Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th century.</span></big></p><p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><big> <span >Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States.</span></big></p><p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><big> <span >Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation.

This speech is an explanation of the plans now being laid to throw the United States into a third world war. It was made a short time ago before a large group in the Congressional `Room of the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. Both the speech and the question and answer period later so electrified the audience that a group of patriots has transferred it to two long-playing records <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/resources/">which you may buy</a></big></span><span ><big> </big></span><span ><big>to play for friends, clubs, and your church group in your community. The speaker is Mr. Benjamin Freedman, noted authority on Zionism and all of its schemes. Mr. Freedman is a former Jew, and I mean a FORMER Jew. He has fought the Communist world conspiracy tooth and nail, and stands today as a leading American patriot. We now take you to the speaker's platform to present Benjamin Freedman.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>(applause)</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>[Freedman's speech]</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>What I intend to tell you tonight is something that you have never been able to learn from any other source, and what I tell you now concerns not only you, but your children and the survival of this country and Christianity. I'm not here just to dish up a few facts to send up your blood pressure, but I'm here to tell you things that will help you preserve what you consider the most sacred things in the world: the liberty, and the freedom, and the right to live as Christians, where you have a little dignity, and a little right to pursue the things that your conscience tells you are the right things, as Christians. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, first of all, I'd like to tell you that on August 25th 1960 -- that was shortly before elections -- Senator Kennedy, who is now the President of the United States, went to New York, and delivered an address to the Zionist Organization of America. In that address, to reduce it to its briefest form, he stated that he would use the armed forces of the United States to preserve the existence of the regime set up in Palestine by the Zionists who are now in occupation of that area.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In other words, Christian boys are going to be yanked out of their homes, away from their families, and sent abroad to fight in Palestine against the Christian and Moslem Arabs who merely want to return to their homes. And these Christian boys are going to be asked to shoot to kill these innocent [Arab Palestinians] people who only want to follow out fifteen resolutions passed by the United Nations in the last twelve years calling upon the Zionists to allow these people to return to their homes.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Now, when United States troops appear in the Middle East to fight with the Zionists as their allies to prevent the return of these people who were evicted from their homes in the 1948 armed insurrection by the Zionists who were transplanted there from Eastern Europe... when that happens, the United States will trigger World War III. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> You say, when will that take place? The answer is, as soon as the difficulty between France and Algeria has been settled, that will take place. As soon as France and Algeria have been settled, that will take place. As soon as France and Algeria have settled their difficulty, and the Arab world, or the Moslem world, has no more war on their hands with France, they are going to move these people back into their homes, and when they do that and President kennedy sends your sons to fight over there to help the crooks hold on to what they stole from innocent men, women and children, we will trigger World War III; and when that starts you can be sure we cannot emerge from that war a victor. We are going to lose that war because there is not one nation in the world that will let one of their sons fight with us for such a cause. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> I know and speak to these ambassadors in Washington and the United Nations -- and of the ninety-nine nations there, I've consulted with maybe seventy of them -- and when we go to war in Palestine to help the thieves retain possession of what they have stolen from these innocent people we're not going to have a man there to fight with us as our ally. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> And who <b><i>will</i> </b>these people have supporting them, you ask. Well, four days after President Kennedy -- or he was then Senator Kennedy -- made that statement on August 28, 1960, the Arab nations called a meeting in Lebanon and there they decided to resurrect, or reactivate, the government of Palestine, which has been dormant more or less, since the 1948 armed insurrection by the Zionists.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Not only that... they ordered the creation of the Palestine Army, and they are now drilling maybe a half a million soldiers in that area of the world to lead these people back to <b><i>their</i> </b> homeland. With them, they have as their allies all the nations of what is termed the Bandung Conference Group. That includes the Soviet Union and every Soviet Union satellite. It includes Red China; it includes every independent country in Asia and Africa; or eighty percent of the world's total population. Eighty percent of the world's population. Four out of five human beings on the face of the earth will be our enemies at war with us. And not alone are they four out of five human beings now on the face of this earth, but they are the non-Christian population of the world and they are the non-Caucasians... the non-white nations of the world, and that's what we face.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> And what is the reason? The reason is that here in the United States, the Zionists and their co-religionists have complete control of our government. For many reasons too many and too complex to go into here at this -- time I'll be glad to answer questions, however, to support that statement -- the Zionists and their co-religionists rule this United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this country. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, you say, 'well, that's a very broad statement to make', but let me show what happened while you were -- I don't want to wear that out --- let me show what happened while <i>WE</i> were all asleep. I'm including myself with you. We were all asleep. What happened? </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "> <span ><big>World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. Nineteen-hundred and fourteen was the year in which World War One broke out. There are few people here my age who remember that. Now that war was waged on one side by Great Britain, France, and Russia; and on the other side by Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. What happened?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Within two years Germany had won that war: not alone won it nominally, but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean, and Great Britain stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, stood there with one week's food supply facing her -- and after that, starvation. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> At that time, the French army had mutinied. They lost 600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme. The Russian army was defecting. They were picking up their toys and going home, they didn't want to play war anymore, they didn't like the Czar. And the Italian army had collapsed.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now Germany -- not a shot had been fired on the German soil. Not an enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany. And yet, here was Germany offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers call a status quo ante basis. That means: “Let's call the war off, and let everything be as it was before the war started.” </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, England, in the summer of 1916 was considering that. Seriously! They had no choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going on with the war and being totally defeated.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, who represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and -- I am going to be brief because this is a long story, but I have all the documents to prove any statement that I make if anyone here is curious, or doesn't believe what I'm saying is at all possible -- the Zionists in London went to the British war cabinet and they said: “Look here. You can yet win this war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will come in as your ally.”</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The United States was not in the war at that time. We were fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful. They [Zionists] told England: “We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war.”</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In other words, they made this deal: “We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.”</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain -- that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine -- should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into the war.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>However, they made that promise, in October of 1916. October, nineteen hundred and sixteen. And shortly after that -- I don't know how many here remember it -- the United States, which was almost totally pro-German -- totally pro-German -- because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all the media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews, and they were pro-German because their people, in the majority of cases came from Germany, and they wanted to see Germany lick the Czar.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. So the German bankers -- the German-Jews -- Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms in the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of one dollar. They stood aside and they said: “As long as France and England are tied up with Russia, not one cent!” But they poured money into Germany, they fought with Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist regime.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine, they went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything changed, like the traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. And they were no good.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Zionists in London sent these cables to the United States, to Justice Brandeis: “Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England what we want. Now you go to work, and you go to work on President Wilson and get the United States into the war." And that did happen. That's how the United States got into the war. We had no more interest in it; we had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now the war -- <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/wars/wwi.htm">World War One</a> -- in which the United States participated had absolutely no reason to be our war. We went in there -- we were railroaded into it -- if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into -- that war merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. Now, that is something that the people in the United States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War One. Now, what happened?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain and they said: “Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have something in writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and give us Palestine after you win the war.” Because they didn't know whether the war would last another year or another ten years. So they started to work out a receipt. The receipt took the form of a letter, and it was worded in very cryptic language so that the world at large wouldn't know what it was all about. And that was called the <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/wars/balfour.htm">Balfour Declaration</a>.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain's promise to pay the Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United States into the war. So this great Balfour Declaration, that you hear so much about, is just as phony as a three dollar bill. And I don't think I could make it more emphatic than that.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, that is where all the trouble started. The United States went in the war. The United States crushed Germany. We went in there, and it's history. You know what happened. Now, when the war was ended, and the Germans went to Paris, to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, there were 117 Jews there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I was there: I ought to know. </big></span><big><span >Now what happened? </span></big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Jews at that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and parceling out Europe to all these nations that claimed a right to a certain part of European territory, the Jews said, “How about Palestine for us?” And they produced, for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, “Oh, that was the game!</big></span><big> <span >That's why the United States came into the war.” And the Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered this terrific reparation that was slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted Palestine and they were determined to get it at any cost.</span></big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, that brings us to another very interesting point. When the Germans realized this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never been better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> You had Mr. Rathenau there, who was maybe 100 times as important in industry and finance as is Bernard Baruch in this country. You had Mr. Balin, who owned the two big steamship lines, the North German Lloyd's and the Hamburg-American Lines. You had Mr. Bleichroder, who was the banker for the Hohenzollern family. You had the Warburgs in Hamburg, who were the big merchant bankers -- the biggest in the world. The Jews were doing very well in Germany. No question about that. Now, the Germans felt: “Well, that was quite a sellout.”</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> It was a sellout that I can best compare -- suppose the United States was at war today with the Soviet Union. And we were winning. And we told the Soviet Union: “Well, let's quit. We offer you peace terms. Let's forget the whole thing.” And all of a sudden Red China came into the war as an ally of the Soviet Union. And throwing them into the war brought about our defeat. A crushing defeat, with reparations the likes of which man's imagination cannot encompass.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Imagine, then, after that defeat, if we found out that it was the Chinese in this country, our Chinese citizens, who all the time we thought they were loyal citizens working with us, were selling us out to the Soviet Union and that it was through them that Red China was brought into the war against us. How would we feel, in the United States against Chinese? I don't think that one of them would dare show his face on any street. There wouldn't be lampposts enough, convenient, to take care of them. Imagine how we would feel.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, that's how the Germans felt towards these Jews. "We've been so nice to them"; and from 1905 on, when the first Communist revolution in Russia failed, and the Jews had to scramble out of Russia, they all went to Germany. And Germany gave them refuge. And they were treated very nicely. And here they sold Germany down the river for no reason at all other than they wanted Palestine as a so-called “Jewish commonwealth.”</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, Nahum Sokolow -- all the great leaders, the big names that you read about in connection with Zionism today -- they, in 1919, 1920, '21, '22, and '23, they wrote in all their papers -- and the press was filled with their statements -- that "the feeling against the Jews in Germany is due to the fact that they realized that this great defeat was brought about by our intercession and bringing the United States into the war against them."</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Jews themselves admitted that. It wasn't that the Germans in 1919 discovered that a glass of Jewish blood tasted better than Coca-Cola or Muenschner Beer. There was no religious feeling. There was no sentiment against those people merely on account of their religious belief. It was all political. It was economic. It was anything but religious. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Nobody cared in Germany whether a Jew went home and pulled down the shades and said “Shema' Yisrael” or “Our Father.” No one cared in Germany any more than they do in the United States. Now this feeling that developed later in Germany was due to one thing: that the Germans held the Jews responsible for their crushing defeat, for no reason at all, because World War One was started against Germany for no reason for which they [Germans] were responsible. They were guilty of nothing. Only of being successful. They built up a big navy. They built up world trade.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> You must remember, Germany, at the time of Napoleon, at the time of the French Revolution, what was the German Reich consisted of 300 -- three hundred! -- small city-states, principalities, dukedoms, and so forth. Three hundred little separate political entities. And between that time, between the period of. . . between Napoleon and Bismarck, they were consolidated into one state. And within 50 years after that time they became one of the world's great powers. Their navy was rivalling Great Britain's, they were doing business all over the world, they could undersell anybody and make better products. And what happened? What happened as a result of that?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>There was a conspiracy between England, France, and Russia that: "We must slap down Germany", because there isn't one historian in the world that can find a valid reason why those three countries decided to wipe Germany off the map politically. Now, what happened after that?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> When Germany realized that the Jews were responsible for her defeat, they naturally resented it. But not a hair on the head of any Jew was harmed. Not a single hair. Professor Tansill, of Georgetown University, who had access to all the secret papers of the State Department, wrote in his book, and quoted from a State Department document written by Hugo Schoenfelt, a Jew who Cordell Hull sent to Europe in 1933 to investigate the so-called camps of political prisoners. And he wrote back that he found them in very fine condition.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> They were in excellent shape; everybody treated well. And they were filled with Communists. Well, a lot of them were Jews, because the Jews happened to be maybe 98 per cent of the Communists in Europe at that time. And there were some priests there, and ministers, and labor leaders, Masons, and others who had international affiliations.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, the Jews sort of tried to keep the lid on this fact. They didn't want the world to really understand that they had sold out Germany, and that the Germans resented that.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So they did take appropriate action against them [against the Jews]. They. . . shall I say, discriminated against them wherever they could? They shunned them. The same as we would the Chinese, or the Negroes, or the Catholics, or anyone in this country who had sold us out to an enemy and brought about our defeat.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, after a while, the Jews of the world didn't know what to do, so they called a meeting in Amsterdam. Jews from every country in the world attended in July 1933. And they said to Germany: “You fire Hitler! And you put every Jew back into his former position, whether he was a Communist, no matter what he was. You can't treat us that way! And we, the Jews of the world, are calling upon you, and serving this ultimatum upon you.” Well, the Germans told them. . . you can imagine. So what did they [the Jews] do?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> They broke up, and Samuel Untermyer, if the name means anything to people here. . . (You want to ask a question? --- Uh, there were no Communists in Germany at that time. they were called 'Social Democrats.)</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, I don't want to go by what they were <i><b>called</b></i>. We're now using English words, and what they were called in Germany is not very material. . . but they were Communists, because in 1917, the Communists took over Germany for a few days. Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht, and a group of Jews in Germany took over the government for three days. In fact, when the Kaiser ended the war, he fled to Holland because he thought the Communists were going to take over Germany as they did Russia, and that he was going to meet the same fate that the Czar did in Russia. So he left and went to Holland for safety and for security.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "> <big> <span >Now, at that time, when the Communist threat in Germany was quashed, it was quiet, the Jews were working, still trying to get back into their former -- their status -- and the Germans fought them in every way they could, without hurting a hair on anyone's head. The same as one group, the Prohibitionists, fought the people who were interested in liquor, and they didn't fight one another with pistols, they did it every way they could. </span></big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, that's the way they were fighting the Jews in Germany. And, at that time, mind you, there were 80 to 90 million Germans and there were only 460,000 Jews. . . less than one half of one percent of Germany were Jews. And yet, they controlled all of the press, they controlled most of the economy, because they had come in and with cheap money -- you know the way the Mark was devalued -- they bought up practically everything.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Well, in 1933 when Germany refused to surrender, mind you, to the World Conference of Jews in Amsterdam, they broke up and Mr. <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/hoax/unt.htm">Untermeyer</a> came back to the United States -- who was the head of the American delegation and the president of the whole conference -- and he went from the steamer to ABC and made a radio broadcast throughout the United States in which he said:</big></span></p><blockquote style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><p align="left"><span ><big>"The Jews of the world now declare a Holy War against Germany. We are now engaged in a sacred conflict against the Germans. And we are going to starve them into surrender. We are going to use a world-wide boycott against them, that will destroy them because they are dependent upon their export business."</big></span></p></blockquote><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> And it is a fact that two thirds of Germany's food supply had to be imported, and it could only be imported with the proceeds of what they exported. Their labor. So if Germany could not export, two thirds of Germany's population would have to starve. There just was not enough food for more than one third of the population.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now in this declaration, which I have here, it was printed on page -- a whole page -- in the <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/hoax/untermeyer.htm">New York Times on August 7, 1933</a>, Mr. Samuel Untermyer boldly stated that: </big></span><big><span >“this economic boycott is our means of self-defense. President Roosevelt has advocated its use in the NRA" . [National Recovery Administration] -- which some of you may remember, where everybody was to be boycotted unless they followed the rules laid down by the New Deal, which of course was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court at that time.</span></big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Nevertheless, the Jews of the world declared a boycott against Germany, and it was so effective that you couldn't find one thing in any store anywhere in the world with the words "made in Germany" on it.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In fact, an executive of the Woolworth Company told me that they had to dump millions of dollars worth of crockery and dishes into the river; that their stores were boycotted. If anyone came in and found a dish marked "made in Germany," they were picketed with signs: "Hitler", "murderer", and so forth, and like -- something like these sit-ins that are taking place in the South.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> R. H. Macy, which is controlled by a family called Strauss who also happen to be Jews. . . a woman found stockings there which came from Chemnitz, marked "made in Germany". Well, they were cotton stockings. They may have been there 20 years, because since I've been observing women's legs in the last twenty years, I haven't seen a pair with cotton stockings on them. So Macy! I saw Macy boycotted, with hundreds of people walking around with signs saying "MURDERS" and "HITLERITES", and so forth.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Now up to that time, not one hair on the head of any Jew had been hurt in Germany. There was no suffering, there was no starvation, there was no murder, there was nothing.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, that. . . naturally, the Germans said, "Why, who are these people to declare a boycott against us and throw all our people out of work, and our industries come to a standstill? Who are they to do that to us?" They naturally resented it. Certainly they painted swastikas on stores owned by Jews.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Why should a German go in and give their money to a storekeeper who was part of a boycott who was going to starve Germany into surrender into the Jews of the world, who were going to dictate who their premier or chancellor was to be? Well, it was ridiculous.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> That continued for some time, and it wasn't until 1938, when a young Jew from Poland walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot one of the officials [a German official] that the Germans really started to get rough with the Jews in Germany. And you found them then breaking windows and having street fights and so forth.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Now, for anyone to say that -- I don't like to use the word 'anti-Semitism' because it's meaningless, but it means something to you still, so I'll have to use it -- the only reason that there was any feeling in Germany against Jews was that they were responsible: number one, for World War One; number two, for this world-wide boycott, and number three -- did I say for World War One, they were responsible? For the boycott -- and also for World War II, because after this thing got out of hand, it was absolutely necessary for the Jews and Germany to lock horns in a war to see which one was going to survive</big></span><big>.</big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In the meanwhile, I had lived in Germany, and I knew that the Germans had decided [that] Europe is going to be Christian or Communist: there is no in between. It's going to be Christian or it's going to be Communist. And the Germans decided: "We're going to keep it Christian if possible". And they started to re-arm.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big> And there intention was -- by that time the United States had recognized the Soviet Union, which they did in November, 1933 -- the Soviet Union was becoming very powerful, and Germany realized: "Well, our turn is going to come soon, unless we are strong." The same as we in this country are saying today, "Our turn is going to come soon, unless we are strong." </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> And our government is spending 83 or 84 billion dollars of your money for defense, they say.</big></span><big> <span >Defense against whom? Defense against 40,000 little Jews in Moscow that took over Russia, and then, in their devious ways, took over control of many other governments of the world.</span></big></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, for this country to now be on the verge of a Third World War, from which we cannot emerge a victor, is something that staggers my imagination. I know that nuclear bombs are measured in terms of megatons. A megaton is a term used to describe one million tons of TNT. One million tons of TNT is a megaton. Now, our nuclear bombs have a capacity of 10 megatons, or 10 million tons of TNT. That was when they were first developed five or six years ago. Now, the nuclear bombs that are being developed have a capacity of 200 megatons, and God knows how many megatons the nuclear bombs of the Soviet Union have.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So, what do we face now? If we trigger a world war that may develop into a nuclear war, humanity is finished. And why will it take place? It will take place because Act III. . . the curtain goes up on Act III. Act I was World War I. Act II was World War II. Act III is going to be World War III.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Jews of the world, the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere, are determined that they are going to again use the United States to help them permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government. Now, that is just as true as I am standing here, because not alone have I read it, but many here have read it, and it's known all over the world.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, what are we going to do? The life you save may be your son's. Your boys may be on their way to that war tonight; and you you don't know it any more than you knew that in 1916 in London the Zionists made a deal with the British War Cabinet to send your sons to war in Europe. Did you know it at that time? Not a person in the United States knew it. You weren't permitted to know it.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Who knew it? President Wilson knew it. Colonel House knew it. Other 's knew it. Did I know it? I had a pretty good idea of what was going on: I was liaison to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., in the 1912 campaign when President Wilson was elected, and there was talk around the office there.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> I was 'confidential man' to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the Finance Committee, and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the treasurer. So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head of the table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson's brain the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and also indoctrinate him with the Zionist movement.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Justice Brandeis and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers on this hand, and President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when it came to determining what was going on as a newborn baby. And that's how they got us into World War I, while we all slept. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, at this moment... at this moment they may be planning this World War III, in which we don't stand a chance even if they don't use nuclear bombs. How can the United States -- about five percent of the world -- go out and fight eighty to ninety percent of the world on their home ground? How can we do it... send our boys over there to be slaughtered? For what? So the Jews can have Palestine as their 'commonwealth'? They've fooled you so much that you don't know whether you're coming or going.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now any judge, when he charges a jury, says, "Gentlemen, any witness that you find has told a single lie, you can disregard <i><b>all </b></i>his testimony." That is correct. I don't know from what state you come, but in New York state that is the way a judge addresses a jury. If that witness said one lie, disregard his testimony.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, what are the facts about the Jews?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Jews -- I call them Jews to you, because they are known as Jews. I don't call them Jews. I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they are. If Jesus was a Jew, there isn't a Jew in the world today, and if those people are Jews, certainly our Lord and Savior was not one of them, and I can prove that. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now what happened? The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were originally Khazars.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> They were a warlike tribe that lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe -- and to reduce this so you don't get too confused about the history of Eastern Europe -- they set up this big Khazar kingdom: 800,000 square miles. Only, there was no Russia, there were no other countries, and the Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, they were phallic worshippers, which is filthy. I don't want to go into the details of that now. It was their religion the way it was the religion of many other Pagans or Barbarians elsewhere in the world.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, the [Khazar] king became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to adopt a so-called monotheistic faith -- either Christianity, Islam -- the Moslem faith -- or what is known today as Judaism -- really Talmudism. So, like spinning a top</big> <big>and calling out "eeny, meeny, miney, moe," he picked out so-called Judaism. And that became the state religion.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> He sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura and brought up thousands of these rabbis with their teachings, and opened up synagogues and schools in his kingdom of 800,000 people -- 800,000 thousand square miles -- and maybe ten to twenty million people; and they became what we call Jews. There wasn't one of them that had an ancestor that ever put a toe in the Holy Land, not only in Old Testament history, but back to the beginning of time. Not one of them! And yet they come to the Christians and they ask us to support their armed insurrection in Palestine by saying: </big></span></p><blockquote style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><p align="left"><span ><big>"Well, you want to certainly help repatriate God's chosen people to their Promised Land, their ancestral homeland, It's your Christian duty.

And it's just as ridiculous to call them "people of the Holy Land," as it would be. . . there are 54 million Chinese Moslems. Fifty four million! And, Mohammed only died in 620 A.D., so in that time, 54 million Chinese have accepted Islam as their religious belief. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now imagine, in China, 2,000 miles away from Arabia, where the city of Mecca is located, where Mohammed was born. . . imagine if the 54 million Chinese called themselves 'Arabs'. Imagine! Why, you'd say they're lunatics. Anyone who believes that those 54 million Chinese are Arabs must be crazy. All they did was adopt as a religious faith; a belief that had its origin in Mecca, in Arabia.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The same as the Irish. When the Irish became Christians, nobody dumped them in the ocean and imported from the Holy Land a new crop of inhabitants that were Christians. They weren't different people.

They likewise, because their king took the faith -- Talmudic faith -- they had no choice. Just the same as in Spain: If the king was Catholic, everybody had to be a Catholic. If not, you had to get out of Spain. So everybody -- they lived on the land just like the trees and the bushes; a human being belonged to the land under their feudal system -- so they [Khazars] all became what we call today, Jews! </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Now imagine how silly it was for the Christians. . . for the great Christian countries of the world to say, "We're going to use our power, our prestige to repatriate God's chosen people to their ancestral homeland, their Promised Land."</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, could there be a bigger lie than that?

And nobody could blame you.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, that is one of the great lies. . . that is the foundation of all the misery that has befallen the world. Because after two wars fought in Europe -- World War I and World War II -- if it wasn't possible for them to live in peace and harmony with the people in Europe, like their brethren are living in the United States, what were the two wars fought for? Did they have to -- like you flush the toilet -- because they couldn't get along, did they have to say, "Well, we're going back to our homeland and you Christians can help us"?</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>I can't understand yet how the Christians in Europe could have been that dumb because every theologian, every history teacher, knew the things that I'm telling you.

It doesn't make any difference to me whether you know all these facts or not, but it does make a difference to me. I've got, in my family, boys that will have to be in the next war, and I don't want them to go and fight and die... like they died in Korea. Like they died in Japan. Like they've died all over the world. For what? </big> </span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>To help crooks hold on to what they stole from innocent people who had been in peaceful possession of that land, those farms, those homes for hundreds and maybe thousands of years? Is that why the United States must go to war? Because the Democratic Party wants New York State -- the electoral vote? Illinois, the electoral vote? And Pennsylvania, the electoral vote?... which are controlled by the Zionists and their co-religionists?. . . the balance of power? </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In New York City there are 400,000 members of the liberal party, all Zionists and their co-religionists. And New York State went for Kennedy by 400,000 votes. Now, I don't blame Mr. Kennedy. I'm fond of Mr. Kennedy. I think he's a great man. I think he can really pull us out of this trouble if we get the facts to him. And I believe he knows a great deal more than his appointments indicate he knows. He's playing with the enemy. Like when you go fishing, you've got to play with the fish. Let 'em out and pull 'em in. Let 'em out and pull 'em in. But knowing Mr. Kennedy's father, and how well informed he is on this whole subject, and how close Kennedy is to his father, I don't think Mr. Kennedy is totally in the dark. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> But I do think that it is the duty of every mother, every loyal Christian , every person that regards the defense of this country as a sacred right, that they communicate -- not with their congressman, not with their senator, but with President Kennedy. And tell him, "I do not think you should send my boy, or our boys, wearing the uniform of the United States of America, and under the flag that you see here, our red, white and blue, to fight there to help keep in the hands of these that which they have stolen". I think everyone should not alone write once, but keep writing and get your friends to write.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, I could go on endlessly, and tell you these things to support what I have just asked you to do. But I don't think it's necessary to do that. You're above the average group in intelligence and I don't think it's necessary to impress this any more.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> But. . . I want to tell you one more thing. You talk about... "Oh, the Jews. Why the Jews? Christianity. Why, we got Christianity from the Jews and the Jews gave us Jesus, and the Jews gave us our religion". But do you know that on the day of atonement that you think is so sacred to them, that on that day... and I was one of them! This is not hearsay. I'm not here to be a rabble-rouser. I'm here to give you facts.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>When, on the Day of Atonement, you walk into a synagogue, the very first prayer that you recite, you stand -- and it's the only prayer for which you stand -- and you repeat three times a short prayer. <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org//issues/israel/kolnidre.htm">The Kol Nidre</a>. In that prayer, you enter into an agreement with God Almighty that any oath, vow, or pledge that you may make during the next twelve months -- any oath, vow or pledge that you may take during the next twelve months shall be null and void.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The oath shall not be an oath; the vow shall not be a vow; the pledge shall not be a pledge.

You can't depend upon something as insecure as the leadership that is not obliged to respect an oath, vow or pledge.

Tomorrow's going to be a long day. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now I want to say one thing. You ask me. . . well, you think to yourself: "well how did this fellow get mixed up in this the way he got mixed up in it." Well, I opened my mouth in 1945, and I took big pages in newspapers and tried to tell the American people what I'm telling you. And one newspaper after another refused the advertisement. And when I couldn't find a newspaper to take them -- I paid cash, not credit -- what happened? My lawyer told me, "There's an editor over in Jersey with a paper who will take your announcement". So, I was brought together with Mr. McGinley, and that's how I met him.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So somebody told me the lawyer who introduced me, who was the son of the Dean of the Methodist Bishop, he said: "Well, I think he's a little anti-Semitic. I don't know whether I can get him over here. So he brought him over to my apartment and we hit it off wonderfully, and have since then.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>Now, I say this, and I say it without any qualifications. I say it without any reservations. And I say it without any hesitation. . . if it wasn't for the work that Mr. Conley McGinley did with "Common Sense" -- he's been sending out from 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 every year -- if it wasn't for the work he's been doing sending those out for fifteen years now, we would already be a communist country. Nobody has done what he did to light fires. Many of the other active persons in this fight learned all about if for the first time through "Common Sense". </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, I have been very active in helping him all I could. I'm not as flush as I was. I cannot go on spending the money. . . I'm not going to take up a collection. Don't worry. I see five people getting up to leave. (laughter)</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big>I haven't got the money that I used to spend. I used to print a quarter of a million of them out of my own pocket and send them out. Mr. McGinley, when I first met him, had maybe 5,000 printed and circulated them locally. So I said, "With what you know and what I know, we can really do a good job". So I started printing in outside shops of big newspaper companies, a quarter of a million, and paid for them. Well, there's always a bottom to the barrel. I suppose we've all reached that at times.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> I'm not so poor that I can't live without working and that's what worries the Anti-Defamation League. I can just get by without going and asking for a job or getting on the bread line. But Mr. McGinley is working. He's sick and he's going at this stronger than ever. And all I want to say is that they want to close up "Common Sense" more than any other single thing in the whole world, as a death-blow to the fight Christians are making to survive. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So I just want to tell you this. All they do is circulate rumors: "Mr. Benjamin H. Freedman is the wealthy backer of 'Common Sense'." The reason they do that is to discourage the people in the United States: don't send any money to Common Sense. They don't need it. The've got the wealthy Mr. Freedman as a backer. That all has strategy. They don't want to advertise me so that people that have real estate or securities to sell will come and call on me. They just want people to lay off "Common Sense". And all I'm telling you is, I do try to help him, but I haven't been able to. And I will be very honest. One thing I won't do is lie. In the last year I've had so much sickness in my family that I could not give him one dollar. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> How he's managed to survive, I don't know. God alone knows. And he must be in God's care because how he's pulled through his sickness and with his financial troubles, I don't know. But that press is working. . . and every two weeks about a hundred or a hundred-fifty-thousand of "Common Sense" go out with a new message. And if that information could be multiplied. . . if people that now get it could buy ten or twenty five, or fifty, give them around. Plow that field. Sow those seeds, you don't know which will take root, but for God's sake, this is our last chance.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> [Freedman then discusses the importance of people forgoing unnecessary purchases to 'buy more stuff', play golf, etc., and use the money to keep "Common Sense" going. He explains that the paper is going in debt; could be closed down and he (Freedman) no longer has the funds, having spent some $2,400,000 in his attempt to bring the information to the American public and elected officials. He then asks for questions from the audience.)</big></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>{Question inaudible] </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>Freedman: All right, I'll comment on that. This is rather deep, but you all have a very high degree of intelligence, so I'm going to make an attempt. In the time of Bible history, there was a geographic area known as Judea. Judea was a province of the Roman Empire. Now, a person who lived in Judea was known as a Judean, and in Latin it was Judaeus; in Greek it was Judaius. Those are the two words, in Greek and Latin, for a Judean. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, in Latin and Greek there is no such letter as 'j', and the first syllable of Judaeus and Judaius starts 'ghu'. Now, when the Bible was written, it was first written in Greek, Latin, Panantic, Syriac, Aramaic... all those languages. Never Was the word Jew in any of them because the word didn't exist. Judea was the country, and the people were Judeans, and Jesus was referred to only as a Judean. I've seen those early... the earliest scripts available. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In 1345, a man by the name of Wycliffe in England thought that it was time to translate the Bible into English. There was no English edition of the Bible because who the Devil could read? It was only the educated church people who could read Latin and Greek, Syriac, Aramaic and the other languages. Anyhow, Wycliffe translated the Bible into English. But in it, he had to look around for some words for Judaeas and Judaius. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> There was no English word because Judea had passed out of existence. There was no Judea. People had long ago forgotten that. So in the first translation he used the word, in referring to Jesus, as 'gyu', "jew". At the time, there was no printing press.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Then, between 1345 and the 17th century, when the press came into use, that word passed through so many changes... I have them all here. If you want I can read them to you. I will. That word 'gyu' which was in the Wycliffe Bible became. . . first it was ' gyu ', then ' giu ', then ' iu ' (because the ' i ' in Latin is pronounced like the ' j '. Julius Caesar is ' Iul ' because there is no 'j' in Latin) then ' iuw ', then ' ieuu ', then ' ieuy ', then ' iwe ', then ' iow ', then ' iewe ', all in Bibles as time went on. Then ' ieue ', then ' iue ', then ' ive ', and then ' ivw ', and finally in the 18th century... ' jew '. Jew. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> All the corrupt and contracted forms for Judaius, and Judaeas in Latin. Now, there was no such thing as 'Jew', and any theologian -- I've lectured in maybe 20 of the most prominent theological seminaries in this country, and two in Europe -- there was no such word as Jew. There only was Judea, and Jesus was a Judean and the first English use of a word in an English bible to describe him was 'gyu' -- Jew. A contracted and shortened form of Judaeus, just the same as we call a laboratory a 'lab', and gasoline 'gas'... a tendency to short up. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So, in England there were no public schools; people didn't know how to read; it looked like a scrambled alphabet so they made a short word out of it. Now for a theologian to say that you can't harm the Jews, is just ridiculous. I'd like to know where in the scriptures it says that. I'd like to know the text. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Look at what happened to Germany for touching Jews. What would you, as a citizen of the United States, do to people who did to you what the so-called Jews -- the Pollacks and Litvaks and Litzianers -- they weren't Jews, as I just explained to you. They were Eastern Europeans who'd been converted to Talmudism. There was no such thing as Judaism. Judaism was a name given in recent years to this religion known in Bible history as Torah [inaudible]. No Jew or no educated person ever heard of Judaism. It didn't exist. They pulled it out of the air. . . a meaningless word. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Just like 'anti-Semitic'. The Arab is a Semite. And the Christians talk about people who don't like Jews as anti-Semites, and they call all the Arabs anti-Semites. The only Semites in the world are the Arabs. There isn't one Jew who's a Semite. They're all Turkothean Mongoloids. The Eastern european Jews. So, they brainwashed the public, and if you will invite me to meet this reverend who told you these things, I'll convince him and it'll be one step in the right direction. I'll go wherever I have to go to meet him.</big></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>Yes, ma'am. Well... I can answer that. First of all, your first premise is wrong. Your first premise that all the Jews are loyal to each other is wrong. Because, the Eastern European Jews outnumber all the rest by so many that they create the impression that they are the Jewish 'race'; that they are the Jewish nation; that they are the Jewish people. . . and the Christians swallow it like a cream puff. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> But in 1844 the German rabbis called a conference of rabbis from all over the world for the purpose of abolishing the Kol Nidre from the Day of Atonement religious ceremony. In Brunswick, Germany, where that conference was held in 1844, there was almost a terrific riot. A civil war. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> The Eastern Europeans said, "What the hell. We should give up Kol Nidre? That gives us our grip on our people. We give them a franchise so they can tell the Christians, 'Go to hell. We'll make any deal you want', but they don't have to carry it out. That gives us our grip on our people". So, they're not so united, and if you knew the feeling that exists. . .</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Now, I'll also show you from an official document by the man responsible for. . . uh, who baptized this race. Here is a paper that we obtained from the archives of the Zionist organization in New York City, and in it is the manuscript by Sir James A. Malcolm, who -- on behalf of the British Cabinet -- negotiated the deal with these Zionists. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> And in here he says that all the jews in England were against it. The Jews who had been there for years, the [inaudible - probably Sephardim], those who had Portuguese and Spanish ad Dutch ancestry... who were monotheists and believed in that religious belief. That was while the Eastern European Jews were still running around in the heart of Asia and then came into Europe. But they had no more to do with them than. . . can we talk about a Christian 'race'? or a Christian religion?... or are the Christians united? </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So the same disunity is among the Jews. And I'll show you in this same document that when they went to France to try and get the French government to back that Zionist venture, there was only one Jew in France who was for it. That was Rothschild, and they did it because they were interested in the oil and the Suez Canal</big></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>------------------------------------------------</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>[Question inaudible] Freedman: You know why? Because if they don't, they're decked up. They come around and they tell you how much you must give, and if you don't . . . oh, you're anti-Semitic. Then none of their friends will have anything to do with them, and they start a smear campaign. . . and you have got to give. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> In New York city, in the garment center, there are twelve manufacturers in the building. And when the drive is on to sell Israel Bonds, the United Jewish Drive, they put a big scoreboard with the names of the firms and opposite them, as you make the amount they put you down for, they put a gold star after the name. Then, the buyers are told, "When you come into that building to call on someone and they haven't got a gold star, tell them that you won't buy from them until they have the gold star". BLACKMAIL. I don't know what else you can call it.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Then what do they do? They tell you it's for 'humanitarian purposes' and they send maybe $8 billion dollars to Israel, tax exempt, tax deductible. So if they hadn't sent that eight billion dollars to Israel, seven billion of it would have gone into the U.S. Treasury as income tax. So what happens? That seven billion dollars deficit -- that air pocket -- the gullible Christians have to make up. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> <b> </b>They put a bigger tax on gas<b> </b>or bread or corporation tax. Somebody has to pay the housekeeping expenses for the government. So why do you let these people send their money over there to buy guns to drive people out of their ancient homeland? And you say, "Oh, well. The poor Jews. They have no place to go and they've been persecuted all their lives". They've never been persecuted for their religion. And I wish I had two rows of Rabbis here to challenge me. Never once, in all of history, have they been persecuted for their religion. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> Do you know why the Jews were driven out of England? King Edward the First in 1285 drove them out, and they never came back until the Cromwell Revolution which was financed by the Rothschilds. For four-hundred years there wasn't a Jew. But do you know why they were driven out? Because in the Christian faith and the Moslem faith it's a sin to charge 'rent' for the use of money. In other words - what we call interest [usury] is a sin. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> So the Jews had a monopoly in England and they charged so much interest, and when the Lords and Dukes couldn't pay, they [Jews] foreclosed. And they were creating so much trouble that the king of England finally made himself their partner, because when they they came to foreclose, some of these dukes bumped off the Jews. . . the money-lenders. So the king finally said -- and this is all in history, look up Tianson [Tennyson?] or Rourke, the History of the Jews in England; two books you can find in your library. When the king found out what the trouble was all about, and how much money they were making, he declared himself a fifty-percent partner of the money lenders. Edward the First. And for many years, one-third of the revenues of the British Treasury came from the fifty-percent interest in money-lending by the Jews. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> But it got worse and worse. So much worse that when the Lords and Dukes kept killing the money-lenders, the King then said, "I declare myself the heir of all the money-lenders. If they're killed you have to pay me, because I'm his sole heir". That made so much trouble, because the King had to go out and collect the money with an army, so he told the Jews to get out. There were 15,000 of them, and they had to get out, and they went across to Ireland, and that's how Ireland got to be part of the United Kingdom. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> When King Edward found out what they were doing, he decided to take Ireland for himself before someone else did. He sent Robert Southgard with a mercenary army and conquered Ireland. So, show me one time where a Jew was persecuted in any country because of his religion. It has never happened. It's always their impact on the political, social, or economic customs and traditions of the community in which they settle. </big></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big>[Question inaudible] Freedman: Yes, sir. Well, they say most of those things themselves. It was unnecessary for Benjamin Franklin to say it. Most of those things they say themselves. But Benjamin Franklin observed, and by hearsay understood, what was happening in Europe. </big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> When Russia, in 920 was formed, and gradually surrounded the Khazar Kingdom, and absorbed them, most of the well-to-do Khazars fled to Western Europe and brought with them the very things to which you object and I object and a lot of other people object. The customs, the habits, the instincts with which they were endowed.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> When Benjamin Franklin referred to them as Jews because that's the name that they went by, and when the Christians first heard that these people who were fleeing from Russia -- who they were -- that they had practiced this Talmudic faith -- the Christians in Western Europe said, "They must be the remnants of the lost ten tribes!" </big> </span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span > <big> And Mr. Grutz, the greatest historian amongst the Jews, said that -- and he's probably as good an authority on that subject as there is. So when Ben Franklin came to Europe in the 18th century, he already saw the results of what these people had done after they left their homeland. And every word of it is true... they say it themselves. I can give you half a dozen books they've written in which they say the same thing: When they have money they become tyrants. And when they become defeated, they become ruthless. They're only barbarians. They're the descendants of Asiatic Mongols and they will do anything to accomplish their purpose.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> What right did they have to take over Russia the way they did? The Czar had abdicated nine or ten months before that. There was no need for them. . . they were going to have a constitutional monarchy. But they didn't want that. When the constitutional monarchy was to assemble in November, they mowed them all down and established the Soviet Union.</big></span></p><p align="left" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ><big> There was no need for that. But they thought, "Now is the time", and if you you will look in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the word 'Bolshevism', you'll find the five laws there that Lenin put down for a successful revolution.

Al-Banna adalah pengikut berdedikasi Rida dan pembaca Al-Manar, majalah Ridha. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(235, 239, 249); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">Perhatian utama Rida, seperti juga Muhammad Abduh, adalah kemunduran tamadun Islam relatif dengan kebangkitan negara-negara barat. Mereka berdua percaya bahawa kecenderungan ini boleh dibatalkan hanya dengan kembali ke bentuk "murni" Islam, bebas dari semua penafsiran dan inovasi yang telah dicairkan kekuatan dari mesej asal. Tetapi sementara Abduh yang hendak menggunakan apa yang dia fikir sebagai prinsip-prinsip asal Islam untuk membentuk pembaharuan dan liberalisme, Rida dan terutama Banna mengenalpasti prinsip asal yang berbeza dan mempunyai program yang berbeza sama sekali. Al-Banna percaya bahawa bahaya utama Islam bukan konservatisme Al-Azhar dan Ulama. Walaupun ia mengkritik konservatif, Al-Banna lebih takut naiknya Barat dan sekularisme. Dia ingin konservatif untuk lebih aktif dalam mengutuk ateisme dan mubaligh Kristian, dan dalam memerangi kolonialisme. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">Al-Banna memutuskan untuk mendedikasikan dirinya untuk menjadi "seorang kaunselor dan seorang guru" orang dewasa dan anak-anak, untuk mengajar mereka "tujuan agama dan sumber kesejahteraan mereka dan kebahagiaan dalam hidup". Dia lulus dari Dar al Ulum pada tahun 1927 dan mengambil kedudukan sebagai seorang guru Bahasa Arab di sebuah sekolah dasar negeri di Isma'iliya, dekat Terusan Suez Zone. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">Dalam Isma'iliyya, di samping tugas mengajar, Al-Banna memberi kuliah malam kepada orang tua murid-muridnya '. Dia juga berkhutbah di masjid, dan di kopi-rumah.Dia meletakkan dirinya di makam-makam di mana umat Islam yang soleh kemungkinan besar akan berkumpul, dan menempatkan wajah toleran pada ajarannya, mengelakkan perselisihan dengan tradisi dan adat istiadat tempatan. Sebagai contoh, pemujaan orang-orang soleh muslim yang meninggal dianggap syirik, iaitu politeistik. Orang yang soleh tetapi jahil membuat pusat-pusat pemujaan daripada laman makam orang suci, yang dalam teori mengancam tauhid - monoteisme. Al-Banna muncul di halaman tersebut dan tidak mengkritik amalan tersebut. Dia menggunakan pertemuan untuk menarik orang ke dalam gerakan dan mengadakan pertemuan menerangkan pandangannya tentang Islam. Dia juga mengurangkan perbezaan pendapat dengan para elite agama, yang tidak senang dengan pandangannya yang menggalakkan Ijtihad – pandangan-pandangan baru dalam Islam. Al-Banna mengadopsi pakaian semi-barat daripada jubah tradisional, dan janggut sederhana, untuk menarik penonton Mesir terluas dan terlihat modern. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">Al Banna telah menolak kehadiran penjajah Inggeris dan lain-lain di Ismailiya, termasuk kem tentera, pemilikan utiliti oleh konsesi asing dan hotel-hotel mewah yang kontras dengan perumahan buruk pekerja Mesir. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); "><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">Al-Banna melancarkan Pertubuhan Ikhwanul Muslimin pada bulan Mac 1928.

However you can train your mind to focus on the good things in your life rather than dwelling on the bad. No it’s not one of those positive thinking articles that you’ve read all over the web and are sick and tired of. This is about changing the way you think, changing your thinking pattern. Do you use any of these thinking patterns in your day to day life?<br /><strong>8 limiting patterns of thinking</strong></p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "></p><ol style="list-style-type: none; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 25px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘Life is shit’ Thinking pattern –</strong>Everything in life is bad, everybody is not to be trusted and nothing good will ever happen to them e.g. “I won’t get that job, the interviewer didn’t like me, I didn’t particularly like them anyway.”</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘Unsubstantiated conclusive’ Thinking pattern– </strong>You tend to make a lot of conclusions without any evidence to back up your conclusions. This can be a really destructive pattern as it can limit you in seeing reality for what it is e.g. “He walks a bit funny, he must be gay.” (I actually heard someone saying this about a colleague last week).</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘Never to me’ Thinking pattern – </strong>This is when you think nothing good will ever happen to you. This can be a deep seated way of thinking and it is a deep down inability to believe you are worthy of anything good happening to you e.g. “I’ll never have money, I’ve never had it before so I’ll never have it in the future, might as well carry on with this shitty job, at least it pays the mortgage.”</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘The negative psychic’ Thinking pattern – </strong>Presuming you know what people are thinking about you and it’s all bad. e.g. “She thinks I’m an idiot, I’ll try to avoid talking to her.”</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘Should, would, could’ Thinking pattern – </strong>This type of person knows what they have to do to change their life, they are capable and they know it and they would do it if only……… e.g. “I know I could go to university and I would, but I’m just to busy with other things right now, I’ll apply next year.”</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘Emotion based’ Thinking pattern – </strong>Your emotions control what you are thinking and therefore your vision of what reality is e.g. “I feel incapable of doing that so I must be incapable”.</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘It’s all my fault’ Thinking pattern – </strong>You see yourself as being the cause of everything bad that has happened e.g. “It’s my fault he left me for another woman.” You’ll notice this type of person does not take responsibility for the good things that happen.</li><li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>‘They’re all wrong’ Thinking pattern – </strong>You see everyone as incapable of doing anything right and your way is the best way to do it e.g. “He can’t do it right, I’ll stay late tonight and fix it when he’s gone.”</li></ol><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; ">These are just some of the common thinking patterns I have come across in my life and I have used some of them myself, I used to use mix the <strong>‘Never to me’</strong> and <strong>‘The negative psychic’</strong> thinking patterns about everything, “She’ll never go out with me she thinks I’m an idiot.” I made a conscious effort to change what I believed about myself and what I believed about the world and it has literally changed my life.</p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>How to change the destructive thinking patterns</strong></p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>The first stage of changing is to recognise the problem – </strong>You will find a lot of people in life who just don’t think there is a problem so there is no need to change. If this is you then do nothing. If you want to change you must think there is a need and you will start to recognise what things need to change and it usually starts with your perception of life. Everybody’s perception of life is different, therefore everyone’s reality is different. I don’t live in the same world as you and you don’t live in the same world as me. That might sound a strange concept to some people, but think about it for a few minutes, it could change the way you see the world. I’ll give you an example:</p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><em>In 2004 I took a redundancy package from my place of employment and received about £10,000 for my troubles, not a lot at all when I was earning £25,000 a year when I left. I was speaking to my friend about it and he thought I was absolutely nuts to do it, especially since I was married with two children. I explained to him how free I felt and what plans I had to start an online book dealing business and my wife was right behind me. He still thought I was crazy. My perception of the world was one of opportunity, life was great and I was free from the rat race for a while and I would get to see my wife and children a lot more than I had, I was ecstatic and if it didn’t work out I had a lot of skills to offer another employer. My friends perception was one of doom and gloom, he needed the security of a full time job even though he hated it and was working 12 hours per day. It turns out I worked at it for 1 year made a good profit but gave it up due to a huge downturn in business. At the end of it I was still optimistic as I knew I was good enough to get another job until I could do something else.</em></p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; ">Everybody’s view of the world is different and it all comes down to the thinking patterns you use in your daily life. If you think life is wonderful you will notice the wonderful things in your life, if you think life is shit you will find shit things about life. Change your thoughts and you literally change the world you are living in. First you have to recognise your destructive thinking pattern.</p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>The second stage is to be aware of when you are using the destructive thinking patterns – </strong>We can employ different thinking patterns depending on what we are doing in life. For example you could use a positive thinking pattern at work as you are very confident in your ability and yet use a destructive one when it comes to looking for love. Recognising when you use destructive thinking patterns can help you to change that pattern. Now that you have recognised when you use the destructive thinking patterns it is now time to change it.</p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>The third stage is to replace the bad with the good – </strong>This is something that you don’t do immediately. You don’t say to yourself ‘I’ll never be able to do that”, which is you old thinking pattern, to “Oh yes I can”. That won’t work. You have to let the old pattern die slowly whilst slowly introducing your new improved thinking pattern. Here an example:</p><p style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><em>You are out in a club and you want to talk to someone you are attracted to. Your thoughts are “ She’ll never talk to me, she’s gorgeous.” You will immediately recognise this pattern of thinking and tell yourself something good about yourself e.g. “I’m good at _______(FILL IN THE BLANK), it can be anything. This will not immediately help your situation but it will slowly begin to change your old destructive thinking pattern with a new one.<br /></em><br />This stage takes place over time and is not done immediately. The best time to change a destructive thinking pattern is to let it run it’s course and slowly replace it with a thinking pattern that is better for you. I know people want a microwave life, stick it in the micro and it’s ready in 3 minutes, your life is not like that and you cannot change in 1 day, unless something drastic happens.<br />You can work on more than 1 destructive thinking pattern at a time.</p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>To recap</strong></p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; ">To change your thinking pattern you have to</p><p style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>Recognise</strong><br /><strong>Be aware</strong><br /><strong>Slowly change and introduce a new thinking pattern</strong><br /><strong>Keep working on all your destructive thinking patterns</strong></p><p align="justify" style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; "><strong>Change your life with your new way of thinking</strong></p><p style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; ">Recognising and changing your way of thinking can be a long process depending on what patterns of thinking you employ and how badly you want to change. People can change, do change and change for the rest of their lives, I know I have, so don’t be thinking you’ll never be able to change, you can and you will if you really want to.</p><p style="color: rgb(47, 46, 46); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; ">After a few months you will see a huge difference in your life and you will want to use your new way of thinking to good effect. You will start to notice new types of people enter into your life who can help you reach the goals you have in life and in turn you will help them reach their goals, don’t worry about how just now.<br />Take time to think about your goals and take the time often to do this. I take time every day to think about where I want to be in life and slowly but surely it happens. Personally I find it better in the morning to really think about my goals and then again at night just before I am falling asleep. It works for me but you will have to experiment a little to find your way of thinking about your goals.</p></div></span>Norisahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10367909993964733381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443006434794892308.post-25189692506578760632011-02-23T16:58:00.000-08:002011-02-23T17:00:07.863-08:00Ten Commandments in the Quran<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align: justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">Islam (Submission to the will of God) is the same and only religion <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align: justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">ever given to the human race.

It is actually the short sighted people and those who are not true submitters who make a quick judgment that what happened to someone is bad (or good in this regard). It has been proven frequently that what seems to be bad in our eyes turns to be a blessing to that person and vice verse. The test was actually given as much to those who witness what is happening and make rush judgment and fail their test while the person who seems to receive the "bad" incident had enriched his soul and progressed and counted with the winners.</p><p align="left"><span >[2:216] .. But you may dislike something which is good for you, and you may like something which is bad for you. GOD knows while you do not know.</span><span ></span></p><p align="left">In this article I am mainly discussing the testing of the believers. When bad things happen to someone it is usually one of two things, either a punishment or a test (4:79, 42:30, 3:165). The disbelievers may <b>not </b>be punished in this life and allowed to transgress for a while to accumulate more sins and prepare for their humiliating defeat in the Hereafter. The believers on the other hand may be punished quickly in this life to bring them back to the right path, give them the chance to repent and correct what wrong they may have done. What seems to be a punishment for us or the people around us may just be a test to polish our qualities, expose our weakness and give us a chance to work on it and correct it, and also to see if we belong to those lucky ones who will steadfastly persevere while submitting to God ALONE and accepting His judgment in this life and in the Hereafter.. Throughout the Quran God gives a special rank in Heaven for those who steadfastly persevere, (2:54, 2:153, 2:155, 2:177, 2:249, 2:250, 3:17, 3:142, 3:146, 3:186, 3:200, 4:25, 7:126, 8:46, 8:66, 10:109, 11:11,11:49, 11:115, 12:90, 13:22, 13:24, 16:42, 16:96, 16:110, 16:126, 16:127, 18:28, 20:130, 21:85, 22:35, 23:111, 25:75, 28:54, 28:80, 29:59, 30:60, 31:17, 32:24, 33:35, 38:17, 38:44, 39:10, 40:55, 40:77, 41:35, 42:43, 46:35, 47:31, 76:12, 90:17, 103:3). Remember that people do not steadfastly persevere on good life, good health, good wealth, victory, happy times, but they do it for an adversity and/or lack of any of the above. We have to remember that death is not by itself a punishment as all of us will die, but death of someone can be a punishment or a test for the living others to see how they can accept God's judgment and submit to Him in the good times and in the bad times, under all circumstances. Those who go through their test while steadfastly persevering are the most fortunate believers, they are the lucky ones despite their difficulties in this life and their perseverance in face of all the ignorant ones who do not understand God's system.<span ><br /><br /></span><span >[41:35] None can attain this except those who steadfastly persevere. None can attain this except those who are extremely fortunate.</span></p><p><u>The Test</u></p><p align="left">Testing the believers will vary. It may be mild and light or hard and exacting. Sickness, fear, hunger, poverty, death, loss of power or control, losing a battle, failing an examination, failing a marriage, failing a business, losing a job or a friend…etc. are just few examples. Testing may also be in the form of blessings, wealth, health, knowledge, children, family, security, peace…etc. What to do with these blessings is a great test. The test may also be given, by testing us by<br />one another. The true believers submit to God in all cases and under all circumstances.</p><p align="left"><span >[2:155] We will surely test you through some fear, hunger, and loss of money, lives, and crops. Give good news to the steadfast.</span></p><p align="left"><span >[8:28] You should know that your money and your children are a test, and that GOD possesses a great recompense.</span></p><p align="left"><span >[3:186] You will certainly be tested, through your money and your lives, and you will hear from those who received the scripture, and form idol worshippers, a lot of insult. If you steadfastly persevere and lead a righteous life, this will prove the strength of your faith.</span></p><p><u><big>Who will be tested?</big></u></p><p align="left">The Quran shows us that all the believers will be tested, prophets, messengers, saints, righteous people, all will be tested.</p><p align="left"><span >[47:31] We will certainly put you to the test, in order to distinguish those among you who strive, and steadfastly persevere. We must expose your true qualities.</span></p><p align="left">Abraham, the prophet, who was called God’s friend was put to an exacting test.</p><p align="left"><span >[2:124] Recall that Abraham was put to the test by his Lord, through certain commands, and he fulfilled them..</span></p><p align="left"><span >[37:105-106] "You (Abraham) have believed the dream." We thus reward the righteous. That was an exacting test indeed.</span></p><p align="left">Adam and Eve, were put to the test several times including expulsion from Heaven, and may have lived through the loss of their righteous son. Noah lost his son twice, first lost him as a disbeliever but still loved him, then lost him to the flood while calling on God to save him. The prophet Muhammed lost his only born son (Ibrahim) as all historical accounts mentions and was very saddened by it. Muhammed spent a great deal of his life struggling with the disbelievers going from one war to another. Exposed to killings, wounding, loss of friends and loved ones, he was truely tested. God could have won him the wars while Muhammed staying home enjoying a peaceful life of a prophet. Noah, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Solomon, Jesus, John, Job, Jonah, and Muhammed, were all given different and difficult tests.</p><p align="left"><span >[38:34] "We thus put Solomon to the test; we blessed him with vast material wealth, but he steadfastly submitted."</span></p><p align="left"><span >[38:41] Remember our servant Job: he called upon his Lord, "The devil has afflicted me with hardship and pain."</span></p><p align="left">The believers were tested to the maximum until shaken up.</p><p align="left"><span >[2:214] Do you expect to enter Paradise without being tested like those before you? They were tested with hardship and adversity, and were shaken up, until the messenger and those who believed with him said, "Where is GOD's victory?" GOD's victory is near.</span></p><p><u><big>When?</big></u></p><p align="left">Since this is a test, we would not know when, where or what kind of test we might be given. We do not make the choice, God does. He is the Almighty, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.</p><p><u><big>Testing the believers. Expose the hypocrites</big></u></p><p><a name="While">While</a> God is testing the believers, He is also exposing the hypocrites and confusing the disbelievers and leading them on in their transgression, blundering. They do not<br />understand God’s system and think they are right when they are dead wrong. God<br />gave us their example in the Quran when He talked about the Battle of the Parties<br />in 33:9-12, and about the hypocrites in <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#950">9:50-51</a>. See also <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#3118">3:118-120</a>, and <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2211">22:11</a></p><p><span >[33:9-12] "O you who believe, remember GOD's blessing upon you; when soldiers attacked you, we sent upon them violent wind and invisible soldiers. GOD is Seer of everything you do.<br />When they came from above you, and from beneath you, your eyes were terrified, your hearts ran out of patience, and you harbored unbefitting thoughts about GOD. That is when the believers were truly tested; they were severely shaken up. The hypocrites and those with doubts in their hearts said, "What GOD and His messenger promised us was no more than an illusion!" "</span></p><p><u><big>But what did the true believers say?</big></u></p><p align="left"><span >[33:22] When the true believers saw the parties (ready to attack), they said, "This is what GOD and His messenger have promised us, and GOD and His messenger are truthful." This (dangerous situation) only strengthened their faith and augmented their submission.</span></p><p><u><big>What should the Believers do?</big></u></p><p align="left"><span >[9:51] Say, "Nothing happens to us, except what GOD has decreed for us. He is our Lord and Master. In GOD the believers shall trust."</span></p><p align="left"><span >[2:156] "When an affliction befalls them, they say, "We belong to God, and to Him we are returning."</span></p><p align="left">In face of adversity or hardship, the true believers are expected to submit. We are being tested to see if we are truly submitters or not, whether we submit to God during the bad times and the good times or not. God gave us the correct solution in His book, the Quran. Submitting to God, means to accept whatever God has given us or taken away from us, to steadfastly persevere and to wait for God’s victory. In practical terms, let us put it in steps;<br /><br />Whenever an adversity or hardship afflict a believer, he/she should:</p><p align="left">(1) Should not panic. God does test the believers and if He is punishing us, it is to get our attention to correct something wrong we did. He is helping us out instead of leaving us in the dark. Since we asked for our freedom, He gave it to us and it is up to us to correct any wrong doing on our own, He only points things to us and we freely chose.</p><p align="left">(2) <a name="Check">Check</a> to see if he/she has got off the right path. Is he/she still worshipping God alone and following His book. Correct your path and stay with God alone, if you were not.</p><p align="left">(3) Submit to God, by accepting what happened to you without objecting. See <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2155">2:155-157</a></p><p align="left">(4) <a name="Implore">Implore</a> God to remove the hardship or adversity. God wants us to implore Him. Do not rush an answer. God runs everything. See <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#4060">40:60</a></p><p align="left">(5) Steadfastly persevere, see <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2153">2:153</a>, <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#245">2:45</a>, <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#9017">90:17,</a> <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2177">2:177 </a>and<a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#1033">103:3</a> and this is the greatest trait of the true believers.

Victory is in the way. God’s victory is near. See <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#3047">30:47</a>, <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#3060">30:60,</a> <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2155">2:155</a> and <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#2214">2:214</a></p><p align="left">(7) There are two kinds of victories according to the Quran, victory in this life and the bigger and most important victory in the Hereafter. God has promised the believers both victories. Some of these victories my be in disguise and not apparent to other people. Other victories are obvious and clear. The true believer can identify many victories in his/her life even during the most difficult times or the time of testing. Of the many victories that the believers will see in this life, finding the right path and accepting God alone is the most important one. The believers accept whichever victory or testing comes their way, and always strive to achieve the eternal victory in the Hereafter. <a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm#95052">9:50-52</a></p><p align="left">With the help of God and the assurance in the Quran, the true believers will make<br />the best out of their test or punishment and wait for God’s victory. They are absolutely sure that God’s Victory is near and that God’s victory is their reward.</p><p align="left">Praise be to God.</p><p align="left"><a href="http://www.submission.org/test.htm">http://www.submission.org/test.htm</a></p></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table></span>Norisahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10367909993964733381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443006434794892308.post-7418352090984164402011-02-20T18:15:00.001-08:002011-02-20T18:20:49.287-08:00Kisah turunnya Nabi Isa menentang Dajjal di dalam Bible<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;

Bila berhadapan dengan orang-orang kaya, orang berpangkat, tokoh-tokoh masyarakat, kita akan memandang dengan penuh kekaguman, manakala orang yang dipandang pastinya akan merasa aura penghormatan dan merasa sesuatu , kalau bukan bangga pun pastinya ‘the feel good feelings’.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kita juga berlumba-lumba untuk menjadi orang-orang yang hebat, masuk MLM untuk mendapatkan kehebatan dengan cara mudah, melabur dan mencari kekayaan agar dipandang hebat. Kita sambung belajar sebab apabila ada master dan doctorate kita<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>adalah seorang yang hebat. Lebih buruk lagi adalah apabila kita menuntut penghormatan sebab kita orang yang hebat menurut<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>pengamatan kita.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kehebatan itu bukan milik kita sebenarnya sebab kejayaan kita dari segi duniawi adalah datang dan dibentuk oleh persekitaran kita. Kita tak punya banyak pilihan dalam menentukan apa takdir kita didunia ini. Sebagai contoh, putera raja yang kedua pastinya tidak akan menjadi raja kerana beliau dilahirkan sebagai anak kedua. Adakah itu menunjukkan anak yang pertama itu hebat?Tentu tidak. Putera raja itu juga tidak <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>dapat menentukan dimana beliau akan dilahirkan sebab takdir didalam rahim mana ruh itu ditiup berada didalam kuasa Allah. Jika anak raja itu tadi sedar, nasibnya tidak lebih baik dari anak pengemis sebab nasib masing-masing itu berada dalam genggaman Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Mau tidak mau, persekitaran kemudiannya membentuk seseorang dan menentukan perjalanan hidup seseorang. Jika lahirnya didalam keluarga cendekiawan, tentulah anak-anak itu terdorong kearah menjadi pemikir<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>atau orang yang punya banyak ilmu. Jika lahir didalam keluarga ahli perniagaan tentunya ia sangat-sangat terpengaruh dengan perniagaan. Ramai dari pemimpin kita juga lahir didalam keluarga yang susur galurnya pemimpin. Jadi dimana tempat anak-anak yang merempat dijalanan? Tentunya Allah tak adil jika menilai manusia dari segi harta dan darjat seseorang. Dengan keadilan Allah, maka manusia-manusia yang dhaif ini secara automatic Allah tingkatkan darjat mereka disisinya dan mendapat kasih sayangnya melebihi manusia yang lainnya. Andaikata mereka redha dengan kesusahan mereka maka rahmat dan kasih saying Allah melimpah ruah untuk mereka dan juga syurga telah dijanjikan oleh Allah untuk mereka.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Pada hakikatnya, tidak ada maknanya siapa kita disisi masyarakat. Kita boleh menjadi pemikir yang hebat, jutawan, tokoh politik yang dihormati, ahli akademik terulung tapi kita sama sahaja dengan orang buta yang menjual tisu, pengutip sampah dijalanan. Sehingga kita dapat merasa sama seperti mereka maka selagi itu disisi Allah mereka lebih baik dari kita. Kita punya ramai pemikir ulung yang dapat berfikir untuk manfaat dunia tapi tidak dapat memikirkan untuk memperbaiki diri mereka dan keluarga mereka. Ramai hartawan tapi tidak dermawan Ramai tokoh politik tapi politik dalam rumahnya sendiri hancur…<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Jadi….

Katanya, sebuah hasil lukisan yang original takkan sama dengan hasil-hasil ciplak dari lukisan original tersebut. Walaupun hasil peniruan itu hampir-hampir sama, tetapi setiap satu hasil peniruan itu pasti berbeza, walaupun berjuta jumlahnya. Apa kaitannya dengan kita? Bagi mencapai kesempurnaan disisi Allah SWT, setiap umat Islam wajib mengikuti tatacara Rasulullah SAW. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Namun, walau sekuat mana kita berusaha untuk mencapai persamaan<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>dengan Rasulullah SAW, pastinya ia tidak kan sama kerana kita adalah individu yang berbeza. Setiap individu punya kekuatan dan kelemahan masing-masing. Itu memang tabi’i manusia. Ada yang punya stamina yang berlebihan seperti kaum Afrika. Ada kaum yang Allah kurniakan <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>kelembutan jiwa. Ada kaum yang Allah SWT jadikan punya semangat yang kuat untuk bekerja. Oleh itu raikanlah perbezaan itu. Begitu juga secara individu. Setiap seorang punya kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Tidak layak kita untuk mendabik dada dengan kejayaan kita jika kita sedar yang kelebihan kita dari sesuatu segi itu adalah kurniaan Allah. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Contoh yang paling jelas adalah pelajar yang bodoh dan pintar didalam satu-satu tingkatan. Memang wujud pelajar yang lembab iaitu pelajar yang diajar berkali-kali tetapi masih tidah memahami konsep matematik umpamanya. Ada pelajar yang bila diajar sekali sahaja sudah dapat memahami. Kedua-dua pelajar bertungkus lumus belajar dan menghadapi peperiksaan. Mungkin pelajar yang pintar itu berusaha tidak sekuat pelajar yang lembab tadi. Secara logiknya bolehlah kita katakan yang pelajar yang pintar tadi akan lulus dengan cemerlang dan pelajar yang lembab tadi keputusannya bakal sederhana sahaja. Itu adalah fitrah alam. Tiada salahnya dengan apa yang berlaku. Akan tetapi keadaan menjadi salah apabila pelajar yang lembab itu mempersalahkan Allah kerana<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>beliau tidak memahami apa yang sebenarnya yang berlaku. Pelajar yang pintar itu juga bersalah apabila ia merasakan kepintarannyalah yang mencetuskan kejayaannya. Dalam situasi sebegini sebenarnya pelajar yang merasakan dirinya lembab itu berada dalam situasi yang lebih selamat kerana kelemahannya membuat beliau merasa rendah diri. Dimasa hadapan juga beliau mungkin kurang Berjaya berbanding sipintar dari segi kerjaya dan keadaan ini tidak memungkinkan beliau mendapat penyakit-penyakit hati seperti sombong , riak , ujub dan takabbur. Beliau telah diselamatkan Allah dari segi itu. Namun demikian beliau masih berkewajipan dari segi-segi yang lain. Berbalik kepada sicerdik tadi, pastinya kan tercetus kekaguman pada dirinya. Keadaan bertambah <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>buruk jika kehidupan seterusnya ‘is a smooth sailing’. Berjaya dengan cemerlang diperingkat pengajian tinggi dan seterusnya menapak dengan cemerlang dilapangan kerjaya.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Berapa ramai manusia sebegini yang kita lahirkan didalam masyarakat kita? Jiwa-jiwa ini tenggelam dalam kekaguman diri dan memandang orang-orang bawahan dengan pandangan rendah. Jika tidak pandai menghasilkan kertas kerja digelar ‘bodoh’. Bercampur mereka hanya dengan manusia-manusia se’taraf’. Malangnya keangkuhan mereka itu pastinya tanpa mereka sedari kan membawa kehancuran kepada diri sendiri. Allah kan tambah nikmat-nikmat yang banyak seperti harta, wang ringgit, kemasyhuran dan kegemerlapan dunia agar mereka terus lalai sehingga akhirnya segala nikmat itu direnggut secara kasar dari mereka dengan mendadak.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Allah s.w.t telah berfirman di dalam<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">ayat 44 - 45 surah Al-An'am<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="color:black">yang bermaksud: (sila rujuk untuk kepastian)</span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">"Tatkala mereka lupa akan apa yg diperingatkan kepada mereka, Kami bukakan bagi mereka beberapa pintu tiap-tiap sesuatu (nikmat dan kesenangan), sehinggalah apabila mereka telah bersuka ria dengan (kesenangan)yang mereka perdapat itu, lalu dengan se-konyong-konyong Kami siksa mereka, sehingga mereka berputus asa." -44- "Maka dihapuskanlah akhirnya kaum yang aniaya; dan pujian-pujian bagi Allah Tuhan Semesta Alam" -45-</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Rasulallah s.a.w telah bersabda yang bermaksud:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black"><br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">"Apabila kamu melihat Allah memberikan kepada seorang hambaNya di dunia ini apa yang hamba itu suka atau berhajat, sedangkan hambaNya itu tetap dalam kemaksiatannya maka itulah<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">ISTIDRAJ".<span style="color:black"> Selepas itu Rasulallah s.a.w pun membaca ayat tadi 44- 45 (surah Al-An'am)<b> <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></b></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; text-indent:36.0pt">Bukan mudah untuk membuang rasa riak dan ujub didalam diri walaupun dikalangan manusia-manusia yang beriman. Ianya biasa saja berlaku walau dikalangan cerdik pandai Islam dan orang –orang yang soleh. Cuma bagi orang –orang yang ikhlas pastinya dengan keinginan yang besungguh-sungguh dari tuan punya diri, Allah akan bantu untuk memerangi wabak yang kita tidak sedari ini. Jangan terperanjat perusahaan yang sedang maju, perniagaan yang telah mencapai jutaan ringgit, dengan kehendak Allah boleh hancur.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Seseorang yang terkenal tiba-tiba dimalukan dikhalayak ramai, jatuh air mukanya, mungkin disebabkan kasih sayang Allah padanya.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Jika kita tidak berusaha sendiri mengubat penyakit kita, kemungkinan ubat dari Allah itu sangat pahit rasanya. Namun tiada ubat yang manis rasanya kecuali ubat batuk yang jika banyak dimakan kan membawa ketagihan. Sesungguhnya rahmat dan kasih sayang Allah itu meliputi segala-galanya. Apa yang sepatutnya berlaku pada pelajar yang pintar tadi ialah beliau harus sedar yang kelebihan dan kepintaran akal pada rongga tengkorak kepala beliau itu hanya refleksi kebijaksanaan Allah SWT. Kelebihan itu datang bersama tanggungjawab yang besar yang bebannya khusus untuk beliau dan tidak kepada budak yang lembab tadi. Dengan kelebihan akal tersebut seharusnya membuatkan dia meras insaf dan takut tidak terlaksana beban tanggungjawab tersebut. Seorang yang bijaksana akan tersungkur menyembah, meminta pertolongan Allah yang Maha Esa agar membantunya mengendalikan kehidupannya yang ia sendiri tidak pasti bagaimana ranjau dan durinya…. Berbahgialah orang-orang yang menggunakan akalnya. Pintarkah pelajar yang cemerlang akademik tapi akalnya tidak membawa dia kearah ketaatan kepada Allah SWT? Mungkin pelajar yang bodoh tadi lebih pintar jika dia insaf dengan kekurangannya dan itu menjadikan dia lebih tawadhuk…..</p>Norisahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10367909993964733381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443006434794892308.post-74215783658229381212010-06-14T01:26:00.000-07:002010-06-14T01:35:24.271-07:00Al-Fajr<h1 style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><br /></h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span dir="ltr"><b>[1<a name="1"></a>]</b><br />Demi waktu fajar;<br /><b>[2<a name="2"></a>]</b><br />Dan malam yang sepuluh (yang mempunyai kelebihan di sisi Allah);<br /><b>[3<a name="3"></a>]</b><br />Dan bilangan yang genap serta yang ganjil;<br /><b>[4<a name="4"></a>]</b><br />Dan malam, apabila ia berlalu; -<br /><b>[5<a name="5"></a>]</b><br />Bukankah yang demikian itu mengandungi sumpah (yang diakui kebenarannya) oleh orang yang berakal sempurna?<br /><b>[6<a name="6"></a>]</b><br />(Kami tetap akan membinasakan orang-orang yang menentangmu wahai Muhammad), tidakkah engkau perhatikan, bagaimana Tuhanmu telah melakukan terhadap kaum Aad (yang kufur derhaka)<br /><b>[7<a name="7"></a>]</b><br />Iaitu penduduk "Iram" yang mempunyai bangunan-bangunan yang tinggi tiangnya, (sesuai dengan penduduknya)<br /><b>[8<a name="8"></a>]</b><br />Yang belum pernah diciptakan sepertinya (tentang besar dan kukuhnya) di segala negeri (pada zamannya)?<br /><b>[9<a name="9"></a>]</b><br />Dan (terhadap) kaum Thamud yang memahat batu-batu besar di lembah (Wadil-Qura iaitu tempat tinggalnya)?<br /><b>[10<a name="10"></a>]</b><br />Dan (terhadap) Firaun yang menguasai bangunan-bangunan yang handal kukuh?<br /><b>[11<a name="11"></a>]</b><br />(Semuanya itu ialah) orang-orang yang telah bermaharajalela di negeri (masing-masing).<br /><b>[12<a name="12"></a>]</b><br />Lalu mereka melakukan dengan banyaknya kerosakan dan bencana di negeri-negeri itu.<br /><b>[13<a name="13"></a>]</b><br />Dengan yang demikian, Tuhanmu mencurahkan ke atas mereka berbagai paluan azab;<br /><b>[14<a name="14"></a>]</b><br />Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu tetap mengawas dan membalas, (terutama balasan akhirat)<br /><b>[15<a name="15"></a>]</b><br />(Dalam pada itu manusia tidak menghiraukan balasan akhirat), oleh yang demikian, maka kebanyakan manusia apabila diuji oleh Tuhannya dengan dimuliakan dan dimewahkan hidupnya, (ia tidak mahu bersyukur tetapi terus bersikap takbur) serta berkata dengan sombongnya: "Tuhanku telah memuliakan daku!"<br /><b>[16<a name="16"></a>]</b><br />Dan sebaliknya apabila ia diuji oleh Tuhannya, dengan disempitkan rezekinya, (ia tidak bersabar bahkan ia resah gelisah) serta merepek dengan katanya: "Tuhanku telah menghinakan daku!"<br /><b>[17<a name="17"></a>]</b><br />Jangan demikian, (sebenarnya kata-kata kamu itu salah).
