The Rebbe explains the mystery of kangurus in Noah's Ark

Yeshive Bochers (Jewish divinity students) love to formulate difficult questions to their teachers. For example: How did an Australian marsupial like the kanguru travel to Mount Ararat and take his reserved seat in the Ark? Flying Quantas? Rabbi, how was that?

Rabbi Moshe Leib the Cohen Halberstadt has the answer.  It goes like that: You know that there is a process called evolution in nature. Yes, Darwinian evolution. There are "initial", antediluvian animals that were in the Ark and survived the flood. There are other animals that were not in the Ark but evolved from the survivors. Now, is the kanguru an antediluvian, initial, root animal, or it evolved after the flood? The distinction is unimportant, the fact is that Australia is full of jumping kangurus, so it definitely must have been one or the other.

BTW, the kanguru meat is not kosher. 

Where is the gold?

Venezuela demanded from the Bank of England to repatriate 14 tons golf of its reserves worth more than $500 million. 

Comments:

(Anon 1): Bet the Bank of England no longer has it. Gold delivery obligations on the fraudulent COMEX have been shunted over to London for months now via an instrument called Exchange for Physical (EFP). You can read Harvey Organ or the GATA website to learn more. Less than five tons of physical gold on the COMEX now. Not enough registered (deliverable) gold to meet demand.

(Anon 2): Good luck with that. Germany tried to get their gold back from the U.S. a few years back, they were told to wait. Then the U.S. set up a deal to show Germany the gold that was actually borrowed from JPM.The growing concern about the gold sitting under Manhattan has become a touchy subject ever since Germany announced earlier this year plans to repatriate its gold from Fed vaults. Some have said the move signifies German mistrust of the Fed. Others argue the Bundesbank is just one of many central banks keen on rebalancing its own gold reserves.

So where does JP Morgan fit in? Months ago ZeroHedge drudged up the fact that JPM-owned 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza has, on its fifth sub-basement, the world's largest bank vault.

You know who else has five sub-basements? The New York Fed. You know what building is across the street from 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza? You guessed it:

Yup. JPM's vault, the largest in the world, is possibly inches away from the Fed's gold vault. Across the street, on the same level underground

J: Years ago I was tempted to speculate in gold but I suspected that COMEX is fake. It looks that I was not the only one. 

Water Cutoff in America

“Water service was cut off to an estimated 1.4 million people living in more than a half-million American households. "  Most did not pay their water bills for more than two years. The data is incomplete and refers to Detroit; New Orleans; Springdale, Arkansas; and Oklahoma's two largest cities, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Private operators did not report the data, so it can be assumed it is widespread.

This is from the wealthiest country in the world, in GNP and in water resources. Must be a social / educational / racial discrimination problem, not a water supply problem.

You can solve the problem taking dance - salsa - classes (see ad).

End of the World

There is a biblical oracle or prophesy that the birth of a perfectly red calf will signal the end of the world. Well, some say it has happened in Israel. Make your preparations.

Horses in Rishon LeZion

Starting another project: a horse ranch in the middle of the city of Rishon LeZion. It is hidden near a farm, still there are those anachronic things in a highly urbanized site in the center of Israel. They will have horses for sport but no races (forbidden). Each horse will have de luxe residence, water and sprinklers. Once more, I asked for too low fees. When asked for an advance cheque, they ran to bring me it before I repent. Imbecile (moi!).

Phase Two Gender Wars: Two Males Reproduce

Here we use pluripotent stem cells derived from somatic cells to combine the haploid genomes from two males to produce viable sons and daughters. Male (XY) mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (Father #1) were used to isolate subclones that had spontaneously lost the Y chromosome to become genetically female (XO). These male-derived XO stem cells were used to generate female chimeras that were bred with genetically distinct males (Father #2), yielding progeny possessing genetic information that was equally derived from both fathers. Thus, functional oocytes can be generated from male somatic cells after reprogramming and spontaneous sex reversal. These findings have novel implications for mammalian reproduction and assisted reproductive technology.

In the experiment above, two males's cells were manipulated to produce viable male and female babies. It was done in the lab, so it can be done everywhere. What are the philosophical and social implications of this new technology? That all the noise about gender (such as separate praying areas at the Wailing Wall) are obsolete like leper islands and blue blood dynasties. The experiment completely transforms the meaning of male and female in mammalian society.

As Nietzsche's Zoroaster said, humans are a bridge towards something different. Increasingly, we have outgrown ourselves. Human, too human, yes:  but at my age I am a bridge to nothing. 

The Red-Dead Seas Desalination Project

The fall of 450 meter between the Red Sea (and the Mediterranean Sea) spontaneously offers the possibility of a large hydro-electric project. During the last 150 years many designs have been published but nothing was done. Shimon Peres linked the generation of electricity with desalination and half-promised that Israel will build it and supply free drinking water to Amman. The "vision" was written into the Jordan-Israel peace accord, mediated by Clinton. The World Bank (aka USA) was to finance the project.

Now the King of Transjordan demands the water. The population of Transjordan has exploded from half a million in 1948 to more than twelve millions. Water is scarce as well as mismanaged. The current configuration of the project takes place entirely on Jordanian territory. What do they need us for? For completing the poker table? No. They are enviously watching as Israel has solved the water supply problem of the "territories", that being our legal obligation as so-called "occupying power", so they wonder, what about us? Are we not Palestinians? Why can't we enjoy the privileges of the "occupied"? Why, why, why?

What if Israel ignores the whole thing as it has been doing lately? We shall have a raving hysterical fit, we shall roll on the floor, we shall shame you in public! No peace! No peace!
