Georgia Accuses Washington of trying to overthrow the country in order to open a second front against Russia

Paul Craig Roberts

It is just as I said, and Putin’s inability to recognize reality and endlessly prolonging the conflict in Ukraine is bringing Russia and the world more trouble.

Putin’s dithering has now brought the French Foreign Legion to the front lines in Ukraine, and western Ukraine is accumulating NATO troops. As I have emphasized from the beginning, wars need to be quickly won, not extended indefinitely.

Putin pretends he is engaged in a limited military operation when in fact he is at war with the West.

The limited operation has spun out of control precisely as I said it would. Now there are Western troops and intelligence services involved, and Russia has to defend against long-range missiles striking deep into Russia while Washington schemes to open a second front against Russia and to separate China from Russia. Utter disaster will be the consequence of Putin’s refusal to win the war. Putin’s dithering has greatly expanded NATO on Russia’s borders with the addition of Finland and Sweden and allowed NATO to plan for war with Russia just as Putin’s dithering over Donbas provided the US with eight years to create a large Ukrainian army. Consequently, Russia’s self-defense now requires the use of nuclear weapons. There is no sign of the West coming to its senses. Putin is relying on a chimera.

In the West Parents Are Responsible for Children but are denied Control over Children

Governments hold parents responsible but have taken away parental control. The lack of parental control applies to serious things such as abortion and sex change as well as to pronouns. In the West the level of government intrusion in the family is more oppressive than it was in the Soviet Union.

In the period just after Christ’s Resurrection, St. Peter speaks to a crowd in Jerusalem about how God had “brought to fulfillment what He had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer.” (Acts 3:18)

He made those remarks after having healed a lame beggar “in the name of Jesus Christ” at 3:00 PM – the hour of God’s Mercy – at the Temple’s “Beautiful Gate.”  He also reminds them of their complicity – perhaps as members of the Good Friday crowd in Pilate’s courtyard, certainly as sinners – for having “denied” Christ and “handed Him over” to death.  The mention of denial is also a veiled self-indictment.  But Peter also mitigates their responsibility, having “acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did.”

These words represent an extraordinary conversion, almost an exorcism for St. Peter.  This was the man whom Christ called “Satan” and ordered to “get behind me” (Matthew 16:23) for having expressed the wish Jesus not suffer.

The healing occurred as Peter and John were on their way to afternoon prayer.  Those two – along with brother James – were even more frequently the recipients of an injunction also addressed to the whole apostolic band to keep silent about Jesus’s miracles “until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”  That call for silence – the “Messianic Secret” – features often in this year’s Sunday Gospels because of its prominence in Mark.

Jesus’s “Messianic Secret” is neither excessive humility nor a public relations tactic.  Jesus pledges His Apostles to secrecy because He is aware that the “Christ must suffer” as an intrinsic part of His Mission.  But that inescapable reality collided head-on with Jewish expectations (which the Apostles shared) of the Messiah as a glorious victor who vindicates Israel, without the detour through Calvary.

As Biblical commentator Leopold Sabourin has noted, the Messianic Secret was a necessary, if temporary (“until the Son of Man is raised from the dead”) measure.  Only once Jesus is raised can He be understood as Messiah on His terms.  Until that happens – until their very Jewish expectations of an impassibly victorious Messiah are converted to the reality of a Messiah who dies, and on a cross (Deuteronomy 21:22-23) – Jesus’s Mission will always be impeded by false hopes as much as the “stumbling block” of Peter’s “God forbid!”

For Peter to move from “no such thing shall ever happen to you” to “His Christ must suffer” is as radical a conversion as the one he demands of his audience.  It is also one Jesus Himself teaches. His exegesis on the road to Emmaus, just as His remedial Old Testament lesson in the Upper Room the first Easter, focused on “how slow of heart [you are] to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into His glory? (Luke 24:25-26, 44-47).

Peter had to be converted to a new way of thinking about suffering.  So, too, does our age.

In one sense, Peter is a very modern man.  Suffering, we are convinced, is something to be avoided.  Suffering is something utterly incompatible with the dignity of the Messiah.

On the other hand, Peter is a religious Jew.  Suffering is not merely senseless, as our contemporaries might claim. It is a consequence of, a punishment for, sin.  Remember the question of the Apostles on encountering the man born blind?  “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents?”  And while that Jewish heritage also included an innocent sufferer named Job, the drawing of a simplistically straight line between sin and suffering was the far more prevalent “theological paradigm” of the times.

Modernity requires its own conversion – indeed, its own exorcism – when it comes to suffering.  In several ways, it must be even more thoroughgoing than Peter’s, because he at least recognized that suffering, sickness, sin, and death were all somehow interrelated to the internal disunity and fallen state of human beings.

The modern world, by contrast, denies the ample evidence of human fallenness before its very eyes, insisting that human beings or at least those who see no need for a Calvary – like “the right side of history” or the “arc of justice” – will automatically set things right.

In such a world, suffering is senseless.  To the degree its source is internal disunity, it’s only the heavy yoke of our biology offending our “dignity” which human reason can remedy.  “Better, more dignified life through technology” – like Dr. Kevorkian’s death machine or state-sponsored “medical assistance in dying.”  It’s not just reasonable; it’s a human right!

Peter’s conversion comes from his discovery, even as he cowered under some rock maybe nearby Calvary, that every project of human “dignity” based on “human autonomy” ultimately crashes and burns.  The remedy lies not in “death with dignity,” but in Him who conquered death and all its pre-mortal consequences.  The One who conquered it in suffering, not by avoiding the road to suffering, as Peter once counseled, who gives our suffering, and our ability to “offer it up,” meaning.

Only He, John Paul II wrote, echoing Vatican II, “fully reveals man to himself” and the meaning of his life.  The meaning of man and his life is not just equally valid choices to be made by autonomous individuals, much less something they can actively “define” as a fundamental act of their freedom, at the “heart of [their] liberty.”

As we see in Peter, it is a choice between Heaven’s and Hell’s vision of man, the vision of the “Author of Life” (Acts 3:15) versus the Evil One who trafficked in death “from the beginning.” (John 8:44)

Which brings us back to the choice Yahweh put before Israel and everyman: “I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.  Choose life.” (Dt 30:19).  And, as Jesus told Martha and as Peter now understands – Life is not so much a concept as a Person. (John 11:25; 14:6)

"Oh, my people! They who guide you lead you astray."  (Isaiah 3:12)

(revised from 2005 and 10/07/23)

By Henry Makow Ph.D.

The worst antisemites are Zionists who create antisemitism to dupe  Jews into advancing the Illuminati bankers' plan for world government dictatorship.

In the past, I have argued that Zionism is a protection racket and conspiracy against Jews.

Before Zionists took over the US government, they took over the  American Jewish community and made it their instrument.

They have suppressed the normal cultural/spiritual/political aspirations of US Jews and drafted them to their pernicious cause.

Henry Hurwitz's  Menorah Journal and  Menorah Societies  were  an  attempt  by American Jewry to see itself culturally and spiritually as an end in itself, rather than a support system for the "Jewish homeland."  Zionists suppressed this free and democratic  group, in the same way as they have deprived Americans of their political and cultural freedom.

 THE MENORAH SOCIETY

Henry Hurwitz started the first Menorah Society at Harvard University in 1906 and its journal The Menorah Journal in 1915. The Menorah movement stood "for the study and advancement of Jewish culture and ideals in America." 

By the end of the First World War, the movement had expanded to include the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, Summer School, Education Conference and Board of Lecturers.

Essentially the movement fostered non-dogmatic, non-political study of Jewish history, spirit and culture. It was open to different points of view and initially received support from the central bankers. But when Hurwitz insisted that Judaism had nothing to do with Zionism, and Jews ought to feel perfectly at home in America, the bankers froze the  Menorah movement's Jewish community funding.

In 1958,  Hurwitz wrote a friend, "We have had more than one coy proposal from this and that wealthy organization to take us over. Our financial problems would then be solved. And our freedom--that is, our true life--dissolved."  (Menuhin, The Decadence of Judaism in Our Time,  1965. p.366)

In the Autumn-Winter 1959 issue of the Menorah Journal, Hurwitz describes the effect of "bigotry" i.e. Zionist banker control of organized Jewry.

 "This bigotry strikes beyond one old established independent organization and its magazine, which have perhaps rendered some service to Judaism through more than half a century. 

"This bigotry poisons the air of Jewish communal life in America. It tries to suppress...the basic American principles of free speech and free press. It penalizes honest analysis [of those] who control the Jewish public tax-exempt philanthropic funds, and hence have the power to enrich favorite organizations, while starving others that do not bend the knees...Thus, they actually hinder here a rational long-view consideration of the best interests of the people of Israel themselves.

 " Moreover, as is well known, a very large proportion of the supposedly voluntary philanthropic donations are extracted from business and professional men on threats of punitive economic and social sanctions. This must be described as what it is--a species of terrorism. Such terrorism has become a most effective technique in large Jewish fundraising." (Menuhin, p. 367)

  Unfortunately, the Menorah movement died with its founder in 1961. Its work was partly continued by the American Council for Judaism, under its dynamic founder Rabbi Elmer Berger (1908-1996.) 

(l. Menuhin's son is the famous violinist, Jehudi Menuhin.)

In 1965, Moshe Menuhin, left, characterized American Jewish life in the following terms:

"Today in America, Jewish culture and even Jewish religion has degenerated into 'Jewish' nationalism, and Jewish philanthropists, Jewish schools, Jewish segregated services, have been all subverted (with a few noble exceptions) into serving...the upbuilding of the 'Jewish homeland'...(468)

(A measure of this: Moshe Menuhin had to self-publish his book.)

 CONSEQUENCES

My guess is that American Jewry is about evenly divided: half is  alienated from all things Jewish; half is under the control of organized Jewry, i.e. the central banking cartel. 

This cartel, synonymous with the name  Rothschild, is behind all major wars and depressions of the past 300 years, behind Communism, Fascism and the Holocaust, behind 9-11 and the bogus war on terror. Nothing in this world happens without money and they control government credit.

They need to enslave us in order to protect this world monopoly.  Their goal is to remake mankind into a slave race by destroying the basis of our humanity: nationhood, religion (God), race and family.

This enemy sits at the heart of our political, financial and cultural life. It has co-opted all groups in the same way as it has co-opted Jews. However, organized Jewry is leading the assault on our freedom. 

They are the real antisemites. They have sacrificed Jews to their agenda before (Communism, Nazism, Zionism)  and will do so again. All Jews will be blamed for the New World Order, even though half are indifferent, and the other half are willing dupes.

Proof of Zionist-Nazi Collaboration

--- Eichmann told another story of his dealings with the Zionist Dr. Rudolf Kastner, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of countless assimilated Hungarian Jews, and the survival of the fittest Zionist Jews for Israel, Jews who were Kastner's friends. Eichmann stated, inter alia, 

 "As a matter of fact, there was a very strong similarity between our attitudes in the SS and the viewpoint of these immensely idealistic Zionist leaders who were fighting what might by their last battle. As I told Kastner: 'We, too, are idealists and we, too, had to sacrifice our own blood before we came to power.' I believe that Kastner would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become assimilated into Hungarian society. 

But he was incredibly persistent in trying to save biologically valuable Jewish blood--that is, human material that was capable of reproduction and hard work. 'You can have the others,' he would say, 'but let me have this group here.' And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful, I would let his groups escape. After all, I was not concerned with small groups of a thousand or so Jews."--A. Eichmann, "Eichmann Tells His Own Damning Story", Life Magazine, Volume 49, Number 22, (28 November 1960), pp. 19-25, 101-112; and "Eichmann's Own Story: Part II", Life Magazine, (5 December 1960), pp. 146-161; at 146.

Hannah Arendt wrote in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, "Of greater importance for Eichmann were the emissaries from Palestine, who would approach the Gestapo and the S.S. on their own initiative, without taking orders from either the German Zionists or the Jewish Agency for Palestine. They came in order to enlist help for the illegal immigration of Jews into British-ruled Palestine, and both the Gestapo and the S.S. were helpful. They negotiated with Eichmann in Vienna, and they reported that he was 'polite,' 'not the shouting type,' and that he even provided them with farms and facilities for setting up vocational training camps for prospective immigrants. ('On one occasion, he expelled a group of nuns from a convent to provide a training farm for young Jews,' and on another 'a special train [was made available] and Nazi officials accompanied' a group of emigrants, ostensibly headed for Zionist training farms in Yugoslavia, to see them safely across the border.)

New First Comment from Dan Butler:

A question, would you say that Hollywood and television's persistent Holocaust and other persecuted Jews narratives are aimed just as much at fostering Jewish paranoia as it is for sustaining European guilt and American sympathy?    

When I was in college in Illinois, a Jewish student got an acceptance letter to teach at a college in Georgia.  He asked me, "you grew up in the south. Will the KKK burn a cross on my yard?"   He was serious.  At the time I thought it was just funny, but now I wish I'd asked him what stories he'd been told to make him afraid of travelling south of the Mason Dixon line.  

It seems to me television, some movies, and all magazines contain a lot of propaganda directed at keeping Jews herded inside the proverbial Pale.   Much of it is fear based and just as transparent as the phony 'race war' propaganda that's been aimed at blacks and whites the last few years.  

On the other hand, the Israeli government tipped it's hand in 2011 with a commercial in Hebrew directed at young Israelis in college in the United States, urging them not to marry American Jews.   The ad was pulled due to complaints from American Jewish groups.    Israel gov removes ads 

In the Sunday Gospel, Jesus cuts right through the modern Western tendency to place love in opposition with law, and law in opposition with joy. Jesus joins all three concepts and summons us to a new attitude.

I. Announcement of the Principle – Jesus says, As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.

Note how the Lord joins the three concepts of love, law, and joy. This is precisely the opposite of what Western culture does. The best that Western culture will admit of law is that it is a necessary evil; more routinely it is viewed as an unloving imposition by the powerful on the weak, the hierarchy on the laity, the (evil, oppressive, pharisaical) Church on decent people.

Whereas the modern world disconnects law from love, Jesus links them. How do we both experience and show God’s love? Jesus says that we do so by keeping His commandments. He sets forth a vision whereby we, having experienced God’s love, desire and rejoice in His commands. 

Again, this is quite contrary to modern notions. According to the modern world, a “loving” God has few or no rules. He merely affirms, encourages, accepts, and includes—or so goes the thinking. If someone is confronted by a moral truth that displeases them, their retort may be as simplistic as “God is love.” It implies that God does mind what we do since he is loving and merciful. It also confuses love with mere kindness. Kindness is an aspect of Love, but so is rebuke and correction. No loving parents will simply affirm bad behavior in their children. They will correct them, and, if necessary punish them because they love them. 

Jesus too is  surely loving, especially of sinners. He encourages us, he includes the outcast, and so forth, but He also speaks of sin and rebukes it. He embraces the sinner but directs him to “Sin no more.” He sets forth a demanding moral vision even as He shows mercy. In this Gospel, Jesus joins love and the law, saying that the law brings joy. They are not opposed. It is not an either/or, but a both/and. Jesus was not just the “affirmer in chief” who went about saying nothing but pleasant things. He, and his apostles who spoke for him, also speaks against anger, greed, malice, neglect of the poor, divorce, fornication, adultery, impure thoughts, homosexual acts, lack of faith, revenge, dishonesty, the sin of human respect, false and worldly priorities, and countless other matters.

II. Application of the Principle – The two greatest Commandments that summarize the whole law are to Love God and to love our neighbor. Hence,  to further connect the Law and the Love of God,  we should consider that when we love the Lord, and his love remains in us, that we will love what he loves and who he loves. Hence, with the Lord’s love in us we will love justice, chastity, forgiveness, generosity, and so forth. We will also come to love others more deeply, even those that trouble us. So there comes to us a deep love of the Commandments when we truly love God. We can say, “God has been good to me and I love him. If God wants it, I want it too. If God doesn’t want it neither do I.”  Hence, Jesus says, “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love.”

As for the love of neighbor, here too, the Commandments are essential. They foster a common moral vision that helps us to live together, protect the vulnerable (especially children) and live within accepted boundaries. Good fences make good neighbors and God’s commandments set proper limits and delineate expectations and rights for communal living. Accepting and living the Commandments brings blessings and averts a lot of trouble. We do not keep the Commandments merely for our own sake, but for our families, community, Church and nation. So, keeping the Commandments is a way of loving our neighbor.

Though some see the Commandments as prison walls, they are not. They are defending walls that keep the wolf and devourer, the devil, away.  This too is a way of showing love for our neighbor. What ever we can do to limit the devil’s influence is a blessing not only for us but for others.

III. The Animation of the Principle – In the today’s Gospel, not only does Jesus link love to the keeping of the commandments, but also says that the keeping of the commandments leads to joy: I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.

Of this, I am a witness. When I entered the Seminary nearly forty years ago I was poorly catechized (having been largely reared in the 1970s). I don’t think I could even have listed most of the the Ten Commandments. But as I entered I was amazed at the rich legacy of teaching, truth and wisdom that came from the Scriptures and the teachings of the Church I was studying. God’s truth and law made sense, it was practical, good, true and beautiful. I was animated, thrilled in my soul to learn of it and somewhat angry at how much was denied me in the crazy 1970s. In my life now, I rejoice to study God’s law and truth, to preach it and teach it to others. In it are contained saving truths, and truths that explain the purpose of our life. So many today live without real meaning, and they focus on passing things and fads. But God’s Law is tested and true. It has endured because it makes sense and works. I am mindful of the words of Baruch: Happy are we O Israel, for what pleases God is known to us! (Bar 4:4)

Indeed, O Lord, how I love your law! It is the joy and center of my life. It gives me understanding and purpose. It teaches me your wisdom and summons me to be the man you created me to be. Yes, Lord, it is my immense joy and privilege to proclaim your Law in the great assembly and joyfully announce your wisdom and your decrees. Keep me faithful Lord unto death. 

The Law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy,
making wise the simple.

The precepts of the LORD are right,
bringing joy to the heart;
the commandments of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever;
the judgments of the LORD are true,
and altogether righteous.

They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.

By them indeed Your servant is warned;
in keeping them is great reward.

Psalm 19: 6-11

The FBI is being pressed by members of Congress to investigate the student protests, both for possible foreign financing and for students chanting “Death to America” — a phrase Fox News says is becoming a “key slogan” of the protests. 

There’s just one problem: students never said it. 

I’ve searched, scoured photographs, and waded through social media. There’s no evidence that any of the student demonstrators taking to dozens of college campuses in recent weeks to protest Israel’s war in Gaza said “Death to America.”

The rumor began with a single incident in which an anonymously authored pamphlet found at a University of Michigan encampment contained a passage saying, “Freedom for Palestine means Death to America.” 

That phrase was taken up by Fox News and a number of other news sites. 

“The slogan ‘Death to America’ is seemingly gaining steam among anti-Israel agitators, who have swept across the nation,” Fox News reported.

The claims of a Death to America theme have germinated in right-wing media outlets and even been echoed by more mainstream figures from smug commentator Bill Maher to the Atlantic Magazine, which warned that “every random protester who shouts ‘Death to America’…brings him [Donald Trump] closer to a return to the Oval Office.” Harvard President Emeritus Larry Summers has even called for “close investigations” of the funding sources of the recent protests on college campuses.

Though absent on campus, the one place the Death to America slogan is gaining steam is in Washington, where the hoax has been taken at face value.

Last month, five Republican congresspeople representing Michigan — which has a large Muslim population — sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for an investigation into “Death to America” chants. 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also referenced the phrase in remarks on the Senate floor regarding higher education and judicial nominations. 

“Chants of ‘We are Hamas’ and ‘Death to America’ by students on college campuses are national security threats,” Senator Marsha Blackburn said on X (formerly Twitter). “Put any student who promotes terrorism on behalf of Hamas on the terrorist watchlist.”

As a member of the Senate Judiciary committee, which oversees the FBI, there’s little doubt that Blackburn’s statement reached FBI headquarters — and such ignorance and might even prod them to action. 

There’s already evidence that the Bureau is closely monitoring purported Israel-Hamas related threats.

FBI Director Christopher Wray in March revealed that the Bureau’s counterterrorism division was “urgently” investigating thousands of reported threats related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Wray also said that “we expect that October 7 and the conflict that’s followed will feed a pipeline of radicalization and mobilization for years to come.” 

The White House also recently acknowledged the FBI’s involvement — not just in relation the conflict generally but colleges in particular. On Wednesday, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said that “the DOJ and FBI is going to continue to offer support to universities and colleges in respect to federal laws,” adding: “So, that is something that the DOJ and FBI is doing.”

Since 9/11 in particular, the FBI has maintained close contact with college campuses across the country under a little-known program called the Campus Liaison Initiative. The program designates an FBI agent (or member of a joint terrorism task force) from each of the Bureau’s 56 field offices to coordinate with campus public safety officers in addition to other school personnel at campuses across the country.

The White House, through its many campaigns against anti-semitism, extremism, racism, hate, disinformation, and foreign malign influence has constructed a patch quilt of offenses that to it demands action. It has already stated publicly that the Department of Justice and the FBI are in contact with college and university administrators, and those two agencies, along with the Department of Homeland Security, are already primed to investigate terrorism threats, specifically Hamas and Palestinian extremism on American soil. Investigations hover in the background, as much looking for federal offenses as responding to them. 

None of this is because there is any intelligence validating a controlling foreign hand or financing of the student protests. It is, in fact, the news media frenzy that is the most dangerous. Fox and other conservative outlets repeat the false allegation that the students are chanting “Death to America,” commentators and even members of Congress pick up the claim without checking, social media becomes saturated and the new reality emerges. 

I can imagine right now a meeting on Pennsylvania Avenue in which an official is asking some spy agency to “look into” the allegations. That leads to surveillance and infiltration and pretty soon you have the full force of the national security state involved — all because the news media got it wrong.
