Preserving the Heterosexual Family

כַּבֵּ֥ד אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּ֑ךָ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִכ֣וּן יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃

 

“Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that the LORD your God is assigning to you.”1

We see a warning from this Torah verse that a society that allows a divorce on demand culture with its inevitable massive family destruction and parental alienation cannot long exist before self-destructing.

It is essential to the survival of Western civilization to recognize the damage done to society by the present divorce on demand culture.

The Biblical verse above is teaching us a critical principle. A breakdown of the family inevitably results in the breakdown of a civilization. However, in a nation that collectively honors their parents, the nation’s families will be preserved along with their religious traditions and beliefs, and that nation will long endure.

Restoring America will require a restoration of the heterosexual family so that most children will be raised by two parents, i.e. a father and a mother.

If tragically a person is suffering from “same sex attraction”, or else a delusion that their gender is different from the gender they were born with, then this book is not advocating persecuting or harassing those persons.

At the same time, those persons afflicted with illnesses such as same-sex attraction have absolutely no right to trample on the Constitutional rights of heterosexuals by demanding that we suppress our free speech or that we abandon our religious principles. Religious citizens, including mental health professionals, must be allowed their Constitutional rights to express their religion based opinions on subjects such as homosexuality and “transgender”. Religious people should not remain silent or be intimidated in the face of aggressive, destructive attacks on Biblical principles and on the principles of civilization.

In the US, mental health professionals must be allowed their 1st Amendment rights to engage in treatment of persons with sexual or gender dysfunction problems who request such treatment.

1 Exodus 20:12

Roots of Western Civilization

The concept of “Judeo-Christian” civilization is somewhat of an over-simplification, as Jewish and Christian conceptions of the nature of God and the identity of the Messiah are largely incompatible. However, it is evident that Christian civilization did embrace certain ethical values it absorbed from the Jewish Bible.

The Jewish Bible contains some of the oldest records of human civilization still available. According to the Jewish Bible, the three sons of the Biblical prophet Noah reconstituted humanity after the Biblical flood destroyed the world. These sons were Shem, Ham, and Yefet1.

According to the Bible and Jewish tradition, Shem was the ancestor of the Hebrews and the ancestor of the Jews who gave the Jewish Bible to the world and taught the world ethical monotheism.

Yefet was the ancestor of the Europeans. The Biblical verse: “Yaft Elokim Yefet” – “May God expand Yefet, but may He dwell in the tents of Shem”2 can be interpreted to mean “may God expand the mind of Yefet”. Thus Yefet can be considered the ancestor of the Greeks and Europeans who developed philosophy, science and technology. However, science and philosophy alone are not enough to produce a true, ethical civilization. The ethical monotheism of the Jewish Bible is necessary to teach Man his purpose and to teach him right versus wrong, and good versus evil.

The roles of Shem and Yefet were explained well by the great Biblical commentator Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch.

“If we look around in historical reality, we can say to ourselves: the highest flower of the Japhetic tribe was יון the Greeks; the highest flower of Semitic mankind is עבר, is the Hebrew people, Israel, who carried the ׳שם ה as his God through the world of peoples. To this day, only these two human tribes, the Japhetic and Semitic, Greece and Judaism, have become the actual educators and teachers of mankind. They owe everything that the earth has gained in spiritual treasures to them, and everything that still works in a wholesome way on the education and upbringing of mankind is linked to that which Japhet and Shem brought to mankind. The Roman’s spiritual donation was also only a gift from the Hellenes. Japhet has aesthetically ennobled the world, enlightening it spiritually and morally. Greek and Judaism have become the most powerful active powers in the educational work of mankind, to which the rest of the world behaves like passive educational material.”3

Various barbarian movements and groups have been constantly seeking to destroy the civilization created by Shem and Yefet. Western Civilization has been under attack by a variety of barbarians, some of them “progressives”, some of them Communists (the CCP) and some of them Islamic. The “barbarian” movements, with their abandonment of any Biblical morality, are all rebellions against the God of the Jewish Bible.

However, the descendants of Ham exhibit especially fierce jealousy and hatred for the civilization of Yefet and Shem, and a desire to destroy that civilization. So-called Critical Race Theory (CRT) can be considered a a false intellectual facade of fighting non-existent “racism” and “oppression” while actually fighting to destroy the civilization of Yefet and Shem.

Democracy Without Religion Will Fail

The Jewish Bible does not teach the principle of “democracy”. There seem to be good and valid reasons for this when we observe the extreme political corruption evident in modern “democracies” that lack any restraint of Biblical values. For example, the 2020 presidential election in the US has been marred by abundant evidence in multiple US states of extreme voter fraud, thus devolving the US election into a blatantly fraudulent, stolen election, and devolving US “democracy” into an ugly farce.

Democracy in countries like the US can only be functional when a large portion of the population observes basic principles of Biblical morality even while they participate in the democracy. Without Biblical morality, democracy just devolves to a hypocritical farce.

A democracy unrestrained by any authentic religious morality or ethics is doomed to fail. Such a “democracy” will inevitably lead to a radically secular, aimless, corrupt, nihilistic “culture” such as the one we see in America today. Such a nihilistic culture is easily hijacked by unethical oligarchs and totalitarian “progressives” who will maintain a false facade of democracy as they rule the country by employing massive election fraud. It is evident that behind the scenes, there is now an unelected oligarchy of Democrat and Socialist Leftists who rule the US without the consent of the governed.

We have seen this brazen hijacking of democracy in the apparent massive fraud that has occurred in the 2020 US presidential election. In multiple US “swing” states, there is abundant evidence that mail-in ballots and corrupt computer software were used to orchestrate a stolen election win for the Democratic Party.

The criminals who orchestrated this massive, illegal fraud never seem to be charged with any crimes, while the mainstream media continues to brainwash masses of American citizens that no election fraud occurred.

Totalitarian Regimes Wage War on God

Man’s unique role in the Creation is to worship God, and not worship God’s creations. Throughout history, various totalitarian regimes have waged war on both the God of the Jewish Bible and those who worship Him. Totalitarian regimes demand absolute subservience by their subjects. From the time of the ancient dictator Nimrod, up until the Communist and Nazi regimes of modern times, totalitarian regimes can never tolerate any persons loyal to the God of the Bible and loyal to His morality.

The ancient totalitarian Egyptian ruler Pharaoh asserted himself as a (false) God over the Egyptians and he then enslaved Israelites.

“For he claimed to be a god and asserted that because of his divine power he did not need to ease himself; and therefore he used to rise early and go to the Nile and there eased himself in secret.”1

Totalitarian regimes, whether ancient or modern, can never tolerate Man serving God instead of serving the regime. In our time, a new false god has arisen who demands that we serve him like a god, the Chinese “Emperor” Xi Jinping.2

It is astounding how the evil CCP tyrants have been persecuting3 Chinese Jews with hardly a peep of protest from Jews in the West. Should Jews sell out our own people and our principles in return for a bunch of Chinese junk they sell us that breaks in a month?

1 Rashi (Biblical commentator) and Midrash Tanchum on Exodus 7:15

Man’s Uniqueness in the Creation

Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, in Chapter I:4 of his famous book “Derech Hashem”, identifies the species of mankind as being the primary and central being of the Creation, upon which God seeks to bestow his goodness. All the other components of the Creation were only created for Man’s sake.

God bestowed upon Man an intellect that Man can utilize to perfect himself and to perfect civilization. This intellect was only bestowed upon Man and was not bestowed upon any other animal or creature. There also exists within Man a soul that does not exist in any the other creatures.

We must not allow Man to be devolved into just another animal by the Woke Leftist media and academia. There is far too much propaganda in secular media and secular academia intended to erase the profound differences between Man and animals. Many secular movies may try to falsely imbue animals with human characteristics such as depicting animals as having emotions or depicting animals as being capable of rational mental processes

The elements of Man that constitute Man as a unique creation of God have often been totally erased and denied by the false modern ideologies such as “progressivism” and “scientism”. Without Man’s unique elements, Man would only constitute an advanced form of animal. This is essentially the goal of the modern secularist movements, that is to devolve Man into an advanced form of animal.

How can Neo-Darwinism explain the profound metaphysical differences between Man and the animal kingdom, such as Man’s rational intellect capable of abstract thought, Man’s ability for speech, Man’s recognition of good vs. evil?

Why would Darwinian “survival of the fittest” principles require a gorilla or chimpanzee to develop a rational intellect capable of abstract thought and develop the ability for speech?

A gorilla’s “survival of the fittest” in the jungle requires strong arms to pull bananas off a tree and fight off lions, a gorilla has no need for a rational intellect capable of abstract thought or the ability for speech.

Why would a gorilla require an intellect capable of creating an advanced civilization?

Beloved is Man

הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, חָבִיב אָדָם שֶׁנִּבְרָא בְצֶלֶם.

“He (Rabbi Akiva) used to say: Beloved is man for he was created in the image [of God]”1

The above statement from the ancient Talmudic tractate “Ethics of the Fathers” expresses the uniqueness of Man relative to the other physical creatures. Various great rabbinic sages commented on the above profound statement:

“Beloved is Man, etc.: “Therefore it is incumbent upon him to do the will of his Maker.”2

“And Rabbi Akiva was speaking about all men and like the proof that he brought, which is said about the Children of Noah and not the Children of Israel alone.”3

In various narratives in the Jewish Bible, we see that God is concerned with the welfare of many nations, and not just with the welfare of the Jews. God saved Noah’s family, a non-Jewish family, because they were a righteous family. Hagar, the Egyptian maid of the Hebrew matriarch Sarah, ran away from Sarah, but an angel appeared to her in the wilderness and directed her to return to Sarah. In the Biblical Book of Jonah, the non-Jewish city of Nineveh is saved after God sent a prophet to that city to urge them to abandon their evil ways. And there are many other examples.

God’s Promise to Eliminate Hamas

Iran and its proxy terrorist organization, Hamas, are two of the primary engines powering the world-wide spread of the current outbreak of the anti-semitism / Jew hatred cancer.

Many people, both Jews and non-Jews, may not be aware that the word “hamas” is a Hebrew word that seems to appear thousands of times in classical Jewish sources such as the Bible, Talmud, Midrash etc.!

The Hebrew word חָמַס ( hamas ) is one of the most negative words in Torah literature, it means to do violence or rob other people. (Klein dictionary).

In Torah literature, “hamas” always seems to be connected with barbaric evil, violence, and robbery.

Decent people left in the world should be concerned that God might decide to destroy the world again if it becomes full of “hamas“.

“God said to Noah, I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with HAMAS and because of them I am about to destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:13)

After the barbaric terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, the fifth columnists and shock troops of the Islamic Hamas organization are protesting and attacking non-Muslim “infidels” all over the world.

“Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; save me from HAMAS, whose minds are full of evil schemes, who plot war every day.” (Psalm 140:2-3)

The Biblical Psalms, written about 3000 years ago, teach us that God despises the Hamas lovers wherever they are!

“God seeks out the righteous person, but the wicked one and the lover of HAMAS He loathes.” (Psalm 11:5)

Many wicked and barbaric regimes throughout history have attempted to destroy the Jews, but they have all vanished from history.

God promised that Hamas would be removed from the Land of Israel in the future. So we must never despair despite the brutal terrorism of Hamas and its supporters. The prophet Isaiah promises us that HAMAS will be removed from the Land of Israel, may it come to pass soon.

” HAMAS shall no more be heard in your land, Nor robbery and destruction, within your borders. And you shall name your walls Victory. And your gates Renown.” (Isaiah 60:18)

Ishmael’s War Against Civilization

The book of Daniel describes how Daniel had a vision of four great beasts who came out of the sea. These beasts and their attributes correspond to four empires that ruled the world and subjugated the Jews. The third empire, IE the Greek empire of the Hanukkah events, was in the form of a leopard. Some of the great rabbis, such as Rambam and Ibn Ezrah, identified the Arab Empire as the fourth empire. In the book of Genesis, an ominous message is delivered by an angel to Hagar the Egyptian, the mother of Ishmael. Ishmael was the the father of the Arab nation.

“He (Ishmael) shall be a wild beast of a man;

His hand against everyone,

And everyone’s hand against him;

He shall dwell alongside of all his kin.”

(Genesis 16:12)

Ancient rabbinic commentaries suggest that this verse is teaching us that Ishmael’s children will increase and make war against all the nations, but Ishmael will be vanquished in the end.

The current Hamas-Israel war represents both a physical and a spiritual war against Israel and against Western civilization (IE “all the nations”) by uncivilized “wild beasts”.

Thus Ishmael was cursed to be a “wild beast” in the form of a man. The unspeakable atrocities committed against innocent Jews by Hamas Islamic savages on October 7, 2023 are clearly the actions of “wild beasts” who operate outside of any rules of civilization.

This is NOT to say that all Arabs today are “wild beasts”, we cannot claim that all Arabs today are descended from Ishmael. Certain descendants of Ishmael are not the only “wild beasts” today. Many suicidal leftist Jews and non-Arab leftist gentiles identify with Hamas, as a result they have devolved themselves into “wild beasts” and have engaged in a worldwide pogrom of violent anti-Jewish attacks.

The Red-Green Axis, IE the “Progressives” and jihadist Islam fuel the hate of their irrational adherents by indoctrinating their deluded followers, using Leftist liberation rhetoric, in a false replacement religion of “Palestinianism” that pretends to seek creation of a mythical Palestinian Arab state that never existed in history. In fact the Palestinian state is never mentioned in the Islamic Quran yet many Muslims have been indoctrinated to believe this mythology.

Ishmael’s War Against Civilization

As predicted by the Bible and the rabbinic commentaries, the “wild beast” and his allies will make war on civilizations, but they will eventually be defeated by the other nations. Until then, civilization is faced with a choice of only one value system among two:

1. A civilization that affirms ethical monotheism, derived from the Jewish Bible, including belief in one Creator who prohibits murder, barbarism, cruelty, robbery, idolatry, homosexuality, adultery, etc. This civilization affirms that the same Creator also requires charity, kindness, and honesty among all people, and it recognizes the right of the Jewish nation to exist and to settle the Land of Israel. Promoting this civilization does not require everyone to convert to Judaism, it only requires society to embrace an ethical monotheistic value system, and reject the perverse Red-Green Axis doctrines.

2. A totalitarian “civilization” ruled by a globalist government of “wild beast” jihadists and their woke “progressive” allies, where Man must worship the false gods of the jihadists and the “progressives”, where opponents and “infidels” against the globalist regime are persecuted, jailed, and murdered.

Only option no. 1 above can ensure the survival of Western Civilization.

Winning the Battle for Civilization

The Barbarian War Against the Jews and Against Civilization

We are witnessing today a barbarian war, conducted by the “Red-Green Axis”, against Israel, the Jews, and Western civilization. The barbaric attacks on Israel by Hamas Nazi savages on October 7, 2023, and the worldwide eruption of violent anti-Jewish attacks, have highlighted the spiritual and physical war the “Red-Green Axis” is conducting to destroy “Judeo-Christian” civilization.

The term “Red-Green Axis” refers to an unholy alliance of disparate barbarians, including Leftists, “progressives”, Marxists, Nazis, and Islamic jihadists who have found common cause in waging war to destroy Israel, the Jewish nation, the Jewish Torah (Bible) and all of Western civilization. The current physical war against Israel is actually part of a larger war to destroy the spiritual values of Western civilization.

The war of the Red-Green Axis against Civilization is conducted in many battlefields, including massive terror campaigns against Israeli citizens, forced imposition of Islamic law on the West, destruction of the heterosexual family and its replacement with homosexual and trans-sexual perversions, destruction of merit based advancement, destruction of civil rights for Caucasian males, and anti-Semitic attacks and rioting in the streets of Western capitals.

The disparate groups that make up the Red-Green Axis embrace a bizarre pagan ideology powered by insane, delusional hatred of Israel, the Jews, and Biblical values. The Marxist-Islamist barbarians seek to devolve Man into a two-legged wild animal in the form of a human (IE a “wild beast”) who is not subject to any moral codes and is given free reign to commit the worst atrocities and perversions. The Red-Green Axis barbarians are united in their goal of destroying all Biblical values and replacing them with their own totalitarian globalist political regimes. These political regimes require Mankind to worship globalist tyrants instead of worshiping God, with no room for Biblical values.

The West Cannot Survive the Collapse of Biblical Values

The spiritual roots of Western civilization, both for Jew and Christian, derive from the Jewish Bible and the Land of Israel. Values of ethical monotheism, imported from the Jewish Bible in a distorted manner, established the spiritual foundations of the West. A primary goal of the Red-Green Axis is the destruction of the West’s spiritual foundations, which requires destruction of any Jewish state in the Land of Israel. 

At least until recently, Western civilization affirmed some values of ethical monotheism derived primarily from the Jewish Bible. The ethical monotheism espoused in the Bible demands a worldwide value system where all people worship one God who prohibits all barbarism, cruelty, murder, robbery, idolatry, homosexuality, adultery, etc. The God of the Bible also demands that Mankind practice charity, kindness, and honesty, and promote legal justice. 

Western civilization’s secular Enlightenment based philosophies have reached a dead end due to elimination of belief in a Creator and the replacement of the Creator with Man’s flawed “reason”. The collapse of religion and values has created a vacuum being filled in by the false, perverse doctrines of “Palestinianism”, Marxism, jihadism, woke-ism, Identity Politics, “progressive-ism”, feminism, homosexuality, “transgender”, DEI, BLM, CRT, etc.

The West will not be able to survive the onslaught of the Red-Green Axis without a revival of Biblical values. 

Worldwide Attacks on Jews Signal a Barbarian War Against Civilization

The Jewish people and their state are the proverbial “canary in the coal mine” of civilization. The Jewish people have been plucked at by the bloodthirsty vultures and jackals of all time but miraculously they have survived with the help of God. Invoking sympathy for Jews is not the goal of this article. All decent people should take heed that when innocent Jews are being attacked in the streets of Western cities simply because they are Jews, that is a clear sign that civilization itself is being overrun by barbarians.

Liberal Western countries have very foolishly imported large numbers of Islamic jihadists from the Middle East. The unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists in Israel on October 7 are cheered and applauded by these jihadists and by their “progressive” allies. However these barbarians will not end with attacking the Jews, their goal is to wage war and terror campaigns against all non-Muslim “infidels”, after they are done waging war on the Jews.

The barbarians of the Red-Green Axis are united in their goals of destroying all Biblical values and replacing them with their own totalitarian globalist ideologies that leave no room for Biblical values and no room for Mankind to serve the God of the Bible. It is clear that the “Intersectionality” that unites radical “progressivism” and jihadist Islam is their hatred and contempt for Biblical values, for the Jews and for Israel.

The very existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel with millions of Jews is intimately connected with various Biblical prophecies. Thus the Jewish state is hated and despised by the Red-Green Axis, which views that state as an affirmation of Biblical prophecies despised by the Red-Green Axis. The common goal of the Red-Green Axis Marxists and jihadists is the destruction of the Jewish nation and the destruction of the Land of Israel, by means of which the destruction of Biblical values will be greatly facilitated.

Winning the Battle for Civilization

The Hamas genocidal war that started October 7, 2023 has brought the world to a cross-roads. The world must now choose between either a civilization based on Biblical (IE Torah) values, or else the totalitarian globalist barbarism of the Red-Green Axis. 

Restoring the value system of the Jewish Bible is the key to winning the battle for Civilization. 

Taking the road of Biblical values means embracing good instead of evil, truth instead of falsehood, life instead of death, civilization instead of barbarism. A civilization based on Biblical values affirms belief in one Creator who prohibits murder, barbarism, cruelty, robbery, idolatry, homosexuality, adultery, etc. This civilization affirms that the same Creator also requires charity, kindness, and honesty among all people, and it recognizes the right of the Jewish nation to exist and to settle the Land of Israel.

These Biblical values do not require non-Jews to convert to Judaism, they only require affirmation of an ethical monotheistic value system, and a rejection of the Red-Green Axis doctrines.

Taking the road of the Red-Green Axis means supporting Hamas, jihad, terrorism, Marxism, and a totalitarian globalist government that will crush Man’s spirit while forcing Man to worship false gods. Opponents and “infidels” against the Red-Green Axis will be persecuted, jailed, and murdered. The road of the Red-Green Axis can only lead to enormous suffering and injustice in the world.

Let us hope and pray that the world will choose its path wisely.

The Disaster of “Multiculturalism”

Western civilization is not based on race, but it is based on ideas derived from Caucasian men in ancient Greece and Israel. Creating a race based philosophy represents the destruction of Western civilization. Even so, American Anglos are justified in opposing their replacement by non-whites.

Ancient Torah (Biblical) wisdom recognizes that European Christian nations are one civilization, and Arab/Islamic nations are another very different civilization.

These two civilizations cannot be mindlessly merged together in one country under the false banner of “multiculturalism” without disastrous consequences.

At the beginning of the Book of Genesis, it describes 70 original nations that represent the origins of the present nations in the world. The false concept of “Multiculturalism” destroys the uniqueness and purpose that each individual nation has to offer to the world.

Less than one hundred years ago, much of Europe worked to destroy peaceful European Jews who posed no threat to European Christians. Then the “progressive” Europeans replaced the Jews with masses of imported third world Muslims who are now waging a jihad against the European “progressives” who hosted them.

The European “infidels” are now enjoying the fruits of “multiculturalism”.
