My Disappointment in Humanity

A friend of mine sent me a wonderful podcast from Dr. Gad Saad about President Trump's indictment. I urge you to listen to him. It inspired me to write this blog post.

The Indictment of Donald Trump - The End of the United States?

What so disappoints me is the majority of the world’s population who are either on the Left but not extremists or in the center or even to the right of center who refuse to take a stand on this, very sad day in US history. 

They either go about their business and ignore the calamity that is taking place in front of their eyes. Or even worse, they are ok with it. 

The extreme Leftists and various other nefarious groups who are neither Left or Right but just plain evil, of course disappoint me but less so than the masses I referred to above. There will always be evil people who are hell bent on destroying the world in order to, in their minds, elevate them in some way. (ie. they will get richer, get more powerful, etc.).

Someone in the gym wanted to get into a discussion with me about this the other day. She was obvious on the Left. Normally I’m happy to have a civilized discussion on politics of any sort. The usual debates with these type of people center around why I like and support Donald Trump. They just can’t for the life of them understand why I (the cool, guitar playing, pickle ball playing, artist, fly fisherman and reptile lover) like Mr. Orange man.

But these days I'm not into having those 'friendly' discussions/debates. In previous blogs I asked out loud, why am I forced to become Donald Trump's defender? There were a million things I'd rather be doing, believe me. 

Today as Dr. Saad said, the US has definitely morphed into a typical Banana Republic. Actually I stated this after the last election fiasco whereby the election was stolen. I even predicted that so many on the Left can't wait to see their former president hand cuffed in his underwear and grabbed from his home in the middle of the night screaming. 

Any honest human being who is able to remove themselves from their emotional hatred of a person because of that person's personality,  would be able to identify a serious problem here. 

For the first time in US history, a former US president who is running to be president again in the next election is being charged with a felony without even mentioning what the charge is! There are so many problems with the indictment that I won't bother describing them here. You can surely find them on other internet sites. I'll just mention this little tidbit: The organization that's in charge of keeping elections legitimate, passed on charging President Trump on anything. 

                                            Here he is in court with his defence team.

But this didn't stop an extreme Leftist Democrat, attorney general from New York who was funded by George Soros (yes his name appears in many of my blogs lately) from charging the former president on what amounts to be a possible book keeping error. 

So back to my Trump hating friend in the gym. She declared that she didn't like him for his policies and chose being 'pro-choice' as a policy she's in favour but Trump was not. To shut her down I simply asked her if she was in favour of the Covid mandates that required every citizen to get the vaccine. I guessed that she'd say yes and she did. I said I'm also pro-choice. What most progressive women say: My body, my choice. (ie. if I want to have an abortion, I will). So I told her the same thing regarding the jab. My body my choice. I tried to show her what a hypocrite she was. But I did that to simply end the discussion. 

You see, now is not the time to debate such things. Now is the time to stand up for what once was one of the greatest countries in modern day history, the USA. Trying to lure me in to defending Donald Trump now on any policy is beyond insulting. Very similar to attending a funeral of a good person and someone is dying (excuse the pun) to tell you something bad that the dead person might have done. Or maybe a better analogy: before saving someone's life you throw out your hand but before grabbing their hands you ask them if they are sorry for some stupid thing they might have done. Simply the wrong time and place.

So, yes I'm very disappointed in Humanity right now. Regardless of how things turn out (whether or not Trump wins in court), the damage is done. By letting this clown in NY charge the former president, the US devalued itself into a Banana Republic. This is what our enemies do all the time with their political opponents.  Of course this was all done under the watchful eyes of the Biden administration. The reason is simple and obvious: They knew they had no case but did it to try to abort Trump's candidacy as president in the upcoming elections. 

To put it another way, had he not thrown his hat into the game as a Republican nominee, this insane charge would never have happened.

So to humanity, go on your merry way for now and ignore how your country is being destroyed and with it goes the rest of the world. Maybe one day after the US becomes a full on dictatorship like North Korea, you might want to kick yourself for being silent now. What you don't get is that what is happening to Donald Trump now can and will happen to you sooner or later unless you stop this now. 

 

 

Is the attack of a religious couple in Tel Aviv by protesters a sign of End of Days?

I must apologize up front for this lengthy blog post but I do have a lot to say.

Did you hear about the vicious attack by Jews on a religious couple in Tel Aviv? The Jews were part of the demonstrations. 

Probably not. It's certainly not on the mainstream media not in Israel and not elsewhere. Here's the article if you care to read it (pretty vile stuff): https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/369435

According to our sages, Jew on Jew violence is one of many terrible things that could happen during End of Days. 

It’s bigger than that. Man on Man violence including children vs parents, etc. Not to plagiarize my blog name but the world will be upside down. One time good nations will become evil and evil may do good. We see that happening today (the US stands out as such an example). 

Letting the worst US president of all time bring the country down to its knees while trying to put one of the best US president's in jail.

Replacing the most sought after currency (US dollar) with one of the least valued currencies from China! (Oh boy!)

Men become women and women men. 

An Israeli hero was duly elected to be the leader of the Jewish Nation. A nation which you all well know is constantly facing existential threats from all of its many enemies. Yet he continues to be constantly hounded by his political foes and other nefarious organizations for years about every possible issue. Some are made up charges, some are real issues. But together they form a dangerous distraction for him (Bibi) and his coalition and their military leaders who are in charge of keeping Israel safe. 

In short, it has become increasingly hard for good people to discern the truth. 

I see this as the biggest problem facing us. Well intentioned people will be (are) sucked in to believing all sorts of  lies and nonsense. Supporting the Ukrainians at all costs (WW3) is such an example. The demonstrations, etc. happening in Israel supposedly over judicial reform is another example. 

Some of you are probably wondering why I mention the End of Days. Has Leon suddenly lost his mind? He used to stick to political, geopolitical or cultural events that often had to do with antisemitism. May I remind you again that I consider myself to be a Jewish activist (among other things). Of all things Jewish, the concept of End of Days is quite an important and serious one. But one that is barely talked about by the typical Jew on the street. Orthodox Jews understand this concept quite well (far better than I). Some religious Christians do as well. 

If we can celebrate Passover and understand its importance and meaning (and most of us do), then we can certainly contemplate this concept. As I mentioned before the End of Days is a period of time that will precede the coming of the Messiah. I keep hearing that the Moshiach is at the door.  Based on how I see the world right now, it all makes perfect sense. We could well be in End of Days!

I believe that things will get incrementally ugly (like the frog in the slow boiling pot of water) until finally all of us get the message. 

Let me make a case of exactly this...

Last night I attended an event at a local synagogue whereby they brought  a bright Israeli, to talk about what’s going on in Israel (judicial reform/demonstrations) in a supposed non-partisan way. I went as an observer, not to learn anything new as I am already well informed on the issue. I see how so many get easily distracted by unrelated issues and suffer from information overload. It’s so easy to throw shiny objects at us so we lose our focus on what I would say are often straight forward and not complicated issues. 

He was very well spoken, funny and at ease. He did a reasonable job keeping us engaged but the irony was that he never once explained the obvious facts on judicial reform. 

1. For decades the supreme court and AG held the elected officials hostage and ruled over them

2. The supreme court were self appointed

3. The proposals from the newly elected government aim to rectify these 2 dangerous policies

Since his talk was to focus on judicial reform, I would have expected him to explain in detail how the current supreme court gets appointed and what they do vs the new proposals from Bibi’s administration (how he aims to change the self appointed method to a fairer model) and what they should be doing. 

He never once mentioned the dangerous interference to Israel’s democracy from the outside. By nefarious people like George Soros, or organizations like the WEF, EU or other countries like the US. When a question was asked why the US thinks it can interfere in Israeli elections he answered because Israel relies on the US. Maybe that is their thinking but they couldn't be more morally wrong. The US also relies on Israel.  

He talked about everything else though and the crowd was very satisfied. He made sure to tell us how he and his children demonstrated often and that (according to him) Bibi made a mistake in firing his minister of defence Gallant. No reason given for his sentiment.

 

The facts by the way are once again simple. While Bibi was away on important government business, Gallant decided to stab his boss in the back and publicly call for a halt in the judicial reform process. Plain and clear dangerous insubordination that calls for his ouster. Did that raise the ire of the demonstrators? Probably. But there was no choice. Any other action would help tear down Bibi’s administration. If every cabinet member decided to defy their boss’s orders you’d have total chaos and no government. 

Although overall he made some very rational and reasonable points, he subliminally made sure that the crowd understood who the bad guys were. He called ministers Smotrich and Gvir, extremists. I might as well be listening to CNN. 

Worse still in my opinion was this point:

That the religious sector have more children than the secular sector. And since the religious sector is primarily conservative and on the Right and the secular sector is usually liberal and on the Left, it’s not looking good for the secular sector and that’s in fact what the demonstrations are about. 

Personally I found that whole idea offensive. That idea is being promulgated throughout our Jewish population and it certainly doesn’t sit well with me. 

Israel is composed of a very diverse group of people. Jews both secular and religious, some Ashkenazi (European origin) some Mizrachi, some rich, some poor, some highly educated, some not, etc. Arabs also secular and religious, some are Muslim, some Christian, Druze and many others make up this population. Until now, they worked together most of the time,  to make the country run. His discussion made the audience worry that if the Supreme Court eventually became run by the Orthodox community then the rest of Israeli society would suffer. Ladies would all have to wear head scarfs, men would don long beards and wear black hats. 

Essentially Israel would become an equivalent to a shariah state like Iran. He didn't state this but that was the implication.

He failed to mention that unlike the current system, the new proposals would define the job of the supreme court to judge cases, not to make laws! That’s what all supreme courts do (or should be doing). 

I think I can make this case objectively as a secular Jew but one who values Judaism. I myself stated in one of my blogs, that I would love to see a true Torah scholar sitting on Israel’s supreme court. The wisdom from such a real Jewish person is much needed there. After all if a sitting justice can be an Arab and it seems that most secular Jews are ok with that, then why not an orthodox Jew on the supreme court?

The discussion defies logic. One can say that the Arab population is exceeding at a faster rate than the secular Jewish population. If that is the case and since we currently allow anti-Israeli Arabs to sit in the Israeli parliament (Knesset) then what’s to stop them from acquiring more and more seats until one day they run the country (never mind the Supreme Court)?

In any case, the demographic predictions in Israel have been wrong, often. Historically some Jews had predicted that the Arab population would outgrow the Jewish population 10 years ago. Clearly this has not happened and hopefully never will. The experts then based their calculations on the Western world's declining population. In North America and Europe it was and remains true that we are not procreating near enough to replenish our population. But the secular Jewish population in Israel defied this trend substantially. Add to this the huge influx of secular Jewish immigrants from places like Russia, Ukraine and other African nations as well as non-Jews who continue to make Israel their home,  balance out the increase in orthodox Jews.  His premise is if not an outright lie, it's at least faulty. It's designed to inject a sense of paranoia and fear into us. Oy vey, the religious Jews are going to ruin our 'Jewish' homeland!  Can you see the irony here?

There are so many complicated factors in trying to wage predictions in Israelis future population growth that we simply can’t rely on any one’s ‘expert’ opinion. Making this as part of a case to any argument (pro or against the idea that the supreme court turning more Jewish is good thing) is a mistake. 

I point out this event because it stands as a great example of where we are today, how we think and where we're heading. I knew many people at the event and liked them all. They are all good people with good souls and good intentions. So was the speaker. But they are all playing with fire. 

Yes my friends, hold on to your hats. The blurring of right and wrong, evil and good, rational and illogical are facing us right now. Enjoy the ride if you can.
