DON’T BLAME THE MONKEY FOR THE TUNE HE DANCES TO, BLAME THE ORGAN-GRINDERS!

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI   (HENRY KISSINGER, GEORGE SOROS &amp; THE TALMUDIC BANKSTERS)

EVIL SPIRIT OF 5 PRESIDENTS &amp; THE BIGGEST THREAT TO WORLD PEACE

There is a man who is more dangerous to mankind than any other living person today. His name is Zbigniew Brzezinski, a CFR-member , Arch-Trilateral Commissionist, Bilderberger. He has been the evil spirit behind 5 US presidents, including Obama – and he is obsessed with but one thought: The US is to
dominate a communist one world state.

For that purpose, he sees Eurasia as his grand
chessboard, where the battle is to be won. Like any chess player, he starts by occupying the centre of the chessboard, Central Asia.

He wants peace there, friendly arrangements, in particular with China, if possible, so that he can pursue the goal of his obsession, i.e. the purpose of the Trilateral Commission created by him and David Rockefeller: To create a world state by fusing a coming North American Union, at which he is working through
the CSIS, the Union for the Mediterranean – and a Far East block which is now being created.

His aim is a communist one world state where Russia, which he hates, is subdued by being split into 3 republics in a loose confederation – and if that is not possible – then ultimately even by WW III. He and David Rockefeller are behind the fusion of world religions for peace in the world state. In stead he collaborates with Al Gore and Gorbachev to promote the environmental Gaia religion.

In the Agenda 21 state people in the technetronic era will be totally controlled and via artificial intelligence (brain chipping) become post-human robots.

He has worked on,

Selling US infrastructure like harbours

Outsourcing US jobs

Giving the Panama Canal to the Chinese

Selling illegal weapons to the Soviet, Iran, Iraq, Libya

He nurtured the Taliban and Al Qaida and ignored Islamic fundamentalism.

Advised by Zbigniew and his son, Ian, Obama is now encircling Russia and China, which has not been so cooperative as wanted by Zbigniew, with anti-ballistic missiles which can also be used to inactivate Russian and Chinese satellites, so as to hinder retaliation after a US first strike against the nuclear arsenals of those countries.

Russia knows and is preparing for the possibility of having to deliver a preemptive attack – according to the chief of the Russian Joint Staff, Yuri Baluyevsky. These
considerations are probably being accentuated by the fact that Russia can hardly afford a fresh weapons race.

However, Brzezinski does not believe in Russia’s
capacity to strike!

Who is Zbigniew Brzezinski?

Brzezinski was the national security advisor for President Carter from 1977 to 1981. In 1988 he endorsed HW Bush for President and was Co-Chair of the HW Bush national security advisory task force. From 1987 to 1989 he also served on the HW Bush’s
Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albright was a student of Brzezinski’s.

GW Bush Secretary of State, Condi Rice (also a former national security advisor), who studied under Albright’s father, shares many of the same world government views with Brzezinski and Albright.

Zbigniew Brzezinski is an advocate of socialist world government, a goal he has promoted as a member of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to “guide policy makers” and as a speaker at former Soviet Premier and Communist Mikhail Gorbachev’s first World Forum.

This State of the World Forum had interesting partners. Brzezinski is an architect of creating regions of global governance from independent nations to achieve world government. The CSIS issues the North American Integration Monitor, which hopes for a North American Union (NAU).

The proposals for global taxes by Obama have come with the recommendations of Zbigniew Brzezinski to pay for globalization and world government. Obama has proposed a global poverty tax in a US Senate bill.

The Climate Change Control Bill strongly supported by Obama calls for an international governing regime to monitor and regulate carbon dioxide and “carbon footprints” from discovery, to production, to consumption at a cost of $50 trillion globally and at a cost of $8 trillion for US taxpayers, all to be paid for by a global tax, whose monies will be used to establish a world government body.

The Trilateral Commission was founded in 1973
by David Rockefeller with Zbigniew Brzezinski as executive director, after Brzezinski published Between Two Ages, which became the blueprint for the TC. David read and appreciated his ideas, which included, 

&quot;Though Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy for both the Russian people and communism as an ideal, there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was, as we shall see, a blessing in disguise.&quot; 

&quot;Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man&#039;s universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external man over
the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief.&quot;  

&quot;Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior
and keeping society under close surveillance and control.&quot;

&quot;The Soviet Union could have emerged as the standard-bearer of this century&#039;s most influential system of thought and as the social model for
resolving the key dilemmas facing modern man.&quot; 33 

1973 founding members of the Trilateral Commission also included Jimmy Carter, who chose Zbigniew Brzezinski as his National Security Adviser during his presidency. Brzezinski, also a member of the CFR, wrote in his Power &amp; Principle: Memoirs of the
National Security Advisor, 1977-1981, on page 49, 

&quot;The new President&#039;s specific views on foreign affairs--going beyond his desire for a foreign policy governed by humane and moral concerns--had been formed during his time with the Trilateral Commission. Contrary to the myth, the Trilateral Commission is not a conspiracy designed to dominate the world but genuinely strives to engage Americans, Western Europeans and Japanese in a common endeavor to shape a more cooperative world...&quot; 

On page 289, he wrote,  

&#039;&quot;Moreover, all the key foreign policy decision-makers of the Carter Administration had previously served in the Trilateral Commission....&quot;

Zbigniew Brzezinski is a CSIS Trustee and Trustee Counselor, Center for Strategic and International
Studies; and Professor of American Foreign Policy at the School of Advanced International Studies, the Johns Hopkins University, Washington, D.C. He is also Honorary Chairman of the AmeriCares Foundation;
Member of the Board of Trustees of Freedom House; Trustee of the Trilateral Commission; Member of the Board of Directors of the Polish-American Enterprise Fund; Chairman of the American-Ukrainian Advisory Committee...&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WRONG GOD - WRONG BABY



&quot;Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel.&quot; – Isaiah 7.14. (Young&#039;s Literal Translation)

CHRISTMASS A DIVINE COCKUP: 

WRONG GOD, WRONG BABY

ARE YAHWEH &amp; EL THE SAME GOD OR DIFFERENT GODS?

 (GENESIS 14:22, 17:1, 21:33; EXODUS 6:2-3; PSALM 82:1 vs DEUTERONOMY 32:8-9; PSALM 29:1, 89:6-8)

Recent archaeological, biblical, and extra-biblical research has led scholars working in the area of the origins of Israelite religion to assert rather boldly and
confidently that the original god of Israel was in fact the Canaanite deity El.1 Just exactly how has this come about you ask?

First, the name IsraEL is not a Yahwistic name. El is the name of the deity invoked in the name Israel, which translates: 

“May El persevere.”2

This suggests that El was seen as the chief god in the formative years of Israel’s religious practices. In fact, the etiological story explaining the origin of the name Israel
occurs in Genesis 35:9-15, where Jacob obtains this name through the blessing of El Shaddai, that is “El of the Mountain.”

Second, there exist numerous parallels and similarities between descriptions and cultic terminology used for El in the Canaanite texts and those used for Yahweh
in the biblical sources (see below). At some point, it is ascertained, the cultic worship of Yahweh must have absorbed that of El, through which means Yahweh assimilated both the imagery and epithets once used of El.

Finally, there is strong confirmation of this assimilation in the biblical record itself. In the oldest literary traditions of the Pentateuch, it is El who regularly appears and not Yahweh, or Yahweh as El! The patriarchal narratives
identify El as the deity to whom many of the early patriarchal shrines and altars were built. For example, we are informed in Genesis 33:20 that Jacob builds an altar in the old cultic center of the north, Shechem, and dedicates it to “El, god of Israel” (’el ’elohe yišra’el ). There is no ambiguity in the Hebrew here: ’el must be translated as a proper name, El.3

Who was El? And why is he even mentioned in the Bible in the first place, let alone as the god of Israel in the older literary traditions of Genesis?

Our knowledge of El predominantly comes from an invaluable corpus of tablets discovered in 1929 in the ancient city of Ugarit, a major city-state of the second millennium BC located on the northern coast of Syria, modern day Ras Shamra.4
The Ugaritic tablets are the best available witness to Canaanite religion and religious practices, and thus also “to the background from which the religion of Israel
emerged, and to the Canaanite beliefs that it shared, adopted, compromised with, and sometimes rejected.”5
The Ugaritic literature depicts El as the sovereign deity of the Canaanite pantheon. He is frequently referred to as “Father of the gods,” “the eternal King,” and “Creator of all living beings.” El’s other epithets include: “El the
Kind, the Compassionate,” “the Bull,” “the Ageless One,” and “the Father of Years.” He is depicted as bearded, and residing in a tent or a tabernacle, whose throne rests on Cherubim. He is the god of blessings and of covenants.

Many of these epithets and images later become assimilated to Yahweh. For example, Yahweh is often depicted as bearded, as King of the gods, as Compassionate, and as residing in a tent, whose throne, like that of El, rests on Cherubim. There are, in addition to this, numerous El epithets in various strains of biblical
tradition—epithets that through a process of assimilation and adoption later become associated with Yahweh. We have already encountered El Shaddai, “El of the Mountain.” Like Yahweh who is associated with the mountain of Sinai and later in eschatological traditions with Zion, so too El resides on a mountain. Other patriarchal narratives attest the use of El Olam, “El the Eternal” to whom Abraham plants and worships a tree at
Beersheba, El Elyon, “El the Most High,” the god of Melchizedek (Gen 14:18-24), and El Roi, “El who sees” (Genesis 16:13).

These various El epithets are associated with different shrines: El Shaddai  with Bethel, El the Most High, the creator of the heavens and the earth, with Jerusalem, El the Eternal with Beersheba, El who sees  with Beerlahai-roi, and El the god of Israel with Shechem.6
Many of these shrines and altars to El were established by the patriarchs themselves (e.g., Gen 21:33, 28:18, 33:20, 35:14). It has also been suggested
that the name Yahweh might have originally been a cultic epithet of El! The etymology of Yahweh, yhwh, is still unclear, but one proposal is to see it as the causitive imperfect of the Canaanite-Proto-Hebrew verb hwy, “to be.”5

It is propable therefore, as many commentators have contended, that the early Israelites actually worshiped El through his epithet ‘Yahweh.’ This process of assimilation is usually presented the other way around in the biblical literature: Yahweh is worshiped through the epithets of El: Shaddai, Olam, and Elyon.

Contrary to these biblical traditions that suggest assimilation between Yahweh and El, there are other passages that seem to indicate that Yahweh was a separate and independent deity within El’s council. Deuteronomy 32:8-9 is one of those rare biblical passages that seemingly preserves a vestige of an earlier period in proto-Israelite religion where El and Yahweh were still depicted as separate deities: Yahweh was merely one of the gods of El’s council! This tradition
undeniably comes from older Canaanite lore.

When the Most High (’elyôn) gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated humanity, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of divine beings. For Yahweh’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.

There are two points to take away from this passage. First, the passage presents an apparently older mythic theme that describes when the divine beings, that is
each deity in the divine counsel, were assigned and allotted their own nation. Israel was the nation that Yahweh received. 

Second, Yahweh received his divine portion, Israel, through an action initiated by the god El, here identifiable through his epithet “the Most High.” In other words, the passage depicts two gods: one, the Most High (El), is seen as assigning nations to the divine beings or gods (the Hebrew word is elohim, plural “gods”) in his council; the other, Yahweh, is depicted as receiving from the first god, the Most High, his particular allotment, namely the people of Israel. Similarly, in another older tradition now preserved in Numbers 21:29,
the god Chemosh is assigned to the people of Moab.

Other biblical passages reaffirm this archaic view of Yahweh as a god in El’s council. Psalm 82:1 speaks of the “assembly of El,” Psalm 29:1 enjoins “the sons of El” to worship Yahweh, and Psalm 89:6-7 lists Yahweh among El’s divine council.

Thus there seems to be ample evidence in the biblical record to support the claim that as Yahweh became the supreme national deity of the Israelites, he began to usurp the imagery, epithets, and old cultic centers of the god El. This process of assimilation even morphed the linguistic meaning of the name El, which later came to mean simply “god,” so that Yahweh was then directly identified as ’el—thus Joshua 22:22: “the god of gods is Yahweh” (’el ’elohim yhwh).

Noteworthy also is the fact that unlike the god Baal, there is no polemic in the Bible against El, and all the old cultic centers of El, those in Jerusalem, Shechem, and Beersheba, were later accredited to Yahweh. Since the large majority of patriarchal narratives that speak of shrines and altars to El are found in the northern
kingdom, such as Bethel and Shechem, and, on the other hand, many biblical texts seem to accredit Yahweh’s origin to the southern Negeb, the current
scholarly hypothesis is that the worship of El in the north and of Yahweh in the south eventually merged. This thesis finds further support in the incident of Jeroboam, who may have acted to reestablish the cult of Yahweh-El at Dan and Bethel via his “golden bulls” (#155). In sum, the biblical literature, spanning as it does hundreds of centuries of cultural and cultic traditions, preserves
divergent views, portraits, theologies, and origins of its god Yahweh. We will come across others.

Other names formed with “el” include: Ishmael, Bethel, Penuel. As a further note, no name in Genesis contains the form of Yahweh, which later became the

     comes from the Merneptah stela—an Egyptian victory stela  commemorating the Syro-Palestinain conquest of pharaoh Merneptah in 1208 BCE. In the  stela Israel is listed among the peoples of the land of Canaan.↵

The Hebrew ’el is often translated as “God.” Although like the Hebrew ’elohim, ’el can be translated as “god,” Hebraic philologists contend that a generic understanding of ’el as “god” is a rather late development in biblical Hebrew. More accurately, ’el without a definite article is to be rendered simply as “El,” the name of a pan-Canaanite (by this term I mean to include a proto-Israelite culture) deity—a remnant of an older Israelite/Canaanite tradition to which a few
     biblical passages still attest. Mention of El is also found in Genesis 17:1, 28:3, 35:10, 48:3, 49:25. In later literary sources, and after Yahweh had adsorbed El’s attributes, ’el came to be understood simply as “god.”↵

<p>&#8220;Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel.&#8221; – Isaiah 7.14. (Young&#8217;s Literal Translation)</p>
<p>CHRISTMASS A DIVINE COCKUP: </p>
<p>WRONG GOD, WRONG BABY</p>
<p>ARE YAHWEH &amp; EL THE SAME GOD OR DIFFERENT GODS?</p>
<p> (GENESIS 14:22, 17:1, 21:33; EXODUS 6:2-3; PSALM 82:1 vs DEUTERONOMY 32:8-9; PSALM 29:1, 89:6-8)</p>
<p>Recent archaeological, biblical, and extra-biblical research has led scholars working in the area of the origins of Israelite religion to assert rather boldly and<br />
confidently that the original god of Israel was in fact the Canaanite deity El.1 Just exactly how has this come about you ask?</p>
<p>First, the name IsraEL is not a Yahwistic name. El is the name of the deity invoked in the name Israel, which translates: </p>
<p>“May El persevere.”2</p>
<p>This suggests that El was seen as the chief god in the formative years of Israel’s religious practices. In fact, the etiological story explaining the origin of the name Israel<br />
occurs in Genesis 35:9-15, where Jacob obtains this name through the blessing of El Shaddai, that is “El of the Mountain.”</p>
<p>Second, there exist numerous parallels and similarities between descriptions and cultic terminology used for El in the Canaanite texts and those used for Yahweh<br />
in the biblical sources (see below). At some point, it is ascertained, the cultic worship of Yahweh must have absorbed that of El, through which means Yahweh assimilated both the imagery and epithets once used of El.</p>
<p>Finally, there is strong confirmation of this assimilation in the biblical record itself. In the oldest literary traditions of the Pentateuch, it is El who regularly appears and not Yahweh, or Yahweh as El! The patriarchal narratives<br />
identify El as the deity to whom many of the early patriarchal shrines and altars were built. For example, we are informed in Genesis 33:20 that Jacob builds an altar in the old cultic center of the north, Shechem, and dedicates it to “El, god of Israel” (’el ’elohe yišra’el ). There is no ambiguity in the Hebrew here: ’el must be translated as a proper name, El.3</p>
<p>Who was El? And why is he even mentioned in the Bible in the first place, let alone as the god of Israel in the older literary traditions of Genesis?</p>
<p>Our knowledge of El predominantly comes from an invaluable corpus of tablets discovered in 1929 in the ancient city of Ugarit, a major city-state of the second millennium BC located on the northern coast of Syria, modern day Ras Shamra.4<br />

 COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION

Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, Black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.

This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated &quot;Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America&#039;s Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member.&quot;

A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD”!

 The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud
published in 1935 was &quot;Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices&quot; by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.&#039;, Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the &quot;Foreword&quot; for the Soncino Edition
of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England.

 The world&#039;s leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-for-word
translation of the original texts. In his famous classic &quot;The History of the Talmud,&quot; Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states:

 &quot;THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence...IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the
power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time. IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH...&quot;

 SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a: &quot;What is meant by this? - Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is
not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is
not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? - Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilt (upon the
actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains:
Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of
nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be bestiality abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5).&quot;

     This &quot;divine truth&quot; which &quot;a whole people venerate&quot; of
which &quot;not a single letter of it is missing&quot; and today &quot;is
flourishing to such a degree as cannot be found in its history&quot; is illustrated by the additional verbatim quotations which follow:

SANHEDRIN, 55b: &quot;A maiden three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband&#039;s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. The penalty of adultery may be incurred through her; (if a niddah) she defiles him who has connection with her, so that he in turn defiles that upon which he lies, as a
garment which has lain upon (a person afflicted with gonorrhea).&quot; 

(footnotes) &quot;(2) His wife derives no pleasure from this, and hence there is no cleaving. (3) A variant reading of this passage is: Is there anything permitted to a Jew which is forbidden to a heathen. Unnatural connection is permitted to a Jew. (4) By taking the two in conjunction,
the latter as illustrating the former, we learn that the guilt of violating the injunction `to his wife but not to his neighbor&#039;s wife&#039; is incurred only for natural but not for unnatural intercourse.&quot; 

    SANHEDRIN, 69b &quot;Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai says, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declares her fit...All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old.

 KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. &quot;Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as `a girl who is injured by a piece of wood&#039; &quot;.

(footnotes) &quot;(5). Lit., `says&#039;. (6) Lit., `here&#039;, that is, less than three years old. (7) Tears come to the eyes again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.&quot;

    KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. &quot;Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is
not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood.&quot;

(footnotes) &quot;(1) Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood.&quot;

    ABODAH ZARAH, 36b-37a. &quot;R. Naham b. Isaac said: They decreed in connection with a heathen child that it
would cause defilement by seminal emission (2) so that an Israelite child should not become accustomed to commit pederasty with it...From what age does a heathen child cause defilement by seminal emission? From the age of nine years and one day.
(37a) for inasmuch as he is then capable of the sexual act he likewise defiles by emission. Rabina said: It is therefore to be concluded that a heathen girl
(communicates defilement) from the age of three years and one day, for inasmuch as she is then capable of the sexual act she likewise defiles by a flux.

    SOTAH, 26b. &quot;R. Papa said: It excludes an animal, because there is not adultery in connection with an animal (4). Raba of Parazika (5) asked R. Ashi,
Whence is the statement which the Rabbis made that there is no adultery in connection with an animal? Because it is written, Thou shalt not bring the hire
of a harlot or the wages of a dog etc.; (6) and it has been taught: The hire of a dog (7) and the wages of a harlot (8) are permissible, as it is said, Even both
of these (9) - the two (specified texts are abominations) but not four (10)...As lying with mankind. (12) But, said Raba, it excludes the case where he warned her against contact of the bodies (13). Abaye said to him, That is merely an obscene act (and not adultery), and did the All-Merciful prohibit (a wife to her husband) for an obscene act?&quot;

Of the &quot;sacred&quot; Talmudic teachings of the &quot;Sages,&quot; preserved since 500 A.D. and taught more widely today than ever before in Talmud-Torah schools in the U.S.A., perhaps nothing better illustrates &quot;fools&quot; with
&quot;reprobate minds&quot; than the teaching in the Talmud book of Yebamoth that spittle on the top of the bed curtain proves that a wife has been guilty of adultery, as only lying down face upwards could she have spit up on it.
Spitting several feet straight up! The Talmud states: 



&quot;When a peddler leaves a house and the woman within is fastening her sinnar [breech-cloth] … . If spittle is found on the upper part of the curtained bed she must, said Rabbi, go.&quot; Footnote: &quot;Even if there were no witnesses that misconduct took place.&quot; Further footnote:
&quot;Only the woman lying face upwards could have spat on the spot. Intercourse may, there fore, be suspected.&quot;]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD”!</p>
<p> The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud<br />
published in 1935 was &#8220;Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices&#8221; by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.&#8217;, Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the &#8220;Foreword&#8221; for the Soncino Edition<br />
of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England.</p>
<p> The world&#8217;s leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-for-word<br />
translation of the original texts. In his famous classic &#8220;The History of the Talmud,&#8221; Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states:</p>
<p> &#8220;THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence&#8230;IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the<br />
power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time. IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p> SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a: &#8220;What is meant by this? &#8211; Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is<br />
not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is<br />
not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? &#8211; Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilt (upon the<br />
actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains:<br />
Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of<br />
nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be bestiality abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5).&#8221;</p>
<p>     This &#8220;divine truth&#8221; which &#8220;a whole people venerate&#8221; of<br />
which &#8220;not a single letter of it is missing&#8221; and today &#8220;is<br />
flourishing to such a degree as cannot be found in its history&#8221; is illustrated by the additional verbatim quotations which follow:</p>
<p>SANHEDRIN, 55b: &#8220;A maiden three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband&#8217;s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. The penalty of adultery may be incurred through her; (if a niddah) she defiles him who has connection with her, so that he in turn defiles that upon which he lies, as a<br />
garment which has lain upon (a person afflicted with gonorrhea).&#8221; </p>
<p>(footnotes) &#8220;(2) His wife derives no pleasure from this, and hence there is no cleaving. (3) A variant reading of this passage is: Is there anything permitted to a Jew which is forbidden to a heathen. Unnatural connection is permitted to a Jew. (4) By taking the two in conjunction,<br />
the latter as illustrating the former, we learn that the guilt of violating the injunction `to his wife but not to his neighbor&#8217;s wife&#8217; is incurred only for natural but not for unnatural intercourse.&#8221; </p>
<p>    SANHEDRIN, 69b &#8220;Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai says, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declares her fit&#8230;All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old.</p>
<p> KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. &#8220;Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as `a girl who is injured by a piece of wood&#8217; &#8220;.</p>
<p>(footnotes) &#8220;(5). Lit., `says&#8217;. (6) Lit., `here&#8217;, that is, less than three years old. (7) Tears come to the eyes again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.&#8221;</p>
<p>    KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. &#8220;Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is<br />
not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood.&#8221;</p>
<p>(footnotes) &#8220;(1) Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood.&#8221;</p>
<p>    ABODAH ZARAH, 36b-37a. &#8220;R. Naham b. Isaac said: They decreed in connection with a heathen child that it<br />
would cause defilement by seminal emission (2) so that an Israelite child should not become accustomed to commit pederasty with it&#8230;From what age does a heathen child cause defilement by seminal emission? From the age of nine years and one day.<br />
(37a) for inasmuch as he is then capable of the sexual act he likewise defiles by emission. Rabina said: It is therefore to be concluded that a heathen girl<br />
(communicates defilement) from the age of three years and one day, for inasmuch as she is then capable of the sexual act she likewise defiles by a flux.</p>
<p>    SOTAH, 26b. &#8220;R. Papa said: It excludes an animal, because there is not adultery in connection with an animal (4). Raba of Parazika (5) asked R. Ashi,<br />
Whence is the statement which the Rabbis made that there is no adultery in connection with an animal? Because it is written, Thou shalt not bring the hire<br />
of a harlot or the wages of a dog etc.; (6) and it has been taught: The hire of a dog (7) and the wages of a harlot (8) are permissible, as it is said, Even both<br />
of these (9) &#8211; the two (specified texts are abominations) but not four (10)&#8230;As lying with mankind. (12) But, said Raba, it excludes the case where he warned her against contact of the bodies (13). Abaye said to him, That is merely an obscene act (and not adultery), and did the All-Merciful prohibit (a wife to her husband) for an obscene act?&#8221;</p>

In the infidel West, Muslims settle for waging jihad by stealth non-violently, because to wage jihad violently in the West would result in their quick defeat and the mass expulsion of Muslims.
