Critical Race Theory Promotes Race Wars

The “Progressive” Left are aggressive missionaries for various false, atheist ideologies. “Critical Race Theory” (CRT) is one such atheist ideology that attempts to replace Biblical values with a very false world view.

CRT is a well organized and financed racial warfare program that attempts to delegitimize and demonize all Caucasian people as inherently “racist” and “oppressive” towards black people. CRT falsely alleges that America was founded on slavery and racism. The true end goal of the depraved CRT agenda seems to be to justify and legitimize oppression and destruction of Caucasian people, especially Caucasian Jews who gave the world the Jewish Bible.

The basic principles of the false CRT “religion”: America is irredeemably racist to its core, and its legal system is by definition, racist and invalid. Therefore, the members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled and obligated to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing.

By examining ancient Biblical events, we can obtain some insights into present day conflicts whose roots are in those ancient events.

According to the Bible, the prophet Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Yefeth, who with their wives reconstituted humanity after the Biblical Flood.

“The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth—Ham being the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole world branched out.“(Genesis 9:18-19)

We can understand the three sons of Noah as representing archetypes of mankind and civilization in general. The natures of these archetypes is hinted to in the Biblical descriptions of the three sons of Noah.

“May God expand Japheth, but may He dwell in the tents of Shem” (Genesis 9:27) can be interpreted to mean “may God expand the mind of Japheth”.

“…the highest flower of the Japhetic tribe was Yavan was the Greeks; the highest flower of Semitic mankind, Ever, is the Hebrew people, Israel, who carried the name of God to 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. Everything that the earth has gained in spiritual treasures is owed to them…” (Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch on Genesis 9:27).

Thus Japheth can be considered the ancestor of the Greeks and Europeans who developed philosophy, science and technology. Shem became the ancestor of the Semites and the Jews. The Jews gave the world the Bible and thus disseminated the concepts of ethical monotheism to the world that replaced the pagan barbarism that reigned in earlier ages.

The name of the third son Ham refers to a person dominated by sensuality, emotion, and rage. Ham and his spiritual descendants were condemned as wicked by the ancient Jewish rabbis. This type of person is dominated by his unrestrained and destructive desires and emotions, and he causes the destruction of civilization, for example, BLM mobs burning down cities.

Although 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 as we have known it.

American Caucasians are justified in opposing their replacement by non-whites. Western civilization can be viewed as a hybrid product of the minds of the descendants of Yefet and Shem. However, the descendants of Ham exhibit fierce jealousy and hatred for the civilization of Yefet and Shem, and a desire to destroy that civilization. CRT is a false intellectual facade of fighting imaginary “racism” and “oppression” while actually fighting to destroy the the civilization of Yefet and Shem.

Progressive Left Agenda

The Progressive-Leftist agenda is an attempt to create a New Age Sodom, where those who embrace Biblical values, or defend themselves from criminal thugs are prosecuted as criminals. Meanwhile, machete wielding third world criminal drug gangs pour across the southern border, and are offered jobs and citizenship.

The founding fathers of America would probably consider present day America to be a despotic police state where constitutional rights for law-abiding citizens have become nonexistent, where the Bill of Rights has simply been shredded to pieces by the Progressive Leftist tyrants.

Religious US citizens need to understand that as our out of control leftist government grows ever larger, it will become increasingly impossible to observe Biblical values in the US. The leftist Democrat commissars running many large US cities treat the US Constitution with utter contempt. The left’s perverse definition of “human rights” only seems to apply to illegal aliens, homosexuals, criminals, and Muslim jihadists, but does not extend to religious Jews or religious Christians.

COVID Pandemic Caused By the Evil CCP

Without a prophet, we do not have a right to claim God caused the bio-terrorism of COVID-19 as a punishment for man’s sins. A more correct Torah based viewpoint might be that God did not cause the COVID-19 bio-terrorism, but the world did not merit to be saved from that plague.

There is by now abundant evidence that the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime created the Covid-19 bio-weapon in one of their laboratories and allowed it to infect millions of people in the world.

Senior experts on Communist China claim that the COVID virus that originated in China is likely an unnatural bio-weapon. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/6/dany-shoham-virus-likely-unnatural/

A very informative documentary on the origins of the Chinese Communist bio-weapon is available on Youtube.

“The first documentary movie on CCP virus, Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bXWGxhd7ic

With their advanced weaponry and massive army, the Chinese Communist Party may possibly be the most powerful atheist enemy of God and the Torah in history. They are certainly the cause of the COVID-19 bio-weapon now terrorizing the world. Erroneous, fatalistic beliefs serve to deflect any blame being attributed to monstrous evils such as the rabidly atheist and very powerful Chinese Communist Party.

If we consider that much of the world has enabled and empowered that fanatically atheist regime, it doesn’t require a leap of faith to believe that man’s sins have caused a condition now referred to in the Torah as “hester panim” (IE Hashem hiding his face from man).

Is there a better example of “a nation that does not know Hashem” than the Chinese Communist regime? It would seem that the correct Torah hashkafah (viewpoint) is to pray that God should save us from wicked regimes such as the Chinese Communist regime.

There is a message we must receive from the disaster of COVID-19. We must stop empowering in any way any anti-Torah atheist regimes, especially the Chinese Communist regime, and we must promote Torah concepts of ethical monotheism throughout the world. We should encourage efforts to eliminate that regime, whose very essence is a great manifestation of “hester panim”.

Islam is NOT a Peaceful Religion

Islam has created a cruel and barbaric, dysfunctional, failed civilization. Without their oil they would have no power or influence in the world. But all their failures are blamed on the Jews and other infidels. Islam never holds itself accountable for its horrendous failures and oppression of its people.

Leftists who continually and mindlessly babble charges of racism against critics of Islam live in an imaginary alternate reality. They are in complete denial of the genocidal racism of Islam and its followers, including the Islamic operatives in the US government.

“There are Jews everywhere,” Hammad shouted. “We must attack every Jew on planet Earth! We must slaughter and kill them, with Allah’s help,” he said, appealing to the “seven million Palestinians abroad.”

Hamas Official Calls for Slaughter of Jews

Jihadist barbarians such as Omar and Tlaib constantly feed the Western media Islamic taqiyya (deception) using politically correct slogans such as real justice, lasting peace etc. These fake slogans serve to disguise the genocidal jihadist campaigns against the infidels.

Maimonides apparently wrote that in the Book of Daniel the small, evil talking horn of the Fourth Beast that attempts to destroy the Torah is the bloodthirsty false prophet of Islam Y”S. That beast and its evil horn will attack the Jews but it will be utterly destroyed in the end.

“The Muslims, when they couldn’t find a single usable proof in the Torah, even by hint, were forced to say that we revised and edited the Torah…The Torah speaks of a prophet ‘from among you, from among your brothers’ (NOT from among the Arabs), (Devarim 18:15)…Dear brothers, because of our sins, Hashem has cast us among this nation, the Arabs, who are treating us badly…Never has there been a nation that hated, humiliated, and loathed us as much as this one…We suffered unbearable oppression and had to endure their lies and defamations.”

(Maimonides, Iggeret Teiman, 12th Century C.E.)

Progressive Assault on the Heterosexual Family

In the feminist societies of the West (including Israel), many men, especially fathers, have been increasingly delegitimized and denied their legal and halachic rights. Radical feminists recognize no use for fathers (other than as sperm donors and ATM machines) and are succeeding very well in their goal to eject fathers from the family and replace them with state agencies.

The fallout from this situation has been great. Fear of the extreme anti-male bias in the family courts is resulting in a “marriage strike” by many marriageable men. So called “commitment fear” by marriageable men is often really be fear of divorce. Many children are growing up without a very essential relationship with their fathers who have been shut out of their lives by feminist family courts.

The goals of totalitarian feminists include replacing all fathers with the State and replacing all religious and Constitutional justice systems (i.e. remnants of allegedly reactionary sexist Patriarchy) with misandrist police state “justice” systems.

In the New Age feminist police state all women are presumed to be actual or potential victims of violent, misogynist men, while all men are presumed guilty until proven innocent of violent, sexist, misogyny.

Feminists are now implementing on college campuses what has already been largely implemented in many US Family Courts-an insane misandrist kangaroo court “justice” system. In the New Age feminist “justice” systems, justice and rights for divorcing fathers are largely eliminated.

Fatherless Families=Destruction of Boys

In the about last 50 years or so, there has occurred a steady collapse of the traditional, heterosexual American family. A feminist, divorce on demand legal system has developed that separates masses of American children, both boys and girls, from their fathers. Masses of children growing up without fathers in their lives has resulted in devastating consequences for American society.

“Almost all the mass shooters were dad deprived boys, whether it was the synagogue shooter, the Jacksonville shooter…” (Dr. Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis)

This statement by Dr. Farrell is very significant IMHO. American Jews are being led to believe by the liberal Jewish media that the synagogue shootings are the result of the rise of an anti-Semitic Right allegedly allied with President Trump.

There have always been some anti-Semites in American society, but it has been very rare that white male American Christians will open fire on a synagogue.

It is quite ironic that the same liberals and feminists who dominate the Jewish media never discuss the dad deprivation of mass shooters who were raised without father figures in their lives as a result of a feminist divorce culture and an anti-father family court system. (Of course I am NOT advocating here for any exemption from punishment for convicted criminals.)

The damage to boys caused by a feminist divorce culture and an anti-father family court system are simply never considered by these intellectually dishonest liberals and feminists. Instead, secular Jewish liberals and feminists attempt to deflect all blame for violence in American society to the availability of guns, anti-Semitic Rightists, racists, misogynists, Trump supporters etc.

In contemporary media, there is hardly any serious discussion of the immense damage to boys caused by the present dad deprivation divorce culture. Women who believe they must divorce should at least insist on custody arrangements that allows their children to have significant relationships with their fathers.

Lefts War on God

Leftist War on God

The radical, “progressive” Left has mounted many assaults against the Biblical order created by God and the Biblical laws commanded by God.

The Left has launched assaults on heterosexuality and heterosexual marriage, assaults on the existence of only two genders, assaults on the prohibition of robbery and murder, assaults on the prohibition of adultery, and assaults on the belief in a Creator.

Totalitarian Ideologies

Various totalitarian movements and ideologies have been engaged in a war against the Jewish Bible and the Jewish Nation for thousands of years. In the modern world, various barbaric, totalitarian movements and governments, such as Communism, Nazism, “progressivism”, and jihadist Islam have arisen that seek to suppress man’s God given free will and enslave men to totalitarian agendas.

These radical ideologies promote various forms of utopian statism involving what is essentially atheist worship of totalitarian political ideologies and regimes. Rather Man’s role is to serve the totalitarian state. These ideologies have joined forces in an unholy alliance whose goals include eradication of Biblical principles such as man being created in the image of God, thereby causing a devolution of mankind into talking animals in human form. As the Jewish nation are the bearers of the ancient Biblical wisdom, the unholy alliance has marked the Jews and the State of Israel as their primary target for destruction.

The alliance of Communists, “progressives”, and jihadist Muslims against the Jewish Bible and the Jews is also known as the “Red-Green Alliance”.

All totalitarian ideologies seek to destroy the Jews and destroy the Bible because ethical monotheism, based on Biblical principles, is the great enemy of the totalitarian state and of depraved social movements.

The Socialist/Communist/Atheist dictators have become the new Pharaohs enslaving mankind. Supported by the West, Chinese communism has become one of the greatest evils in the world today.

As explained in the scholarly book “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg, German Nazism bore many similarities to today’s leftist ideologies. Both Nazism and Leftism embrace atheism or paganism, Darwinist evolution, homosexuality, racist special privileges for favored races (Nuremberg Laws for Germans, affirmative action for “minorities”), animal rights, environmentalism, vegetarianism, etc., while exhibiting virulent hatred for Judaism, Israel, and Biblical monotheism and ethics.

Is the Universe Eternal?

The short answer seems to be that the Torah is teaching that the Universe had a beginning, but the Torah is not stating the age of the Universe.

The fourth ikar (principle) of Maimonides’s 13 principles states that Hashem preceded the Universe and created it ex-nihilo (from absolutely nothing). So the Universe (or the “multiverse” if a multiverse exists) can only have existed for a finite time. In a later version of the 13 principles Maimonides added that this fourth principle is “a great foundation of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu”.

Until the early 20th Century, many scientists and philosophers argued that the Universe was eternal. Maimonides argued strongly against this prevailing concept of an eternal Universe as this concept would preclude the existence of prophecy or Torah. An eternal Universe would be subject solely to scientific law.

However it does not appear that Maimonides ever stated the age of the Universe. Maimonides states in the book Guide to the Perplexed 2:13 that the Torah is teaching that the Universe had a beginning, and time itself was created, but we cannot state that the Universe was created at a specific time. This is because a Universe created at a specific time would necessarily invoke a condition of eternal Aristotelian time. Such an eternal Universe precludes the existence of prophecy or Torah. Therefore, according to Maimonides we can’t state that God created the world at a particular time.

Maimonides in the book Guide to the Perplexed seems to be teaching that the six days mentioned in Breisheet are six stages in the creation of the Universe.

In an informative video, Rav David Bar-Hayim explains that the six days mentioned in the first chapter of Genesis do not necessarily correspond to the present periods of time we call days:

“The creation was a process that played out over a period of time, an undefined period of time, clearly the reference in the Torah to six days has to be understood to be six periods or six stages in time…the sun did not exist at the beginning, clearly the day referred to in the Torah is an allegorical or approximation of what is truly meant…we do not know how much time was involved, it may be billions of years…science also understands today that all of reality, the entire Universe came into existence from nothing…” ( Rav David Bar-Hayim, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdvLfJGQYgw )

In the last 100 years, scientists have discovered substantial evidence that this Universe did have a definite beginning. It appears that modern science has actually confirmed some critical Torah concepts that had been challenged in earlier periods of history. “Scientists came to the conclusion that the Universe had a beginning from two separate lines of evidence…” (Interview with Intelligent Design scientist Dr. Stephen Meyer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHcuZsdv6DE )

ENLIGHTENMENT DEAD END

“Enlightenment” Philosophy Has Reached a Dead End

The Enlightenment ideologies opposing religion and tradition, and replacing them with “reason” and science and submission to totalitarian states, has produced the modern “progressive” Left. However, Enlightenment ideology has reached a dead end in the West and the US. The false, secularized ideologies of the 18th Century French “Enlightenment” have now utterly failed the West. These false ideologies include abandonment of Biblical ethics and Biblical wisdom, along with attempts to replace Biblical wisdom with a naive belief in “reason” and the notion that human nature is inherently good.

Over and over, history has shown that man, when bereft of a belief in a God and belief in a system of Divine commandments, will not behave in an ethical and decent way.

According to the Enlightenment statists such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), the role of Man is to renounce his own rights and freedom, and instead identify with and submit to the so-called “general will”. The goal is to produce the imagined utopian state where the individual is at one with the state.

The naive beliefs that human nature is inherently good and that secularized “reason” alone can produce an ethical and orderly society and a utopian state is actually borne of desperation. It serves as a pretext for secular man to avoid any submission to a transcendent Divine Authority. It also serves as a method to dishonestly divert blame for man’s misconduct and criminal behaviors onto external conditions, such as poverty or alleged “racism” or “oppression”.

The truth is that lack of belief in a Creator and lack of belief in the Creator’s law are far more important factors promoting people’s negative behavior than are external conditions such as the nature of the political regime, or perceptions of alleged “racism”, “sexism” or “oppression”.

The “Progressive” Left Has Devolved Man to an Animal

The nihilist, “progressive” Left promotes various types of false atheist religions that have proven very destructive to civilization.

The Left in effect has established a new type of atheist Medieval religion complete with Inquisitions, indexes of forbidden thoughts, and banning and excommunications of heretics who oppose the Left’s perverse agendas.

Both the Left and Islam are allied together (for different reasons) against the Biblical principle of Man in the Image of God. However, atheist “progressivism” is NOT scientific and promotes many irrational beliefs. In general Biblical beliefs are much more rational.

The Left has morphed the US into an aimless, nihilistic society that has abandoned its roots in Biblical values and the US Constitution.

The Left has replaced Biblical religion with bogus false religions of materialism, scientism, Darwinism, and Multiverse unproven speculations.

The Left has devolved man into a two legged animal. Communism and the Left have redefined man’s purpose to serve the state. Abandonment of Biblical principles and submission to communism, atheism, materialism & the Left thus devolve man into an animal.

Darwinism, “progressivism”, materialism, atheism, and communism remove any real purpose or meaning to the Universe, thus removing any purpose or meaning to man’s existence.

Was the Universe Created Less Than 6000 Years Ago?

This viewpoint does not seem to be accepted by Maimonides.

Maimonides does not seem to state anywhere a specific age to the Universe. It seems that according to Maimonides, those who claim the Universe was created at a specific time, such as 5784 years ago, are actually positing the existence of time before Creation, which Maimonides considered to be a heretical idea. According to Maimonides, the Universe was certainly created by Hashem in the finite past, and it did not exist forever, but we cannot say that it was created at any particular time. We must believe that the Universe had a beginning, but we cannot really state when the Universe was created. Maimonides discusses the nature of time and the nature of the Universe in the second section of his great Torah philosophy book “the book Guide to the Perplexed” (The Guide to the Perplexed), written in the 12th century CE. The viewpoint of Maimonides in the book Guide to the Perplexed is that time itself and the matter and energy of the Universe were created ex-nihilo (from absolutely nothing) by Hashem.

Maimonides’s viewpoint implies that the current day “Orthodox fundamentalist” belief in a Universe created at a specific time (such as 5783 years ago) may actually be “heresy”, because it invokes the existence of time before creation of the Universe, implying an eternal Universe. We cannot state a specific time that the Universe was created, as this would contradict the Torah by positing Aristotle’s concept of the eternity of the Universe!

“The first opinion is that of all who believe in the Torah (teaching) of Moshe Rabbeinu. It is that the entire world, that is everything which exists other than God, was brought by God into existence after absolute nothingness…The correct position, in accordance with our opinion, is that time was created ex-nihilo along with all other objects and their accidental properties. Therefore, God’s creation of the world did not take place at any specific time, for time itself is included in the creation. Reflect upon this deeply in order that you will not bring upon yourself counter arguments which you will not be able to answer. Any positing of time before creation requires belief in the eternity of the world. For time itself is an accidental property (mikreh) and must therefore be a property of some other object. As a consequence, (for the world to have been created at a specific time) something must have existed before the world which we know of now. One must therefore free oneself from this viewpoint (i.e. that time was not created).” (the book Guide to the Perplexed II:13)

Maimonides explains in the book Guide to the Perplexed II:25 that a belief in a finite age of the Universe allows the Torah and miracles to become possible. In contrast to the Torah viewpoint, an eternal Universe or eternal Multiverse, as taught by Aristotle, philosophers, and/or certain modern Multiverse scientists, would be controlled only by scientific law, without the possibility of any Torah, any prophecy, or any miracles. This is because a Torah, prophecy, and miracles require the Creator’s free will, which does not exist in an eternal Universe/Multiverse.

Modern science is consistent with Maimonides to a large extent on this. I have seen in a modern astrophysics textbook that time itself began (at the “Big Bang” singularity) so that we cannot state when the Universe began.

In a modern astrophysics textbook, it states an idea that is quite consistent with what Maimonides wrote in the 12th Century CE! “it (the Big Bang) couldn’t have occurred at a particular time, because time itself was created at the moment the Big Bang occurred.” (“Astrophysics is Easy”, p. 273)

The scientific evidence in modern times of a finite age of the Universe has profound implications for the existence of a Creator. Any beginning in time to the Universe and a beginning to the Laws of Nature requires a non-physical supernatural Creator who exists and operates outside the Laws of Nature.

Universe Has a Purpose

“In the beginning God created heaven and earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

As mentioned previously, in Guide to the Perplexed II:13 Maimonides explains that God brought the Universe into existence after the Universe had been purely and absolutely nonexistent.

In Guide to the Perplexed II:19, Maimonides explains that, according to Aristotle, the Universe is eternal and proceeds from the Creator in a cause and effect manner. Thus the Universe exists solely by necessity and not by purpose. Since exists out of necessity can have no purpose, and according to Aristotle, the Universe can have no purpose.

In contrast to Aristotle’s belief in an eternal Universe, the Biblical viewpoint is that the Universe does not exist out of necessity, but was created in the finite past by God for a purpose. As mentioned earlier in a reference from Chovot HaLevavot, Shaar HaYichud, Chapter Six, the great wisdom, complexity and order of the Universe demonstrates that it must be the result of an Intelligence that created the Universe with intention. We thus cannot entertain the notion that the Universe came into existence from any random, natural forces.

Likewise, Maimonides in the book Guide to the Perplexed also explained how the existence of plan and purpose within the natural order of the Universe demonstrates the existence of a beginning to the Universe that did not occur within nature.

Modern theories espoused by atheist “scientism”, such as Neo-Darwinism and Multiverse theories, clearly have a goal to provide purely natural, material explanations for the origins of the Universe and the origins of the natural order. These materialist explanations also attempt to explain the origins of biological creatures and Man. However, it has become clear to intellectually honest people that “scientism” in no way can explain Man’s existence in this world.

We have seen clearly that Multiverse is purely unproven speculation that atheist scientists developed in desperation when massive scientific evidence developed that the Universe had a beginning. In a similar way, Neo-Darwinism cannot explain the origins of life on Earth and it cannot explain the origins of the many complex animal phyla that have appeared. Neo-Darwinism certainly cannot explain the existence of an advanced being such as Man who has the ability of intellectual apprehension, and the ability of speech.

As Man becomes more aware of his rather unique and unusual existence within the Universe, it is inevitable that Man will begin to recognize more clearly his unique role and purpose within the Universe.
