The revenge of Moloch (Baal)
Before I begin, let me inform you that this could simply be the work of my monkey mind.
I am trying to stitch together two events in human history that at fist glace has nothing in parallel. One is a religious event common to all Judeo-Christian religions and the other a geopolitical event. These two events are separated by more than 3000 years of human history and spatially by over 5,800 Miles of land and ocean. If you are wounding how two events separated so much by time and space could be correlated, then wait till you hear what these two events really are to be further surprised.
Ancient Event
The first event happened in the Old Testament period, during the time of Moses. When Moses lead Israelites from the land of Egypt to the promised land of Canaan, at mount Sinai the ten commandments were given to them. The following are the incidents associated with this event according to the bible.
When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God. – Exodus 31:18
Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord." So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. – Exodus 32:2-6
When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it. – Exodus 32:19
Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. Then Moses said, "You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day." – Exodus 32:27-29
Moloch is the name of the bull god. Baal can refer to any god and even to human officials. In Hebrew Bible its often used in that context as a "false god".
In the Hebrew Bible, Gehenna was a valley by Jerusalem, where apostate Israelites and followers of various Baalim and Caananite gods, including Moloch, sacrificed their children by fire (2 Chr. 28:3, 33:6; Jer. 7:31, 19:2–6). – Wikipedia
Jewish extremist in history are often accused of engaging in ritualistic child scarifies. You can check this Youtube video Satanic Ritual Child Sacrifices Exposed for details. Probably these group are followers of a satanic cult who use this identity of Judaism to conceal their activities.
Modern Event
The corresponding modern day event is none other than the 9/11 attack, more specifically the destruction of the twin towers of the world trade center. The following description of the event are taken from Wikipedia.
Two American passenger planes were crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Both towers collapsed within two hours and falling debris, combined with fires that the debris initiated in several surrounding buildings, led to the partial or complete collapse of all the other buildings in the World Trade Center complex. Almost 3,000 people died in the attacks.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of toxic debris containing more than 2,500 contaminants, including known carcinogens, were spread across Lower Manhattan due to the collapse of the Twin Towers. Exposure to the toxins in the debris is alleged to have contributed to fatal or debilitating illnesses among people who were at ground zero. – Wikipedia
By now you could see many similarities between the two events. If not, please be a bit more patient because there are a few more missing pieces in the puzzle. How about the golden calf? The calf had grownup to be a bull and its better know as the "Charging Bull", which is one of the most iconic images of New York and the Wall Street. The Wall Street Bull is a 3,200-kilogram bronze (Yellowish metal) sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that stands in Bowling Green Park near Wall Street in Manhattan, New York City. You can see that the bull is not charging straight into the road ahead but tilting its head towards the direction of the WTC. Its also interesting to note that there is a Mt. Sinai in New York about 50 miles North-East of WTC complex.
The picture show the direction of the charging bull and the location of Mount Sinai in Yew York
The Correlation
So in short, when the Israelite worshiped the bull god (golden calf) Moloch, Moses threw the two stone tables to the ground and destroyed them. Thereafter he killed about 3000 of the offenders who were their own men and women. Then he grounded the golden calf into powder and scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it. Thousands of years afterwards the golden calf is now the bronze bull charging at the twin towers with furry and vengeance. The two buildings which are the symbols of pride of the greatest nation of earth were brought to ground. These two building can be compared to the stone tables of Moses. The 9/11 attack had resulted in the deaths of about 3000 people which many believe is an inside job, just like the Levites killing their own people. The concrete of the two towers were pulverized and scattered several miles in all directions, including into the Hudson river. People were forced to breath and literally eat it. The new twin towers are being reconstructed just as-to remind us of God replacing the broken tablets of Moses. The bull god and its minions had taken revenge after waiting for thousands of years. Their revenge was symbolic as well as brutal. The wars followed resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. However all this could merely be a coincidence and I might need to get more rest.

3 Responses to The revenge of Moloch (Baal)
The Golden Calf was the idol Moloch. Its head was that of a calf, but its body was a furnace. The FIRST Jewish Holocaust was offered to Moloch right after Passover & if you study Exodus 32, Amos 5 & the rest of the Jewish Prophets, you will see that Jews Holocausted their children all through Old Testament times. But it gets worse! If you Google Sanhedrin 64a you will read:
The last Holocaust of Jews was carried out by Nazis, under the instructions of Zionists. They didn't want millions of OLD, SICK, POOR Jews coming to New Israel, because it would destroy their experiment.
In Exodus 32:7-14 the God of Israel tells Moses to go down from the mountain because He wants to wipe the Israelites off the face of the earth & start with a new people. Moses argues with God & slaughters 3,000 of the Israelites (see Exodus 32:21-28). Why? Because they had offered their children as Human Sacrifices to Moloch & continued to do so right through the Bible, even Solomon offered Human Sacrifices to Moloch. The prophet Amos chapter 5 tells us this; see verse 25-27& Acts 7:42-43.
To see what happened we have to study Book of Jeremiah, especially chapter 7. Look at verses 21-27. It is clear that Judaism is corrupt from the beginning & we see that in Exodus 18 it's the Pagan Priest of Median who is organizing Moses not God. The True religion of God is that of God's Prophets.
Talmudic Judaism has come down through the centuries pretending to be God's Chosen People, but as Jesus says in John 8:44-47, they are the children of the devil. Jesus warned His followers to, "Beware the leaven (teachings) of the Pharisees", which we have in English today called the Babylonian Talmud. In it you will read how Talmudic Jews are to offer Human Sacrifices:
Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 64a
Soncino 1961 Edition, page 437
Following the Mishnah is a discussion among the sages. One of the Talmud Sages, Rabbi Ashi, comments as follows:
GEMARA. R. Ashi propounded: What if one caused his blind or sleeping son to pass through, (3) or if he caused his grandson by his son or daughter to pass through? — One at least of these you may solve. For it has been taught: [Any men … that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall he put to death … And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people;] because he hath given of his seed unto Molech. Why is this stated? — Because it is said, there shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire. From this I know it only of his son or daughter. Whence do I know that it applies to his son's son or daughter's son too? From the verse, [And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man] when he giveth of his seed unto Molech [and kill him not: Then I will … cut him off.]
— Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 64b
Soncino 1961 Edition, page 439
Rabbi Dr. Freedman, one of the translators of the Soncino Tractate Sanhedrin, clarifies the passage. In a footnote, Rabbi Dr. Freedman confirms that the Talmud Sages use "seed" to denote living children, in the same sense as the Biblical translators understand the term in the above Biblical quotes. In this footnote, Rabbi Dr. Freedman paraphrases the question from Rabbi Ashi:
3. Is 'thou shalt not cause to pass' applicable only to a son who can naturally pass through himself, but not to a blind or sleeping son, who must be led or carried, or does it apply to all?
Rabbi Dr. Freedman
Other footnotes within the same context clarify the fine point of distinction being drawn in the Mishnah and subsequent debates among the sages:
5. Lev. XVIII, 21. This proves that the offence consists of two parts; (I) formal delivery to the priests, and (2) causing the seed to pass through the fire.
Rabbi Dr. Freedman (2)
5. As two separate offences, proving that giving one's seed to Molech is not idolatry. The differences [sic] is, that if one sacrificed to Molech, or caused his son to pass through the fire to some other deity, he is not punished.
Rabbi Dr. Freedman (3)
Following the Mishnah, Sanhedrin 64a and 64b contain a rousing debate between the Sages concerning:
* the circumstances under which worshipping an idol is idolatry,
* which idols may be worshipped without indulging in idolatry,
* which parts of child sacrifice in what combination are punishable, and
* how children may be sacrificed without violating Leviticus.
If YHWH was REALLY talking to Moshe, then He was the FIRST anti-Semite!
Exodus 32:7-10
7 At the same time, the LORD said to Moses, "Go down from this mountain. Your people, the people you brought out of the land of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin. 8 They have very quickly turned away from what I commanded them to do. They made a calf from melted gold for themselves. They are worshiping that calf and making HUMAN sacrifices to it. The people have said, 'Israel, these are the gods that led you out of Egypt.'"
9 The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and I know that they are very stubborn. They will always turn against me. 10 So now let me DESTROY THEM in anger. Then I will make a great nation from you."

Brainwashed by a parasite
The carpenter ant (genus Campanotus), and the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), have fallen victim to parasitic fungi of the genus Cordyceps, which manipulate the behaviour of their host in order to increase their own chances of reproducing.
The spores of the fungus attach themselves to the external surface of the ant, where they germinate. They then enter the ant's body through the tracheae (the tubes through which insects breathe), via holes in the exoskeleton called spiracles. Fine fungal filaments called mycelia then start to grow inside the ant's body cavity, absorbing the host's soft tissues but avoiding its vital organs.
When the fungus is ready to sporulate, the mycelia grow into the ant's brain. The fungus then produces chemicals which act on the host's brain and alter its perception of pheromones. This causes the ant to climb a plant and, upon reaching the top, to clamp its mandibles around a leaf or leaf stem, thus securing it firmly to what will be its final resting place.
The fungus then devours the ant's brain, killing the host. The fruiting bodies of the fungus sprout from the ant's head, through gaps in the joints of the exoskeleton. Once mature, the fruiting bodies burst, releasing clusters of capsules into the air. These in turn explode on their descent, spreading airborne spores over the surrounding area. These spores then infect other ants, completing the life cycle of the fungus. Depending on the type of fungus and the number of infecting spores, death of an infected insect takes between 4-10 days.
The carpenter ant has been infected by Cordyceps unilateralis, which is but one of thousands of species of entomopathogenic fungi, more than 400 of which belong to the Cordyceps genus. Between them, these parasitic fungi infect at least nine different orders of arthropods, including the Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies), Blattaria (cockroaches), Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas and leafhoppers), Coleoptera (beetles), Phasmida (stick insects), Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). The host range of an individual species is, however, restricted to one species or to a small number of closely related species.
Because they are considered as environmentally safe, natural mortality agents, entomopathogenic fungi are used as biological pesticides to control pest species. For example, Metarhizium anisopliae was first used over 100 years ago to try and control the wheat grain beetle Anisoplia austriaca. More recently, researchers have investigated the use of Metarhizium anisopliae, a species which infects the African mosquito Anopheles gambiae, to control the spread of malaria.
Entomopathogenic fungi are not the only parasites that can modify the behaviour of their hosts. Equally remarkable is the nematomorph hairworm Spinochordodes tellinii, which is also known as the horsehair worm or the gordian worm, because of its resemblance to the knot created by the Phrygian king Gorius. (According to myth, Gordius used his knot to tie a chariot to a pole, and declared that whoever could untie it would rule all of Asia.)
The juvenile gordian worm parasitizes land-living arthropods such as grasshopers, locusts and beetles, but the adult is a free-living aquatic species which can only reproduce in water. Inside the host, the microscopic larvae feed on surrounding tissue, and develop into long worms which can reach up to 4 times the length of the host, and which remain within the body cavity of the host as a long, coiled mass. After metamorphosing, the adult worm induces its host to leave its terrestrial habitat, and to commit suicide by jumping into water and drowning itself, so that the worm can emerge:
David Biron and his colleagues have used proteomics to characterise the proteins synthesized by the gordian worm in order to determine how it manipulates its host's behaviour. They have established that the worm synthesizes proteins which mimic those produced by the insect. These include proteins of the Wnt family, which are involved in the development of the nervous system, as well as others which interfere with the neurotransmitter systems involved in the host's geotactic behaviour (its oriented movements in relation to the Earth's magnetic field).
Because the genes encoding these proteins are contained in the worm's genome, but have a direct effect on the insect's central nervous system when they are expressed, the relationship between the gordian worm and its host is an example of what Richard Dawkins called the extended phenotype, whereby genes expressed by one organism have an effect on the appearance or behaviour of another. (Entomopathogenic fungi and their hosts are also an example of an extended phenotype.)
Incredibly, the gordian worm can survive predation on its host. Parasites use various strategies to survive host predation. For example, some develop quickly, in order to emerge from the host before it is preyed upon. Grasshoppers and crickets are preyed upon by fish and frogs; the gordian worm can escape this predation by wriggling out of the mouth, nose or gills of the predator once it has emerged from a host that has been eaten:
Anti-Semitism was NOT first, but anti-Gentilism. You have heard a lot about Hitler's Nuremberg anti-Jewish laws, with their ban on intermarriage, which the Germans caled race-defilement.
A most intelligent and cultured and open-minded Jew in Budapest once said,
'After all, the Nuremberg laws are only the translation into German of our own Mosaic laws, with their ban on intermarriage with Gentiles'.
Race-antagonism began, not with the Gentiles, but with the Jews. Their religion is based on it. This racial lunacy which you detest in the Germans has possessed the Jews for thousands of years. When they become powerful, they practice it; as they consolidate their position in one trade after another, in one profession or another, the squeeze-out of Gentiles begins. That was why people found, in Berlin and Vienna and Budapest and Prague and Bucharest, newspapers with hardly a Gentile on the editorial staff, theatres owned and managed by Jews presenting Jewish actors and actresses in Jewish plays praised by the Jewish critics of Jewish newspapers, whole streets with hardly a non-Jewish shop in them, whole branches of retail trade monopolized by Jews.
Jews, if you know them well enough and understand these things enough for them to talk openly with you, will admit this. They cannot deny it.
In the beginning was anti-Gentilism. This, not the perfidy of the Gentiles, prevents the assimilation of the Jews. This prevents them from ever becoming Germans or Poles or Italians. This keeps them welded together as alien communities in foreign lands, communities ultimately hostile to the Gentile. In America they have Joint Citizenship.
Is it their Talmudic religion? Yes, and it is the reason why they cannot be assimilated.
Yosef: Gentiles exist only to serve Jews
By JONAH MANDEL
According to Rabbi, the lives of non-Jews in Israel are safeguarded by divinity, to prevent losses to Jews.
The sole purpose of non-Jews is to serve Jews, according to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the head of Shas's Council of Torah Sages and a senior Sephardi adjudicator.
"Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel," he said in his weekly Saturday night sermon on the laws regarding the actions non-Jews are permitted to perform on Shabbat.
According to Yosef, the lives of non-Jews in Israel are safeguarded by divinity, to prevent losses to Jews.
"In Israel, death has no dominion over them… With gentiles, it will be like any person – they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one's donkey would die, they'd lose their money.
This is his servant… That's why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew," Yosef said.
"Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat.
That is why gentiles were created," he added.
Yosef's Saturday night sermons have seen many controversial statements from the 90-year-old rabbi. In August, Yosef caused a diplomatic uproar when he wished a plague upon the Palestinian people and their leaders, a curse he retracted a few weeks later, when he blessed them along with all of Israel's other peace-seeking neighbors.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the head of Shas's Council of Torah Sages and a senior Sephardi adjudicator is a faithful Talmudic Jew. He told the Goyim what Talmudic Jews have ALWAYS believed! This is why Talmudic Jews have been hated since Exodus 32, even YHWH wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth. This was His greatest MISTAKE, that He didn't! They holocausted their children to Moloch in the Wilderness & that is why they spent 40 years in the Wilderness. Solomon holocausted children to Moloch. Polish Jewry were holocausted to Moloch by German Jewry. See Sanhedrin 64a. It teaches Jews how to offer human sacrifices to Moloch, without being guilty – you get someone else to offer the sacrifice. The Nazis were the priests of Moloch offering the HOLOCAUST of Polish Jewry so that Zionoists could get Israel & German Jewry could get rid of Polish Jewry. Get Professor Steven E. Aschheim's book, "Brothers & Strangers". He is professor of history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, ISRAEL.
Maimonides, known as the Rambam( 1135-1204), the greatest Rabbi taught:
"Gentiles with whom we are not at war: One must not directly cause their death, but it is forbidden to save them if they are about to die. For example, if one sees a Gentile falling into the sea, it is forbidden to pull him out, for in Leviticus 19:16 it says, 'You shall not stand by the blood of your neighbor', and that Gentile is not considered your neighbor." – Yad ha-chazaka, the Laws of Murder and Protection of Life.
Incidentally, Maimonides, the man who wrote this, was a medical doctor. The same word for 'neighbor' is used in Leviticus 19:18 in the famous phrase which says,
"Love your neighbor as yourself"; but what this is telling Jews is that since a Gentile is not really a neighbor, they must be left to die.
Let us continue: Maimonides also said,
"One is not permitted to heal Gentiles, even for payment. But if the Jewish doctor is
afraid of them, or if there is concern about arousing hostility, then he may heal for payment, but not free of charge." Yad ha-chazaka, Laws of Idolatry chapter 10
verse 2.
There is something in Orthodox synagogues called ha bierkat ha minim; they call it a blessing, but in reality it is a curse. There is also something known in the synagogue liturgy called the shmona asrey: Jesus is called Yeshu instead of Yeshua; they shorten His name to an acronym to mean 'May His name be blotted out'. They pray that the minim, a collective term for theological dissidents within the Jewish community that included Messianic Jewish believers in Jesus, will be blotted out of the Book of Life. To Jewish Christians, therefore, it is very confusing to see fellow believers who
are in philo-Semitic organizations and the like, lifting up Judaism and shaking
hands with Rabbis. They watch other Christians stand on platforms and give speeches that make it seem as if Judaism is good and Islam is bad. How would you feel if your brethren in Christ stood up on platforms at the Feast of Tabernacles or some such thing, shaking hands with and making speeches on behalf of people who pray that your name and the names of your children would be blotted out of the Book of Life?
Joseph Caro, who compiled the Shulchan Aruch, which is the basic "set table" or codification of chalakik Jewish law, said this:
"A woman in birth is considered like a sick person whose life is in danger, for whom the Sabbath may be violated for any of her needs in giving birth to her child, such as lighting a candle; but one must not assist a non-Jewish woman in giving birth on the Sabbath." Shulchan Aruch, Or Hayim, Law of the Sabbath 330:1, 2.
Hafetz Hayim, (also known as Israel Meir Ha Cohen) 1838-1933, founder of the Avodat Israel, and a 20th-century chalakik authority on chalakah – which is Jewish law – elaborates on the preceding item in his commentary Mishnah Berurah, which means 'the clarification of the Mishnah', said:
"One must not assist a Gentile woman in birth, not even for payment; for in the week-days one assists them in birth only to avoid hostility, and the Magen Abraham (the Shield of Abraham, which is a commentary on the Shulchan Aruch) has written that even where there is concern for hostility, one is only permitted to do activities that do not entail a
violation of the Sabbath; and I want you to know that the more acceptable (literally, more kosher) Jewish doctors do not observe this at all, for every Sabbath they travel many miles to heal Gentiles and they write a prescription personally or prepare medication; but they have no chalakik Jewish law, upon which to base such actions as treating or writing a prescription for a sick Gentile. For even if one is permitted to violate a Rabbinic prohibition in order to prevent Gentile hostility, one is certainly not permitted to violate a Rabbinic prohibition, and they are considered intentional violators of the Sabbath – God spare them."
In a parallel column entitled ha or chalaka, the author of the Mishnah Berurah adds,
"The same law also applies to Moslems (literally Ishmaelites) and even to Karites (Jews who do not accept torah b'al pei- the oral law ). Everyone agrees that one may not violate a Rabbinic prohibition of the Sabbath in order to save their life."
by Samuel Roth
Chapter IV
But what sort of speech is this for a Jew, you are probably asking yourself, by this time? I can see the question half-glimmering in your eyes. My answer must be steel set in granite. The dew of compassion has entirely dried up in my bowels. I am myself a Jew, I know it. But I am a Jew who has been brought to the point where he so loathes his people that he thinks in terms of their destruction. No, it has not escaped me that the destruction of Israel would mean my own end, too. I would not want to survive in a world without Jews. Yet, by God, I don't know how I shall ever again contentedly live with them: I pray for my own effacement as fervently as I pray for theirs. This is a work of terror, and I am trying to make a terribly good job of it. I have taken out the old Jewish carcass to expose it in the sun. I shall rub it till every sore on it shines like a planet of light.
I know how well the Jews have earned the hatred which is in my heart towards them. I do not doubt that they have earned in equally good measure the hatred which the nations entertained towards them since records of such international courtesies have been made. Anti-Semitism is a natural effect of a social cause. I cannot understand why such a deep mystery is made of this simple cause.
The causes of anti-Semitism lie in the very deepest recesses of human nature. They are like pebbles at the bottom of a very deep stream. But the waters of the stream are clear and I have no difficulty making them out.
The first cause of Jew-hatred goes back to the nature of Jewish leadership, a black veil on the conscience of the race. The second goes back to the nature of the people itself, and it is an evil no less foul. The first appears to be an evil without remedy. But the second does not seem to me impossible to deal with.
Beginning with the Lord God of Israel himself, it was the successive leaders of Israel who one by one foregathered and guided the tragic career of the Jews – tragic to the Jews and no less tragic to the neighbouring nations who have suffered them. But we must have been a pretty horrible people to start with. Our major vice of old, as of today, is parasitism. We are a people of vultures living on the labor and the good nature of the rest of the world.
But, despite our faults, we would never have done so much damage to the world if it had not been for our genius for evil leadership. Granted our parasitism. But Parasitism is a virtue as well as an evil. Certain germ-parasites are essential to the steady flow of blood through the arteries of an organic body. Certain social parasites, by the same dispensation, are important to the functioning of the blood of the body politic. The shame of Israel comes not of our being the bankers and the old clothes-men of the world. It comes, rather, of the stupendous hypocrisy and cruelty imposed on us by our fatal leadership, and by us on the rest of the world.
The whole career of Jewry divides itself for me into three distinctive and significant parts. The first was the period of the patriarchs when the Jews were numerically so inferior to the nations about them that they practically never went out to war against them, but depended, for looting them, on the success of such little games as palming off wives as sisters and buying birthrights. The second period was the long national rest in Goshen, and the subsequent flight from Egypt, during which the Jews discovered, to their own amazement, that they had grown into a population of more than two million people. They were now so superior numerically to the little tribes and kingdoms of Arabia, who stood in the way of their march on Canaan, that it was practically no effort to slaughter them. And so they did. This second period lasted about two centuries, to the anguish of a bleeding peninsula. The inevitable followed, and that brings us into the third major division of Jewish history. The wrath of the larger nations to the north and the west of Judea was aroused against the usurpers. One by one they swooped down on the Jews. The tide of conquest turned; it was now the Jews who were slaughtered and taken into captivity almost at will. At one time nearly three quarters of the whole Jewish nation was seized and carried into a captivity from which it was never returned. It took a little time for this "stiff-necked people," as the prophets called them, to realize that once more it was they who were numerically inferior to their enemies. The realization sank in slowly but surely. Wisdom pointed out a reversal of national policy. The time when they could destroy their neighbor-nations by violence being definitely at an end, did they give up the national ghost? Ah, no. For the first of all Jewish creeds is that Jews must live. It does not matter how, by what, or to what end? Jews must live. And so a return was made to the ancient policy of conquest by the more peaceful and delicate methods of cheating, lying and pimping.
See the Jews swinging forth triumphantly out of the haphazard crossing through the Red Sea. Behind them their old neighbors the Egyptians are drowning in the waves loosed by the all-just Lord God of Israel. There is a theory that the parting of the waters of the Sea, and the closing up of the waters, the first to let the Jews go through, and the second to drown their Egyptian pursuers, were part of a great engineering feat worked out by Moses and his advisors. I don't think it makes any difference by what agency this business was accomplished; the nature of it alone is important to bear in mind. And the triumph of the escaped servants, laden with the loot stolen from their masters. Moses and his sister Miriam are singing to Israel. They are singing a new song. It is a song of triumph such as the Hebrews have never sung or listened to before. The people join lustily in the renascence of an old passion—the passion to destroy by violence, hitherto unknown to their cringing natures. Every Jewish crisis seems to have had its particular bitch-Jewess. Miriam was the bitch-Jewess of that crisis.
We can safely set our faces away from the beauty and good voice of Miriam. But the figure of Moses, singing to them in a high voice, and at the same time speaking soothingly to them in a deadly under-tone, is not one to overlook:
"I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted;
The horse and His rider hath He thrown into the Sea.
The Lord is my strength and song,
And He is become my salvation;
This is my God, and I will glorify Him;
My father's God and I will exalt Him.
The Lord is a man of war.
The Lord is His name."
The Lord is highly exalted. But not because he is the Lord of the Universe. Not because he is the creator of heaven and earth. The Lord has been promoted. He has become a doer of much grander deeds. "The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the Sea." The Lord is the hero of Israel's great hour of triumph.
You have heard the voice of Moses singing aloud. Much more terrible is the roll of his voice as he whispers in a soothing undertone:
"You are a holy people. A people superior to and set apart from the rest of the peoples of the earth. For the rest of the people worship idols and images. What are idols and images? Things made out of wood, stone and brass. If the idol is of wood, stone will break him. If he is of stone, brass will crumble him into shapelessness. And if the idol be made of brass a metal stronger than brass will be found to shatter him. But what can be found between Heaven and earth to destroy your God? There he is, your Lord God, high in the sky, where no human being can reach him even with the aid of the eye. There is deep wisdom in having a God whom your neighbor cannot possibly reach either to jostle him or to implore his favors. That is your wisdom, my people; that is your strength. It elevates you to a place so much higher than your ignorant neighbors that you really need give them no consideration whatsoever."
With that music in their ears the Jews proceed to annihilate their neighbors. They go about it like a nation of trained butchers. Nowhere in the history of the world, not even in the story of Timur who "built his ghastly tower of eighty thousand human skulls," is found such sweet relish in sheer butchery. But wait. Something happens to relieve the awful tension of this ghastly song. Moses has gone up unto the mountain of the Lord to arrange a set of laws, for even thieves need a code to go by.
No ordinary Jew is this man Moses. But a mighty big man. A man big enough to go up the whole height of Sinai and get together with the big mogul of the mountain. For forty days they wrestle with the task and during those forty days Moses neither eats, drinks nor sleeps, by way of emulating the big boss who doesn't have to. On the fortieth day the Lord looks up from the tablets of fire, and down the mountains, and turns his dreadful face to Moses in a savage humour. "Look down, Moses."—"Yes, Lord."—"What do you see?"—"The tops of rocks and trees, singed by your last passage down the slope."—Don't you see your precious people, Moses?"—"No, Lord. You forget that my eyes are only human."—"Well, if you could see with my eyes, you'd behold those insects of yours dancing around a calf—a golden calf."—"Ah, the boys are playing again!"—"They made a personal covenant with me, Moses."—"Sure they did. I'm your witness. But what's one or more covenants among good fellows!"—"Moses."—"Yes, my Lord."—"Of what use is it, I ask you, to write laws for such people?"—"Are you asking me? I told you the answer to that one the first time you tried to scare me from behind a burning gooseberry bush."—"I remember. You were right, too, and I knew it. But I was trying to keep a covenant of my own. This time I am going to destroy them, the whole damn lot of them."—"You should have done that in the first place. It would have saved plenty of humiliation all around."—"Well it's not too late to do it now."—"It may not be too late. But this isn't really the right time for it, Lord."—"You're trying to dissuade me Moses. You've become fond of the wretched beggars, and you're trying to dissuade me from destroying them. I tell you I'm going to destroy them, and no one is going to stop me."—"I didn't say you couldn't destroy them, my Lord. I said you shouldn't. And I said that for your sake, not for theirs. Remember when you proposed to me the first time to take them out of Egypt? And how set I was against it? I told you the whole story then, Lord. They're a lousy, thieving quarrelsome people, every bit as like their ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as vermin grown to the stature of men can be. I don't know how you happened to get on such intimate terms with the likes of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I didn't ask you then. I'm not asking you now. We all make our mistakes. But why bother with their foul offspring, I asked? Well, there was that damned covenant. And you would fulfill it, and you've done everything you could to do so. As usual, I let you have your own way about it. You rooted them out of their precious dungheaps in Goshen, even though you had to do it at the expense of all those swell Egyptians, making the green waters of the Nile run red like the nose of Pharaoh after the queen has violently tweaked it for him. Has there been one moment since that terrible day you put me at the head of them in which you weren't sorry for having started the whole affair? Believe me, I loathe them the more every day I see them. Nothing would please me better than to see them utterly destroyed, completely wiped out. Old as I am, I'd lovingly go back to swineherding whenever you can arrange to let me off. But I must think of you, Lord, your reputation. So thinking, I advise you not to do it. Destroy them by all means. But not now. Let them get into Canaan first. You will in that way fulfill your covenant with their vermin-ridden forefathers and save your reputation amongst the nations. Yes, it comes to that. The Egyptians, for instance, think ill enough of you for associating with Jews. If you crush out their loathesome blood here against the desert rocks and sands, what do you think they'll say? They'll say that you fooled the Jews out of Egypt just for the pleasure of squeezing the life out of them in the loneliness of the desert."—The Lord listens, and he softens. Moses is right. It would hurt his reputation abroad if he took it out of the Jews in this out of the way hole. For the time being, he will let them alone. And so he places the golden tablets with his own hands in the arms of Moses and watches ironically the big man's meditative descent down the slope. Moses, lovingly embracing the results of those labors of forty days and forty nights, reaches the foot of the mountain. And now it is his turn to see with naked eyes what the Mogul beheld looking down from his mountain. And seeing the jubilant Jews making gay circles around the golden calf, and singing obscene songs as they danced, the hunger in his belly gnawed savagely into his heart, and anger like a hot brand flamed up in the starved bowels of the man Moses. Up went the great arms clutching the tablets and with such force did he fling them against the rocks at the bottom of Sinai that no one has been able to find a whole fragment of them since that time. Forgotten was the sweet wisdom with which he had dissuaded the Lord from destroying the Jews. In the anger engendered in him by the sight of what had so angered the Lord, he gave the most horrible order for slaughter ever given. Let every man now proceed to kill the man next to him, he cried out, and a hundred and eighty-six thousand Jews had been slain when the anger of Moses had sufficiently subsided for him to countermand the terrible command.[15]
Moses was a big and terrible man. A man whose soul had great spaces in it. Spaces wide enough to contain the leering face of Elohim, forty years of patience in Midbur, and the contemplation of a horde of savages who had no stomach for the uncertainties of the pace he set them. Moses was a man good to look upon, and he must have been beautiful to behold even when, standing at the foot of Sinai, he perceived the Israelites make a thigh-dance around the abomination of gold. But, in his way, Aaron was a man of a deeper and sweeter understanding than that great brother of his who could not find in his vast heart a little patience for the Jewish weakness for idols—even for one little golden calf. Aaron understood. And because he felt that the worship of idols was a good thing for the soul of Israel, even the worship of a golden calf, he countenanced the business of creating it in the absence of Moses.
"See," said the Jews to Aaron, "all the people about us worship idols. There is no way of becoming friendly with the people about us except to get together with them in idol worship. Are we always to do nothing but murder and move on?"
It must have been from words such as these that Aaron understood why the Jews wanted to go back to idol worship. Half of the Old Testament—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (the world's most beautiful farewell oration), Joshua, Judges and Samuel—is a ballad of Israel resting from the labors of following some evil leader to immerse itself in the delights of idolatry.
Read the story for yourself. Moses dies, so the Jews return to idolatry. Joshua, strengthened by the co-operation of Judah, gains dominance over the people, once more the song of the Lord resounds, and more little tribes and nations are hammered into the dust. Joshua dies, and instantly the Jews return to idolatry. Gideon brings them back to God and slaughter, and so the race continues to run with the judges and prophets of Israel leading them to slaughter, and the people making every possible effort to return to idolatry and a peaceful way of living.
The rabbis have, of course, their explanation of this phenomenon. The idea of an immaterial God was too fine to be grasped by an unlettered desert people all by itself. With the help of a leader intoning into their ears they might grasp the idea and hold it. They could be trusted to hold on to the idea only as long as the leader kept his watchful eye on them. Their song master gone, it was only natural that the Jews should slide back into the low state from which they had been uplifted.
But the explanation I am inclined to believe, is the one that must have been in the mind of Aaron when he consented to the making of the golden calf. The Jews, however much they may have enjoyed the violence prophecy required of them, had the gregarious instincts of all other human peoples. They wanted a little companionship, a little conviviality. By imposing on them the idea that they were, by their affinity with the Lord God, too good to associate with the rest of the tribes in Arabia, the Judges and Prophets threw Israel into a fearful loneliness. It might be a very fine thing, thought the Jews, to be a holy people, if you don't happen to be the only holy people. What fun can there possibly be in being God's chosen people, if there is no one you can talk to about it?
All things considered, it is remarkable how the leaders of the Jews continually managed to force them out of the idolatry they so ardently longed for, and which, during the brief spells in which they were permitted to enjoy it unmolested, must have made them feel human again. A savage, ruthless and invulnerable people were those prophets and judges in Israel. Up to our own time the making of an idol is an abomination in Israel. Intermarrying with the gentiles is successfully forbidden by the rabbis, who in our time take the places of the judges and prophets of old, when marrying Jews and Jewesses must be so painful.
With that invisible wall (more formidable than the Great Wall of China which can be seen by the naked eye) erected about them, the Jews marched north, east and west. At one time or another they have been in trouble in almost every branch of what is now the civilized world. England, among the first European countries to be adopted by Jews as their homeland, expelled them bodily and precipitously in the year 1290. Edward I made a great sacrifice when he did that, because the Jews loaned him money at much easier interest than was demanded by the Italian bankers from Lombardy. But that was the way of the Jews. They asked almost nothing for their money from the king of England – so that when the rest of the people complained to him of their heartlessness he would have reason to keep his ears closed to their crying. But there is just so much of the protesting of even the most slavish populace that a king can ignore with safety. Edward I knew that, and when he realized that the patience of England was at an end, he signed the famous edict. So grateful to him for that edict was the population of Britain that even the peasants (whom the Jews had never trusted with money) contributed to a popular subscription of money presented to their king which made it unnecessary for him to ever borrow money again. Edward I booting some fourteen thousand Jews across the English channel, set a fashion that was quickly followed by Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Germany.
The tide of immigration now turned eastward – into Poland, Russia and the other Slavonic nations. But as sure as it had followed them everywhere else, Jew-hatred developed in Poland and in Russia. We have witnessed during the later part of the nineteenth century and during the early years of the twentieth a revival in the east of the virulent anti-Semitism of the west. The hellish tortures of the Inquisition were rivaled by the pogrom and the boycott. France, which dismissed the Jews in the thirteenth century and re-admitted them in the fifteenth, burst into the epic of the Dreyfus case just when Russia was multiplying pogroms. Germany, which had never taken decisive action against the Jews, has broken into such anti-Semitic activity that she may destroy herself in the agony of it.
In the ensuing chapters of this book I shall take up one by one both the alleged and the real causes of anti-Semitism. Here I merely wish to reaffirm the fact that anti-Semitism is so instinctive that it may quite simply be called one of the primal instincts of mankind, one of the important instincts by which the race helps to preserve itself against total destruction. I cannot emphasize the matter too strongly. Anti-Semitism is not, as Jews have tried to make the world believe, an active prejudice. It is a deeply hidden instinct with which every man is born. He remains unconscious of it, as of all other instincts of self preservation, until something happens to awaken it. Just as when something flies in the direction of your eyes, the eyelids close instantly and of their own accord. So swiftly and surely is the instinct of anti-Semitism awakened in man.
If it were true, as the Jews claim, that the gentiles lay violent hands on them purely out of prejudice against their religion, out of envy of their superior commercial genius, how would the Jews ever get into a civilized country to begin with? Have not Jews been admitted from time immemorial, freely, kindly, almost happily by every nation at whose gate they have knocked for admittance? The story of the Jews, as they have themselves written it out, has always gone out ahead of them, to spread through the foreign people and evoke in their minds curiosity and pity. Have the Jews ever had to petition a country for admission – the first time?
Read for yourself the story of the progress of Jewry through Europe and America. Wherever they come they are welcomed, permitted to settle down, and join in the general business of the community. But one by one the industries of the country close to them because of unfair practices – until, it being impossible to longer hold n check the wrath of a betrayed people, there is violence and, invariably, an ignominious ejection of the whole race from the land. There is not a single instance when the Jews have not fully deserved the bitter fruit of the fury of their persecutors. Except possibly what is happening in Germany today. But I shall take up this matter in its proper place.
In those European countries where the Jews have not been reduced to the status of a second rate citizenry (like the Negroes in the south) the feeling against the Jews is increasing swiftly and heading matters decisively in that direction. In Romania and in Austria there is constant street-violence against Jews. In England and in France the influence of the Jews in politics, business and the professions has created an atmosphere so stifling to the natives that a whole press has sprung up in those countries whose sole business is advocating another, but this time permanent expulsion of the Jews. Speaking of the press, I do not think there is a single newspaper in Europe which is friendly to the Jews.
Even in America, the most patient of the western nations, things are coming to a head. It is no secret that the immigration restriction laws passed a generation ago were leveled chiefly against the Jews. Industry after industry has taken steps to exclude Jews as employees. The civil population is chafing under the abuses of Jewish doctors and Jewish lawyers. There is blood in the eye of Uncle Sam as he looks across the ringside at the pudgy, smiling Uncle Moses.
"Just a fencing bout," says Uncle Moses reassuringly.
"Fencing bout hell," growls Uncle Sam. "This is a fight to a finish."
In just such a position a Pharaoh in Egypt once reasoned:
"Behold the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us; come let us deal wisely with them lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land."
It has become the reasoning of every king and congress of every country invaded by the Jewish People. It has never changed because the nature of the Jews has undergone no reasonable change. We are still the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We come to the nations pretending to escape prosecution, we the most deadly prosecutors in all the wretched annals of man.
Apion, in his vicious and lying arguments against the Jews, tried to spread the infamy that the Jews were leprous and instead of running away from Egypt, were really kicked out of it. Apion was probably as great a liar as any Alexandrian rabbi of his day. There is no reason to believe that the Jews were any less healthy than the other wanderers in the wildernesses of Asia and Africa who had the hygienic sagacity to fine-comb their hair at least once every other week. But I remember, in this connection, Franz Oppenheimer's brilliant theory concerning the formation of states. In the beginning, he argues, there are two types of communities from which the state is evolved: the peaceful, un-chartered tillers of the soil who may be compared collectively to the passive female organ: and the bands of wandering marauders whose only means of living is to fall on one or more of these peaceful settlements, enslave them and commercialize their talents and labors. This second type of community he compared to the male. When those two meet, and one penetrates the other, the theory goes on, conception takes place, and there is a blessed event – the birth of a new state. The Jewish nation certainly constitutes a community such as Franz Oppenheimer designates as the male organ. The organ is constantly at work and may be depended on for services in and out of time. But there is a grave difficulty. The organ is diseased. The disease is a sort of moral gonorrhea known as Judaism, and seems to be, alas, incurable. The results of such mating, as any good doctor will tell you, are invariably treacherous and unhealthy. If you are in doubt take a look at any Jew-ridden country in Europe. If you need to be further convinced, take a look at what's happening in America.
[15] You will take notice here that I quote the Bible only when I find that I cannot improve on it.

FYI – This article first appeared on Technorati, December 30,2011: http://technorati.com/entertainment/film/article/berlin-film-festival-2012-berlinale-schedules/
We're in non-stop film season and though most of us are prepping for the New Year, Sundance and in the middle of catching up with our Academy screeners, let's pause for a moment to reflect on the line-up for the upcoming Berlinale taking place February 9-19, 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
The first films accepted into competition or special screenings at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival are a reflection of the increasingly diverse make-up of one of the world's premiere festivals, and that is what compels me and almost 4,000 other journalists to take our yearly trek to Berlin in February. This festival is econd in size and scope only to Cannes and there are, once again, a few must-sees on the slate.
Produced in Indonesia, Spain, the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong/China, the Phillipines, Great Britain, Germany, the USA and France, this year's line-up looks to be very interesting indeed!
"Captive" (aka "Captured") a World Premiere from Director Brillante Mendoza is based on the true story of a foreign aid worker taken hostage by a terrorist group and stars Isabelle Huppert, Katherine Mulville and Marc Zanetta. "Captive" is a co-production from France/Phillipines/Germany/Great Britain. Interesting note: This is the first time in almost 30 years that a Fillipino film is competing for the Gold and Silver Bear at the Berlinale.
"Dictado" ("Childish Games") a World Premiere from Spanish director Antonio Chavarrias (Susanna, Volveras, Las vidas de Cella) stars Juan Diego Botto, Barbara Lennie, Magica Perez is a thriller about a little girl with a dark secret.
The USA weighs in with an International Premiere (out of competition) of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," A Warner Brothers Pictures production featuring an all-star cast with Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Max von Sydow. Thomas Horn plays a nine-year-old whose father dies at the World Trade Center on 9/11 leaving behind a mysterious key. The boy's search for the matching lock takes him on a thrilling quest throughout New York. (Photos courtesy Warner Brothers.)
"Postcards from the Zoo" ("Kebun binatang)" directed by Edwin is a co-production of Indonesia/Germany/HongKong, China and was inspired by his love of giraffs.
Werner Herzog ("Cave of Forgotten Dreams") returns to Germany's premiere fest with "Death Row," a documentary that will have its World Premiere at the Berlinale in 2012.
Farhan Akhtar ("Don") brings his sequel Indian action adventure to the Berlinale with the India/German co-production, "Don-The King is Back," (German premiere) starring Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Om Puri and Florian Lukas.
"Keyhole" was produced in Canada, directed by Guy Maddin "(My Winnipeg") and stars Jason Patric, Isabella Rossellini, Udo Kier and Brooke Palsson (International premiere). Buzz is high on this one even though reviews are mixed. "Keyhole" recently won the Borsos competition for best Canadian feature at the Toronto International Film Festival and is Canada's entry into the current Academy Awards best foreign language film race. Oh, and should I mention that Isabella Rosselini is a prominent player at the Berlinale, even if she isn't on this year's jury panel?
"La chispa de la vida" is a Spanish film by Álex de la Iglesia ("El día de la bestia") featuring Salma Hayek, José Mota, Fernando Tejero, Blanca Portillo, Juan Luis Galiardo (International premiere). See the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JwfxinJkJI
Kevin Macdonald ("The Last King Of Scotland," "Life In A Day," "Touching The Void") showcases "Marley" (as in Bob, not the dog) a documentary from Great Britain/USA (World Premiere). Looking forward to this one (especially for the sure-to-be revealing story of the man behind the music). Kevin, glad you wrestled this one from Jonathan Demme. Marley formed the Wailers 50 years ago and passed away 30 years ago but still holds a place in history as one of raggae's greatest musicians.

"The Flowers of War" ("Ji ling Shi Sa Chai") by Zhang Yimou ("The Red Lantern) from the People's Republic of China will have its international premiere (out of competition). Christian Bale, Ni Ni, and Atsuro Watabe star in this drama about an American posing as a priest during the Nanjing massacre of 1937.

College Players of the Year !
Here are the College Players of the Year 2012, the new, plus a repeat winner, in a year sponsored by Coca Cola !
Abdullah Ashgar Sheikh (USF) – for the past month Abdullah has had a great profile pic – the American College Cricket logo !
Sheikh had a near- MVP performance in the 2012 Nationals. Bowling fast,he took 9 wickets for 115 runs. He scored 268 runs @ 47 runs average, with 3 fifties and a highest score of 88. He also took 5 catches. No wonder he got lots of votes from USF Bulls fans.
At the 2012 South East Regionals his top performances were 21*, 38* & 3 for 9, & 2 for 24.
But it was his promotion of American College Cricket that gave Abdullah the edge, and made him THE College Player of the Year among the outstanding young athletes !
Over Christmas Sheikh got the privilege of playing with Shiv Chanderpaul, putting on a 80 run partnership in a friendly match.
Divya Patel (ASU Red Wolves) – as an all rounder and Captain, Divya shouldered the heavy responsibilities of developing his new team, and getting them to the 2012 Nationals. Then, wanting to play in a Regional, once he heard 2 new colleges nearby had joined American College Cricket, he worked hard to organize the first South Central Regional.
Under Divya's leadership, Arkansas State won the South Central Regional. Patel's on field performances included 70* vs Memphis, and 2 for 27.
Divya was also a top vote getter but most importantly, its student-leaders like Divya Patel who make the American College Cricket movement successful. He is also a candidate for Top Newcomer, Top Club President, & Arkansas State Cricket is a nominee for Top New Club !
Anurag Verma (Texas A & M) broke onto the scene at the 2012 South West Championship as an exciting left handed stroke player who made 44, 67 & 54 with glorious strokes and was a big contributor to Texas A & M winning the first South West Championship. The entire Texas A & M club did a wonderful job of organizing the South West Regional, on their recently acquired cricket field.
At the 2012 Nationals, his team, Texas A & M extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches as Verma helped his team even when he did not score big (e.g a 60 run opening partnership of which he scored 20). He also bowled and had 2 for 25 as his best. In the Semis against York College he was run out for 12 as the Aggies lost.
Additionally Anurag's Aggies team mates & supporters set our Facebook Page afire early with votes for 2012 Player of the Year, and apparently his play impressed someone else, as he got married !
Mohammad Suleman (York College) is one of American College Cricket 's biggest promoters on Facebook, posting articles to his personal FB profile, as well as the York College group.
In 2010, together with Lloyd Jodah,he started the York College club & bowled medium pace,then came back in 2012 in a supporting role, and as a spin bowler. Here are his astonishing bowling stats in 2012 :
Nationals – 4 for 18 vs Houston Cougars, 3 for 12 vs Auburn, 2 for 26 vs NYU-Poly, 3 for 16 vs Cleveland State, 2 for 10 vs Texas A & M, 2 for 23 vs USF
North East Regionals – 2 for 21 vs Princeton, 4 for 14 vs Cornell, 4 for 7 vs Harvard, 1 for 23 vs Rutgers.
His 2 wickets in the Finals, including that of Championship MVP Sai Ramesh, effectively put the brakes on what seemed like a certain win for USF, earning Suleman the Finals MVP Award.
His consistent promotion of American College Cricket on Facebook earned him the opportunity to meet Shiv Chanderpaul, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd,Courtney Walsh and Jimmy Adams and he presented the American College Cricket/TV Asia Award to Brian Lara !
Kartik Radhakrishnan (Virginia Tech) is a batsman and off spinner on the Hokies team that participated in their first National Championship in March. Kartick had a number of key allround performances for the team in 2012: 2 for 19 vs Texas Tech, 21 and 2 for 13 vs Penn State and 50* and 2 for 19 vs UMBC.
Most importantly the work of Kartik and the Club enabled Kartik to break new ground for cricket by being selected as Virginia Tech Male Athlete of the Year 2011 (out of 31 VT Sports Clubs). The VT Cricket Club also is one of the few college clubs with its own cricket field.
At first no votes came in for Kartik, but his supporters later voted in large numbers to boost his candidacy !
Haider Ali (Rutgers) became the first cricket player to hit a century on TV in the US & Canada smashing 119 in 47 balls at a strike rate of 253.19, hitting 11 sixes & 9 fours against Boston University ! He followed it up with 53 in 36 balls vs York College in the Finals – both innings shown on TV Asia in all their splendor ! Ali made 0 & 71 in the preliminary matches.
At the Spring Break Championship he scored 58, 54, 35 and 40 ! In 8 innings in 2012 he scored 430 runs, average 53.75, making Haider the top scorer in college cricket in 2012.
Disappointingly, though a favorite of his team, Haider got practically NO votes from Rutgers players and fans, but his batting was so outstanding that he had to be a College Player of the Year !
Harsh Desai (Ryerson University) – the Ryerson team included a 6'5 (Warren Rajroop) and a 6'3 (Rayyan Pathan) fast bowlers but it was Harsh Desai, at around 5'9 who bowled some superb bouncers, that resulted in wickets ! Not pitched that short, & moving into the chest, they were very difficult to play & Desai was the MVP of that North East tournament, taking 17 wickets !
At the 2012 American College Cricket Spring Break Championship Harsh took 2 wickets for 7 runs, 3 for 6 runs and 2 for 10. In the Quarter Finals when he did not get wickets, Ryerson lost.
A tremendous number of his supporters voted for Harsh to make him a 2012 College Player of the Year.
Sai Ramesh (USF) was the MVP at the 2012 American College Cricket Spring Break Championship. In the Finals Ramesh was leading the USF charge for victory when he was out lbw – the professional way Ramesh took the decision (a correct one) that ended USF's chances of winning the Chanderpaul Trophy, is as a testament to how the game should be played.
Here are his stats from March – he was not able to play in Nov because of his MBA dissertation:
45 & 2 for 12 , 64* & 3 for 23, 46 & 4 for 9 , 20 & 0 for 9,42 & 0 for 21, 42 & 2 for 34 !
Bowling off spin, took 11 wickets for 108 runs. He scored 259 runs @ 51.8 runs average. Sai took 7 catches in front of and behind the wicket, and had 2 run outs !
Someone else also thought he was an MVP – he got married recently !
For the selection of the Players of the Year we added a new feature – fans were able to vote for the nominees (on the AmericanCollegeCricket.com Facebook Page) and this made even it more exciting as supporters of some players voted in large numbers !
As in ALL American College Cricket Awards promotion of American College Cricket (especially on Facebook & Twitter) is VERY important.
The intent is to have about 5 new, plus repeat College Players of the Year. Points accumulated plus voting made it too close to eliminate any of the Players chosen however, and we felt it was more important to honor the Players than to fit an arbitrary number.

Canton Racing Products is covering the LS market so thoroughly that it now offers a front-sump oil pan for Nissan owners who want to drift with a late-model Chevy V8.
"They're just that popular," says Tim Guerra, director of sales at Canton, while showing off a number of new products introduced at the SEMA Show. "We developed LS products early on and they didn't do that well. But in the last two years we see them in all types of applications."
Canton's expanded LS lineup also includes a rear-sump road-racing pan and a new dry-sump pan.
"There's a lot of track time in development behind these pans," says Guerra. "We work closely with racers in their designs."
Most of the pans are available in either aluminum or steel construction, and all are TIG welded. There's a triple block-fitting process to ensure each pan mates up properly with the intended block; plus, all pans are leak tested twice. Steel pans have a gold iridite finish or are power coated.
The wet-sump pans have a 7-to-8-quart capacity, and the baffling is designed for the intended purpose, whether drag racing or road racing. There's also a provision for an external oil filter. The dry-sump pan comes with two scavenge ports, but there is enough room for a third, if needed.
Also for the LS, Canton is offering a line of billet water necks to accommodate a variety of engine swaps. There's a 90-degree swivel neck version as well as a straight with either -16AN or standard hose fittings.
Finally, Canton introduced a new billet coolant cap with a unique scallop design for Ford that fits either stock tanks or a custom Canton tank.

In other educational news – 13 high school students in the PowerPage's home state of Pennsylvania (the Kutztown 13 as they're known) were charged with third-degree felonies for misusing their school-issued Apple iBooks. Their heinous crime? They used the administrator password (which was taped on the back of the computers, no less) to install unauthorized software. Not BitTorrent, not Limewire, but iChat AV. Sheesh.

Under the new coach Jose Mourinho, Oscar has become an undisputed starter at Chelsea and his great performances at Stamford Bridge has not gone unnoticed in Europe. The Ligue 1 side PSG wishes to bring Oscar to Parc des Princes ahead of the World Cup.
As revealed by The Daily Telegraph, PSG are considering a £41.5 million offer for Oscar before the World Cup. Less than a week before hosting Oscar and his Chelsea team-mates for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, PSG have now cranked up the charm offensive in an apparent attempt to turn the head of the Brazilian.
Oscar's Brazilian team mate Lucas Moura has admitted he would love Oscar to join him at the Parc des Princes.
"Oscar is a very good player," said Moura. "A rare talent in today's football, given his qualities. He is very complete and is very smart. We need someone like him at PSG.
"I think he would help us a lot. The more quality players there are, the better it is for the squad. Also, he's a very good friend of mine. I would be very happy if he came to PSG, the club too."
PSG are perhaps undervaluing him at the £41.5 million figure quoted, when factors such as his age, talent and potential are taken into account. It is also being reported that if Chelsea offloads Oscar amid this rumored interest, a portion of his fee will be reinvested while the club uses the remaining funds to push the business forward in these times of Financial Fair Play.
Mourinho agreed to sell Juan Mata to Manchester United in January after making it clear that Oscar is his first-choice number 10 and Hazard has been Chelsea's best player this season.
Recently, another Chelsea star, Eden Hazard was also linked with a move to the French capital. On Hazard, PSG midfielder Cabaye said: "Hazard is the player I'd like to see at PSG. He would do a lot of good to Paris and the league. He's one of the best players against whom I've played."
Chelsea will be suspicious at the timing of the comments from both Moura and Cabaye, ahead of such an important game, and will not appreciate the PSG duo openly courting two of their most important players. Chelsea are adamant that any bids for the duo, from PSG or anywhere else, will be rejected. Both players have three years remaining on their Stamford Bridge contracts, with the club willing to offer them extensions.
Chelsea face PSG in Champions League Quarters in Paris next Wednesday.
THT Verdict:
Given the importance of Oscar in the starting XI of Chelsea and his performance levels this season, it seems highly unlikely that Mourinho will allow this talented Brazilian to go.

From our colleague, Geoff Meyer, comes these words from and about James Stewart and the 2009 FIM World Motocross Grand Prix Series …
As we mentioned recently Tyla Rattray is heading to America, but the biggest news to come out of the off-season is the coming appearances of James Stewart and maybe Chad Reed in the FIM world championship. In a recent interview in MotoX magazine in England Stewart tells of his love of europe and his liking for the european fans. This kid is making friends fast, check it out …
The interview was done by Germany photograph legend Frank Hoppen, and is one of the best interviews I have ever seen and heard from Stewart.
Some of the cool quotes from Stewart are that he doesn't like the security around the Team USA and he wants to fans to be able to get closer. Bring on Italy and the 2009 Motocross of Nations because that race will be full on as the GP riders try and get close to Stewart and Villopoto on a hard pack circuit (which will suit the GP riders).
On a personal note, I expect next years MXoN to be even better than Budds Creek, Ernee and Donington Park. Remember the Fast Cross of years gone, well this will be a similar atmosphere.
Here is what he said about the team security: To be honest it is great to come and race, but I think it is not cool to keep the fans away from us, I love the fans. In Bercy I spent a lot of time with the fans and I really enjoyed that.
Stewart also mentions how he has a new friend in Marc de Reuver. The dutchman and Stewart are now friends, so much so that de Reuver is thinking of inviting the American over to stay in his house in Lommel (Stewart is looking at racing maybe Lommel or Lierop for a GP).
Stewart said: Marc is one of the coolest guys I have met at the race track.
On the Grand Prix riders against the AMA riders Stewart was again humble and complimentary of the GP riders.
Here is what he said: There is no difference between the AMA and GP riders, overall at the MXoN we had the better team. Look I got a 25th, Villopoto a 10th and Ferry a 9th, we didn't dominate and France probably should have won but they got a DNF.
On racing the Grand Prix series, Stewart is looking forward to doing the business against the GP riders.
Here is what he said: I am not sure which ones, but I want to do the USGP for sure, and I want to do some in europe, I want to go over there and race for the win, not holding back at all, I want to go over there and hang it out. If I crash, then I crash. I am not in the series, so I have nothing to lose. It is a victory for the fans.

This recipe packs some serious heat! That's right, I'm talking about the habanero pepper, which in terms of spice, can measure anywhere between 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville heat units (SHU). Das hot, amigos. This dish is for all you chile-heads out there. 'Cause we got to stick together.
Wait, you're telling me that I can turn cauliflower into rice?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you. It's low-carb magic. Cauliflower works incredibly well as a rice substitute because it absorbs flavors very easily, which makes this cruciferous vegetable my veggie MVP. It's also low-carb in a very good way–for reference, an entire pound of cauliflower florets has only 15 net carbs. In comparison, a cup of cooked white rice has 40+ net carbs. Ay Dios mío.
How do I go about this magical transformation?
I'm a big fan of buying frozen cauliflower and then pursuing the microwave + food processor route. What I like best is using a small food processor. It fits nicely in a small kitchen drawer for storage, which is a big plus for apartment dwellers like me. I have tried using a grater, chopping by hand, using the blender, etc. I like cauliflower rice to be quick and easy so I have time to do other things like
watch Netflix work on my fitness.
But doesn't cauliflower taste like… cauliflower?
The trick to making cauliflower rice taste more rice-like is to process it finely (make sure there are no big chunks), and make sure to cook it for at least five minutes on the stove and not just dump some butter + salt and serve. This cooking process will allow all the flavors to intensify and remove any excess water. Years ago when I first started making cauliflower rice, I would try to remove all the excess water by wringing it in a kitchen towel, which leaves annoying towel fibers all over your food and leaves your kitchen towel smelling like cauliflower. There's just no explaining that to house guests.
But I'm scared of habanero peppers.
If you're not quite ready to leap from jalapeños to habaneros, remove the seeds or start out with half a pepper. Habaneros are fruity and delicious and pair very well with the coconut oil in this dish, which adds a bit of sweetness. The heat also mellows out tremendously in the fridge, so another option is to make this dish ahead of time and allow the heat to come down a notch. And of course, make sure to wear disposable gloves when you're handling the peppers. Your non-burning hands of the future will thank you.

1) Is chronic barking really an important issue?
The World Health Organization, along with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Johns Hopkins University, and some of the world's other leading research institutions, have revealed that noise, like that produced by a barking dog, is in fact a potentially debilitating toxin that can severely disrupt the human autonomic and endocrine systems. The fact is, a barking dog next door can do much more than just upset you and keep you awake at night. In just a matter of days, an overly vocal canine living within earshot can produce pronounced symptoms of systemic noise trauma. Over time, a barking dog in a nearby yard can keep your blood pressure high enough for long enough to lead to an early death by way of heart attack or stroke. Nothing could be more important than that.
Also, for some dogs, barking at people is part of a step-by-step, developmental process that results in the animals becoming vicious over time. The City Council will need to recognize that and respond accordingly if we are to have any hope of ever bringing down our enormous number of dog attacks, which are now at epidemic levels.
2) Who is to blame for our region's barking epidemic?
There is no doubt about it whatsoever. The barking problem we have here in Irvine was created by the City Council - three times over. First by their failure to educate the dog owner about the proper parameters of canine socialization. Then again by their failure to screen out the problematic owner before issuing him a license for his dog. Then again a third time by their failure to pass a readily enforceable barking law that would have allowed the problem to have been remedied immediately after it began.
3) How can I best support the efforts of Barking Dogs Los Angeles to restore the acoustic integrity of our region?
Just send an email to email@example.com to let us know that you would like to be placed on our list of supporters. That is all we really need. Nothing else is required of you.
4) Is there any sort of discussion or support group that focuses on the issue of barking dogs?
To converse with like-minded people, both local as well as from our sister organizations as we strategize about how to get our neighborhoods quieted down, or to commiserate about some barking dog nightmare you may currently be experiencing, go to the Barking Dogs Yahoo, Email Discussion Group, where you can correspond with other quiet-loving people by way of email.
5) What strategy do you recommend for getting my neighbor to quiet his dog?
If you have a neighbor with a barking dog and you want to try to solve the problem by dealing with him person to person, your best source of information is Section Two of barkingdogs.net. For advice on how best to quiet your neighbors dog by turning to the law and attempting to work through the legal system, go to Section Three of barkingdogs.net.
6) How can I best quiet my own dog?
For information on how to quiet you own barking dog, go to Section One of barkingdogs.net

Want to know a little about me?
Read on.
I don't spin, dye, or weave. I'd like to, but each day only has 24 hours and knitting alone offers countless avenues of exploration. I do crochet a bit on occasion, though, and sometimes like to incorporate that into my knitting.
Puzzle solver
That's a polite way of saying I don't always accept the standard way of doing things. Instead, I like to ask questions, probe beyond the surface, and figure things out for myself. Which cast on method really is the most stretchy? How do you knit sock heels and toes that really fit?
Chart fanatic
Words are fine, but I'm visually oriented and I think in pictures. It's no surprise, then, that I'm a nut for charts. This chart fanaticism has led to Charts Made Simple and Stitch-Maps.com.
Technique freak
Or you could call me a skill junkie. I collect knitting techniques like some people collect stamps, except I actually use those techniques.
This is an after-effect of being a technique freak, I suppose. Doesn't everyone want to know a handful of ways to start a circular doily? How to hand-wind a perfect ball of yarn? "Of course they do," my subconscious says. Fortunately, my conscious knows effective teaching doesn't happen by accident, so I actively work on my teaching skills. I recognize that different students have different learning styles, and try to adapt to match each student's needs.
I never set out to be a designer, really. But when I started knitting, I didn't know most knitters bought patterns. I had a book that explained how to design, so that's what I did. And I've been designing since.
Yarn snob
You can keep your frou-frou novelty yarns; your squeaky synthetics; your lightly-twisted, short-staple, pill-producing nightmares. Give me minimally-processed natural fibers; spin them firmly into a yarn with stitch definition and staying power. Let the knitting take center stage, be it lace, cables, or colorwork.
Unconventional knitter
I wrap "the other way" when I purl, and I like it that way, thankyouverymuch. I dare you to tell me my stitches are twisted, or my knitting is wrong.
Not afraid of fine gauge
Sweaters in fingering-weight yarn? Bring 'em on!

Abrams' 2nd half helps rally No. 19 Texas past Colorado, 69-67
Published 6:00 pm, Friday, January 18, 2008
AP Sports Writer
Other players scored more points and made bigger shots.
For Texas coach Rick Barnes, no one made bigger plays for the No. 19 Longhorns than Justin Mason, whose tough defense in a 69-67 win over Colorado on Saturday night earned him a return to the starting lineup.
Texas trailed by 13 early in the second half and Mason, a former starter relegated to the bench because of inconsistent play, had two blocks and a steal that Texas turned into points in a second-half run that turned the game.
Texas had just taken the lead when Mason made the defensive plays of the night.
"He has struggled … (but) he was the difference in the game today," Barnes said. "He came out and played like a junkyard dog."
D.J. Augustin scored 25 points and A.J. Abrams added 17, sparking the rally with his 3-point shooting.
A 3-pointer by Abrams gave Texas its first lead at 43-41 and Mason's defense kept the rally going. After Colorado made two free throws, Mason's two blocks and the steal all led to baskets as the Longhorns stretched their lead to six and kept pushing it.
That kind of hustle earned Mason a return to the starting lineup for Texas (14-3, 1-1 Big 12) on Monday night at Oklahoma State, Barnes said.
"Every player goes through tough times in the course of a season," Mason said. "If I'm not scoring, coach expects me to be a leader on the defensive end."
Richard Roby scored 18 points for Colorado (9-8, 1-2), which hit seven 3-pointers in the first half, but none in the second.
Even with Texas' big rally, Colorado nearly clawed its way back at the end.
Connor Atchley's 3-point play with 4:25 to play put Texas up 69-59 but it was the Longhorns' last basket of the game. A jumper by Roby and a layup by Marcus Hall cut the lead to four.
Colorado's last chance came when the Buffaloes forced shot a clock violation with 18 seconds left, but Roby missed a 3-pointer before Levi Knutson's tip-in at the buzzer.
"We got a little sideways there and undisciplined and out of our offense for a few moments," Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik said of Texas' rally.
Texas struggled to score in the first half after wingman Damion James, the Longhorns most consistent scorer of late, went to the bench six minutes in with his second foul. Colorado led 37-28 at halftime and 41-28 early in the second.
Abrams started Texas' rally with a 3-pointer, then converted a 3-point play. James made his first basket, and Atchley started a fast break with a steal and finished it with a putback off James' missed dunk to pull within 41-38.
After a Colorado timeout, Mason hit a layup and Abrams pulled up on a fast break for a 3-pointer, punctuating with the swish with a furious yell as Texas took its first lead.
Colorado looked stunned when Abrams drilled yet another 3-pointer from deep in the left corner.
"We came out (in the second half) and played with more passion and more pride," Abrams said. "We wanted to protect home court."

So Bonds is currently sitting on 750. After tomorrow, the Giants come to Cincy for three games. Sure seems like there are good seats still available. What's the local talk about attendance? Barry is certainly capable of hitting several within a few days, though doubtful he'd do it on the road.
Having said that, after the Reds series, the Giants then go St. Louis for another three games. Then they're home for three, but back on the road for two more series before going back to the Bay area. Where does he end up breaking the record?

WICHITA, Kansas – Fighters with the terrorist group ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, have made a blitzkrieg-like strike into the heart of Iraq in the last week.
The militant group of nearly 5,000 people has occupied Mosul, Tikrit, Fallujah and are now looking to capture Baghdad.
The unrest has some veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom feeling uneasy.
Rex Pennick served as a U.S. Army Specialist during the early parts of the war.
His maintenance unit was responsible for working on conveys and infantry groups.
He says his service of more than a year in the country included poor living conditions and constant attacks from the enemy.
"It was an every day event about, 360 something mortars the time I was there." said Pennick.
The Wichita veteran is one of nearly 2 million American troops that fought in the war.
As he follows the conflict in Iraq, Pennick questions whether the current situation will erase the accomplishments of so many who've fought and died since we first deployed to Iraq in 2001.
"It makes me feel like what we did was a waste and if we go back over there and lose more soldiers, it's going to be another waste," said Pennick.
Pennick adds that he's also hopeful a decision will be made to not deploy to Iraq again.
"The troops that have come back from over there haven't been taken care of and were going to send more over there, to lose troops, and come back injured," said Pennick.
KSN reached out to the group, Gold Star Mothers of Wichita, a group compromised of mothers who've lost a loved one in a war.
Due to the emotional topic, they declined to comment on camera, but did tell KSN they are also hopeful that more boots won't be put on the ground to help the battered country.
