Ask JTF for Sunday, November 15, 2009.
« on: November 07, 2009, 04:55:06 PM »
Shalom Chaim,

As devastating as affirmative action and socialist government economic meddling and dependence on Nazi foreign oil is, the single biggest threat to the worldwide economy is the 500 or so billionaire investors (many of them Saudi oil Nazis) who essentially control the entire economy via their cartel action. They just pour their money into any stock item they want to boost the price of, and they have infinite amounts of money. These highway robbers are responsible for the phony housing boom and crash and our absurdly inflated energy prices, the two reasons why the economy went in the toilet and tens of millions of people worldwide lost their jobs. Since these pigs and the multinational corporations they own control virtually all governments around the world via campaign financing (or outright bribery), regimes all around the world, in all major political parties, do their bidding to a T (just look at all the bailouts here and worldwide).

Just think--without the massive overhead that we pay to lazy Wall Street pigs who have never worked an honest day in their lives, in terms of real supply/demand, oil would currently be costing us less than 15 dollars a barrel and a new house would cost forty thousand dollars (especially since construction labor costs are so vastly less now than a couple generations ago [i.e. illegal alien labor]). That would cause a sustained, likely permanent, economic boom the likes of which the world has never before seen.

If we were to get off of oil like we so desperately need to do, I can promise you that we would shortly see the hedge funds pouring their hundreds of billions of dollars into electricity, natural gas, nuclear, or ethanol stocks so that soon enough, we would have another energy crisis just as bad as the current one with petroleum and we would be right back to square one.

Realistically what could a genuinely conservative government do about this all-powerful international cartel? Since we aren't going to get rid of the stock market anytime soon, is this simply a hopeless situation?

G-d bless,
Bonesfan

Dear Chaim, why are Christians persecuted in India? I thought India was a non-Muslim country and unlike the Muslims the Hindus are non-violent people who wouldn't hurt flies. This is especially true in Orissa. I don't mind Hindus killing Muslims but when they kill Christians, it bothers me.

Dear Chaim,

Why are we allowing Muslims in our millitary If you were Prime Minister what would you do with Isreals millitary system? Also What African American story do you for this week? What do you think of the country of Africa it's people and landscape?

Dear Chaim,

I was recently looking at books in a Jewish library, and I found a Hebrew book called "הייל כהנא" (Heil Kahane) by Yair Kotler. I didn't get a chance to look at the book, but I assume based on the title that the author was trying to compare Rabbi Kahane to Hitler. Are you familiar with this book? Have you read it?

Every other teenager or young adult feels "lost" at some point of their lives and look into their spiritual gut for answers. That's why many become vulnerable to brainwashing, drugs, stupid fads, Obama worship, or righteous or evil activism. You joined the JDL at the age of 14 (pretty young to be an activist). Was there any point before that or during your teens or 20's that you felt lost, had liberal tendencies, or second thoughts about what you were doing.  Were there any dilemas about girls or silly trends that conflicted you Judaism and the JDL?  What advice would you give young Israelis and other JTFers regarding these things?

Thank you

Shalom Chaim,

Last Wednesday, November 12th, was Rhodesian Independence Day. I want you to take some time to explain to our listeners what Rhodesia was, what happened to it, and what lessons can be learned from it for America and for the Western world. And say some kind of blessing to honor all of the innocent Rhodesians who were murdered by Robert Mugabe and his black thugs with the full complicity of Margaret Thatcher and Jimmy Carter in what was the worst war crime of the 1970s.

Shalom Chaim,
I don't believe the animal who shot unarmed soldiers was acting alone. The numbers just don't add up - 13 killed, 30 wounded from two handguns? The reports say that he reloaded ONCE and that he had plenty of magazines (full of course) in his pockets. Assuming that he had 9mm handguns, it would give him 15 bullet per clip. If it was 40 caliber - about 12 bullet per clip. Handguns are a close combat weapon - it is very difficult to hit a running person. All soldiers were fully trained to manuevre under fire, afterall they were sceduled to be deployed to Iraq.

This type of carnage can only be performed by a group or by a single shooter with a machine gun or fully automatic assault rifle or by a well placed sniper. All initial reports stated that there were more than one shooter. Of course, if there is more than one shooter, it would be impossible to pretend that it wasn't a planned terrorist attack by an embedded islamic cell.

I wonder if Ron Paul's kooks will entertain this conspiracy?

Dear Chaim,

- What do you think about right-wing Zionist rappers like Subliminal and Hazel? I know that Subliminal made a song named "HaTikvah", and Hazel made a song along with Subliminal called "The Last Zionist".

- What were Rabbi Meir Kahane's (may he rest in peace) economic and social views? Was he a Capitalist like you are?

- How do you feel about righteous Atheists? I mean people who are good, moral people who support Jews and strive to make the world a better place, but personally do not believe in G-D like Geert Wilders. Can you really blame people who were raised Secular and stay Atheists?

- Why do you think that the government should enforce morality? Personally, I don't see why the government feels the need to regulate television, since responsible parents can just put child blocks on the television. I grew up watching Scarface, Goodfellas, and the Godfather while in middle school on HBO, along with playing violent video games, and I don't feel the need to shoot people up because the guy in my video game did it. I think people who do this stuff are just sick in the head, there's no reason that we need to censor Grand Theft Auto brand video games because of "violence", our children are being too sheltered! These little white suburban kids who grow up sheltered are the only people I see who go crazy and shoot up schools. Whenever blacks do it, it's mostly because it's gang related, and nobody questions video games. To people living in the inner city, this is just life, so they don't get bothered by fake guns on the video games. I personally believe that we're being too soft on our kids and protecting them too much. What do you think?

- What do you think about extraterrestrial life? I've heard that there are trillions of billions of stars, and each of these stars have their own planetary system with multiple planets. When you think about it, there has to be some chance for life. That doesn't mean that aliens visit us but I'm talking about any type of life. Do you think there is only bacteria and other small life forms, or that there are possibly people like us? When you think about this stuff, it's really interesting. What if G-D created millions of planets with life forms like us on it, and is testing each of us to see which planet will become the most righteous and which will become the more eviler planet? I'm getting ahead of myself now, but what do you think about this topic? Is anything like this mentioned in the Torah?

PS: It's funny that how everywhere my family goes, we get money and great jobs, and then people take the money away. I mean it's really so sad that it's hilarious. After my Sefardic ancestors moved to Uzbekistan, we eventually became doctors and dentists in the Russian Empire. One of my ancestors got so rich that he built a feudal style manor in Tashkent, and had a lot of people working on it. Of course, the Bolsheviks took over his manor, put him in a work camp and nobody saw him again. This was the grandfather of my grandmother. My father's ancestors grew up pretty poor along with my father but then my father started up a small business and got money in Tashkent. After the Soviet Union collapsed, his house got robbed and the Jews got threatened to convert to Islam or die, our families left to the United States and some to Israel. I'm getting into business, and even in high school, I'm taking college level economics classes. I can assure you, if I continue our family legacy in America (hopefully and by G-D's will), you expect a mass donation that will make you into a mass movement. Hopefully no Communists or Muslims take away the fruits of our labor in America. Long live the JTF!

Dear Chaim:

Hope all is well.  Here are my questions for the week:

(1) Do you think that righteous people have the power to bless and curse in today's day and age?

(2) Chaim, I agree with you that we should be so lucky that oil become a worthless commodity due to a scientific breakthrough.  Wouldn't it be ironic if a Jewish scientist made such a discovery.  Anyways, I fear that aftermath if such a scientific discovery became a reality. The law of unintended consequences may take effect. Just imagine a world where oil is worthless. Arab and Muslim countries would be left without any source of significant income.  1.5 billion Muslims on the verge of starvation.  Mass emigration from these Islamic countries to Europe and America. Arabs sneaking into Israel for a chance to work, G-D forbid.    Liberals, leftists and Muslim lovers pushing through massive "humanitarian aid" legislation to help these people, driving the west further in debt.  Arabs in Europe rioting and committing acts of massive civil but more likely uncivil disobedience to pressure their governments to help their "brethren." And as Arabs and Muslims usually do, blame Israel and the "Jewish controlled West." Do you think this is a realistic assessment of what could happen and how should rightous people and government's react in such a scenario?

(3) How would Prime Minister Chaim Ben Pesach deal with discrimination against Sephardim and Ethiopians in Israel?  From what I read in the english Israeli newspapers, this is unfortunately not an uncommon problem, that our Sephardim and Ethiopian brothers suffer discrimination in the workforce, schools and other institutions in Israel.   What sort of legal action or legislation or other equitable remedies would you be in favor of? Do you think this is a real problem today?

If a ferocious dog attacks a person, how does the Halakha, the Jewish law, punish the owner?

Do you think there is generally an increase of dog bites compared to the past?

And what is the best way to protect oneself in case of an aggressive dog?

Shalom Chaim,

I saw an infomercial for the organization, IFCJ (International Fellowship of Christians and Jews): On Wings of Eagles. According to them, "On Wings of Eagles helps rescue Jews from the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, India, Arab lands and other countries where they struggle daily against anti-Semitism and battered economies." Do you think this is a righteous organization?

Thanks,
Patches

Shalom Chaim,

Thanks for smacking around Libs, Jew-haters, and various other vermin for the rest of us.

Last week someone asked about the Alex Haley‘s “Roots”. There was an excellent article recently at American Thinker that describes what a fraud Alex Haley was and that his character Kunte Kinte was a fabrication. His "nonfiction" Pulitzer Prize-winning book was plagiarized from a fictional one. Haley was sued in a U.S. District Court for copyright infringement, and in the trial he was totally exposed as a liar. Under threat of being prosecuted for perjury, his lawyers counseled him to settle for $650,000, which was a lot back then. The settlement got almost no media attention, and still today few people know these facts. Surprised? Story here: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/before_dreams_there_was_roots.html

1)  Mark Steyn (not Jewish) is a very bright and witty writer and commentator, and his politics are solidly conservative and pro-Israel. His excellent book “America Alone” was a clarion call for Europe and America to wake up to the threat of Islam. Have you read “America Alone”? Do you have an opinion of him or his work?

2)  As America’s crack up accelerates, would it be wrong, or a type of loshon hara to rub it into the faces of liberal morons and say, “Told ya.” I have lib friends who are losing their jobs and going through rough times. I try to sympathize with them, and resist kicking them when they are down. But you must surely understand the temptation! They still don’t think Obama has had anything to do with it. Is there anyone more dense, more moronic, than a Liberal? Other than, of course, a Jewish Liberal?

3)  Rashi makes mention of a belief that when the stones were hewn for the Beit Hamikdash, a small creature known as the ‘shamir’, was used. The creature, he says, was able to penetrate and crumble stones along a drawn line. Do you know anything more about this fascinating creature? What’s the meaning behind this?

Thanks and Chazak v’emahtz!

what is your over all feeling about this recent skirmish between the two Korean navies?  do you see a possible nuclear war stemming from Korea?

Also, do you think that ehud barak will lose the labor party leadership if they go to primaries in 2010, and if how would that affect pee pee netanyoyo's coalition?

one last thing...where is the tomb or gravesite of Yehuda Ha Macabbi?

Dear Chaim,

     What do you think the world will be like in the next 5 years? Any major events etc.
     Also, I read in one of my textbooks that the civilization of Islam "arose in the Near East in the 7th and 8th centuries, it very quickly became the most sophisticated and advanced civilization west of China. In about 150 years, Islam spread throughout the Middle East, into parts of India, all across the north of Africa, and even into much of Spain. In addition to making a stark comparison with faltering Europe, Islam cut off Europeans from easy travel to Asia and Africa, isolating them even more."  Is this the same Islam that we are battling today?
Thanks and may Hashem help us.

Dear Chaim:

I just went to a screening of the movie REFUSENIK, It chronicled the movement for the release of soviet jews. I was aastonished that no mention was made of Rabbi Meir Kahane in the movie. Is Rabbi Meir Kahane still so villified in the minds of movie makers that they dont dare mention his accomplishments no matter what? What is the history of his involvement with the movement to release soviet jews?

Last week you mentioned that when you were a young man in the JDL, Rabbi Kahane had a book list and you were required to read books on that list.

What books were on the list?

Hello Dear Chaim, :)

What is your take on Pete Gleason? Earlier this year he ran for City Council, and lost to Margaret Chin. I read that before the elections, the Israeli spoon-bending mentalist Uri Geller had written a letter for Gleason – extolling his support for the Jewish state. Uri Geller wrote: "When many in the world tried to block us from inclusion in the International Red Cross, Pete Gleason supported Israel". Geller also wrote: "Pete's personal experience of responding to the World Trade Center on 9/11 taught him how important global cooperation is given our modern-day challenges. He realizes the importance of the Israelis' experience with responding to terrorism".

What do you think of this?


Thank you as always and Shavu'a Tov,
Gam Bashan veGam Gil'ad. (:


P.S.: I heard Pete was endorsed by... Fernando Ferrerrrrrrrrrrrr!!! :D

Shalom brother Chaim.

I need you help this article I read on rabbi Meir Kahane (may his name and memory be immortalized) by this animal Michael Kauffmaan from the New York Nazi times. He talked about a  double life he allegedly had as Michael King living in the upper east side with model  Gloria Jean D'Argenio. Rabbi Kahane was indeed a handsome man ,and we all make mistakes but is this true?

Is it also true as Kauffmaan states he begged him not to write this .. I feel this part Kauffman had no right to mention because he can’t prove such a thing esp now that the rabbi is not here to defend himself. This article really disturbed me like no other I have ever read. Im am very hurt. Please clarify this for me, and you think of Kauffmaan.

Here is the link to the article "http://www.nytimes.com/1994/03/06/weekinreview/remembering-kahane-and-the-woman-on-the-bridge.html"
Thank you so much for all the work you do.

I'm interested in your opinion about what you believe will be the very likely ramifications and what are the other potential ramifications for the following:   

The horrific decision by Barack Hussein Obama and so called Attorney General Eric Holder for 9-11-01 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his accomplices to be tried by jury in a court in Lower Manhattan?

Shalom Chiam,

I must respond to an answer you made on the commentary of Mamonides (Ram Bam) on Ask JTF the week before last.  I recoiled in horror when you revealed that Mamonides actually wrote that "Allah" and HaShem are the same God because they are both based on monotheism and are not anthropomorsized.  This is absolutely impossible and defies rational comprehension.  Despite the other commentaries he had, one cannot compare Satan to God and say they are the same.  

As pointed out by Craig Winn at prophetofdoom.net, Allah is the only one capable of freely entering and exiting hell and oversees the horrific torture of infidels over and over.  There is no way that Y H W H can do this, he cannot enter Hell.  "Allah" was a demon and mohammed said that he was possessed soon after being "visited" by the "angel Gabriel" alone in a cave, and he can be completely discredited since he had no witnesses to these "revelations" and was a garden variety bloodthirsty warlord who excused his shocking savagery by saying "Allah" ordained it to be so.  Once his demonic minions attacked and destroyed the multicultural arab peninsula they enslaved its inhabitants under pisslam and sharia law, and it would never again know openness and tolerance of Christians and Jews.

Mamonides was a dhimmi in muslim nazi controlled Fez and he also lived in muslim nazi occupied Egypt where he and all Jews were subjugated in a third-class humiliating status.  Obviously if he had said that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was different from the satanic demon hellspawn Satan himself, "Allah", that goads rational people into completely insane bloodlust, he would have been putting his life and those of the Jews around him in jeopardy.  So it would be understandable that he would make up this nonsense to placate the muslim nazis that were dominating over them at the time.

Look at the reality of how brilliant the Jews have been over history and how great they are to this day.  Israel is a magnificent miracle from the loving God of the Torah while muslims live in squalor and filth, attacking everyone who doesn't believe exactly what they want them to believe, burning with jealous hatred at the Jews and everyone else for that matter.  Again, there is no way the Jews and the muslim nazis worship the same God, it is absolutely impossible and completely irrational to think so.

Just wanted to get your opinion on this.

Best regards always and may God bless you for your Holy mission,

SFT

Dear Reb Chaim,

I have this week two difficult and delicate questions.

  • If a real Muslim (I don't mean cultural Muslim or people with Muslim family background) is killed, by the hand of a Jew in Israel, can this be classified as murder?
  • If a real Muslim (I don't mean cultural Muslim or people with Muslim family background) is killed, by the hand of a Christian in a gentile country, can this be classified as murder?

Thank you very much,
