War on U S small farmers – Coming to Homesteading soon

 OREGON URGENTLY SHUTS DOWN SMALL FARMS EN MASSE “To Protect The People" 

Guest post by Leo Hohmann

War on food is spreading in U.S. through land-use restrictions, geoengineering and waves of propaganda

Remember, it really is all about depopulation

  • The World Economic Forum warned us several years ago that its ultimate goal was to destroy the middle class. How else would you explain their slogan: “You will own nothing and learn to like it“?m
  • This mantra is playing out in real time in the state of Oregon, and other states, in various forms which we will get into in this article.
  • Small farmers are under attack in the Beaver State, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.
  • The owner of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a 20-minute video explaining what is going on in Oregon as bureaucrats erroneously classify small family farms and homesteads as “concentrated animal feeding operations,” or CAFOs, in order to shut them down. Any feeding area that has a concrete, rock or gravel floor falls into this category, which would include most small dairy or egg farms.
  • If you have two or three milking cows, the rancher explains, you are now targeted by the state for closure.
  • The rancher further explains in the video:
  • “The state of Oregon has effectively shut down small farms and market gardens on a large scale, and they’re actually sending out cease-and-desist letters to farms and they’re using satellite technology to find their victims and send them these letters that say you can’t operate.”

Haredi Birrur: New Haredi Draft Bill

 Segregated Units, Economic Sanctions in New IDF Haredi Draft Bill
And Gantz said:
Gantz Threatens to Bolt Government if Haredi Draft Law Pass
es

“The people will not tolerate it, the Knesset will not be able to vote in favor of it, and my associates and I cannot be part of this emergency government if this law passes,” said Gantz, a member of Israel’s War Cabinet. “Passing such a law would be crossing a red line during normal times.”

Bring it on Gantz

And the Haredim said:
What happens to the day the chlonim say – They are also not going – we are not sending our sons to the army, as others don’t go?
Can Israel survive on only the frum Zionist religious boys being the ones to go to the army. Yo cannot put someone else is child in jail for not serving, while leaving other free. It would never work and Israel will become a volunteer army.
In a certain way this is a greater danger to Israel then Gaza.

I can’t believe the same conversation about drafting the charedim is still going on with no changes. It’s been 75 years. Have they not yet learned???

You can’t jail 500,000 people and you can’t exile them. It’s ludicrous. You aren’t being practical. And your financial idea will not hurt them bad enough. It will just increase divisiveness . I know it’s frustrating but you can’t always get what’s right . That’s life. It’s too bad.

Hashem’s Salvation can come with the blink of an eye. The Charadim will not go into the army and Hashem will help… We are winning the war NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF JEW IS SERVING!! All Hashem is waiting for is Shalom Between us and Moshiach is here.

 Arab Sharpshooter Who Killed 1, Wounded 6 in Binyamin Was US Trained


Last Friday, Sgt. 1st Class Ilay David Garfinkel, 21, who served in the Duvdevan special force, was killed by an Arab sharpshooter who also wounded six other soldiers near the settlement of Dolev in Binyamin (Assault Helicopter Called in as Multiple Israelis Wounded in Shootout with Terrorist in Samaria). Now it turns out, according to a Kan11 News report, that the terrorist, Majhad Mansur, was trained in Jordan by American experts as part of the US support for the Palestinian Authority.

According to Wiki, in 2007, the United States Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (USSC) began training PA Security Forces including the Palestinian National Security Forces, and the Presidential Guard, to establish 10 highly trained PA battalions by the end of 2010. Since then, US security assistance to the PA has expanded and received high praise.

Purim In Mea Shearim! - פּוּרִים אִין מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים

 

ALL Yeshivos and Kollelim Should Do What They Did in Sura and Naharda’eh

(see note at conclusion) 

Create Dignity and Greater Respect From Am Yisrael


The Pageant In The Mesivta

You know that in Bavel there were great Mesivtos, great yeshivos

where the chachomim gathered to study and to teach. There was a Mesivta

in Sura where Rav was, and there was another Mesivta in Naharda’eh

where Shmuel lived; two big Mesivtos that were the center of the Am

Yisroel. And there were other Mesivtos too that functioned in Bavel.

But the Mesivta wasn’t a place where you just learned Torah and

heard shiurim. It was a very interesting experience, the Mesivta.

Everything was done with a procedure. They used to march into the beis

medrash at the beginning of the session; the chachomim marched in first,

and then the talmidim marched in behind them, and everyone took his

place; each one of the chachomim had his particular place. And there

were designated people who would make the announcement, “The

chachomim are coming in now; they’re entering into the Mesivta.” It was

mamish like a pageant; that’s how they opened up the Mesivta.


Babylonian State Of The Union

And not only in the beginning of the zman; every day was like that. It

was done with a certain panoply, like in a royal tribunal, with certain

procedures, formalities and announcements. Like in the Congress l’havdil

or in a king’s palace; it was done with the greatest kind of ceremony. And

we should ask ourselves: What was this for? Why all the fanfare?! Why

couldn’t they just get busy with learning already? Isn’t that what they

came for? It wasn’t the State of the Union address after all; it was a

yeshivah! And they didn’t do this once a year; it was every day!


And the answer is that this pomp and the ceremony was vital for an

understanding of the place of the Torah in the Am Yisroel.

In the midbar, where they all saw the Mishkan, and they all knew that

hidden inside, in the room that Hashem chose to reside in, was the luchos

and the Torah, so the entire nation lived with a tangible understanding

that it was the study of the Torah that was the core function of our people

– everybody was learning in kollel, and there was no question in anyone’s

mind that limud Torah was the function of our people. But in order to

keep that fire of kavod haTorah alive forever and to understand the

centrality of the Torah to our nation, the nation had to see with their own

eyes the glory of Torah. And so the Mesivta functioned with the

prominence it deserved and the Am Yisroel learned that the aristocracy

of our people were the ones who were studying the Toras Hashem in the

beis medrash.


The Great Kiddush Hashem

In Bavel they also established the Yarchei Kallah together with the

Mesivta. Twice a year there was a yarchei kallah, a kiddush Hashem of

remarkable proportions. You know they were almost all farmers in Bavel,

so when the farming season was over, two months a year, tens of

thousands of people came to the Mesivta. The town was overflowing with

Jews. They slept on the streets, on the roofs, and in cellars, and they were

learning all the time. The entire month they were learning Torah. And the

chachmei haTorah were there to test them, to see if they knew it!

Everybody was learning the same thing – it was a scene to behold – they

were all learning the same mesichta and the chachomim farherred them.


And it wasn’t little children we’re talking about; these were adults,

men in their forties and fifties, older than that too, men with families.

From where did this fire of dedication to Torah come? How could a nation

of so many different personalities: workers, wise men, simple folk,

intellectuals, rich and poor alike all humbly submit themselves before the

chachmei haTorah?


And the answer is that it wasn’t something that began in Bavel; 

it was already engraved on our souls from the Dor Hamidbar. 

The same way the Dor Hamidbar submitted themselves before 

Moshe Rabbeinu, the Am Yisroel continued that practice always. 

And therefore there was always a tremendous outpouring of 

Torah learning, a tremendous demonstration that Torah is 

everything for the Am Yisroel. We are always a nation of

Torah learners

A  further idea came to me.
For all the residents of Yehuda and Shomron, that the Biden adm has caused a loss of income from their farming settlements, these religious builders of the Land of Israel, should be invited to join a Yeshiva during their “punishment duration” and be given a double stipend for their learning, as compensation for the upkeep of their family and duties. Of course a Talmud from that Yeshiva should be selected to assist him to acclimate to the schedule. 

This is just an idea I had, and the details need to be compatible with all concerned.  

Time To Call Out American Democrats as AntiSemites!!

 Leave our Settlers alone!


(JNS) —This week, the United States sanctioned another three Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria, accusing them of “undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank.”

The new sanctions also apply to the farms owned by two of the three sanctioned men, as the U.S. State Department claims the properties are serving as bases from which the accused are perpetrating “violence against Palestinians.”

The United States has blacklisted a total of seven Israelis pursuant to U.S. President Joe Biden’s Feb. 1 Executive Order 14115, which states that financial sanctions can be applied to individuals in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) who are seen as “undermining stability” and “prospects of peace.”

The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem would not confirm the sources or methodology used to determine who falls under the EO. In response to a query by JNS, an embassy spokesperson said: “We gather information from a variety of carefully vetted partners, on-the-ground reports, and other sources of credible information. We cannot comment on all the specific sources of information used to come to these designations.”

However, while the embassy would not comment on its sources, Israeli investigative journalist Elchanan Groner of the Hakol HaYehudi news site recently told Israel’s Channel 14 news that the sanctions are, in fact, based on statistics compiled by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which is known to gather an immense amount of data on “settler-related violence.”

OCHA says its information “is collected from a variety of sources, including municipal authorities, Palestinian District Coordination Offices (DCO), U.N. agencies, human rights organizations and media reports.”

Among these so-called “human-rights organizations” are extremist E.U.-funded Israeli anti-settler groups such as B’Tselem, Yesh Din and Physicians for Human Rights.

On Nov. 1, OCHA released an article claiming that “Israeli settler violence has increased significantly, from an already high average of three incidents per day in 2023 to seven a day” since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre. “During this period, OCHA recorded 171 settler attacks against Palestinians,” the report states.

However, a position paper published by the Samaria Regional Council takes OCHA’s research methods to task.

According to the council’s research, “The U.N. falsely generates defamatory ‘settler violence’ content—which mass media and world leaders then mistakenly use as ‘data,’” by:

• Conflating extensive violence against settlers with rare violence by settlers, referring to both together as “settler-related” violence.

• Ignoring the fact that the “vast majority” of Palestinian deaths attributed to “settler violence” were killed by Israeli security forces during counter-terror raids.

• Distributing “settler violence” content without proof—the “handful” of cases in which settlers are accused of killing Palestinians are still under investigation.

OCHA itself actually confirms some of the council’s claims.

In a website section titled “data on casualties” featuring OCHA’s statistics on both Israeli and Palestinian fatalities, the category labeled “Incidents involving Israeli settlers” notes that these include “Palestinians killed or injured during attacks or alleged attacks they perpetrated against Israeli settlers.”

According to OCHA’s figures, from Oct. 7 to Jan. 17, there were nine Palestinian fatalities caused by “settler violence.”

However, according to Naomi Linder-Kahn, director of Israeli NGO Regavim’s International Division, all nine of those deaths occurred in the context of deadly attacks carried out by Arabs against Jews.

“The settler-violence narrative has been years in the making, and fell like ripe fruit into the wrong hands as the United States is in the throes of an election cycle that has been hijacked by extremism,” said Linder-Kahn.

“For years, key [George] Soros-funded anti-Israel groups have established bases of operation in illegal Palestinian outposts in Area C [of Judea and Samaria], and continue to use them to launch provocations against Israeli forces and Jewish communities,” she continued. “They turn on the cameras when those under attack defend themselves and frame the incident as ‘settler violence,’ but a careful read of the U.N.’s data leaves no room for doubt: Israelis acting in self-defense against terrorists are included as ‘settler violence.’”

According to Linder-Kahn, “The ultimate goal of this blood libel is to delegitimize not only the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria, but the moral underpinnings of the Israel Defense Forces and by extension of the entire State of Israel.”

According to data collected by Israel, incidents of settler violence in Judea and Samaria have actually dropped significantly compared to last year.

At a meeting of the Knesset Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria last week, Cmdr. Avishai Mualem of the Judea and Samaria District Police said, “Since Oct. 7, there are statistics showing a 50% decrease in Jewish nationalist crime versus last year—270 from the start of the war until today, versus 527 last year.”

Moreover, Mualem added that while there has been an increase in the number of complaints accusing settlers of violence, many of those complaints were fraudulent.

“Since the start of the war there has been an increase in the number of cases and complaints by Palestinians and anarchists; 191 cases were opened, of which 90 proved to be false complaints, in the southern Hebron hills sector,” he said.

“Most of the complaints are deliberate [actions] by radical left-wing organizations situated in Tel Aviv,” he continued. “In the Jordan Valley sector, we are talking about 70 incidents, of which 50% percent proved to be false complaints.”

‘Time to put an end to this lie’

Knesset member Tzvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism Party), who chairs the subcommittee, told JNS that “the far-left extremist organizations spread false accusations against the heroic settlers, and in the United States, unfortunately, they listen to them and impose sanctions on the settlers. … It is time to put an end to this lie.”

According to investigative journalist Groner, citing OCHA data received by Michael Wolfowicz, a criminologist from the Hebrew University’s School of Law, from 2016-2022 there were 5,656 acts of violence carried out by settlers against Palestinians.

“However,” he said, “when you dive into all of the subcategories and details … you see that Arab attacks against Jews are also counted as settler violence.”

Thirty percent of the events documented by OCHA as “settler violence” didn’t even take place in Judea and Samaria, but rather in Jerusalem, and involved no actual violence, according to Groner. For instance, 1,300 incidents of Israeli Jews or tourists visiting the Temple Mount were labeled “settler violence,” he said.

“Newspapers all over the world are claiming a 300% increase in settler violence, but you have to understand this is another U.N. blood libel, because on the other side of this campaign, this same agency [OCHA] studies acts of violence by Palestinians against Israelis, and there they do the opposite, that is, they reduce [the numbers] tremendously.”

According to Groner, between 2016-2022 OCHA claimed that there were only 1,935 attacks by Arabs against Jews in Judea and Samaria, but according to the IDF in just half that period, from 2019-2022, the true figure was 25,257.

He said that breaking down the figures, there were 20 reported incidents of Jewish violence against Arabs, compared to 1,000 attacks by Arabs against Jews over the same period. Furthermore, only about 35% of the reported incidents of Jewish violence actually describe events involving settlers and violence.

“This is just a blood libel,” he reiterated. “They [OCHA] do the same thing when it comes to the IDF, accusing the IDF of killing [Arab] children.”

PURIM YERUSHALAYIM MESHULASH

 


A Lechem HaPanim Purim Story

Maud, the secretary of the Chief Rabbi of the Beit HaMikdash knocks furiously on her employer's door.

"Rabbi, sorry to disturb you but it's urgent! We just received this Aleph-mail over the RuachHakodeshNet from our chief spy in Rome. It seems that Titus has really got his tights in a knot this time and he is headed our way with more than a million centurions".

"Oy vey, cancel all my appointments for today and order a Uber-donkey. I need to pay an urgent call on what's their face … I keep forgetting their name … Grima, Gremlin, Groomer … You know who I mean, those guys who make the Lechem HaPanim?"

"You mean Garmu!"

"Yes, that's what I said … the Garmus. Call them by messenger pigeon to say that I am on my way!"

 One hour later in the Lishkat Osei Lechem Hapanim …

"Kevod HaRav, what an honor. To what do we owe the pleasure? Was there something wrong with last week's batch? A little too overdone perhaps? Not enough poppy seeds?"

"No, nothing like that. I want you to pull out the Lechem HaPanim recipe from the computer, the encrypted, secret one and hand it over. I am on a mission from G-d!"

"Is Kevodo referring to THE secret encrypted recipe, the one encoded in "https (Halachic Teshuva Top Priority Shita) protocol? The one that is classified FOEO (for our eyes only)?"

"Yep, that's the one. I need it pronto!"

"But Kevodo, you know that we are forbidden to disclose it to anyone who doesn't have clearance and, we are sorry … but you do not have clearance!"

"Clearance Shmearance, I am the Chief Rabbi of the Beit HaMikdash and I don't have all day! Do you know who is headed our way? Titus, yes TITUS, the one with tinnitus and he is only coming with a million centurions!!!!!!"
"Im kol hakavod to Titus, you may be on a mission from G-d, but we have explicit orders from Moshe Rabbeinu himself not to disclose the secret recipe to anyone!"

The Chief Rabbi's face starts to turn a darker shade of purple.

"Look, you either hand it over this minute, at the very worst … Aleph-mail it to me by attachment by midday, or you are all FIRED!"

"We are truly sorry you feel that way Rabbi (thinking to themselves: It seems it is not only Titus who has his tights in a knot today), but unfortunately we cannot oblige". 

"Right, pack your stuff and accompany security to the door. As of now you are all on early pension … without severance pay!"

The Chief Rabbi thinks to himself "What am I going to do now?" Suddenly he has a brainwave "I know!" He sends a carrier pigeon to his secretary with the message "Contact Ahmed el Salim bakery in Alexandria <stop> Tell them to charter the fastest Arabian stallions and hightail it to Jerusalem by week's end <stop>".

Three days later …

"How you doing Ahmed? The reason I summoned you so urgently, is because you guys make the best chocolate eclairs I have ever eaten and we have a situation here … We need you to replace the Grumblers and start reverse engineering the Lechem HaPanim. Failing that, we know you are expert hackers and if anyone can crack the Grummies 'https' password, it's you!"

The following morning, Ahmed et al. rolls up to Lishkat LechHem HaPanim bright and early with all their paraphernalia and set about trying to reverse engineer the famous Showbread.

Later that evening … the Chief Rabbi checks in to gauge their progress.

"Here you go el-Rabi – one perfect loaf of Lechem HaPanim!" Ahmed gushes.

"Lechem Al HaPanim you mean! Look at that deep crack on the left flank. And what is that mould I see forming underneath?"

"OK fellahs. Back to the drawing board", sighs a despondent Ahmed.

After a week, with no progress on the baking front and total failure in cracking the Garmus' https password, the Chief Rabbi is left with no choice.

"Listen guys, it was a good try, but I think you should stick to eclairs. BTW leave me a box before you go. Here are 1000 dinars for your trouble!"

Munching a chocolate éclair …

"Maud, cancel all my appointments for today and order another Uber-donkey. I am headed to Downtown Old-City".

The Chief Rabbi knocks on the Garmu family's door, proffering a box of chocolate eclairs (minus one).

"Kevod HaRav, what an honor. To what do we owe the pleasure? BTW, you have a small chocolate smear on your left cheek".

"Look guys, perhaps I was a little hasty. Please accept this small gift as a token of our appreciation. As it turns out, nobody can bake the Lechem HaPanim as well as you do, so I wanted to know your terms to return to work!"

The Garmu's mull it over for a few minutes …

"OK Kevodo, we agree to return to work, but on two conditions. 1. You double our salary and 2. You tell us where we can get more of these chocolate eclairs".

"No problem", the Chief Rabbi sighs in relief. "But promise me one thing. If you will not divulge the secret, at least print it out and seal it in a time capsule, you know, like in the Nicholas Cage movie, and bury it at these coordinates …"

Two weeks later, as expected, Titus trundles into Jerusalem and makes a beeline for the Heichal. As he enters, the fragrant aroma of freshly baked bread hits him in the face.

"Bread? Who eats bread these days? I was expecting at least chocolate eclairs, like those in the Pompeii Pumpernickel Poulangerie. Oh well guys – ransack the place!"  

Meanwhile, the Garmus are just filling in the hole over the time capsule that they buried at coordinates 32.1716° N, 35.0975° E as instructed by the chocolate-éclair-loving Chief Rabbi.

Fast forward 1954 years, Tu Bishvat.

An ex-South African baker, together with his kids, are digging a hole in the backyard to plant a mango tree. Suddenly the shovel strikes something hard, with a metallic sound …

And that is how it really happened.
