Judging Jews by the Torah

Re: Good Jews oppose Obama

Where do you have the chutzpah to say anything about what is or isn't a "good Jew"?

Ever hear of the Torah? It's the standard I go by, as do good Jews.

The last I looked, you're a goy pretending to be something you aren't while at the same time denying what you are and why you're banned from ever setting foot in Israel again!

Apparently you have problems with your eyes as well as your ears because I am of the Israelite tribes of Joseph and Judah. If you still don't know the difference between the two, go educate yourself.

Joseph isn't Jewish!

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?

The Israeli government informed Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio I was eligible to return in 2005. Don't facts matter in your world?

Blow Up the Mosques or An Expired Visa?

Israel sets date for 2005

I wish the Mossad would put you out of our misery once and for all.

How hateful your multiple personalities appear to be! It's sad the plain truth of my posts obviously disturbs your darkness. Shame on you for aiding and abetting the Nazi Muslim occupation of Judaism's holiest site - the TEMPLE Mount. Thankfully, the Temple Mount will soon be restored as the TEMPLE Mount and all your unclean kind, like so much chaff, will be swept away, history.

We're in the Times of the Gentiles!

Shamefully, every one of the Sabbath-keeping Church of God groups shy away from being as blunt as God when it comes to speaking of races, families and nations, and always make blunted references to the "English-speaking peoples" as the descendants of Jacob-Israel. It appears the Church of God groups are more concerned with being friends of this world, receiving the approval of the politically correct, than daring to share the plain truth of the Bible - an ethnocentric book with its focus on the Family of Jacob-Israel!

Unlike such spiritual cowards, I'm determined to be as "racist" as God's Word teaches me to be to help explain what's going on and testify where it's leading if we fail to remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities.

Is the plain truth too strong? Not according to the Word and Will of God that commands we're to cry aloud and spare not! Not whisper to the world and preach to the choir, singing lullabies as the nation dies in its sleep!

We see the prophecies for the physical descendants of Israel and Judah coming true before our very eyes with militant minorities, with the tail wagging the dog, the animals running the farm, everything upside down and confused and out of order, an unnatural state of domestic and international affairs, with White Israelites maligned, hated, discriminated against and endangered by ungrateful Gentiles, as we've been ungrateful to our Great Creator God (Deuteronomy 28:43).

The brilliant Anglo-Saxon-Celtic influence and dominance in the United States and throughout the civilized world appears to be history for the forseeable future, with dire consequences for all mankind, as non-whites and/or Gentiles rise as we fall. (See Suicide--Or Murder? Kaufmann's Rise and Fall of Anglo-America).

Truly, these are the frightening times the Bible refers to as the beginning of sorrows, leading into the Time of Jacob's Trouble (there's that ethnocentric reference again, even though the whole world will suffer, God focuses on our family), the Great Tribulation - the Times of the Gentiles - that will demand divine intervention to save some Israelites and Jews alive!

We are the ethnic Elect, beloved for the fathers' Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's sakes, for whom the King of the Jews, the King of Israel, will specifically return to save and preserve from extinction! The GOOD NEWS is sent primarily to the Twelve Tribes of Israel and assures us of our NATIONAL DELIVERANCE, not just spiritual salvation. The Two Witnesses will testify to this truth before our captive audience.

Beyond Babylon warned Jews for years!

Israel already forfeited Temple Mount, divided Jerusalem
"The greatest threat, the one that magnifies all others exponentially, is that only a few in Israel or abroad are aware of the real extent of the dangers facing the Jewish country – both from within and without," writes Aaron Klein.

Beyond Babylon has warned many in Israel and abroad for years about Jerusalem's betrayal and rape, as The Jerusalem Post acknowledged when I was unjustly deported from Israel for exposing the German-Vatican plot against Jerusalem and highlighting the plight of the Temple Mount suffering under Nazi Muslim occupation (in an article first published in Jerusalem and read throughout Israel, and now the world).



Jerusalem's Betrayal and Rape

Beyond Babylon: Hard Labor of Love

Re: "Doggerel #89: "I'm Going to Show You... In My Book..."

Beyond Babylon decries the idolatry and immorality, physically and spiritually, of the British-Israelites and Jews - and yes, British-Israelites includes Aussies and Kiwis too! - and compares it to a form of spiritual AIDS, our countries' weakened immune system, our defenses down, inviting attack. (As an aside, I have AIDS now)./

Before Publish America published Beyond Babylon, my friend Carl Brown (fellow Bible believer) and I did everything ourselves from my typing and writing, copying the pages at Kinkos, cutting them, ordering nice covers and then putting it all together, time consuming and expensive, a hard labor of love, which, including postage, brought it to around $6-$7 per book to mail (if I remember correctly and more when mailed overseas), which we did freely to many, as funds were available and donations offered (thank you, to those who blessed us with financial and prayerful assistance), making the most of what we had, doing our best to get the Word out, trusting if we're faithful with the little we had, in God's good time He would increasingly bless us with more and helpers, co-workers.

Before that I simply printed out and mailed out the pages of Beyond Babylon, then someone suggested making it available online when I didn't have a clue about the Internet, but found out quickly and spent around $150 a month using AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe and others, always moving forward, expanding my horizons, reaching out in every way possible, slowly but surely, but never giving up.

Publish America was the first to say yes to BB. Of course I would prefer some big name publisher, with great royalties and advance payment, great publicity and such, but God usually doesn't work that way, does He? After all His Son was born in a barn, in a manger, not the Marriott or Hilton or Sheraton, and Herbert W. Armstrong taught that what God does always starts small and seemingly insignificant.

Malcolm Hoenlein and Howard Rieger Fail the Jewish People Again

URGENT MESSAGE

This past Friday I sent an email to Malcolm Hoenlein (malcolm@conferenceofpresidents.org) and Howard Rieger (howard.rieger@ujc.org), inviting them to debate Dr. Arieh Eldad and Dr. Eugene Narrett. (Please see the email that follows this note.) This past Monday I followed up with a phone call to Malcolm and Howard to confirm that they had received the debate invitation email. I spoke with their assistants and explained the reason for my call. I still have not heard from either of them.

In these perilous times, it is essential for Israel , for the American Jewish community and for America that a full public debate and discussion of Israel’s situation take place. Yet, Diaspora Jewry’s most powerful and established “leaders” have ignored the calls for such an event. By refusing to discuss the issues of extreme importance to American Jews, and by not even acknowledging Knesset Member Eldad’s readiness for such a debate, Hoenlein and Rieger have once again demonstrated that they are unfit for their positions of Jewish leadership.

Most sincerely,

Buddy Macy

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

My email to Malcolm Hoenlein and Howard Rieger, sent Friday, May 30, 2008 :

Subject::Invitation to a Debate with Prof. Arieh Eldad, MD, MK & Dr. Eugene Narrett

The political discussion in America is at a critical stage. In a short time, Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates from the nation's two main political parties will contend before a national audience, debating every critical issue, foreign and domestic.

A ll three of the current contenders for the Presidency endorse turning Judea and Samaria , the heartland of historic Israel , into a " Palestinian State ." This will involve ethnic cleansing of Jews and increased terror, threatening Israel ’s survival and making war inevitable. The fact that this process will be managed by a minority government immersed in scandals makes this all the more disturbing in light of the policy’s current and long-term impacts on all the Jewish people.

The failure of official Jewish leadership to publicly criticize and impede the partitioning of Israel emerged at the 2008 State of the Union address when ALL members of Congress applauded plans to carve a state for the "Palestinians" out of the center of Israel , depriving Jews of ready access to all of our holiest sites. Israel 's position on these vital matters has eroded almost completely. With renewed talk of ceding the Golan Heights the situation worsens further for the continuity and flourishing of Jewish Israel.

Mr. Hoenlein and Mr. Rieger: The Jewish People need to hear its leaders address these matters prominently and to debate them so a full range of views may be heard on the issues of Jewish and Israel ’s survival. We need a public discussion of the way that corrupt Governments in Israel - pressed by successive American Administrations - arm, feed, fuel and otherwise countenance the jihadist war of attrition against the Jewish People in Israel; how land, bought by scores of thousands of Jews is alienated and given over to settlement by Arabs; how Jews are discriminated against by Israeli courts; how they are barred from visiting and praying freely at all of their holiest sites. Few Americans hear about these matters; elaborating them is part of the responsibility of leadership.

Please join General Dr. Arieh Eldad MK to discuss whether you are for or against the Israeli Government’s behavior in the above-referenced matters. The Jewish community and all Americans need to hear your views regarding the Sharon-Olmert governments’ ethnic cleansing of Jews and abandonment of Jews (for example in Sderot, the neighboring villages and even Ashkelon ) which encourage anti-Jewish violence world wide. We must discuss and analyze the posture of weakness that supports the enemy’s baseless claims to Judea and Samaria (contrary to the Geneva Convention of 1949), a surrender which increases contempt for and hatred of Jews. We need a public discussion which challenges media-created factoids that lead Europeans to say that “ Israel is the greatest threat to world peace.” Can we not join in saying that aldquo;Palestinian” State in Judea and Samaria is a terrible threat to good people everywhere? That the very name “ Palestine ” is an imperial fraud which pre-judges and prejudices discussion and thought?

There is great diversity of opinion within the American Jewish community but this range is not being heard in the media and thus, in the nation. From a perusal of the most prominent U.S. media outlets one could gather that the Jews in America favor a two-state "solution" and are in support of the Olmert-Livni-Barak government in Israel . WE BELIEVE THIS IS NOT TRUE AND INVITE YOU TO DISCUSS OR DEBATE THIS VITAL TOPIC WITH US. There is growing sentiment among Jews in America that the two-state “solution” would devastate Israel . As for the Olmert-Livni-Barak government, it is EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR in Israel (for almost two years its “approval ratings” have made this plain) and throughout the Diaspora. We must at least discuss whether its corruption and partition agenda makes it unrepresentative of the Jewish People as well as dangerouto our continuity.

A public debate in the United States can define and analyze the two main streams of Jewish thought in regard to Israel – the idea that peace will arrive only if the Jewish State surrenders more land and expels more Jews, versus the concept that it has never been about 'land for peace'…that the 60-year old battle has always been about the destruction of Israel. The abundant evidence for the latter view deserves an airing.

So we ask the Honorable Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman and professional leader of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and Mr. Howard Rieger, President and CEO of United Jewish Communities, to join us before American Jewry and explain their views regarding Israel and why their views are in the best interest of the Jewish State and Jews around the world.

The Structure of the Debate, and Invitation:

We propose that a two-hour debate, similar in format to one of the Presidential debates, take place on or about June 25^th. You or your appointees would speak for the official American Jewish organizations. Debating you would be retired Brigadier General Dr. Arieh Eldad, MK, head of the HaTikva Party in Israel, and Eugene Narrett, PH.D., Columbia University, a professor of Humanities and writer on geo-politics and the Middle East. Both Dr. Eldad and Dr. Narrett have agreed to participate in this proposed event. The moderator will be agreed upon by both parties. My intent is to have the debate televised nationally on either a commercial or public television network -- to bring this vital discussion to a wide audience.

We ask that you please respond to this invitation by Wednesday, June 4, 2008 . The Jewish People must have an opportunity to make an informed decision on what is best for its future, which includes the survival, flourishing and growth of a Jewish Israel. History shows what the exile did to us…and not only in the 20th century. We can't let it happen again. So we look forward to your response and to a fruitful discussion.

Most sincerely and respectfully,

Buddy Macy

Jews are a stubborn lot

Jews are a stubborn lot

Several years ago, I was praying to our Great Creator God, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel, about our Hebrew roots (the Israelite origins of the West that I'm convinced about as we bear the many biblical birthmarks of fulfilled prophecy concerning the "Lost Ten Tribes"), wondering what specific Israelite tribe I'm from primarily - whether Joseph or Judah (since my ancestry is primarily Celtic and Anglo-Saxon with descent from British and Scottish Royal Families).

Shortly thereafter, I received this letter from my Great Aunt Neva Ort (from my father's side of the family) who had just finished reading Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall --

I got your book and read it. You surely put a lot of work into it! ... I didn't realize you were a Herbert Armstrong follower... I hope your message gets across to the Jews. I was thinking about you this A.M. before I got up. You would make a good Jew. We had a lot of Jewish M.D. One when I was in nursing - Chief of Staff. One pediatrician at Leila - my floor. One neurosurgeon when I was at Blodgett. A whole slew of them when I was in the army. They are a stubborn lot and I think you just might be stubborn enough to be one. Ha! I hope you have a sense of humor!

Good luck with your book. I will pray for the Jews. I'm taking it in for the pastor to read. I think he will enjoy it.

I love you,

Aunt Neva

The Atlantic Times attacks Israel

Israel's Only Way Out: Follow Kahane!
by David Ben-Ariel

Israel must make concessions, Israel must do this, Israel must do that, while the Arabs continue to get away with mass murder and terrorism (while promising peace and feigning ignorance), aided and abetted by the international community.

The Atlantic Times repeats the list of delusional demands upon the Jewish homeland in "The Only Way Out: A Stringent Policy of Peace" that completely ignores history and the facts on the ground: Israel has no peace partners; Israel has no peace but only an ongoing war of attrition; the entire lying "peace process" is all part of the phased destruction of Israel that the Israelis have insanely enabled to continue. This harsh reality will soon blow up in the faces of those who have chosen to remain in a state of denial, repeating the big lie of Palestine as the proffered solution.

"Israel must reach an understanding with Syria," drones the asinine article written by a German Jew in a self-imposed exile from the Promised Land of Israel (contrary to Judaism), and then exposes such an "understanding" amounts to total Israeli surrender of the biblical territories of the Golan Heights (inheritance of Manasseh, son of Joseph) for more worthless promises and toilet paper agreements.

"The Jewish state must completely pull out of the occupied territories, abandon the settlements there and recognize East Jerusalem as the future Palestinian capital."

If Rafael Seligmann, the suicidal author, wants to slit his own throat or offer his head to the Nazi-Muslims, so be it. However, such murderous slander against biblical Judea and Samaria (occupied by covetous Arabs), such hateful incitement against Jewish pioneering communities (let RS take an armed stroll through the destroyed Jewish towns near Gaza, victims of Judenrein policies), and such treacherous talk against Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel, must not be tolerated! A self-respecting Jewish country would rebuke such nonsense (whether its from writers or world leaders) and unequivocally reject such an invitation for disaster.

Shame on Seligmann for his defeatist bile that spewed, "Now that the military option has been exhausted, Israel must safeguard its future through a brave policy of peace." What a schizophrenic statement! Israel has never truly utilized their military option but have always been restrained by world opinion and lucrative bribes.

If the Israelis won't properly defend themselves, they can never enjoy peace but will suffer open season against Israeli men, women, children and babies in strollers with further calls for appeasement and surrender. The German-Jesuit EU knows this full well, and wait in the wings to occupy Jerusalem as "peacekeepers." However, the EU is not a savior but a destroyer. The Vatican purposely exploits the Arab-Jewish conflict to breach Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and will soon influence agents to invoke the accursed UN Resolution 181.

The aforementioned "Seligmann Column" of Jewish self-loathing, deliberate deceit and shameful collaboration with hostile elements, crumbles when examined in the brilliant light of history and the Bible: The Israelis were offered the only way out when Meir Kahane, rabbi and former Knesset Member, reminded them of the Law of Moses that teaches peace through strength, treating sworn enemies like sworn enemies and restoring the Temple Mount (Judaism's holiest site) as the Temple Mount without apology or hesitation (Malachi 4:4).

It's past time the Israelis come to their senses and acknowledge Kahane was right and succeed, following the direction of the Torah, or the Jews will continue to suffer escalating consequences for disobedience and Jerusalem will suffer defeat (Daniel 9:11).

Correspondence with Jonathan in Israel

I read your article on Sabbath keeping and the holy days. I only can say that you are not required to keep them, according to Jewish law

I realize according to traditional Jewish law they say it is not necessary, and some even say we should be put to death! However, the Word of God that such traditions woefully ignore reveal that God has given the holy days to Israel to share with the whole world as they represent God's plan of salvation for all mankind, even as the Third Temple will be a house of prayer for all peoples with no mention of division in Ezekiel between Gentiles and Israelites any longer.

A House of Prayer for All Peoples?

As for the Sabbath, it has been in existence since Creation and Adam and Eve were not Jewish! Just like the dietary laws have been in existence since Creation with Noah taking into the Ark clean animals by seven and unclean animals by two. I prefer the Word of God over Jewish or "Christian" tradition. The prophecies also reveal that King Messiah will command ALL nations to keep the biblical festivals of the LORD or suffer the consequences. This truth is completely contrary to traditional Jewish law and "Christian" tradition.

Hostility Against "Jewish Holidays" to be History!

but in ancient times even many gentile people came to celebrate some major Jewish holy days with us, until repressive laws made that impossible to continue. So you are rekindling an ancient and forgotten path

Actually, the Anglo-Saxons and white peoples of Northwestern Europe are not Gentile - we are Gentilized Israelites. By the grace of God, I am helping to restore our Israelite identity and return our "Lost Ten Tribes" to the biblical ways and holy days and encouraging all to move beyond Babylon.

The Jewish political and religious leaders ought to recognize Joseph and call out to us to join in biblical celebrations in Jerusalem before our Great Creator God like King Hezekiah nobly did.

Jude 1:3
I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints [in Jerusalem, not Rome].

Jeremiah 6:16
"Thus saith Yahweh, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk there in, and ye shall find rest to your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein."

Jeremiah 16:19
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things."

1 Corinthians 10:19-21
19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

"I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people."

2 Chronicles 30:1-11

1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel. 2 For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month. 3 For they could not keep it at the regular time, because a sufficient number of priests had not consecrated themselves, nor had the people gathered together at Jerusalem. 4 And the matter pleased the king and all the assembly. 5 So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner.

6 Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see. 8 Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary [this includes the Land of Israel where Israelite representatives ought to be encouraged to move to], which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. 9 For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

10 So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed at them and mocked them [often this is the same response the servants of God receive today by our proud and stubborn Israelite peoples who prefer their Gentile traditions to biblical truth and by smug Jewish brethren who want to remain exclusivist]. 11 Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

Joseph Isn't Jewish!

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?

Israel and Judah Must Get House in Order Before King Messiah Arrives

I did not know that you had Jewish cousins, but I saw that a family named Israel Ort was in your vicinity on previous census records.

Israel Ort is my great Grandfather on my father's maternal side. I'm at a standstill on my father's paternal side - the Hoover's. My great great Grandfather Abraham Hoover took off with the maid (and left his wife Anne Creeger behind) and has never been found. Some relative contacted me and said he was born in Pennsylvania and such but it doesn't appear sure.

German-American Israelites?

The Family of Joseph Hoover

Your family farm sounds wonderful, and I hope that you will not leave this world without any offspring. Such a kind and devout person as yourself must be duplicated.

I trust God will give me a name in His Kingdom that will last forever. As for this mortal life, I am "gay" (against my religious beliefs) and have AIDS, so it's not likely I'll have any sons or daughters although I would consider such tremendous blessings - unlike so many "sperm donors" (they're not fit to be called fathers as they're not involved in their children's lives and have merely impregnated women).

I pray for you that you will be protected from harm and will prosper and grow in your spiritual path to Hashem.

Such a gracious letter that is most appreciated! May the Eternal bless us to worship Him in His House of Prayer for All Peoples.

Will Jews ever learn?

I just read in the March issue of The Atlantic Times that American Jews of German origin "founded all the major private institutions, both in the United States and Germany, devoted to German-American understanding: the American Council on Germany in New York City; the Atlantik-Brucke originally in Hamburg, then in Bonn and Berlin; the German Marshall Fund and the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies, both in Washington, and the Aspen Institute and the American Academy, both in Berlin" ("German Name, Jewish Family" by Robert G. Livingston).
