Good post, Ezra.
A good reminder of the smoke and mirrors show, the bullshit, the chutzpah that we can very easily react to emotionally (as is intended) and get caught up in endless rabbit trails of futility.
Or even worse, like bombing/killing our own for "freedom" ...
It's an old but apparently still effective trick -- one of many, it must be said ...
Just again one reminder from history
"... But the moment we were successful in placing this problem before the German people in the light of an idea that would unite them in one struggle the Jew reacted. He resorted to his old tactics. With amazing alacrity he hurled the torch of discord into the patriotic movement and opened a rift there. In bringing forward the ultramontane question and in the mutual quarrels that it gave rise to between Catholicism and Protestantism lay the sole possibility, as conditions then were, of occupying public attention with other problems and thus ward off the attack which had been concentrated against Jewry. The men who dragged our people into this controversy can never make amends for the crime they then committed against the nation. Anyhow, the Jew has attained the ends he desired. Catholics and Protestants are fighting with one another to their hearts' content, while the enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve ... "
Adolf Hitler "Mein Kampf" vol 2, ch X (Ralph Manheim trans)
http://hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/There are those of our people who love controversy and discord, it appears. Rather than attempting to build the Kingdom, their delight is to attack other Israelites. Hitler observed that they could never make amends for the crime they committed against our people. Such of our own people should be aware that they WILL be held accountable, that there WILL be a price to pay. That the price WILL be very much higher than they perhaps imagine. That the time for Repentence and Reform is right now. In writing this, my concern is not for our enemies who will be destroyed in the fulness of time, but for our own very misguided people who aid them.
