----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

BS"D

Chag Yom Ha'Atzmaut Sameach,

Moadim LeSimcha LeGeulah Shelemah!

1. What do you think about Yom HaShoah? Do you recognize it? What do you think about it being in Nissan? They should have made it on the second or third of Iyar if they wanted it to be right before Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'Atzmaut. They also could have had it on the day of the liberation of the death camps (The Secular date of which is January 27.). The last date seems more appropriate because it is closer to The Tenth of Tevet, the day for the Yahrzeit of the victims whose date of death we don't know. What would a Kahanist government do to change the date of Yom HaShoah?

2. Would a Kahanist government still use the siren on Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron?

Dear Chaim,

1. The humor of Jackie Mason is almost always self-hating.  It portrays the Jews as duplicitous, mercenary and cheap.    Although you can get a chuckle for a second, you slap yourself on the face the next second saying that he is playing into the hands of the Jew haters.  Sure, he hated Dinkins and he is anti-black-Nazi but is it worth it?  Along with his "lover"  Raoul Felder, I think he should be boycotted.

2. Do you think that Yiddish has any legitimate place in the current Jewish lexicon except as a comedic language with words like tuchis, mishugana, Geh kaken,etc.?  Is it just an old language for old people?

Chaim Jr.

Shalom Chaim,

1: What's your opinion on the Nizkor Project? Are they a legitimate organization doing priceless educational work or are they a fraud and a part of the Holocaust Establishment (i.e. more interested in promoting queer rights than honoring the memory of the Six+ Million)? Their home page claims that they are dedicated to "remembering the 12 million victims of the Holocaust", which is a bald-faced lie. Six million additional Gentiles were not targeted for extermination.

2: I yet again, regretfully, have to differ with you. You often say that Israel needs to have a Torah government, but that America needs a constitutional republican model. Why is this? A limited constitutional democracy is a noble ideal, but in practice EVERY SINGLE TIME soon succumbs to mob rule, manipulation by wealthy interests, or (as in America's case) both. Let's get real: how long did the pure republic of our Founding Fathers last? 20 years? Thirty? America needs a hard-line, forceful regime that will expel the illegals, shut down abortion factories, send racist schvartzes back to Africa, and outlaw porn--among hundreds of other things. Government by popular opinion is frankly, to me, the most absurd concept ever invented. If Jews in Israel deserve a Torah state, then we deserve a New Testament state, or something like it!

God bless you as always. Chaimfan

Chaim, thank you for answering our questions each week

Did you know the informant and traitor Richard Rosenthal(may he rot in hell), who while Jewish infiltrated the JDL as a New York cop and wrote a vicious, anti-JDL book.

Chaim, I ask this not in anyway related to you, I am quite sure how you will answer, but only because of the behavior of certain members of the forum. Do you accept the primacy of Halacha as setting down correct behavior? Do you accept that the Gedolai Yisrael are the leaders of Benai Yisrael and must be followed in their rulings?

Chaim, I love your fire and even at times your outspoken fire..I LOVE IT!!!! anyway I have a reworded question from last week for you.

You answered my scenario from the last "ask JTF" almost adequately even though you had a difficult time understanding what I was trying to get at. I pretty much understood what you meant. Maybe I can reword it without that silly scenario of gas chambers:

Who's physical life are we allowed to save if we had the power to save him/her?  (Like CPR or hyemlic manouver on a total stranger but happened to know his/her religion or race whether it be a muslim, arab, Jew, gentile, Black, whatever...(bear in mind this is a split second decision and you can't ask if he/she was part of the SLA or if they support Minister Louis Farrah"faucet in a trash" can!)

What if it meant risking our own lives? A burning building or your neighbor's building or Gd forbid, your own building? (and let's say like before..you knew the race or religion, but not the person: arab, muslim, Jew, self-hating Jew, illegal alien Mexican, etc. And once again you don't have time to ask these total strangers if they support Barak "the closet half white Muslim" Hussein Obama and Hillary "Suha Ara-fat-butt's lesbian and communist lover" Clinton.) In other words, as Jews, who are we allowed to save and who are we allowed to save while risking our own lives? (and i'm not talking about Jihad pedofile loving pigs..I'm talking about random civilians even if you happened to know that person was of a nationality or religion that you hated, but didnt' know him/her personally or whatever it might be).

(I mean, yeh i get it, if i saw Minister Louis Farra-Garbage-Can, I would laugh at him while he chokes to death even if it meant jail time.) I really hope Minister Louis the-trashcan has the most painful wasting death and that his cancer eat him slowly like Leprosy so that all of his followers realize that when cursing Jews they are cursing the Almighty!) sorry got off to a tangent.

2. If the last question was too long, then you don 'thave to answer this question until next week...otherwise: What do you think of the Bible code?

Hi chaim, I just wanna tell you that I want every muslim dead and all shvartzas sent back to Africa so you know I am on the same page with you. I was just wondering why you always point out that the deformed, reconstructionist and conservative jews are bad. I myself think they are DREK but are they any worse than lakewood yeshiva or chaim berlin products who are thrilled when suicide bombs go off in Israel. They claim they do this because "they are happy these jews were killed now rather then them live a life of sin in Israel." This may be a hard fact for you to swallow but believe me what I am saying is true. In my opinion, these religious jews are no better than the reconstructed. Never mind the look on their faces when you let them listen to JTF, they can't stand it and they make fun of you. I don't care if they put on tefillin everyday, they are still human excrement. As always be well and I am waiting for the day you are elected prime minister of Israel.

PS: The Revava animal "Dominator96" has infiltrated your forum and is posting anti gentile material and claimed on here that you cater to a non jewish crowd. He is acting like a real piece of informing DREK. Please ensure this garbage is not allowed to continue.

Hey Chaim first a comment then a question.

A few weeks ago, my wife and sister in law were at my house and I decided to play for them some of your audios. Both of them are of the type that agrees with your opinion on Muslims but have  "problems" with your take on the African American Community.
I played for them the Take Back America that you did about Popeye, the one where he named 3 black inventors and you debunked them. When we got to the part where Popeye said that Blacks were Geonim, geniuses. Both my wife and her sister burst into hysterical laughter and while still wiping the tears from their faces and cackling they said "Ok, now that's pushing it!!!"

There is a black woman on youtube that did a bunch of response videos to the "Cleopatra Jefferson" and the "Truth about Black History Month" videos. A bunch of the people from the forum including me wrote emails and comments on her videos. Although the one funny part of her video was when she said "Ok, I don't buy it when you say you're  a civil rights leader, Civil Rights Leaders don't talk like that." She figured you out, Chaim. You can't get anything past her. Anyway my question is, Is part of promoting JTF on youtube responding to people like this or should they just be ignored?

I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe. Please read the full post on the air.

First Point: Ever since I was little, I loved trains. Therefore I like that recently, Israel Railways is expanding its lines and Jerusalem is getting a light rail. Previously Israel's trains were old fashioned but the current ones are even better than The Long Island Railroad, even the local ones. They are almost as good as Amtrak and the whole system is united so you can buy a ticket in Northern Israel and switch in Tel Aviv without leaving the station to go to any of the other lines to other parts of Israel. The machine reads the ticket and knows where you got on and it will only let you out of the station if you have the ticket for that station.

Second Point: I would like Yesha to get train lines too but the only talk of such is to build The Arab Muslim Nazis a Judenrein train line from Gaza to Hebron through sovereign Israeli territory. How would railways in Israel be developed under a Kahanist government? Would government money be spent on its development? Would Israel Railways be privatized? How would future Yesha train lines be developed?

Hello Chaim

I am on a semi crusade.. I respect the southern baptists and their beliefs so I been talking to a woman who is the daughter of a deacon from a Southern Baptist Church shes a very nice lady.  And through her I am going to try to spread the message of JTF and see where this takes me with her.  I think I have more of a fight by leftist jews about JTF then about someone like her and a few others I been trying to get their attention.  One happens to be in Tenn. the other is a Baptist from Florida but I always am getting some possitive feedback from them. I will keep you posted on this I sent her the You Tube videos and I would love to see a movement take shape across America.  I want to work so hard to get America on her right feet I do love my nation but I do not love the direction it is going in right now. 

The one thing I do get is lip from the leftists including Jews which has always boggled my brain on how they can hate so much.  Anytime I say to them in order for Israel and the US to survive these Arab ragheads have got to be thrown out.  I do not care if they are offended I am not here to pat my enemies on the back so they can feel better.   You would think after 3000 were killed from these vicious bastards (excuse my language) it is just I do have all the world's hate to these beasts and the ones that give me the lip are the leftists saying you can't go and slam an entire race for some.  Are these people suffering from a mental illness that has no cure?  One day with the grace of God I would love to run for some form of office here in the US unfortunatly I am not a greaseball lawyer.

Hello Chaim this is Victor,

1. Will you ever post old pictures and video of yourself online or on this website? I think it would be nice for other posters to see them. Sorry, But I did try to order old media of you and Rav Kahane but my mother had some recent heart trouble.

2. When you met Irv Rubin, What was you first impression of the man, How was he when you did work with him? How did Rav Kahane like him? Please give me some insight into this man.

PS, Which is better a couch or a Black man? At least a couch can support a family.

Hello Chaim and thank you as always for your good work.

1.  In order to expel a large population from a host country (e.g. Arabs from Israel; Pakistanis from Britain), I would imagine that a mere proclamation would not be enough.  I would imagine that the government would have to make an example of a group of Muslims who had thumbed their noses at officials who had called on them to leave.  In other words, the government would have to lay hands on such people and force them onto planes to get them out.  If the Muslims dug in, the government might even have to open fire on them.  No current government would risk what they saw as bad publicity by taking such harsh measures.  However, I feel that Israeli and European governments should indeed take such measures, and do it openly and unashamedly: it would be on every TV in the world and that would surely show that they were serious.  In other words, a few beatings or even deaths would do much good and cause the rest of the Muslims to leave peaceably.

How precisely would a Kahanist Israel expel the Arabs?

2.  Sorry if someone else asked you this already, but what do you think of Senator Fred Thompson as a possible President of the U.S.A?

Chaim,

First, a joke to brighten your day:

Q: How many Kahanists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Zero - they will make Israel a light unto the nations!

Now for a couple quick questions:

(a) A couple weeks ago you paused to take a drink of water.  Before you did so, you recited what sounded like some sort of Hebrew prayer.  What was that?  Some of us here in the heartland do not regularly encounter Jews or Jewish customs and I was curious what this prayer or recitation was.

(b) I've been enjoying some of the old JTF shows on YouTube.  One question - why are you and David Ben Moshe always wearing sunglasses?  I know it's not to hide your identity because you have never been shy about sharing your opinions!

Dear Chaim,

You told Dannycookies57 that animals don't have souls.  So can you explain the prohibition of consuming animal blood?  My mother always tells to avoid any veins on the chicken because that's eating blood, and that the animal's soul is in the blood. 

Thank you very much Chaim.

Dear Chaim,

1) Did you say 40000 or 80000 PLO Nazis were allowed into Israel due to the Oslo surrender Accords.

2) I'm trying to get into politics in Israel in the next 2 years after I make Aliyah. Do you think this is a good idea? I've already had a private meeting with a politican there on my recent trip. I believe I might be very influential as I believe in myself. Like I said previously G-d will help me if I put enough effort in.

1. What is you view on the possibility of a prisoner exchange in Israel? I support it out of the principle that one Jewish life is worth more than the life of every Arab.

2. Tip O'Neill once famously said, "All politics is local". When the Kahanists take power, will it abolish the minimum wage? Will it abolish the pensions that government workers are entitled?

Shalom Chaim,

1. A couple of weeks ago you mentioned that the goyim do not have to observe the Sabbath.

However, the Sabbath was being observed by the Hebrews before the Torah was ever given on Sinai.

According to the Bible in Shemot 16:23 (JPS version) it says:
23
    And he said unto them: 'This is that which HaShem hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto HaShem. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.'

Was this not then a universal deed that all mankind should remember?

2. In Bereshit chapter 6 verse 4, the Bible talks of the Nephelim...who were these guys?

Hello again Chaim,

Comment1: It’s always good to hear such sanity and words of wisdom from you! Thank you for taking time in clarifying the egg situation for me I did have a lot of eggs [with the yellow yolks] over Pesach! :)

Question 1: What do you think I should include in my essay entitled, “To what degree is Zionism a political force in Israel”? Which sources should I use?

Thanking you, have a “shavua tov” and a “guttan zimmer”.

Following in the spirit of drew_in_oregon, here's another little joke for you:

How many Muslims does it take to change a lightbulb?  None. They sit in the dark their entire lives and blame the Jews for it.

Now to my question:

Some of my friends told me that the singer Phil Collins is Pro-PLO. I'm not sure if this is true or if it is an urban legend. I haven't been able to find any information on the internet that states either way. The only thing I have found is that Phil Collins is planning on performing in Israel. So I'd find it hard to believe that Israel would have a Pro-PLO singer performing in Israel? Do you know anything about this as to whether Phil Collins is actually Pro-PLO or if this is just an urban legend. Thanks.

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for answering questions and your hard-work.

I remember on previous programs you stated that you support eugenics in the cases where people are criminals, welfare recipients, or drug addicts who you stated should be sterilized as was done before in the U.S.

Would you support eugenics in cases where people are just generally poor, and the government can pay them to be sterile, while offering financial and other incentives wealthy people to have children?
They do this in Singapore and seems to make sense because why should people have children and then depend on the government to take care of them, while so many wealthy people have no children at alll.

Hello Chaim,
I have thought on occasion that your sunglasses and hat make you look like you are on a jungle safari. Is this intentional because you speak so often of primitive cultures? Did you and Rabbi Kahane ever do any TV interviews together? If so do you remember what show, I'd like to try and track down such footage if it exists. Thanks,Allen-T.

Only one question so please read the whole thing.

Do you find it strange, that of the thousands of supporters JTF has had over the years, none of them have been very wealthy. Odds are that by now we should've attracted at least one very wealthy person, don't you think?

My take on this is this:  Rich people like nice things. When they shop they go to a fancy store. When they donate, they donate to big classy non-for-profits.

Classiness is powerful. Whether it's true or not, classiness implies proffesionalism and attention to detail. It tells the buyer (or the donor) you're in good hands, we know what we're doing.   This is one reason why I believe many wealthy people, who themselves are businessmen,  don't give JTF a second look. JTF is the exception. It is efficient and well run. But they look at JTF and see that it looks...well... "shleppy" and they don't feel the level of comfort neccesary to want to start writing out big checks.

I know of a Rabbi in Florida who now has one of the wealthiest synagouges in the world. One of his tricks was that even when he had no money and was working from his basement... he dressed as if he was a rich businessman.  His thank-you letter for donations looked like it came from a multi-million dollar organization. People figured this guy is going places and started giving him the big donations that a big shot like him seemed to deserve.
The moral is: when it comes to business, it's not what you are but what you can get other people to think you are.   

This is why I try to get you to polish up the image of this organization. I want you to succeed. The renegade look is good for youtube, and we should definitely try to reach those people.  But are youtubers the kind of people that will get us the millions of dollars we need? I'm afraid that's possible, but a longshot.

The more reasoned approach is: if you want to be a big and powerful organization, try to look like one first.

Hatzlacha Rabba.

Hello Chaim,
1) I was just about to raise a concern but I see that lubab raised it in his 2nd point. I completely agree with him - Youtube is not a panacea - it is strategic but will do little to aleviate immediate fundraising goals. There has to be a balanced appeal to older, established and welathy Jews and Gentiles. Lubab advises (less underground more respectable) makes a lot of sense, please think about it. I see that reaction among the post-teen Jews to whom I forwarded is not receptive to your attire/set setup, although many like the message. My 2 cents is that this, to some extent, impedes your fundraising efforts.

2) My question about the "security wall" that you answered two shows ago. I completely agree with your take on the issue and agree with a futility, in a long run, of such protective barriers. But, there is not denying, in a current situation, where Jews in Israel are not ready to face the reality, this wall helped to save countless Jewish lives. It is not perfect, but the number of infiltrations is way, way down.
Shalom,
Manch
