Both politics & religion operates in waves as does computer programming. A wave has its crest and trough; a computer has its YES NO. The Torah refers to this through the metaphor: blessing vs curse. Its the 5th time that the opposing Party swept both Houses of Congress. The opening first two Commandments of Sinai introduce the Central theme: a Yes NO blessing curse reality. In ’46, ’54, ’94, ’06, and ’26 the opposition party captured the ruling majority in both Houses.
The Book of D’varim Moshe Rabbeinu closes with the mussar “life and death, blessing and curse … Choose life.” This thematic framework grounded in the text of the Written Torah and later supported by Talmudic interpretative precedents. Talmud develops, akin to film, the language of the Torah. Talmud does not erase the plain Torah passage about choosing life and blessing or curse.
Mesechta Baba Kama employs the metaphor which supports how D’varim re-prioritizes the so called 10 Commandments! It employs the aggadic משל of a “Mountain hanging by a Hair” on dof 17a. The Hair the first two opening commandments “think Book-Ends” which contains all the other Torah commandments held in-between the blessing/curse “poles”.
The Aggada of mesechta Shabbat 88a, wherein Mt. Sinai held over Israel understood as a משל which teaches the נמשל of the death of the Wilderness generation after their 10th time of arousing Divine anger which refers to ארך אפים. This Oral Torah midda addresses B’midbar 14:22 “ten times” ’erekh appayim—and the mountain-over-Israel aggadah can be read through that tension.
The Zohar calls the blessing curse distinction Arikh Anpin contrasted by Ze’ir Anpin in Idra Rabba; Ze’ir Anpin’s face can expand and become “long” when it turns toward the Ancient One and shows compassion; the same passage contrasts the white dew associated with life and Arikh Anpin with the red dew associated with judgment and Ze’ir Anpin. Hence the D’varim interpretation of the opening two Sinai commandments the Aggada of Kabballah סוד, which the RambaN’s introduction to his famous Chumash commentary refers to as ‘black fire on white fire’ the substance of ארך אפים – the Zohar’s symbolism of D’varim’s oath alliance sworn by each and evry generation of the future born chosen seed of Israel as the “k’vanna” of the wisdom-time oriented mussar – the codification – twice repeated – the so called 10 commandments/\10 plagues which judge the Gods worshipped by Par’o and the Egyptians… all contained within the Central Torah theme of לשמה vs לא לשמה … life vs death … rule conquered Canaan with judicial justice vs endure the corrupt vertical court of Par’o whose “Star Court” justifies violent slavery oppression of invited guests in ones’ house.
Anybody can write comments upon Wiki – its not a valid source. In matters of emotion provoking propaganda … always (as a hard fast rule) weigh the source which promotes half-truth propaganda. Another hard rule: people addicted to slander NEVER themselves “weigh” the merits of the “other side” which their propaganda aims to poison the hearts of its reactionary reading audience. Propaganda compares to porn – both arouse strong emotional jism.
Post American and Israeli speculation
Iranian state media and officials have embraced the Democratic victory as a major defeat for the “maximum pressure” campaign that has defined Trump’s second term. Iranian state media and officials have embraced the Democratic victory as a major defeat for the “maximum pressure” campaign that has defined President Trump’s second term.
Tehran’s strategy was deliberate: It stalled negotiations to keep gas prices high and fuel voter frustration agitated. It struggled to close the Strait of Hormuz and attacked shipping. It deliberately prolonged peace talks to weaken Trump politically before the midterms.
Democrats strongly opposed to the war, and Democrats could push a binding War Powers Resolution that would force Trump to end hostilities that would force the strength of an Executive veto almost immediately following this sweeping victory of both Houses of Congress. But such an aggressive victory dance perhaps ignores Washington’s bipartisan consensus on opposing the Islamic Republic which runs deep on both sides of the aisle; both US parties share opposition to Iranian nuclear weapons capability, and “Blow-Back” cuts in both directions.
PM Netanyahu cannot form a coalition without Arab-party support or a wave of defections — this gives Tehran a bit of breathing space. However a renewed war against the Houthis in Yemen, to prune the influence of the Mullahs might break the current deadlock and permit Likud to form a governing coalition. Such a move could blunt a Congressional War Powers Resolution. The Trump/Bibi alliance remains a strong political alliance. Israel’s government formation deadline of Nov 11, and reports of US strikes already hitting Iran’s Qeshm Island on the eve of the midterms all point to a dangerous window ahead.
A Houthi-only campaign doesn’t obviously solve Netanyahu’s arithmetic problem. His bloc sits at 53 and needs 61. A war boosts his popularity but doesn’t deliver seats unless it triggers the specific dynamic Eisenkot warned about — opposition leaders falling in behind him rather than toppling him. Eisenkot himself bloodied, Gal his son, a Maglan commando reservist killed on December 7, 2023 (the first day of Hanukkah), after being wounded by an explosive device near a tunnel in Jabalia, northern Gaza. He was 25.
Iran’s repeated attacks upon Saudi Arabia; ideally causing a forced an Assad-like escape of the concealed fugative Abdul-Malik al-Houthi would require intelligence success on the order of the pagers in Lebanon. The Houthis and Iranian allies have benefitted from Russian intelligence, as well as Chinese capabilities. Terminating his ability to wreak havoc from where ever he hides would duplicate US forces capture of Saddam in Iraq. President Trump could now prioritize (1) forcing the UN to recognize Israel as a permanent state in the Middle East region (2) through expansion of the Abraham Accords consequent to the collapse of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. Prioritizing Yeman now establishes Israel as the main driver akin to the 12 Day War against Iran.
Israel announced it’s ordering 25 more F-35s (bringing total to 100) and integrating Rafael SPICE 1000 precision-guided munitions. Somaliland would make an ideal launch site of Israeli ground troops to capture or kill Abdul-Malik al-Houthi – if the intelligence services succeeded like as in the past. With Russia tied down in the Ukraine the window to strike limited. By restructuring the war away from Iran and onto eliminating al-Houthi the risks and costs of war radically reduced.
The US government announced a $20bn reinsurance facility for hull and cargo cover (excluding pollution when ships sink), working with US insurers, explicitly positioned as backing for seaborne trade in the Gulf. This policy forced Lloyd’s of London to compete with competitive bids. The US stepped in as reinsurer of last resort alongside Lloyd’s, not instead of it. Socialist Labor in London’s hostility to both Trump and Bibi – has already witnessed all US strategic bombers pulled out of England.
Pruning the Abdul-Malik al-Houthi weed, prioritized to the top of the list, offers tremendous post election possibilities for both the US & Israel. Washington ends its blockade of Iranian ports, Tehran reopens Hormuz, US eases oil-sale restrictions and imposes no new sanctions; insurance normalization — Democratic Congress’s leverage over funding intersects with the insurance market’s leverage over shipping in ways neither side fully controls.
The strategic cost of bombing Yemen from Israel vastly reduces the costs of bombing Iran. An investigation found Russian satellites share intelligence enhancing Houthi targeting of Saudi military and energy infrastructure — “pruning the weed” removes Russia influence from both Syria and Yemen. The Qeshm strikes, Hormuz closure, Strait insurance premiums, tanker risk, Russian satellite exposure: all of it is downstream of Iran being the adversary. Shift the declared adversary to Sana’a and that entire cost structure comes off the table.
Berbera sits just about 160 miles from the Bab el-Mandeb, roughly one-quarter the distance from Israeli bases. For rotary-wing insertion, small-boat infiltration, or ISR loiter time, that’s transformative — and yes, aircraft don’t need to land there for the relationship to matter. Overflight, refueling, medical evacuation, signals collection, staging of sealift: all plausible without an F-35 parking anywhere. The shock value along comparable to Oct7th 2023 in impact. But shock while perhaps decisive in battles does not win wars. The attack on Pearl Harbor contrasts with the sinking of the Maine in Cuba. Israeli intelligence to penetrate al-Houthi’s inner circle – a complete unknown. Therefore Somaliland’s value, not an Israeli military base of invasion, but rather an intelligence and logistics platform supporting clandestine action.
The diplomatic backlash with the Turks a serious issue that falls outside of the purview of this observation, akin to Israeli intelligence services! Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and others issued a joint statement which denounced Israel’s recognition of Somaliland. This collective condemnation confirms Israel sits outside the Arab political architecture it’s strategic foreign policy seeks to force the UN to recognize Israel’s integration as part of this Middle East region. The Abraham Accords framework is Israel negotiating across the region, not within it — Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan are the signatories. Egypt and Jordan have separate peace treaties. Saudi Arabia has not normalized. Israel is the outsider in this equation, negotiating access rather than participating in a shared regional order.
The key player for the expansion of the Abraham Accords – Kuwait. Saudi Arabia has already negotiated most of what it wanted without normalizing with Israel — US major non-NATO ally status, F-35 sale approved ($24.3bn for 48 jets), strategic defense agreement, civilian nuclear cooperation offer. Kuwait “suffered severe damage during the Iranian war,” both from US bases on its soil and its “exclusive reliance on the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports”. Israel’s ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, said in September that another country would join within four to six months and pointed specifically at Kuwait: “Maybe we will have a surprise”.
A 10-seat House loss is boring. A 30-seat House loss plus a Senate flip plus Texas and Kansas going blue one of the most consequential midterm elections in decades … a potential Fourth “both Chambers Flip” Since WWII consequential.
A Democrat controlled Congress will force the President to negotiate the debt ceiling, consequent to losing his Senate majority which would permit “reconciliation” – a simple Senate majority. Congress controls the purse strings, such as “defense budgets”, tariffs, judicial appointments, subpoena oversight/investigations. Herein the checks & balances of our Constitution – the Presidential veto override requires two-thirds of members voting in each chamber.
On the State level: Texas turning blue not seen since Ann Richards 1990. The last time Texans trusted a democrat, Lloyd Bentsen sent to the Senate 1988; the end of the Reagan Administration and start of the Bush CIA-Administration, whose Carter-like one term introduced the two-term Democrap Messiah President followed by a GOP nation-building moronic Patriot Act, no WMD in Iraq liar; followed by the second Messiah President, the former famous for sex, while the latter famous for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize 9th month in the White House with no accomplishment other than getting elected; and sealed by the Russia-Gate fraud. Comparisons of corruption abuse: the 2006 rejection of Cheney together with his Bush poodle Iraq War + economy + tariffs + federal bureaucratic corruption … all have the silver lining that America has yet totally flipping-out and speaking French despite eating American-Fries.
The terrorist attack on a Jordanian church produces its ripple effect.
Good morning America – Time to vote the DemonCRAPS out of Washington. The “Palestine” invoked by the UN, ICC, and EU – a political fiction, not a historical reality; no different from the NT & Koran frauds.
As you awake this morning please recall the Founding Fathers who rejected cutting a permanent alliance with Europe. Washington later urged avoiding permanent alliances and keeping clear of ordinary European Civil Wars such as the 30 Years War, WWI & WWII; while also saying existing commitments must be honored and temporary alliances like the one which Washington cut with France in 1778 appropriate in emergencies on national existence. Currently today London together with its UN\EU allies – seek to impose “taxation without representation” upon Israeli settlements in Yechuda and Shomron; it condemns the Israeli democracy for making war upon Gaza after Oct 7th 2023 Shemini Atzeret massacre and seizure of Israeli hostages similar to the 1979 American embassy hostages.
London presumes that BLOW BACK does not apply to them for their illegal ’39 White Paper, which UN\EU allies seek to declare where Israelis can live within the borders of ’67 Israel together with its captured territories. These UNIVERSAL INTERNATIONAL LAW vile imperialist States – they have no shame. Universal international law which the UN and ICC promotes does not remotely resemble the international model of the laws of the High Seas – which equally impacts all ships which sail upon the Ocean waters. Conventionally dated from 1517, Luther’s Reformation, the Protestant and still later Eastern Orthodox churches likewise rejected Jewish self determination where they could and could not live across European countries.
London strongly approves of dividing Jerusalem into a post WWII divided Berlin. The Vatican jabber of imposing a decree that Jerusalem exist as an international city … the same Vatican which decreed that Jewish refugees forced to dwell in ghetto gulags for 3 Centuries till Napoleon spanked the bottom of the Poop till he bleed from his nose.
The first illegally established Jewish ghetto was in Venice in 1516. The Venetian Senate ordered Jews living in the city to move into the designated area on March 29, 1516. In 1555, Pope Paul IV’s bull: “Cum nimis absurdum” ordered Jews in Rome to live in a walled, gated district and imposed other restrictions. Serves as a direct precedent for the sanctions imposed by London and Paris – together with its Jew hating allied States – which decree where Jews can and cannot live in Yechuda and Shomron. In effect Europe like the Khartoum Resolution wherein the Arab League decree their famous 3 No’s post the Nakba Allah crushing defeat of that dead “Universal-Tawhid” God.
Post War 1967 “neutral London and Paris” sought to decree land for peace revisionist history — as proven by UN SC 2334 political theater, which declares Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and Samaria as “ILLEGAL”. In 2024 the ICC, created by the Rome Treaty – which Israel refused to join that treaty alliance – declared that the Prime Minister of Israel a war criminal. Together with the ICJ which demanded that Israel must cease new settlement activity in the ‘occupied Palestinian territory and evacuate settlers’. Palestine ceased to exist the moment that David Ben Gurion declared the name of the new Jewish State of Israel; like Dutch New Amsterdam ceased to exist after the British defeated the Dutch. The bogus claim that “international law” either does or does not abolish the name Palestine – utterly absurd. Just as New Amsterdam changed to New York and Constantinople changed to Istanbul. The League of Nation Palestine Mandate does not compare to the Treaty of Breda where a defeated nation ceded its lands over to England. Never ever existed an Arab independent Palestinian state.
The Palestine mandate Britain return back to the UN after the Irgun blew up the British headquarters which they placed within the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. The League of Nations never a sovereign transfer of territories between nation states. Rather it obligated the British administration to facilitate Jewish immigration and settlement. Britain never the “owner” of the land but rather a restricted “trustee. When those cowards withdrew in 1948 they did not then or now “return” sovereignty to any Arab state, least of all Palestine. Israel’s admission to the UN in 1949 effectively fulfilled the League Mandate core purpose.
The Fourth Geneva Convention and the principle that territory acquired by force during war cannot be annexed or permanently settled, treating the West Bank and East Jerusalem as occupied territory under international humanitarian law; by which the Britain and its UN “pals” seek to condemn Israel ignores the post WWII forced displacement of almost 18 million Germans and 25% of Germany unilaterally awarded to Poland and Russia – consequent to the Potsdam Agreement of 1945 fundamentally negates the post ’67 UN 242 demand – Land for Peace.
The pretexts of European imperialism dolled up as the Jewish question which depicts London and its UN\EU thugs which frame the 6 Day War defeat of Nakba Allah as concerning occupation, territory, settlements, and the rights of Palestinians etc ignores the fact that not till the issuance of the 2nd White Paper did Arabs start to warm to and embrace the vision of a European imposed Arab Palestine dominated State which houses a 25% dhimmi Jewish minority housed in enclosed ghettoes as determined by Arab overlords.
As American colonies rejected the rule of law imposed by King George III so too Israel rejects UN decrees which condemn Israel but ignore other countries similar but far worse policy behaviors. International Law which unilaterally discriminates target nations, akin to coward Chamberlain’s ‘Peace in our Time’ worthless piece of paper – which surrendered the Independent nation of the Czech Republic to Hitler in 1938 – weigh how both the Encyclopedia Britanica and Wiki both minimize and water down this decision of political theater.
Last days before the Midterms!! Go GOP a blessing that you respect and honor the leadership of the President.
Humor
Coward EU butt f*cked by London; EU victims of violent protests yet categorically condemns Israel when Arab terrorists slaughter over 1200 Israelis on the last day of Chag Sukkot and condemns both Bibi and Israelis living in Yechuda and Samaria. Time to deport all Gazans out unto multiple options: Syria, Iraq or Yemen!
European guilt – even the EU Constitution attempt despised the “DEAD” disgraced Church abomination Av tumah avoda zarah.
Saying “all the people in our lives are saints” can sound like it erases the difference between ordinary human dignity and moral holiness—and, in the shadow of the Shoah, that kind of blanket language can feel especially disturbing. All Saints’ Day honors those believed to have attained heaven; Shoah church guilt concealed by language “saints”, a coward propaganda of church – both Catholic & Protestant – genocide guilt of profound moral horror—not folded into a feel-good slogan.
Catholic guilt concealed by “saint” compares to post war attempts to build a Catholic church in Auschwitz-Birkenau; the post War rat-lines to South America and Polish pogroms! The “saint” – moral solvent – a “lime” white-wash designed to conceal & dissolve the distinctions between victims, rescuers, bystanders, collaborators, and perpetrators. All people may possess human dignity; that does not make all people morally holy, nor does it make their choices equivalent.
In Germany, the majority of the Lutheran Church sided with the Nazis throughout the war. church leaders, lead by Pope Pius XII, in both Protestant and Catholic institutions generally chose caution and compromise over public opposition to the persecution of Jews. The institutional Church Jew hatred codified in the Gospel of John and throughout the famous Church imposed “debates”, not even RambaN permitted to point out that the mitzva of Moshiach an Oral Torah interpretation of the Written Torah; the church denies the existence of the Oral Torah revelation at Horev. Its substitute theology replaces the Spirit revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment with John’s Gospel which declare the Word is God. Jews could not point out a comparison of the Divine Spirit 1st Commandment revelation to Av tumah wordcraft defines the 2nd Sinai commandment which rejects the limitation of “other Gods” as physical idols. Millions of Protestant vs Catholics slaughtered in the 30 year war on this very dispute Church Civil War.
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum describes Xtian leaders’ silence and complicity. Emphasizes Xtian institutions often helped administer racial laws by supplying baptismal records used Nazi SS to determine people’s ancestry. All Saints’ Day, flatten “every” Xtian or congregation into the same role, as such it too distorts and perverts on the same order as “All Saints’ Day.
The history, such as the Nicene Creed of 325 serves as the basis of how the Church fathers substituted Jesus for the local tribal god revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment; neither Esav nor Yishmael except to this day the revelation than nothing in the Heavens, Earth or Seas – inclusive of word-translated names such as Jesus, Father, Holy Spirit, or tawhid Allah – does this substitute theology replace the day/night difference between Spirit from words. The latter falls under the negative commandment not to compare anything in the Heavens, Earth or Seas to the revelation of the First Sinai commandment. Esav and Yishmael never taken out of Egypt. The replacement of Yishmael for Yitzak negates the revelation that brit-t’shuva require than oath bnai brit Jews remember the 3 oaths which both the Avot AND לשמה swore to one another that only they – not Moshe – would father the chosen Cohen people.
Catholic clergy, including Bishop Alois Hudal, helped Nazi perpetrators escape to South America; the extent of Vatican-level knowledge or direction remains a deeply divisive issue exemplified by the sealed Vatican sources. Not till 2020 did the Vatican permit for the first time a limited examination of WWII Vatican archives. Newly available material has seriously popped the Vatican attempt to make Pius XII declared as a “Saint”. Research reported from the archives found evidence that Pius XII received reports of mass murder and that Vatican officials used antisemitic reasoning in discussions about whether to speak out. That supports scrutiny of institutional responsibility, though it does not by itself prove every claim about what the pope knew, when he believed it, or whether the Vatican centrally directed the ratlines.
