New perspectives for open letter 1.4

An Open Letter to America

By | Politics | No Comments

The way I see it, America is a sick nation, and it needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. I know many of you may know that, because you see what’s going on. However, there is more wrong than meets the eye, and what I am referring to is hiding below the surface of things, and it has to do with the way Americans think. This is why the problem is so concerning to me, the problem is systemic, which is why time is so important. To change the way one person thinks is very difficult, ask any psychologist, but to change the way tens of millions of people think, well, that could take years, decades, even more than a generation. But we must try, because unless we do, I don’t think in the long term America can survive as the nation it once was, that is the “guiding light unto all nations of the world.” You must know that stature as the “light unto all nations,” didn’t happen by coincidence, it was the result of the way our founding fathers thought about the world, and because their thoughts about the future were guided by the same “moral principles” that set the stage for a young nation to eventually achieve a level of greatness that could never be matched at any time in human history.

 

But amazingly, if you think about it, America’s greatness, so far has only lasted for a mere one hundred or so years, that’s it. America became the leader of the world during WW I, that was exactly one hundred years ago. It’s been only one hundred years that America has been leading the world. The point is, that position, that stature, is almost gone, and the reason is something went wrong, and so, our leaders have their work cut out for them. There is so much that is broken in America, both in terms of our country’s physical infrastructure, but more importantly, what’s broken is our social infrastructure. However, to fix our beautiful America, we must first learn the cause.

 

One could contend that, “the guiding light of all human thought are the perspectives our minds rely on to think and reason with.” But herein lies not only America’s problem, but also the reason why the problem is so well hidden.  After all, who is aware of his or her mind’s perspective at any given moment in time? That requires a keen sense of self-awareness, and constant self-analysis as we go about each day’s activities.

 

A perspective is everything a human mind is aware of, or considering, from one moment to the next, which includes sometimes nothing at all, which begets a peaceful mind, to a single subject, or a whole bunch of subjects either just hanging around, or that make up a set of circumstances. But whatever constitutes a perspective, it is for the human mind both a field of view that defines a landscape, a picture, or a range of consideration that we use to think with. In other words, every perspective contained in the human mind results in a consequence, from a mind that is at rest, or in a state of peace, to a mind that is thinking about something. This is why understanding human perception holds the key to learning about human thought and human behavior, thus, it is the key to learning about the story of America, how our country began and how it wound up where we are today as a society. The relevance of human perception on the story of America, therefore, cannot be overstated.

 

A perspective determines the legitimacy of human thought, because a perspective determines the level of objectivity, and therefore the degree of integrity of human thought. As such, the foundation of truth can only be found through examining the perspective of an individual’s mind, but the same holds true for the perspective that formed some philosophical idea, or scientific thought, as well as the ideology of a society, large or small, and the same for the truthfulness of a religion. For this reason, the fact that all human thought and behavior are directed through the perspectives that prevail in the human mind, this is what we must learn about to understand the story of any person, and the story of any people, which of course means to understand the story of America.

 

A narrow perspective that contains a single subject may yield a logically correct answer to a question, but more than likely that answer won’t past the test of truthfulness. Truth must withstand the test of time. It is not only what must be achieved to form a “universally” acceptable idea, but is also reflected through the way an individual or tens of millions of people feel emotionally. Certainty begets knowledge of what the future holds, and to know that the future is certain, whether that future is good or bad, this produces the feeling of “acceptance,” and it is this feeling that must be established within the human mind in order to experience a feeling of calm, or a “state of peace,” and again, that is whether or not the future is good or bad. The relevance of a perspective is grounded on truthfulness. “Truthfulness, is the key to achieving the good life for an individual,” and the key to achieving a “more perfect union” for America. It all begins with a human mind’s perspective. TO ACHIEVE PEACE IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD, IT “DEMANDS” A GUIDING LIGHT THAT IS GROUNDED ON A UNIVERSAL TRUTH. It is important to note, “THE HUMAN MIND IS POWERLESS TO CHANGE THAT,” WHICH HAPPENS TO BE (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION) THE HIDDEN MESSAGE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON’S “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.”

 

Who of our leaders has acknowledged publicly that America is broken because of some change that occurred to America’s ideology? If that happened, for sure, the problem was not “clearly” defined so that all can agree, thereby establishing the necessary common ground for our leaders to begin the long process of fixing our beautiful America. I believe I identified the problem, and I believe I have sufficiently tested the solution to the problem, thus, enabling me to see the pathway to achieving a new future for America.

 

I would like to suggest planning a conference for the purpose of exploring America’s ideology from every possible point of view, or “perspective.” I suggest the presence of leaders from both major political parties, I mean from the Democratic and Republican parties, along with Constitutional scholars, psychologists, and different scientists who explore the universe, and explore our earth, and leaders from every religion, including a voice for the atheist. Every major area of expertise relating to the universe, our earth and the human condition should be present, and all together try to find a common ground, a perspective that all people, of every religion, of every race can agree upon. That “perspective,” that “one guiding light,” I know will reveal the pathway that America and the world must follow to achieve the dream of all people, to live a life in peace.

 

President Obama just had a similar conference relating to the environment, however, it isn’t the environment where we must find our common ground with our fellow man, it is within the human mind that is the only place that matters, for it is the shared dream of living in peace that is our common goal with every human being, of every religion, every race, every society. That dream is contained within the fabric of nature, but it is only materialized within every human mind.

big Broken Congress-1024x765

WHAT HAPPENED TO CONGRESS?

By | Politics | No Comments

As this new year begins I am very concerned with what’s happening in the Middle East, but most important, is my concern about our President’s motives, and especially as it relates to Iran. The passage of time has revealed a very troubling pattern of behavior by our President, but I’m also concerned with too many members of Congress. I’ll explain, “bluntly,” because I don’t have the patience for political correctness.

To me, the fact that most Democratic leaders (and I’m sure there are a few Republican leaders) still haven’t had the guts to acknowledge publicly, by words or by action, that Barack H. Obama has “knowingly and willingly” refused to fulfill his most important obligation as President of the United States, that is, to protect America against its enemies. This shows that our government is failing, because that is also the obligation of every leader in Congress. The point is, if our President is failing the American people, it is the obligation of our Senators and Congressmen to bring that to the forefront, to disclose such a serious problem collectively to the American public. If that doesn’t happen, and if the members of the Supreme Court say nothing publicly as a group, our nation is in very serious trouble as we begin the year 2016.

I’m going to repeat what I just said, with a bit of a variation to reflect what’s really going on…..To me it is very clear, if more than a sufficient majority of our Congressional leaders fail to fulfill this highest purpose of a leader–to protect America against its enemies–this represents a total “moral collapse” of our government. At the present time, as I know it, nothing is being done “collectively,” I mean from both sides of the aisle together, to stop this President from letting the mullahs of Iran from building atomic bombs with ballistic missiles that can deliver those bombs to the hearts of both America and the State of Israel. Lest you think that the so called “deal” with Iran accomplished this, then think again!! At the very least, any money freed up will be used by Iran to continue to wage its terrorist proxy war and to suppress those amongst its citizens who would like to see a more pro-western authentic democracy emerge.

The point, AMERICA NEEDS HELP FROM CONGRESS. WE NEED TO WAKE UP CONGRESS.

THE TRUTH IS, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS ALREADY PROVEN TO BE NO FRIEND OF NOT ONLY THE STATE OF ISRAEL, BUT ALSO NO FRIEND OF HIS OWN COUNTRY, AMERICA, AND THERE IS NO MORE MEANINGFUL EVIDENCE OF THAT THAN THE WAY HE HAS “KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY” EMPOWERED THE MULLAHS OF IRAN TO BUILD THE NECESSARY MILITARY CAPABILITY TO DECLARE WAR ON BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL.

THIS PRESIDENT’S ACTIONS WITH IRAN, WHICH ENABLE AN ENEMY OF AMERICA TO DELIVER ATTACKS AND PERHAPS EVEN TO COVERTLY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ATOMIC BOMBS AND TO DELIVER THOSE BOMBS TO THE TWO NATIONS THE MULLAH’S OF IRAN HAVE ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY THAT IT WANTS TO DESTROY, BOTH AMERICA AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL, ARE NOTHING LESS THAN ACTS OF TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WHAT ELSE CAN IT BE BUT TREASON? FOR A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO ALLOW, AND TO MONETARILY EMPOWER THE MILITARIZATION OF A NATION THAT HAS SWORN ON ITS HOLY KORAN TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

Need more evidence? Keep reading.

If the leader of the world says he will punish terrorist acts, but does nothing, would this leader be feared? Of course not. If the leader of the world says he will punish terrorism, but time and time again he does not, does the terrorist get a message loud and clear? You bet. The message from the leader of the world is this, “Go ahead, terrorize, I’m letting you know that I’m not going to stop you.” To me, and to anyone else with common sense, the logical, predictable reaction to a leader with such power at his disposable who says he will act, but doesn’t act time and time again as it relates to the situation with Iran, is to conclude that this President is knowingly and willingly committing an act of treason. No child, and certainly no adult will ever fear anyone who doesn’t act on his or her own threats. The point is, Barack Obama knows this very well, and so to threaten and not act, with knowledge of the predictable outcome, is in effect a failing to protect the nation he has sworn to protect, he also knows that his lack of action empowers Iran with the potential of causing the deaths of perhaps tens of thousands of both Israelis and Americans.

CONGRESS MUST WAKE UP, “NOW,” AND DO SOMETHING  TO STOP THE MIDDLE EAST FROM EXPLODING. CONGRESS MUST ACT TOGETHER, COLLECTIVELY, AS IF ONE HEART AND ONE MIND. Whether our President’s actions are based on evil intent or mere incompetence, Congress must step up to the plate NOW, ALL TOGETHER!  IT IS TIME FOR EVERY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR TO BE AN AMERICAN FIRST, AND A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN SECOND.

Spinning Black hole 2.2

Avoiding the Void

By | Ideas | No Comments

I discovered years ago something very special about nature that may amount to proof of G-d’s existence.

 

 As I imagine it, Hashem (G-d), sweet, loving Hashem, has, as it were, a ‘little boy’ within His own special nature. He felt lonely living without someone to take care of, and to take care of Him, and so, He created a universe exactly for that purpose. “Nothing” in the entire universe can have any meaning or any purpose as it stands all alone, and so Hashem’s plan was very well hidden. Everything is based on mutual dependency, from the originating forces that established the universe, to the lives of every human being (G-d’s ultimate purpose for creating the universe).

 

 Gravity could never be a force without two or more separated objects. It is “nothingness” that creates the possibility of separation. It is the presence of the void within and through the physical universe that gives rise to gravity.

 

 To create a black hole, you need a mysterious dark state, but the only reason it’s mysterious is because apparently no scientist is giving this void its fair due consideration. Science has “avoided the void.”

 

 If you look up the definition of “avoid” in the dictionary it says “avoid is to keep away from,” “to shun,” the latter meaning, ‘the void’ has no value or worth, which in terms of human thought is to discount, subordinate, never to be worthy of exploration.

 

 The void as it stands alone has no meaning, no purpose, but when merged with only a one (uni) dimensional, invisible state, the possibilities of both motion and friction arise, thus establishing a physical “uni”verse, by virtue of an everlasting relationship between Hashem and the universe, and eventually Hashem and the story of mankind.

 

 Moreover, I am living proof of Hashem’s purpose–that “nothing” in the universe, including Hashem, can have meaning or purpose without a relationship to something else. For me, this is confirmed when I am in a relationship with another, be that a significant other or family member or friend.

 

 To understand the universe in “truth,” you must turn the way we have been taught to think upside down, so that we can see the truth, which is always “right side up.”  Does not everything flow from the “void,” so why is the void the last place any scientist will look, especially when it’s the first place that we should look. ISN’T THAT AS SIMPLE AS A ‘COMMON SENSE’ APPROACH?

 

 That is, the universe is built upon a complete and total dependency of every aspect of nature. As I said, there is nothing in nature, not in the universe, here on earth, or within the human condition, that can stand alone and have meaning or purpose, and when it comes to the forces of nature and the “true” story of universal existence and the story of mankind, it is exactly the same. Whether in the beginning or in the end, The story is always the same–we are all in a perpetual, everlasting relationship with that great, dark, mysterious, and awe inspiring void.

 

 It is for this reason, the inability of our free will to break that relationship, that is the proof that this great void controls universal and human destiny.

The World’s Problem with Extreme Islam and the Solution

By | Politics | No Comments

When Muslims around the world celebrate the holiday, Eid El Adha, they are celebrating a holiday that is in direct conflict with the story of Abraham’s life as stated in the Hebrew Bible, Torah. I’ll repeat, but will say it in another way. The Koran is built on an idea that “necessarily” would conflict and incite conflict with the Judeo Christian world. In other words, Islam is designed to create world conflict, and you can see this truth in this Muslim holiday, Eid El Adha.

 

You see, in the Hebrew Bible, or Torah, God chooses Abraham’s second son Isaac to carry God’s message of peace to the world, which was designed to be an all inclusive message. In other words, for Torah, to live in a world of peace, you have the right to be a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, Buddhist, even an atheist. All that’s necessary for Torah, is for “any person” to be a good, compassionate and respectful person, and if you question that, just look at the Ten Commandments (which were first disclosed to the world in the Hebrew Bible, Torah), and remove any reference to God, and you’ll see that God made it possible for even the non-believer to live in a world of peace. This is why these at least eight of the Ten Commandments reflect the perfect daily path for every individual, and every people to follow, if the agenda is to fulfill the dream of all people.

 

To “honor thy father and thy mother” is to sustain family unity from generation to generation. Then there are the commandments that require respect for one’s neighbor and to be respectful to all people. These help achieve meaningful life, and eventually lead to a world unified in peace and love, which is the fulfillment of the purpose of life. For these reasons, Torah’s message to the world at large is universal in nature, and I’ll repeat, it is a message for all people, even the atheist.

 

However, it was “1,900 years after Torah was given to the world” when Mohammed or his disciples attempt to rewrite world history by changing the story of Abraham, and instead of God choosing his son Isaac, God chooses his other son, Ishmael to carry the message of peace to the world. The point, a conflict with the Jewish and Christian world was inevitable, for world peace is only possible according to them if the entire world is built on religious Muslims.

 

The religion of Islam, therefore, is built on the objective of eliminating Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and atheists, and even the non-practicing Muslim from the world scene. This holiday, Eid El Adha, celebrates God’s choosing Abraham’s other son, Ishmael, thus, establishing an inevitable world conflict, it was only a matter of the passage of enough time. The point is, the religion of Islam is built on the objective of changing world history, through changing God’s message as “first” stated in Torah, which is achieved by first and foremost, eliminating the descendants of Abraham and Sarah’s son Isaac from the world scene, which is the composition of both the State of Israel, America, Europe and the Jewish Christian world. The proof of this objective can be found when comparing the story of Abraham’s life as set forth in the Hebrew Bible, or Torah, in contrast to the story in the Koran.

 

Just as it was with the Al Alqsa Mosque, designed to eliminate the possibility of rebuilding of King David’s Temple, by it being built on top of the Temple’s foundation (the Western Wall), so too is the Koran designed to eliminate Jewish history, by attempting to alter the story of Abraham, thus attempting to eliminate the message of Torah to the world–an all inclusive message, because it is a universal message, and the proof of both objectives can be found in the meaning of the Muslim holiday of Ein El Adha, for it is this holiday which is apparently for the purpose of reinforcing this message of conflict to the Muslim world, from generation to generation.

THE CAUSE OF ANTI-SEMITISM

By | Ideas | No Comments

It’s been a number of years since I tried to track down the true reason or cause of anti-Semitism. But I did. And the reason I succeeded is because I went to the only true source to find the answers to my questions. That source is the Hebrew Bible, or TORAH.

 

I learned that Torah is not only the source of anti-Semitism, but that Torah also reveals the resolution to the problem, and I learned both from reading the sections of the Torah that tell the story of how the Jewish people began. That is the story of Abraham’s life, and his relationship with his God. (Notice that I did not say “where the story of the Jewish people ‘first’ began,” which I’ll address at another time).

 

Reading about Abraham’s life many times, and afterward considering the “practical” purpose of Torah as it relates to Jewish life from generation to generation (which is to maintain a strong and close relationship with Abraham’s God) I began to understand the meaning and purpose of Abraham’s God choosing the descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac to deliver a very specific message to the world. I learned that Torah’s message holds the key to achieving the dream of all people, in other words, the message discloses what mankind must do to live in a world of peace and brotherly love. That key is to live a “moral” life, because a moral life is to live a life built on humility and goodness and compassion for others. As such, to live a moral life is to preserve and protect a future that is following the pathway that empowers mankind to achieve world peace built on brotherly love.

 

I learned that Torah’s purpose is to set forth how such a high standard of life can be achieved and preserved from generation to generation, thus, ensuring a society that it is following the certain pathway to actually fulfilling that elusive dream. I learned that to live such a life, is to understand not just the story of life, but also the meaning and purpose of life. This is why the message of Torah must be heard. It is the key to living a happy and peaceful life, regardless of a person’s religion, even if a person has no religion, and regardless of a person’s race, or cultural background, or political beliefs, and regardless of an individual’s economic standing. Torah holds the secrets to achieving “everlasting world peace.” For these reasons, this Torah message must be heard.

 

However, to deliver that message with a loud enough voice, God demanded of Abraham, and the descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac, absolute loyalty to God. In other words, the entire Jewish community must live a “Torah observant life” to not just deliver that message to the world, but for the world to hear the message. For without keeping the high standards of a moral life according to Torah, as a community, as a nation, the Jewish people will become divided from within, causing the message to get lost. Torah’s message–the key to achieving world peace and brotherly love–is the key to unifying the Jewish people as a nation, and the key to unifying the world. But as a divided nation, the Children of Israel must fail, and the dream of all people must remain no more than a mere elusive dream, thus, insuring that human suffering will continue.

 

Standing together as a unified nation, bonded through time and space through living a Torah moral life, from generation to generation, is the only way to assure that the message would not get lost. As such, if the Jewish community became divided, scattered among the world’s peoples, for sure the message would get lost. The point is, to deliver the message, the Jewish community must show the world how to unite as a nation, standing together “as if a single heart and a single mind,” in order to achieve the purpose of the Children of Israel, to be “a light unto all nations of the world.” Thus, for the world to unite in peace and brotherly love, first the Jewish community must unite as a nation, and must appear to stand on the highest level of humanity, which is to lead a Torah moral life, for the message to be heard. Torah demands a religious, Torah observant nation to deliver God’s message.

 

But to unite as a people, standing together on the loftiest of plateaus of morality, is to appear to the world at large as if the Jew believes he is on a higher level of human worth, and so to deliver God’s message to the world, a message of hope in the future (because the message is a pathway to achieving peace and brotherly love for all of the nations of the world) is to also cause human jealousy, even hate. As such, built into the very fabric of God’s message to the world, and the way the message must be delivered, is the full spectrum of human emotion: hope, love, peace and goodness, as well as the emotions of jealousy, hate, anger and evil.

 

Thus, it is through God’s promise to Abraham, that God establishes a certain future for His chosen people, a four thousand year journey built on hope and goodness and compassion for others. At the same time, it is also a future built on jealousy and hate from some of those same others–both a future built on anti-Semitism and a future built on the salvation of the world, a world that is empowered to fulfill the purpose of man, to achieve world peace and brotherly love, thus, the Kingdom of God.

Iran cheats obama 1.2

Iran: An Open Plea to the American Jewish Committee

By | Politics | No Comments

THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE MUST REJECT THE OBAMA/KERRY AGREEMENT WITH IRAN.

The reason Obama’s deal with Iran is a bad deal, is because any deal with Iran relating to its building nuclear facilities, even a deal considered a good deal for America, would be a bad deal. You see, if Iran cheats, “if” caught, that will necessarily prompt the beginning of new discussions and further negotiations, because “every” written agreement can be argued about. With a hundred pages or more of writing, language interpretation is the perfect way to stall for time, and to open the door for new demands on America. Such tactics are commonly used in business, and during the litigation process every day to wear the other party down, or to renegotiate a deal, or simply to let time pass in order to accomplish an objective while keeping the other party at bay. So you see, a written agreement with a party that cannot be trusted in the first place, which is surely the case with Iran, because its leader publicly states its evil intentions, can never be a good deal when the stakes are so high. Who could ever take such a risk? But President Obama did? This is why even a deal that is considered a good deal for America, is a bad and very dangerous deal for both America and The State of Israel.

A written agreement of any kind, whether considered a good or bad deal, either way, assures the mullahs of Iran that they have enough time to finish their weapon of mass destruction. But an equivalent problem is this, EVERY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN THAT SUPPORTS BARACK OBAMA’S AGREEMENT WITH IRAN IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN ALMOST EVERY WRITTEN AGREEMENT, AND THAT MEANS THESE LEADERS LACK THE MORAL INTEGRITY TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICA.

THIS DEAL WITH IRAN MUST BE STOPPED, WHETHER CONSIDERED A BAD DEAL FOR AMERICA OR A GOOD DEAL, AND IF YOU WANT MORE PROOF, WATCH TELEVISION TOMORROW MORNING, WHEN AGAIN ALL OF AMERICA RE-LIVES THAT TERRIBLE MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001. WATCH THE TWIN TOWERS BURNING, WHILE ON THE CITY STREETS BELOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE RUN TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.

THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED ON THAT TERRIBLE MORNING IN AMERICA’S HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001, IN NO WAY REPRESENT THE EXTENT OF DESTRUCTION THAT WILL OCCUR IF IRAN IS ABLE TO FINISH AND DELIVER AN ATOMIC BOMB.

THIS DEAL WITH IRAN MUST BE STOPPED.

US President Barack Obama, speaking of r

The Madness of the Iran Deal

By | Politics | No Comments

Yesterday in Times Square, at the rally in support of America’s Congress rejecting the Obama/Kerry agreement with Iran, one of the speakers mentioned that John Kerry was meeting with the AJC, so I want to remind David Harris and other AJC leaders that there are “exceptions to most rules,” and the Jewish nation in regard to the world is one of those rare exceptions. In other words, what applies to other peoples doesn’t necessarily apply to the Jews. Therefore, an objective response, a nonpartisan reaction to whatever Kerry says to AJC leaders in regard to America protecting the Jewish State must take this into account. THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE ONLY ONE POSSIBLE HOMELAND, AND ONLY ONE NATION TO COUNT ON TO PROTECT THE FUTURE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME PLACE, THE STATE OF ISRAEL, AND NOT THE UNITED STATES.

The “fact” is, Barack Obama and John Kerry’s agreement with Iran just proved that there is only one place in the world that the Jewish people can count on to be protected by a government, and that is the State of Israel. You see, Obama and Kerry’s agreement with Iran proved that the Jewish people as a nation can’t count on America, and so, what other government will protect the Jewish people. The only government the Jewish people can count on is the State of Israel, and no matter what John Kerry says, THIS IS THE ONLY TRUTH THAT MATTERS, ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO IRAN DEVELOPING A NUCLEAR WEAPON. Here’s some evidence.

When the President of the United States doesn’t lower the American flag after four soldiers are murdered by an Islamic terrorist attack, he is delivering two messages to the world. The first, it’s as if the President is saying to the world that he doesn’t respect his own country or its military, and second, as the leader of a nation, he’s telling every potential Islamic terrorist that murdering American citizens just isn’t that important to him. But that’s true, it’s not a wild idea. In Obama’s agreement with Iran, he didn’t even care enough about the American lives that are sitting in Iran’s jails. Imagine offering Iran’s leadership so much, and he left behind the people he is sworn to protect, four American citizens. The State of Israel should count on America? The point is, whatever John Kerry says to the AJC about America protecting the Jewish people and the State of Israel, only a fool could count on. This is an objective, nonpartisan opinion, because it’s based on fact.

When the President of the United States is disrespectful to America’s most devoted friend and ally, the State of Israel, “on a number of occasions, without hiding it from the public,” the president is saying something to the world. He’s saying, in effect, “The State of Israel can’t count on me, no matter what I say.” This is exactly why Bibi Netanyahu accepted Senator John Boehmer’s bold suggestion of speaking directly to Congress in an effort to save the State of Israel from a nuclear Iran. He knows that Barack Obama’s words are hollow, meaningless, but also very dangerous. Yet, John Kerry expects the State of Israel to count on the word of this president?

When the President of the United States enters into an agreement with the leaders of a nation who have repeatedly announced to the world that it will destroy not only a friend and ally of America, the State of Israel, but also America, it says something about this president. It says the President of the United States is more interested in the future of America’s enemy than he is interested in the future of both America’s friend and ally as well as America. The State of Israel should count on the word of this president??

According to one news report, Al Sharpton, the most divisive man in America for the past forty years, was invited to the White House approximately eighty times, and clearly for one reason, “to divide America, because that’s what Sharpton does.” The State of Israel should count on the word of the president??

How many Americans voted for Barack Obama because they believed that under his Obamacare health program they could keep their doctor, only to find out after his election that he lied? MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TRUSTED THIS PRESIDENT WITH THE FUTURE HEALTH OF THEIR FAMILIES. The State of Israel should count on the word of this president??….

I could go on and on about this president. The point is, the number of “red flags” that this president has raised that should cause great concern and suspicion is long, which is why a mind that thinks clearly can only come to one “objective and nonpartisan conclusion,” and that is, when it comes to risking the lives of millions of people and a national homeland, only a fool would rely on anything John Kerry says to AJC leaders when it comes to America protecting the State of Israel.

Zionism, Promise and Chosenness

By | Society | No Comments

The idea of Zionism originates from the Torah. It can be found hidden within the story of Abraham. Zionism is an idea that connected the future with the past, and in doing so, defined the story that would inevitably unfold over the course of a 4,000 year long journey, a story that continues to this very day.

G-d promised Abraham and Sarah that they will have a son, Isaac, and from the descendants of Isaac will spring a great nation. That promise came true, and so too did G-d’s other promises.

Zionism is directly connected to G-d’s promise to Abraham, but the future of his descendants will be defined through pain and suffering which eventually must lead to the salvation of mankind, or what is also called “living in a world of peace.”

The pain and suffering is the product of a people that was “chosen,” for everything that happens in life that has meaning, is based on human emotion. Being chosen begets jealousy and hate, but being chosen is also an order, and instruction, that goes somewhere for a purpose.

Needless to say, there is more going on than meets the eye.

What Went Wrong With America

By | Society | No Comments

Life vs. Individual Freedom

It’s been quite a while since I learned what went wrong with America, why our nation is failing, but to transform my complex thoughts into simple terms, so that I could articulate what I learned in a way that most people can understand, …well, that proved to be even more of a challenge than solving this great mystery. But I think I finally arrived, so I’m going to try to explain what I discovered. In fact, I must try NOW, I can no longer wait for the necessary clarity of words to suddenly appear in my mind, because today, America is in the midst of an accelerating state of moral collapse.

America, the country I love with all of my heart, she needs help. How did the problem begin? How do we fix it? What must be done to restore our nation to her greatness, so that America can stand tall and erect, above all other nations, beaming with moral clarity? So that once again America is the “light unto all nations of the world,” the one ray of hope for all people, the one shinning star that the nations of the world must follow while on the relentless journey that will ultimately lead to the fulfillment of every human being’s greatest dream, to live in a world defined through brotherly love and happiness? I must try to articulate what I learned, NOW!

Many years ago, back in the early 1970s, I, like many people, saw a serious problem beginning to brew in America, but I was one of the few who tried to stop the bleeding, because I could see the future, and sure enough, that future eventually arrived. America today is in big trouble, but while many people know the side effects of the problem, no one as yet has publicly announced the cause, I mean, at least no one that I’ve heard about. You see, the cause of America’s problem is very well hidden, in fact, it was so well hidden back at the time our Founding Fathers drafted America’s Constitution, that it slipped right past all of their eyes and each of their minds. You see, I learned that the cause of America’s problems today, can be traced back to the very words that define America’s ideology, the phrase,”….life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

I learned that America’s two most sacred documents, the very writings that our nation looks to for moral clarity, the basis of American justice and equity, The Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, are in direct conflict with one another in regard to the single most important part of both documents, and it is that conflict which defined both the future success of America as well as America’s ultimate moral collapse. You see, while the foundation of The Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were both intended to be built on the “Laws of Nature,” thus, creating a perpetual and everlasting harmony between these two writings–our most sacred documents–that’s not what in fact happened. Instead, our Founding Fathers made one serious, very well hidden mistake, thereby causing an opposite effect. Eventually a major conflict between both documents would arise, thus, creating a paradoxical future for America. Thinking that America would always pursue a path that would lead to “a more a perfect union,” instead, our Founding Father’s mistake would lead America to a more “divided nation.” You see, our Founding Father’s one mistake would inevitably and eventually cause America’s guiding light, our society’s moral compass, to fade off into a memory of the past, thus, leading America towards a state of moral collapse as a society.

Pitfalls of the Iran Agreement

By | Politics | One Comment

The Role of the Koran in the Iranian Nuclear Agreement

While President Obama’s Iranian agreement, at best, only “kicks the can down the road,” (this is also Congress’ most popular way of dealing with big issues), the problem is, Iran is building an atomic bomb, and that is something you just can’t afford to “kick down the road,” because to kick a bomb would make it blow up.

If Iran drops an atomic bomb on the State of Israel (G-d forbid), and if the prevailing winds at the time are blowing northward, the fallout will occur over Europe, maybe Russia, thus, the death and destruction will be huge in human terms. But what if Iran drops two or three bombs in different places through the use of inter-continental ballistic missiles? Say for example, an Iranian atomic bomb can reach the site of the new World Trade Center. Well guess what? THE POSSIBILITY IS VERY REAL.

Iran is different than Russia, different than N. Korea, Iran’s mullahs are religious people. Osama bin Laden may have planned the attack on the World Trade Center on that terrible morning, September 11th, 2001, but Osama bin Laden didn’t direct the attack, that was, for the terrorists, the role of the author of the Koran. Every Islamic terrorist, is being directed by the Koran, just as are the Ayatollahs of Iran. The KORAN IS BUILT ON ACHIEVING A WORLD AGENDA.

Extremely fundamental religious persons such as these, have belief as an emotion that drives their behavior. If that belief is strong enough, the result will be that these people, obsessed with fulfilling their misperceived ‘purpose,’ will stop at nothing, not even sanctions.

I don’t know why President Obama refuses to call Islamic terrorists by what they are, but what I do know is that if you don’t want to discuss the Koran’s role in each act, you are missing a key part of the issue. You stay away from it to avoid both the connection and the discussion. So let me ask you a question: How many politicians discussing the issue of the Iranian nuclear agreement are talking about the role of the Koran? I’ll bet not a single Congressman or Senator is doing more than mentioning the subject? This tells the whole story, here’s why:

You see, if the Koran isn’t part of the discussion, then there is a breakdown of integrity as it relates to the thought process about this issue. The consequence of this could well be the conclusion that you’re dealing with reasonable human beings, people who will change with time, when the real cause of the problem, the Koran, hasn’t changed since it was first introduced over a thousand years ago.

Coincidentally, the President’s entire premise is based on changing the way the Mullah’s of Iran interpret the Koran. But that is the WRONG, WRONG, WRONG IDEA, AND TOO DANGEROUS TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH.

NOT TO CONSIDER THE ROLE OF THE KORAN IS LIKE WALKING DIRECTLY INTO A DEATH TRAP THAT WON’T BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN WALKING INTO ONE OF HITLER’S GAS CHAMBERS.

See how passionate I am, because I “believe in what I am saying with all of my heart,” and I’m very worried that too many of our leaders don’t have their eyes wide open. To stop Iran we need a heck of a lot of votes, and to achieve that goal, we must see the truth.
