ping to excellent article
American law enforcement is being run by an organized crime boss, Attorney General Eric Holder, who behaves like he’s above the law and simply ignores and supports criminals. We are officially now in the Third World. Those who elected Obama will have to answer to their children and their incredulous grandchildren about how little attention they were paying to the safety of their own country in 2008 and again in 2012. Pray for the possibility of turning around the damage on all fronts that has been done under Obama.
Indeed it is an excellent article. But in reading the responses, most of those posting on this thread seem to have missed the point. Although Zimmerman was neither white nor Jewish, the firestorm started because some Black racist rabble rousing preachers were able to drum up rage based on Zimmerman’s traditionally Jewish name.
Personally I’be never met a Zimmerman who wasn’t Jewish, and I’ve never seen a race baiting black preacher who didn’t hate Jews.
So in essence it was the fact that Zimmerman had a Jewish last name that sent the mob into lynch mode.
Then you add into the mix a Cowardly RINO governor and state attorney general who chose to placate the Jew hating black mob and then mix in a couple of sociopathic win at all costs prosecutors and you have the Zimmermam trial circus.
The whole thing is an indictment of how far our society has drifted from its founding principles.
It's far worse. People who think about it and understand that the implications of "ginning up" black rabble rousers can't lead anywhere good are speaking out. But most people just follow their marching orders. There can't be freedom if people won't learn the facts and not let others decide their conclusions.
We've got a president who openly comdemns Snowden and praises Trayvon. Have we ever had an administration before that asked for chaos instead of calm? And the opposition is a bunch of near-traitor Republicans who are unwilling to defend and speak for that's probably a majority of US citizens.
Is this whole demise of the US population except for the elite manipulated by puppet-masters? I suspect so.
I do think that Holder threatened everyone with the “anonymous tip line” regarding Zimmerman. The more I think about it that is exactly how to justify coming up with obscure personal items about people that you’ve actually found in the NSA databases.
“It was an anonymous tipster sent it to us.”
So, who was Holder threatening? (Besides the obvious Zimmerman)
“Jesus was a teacher of Judaism.”
Of course He was—and more, as He claimed to be the Jewish Messiah—and rose from death after crucifixion to prove His claim.
The Covenant sealed in Jesus blood was with the Jewish people....AND extended to gentiles. The New Testament ( = “New Covenant”) book of Acts explains the integration of gentiles into the Jewish sect started by Jesus & His disciples (and that integration of gentiles was a profound struggle). The first part of Acts is almost entirely about Jews—taking place in Jerusalem, with Peter as the main figure.
Then a Pharisee named Saul—who violently oposed the Jesus-sect—was dramatically converted—and Acts (written by a physician named Luke) then follows his very adventurous missionary trips to gentiles in Asia Minor and Greece—explaining the good news of Jesus.
The end of Acts leaves Paul (Saul) under Roman house arrest, and the writer mysteriously quotes the book of Isaiah ch. 6:9-10 saying:
Go to these people and say:
You will listen and listen,
yet never understand;
and you will look and look,
yet never perceive.
27 For the hearts of these people
have grown callous,
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and be converted,
and I would heal them.[h]
28 Therefore, let it be known to you that this saving work of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen! (Acts 28:26-28)
It is clear from Acts that even at this early time (before 62 CE, when Paul was executed by Nero) — probably due to Paul’s spectacular missionary successes—that the Church was becoming more and more dominated by gentile believers—and the majority of the Jewish people had rejected the Jesus-sect...
Teachers of Judaism would never claim to be moshiah. A teacher steeped in and teaching torah would know from the get go that he did not meet the criteria for being moshiach.
