    How Putin Celebrates Christmas
    By Brother Nathanael Kapner
    Copyright 2015

    There’s something magical about a Russian Christmas.

    With snow on the ground and winter on the breaths of the faithful, Russians enjoy their favorite holy day, the birth of our Saviour in festive joy.

    One would think that Russia’s head of state would appear at the Kremlin’s Cathedrals for this special day.

    Not this head of state, Vladimir Putin.

    For like our Saviour born in the little town of Bethlehem, Putin chose a humble village in Voronezh to celebrate the day of Jesus’ birth last Christmas.

    “Except you become as a little child you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven,” said Jesus to his disciples.

    Like a true disciple of Jesus Christ, Putin took his place—not with high officials—but with little children.

    By way of sad contrast, America’s president doesn’t give much credence to Christmas.

    Instead, Obama celebrates Hanukkah with Jews, the same people who crucified our Saviour.

    And not with children did he celebrate, but with a high official, the President of Israel.

    Such is the state of affairs in our Judaized country. America has traded places with Russia.

    I grew up in the 50’s and we went on “Christmas Break” while the Soviets went on “Winter Break.”

    Now it’s the other way around.

    Whereas Russia was once atheist, it is now Christian.

    But America is now Jewish.

    Why else do we see a 40 foot Hanukkah Menorah on the White House lawn every December but not a Nativity Scene to be found.

    But every year, Putin appears on nationwide television wishing his fellow Russians a “Merry Christmas!”

    He’s my Orthodox brother in Christ, and despite how the Jews have stolen Christmas from us, I’m hopeful.

    Yes, the Jews are waging a War on Christmas here in America—the Jewish-led ACLU threatens lawsuits against towns that put up “Merry Christmas” signs—but theirs is a losing battle.

    We’ve got the numbers and we’ve got the Lord Jesus Christ.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS, Bro Nate!

    You should see the 60 foot Menorah in Poughkeepsie!

    Then there’s the blowing of the shofar on the Walkway over the Hudson.

    And since Jews have over run Marist College, the view of the majestic Hudson River from Home Depot’s front door is completely disappearing. But Jews own Home Depot, so they don’t care.

    The Jews are just MURDERING Dutchess County.

    Everywhere one goes, there they are. Uglifying all the land.

    A rabbi on the Glenn Beck show said for the first time in History there is a concentration of Orthodox Jews here in New York greater than anywhere else in the world.

    We’re getting “Jew-sausted”, “Hebrew-weary”, it’s just awful.

    They tear down the humble little houses we can afford and replace them with ugly new houses we can’t afford. Then tell us if we don’t like it …MOVE!

    And that really is their plan. To move us out. They’ve taken over our farms, schools….the school board comprised of ALL JEWS got caught siphoning off money from the public school district over to the yeshivas.

    Then when we make an effort to recover the money they call us anti-Semite.

    It’s a slow, steady assault/displacement happening here.

    I walked THROUGH a group of orthodox Jews, they looked at me with Evil Hatred. I did it to see what they would do. The Yiddish and Hebrew chatter erupted. They were scowling at me.

    Why do they hate me (us). We accepted them. They destroy us.

    WHY?

    Apparently, the Jews unwittingly gave birth to Hitler.

    I see now what Hitler witnessed the Jews doing to the German people.

    I understand completely.

  6. Basil December 20, 2015 @ 1:12 pm

    Amen, brother! Merry Christmas! God bless your work!

    May the world be spared from lunatic Jews and experience True Peace in the coming year.

  7. Stephen December 20, 2015 @ 1:36 pm

    I never cease to be amazed, not so much as the brazen chutzpah of the Jews, in daring to put up a 40-foot Hanukkah menorah on the White House lawn, but in the sheer stupidity of so many millions of “Christians” in Jewmerica who don’t see anything wrong with this.

    God help us all from this strong delusion that has blinded so many people, that they would believe a lie, and take pleasure in so much unrighteousness!

    Best wishes for Christmas.

    “Whereas Russia was once atheist, it is now Christian.” —- BN

    ===========

    Slight correction, BN! The Jew ruled SOVIET was atheistic. Jew ruled Soviet was NOT and never was anything Russian.

    What really happened in Russia 1917 was that the Jews stole the world’s biggest country, then the Jews did everything to turn the Christian Russia into a atheist Jew-ruled Soviet.

    ========

    I am tired of hearing about how evil the Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad is.  He just spent time visiting a Christian church.  Seems as if he is more friendly to Christians than the Israelis are.  He is also a very popular leader among the Syrians.

    Simply put, he seems like a reasonable man.  Much more so than these Islamic rebel groups that the Washington DC ZOG is supporting.

    From AFP:

    Benjamin Satanyahooooo is so full of BS it’s beyond belief.

    Can’t copy text from this page, but 50′000 Iranians are building submarines in Iran, according to the lying creature Satanyahooooo.

    Just look at a map. The tiny water to south Iran is a creek.

    To Both Brother Nathanael and Daniel,

    It is, indeed, a sad day when the Ashkenazi imposters bamboozle the so-called Christians in America into bowing down before a menorah while dutifully removing any semblance of this season that we should be celebrating.

    While this grieves me deeply, I see it as yet another bit of evidence that God’s judgment is befalling this nation, since He warned that ungodliness would be rewarded by a visitation of hoards of godless pagans.

    We are not without hope, however, because He is ever faithful, and His discipline will soon bring this nation to its knees. I look forward in eager anticipation of His righteous judgment, and the return of all His own to true worship of Him alone.

    Okay, I got this one figured out. The “American embassy” in Bagdad is nothing but one big fortress. The whole purpose of this “embassy” is that America is taking care of the Jews businesses in Iraq and to protect sacred little Isrealhell eastern flank.

    A new “Israel” in Libya is exactly going to be the same as the Bagdad “embassy”. Covering Isrealhell’s western flank. Yemen, same thing, covering Isrealhell’s southern flank.

    The Afghanistan “Israel” is to make sure the Jews’ opium drug trade can’t be interfered anymore. And a base to attack Iran from the east.

    The Zionist Jews in Isrealhell don’t even have the manpower to control the small Negev desert. So of course America has to maintain the three “New Israels”.

    =========

    In the video above, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reveals to Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute what apparently is one of his darkest fantasies–a world with three more Israels.

    St. Isaac the Syrian: This Nativity night . . .

    This Nativity night [Christ] bestowed peace on the whole world;
    So let no one threaten;

    This is the night of the Most Gentle One –
    Let no one be cruel;

    This is the night of the Humble One –
    Let no one be proud.

    Now is the day of joy –
    Let us not revenge;

    Now is the day of Good Will –
    Let us not be mean.

    In this Day of Peace –
    Let us not be conquered by anger.

    Today the Bountiful impoverished Himself for our sake;
    So, rich one, invite the poor to your table.

    Today we receive a Gift for which we did not ask;
    So let us give alms to those who implore and beg us.

    This present Day cast open the heavenly doors to our prayers;
    Let us open our door to those who ask our forgiveness.

    Today the DIVINE BEING took upon Himself the seal of our humanity,
    In order for humanity to be decorated by the Seal of DIVINITY.

    — St. Isaac Syrian, Nativity Sermon

    Isaac the Syrian, also called Isaac of Nineveh, lived and wrote during “the golden age of Syriac Christian literature” in the seventh century.

    Cut off by language and politics from the Churches of the Roman Empire and branded “Nestorian,” the Church of the East produced in isolation a rich theological literature which is only now becoming known to outsiders. Yet over the centuries and in all parts of Christendom, Isaac’s works have been read and recommended as unquestionably Orthodox.

    This Holy Father of the 7th century, was born in the region of Qatar on the western shore of the Persian Gulf. Gifted with a keen intellect, he thirsted also for spiritual knowledge, and, when still quite young, entered a monastery with his brother.

    He gained considerable renown as a teacher and came to the attention of the Katholikon Giwargis (George), who ordained him bishop of Ninevah, the former capital of Assyria some distance to the north. For reasons not entirely clear, he requested to abdicate after only five months, and went south to the wilderness of Mount Matout, a refuge for anchorites.

    There he lived as a solitary for many years, in strict asceticism, eating only three loaves a week with some uncooked vegetables. His constant study of the divine writings strained his eyes, and eventually blindness and old age forced him to retire to the monastery of Shabar, where he died and was buried.

    St. Isaac stands out as a theologian of love par excellence even among the saints.

    Who among the Eastern Fathers has written more eloquently, more profoundly about the love of God Almighty than St Isaac the Syrian?

    Once I read that St. Isaac inspired Dostoevsky’s creation of Father Zosima in The Brothers Karamazov.

    “In Isaac’s understanding,” states Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, “God is above all immeasurable love.

    “The conviction that God is love dominates Isaac’s thought: it is the source of his theological opinions, ascetical recommendations and mystical thought” (The Spiritual World of Isaac the Syrian, pp. 35-36).

    Christ is Born!

    Glorify Him!

    Christmas Season in Wadi Al Nasara — Valley of the Christians, Syria

    Not all the suffering and atrocities committed against Christians in Syria broke the will of Al Wadi Nasara.

    Rather, it strengthens their resolution and beliefs in Christ and the New Testament.

    A peaceful people, they wished to remain neutral in the war, but the nihilistic, anti-life Western-backed barbarians with their phony Syrian rebel and black flags invaded the Valley anyway.

    Until the Syrian army was finally able to strengthen their own positions to protect the Valley’s Christians, they were kidnapped, tortured, beheaded, murdered, abused in every way, and then began to fight back forming their own self-defense militias, supported by their Syrian Sunni-Shia-Druze-secular countrymen and women of other paramilitaries of the newly instated National Defense Forces which unified the local fighting groups.

    Most of the Christians who remained in the region didn’t bank on salvation to come from Western Christendom. Certainly not after Ted Cruz spectacularly threw the Eastern Christians to the sharks in September 2014 at the In Defense of Christians Summit for Middle Eastern Christians.

    Those who fled said they would prefer to die in the Valley on their own land they’ve lived on for millenia, opposed to receiving the string-laden Western charity, anyway.

    There is still much to do to rebuild, many are still refugees or displaced persons, but the Christians of the Wadi Al Nasara are not ashamed of their brightly lit public displays of Crosses, Nativity Scenes, Santa Claus, and Christmas trees, community festivals, Church services, and to say Merry Christmas in lights to the world, and wish Peace and Joy on earth.

    The Christians of the Valley were over-run and martyred by a black-flag hell of retrograde murderers and thugs with none of God’s love in them, and Christ never left the Christians. Their suffering was His, their martyrdom to Christ’s glory.

    President Al Assad and loyal Syria stood up as martyrs for the Syrian Christians, and the Christians were given the strength by God to stand up for Syria along with their compatriots.

    And we worry about what the Jews will say. We fear being called names.

    Like God said of the Jew prophets of the great whore – Jerusalem: “they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.” Jer. 23:14.

    He is surely saying the same about the JewSA and Britain. The two Jewish dominated goverments are ridden with pedophiles at the highest levels:

    JewSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGD3wCU6uJk
    Britain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBiwim8X2J0

    Hopefully Vladimer Putin is a man chosen by God to bring an end to this Jewish age and move the world into an entirely new age.

  16. Brother Nathanael December 20, 2015 @ 5:52 pm

    @Kalin

    Yes, “an end to this Jewish age.”

    I feel it coming, I sense it’s going to happen, I’m not in this fight to lose, I’m in this fight to win.

    I’d like to see ALL U.S. Christians help remove the devil’s pitchfork with whatever means is legal or whatever civil disobedience is necessary.

    If black Christians can march and protest to make Civil Rights more palatable to white people, they can certainly march with white Christians to take the devil’s pitchfork off Federal land including Washington D.C.

    Even though Martin Luther King was a communist he still publicly claimed to be a Christian. So get off your self serving butts and help get rid of the devil’s pitchfork that represents the Babylonian Talmud and its teaching that we are all sub human and deserve only to be slaves to Jews!

    The devil’s pitchfork is a far worse symbol than the Confederate flag under which many Jews fought to preserve southern slavery because it’s the main symbol of their extreme racist ideology and the core symbol of apartheid Israel.

    If Jews don’t want a Nativity scene or the Holy Cross on public land, then by all means they don’t have the right to keep the symbol of tyranny and slavery outside the window of Pres. Obama!

  19. Irene Bonney Faulkes December 20, 2015 @ 8:44 pm

    As an Australian I look on the great U.S.A. that has birthed many hundreds of American Christian friends I have known over a life-time.

    They helped rescue us from the Japanese. General MacArthur had his headquarters in my city. My first husband was one of 600 Aussies who won against 12,000 Japanese on the tropical and rugged Kokoda Trail. He would be aghast to know of the Jews in the U.S.A. today.

    We were uninformed but I now know and repine when I read the above comments and continually note the downward spiral of a Jewish controlled nation and its people.

    Its willingly controlled Christian people.

    One concurs with the comments above.

    Now to me there suddenly is hope.

    We covered the Christmas message and have seen how God used the soothsayer Balaam to prophesy that ‘A star shall rise out of Jacob and the scepter shall rise out of Israel’.

    More than two thousand years ago Jesus Christ was born. In the cave He lay sometimes in the arms of the young Virgin Mary and oft in His cradle. Divine light filled the scene as there was ‘God manifest in the flesh’.

    The Great I Am lay there and someone has recorded that He spoke to His mother.

    ‘Mary’, He called, ‘I am Jesus the Son of God, that word which thou didst bring forth according to the declaration of the angel Gabriel to thee, and my father sent me for the salvation of the world’. Mr. Henry Pike, Cambridge, published this in 1697. Eusebius, Athanasius, Chrysostom and Sozomen gave credit to it.

    We remember that glory shone all around as the shepherds in the field heard the acclamation by the Angel. They found Him as told when they arrived at the manger.

    Who was He? Just an ordinary babe?

    Ah, no. There lay the King of Glory, the Eternal Word of God, the Son of Man, the Elect, the Righteous One – the promised Christ and Redeemer.

    He now is in heaven reigning on the right hand of God the Father.

    Then we remember the wise men, the magi, priests and kings of Persia, skilled in astronomy and astrology as they followed the star that out-blazed all others.

    They looked for the King of Israel and found Him.

    On returning home guided by an angel like the star, they told out the glad news to their fellow idolaters.

    Jesus Christ is born. He is for the salvation of we Gentiles.

    Let us honor and worship Him.

    This was the first occasion after the birth of Christ when His gospel of salvation was conveyed. And by the mouths of magician south-sayers!

    Old Testament and New Testament converge in their prophecies about the Bright and Morning Star who was born and shown to them who followed a heavenly star.

    Jesus Christ is that great I Am, the wonderful Savior who is our star.

    So despite the fact that for the first time in 2,000 years Christian Mass will not be celebrated in Mosul, Iraq, as it is in Isil hands, there is hope.

    Somehow light shines and faith arises.

    Putin, Russia, were the first to receive the grace of God in a national way, from darkness of the Jews, the communists to the Light from the Russian Orthodox Church.

    Hope for the world, one must surely believe. Grace again is to be out-poured on other nations.

    Iraq will have its Christians and Syria also.

    The U.S.A. whose President has done a political about-face, could well do a Christian about-face.

    Revival as in Russia could spring forth to turn the darkness in the churches to the light of the veritable truth of the Gospel. And this to be not only regarding the evil Jews in their midst. More importantly it can be in relation to their need to leave the doctrines of devils for the eternal truth of Christ.

    A political storm to obliterate those known evils could then arrive on the national scene.

    One does not know but one sees gleams from the Bright and Morning Star.

    Dear Irene Bonney Faulkes,

    It warmed my heart reading what you wrote. It was like you were describing an Orthodox Icon of the Nativity.

    You might enjoy this interactive on the Antiochean Orthodox Church of North America website:

    The Nativity Icon Explained
    http://www.antiochian.org/icons-explained-nativity

    Troparion (also tropar; plural troparia) is a type of hymn in Byzantine liturgical music, in the Orthodox Church and other Eastern Christian churches. It is a short hymn of one stanza, or one of a series of stanzas; this may carry the further connotation of a hymn interpolated between psalm verses in the church liturgies.

    The Troparion for the Nativity of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ reads:

    Your Nativity, O Christ our God,
    Has shone to the world the Light of wisdom!
    For by it, those who worshipped the stars,
    Were taught by a Star to adore You,
    The Sun of Righteousness,
    And to know You, the Orient from on High.
    O Lord, glory to You!

    In this video the hymn is chanted in various languages and melodies:

    Church Slavonic, English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Albanian, Hungarian, Greek, Ukrainian, Romanian and Japanese
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFcgaN7D5kU

    And here in German, too.
    ( youtube.com/watch?v=-mipUQ0tzx4 )

    I’ve not yet found the Troparion of the Nativity in Chinese, but in time the Chinese Orthodox will put one up. They are still a small community in China.

    Another type of hymn is the Kontakion. It is a type of thematic hymn in the Orthodox Church and other Eastern Christian churches. Originally, the kontakion was an extended poetic homily in verse. The kontakia were so long that the text was rolled up on a pole for use in the services — the genesis of the name kontakion, which means “from the pole” in Greek.

    In current practice, the kontakion has been greatly abbreviated.

    The Kontakion of the Nativity used today is:

    Kontakion — Tone 3

    Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One,
    And the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One!
    Angels with shepherds glorify Him!
    The wise men journey with a star!
    Since for our sake the Eternal God was born as a Little Child!

    According to tradition, Saint Romanos the Melodist (Hymnographer) wrote the first kontakion, the Kontakion for the Birth of Our Lord, by divine inspiration. Saint Romanos established the kontakion in the form it retained for centuries, and he is the most famous composer of kontakia.

    You wrote:

    “The Great I Am lay there and someone has recorded that He spoke to His mother.

    “‘Mary’, He called, ‘I am Jesus the Son of God, that word which thou didst bring forth according to the declaration of the angel Gabriel to thee, and my father sent me for the salvation of the world’. Mr. Henry Pike, Cambridge, published this in 1697. Eusebius, Athanasius, Chrysostom and Sozomen gave credit to it.”

    Very similar wording is actually found in the longer Kontakion of the Nativity of St. Romanos, which takes the form of a poetic dialog between Mary the Theotokos and the Magi. In the Kontakion, the Christ Child directly speaks to His Mother’s mind. It was also later written in the Qur’an that Jesus spoke from the cradle, pointing to a common tradition.

    From St. Romanos Life and a hymn for his feast day, we learn that he was born to a Jewish family in either Emesa (modern-day Homs) or Damascus in Syria. Romanos himself was baptized as a young boy and developed a great love for the house of God.

    When he came of age he served as a verger, lighting the lamps and preparing the censer.

    After moving to Beirut, he was ordained to the diaconate and assigned to the Church of the Resurrection. He had a rather mediocre voice, but his pure and simple heart was filled with love for God, and to assist at the church services gave him the greatest joy.

    During the reign of Emperor Anastasios (491-518), the young deacon moved to Constantinople. He led an ascetic life of prayer and fasting, but in his humility he thought of himself as being rather worldly.

    He had a special love for Mary the Theotokos, and would go at night to pray in the Blachernae Church, which housed the precious omophorion of the Holy Virgin.

    The saintly Patriarch Euthemios loved Romanos for his many virtues, and paid him the same wage as those singers and readers who were more educated and more talented. The latter resented this and derided Romanos for his evident lack of musical and theological training.

    Romanos himself was painfully aware of these defects; he longed for a melodious voice worthy of leading the faithful in praising God.

    It was the day before the Feast of Our Lord’s Nativity, and Saint Romanos was assigned to lead the singing that evening at the All-night Vigil. He was responsible not only for the singing but also for the text of the hymns.

    After everyone had left, he remained in the Blachernae Church and tearfully entreated the Theotokos to help him. Exhausted, he fell asleep with his sorrow.

    In answer to his prayer, the Virgin Mary appeared to him in a dream. She handed him a scroll and said to him gently, “Here, eat this.” Romanos did so and awoke, overcome with joy and the lingering presence of the heavenly visitor.

    When it came time that night for him to sing, Saint Romanos received the patriarch’s blessing and, vested in a special garment reserved for the principal singer, he stepped onto the ambo. He began to sing: “Today the Virgin gives birth to Him Who is above all being . . .”

    The emperor, the patriarch, the clergy-the entire congregation listened in wonder at the profound theology and the clear, sonorous voice which issued forth.

    They all joined in the refrain, “A new-born Babe, the pre-eternal God.”

    Later, Saint Romanos told the patriarch about his vision, and the singers who had made fun of him prostrated themselves in repentance and humbly asked the Saint’s forgiveness.

    With the Kontakion of the Nativity, which has been dated to the year 518, Saint Roman began a period of prolific creativity. Altogether, he wrote as many as one thousand kontakion, celebrating feasts and saints throughout the liturgical year.

    In the words of one scholar, Saint Roman’s compositions successfully combined “the solemnity and dignity of the sermon with the delicacy and liveliness of lyric and dramatic poetry.”

    Merry Christmas, dear Irene Bonnie Faulkes. I hope you’ll enjoy.

    Hello Bro, great one on Putin and Christmas!

    I don’t know if you saw that the jews have just put up this month the world’s largest menorah in Philadelphia on Independence Mall which is right in front of Independence Hall!!!

    This is also right next to the National Museum of American Jewish History which they put there a few years ago:

    Maurice Pinay 12/7/15

    “December 2015, Genocidal Judeo-supremacist organization, Chabad Lubavitch “erected” a 30′ tall menorah in front of the Eiffel Tower which bears no resemblance to the biblical Temple menorah. Neither does their religion bear any resemblance to the Bible.”

    If God punished Russia by allowing it to fall into the tender mercies of the Jews, how much more do you think he will punish America?

  28. Citizenfitz December 21, 2015 @ 4:10 pm

    I just got off the phone with my three DC rep’s offices and asked the following question:

    You know how Christmas has become a battlefield? Every year communities somewhere in America are sued by the ACLU, or the Freedom From Religion Foundation or Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, etc, etc, etc… because they have a cross or Christmas creche on public property.

    And invariably the cross or creche is removed.

    Yet every year in WDC – on public land! – a giant Menorah is erected and lit and no one so much as raises a peep about “separation of church and state”. So, what do you think is going on?

    At that point I allowed them to speak and it became clear they know very well what’s going on and don’t like it.

    Symbols have power – and the giant menorah in front of the White House is a frank statement of power.

    Reading between the lines we can also see that while certain people really hate the cross – they have NO PROBLEM AT ALL with the menorah!

    And the groups that swarm in like locusts every time a creche is erected in some small town in Iowa suddenly become very, very quiet whenever menorahs are being erected…? Well, that says a lot too.

    If you’re not doing more than just pissing and moaning about the Jews here at RJN then you’re part of the problem, you’re not part of the solution.

    Did anyone catch David Duke’s interview with The Young Turks?

    If not, just YouTube “Ex-KKK Grand Wizard David Duke Explains How Jews Control Everything (Interview w/ Cenk Uygur)”

    Duke seems to be losing his touch. He did a great interview with Alex Jones that was taken from the Infowars website and YouTube channel…he did a great interview with Tommy Sotoymayer who is a YouTube personality and also happens to be black, but Duke and Tommy agreed on 95% of topics discussed.

    Duke falls flat with this latest interview. David Duke went on the Young Turks and said Rupert Murdoch isn’t a Jew! I had to write in the comment section on YouTube that he messed up. Murdoch’s mom is a Jew! Terrible, David Duke messed up so many times, that guy Cenk whatever his name is on the Young Turks got the best of him.

    And than Cenk brings up how Hank Paulson was in charge of the major bank at one point (Goldman Sachs or I forget) and how he is a Christian and how he is powerful but he is not a Jew.

    Duke also mentioned how the Koch brothers aren’t Jews which is questionable. The Young Turks interviewer asks duke if Stalin was a Jew, and Duke wouldnt answer the question!

    He should of brought up Kaganovich, the Jew responsible for the millions of deaths attributed to Stalin! Duke wrote a book on Jews and the Soviet Union and he couldn’t answer that question??!!

    Brother Nathanael is our last hope, and we should be focusing on getting him on these shows like Meet the Press and the Young Turks and Infowars.

    Good work Citizenfitz. Anyone that can’t see this is either blind or plain stupid. The Jew is right in your face.

    This is a very interesting blog by a Jew peace activist. He digs up all the dirt the racist Jew supremacist is up to in Isrealhell.

    MS St Louis 1939

    Listen very careful at 0:35 and next 15 seconds. What the Jews say is key factor to understand the whole MS St Louis. There was many other ships like the MS St Louis, but no one got the Jew “media” coverage as MS St Louis.

    And the reason is that the Zionist Jews had decided to make an example of the MS St Louis. The whole point was to make sure that every jew in Europe knew that they could NOT run off to America, Canada or Cuba.

    When Canada Said No: The Abandoned Jews of the MS St. Louis —17 min.

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zv3s81dsByo

    According to this video MS St Louis was outside Florida. The Zionist Jews that ruled America could easily let the Jews into America – but they didn’t. The Zionist Jews made an example of the MS St Louis.

    The Zionist Jews had one major problem, no Jews in Europe wanted to move to Palestine, so the Zionist Jews did everything they could to force the Jews to move to Palestine.

    To understand what I wrote above is the key factor to understand what the Zionist Jews did and did NOT do. Once you understand everything the Zionist Jews did and didn’t do make sense.

    Everything is about forcing the rank and file Jews to move to Palestine. Any Jew who refused to move to Palestine could as well be a dead Jew to the Zionist Jews. And the Zionist Jews would stop at nothing to have it their way – including killing other Jews.

    One way to do that was to close the gateway to the west, America, Canada and Cuba. And that is what MS St Louis was all about.

    Bad Joke at the New York Times

    Connoisseurs of the NY Times’ unending travesties in its treatment of Israeli matters may enjoy–sort of–the latest one, concerning Israel’s assassination of the Hezbollah leader Samir Juntar, by means of long-range rocket attacks that destroyed a five-story residential building in Syria, obviously also killing many innocent civilians.

    Nothing new there: as always, the Israeli way of war.

    However, the headline on the morning edition of the Times read: “Commander of Hezbollah Freed by Israel Dies in Syria”–died peacefully in his sleep, perhaps of old age?

    Apparently that ludicrous headline was too much, even for the NY Times, which evidently had second thoughts—the headline on the evening online edition story was changed: “Commander of Hezbollah Freed by Israel Is Killed in Syria.”
    http://www.jeromeslater.com/2015/12/bad-joke-at-new-york-times.html

    And the psychophant Judeo-christians of the United States of AIPAC and ACLU (USAA) think this evil stupidity is just dandy for their idol, the Chosenite Jewish State, to do.

    Christians believe the birth of Christ is most wonderful.

    All of us should know about the origin of intense hatred of Moslems, for whom Jesus also died.

    This Islamophobia is incited by whom? Maybe we can guess.

    The following lets us know.

    The link is:

    http://jewishbusinessnews.com/2015/02/05/taboola-ceo-adam-singolda-wants-to-show-you-something-your-friends-wont-share-with-you/

    Feb 5, 2015 – Jewish Business News … The company is based in Tel Aviv, and CEO Adam Singolda said the funds would be used to expand offices in Israel and worldwide; it also has locations in Pasadena and Bangkok. Taboola wants to grow further into Italy, France and Japan.

    Singolda said his goal is to work on the “next generation of personalization” to give content providers and advertisers “tools for content recommendation and increase user engagement,” according to Globes.

    This is what is printed and that most Christians read. But please first note — Can we emphasize about Jesus that He is Truth?

    Now go here, read “EDITORIAL: Can a devout Muslim be a good American? NO!”:

    https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/author/2852-editorialboard

    “Taboola” shows up at the bottom left on the webpage.

    A question for us also is: Did Jesus mean there was no hope for most of the vipers he named when He said to them: ‘Your house is left unto you desolate’?

    It would appear so.

    On the other hand, in Indonesia for example, one discovers many hundreds of thousands in their churches who would remark: ‘I was once a Moslem’.

    Jesus was born a Light for the Gentiles.

    In Reply to Hoff (Dec 20,3.13 pm)-

    I was told by an Alawite, originally from Syria, that unlike other Muslims, Alawites celebrate the Christian festivals to a limited extent.

    Of course, most people already know that in the Koran Jesus is given great respect as a prophet. President Assad is Alawite.

    The center of Alawite territory is Latakia, which is very close to Antakya, Hatay Province, Turkey.

    That used to be called “Antioch” and, as some readers here would know, St. Paul ministered to possibly the earliest Christian community outside Palestine, the one at Antioch. But many or even most of those earliest Antioch Christians were actually Jewish.

    Christianity was considered to be a Jewish sect, not a separate religion for the first one or even two hundred years of its existence.

    I do not know but I suspect a similar situation existed in the Iraq area at around the same time.

    Thousands of Jews were taken there in about 700 BC and they possibly formed the nucleus of Babylonia’s first Christian communities. In other words, “Jewish”, ‘Christian”, “Muslim” etc are just religious beliefs, all referred to basically the same ethnic stock of people.

    I Do have a huge problem accepting your positive comments about Putin and his friend Bashar al Assad who should both be indicted for war crimes against humanity.

    Totally unacceptable to me as I am a reborn Christian and killing people is against my beliefs and my religion.

    How can one speak positively about child killers? Totally beyond me how supportive you are of two men who will go down in history as having brought misery to millions of people. You must in supporting them have a mental problem.

    Assad is definitely a very sick psychopath addicted to killing and the shedding of blood as are all serial killers. There is a history of mental illness in the Assad family. One only has to look at Assad’s fathers actions in attacking his own people. There is no doubt a defective gene in the Assad family. Like Hitler with his deranged mind.

    Amazing how much misery one man can bring to his fellow human beings.

    But then it is people like you that allow and encourage people like that to get away with their criminal actions.

  47. Brother Nathanael August 22, 2016 @ 2:00 am

    @David Dade

    Isn’t it amazing how evangelical christians, like yourself obviously, have swallowed (willingly) the Jew-press lies about the honorable Dr Bashar al-Assad?

    But no surprise, your ilk champions all the agendas of the ‘chosen’ crucifiers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    And it’s so easy to list all of those “crimes” that al-Assad has committed, isn’t it?

    But what’s a little bit harder, and I challenge you to do so, is PROVING one single crime that Assad has committed “against his own people” which is nothing less than Jew-inspired bulls##t.

    Tell me dear DD(T), if Assad has committed so many “crimes” against his own people, why then was he elected twice “by his own people” as president of Syria? Hmm. C’mon Mr know-it-all, tell me why, tell me why.

    And don’t you come back with the Jew lie that the elections were rigged. If your eyes, so used to easy assertions bereft of proof, can stand it, take a look at this Article on Syria that’s CHOCK FULL of detailed FACTS:

    http://www.globalresearch.ca/americas-dirty-war-on-syria-bashar-al-assad-and-political-reform/5492661

    Now, let me get on with it. You say you have a Christian conscience? NO, you have a Jew-infected heart.

    Why aren’t you shedding tears for tens of thousands of children that Jewmerica has killed in its wars across the Middle East and Afghanistan?

    Why aren’t you shedding tears for all the Palestinian children who no longer have legs, arms, eyes, due to IsraHells bombings of Gaza?

    Why aren’t you shedding tears for all the Palestinians who’ve had their groves stolen, their wells poisoned, by the colonizing Jews and their Jew abettors who dictate US foreign policy?

    Why aren’t you shedding tears for the 600,000 Iraqi children who died due to Jacob Lew’s (that ‘choosy’ WICKED JEW) sanctions on Iraq?

    Why aren’t you rising up in righteous indignation (you faux ‘christian’ you) against the Jew war-cry: “Assad Must Go” that is the REAL cause of Syrian children’s violent deaths?

    Whatever misdemeanors Assad has committed are nothing compared to the crimes Jewmerica has committed against humanity not only in Syria, but in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen….and it’s enabling of the countless war crimes of IsraHell.

    But you’re so brainwashed, a disease that attaches to evangelical christians like you, that if the Jews killed your own mother you’d still call them the ‘choosy’ people.

    As for your assertion (sans any proof) that Assad has a “defective gene,” I recommend that you take up a very lucrative career (simply keep stating falsehoods) in journalism.

    Write up an Oped on this subject (no proofs are needed) and send it to the Jew York Times (asking for remuneration) and they will not only print it but send you $5 for your brilliant exposure.

    But may I remind you that Dr Bashar al-Assad has a degree in ophthalmology.

    You might want to contact him as well. He, gracious man that he is who protects Orthodox Christians and other denominations in his own country, may be willing to cure you of your unspeakable blindness.
