The New Middle East: Our 51st State That We Pledge Allegiance To

Every Gog V' Magog religious belief deals with different Middle East scenarios. For the Jews its Israel, Muslims its Pakistan, etc.
In the midst of all of this, is the fall of The American Empire that strikingly looks like Rome and more specifically the Fall of Rome.

With Arab Spring looking more and more of  a controlled demolition and implimentation of NWO, all one needs to do is look at the map of Middle East, see who is involved, and read whats up on deck next:

 Military force shouldn’t be ruled out as a response to an Iranian assassination plot on U.S. soil, the top House Republican on intelligence issues said.

“I don’t think you should take it off the table,” said Michigan Representative Mike Rogers, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said yesterday on ABC’s “This Week.” Rogers said other options would include rallying the international community against Iran or taking action against Iranian operatives in Iraq.

U.S. officials are considering what action to take following the Justice Department’s Oct. 11 accusation that Iran sponsored a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. The conspiracy involved a secret Iranian military unit and a citizen of the Islamic Republic with a U.S. passport.

President Barack Obama said this week that there were “direct links” to Iran’s government, which has rejected the allegation.

Two men were charged with conspiracy to use C-4 plastic explosives to murder Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir and attack Saudi installations in the U.S. Targets included “foreign government facilities associated with Saudi Arabia and with another country,” the U.S. said in a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan.

Increased Economic Sanctions

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she supports increased economic sanctions, especially against Iran’s Central Bank, with black lists of any foreign country or company that does business with the Central Bank.

Without some discussions to force Iran to change its policies, “we are on a collision course,” Feinstein said on the “Fox News Sunday” program. “If we want to avoid it, we have to take action to avoid it.”

She rejected a call from retired U.S. General Jack Keane, an architect of the troop surge in Iraq, for the U.S. to engage in covert operations to kill members of Iran’s Quds Force. Feinstein said that, while Quds leaders were aware of the plot, there’s no evidence that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the highest ranking religious and political authority in the country, knew of it.

“It probably would escalate into a war, and the question is: Do we want to go to war with Iran at this time?” Feinstein said. “My judgment is no. We have our hands full with Iraq, with Afghanistan, with the deteriorating relationship with Pakistan.”

Ahmadinejad Rejection

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected the U.S. allegations in a Tehran meeting yesterday. “Each day they try to campaign against Iran,” Ahmadinejad said, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.

Khamenei warned the U.S. that any action taken will be met with a “resolute” response, according to the Associated Press.

“If U.S. officials have some delusions, (they must) know that any unsuitable act, whether political or security, will meet a resolute response from the Iranian nation,” the AP said, citing a report on Iran’s state television.

Iran has claimed that the Obama administration made up the allegations to divert attention from unemployment, the Occupy Wall Street movement and other economic problems in the U.S.

Feinstein said she had initial doubts before learning some of the details learned by investigators.

“There should be no doubt, and the evidence is very strong,” she said. “The FBI believes that the case is both strong and good and will result in a conviction.”

Rogue Nation

Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost the 2008 presidential election to Democrat Obama, criticized the administration’s handling of Iran, which McCain yesterday called “a rogue nation.”

The administration’s “engagement with Iran has clearly been a failure,” McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

McCain said Obama should have done more when students protested on the streets of Tehran in 2009. McCain called for “severe sanctions” and said the U.S. should engage in “covert activity” to undermine the current Iranian government.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican presidential candidate, said Obama is “absolutely clueless” in his dealings with the Iranian government.

“Our goal should be the replacement of the Iranian dictatorship,” Gingrich, from Georgia, said on the CNN program. “We have done nothing of consequence to systematically undermine the regime.”

Troops to Africa

Gingrich also criticized the president’s plan to send 100 troops to central Africa to help fight against Uganda’s renegade Lord’s Resistance Army. The troops are to “provide assistance to regional forces” and are not to directly engage with the forces unless necessary for self-defense.

Gingrich called the strategy “nonsensical” and said the administration needs “a grand strategy and a set of priorities.”

“If you can’t control the American border, why do you disperse our troops?” Gingrich said.

The White House was responding to 2010 legislation pushed by a group of lawmakers and human rights organizations that supported a comprehensive U.S. effort short of active military involvement to mitigate or eliminate the Lord’s Resistance Army threat.

The Lord’s Resistance Army is “one of the most horrible groups to inhabit the earth,” McCain said. Still, he said, “we’ve got to be very careful in how we engage.”

He also said Obama should have done more to notify Congress of his intentions.

All one need to do is scan the map above, and you can envision a highway spanning from India (keeping China and Russia at bay) all the way to Morocco connecting up to Europe...the pieces are aligning with more precision than a doomsday astrological chart. The Middle East is nearly secured, especially after this Iranian War and the Fall of Pakistan Theory.

Read Tomer Devorah here  that discusses the famous prophecy of Saudi Arabia and Geulah playing out.

Every sector of the world has "2012 issues"

Economics, Religion, Politics, Science, etc..all monumental issues: the fall of physics, the fall of the dollar, the fall of the Middle East, the fall of governments...its everywhere.

Just dont believe blindly into 2012. Think 5772. Think Zohar, that spoke of this thousands of years ago. But don't stop thinking for yourself.

Gilad Shalit, Names, And The Akeidah? Blow The Other Shofar NU!

I did a name reading for Gilad Shalit, and I found something quite interesting: One of his gematria's is 179, Akeida (Binding of Isaac), which when we think into that story, Avraham offered up a ram INSTEAD OF Isaac, and the Midrash says that this ram will produce the Shofar of the End of Days, the other was blown on  Har Sinai. Needless to say, Noam Shalit did not sacrifice his son, and neither did Avraham in the end. This has been a great test for the Shalit Family to not lose hope, something that most of Am Yisrael helped take part in, something that I feel is a tremendous Kiddush Hashem, and deeply rooted in Torah Values. May this be the last time any Jew is faced with any type of Akeidah, having passed our exams to bring the Geulah, and may Gilad's coming home sound The Great Shofar,which the Ramchal says, its blower shall remain a mystery.


Here are my findings in Gematria:

• גלעד בן (נעם) אביבה = 179, Akeida...with the connotation that Avraham's test was to shecht Isaac, here we see the opposite test, to not give into losing one's child. in Remez, we often times see antithesis. For example, moshiach is the gematria nachash, the power to negate...thus Gilad as Akeidah is to fight for the life of one's child, and not do the sacrifice to him, but to sacrifice yourself with devotion to save his life...many suggest that Avraham's Tikkun was to bring Isaac up so that he could realize to save his life, this is the drusha of the pussuk, to bring him up "there", and to realize the ram (of redemption) was there the whole time, as it was destined from before creation, says the Midrash.
•  Letters of his name Shalit : 349, הפרדס = The Orchard, which stands for Pshat, Remez, Drush, and Sod..the 4 levels of exegesis in Torah, the ה signifies the totality of the 4 levels into a 5th comprehensive level, which when we look at the letters involved in the rest of his name, it spells אש בגן which when Pardes is rectified, it allows for expanded consciousness, or the element of Fire to arouse intellect, or "White Fire/Chashmal". Without the ש it spells, גן בא = The Garden comes, which Pardes rectified is hinted at as גן פרדס..the rectified "Garden", where intellect can begin with Remez first says the Gra, which makes Pardes look like this: רספד Remez leads to Sod/Secret -Secret reveals Pshat/Simple Meaning- into Drush/Extrapolation, into a level of ה = Where the Torah can explained Forever.
• End Letters: דהמן = That of Haman: The Midrash says, in the end of days, to get Jews to do Teshuva, Hashem will  stand up for us another Haman..Perhaps Gilad's name is hinting to us what is to come, maybe Gilad cleared out for us those Dinim?
• One of the Tribes is גד/Gad...his name means Mazal Tov. Gilad is " the yoke of Gad" that the Mazal Tov  that Gilad represents comes as a yoke. His life is not easy, not for him nor his family..May his family never have to bear his yoke again, and only bask with Mazal Tov of coming back home, and Bezrat Hashem a mazal tov of Geulah, where the yoke will be over.
• One of his gematrias is 232. Hashem's name can be explained as 4 numbers: 72/wisdom, 63/understanding, 45/tikkun, 52/blemish...the sum being 232, which is a fully established "world of operation"...Gilad shows that under it all, there still is a God running the world, even if we cant see it.
• Initial letters of his nameנ-אגב ...the nun/50 gates of understanding that comes happenstance. There is a concept called Ikvus Mashicha, the footsteps of Moshaich, that as the Geulah is hastened, we cant really follow the path of redemption, again on this level the world operates on Remez rather than Pshat, and it comes as a surprise and not head on as something we can follow. In this way,the Geulah, Understanding of it, just happens..the Midrash calls this, a likening of Hashem to an Ayil or Tzvi (2 types of deer), where Hashem just appears to us at the end...and only then will we understand.
• End Letters: מה דן = "What Judgement" or "Judge What"...His name implies, what is the judgement?
• The letters of his name spells מדנה, Medina, or country. A lot of people  have issues with taking the land by force and forming a country, or medina. It is interesting that this gematria is 744, which is the same as "do not force the end"..in the Talmud, the Jews made oaths not to take the land by force, and to not make a Medina, which this argument takes hold today. I think we should be here, and as the Gra says, to force the end means to force the building of the temple. One can not deny however, that Gilad's story sheds light on these issues, in particular of the Jews in the land before Geulah, even if justified, and how dangerous it can be to force the end.
• Lastly, his name has a נ which is 50/understanding, and the other letters is דמה. Adam is missing the Heh from the Ground/adamah which he was taken from. Had Adam rectified himself, he would have merited the Heh, giving his name a gematria of 50/with understanding,achieving a level of perfection. We see this task in Gilad's name, he has the 50, however he is missing the Alef. The דמה, instead of being "there is blood" can be הדם the footstool/דמה = similar to. As it says in Tehilim, Hashem says to Moshiach, wait at my right, until I make your enemies a footstool to your feet.Alef can also be Elef/1000..which is the gematria of Moshiach ben Yosef/David...may they be hidden no longer, and added to "Shalit" Shalit is 349+1 (alef) = 350 "Sechel/שכל...the intellectual level of the Moshiach and Geula, to preceive divinity, and redemption on earth..as it says, "Visualize Tzion'...even before its rebuilt.

May Gilad Shalit's Return Sound The Great Shofar We Have All Waited For.

Finally Gilad Is Free; Where Is Pollard?

A deal for the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit has been worked out with Hamas, reports in Israeli media and Arab satellite television station Al-Arabiya said Tuesday night. The government is meeting as this article is going to press, and government sources said that the deal is expected to be approved.

Official details have not yet been released, but reports say that Israel will release at least 1,000 terrorists in exchange for Shalit. including some that belong to organizations other than Hamas.
Israel has also agreed to ease demands on where the terrorists will be released to. Israel reportedly agreed to allow at least some of the terrorists to return to their families in Judea and Samaria; previously Israel had demanded that the terrorists be sent to Gaza, or deported.
The deal is set to take place in November, or possibly even before that.

The Shalit family declined to comment on the reports. Reports in Israeli media Tuesday night said that the family had received several additional “signs of life” that were not reported to the public, the latest about two years ago.

Israel's government declined to comment further, but a spokesperson in the Prime Minister's office said that “a short-term window of opportunity has opened to bring Giladhome.”
A report on a Hamas-affiliated TV station said that Hamas Gaza head Khaled Mashaal would release details of the deal later Tuesday night.

Israel Radio reported that the inner cabinet met on Monday night to discuss the deal, and members of the military and defense establishment were invited to present their opinions on it, especially the release of terrorists to areas within Judea and Samaria.
The Ministers reportedly discussed each of the terrorists to be released, and where Israel would demand they be sent.
One minister, quoted anonymously on Israel Radio said that the deal was not necessarily the best Israel could have gotten, but that “we all feel it is time to bring Gilad home.”



Now when will Biden be normal and encourage that Pollard can come home?
Being that Obama has used his Imam Mahdi self delusions of grandeur to use his Islamic pull and heritage to work on Hamas as to placate the Israeli sector: and well, it worked...now for Biden to show his ficticious anti anti- semetic inclinations...cue the breakage of Bibi at any moment and some embarassing moments by Livni.


At Least Gilad Will Be Home B'H!

The Tarmadoy: Amalek And Our Return To Babylon

It is said, the President of the US is a depiction of Gog (Magog)
Bavel (Babylon), which is one facet of the Galus we are in now,as all 6 Gulios that we have gone through, have a curtain call in the end of days. In this scenario, we see the Tarmadoy's as a main function of the personification of Bavel and Nevuchadnetzer. Bavel in Hebrew is בבלה, when we take each letter, one place higher, it reads: מגוג    the ב=ג and מ=ל and ו=ה in the direction of upwards one placement.
It has been said and found in the Torah Codes that Obama is Gog of Gog v' Magog...and during Bush's tenure, the concept of the American President as Gog became chic.

Here is some of what has been written of the Tarmadoy's:

The Tarmodites are the NWO/Masonic/CFR of today, and originated in Tadmor (Palmyra) in the Syrian Desert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra
They are a worse klippah than Amolek.

Rothschild writes:

Slave Insurrection

The Talmud is explicit regarding whose feet must be terminated: “until the expiration of the feet of theTarmodites.”

[King Solomon acquired Tarmodite slaves from Asia Minor to construct the First Temple. Prophecy dictated the architecture of the building; every component had a spiritual counterpart above. The mathematical formulae, measurements and design possessed spiritual significance. Specifically, they reflected the process by which God’s life force is channeled into the world.

The Tarmodite slaves rebelled and stole this knowledge. From those times a “new enlightenment” prospered, based on the Kabbalistic significance of the Temple. The problem with Tarmodite occultism is its foundation of sun-sheath idolatry. Similar to Ham, the Tarmodites knowingly rebel against God.   

As mentioned earlier, the word Tarmodite contains the same letters as the word rebel, as in the Talmudic dictum: “a wife rebels against her husband.” Tarmodites epitomize the antithesis of the aforementioned truth: “A women only bonds with the man who makes her into a vessel.” Rather, they are stuffed and plugged vessels, filled with strange and selfish desires – incapable of receiving Divine light.

However, “the lips of the wise” tap into faith and fashion a crown for their knowledge. They are the opposite of the fools who don’t acknowledge that God creates the world. Similarly, by means of their strengthened faith, Mattiyahu and his sons beat Antiochus the sun worshiper. They transformed him to “one who reckons by the moon.” He was shrunk from his previous state of being “bright as the sun.”

[Jews are commanded to count months based on the lunar cycle. Non-Jews, however, base their calendar exclusively on the sun’s movements.]

And due to the miracle the Jews experienced, together with the lofty revelation they brought down to the world, the Second Temple sages instituted the kindling of Chanukah lights “until the termination of the Tarmodite’s feet.”

That is, even though their Evil Inclination now forces them to rebel, it will itself also “expire” in its yearning for God.

 Crave Conversion

  

Scripture writes: “Since I am God, I don’t change; but you the sons of Jacob haven’t expired?” The prophet is amazed. A person meditates about “I am God, I don’t change.” He contemplates how “You are the same before You created the worlds as You are after You created the worlds. The Creation didn’t alter You in the least.” Yet the meditation didn’t have an effect. The individual’s soul wasn’t consumed in heavenly bliss!

The prophet answers his own question: “you the sons of Jacob.” When Jacob was born, Genesis tells us “his hand grasped his brother’s heel; his name was called Jacob.” When the letter yud is removed from Jacob, the word “heel” is spelled. Chassidus infers that this hints at the transgressions a person tramples under his heels.

David said: “My strength fails because of my inequity.” His strength foundered so much that he was unable to overcome his Evil Inclination.

But due to the Chanukah miracle’s enormous revelation of Holiness – which descended into the worlds thanks to the protagonists’ faith – even the Tarmodites were transformed. They became the embodiment of “love God with both your Inclinations.” Their Evil Inclination’s drive was converted into a yearning for Godliness.

Concealment Containers

[Tarmodites are masters of concealment. Their mastery, however, is not absolute, even though it extends all the way to the initial moment after Creation – when the primordial vessels of the name Lord exist in the residue of the Great Contraction.

Prior to Creation, God’s Infinite Light filled all of “space.” God then withdrew that light to make finite creation possible. Kabbalah calls this withdrawal “the Great Contraction.” It was carried out by God’s infinite power of concealment via His Name Elo-him – the Lord.

A residue of this power remained after it completed its task. In that residue lies the initial manifestation of the vessels of the name Lord. This is referred to in Kabbalah as the ultimate spiritual source of the four elements – fire, wind, water and earth.

In their source, the four elements exist as a single point. Through the combination and recombination of vessels (Hebrew letters), more and more spiritual entities are formed. This process of differentiation and multiplication continues nearly to infinity. A physical model representing the Tarmodites’ mastery over creation is the pyramid. From a single point on top, the pyramid broadens out on all sides until its base accounts for the totality of created reality.

The problem here is that God is left out of the picture. Although according to the superficial sun-sheath mindset one seems to have mastery over the vessels of the Lord, those vessels are bereft of the revelation of God. This is the exact opposite of Torah, where unity is achieved between the names God and Lord.

Covert Operation

What’s more, the Tarmodites intentionally rebel against God. They are aware of a transcendent (albeit concealed) Revelation, but their intent is to ensure its permanent concealment. This is similar to the generation of Babel. They also were masters of spiritual and physical reality. In building their tower to heaven, they conspired to “exile” heaven from human consciousness. For should Heaven be revealed, the Infinite Light of God would render their mastery hollow, to put it mildly. So in order to remain in control, they rebelled against God.

It should be noted that this idolatry continues today. The occult knowledge of modern idolators is not pure, but aside from that, their battle isn’t just against the revelation of God.

The nation of Amalek attacked the Jews in the wilderness after they left Egypt. Haman, the evil Persian minister who conspired to exterminate the Jews, was a descendent of Amalek.

In every generation, souls of Amalekites reincarnate in the bodies of Israel’s enemies. Their purpose is to murder Jews, and to destroy whatever Jews accomplish. On a spiritual plane, Amalek also makes war on God. Modern-day Tarmodites are also Amalekites. The Zohar assures us that the Messiah will annihilate them.]

It is said that the power of Chanukah as a Geulah Shlemah will rid the earth of the Tarmadoy: They were the power against Moshe Rabbeinu while he was on the mountain. Their strength was in the extra long duration of Tefilat Mincha...thus their defeat is through the mastery of Jewish Time, the idea that one can pray Mincha into the beginning of the night. The Talmud says, they were the last to leave the Shuk/Market. When Chanuka runs its course as the Geulah Shlemah, and ends all Galios, (all 6: Yishmael, Yavan, Edom, Mitzrayim, Bavel,and Peras) evil will be rid of from the world...as Chanukah serves as the ultimate Redemption, the one true redemption that we are still working on its completion and fulfillment,against its opposite in Klippah, not Yavan/Greece, but Bavel, the Essential Primer of all Galus.

May we see this Chanukah 5772, as the year of מ''א, [the missing משיח and  אליהו of the Chanukah we knew and was missing] and be the Chanuka of Geula Shlema.

The Zionist Dream: Knowledge Of Good And Bad?

When the Exiles began to come back to the land, one thing was simple: The Jews will have all the money, but farming and military will be pathetic there...so the pundits thought.

Fast forward to the middle of the tenure, something strange was happening: The Jews could farm and fight, but where was the money?

Now, in 2011, did The Erev Rav figure out the trifecta? Read these 3 articles to gain perspective:

Farming: Among Israel's many achievements the Ministry of Agriculture’s Research Institute near Rishon le Tzion produces staggering results in long and better shelf life for fruits and vegetables.  That allows products to be shipped by sea instead of air freight, thus reducing export costs. Many of Israel's agriculturalists also avoid chemicals and achieve larger crops with the aid of the use of colors. In addition, Israe's water shortage prevents cultivating grass for cattle food, yet the 'milk yield' of Israeli cows is the best in the world!  Israel National Radio's Water Bingham explains it all on his show called, Walter's World.  

Military:  A United States Air Force report asserts that Israel is building a nuclear naval force meant to respond to any nuclear strike by such countries as Iran or Iraq.

It is the first time a U.S. military institution has stated that Israel has produced a hydrogen bomb. The number of purported Israeli nuclear weapons cited in the report is double that of previous assessments.
The report, sponsored by the air force's Counterproliferation Center, asserts that the navy can deploy any of what it asserts is Israel's 400 atomic and hydrogen weapons, Middle East Newsline reported. The center is located in the Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

In a report entitled "The Third Temple's Holy of Holies: Israel's Nuclear Weapons," U.S. Army Col. Warner Farr said Israel's nuclear arsenal has grown from an estimated 13 nuclear bombs in 1967 to 400 nuclear and thermonuclear weapons. Farr said Israel's navy could deploy nuclear weapons on the fleet of three German-built Dolphin-class diesel submarines.

"Israel will then have a second strike capability with nuclear cruise missiles, and this capability could well change the nuclear arms race in the Middle East," the report, which Farr said is based on unclassified sources, read. "Israeli rhetoric on the new submarines labels them 'national deterrent' assets."

The report said these nuclear missiles could have a range of 350 kilometers. Israel would try to base its nuclear naval force near Oman, with which Israel has informal relations, the September 1999 report, which was recently published by the center, said.


"The first basing options for the new second-strike force of nuclear missile capable submarines include Oman, an Arab nation with unofficial Israeli relations, located strategically near Iran," the report said.



Israel is the 10th ranked army in the world...click here to see stats.

Money: JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Standard & Poor's has upgraded Israel's credit rating to A+.

The new rating, which was issued Saturday, means that Israel's Finance Ministry can borrow at a lower interest rate with lower financing costs. Israel's rating had been A; the highest rating is AAA.

S&P said, "The rating action reflects our view of Israel's improved economic policy flexibility as a result of strong growth and careful macroeconomic management," S& P said.

The agency went on to say that "Israel is on a credible path toward continued government debt burden reduction and stronger external indicators."

S&P said it did not believe that the social protests in Israel would affect the country's budget or budget deficit.

Stanley Fischer, the governor of the Bank of Israel, in reaction to the upgraded credit rating, said the Israeli economy would continue to justify the confidence given by the upgrade and that the bank through its monetary policies would target price stability, employment, growth and financial stability.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the upgrade was the international economic community's "certificate of honor and of responsibility regarding investments in Israel."

"This is a message to investors. This is a good country," he said. "This is a country that in complete contrast to the global trend is improving and maintaining a correct and responsible economy, and therefore it is worthwhile to invest in it."

Emes: The picture is not all rosy for the Erev Rav: As the Erev Rav includes the Erev Katan, the "religious" branch of evil infiltration of The Jewish People. The Jewish people experience the concept of Aliyah,to go up in greatness..whereas the religious evil is in essential free fall.

It was said of the End of Days, Emes / Truth will be lacking in those days.

Money+ Farming+ Military - Truth = Failure!

May Moshiach come soon and flourish with Emes, so we can return to the Real Eretz Yisrael, one with the Beis Hamikdash built and a built up Jerusalem..connected to Jerusalem above, Derech Bais Shlishi...Ezekial's Temple.

Money will turn to Tzedaka

Farming will turn to Myser

Military will turn to planting the Land

And Emes will sprout from the Earth (Eretz Yisrael)

Moshiach 5772....The war with the Erev Rav will be the most bitter (especially one with power after waiting for thousands of years to reign unmitigated)

May Kedusha succeed THIS YEAR! And The Torah Will Spread Out From Tzion!

How Many Ipod's Does It Take To Power Today's Yeshiva Buchor In Shiur?

Attention! Steve Jobs brought Moshiach!

Ok, not really, but lets look at this with some perspective.

The Gemara says in the end of days,the beis midrash will turn to znus/immorality...the question is, how will this happen?

Let's look at the Yeshiva Buchor through relative history. Until very recently, one would have had to try very very hard to turn the study hall into immorality. By day people were learning, and by night there were usually a few masmidim keeping the midnight oil going.
This condition was the norm lets say from the time going back to yeshiva's inception as we know it today starting in the year 1800, until today 2011.
But something happened that has changed the face of the yeshiva world...that something is called 9/11. No, not the 9/11 tragedy that we all saw in NY, the tragedy that spawned from that 9/11 day: Technology.


For whatever reason that we can agree on, the tech. burst that came from 9/11 has changed the yeshiva: even killing it...which I feel WILL bring geulah..here is the breakdown...that leads us back to the Gemara.

Take yourself back to 1999..and the status of  the yeshiva.  What would a buchor do on any given, let's say: Tuesday?
If he is shtark, he'll be learning all day. If he is less shtark, he'll learn, he'll sleep,he'll  meet somewhere in town with the chevre. Point being: whatever groycer zachin he is into, it will be far from the beis midrash..what is he gonna do?- invite the gal inside while the Avreichim are learning? I think not.
Now lets get to 2002...just after 9/11.
There is an invention called the laptop, I don't have one, but some do. Windows is what works, and yeah I used to have an Apple 2e, back in 1989...but Apple today? uh, yeah right.
Wait, you don't have an ipod? An i - what?
ipod..get used to saying it...Steve Jobs is here.
It was right around the new millennium that Steve Jobs changed the world with his ipod. I remember in 2003 my brother flew in from London with his new ipod..I wasn't interested, as my CD's were still holding up quite well...but was there something to this new gadget?

The Buchorim of that year 2003,I had noticed something, from the previous years, 2000,2001,2002: they were in their rooms an awful lot! More than the other years...again, as in previous years, you had to really try to find a way to waste time. I didn't even know how I could find a movie to watch in 2001, or an episode of Seinfeld...I mean, Tzfat in that time, one really had to look hard to productively waste time.
By 2003, more and more kids had laptops..and the ipod is a regular fixture, with its 25,000 song capacity...so the guys are sharing songs...no big deal. They are burning movies onto discs for the laptop..no big deal. Then in 2006...it all changed: Rafi showed up to yeshiva with an Apple computer..Huh? Yes: Steve Jobs has taken over the world...much to my surprise, does Apple really matter? After all this time? The answer was, yes, just wait...
By 2006, everyone had their ipods, computers, yadda yadda yadda. ..we all know the story at that point, technology is here to stay...and videos are coming handheld...get ready..everything you ever wanted, is here, and here to stay...
Fast forward to 2008/9/10:
These ipods have movies on them..the laptop: obsolete...and everyone is doing it. This brings the point into focus, the Buchor doesn't have to travel far to find his vices...all day..unlimited downloads, movies, cartoons, YouTube, you name it...it is there, in his room, a vice that he never has to "wake up" ever again.

For the Baal Teshuva, this may be nothing more than a novelty, but focus on the Talmidim of lets say, Bnei Berak...this is the real Steve Jobs invasion..The Haredi world, and all the more so Baal teshuva world.
Now we move forward into the ipad iphone dimension...where the gemara resonates loud and clear.
The Buchor need not even stay in bed all day...he can go into the Beis Midrash, with his gemara in one hand, and his Znus in the other hand.

The possibilities of what they are watching, Frum Kids who never even left Bnei Brak type kids, have the whole world of filth at their fingertips..and this can happen right in front of the Rebbe as the shiur is going on! Imagine then what goes on in the Baal Teshuva yeshivas, where they have a knowledge of the world already coming in to the yeshiva...the znus is unimaginable..as on the iphone, you can do virtually whatever you want..all in the halls of sanctity, and as in the face of Hashem, davka.

The Rabbanim have tried to forbid these devices, but I'm afraid its too late...who is patrolling the night shift?
The yeshiva, as pictured above was virtually impossible to pervert. The doors were closed to the world, and if you were there, you were learning. End of story.

Shiur today may contain: texting, youtube-ing, ipod-ing, etc.
And what goes on at night in the study halls? ....perhaps the Messianic Prophecy fulfilled...Znus will fill the study halls.

Today, Steve Jobs runs wild in the sacred halls of  Judaism, a war that no one even attempts to fight. It is not about forbidding these devices, its about uprooting the problem.
Now even the Frum, don't read Talmud, they read Apps. No one owns Sforim, they read Tablets...we get the idea.
The Yeshiva has been taken over..rebbes don't have to prepare anymore,as their students aren't even challenging their minds like they used to, people don't show up, the list goes on of this unprecidented yeridah of the generation

Technology is great, it just happens to be the biggest test we have ever faced. Thank You Steve Jobs, now I can visualize what it will be like to see my life as a movie when I get upstairs. You have helped me identify concepts in a brand new way that I can perceive the ways of Hashem. You have also killed the Yeshiva World. That which appears to be Sam Chaim, the spice of life, may be Sam Mavet..the kiss of death.

The world lost Steve Jobs...and he may have taken the whole ship with him. If Moshiach would just come now, maybe we could salvage this thing and realize how it all is for the best. If its a long wait, then, so be it, and we'll just blame Steve Jobs for taking the life of Al Davis (one of the founding forefathers of football, and a known Jew), who died just after Jobs...and maybe now Jews will stop watching football and get back to reality..its a stretch, but we gotta blame someone for taking Al Davis...at least now maybe the Raiders may be normal...
Seriously though, Steve Jobs infiltrated a place that was impenetrable until now: The Yeshiva...this has and will send ripples into the entire world, as the last place we have, is the study halls, a prophecy of Bilaam, that may signal we really are at the end..and maybe this Gemara mentioned above of the study halls turning to immorality will usher in a speedy Geualah to thwart the damage. Steve Jobs did great things, he even saved the world at the expense of killing many Jews, at this point at least in potential.

One of the biggest things we see from this is sharing: before the flood, their biggest sin was stealing. Steve Jobs didn't create stealing, as it preexists him, what he did do, was make stealing perfectly legal, to the tune that today if you don't steal through sharing you are just not normal.  If stealing brought the flood, what will this monstrosity bring? Does anyone not steal today? Did you buy every mp3 song file that you own? Does anyone care? It is mandatory to steal, and do I blame Steve Jobs? No. Did he usher it in? Yes. Is he held accountable? Irrelevant,  it happened, and he helped make it really really possible, as he put his face on THAT map. In the end of things, it's here...and Moshiach is on the way...do the math.


May Hashem bring the Geulah soon and save us from destruction..A Time Of Trouble For Yaakov, And From It You Will Be Saved!

Hashem Really Really Really Really Wants Moshiach!

This Quadruple Rainbow means something...doesn't it? Wishful thinking aside...maybe there is just HOPE.
Did Noach and Shem see it this way? Are we on the verge of a breakthrough in time too? A remembering of our Brit with Hashem?
May Hashem remember that He has promised to send us Eliyahu and to redeem His nation Israel.

Forget the double rainbow. This year, the quadruple rainbow is all the rage.

A new photograph shows the first-ever evidence of an elusive fourth-order rainbow.

The spectacle in the image looks like a double rainbow, because it only shows the third-order (tertiary) rainbow (left), accompanied by the fourth-order (quaternary) rainbow (right). They appear on the sunward side of the sky, at approximately 40 degrees and 45 degrees, respectively, from the sun. Tertiary and quaternary rainbows can only form on the same side of the sky as the sun, unlike primary and secondary rainbows. As such, the primary and secondary rainbows are on the other side of the sky and so not shown in the new photo.

Few people have ever claimed to see even three rainbows in the sky at once. Scientific reports of these phenomena, called tertiary rainbows, were so rare — only five were reported in 250 years — that until now many scientists believed they were as real as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

These legendary optical rarities, caused by three reflections of each light ray within a raindrop, have finally been confirmed, thanks to photographic perseverance and a new meteorological model that provides the scientific underpinnings to find them. The work is described in a series of papers in a special issue published this week in the journal Applied Optics. [Related: Weirdo Weather: 7 Rare Weather Events]

The optical treasure hunt even went one step further, as revealed in the photo that shows the shimmering trace of a fourth rainbow. 

How they form

One year ago, Raymond Lee, a professor of meteorology at the U.S. Naval Academy, predicted how tertiary rainbows might appear and challenged rainbow chasers to find them.

Although staggeringly rare, tertiary and quaternary rainbows are natural products of the combination of refraction, dispersion and reflection inside raindrops. These are the same processes that create all rainbows, yet they are taken to their extreme to produce these higher order variants. Refraction is when sunlight bends as it moves from air into water and vice versa. (Such bending makes oars look bent when partially submerged.) Water droplets bend each of the colors in sunlight by a slightly different angle. This is called dispersion, and it separates the colors to create a rainbow.

Most of that multicolored light passes through the other side of the raindrop, but some is reflected. The raindrop's spherical curves concentrate those reflections at 138 degrees from the sun. This concentrated light is bright enough to create a visible primary rainbow.

A double rainbow occurs because not all that light exits the raindrop. Some is reflected back into the raindrop and goes through the whole process again. Although this light is dimmer, sometimes it is bright enough to produce a secondary rainbow just outside the first.

A third series of reflections creates a tertiary rainbow. It is even dimmer than the secondary rainbow, and much harder to find because instead of forming away from the sun, a tertiary rainbow forms around the sun. To see it, observers have to look into the sun's glare.

This may be why only five scientifically knowledgeable observers had described tertiary rainbows during the past 250 years.

Lee reviewed each description. He eliminated one questionable account and found common elements in the others. All described tertiary rainbows that appeared for a few seconds against a dark background of clouds about 40 degrees from a brightly shining sun.

Along with colleague Philip Laven, Lee used a mathematical model to predict what conditions might produce visible tertiaries. First, they needed dark thunderclouds and either a heavy downpour or a rainstorm with nearly uniformly sized droplets. Under these conditions, if the sun broke through the clouds, it could project a tertiary rainbow against the dark clouds nearby. The contrasting colors would make the dim tertiary visible.

Rainbow chaser challenge

When Lee presented his findings at last year's International Conference on Atmospheric Optics, it sparked heated discussion. Some scientists insisted that past descriptions were wrong and that tertiaries were too dim to see in the sun's glare.

One attendee, Elmar Schmidt, an astronomer at Germany's SRH University of Applied Sciences in Heidelberg and a rainbow chaser, took the guidelines as a challenge. He alerted likeminded amateurs. Since then, Michael Grossman and Michael Theusner have snapped photos of tertiary rainbows and one photo of a quaternary rainbow. Both images, which underwent only minimal image processing to improve the contrast under these challenging photographic conditions, also appear in the Applied Optics special issue.

The day Grossman photographed the tertiary rainbow, he first recalled seeing a double rainbow. When the rain intensified, he knew he had to turn toward the sun.

"It is really exaggerated to say that I saw it, but there seemed to be something," Grossman said. The pictures he snapped in the rain were the first to show a tertiary rainbow.

Of the noteworthy discovery, Lee said, "It was as exciting as finding a new species."

Way To Go Israel, Way To Go!!! (Now Where Is The Higgs Nu?)

Score, a direct hit by the Israeli Scientific Force. Next up: Stuxnet 2.0...

 — Israeli scientist Dan Shechtman was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for a discovery that faced skepticism and mockery, even prompting his expulsion from his research team, before it won widespread acceptance as a fundamental breakthrough.

While doing research in the U.S. in 1982, Shechtman discovered a new chemical structure — quasicrystals — that researchers previously thought was impossible.

He was studying a mix of aluminum and manganese in an electron microscope when he found the atoms were arranged in a pattern — similar to one in some traditional Islamic mosaics — that appeared contrary to the laws of nature.

He concluded that science was wrong — but it would take years for him and other researchers to prove that he was right.

Since then, quasicrystals have been produced in laboratories and a Swedish company found them in one of the most durable kinds of steel, which is now used in products such as razor blades and thin needles made specifically for eye surgery, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. Quasicrystals are also being studied for use in new materials that convert heat to electricity. They were first discovered in nature in Russia in 2009.

Despite the initial reluctance in the scientific community to accept his discovery, it "fundamentally altered how chemists conceive of solid matter," the academy said in its citation for the 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award.

"The main lesson that I have learned over time is that a good scientist is a humble and listening scientist and not one that is sure 100 percent in what he read in the textbooks," Shechtman, 70, told a news conference Wednesday at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.

Shechtman is a professor there and at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. He will receive the award along with the other Nobel Prize winners at a Dec. 10 ceremony in Stockholm.

Israel has won 10 Nobel prizes, a source of great pride in the country of just 7.8 million people. Shechtman was congratulated by Israeli President Shimon Peres, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize as Israel's foreign minister in 1994, and by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Every citizen of Israel is happy today and every Jew in the world is proud," Netanyahu said.

In chemical terms, a crystal is traditionally defined as a regular and repeating arrangement of atoms within a material. As a results of these repeats, traditional crystals can have only certain shapes.

What Shechtman found was a material that seemed to have a forbidden shape. Eventually, scientists realized it was a new kind of matter, a quasicrystal, in which the atomic patterns show a more subtle kind of repetition that allows forbidden shapes.

"His battle eventually forced scientists to reconsider their conception of the very nature of matter," the academy said.

Nancy B. Jackson, president of the American Chemical Society called Shechtman's discovery "one of these great scientific discoveries that go against the rules." When Shechtman announced it, other experts hesitated.

"People didn't think that this kind of crystal existed," she said. "They thought it was against the rules of nature."

Only later did some scientists go back to some of their own inexplicable findings and realized they had seen quasicrystals but not realized what they had, Jackson said.

"Anytime you have a discovery that changes the conventional wisdom that's 200 years old, that's something that's really remarkable," said Princeton University physicist Paul J. Steinhardt, who coined the term "quasicrystals" and had been doing theoretical work on them before Shechtman reported finding the real thing.

Steinhardt recalled the day when a fellow scientist showed him Shechtman's paper in 1984, reporting the kind of result Steinhardt had predicted. "I sort of leapt in the air," he said.

Staffan Normark, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy, said Shechtman's discovery was one of the few Nobel Prize-winning achievements that can be dated to a single day.

On April 8, 1982, while on a sabbatical at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C. — now called the National Institute of Standards and Technology — Shechtman first observed crystals with a shape most scientists considered impossible.

It had to do with the idea that a crystal shape can be rotated by a certain amount and still look the same.

A square contains fourfold symmetry, for example: If you turn it by 90 degrees, a quarter-turn, it still looks the same. For crystals, only certain degrees of such symmetry were thought possible. Shechtman had found a crystal that could be rotated one-fifth of a full turn and still look the same, which was thought to be impossible.

"I told everyone who was ready to listen that I had material with pentagonal symmetry. People just laughed at me," Shechtman said in a description of his work released by his university.

For months he tried to persuade his colleagues of his find, but they refused to accept it. Finally he was asked to leave his research group, and moved to another one within the National Bureau of Standards, Shechtman said.

He returned to Israel, where he found one colleague prepared to work with him on an article describing the phenomenon. The article was at first rejected, but finally published in November 1984 — to uproar in the scientific world. Double Nobel winner Linus Pauling was among those who never accepted the findings.

"He really was a great scientist, but he was wrong. It's not the first time he was wrong," Shechtman told reporters Wednesday.

In 1987, friends of Shechtman in France and Japan succeeded in growing crystals large enough for x-rays to repeat and verify what he had discovered with the electron microscope.

"The moment I presented that the community said, 'OK Dani, now you are talking. Now we understand you, now we accept what you have found,'" Shechtman told reporters.

Cesar Pay Gomez, a structural chemistry expert at Uppsala University in Sweden and an adviser to the prize committee, said research on quasicrystals is ongoing "in the field of thermal-electric applications, where waste heat can be converted to electrical currents or energy."

Is Albert Einstein the next scientific model to fall down?...as they have found Neutrinos that break Einsteinian thought that the cosmic speed limit is the speed of light, whereas the Neutrinos have been spotted to accelerate faster than the speed of light.
Science appears ready to unite back within the Torah much to the chagrin of [Jewish led] scientists...as predicted by the Vilna Gaon in Kol Hator, a prediction to Geulah Times!
