"Issues of World War III" Survey

"How should America handle the development of nuclear power in Iran?" All responses voted in favor of taking military action against Iranian nuclear facilities; there weren't even any ambiguous "other" answers. Here are some excerpted comments:

Factual Background:
A common misunderstanding imagines that Iran is today ruled by a government of religious fanatics who, for the sake of Islam, seem intent on stirring up a Middle East war. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The misperception is rooted partly in the fact that Iran was ruled for several years by Ruhollah Khomeini, a bearded Iranian who managed to misappropriate the title "Ayatollah," normally reserved for the highest leaders of Shi'ite Islam. But Khomeini was actually so anti-religious and anti-Muslim that he was vigorously opposed by the Hakim family in Iraq, the real Ayatollahs of Shi'ite Islam, and by 95 percent of all mullahs (Muslim clerics) in Iran — all of whom supported the pro-Western, anti-Communist (and Israel-friendly) Shah of Iran as the legitimate ruler.

So then who was that bearded Khomeini character?

It was the Communists, not the religious clerics, who backed his revolution in overthrowing the Shah. Khomeini's brother and ardent supporter was an actual member of the Tudeh Party (the Communist party of Iran); his closest advisor was an affiliate of European Communist Parties. Khomeini's revolution was supported by such religious luminaries as the Soviet Union (including hundreds of KGB agents inside Iran); the Tudeh Party; the Communist Party of France; the Communist Party of Italy; the Soviet-controlled Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), especially Yassir Arafat's Marxist wing, Fatah, and George Habash's even more brazenly Marxist wing, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) (both openly anti-Muslim); the Marxist-Leninist Feda'iyin-e Khalq; the equally Marxist-Leninist Mujahedin-e Khalq; and Saddam Hussein, Moscow's (former) puppet ruler of Communist Iraq (and well-known for his suppression of Islamic religion, and of Shi'ites in particular).

Since Khomeini's revolutionaries seized power in 1979, they have been backed not only by the Soviet Union and the PLO, but also by such great defenders of Muslim values as Red China; Communist Syria; the atheist regime of Communist North Korea; and by Mostafa Chamran Savehi, a Berkeley student radical in the 1960s and Trotskyite Communist who founded such notable Marxist groups as Red Shi'ism. The Hezbollah terrorist network, run by Iran to this day, was created by the Soviets using PLO agents. The head of Iranian intelligence, responsible for their worldwide terror operations, is an agent of Soviet Russia. Etc., etc.

One would be hard pressed to find anyone involved in the Iranian revolution who even pretended to be Muslim or religious in any way.

The urban myth that Iran's regime is religious may have originated to some extent in a decision made by the Communists about three years after the Shah's overthrow. Having consolidated Soviet control over the regime and the nation, the most overtly Marxist-Leninist groups in the "government" chose — voluntarily — to stage a "withdrawal" from the regime, allowing it to appear as if it had become less Communist, by virtue of the fact that the Communist-affiliated and -controlled dictator was calling himself an "Ayatollah." From the Communist standpoint, it was necessary to hide their control over Iran for a while, given the potential backlash not only from within Iran (by provoking an anti-Communist uprising) but also by the United States against the Soviet Union. Iran was a valuable capture by Moscow, but they couldn't afford to provoke a reaction against the real source of the problem.

Nevertheless, to this day the Communist Bloc continues to control and arm Iran. Soviet Russia and Red China are supplying the regime with everything from guns and bombs (many of which are forwarded to Soviet-controlled terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and the PLO) to tanks, military aircraft, missiles, and nuclear submarines. And, of course, there's the nuclear weapons capability, being built in Iran entirely by Soviet Russia.

In short, Iran is a fully Communist nation, its Marxism loosely concealed behind a bit of distracting, pseudo-"religious" rhetoric. It serves as a proxy for Soviet and Red Chinese support of revolutionaries, terrorists, and underground financial networks throughout the Middle East and the world, allowing these activities to be blamed on non-existent "religious fanatics" while keeping the Communist Bloc out of the spotlight.

Relevant Torah Principles:
As mentioned numerous times, the Noahide Commandment (for gentiles) of justice also requires action to protect national security. This includes the power to fight wars, including launching pre-emptive attacks. Indeed, the approach that eliminates a threat before it becomes larger and more dangerous, thus saving lives and money, is mandated (not optional) by the Torah, and thus first-strike offensives may often be the only way to proceed.

Analysis:
On its own, the Iranian regime wouldn't amount to any threat at all, nor could it even prop itself up to remain in power. Furthermore, its weapons aren't the problem; Soviet Russia is installing the nuclear capability, and anytime the Soviets would choose to do so, they could simply place ballistic nuclear missiles in Iran, or withdraw them again, or place them back in again at any time. So even if Israel or other countries struck at Iran's nuclear facilities, or if Iran chose to shut them down, it would mean about as much as confiscating a Mafia godfather's pistol and telling him he's a bad boy. Take away the nukes, and the Soviets will simply put them right back.

So the real problem is the Communist Bloc, with Soviet Russia and Red China at the center of the world revolution and the international terror network. Iran, like a number of puppet regimes, is but a finger of the Soviet hand. Which means we must strike with full force at Soviet Russia and Red China.

That means, first and foremost, stopping the flow of American and European economic aid and technology that's arming the Soviet and Red Chinese militaries — and indirectly their stooges in Iran, North Korea, and elsewhere. But to the extent that's not enough to destroy the Communist Bloc regimes, war is the only answer. Nuclear and conventional war. War with no limits, no combat restrictions, no "rules of engagement." The Communist enemy recognizes no such restrictions, and they're not just fighting to win, they're fighting to annihilate all of us, America included.

We have nothing to lose, and our very lives to gain, by all-out war with Moscow and Beijing. And if we turn to G-d for His mercy, promising to eradicate Communist influence from everywhere in the world, we can be sure He will be on our side and give us the victory. But we'd better get moving, because time is running out.

And now for this week's survey question:

What needs to be done to protect against the possibility of biological (germ) warfare?

(1) Stockpile lots of anthrax and smallpox vaccines.
(2) Draw up plans to deploy the military inside America for martial law.
(3) Search harder for Usama bin Laden.
(4) Other

Subversion Alert

This week:
An update on Root & Branch and the Moscow-controlled "Sanhedrin"

Our recent exposure of the Communist network behind the phony "Sanhedrin" and its quiet sponsor, the Root & Branch Association (R & B), has been shaking things up and flushing the evil out to the surface for all to see plainly.

Just days ago, Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi (a bogus "Muslim cleric" profiled in our Feb. 12, 2006 newsletter for his pro-Communist activities, his affiliation with the Communist-front R & B, and his work in subverting the Hasidic Gentile campaign) was named by one of the members of the "Sanhedrin" as a subversive. And that's suddenly triggering the evaporation of the "Sanhedrin's" masquerade.

Rabbi Moshe (Marvin) Antelman is author of To Eliminate the Opiate (an expose of underground secret societies and Communist networks infiltrating Judaism) and serves as a Rav (who makes decisions of Jewish law) as head of his own beis din (rabbinical court). The Moscow-controlled "Sanhedrin" was hoping to co-opt and neutralize Rabbi Antelman, so they appointed him onto the "Sanhedrin," where any possibility of his mobilizing a fight against Communism would be drowned out by up to 70 Soviet-controlled subversives posing as "rabbis."

Inspired at least partly by our exposure of "Sanhedrin" subversives, Rabbi Antelman has been stirring up a hornet's nest in trying to expose and neutralize enemy influence — including naming Palazzi. On Monday (Feb. 6th [correction: March 6th]), Palazzi reacted to the exposure and angrily lashed out at Rabbi Antelman, brazenly referring to the rabbi as "this moron Antelman" and "a LaRouche-like idiot," threatening lawsuits in order to silence him, and applauding a move to expel him from the "Sanhedrin."

Predictably, the Root & Branch Association (R & B) rose to defend Palazzi, an R & B affiliate. "Aryeh" Gallin, an Italian-American gentile posing in recent years as an orthodox Jew who heads R & B, likewise repeatedly called Rabbi Antelman "Idiot Antelman," "Moron Marv," and "The Idiot," and hurled a variety of ugly insults against him, referring to his "impudent and arrogant mouth," his "cluster-bomb style Serial Offender repeated outrages," and accusing him of an inability to spell correctly. All this against a rabbi for simply pointing out the obvious subversive problems with the pro-Communist Palazzi.

More amazingly, both Gallin and Palazzi stuck their feet right into their mouths by accusing Rabbi Antelman of violating the Jewish commandment against slander! Even more ironically, that Biblical commandment refers only to slandering fellow Jews; Palazzi is a Syrian-Italian gentile who does not even claim to have rejected the false religion of Islam in favor of the Noahide Code, and is therefore in the general category of a heathen. Under Jewish Law, Rabbi Antelman's exposure of Palazzi wouldn't be considered a violation of slander rules. Gallin's insults against Rabbi Antelman, in contrast, would constitute a grave violation of Jewish Law — if Gallin were Jewish, of course.

Perhaps more importantly, Gallin unwittingly revealed the close R & B collaboration with (or control over) the phony "Sanhedrin" by the very fact that he admitted being privy to a variety of inner working details of the "Sanhedrin's" operations.

If the report by Gallin and Palazzi is true that the "Sanhedrin" has expelled Rabbi Antelman, then the mask is dropping completely. Soon everyone will see clearly Moscow's hand in the "Sanhedrin's" attempt to hijack Judaism and the Hasidic Gentile campaign.

(Note: The underground Communist apparatus and its aboveground tentacles are actively engaged in subversion in all sectors and institutions of society today. Its agents would dearly love to know the full extent of our information, which would assist their disinformation efforts. Consequently, we do not divulge all our facts or sources. These profiles are intended only as a warning to the wise to monitor the individuals and groups exposed here, and to avoid their influence.)


THE HALL OF SHAME…
Have Some Chabad Shluchim Betrayed Their Rebbe?

This week's example:
Rabbi Boruch Jacobson, Chabad of the Upper East Side, New York, NY

Rabbi Jacobson was presented our PLO-defunding Proclamation last July 7th. He simply refused, but when the JAHG-USA volunteer informed the rabbi that he would be publicly listed as refusing, suddenly Jacobson balked and tried to postpone a decision. The volunteer kept trying over the next couple of weeks. Finally getting hold of Jacobson on July 20th, he confronted him again with the Proclamation, pushing for a final decision. Jacobson just wouldn't give a straight answer. He evaded. He kept changing the subject. He re-asked for the volunteer's name. He interrupted to ask for a minor favor.

But the volunteer wouldn't let go. Thinking maybe the rabbi just didn't get it, he tried yet again on July 27th. Seeing the volunteer just wasn't going to go away, Jacobson grabbed the pen and Proclamation in frustration, arbitrarily crossed out various paragraphs, and put his signature down on the gutted document. Well, Rabbi Jacobson, it doesn't work that way; you can sign the entire thing like any other person does, or you can refuse openly. But you can't hide behind obfuscations.

We're officially listing Jacobson as refusing to sign. He's a coward, pure and simple, who won't stand up for Jewish Law even to save Jewish lives. Perhaps it has something to do with fundraising concerns or the like. But especially in light of more than 200 other rabbis endorsing, including a number of prestigious ones, Jacobson has no excuse. Shame on you, Rabbi Jacobson!

Terrorism Update:

This is a partial rundown of the escalating, U.S.-funded PLO terror war since last week's newsletter:

  • Wednesday: 2 members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (part of the PLO's Fatah organization) shot to death an Israeli gas station manager; 5 Kassam rockets fired from Palestinian Authority (PA)-controlled Gaza (2 exploding near kibbutzim, the other 3 in the ocean or inside Gaza itself); members of the PLO's al-Aqsa Brigades fired at an Israeli in a drive-by shooting, seriously injuring him; 2 firebombs thrown at Israelis; the PLO's al-Aqsa Brigades & the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC, a PLO-controlled group for coordinating terrorism) carried out a bomb attack against an Israeli Army vehicle near Gaza; the PLO's al-Aqsa Brigades kidnapped an Arab working for the United Nations, then released him.
  • Thursday: 6 Kassam missiles fired from PA-controlled Gaza, 1 landing near a kibbutz; 1 truck driver knifed & injured in Jerusalem; 1 terrorist caught carrying a knife; gunshots fired at an Israeli Army bulldozer, damaging the vehicle.
  • Friday: Islamic Jihad (which is aided & coordinated by the PLO) fired 5 Kassam missiles from PA-controlled Gaza (1 exploded in an industrial area, injuring 2 & damaging a building, & 2 others struck around a kibbutz, damaging a cemetery); rioters threw stones, injuring 2 Israeli soldiers; 2 terrorists arrested while possessing 12 Molotov cocktail firebombs & a knife; other rioters burned a police van, smashed windows on several ambulances, & threw stones, injuring 4 police; 1 terrorist in a PLO-controlled refugee camp threw a bomb at Israeli soldiers, & another fired shots at soldiers.
  • Saturday: Stone-throwing attack damaged an Israeli car on the road; rioters threw stones, injuring 1 Israeli soldier & 1 police officer; stones were thrown at an Israeli woman, injuring her.
  • Sunday: At least 8 Kassam missiles fired from PA-controlled Gaza (presumably by Islamic Jihad & the PLO's al-Aqsa Brigades, as usual); 2 knife-carrying terrorists arrested; rioters threw stones, injuring 1 Israeli soldier; 2 terrorists arrested while carrying 7 firebombs, admitting their plan to attack police.
  • Monday: Rioters attacked Israeli soldiers by throwing stones; gunmen shot & injured an Israeli soldier, & threw firebombs; 1 Kassam missile fired from PA-controlled Gaza; a firebomb thrown at an Israeli Army vehicle, injuring the driver; gunshots fired at a car in the West Bank, injuring an Israeli Arab.
  • Today (Tuesday): 1 knife-carrying terrorist caught & arrested; 1 Kassam rocket fired from PA-controlled Gaza; 1 firebomb thrown at an Israeli car on the road; stones & firebombs thrown at Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, injuring 1; a terrorist's pipe bomb exploded before he could use it, leading to his detection & arrest; other terrorists threw 2 pipe bombs at Israeli border guards; rocks thrown at an ambulance, damaging it (ambulances in the West Bank & Gaza are typically attacked this way); 2 terrorists with a knife and bullets were arrested, then admitted their plan to murder a solider; 2 terrorists caught trying to sneak into Israel.
  • During the 2 weeks ending March 2nd: A total of more than 35 shootings, 50 firebombs, & 220 stone-throwings.

This week's casualty count (not counting dead & injured terrorists):

  • Successful: 1 murdered; 18 injured; 1 kidnapped; 1 bulldozer, 1 police van, several ambulances, 1 car, 1 cemetery, & 1 industrial building damaged
  • Prevented: 4 knifings; several firebombings; 2 bombings; 1 assassination; 1 unspecified attack
  • Attempted but failed to hit targets: 21 missiles; 3 firebombings; 2 bombings; 1 shooting; 1 stone-throwing

As we predicted, the Bush Administration is doing everything possible to maintain PLO funding even in the face of Hamas being installed in power over the PLO's Palestinian Authority (PA). American money is flowing through the back door to the PA, Bush's representatives are negotiating for front-door funding, and feelers are being extended to see if Hamas itself could be legitimized and funded directly. Bush loves the PLO and its allies, and the bleeding of our money to the terrorists simply won't stop until Congress steps in. That's why you must personally get involved with the JAHG-USA campaign to defund the PLO.

We can't afford to wait much longer. PLO terrorism isn't just about firebombs and Kassam rockets; it's a preparation for the introduction of numerous divisions of the Soviet Red Army, the Red Chinese People's Liberation Army, and other Communist Bloc military forces into PLO-controlled territories for a massive, all-out invasion aimed at the extermination of Israel and Israelis (Ch"V).

Don't let it be said that you were silent in the days leading up to the second Holocaust.

…AND THE HALL OF FAME
Some Chabad Shluchim Are Helping the JAHG-USA Campaign

This week's examples:
Rabbi Berel Levitin, Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy, New Haven, CT; and
Rabbi Yerachmiel Benjaminson, Tzivos Hashem, Brooklyn, NY

Rabbi Levitin was approached by a volunteer on behalf of JAHG-USA last July 7th, the same day as "refusenik" Rabbi Jacobson (profiled above). Unlike Jacobson, Rabbi Levitin promptly signed. Both Rabbis Jacobson and Levitin work in outreach programs of Chabad Houses; Rabbi Levitin teaches Jewish children in Connecticut. But Rabbi Levitin didn't see any reason not to speak out in endorsement of this Torah-mandated campaign against PLO funding, which only makes Rabbi Jacobson look all the worse.

Rabbi Benjaminson was presented the Proclamation also on July 7th; he signed it when the volunteer returned the next day. Rabbi Benjaminson runs a major Lubavitch youth program that performs outreach to non-observant Jewish children all over the world. One of his leading co-workers, Dr. Dovid S. Pape, has also endorsed the campaign, so together they're setting a good example for Jews everywhere.

TURN IN YOUR RABBI!
We need more volunteers to approach rabbis for endorsements of the PLO-defunding campaign. Whether your rabbi is Chabad, Littvoch ("misnagged"), modern orthodox, Sefardi, or with some other Hasidic movement, and regardless of what country he is in, you need to get his signature. E-mail us at newsletter@noahide.com for copies of the Proclamation and for information on how to approach your rabbi.
