…In New York, and in the prominent Orthodox communities of Israel and London, allegations of child molestation and rape have been rampant. The alleged abusers are schoolteachers, rabbis, fathers, uncles—figures of male authority. The victims, like those of Catholic priests, are mostly boys. Rabbi Rosenberg believes around half of young males in Brooklyn’s Hasidic community—the largest in the United States and one of the largest in the world—have been victims of sexual assault perpetrated by their elders. Ben Hirsch, director of Survivors for Justice, a Brooklyn organization that advocates for Orthodox sex abuse victims, thinks the real number is higher. “From anecdotal evidence, we’re looking at over 50 percent. It has almost become a rite of passage.”
Ultra-Orthodox Jews who speak out about these abuses are ruined and condemned to exile by their own community. Dr. Amy Neustein, a nonfundamentalist Orthodox Jewish sociologist and editor of Tempest in the Temple: Jewish Communities and Child Sex Scandals, told me the story of a series of Hasidic mothers in Brooklyn she got to know who complained that their children were being preyed on by their husbands.
In these cases, the accused men “very quickly and effectively engage the rabbis, the Orthodox politicians, and powerful Orthodox rabbis who donate handsomely to political clubs.” The goal, she told me, is “to excise the mother from the child’s life.” Rabbinical courts cast the mothers aside, and the effects are permanent. The mother is “amputated.” One woman befriended by Dr. Neustein, a music student at a college outside New York, lost contact with all six of her children, including an infant she was breastfeeding at the time of their separation.
I am writing to flag a truly important document that should be widely circulated and read carefully by anyone interested in the ongoing Gaza War.
Specifically, I am referring to the 84-page “application” that South Africa filed with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 29 December 2023, accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.[1] It maintains that Israel’s actions since the war began on 7 October 2023 “are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnic … group in the Gaza Strip.” (1) That charge fits clearly under the definition of genocide in the Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory.[2]
The application is a superb description of what Israel is doing in Gaza. It is comprehensive, well-written, well-argued, and thoroughly documented. The application has three main components.

It has often been repeated there is “no evidence” of fraud in the 2020 Election. In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won.
Ongoing investigations in the Swing States reveal hundreds of thousands of votes were altered and/or not lawfully cast in the Presidential Election. Joe Biden needed them. On Election Night Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump was sailing to reelection with landslide leads in numerous battlegrounds. In Georgia, President Trump was up by 12 points, and over 335,000 votes, with 56 percent of the vote in at 10:17 p.m. In Wisconsin, President Trump was leading by 121,380 votes and 5 1 points at 12:12 a.m., which Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted was “not a small margin.” In Pennsylvania, President Trump was leading by 659,145 votes at 12:38 a.m., a full 15 points. In Michigan, President Trump was leading by 293,052 votes and 10 points.2
The election was over. However, precincts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee kept counting until the results reached the desired outcome, which was the opposite of the will of the voters. Georgia went from having a total of 4.7 million votes, already a record for the state, according to Brad Raffensperger’s count on Nov. 4, to certifying almost 5 million. This was 300,000 more votes than what the top elections official claimed were cast in the Election.
Getting to this result in Georgia, and other states, created an irredeemably compromised Election, filled with violations of the Constitution, unlawful ballots, widespread broken chain of custody, electronic manipulation, and missing and corrupted election files that made it uncertifiable — and impossible to recreate the results.
President Trump was right to voice his objections to what had unfolded before the country’s eyes. Republican poll watchers were denied access to the counting in multiple jurisdictions and ballots were counted in secret in the middle of the night without media or observers present. Countless irregularities emerged, including reports of ineligible voters, voting machine anomalies, “water main breaks,” improbable percentages of ballots for Biden, and more. Since, investigations across the country have uncovered an avalanche of irregularities, unlawful activity, manipulation of election records, destruction of evidence, and fraud. The findings, which are outcome determinative, are detailed in the summaries of the Swing States.
Were hospitals actually ‘full and overwhelmed’ in 2020 and 2021, as the media wanted us to believe? According to this nurse whistleblower, “they weren’t.” Nurse Gail Macrae began questioning the COVID protocols when she began having to refuse entry to family members of dying patients. The administration of remdesivir and thwarting of alternative treatments further contributed to her skepticism. Ultimately, her pushback against the establishment lost Gail her job. She explains the details during her CHD Bus appearance.
UPDATE 2: Posted this a couple weeks ago. Well-worth viewing if you missed it. ABN
UPDATE: Macrae is a very credible speaker. I am taking her at her word due to her extensive experience and also because what she describes happening in hospitals fits what we can see has happened nationwide.
She describes a hospital community wherein immoral practices were mandated protocols. She says only some 30% of her colleagues saw what was going on and how bad it was.
She describes the rest of her colleagues as wanting to be in ‘the in-crowd’ and not wanting to ‘rock the boat’. Since medical professionals are among our most highly trained workers, a picture emerges from Macrae’s words and what we know happened elsewhere that the vast majority of humans are functional non-thinkers, non-observers, virtual intellectual slaves. This is how the covid debacle happened and why stuff like this is bound to happen again.
From this very large example provided by covid we can also see that humans in general, though trainable, are not very smart and often behave like psychopathic morons in large groups and crowds.
And this is what mind-control professionals (and they are professionals) work with—malleable, easily frightened and coerced human herds.
And this corroborates the First & Second Noble Truths of Buddhism: People cause suffering by clinging to delusion and only some of them even glimpse what is happening and only a few of those do anything about it.
Macrae describes the majority of her colleagues as having ‘sold their souls… They chose to do what was easy and go along’. She appropriately describes herself as ‘free’ and says that is the ‘most powerful thing that has happened to her in the past two years’.
This is precisely what Buddhist enlightenment, Buddhist joy is. Her beatific smile and metal state as she speaks of her freedom from the collective delusion of her colleagues is testimony to the value of compassionate wisdom and her attainment of it. Doesn’t matter whether she is Buddhist or not. The truth she figured out is real and is a key insight into the nature of the human realm and what liberation from it entails. ABN
The men whose backs are turned to the camera are cartel. They have guns. The farmers had machetes and attacked. Some also had rifles. Three farmers killed, eight cartel killed. Obviously, this is not the end of this. ABN
