HenryMakow.com – June 23, 2022
I was taught Communism was “public ownership” and the overthrow of capitalist tyranny, not how certain capitalists stole the wealth of other capitalists while pretending to champion the working class. This is their “Magick” i.e. deceit or lying, i.e. COVID, easy when you own the mass media, doctors & politicians.
German Secret Service documents instructed the Bolsheviks to “destroy the Russian capitalists as far as you please, but it would by no means be possible to permit the destruction of Russian enterprises.”
(This is an update of an important article, “The Illuminati World of Make-Believe” first posted in 2007.)
By Henry Makow PhD
If you asked Genghis Khan for his formula for world conquest, you’d expect to hear “overwhelming force” or “terror.”
You would NOT expect to hear, “‘Make-believe.'”
“Make-believe?” Who is this tyrant? Walt Disney?
Yet in the First Protocol of the ” Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the author says three times, Our Countersign is “Force and Make-believe.”
“Make-believe” is the Illuminati’s “Magick.” Magick is simply deceit or lying which is pretty easy to do when you own the mass media and educators.
The evil magician Aleister Crowley defined Magick as “the science and act of causing change to occur in conformity with will… any willed change in ourselves or in our environment is Magick.”
In other words, Magick is reshaping the world according to their interests. The Illuminati are masters at using false pretexts to do this. Our reality is largely their magick spell.
I finally noticed this when I read “The Truth About the Slump” (1931) by A.N. Field.
The Bolshevik Revolution was portrayed as an egalitarian revolt. In fact, the Illuminati Jewish bankers financed it to confiscate Russian industry. (pp.62-72)
German Secret Service documents instructed the Bolsheviks to “destroy the Russian capitalists as far as you please, but it would by no means be possible to permit the destruction of Russian enterprises.”
The German Imperial Bank sent the Bolsheviks in excess of 60 million rubles. Documents 10 and 11 between the bankers and the Bolsheviks “give a complete synopsis of the terms on which the German banks after the war were to control Russian industry.” (p. 69)
Of course German Secret Service Chief Max Warburg, the brother of US Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Warburg, was behind this. We’re talking about international bankers and their confederates here.
DIS-ILLUSION

Plenty of “revelation of the method” and “making manifest all that is hidden” from these Jewish truthers.
I guess we are just meant to sit here and gaze on in awe and paralysis at the super criminals who run the world. Our final initiation into subhumans is complete. We sit here and do nothing while they cut our children’s genitals, kill our babies and subvert reality entirely.
Mind control works and we are living proof. We are no better than MK Ultra beta slaves. Our awareness of their plans gives them consent to carry them out. We do nothing – we are found guilty of allowing evil to flourish and claiming to be helpless against it. This is their magick too.
That whole visage screams, ‘MYZTEERIOUZ KABALEEEST BANKAH!!! Muuuwwwwwaaaahaaaaaaaaa!’
Not just the German banks, but Wall Street, London and Swiss banksters were part of the entire scheme, backing the Bolsheviks controlled and directed by the then Rothschild dynasty with tentacles everywhere, but mostly out of and also promoted by Old Jolly (England) with a history of backing and promoting creeps such as Karl Marx and funding various efforts in the 19th century to overthrow the Russian establishment and of course the 1905 attempted communist revolution in Russia.
The Zionists coincidentally with the backing of the same money power to get off of the ground have been a most ruthless lot and many people who have got over their conspiracy theoryitis have no problem seeing that these people despite their cartels everywhere have no monopoly on the sociopathic methods used to gain, sustain and increase their wealth and power. Just look at the histories of the Roman Empire, France, Spain, England, China, Japan, and in particular the history of the US. History from the perspective of the power game is simply one of might makes right, exclusive rights, privileges, high crimes, endemic injustice, rampant insider preference, murder, blackmail, conspiracies, mass deceptions, etc., etc. Incidentally these are the very things which entertainment for most people thrives upon.
Unlike the Jews who put their blood and lives into the birth and beginnings of Christianity in an effort to bring all people to the true God and reform us from the use of these diabolical methods, and especially from the doctrine of might makes right, the remaining Jews for the most part kept their blood and lives to their exclusive tribal loyalties and advancement, fighting back most often with more intelligent machinations, and as a result were able particularly over the last five hundred years to capitalize on the wars, empire building, exploits of the nations of the West whose establishments had squandered their Christian heritage for a pottage of mammon which has become their present god. Hence, in the war between these various evils it appears that the Jews have run circles around the gentile monarchs and powerbrokers all of whom are equally amoral and sociopathic.
Apart from that controversy, there is not one Western institution I have found in my life where those at the top are not really disciples of mammon and adherents to the rule of might makes right. What you get from the top of all our leading institutions is generally the “will to power” and the exercise of that so-called “Magick” which Henry talks about, or an obeisance to some even more evil power higher up the pyramid, and that is precisely why power corrupts. Power is simply the ability to do what you want and the more you have of it the more you can assert your own will. Having power without the checks and balances from the people you ought to be serving, or even from a people not connected to and acting in conformity to the will and nature of the true God, all you will have is more and more corruption. That is all we can see today in the running of any of our institutions and you cannot just sit back as so many of you do and blame the Jews. They have won the power war not just though their solidarity, intelligence, and skills with money but also because it is a war which Christians cannot fight using the same means. In any case, once won it is only a Pyrrhic victory, because the real war is the war between the kingdom of heaven and that of that which rules this earth.
Makow: “Communism is satanic. Its symbol, the five-pointed star, is satanic. The communist manifesto calls for the destruction of family, culture, science and religion (atheism), the confiscation of property and inheritance, control of communications and dictatorship. It also calls for private central banks and an income tax. Yet it has been tolerated and even praised. ”
Makow scares us again with communism but communism in itself is not satanic but ‘Jewish communism’ (Jewish internationalism) is because it is based on the power of the Jewish nwo-elite (Illuminati) and not on the power of the people. Whenever power is not with the people everything is dangerous, including capitalism as we see. By creating an insatiable fear of communism, Makow promotes Jewish capitalism and the power of the Jewish wef-mafia. Unlike Jewish communism real or non-satanic communism can only be realized through democratic socialism if the people are ready for it.
Psycho-Techno mesmerism with a big dash of pharmacopeia.
Would you like to super-size that..
What they’ve done to Russia during bolshevik revolution they are doing today to western world, they want to eliminate working and middle class so these jew overlords can rule the unarmed powerless remnants of population not destroyed by their vaccines yet…Even if you don’t believe the Bible, it’s obvious they are the ones described as Synagogue of satan by Saint John in Revelation Book.
Listen to Benjamin Freeman for the people who masterminded the creation of the Bolshevik Party and WWI. He was one of the planners in this and names who was involved. The Slaughterhouse of Osiris is an excellent mini documentary of the Bolshevik – Freemason movement. All are Talmudic and Kabbalist which is very heavy into the occult.
These people are among us and Bobby Fischer nailed it on Genetic Engineering being the next for this clan, organized by Judaism’s highest authorities to use Goyim as a front as well as that is the Nursery of the useful idiots for those who hide their actions. McFadden knew exactly who was behind it as well as Howie Long and both paid with their lives.
Their new earth will be a dead one. Destruction of nature is #1 goal and universities such as Purdue’s Ag department, creator of the terminator gene is just a hint of the level of depravity of these institutions. Most heads of Ag departments know exactly what they are doing around the world and laugh at the hope of “Contagion” which is what Arizona State’s current head did when he stated in Geoengineeringwatch.org saying live in front of his peers that the DNA modification will be built into the new generation of GMO seeds.
Crypto Jews are by dictates of the Sanhedrin in 1489 to subvert religions by being converts. This is not just Khazars which are far older than mentioned as they are the Proto-Mongols.
Religion has proven itself as an abomination of words of men in this current crisis of fake COVID-19 which is modeled by Computer for the deaths of those who are not of these ancient people who are Baal and Moloch worshippers and blood sacrifice. I don’t believe any written document is the word of the creator but that is a decision from within as we are born knowing the continuum of good and evil.
Next – Slavery – The belief in slavery in the Talmud promises 2800 slaves for each which is captured in video by Adam Green and his cohort in Dan Mark.

Slave trade and it was NOT normal in ancient times either:
It was not until 1655 that slavery for life became a legally sanctioned institution in the North American colonies. In that year, Anthony Johnson, a free black Angolian who had been brought to Virginia as an indentured servant and who had worked off his term of indenture years earlier, went to court over the ownership of a black servant named John Casor, who Johnson claimed ownership of saying that Casor had been sold to him as his slave for life. Corroborating testimony in the case was provided by a Jewish merchant named Capt. Samuel Goldsmith, with the court deciding in Johnson’s favor, legally recognizing John Casor as his slave for life, setting the precedent for lifetime slave ownership in the colonies of North America; a peculiar institution that Jewish sea-faring merchants and traders soon found extremely profitable. For a time, free black people could even “own” the services of White indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves. One particularly notorious black Maryland farmer named Nat Butler “regularly purchased and sold Negroes for the Southern trade,” according to R. Halliburton, Jr.’s article Free Black Owners of Slaves, published in the July 1975 issue of The South Carolina Historical Magazine (Vol. 76, No. 3, pp. 129-142).

While supplying negro slaves to colonies in the New World was a recently developed enterprise among Jews in the 17th and 18th centuries, Jews had long been involved with the business of buying and selling white slaves out of Europe who the Jews sold to Turks, Moors, and Arabs. According to Adam Mez’ The Reniassance of Islam, “The slave-dealers in Europe were almost all Jews. The slaves came almost exclusively from Eastern Europe as is the case today with the white slave traffic…..Says Khwarezmi: “We take to Turks when no other slaves are available. The chief article of export from Bulgar – capital of the Volga Bulgarians – was slaves who were thence taken to the Oxus’. Samarkand was the greatest slave-market noted for the supply of the best white slaves, and depending like Geneva or Lausanne of our time on its educational industry. The second channel of import for slaves of Slavic nationalities lay through Germany to Spain and the Mediterranean harbours of Provence and Italy…..Finally the third route for the slave trade likewise led from the western slave countries, then at war with Germany and consequently productive of human merchandise, to the East over Prague, Poland and Russia – a route followed by Rabbi Petachja in the 6th/12th century. In the 4th/14th century Prague was the starting-point, being a centre of the then slave-trade. Saint Adalbert gave up his bishopric in 989 A. D. because he could not redeem all the Christians whom a Jewish dealer had purchased.”

Jacob Franks
In 1710 a Jewish immigrant named Jacob Franks arrived in New York from London and lived as a boarder in the household of Moses and Rachael Levy, later marrying their 16 year old daughter, Abigail in 1712. Acknowledged as a linguist and Judaic scholar, Jacob was the son of Adam Franks of Germany, a friend of King George of Hanover, who loaned that monarch the most valuable jewels in his coronation crown. Jacob Franks was the British king’s sole agent for the Northern Colonies at New York and his son David was the king’s agent for Pennsylvania. An eminent and wealthy merchant, he engaged in the slave trade, privateering, general commerce, and shipping. He was also very involved in the Jewish community and the construction of the Shearith Israel synagogue as well as president of the congregation in 1730. The Franks family was one of the leading families in Colonial New York, not only within the small Jewish community but also within the larger elite secular social circle comprised of prominent Protestant families.
Picture
Moses Levy
Moses Levy, brother-in-law to Jacob Franks, was born in New York in the early 18th century. A prominent slave-trader and merchant, Moses Levy of New York and Newport, was one of several Ashkenazi Jewish families in Newport at that time. Levy lived in one of Newport’s large colonial mansions at 29 Touro Street, which he willed to Moses Seixas in 1792. Levy was also one of the original benefactors of Touro Synagogue.
Among the early American Jewish merchants to establish an ongoing trade with the Indians was Hayman Levy of New York. Prior to the Revolutionary War, Levy began trading glass beads, textiles, earrings, armbands and other goods imported from Holland, which were exchanged with the Indians for fur pelts which Levy obtained as an agent for Phyn, Ellice & Co. of Schenectady, Montreal and London. Hayman Levy was soon joined by a couple of Jewish associates, Nicholas Lowe and Joseph Simon, and together they set up a distillery in Newport, Rhode Island, producing rum and whiskey which they sold to other colonists and traded with the Indians. Within a short time there were 22 distilleries in Newport, all of them owned by Jews.
Joseph Simon, a Jewish colonist, was one of the most prominent Indian traders and merchants and one of the largest landholders in America during the last quarter of the 18th century. His enterprises extended not only over Pennsylvania, but to Ohio, Illinois and to the Mississippi river. Another colonial era Jew by the name of Levy Andrew Levy, a resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, “with two female slaves and one house,” was Joseph Simon’s business partner, and Simon’s sons-in-law, Levi Phillips, along with Solomon M. Cohen, Michael Gratz, and Solomon Etting, were also associated with him at various periods. In partnership with William Henry, Simon supplied the Continental army with rifles, ammunition, drums, blankets, and provisions. The name Levy Andrew Levy appears on the receipt for a number of infected used blankets and handkerchiefs from the smallpox hospital that were given to the Indians by the British in 1763, leading to a deadly outbreak of smallpox that devastated members of the Indian tribe.
A list of twenty-two residents of Lancaster to whom various Indian tribes in Illinois conveyed a tract of land comprising the southern half of the present state of Illinois, includes the following names of Jews: Moses, Jacob, and David Franks, Barnard and Michael Gratz, Moses Franks, Jr., Joseph Simon, and Levy Andrew Levy.

Aaron Lopez
Aaron Lopez, was born in 1731 in Lisbon, Portugal, as “Duarte Lopez” to a muranno Jewish family who had ostensibly converted to Catholicism in order to avoid deportation but secretly continued to practicing Judaism. Lopez followed his older brother, Moses, to North America in 1752, where he immediately dropped the Christian name Duarte, took the Hebrew name Aaron, submitted to ritual circumcision, and began openly living as a Jew. Settling in Newport, Rhode Island, where his brother had located a decade earlier. Like his uncle and future father-in-law, Aaron established himself as a whale-oil merchant and a manufacturer of spermaceti candles. In 1761, Aaron, Jacob Rodriguez Rivera, and seven other merchants formed a cartel to control the price and distribution of whale oil. That same year he and Jacob Rodriguez Rivera, purchased a brigantine sailing ship named Grayhound which sailed to Africa in 1763, bringing back a cargo of 134 Africans who were sold as slaves to fellow Jew, Isaac de Costa, in South Carolina. Four captains made thirteen of the voyages to Africa, bringing back some 1,275 black slaves. Between 1761 and 1774, Aaron Lopez underwrote 21 slave ships and by the beginning of the Revolutionary War, he owned or controlled 30 vessels. Lopez soon amassed a vast fortune through shipping, the slave trade, candle making, distilling rum, producing chocolate, textiles, clothing, shoes, hats, bottles and barrels. By the early 1770s, Lopez had become the wealthiest person in Newport and his tax assessment was twice that of any other resident.
Picture
Jacob Rivera
Jacob Rodriguez Rivera (uncle and father-in-law of Aaron Lopez) hailed from a Marrano family from Seville, Spain. He arrived in Newport via Curacao in 1748 where he became a prosperous merchant and slave-trader. Next to Aaron Lopez, Rivera occupied the highest position in the commercial, religious and social life of Newport’s Jewish community. His daughter Sarah, married Aaron Lopez and his son Jacob owned a grand mansion on the Parade that is today located at 8 Washington Square.
In 1733 a group of 40 Jews arrived aboard the second boat carrying passengers to the English colony of Georgia where they intended to establish a silk manufacturing industry. Among them was a Dr. Nunis who became the colony’s first practicing physician. The following year, a Jew by the name of Philip (Uri) Minis became the first colonist born in Georgia on July 11, 1734. Three years later in 1737, Abraham de Lyon, a Portuguese Jew, arrived in the colony of Georgia with the intention of establishing a wine-making industry.
The majority of the Jews who arrived in Georgia in 1733 were Sephardim, most of them having fled from Portugal to England before departing for the New World. Several years later in 1741 many of the Jewish families who had settled in Savannah, Georgia, left and moved to Charleston, South Carolina, due to the fact that the trustees of the Georgia colony would not allow them (or anyone else) to hold slaves. The state of South Carolina, which had long embraced slaveholding, was thus a welcoming place for these families. By 1749, when Georgia rethought the ban and decided to allow slaveholding, it was too late. Some families moved back, but many remained. Thereafter Charleston decisively eclipsed Savannah as the center for Southern Jewish settlement.
The charter of the Carolina Colony, drawn up by John Locke in 1669, granted liberty of conscience to all settlers, expressly mentioning “Jews, heathens, and dissenters.” Simon Valentine along with four other Jews applied for citizenship in the English Colony of South Carolina in 1697. He later became the first Jewish landowner in the colony, entitling him to the right to vote. Other Jews soon followed and by 1703 a protest arose among the other colonists against the “Jew strangers” being allowed to vote in the election for members of the Assembly.
In 1747 Isaac de Costa, a Sephardic Jew born in London, arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, where he established himself as a merchant, shipping-agent, and slave-trader, who built a considerable fortune bringing hundreds of black slaves overseas from Africa. Isaac da Costa had been initiated into Freemasonry and appointed a Masonic Deputy Inspector General by fellow Jew Moses Michael Hayes and went on to establish the Sublime Grand Masonic Lodge of Perfection in Charleston prior to his death in 1783.
In 1748 some prominent London Jews set on foot a scheme for the acquisition of a tract of 200,000 acres of land in South Carolina. Nothing came of this, however, though on November 27, 1755, Joseph Salvador purchased 100,000 acres of land near Fort Ninety-six for £2,000. Twenty years later Salvador sold 60,000 acres of land for £3,000 to thirteen London Sephardic Jews. This land was known as the “Jews’ Lands.” Another of the Salvadors (Francis Salvador, the nephew of Joseph) purchased extensive tracts of land in the same vicinity in 1773 and became the first Jew elected to public office in North America. He was also the first Jew killed during the Revolutionary War.
In 1756 Moses Lindo, a Sephardic Jew born in London in 1712, arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, where he established himself as a slave-owning planter and merchant in the cochineal and indigo trade with London. Lindo imported 49 slaves from Barbados to his South Carolina plantation in the 1750s. At one point in his career he ran an advertisement in the South Carolina Gazette stating that: “If any person is willing to part with a plantation of 500 acres with 60 or 70 Negroes, I am ready to purchase it for ready money.” In 1762 he was appointed “Surveyor and Inspector-General of Indigo, Drugs, and Dyes.”

Jonas Phillips
Also arriving in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1756, was Moses Lindo’s twenty year old indentured servant, Jonas Phillips, who had been born Jonah Feibush in Frankfurt, Germany. After serving his term of indenture, Phillips moved first to Albany, New York in 1759, and then to New York City, where he became a merchant and dealer in slaves. By 1760 Phillips had joined the New York Lodge of Freemasons, and served as shohet (ritual slaughterer) and bodek (examiner of meat) for Shearith Israel. Settling in Philadelphia just before the American Revolution, Phillips was a staunch advocate of the Non-Importation Agreement, and by the beginning of the Revolutionary War he supported the cause of American Independence and in 1778 he enlisted in the Philadelphia militia. By the year 1782 was the second wealthiest Jew in the city. He and his wife Rebecca Mendes Machado maintained their South Carolina ties through several of their 21 children.

In 1757 Isaac Monsanto, a Sephardic Jew born in the Netherlands arrives in New Orleans by way of Curacao establishing himself as a merchant and engaging in the business of shipping slaves and cargo from the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico. In 1767 Monsanto purchased a plantation known as Trianon outside of New Orleans. By the time the second Spanish governor took control in 1769, expelling the Jews from Louisiana, Isaac Monsanto had become one of New Orleans’ wealthiest merchants. Under Spanish rule, Monsanto was stripped of his holdings and forced to leave the territory, relocating to the town of Mancha near Lake Pontchartrain in British territory, where he was joined by his brothers, Manuel, Jacob and Benjamin; while their sisters relocated to Pensacola, then part of British West Florida. Following Isaac’s death in 1778, Manuel, Jacob and Benjamin Monsanto continued to manage their mercantile firm, dealing not only in dry goods but in real estate, commodities, debt collection and slaves. Records show that Benjamin Monsanto traded thirteen slaves for some three thousand pounds of indigo in 1785. By 1790, Manuel and Jacob had set up shop on Toulouse Street in New Orleans, while Benjamin and his wife Clara moved to a 500 acre plantation worked by eleven slaves on St Catherine’s Creek near Natchez, Mississippi, where he continued operating part of the family business until his death in 1794. The Monsanto chemical corporation was founded by John Francis Queeny, who married Olga Mendez Monsanto, daughter of Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto, a descendant of this family.

Jean Lafitte
Jean LaFitte, a pirate and privateer who operated in the Gulf of Mexico during the early 1800s was born in France in 1780 to Sephardic Jewish parents whose Conversos grandmother and mother fled Spain for France in 1765, after his maternal grandfather was put to death by the Inquisition for “Judaizing”. By 1805, he operated a warehouse in New Orleans to help disperse the goods smuggled by his brother Pierre Lafitte. After the United States government passed the Embargo Act of 1807, the Lafittes moved their operations to an island in Barataria Bay, Louisiana. By 1810, their new port was very successful; the Lafittes pursued a successful smuggling operation and also started to engage in piracy. By 1814 he was known as the “greatest trader in all the West” and sold slaves in the ports of New Orleans and Brazil. The Lafittes became spies for the Spanish during the Mexican War of Independence and moved to Galveston Island, Texas, where they developed a pirate colony they called Campeche. Lafitte continued attacking merchant ships as a pirate around Central American ports until he died in 1823, trying to capture Spanish vessels.
By the time of the American Revolution, over 30 Jewish families could be found in Newport, Rhode Island, alone, bearing family names such as Lopez, Levy, Rivera, Seixas, deToro (Touro), Gomez and Hays. In the New World, the Jews continued to engage in their long established careers as merchants and money lenders, manufacturers and sellers of alcoholic beverages, and were leaders in the forefront of the slave trade, amassing vast fortunes by importing and selling African slaves to the colonial plantations.
Some of the Jews of Newport and Charleston who were engaged in the distillery or slavery trade, or both, were: Isaac Gomez, Hayman Levy, Jacob Malhado, Naphtaly Myers, David Hart, Joseph Jacobs, Moses Ben Franks, Moses Gomez, Isaac Dias, Benjamin Levy, David Jeshuvum, Jacob Pinto, Jacob Turk, Daniel Gomez, James Lucana, Jan de Sweevts, Felix (cha-cha) de Souza (known as the ‘Prince of Slavers’ and second only to Aaron Lopez), Simeon Potter, Isaac Elizer, Jacob Rod, Jacob Rodriguez Rivera, Haym Isaac Carregal, Abraham Touro, Moses Hays, Moses Lopez, Judah Touro, Abraham Mendes and Abraham All. The following is a partial list of the slave ships owned by Jews:
‘Abigail’ owned by Aaron Lopez, Moses Levy and Jacob Franks.
‘Crown’ owned by Isaac Levy and Nathan Simpson.
‘Nassau’ owned by Moses Levy.
‘Four Sisters’ owned by Moses Levy.

I have no pity for those who follow the “Brahmic” faiths of stolen beliefs and contempt for the lives of all other creatures and the use of hoarding their “assets” and the abomination of taking water and land for themselves to plunder the earth leading to Global Omnicide along with the “Knowledge” of their Tree of DEATH because that is what it truly was, and is. Without wisdom, knowledge is a detriment to life itself and now a proven FACT.
Christianity, which seems to be gaining a lot of new followers these days (there are no atheists in foxholes, goes the saying) lamentably has as a central pillar, the refusal to fight against those, not merely threatening us but actually and actively killing us and our children, in ever greater numbers.
In fact they make a positive virtue of it.

Goshen is in Yemen. OT never mentions pyramids. It’s now well known that Exodus never happened but the Hyksos were run out of Egypt which is a group that has the same gods as the Hebrews as they lied as YHWH had a wife and quit and entourage. It all starts in the Indus Valley and progresses westward. Baal and Melech worship cycle and systems are known to have started in the Indus Valley (Kush Empire I), and continued with these marauders to the Arabian Peninsula where they stole from Ethiopia and Sudan (Kush Empire II – Jews refer to people of color as Kush). The rest is all a fraud and has history of evil from Japan in their drawings to West Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. Tired of all the crap. Blood sacrifice was forbidden and yet the fools who read think that Abel was good which is an abomination. To hit a Jew is to hit god, their god which is themselves. Rabbis and the priests and imams are not worth the the air that they spill their diatribe.
https://ashraf62.wordpress.com http://perankhgroup.com and a massive number of volumes of Egyptology, none of which show the OT as a bit legitimate making all the rest as idiotic as the original bunch of liars and murderers who think nothing of the suffering of the rest of life as we live in a slaughterhouse run by the depraved (watch some of the slaughterhouse videos and after just a few it’s obvious). The rest of creatures that we share a common bond show more care and love for life and their little ones than all of humanity now which is going to the most pernicious ends to save their own pathetic minds as life means nothing and hoarding their interests are everything.

How can anyone think of Max War Burg as anything but a Philanthropist™!?
How can anyone think of a Philanthropist™ as anyone but a Jew!?
How many times you read about (e.g., wikipedia) great Philanthropists™, Pritzkers, Soros, Wexler, Montefiores, Monsantos, Adelson, Rothschilds, Schiffs, Sassoons, Sacklers, Bronfmans … on and on the list goes into generational mists with only a smattering of (((goyim)))—oxymoron intentional—such as Rockefellers, Roosevelts, the righteous cryptos whose illustrious names grace in outsized lettering the hospitals, medical faculties, galleries, research institutes, museums, stadiums, courthouses, avenues, promenades so that you become keenly aware of unbreakable bond between culture and Jew, i.e., the former is entirely the product of the latter and don’t you ever forget of how miserable your existence would be without Jew.
Honestly, I cannot imagine world and life without Jew, I in particular would have to cast about for another line of pursuit, like herpetology (study of reptiles and what may have become of them had Yahweh done his job right—”Let there be MAX WAR!”)
Jesus Christ would likewise have felt like a fifth wheel, basically telling us what good folks we have been, offering heartfelt congratulations on good conduct, handing out free passes to the Pearly Gates while living into a deep old age in some nursing home.
