Zionist cybercrimes
: Israeli firm used targeted ads to infect AJ devices with zero-click spyware: Al Jazeera reports that an Israeli advertising tech firm infect devices with malicious spyware designed to collect a wide range of sensitive data on journalists at the network. AJ condemned the cyberattack as an “assault on press freedom.” These findings were corroborated by the Citizen Lab, which found in an investigation that the Israeli ad company Discover-Tech used personalized advertisements to deliver spyware from Candiru, an Israeli spyware company, that was blacklisted by the U.S. government in 2021 over its malicious software. It’s the first-ever public confirmation of zero-click mercenary spyware delivered via targeted ads. See Israeli spying in the United States

Jewish author: REAL history of Zionism ✡️

(The Young Turks) Jewish author EXPOSES the real history of [Ashkenazi Jewish] Zionism

GUEST

Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis
Zionist Collaboration with Nazis
51 Documents is a book by the American Jew, Trotskyist, and anti-Zionist scholar Lenni Brenner [1].

It presents 51 documents that show that Zionist Jewish leaders collaborated with fascism particularly in Dictator Hitler's Nazi Germany, according to author.

Their motive was to build up a Jewish presence in Palestine (the British Empire's occupied "Mandatory Palestine").

Zionists who hate Jews (anti-Semites)
The book continues themes explored in Brenner's earlier and highly controversial work Zionism in the Age of the Dictators.

The book is split into five sections:
  1. Zionism and anti-Semitism before Adolf Hitler
  2. The World Zionist Organization and Nazism Before the Holocaust
  3. Zionist Revisionism, Fascism, and Nazism Before the Holocaust
  4. The World Zionist Organization During the Holocaust
  5. The Stern Gang and the Nazis [2]. More

Vile Jewish kapos: Zionists who kill Jews
Zionist-Jews kill Jews like kapos
A kapo is a type of Jewish prisoner and Nazi functionary (German Funktionshäftling) inside German Nazi concentration and extermination camps. They were, whether voluntary or coerced, collaborators who worked under the Nazi SS (Schutz-staffel) to carry out administrative tasks for Nazis or supervise the forced labor of Jewish inmates. Given authority over their fellow Jewish prisoners, kapos would often enjoy comparatively better conditions inside concentration camps, such as more food rations and less physical brutality from Nazi SS guards. Due to their privileged status and actions, kapos were despised, highly resented, so much so that they were frequently lynched by Jewish prisoners when the camps were liberated by Allied forces during the final stages of WW II. More

The truth hurts: Jewish hypocrisy
Zionism in the Age of the Dictators
The [Jewish] Zionist Federation of Germany sought Hitler's patronage (active support) in 1933:

"Zionism hopes to be able to win the collaboration even of a government fundamentally hostile to Jews...Boycott propaganda...currently being carried on against Germany...is in essence un-Zionist."

Zionism became the only other legal political movement in the Nazi's Third Reich. That same year, the World Zionist Organization (WZO) made the Ha'avara (Transfer) Agreement, undermining the boycott against Nazi Germany.

German Jewish emigrants to Palestine had to buy Nazi goods that the WZO sold in the Middle East.

In 1937 the Haganah (later the Israeli Army) sent an agent to Berlin, Germany, offering a deal: They would provide spy intelligence if the Nazis further eased the monetary regulations for emigrants to Palestine.


We'll work with Hitler or Trump or anyone to rule
The Zionist-Revisionist movement (today Israel's ruling Likud Party) set up a detachment at Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini's naval academy. He personally reviewed them in 1936. They wanted him to replace Britain as Zionism's patron.

In 1941, the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel (later Likudniks) told the Nazis that they wanted a "Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich," and offered "to actively take part in the war [WW II] on Germany's side."

This is the sordid history documented in Jewish scholar Lenni Brenner's Zionism in the Age of the Dictators. Updated edition features a new afterword by the author. More

What is "Zen" (Chan) Buddhism?


(Let's Talk Religion) What is Zen Buddhism?
We cannot get free alone but only by noble friendship
(Zenith Zen) Rather than running away, what if we were to stay to help just as we have been helped by others through countless lives?

Should we teach others, Friend, even females, or just lock ourselves up in a cloister? - Teach.
.
Teach us what you know, Bhante
It is unclear if this is an authentic Zen tale, but it is certainly true what the historical Buddha's position on "noble friendship" (kalyāṇa-mittatā) was.

For once when his attendant said, "Venerable sir, it seems to me that friendship is half the monastic life in this Doctrine and Discipline" [in Buddhism].

The Buddha rebuked and admonished him, "Do not say so, Ananda, do not say so!"

Ananda was baffled. Surely, friendship is a vital thing to the practice of Buddhism, to ever even hearing the Dharma (the path to liberation). It is so important that it is surely half the struggle in life, now that we have heard the path. Friends teach us, encourage us, inspire us, tell us what they have heard, what they have understood. But the Buddha, possibly shaking his head, continued.

This monk is my good friend, encouraging me to temporarily ordain as a Buddhist novice.
.
I dunno if I can continue. - Of course you can!
"Friendship is not the HALF of the high life [of intensive practice of the Dharma]; it the whole of it. For because of friendship, one hears the Dharma. And by hearing it, one practices it [with help, inspiration, and encouragement from good companionship with noble ones, which refers to people along the four stages of enlightenment]. And by practicing it, one becomes free and a friend to many others. Indeed, noble friendship is the whole of this path."

These are not exact quotes but the gist of what Ananda said and what the Buddha said back to further exalt the value of noble friendship in Buddhism. - Wisdom Quarterly

Growing Jewish Empire of Greater Israel


The coming empire of "Eretz Yisrael"
We'll give Israel whatever it wants for $$, drugs
"Greater Israel" (Hebrew ארץ ישראל השלמה, Romanized Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) is an expression with different political and biblical expressions over time.

This coming Zionist utopia is often used, in an irredentist fashion, to refer to an ahistoric but desired borders of a "State of Israel."

Jews: "When Mashiach comes, I'll move to Israel."
Territorial claims of Israeli nationalists and Zionist movements vary, depending on the time period and different groups of proponents such as Revisionist Zionist, Labor Zionist, and Religious Zionist groups [1].


If I approve of you, Trump will hire you.
There are two different primary uses of the term "Greater Israel" – one referring more narrowly to the area internationally recognized as part of the illegitimate apartheid ethno-"state" of Israel (that has neither a constitution nor a majority to yet implement, though it is working on it by means of anti-Jewish international terrorism to terrify Jews from around the world to move to the Middle East to build up the ethnostate) along with the stolen Golan Heights, West Bank, and Gaza Strip.

There's a second definition that refers to a much larger region stretching from the Nile River to the Euphrates [2], from the river to the sea... More

Satan, the greatest lover of God (Sufism)


(Let's Talk Religion) Was Satan (the "Adversary") the greatest lover of God? | Iblis in Sufism
  • Iblis: (Arabic إِبْلِيسْ, Romanized Iblīs) [1], also known as Shaitan, is the "leader of the devils" (shayāṭīn) in Islam. According to the Quran (Koran), Iblis was thrown out of heaven after refusing to prostrate before Adam (human). In Sufi cosmology, Iblis embodies the cosmic veil supposedly separating the immanent aspect of God's love from the transcendent aspect of God's wrath. He is often compared to the Christian concept of Satan, both cast out of heaven.
Islamic mysticism: Sufism
According to some adherents of Sufi mysticism, Iblis refused to bow to Adam (the created human) because he was fully devoted to God alone and refused to bow to anyone else [215, 189].

For this reason, Sufi masters regard Satan and Muhammad as the two most perfect monotheists [215].

Sufis reject the concept of dualism [215, 216] and instead believe in the unity of all existence [216].

In the same way that Muhammad was the instrument of God's mercy [215], Sufis regard Satan as the instrument of God's wrath [215].

For the Muslim Sufi scholar Ahmad Ghazali, Iblis was the paragon of lovers in self-sacrifice for refusing to bow down to Adam out of pure devotion to God [217].

Ahmad Ghazali's student Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir was among the Sunni Muslim mystics who defended Iblis and asserted that evil was also God's creation.

The God made all this and a Serpent
Sheikh Adi argued that if evil existed without the will of God, then God would be powerless and powerlessness can't be attributed to God [218].

Some Sufis assert that since Iblis was destined by God to become a devil, God will also restore him to his former angelic nature.

Attar compares Iblis's damnation to the biblical Benjamin: both were accused unjustly, but their punishment had a greater meaning. In the end, Iblis will be released from hell [219].
What did the great Rumi think?
However, not all Muslim Sufi mystics are in agreement with a positive depiction of Iblis.

Rumi's viewpoint on Iblis is much more in tune with Islamic orthodoxy. Rumi views Iblis as the manifestation of the great sins of haughtiness and envy.

He states: "[Cunning] intelligence is from Iblis, and love from Adam" [220]. More

The Yazidis in Western perception

In William Seabrook's book Adventures in Arabia, the fourth section, starting with Chapter 14, is devoted to the "Yezidees" and is titled "Among the Yezidees."

He describes them as "a mysterious sect scattered throughout the Orient, strongest in North Arabia, feared and hated both by Moslem [Muslim] and Christian [Jesuit], because they are worshippers of Satan." In it he describes the area, including the fact that this territory, including their holiest city of Sheik-Adi, was not part of "Irak" (Iraq) [190].

Georges Gurdjieff
George Gurdjieff
wrote about his encounters with the Yazidis several times in his book Meetings with Remarkable Men, mentioning that they are considered to be "devil worshippers" [because they dare to hold out that even the devil can be turned around by God in the end] by other ethnicities in the region.

In Peter Ouspensky's book In Search of the Miraculous, he describes some strange customs that Gurdjieff observed in Yazidi boys: "He told me, among other things, that when he was a child he had often observed how Yezidi boys were unable to step out of a circle traced round them on the ground" (p. 36).

Peacock Angel (Pavaangyal, Tawûsî Melek)
Idries Shah, writing under the penname Arkon Daraul, in his 1961 book Secret Societies Yesterday and Today, describes discovering a Yazidi-influenced secret society in the London suburbs called the "Order of the Peacock Angel."

Shah claimed this Tawûsê Melek or "Peacock Angel" could be understood, from the Sufi viewpoint, as an allegory of the higher powers in humanity [191]. More

The Great God of the Yazidis
Yazidis believe in one God, to whom they refer as Xwedê, Xwedawend, Êzdan, Pedsha (lit. "King") and, less commonly, Ellah [Allah?] and Heq [Yah-Heq?] [22, 5, 12, 2, 23].

According to some Yazidi hymns (known as qewls), God has 1,001 names; in others, God has 3,003 names [24, 25].

In Yazidism, earth, fire, water, and air are sacred elements that are not to be polluted. During prayer, Yazidis face towards the Sun, which is why they were sometimes called "sun worshippers."

The Yazidi creation myth begins with the description of the emptiness and the absence of order in the Universe. Before the universe's creation, God created a dur ("white pearl" or orb) in spiritual form from God's own pure light and alone dwelt in it [26].

First, there was an esoteric world. After that, an exoteric world was created. Before the creation of this world, God created seven divine beings (oftentimes referred to as the Seven [Arch] Angels in Yazidi literature) to whom God assigned all the world's affairs.

The leader of the Seven Angels was named the "Peacock Angel" (Melek Taus or Tawûsî Melek) [2, 13, 27]. The end of Creation is closely connected with the creation of humankind and the transition from mythological to historical time [5, 14, 12]. More

The Yazidi trinity
The Yazidis believe in a Divine Triad [2, 13, 27]. The supreme, hidden God of the Yazidis is considered to be remote and inactive in relation to creation, except to contain and bind it together within an innate essence [2].

This God's first emanation is the "Peacock Angel," who functions as the ruler of the world [2, 13, 27].

The second hypostasis of the Divine Triad is the Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir.

The third is Sultan Ezid. These are the three hypostases of the One God. The identity of these three is sometimes blurred, with ibn Musafir considered to be a manifestation of the Peacock Angel and vice versa; the same applies to Sultan Ezid [2].

The Peacock Angel beating Satan
Yazidis are called the "Nation of the Peacock Angel" (Miletê Tawûsî Melek) [28].

Muslims and Christians erroneously associate and identify the Peacock Angel with their own religions' conception of the unredeemed evil spirit Satan [2, 13, 27, 29, 12], a misconception that has incited centuries of violent religious persecution (puritanical rape and genocide) of the Yazidis as "devil-worshippers" [2, 13, 27, 30, 31].

Persecution of Yazidis has continued in their home communities within the borders of modern Iraq [2, 13, 32].

Yazidis, however, believe the Peacock Angel not a source of evil or wickedness [2, 13, 27]. They consider him to be the leader of the archangels [a kind of Christian Michael, Buddhist Sakka, Chinese Jade Emperor figure], not a fallen angel [2, 27, 33, 12].
