What Makes Israel the “Holy Land”?

I’ve often wondered: what makes the racist State of Israel the “Holy Land”? Is it the record of Christ’s visit over 2000 years ago or is it the establishment of the Zionist State of Israel in 1948?

Christian Zionists such as Rev. John Hagee and Pat Robertson (who worship the State of Israel) believe it is “holy” because political Zionists lied and schemed to establish the racist State of Israel in 1948.

But political Zionists hate anything to do with Christ or Christianity. So paranoid are Zionists that they reportedly even removed the mathematical sign “+” from mathematics textbooks because it resembles the Christian cross.

But this is not what I wanted to say. I wanted to say that Zionists hate Christianity so much that they create modern-day martyrs. For example, in 1979, Zionists tortured and killed 66-year old Orthodox priest Father Philoumenos of Jacob’s Well. Orthodoxwiki records it thus:

The Saint experienced a martyric death at the hands of extremist Jewish Zionists who massacred him with an ax in the evening, while he was performing Vespers at the Well of Jacob where he lived as a loyal guardian of the Holy Places and centuries old way of life.

The week before his martyrdom, a group of fanatical Zionists had come to the monastery at Jacob’s Well, claiming it as a Jewish holy place and demanding that all crosses and icons be removed. Of course, the Saint pointed out that the floor upon which they were standing had been built by Emperor Constantine before 331 A.D. and had served as an Orthodox Christian holy place for sixteen centuries before the Israeli State was created, and had been in Samaritan hands eight centuries before that. The group left with threats, insults and obscenities of the kind which local Christians suffer regularly.

After a few days, on November 16/29, 1979, during a torrential downpour, a group broke into the monastery. The saint had already put on his epitrachelion for Vespers.

“They burst into the monastery and with a hatchet butchered Archimandrite Philoumenos in the form of a cross. With one vertical stroke they clove his face, with another horizontal stroke they cut his cheeks as far as his ears. His eyes were plucked out. The fingers of his right hand were cut into pieces and its thumb was hacked off. These were the fingers with which he made the sign of the Cross. The murderers were not content with the butchering of the innocent monk, but proceeded to desecrate the church as well. A crucifix was destroyed, the sacred vessels were scattered and defiled, and the church was in general subjected to sacrilege of the most appalling type.”

The piecemeal chopping of the three fingers with which he made the Sign of the Cross showed that he was tortured in an attempt to make him renounce his Orthodox Christian Faith.

Nothing here makes me want to call Zionist Israel the Holy Land.

Almost Everything Is A Crime In America Now: 14 Of The Most Ridiculous Things That Americans Are Being Arrested For

Have you ever taken a few moments to think about this? I was sitting in my chair and thinking about the ‘crimes’ people commit and the punishment they receive from their benevolent governments. I tried to make up a list and the list became so long that I gave up on the idea.

Then I stumbled upon this article which said what I wanted to say, and said it better, and I quote it here:

Doesn’t it seem like almost everything is becoming a crime in America now?  Americans are being arrested and charged with crimes for doing things like leaving dog poop on the ground, opening up Christmas presents early, not recycling properly, farting in class and having brown lawns.  But is it healthy for our society for the police to be involved in such silly things?  Every single day the United States inches closer to becoming a totalitarian society.  While there are some that would welcome this shift, the truth is that throughout history the societies that have experienced the greatest economic prosperity have all had at least a certain level of freedom.  Business thrives when people feel free to live and work.  When a government tightens the grip too much many people just start shutting down.  Just look at places like North Korea.  Even though the rest of the world is sending them huge amounts of food starvation is still quite common in that totalitarian regime.  That is why it is so disturbing that it seems like almost everything has become a crime in America now.  As we continue to criminalize relatively normal behavior our slide toward becoming a totalitarian state will only accelerate.

We are throwing anyone and everyone in prison these days.  It is getting absolutely ridiculous.  Today, the United States leads the world in the number of prisoners and in the percentage of the population in prison.  The United States has 5% of the world’s population, but approximately 25% of the world’s incarcerated population.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, as of the end of 2009 a total of 7,225,800 people were either on probation, in prison or on parole in America.

That is a sign of a very, very sick society.  Either we have a massive crime problem or the “control grid” that our leaders have erected for us is wildly out of control.

Or both.

But how in the world are we supposed to have a healthy economy if our entire nation is being turned into one gigantic prison?

Sadly, it is not just hardcore criminals that are being rounded up and abused by authorities these days.  The following are 14 of the most ridiculous things that Americans are being arrested for….

#1 A Michigan man has been charged with a felony and could face up to 5 years in prison for reading his wife’s email.

#2 A 49-year-old Queens woman had bruises all over her body after she was handcuffed, arrested and brutally beaten by NYPD officers.  So what was her offense?  The officers thought that her little dog had left some poop that she didn’t clean up.

#3 A 56-year-old woman who was once a rape victim refused to let airport security officials feel her breasts so she was thrown to the floor, put in handcuffs and arrested.

#4 In Milwaukee, one man was recently fined $500 for swearing on a public bus.

#5 Several years ago a 12-year-old boy in South Carolina was actually arrested by police for opening up a Christmas present early against his family’s wishes.

#6 In some areas of the country, it is now a crime to not recycle properly.  For example, the city of Cleveland has announced plans to sort through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.

#7 A 12-year-old girl from Queens was arrested earlier this year and taken out of her school in handcuffs for writing “Lex was here. 2/1/10″ and “I love my friends Abby and Faith” on her desk.

#8 Back in 2008, a 13-year-old boy in Florida was actually arrested by police for farting in class.

#9 The feds recently raided an Amish farmer at 5 AM in the morning because they claimed that he was was engaged in the interstate sale of raw milk in violation of federal law.

#10 A few years ago a 10-year-old girl was arrested and charged with a felony for bringing a small steak knife to school.  It turns out that all she wanted to do was to cut up her lunch so that she could eat it.

#11 On June 18th, two Christians decided that they would peacefully pass out copies of the gospel of John on a public sidewalk outside a public Islamic festival in Dearborn, Michigan and within three minutes 8 policemen surrounded them and placed them under arrest.

#12 A U.S. District Court judge slapped a 5oo dollar fine on Massachusetts fisherman Robert J. Eldridge for untangling a giant whale from his nets and setting it free.  So what was his crime?  Well, according to the court, Eldridge was supposed to call state authorities and wait for them do it.

#13 Once upon a time, a food fight in the cafeteria may have gotten you a detention.  Now it may get you locked up.  About a year ago, 25 students between the ages of 11 and 15 at a school in Chicago were taken into custody by police for being involved in a huge food fight in the school cafeteria.

#14 A few years ago a 70 year old grandmother was actually put in handcuffs and hauled off to jail for having a brown lawn.

Why in the world would anyone approve of the police arresting ordinary Americans for such things?

It seems like ever since 9/11 the whole country has gotten “security fever”.

Suddenly we need to “get tough” on everyone.

Yes, crime is making a comeback, but once upon a time the police in this country were able to handle crime quite well and be courteous and helpful to ordinary citizens at the same time.

But today it seems like nearly every single encounter with police ends up being negative.

It does not have to be that way.

The rest of the world sees what is going on in this country and many of them are deciding that they simply do not want to spend their tourist dollars here anymore.  That is not a good thing for our economy.

As the government continues to get even bigger and exerts even more control over our lives, many of our own people are getting sick of it and are moving abroad.

America used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.

That is no longer true.

Now we get thrown to the floor, handcuffed, beaten and arrested for things that we did not even know were crimes.

If America continues to move in this direction it is going to ruin our economy, our reputation in the world and our national spirit.

Unfortunately, history has shown us that once a free nation starts to lose that freedom it is hard to reverse that slide.  Perhaps we will be different.  Perhaps the American people will stand up and demand that we restore the principles of liberty and freedom that this country was founded on.

Do you think that will happen?  Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion….

I’m sure you could add to this list. It’s easy. For example, in Canada the government has ‘criminalized’ the clergy of some churches. The preachers are prohibited from preaching what they believe their Bible says. If they do, the government throws them into jail or makes the ‘guilty’ preacher do forced labor (fines), or forces the heretics to make public statements (government-enforced public apologies and community service). It’s not so different from the former Soviet Union.

Canadian prison for Christians: no heat or shoes or socks, bed sheets washed every 3 months

These four “freedoms” on the left are taken from page 8 of “Discover Canada” (2010 edition), a booklet for new Canadians published by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. In my opinion, this booklet should have a prominent warning printed on the front, such as “Warning: Canada’s Freedoms Are Subject to ZioFascists.” Here’s why:

What’s it really like in a Canadian prison? And what is it like when you’re not a criminal? The following excerpt describes the inside of Canada’s prison gulag if you are a truth seeker and pacifist, and dare to express a personal opinion that contradicts official government opinions. Listen to a survivor of Canada’s gulag prisons:

Throughout my imprisonment, basic human rights principles were trampled underfoot repeatedly and with impunity. The worst prisons were the Canadian detention centers at Thorold, Ontario and at Toronto West, where I was held for two long years in isolation cells, ice-cold in the winter, no shoes or socks allowed. The electric light in these cells, bright enough to be able to read, was kept on 24 hours a day. Through a glass slot in the door I was checked every 20 minutes, and my activities were meticulously noted by the guards: one sheet for every day.  No dignity, no privacy. My toothbrush was kept in a plastic bin in a hall. I was not allowed to speak to other prisoners. Bed sheets were changed only after three months. No pillows. No chairs. When I wrote to my wife or to my attorneys, I had to sit on a makeshift pile of my court transcripts. No radio, no television, not even an electrical outlet to sharpen my pencils. No ball point pens, only pencil stubs, cut in half with a saw. No spoons, forks, or knives were permitted; only a white plastic spoon with a fork called a “spork” that had to be returned every time at the end of the meal. With very few exceptions when furtive guards showed me some kindness away from the surveillance cameras, I was treated as though I was the worst of criminals. That’s Canada for you, where I have lived and worked without a criminal record for more than 40 years.

This Christian pacifist with no criminal record was treated many times worse than Canada’s most violent serial killers, compliments of the Zionist-controlled departments of (in)justice. So, I think new Canadians have every right to view their little booklet with great distrust, and could treat this part of the booklet as so much “poppycock.” Indeed, if Canada claims so much freedom of religion, why does it prosecute the clergy and tell them to renounce their faith? When Zionists have complete control, torture will be normal practice, as it is now in Israel.

Europe’s famous political prisoner survives Zionist prison term

Dr. Herbert Schaller & Ernst Zundel (R)

Ernst Zundel, Europe’s premiere prisoner of conscience has survived Zionist prisons in the “democracies” of Canada and Germany.

Ernst was released on St. David’s Day, named after a monk who, before his death in 589 AD, said: “Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed.”

Ernst has kept his faith and, from his countenance in the photo, is joyful. “Well done, good and faithful servant…” (Matthew 25:23)

Below is a thoughtful tribute by Michael Hoffman.

A critic has made a negative remark about the photograph of Auschwitz gas chamber skeptic Ernst Zundel (above, on the right), and his attorney, Dr. Herbert Schaller, taken on March 1, moments after Zundel emerged from Mannheim prison for the first time in five years.

We believe it is a beautiful photo, a truly heart warming picture. It is evidence, by way of a photograph, that Ernst will not bow to adversity, he will not whine, he will not show pain, but rather, in his smiling countenance one sees the joy of life. This is a testimony to his spirit, after seven years’ incarceration, including two in solitary confinement in Canada. Let us also not forget that as a child he survived the Allied firebombing holocaust against his hometown of Pforzheim; consequently, on top of it all, he is a holocaust survivor. I have seen a similar serenity and nobility in Japanese survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki holocausts.

This is a stunning contrast to the behavior and attitudes of many (though not all) of those poster soul-survivors of the Auschwitz slave labor camp, who, more than sixty years later, still pose with long faces, perpetually moaning, groaning, wailing, hectoring, spewing hatred and pointing fingers of accusation, while churning out a deluge of newspaper and magazine articles, books, novels, television shows and and films constituting a new level of institutionalized vengeance, which has been weaved into the very fabric of the post-Christian West.

I say post-Christian, but we are even heedless of William Shakespeare. Surely Portia’s famous speech to Shylock in “The Merchant of Venice” (Act 4, scene 1), is now discredited by the mandarins of mediocrity. Yet, in Portia’s words we have our culture’s most eloquent reply to the perpetual Purim cry for vengeance under the rubric of justice. Here Shakespeare, as usual, put his finger on the heart of the matter: the vast chasm separating Judaism from the ante-Auschwitz West is their enshrinement of revenge and our obligation to mercy.

Zundel’s merciless persecutors have learned nothing from history. In their hubris, in their certainty that they will prevail and control and edit the future, they believe they can demonize, imprison and torment prisoners of conscience with impunity. The Romans imagined this about the early Christians, the French Catholics about the Huguenot, the German Lutherans about the Anabaptists, the New England Puritans about the Quakers, the Anglicans about their recusant Catholic countrymen, and the Soviets about the Eastern Orthodox. Yet, in each case history teaches that in time, the severely oppressed dissidents emerged stronger than ever.

This too is the destiny of World War II revisionists, though today, in the midst of intense persecution and witch-hunting, it is a future difficult for many to envision. In this sense, Ernst Zundel, even at age 70, is not a man of the past, but of the future.

Also, anachore posted a YouTube review by lawyer Douglas Christie, reflecting on the injustice of secret trials in Canada.

 

Christmas gift from Zion’s prisoner

Painted in prison on Christmas Day by Ernst Zundel

In the spirit of goodwill to all, we sent Christmas cards to prisoners of conscience, those prisoners behind Zionist prison bars for the “crime” of asking a few questions about history. The “world’s premier thought-criminal” in Germany, Ernst Zundel, thanked us by painting in prison on Christmas Day the beautiful card-sized painting you see at the left. We wonder: Would your painted images be as tender as this one if you were suddenly thrown into prison for “thought crimes“?

Of course, we are not the only ones who visit or send comfort to prisoners of Zion. As Orthodox Christian Israel Shamir has noted, Professor Dan McGowan visited Ernst Zundel in 2006 and noted that

[T]he Chairman of Deir Yassin Remembered, Prof Dan McGowan visited and comforted the German political prisoner of Zion, Ernst Zündel. Visiting prisoners is a great mitzvah, a good deed which is counted twice, on earth and on heaven, and the Lord is blessed as “matir asurim”, He Who Releases Prisoners. Whoever visits and comforts a prisoner is like one who comforts Christ, and he will be comforted. By spreading the news of his visit, we participate in McGowan’s good deed and benefit of his virtue.

World’s most famous Christian prisoner

The world’s most famous Christian prisoner, Mordechai Vanunu, has been arrested again. Why doesn’t an outfit likeThe Voice of Martyrs mention Vanunu’s name? Answer: As Christian Zionists, they would rather please the racist apartheid State of Israel than to request prayer and help for a true Christian. It’s that simple.

Vanunu, a Moroccan-born Jew who converted to Christianity says this in an interview with Eileen Flemming of We Are Wide Awake:

“I am not harming Israel. I am not interested in Israel. I want to tell you something very important. I suffered here 18 years because I am a Christian, because I was baptized into Christianity. If I was a Jew I wouldn’t have all this suffering here in isolation for 18 years. Only because I was a Christian man.”

And here are a few other Christian prisoners of conscience, in Zionist prisons for the crime of asking questions.

Does everyone have “the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion”? Obviously not.
