Celebrating Yahowah’s Teaching…
Father and Son are returning on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations in the Yowbel year of 6000 Yah. Do you know their names? Are you prepared to meet them? Do you know when, where, or why this will occur? Will you be there?
The author of the 1st Mizmowr | Psalm is issuing an invitation to those who want to celebrate with him. In the process, he is revealing insights which are cathartic, transformational, and profound. And he is positioned to do so because the lyricist is the Son of God, a naby’ | prophet of the first order, and ha Mashyach | the Messiah. He is the exemplar of Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God and of the Beryth | Covenant.
While that’s a stout beginning to a worthy résumé the opening chorus of his first Song reveals that what he has said and done is of benefit to those who disassociate from the rhetoric of the religious, platitudes of the political, and the confounding babble of the conspiratorial. Having done so personally, he not only knew the joy associated with being liberated from these controlling and degrading schemes, he was prepared to lead those answering his invitation to this same fortuitous place.
Therefore, the most extraordinary individual in human history is offering to walk with us along the straightforward and correct path that gives meaning to life, albeit with a caveat. There is a prerequisite because his invitation is only 2for those willing to forego the caustic and disorienting influence of religion, politics, and conspiracy. It is not a coincidence that this same condition serves as the Covenant’s lone prerequisite.
His guided tour away from mankind’s most pervasive schemes to enjoying Yahowah’s company is through the Towrah. And while towrah means “teaching,” this is not strictly an academic exercise. Our guide lived it, and to a greater extent than even Moseh | Moses who contributed to writing it.
Realizing that Moseh endured 40 years herding cantankerous and contentious Jews through the wilderness because they were too religious to enter the Promised Land, to claim that Dowd | the Beloved lived the Towrah to a greater extent than Moseh | the One who Draws Out is a revolutionary notion. But it is true, and he will prove it. And when you discover why, it will change your life.
Before we go there, however, a word about that other name – YaHoWaH. He just so happens to be ‘El | God. Despite what you may have been told, His name is readily known and easily pronounced just as is His ToWRaH. When He introduced Himself to Moseh, He revealed that His name was based upon the verb HaYaH which, when spoken in first person means “I exist.” Immediately thereafter, God answered Moseh’s question regarding His name by saying that he should tell the Children of Yisra’el that “YaHoWaH is My way of being known and recalled forevermore.”
If you are not yet among those who know His name, who accept it, and who use it, which would include everyone who is religious, then you are not currently part of His Beyth | Covenant Family. And, therefore, you are estranged from God. Should that be true for you, then you are going to want to pay especially close attention to what 3Dowd | David has to say regarding his invitation to walk with him and benefit from him along the path to Yahowah.
And now a word about our guide. His name is DoWD. It means “Beloved.” He and his Father, Yahowah, will demonstrate beyond any doubt that the author of this Mizmowr | Song deserves every accolade bequeathed to him. These include Ben ‘El | Son of God and ha Mashyach | the Messiah, in addition to Bakowr | Firstborn and Melek | King.
Turns out, he is also our yasha’ | savior. This distinction was earned during his second of three lives among his people. You, like many, are likely aware of some of what he accomplished as King of Israel. Considering how his legacy is discounted and misappropriated in religious circles, I suspect that there is much that you do not know about why Yahowah chose Dowd, why He anointed him three times, beginning at eight years of age, or why the Ruwach | Spirit enveloped him.
Dowd’s life, lyrics, and loves were tumultuous, cerebral and emotional, brilliant and dimwitted, courageous and cowardly. He was the man. He was every man. He was much more than a man.
Dowd’s return to endure Chag Matsah (which is comprised of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym) on behalf of his people in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah is boldly and irrefutably proclaimed throughout the Mizmowr wa Naby’ | Psalms and Prophets. And yet, fewer than one in a million people are aware of his heroic and altruistic Second Coming. And even then, knowing what he has done for us is less important than realizing why he volunteered to do so and how it was accomplished.
Admittedly, the clue Dowd has provided with the first word of his initial Song is far more subtle than I have been up to this point in this introduction. It is based upon 4‘ashery, a compound of ‘asher | to benefit from the relationship and ‘any | me. ‘Asher is among the most expressive words in the Hebrew lexicon. As a verb, noun, name, relational pronoun, particle, and conjunction, it speaks of being blessed and becoming joyous by receiving the benefits of the relationship. This occurs by walking along the correct path to living life to its fullest, ultimately standing safe and free.
Therefore, by including the first-person singular pronoun, ‘any | I, me, and my, with ‘asher, Dowd is revealing that we can travel along this path together to a more fulfilling and joyous existence while he shares the benefits with those who join him along the way.
As we read further into his initial pronouncement, we find ourselves being drawn away from religious rhetoric and political platitudes and then to Yahowah’s Towrah. Once there, we are encouraged to ponder its implications day and night. Collectively, that’s an amazing opening salvo from the most remarkable of men.
Here are the words Dowd scribed for our benefit…
“Joyful with me and blessed by me (‘ashery – fortunate in the relationship with me, stepping along the straightforward and correct path which gives meaning to life with me providing the proper place to stand and live as a benefit; a compound of ‘asher – to benefit relationally with ‘any – me) is the individual (ha ‘ysh) who, as a result of the relationship (‘asher – who is elated and favored through the association, taking the proper strides to live a productive and prosperous life, blessed by the benefits of striding along the correct path), does not walk (lo’ halak – he does not journey through life (qal perfect)) in the counsel of those who are religious and incorrect (ba ‘etsah rasha’ – in the advice of a con man advocating religious schemes through his rhetoric, in the criminal promotion of a revolting authority figure with a plan 5causing those who believe in it to be unjust, immoral, and condemned as guilty), does not stand (lo ‘amad – he is not present, does not engage, endure, or remain (qal perfect)) in the way (wa ba derek – in the path) of those who are misleading (chata’ – of those who should be ostracized for leading people astray and causing them to miss the way with their errant platitudes), neither sits or dwells (lo’ yashab – he neither is established or seated, neither inhabits nor settles down, remaining (qal perfect)) in the company (ba mowshab – in the place, congregation, or dwelling, in the seat or position of power of a ruling socio-religious influence) of those who babble, confounding by scoffing and ridiculing (lets – of those who presumptuously interpret and arrogantly deride, mock, and scorn, causing derision through contempt and jeering, arrogantly mouthing a rebellious interpretation). (Mizmowr 1:1)
Instead and by contrast (ky ‘im – however by contrast, genuinely and honestly), within the Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (ba Towrah – with the Instruction and Direction) of Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation) is what is valuable and matters to him (chephets huw’ – is his source of meaning, of being pleasing and accepted, such that it is pleasurable and pleasing to him).
And in His Towrah | Directions and Instructions (wa ba Towrah huw’ – and upon His Guidance and Teaching), he meditates, giving serious thought and consideration to the information so as to speak decisively (hagah – he reads and ponders, thinking intently, then decides and roars to remove what does not belong (qal imperfect)) day and night (yowm wa laylah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 1:2)
As we ponder the expansive implications of what we have just read, we find ourselves being called into Dowd’s 6company, to celebrate with him and benefit from him. While he has done all of the heavy lifting, we can walk alongside, appreciative of the role he has played in fulfilling the Miqra’ey | Invitations to Meet with God. This is how he is able to bless those who accompany him.
I am ‘ashery | overjoyed that Dowd began his literary love affair celebrating his relationship with Yahowah and His Towrah using the same word that brought us together twenty-two years ago as I tried to make sense of a prophecy found within 2 Samuel 7. As we have learned over the intervening time, ‘asher defines the proper path to the Covenant relationship while also expressing its purpose.
Those who are blessed by ‘asher in conjunction with Father and Son “enjoy the benefits of being part of the same Family. They are elated for having been favored through this association, having taken the proper strides to live a productive, prosperous, and joy-filled life.” ‘Asher is “the correct, albeit narrow and restrictive, straightforward path which leads to abundant life.” ‘Asher gives every aspect of our existence meaning. Those of us who, like Dowd | David, become God’s sons and daughters do so by making an ‘asher-like connection between Yahowah and His Towrah, literally walking to One directly through the other!
In his opening statement our Shepherd, Messiah, and King encouraged us to join him in walking away from religious advice, from being misled politically, and from being confused conspiratorially.
In Israel today, this requires every Israeli to be distinctly different. To walk alongside Dowd | David through the Towrah | Guidance to Yahowah, the religious must toss out their Talmud and Zohar, their depressing black outfits and ridiculous kippahs, silence their prayers and refrain from their rituals, disavowing all of their mitzvot and halakhah, and come clean. There isn’t a single 7rabbi or any member of the Haredi cult who knows Yahowah or who is part of the Covenant Family. And frankly, almost all are too marinated in religious rhetoric to recognize or accept the truth, even when offered by God.
Religious Jews embody the attitudes Yahowah finds the most despicable. They claim to represent Him and speak for Him when they are the most clueless about Him.
On the other side of the spectrum, Progressives in Israel are no less indoctrinated, ignorant, and irrational. The inverse of what they have been led to believe is most often true. Having forfeited the ability to be judgmental through a reasonable evaluation of the evidence, they have squandered any hope of walking alongside Dowd to Shamaym.
American Jews in Diaspora are similarly lost. One-third have denied their ethnicity, preferring to be known by their liberal politics. One-third play religious dress-up and live in an intellectual ghetto of their own making. In between, there is hope, albeit fading. For them, it is time to realize that race matters, in that it is a great honor to be a descendant of ‘Abraham, Yitschaq, and Ya’aqob, and a tremendous distinction to be related to Moseh and Dowd. However, for being Jewish to be beneficial, Judaism must be eliminated from this equation.
While those who are prepared to be harvested remain few, so long as those whom Yahowah is interested in knowing are willing to listen, our lives will have been well lived. It is for you that we translate and share, shining a light on the path Father and Son have provided to bring you home.
If you are not Yahuwd | Jewish, you are welcome to attend the party and are encouraged to read along as we explore what God revealed in His Towrah | Teaching and through His Naby’ | Prophets. His words will change your 8life, enlightening, enriching, and liberating your soul as you are brought into the Covenant Family.
Should you want to save the date, Father and Son will arrive in Yaruwshalaim at sunset, 6:22 PM, October 2nd, 2033. This is the Day of Reconciliations. The Covenant Family will be affirmed and restored.
Coming Home is a more recent addition to the series of books first published over twenty years ago. This journey of discovery began with exposing and condemning Islam in Prophet of Doom so that Jews might more successfully fight the terror the religion inspires. Next, I would compose Yada Yahowah, An Introduction to God, Questioning Paul, Observations, and then Babel, prior to returning to Coming Home – the ultimate conclusion of our work on behalf of Father and Son.
As I began translating Yahowah’s testimony from the Dead Sea Scrolls and sharing the insights derived from what He revealed, I considered myself irrelevant, and still do, but God does not. He has a lot to say about this endeavor and how you should respond to what you are reading. That said, every book I have written, 30 thus far, is offered free online and without royalty. So, it will cost you nothing, other than some time, to discover what I’ve learned about Yahowah and Dowd. And whatever time you invest in this journey from man’s world to God’s will be returned to you with dividends.
Jews have been conditioned to labor within the constraints of Jewish Law and pay their rabbis. It is a bankrupt equation. What Father and Son are offering is free for the accepting. Your choice.
By way of introduction, I am not a scholar or theologian, nor am I associated with any religious or political institution. And yet, I have devoted ten hours a day, six or seven days a week, over the past twenty-two years to exploring Yahowah’s revelations. I enjoy His 9company and benefit from what I am learning. And I share what I’ve discovered along the way in anticipation that those whom Yahowah is interested in knowing will learn the truth about Him, appreciate what He is offering and expects in return, and then respond appropriately. Everything you need to know to accompany the Son to the Father is contained within these pages.
And speaking of knowing, it is germane for you to be aware that it is especially meaningful that ha Mashyach began his first Song with a variation of ‘asher. As it relates to Yada Yahowah, it was in Shamuw’el | Listen to Him | 2 Samuel 7:11 where, in trying to correctly translate ‘asher, we were brought to the prophecy introducing Dowd | David as the Son of God and as our returning King. Quite literally, ‘asher, as the first word I translated, became the impetus for the five million words which would follow throughout Yada Yahowah. If not for ‘asher, Yada Yahowah would not exist.
As we commence, you will note that my translations are amplified, providing more pertinent information than you will find elsewhere. Additionally, I make a practice of including a transliteration of the most generic form of the Hebrew words underlying the text so that you can look them up and verify their meaning.
In light of what Dowd just revealed, at the beginning of his first Mizmowr, how is it possible that there are 4 billion Christians, Muslims, and religious Jews ignoring what he wrote? Dowd opened his prophetic repertoire by firing a broadside that blew right through the faithful’s keel, undermining Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad / Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. They all wrongly claim that the Psalms were inspired by their god. And yet, the Messiah and Son of God shattered everything they have written by saying that we ought not to walk in the counsel of those who are religious and misleading.
10The very Towrah they sought to annul, augment, and abrogate is advocated as the means to avoid the confounding ridicule of the religious by the man closest to God. Paul established Christianity by going to war against the Towrah. Akiba would misinterpret it at the onset of the Talmud. And Muhammad paid lip service to Dowd and the Psalms while contradicting both. As for which of the three has been more caustic to God’s people, we may have to wait until their trials when Yahowah judges and condemns all three men – along with a host of others.
Unwilling to listen to the God who created man in His image, these men created gods in their image and thereby failed those who believe them.
The first sentence in the first Psalm is a punch to the gut of the faithful. First: Do not walk in the counsel of someone who is religious and, thus, incorrect. Second: Do not stand with a person who is wrong and who leads people astray. Third: Do not sit or dwell in the company of an individual who babbles incoherently with their presumptuous interpretations and derisive ridicule. Fourth: After disassociating from such an individual or institution, desire and delight in Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching, giving His Towrah | Guidance serious thought and consideration day and night.
The man at the center of God’s plans centered his life on the Towrah. He pondered its implications and weighed its benefits so that his decisions were sound. We should do similarly.
These same recommendations serve as the initial conditions of the Covenant. We are asked to walk away from man’s influence and then come to trust and rely on Yahowah’s guidance. The Beloved’s inspired advice is the antithesis of what Rabbi Akiba, Paul, and Muhammad have promoted. So, we should acknowledge that Dowd began his soliloquy for God’s people by telling them what they 11would have to avoid and disavow to walk with Him through the Towrah to the Father.
Before we draw the obvious conclusion, it should be noted that “‘etsah – the deliberate counsel, advice, and determined purpose” speaks of a single individual, while those befuddled by him would be many, with “rasha’ – those who are religious and incorrect” presented in the plural form. Therefore, based upon these two words, we are dealing with a con man acting as an authority figure advocating a religious scheme which draws from a pagan past and causes those who believe him to be condemned.
Similarly, “derek – the way or path” exposes the methods of one individual while his victims, the “chata’ – those who are wrong and who have been led astray and have missed the way,” would be many. Then reinforcing the realization that this is addressing a particularly misleading and extremely influential individual who is negatively affecting the lives of all of those who allow themselves to be influenced by him, “mowshab – the place, company, and assembly that this religious authority” hails from, denotes a unique individual while those he causes to “lets – engage in confounding babble and deriding ridicule” are countless. Throughout this statement we are witnessing a single perpetrator with many victims.
Since this would be inclusive of all three religious founders, Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad, since they were all wrong, and because they were all arrogant and derisive, there is no reason to choose the most Towrah adverse. Avoid them all for the sake of your soul.
Yahowah chose Dowd to lead His people in the past and has chosen him to reestablish his kingdom in the future, because Dowd was Towrah-observant. And that made Dowd tsadaq | right. His second advent was his choice – something which will become evident in due time.
12Regardless of whether you have placed your faith in Paul, Akiba, or Muhammad, in a conspiracy advocating reptilian overlords and government plots, or in political reformers and humanist philosophers, you have been offered reconciliatory advice. Focus on the enjoyable and thoughtful aspects of Yahowah’s Towrah if you’d like to spend your eternity with Yahowah and Dowd. Or you can retain an affinity for Akiba and continue his Diaspora. While it’s not recommended, many have chosen to follow the example of a rapist and pedophile, the mass-murdering and demon-possessed terrorist of Islam into Hell. Billions also prefer the jaundiced rhetoric of the Plague of Death. Following Sha’uwl | Paul into She’owl | Hell, they will become personally acquainted with the thorn in his side. The choice is yours.
Considering Dowd’s standing with God, it is hard to explain why so many billions favor the Talmud, New Testament, and Quran over the Towrah. Why is it that the majority of people chase after false gods by romping through man’s religious rubbish? Why do so many Jews, Christians, and Muslims claim that the Towrah was inspired by God and yet ignore it or abrogate it entirely?
Dowd didn’t, and if you want to be with him, accept his advice. Of the Towrah-observant, he said…
“Then (wa) he is like (hayah ka – he is during that time comparable to (qal perfect)) a tree (‘ets) planted (shathal – transplanted, rooted, and flourishing) near (‘al – close to) an idyllic stream of flowing water (peleg maym – the outpouring of the perfect amount of water through a channel cut open to the ideal size to cultivate plants and bring prosperity by way of a marvelous and wonderful supply of the source of life and cleansing) such that as a result of this beneficial relationship (‘asher – to reveal the straightforward and correct path to get the most out of life) he produces and bestows (nathan – he yields and gives (qal imperfect)) his fruit (pery huw’ – the 13result of what he produces, his harvest and descendants) in his appointed time (ba ‘eth huw’ – in the right season and proper occasion for him; from ‘ad – into perpetuity, continuously forevermore).
His uplifting branches (wa ‘aleh huw’ – his secondary extensions which grow up from the trunk of the tree and leaf out) will never wither and he will never lack understanding (lo’ nabel – will not shrivel up or lose their vitality, will never be played for a fool or be held in contempt, he will never tire or become weary, will never lose heart or be concerned regardless of the circumstances, because he will never be stupid and will always have the capacity to comprehend and understand (qal imperfect)).
In everything that he engages in (wa kol ‘asah – with all he does, acts upon, and carries out, in the totality of his undertakings, considerable efforts, endeavors, and labor (qal imperfect)) to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher – to bless by revealing the proper and straight path to walk to give life meaning) he will succeed and prosper (tsalach – he will successfully accomplish the mission, he will be useful and thrive, he will win the argument and be acquitted, emerging correct and victorious (hifil imperfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 1:3)
Life is best lived when our souls are rooted in Yahowah’s Towrah. In this way, we are fruitful and grow.
The phrase “as a result of this beneficial relationship and to reveal the straightforward and correct path to get the most out of life (‘asher) he produces and bestows (nathan) his fruit, the result of what he has produced (pery huw’) in his appointed time (ba ‘eth huw’)” provides another subtle hint for us to appreciate what Dowd has done. At the appointed time, he fulfilled Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym, leading to Shabuw’ah and enabling Taruw’ah. Soon, he will return to honor the 14promise of Kipurym, reconciling those who want to camp out with Yahowah during Sukah.
Just as ‘Adam was instructed to work in ‘Eden and Dowd was asked to plant Tsyown’s vineyard, so too we are encouraged to be fruitful and productive – to till the soil so that it is receptive, to pull the weeds that would choke out the desirable vegetation, to prune the vines so that they are healthy and strong. We should always be cognizant of the importance of removing invasive species so that the good vines have unfettered access to the light.
It is among Yahowah’s favorite metaphors, going right back to the beginning of time with the fruitful and special trees growing in the Garden and the four streams flowing out of it. Those who make these connections will never lack understanding.
Lo’ nabel is wholly consistent with many of our own personal experiences. For example, every time I have ventured forth to convey the Word of God, and that would include ten thousand radio interviews, I have never been concerned, much less afraid or rattled, and have never been played for a fool or been held in contempt. I have prevailed with every argument made on behalf of Yahowah, no matter the foe or subject. And there is but one reason: the understanding I’ve derived from observing the Towrah. Its Teaching and Guidance is the most powerful and compelling force in the universe. Yahowah’s Towrah enables us to succeed and prosper in everything that actually matters.
The most uplifting branch in the Tree of Lives is Dowd. Those who avail themselves of his life and lyrics are prepared for whatever life brings their way.
“This is not so (lo’ ken – it is not true, nor even remotely similar) with those who are incorrect (ha rasha’ – the invalid and unrighteous who are wrong about and opposed to the standard, the wicked and immoral con men 15and criminals who will be condemned for leading others astray and for misrepresenting God’s character), but who rather instead are like (ky ‘im ka) the chaff (ha mots – the useless and dried husks) which is driven away (‘asher nadaph huw’ – and which for the benefit of the relationship is refuted) by the spirit (ruwach – by the wind).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 1:4)
Have you ever considered grain, such as wheat, and how tiny the edible seed, or kernel, is compared to the roots (which descend six feet), shoots (up to 35 per plant), leaves (averaging 15 per shoot), and husks? And yet, most of the plant withers up and dies, only to rot in the soil or be blown away by the winds. This then provides a frame of reference, at least for Yisra’el, on the proportion of harvested souls versus those who have been misled and discarded. And it’s a thousand times worse for the gowym.
As an interesting tidbit, all wheat planted by men have six copies of seven chromosomes, matching the number God assigned to the men who genetically altered them. Also interesting, upon threshing, the chaff breaks up, releasing the fruit. Grain is like wine and olive oil in the sense that the fruit must be crushed to be productive.
We have two options, both valid, regarding the identity of the ruwach driving the chaff away. Initially, they are misled by the spirit of the Adversary. And then, they are blown away by Yahowah’s Ruwach so that eternity is free of them.
Thank God, Dowd is blunt. Yahowah found a man who wasn’t afraid to tell the truth, no matter whose feelings were hurt or whose faith was impugned in the process. Those who are wrong about God will not stand during Judgment. They will bow down before God and the Children of Yisra’el. It is only those who, like Dowd and Moseh, are Towrah-observant and affirming, who, as a result, will stand upright, correct, and vindicated before 16Yahowah. It is poetic justice: those who deemed others less worthy will in the end bow before those they offended.
“Therefore (‘al ken – based upon this reasoning, it is true that), those who are incorrect (ha rasha’ – the invalid and unrighteous who are wrong about and opposed to the standard, the wicked and immoral con-men and criminals who will be condemned for leading others astray and for misrepresenting God’s character) will not stand upright (lo’ quwm – will not be upright, rise up, be confirmed, or restored (qal imperfect)) during the judgment (ba ha mishpat – when justice is administered, during the time disputes are resolved, when good judgment is practiced) nor (wa) those who are wrong (chata’ – those who are culpable and will be condemned for leading people astray and who have missed the way) in the enduring community of witnesses (ba ‘edah – in the gathering together of those who always remember the agreement and testify affirmatively regarding it) of those who are upright, correct, and vindicated (tsadyq – righteous, just, right, in accord with the standard, acquitted, and innocent).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 1:5)
The phrase ba ha mishpat, which was translated as “during the judgment” is interesting because mishpat is a compound of my – to ponder the implications of shaphat – making informed and rational decisions and executing good judgment. It addresses the idea of deciding wisely when dealing with the means to resolve disputes. This, in turn, points us to the Miqra’ey which is when vindication is achieved.
Yahowah’s Covenant Family is being addressed as “‘edah tsadyq – the enduring community of correct witnesses.” It is the fruit of the tree nourished by the teaching and guidance which flows out of the Towrah. It is our highest calling. There is no job more rewarding or beneficial.
17Although the overwhelming majority of people will not only dismiss what we say on behalf of Yahowah, they will seek to bury the truth, and those who share it, under a barrage of false propositions and slanderous delusions. And yet, there are few things more courageous or compassionate, more liberating or uplifting, than pointing out all that is “chata’ – misleading and wrong” with man’s most popular myths, just as there is tremendous satisfaction in knowing what is right and in sharing that which is valid and vindicating. It is not only the right thing to do; when we are approached by that special individual who is open to the truth, who wants to listen and learn, we contribute to Yahowah’s Family and enrich eternity, for ourselves, for the new Covenant member, and for our Heavenly Father.
Beyond this, Dowd has answered a question I’ve long pondered concerning a request I’ve made of Yah since the moment I came to expose and thus despise Muhammad and then Paul, Vespasian and then Hadrian, Akiba, Constantine, and Theodosius, Pope Pius XII and his Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. I not only want to be at their trials during this Day of Judgment, but based upon what I’ve discovered about them, I’d like to serve as a prosecution witness. And now, after translating these lyrics, I realize I didn’t need to ask for permission or make the request because Dowd provided Yahowah’s answer in this, the first Mizmowr | Psalm. Those of us who have engaged in the Covenant will not only be there standing with God, as these exceedingly evil people bow down in judgment, we will serve as witnesses.
Yahowah and His assemblage of spiritual messengers do not need our help and could expose and condemn these men without our testimony – but it wouldn’t be in God’s nature. He prefers to work with us and through us, including us in whatever He does. And I for one would like to contribute and hold them all accountable for the countless souls they have led astray and crushed. It is what 18Yahowah has done throughout His Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms. It is what Dowd is doing. They have set the example we should strive to emulate.
What follows reaffirms something else we have learned: Yahowah knows His children, and other than those bowing in judgment, He has no interest in the rest of humanity.
“Indeed because (ky) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration) knows (yada’ – recognizes and acknowledges, is aware of and respects, is familiar with and is concerned about, understands and is very friendly with (qal participle)) the way (derek – the manner and journey) of those who are upright, correct, and vindicated (tsadyq – righteous, just, right, in accord with the standard, acquitted, and innocent), but (wa) those whose path is incorrect (derek rasha’ – those whose way is invalid and opposed to the standard, whose journey leads others astray) will perish (‘abad – will be blotted out and destroyed, exterminated and annihilated, vanishing and ceasing to exist, squandered and expelled).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 1:6)
If you want to be “yada’ – known” by God, be “tsadyq – right” regarding God. And the only way to do that is to disassociate from those who are “rasha’ – wrong” and “hagah – meditate upon, giving serious thought and consideration to the information” contained in Yahowah’s Towrah.
Today in Israel, in an article published by a Haredi newspaper, the religious were told that if they attend a rally in support of judicial reform that they will be excluded from the house of God. It wasn’t because they oppose judicial reform but, instead, because only rabbis are authorized to engage in politics due to their superior 19learning. They are saying that there will be no expressions of freewill tolerated in Judaism because Ultra-Orthodox Jews are too stupid to think for themselves. The depravity of religious control boggles the mind. Rabbis will be fortunate if their souls are allowed to perish. If so authorized, I’d send them to She’owl.
Speaking of ‘abad | perishing, there is a little-known and profoundly important aspect of Divine Judgment that few appreciate. Most souls ‘abad | cease to exist upon a person’s mortality. There is no reward and no punishment. The nepesh | soul simply fades into oblivion. It is only by deliberately misleading others regarding Yahowah that a soul earns a one-way ticket to She’owl | Hell.
And here, my friends, is a summation of the 1st Mizmowr.
“Joyful with me and blessed by me, fortunate in the relationship and stepping along the straightforward path which I have provided to give meaning to life (‘ashery) is the individual (ha ‘ysh) who, as a result of the relationship (‘asher), does not walk (lo’ halak) in the counsel of those who are religious and incorrect (ba ‘etsah rasha’), does not stand (lo ‘amad) in the way (wa ba derek) of those who are misleading with their errant platitudes (chata’), neither sits nor dwells (lo’ yashab) in the company (ba mowshab) of those who babble, confounding by scoffing and ridiculing (lets). (Mizmowr 1:1)
Instead and by contrast (ky ‘im) within the Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (ba Towrah) of Yahowah (Yahowah) is what is valuable and matters to him (chephets huw’).
And in His Towrah | Directions and Instructions (wa ba Towrah huw’), he meditates, giving serious thought and consideration to the information so as to 20speak decisively (hagah) day and night (yowm wa laylah). (Mizmowr 1:2)
Then (wa) he is like (hayah ka) a tree (‘ets) planted (shathal) near (‘al) an idyllic stream of flowing water (peleg maym) such that as a result of this beneficial relationship (‘asher) he produces and bestows (nathan) his fruit (pery huw’) in his appointed time (ba ‘eth huw’).
His uplifting branch (wa ‘aleh huw’) will never wither and he will never lack understanding (lo’ nabel). In everything that he engages in (wa kol ‘asah) to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) he will succeed and prosper (tsalach). (Mizmowr 1:3)
This is not true, nor even remotely similar (lo’ ken), with those who are incorrect, with those who will be condemned for leading others astray and for misrepresenting God’s character (ha rasha’) who, rather instead, will be like (ky ‘im ka) the chaff which is driven away and refuted (‘asher nadaph huw’) by the spirit (ruwach). (Mizmowr 1:4)
Therefore, based upon this reasoning (‘al ken), those who are incorrect, misled, and misleading (ha rasha’) will not stand upright (lo’ quwm) during the judgment (ba ha mishpat) nor (wa) those who are wrong (chata’) in the enduring community of witnesses (ba ‘edah) of those who are upright, correct, and vindicated (tsadyq). (Mizmowr 1:5)
Indeed because (ky) Yahowah (Yahowah) knows (yada’) the way (derek) of those who are upright, correct, and vindicated (tsadyq), but (wa) those whose path is incorrect (derek rasha’) will perish (‘abad).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 1:6)
Those who observe and accept Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching and Guidance are right, blessed with knowledge and understanding, joyful and productive, validated and 21vindicated, always correct on the issues which matter most, especially those regarding life or death. Those who believe man’s mantras, whether they be political or religious, conspiratorial or militaristic, will remain confounded and confused. They will be judged and found to be wrong, exterminated and expelled.
Yisra’el, there is every reason to conclude that you are smart, with 0.2% of the world’s population earning 30% of Nobel Prizes in the sciences. So how is it that you have collectively been on the wrong side of this simple equation for the past three thousand years? Why is it that when Yahowah wanted someone to take His testimony seriously and then share it accurately and insightfully with you, He couldn’t find a single Yahuwd willing to step up and had to stoop to working with a gowy?
Sometimes, I am guided to things that, while always available and true, are perfect at the moment. The first word in the first Psalm was a noteworthy example. But so is this next sentence, the first of the second Mizmowr.
Inexplicitly, and frustratingly, there is a greater propensity for people to believe in conspiracies today than there is to be overtly religious or political. The numbers are staggering, with the majority of people worldwide snookered by one hoax or another. For most, the lure of conspiracy is simple: people are looking for someone to blame for their unfulfilling lives.
The conspiratorial menace has grown so large and vocal that numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine what prompts so many people to believe in and promote absurdly ridiculous notions. And what they have found is that there is but a single, common 22denominator among conspiratorialists. It isn’t age, politics, ethnicity, nationality, or religion, but instead, they are all losers. Unwilling to accept responsibility for their unsatisfactory and empty existence, they fault those deemed successful for controlling and inhibiting them.
The most enduring and popular conspiracies, indeed the most deadly and delusional, purport that Jews control the world to the detriment of everyone else. For example, as I was writing the initial draft of this chapter, a nineteen-year-old white supremacist and Christian, John Earnest, a member of the Escondido Presbyterian Church outside San Diego, murdered an unarmed elderly Jewish woman. He attempted to kill her rabbi and then annihilate his entire congregation at the Chabad synagogue in Poway, California, at the conclusion of Passover. While this worthless individual is just one among billions of anti-Semites, since his “Open Letter” comprises so many of the lies that have been used to falsely slander Jews, it may be helpful to present his parting manifesto, so that we are cognizant of the sickness pervading our world. We will do so after the conclusion of the Mizmowr and in a subsequent chapter.
While most conspiracy theorists are sufficiently anti-Semitic to endorse even the most obvious hoaxes, such as Protocols of the Elders of Zion, they now use social media to promote an ever growing and ever more ridiculous array of control fantasies. These include the absurd and discredited notion that the government wanted a justification to expand the military-industrial complex, so the elite perpetrated 9/11 and blamed Muslims. The conspiratorialist would have us believe that the government wants to control the population, so the cabal had their evil scientists engineer GMO foods, vaccines, fluoridated water, and chemtrails to poison everyone, including themselves, I suppose.
23They allege that the empowered, in their zeal to confiscate guns from the citizenry, deployed political actors to stage all of the mass shootings and bombings at schools, nightclubs, marathon races, and concerts. Then they say, because the empowered are different from the rest of us, elitists like Hillary Clinton turned the basement of a Washington area pizzeria into a child slavery and sex ring.
There are even hundreds of millions who believe that the world’s leading politicians are actually alien reptilian overlords. There are a surprising number who are convinced the earth is flat and just 6,000 years old. Many believe that the moon landings were faked and yet believe in UFOs. Others believe that there is a mirror Earth, or Planet X, on the other side of the sun. There are those who deny the very existence of Yisra’elites, suggesting that the race is long extinct. These same individuals then weave a web of lies to infer that they are the new Israel in a contemporary reenactment of the conspiracy of Replacement Theology. There is even a Hebrew Roots Movement and Black Hebrew Israelites where those of sub-Saharan African descent claim to be Yahuwdym. To hell with Yahowah’s testimony and DNA; they prefer to be beguiled and anti-Semitic.
Yahowah wouldn’t waste a moment on these wasted lives if it were not for three issues, all of which involve His people. First, the most prevalent and destructive conspiracy has been and remains “Blame the Jews.” Paul originated and popularized the religious rendition of this game, and Rome played it diabolically and destructively. The Catholic Church has perpetrated the longest-running, most pervasive, and pathetic version, going so far as to say that Jews, not Romans, killed their god.
Of course, Islamic Jihadists have committed the deadliest and most insane interpretation of “Blame the Jews.” The Third Reich even managed to accuse Jews of the deplorable conditions imposed on the nation after 24losing the First World War. They promoted the most sadistic application of this twisted scenario all the way to the Final Solution.
“Blame the Jews” has been played out in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Greece with their pogroms. Christianity fostered the menace in Europe, England and the Americas, and Islam carried the torch throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It is promoted in academia today in lockstep with the myth of Palestine and a Palestinian people. And now it is rampant on the internet, flourishing worldwide in the artificial realm of social media.
Based upon all we have learned, based upon the harm it has caused, based upon the nature of the perpetrators, there is nothing on the planet God despises more than anti-Semitic conspiracies. They lie in the crosshairs of Yahowah’s most basic warning: “I will discredit those who harass you.”
Second, conspiracies comprise the worst form of babel. Their proponents not only ignore obvious and provable explanations, rejecting that which is valid and verifiable, they commingle all manner of deceptions, suggesting that the truth is found in a concoction of lies. They slander everyone who proves that they are ridiculous while reinforcing their mythology by snickering among themselves. They are universally less receptive to evidence and reason than the most religious or political devotees.
By clinging to such ridiculous babel, the conspiratorialists are prohibited from participating in the Covenant. And by misleading hundreds, thousands, millions, and billions, they set themselves up to be judged and condemned, sentenced to She’owl. Anything capable of debilitating billions of souls, squandering their opportunity to understand, is worthy of God’s righteous indignation.
25Third, promoting inane interpretations of readily explainable events under the title “Truthers” has a tendency to repel thoughtful individuals while ensnaring fellow morons. And while idiots are easy to manipulate, the narcissists who stir the conspiracy pot, desperately seek the kind of validation continents full of numbskulls cannot provide. So, to give them the credibility needed to attract and hold ever more devotees, they need to mix their lies with enough truth to make the self-proclaimed saviors appear believable.
And since nothing has ever been as credible as Yahowah’s words, they are used as a veneer to glue the chaff of conspiracy together such that it will fool enough fools for the foolish to have a following. This is the secret to the success of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology, and even Western Democracies. It is also found interwoven amongst all of the conspiracies promoted today.
This isn’t a remote or isolated problem. Conspiracy sites have latched on to my translations, transliterations, and insights, and have claimed them as their own – as if they wrote them. Then, after using them to draw in those actually searching for the meaning of life, they take the unsuspecting into its darkest and most twisted hole. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have been led to question these translations of Yahowah’s words, even reject them, not on their merits but, instead, based upon their incorporation into social media sites promoting the most absurd conspiracies. Worse, the gaggle of goons on these sites call themselves “Covenant,” they use Yahowah’s name, and weave insights that are known only through these books, through their texts and threads. And they are rude, abusive, arrogant, delusional, and obnoxious – always picking fights.
If there were hundreds of sites and audio programs devoted to accurately translating Yahowah’s words and 26freely sharing the insights derived from them, this problem would be less catastrophic, but because they are few, and most are errantly related to these translations, the conspiratorialists have enraged the One calling His people home. He is so angry He even predicted their contrarian influence by derogatorily referring to them.
Dowd begins with: “wa luwz derek huw’ bazah huw’ – and so, the devious nut who misleads and perverts in his despicable manner and ways disrespects and belittles Him, plundering the people by showing contempt while despising Him.” (Mashal / Word Pictures / Proverb 14:2) This is followed by: “ba peh ‘ewyl choter ga’awah – in the mouth of the foolish simpletons devoid of understanding, the quarrelsome, stubborn, stupid, and shameless there is a haughty and glorified insignificant twig, a sucker, which will arise.” (Mashal / Word Pictures / Proverb 14:3)
These trolls permeate social media and the internet, infecting tens of millions with their videos, tweets, texts, and posts.
These things known, this is Dowd’s warning…
“For what reason (la mah – why, toward what end and for what purpose one should ask) do noisy and confused throngs of scheming and rebellious Gentiles gather together to conspire in open defiance (ragash gowym – do vociferous and disorderly crowds of restless religious, political, and militant ethnicities and countries estranged from Yisra’el rise up vehemently to hastily agitate in fellowship with one another, with races attempting to be noticed and gain attention through their perceived and contrived plots, erupting like an open wound, swirling around and churning things up for the moment, creating a disturbing tumultuous commotion as part of an unrestrained cult of worshipers for a time by 27hurriedly conceiving and promoting clandestine conspiracies)?
The people of these nations who are transformed while massing under an antiquated and unifying religious, political, and conspiratorial leader (wa la’om – these groups who associate and gather together under an individual who changes them in some way as a result of primitive and arcane concepts) choose to plot and speak (hagah – are driven away by their choices and utterances, having wrongly decided after selectively searching, muttering their musings aloud along with their imagined grievances and intra-personal beliefs, all formed after giving considerable attention to selective information to scheme to remove the people who are the focus of their complaint (qal imperfect jussive – continually and literally doing so on their own initiative)) in vain, deluded in their fantasies (ryq – by promoting their unreal claims and worthless myths for absolutely no reason, having drawn their weapons as paid warriors without benefit, without an actual reason or cause while revealing their unfulfilling and empty lives and dissatisfaction with their situation, these uninhibited scoundrels brandish idle plans, puffery and dreams, and attack to their disadvantage).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 2:1)
This is prophetic of our day when conspiracies, especially those which inappropriately impugn Jews, are so prolific, they are woven into the fabric of the human psyche. When the opposite of what is true becomes widely accepted, we find God asking His creation why they are promoting such stupid notions. What is the end game? What is the purpose? What is to be gained by these “ragash gowym – noisy and confused throngs of unrestrained, scheming, and rebellious Gentiles conspiring together in open defiance such that as a cult they have become wholly unreceptive to the truth?” They have become akin to zombies, in that they, like the mindless walking dead, have 28nothing to live for except to prey on those they have not yet infected.
Late in volume two of Observations, we searched out and found the meaning of la’om which was deployed perfectly in this context to depict the lives of the conspiratorialists who have been transformed by the antiquated political, religious, and racist propaganda of a conspiratorial leader. It reflects their inclination to group together to reinforce the primitive myths that they are perpetuating.
God, Himself, refers to conspiracy as rebellion. He acknowledges that conspiracy is comprised of delusional fantasies and are worthless vanity. And yet, this counterproductive enterprise will become so popular, it will affect most Gentiles and their nations. For those who claim to be Covenant, while at the same time claiming that conspiracies are true, be aware that according to God they would be wrong on both accounts.
Conspiracy is just another religion, another poisonous political perspective. There is no reason whatsoever to believe any of them and an overwhelming reason to refrain from promoting them.
It is interesting to note that while hagah is often used to refer to “the conspiratorial plots originating in the hearts and minds of wicked men, those who then give expression to their deceitful conspiracies by lying about them,” the word is used in both Yasha’yah | Isaiah (16:7) and Yirma’yah | Jeremiah (59:1) to express the imagined grievances and intra-personal beliefs associated with the Judgment of the modern manifestations of Mow’ab, resulting in the decision to drive them out of the Land before exterminating them. Earlier in Yasha’yah (8:19), hagah is associated with the conspiratorial musings of those in concert with the Adversary. But it also has a positive side, with Yahowah using it to encourage His 29people to ponder the proper response so as to communicate intelligently.
Here hagah is used to say that the proponents of conspiracies are “wrong.” God is revealing that the conspiratorialists are “driven away as a result of their imagined grievances and intra-personal beliefs.” He even affirms that anyone seeking to debunk these myths quickly discovers that those “prone to believe” conspiracies are victims of “selective information,” meaning that they only consider sources, no matter how dubious, that reinforce their faith. Also telling, hagah suggests that the actual purpose of their conspiracies is “to remove and expel the people who are the focus of their complaint.” God is thereby impugning the purpose of the mother of all conspiracies, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Raq, the final word in this prophetic announcement, is used in two Mashal | Proverbs (12:11 and 28:19) to say, “He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows the vain is void of understanding and will never be satisfied.” Raq is from ruwq, which speaks of “being emptied out and unfulfilled, never satisfied, malnourished and impoverished.
Raq is also found in Yasha’yah 29:8 to convey, “It shall come to be as when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats, but when awakened his soul is empty and unsatisfied…so shall the multitude of all of the Gentiles and their nations be when they fight against Mount Tsyown and the Signs Posted Along the Way.”
Modern research into the growth of conspiracies has found this very thing, calling a lack of personal satisfaction with one’s life and a sense of living an empty and unfulfilling, even impoverished existence, the lone common denominator among those who believe and advocate conspiracies. It’s wonderful when God reveals something in our distant past, this time 3,000 years before 30scientists would affirm it. But let’s be clear since Yahowah has been so with us, with the use of raq we know that conspiracies are comprised of puffery and dreams, and advocating conspiracies is counterproductive.
Without exception, every conspiracy man has invented and popularized is bogus. Once upon a time I had thought that there may have been a few that held some merit, only to learn that the alleged perpetrators were overly credited and that there was no one in charge over the years to perpetuate the plan. I also discovered that making the case for the conception and continuance of clandestine schemes was far too convoluted to warrant the effort. These theories require their advocates to be highly selective in the information they consider while disregarding all evidence to the contrary. And in the end, what does one achieve other than to say that men have a tendency to be conniving and controlling, deceitful and destructive.
It’s one thing to look into Adam Weishaupt, the Order of the Illuminati along with Freemasonry, and his plan to undermine the influence that the Roman Catholic Church held on European governments and conclude that his ideas played a role in the French and American revolutions. But to claim that a small clandestine group by whatever name pulls the levers which control the world and have done so continuously for the past 250 years under the auspices of the Rothschilds, the Illuminati, Freemasonry, the Round Table, Skull and Bones, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, Bohemian Grove, and the New World Order is ridiculous. The fact is, the mythology responsible for almost all of this is Christianity, and Christian fascination with the arrival of the “Antichrist.” Little do they know that he’s already been here and that he is responsible for Luke, Acts, and fourteen other New Testament Epistles.
Let’s consider the underlying text for this peculiar fascination: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Second 31only to Paul’s Epistles and the Book of Acts, it is the most notorious, widely distributed, and universally destructive anti-Semitic and conspiratorial text of all time. It was pure babel, plagiarized by Christians in Russia in 1903 out of two well-known books, neither of which even mentioned Jews. It was initially serialized in the Russian newspaper, Znamya | the Banner, then published two years later as an appendix to The Great in the Small: The Coming of the Anti-Christ and the Rule of Satan on Earth by the Christian author, Sergei Nilus. Its purpose was to spread Christian mass hatred of Jews by claiming that it provided actual documentation of the minutes taken to memorialize twenty-four meetings between Jewish rabbis, recording their secret plans as a race to rule the world by manipulating the economy, controlling the media, subverting the morals of Gentiles, and fostering religious conflict.
This commingling and twisting of books detailing European political and religious intrigue was originally thought to be nothing more than a parody conceived by changing the words to a popular song, such that the new lyrics degraded Jews during the time of the vicious anti-Jewish Pogroms in the Russian Empire – from which countless Jews died or were exiled. In fact, many of the same anti-Semites responsible for the mass abuse of Jews during the Pogroms played a role in the hoax of The Protocols to justify their actions. For this reason, Pavel Krushevan, the book’s initial publisher, deliberately obscured the origins of the text Sergei Nilus had composed to make the lies appear credible. But nonetheless, he left a wide trail of contradictions, each sufficient to properly assess credit and blame.
Just prior to this time, following the Partitions of Poland, the Russian Empire inherited the world’s largest Jewish population. In the Shtetls in which they lived, these Jewish refugees stayed to themselves, governed 32themselves, and took care of themselves. And while they willingly paid their taxes, acknowledged the authority of the Tsar, and served in the Imperial Russian Army, they had the misfortune of arriving in Russia when the ruling class became more hardline in its reactionary policies, promoting the ideas of Christian Orthodoxy, Tsarist Autocracy, and Russian Nationality. The Jews who attempted to assimilate were regarded with suspicion as infiltrators trying to take over the society, while Jews who remained true to their culture were resented as undesirable aliens. And it was out of this xenophobic anti-immigrant, political, and religious milieu that The Protocols were written by those who falsely projected their flawed character on those they despised. Those who actually engaged in racial genocide justified their bloodlust by blaming those they were killing of secretly wanting to be just like them.
It is stunning in a way. The Jewish people, who were blamed for trying to control the world, had no country to call their own. They had just been pushed out of Poland only to enter Russia where they were terrorized. In a matter of decades, they would be gassed and incinerated by the millions in concentration camps throughout Poland and Germany. The impoverished were mistreated by those who sought to rule the world politically and religiously, such that their race, Russian or German, Arab or Japanese, Italian or Spanish, would reign supreme. And therein lies the revolting heart of all conspiratorialists. Those who promote them are guilty of the crimes they falsely project on others.
That is not to say that Jews were entirely innocent. One Jew in particular went out of his way to harm his people, serving as a modern-day Paul. The idea of an international Jewish conspiracy for world domination was actually minted sixty years earlier by Jacob Brafman, a Russian Jew from Minsk. He claimed to have had a falling out with 33agents of a local Qahal, the autonomous government of Ashkenazi Jews, even though it had been abolished twenty years earlier. After converting to the Russian Orthodox Church, he authored polemics against the Talmud and the extinct Qahals, falsely claiming that they not only continued to exist but that they met in secret to undermine Christian entrepreneurs such that they could confiscate their property and seize their power. He would write, The Local and Universal Jewish Brotherhoods and The Book of the Qahal. While mostly a projection of his new Russian Orthodoxy, Brafman’s fanciful conspiracy of international Jewish shadow governments was used to justify the Pogroms. During this same period, a British subject of Dutch-Jewish ethnicity, wrote Conquest of the World by the Jews. This troubled soul served in the Ottoman Army and converted to Islam.
As with both of these men, as was the case with the Russians and Prussians behind The Protocols, it was all about scapegoating, about blaming someone other than themselves for our problems. The Russians blamed Jews for losing the Russo-Japanese War and the 1905 Revolution, just as Germans blamed Jews for losing the First World War. And then after the Tsarists lost the 1917 Russian Revolution, Jews were once again blamed, with The Protocols becoming a political weapon wielded by conservatives the world over against liberals. The Bolshevik Communists were falsely depicted as overwhelmingly Jewish, executing the plan presented in The Protocols.
Paradoxically, the early Russian edition of The Protocols specifically acknowledges that they did not come from a Zionist organization – the absolute opposite of what was later claimed of it. Later editions would claim that the document, which was never produced, was stolen from a secret Jewish organization and, yet, a living contradiction, it was written in the first-person plural, as if 34the plotters were telling their own story in their own words. But even then, The Protocols are awash in generalizations and platitudes and completely devoid of specifics – lacking anything a rational person could use to fact-check the story.
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, this purported Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world was brought to the West by anti-Bolshevik / anti-Communist Christians and circulated across Europe, the United States, South America, Japan, and of course, the Islamic Middle East. It was immediately popularized in America by the automaker, Henry Ford, who in 1920 published a series of articles based on The Protocols in his Detroit newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, and then paid for, printed, and distributed half a million copies under the title: The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem. Not surprisingly, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, who claimed that The Protocols were factual, were lavish in their praise of Ford.
But the paradigm of Capitalism did not work alone. It had help slandering Jews in the form of Father Coughlin, the Roman Catholic priest who was the first to use radio to reach a mass audience. He routinely entertained his 30 million listeners with his pro-fascist and Anti-Semitic rhetoric and called for the nationalization of all major industries and the end of democracy and capitalism. He also called for the abolition of political parties and elections. He went from being one of FDR’s most outspoken advocates, telling a Congressional hearing, “God is directing President Roosevelt,” to being one of his biggest critics over monetary policy, advocating the nationalization of the Federal Reserve. The Roman Catholic’s political advocacy organization, Social Justice, published weekly installments of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
A year after Henry Ford’s publications in America in 1921, The London Times presented conclusive proof that 35The Protocols was nothing more than “clumsy plagiarism.” Allen Dulles, who was in Constantinople developing relationships with the post-Ottoman Turks, actually reported the source from which it was plagiarized to The Times, and would later, without success, lobby the US State Department to publicly denounce the forgery.
They confirmed that it had been copied indirectly from a French political satire that never even mentioned Jews – Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly, a French attorney, in 1868. That in itself is interesting because Machiavelli wrote The Prince to increase the political and religious authority of the Roman Catholic Church and to concentrate absolute power under a single individual, the Pope. He encouraged popes to be ruthless tyrants, totally merciless because the fear of terrorist tactics would cause people to submit to their authority and, according to Machiavelli, the end result justifies the means used to achieve it. The sole intent of The Prince was to establish Roman Catholic domination over the Earth, not Jewish influence. Further, Montesquieu’s position was just the opposite. He was a French philosopher who popularized the idea of separating governmental authority so that it was not concentrated under a single individual. The United States Constitution was influenced by his philosophy, as it gave rise to the shared powers of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government.
Therefore, the fictional religious and political satire from which The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was plagiarized, was actually written in protest of the regime of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte who ruled France from 1848 through 1870. The ghost of Montesquieu made the case for freedom while the ghost of Machiavelli opined for despotism. The spirit of Machiavelli would claim he “wouldn’t even need twenty years to utterly transform the most indomitable European character and render it as 36docile under tyranny as the debased people of Asia [addressing the Islamic kingdoms of the Middle East].” But Montesquieu insisted that the people’s desire for freedom was invincible. Over the course of twenty-five dialogues, step by step, Machiavelli, who in Joly’s plot covertly represented Napoleon, explains how he would replace freedom with despotism in any given European country. He states: “Absolute power will no longer be an accident of fortune but will become a need” of the modern society. Recognizing that Machiavelli would prevail on behalf of a unified and draconian church and state, with the Roman Catholic Church dominating the world, the secular Montesquieu laments in the end, “Eternal God, what have you permitted!” Joly, for having exposed the menace of church and state, was arrested and jailed for eighteen months in the Sainte-Pelagie Prison in Paris and his book was banned.
The Protocols 1-19 closely follow the order of Maurice Joly’s Dialogues 1-17, with identifiable phrases from Joly peppering the Anti-Semitic farce. And as an interesting aside, Joly, a monarchist and legitimist (a proponent of royalty and dynastic succession), actually plagiarized much of his Dialogue in Hell from a novel by Eugene Sue, Les Mysteres du Peuple.
The initial transformation into an anti-Semitic text was accomplished in the Prussian novel by Hermann Goedsche, called, Biarritz – To Sedan, which was published in 1868. Goedsche, an anti-Semitic postal worker, was an agent provocateur for the Prussian Secret Police. In 1849 he had been convicted of forging letters which were used as evidence to frame democratic leaders. Losing his job at the post office, Goedsche began working as a conservative columnist for the Neuen Preubischen Zeitung newspaper along with notables such as Otto von Bismarck, soon thereafter traveling to Turkey before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. His leisure time was consumed writing 37romance novels with a political bent under the pen name Sir John Retcliffe, typically attacking either Jews or the British government. Then in 1868, Goedsche plagiarized and bastardized Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, by replacing Machiavelli’s Roman Catholic conspiratorial despot debating a secular libertarian with the fictional “Elders of Zion.” Beyond substituting names, he added the chapter, At the Jewish Cemetery in Prague, wherein a “secret rabbinical cabal, the Council of Representatives of The Twelve Tribes of Israel (unaware of the fact that all but two of the twelve tribes remained lost after the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom)” conducted one of their centennial meetings at midnight in the cemetery in which the Devil was said to have played a starring role. This work of complete fiction alleges to report on the progress of the long-term rabbinical conspiracy to establish world domination. In addition to the Machiavellian schemes, Goedsche added acquisition of property, transforming craftsmen into industrial workers, infiltration into high public offices, and control of the press, such that, according to “Chairman Levit,” fellow rabbis would become “kings of the world in one hundred years.”
The fictional rabbinical speech was frequently quoted as if it were an authentic episode and cited as proof of the authenticity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. But even here, like Satan himself, Goedsche borrowed heavily from a scene in the French portrayal of the life of Count Alessandro Cagliostro, whose alias, Giuseppe Balsamo, became the title of the book by Alexandre Dumas. This rather infamous Italian, who died in 1795, was an occultist, psychic, alchemist, healer, and magician. Count Alessandro Cagliostro, a.k.a., Giuseppe Balsamo, became one of several central players in the days leading to the French Revolution as a result of his role in the plot of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace – which is why the book about his life was written, and from which the most famous 38chapter of The Protocols was pilfered. Goedsche’s At the Jewish Cemetery in Prague appeared in Saint Petersburg in pamphlet format. It was purported to be non-fiction and celebrated as “truly and frighteningly accurate.”
That conspiracy was so intriguing and well-known, it is a wonder anyone believed The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Count Alessandro Cagliostro was one of four con artists tried by the Paris Parliament over the necklace. And while it’s likely that the man who claimed to have been abandoned after being born to Christians of nobility, and who traveled to Medina, Mecca, and Cairo prior to being admitted into the Roman Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta, played only a minor role in the affair, the story chronicled in the book Christians plagiarized to create the concluding chapter of The Protocols, demonstrates the lure of conspiracy.
The diamond necklace about which this whole affair began was offered to Queen Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI of France. She turned it down, saying “We have more need of seventy ships than of necklaces.” But the truth did not stand in the way of the fictional tale promoted by the Jacobins to discredit the Queen. While it was not true, pamphlets flooded France, attesting to the notion that Antoinette had attempted to defraud the crown jewelers – all of which was used to justify her beheading and the French Revolution.
In reality, because the crown jewelers couldn’t get the Queen to buy their necklace, they elicited the help of trickster Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois, who conceived the plan to use the necklace to gain royal patronage and, thus, wealth and power in Roman Catholic France. After becoming the mistress of Cardinal de Rohan, whom Marie Antoinette despised for being a rumor monger who spread lies about her to the Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa, Jeanne de Saint-Remy played the Cardinal who became convinced as a result of letters that she forged, that Marie 39Antoinette was secretly in love with him. Then to fool the Cardinal into believing that she and the Queen were close, Saint-Remy Valois, in August of 1784 arranged for Cardinal de Rohan to meet the “Queen” in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. But unbeknownst to Rohan, rather than being greeted by Antoinette, Saint-Remy arranged for the Cardinal to meet with a prostitute, Nicole d’Oliva, who was chosen for the role because of her resemblance to Antoinette.
After Jeanne de Saint-Remy entered the French royal court through another lover, Retaux de Villette, she continued to manipulate Cardinal Rohan. He transferred large sums of money to her under the guise of supporting the “Queen’s charity work” while she perpetuated the myth of her close ties with Antoinette. She became so brazen with her forgeries, many, including the jewelers Boehmer and Bassenge, embraced her deceptions as real, resolving to use her to sell their necklace, offering her a commission. A talented con artist and forger, the French trickster, Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois, pretending to be Queen Marie Antoinette, sent several letters to Cardinal de Rohan which included an order to buy the necklace, even signing each letter “Marie Antoinette de France.” But since there was starvation and poverty in France, Saint-Remy asked the Cardinal to act as a secret intermediary. So, he negotiated a price to be paid in installments, claiming to have the Queen’s authorization, showing the jewelers the documents Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois had forged for the occasion. After bringing the necklace home, Saint-Remy arranged for a valet to fetch it and promptly picked the necklace apart and sold the gems on the black markets of Paris and London. Then when Boehmer complained to the Queen about not receiving any future installments, Antoinette correctly stated that she had not ordered or received the necklace.
40Immediately thereafter, on the Assumption of Mary, August 15th, 1785, as Cardinal de Rohan prepared to officiate in the royal chapel, he was summoned before the King and Queen to explain himself. Evidently prepared, he presented the forged letter signed “Marie Antoinette de France,” not knowing that French royalty signed only with their given names. King Louis, recognizing that Cardinal de Rohan, having spent his life in and around the palace should have known this, arrested the Cardinal and sent him to the Bastille. On the way, he sent a note to Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois, telling her to destroy all copies of the fraudulent operation. At the same time, the police also arrested the prostitute, Nicole d’Oliva, who confessed, while indicting the noted Freemason and Occultist, Alessandro Cagliostro – the man whose biography became the basis of the most notorious chapter of The Protocols.
Politically connected, Cardinal de Rohan and Alessandro Cagliostro chose to be judged by the Parliament de Paris rather than the King. And while they were acquitted for political and religious reasons, the Affair of the Diamond Necklace was now news the world over and the stuff of conspiracy. Meanwhile, Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois was condemned to whipping and branded with a “V” for voleuse / thief on each shoulder. She was sentenced to life imprisonment in the prostitutes’ prison at the Salpetriere, from which she escaped dressed as a boy.
But that is not the end of the story. As conspiracies are wont to do, even with the French government and Marie Antoinette both being innocent, and the Roman Catholic Cardinal complicit, the people preferred the scandalous and seductive deceptions and blamed the Queen, believing that she was a manipulative spendthrift and more interested in vanity than the welfare of the people.
As for Jeanne de Saint-Remy Valois, she took refuge in London and in 1789 published her Memoires 41Justificatifs, once again libeling Queen Marie Antoinette. The conspiracy of the Diamond Necklace Affair opened the floodgates of malicious attacks on the crown, especially the Queen, all deliberately orchestrated to bring down the monarchy. Salacious and degrading pamphlets, yesteryear’s social media, kindled the fires that led to the French Revolution with wholly fabricated, albeit lurid, tales contrived to fashion the perfect scapegoat for the Jacobins to deploy.
It was akin to the most famous line attributed to the French monarchy, “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche – let them eat cake,” which in ancient literature was supposedly spoken by “a great princess” upon learning that the peasants had no bread. And while the phrase is commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette to discredit her, there is no record of her having said it. It was yet another lie at the heart of a conspiracy – not a word of which was true.
A work of babel, a complete fabrication lifted from books having everything to do with European politics and Roman Catholicism and nothing whatsoever to do with Jews, was presented in newspapers as if they were reporting the news.
The worst part of The Protocols is that it allowed Anti-Semites to spread their hatred of Jews worldwide. And it became a blueprint for one absurd conspiracy after another. Even when it wasn’t true, Jews are now seen as controlling every significant human endeavor.
Today, the most commonly read rendition of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was anonymously augmented in 1934 to include articles from Ford’s Dearborn Independent, thereby expanding the original in Nilus’ 1905 book The Great in the Small: The Coming of the Anti-Christ and the Rule of Satan on Earth. The 1934 text, still purporting to be a transcription of minutes stolen from the 18th century Rabbinical Cabal, includes a 1920 42citation from Chaim Weizmann whereby he simply states that “Jews are dispersed all over the world.” Rather than prove that the alleged document purporting to have been written two centuries earlier was a complete hoax, the conspirators used the innocuous Weizmann citation as evidence that “a National Home in Palestine is only camouflage and an infinitesimal part of the Jew’s real object. The Jews of the world have no intention of settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that Jews are now a world menace for which the Aryan races will have to domicile them permanently out of Europe.”
And the fact remains that conspiracies are credibility quicksand. And that is yet another reason that Yahowah doesn’t want His people venturing into them. He doesn’t want His message contaminated by them. After all, God has already endured millennia of having His veracity impugned by all the religions which claim to speak for Him. The last thing He wants is to endure yet another blow from the dumbest among us.
Yahowah recognizes that anyone who dares step into the murky realm of clandestine schemes gets filthy and is stained by the experience, even if they manage to escape. And no one gets out unscathed. It’s a muddy and murky world with few facts and tenuous speculations. It is not a place for those who wish to be known based upon evidence and reason.
We have just begun. Let’s turn the page and see where this all leads.
