Better than Nixon saying (as Vice President) “you won’t have Dick Nixon around anymore” Of course he lied. Later he said “I am not a crook!” Again, he perjured.
Trump was very succinct. To the point. “I’m fucked” … actually, he’s sodomized with a shovel, sideways so it would hurt more.
One of the things that’s being done in many places around the nation, even in churches and synagogues, 
is to have the children of the congregation, many as young as two, stand up and parrot the empty words of the Pledge of Allegiance and no, that isn’t photoshopped, those are real American Kids chanting words they didn’t understand to a graven image.
Right after the “attack” which is avowed as The Official Story Being True, (But the officials who tell the story also said that there were WMDs in Iraq and the Wars are about “freedom”… so, where do the lies end?) children in schools across the land supposedly came up with the idea, with no coaching from their parents or teachers, to have a synchronized chanting of the Pledge. As a show of “patriotism”. Kids who don’t know what death is, or any of the myriad twists and turns of the lies needed to start and sustain wars… told by their teachers to do this, and to lie to the world and say it was their own idea. And if they didn’t, they were “terrorists”. Now, who could find any fault with that?
How about maybe GOD? The Bible strictly prohibits making children swear oaths. Read the Laws of Moses before you jump down my throat about saying it.
Jewish kids say an oath, Bat Mitzvah for the girls and Bar Mitzvah for the boys, when they’re 13 years of age. The oath first Moses then Joshua had the people of Israel say. You see the cute little house sign that says “As for me, and MY house, we will serve the LORD”… without the rest of the stuff surrounding it like Joshua having anybody who didn’t swear the mitzvah killed. Seriously, if you read the Old Testament with open eyes, it ain’t going to be the same as they taught you in Sunday School.
Which is where Jews have an advantage, they don’t hold back and they do tell it like it’s written. Before they swear the Bar/Bat Mitzvah they have to study and be tested to see if they really know what they’re getting into. You can’t say later that you just didn’t know.
The oath is that you will from that day forth (“choose, now, who you will serve…”) obey every Law. So you have to KNOW every law.
There’s a catch to it, a huge gaping hole in it. Nobody ever kept the whole law, and swearing to do so but not doing it is a death-penalty offense. Sanhedrin after Sanhedrin have debated that point. Mostly because a lot of people in the world want to KILL a lot of other people in the world. And to feel no guilt about it.
So there’s a lot of noise bandied about in every religion that somehow there’s an amendment, an invisible escape clause, to the “Thou shalt not kill” command.
“Eye for an eye” keeps coming up. Doesn’t work. If “Eye for an eye” were applied, the only people who could legitimately be killed were the ones who pulled the trigger. Or in this case the airplanes. And they, according the Official And Not To Be Trusted Narrative, died with the others.
There are purification laws which allow you to not be killed for breaking the Law. These laws exist as part of Sha’aria as well so all y’all Islam Haters out ther can just suck it. Sha’aria and the Jewish laws are actually more civilized than for instance the Texas death penalty laws.
Now, the law also says that if you are guilty, with or without purification and redemption, of a death penalty law, you can not judge anybody else to death. “Judge not lest ye also be judged”.
Of course the sheer number of human beings put to death using the religious formula and, in contradiction of that formula, shows one important thing: No matter how pious the practioners of a religion seem to be there will always be those who just don’t give a fat rat’s as about what God has to say. Including having little kids mouth words of an idolatrous oath without understanding those words.
Strangely, one of the biggest “faults” many Christians find with the Jehovah’s Witness sect is that they refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance. They also refused to say Heil Hitler which is really the exact same thing. And the saints in Rome who were fed to the beasts, crucified, murdered in many many unpleasant ways… not for being Christian or Jewish, Rome had a more liberal Freedom of Religion code than anything practiced in the United States.
They were killed not for praying to God but for refusing to pray or swear oaths to the Roman Emperor or the Empire, both of which were declared to be gods
Just like the Pledge of Allegiance.
Coercing the kids into doing it by making the most meaningful threat you could possibly make to a child “You won’t have any friends” is just plain rotten.
The so-called “patriots” who dreamed that shit up are pure low life SCUM and, in the level of their fanatic devotion to War and Hatred, they surpass the wildest accusation they make against Islam and the whole “72 virgins” schtick.
And, they do it in the name of my God and my nation.
And pull out all the other Right Wing Fascist slogans to justify it, like “My country, right or wrong” and “love it or leave it”. Those are the slogans of dictatorships.
If you’re going to use them, try real hard to think, I know it hurts your head to think but try anyway, and don’t give out any crap about you’re saying it for “freedom”.
Which is a distillation of the basic part of Jewish law. When one brings an accusation against another in before the priests (judges) both parties are supposed to be judged. Equally. Leviticus goes on and on about using the same measurements to sell as you use to buy. Standardized weights in every facet of life especially, in cases before the priests.
Israel says Hamas has Anti-Aircraft missiles.
Sure, if I had hostile people in multi-billion dollar attack aircraft flying low over my family and friends and occasionally SHOOTING at us I’d perhaps want some way to shoot back and maybe keep the Rich Murderers from killing me or my family or friends or for that matter ANYBODY.
It’s a huge leap of arrogance for Ehud Barak to go all crybaby and say Waaaahhh those people we’ve been steadily killing in their own country which doesn’t waaaahh actually belong to waaaaah Israel and Israel has no legal authority to waaaaahhh use high-tech terrorism against their people, mostly civilians, have gotten a waaaahh waaahhhh wahhhh way to keep from doing it sometimes.
No Fair!! Waaaahhhh Waaahhh we’re the only ones allowed to kill waaahh waaaaaaaaaaahhhh!”
By the same measure with which ye judge shall judgment be measured out to ye. People who want to argue the point can talk to Moses about it. Or God.
You’re not going to have it both ways, an unlimited Magic Ticket to killing anybody anywhere in the world as Mossad claims the right, and nobody else having the right to stop you from doing it. If you say God gave you that authority then you’re simply LYING and using God’s Name in vain. There’s two of the Commandments right there.
Since the commandments given to Moses extend far beyond the ones Charlton Heston dragged down the mountain, the “Ten”, and the first part of it is that you’re sworn to keep the whole law, and you have to have kept the whole law in order to judge any to death… (which is impossible by the way) you either have to actually live by the Law or quit saying that you do.
It’s not all that difficult to understand. 613 mitzvoh (plural of mitzvah, laws you’re sworn to obey on Bar Mitzvah for young Jewish men and Bat Mitzvah for the ladies) isn’t all that much. Lots of traps in there if you want to just arbitrarily declare yourself to be a judge but that’s the way they’re set up.
There lies the arrogance of doing it.
Aside from all else, eagerly seeking any excuse or “commandment” that allows you to KILL people marks you off as very strongly wanting to kill people and looking for a loophole to the “thou shalt not kill” from God’s Top Ten Hits
There are a lot of Christians and Jews and people who don’t even give a fat flying ferret about what God had to say, but want to KILL.. and Kill PEOPLE, and “get away with it” as far as any laws in predominately Jewish or Christian societies which wisely prohibit killing PEOPLE. and they’ll say that somehow, even though exactly NONE of the people propounding the idea actually speaks fluent Aramaic or Classic Hebrew, that it simply MUST be a clerical error, that the original Hebrew, which conveniently they don’t speak,
AND EVEN MORE CONVENIENTLY THE PEOPLE THEY’RE TRYING TO CONVINCE OF THIS LIE DON’T ACTUALLY SPEAK classical Hebrew, that it really said in the Original, which is conveniently not present, “Thou Shalt Not Commit Murder”.
The fallacy of that is inherent and apparent just in their smarmy-ass Fake Elite elitist presentation of the case.
It’s obvious just from them making such statements as “God said it, we’re the only ones authorized to interpret it and thus you had better believe us or we’ll make sure you burn in Hell” that they
a) fully intend to kill PEOPLE and
b) they’re not sure if they’ll be prevented beforehand or punished afterward and
c) don’t want to take the risk of being punished for their wrongdoing and
d) are going to convince as many people as possible to take their side, and
e) knowing the nature of their own cowardice probably talk other people into doing it for them and assuming all the risks….
Like the risk of somebody returning fire when you’re in your multi-billion dollar Jet Fighter Aircraft murdering them and their neighbors.
