Thanks Jefe!

 

Trump carried the elections and Kamala lost. Many were convinced that the millions of new immigrants were in the Democrats' little pocket and that a compact and permanent colored Democratic block had been created. It could have happened that way, but the Democratic leader Kamala was a neurotic, childless woman, while Trump is a real macho and caudillo, what we call in the barrio EL JEFE, shouting follow me while being shot in the head. See pic!

Anyway, Wall Street is optimistic, and NASDAQ added 2.5%. I made (on paper) more today than I did working a full year as a consulting engineer. Last night completed the Bilu Country Club project. It had been on my table for two weeks and was unable to get down and work on it. I am afraid it will be rejected with further, impossible demands, but for a time it is off my shoulders. At the end of my life, it is becoming material what I always knew, I have a good head for maths and finance. 

I am giving myself a guimel, a free day.   

It was close

Israeli plumbers are increasingly careless. A large sewage pipe just fell on a car stationed on the next street in Raanana. Or was it a Hezbollah rocket? 

Yes, that is. 

Women Drumming in Washington D.C.

 

They are demanding the right to kill their own children.

A comment on X:

It's much much more than a "sad state of affairs". It's a reprobate mind. These women are priestesses of Moloch. They are calling down the judgment of God on America.

What is "reprobate"?

An unprincipled or depraved person:  Cemeteries were seldom placed on the north side of a church, which, if used for burial at all, was reserved for unbaptized children, criminals, reprobates, and suicides.

(in Calvinism) a sinner who is not of the elect and is predestined to damnation.

Every day I am learning something new (for me)

Dread in the Night

2.17 The city alarm woke me up followed by four or five explosions. I returned to sleep. The Lebanese had shot missiles at our quadrant and hit the upper floor of a building in the nearby Arab village, wounding a dozen Arab children and women sleeping peacefully. They are shooting blind in obscurity. 

Contracts with the Gods

 

Jewish magic consists of tricking god into some kind of contractual obligation and then forcing him to do what we want. (Because God never participates in the negotiation, it is all mental fiction.)  When I arrived in Israel, I visited my uncle Moishi in Jerusalem. He told me that his address was Honi Hameagel 6 Mea Shearim. I asked him to translate what is Honi Maeagel. It was about some old fart who drew a circle around himself in the sand and would not move till god opened the heavens and let rain fall. The idea turned around in my mind for long but I could not find any sense. Over the years I realized that this is the principle behind the Jewish religion: I say to myself that god wants me to be "good" and he will then recompensate me. In my twisted mind, I have established that some incantation if said "kavana hazaka" it will move god's heart. One has to be totally desperate to believe this logic. 

Evacuating

Israeli Military Issues Evacuation Order for Lebanon's Baalbek City for Second Day in a Row. October 31st, 11AM 

Wiki: A few kilometers from the swamp from which the Litani (the classical Leontes) and the Asi (the upper Orontes) flow, Baalbek may be the same as the manbaa al-nahrayn ("Source of the Two Rivers"), the abode of El in the Ugaritic Baal Cycle

 discovered in the 1920s and a separate serpent incantation. Baal is the principal Aramean god, although the pantheon includes El which is superior to Baal, and Anath or Oshrat, the sister and consort of Baal. And Mot (the Death god) and Yam (the Sea god).  The serpent incantation appears to be an amulet that consists of an incantation written on a common domestic earthenware.

The incantations are both stylized and structured, and consist of various elements, such as opening formulae, name invocation, sequences in both mystical and liturgical styles, biblical quotations and stories of magical activity located in the distant past in which well known figures of authority, such as great sages and prophets, successfully vanquished demonic forces. At the same time the incantations also have the form of legal documents, and so depict the belief that supernatural beings are subject to a juridical system that covers all created beings. In the Jewish texts, the ultimate authority is the Jewish God; in the Mandaean it is ‘The Great Life’; in the pagan and Gnositc texts the nature and identity of that which holds supreme authority is less clear. This is best illustrated in how adaptations of the legal formula found in the Jewish bill of divorce, the get, are prevalent in the bowl incantations. Simply put, the logic is that just as the get is a binding legal document that affects the separation of man and wife, so too it has the force to separate and banish demon from human.

The Onitsha Market

 

Many years ago Mr Egbo took me in his Mercedes to Onitsha on the mighty Niger.  He had a son in a school and the Headmaster had called him. The Onitsha market was the largest in Africa, and it was well-ordered. I bought lots of locally made iron tools; unfortunately, I had to leave them in Bauchi, which was never sent after me to Buenos Aires. The Ibo had advanced in metallurgy and fabricated wonderful brass sculptures, iron farming implements, and weapons. The Hittites reached the iron age about 3500 years ago, while the Nordics only 1500 years ago. The Ibo were well-advanced on the path to industrial economy. The contact with the Portuguese resulted deadly for them.
