HISTORY IS UNFOLDING - DESTRUCTION AND REBIRTH

PREDICTION:

THE GREAT RECKONING IS COMING - IT EVEN HAS A KEY DATE OF JANUARY 2020.

I am not a follower of Astrology.  Many Presidents, Kings, Generals and highly successful people are.  But just yesterday I found out by "chance" that Astrology supports my Prediction of major events which are soon to unfold.

As anyone who has followed me knows, I have have strong opinions.  And I have been very outspoken about how the Left has been mistreating and reacting to Trump. Even though I did not vote for Trump I am horrified by what I believe are serious crimes committed to prevent his election and remove him from office.  I realize now that Trump is only one, albeit highly visible target.  The attacks are on our Founding Fathers, their Principles and the Conservatives seeking to uphold them.

The corruption that has infected our country at the highest levels in our governmental systems, including the DOJ, FBI, CIA (the so called Deep State), will soon meet it's destruction.

The people that brought us the Benghazi cover-up, the Hillary Email scandal, the Russian Hoax and the Mueller investigation will face Divine retribution.  Those at the highest level of the Obama Administration, his AG; the DNC and Hillary will be facing their fate for their crimes of sedition against the United States and the American people.

Coming events will rock our country to the core with a level of severity that is comparable to the greatest events in our Nation's 243 year history; including World Wars, the Depression and even the start of the Nation itself - the Revolution. The magnitude of shocks that are going to hit the Country can produce huge events and changes. The Nation will not be the same.

As we move into the second half of this year 2019 and IG Horowitz's report lays out the abuses with the FISA Court which led to spying on the Trump campaign and as US Attorney John Dunham comes forward with indictments related to the same, I also expect AG Barr will reopen the case of Hillary's email scandal.

We saw the tiny tip of this corruption iceberg when the IRS was exposed for targeting Conservatives during the Obama Administration.  Justice was not served then and that was only foreshadowing compared to what is about to happen.

Expect to see the Clinton's and their Foundation brought into the fray.  Not to mention Bill Clinton being implicated in the Epstein sex trafficking case. The Foundation is burnt toast.

The Democrats love to say that there were no scandals during the Obama Administration. Nothing could be farther from the truth!  (The hypocrisy is greater than the truth.)

TRUMP IS FIXING OBAMA. THIS IS EVEN BIGGER!

Destruction is the flip side of creation.  Justice is coming with the future events.  As President Trump has said repeatedly, "We must never allow what happened to him happen to any other President." This means that there will be major changes to the institutions and systems that failed us.

When we speak about changes, I am including the news media, or as we now say the Fake News. They must be held accountable for missing the biggest story ever that was right under their noses and even aiding and abetting the perpetrators.  The Leftists Liberal Press were conspirators in misleading the public. They did the dirty deeds that folks like Brennan, Clapper, Holder, Hillary and others needed them to do.

FEAR NOT

A PROFOUNDLY PARADOXICAL MOMENT IN POLITICAL HISTORY JUST OCCURRED

TRUMP IS BUILDING A REPUTATION FOR DEFYING HIS CRITICS.

Trump's D-DAY speech garnered accolades worldwide. His State of the Union speech was widely praised. He has made impressive presentations before the United Nations. But his recent Independence Day speech may be his best yet.

Trump inspired, moved us emotionally, saluted heroes, recalled great moments and people in history, unified, and paid tribute.  There wasn't a partisan point made.

One proof of the quality of his July 4th speech is that both CNN and the Washington Post, two of the most Leftist Partisan media sources, allowed positive articles about it.

Of course Trump haters will always find something to harp on. They had to seize on an honest mistake in order to find fault with his Independence Day speech. In doing so it is they who look small, closed minded and hyper negative. 

Trump is defying his critics.  And not just in his big speeches. His entire presidency thus far could be described as one that defied the predictions by his opponents:

• It began at the beginning with him winning the Primary and the election. Trump proved the experts, the polls and especially the media all terribly wrong.
• They said the stock market and the economy would crash, instead it boomed to record levels.
• They said he was terrible to women, yet he is the first President to have a female campaign manager and has more women in high levels of his Administration than any past President.
• They said he would get us into war but he has delivered peace.
• They said he couldn't bring back manufacturing, but it's back biggly.
• They said he was a racist. Instead he has been the motivation for the #BLEXIT movement which is drawing more and more Blacks away from the Democratic party. 
• They said he was Putin's lackey but he has been tougher on Russia than any President.
• They said he would destroy the climate but America's performance on greenhouse emission reductions surpassed every nation.
• They said he colluded with Russia but Mueller and collection of 18 angry Democrats spent 2+years and $30 million of taxpayers' money to conclude there was NO collusion.

Trump supporters describe his overall performance very succinctly with this now famous meme, "Promises made, promises kept."  Trump has kept more campaign promises than any President. And he made very big promises.

BY FAR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE promise kept is also the most preposterous promise ever made by a politician.  It must be the most outrageous and far fetched promise EVER made by a Presidential candidate. During his campaign rallies Trump would say that "There is going to be so much winning that you are going to get tired of all the winning and you we will say please stop the winning, we can't handle all the winning."  Who makes a wild political promise like that and then keeps it??!! Only one man ever - Donald J. Trump.

BUT TRUMP'S INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH DID WAY MORE THAN DEFY HIS CRITICS. It was the quintessential culminating moment in his Presidency thus far! 

We have never seen any Presidential speech like this in our lifetime!  Trump literally used F35's, B2 Stealth Bombers and other modern military aircraft as props in his speech.  He showed off our rebuilt military that Trump is so proud of.  Trump demonstrated America's strength which he repeatedly speaks of.

Each military aircraft formation was perfectly timed along with the band playing that branch's anthem to show up in the sky above up at precise moments in Trump's speech.  This was a powerful subliminal way to say Trump was in charge of every flier - dozens of pilots pilots following, as it were, Trump's orders.  While Trump was obviously saluting the Armed Forces, the Forces were in effect showing their dedication to America.  But the entire glorious spectacle sent a phenomenally powerful yet subliminal message that Trump is the Commander In Chief. 

Trump's Independence speech didn't just defy the critics and turn out to be a unifying and widely praised speech. Though that would have been enough. (Dayenu.)  His speech is possibly THE MOST PARADOXICAL MOMENT IN POLITICAL ORATORY HISTORY.

Trump did something truly brilliant with his July 4th speech which is being lost on almost everyone.

Trump's NON-PARTISAN historic Independence Day speech and celebration that he conceived and pushed for ACHIEVED HIS STATED PRIMARY POLITICAL OBJECTIVE EXPRESSED BY HIS CAMPAIGN SLOGAN.  Trump's speech did what he ran his entire Presidential campaign based on. In a profoundly paradoxical sense Trump's NON-POLITICAL speech defined his Presidency by fulfilling his ULTIMATE campaign promise to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

TRUMP IS FIXING OBAMA.

THE GREAT SEAL - PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH

As America decays into a nation obsessed with identity politics, tribalism is weakening the USA. The best reminder of what made America strong is symbolized on our Great Seal.
Peace through strength - peace in the right talon represented by the olive branch. And strength represented by arrows in the left. Preferring peace
But above all the source of our greatness - Unity and the Almighty. ONE God is symbolized through the Stars, a star for each of the 13* original colonies, that form to shape the Star of David for the people who introduced Monotheism to a world filled with competing gods. MANY PEOPLE UNDER ONE GOD as expressed in the words E. PLURIBUS UMUM - "Out of many, one."
The Torah tells us of a "mixed multitude" who departed Egypt on a great EXODUS for Freedom in the Promised Land guarded and cared for by the Almighty. As we stood at the base of Mount Sinai, for the first time we were UNIFIED and accepted the Ten Commandments and the oral Torah as transferred to us by one of only two humans to see God's face and survive. The kindest man, Abraham was the first to see God. The man with the greatest humility, Moses was the second.

At Sinai, under a great cloud with the thunderous sound of the Shofar, God's presence was felt, the people trembled in awe, and the people Israel became a Covenant Nation. (Notice the cloud that the Star of David is surrounded by in the Seal.)

The Nation of Jacob's many Tribes United under the great King David. But again, as the Nation of Israel was divided by Tribal disagreements, it became weak and suffered terrible losses, including the loss of our Temple in Jerusalem. America today is being torn apart by tribalism. Identity politics and progressive multiculturalism is weakening America. The Democratic Political Party is idolizing their political leaders. They speak of Democracy as they seek to silence those who disagree with them. The Right, which strongly emphasizes the higher power of God, is often mocked and scorned for their faith and elevating God and family. The Left ridicules Trump and Pence who often evoke God in their speeches. They regularly speak of America's power and greatness coming from God. AND CLEARLY, Trump has chosen to "bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel," most notably Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and most of all IRAN! BUT I GO ONE STEP FURTHER. As I see it, the problem is that Government has grown too large. The freedom of the individual and states is being subordinated to the massive size and cost of Federal bureaucracy. And as a direct result, Americans are becoming more tribal and divided. The answer America isn't which "tribe" controls which Party. And it certainly isn't the Socialists who believe in increasing the size and cost of the Federal government! The answer my friends is LESS GOVERNMENT. MORE FREEDOM. ALONG WITH FOCUSING ON THE PRINCIPLES IN OUR NATIONAL SEAL. It is really quite simple - Peace through strength. Unity around the fundamental guiding principles set forth by our Founding Fathers in our Declaration of independence and the American Constitution. LIBERTY AND FREEDOM TO PURSUE HAPPINESS. * At the start of this post I mentioned the 13 stars above the Eagle's head which form a Star of David. While it is true that they represent the 13 original colonies, the number 13 is also a very special number is Judaism. Unlike popular belief that 13 is an "unlucky" number, in Judaism, 13 is actually a very special number! Here's more on that. I shutter to think what would happen to America if God were ever to stop "favoring our undertakings!" Below is the reverse side of the Great Seal. On it is the phrase "Annuit coeptic" which comes from the Latin words annuo, "to nod" or "to approve", and coeptum, "commencement, undertaking." It is literally translated, "[providence] favors our undertakings" or "[providence] has favored our undertakings."  It should look familiar!  In case you don't recognize it, look on your USA dollars.  The Mason's say it is forms an hexagram, also in the Star of David.   

Here's the hexagram that Mason's point out:

D-DAY IRONY - A LESSON LEARNED IS BEING FORGOTTEN

The fascist dictator Hitler sought specific objects:
1. Eugenics and Racial Purity
2. German Domination
Sovereignty was NOT one Hitler's objectives!

Hitler was determined to solve what the Nazi's called the Jewish problem, while also murdering gypsies, gays, mentally ill, handicapped and others.

The Ayatollahs in Iran, who wanted to dominate the Middle East, and who shared Hitler's views about the Jews being a subhuman problem, aligned with Hitler and the Nazis.

In spite of the tens of millions who died to stop the quest of the Nazi's, Europeans today allow radical Islamic protesters to publicly chant on streets their wish for the destruction of Israel and all Jews.  Too many Europeans harbor vile anti-Semitic beliefs.

Instead of flying balloons over London against Trump, the strongest supporter of Israel to be in the Oval Office ever and who also greatly strengthened NATO, the balloons should be denouncing Hamas and Hezbollah.  Those terrorists organizations have the same basic mission as the Nazi's - to kill every Jew and destroy the fruit of the allied victory - the State of Israel.  TRUMP IS THEIR GREATEST ENEMY and so they along with followers of the anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn who leads the United Kingdom's Labor Party are front & center and organizer of the protest rallies.

Trump is also a huge supporter of sovereignty for Great Britain, France, Italy, Greece and of course the United States.  Sovereignty is the antithesis of what Hitler tried to destroy and Americans fought to restore in Europe.

Sovereignty is treated like a dirty word by the European Union in which countries subordinate their National identity to unelected bureaucrats controlling their Laws, trade and borders.

WWII WAS FOUGHT TO RESTORE SOVEREIGNTY.  A POINT LOST ON MANY OF THOSE WHO PROTEST BREXIT AND TRUMP, MANY OF WHOM HATE ISRAEL AS WELL. 

HAVEN'T WE LEARNED OUR LESSON?

FORGETTING OUR HISTORY IS TO LOSE OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY

WE ARE LOSING OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY.  PATRIOTISM IS BEING REPLACED BY PARTISANSHIP. HISTORY IS BEING REPLACED BY POLITICS.  UNITY IS LOST.  PROBLEMS ARE NOT SOLVED THIS WAY -- THEY ARE INCREASED.

Please read this article before reading my post.

Very sad.  Americans seem to be shifting our focus away from the common history that unites us. Iconoclasm, tearing down the public symbols of our past, goes dangerously further by wiping out the past. Taking it's place is multiculturalism and Partisan loyalties.  These movements divide us. Identity politics accentuates our divisions and ranks us by them.

Ironically, we spend more money than any other nation to defend ourselves from external threats when the greatest threat to our nation is internal.  We've ignored the wisdom and warning of our Founding Father General George Washington about Partisanship.

A perfect example of this is President Trump's Historic State visit to mark the Anniversary of D-Day, one of the most important moments in history for the world, not just the USA and England. The President is there to strengthen our relationship with the United Kingdom which has more invested in the USA than any other country.  His mission is both Historic and economically important  -- history in the making. Yet all the Left Media does is target him to bash him.  Their focus is on Partisan differences for political gains. Party over Nation. The news media could and should be using these currents events about past events as an historical teaching moment.

History is being lost in our schools and in our media culture.  It's no wonder there is this story about the difficulties at America's Historic sites.  Very sad indeed.  Frightening too.

GIVING PEACE A CHANCE REQUIRES NEW PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP

There are glimmers of hope -- milestones of a shift -- and signs that the greatest barrier to peace is the Palestinian Authority itself.

Please refer to the following article by
Yishai Fleisher, an International Spokesman for the Jewish Community of Hebron.

Negotiations with the present top Palestinian leadership is futile.  Peace can not come to Israel without a change in Palestinian leadership.  Abbas, Fatah and Hamas must go.

There needs to be more to attract moderates to coexistence at the grassroots level.  They are out there, as the article states, "... there are thousands of people in the city, Jews and Arabs alike, who are seeking new leaders and a new path."

The next big "Palestinian Uprising" will be internal.  And when it happens, Israel must provide them security.  For too long such decent meant arrest, torture and even death. When Palestinians who want peaceful coexistence and cooperation with Israel can feel safe standing up against other Palestinians who only want war and the destruction of Israel, that is when the public tide will truly change in the right direction.

What scares the Abbas, Hamas and Hezbollah most is that Kushner's plan could actually work. That and the fact Egypt and Saudi Arabia and other Middle East Muslim countries are recognizing and supporting it.  If Europeans give their endorsement the end has arrived for Abbas and Hamas -- and they know it.

Regarding that last point, the question is whether anti-Semitism in Europe squelches support for a peace plan that may actually work and lead to a better life for Palestinians as well as Israelis. Europe is being tested, which is rather frightening given that the last time they were tested 60% of the worlds Jews were murdered.

SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE WITH OUR EYES

Lag B'Omer, is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the "Counting of the Omer," the forty-nine days between the Jewish holidays of Passover and Shavuot as stated in the Hebrew Bible: Leviticus 23:15–16.  It occurs the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar.  This year LagB'Omer falls on the evening of Wed, May 22, 2019 – through the evening of Thu, May 23, 2019.

In Israel on Lag B'Omer tens of thousands of Jews go to the burial place of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, for whom the holiday is about, in the small town of Meron in northern Israel where they have great celebrations of his legacy.  Very religious Jews sing and dance around campfires and totally whoop it up.  

But most Americans have never even heard of this significant holiday.  To be frank, I hardly even considered it, let alone understood it until recently.  And, now that I do, I think the message of the holiday is profoundly important to today.  

The Parsha of Lag BaOmer is extremely timely to current events related to the battles raging this very week over Alabama's new highly restrictive abortion laws.  In my personal opinion, Alabama law makers have gone too far!  But I want to zoom out to the more broad meaning of the holiday and then you can make your own associations. 

For many years now, politics is becoming increasingly partisan. The debates are very often between parties on the two ends of the extreme on many issues, whether it is gun control or abortion or illegal immigration, or whatever.  I believe the holiday of Lag B'Omer can teach us something very important and that we need to correct today.

I've posted the Hebrew and English translation of Lag B'Omer, below if you care to read the scripture.  There are also some remarks inserted by a Rabbi that I study with throughout the week, Rabbi David Fohrman's. For brevity sake, I'm going to get right to the conclusion about the meaning of the holiday, which I agree with. 

In the beginning Rabbi Shimon looked at the world with very harsh critical eyes - so harsh was his vision that it would set what he stared at on fire. After further study and consideration, Rabbi Shimon saw the world differently and he looked at the world with healing eyes.  

At that point in the scripture, Rabbi Shimon told is his son: די לעולם אני ואתה. "You and I are enough for the world."  According to Rabbi David Forhman,  what Rabbi Shimon found is "a new way to look at other people. The rest of the world, sure, they're crazy, and they're wrong, and it's an unimaginable tragedy that they're wasting their lives the way they are. But it doesn't mean we need to confront the tragedy and stomp it out. די לעולם אני ואתה – the two of us can just live our lives the right way, and let that be enough."

According to Rabbi Forhman, this became Rabbi Shimon's basic approach: "I can bear other people's existence, as long as I just accept that they're woefully misguided, and learn to expect nothing from them. I'm very tolerant." 

But the story doesn't end with just a message of tolerance, because Rabbi Shimon has one more encounter – Rabbi and his son meet an old man carrying myrtle branches just before Shabbat. This time, they don't just observe and judge or even tolerate. They are curious!  They ask questions and listen in order to try to understand the old man's perspective. As a result, they come to appreciate the old man's different way of serving God. 

The moral from Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai's life is that zealotry is not so good. We need to listen and respect different opinions. We need to see and try to understand other perspectives that are different than our own, rather than setting the world on fire with our eyes.   

I believe our world today would be better off if politicians and many citizens took a lesson from Lag B'Omer. Instead of moving to the outer extremes of the issues today, and holding fast to our zealous positions, we need to ask questions, listen more and have a more open mind.  The extreme partisanship in politics and the media today has gotten so viscous that is destroying everything in it's sight. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Story of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai:

The story, found in Masechet Shabbat, is set at a point in history when the Romans were occupying Israel. The Romans hear that Rabbi Shimon was criticizing them, and they sentence him to death. So Rabbi Shimon and his son, Rabbi Elazar, go into hiding in a secluded cave, where they spend their days doing nothing but studying Torah and praying. They're in the cave for twelve years, miraculously sustained by a spring of water and a carob tree, until one day, Eliyahu haNavi, Elijah the prophet himself, informs them they are no longer being pursued.

Now let's see what happens when they leave the cave, and reenter the world:

נפקו

They emerged

חזו אינשי דקא כרבי וזרעי

And they saw people plowing and sowing seeds. But Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai doesn't like what he sees:

אמר מניחין חיי עולם ועוסקין בחיי שעה

He cried out, "These people are abandoning eternal life for life of this world! They're putting aside Torah study, to work their fields – worthless, earthly pursuits!"

He couldn't imagine why anyone would do that.

כל מקום שנותנין עיניהן מיד נשרף

And suddenly, any place Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his son would turn their gaze, it immediately went up in flames.

יצתה בת קול

A voice from Heaven called out to them,

ואמרה להם

And it said,

"להחריב עולמי יצאתם?"

"Did you come out here to destroy My world?"

"חיזרו למערתכם!"

"Go back into your cave, before you cause any more damage!"

After this Heavenly rebuke, Rabbi Shimon and his son return to the cave for one more year, and then emerge once again. But this time, things go a little differently.

נפקו

They came out.

כל היכא דהוה מחי ר' אלעזר הוה מסי ר"ש

Whatever Rabbi Elazar damaged, Rabbi Shimon repaired.

In other words, Rabbi Elazar is still burning things left and right. But for Rabbi Shimon, something has changed. Not only is he not spitting fire from his eyes anymore; all the damage that his son causes, he's able to undo. Rabbi Shimon then turns to his son and says:

די לעולם אני ואתה

"My son; you and I, we're enough for the world."

One Friday afternoon, as the sun was setting and Shabbat was arriving,

חזו ההוא סבא

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his son saw an old man

דהוה נקיט תרי מדאני אסא ורהיט בין השמשות

And he was holding two big bundles of hadassim, fragrant myrtle branches, and running at twilight.

אמרו ליה

They said to him

הני למה לך

Why do you have these branches in your hands?

אמר להו לכבוד שבת

He responded: They are in honor of Shabbat.

(Apparently, hadassim were the second-century version of a fragrant bouquet of flowers.)

ותיסגי לך בחד

They asked him: Wouldn't one bundle be enough?

חד כנגד זכור וחד כנגד שמור

The old man explained: One bundle corresponds to Zachor – the commandment to remember Shabbat; and the other, to Shamor – the commandment to guard Shabbat.

In other words, he seems to be saying that since the Bible uses two different words when it commands us to observe Shabbat, it deserves a double honor.

א"ל לבריה חזי כמה חביבין מצות על ישראל

After hearing this, Rabbi Shimon turned to his son and said: Look how beloved the commandments are to the children of Israel. Finally,

יתיב דעתייהו

Their minds were put to ease, and they lived happily ever after.
