The Behar Doctrine Will Age Poorly

Still no word from the State Department regarding my wife’s visa. We figure they will give up tomorrow.

We are both tired of waiting. When you start the process and you know it will be a long time before it’s over, you don’t feel so bad. When they tell you they’ll give you an answer in 5 business days and they don’t come through, it’s worse. You feel like your life has a pause button. You don’t want to do much of anything until the wait is over. The wait absorbs your attention.

While I wait, I am watching the astounding blossoming of antisemitism across the globe. For the first time in my life, Jewish Americans are besieged right here in the country where most of them were born. That’s really something. Immigrants see America as a place of safety. Would they feel that way if they knew their American grandchildren would have to run from the same human filth that tormented them in their home countries?

I guess there must be a lot of Jews who don’t take it seriously, not realizing how terrorism works. It’s a sporadic phenomenon. They attack here. They attack there. Time passes between attacks. Things feel normal almost all the time. It doesn’t mean you’re safe. It just means you’re relying on the odds to protect you. If you’re not taking measures to protect yourself, you’re like a sheep who hopes the wolves will eat other sheep first.

Something like 100,000 Muslims and Islamist allies marched in Washington. If I were a Jew, I’d be flipping out. We will never see that many people march there in support of the Jews.

We are seeing antisemitic protests that are of the same order of magnitude as the Nuremberg rallies, and they’re happening in countries that supposedly support the Jews. Imagine 100,000 Nazis having a rally in Washington in 1942.

Well, we pretty much just saw that. And give the Nazis credit; before they decided genocide was the answer, they tried to ship Jews to other countries. For Muslims, genocide has always been Plan A.

Some Arab nut in Indianapolis just drove a car into a school building she thought belonged to Jews. Indianapolis! Not Riyadh. Not Nuremberg. Not even a city popular with Jews. The weirdest part of the story is that the building belonged to the Black Hebrew Israelites, a wacky cult that says the Jews are really Eastern European impostors who stole their heritage. They’re among the worst antisemites.

Yes, we all know the ancient Jews were actually black people from West Africa. It makes total sense. That’s why the Bible says David had red hair. Like all West Africans.

The Black Hebrew Israelites used to murder people in Miami. The cult was a gang. Their leader was a moron whose birth name was Hulon Mitchell. He called himself Yahweh ben Yahweh. “Yahweh the son of Yahweh.” In Miami, we used to call them the Yahwehs. They still have a headquarters on 2nd Avenue in the 441 Building. They assemble in the parking lot in their weird costumes and practice martial arts moves.

They’re preparing to face imaginary enemies, and the Jews are doing little to prepare to face real ones.

I wonder what I would do if I found out tens of thousands of people with no loyalty to the US had assembled in the capital city to call for my death. I guess I’d move to a conservative county in the country. I’d move into a home with a lot of land, a fence, a gate, conservative neighbors, and a 2A-loving police force. I’d buy a lot of guns and ammunition. I’d also weld up a bunch of target stands with steel gongs, and I’d practice with them erected next to my own berm.

Oh, wait. I already did all that.

I did most of it because I like shooting, not because I was anticipating an invasion, but the end result is the same. I’m safer than most people.

Every day, thousands of military-age single male Muslims enter the US without background checks, and most American Jews are sitting around thinking, “We’ll never be safe until we take Glocks and AR-15’s away from rural Protestants.” They’re letting Joy Behar set their priorities. Wonder if she’ll change her tune when they come for her.

New York contains the largest collection of Jews outside Israel, and in New York, body armor is illegal. ARMOR, which can’t hurt anyone. It boggles the mind. Are the delis really that good? Is it really that important to live near dozens of glatt kosher restaurants?

California, which is number three after Israel, has a similar ban in the works.

Let’s do it right. Make it illegal to take cover behind furniture.

California and New York have enormous Muslim populations, and because Jews insist on living in cities, terrorists in these states will not have to travel far to commit crimes.

If you put 10,000 armed Jews in an enclave in rural Tennessee, it would take the US military to defeat them. No one else could do it. Crazed Uber drivers and falafel-stand proprietors from Dearborn in rented vans wouldn’t stand a chance. And most of their gentile neighbors would jump at the chance to defend Jews. And they would know how.

If you can hit a deer 600 feet away, you can hit a terrorist whose parents are first cousins, fumbling with a cheap AR-15. And a lot of guys in the South can hit a man half a mile away.

Rich gentiles are buying homes built into missile silos in the wilderness. Rich Jews are more concerned about Trump resuming power and making more mean tweets.

My guess is that we are about to see an explosion in antisemitism. Right now, we may be looking at a lit fuse and mistaking it for the bomb. I think many millions of demon-controlled people are about to come out and say it: it’s not Israel’s policies. It’s the Jews. They have to go. And it will eventually become the policy of the majority.

After the Jews, Christians will be the targets. Not gay-church universalist “Jesus is just like Buddha” Christians. Actual Christians.

As the Muslims say, “First the Saturday people; then the Sunday people.”

The people who will be against us won’t just be Muslims. Leftists will join with them, as they are already doing.

Christians are doing a good job already, abolishing real Christianity from the world. When the violence becomes overt and sanctioned, I’m sure many of the people who kill us will identify as Christians.

What do the rest of us do when pogroms become normalized in our cities? Do we get in our trucks and go shoot antisemites? I haven’t thought about it before. Do we stay home and say, “Let the dead bury the dead,” as Yeshua did?

I don’t think God will want Christians to send armed convoys to cities, no matter what happens to urban Jews. It just doesn’t sound like Yeshua. He generally stays out of squabbles among people who don’t listen to him.

I guess I’ll sit back, watch people wait for it to blow over, and then observe their disappointment when it gets worse. My wife and I will continue to pray for Israel every day. There isn’t much more we can do.

PROFANITY AND HATE ALERT. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Wow. This is interesting. The crazy young female man-wannabee who shot up a Christian school in Nashville had a manifesto, and Steven Crowder has it. He will be reading it online. Here is the first page:

That’s for the Sunday people.

Just Give her That Green Card

In case anyone is wondering, my wife is still in Africa.

She had her visa interview week before last, and they asked for more evidence that we were really married. We emailed it the same day, but it arrived after working hours because of the time difference. They told us they needed 5 working days. I thought this meant they would finish last week, but we now think they don’t count the day they first see the stuff in their email box. So we should be seeing a response tomorrow, by God’s grace.

The word says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” We remember this in prayer. Consulate employees are not kings, but the principle applies.

My wife is nervous because she has been rejected so many times by other countries. It’s not the same thing, however. America is legally obligated to take her, and I have the right and the means to burden the system by pursuing legal remedies if the consulate blows it. They’re going to let her in. They want this application out of their pipeline. People in government jobs love getting problems off their desks.

It’s not like applying for a tourist visa to Italy, where they lie to you and verbally abuse you at the embassy and then go back on their word, knowing there is no accountability.

They wanted more proof I had been supporting her. Not hard to supply. They already had bank documents from her end. They wanted to see what I received from my bank, so I sent examples. Barring contributions from a new husband, it would be hard to explain how an unemployed woman went from living in poverty to owning a car and living in a nice rental house almost overnight, and the foreign trips would also be unlikely in the extreme without help, but they want to be sure.

They also wanted to check into the type of wedding we had. We were married online by the only county in the US that will marry a citizen to a foreign national who isn’t present in America. The embassy lady was not familiar with Zoom marriages, which is surprising, since they became very popular during the pandemic. It’s weird, but it’s 100% binding in every state.

The lady was very nice and seemed to have no doubts. I’m sure she can tell the difference between scammers and bona fide applicants, having seen many of both.

I am hoping I won’t have to buy a weekend ticket. The choices are limited, they cost more, and flights are crowded. We would really like to move her out by Thursday.

I think I’m fairly well prepared on this end. I bought 4 containers of Haagen-Dazs, and I have frozen ribs plus a beef rib roast. I have a set of large creme brulee dishes, too.

Thanksgiving will be upon us very quickly, so we will have to get ready. I’m thinking boneless turkey with cornbread stuffing and gravy, as always. Mashed potatoes with tons of garlic and butter. Cranberry relish. Yams blended with pineapple, butter, and brown sugar, with pecans on top glazed with more butter and brown sugar. One pecan pie. One pumpkin pie. Some other stuff.

The local Publix had BOGO Miracle Whip this week, so we are all set for turkey sandwiches.

I don’t know if I will be able to make her understand that you don’t eat creme brulee on Thanksgiving.

We are still planning to hit White Castle on the day she arrives.

I don’t know if her relatives fully understand their situation. They are less resourceful than she is, and she has helped them with a lot of their problems. She’s about to leave them behind, so she is having to tell them to get it together. I don’t know what will become of them. Because she will be here, her ability to help will be curtailed.

She may never see any of them again. Getting them tourist visas is impossible, and I’m not shelling out 5 figures to bring them over anyway. I have no desire at all to go to Zambia, and I don’t think my wife does, either. She’s not all that close to her siblings. Her mother and father died many years ago, the family has been shaken up, and there are age differences.

She put me on the phone with 4 of my new nephews the other day. I can’t remember their ages, but I think they’re all under 10. They asked all sorts of questions. They seemed to think they would be coming to visit. Even if it was realistic to expect us to fund a $20,000 excursion, which it isn’t, Uncle Sam would not let them come. I didn’t explain this to them. They are too young to understand. Sad.

It’s frustrating having very poor in-laws who aren’t very capable. My wife is not much like them. She gets stuff done.

She’ll have to get a Florida phone number, so a lot of relations and acquaintances who now have her number will not have it in a month. She is looking forward to the peace.

While I wait, I fiddle with trivial endeavors. Today I kegged a wheat beer, and I made it with a new hop: bergamot. Supposed to have a lot of orange flavor.

Very happy with the name I came up with.

I hope I have something good to write tomorrow night.

At Least Mel Gibson Can Say he was Drunk

Here’s what bad parents do when one of their rotten kids abuses one of their good kids: they punish the good kid because it’s easier, and it gets the problem out of the parents’ hair faster so they can go back to watching TV. The world is in the process of treating Israel like a good kid whose obnoxious sibling abuses him every day. They’re criticizing Israel for responding to a Pearl Harbor/911-level atrocity while virtually ignoring the fact that the enemy’s cowardly, cruel, unlawful actions are the sole cause of the problems other nations are whining about.

I hope that by now, we all understand that leftists are much more antisemitic than conservatives. If that wasn’t obvious to some thick-headed people a month ago, it should be by now. In America, conservatives support Israel’s right to stamp out Hamas, to a degree that is near-monolithic. On the other hand, virtually 100% of the people who are raising hell with Israel are leftists, as are virtually 100% of the American citizens and permanent residents who want to see both Israel and the Jews annihilated.

Joe Biden does not support Israel as strongly as Donald Trump or even George W. Bush, and Joe Biden’s presidency is a by-product of the Obama presidency, which was openly hostile to Israel. Obama, our first homosexual president and a former Muslim who rose to prominence by rubbing shoulders with known antisemites, once made Benjamin Netanyahu sit in a waiting room while he had dinner with his wife and kids. His administration made it clear, over and over, that Israel’s special status was on hiatus while Obama was in the White House.

Biden depends on antisemites for votes. He actually got away with saying, “If you’re not for Joe Biden, you ain’t black,” because it’s very nearly true in this country. About 87% of American blacks voted for Joe Biden, and in polls, blacks reveal themselves to be more than four times as likely to be antisemitic than whites. Biden also depends on Hispanics for disproportionate support, and antisemitism is a big problem within this bloc, possibly because of the link to Spain, a country which was invaded by Muslims, became a Muslim nation, was ruled by Muslims for over 700 years, and still has a populace largely descended from Muslim Arabs. He got about 70% of the Muslim vote, even though he supports sexual perversion, which the Koran bans. Most American Muslims say they support the Hamas attack of October 7.

Biden also depends on the Jewish vote. He got about 77% of the Jews to vote for him in 2020, which is no surprise, because Jews always commit suicide in voting booths. They seem determined to vote for whichever party will do them the most harm. Sometimes I think they would vote for Hitler if he were resurrected.

Jews say they support Israel, but in a display of incomprehensible cognitive dissonance, they vote for Israel’s enemies over and over. Biden has to make blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims happy in order to get their votes. The Jews don’t matter, because they will vote for him no matter what. As long as he doesn’t bomb the Knesset, they will stick by him.

Biden is now telling Netanyahu that if Israel doesn’t cease fighting, “the world” will stop supporting Israel. Try and imagine Donald Trump saying that. What it really means is that Biden is afraid he’ll lose a big piece of his own base if he doesn’t pander to the gaslighters and Nazis.

Why is “the world” upset? Because Israel is winning, and in the process of winning, it is unavoidably killing many of the human shields Hamas is holding hostage. Not Jewish hostages. They’re a tiny minority. Muslim hostages. Civilians, 57% of whom voted for Hamas knowing exactly what it was.

Israel begs noncombatants to leave. Hamas won’t let them. Hamas builds command centers under hospitals and steals hospital diesel for terrorist generators and vehicles. Hamas runs tunnels under schools and homes, and it fires rockets from mosques, and not inadvertently or out of necessity. Hamas goes out of its way to put noncombatants in harm’s way, and its leaders have openly admitted the reason is to discourage Israel, which, unlike Hamas, does its best to avoid harming noncombatants.

Israel warns Palestinians when it attacks. Try and picture Hamas doing that for Israeli civilians. Never. Hamas is cowardly as policy. They target civilians and run from soldiers. When they attack people who can fight back, it’s as a last resort.

Hamas is completely at fault for every single Palestinian civilian death and injury, and they can put an end to it in one day by releasing noncombatants and abandoning their positions in hospitals and mosques and so on. They won’t do it, but somehow Israel is supposed to pull back and wait for them to rearm and fortify. Israel is supposed to do this for a group of people, at least 57% of whom want to kill every Jew on Earth and force everyone else to accept Satan’s bizarre Mohammed cult.

What’s the message here? The message is this: “the world” supports the use of human shields in war. It works. It should be rewarded.

If this war goes away, what will happen the next time Islamist cowards go after Israel? They’ll have a human shield plan that makes this one look mild. Maybe they’ll strap people to the hoods of their vehicles and the walls of their buildings.

Where is the incentive for them to stop? There is none. Only overwhelming positive reinforcement.

Is this Zechariah 14? Will this be the war that pits every other nation against Israel? Biden is stupid, senile, narcissistic, flamboyantly dishonest, and willing to say anything that benefits himself and his family. Maybe it won’t be long before he counts the votes and cuts Israel loose.

Maybe Palestine itself won’t be his excuse. Maybe Israel will explode an atomic bomb in Tehran. Maybe Netanyahu will make a fateful choice, or someone in the chain of command will go rogue.

Sooner or later, the entire world will turn against Israel. A Jewish prophet predicted it in around 500 BC, so it has to happen.

It seems to me that America is the great whore of the Revelation. Perhaps Europe is included, because Europe used to be a stronghold of Christianity. In the Bible, “whore” doesn’t just mean “prostitute.” Any woman who commits adultery, which is worse than prostitution because of the betrayal and emasculation, is a whore. America and Europe were like brides to God, so now that they’re turning on him, the whore label fits perfectly. Same goes for Turkey, now that I think about it. The seven churches of the Revelation were all in Turkey.

If you look at the MSM coverage of the war, you will see all sorts of criticism of Israel’s inadvertent killing of Muslim civilians. There should be continuous, top-volume outrage over the human shield policy. It should be the UN’s number one concern right now.

Our 85-IQ, rehab-frequenting celebrities should be tweeting about it around the clock. It’s not happening. It’s cool to be for the terrorists. Satan always decides what’s cool.

We are seeing the Goebbels Jedi mind trick in action. The people who tell us how to think are ignoring the truth and repeating lies over and over. It’s going to work. Antisemitism will increase. Hatred of real Christians will increase. Virtually no one knows the Holy Spirit, so the voice of truth is underrepresented. Only the Holy Spirit cures delusion.

Israel needs to keep pummeling Hamas. It needs to continue bombing tunnels and hideouts. If it doesn’t, the alternative is to sit back, watch Hamas rightly declare victory, and wait for worse attacks. If noncombatants die, at least they won’t be Jews. The overwhelming majority will be Hamas supporters who need an attitude adjustment.

In America, if my friend and I rob a bank, and my friend shoots a teller, I’m on the hook for murder. If a cop shoots at us and kills a teller, my friend and I are both on the hook for murder. It’s funny how we embrace such laws while denying the same grace to Israel, which would not be killing anyone had it not been dragged into a fight. If a bank robber is responsible for the death of an accomplice, victim, police officer, or bystander killed by police, then Hamas is responsible for the deaths of noncombatants killed by Israel.

The willful blindness will only get worse. Blogging about it seems to serve no purpose.

We may be in for an interesting holiday season.

There is no Mammad like Yeshua

The spirit of antichrist continues to energize his shock troops.

I have to wonder what Jews are saying in private these days. Beginning at the age of three, I found myself surrounded by Jewish friends and acquaintances, and that continued for over three decades. These days, I don’t get to interact with Jews, so I have to get information from the media. Jewish people have traditionally been somewhat reluctant to tell the world everything they’re thinking, for obvious reasons, so I can’t say I know exactly what’s happening.

What I wonder is whether they’re sitting around their dining room tables asking each other whether a new holocaust is here. The answer to that question is “no.” The old Holocaust never stopped. It just went into remission.

You know how remission works. Whenever you hear a sick person say, “They told me I’m cancer-free,” you know that person will probably be dead within 10 years. “Cancer-free” is a lie. It just means they can’t find it at the moment.

Muslims in Paris just performed a little terrorist raid. They vandalized Jewish homes at least 857 times, painting the star of David on them. You can say it’s not terrorism because vandalism isn’t violent, but that isn’t true. Threats are terrorism. The word “terrorism” means trying to achieve goals by instilling terror. It’s not necessary for violence to occur as long as people are terrified.

Remarkably, Berlin has a Jewish community. It’s not large, but it’s there. Berlin Jews are now experiencing antisemitic vandalism. Muslims are tearing mezuzahs out of their doorframes.

Of course, we already know about the Jewish students who were terrorized at the Cooper Union in Manhattan, and the mob attack in Muslim-dominated Dagestan, a Russian republic. Hundreds of Muslims swarmed an airport, accosting people and asking if they were Jewish. They said they wanted to lynch Jews.

I just read a wild article under the heading “The Volokh Conspiracy.” The article appears at Reason.com. I guess Eugene Volokh moved? No idea. I have only looked at his blog a couple of times in two decades because I have zero interest in law. Funny thing for a lawyer to say, but it’s a fact. For me, it was just a way to get money, like working for Domino’s or Uber. Not the most challenging, fulfilling, or interesting job there is.

The article quoted another article, written by Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law. You can find it without a paywall on the site of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

It’s amazing that a Jew smart enough to be the law school dean at Berkeley would be foolish enough to take the job, but this is how things are. Overwhelmingly, Jews support and associate with their worst enemies.

Chemerinsky says, “I am a 70-year-old Jewish man, but never in my life have I seen or felt the antisemitism of the last few weeks.” How deep in the sand has his head been? I’m a Gentile. I live in relative safety. I had no reason to keep tabs on anti-Jewish sentiment, but he did. I knew things were bad years ago. Why didn’t he?

He was surprised when he found out he had students who supported the Hamas attack. Surpised? How is that possible? I went to Columbia about a billion years ago, and there were already punk dime store revolutionaries, including Jews, wearing khaffiyahs.

He still says, “I strongly oppose the policies of the Netanyahu government, favor full rights for Palestinians, and believe that there must be a two-state solution.” What? Is survival of no importance to this man?

He quotes other professors who have publicly threatened Jews in the US. He’s in the US. Do you think he has any idea how to operate a semiautomatic rifle? Do you think he has taken the sane precaution of taking his wife or children to gun ranges? Probably not. He’s a gun-confiscation nut who opposes carry rights. You can look that up.

Maybe he’s a hypocrite. I hope so. Maybe he’s like the leftists who scream for high taxes and then hide money illegally. Maybe he has machine guns in the trunk of his German luxury car.

What’s he going to do when a demonized student wearing Palestinian colors puts a knife to his throat? Offer to debate him? Ask for a continuance so he can submit a brief?

What does it take to convince a leftist he needs to arm himself? I mean Western leftists who live in comfort, not the millions of leftist who have already armed themselves and killed their betters.

Were there Jews like this under Hitler? Did they go around saying it was wonderful to see the German working class challenge the wealthy? Did they blame their own people for the Versailles treaty? You have to wonder.

At least one Jewish woman in Israel had her baby cut from her belly and beheaded, with the umbilical cord still attached. This is what antisemitism looks like in 2023. Kristallnacht looks pleasant by comparison. And journalists don’t care, because they’re in the tank for Islam. Journalists called the Dagestan attack a protest. It was a pogrom. Are pogroms protests now?

Atrocities can happen here. Don’t think the threats are empty. Human beings are no damn good, as my mother always said, in total agreement with the Bible. When conditions are right, they are capable of deeds that would make demons puke. If they can burn babies to death and cut people’s feet off in Israel, they can do it here. They’re not inhibited by empathy or shame. They’re just waiting to feel sufficient support from the mob.

It may be that the prediction of Zechariah 14 is just about here. The prophet clearly stated it would happen when the day of the Lord came, and the day of the Lord is the tribulation.

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

This hasn’t happened yet, so it can’t be about the past.

Over the last half-century, hatred of Israel has become fashionable among leftists. It has built gradually. Many Jews joined right in, because the general tendency of Jews is to curry favor with the left. Our universities have been instrumental in driving the hate. Somehow, Jews either failed to notice or got on the bandwagon.

One of my former college friends is a pro-Palestinian activist. He married a gentile, and my impression is that he turned the pants over to her. When I knew him, he really disliked Arabs. He called them “rabhabs.” No idea what that meant. He started taking a few measures intended to make it look like he kept kosher. He sang prayers over meals sometimes. He supported Israel. He refused to marry the love of his life because she was Catholic. His family was against the marriage. His second wife was born a gentile, but she converted in what was probably a reform synagogue. Possibly conservative. Not Orthodox.

Reform Judaism is the branch that brought the world the first proud lesbian rabbis. You get to eat anything you want, you can be an atheist, and it’s okay for your rabbi to invite Muslim clerics to speak on Saturdays.

He’s a far-out leftist today, if he’s still alive. I wonder what he thinks about taking that path now. Muslims and other antisemites are not going to listen when he says he’s on their side. If violence comes to his door, they’ll do him and his wife just as they would do Benjamin Netanyahu.

Having known a lot of Jews, I know two things. They are the smartest and most talented people on Earth, and they are also ruled by emotion, not reason. Intelligence doesn’t help if you can’t rule your biases and the herd instinct. If you have to vote for Biden because your great-grandpa voted for FDR, you are not listening to anything above the brainstem.

Ultimately, rejecting the Messiah and the Holy Spirit caused the problems we are seeing today. The Tanakh makes it very, very clear. When Israel, meaning the body of Jews throughout the world, pleases God, things go well for Israel. When there are problems, it means investigation and repentance are in order. Something is clearly wrong when the Promised Land has been in gentile hands for nearly two millennia and one Austrian nut can stir Europeans up to kill something like a third of Israel in one decade. This is not how blessed nations live.

If this is God’s favor, what does his displeasure look like?

I challenge anyone to read the Tanakh and find periods where Israel endured major, prolonged conquest and subjugation while the Jews were pleasing God.

It’s not because people are eating shrimp or going without hats. It’s because they missed the Messiah. They missed unity with others who know God. They missed out on power and victory.

Same thing is now happening to Christians. God put up with a lot of terrible behavior from nominal Christians over the centuries, but now the stronghold is falling, and the world’s most powerful Christian nation is turning into a second-world country dominated by alien invaders we actually pay to come here. We are being dominated by men in dresses and women who have had themselves skinned so they can sport artificial penises. We are being overrun by socialists. A sick minority rules us with ease.

If you are blessed, one of you will put 10 thousand to flight. If not, it’s the other way around.

A lot of people have said the word “Babylon” refers to the Catholic church in eschatology. I feel it refers to America. Babylon is a whore. In the Bible, whores and adulteresses are pretty much the same thing. See Hosea. America was established by Yeshua, and we were made powerful and rich, but now America is a whore for Satan. Paganism, promiscuity, obscenity, pride, perversion, materialism…we decided we had created our own ascendancy, so we are abandoning God on the assumption that we can restore our country.

It will never happen. Our lifestyles are deteriorating. Unless you are blessed by God, your kids won’t own a nice house. They won’t live well on one income. They’ll always work long hours. They’ll see their country pushed around in international squabbles. They’ll live to see the dollar replaced in international business, and that will destroy their savings. They’ll have to bend the knee to the same kind of filthy mob that rounded up decent people in Cuba and Cambodia, took their homes, imprisoned them, tortured them, raped the women, and piled bodies on the ground.

If you forsake God, your sons will cut their penises off. Your daughters will grow beards. Your grandchildren will grow up in rented apartments. They’ll be indoctrinated by force. You will have nothing to say about it.

If you accept Yeshua, get baptized with the Spirit, pray in tongues, repent, confess, and grow as God’s child, you will eventually have peace, abundance, protection, and dominance. Your blessings will be separated from the curses on America. You can do well while your country is destroyed.

America is begging for a whore’s reward, and it’s already rolling in. God really hates unfaithfulness. It’s worse to be an adulteress than to be a stranger.

My wife and I have been praying for Israel every day ever since we started praying together. We pray for God to open the eyes of the Jews and show them how the rabbis have lied to them. We pray he will show them that Maimonides is in hell along with the other sages who kept them in the dark. We also pray he will defeat their enemies and give them victory. The problem is that blessings will always be connected to Yeshua, so there is a limit to what our prayers can do. There are some blessings God simply will not give to people who are against Yeshua.

Barring accepting the perfect solution, I suppose getting serious about self-defense is the best Band Aid.

It’s a terrible scenario. Many Jews knew antisemitism would prevent them from being safe in gentile nations, so they pushed for the restoration of their rightful homeland. According to Zechariah, they are going to find out they’re not safe even there. If the world rejects you, and your homeland–your mammad–turns out to be a house of straw, where, exactly, do you run?

Hamas Fans Protest Jewish Occupation of Manhattan

I’m brewing (wheat ale with bergamot hops), so I have to hang around indoors for a while. Might as well write.

We have a new thing in America. Jews cowering in terror in a university library in a major city while antisemites threaten them with big sticks, combined with an inability to get uniformed police to show up.

At first, the story was that the police refused to come, but now we are being told there were plainclothes detectives in the library.

A person called Chief of Patrol John Chell said, “There was no direct threats.”

The police must not be hearing the same things law students hear. When I was in law school, I was told that threatening a person with a weapon, while you were close enough to use it, was assault. A crime. If you look at video of the incident, you can see a moron with two big sticks, banging them together while staring at students protected only by glass and two doors the police say were not locked.

I know a little bit about Florida law. Here, if you make me mad while I’m driving, and I pick up my gun and hold it so you can see it, I commit a felony that carries a lot of prison time. I guess brandishing weapons that can easily crush skulls is no problem in New York.

People keep saying you can disagree with things Israel does without being antisemitic, and that is true. Protestors like to claim they’re against Israel, not Jews. If that’s the case, why did this herd of mouth-breathers go to NEW YORK and threaten AMERICAN Jews?

I’ll set the question apart in its own sentence.

If you’re against Israel but you have nothing against Jews, why wave weapons at Jews who are not Israelis, 5600 miles from Israel?

This happened in New York, a place where Jews feel safe. After Israel, New York has more Jews than any place. Jews love New York. Many identify with it more than they do with Israel. This happened in what may be the favorite city of more Jews than any other. More than Jerusalem. And our government did nothing.

University president Laura Sparks, clearly a crazy lady, called the event a “peaceful protest.” Waving big sticks at defenseless minority members is now a peaceful activity. Try it at a Biden press conference and see if the Secret Service thinks it’s peaceful.

Sparks comes from the same wacky leftist segment of society that says words are violence. So words are violence, but big sticks aren’t. If I remind Dylan Mulvaney he’s a man, it’s a crime of violence, but if I wave a big stick at an elderly rabbi, it’s expression. It’s beautiful. It’s “my truth.”

Here you see the political suicide of Jews at work. They chose this. They are overwhelmingly leftist. They helped create a climate of antisemitism in the world, by supporting leftism. They helped make New York City what it is. A lot of them are still marching with the pro-Hamas nuts.

They helped create a city where a person who behaves more like an ape than a human being can threaten them with weapons, but they can be imprisoned for carrying firearms. And most of them want nothing to do with firearms to begin with. They think the state will protect them. Like all the other gentile governments that have been so loyal to them.

Yesterday I read that a poll said 48% of younger Americans support Hamas over Israel, and 26% think ending the Jewish state and giving it to Arabs is the way to solve the problem. This is what happens when you embrace leftism. It infects future generations. How can American Jews be leftists? It’s astounding.

The good news is that American Jews will vote conservative, overwhelmingly, in the future. They’ve come to their senses.

No, they haven’t! They’re going to keep feeding the hand that bites them. Some will come around, but generally, they’ll continue assisting in their own destruction and punishing their friends.

My wife and I intercede for Israel and the Jews every day, but because a lot depends on their cooperation, I have extremely low expectations. I expect a majority of Jews to go down with the leftist ship, while loudly defending their stubbornness.

I think we’re seeing the Thirties all over again, and the windows of escape are slamming shut, after precious few people used them.

Because things are getting so weird, I’m considering going back to keeping a rifle in the car, along with several loaded magazines. It’s legal, and these days, it’s smarter than ever. This is an era of mob crime, and mob crimes call for rifles and lots of ammunition, as lynching victim Kyle Rittenhouse could tell you.

I’m trying to catch up on AK technology. I would never rely on an AR-pattern gun for self-defense, except as an emergency backup. AR’s are not reliable, period, and they are inferior for use at distances typical for self-defense. If you’re shooting at people beyond the range where an AK-47 is sufficiently accurate, you’re almost certainly trying to commit murder. It would be pretty unusual to find yourself in a situation where you reasonably feared great bodily harm from someone that far away.

It would be good to have a short folding AK in the car. They have new variants now, though, and it’s confusing. They have a thing called an AK-103. My understanding is that it takes optics better.

In recent years, it became possible to put a rear stock on an AK pistol without committing a crime. That would be great for a vehicle gun. Sadly, Biden ordered the ATF to ban “pistol braces” on unregistered AK pistols. He says they’re short-barreled rifles, which have to be registered. Common sense says he’s right, but legally, he’s wrong. It’s bizarre.

A case is going through the federal courts, addressing the pistol brace question. There is already an injunction that prevents the ATF from going after certain owners of braced pistols. It looks like the ATF is going to lose, big time. We’re not there yet, however.

I want no part of the coming violence, but I would also prefer not to be dragged out of my car and beaten to death, and I would like to be able to protect my wife instead of crying and shaking and wondering why the government hasn’t sent anyone to help us. A lot of Jews have suffered that fate recently, and many would have been fine–and able to kill terrorists–had they been armed instead of relying on an unrealistic conception of their government’s abilities.

Look what happens in a world where people reject Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. You have to buy products made to harm other human beings, or you have to choose to risk martyrdom.

If people were praying in the Spirit every day, God would fill them with his thoughts, emotions, and desires, and he would rid them of the Satanic excrement that drives them now. If two people are aligned with God, they are also aligned with each other. It’s axiomatic. This is why Yeshua is called the Prince of Peace. He owns it. There is no other source.

Unfortunately, Islamists and Jews believe Christianity is idolatry, and leftists prefer self-worship, government-worship, and paganism, so the situation will continue to deteriorate.

Look Out, Walmart

Looks like I’m going to have to start sleeping on the other side of the bed.

My wife had her embassy interview. We buried them with evidence. Before the interview, they demanded a tremendous amount of seemingly irrelevant information, so we were concerned. We were afraid they would try to trip her up on some minor point, like my favorite color.

In reality, they talked to her for about 5 minutes, asked for a few more bits of proof I supported her and that we had been to Hong Kong and Singapore recently, and they sent her home.

I spent some time today scanning junk I had saved. I have kept a huge number of receipts and boarding passes and so on. Now it has been emailed to Uncle Sam, so we should have a visa next week.

I have the greatest bed imaginable. It’s from Costco. I don’t know if they still sell them. It cost $500, and it came in a box. No frame. No headboard. Just a big sponge. I have wonderful pillows. I found out where Hampton Inn bought pillows, and I went to the same place. I sleep right next to the bathroom door with a rifle on the floor and a pistol on the nightstand. I have my phone and Bluetooth earpiece set up for charging there. The nightstand is at my right hand, where it should be.

Now I have to move because the other side of the bed is close to the air conditioning vent. Women don’t produce any heat, so they have to stay away from drafts. This is one reason they get married. They want to sleep next to something warm. Same reason snakes crawl into sleeping bags. But one hopes there is more to the attraction than that.

On the up side, if armed leftists invade rural areas as they say they hope to, she’ll be on the side nearest the yard, so she’ll provide some protection from small arms fire.

I can’t say enough about that bed. Memory foam beds have been around a while, but they didn’t become really popular until this century. The last mattress I bought before this one was a 1994 job, and it had the prehistoric springs and plush top. It’s a great mattress, and it’s in a guest room, but when I lie on the Costco mattress, I never feel like I have to move to get comfortable.

I had my side all broken in, and now guess who will be moving in to colonize it.

Today I sent the embassy baggage tags, boarding passes, passport stamps, e-tickets, proof of bank transfers, and a receipt for a bad in-flight meal. They already have a billion photos of us in exotic locales, but they want this stuff anyway.

I can understand. I guarantee you, there are Nigerians with shops full of green screens and backdrops, charging people for photos of them wherever they want. “HERE AM I MY GRACIOUS FRIENDS ON A LAPTOP AT MOUNT EVEREST BASE CAMP SCAMMING AN OLD LADY OUT OF $40,000!”

They have shops like that in Asia, proving human beings have lost touch with everything that matters. Why would I want you to fabricate a picture of me in Hong Kong on Victoria Peak, when I am, in fact, in Hong Kong on Victoria Peak?

I can’t believe how long this has taken. It will be wonderful to be able to pray with someone without using the phone.

The sweating is over. From here on out, it’s all small strokes. Our first meal at White Castle is so close, I can smell the grease.

Sliders and Concealed Carry: the Best America Has to Offer

The problem with brewing is that so few conclusions have been nailed down, even though homebrewers seem to know a great deal. Things that should be obvious by now are still unknown to a lot of us.

Example: which tubing to use to hook gas and beer up.

When you have a keezer, which is a freezer modified with taps and one or more tanks so you can dispense beer from it, you have to have a tank, kegs, and taps. You need tubing to get the gas from the tank to the gas regulator, from the regulator to the kegs, and from the kegs to the taps.

In the old days we used plain old vinyl from Home Depot.

After I quit brewing in ’07, people started getting anxious about oxygen.

When you brew your beer and put it in a fermenter, you want it to have oxygen in it. It makes the yeast happy. When fermentation is over, you want the oxygen gone. It interacts with beer and eventually ruins the flavor.

There are a lot of ways oxygen gets into beer. I used to run a tube from a fermenter into a keg with the lid off. That was how I got beer into the keg. Of course, oxygen got in. Wasn’t really a problem, but it could have become one if I let the beer sit long enough. Now I take a sanitized keg full of CO2 and I pump beer into it from the fermenter. Everything is sealed and pressurized.

Everything should be fine, right? No, because I have been using vinyl to get gas from the tanks to the regulators. At least I did this with one tank. I have two tanks in my keezer. One is CO2, for normal beers, and the other is a nitrogen/CO2 mix, for stout. As of a few days ago, I still had vinyl on the CO2 primary regulator.

What is a primary regulator?

I have 4 kegs of beer on one tank of CO2. The CO2’s pressure is hundreds of psi. It has to be stepped down so it doesn’t blow the kegs up. There is a gas regulator on the CO2 tank to get this done.

Most guys are happy with that. They will have the same pressure in all their kegs. Not me. Ales like more gas than lagers, and heavy beers may want a whole lot of gas. I bought a secondary regulator. This is 4 regulators in parallel. Each one can be adjusted to provide a pressure I like. Right now, three are at 12 psi, and one is at 18 psi, for my brutal fake Belgian ale.

Primary regulator on the tank. Secondary regulator between the primary and the kegs.

I had a fat vinyl tube going from the primary to the secondary.

It turns out vinyl lets oxygen in. The CO2 in the vinyl is at a minimum of 18 psi in order to get 18 psi in the fake Belgian, and atmospheric air is at 0 psi (gauge pressure), so how can oxygen get in? Doesn’t the CO2 keep it out? Apparently not. It’s sort of like osmosis. The tube sees 0 psi of oxygen inside itself, but our atmosphere is about 20% oxygen, so it sees oxygen pressure outside. The vinyl is not perfectly impermeable to oxygen, so some goes in.

This is the story, anyway.

An Australian company named Kegland makes all sorts of innovative products for brewers, and they created (or maybe found) EVAbarrier, a stiff tubing that is pretty good at keeping oxygen out. They also sell Duotight fittings to connect the tubing to beer and gas.

It’s really convenient. You don’t have to use hose clamps. You cut your tubing to the right length and shove it into the fittings. They bite down on it and seal it up.

As of night before last, my CO2 system has been connected with EVAbarrier. I was already using it for everything but the primary-secondary leg, so I only had to replace two fittings and one tube.

I resumed brewing at the end of December. I made some errors. Wrong mashing schedules. I accidentally shot lubricating oil into a batch of beer because I used a pellet gun CO2 cartridge instead of one made for beverages. Little things went wrong, but I still have one beer from early this year which is very good. As I get caught up with new technology, things get better.

I have one recipe I’m not planning to brew again. It’s just not great. Other than that, I can’t find factory beer I like as much as my own. If I had to go back to factory beer, I’d go back to my old drinking habits, meaning around a 12-pack per year.

I’m having a stout right now. It’s hard to imagine how this beer could be better.

I was thinking I should brew a wheat ale tomorrow. I have a couple of batches of grain, including a wheat recipe, and I don’t have any wheat beer except for the really heavy one I made last week. Today I realized that if I brew beer tomorrow, my wife may well be here before it’s ready to drink.

Her embassy appointment is finally upon us. She could be here 10 days from now, depending on the breaks and whether she is serious about getting her hair done before she comes.

It’s very weird, being this close. I go to the store and buy things, and I find myself thinking she may be here to eat them.

We spend a tremendous amount of time on the phone together. That’s all about to end. What will we do with our time when we suddenly find ourselves with days that aren’t broken up by calls? We’ll save at least three hours per day, and we will have nearly nothing to do.

I have to face the reality of not living like a single man. I have to get a kitchen table that doesn’t fold up. I need two real dressers instead of the awful, enormous dresser my mother got at an outlet store in the Carolinas in the Seventies. I’ll have to move my $80 Chinese Amazon headboard to a bed in a guest room.

I have talked about buying her a business class ticket. I’m looking into it. She will probably have a flight running around 35 hours. Airlines don’t have much interest in Zambia, so she will have to have a minimum of two stops.

Personally, I am an economy guy. I believe I’ve flown first class twice. I recall my dad upgrading the two of us with his endless points. That happened once. I also recall sitting in a first class seat next to a drunk who was some kind of prisoner. He cried a lot. As I recall, he was a black man in a red suit.

I was probably in college. I don’t recall how I got into first class, and I have no idea why they chose me to sit next to a prisoner. I seem to recall him being handcuffed to an armrest. That can’t be right, can it? Maybe that’s how they did things back then.

I don’t recall having a cop anywhere near us.

If I’m going to spend thousands of dollars, I want something I can touch. A piece of jewelry. A new welding table. I don’t want to spend $200 an hour for a ticket upgrade so my butt can be slightly less sore the next day.

Let’s face it. While an upgrade may be nice for a short flight, there is no such thing as a nice long flight. Moving you to business class doesn’t help. I don’t care if they give you a stateroom with a bed. It’s still going to be a miserable experience. I’d rather have the money than the 10% decrease in suffering.

I brought up business class, however, and my wife liked the idea, so now I’m on the hook. I hope she enjoys it and takes pictures, because I don’t plan on buying any more business class tickets unless Elon Musk sees my blog and decides to send me one of his spare billions.

Finding my wife a business class ticket that costs less than a major operation is a challenge, mostly because everyone hates Africans. Flights that are low on the cost scale almost always involve self-transfers. That means she will have to get off the plane at least once, get her bags, go through customs and immigration, go through security again, and board. It’s not a big problem if you’re American, but if you’re African, many countries will force you to get a visa in order to walk across their airports and change planes.

It’s idiotic. Even if her brand-new green card will motivate a country to issue a visa, it will take forever to get the visa, so it’s not practical. I would have to pay her rent in Zambia the whole time, and then she might get turned down.

West Africans are the problem. Especially Nigerians. They go to other countries, refuse to leave, and start criminal enterprises.

I can’t route her through England. Forget that. Our best bet looks like Turkey. She might have to stop in Dubai on the way. She might have to land in two different African countries.

So what will we do when she gets here?

High on the list: White Castle. The family that owns the company sadistically refuses to expand in any meaningful way, but they opened a restaurant in Orlando. The biggest White Castle on Earth. We’ll be doing that.

Sonny’s. This is a Florida barbecue chain. Pretty good, even though Bidenflation now has them putting “Market Price” beside ribs on the menu.

She loves Italian food. There’s a really good place near me. Run by Mexicans. Go figure. It’s clean. The prices are reasonable. The food is great. The staff is polite.

I’ll have to get her a driver’s license ASAP, not to mention a carry permit. Permits are not required in Florida, but if she has one, she will be allowed to carry in other states. I already have a 9mm for her with a Crimson Trace.

After all this, the dentist. And we have to get medical insurance and a new phone plan for two.

We are not doing too bad for clothing and so on. We traveled to countries with good stores.

We need to get the pickup in shape so we will have two vehicles.

That’s all I can think of. I wanted to take her to Israel, but our timing has worked out poorly. There are no good winter destinations in the US.

Okay, maybe there are, but we have no interest in skiing or beaches, and we’re not going to places that look better with leaves on the trees.

I hope to have her out in the pasture shooting steel very soon. I can taste those sliders already.

Genocide Should be Harder Than This

Right now I’m thinking about Samantha Woll, the synagogue president who was murdered by an angry Muslim last week.

The police have no suspect, so why do I say a Muslim killed her?

1. Jewish victim
2. Killing occured while Muslims were calling for violence against Jews, after one of the filthiest attacks on Jews in history
3. Killed in Detroit, which has an enormous concentration of Muslims

It’s conceivable someone else did it. Maybe she has an ex-husband who thought this would be a good opportunity to kill her and blame Muslims. Probably not, though.

She was a leftist. Why do I say that?

1. Jewish
2. Female
3. Blue city
4. Blue state
5. Bigwig in a synagogue, though female. Not likely in a synagogue full of conservatives.

Also, I checked. She was a leftist activist. She used to be an aide for leftist Representative Elissa Slotkin. Go look at Slotkin’s website. It looks like Chuck Schumer programmed her.

Her synagogue is the last synagogue left in the city of Detroit, for good reason. I can see why other Jews fled. It’s basically kaput. It doesn’t even have sabbath meetings. The rabbi is a woman.

As blue as Michigan is these days, partly because Democrats and Muslims have realized they share so many progressive values, Michigan has some pretty good firearm laws. Better than Florida in some ways. Michigan allows open carry by default, and it’s a shall-issue state, so you don’t have to be a celebrity or prove you donate heavily to Democrat PAC’s in order to get a gun.

Somehow this lady was killed in her yard, with a knife.

A knife shouldn’t be underestimated. It can do a lot of gross things a gun can’t. Guns typically win in real-life encounters, though. They scare criminals, the noise attracts attention, they can do harm from greater distances, and so on.

Muslim terrorists overwhelmingly agree: women, the disabled, children, the elderly, and the weak are the best adversaries. Their principles bar them from attacking anyone who can fight back.

The odds this lady was armed are vanishingly small. Liberal Jews believe in waiting for the police. Criminals, on the other hand, believe in doing harm as quickly as possible and taking off while the police are still leaving the doughnut shop. It’s a good system.

She wasn’t armed. Her friends generally aren’t armed. American Jews are still crusading for unilateral disarmament. It’s an Islamist paradise. A stocked pond full of soft targets. The guy who killed her has no incentive to stop, and his pals have lots of incentive to follow his lead.

Here’s a question no one seems to be asking: given that most Jews will continue to support unilateral disarmament, what, exactly, are they proposing as a solution?

I haven’t seen a solution mentioned. Have you? I mean, sure…”Be vigilant.” Yeah, that will fix it. Because no one who is vigilant is ever attacked by terrorists. “Drop that axe! I can see you!”

I want to know what practical, effective solutions have been proposed. Because there aren’t any, other than buying guns. This is literally the only way for a targeted group to protect itself.

Community Center tae kwon do won’t do it. No martial art will do it. With my 10mm carry piece, I’d take on a young Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor, a Gracie to be named later, and the Butter Bean on PCP rather than join their side and give the gun to one of them.

I haven’t seen any police officials offering good advice to Jews, because they haven’t. What are they supposed to say? “Threaten to sue”?

Yesterday 150,000 people protested in London. They protested brutality and war crimes. They protested genocide. Perpetrated by…Israel. No joke.

That’s a big crowd. It proves a couple of things. 1. Letting Muslims immigrate by the hundreds of thousands is a really bad idea, and 2. people are much more antisemitic than is widely understood.

It is probably true that antisemitism has increased over the last 25 years, but here’s something that is definitely true: it was always here, and antisemites have been restrained only by the sense that they would face consequences for behaving badly.

Here is how a vicious crowd works. They will circle a victim and say mean things. Someone might throw an empty water bottle. Eventually, one of them finds a spine and throws a punch. The others look around, thinking, “Do I have permisssion now? Do I have numbers on my side?” Then everybody jumps in. The number or unfriendlies doesn’t increase after the punch is thrown. They were there already, waiting for permission from their peers.

If you can get 150,000 idiots to support genocide against Jews in the capital of London, how many idiots do you think we have here?

American blacks make up over an eighth of our population, and a huge percentage of them believe antisemitic conspiracy theories. These theories include the notion that blacks are the true Jews, and that Jews stole their inheritance. Many think Jews “ran” the slave trade.

Hispanics have always had rocky relations with Jews. There is also a small subset of ordinary white Americans who are also antisemitic. That subset is growing because young Americans are overwhelmingly leftist, and hatred of Israel is chic on the left. A lot of young Americans refuse to identify as liberal, but then their standards are so skewed, they can be pretty far out on the left and think they’re centrists.

It’s like America is a horse track, and the horses are held back only by the gate. When the gate opens, they will run.

I can’t imagine going to Detroit for any reason, but living there, being Jewish, being in charge of a synagogue, and not carrying a weapon…that borders on psychosis.

Most American Jews don’t feel they should take serious measures to protect themselves, but they have plenty of energy for gun control and disempowering their best friends: conservative Christians.

I don’t know what they’re going to do. Their old strategies won’t work here. They can’t give away land in America. No demon-possessed Muslim killer is going to agree to walk away if you give him your front yard.

I wonder how many English people were at the London protest. I mean ethnic English. Fact which is little-known in America: many ethnic British really hate Yeshua these days. It seems to be the majority attitude. They attack street preachers. The police arrest street preachers. The people curse them the way sane people curse pedophiles.

The further you get from Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, the more you will come to hate Jews and Christians.

The common English have really changed. Their language is foul, all the time. Their manners are beneath atrocious. When I was a kid, Americans thought of them as restrained people with good manners and refined speech. Not any more.

If there are 150,000 Londoners who are willing to march and be filmed, exposing themselves as haters of Israel, there must be millions of kindred souls in the UK who will come out of the woodwork when things get hot.

You know what they say about roaches. If you see one in the kitchen, there are dozens in the walls.

My prediction: Jews in the US will do very little to protect themselves, and they will pay the price. It’s already happening. Dumb political opinions are harder to cure than cancer.

What should people like me do? Should I put a couple of mobile homes on my property in case Jews need a refuge next year? If I did, admittance would be limited to those willing to carry guns. I wouldn’t put out bait for killers and then agree to try to protect myself and my wife without help from my guests.

Now Front Page has come out with a poll of American Muslims, and the conclusion is that 57% either strongly or somewhat approve of the Hamas butchery. I wonder what wonderful news tomorrow will bring.

Let’s Sit Down and Talk This Over

A reader suggested checking out Citizen Free Press, so I did. I used to read Drudge, but it turned into a bizarre anti-Trump site which seems to be run by RINO’s or cautious leftists who don’t want people to know Drudge retired.

Citizen Free Press comes up with a lot of useful information, as Drudge once did. Today it links to a story about American Jews who have decided to buy guns. The Holocaust never really ended, and Jews seem to be aware of it, but somehow most of them have no interest in protecting themselves, so it’s big news when they start buying guns.

Who, exactly, did they think would look out for them? Governments? Aren’t governments the entities that killed so many of them in the past? Perhaps I am ignorant of history, but as far as I know, relying on governments has done the Jews about as much good as it has American Indians. The damage done by private citizens throughout history is miniscule by comparison.

Pharaohs, Babylonians, Achaemenids, Greeks, Romans, Spaniards, the Portuguese…one government after another persecuted them. Haman was a government official who had the king’s support.

When the Nazis really got going, German war heroes protested. Jewish German war heroes. Loyal German citizens. I guess they could not believe serving in Germany’s wars didn’t entitle them to live. Their government gassed them anyway. There wasn’t much they could do to fight back.

Jews were instrumental in spreading socialism, but the USSR persecuted them just the same, even as they spread the worship of Karl Marx, an ethnic Jew.

The story quotes Simon, a 35-year-old Israeli-American:

Unfortunately for us Jews around the world, our security situation has worsened. Now is the time to arm myself and protect my family. So, I’ve decided to purchase my first firearm and undergo firearm, general situational awareness, and home defense training.

What?

“Now” is the time for him to arm himself and protect his family? Weren’t they worth protecting last year?

He’s buying his first firearm? So up until now, he chose helplessness. Why? What was he afraid of? Did he think owning a gun would cause him to join a gang and rob liquor stores? What, exactly, was the down side of owning a gun? There is none.

I wonder what percentage of Muslims who support Hamas have been reluctant to buy guns. It must be an agonizing decision for them.

I guess I shouldn’t talk. If memory serves, I bought my first pistol in 1991. I bought it in case I had to kill my sister’s junkie friends. She said she would send them to “take care of” me because I had helped my mother get her into rehab.

I already had a .22 rifle, and I had access to my parent’s guns, but I should have done better. I didn’t buy a real defensive rifle until maybe 2008, and it was set up for varminting, not home defense. It was an LR-308. Not the greatest choice in a home invasion.

On the other hand, I’m not a Jew, so no one is trying to exterminate me and my kind. Not yet.

I should have gotten an AK-47 as soon as I could own one legally. Pistols are second-rate defense guns. I should have gotten a carry license sooner instead of leaving my gun in my car.

I would think the events of the last century would have sufficed to convince Jewish people that owning, carrying, and hiding guns and ammunition were good ideas. I’ve known a lot of Jews, and I know that even though they are generally statists, they also see the government and their neighbors as potential enemies. That’s smart. If you know how things stand, why not govern yourself accordingly?

A Jewish friend of mine lost his dad to leukemia in about 1986, and he inherited hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash which had been sealed up in drywall in his living room. His dad didn’t do that because he sincerely trusted Uncle Sam. He wanted money no one could get at in a crisis.

Unfortunately, according to my friend, his brother and his dad’s lawyer stole the money. Interesting story. One day it was there, and the next, his brother and the lawyer claimed there had never been any money.

He filed a bar complaint against the lawyer, a man named Kaufman. I still remember. He said Kaufman called him when he found out, crying and begging him to withdraw the complaint. A little late.

There are really only two reasons to avoid having a gun close by. One is that you don’t trust everyone in your house to behave, and the other is that you’re afraid kids will manage to get at it. These dangers barely exist for responsible people. They can be negated. There comes a time when you have to admit the danger presented by your enemies is greater than the small risk someone in your household will misuse a gun.

The insanity and viciousness of the left are really fruiting now. Americans of Arab descent are protesting openly, cheering the terrorists on and making fun of Jewish tears. There is no helping most of these people. They are in the grip of spirits. Very few of them will ever come out of delusion and get to know the God who made Esau and Ishmael. Only the Holy Spirit saves people from delusion.

Don’t do Your Enemy’s Job for Him

If you want to read about a confusing news story, you came to the right place. I just saw a Politico article about Israeli terrorism victims who blame Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what happened to them and their neighbors during the Hamas atrocity. They were attacked on Nahal Oz, a kibbutz near the semi-fictional nation of Gaza.

Here is an excerpt:

“He [Netanyahu] needs to say: ‘I’m sorry, I failed you. It’s because of me and my pride, you were almost murdered,’” said Cherry, a 45-year-old Belgian-Israeli health economist.

Poterman and Cherry described how they shut themselves in safe rooms on the morning of the attack, and hunkered down for 12 hours, waiting for the Israel Defense Force to come to their rescue. Over those excruciating hours, rockets flew overhead and Hamas raided homes across the kibbutz shouting “Allahu Akbar” [God is greatest] and “Massacre the Jews.”

Poterman, who until last week worked as an after-school teacher, sent what he believed would be his last Facebook post from the safe room: “Half an hour, we are locked up with terrorists at home, no one comes.”

The 40-year-old said he sent the message as he stood next to the safe room door holding an ax, while his wife Maria held their seven-month-old baby girl in one hand and a knife in the other. Neither of them expected to survive, but a latch installed on the inside of the door by a previous tenant prevented the terrorists from bursting in.

In a separate safe room, Cherry, her husband Oren and their three children barricaded the door as best they could with a cupboard and chair.

The man who sent the message boxed himself up in a laughable “safe room” or “mammad.” This is a ridiculous structure intended to protect Jews from danger. Every new building in Israel has to have a mammad on every floor. It worked for this man and his family, but mammads failed for many others because breaking into a room isn’t that hard. Getting someone to open a mammad isn’t hard when you have hostages outside.

There is a lot of hype about mammads having thick concrete walls and steel doors. Sounds great, but not a problem for a terrorist with explosives. Also, older mammads don’t always have oxygen supplies, and incredibly, they have not all been retrofitted.

Bottom line: people in mammads died during the invasion. Some from suffocation. Some by being dragged out and killed.

A mammad is better than nothing, sometimes, and they protect people from missile shrapnel, which is what they’re really designed for. Having a mammad sounds like a great idea for people anticipating missile strikes. But against armed assailants, rifles are way better.

The man quoted in the article obviously knew disarmament was a big mistake, because he made a pathetic effort to gather arms. He tried to protect his family from machine guns with a knife and an axe. Words fail me.

If you’re all for arming yourself when people come to kill you, and you have proven you are, why were you against it before they showed up? You knew they were coming eventually.

The mindset of the victims is extremely disheartening. “The government was supposed to come save us.” They are Europeans by birth, and of course, they are Jewish, so small wonder they thought the god-state was their salvation.

Here in America, we have a saying: “When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.” It’s not unnuanced flyover populist tripe. It’s indisputable wisdom. The underlying truth is that the government is not able to respond to threats sufficiently quickly to protect people. It’s not even required to, under the law. Typically, the cops show up when the party is over, like roadies cleaning up a stage after a Grateful Dead concert.

It’s nothing less than astounding that there are adult human beings who can’t figure this out. And how can such people exist, in a country where terrorist attacks and surprise wars are certain to occur?

Israelis died because they trusted their government to do things only a god could do, and because their tragic biases led them to vote for laws that made them sheep for the slaughter.

Safe rooms. Really? Even if they worked reliably, how do they help when criminals are closer to them than their victims? How well do they work for people with wheelchairs and walkers? What good is your safe room when you’re on a bus or a tractor?

What percentage of the day does a typical Israeli spend very close to the door of a safe room?

Here’s what will happen if I think criminals are on my property. First, grab a high-capacity rifle and at least two magazines. I will already have a pistol with a laser in my pocket. If I have time, I will call the police, primarily because they might arrive on time to shoot, protecting me from liability. Next, I’ll pick the best defensive location I can, and I’ll wait as long as I can before doing my best to send my guests’ guts, skull fragments, and brain tissue flying onto the walls and floor.

All but the most determined or high attackers will be cowardly and lightly armed, so the odds they’ll run off are overwhelming. If they don’t, I’ll probably be much better armed than they are, and I’ll be able to rain lead on them for quite a while. If I manage to grab additional ammo, which is likely, I’ll still have hundreds of rounds handy when they’re down to one or two.

I will not lock myself in a ludicrous room and hope the criminals don’t have time to use an angle grinder or burn me out.

Who would you rather attack? Me, or an unarmed leftist kibbutznik?

As for attacks outside the home, I can put an AK-47 and a hundred pounds of cartridges in my car if I feel like it. Not in the trunk. Not unloaded. Beside me in the passenger seat in a bag I can open with one hand. And then there’s my carry pistol. I can take it nearly everywhere. Even banks.

It is astonishing that Israeli homes and business are soft targets. Who thought that was a smart idea? Was there a meeting where a bunch of Jewish politicians trying to come up with a homeland defense plan put “gun control” on a list on a whiteboard?

The victim named Poterman says he waited 12 hours for messiah government to come save him. Think what he and his friends could have done in one hour with rifles. You can Google and find out what other armed victims managed to do. Arabs are not known for their prowess as warriors. Much the opposite. They do poorly against resistance.

Israelis should be armed, and they should carry. They should be required to carry, like off-duty policemen in America. They should also be encouraged to keep automatic rifles and lots of cartridges. The government should allot money to buying them night vision gear. They should be building pillboxes, like the Nazis who defended the French coast and the Japanese who slaughtered Allied marines.

Go on the web and watch self-defense shootings. You’ll see that successful defenders sometimes produce and fire weapons in under two seconds. It is not unusual for a person to need to shoot in an extremely short time. A person who carries a gun has the ability to respond extremely quickly to danger, and he can do it wherever he is. Think how different the music festival would have been had the paragliding baboons descended into a crowd with hundreds of pistols, with rifles in their vehicles. A lot of the attackers would have died in the air.

The government may have failed to do things it should have done in order to detect or prevent this attack. Fine. Maybe Netanyahu needs to do better. But the people also failed themselves. They need to realize the government is never going to be able to prevent every attack or respond adequately. This should be obvious.

If you want to be safe from murderers, you should do your best. Disarming yourself is not your best. When you disarm yourself, you’re doing the first thing your enemies would put on their dream list of goals.

Israelis haven’t learned from their own history. In the book of Nehemiah, the Jews were surrounded by the ancestors of people who are trying to exterminate them now. As the Jews rebuilt the temple, the people who carried materials were required to hold the materials in one hand and a weapon in the other. The ones doing the buiding had to wear swords on their hips. Open carry was the rule in the past, but today a select few get a crummy 9mm pistol and 50 rounds of weak ammunition, and the rest get nothing.

Hamas was not afraid at all of Israeli civilians, but their cowardly assassins would never dream of attacking rural Florida or Tennessee. Terrorist bodies would fill dumpsters. Shouldn’t they be more afraid of Israelis than anyone?

Leftism is a luxury delusion that comes at a very high price. I don’t know what it will take to get Israelis to let go of it. I doubt they’ll do what they have to do. I think that if sane gun policies were in Israel’s future, Zechariah 14, which is certain to happen, would look very different.

My Phone is Now Antisemitic

Written on October 19.

I have an Android phone, and I do not use the browser it came with. I have never used it until today. I didn’t actually use it; it sent me some garbage I never asked for. It decided to put an AP story in a notification I never agreed to permit.

I’ll post a screen capture.

This is outrageous. Why am I receiving anti-Israel filth I never told anyone to send me? I’m not supposed to receive ANY notifications. I didn’t even know they existed, and I’ve had this phone for months.

Someone in the tech/government complex signed me up. Someone with a hair color not found in nature.

The headlines deliver a pretty clear message: “You should sympathize with supporters of terrorists because Israel is bombing their ‘country’ in order to kill terrorists the people help hide. Israel is dishonest because it bombs areas it previously called ‘safe’.”

This is not journalism. It’s propaganda. Propaganda spam, from a company I bought a product from. What kind of morons is Samsung hiring?

Here’s a lesson for people who are truly so stupid they don’t understand how war works.

1. Collateral damage: what happens when you do your best to strike a legitimate military target while sparing noncombatants, and you harm noncombatants accidentally.

2. Atrocity: walking into a baby’s nursery and slicing his head off with a sheath knife while he screams and thrashes.

There is zero moral equivalence here, and you know it. If you hate Jews, just admit it. Don’t be a liar as well as a genocidal bigot.

The terrorists carried torture manuals with them when they invaded Israel.

Ordinarily, torture is intended to advance a political or military goal. Waterboarding, for example, was done by desperate, fearful nations in order to prevent nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks by Muslims. In the case of the Hamas raids, the purpose of the torture was recreational. Terrorists who were busy were not supposed to take time to torture people. Those who had more time were encouraged to torture Jews prior to killing them, and Hamas gave them a book to help them do it well. The purpose was to make the invasion more fun for the baboons who perpetrated it.

Israel does wrong from time to time because its enemies place it in very difficult situations with constant, unnecessary existential threats, but Hamas is in the terrorism and atrocity business, full time.

As for pitying the Palestinians, what is the rationale? When I see videos of feral teenagers destroying stores and hurting people in blue cities, I have no sympathy whatsoever, because the people in those cities voted for their own destruction over and over. They got what they fought for. I don’t care if Chicago or San Francisco is a pile of ashes this time next year, because it’s unhealthy to torment yourself over the self-inflicted problems of incorrigible people. I can’t fix it. I didn’t cause it. I’m not going to give myself stress over it.

If I can’t pity leftists in American cities, how can I pity Palestinians who gave terrorists a mandate?

Hamas got 57% of the vote in the last election in Gaza. It’s not like a minority regime took control by force. Palestinians knew exactly what they were voting for, and they got a majority the likes of which we generally do not see in our own presidential elections. They’re getting exactly what they voted for. They knew Hamas would stage large-scale terrorist attacks on Israel, and unless they’re stupid, they knew bombs would then fall on Gaza. They knew they were placing the Israelis in a position where they had to choose between extremely harsh military action and permitting and encouraging further atrocities against their own people. As people like to say on the web these days, the Palestinians found out. That’s on them. On the civilians.

As always, however, to the press, Israel is the problem. Just like Israel is the problem when terrorists blow up their own hospital.

The spirit of antichrist is becoming more transparent, to use a word Biden used insincerely about his administration. The spirit of antichrist has a body of people it uses against Jews and real Christians, and it’s helping its slaves come out of the closet. Not just Palestinians. The Antichrist has drones everywhere, especially among American leftists.

If you read the news, you must know that two male college professors who think they’re women have just drawn attention for going after Israel on social media. One called Israelis “irredeemable excrement” and “pigs,” and the other man said they should fear “us,” and he put up emojis of a cleaver, an axe, and drops of blood. So far, no outrage from the universities’ administrations.

Donald Trump is being tried because his efforts to stop a riot didn’t satisfy leftists. The idea is that an insufficient response is the same thing as incitement. If that’s true, what about a professor who encourages the slaughter of Jews with edged weapons in front of the entire world? Is that kind of speech legal?

Federal case law says speech can be censored when it incites violence. The Supreme Court failed to add something, though. They failed to point out that this only applies to conservatives. Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters incited a murder and riots and got in no trouble whatsoever.

You can disagree with Israel on certain points without being antisemitic. You can’t call all Israelis “irredeemable excrement” or threaten them with cleavers and axes unless you have a problem with Jews per se.

Antisemitism is cool now. That’s amazing.

The spirit of antichrist uses the flesh’s herd instinct against human beings. Only a few people out of a thousand do what they think is right. The rest look to the right and left to see what the imbeciles around them are doing, and they follow suit. This is how you get orderly, civilized Germans and Austrians to herd people into gas chambers.

“Cool” is a word that became popular about 60 years ago. Whatever you may think it means, it really means, “tending to evoke admiration and approval from others.” Coolness is sick. It’s pathological. Most people can be manipulated into doing nearly anything by the admiration and approval of others.

One of the most socially debilitating problems you can have is to be declared uncool. You become an object of ridicule. Nothing you say is taken seriously, simply because you’re the one who said it. You lose friends. You can lose your family. Cancellation.

Thanks to the Internet and things like Tiktok, we now have a world in which the promise of approval or disapproval is more strongly motivating than ever before. A complete pinhead with a million followers can get people to do things a monkey is too smart to do. Kids all over America have deliberately eaten laundry detergent in order to be admired.

This is one of the tools the spirit of antichrist is using to move the apocalypse along. “Agree, or live under a blanket of contempt and rejection.” People are being herded like pigs or sheep. They don’t think. They listen to their base drives to be admired and accepted. Because they don’t think, they do things that are clearly stupid and evil.

License. They have license from the mob, and it was handed down initially from the mob’s leader. The false shepherd. Satan.

Coolness belongs to the left. You can’t become cool by having a successful show on Fox News. Who are the coolest people? The biggest fools on the planet. Whore rappers. Spoiled athletes. Drug-addict actors who can’t work a crossword puzzle. By and large, leftists.

The antichrist’s zombies are freed from the heavy burden of reason. From the bonds of righteousness. “Righteous” simply means “correct.” “Righteousness” literally means “rightness.” People who don’t reason are unrighteous, because correctness comes from reasoning, and the righteous are their natural enemies.

Virtually no one on Earth has any idea what the spirit of antichrist is or how it works. I’ve never seen anyone but myself describe the way it uses approval and admiration to herd idiots to persecute their betters and destroy themselves.

The ignorance is amazing, and it is destroying billions. As God said once, his people were destroyed for lack of knowledge. It still happens.

Knowledge comes only from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and you have to spend time with him, praying in tongues and so on. No Holy Spirit, no revealed knowledge. No revealed knowledge, no protection from destruction. If you are ignorant, you will be destroyed, and you will do most of the destruction.

Virtually everything I saw coming years ago is coming true now, and I predicted it would get worse, so you can expect that to come true, too.

It amazes me that my phone is being used to send me blatant antichrist propaganda without my prior consent. I wonder what’s next. Gradually, or not so gradually, we will have to cede more and more of our will, our privacy, and our dignity in order to be tolerated. Already, people have been fired for refusing to call male perverts women. Preachers in Western nations have been arrested for committing the crime of criticizing perversion. We’re being told we have to pay “reparations” to people we never harmed. Kids who want to play sports are ostracized for refusing to kneel and endorse a racist, Marxist, pro-perversion, anti-Christian, city-burning terrorist organization founded by three witches.

The mark is just one more straw on the camel’s back. When it comes, you’ll have to beg or grow your own food. You won’t be able to use stores or buy things online. Cancellation will be perfected.

Fortunately, the Bible says it won’t come until the beast is revealed. That happens in the middle of the tribulation, which hasn’t started.

You probably don’t realize how bad things are, because you’ve gotten used to it. I wish I could go back to 2000, bring my then-self to the present, and show him what’s happening. I would love to see what he said.

Hamas Should Send The Knesset a Fruit Basket

I have been reading about the Israeli government’s sorry response to the problem of unarmed citizens being murdered by imbeciles from Gaza.

I lived in Israel for 4 months, and back then, guns were everywhere, mainly in the hands of the omnipresent soldiers. I saw soldiers with M16’s on buses and city streets. I also knew a kibbutznik who had a rifle for hunting, and I was with him when he took it to an almond grove. I can’t find information on the history of Israel’s gun laws, but I know that prior to the Gaza ambush, it was very hard for Israelis to get guns. At best, you could get one pistol (pathetic) and 50 rounds of ammunition (enough to last a few minutes at best).

This, in a country where nearly everyone is forced to join the military for two years. It is no exaggeration to say Israel chooses not to trust millions of trained, patriotic soldiers with guns.

Now government officials are saying Israel must arm its citizens. It’s making some piddling, ineffective corrections that come too late and do way too little.

Israeli Jews are not the type of people who use guns to commit crime. The risk of a gun-fueled crime wave is not small; it’s imaginary.

I admit, there was a time when thousands of Jews committed very serious gun crimes in Israel. They gathered and stored illegal firearms under the British, and when independence came, and the Arabs made their predictable effort to exterminate Jews, the guns and other weapons came in pretty handy.

The predecessors of the government of Israel thought it was smart for Jews to hoard guns in their homes, in case of Arab attacks. When did they decide helplessness was better?

Did Israel turn its citizens into Hamas practice targets because it was afraid of ordinary crime, or was the government trying to prevent extremist nuts from mounting insurrections? I don’t know. I haven’t been able to find out by Googling. I do know a huge segment of Israel’s population is made up of Jews from Europe and America, and Western Jews love leftism and gun control. Jews always commit political suicide whenever possible. Give them enough rope, and they will give it to their enemies.

If Israel wanted to prevent deaths from gun crimes, it has failed catastrophically. More people just died from gun crimes committed by Arabs than would have died had every law-abiding adult Israeli been allowed to carry a loaded M16 this year. And Israel encouraged the murderers to attack by disarming the victims. Would Hamas have attacked an armed populace? It’s a valid question.

It looks like the leftist tech establishment is suppressing stories about Israelis who fought off terrorists, but they are out there. And you can find videos of the police slaughtering terrorists with pistols, which is remarkable. It shows how little good a rifle does an untrained coward.

It would be tough for an enemy like Hamas to invade rural America, at least in the areas where Trump got a lot of votes. Not only are rifles everywhere, including in vehicles, but there are many, many people who are trained to kill animals and/or people a long way off. Over the last decade or so, precision rifle shooting has taken off. I’m part of it. I went to a facility where I hit a man-sized target well over half a mile away. Thermal scopes are also popular, so a lot of men in America have the ability to kill underarmed assailants in the dead of night from hundreds of yards away. What works on wild hogs works on terrorists.

It’s bizarre that I, a fairly unskilled person who has never been a policeman or soldier, have the ability to kill more terrorists than the entire population of a typical kibbutz full of soldiers. If you’re a terrorist, you are literally better off attacking 2000 trained Israelis than you are approaching my house.

As for a Biblical perspective, the rapes and the murders of children and babies made me think of prophecy. I thought these things were predicted by Isaiah, but it turned out Zechariah was the prophet who spoke about what is happening now:

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Hosea also spoke about the fruit of rebellion:

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

I am not going to study the word all day to figure out whether Hosea was talking about the present day, but it’s pretty obvious Zechariah was, because he said his predictions would come to pass at the end. Hosea serves to point out the kinds of things that happen when Israel is detached from God and connected to idols, including the idol of self-confidence. Infants dismembered. People killed.

What Zechariah said about all nations being gathered against Jerusalem is clearly coming true. All over the world, Muslims and leftists have formed a bizarre coalition, and thousands, not dozens, of people are protesting Israel, the victim. It shows that antisemitism has increased greatly. There are millions of people out there who are just waiting to be allowed to do what they want to the Jews. A lot of them are in Jewish sanctuaries like New York.

Why did America ever start allowing Muslims to become residents? It’s amazing how stupid this country was. We now have entire communities where people who support Israel aren’t safe. And the rest of us are on the same list.

In Sydney, Australia, Jews have been warned to stay indoors in order to be safe from Muslims. Not in Syria or Iran, but Australia!

In the US, BLM has come out against Israel, exposing some of the all-too-common antisemitism among American blacks. We don’t call minorities out on their wickedness; just Caucasians. It’s too bad, because America is full of blacks who literally believe they are the real Jews. They think the Jews stole their inheritance. Hispanics also have issues with Jews. Small wonder. Look what their ancestors did.

I saw addled leftist Jake Tapper expressing surprise to see how many leftists were raging against Israel and the Jews. What a fool! For at least a quarter of a century, it has been obvious to anyone who can see that conservative Christians are the only American friends Jews have. The antisemitism of the left has been on display for ages, as has the support of the right, but people like Tapper are somehow unable to summon the honesty and integrity to acknowledge what has been right in front of them since before the turn of the century!

If American conservatives stopped supporting Israel tomorrow, the Muslim world would descend on Israel a month later. Leftists would celebrate, and only God himself could defeat the invaders.

God has done miraculous things to rebuild Israel, but as long as most Jews reject their true Messiah and the Holy Spirit, they will have much less protection than they need. Zechariah says God will eventually fight the nations that are against Israel, but only after a lot of damage has been done.

Some Jews are saying this feels like the Holocaust. Yes, it is like the Holocaust. It is the Holocaust. The Holocaust never ended.

The Old Testament is full of proof that Israel is on top when it pleases God and on the bottom when it doesn’t. Israel is surviving, but it’s still not on top, so even Jewish sages who hate Yeshua should be wondering what’s wrong.

My wife and I pray for Israel and the Jews every day. We don’t just ask God to open the eyes of the Jews. We pray for protection and abundance. Lately we have been cursing their enemies. We pray for their arms to malfunction. We ask God to cause the weapons to harm the enemy, not the Jews. We ask him to make Israel’s enemies fight each other, and we don’t limit it to those in the Middle East. We call on him to expose their filthiness.

We also pray for God to rescue Israel’s enemies from Islam.

Apart from prayer and blessing and cursing, though, we are just spectators. It’s too bad we can’t do more. We can’t go over and fight. We’re already buying weapons through our tax dollars. I vote for candidates who support the Jews.

There are ministries that help Jews. Jewish Voice is one.

If you’re a Jew, get yourself some rifles while you still can. You should really try to get in touch with Yeshua, because he’s much better than a rifle, especially in the afterlife. But rifles are better than nothing in the short term.

If you’re in a state where you can’t have semiautomatic weapons with large detachable magazines, get out, and take your children. If you can’t help your family when the murderers come for you, and you had a way out, how will you be able to excuse yourself?

This is How You Get Your 72 Virgins

So Israel is at war again, and as always, it was the other side’s idea. The idiots of Hamas say they have fired 5,000 rockets into Israel, and they crossed in, killed people, and took hostages, including small children. Of course, they fired at non-military targets because attacking actual soldiers or anyone who might fight back would be a violation of policy.

As one would expect, there are slimy, ignorant, bigoted people on the left, claiming Israel deserves it. We have a vile Congresswoman named Tlaib, an Arab Muslim, who refuses to comment. Based on her past, it’s pretty obvious she sides with the terrorists.

Here is a screen shot of Orthodox Jews celebrating victory over a Palestinian combatant.

Oh, wait. Sorry. That’s a shot of Arab terrorists celebrating shooting an unarmed civilian woman in the head. They removed her outer clothing, because it was obviously necessary, and drove the body around, and other Arab Muslims spat on it. The video shows these proud Muslim warrior men playing with the body.

It looks like they snapped her knee to get her into their vehicle.

If you watch the video, you may breathe a sigh of relief, thinking Muslim culture is not lost, because the crowd is so appalled by the spectacle.

NO. You will see that everyone there is thrilled with what’s happening. Could this happen in a Jewish city if the tables were turned? Don’t even ask. Palestinians are not just regular people with a set of gripes. Compared to people in most countries, they are savages.

To anyone who is dumb or dishonest enough to equate Israel’s defense efforts to the habitual cowardice and cruelty of Arab Muslim soldiers and terrorists, I have to say this: when have Jews ever done anything like this? Arabs do it all the time. It’s nothing like the civilial collateral damage Israel sometimes inflicts unintentionally. It’s policy. Arab Muslims PLAN to do this, just as Israeli soldiers plan legitimate attacks on military and terrorist targets.

Imagine watching a video of US Army recruits in boot camp, training to go into houses, capture women and children, commit rape, kill some of the victims, and haul the rest off for imprisonment and torture. It’s unthinkable. But if Hamas and many other Arab organizations trained recruits for their actual missions, this is what it would look like.

This is the difference between human beings and talking baboons. Anyone who supports this kind of behavior is a baboon, not a person.

I guess people who read the news know the lady in the photo is a gentile, not a Jew. She was a German tourist. I’m sure she told the terrorists before they executed her. They shot her anyway. Imagine Israelis invading an enemy city and shooting foreign tourists in the head. It could never happen.

This kind of behavior is unusual even in battles between corrupt nations like Russian and Ukraine. It’s comparable to things the Japanese did in the last century.

This must be a consequence of Islam. The Koran is full of barbarism. Mohammed was a murderer, pedophile, and rapist who taught Muslims to form gangs of thieves and pillage their neighbors’ cities. This is his legacy.

Anyway, yes, Israel is better than its enemies.

Better.

There are people calling for Israel to cease hostilities, as though this were a normal war instead of a response to terrorism. I disagree. Go in there and level enough of Gaza to put the fear of God into them. Make life so miserable, the people will resent the terrorists and fight them from within. Make the terrorists so afraid they will think twice before doing this again. They’re cowards who only know how to fight unarmed civilians, so it shouldn’t be hard to scare them.

As for the government of Israel, fine job on gun control. Do you really trust your Jewish citizens less than you fear your sociopath neighbors? I’m a nice, law-abiding American, but if I saw terrorists coming across my property, I could fill my yard with bodies for hours, and I’m sure my neighbors could do the same. There is a reason it’s taking so long for leftist mob terrorism to move from blue cities to red counties.

In Israel, a citizen can have one pistol and 50 cartridges. First, he needs a license, and he has to show a special need. Isn’t being Jewish in a tiny Jewish state surrounding by terrorists a special need?

It’s amazing rifles aren’t allowed. They should be required. In the real world, a typical person will be lucky to hit an attacker once if he empties two pistol magazines. It’s very, very hard to aim pistols in actual attacks. A rifle is very different. Rifleman Kyle Rittenhouse hit everyone he aimed at, and part of the time, he was on the ground being beaten by a lynch mob. Also, a rifle round will do much more damage, as the maimed criminal who surived the shooting could tell you. He only has one bicep.

Any law-abiding Israeli should be allowed to have a semiautomatic rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and many, if not all, should be allowed to have automatic weapons. As it is, Israel just waits for people to be murdered and then responds after the fact.

I’ve driven to church and back with a rifle and more than 50 cartridges on hand, but an Israeli on an isolated kibbutz has to depend on a pistol and one box of 9mm ammo, if he can get a gun at all. Do they stockpile illegal weapons under their own government, as they did under the British? Yes, if they’re smart.

I wonder what kind of gun and ammo restrictions the terrorists put on their teams.

Jews aren’t going to use guns to rob people. They’re not going to form gangs. They’re extremely unlikely to use guns in domestic abuse episodes. They have zero interest in overthrowing their government. I think gun control in Israel simply stems from suicidal Jewish leftism. American and European Jews make up over a third of the population, and these groups are hopelessly mired in leftism.

It’s like Israelis have forgotten what happened to unarmed Jews in Europe. And the harm wasn’t just done by their own governments and Nazi invaders. Their neighbors joined in. When the Nazis rolled into countries, antisemites saw it as a license to do what they had always wanted. For example, in the death camps, Ukrainian guards were feared much more than the Germans. I knew an Austrian Jew who had to hide in France as a girl, and she told me the French were much worse than the Austrians. The other kids held her down and pushed a thumbtack into her forehead to see if a Jew could bleed.

Pistols. Why does anyone rely on them? Too many movies, I guess. Some socialist Hollywood clown in lifted cowboy boots shoots a nickel out of the air at a hundred yards with a crude 1800’s revolver, with help from special effects, and people think that’s what pistol shooting is really like. They’re like the people who think coconuts are small and round because they watched Gilligan’s Island.

I carry a knife because it’s legally safer to draw a knife than a pistol, and also because everyone needs a knife. There are special penalties for brandishing a gun. I carry a pistol because a knife won’t always deter an attacker. Ideally, I’d go everywhere with a rifle in a sling. Maybe DeSantis will make it possible some day. I guarantee you, if it were legal, there would be several people in every local grocery with rifles right now, and shoplifters would be very nervous.

A pistol drills small, narrow tunnels in people. A rifle will tear them up and even blow out large chunks of them. When the criminal who ran up to Kyle Rittenhouse with an illegal pistol was shot, a large percentage of his bicep ended up scattered on the pavement. It wasn’t like TV, where a 5.56 round hits Magnum in the shoulder, he makes a bandage from a strip of his shirt, and then he uses the arm to punch out the villain and hug the girl.

I don’t understand why Hamas attacked, although they were probably encouraged by the huge cash gift Joe Biden gave their sponsor, Iran. They know they’re going to be crushed. Then the leftist gaslighters will chime in as Israel sends in bulldozers to build up the necessary buffer zone.

I don’t know why I write about this. No one who hates Jews will read this and come around.

Shouldn’t we Run TOWARD the Light?

Seems like I am constantly reminded that I can’t trust anyone who claims to represent God.

Years ago, when I was an armorbearer at Miami’s Trinity Church, inadvertently helping “pastor” Rich Wilkerson and his son, Rich Wilkerson Junior, in their efforts to con the poor out of what little money they had, a man named Bill Wiese came to speak at the church.

Wiese wrote the book 23 minutes in Hell. He says God took his conscousness out of his body and put it in hell so he would be able to come back and warn other people.

Wiese was a pleasant, soft-spoken, sincere-sounding guest. He didn’t clamor for money or promise people God would make them rich if they gave him offerings instead of paying their electric bills. In this respect, he was unlike the Wilkersons.

I read his book, and the story seemed plausible to me. It appeared to be consistent with scripture as well as the things God had revealed to me. I figured the story was probably true.

He has a Youtube channel, and he has put up a lot of material my wife and I have concluded was helpful. I subscribe to his channel.

A while back, though, after he refused to answer a question I asked him, I started to wonder about him. Yes, he seems sincere, but then he’s a professional salesman. Before he wrote the book, he sold real estate for a living, and I believe he still does. The best salesmen are the ones who can convince you they’re pure and meek, regardless of what’s going on inside them. I’m not Jesus. I can be fooled. The fact that a man seems innocent and guileless to me doesn’t mean much. Wiese seems earnest and humble, but who knows what’s really in his heart?

He does not respond to comments on his Youtube channel, but he encourages people to submit them on his website. I had a question, so I submitted it.

In his book, he says hell is filled with the sound of screaming and crying. That makes sense to me. He also says there is so little air in hell, you have to gasp for every breath.

It occurred to me that it would be hard to scream continuously if I couldn’t breathe, so I submitted the obvious question.

I wasn’t trying to catch him in a lie. I thought maybe he had some kind of explanation. I can think of one myself, but I’m not going to mention it here and give people ideas.

Months have passed, and neither Wiese nor his wife have responded.

It’s a very reasonable question, and if he’s a truthful person, he should be eager to answer it. I would if I had been to hell. I would thank the person who asked it, because I would realize other people might doubt my true story if I didn’t explain.

So that looks bad.

He’s not Ryan Reynolds or Taylor Swift. He’s not a big celebrity. He doesn’t have a huge following, so I know he’s not inundated with questions. He or his team saw my question, and they chose to ignore it. Either that, or they ask for questions but don’t look at them.

He recently put up a video asking people what their lives say about them. In the video, he criticized people who criticize preachers, suggesting it’s a bad thing to do.

Naturally, I had to comment.

If you took the New Testament and removed the parts where the writers and Jesus criticized religious authorities, you would end up with a pamphlet. I exaggerate, but Jesus went after them many, many times. So did Paul, naming names. Jude went after them. I’m sure other authors laid into them, but I can’t remember the entire New Testament in order to name passages.

What about the Old Testament?

The prophets criticized priests, prophets, and kings, in addition to other people. This is why the Jews killed so many of the prophets. Eli was the high priest, and his sons were priests, and God sent a prophet to tell Eli God was going to cause them to die.

What would Bill Wiese have thought of that prophet? Would he have shamed him in a Youtube video?

The idea that it’s bad to criticize preachers is not found in the Bible anywhere. In fact, it’s extremely important to vet them. We are taught to test the spirits.

It’s extremely important to rip dishonest preachers PUBLICLY, before as many people as possible. Lying is different from other sins. You don’t have to expose a murderer or a burglar who did bad deeds in the past, but a liar has to be exposed, because if he isn’t, his lies will continue to hurt people.

In my comment, I named prosperity preachers who destroyed countless lives, and I gave my testimony. I said I had criticized them openly by name on the web and, instead of being cursed, I received lots of money I didn’t work for, a wife, a wonderful farm, and good Christian friends. I don’t have to work.

If you read my blog, you’ve read the story already. Preachers turned on me. People told me I was going to get it for touching God’s anointed. Meanwhile, my blessings did nothing but increase. And my last pastor, Alberto Lee Santiago, who denounced me and told people to shun me, went to prison for molesting a little girl, beginning when she was 6. While he was awaiting sentencing, his abusive wife, who also hated me, died from a brain tumor. His church vanished. His son is a job-allergic atheist who promotes drugs and posts blasphemy on the web.

Rich Wilkerson has artificial knees, terrible back problems, kidney stones that require lithotripsy, some kind of weird stones that grow in his chest, a rare blood disorder that requires regular draining, and diabetes. His church is going nowhere. He has had a problem with the young men in his inner circle running through the local girls. His megachurch pals rake in the dough and write bestsellers, but his Youtube videos never seem to break 300 views, his church can’t pay its mortgage, and no one knows who he is.

If what happened to me is punishment, perhaps I need to look the word up. If the “anointed” ones who denounced me are blessed, I need to look that word up, too.

Today my wife tried to look up my comment, and she could not see it. Wiese or his wife, or someone on their team, had muted it.

Muting is a sneaky tactic. You fix a person’s comment so he can still see it, but no one else can. It’s dishonest. It’s like the social media dirty trick known as shadow banning. You think you still have a voice, but it goes nowhere.

It’s a slimy thing for a preacher to do, especially to a person who is giving his honest testimony.

So, if Bill Wiese would do this, what other dishonest things has he done? Did he make up his hell story?

The web says he sold a million copies of his book, so that means he made at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. He speaks at big churches that take offerings. He speaks at prosperity churches, and they commonly make deals with speakers, dividing up the spoils of collection. Is Wiese bringing home bundles of tax-free cash? Could be. He may have made himself rich with his story.

I don’t know the answer. Maybe he pays his own expenses when he speaks, and he doesn’t accept offerings. I do know that muzzling other Christians who provide honest testimony is not something you would expect an honest person to do. It’s disgraceful. My wife thought it seemed crooked, just as I did.

I won’t accuse anyone of lying without proof, but he did mute my comment. That’s a fact, and it’s hard to imagine a good excuse for it. It’s hard to imagine a legitimate reason, but other possible reasons are obvious.

Christians should not run from the light. You know who runs from the light? Cockroaches. It’s not a good sign, and when people see you doing it, they suspect the worst.

I hope he has some kind of explanation, but I don’t think I’ll ever find out. I am presenting my story here so other people can pray and judge. It would be great to find out there is some explanation that absolves him.

So Much for European Enlightenment

Got some pretty interesting news this week.

First of all, my wife’s final embassy interview was postponed 10 days. No explanation given. We got the news earlier this week. Today, the embassy’s Facebook page (which, incredibly, exists) said 10 embassy employees had been fired for corruption.

Postponement explained.

My hope, of course, is that they fired people who were likely to DELAY issuance of visas. I hope they kept the ones who rubber-stamp everything.

The second bit of news is that the Europeans have denied her a visa again.

We were trying the Czech Republic. They respond to requests pretty quickly, and they seemed to have a relatively positive attitude toward Africans. For example, the Czechs have a scholarship program that brings Zambians to Czechia to study. We told them we would go to Prague and then Rome.

We weren’t all that excited about visiting Eastern Europe in November, but we knew a Schengen visa would get us into Italy as well as Czechia, so we were willing to take the bad with the good. Actually, I was hoping to change our travel plans after we arrived and cut our Czech time to three days. Once you’re in Europe, they can’t do anything to make you go where you said you would. Nobody needs to spend a whole week in the Czech Republic.

Today we found out we were rejected. They had a ton of documentation proving my wife was not going to stay there illegally and clean toilets for a living, but they didn’t care. We showed them she was about to be cleared to move to the US. We proved assets way beyond what was needed to pay for the trip. We showed them we had already paid for accommodations and tours. We gave them our original marriage certificate, which, bizarrely, they required. Didn’t matter.

So what’s the explanation? Prejudice is the only plausible answer. They just don’t want Africans. They don’t trust them. Maybe they let a few students in, to take study positions where they can be closely monitored, but forget visiting as a tourist. They don’t care how obvious it is that you won’t be a problem. They don’t want to look at the facts.

They put her application in a pile or threw it out, and they waited for her to come back for an answer. Then, without looking her documents over, they told her to take a hike.

The good news is that I’m glad, because this means she will be her sooner, and we will avoid spending a huge amount of money on a trip to a third-rate destination in bad weather. They did me a big favor. Now I don’t have to go to Prague.

I’m sure Czechia is nice, and Prague may be the most beautiful large city on Earth, but it’s a historical and cultural backwater compared to places like Paris and Rome, and these days, it is jam-packed with tourists, even in winter. Tourists are thicker than TBN preachers in hell.

Also, the food looks unbelievably bad. There is a reason we never see Czech restaurants in malls. Remember the dinner scene in Top Secret?

The farther north and east you go in Europe, the more off-putting and strange the food gets. Spain, Italy, France, Greece…excellent. Germany…passable. Scandinavia, England, and Russia…like prison food.

Based on Youtube videos I’ve watched, it appears Russians are swarming Prague. I don’t know how well they mix with tourists from NATO countries. I am not all that eager to mingle with Russian tourists. I suspect they are like British tourists. Drunken, loud, and likely to vomit at any second. Dublin sidewalks are always decorated in British vomit.

Russians sound like the kind of people I would have wanted to hang around with in college.

Americans used to be the problem tourists on this planet. As other countries have accumulated wealth and started to travel more, that distinction seems to have become harder to award. The mainland Chinese do unspeakably rude things, for example. Communism makes people coarse. The Taiwanese are probably great guests.

To get back to Prague, it looks a lot like Disney World. Throngs of tourists everywhere, even in the slow season. Tons of businesses designed for tourists. Lots of scams.

If it’s bad in cold weather, imagine the summer.

Rome sounds better, but my research suggests it’s not what it once was. It’s hard to book activities in November. The crowds are legendary. Also, tourism forums warn about the omnipresent pickpockets, who have formed a de facto industry.

I wasn’t excited about this trip. Wrong season. Lackluster primary destination.

Now that Europe has once again shown us its true, hypocritical nature, my wife should be able to arrive here a week earlier, which is fantastic. We lose 10 days because Zambia is crazy, but we gain days we would have spent traveling. There is absolutely no reason to expect anything but a quick visa issuance. America isn’t Europe. We actually let people in. Boy, do we let people in.

We feel cheated because we didn’t get a second trip this year, but hey, America is huge, and my wife hasn’t seen it. Maybe we can see the Smokies before the leaves fall off. Meanwhile, we can apply for a visa to visit Israel, which is a better destination than any European country.

European visas are not that hard to get once you have a green card. I think the Europeans don’t want to make Uncle Sam mad, and besides, they realize nearly no one wants to leave the US and move to Europe. Half of them are trying to move here.

American winter destinations are generally pretty bad. There are the beaches, which neither of us wants to see. The beautiful non-beach areas will be cold, there will be no leaves on the trees, and many locations will be rainy and muddy. Most of our big tourism cities have turned into mental asylums. Neither of us ski or plan to learn, so forget the western mountains.

Maybe we’ll never see Prague. That’s okay with me. I’ve never wanted to visit. It makes me think of Franz Kafka. Prague will never see my dollars, so it’s a two-edged sword.

When I got the news about the visa, I went online and canceled a whole lot of engagements. Around $3000 for hotels and an Airbnb. Another grand or so for activities. Thank God I didn’t buy airline tickets. There may be some long faces in Czechia and Italy today. Nothing I can do.

I feel God has blessed us once again.
