The politicians want to lay all the blame for the rising mortality rate on the public's "failure" to adhere to government mandated restrictions; however, while that could explain the rising infection rate, the mortality rate has more to do with the FAILURE OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY'S TREATMENT of the disease or lack thereof. And nothing is more indicative of that than the doubling of the numbers of those on ventilators!
In democratic societies, the needs of public health sometimes require citizens to make sacrifices for the greater good, but in Nazi Germany, national or public health — Volksgesundheit — took complete precedence over individual health care. Physicians and medically trained academics, many of whom were proponents of “racial hygiene,” or eugenics, legitimized and helped to implement Nazi policies aiming to “cleanse” German society of people viewed as biologic threats to the nation’s health. Racial-hygiene measures began with the mass sterilization of the “genetically diseased” and ended with the near-annihilation of European Jewry.
If you go to any Israeli English news website this morning, you will see blood splattered everywhere, the virtual pages of the online newspapers are dripping with hatred and the spilled blood of Torah-faithful Jews.
What is taking place on social media and in the news media today is the virtual equivalent of a massive pogrom! I can't emphasize enough how important it is for us to recognize this fact. And "rabbis" and other "religious" Jews are participating in it!!!
I am not on social media and as a result, I am not able to comment on news sites which are now linked to Facebook. So, this is my public declaration that "my hands did not shed this blood." I fully support all who continue to pray in a synagogue and who try their best to fulfill all the mitzvot of the holidays while trusting HKB"H to handle His world in the same way He always has without the intervention of scientists and politicians.
There is much more I'd like to say, but I'll keep it short for the sake of preparing for Shabbat and Chag Shemini Atzeret.
This IS the War of Gog uMagog - the war that comes to Eretz Yisrael and is meant to finally wipe out the pesky Jews who cling to God's Torah!
Behold the cause of all the world's anguish...
...A 3,333 year-old Book that requires humanity to restrain itself and not be ruled by the Yetzer HaRa, but they do not want to be restrained. They prefer to embrace their Yetzer HaRa instead of their kind and loving Creator, and the hatred they feel for those who insist on perpetuating its presence in the world leaves them no rest until they can destroy it and those who are dedicated to it.
Think on this when you are celebrating Simchat Torah. They just don't get it. Without the Torah, there is no world.
Rabbi Moshe Shaul Klein, Rav of the Or HaChaim neighborhood in Bnei Brak, a Dayan and a Posek who is accepted by all the Haredi communities, declared on Thursday, the eve of Hoshana Rabba: “I don’t say what you should do in practice, I only explain what the view of the halacha is: It is not a problem to convene according to the Halakhah for the purpose of a mitzvah because the mitzvah protects.”
He explained that according to the coronavirus data, the disease is not considered Shchiach Heizeka (commonly present danger).
Rabbi Klein did not spread illusions about the expected consequences of violating the rules of the Health Ministry in favor of observing the mitzvot: “If the Chief of Staff was in a war, would they say that he is in isolation, he is sick with the corona, therefore the soldiers are not allowed to gather in groups of more than ten, in which case he will not manage the fighting?” he asked, and answered: “We understand that this constitutes Pikuach Nefesh (danger to life). We know there will be certain death, so we do not say it.”
“The outlook of the medical people is not that of the Torah,” Rabbi Klein said. “Those who are not Torah scholars do not understand that Torah and mitzvot are the source of life for the people of Israel. Regarding the authorities, we should heed the advice of the doctors, but regarding mitzvot the outlook is different.”
“If they understood that Hoshana Rabba is the Day of Judgment when we must be engaged in more prayer, nothing is more essential than this, it’s like the army, and they will only succeed if we let them pray and study – and if they don’t, that’s the real danger to lives – the abolition of Torah and mitzvot,” Rabbi Klein added.
He insisted that “synagogues must not be closed, yeshivas must not be closed, it’s like fish without water. Praying in the street is the wrong alternative, yeshivot are our lifeblood, you can’t say pray outdoors, you can’t pray and study properly outdoors, and so the yeshivas and synagogues are our life.” (Source)
19 Tishrei 5781 4th Day Chol HaMoed Moadim l'Simchah!
I saw mention of this "new" B-5 visa in this morning's news and suddenly it dawned on me - this is the long-promised route to Christian aliyah. (See further here, here and here.) Make no mistake. This is the Christian side of the Abraham Accords!!
I vaguely recall seeing something about this last year, but now, in light of certain missionaries "making aliyah," it makes more of an impression. No longer does "Bishop" Plummer's bragging about bringing a million black Americans to "do business" in Israel sound like an exaggeration. (See "A Bridge for...Millions of African American Christians")
The following was published in an online Messianic resource in June 2019...
The United States and Israel have a unique relationship. As allies, they cooperate in the political, military and economic spheres. American politicians often declare that the US was founded on “Judeo-Christian” values, to emphasize the connection to Israel and the Jewish people.
...Many lovers of Israel find it difficult to secure a permanent residence or even long term visa in the Holy Land. Opportunities to immigrate to Israel are generally only available to Jews and family members / spouses of Jews and Israeli residents.
Messianic Jews face an even greater impediment from the Israeli immigration authorities (Misrad Hapnim). Messianic Jews are often denied the right to make Aliyah due to having “converted” to Christianity. Christians and Messianic Jews are sometimes even prevented from visiting Israel because they are suspected of being active missionaries, entering into Israel on a mission to convert the Jewish population. As the Border Control and Ministry of Interior are not answerable to authorities outside Israel, they are rarely required to prove that their suspicion has any basis in reality.
A solution for those Americans who wish to live in Israel – B-5 Investor visa
Only recently, after many years of speculation and negotiations, on the 1st of May 2019, Israel launched its first investment visa program that allows American foreign citizens to acquire a long term visa in Israel. The B-5 visa allows US citizens to invest in a business in Israel, reside in the country or visit it as often as they wish.
After receiving the visa, the investor and their family members (spouse and children under 21) may live, work and study in Israel with no restrictions. They are free to reside and work wherever they wish, not limited to the business enterprise for which the investment visa is granted.
The B-5 visa conditions – How to get the investor visa to Israel?
The new investment visa to Israel is only available for Americans and is granted only on the basis of a “meaningful” investment. The entrepreneur is required to purchase at least 50% of a “non-marginal” Israeli business. The business enterprise must contribute to the Israeli economy and employ Israeli citizens (or be demonstrably ready to do so soon after the visa is granted).
In addition, the investor can apply for work visas for US citizens who are skilled managers and workers to receive accompanying visas to reside in Israel while working in the Israeli business. Their family members can also reside and work in Israel.
American citizens are now granted an opportunity to acquire long term status in Israel with the new investment visa, which is a step in the right direction.
This "meaningful" investment is nothing but a "legal" bribe!!
Now we know how Tommy Waller and his Hayovel Ministry has managed to bring in 70 volunteers (how symbolic is that number?), as well as the Plummers have managed to "make aliyah" while Israel is under its second COVID-19 lockdown.
The Deal of the Century was announced in January of 2020 and the Abraham Accords have come out of that - all while the world is supposedly "fighting" a pandemic. This plandemic is the biggest distraction ever perpetrated on a global scale. Very nefarious machinations are going on under cover of this distraction and none of it bodes well for the Torah-faithful. Having these lockdowns davka during our holidays is meant to begin the breakdown of Orthodox Judaism - to destroy Judaism as it has traditionally been practiced for literally thousands of years, but HKB"H is only letting them do it so He can bring us back to our most authentic traditions - service in the Beit HaMikdash!
These missionaries had better not get too comfortable - their stay is going to be a very short one as Mashiach will deport them all if HKB"H doesn't outright make them disappear off the face of the earth!!
I'm taking time from my holiday to tell you this now because these days of Hoshanot are critical to the Redemption process. I hope you will understand just how dire our situation really is and that it will inspire your davening with the extra kavanot that is needed to reach the Kisei HaKavod and cause HKB"H to send Mashiach without any further delays. Ken, yehi ratzon!
18 Tishrei 5781 3rd Day Chol HaMoed Moadim l'Simchah!
Stop focusing for a minute on the dire warnings and propagandistic platitudes and ask yourself how the world is really threatened by a virus that only sickens about 60% of the people who contract it and how after nearly a year of global spread, (remember that the earliest cases appeared in Nov. 2019.) the "experts" opined yesterday that only 10% of the world's population have had it. How contagious is it then? And how deadly, considering that the CDC says: "The range of estimates put the fatality rate for those showing symptoms between 0.2%-1%, with a 'best estimate' of 0.4%.") This thing has got to be kept in perspective every single day that you are hearing about it non-stop because The Powers That Be are investing everything they have into making you believe and ACT like this is the worst catastrophe ever to face humankind!
In fact, humanity, historically, has faced much more serious disease outbreaks and yet NEVER EVER did the governments of nations close their economies, put millions of people out of work and their entire population under house arrest in order to "fight" the microorganism. Some pundits have pointed out the incongruity of using "war" language to describe the fight against the spread of SARS-CoV-2. (See Coronavirus and the language of war.) But, this is really a clue to us about what is really going on here and it is without any doubt A WAR for sure, but it's not a war against a virus. It is a war perpetrated by The Elite upon the untermenschen of the world, among whom Torah Jews are at the top of their list of undesirables. And that is why the two largest communities of religious Jews in the world - Israel and New York City - are being targeted and scapegoated. Here are just two of the latest examples:
...“People are very turned off and very burned out,” said Yosef Hershkop, a Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn who works for a chain of urgent-care centers. “It’s not like we’re the only people in New York getting COVID.”
...The Jewish Voice is urging compliance with health guidelines such as mask wearing and social distancing. However, its publisher, David Ben Hooren, said many Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn and Queens believe they have been unfairly targeted with stringent restrictions that aren’t being enforced elsewhere.
“The Jewish community feels they’re being singled out and there’s some element of anti-Semitism,” he said Monday. “Not that I agree with it, but that’s the sentiment in the street. Tensions are running high.”
They feel under siege and unfairly singled out because that is precisely what is happening and in Israel it is even worse. While the religious Jews here try to make the best of the holiest days of our year in complete lockdown, the evil regime is bringing yet more and more Western Xian missionaries in and establishing them for long-term residence. Listen to the hatred and incitement directed against the Chareidi community here by one Xian broadcaster based in Jerusalem to understand that it is certainly a war...
The words, to my ears, just drip with hatred of Judaism and the Jews who insist on clinging to it. This is the real war and it is at its very heart a war against the Crown - HKB"H's sovereignty and His Holy Torah!!
This is life-altering information. It is very important to read and pass on, especially to the rabbis who will be advising their communities. Please take the time to read in full along with the embedded links in red to get a full and clear picture of what is just around the corner unless HKB"H intervenes.
The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it, financing its research and development through agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and HHS’ BARDA.
The revolutionary breakthrough came to a Canadian scientist named Derek Rossi in 2010 purely by accident. The now-retired Harvard professor claimed in an interview with the National Post that he found a way to “reprogram” the molecules that carry the genetic instructions for cell development in the human body, not to mention all biological lifeforms.
These molecules are called ‘messenger ribonucleic acid’ or mRNA and the newfound ability to rewrite those instructions to produce any kind of cell within a biological organism has radically changed the course of Western medicine and science, even if no one has really noticed yet. As Rossi, himself, puts it: “The real important discovery here was you could now use mRNA, and if you got it into the cells, then you could get the mRNA to express any protein in the cells, and this was the big thing.”
...As early as 2006, DARPA was already researching how to identify viral, upper respiratory pathogens through its Predicting Health and Disease (PHD) program, which led to the creation of the agency’s Biological Technologies Office (BTO), as reported by Whitney Webb in a May article for The Last American Vagabond. In 2014, DARPA’s BTO launched its “In Vivo Nanoplatforms” (IVN) program, which researches implantable nanotechnologies, leading to the development of ‘hydrogel’.
Hydrogel is a nanotechnology whose inventor early on boasted that “If [it] pans out, with approval from FDA, then consumers could get the sensors implanted in their core to measure their levels of glucose, oxygen, and lactate.” This contact lens-like material requires a special injector to be introduced under the skin where it can transmit light-based digital signals through a wireless network like 5G.
Once firmly implanted inside the body, human cells are at the mercy of any mRNA program delivered via this substrate, unleashing a nightmare of possibilities. It is, perhaps, the first true step towards full-on transhumanism; a “philosophy” that is in vogue with many powerful and influential people, such as Google’s Ray Kurzweil and Eric Schmidt and whose proponents see the fusion of technology and biology as an inevitable consequence of human progress.
The private company created to market this technology, that allows for biological processes to be controlled remotely and opens the door to the potential manipulation of our biological responses and, ultimately, our entire existence, is called Profusa Inc and its operations are funded with millions from NIH and DARPA. In March, the company was quietly inserted into the crowded COVID-19 bazaar in March 2020, when it announced an injectable biochip for the detection of viral respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
...One option for increasing vaccine uptake is to require it. Mandatory vaccination has proven effective in ensuring high childhood immunization rates in many high-income countries. However, except for influenza vaccination of health care workers, mandates have not been widely used for adults.
Although a vaccine remains months to years away, developing a policy strategy to ensure uptake takes time. We offer a framework that states can apply now to help ensure uptake of the vaccine when it becomes available — including consideration of when a mandate might become appropriate.
...Currently available evidence suggests that the elderly, health professionals working in high-risk situations or working with high-risk patients (e.g., nursing home residents and patients with severe respiratory symptoms), and persons with certain underlying medical conditions may be high-priority groups for the ACIP’s consideration, along with other workers with frequent, close, on-the-job contacts and persons living in high-density settings such as prisons and dormitories. When a vaccine nears approval, the ACIP should review the updated evidence and develop recommendations. Only recommended groups should be considered for a vaccination mandate, though health officials can encourage voluntary uptake for others, using means such as public education campaigns and free vaccination.
... Initially, global demand for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will outstrip supply, making the salient question not who must get them but who will be granted access to them.
...noncompliance should incur a penalty. Nevertheless, because of the infectiousness and dangerousness of the virus, relatively substantive penalties could be justified, including employment suspension or stay-at-home orders for persons in designated high-priority groups who refuse vaccination. Neither fines nor criminal penalties should be used, however; fines disadvantage the poor, and criminal penalties invite legal challenges on procedural due-process grounds. Both are bad public health policy for a Covid-19 vaccine because they may stoke distrust without improving uptake.
I do try to limit contact with "news" reporting, but if you can read between the lines and compare information, I do think it is possible to get some insight into what is happening and I think it is crucial for us not to hide our heads in the sand but to confront the situation head on.
For those interested in hearing from the "professionals" whom the "authorities" want to silence, read here...
And that's just from Ynet and Times of Israel. We can only imagine what Ha'aretz is saying, but I'm not willing to pay them to find out. Interestingly, that final article includes a reference to a "fake news" item that has been debunked here...
No doubt you will hear someone mention this in casual conversation - about how selfish the hareidim are - and it's important that you be able to set those people straight with the facts, as well as know what is true for your own sake.
Every day, they are reporting record cases and every day, they also report record testing. Are they testing exclusively in hareidi neighborhoods? What is the ratio of testing between "hareidi" Jews and "others"? Clearly, there is an agenda to paint the hareidim in a certain light and drive a wedge among Klal Yisrael. There is no possible explanation which can justify this.
On a different note, you might think the silver lining to this lockdown is the cessation of missionary activity in Israel which increases every year at this time, but you would be wrong as they, by their own admission, appear to have special permission to bypass the lockdown.
This is part of a report done by CNN in which Tommy Waller's HaYovel Ministries is asked about how they were still able to bring their volunteers in to pick grapes despite the borders being closed to non-citizens. Pay special attention to the answer...
And this is while Jews who are non-citizens of Israel, but who have property or family here are being turned away!! And while synagogues are closed, the evangelicals and messianics go about business as usual and who stops them? Who is checking up on them? Not the Israeli government who would have to answer to the US government for violating their Christian rights!
"We are in another time of COVID-19 lockdown in Israel. By the grace of the Lord, we have been able to continue 24/7 worship and prayer in the Succat Hallel house of prayer in Jerusalem.
Even during the most severe lockdown restrictions, when people were only allowed to go 100 meters from their homes, 24/7 prayer and worship has continued by local staff and volunteers, whether in the Succat Hallel Prayer Room or from the local watchmen and women’s homes.
While the Torah-true Jews are forbidden to celebrate their holidays as normal, the "Judeo-Christian" Prayer Breakfast, though possibly minimized, will still take place with all the usual suspects from the evil regime.
You have to keep in mind that when they say "God's people," they are not talking about the Jews, but the Christians! And when they say "the Lord," they don't mean YKVK, but Yeshu, God forbid!
This is going to be a virtual gathering for those who would normally come just for a two-week visit, but for those who reside here on a permanent basis, they intend on gathering together as a group in a couple of places, one being the southern steps of the Temple Mount: Day 2, Saturday, October 3--Parade of Nations from the Southern Steps--"Highway of Nations."
I daresay that the southern steps of the Temple Mount is more than 500 meters from their homes and I would not be at all surprised to find that this group will involve more than 20 people!! However, I am equally sure that this evil regime has made it all possible.
Just so you know this government is filled with traitors - traitors to God, traitors to the Torah and traitors to the Jewish people. They are the Erev Rav and the GR"A told us that if we failed to fight them, it would be better for us had we not ever been born, but that's a topic perhaps more appropriate for Hanukkah.
Right now, I want to remind you that it is a mitzvah to take joy in this holiday - even such as it is this year. When you go into your sukkah with just your immediate family, you can tell them for me that this is a very special Sukkot. Holidays celebrated under adversity give us extra merit. When HKB"H sees how we are able to be happy in the holiday because we have absolute trust and faith in Him that this too shall pass and the promised Redeemer will surely come, it may finally push us over the top in the merits column and enable Him to bring the geulah shleimah with no further delays. Celebrate with happy anticipation, because who knows but that our righteous Mashiach might even be revealed in the course of this coming week of Sukkot!!
