Israel in the New World Order


 Reading Chinese papers I was surprised by a mention of The Epoch Times publication, which I had never heard about before. I went directly to its website and spent an hour watching a Victor Hanson interview. The professor is very pessimistic, the post-WWII American order is collapsing and the Ukraine war can easily evolve into a worldwide conflagration. Yet he ends with an optimistic vision of America leading a Western alignment, which is much stronger than China alone. 

Alone among Western gurus he said some very ugly but true things about the Ukrainians. For example that half-million Ukrainian volunteers defended the Atlantic coast and when Americans landed, they were "welcomed" by Ukrainian-speaking Wehrmacht soldiers. Putin is right about them being Nazis. It is somewhat amazing to watch the Jewish comic actor hired by the Nazi forces to play the role of their Leader. 

Anyway, some of the remaining Ukrainian Jews that are part of the 5 million Ukrainian refugees are making aliyah instead of moving to Switzerland. Source.  

In 2021 there were some 30,000 new immigrants, and the wave is growing. Israel's population grew 2% year-to-year and we are approaching 7 million Jews here. Natural increase is rising - there is hope ahead. American Jews (as all decent city Whites) are feeling increasingly out of place. Whites are evacuating in mass the cities because of the physical violence, the third-world cultural and political environment, the education centered on woke ideology, the oppressive taxation and legislation. Some Jews are already thinking this it is not for them and their families. 

Shanghai Mystery: Is it Martial Law?


The Authorities have quarantined the whole population of Shanghai, 25 million inhabitants, forbidding them to go out of their apartments without a medical pass.  It is a fantastically well-managed operation. The pic shows the new Baimao makeshift hospital for those identified as infected by the COVID-19 virus. It is an architectural marvel, built with identical factory-made containers, with sanitary installation visible. All rooms air-conditioned. All very standardized and clean. Compare with the leaking tents set up on hospital parking spaces we had here in Israel.  

The mystery is why the Chinese leadership has adopted this total, fanatical quarantine policy, unique in the whole world. Hanania says in a podcast that the reason is that they are unable to produce the immunization vaccine. That is ridiculous. (*) Others say that the Chinese must know something. I know nothing but respect the Chinese and am going out the minimum. 

(*) Maybe it is not. There is no answer for the Omicron variety, and others are certainly evolving. 

P.S.: Maybe the government is preparing the population for the event of a biological attack. Say a new deadly strain appears and there is no time to prepare the immunization vaccine. 

The lockdown also is a form of martial law while convincing the population that it is protecting them against the epidemy.

Lucky Strike


Stock market news live updates: Stocks slide to end April with steep losses, S&P 500 drops 8.8% in the worst month since March 2020


I spent the last two months selling stock to help my daughter R to buy a large apartment in Hod Hasharon. This Friday I finished transferring her the sum agreed upon, and voila, immediately, the NASDAQ and the S&P fell precipitously. That's luck. Apartment prices in Israel, especially in the center, are astronomical. One million dollars is the average. The price of the same 50 km from Tel Aviv is only half or a third. I hope to be rewarded with another beautiful grandkid.

Shanghai in Quarantine


Shanghai has been closed for two weeks and now the panic of the Coronavirus has spread to Beijing, which is being half-closed down.  That and the cherem of Rusia will cause a world recession. 

I had a bad three-day illness caused by Pesach food and a grandkid's panic attack. And the Russian Standard. Once stopped, it is most difficult to re-establish my working routine.

Russia Mentioning Nuclear Weapons

 
Western arming of Ukraine is worrying Russia and they are AGAIN (*) mentioning the fact that they have nuclear weapons and are ready to use them. This is a serious development. If they do, NATO may also use its weapons and we will have a third world war. Once broken the nuclear virginity, the world becomes a frightening balagan. And that will lift the barrier to everybody using nuclear arms. The Germans are terrified and should be.

(*) Moments before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his attack on Ukraine, he shot a stern warning to the rest of the world. Any country that interfered, he said, would, quote, "face consequences greater than any you have faced in history." He also bragged about Russia's nuclear arsenal and, several days later, Russia's deterrent forces, including nuclear weapons, on high alert.

20,000 new immigrants arrived in Israel, mostly women and children. The Bennet Coalition is falling apart, as was predicted.

Chinese sage meets Jewish Uberchochem


 I am re-reading Henry Kissinger's book "On China". He was back from Beijing and reporting to President Geral Ford (pic) about his high-level conversations with Mao Tse-tung. Mao was then 82 y.o., sick, semi-senile, and with speaking difficulties. He asked Kissinger "Do you have something to make my speech clear?"  Since Mao spoke in metaphors and allusions, Kissinger reported that Mao was interested in American assistance to inform the world about China's peaceful intentions. The rather simple-minded Omaha-born, Eagle Scout Gerald Ford was probably left wondering about Chinese subtlety and Jewish Talmudism.


Chairman Mao: Your Secretary of State has been interfering in my internal affairs. 
President Ford: Tell me about it. 
Chairman Mao: He does not allow me to go and meet God. He even tells me to disobey the order that God has given to me. God has sent me an invitation, yet he (Secretary Kissinger) says, don't go. 
Secretary Kissinger: That would be too powerful a combination if he went there. 
Chairman Mao: He is an atheist (Secretary Kissinger). He is opposed to God. And he is also undermining my relations with God. He is a very ferocious man and I have no other recourse than to obey his orders.
Secretary Kissinger: We are very glad. 
Chairman Mao: Yes indeed. I have no other way out, no way at all. He gave an order (Secretary Kissinger). 
President Ford: To God? 
Chairman Mao: No, to me. 

When the meeting broke up, Mao repeated his beloved little joke:

Secretary Kissinger said that he was glad that the Chairman obeyed his orders, i.e. not to go to heaven. President Ford said that he hoped to straighten the Secretary out so that the Chairman could go to heaven, but he and the Secretary added that they hoped that this would not be soon. Chairman Mao indicated that he could not go since he was under orders from the Secretary. Secretary Kissinger said that he would maintain those orders. 

The Goy did not imagine that the Chinese have Heaven (Tian) but no Hell, so he  "straightened" Kissinger allowing Mao to die soon. While Kissinger understood perfectly and tried to play along with the Chairman. Ford famously was so dumb that he "could not chew Bazooka and walk down on the staircase at the same time".
