of Talmudic common law. Michael Ruark your complete and total ignorances of PARDES Oral Torah kabbalah places you squarely within the camp of the Samaritans.

   Your shallow perverted article suggests a linear progression of conflict between Jews and Samaritans without adequately addressing the complexities of their historical interactions. The relationship has been influenced by various political, social, and religious factors over centuries, and the narrative presented lacks nuance.

   Phrases like “the vast majority of the nine tribes’ members were captivated and carried away abroad” can be seen as pejorative. The language used throughout the article often implies a negative connotation towards the Samaritans, which may not reflect an objective historical perspective. Your shallow researched article mentions conflicts such as the Samaritan Revolt of 740 CE but does not provide sufficient context or detail about the causes and consequences of these events. This lack of depth can lead to misunderstandings about the nature of the relationships between the two groups.

   Your absurd declaration that “Samaritans generally do not recognize the legitimacy of the Jewish state of Israel” is vague and lacks supporting evidence. It is essential to clarify that views within the Samaritan community may vary, and not all Samaritans hold the same political opinions. Your pathetic attempt to promote conflict between Jews and the tiny sect of surviving Samaritans merits nothing but utter derision and contempt. Your use of pejorative terms – utterly disgusting.

   While your poorly written article makes feeble attempts to outline the distinctions between Judaism and Samaritanism, it clearly falls short in providing a fair and accurate representation of the historical interactions as codified within the Talmud. Your propaganda non-nuanced slander over-simplifies inherent complexities of both peoples traditions. Your vain hostility openly apparent, you would do better to strive to foster & improve a better understanding and dialogue between the two groups, instead of rabble rouse.

   1. Moshe, I’ve had the privilege of visiting Israel several times and have found it to be a remarkably diverse and deeply relevant culture. I’ve had opportunities to interact with both Reformed and Hasidic Jews—each encounter brought something unique and thought-provoking. I remain indebted to the insights you’ve shared, and I appreciate the depth of your perspective.

         Historical Narrative: Timeline of Key Events and Figures

         Tzeddukim (Sadducees): A Jewish sect active during the Second Temple period, known for their rejection of oral law and emphasis on the written Torah.

         Karaites: Emerged in the 8th century, rejecting rabbinic authority and relying solely on the Hebrew Bible for religious practice.

         Saadia Gaon (882–942 CE): A prominent Jewish philosopher and legal scholar who integrated Jewish thought with Islamic philosophy and emphasized rationalism.

         Rambam (Maimonides, 1135–1204 CE): A key figure in Jewish law and philosophy, known for his works like the Mishneh Torah and Guide for the Perplexed.

         Shlomo (Solomon): Often refers to King Solomon, known for his wisdom and contributions to Jewish thought, particularly in the context of the Hebrew Bible.

         David: King David, a central figure in Jewish history, known for uniting the tribes of Israel and establishing Jerusalem as the capital.

         Philosophical/Jurisprudential Argument: Key Concepts

         Pardes vs Greek logic:

         Pardes: A method of interpreting Jewish texts that includes four levels: Peshat (literal), Remez (hint), Drash (interpretative), and Sod (mystical).

         Greek Logic: Refers to the rational and philosophical frameworks established by Greek philosophers, emphasizing deductive reasoning and empirical evidence.

         Saadia Gaon and Rambam, though themselves deeply engaged with rediscovered Greek thought, fiercely opposed the Karaites and placed them under excommunication, just as the ancient P’rushim did to the Tzeddukim.

         Common Law vs. Statute Law:

         Common Law: A legal system based on judicial decisions and precedents rather than written Legislative statute decrees, allowing for flexibility and adaptation.

         Statute Law: A legal system based on written government laws usually enacted by some legislative body, providing clear and codified rules. Both the Tzeddukim and Karaites denied the Sanhedrin’s legislative review. Both prioritized “belief systems” over the Torah’s demand for judicial justice—restoring damages, making peace between Jews.

         The Karaim, while not as radical as Samaritans, still rejected the prophetic mussar of NaCH, as taught through Talmudic Aggadah – as binding mussar precedents which shape the k’vanna of mitzvot elevated to Av tohor time-oriented Torah commandments.

         Theological Critique: Key Issues

         Assimilation: The process by which Jewish communities adopt elements of surrounding alien Goyim cultures & customs; potentially leading to a dilution of Jewish Cohen-identity and practice.

         Karaites, like the ancient Tzeddukim, rejected the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev; as as similarly does NT Xtians and Muslims. This rejection undermines the core of Jewish law – as a judicial common law system. Both movements embraced Greek deductive logic over Rabbi Akiva’s Pardes inductive sh’itta\methodology—the (so to speak) loom that weaves warp and weft into a common cultural fabric which shapes and defines the identity of the chosen Cohen people and equally separates Talmudic law from Avoda Zara.

         (Idolatry): The worship of foreign gods or practices that contradict Jewish Oath brit alliance which continuously creates the chosen Cohen people through the dedication of tohor time-oriented Av commandments throughout the generations, often critiqued in the context of historical interactions with other cultures and religions.
         ______________________________________________
         ______________________________________________

         First let’s address the Title of this piece. Karaites, like their predecessor Tzeddukim, they reject the revelation of the Oral Torah. The After meal blessing, remembers the Tzeddukim attempt to cause Israel to forget the Oral Torah. Both the ancient Tzeddukim remembered through the mitzva of lighting the Lights of Hanukkah; their ignoble disgrace, of a pre-New Testament Civil War which rejects the Oral Torah revelation of Horev just as much as does the church today; and the Karaites who relied upon Greek deductive logic to determine that a mezzuzza on the door post must include the 10 commandments – neither the in ancient times, nor the stupidity of the Middle Ages from about 900 CE, which aroused the indignation of Saadia Gaon (882–942 CE), and the even more famous Maimonides (1135–1204) – likewise both heretics who in their own way perverted the Horev revelation of the Oral Torah – both men highly assimilated following the rediscovery of ancient Greek texts which had dominated the ancient Tzeddukim, to reject the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev, and the Legislative Review Torah mandate of Sanhedrin common law courtrooms.

         Nonetheless both scholars absolutely rejected the Karaite heretical but similar rejection of the Courtroom authority of Sanhedrin common law to rule the Jewish Republic through the mandate of Legislative Review. Both rabbinic authorities placed the Karaite supporters into a charem excommunication just as did the ancient P’rushim did to the Tzeddukim sons of Aaron.

         Both Saadia and the Rambam violated the Torah commandment not to duplicate how the Goyim worship their Gods. Commonly referred to today as “ASSIMILATION”\”AVODA ZARA”. The re-discovery of the ancient Greek texts by the Muslim invasion of Spain reopened the Tzeddukim Civil War can of worms – some thousand years after the P’rushim lit the Hanukkah lights … the Rambam embraced Roman statute law which effectively abandoned the study of Talmudic common law. Cults of personality rabbinic personalities, like for example Yosef Karo, dominated the determination of halacha rather than Sanhedrin courts room common law jurisprudence which stands upon the foundation of judicial precedents.

         The revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev, 40 days following the Sin of the Golden Calf, on Yom Kippur: rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah – known throughout the Talmudic and Gaonic Midrashim literature as “PARDES” p’shat, drosh; remiz, sod. This logic format radically differed from the ancient Greek deductive reasoning based upon the model of the 3-Part syllogism. The Talmudic codification of the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s 4-Part Pardes inductive logic. This Pardes system of logic – it Organized both the 6 Orders of the Mishna and its Gemara commentary made there after, based upon the working model of a LOOM.

         A loom has warp & weft opposing threads. The codification of Oral Torah common law into the written Talmud seeks to employ Pardes inductive precedent based learning as the basis to shape and determine the Jewish, chosen Cohen people, common law as the chosen cultural identity that the Cohen people choose to define their unique cultural identity as the people of Avraham, Yitzak and Yaacov.

         The Talmud prioritized judicial common law as the basis of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Tzeddukim and Karaism, Samaritans and New Testament Xtians all universally reject the definition of faith: Book of D’varim comprehension: the righteous pursuit of judicial common law justice which dedicates, (think korban), the sanctification of common law courtrooms/Sanhedrins making fair restoration of damages inflicted by Jews upon other Jews as the WAY to make shalom among the divided and conflicting Jewish people.

         Both the Tzeddukim and Karaim instead embraced the Goyim assimilation which defines faith as belief in some theologically determined God personal I-belief- belief systems. The Rambam would write his ‘Mishna Torah’ statute law code based upon Greek and Roman statute law which organizes law into judicial categories like farmers sell eggs by the dozen.

         T’NaCH & Talmudic common law shaped rabbi Yechuda’s Sha’s common law; all of which base Torah common law upon the Book of D’varim; consequent to its second defining Name: Mishna Torah. The latter means “Common Law”. Rabbi Yechuda’s Mishna, a common law judicial system. The D’varim judicial mandate empowers the Sanhedrin Federal Court-room system to exert their Torah constitutional mandate of Legislative Review (A second interpretation of Mishna Torah) over all governments, kings, or Tribal Prince lead governments of Judges.

         Both the ancient Tzeddukim and Middle Ages Karaim rejected the prioritization of common law Sanhedrin courtrooms as having the mandate power of Legislative Review. Hence small wonder that the new testament revolt likewise in this same vein rejects the revelation of Oral Torah pursuit of judicial common law justice. Both the Tzeddukim and Karaim rejected the common law basis of law, that later court Judicial ruling stand upon prior Sanhedrin common law courts judicial rulings – like as codified in the 6 Orders of rabbi Yechuda’s Mishna.

         The later Karaim did not go as far as the ancient Samaritans. Who replaced the 10 Tribal kingdom known as Israel. These latter-day saints, they too rejected the Oral Torah prophetic mussar as codified throughout the NaCH prophets and Holy Writings! The Karaim did not reject the masoret of the NaCH. The restricted their rejection of the Oral Torah restricted only to their rejection of the authority of the Talmud. However, lacking the Pardes Kabbalah they lacked the wisdom skills required to affix prophetic mussar precedents to determine the k’vanna of tohor time-oriented commandments; they lacked the wisdom to do mitzvot L’shma. The Mishna Torah common law re-interpretation of Written Torah based on positive/negative commandment precedents & T’NaCH prophetic mussar. The public sanctification of the Name – only achieved when Jews elevate toldoth Torah commandments unto Av tohor time-oriented commandments.

         The much later Talmudic common law codification employs, so to speak, a 70 faces to the Torah — blue-print, diamond faceted, re-interpretation. Through employment of halacha contained within Gemara sugyot as the precedents by which to view the language of the Mishna, based upon an all together different sugya of Gemara- halachic perspective.

         Hence the Baali Tosafot common law commentary to the Talmud likewise jumps off the dof of any given Gemara, to re-interpret a given Gemara sugya, viewed from a wholly different sugya perspective. Much like and similar to a building contractor reads a blue-print which contains a front/top\side view. Ancient Greek deductive reasoning logic – basically flat or two-dimensional. Hence 19th Century Hyperbolic Geometry refuted Euclid’s 5th Axiom of plain geometry.

         Both the Samaritans, the assimilated Tzeddukim, the NT Xtians, Dark Ages Karaim, and Middle Ages Rambam – they all rejected, or did not grasp the Pardes Kabbalah of logic taught by rabbi Akiva. The warp/weft loom, the Talmud’s most essential definition of Oral Torah, as judicial common law Mishna Torah – Legislative Review. This conflict even dates back to kings David and Shlomo, before the introduction of the Samaritans! The prophet Natan warns David not to copy the ways of the Goyim and build a massive Cathedral like church/Temple. The Jerushalmi Talmud carries this 3 opposed by 3 Tannaim dispute, which debates the issue whether king David after conquering Damascus established that city as a City of Refuge with its own small Sanhedrin Federal Capital Crimes Courtroom.

         Just as king Shlomo’s son at Sh’Cem rejected the advice given by the elder advisors to king Shlomo; so too young king Shlomo likewise rejected the prophetic mussar of the prophet Natan; king Shlomo decided to construct a grand duplication of how Goyim civilizations worship their Gods; king Shlomo worshipped avoda zara when he ordered the construction of the First Temple and failed to judge the Capital Crimes case of the two prostitutes – dead baby – before a Great Sanhedrin Federal court in Jerusalem.

         The Talmud refers to this error as “Descending Generations”. This idea starkly contrasts with Calvin’s theology known as “Predestination”. The descending generations idea views downstream generations comparable to ripples consequent to a stone striking a pond. Once a powerful influential leader, such as either king Shlomo or the Rambam, made their respective decisions. Shlomo prioritized duplicating how the goyim worshipped their Gods by constructing a grand Temple; while Rambam embraced the sh’itta of the T’zeddukim and sought to convert the Talmud (not into a polis city state) but rather into a statute law syllogism Greek logic belief system which perverted faith away from judicial justice — which strives to make fair restitution of damages. Unto a belief system theology which prioritizes the Ego ‘I believe’ avoda zarah and thereby perverts the God of Israel unto just another treif Av Tuma monotheistic god. Monotheism, by definition, profanes the 2nd Sinai commandment.

      3. Moshe,
         Your reflections continue to expand my understanding of the depth and structure of the tradition you uphold. I recognize how central the Oral Torah and the Sanhedrin’s common-law process are in your view — not only as matters of faith, but as the essential framework that preserves justice and identity for the covenant people.

         I appreciate the way you trace historical moments where, in your view, deviation from that process led to assimilation, loss of cohesion, and eventual decline. While I may approach some matters from a different path, I value the insight you’ve shared into how preservation of law and process can be as vital as the preservation of belief itself. Thank you for taking the time to share this with such clarity.

         Interesting. I agree with your view of Ike. I think his Presidency is under appreciated. I disagree with your assessment of Trump. I think his transactional view of life is too tied to his ego. How much money you have is no measure of human value. If one is poor, it is always their fault in one who measures wealth as a marker for what is good or bad in a person.Wealth is power to do good and harm. A transactional view of life is as likely to do harm as good—a great risk for a Democracy. Trump is a danger to America and Israel.
         ________________________________________________________________________
         Cannot speak of President Trumps’ domestic policies, except from an outsiders perspective. Prior to the Covid-19 plague employment for minorities blacks and mexicans in particular reached record breaking success. Its the minority populations who generally qualify as distressed populations. The proof to the pudding – in the eating; record high voting numbers of blacks and mexicans voted for Trump.

         Trumps’ Foreign policy I feel confident upon. In this article I shared with you I showed how the US European alliance had skewed and dominated US foreign policies strategies and perspectives.

         IKE having fought in WWII, hardly a supporter of Europe dominating US strategic policies. The US pulled Britain & Frances cookies out of the fire and not the reverse!

         Hence IKE used the 1956 Suez Crisis as an opportunity to smack down the top tier status of arrogant Limeys and Frogs.

         LBJ reverted back to the Truman era European approach. IKE despised Truman. Truman’s foreign policy stood on two legs. 1. The Marshal Plan 2. The Containment Policy. The former Aid in exchange of US military bases stationed in foreign countries, resulted in US military bases in over 155 countries according to Ron Paul when he chaired some US foreign policy Congressional Committee. Consequently I trust his opinion as an authoritative Primary Source. The latter leg, shaped the Two-State Solution which so utterly dominated LBJ’s foreign policy, as well as President Truman his predecessor. The two-state solution dominated the Korean and Vietnam Wars!

         This British foreign policy of imposing two states – a Xtian NT kingdom divided against itself old and utterly bankrupt corrupt idea. This foreign policy defined how the Roman ruled their empire.

         Its important not to focus upon personalities steering the boat but rather the course taking by the ship of State. Trump Derangement Syndrome seems bat shit crazy in my estimation. The Democrats have lost the helm direction of the ship of State precisely over their rabid anti-Trump insanity.

         Utterly abhor and detest Obama as President. And based upon what Tulsi Gabbard and others have revealed the corruption post ’16 elections the worst scandal in US History. And that’s saying a lot. Recall that Trump ran on the slogan of cleaning up the Washington SWAMP and the Heads of the FBI, CIA, NSA worked in conjunction with CNN NBC CBS and ABC!!! I hope that Trump breaks this Government established media monopoly on the order of Teddy ‘Big Stick’ Roosevelt.

         Trump succeeded through the Abraham Accords. This IKE like Foreign policy slapped down the EU/UN alliance. Recall Trump rebuked the EU over its contributions to the NATO alliance in his first term. This policy goes hand in glove with Washington and Jefferson absolute distrust of making strategic alliances with Europe.

         The foundation of the US decision to hitch its wagon to Western Europe began with the Wilson Government to made the Government Central Bank monopoly of private banking/Federal Reserve. He slipped this clear refutation of President Andrew Jackson’s closure of the 2nd National Bank in 1825 with only 3 people sitting in Congress prior to Xmas!!!! What a disgrace!

         The New government private banking Central Bank monopoly butt fucked the American economy. Its duplicated the European tradition of Central Governments establishing Corporate Monopolies. Recall the US revolutionaries throwing.

         The British empire sought to break the Chinese Tea monopoly, dominated by the Qing Dynasty. The British East India Company was initially interested in tea for its popularity in Britain. British officials discovered that the climate in regions like Assam and Darjeeling was suitable for tea cultivation.

         As a matter of perspective, the British likewise developed a stain of long stand cotton in Egypt in 1864. Hence England did not join the Confederacy attempt. British textile industries absolutely relied upon Southern long stand cotton prior to Egypt developing a stain of long stand cotton in 1864.

         English tea monopoly in India, such as the Assam Company (founded in 1839), were established to manage tea production and export. These companies controlled the entire supply chain, from cultivation to export, effectively creating a monopoly over Indian tea. The establishment of the English tea monopoly in India had lasting effects on the economy, society, and culture, shaping the tea industry as we know it today. This same fact equally applies to Wilson’s government established monopoly known as the Federal Reserve in 1913.

         The US joined the British and French alliance during WWI & WWII consequent to huge loans which the non elected Federal Reserve unilaterally decided to give to the governments of London and Paris!

         Post WWII Europe stood exhausted and utterly bankrupt. Hence IKE in the Suez Crisis immediately slapped the British and French down. Israel’s government of Ben Gurion agreed to return the captured Sinai with no Egyptian compensation for damages in return for IKE removing England and France as top tier ‘Great Powers’ in the Middle East.

         LBJ, tied down in Vietnam, permitted London and Paris to write UN Resolution 242. This UN Resolution serves as the foundation of all hostile UN Condemnations of Israel to this very day! Obama’s UN Resolution 2334 sucked the butt’s of England and France. What an absolute disgrace!

         President Trump’s Abraham Accords directly compares to the policies of IKE during the Suez Crisis of ’56. British and French divide and rule hostile imperialism argues that peace in the Middle East depends upon dhimmi stateless Arab refugee populations scattered across the face of the Middle East! President Trump slapped the European hogwash straight across their fat jowls! He argues that peace in the Middle East first and foremost must come from independent nation states in the Middle East making shalom with Israel. And NOT carving up Israel into two hostile states like as did the post WWII Allies did with Germany!! Trump argues its simply not the place of the “international community” rhetoric propaganda to determine NOT the Capital of Israel NOR the international borders of the Jewish state. NO the Arab states who make peace with Israel, like as did both Egypt and Jordan, these peace treaties, THEY and THEY alone determine the international borders of the Jewish state.

         As of late many countries in the “fraud” international community of nations, have taken up the kudgel to unilaterally recognize an independent Gaza following the Oct 7th abomination. President Trump rejects this arrogance with complete utter revulsion. Reward Arab terrorists for the Oct7th surprise attack upon Israel? You fool foreign countries have utterly lost your rational minds!

         Therefore, based upon this general comparison of US foreign policy based upon the roots of the US as an independent nation, I support and approve of President Trumps leadership.

         Domestically the 37 Trillion dollar debt takes America straight back to the 1860-65 Civil War. Doge closure of fat corrupt Federal “carpet bagger” bureaucracies – which in ’16 Trump referred to as “The Swamp”, this policy argues that the States of the Union have the Rights (based upon the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution) to bureaucratically regulate all intra-State trade and commerce independent from Big Brother carpet bagger Federal bureaucraps.

      5. Thank you, Moshe, for sharing your insights into the shaping of our political systems. I especially value your recognition of how British imperialism and U.S. banking monopolies, such as the Federal Reserve, have influenced both domestic and foreign policy. Those are perspectives that deserve more attention and understanding.

      6. As of August 18, 2025, MSNBC will officially change its name to My Source News Opinion World, abbreviated as MS NOW. This significant rebranding is part of a broader corporate restructuring following NBC Universal’s decision to spin off several cable networks, including MSNBC, into a new company called Versant.

         The rebranding of MSNBC to MS NOW is not directly attributed to the Russia-Gate controversy, but it does reflect broader shifts in the media landscape and the network’s evolving identity. While the name change to MS NOW is part of a corporate restructuring and an effort to establish a distinct identity, it also signals a desire to move beyond past controversies and focus on future content and audience engagement. The network aims to redefine itself in a rapidly changing media environment, rather than being solely defined by its past coverage of Trump and Russia-Gate.

         While the Russia-Gate saga played a role in shaping MSNBC’s identity and audience during Trump’s first term, the decision to rebrand is more about the network’s strategic direction and independence following its spin-off from NBC Universal. The Russia-Gate controversy has been a contentious topic, particularly regarding how various media outlets, including MSNBC and its prominent host Rachel Maddow, covered the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. During the Russia-Gate saga, she focused on various aspects of the investigation, including connections between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

         The Mueller Report, released in 2019, concluded that while there were numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives, the investigation did not establish that the campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference efforts. The characterization of Rachel Maddow’s promotion of the Russia-Gate narrative as a “hoax” reflects a polarized political landscape where interpretations of media coverage can vary widely. Media overreach, Trump 2.0 has exposed. Political journalism promoted by a Pravda press corporate established monopoly – that ship has sailed.

         The characterization of media outlets, including MSNBC and figures like Rachel Maddow, as part of a “Pravda press” reflects a growing sentiment among some groups that mainstream media serves specific political agendas rather than providing unbiased reporting. This perception contributes to the polarization of public opinion and distrust in traditional news sources. The consolidation of media ownership has raised concerns about the diversity of viewpoints presented in the news. Critics argue that corporate interests can shape narratives, leading to a lack of accountability and a focus on sensationalism over substantive reporting. This has led to calls for more independent journalism that prioritizes transparency and integrity.

         The Lame Stream Legacy Media – Fake News – dead in the water. The rise of alternative media platforms and independent journalists presents opportunities for diverse perspectives but also challenges regarding credibility and reliability. The call for a more balanced and accountable media is increasingly relevant in this context.

         Streaming media outlets like Google You Tube attract far larger News viewing audience than does Cable Television. Streaming platforms like YouTube have attracted a larger and more diverse audience compared to traditional cable news channels. This is largely due to the accessibility of online content, allowing viewers to watch news on-demand and from various sources. YouTube and similar platforms enable greater interaction between content creators and viewers. Users can comment, share, and engage with news stories in real-time, fostering a sense of community and participation that traditional cable news often lacks.

This diversity allows viewers to choose sources that align with their interests and perspectives, contributing to a more personalized news experience. Many viewers are moving away from cable subscriptions due to high costs. Streaming services often provide free or lower-cost options, making news more accessible to a broader audience. Younger generations, in particular, are more inclined to consume news through digital platforms rather than traditional cable. This trend is reshaping how news organizations approach content delivery, often prioritizing online engagement and social media presence.

         While streaming platforms provide diverse viewpoints, they also face challenges related to misinformation and the spread of unverified content. News organizations must navigate these issues to maintain credibility and trust with their audiences. Face Book, once the biggest player has seen its market share collapse after it together with Twitter threw the 2020 elections by censoring the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and Hillery Clinton’s treason.

         The Lame Stream Media concealment of the mental health of President Biden and the flavor of ice cream he likes soft ball questions has aroused a strong sense among the American people that the Corporate Government established monopolies have betrayed American Constitutional Rights.

         Critics argue that the Lame-stream media often downplays or conceals information that could influence public perception. This has led to a growing sentiment among some Americans that the media is not fulfilling its role as an independent watchdog, but rather acting in alignment with corporate interests. The perception that corporate entities, including media organizations, have employed their lobbies to have the government to establish protected monopolies – far from limited to Obama-care corruption – raises concerns about the integrity of democratic processes. Many individuals feel that these government established & protected government monopolies prioritize profits over the public good, leading to a betrayal of American Constitutional Rights. This sentiment, particularly strong among those who believe that the media should provide unbiased information and hold public figures accountable.

         As a result of these perceptions, there is a growing erosion of trust in both the media and government institutions e.g. corporate protected monopolies, first and foremost Wilson’s 1913 Federal Reserve. Many Americans feel that their rights to access truthful information and engage in open discourse are being compromised. This distrust results in increased polarization which rips the fabric of our society as a nation. A sense of disconnection from the political process, makes Americans distrust the bought and paid for political process that “styles” itself as a “Democracy”.

         In light of these concerns, there are calls for greater accountability from both media organizations and government Corporate protected monopoly entities. Advocates argue for the need to ensure that media coverage is fair, transparent, and representative of diverse viewpoints. Rather than a propaganda vomit of emotional opinions and superficial over reactions.

         Additionally, there is a push for regulations that address the influence of corporate interests on public discourse and democratic processes. The ongoing discussions about media representation, corporate influence, and the protection of constitutional rights will continue to shape the political landscape and public sentiment in the United States. Addressing these issues is crucial for restoring trust and ensuring a healthy Republic, wherein the State Legislatures determine what Federal Senators and Congress-persons present as bills before Congress.
