STATUE OF LIBERTY

To emphasize the odyssey of the Portuguese Sephardic Jews in America I showed a slide of the Statue of Liberty in the Bay of New York, and asked this question: "¿Is this statue also Portuguese Sephardic Jewish ?" Of course the entire audience had a good laugh. But in a few seconds the laughter subsided when I revealed that on the base of this famous statue, the largest in the world, there exists a bronze plaque (1903) which contains a poem of 14 verses written by Emma Lazarus, a Portuguese Sephardic Jewish poet, niece of the famous Supreme Court Justice, Benjamin Cardozo, also a Portuguese Sephardic Jew!

There are investigators who believe that sixty percent of the Portuguese population has Jewish blood. This should not be surprising since the Jews were settled in Portugal two thousand years before Christ was born! This is the reason why the Portuguese names derived from vegetables, trees, rivers and mountains have their origin in Portuguese Sephardic Jews. Consult your family name to verify if you have or not Jewish origin!

Hi, Marcy. People researching my ROOSA roots have often come across the Azores ROSA family, and they are indeed "marranos" (more properly, "conversos" or "crypto-jews"). You can join the Sephardic mailing list -- I don't know offhand what the "subscribe" address is, but I get my posts from sefard@lyris.jewishgen.org -- and/or check out sites like http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/SefardForum.htm
http://www.jewishgen.org/jgff/
or
http://www.jewishgen.org/Jewishgen/facts.html
for more information.



My own ROSA (ROOSA in Dutch) line comes, according to a family legend, from the city of Rosas in the extreme NE corner of Spain, from which they were expelled in 1492. A large number of those expelled from Spain at that time fled to Portugal, but five years later the Portugese king, wanting to get on good terms with the rulers of Spain, ordered all the Jews in his realm to "convert" to Roman Catholicism. At first, this king ordered all the Jews to leave, but then his advisors reminded him that the Jews were the most talented, resourceful people in his kingdom. He then did everything he could to KEEP them from leaving, including kidnapping their children and sending them off to an island. Most of them went through sham conversions, and continued to practice Judaism in secret. One custom that seems to have endured to this day in many families ( though the family members are often unaware of why they have this custom) is lighting two or more candles just before sundown on Friday nights.

My own ROSA line was quickly assimilated into mainstream Dutch life, especially when they came to live on the frontier in New Netherlands, and I only stumbled upon the "converso" connection by noticing some names on a website I happened upon. You are fortunate to have an oral family history about this.

Shalom, cousin :-)

Jews also contributed to the peopling of the archipelago. Sephardim Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula may. have used the Azores as a refuge. ...



To order a copy of the video: Memory and Expulsion: Descendants of the Hidden Jews, please send me an e-mail: geoles@sympatico.ca The cost is $50 Usd. plus shipping & handling. This film is a riveting account of modern day descendants of the Jews who were forcibly converted during the Spanish Inquisition. In 1492, with the stroke of a pen, fifteen hundred years of Jewish Life in Spain came to an abrupt end. In a Medieval example of "ethnic cleansing", the Jews of Spain were given a choice: expulsion or conversion. Half the community left (mostly to Portugal), half converted. Many of the converted, known as "Conversos" continued to practice Judaism in secret, establishing a way of life that has, remarkably survived to the present day. Shot on location in Spain, Portugal, Israel, Canada and the United States, Expulsion and Memory tells the story of the "Conversos" and the memories that still haunt their descendants. In New Mexico, we witness a faith so strong, that it led Hispanic-Americans to etch secret Judaic symbols into the tombstones of their Ancestors. In Spain, an elderly woman confides that Jews are known for their horns and tails. In todays world, a Portuguese Catholic woman lights candles on Friday night and recites the Jewish prayer. In Belmonte, Portugal, townspeople who have practiced Judaism in complete secrecy for five centuries now pray openly for the first time. The film, characterized by an emotional and spiritual resonance features a lyrical Sephardic/Spanish soundtrack and performances by some of the worlds leading artisits including Placido Domingo, Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Produced against the greatest challenges, this film was to represent the beauty and the triumph of the Jewish Spirit and be a homage to the "Sephardim" who kept their faith against incredible odds.

Large numbers of expelled Portuguese Jews re-settled in Holland, England, Italy, Turkey, Morocco, Gibraltar and in all of the Portuguese colonies especially Brazil, the CapeVerde Islands and the Azores. It is believed that the Azores were 30% Jewish during the early stages of settlement. The Cape Verde islands of Santo Antonio and Brava to this day still bear vestiges of Judaism. Brazil by far, received the greatest number of Portuguese Jews, who were responsible in large measure for developing the early economic infrastructure of Portuguese colonial Brazil. It should also be noted, that the early whaling and import/export economies of New England U.S.A., were developed primarily by the Portuguese Jews. They had escaped the inquisitorial pressures of Portuguese colonial Brazil and subsequently re-settled in Guyana, Jamaica, Curação and other islands in the Carribean before eventually making their way north to parts of New England. Nowadays, vestiges of Portugal's Jewish past can still be seen in the remote towns and villages of Portugal. Several Crypto-Jewish communities still exist in the Trás-os-Montes region and there are many very old synagogues in Portugal as well. For over 400 years, Crypto-Jews had to rely on extreme secrecy and deception to avoid the inquisitors. However, despite the great obstacles and adversities of the Portuguese inquisition, the Crypto-Jews of Portugal persevered and secretly kept their religion alive. In the town of Belmonte, among others in Portugal for example, efforts are being made to re-approximate the Crypto Jewish religion with the orthodoxy of Israel.

Between Europe and America, nine islands rise up from the Atlantic Ocean, quite surprising in their unspoilt natural beauty. Important Jewish families settled here in the 15th century, around the time of their discovery, and at the beginning of the 19th century.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-Judaism

Since then, I have learned that Manny likely has Jewish ancestry. The Azores were settled when Jews fled the Inquisition in Portugal, Torah scrolls have been recovered from caves and grottos and Manny’s mother revealed multiple convincing signs of crypto-Judaism to me before she passed away. But whether or not we actually share a common Jewish heritage, cultural or class background does not change the fact that we are still happy together 10 years later.

Ocean Dead Zones May Be Worse Than Thought

Wired

2008-10-02

Oxygen-starved ocean dead zones may be more widespread than thought.

Spanish researchers found that many species die off at oxygen levels well above what is now considered uninhabitable. The new study suggests that the extent of dead zones in coastal areas that support fishing industries is greater than previously known.

Since the mid-20th century, more than 400 dead zones have formed along continental coastlines, where fertilizer pollution causes algal blooms whose decomposition feeds oxygen-gobbling bacteria.

These so-called hypoxic regions now cover an area roughly equivalent in size to Oregon. Compared to Earth's total ocean area, that's relatively small, but they're grouped in places critical to commercial fishing. They're also spreading, in both size and frequency: Since the 1960s, the number of hypoxic areas has doubled every 10 years.

And as significant as the problem is, it's based on what may be outdated, overly permissive standards. The new study is a review of nearly 900 studies of 206 ocean floor-dwelling species, and suggests that the level of oxygen considered hypoxic needs to be raised.

"These results imply that the number and area of coastal ecosystems affected by hypoxia and the future extent of hypoxia impacts on marine life have been generally underestimated," write Carlos Duarte and Raquel Vaquer-Sunyer of the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies. The paper was published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The benchmark for hypoxia was set in 1983, when scientists found that fish and shrimp abandoned water containing less than two milligrams of dissolved oxygen per liter. To preserve the biodiversity of bottom-dwellers — and thus the functional structure of marine ecosystems that currently support coastal commercial fishing industries — Duarte and Vaquer-Sunyer would set an oxygen baseline of 4.6 milligrams per liter, if not higher.

Hypoxianumbers"If we went by this definition, we'd probably double the number of hypoxic zones, or at least increase it by 100," said Robert Diaz, a Virginia Institute of Marine Science biologist who has tracked the rise of ocean dead zones since 1995, and was not involved in the current study.

Diaz noted that the figure produced by Duarte and Vaquer-Sunyer was a rule of thumb: In tropical regions, lower oxygen levels may be acceptable, while more oxygen may be needed elsewhere. More important than the figure itself, he said, was what it signified.

"The dead zones are occurring in areas that are very productive fishing grounds," said Diaz. "Everything is pointing towards a more desperate situation in all aquatic systems, freshwater and marine. That's pretty clear. People should be worried, all over the world."

THE JEWS OF CAPE VERDE AND OF THE AZORES

Ronald Schneider, MD.
Writes:

Ada feels honored to be put on your beautiful web page. Thank you for thinking of us.

I have some information on the Jews of Cape Verde and of the Azores. There were several sources for Jewish entry into Cape Verde and the Azores.

1. Jews who migrated to Portugal from Spain and couldn't pay the taxes were claimed as
vassals to the king. Many were sent to Caboverde, Madeira and/or the Azores.

2. Jewish children under the age of 14 were confiscated from their families by decree in an
attempt to force the family to convert to Christianity. If the family did not convert, many of these
children were sent to the islands.

3. To escape persecution, many conversos attempted to get as far away from the mainland as
possible. Travel to the colonies was easier than to foreign countries.

4. There are many ties between the city of Tomar (Prince Henry the Navigator's main center of
activity and also the center of the Templar Knights) and the islands.

5. One of the main sites of activity of the Portuguese Explorers were the islands. Most of the
navigators were of Jewish origin. Even Columbus had close ties to the Azores and Madeira.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luso

The following is from a presentation I gave to the local Luso American Society...
History of Portugal

In the year 711, Muslim armies invaded Iberia (Spain and Portugal). Slowly they captured almost all of the entire peninsula. They did not force the Christians and Jews who were their subjects to convert to Islam and they ruled fairly and kindly for hundreds of years. The country was called Andalusia. Eventually the rulers began arguing among themselves and militant fundamentalists took over. They oppressed their subjects and the Christians and Jews began rebelling, pushing the Muslim rulers further and further south.

Portugal was the first to completely free itself of Muslim rule in 1250. Spain completed its re-conquest in 1492. Spain celebrated this freedom by demanding that all Muslims and Jews convert to Catholicism or leave the country. The final day for compliance with this cruel decree was one day before Columbus left on his historic voyage. His note on this sad event was one of the first entries into his logbook.

Many of the departing Jews went to Portugal. But, this freedom was short-lived. The king of Portugal, Manuel, had proposed to Princess (Infanta) Isabela, the daughter of the Spanish king and queen, Ferdinand and Isabela. He hoped that one day he would be king of all Portugal and Spain. The Spanish monarchs agreed but one of the conditions was that he get rid of all of his Jews also.

Manuel agreed to this condition and wrote an edict of expulsion, but perhaps he regretted this action. After all, his Jewish subjects were among his most loyal. Many had risen to high positions in government. Many were doctors, judges and merchants. Prince Henry the Navigator, his uncle had recruited many of them to found his great schools for exploration that were the envy of all of Europe and far superior to those of the much larger country of Spain.

Columbus got most of his early navigational training in Portugal. [One story is that the Portuguese navigators rejected Columbus because he had miscalculated the circumference of the world. They knew it was 25,000 miles and a much longer journey to China than his calculations showed.

Another story is that they had already discovered the new world and had explored much of Brazil. Anyway, who cared about this western route! Portugal was well on its way to India by circling around southern Africa, a much shorter, surer route. To make a long story short, King Manuel never allowed his Jewish subjects to leave. Instead, he embarked on a series of stronger and stronger measures to force them to convert to Christianity. He had hoped to have his cake and eat it too. He took away their children, he confiscated their possessions, he forced some into slavery. He would not let them escape. In the end, he was able to keep his end of the bargain with Spain and he married the Spanish princess. Unfortunately for him, he never became the king of Spain, nor did any of his heirs.

In the meantime, the forced Jewish converts, who were now called Conversos, did all they could to avoid the persecution of the Inquisition. Some moved to the sparsely populated northern mountainous areas; others went to the Portuguese colonies of the Azores, Madeira, Mozambique, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, Goa, etc. where the Inquisition was thought to be less strong. Some of the Portuguese Jews finally managed to escape to America.

In 1654 a group of them immigrated from Brazil to New Amsterdam. Within a few years, because of persecution by Governor Peter Stuyvesant, they migrated to Newport, R.I. where Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson had established a colony free of religious persecution, something so rare anywhere in the world at that time. They built the first synagogue in America there. It was their direct ancestors who started the whaling industry in New Bedford.

In Spain and Portugal and their colonies, converted Jews (conversos) who were thought to practice any of their religion were called Marranos (a dirty word meaning swine). If they were convicted of practicing Judaism (i.e. heresy) they were severely punished, often burned at the stake. The church and state then divided their possessions. It was very lucrative. Spies and informers were well rewarded. High prices were paid for letters of limpieza de sangre (purity of blood). Even honest Catholics (or Old Christians) got caught up in the web. No one dared to try to get ahead lest he be singled out by some rascal jealous of his success. Conditions became chaotic.

Eventually Premier Pombal in the 1770s put an end to the issue by terminating all discriminatory laws. It was these very edicts dating from the 1770s that Consul de Sousa Mendes used in his defense, years later. But, the ending of discrimination came too late to save Judaism in Portugal. The spark had all but been extinguished. Hardly all that remains are the stories that go:

"we were once Jews too..."

"IT ALL ENDS WITH ME"
Letter from the Azores
Reprinted from FORWARD January 9 1998



"I am the last Jew in all of the Azores," Jorge Delmar says...

He is a stocky man in his early 50's who runs an import- export business in Ponta Delgada, the capital city of Sao Miguel, the largest of the nine islands that comprises the Portuguese archipelago.

"Thirty years ago, there were 16 Jewish families on this island," he adds. "We were a community. We had services in the old synagogue and made all the festivities in my grandfather's house. But all the others have died or converted or moved away. I am the only one left."

Mr Delmar's wife and children are Catholic. He says his wife sometimes asks him, "Why do you say you are a Jew? What happened to the Jews?" He tells her, "As my mother is a Jew, I am always a Jew. That's all."

The truth, though, is more complex. Mr Delmar's connection to the Azores began in 1818, when the Bensaude family of Morocco came to this volcanic outcropping, mythologized in lore as the remnants of the lost continent of Atlantis.
The family made their fortune trading crops with England for manufactured goods, and trading bills of exchange while transporting emigrants to Brazil. In the process, they changed the nature of the Azorean economy, says professor of economic history at the University of the Azores, Fatima Sequeria Dias.

"The Bensaudes had the trade connection that enabled them to link England, Brazil and Newfoundland with the Azores," Ms Dias says.
"When they got into the bill of exchange business, that was the beginning of banking in the Azores." This single Jewish family, she says, succeeded in integrating the islands' economy, establishing a chain of retailers throughout the archipelago that offered imported goods on easy terms and developing its maritime transport industry.

Today, the Bensaudes remain the Azores's chief economic entity, a financial empire with international interests. But they are no longer Jewish. Fearful of a Nazi occupation of Portugal, most converted during World War II. Vasco Bensaude,

Back in the 19th century, however, the Bensaudes' example and the growing prosperity of the Azores served as a beacon for North African Jews. Among them was Jorge Delmar's great-grandfather, who immigrated from Tangiers and found work in the Bensaude tobacco factory.
Jewish communities emerged throughout the islands. At one time there were five synagogues on Sao Miguel of Terceira and Fayal. Only one of the synagogues still remains: Shahak Hasamain, consecrated in 1893 in a 16th century building on a busy downtown street in Ponta Delgada.
Through the 1960's it held services; after that, the premises were maintained by two Jewish sisters who lived in the building. Since their death, it has fallen into disrepair.

Only Jorge Delmar stands between the Synagogue's existance and its extinction. "I pay the taxes and for the electricity and water. I keep the Torah, six silver candelabras and the other heirlooms in my home. Maybe one day the synagogue will be rebuilt and they can be put back in their rightful place," he says. "It seems impossible, but I have hope."

Up the rickety staircase and through an arched wooden door is the high-ceilinged sanctuary of the synagogue, with its bima of old wood, its ark draped with a green curtain on which the Ten Commandments are embroidered in gold. Everywhere there is disorder and disrepair as furnishings, prayer books and prayer shawls succumb to the island's humidity.

Mr Delmar points to the second row where as a child he would sit behind his uncle. His grandfather sat next to the reader's desk. "We never had a rabbi. The oldest Jew was in charge, and that for many years was my grandfather."

Mr Delmar may close the book on the story of the Jews of Azores but some researchers believe there is another Jewish story here, one that pre-dates the Bensaudes' arrival by some 300 years and one that continues to live on in mysterious ways. "The Jewish presence in the Azores had two moments," says the director of the municipal department of culture and history on the island of Terceira, Francisco dos Reis Maduro Dias.
"The second, which began at the start of the 19th century and continued through the 20th century, is well documented. The first, which coincided with the discovery and the settlement of the Azores in the 15th and 16th centuries, is not documented at all. All we know is that Jews were here and, like those on the mainland, were pressured to convert."

However, Mr Dias says historians are now beginning to believe there is some connection between the early Jews and a uniquely Azorean ceremony known as the cult of the Holy Spirit. These ceremonies are held in fanciful little chapels that look like crosses between one-room schoolhouses and wedding cake decorations.

Each year, on the seven Sundays following Easter - roughly corresponding to the period between Passover and Shavuoth or the counting of the omer - these otherwise unused buildings come to life.
Repainted, redecorated and profusely adorned with flowers, they become the sites of worship of the Holy Spirit, of confirmation type ceremonies for children and of the community feasta for the fulfillment of pledges made earlier in the year. Sometimes a type of flat bread made without yeast and stamped with the seal of the crown of the Holy Spirit is used. "No one will tell you the cult is a Jewish custom," Mr Dias says. "It was born within Christianity during the 11th and 12th centuries through brother- hoods who contested the divinity of Christ. But we believe it was used perhaps developed by Jews at a certain moment as a means of coexisting with the larger culture." It is easy to see why New Christians, still Jewish in their hearts, would be attracted to the cult.

"The entire procedure has nothing to do with the church," Mr Dias says. "The emporia have no crosses, no representations of holy figures.....Moreover, the Holy Spirit is God with no Christ. It is the presence of an abstract God."

Feasts and brotherhoods connected with the Cult of the Holy Spirit were widespread in medieval Europe and lingered in Portugal into the 19th century. But while the Cult died out everywhere else, it inexplicably developed a powerful following in the Azores, and to this day continues to be a defining aspect of the island culture, extending even to emigre communities in America.

One group of Azorean- Americans still maintains its emporium on the island of Flores. Every year, a number of people travel to Flores, perform the rituals and partake of the festival. Afterwards, they clean up, close the doors to their little temple, and return to America.

Aside from the Holy Spirit sites, today the only evidence of a Jewish presence in the Azores is a couple of cemeteries and a deteriorating synagogue which Jorge Delmar, for the past 20 years, has struggled to preserve. He has been writing letters, meeting with government officials and trying to raise 200,000 dollars to restore the deteriorating structure.

"Its easy to be a Jew any place now," says the last Jew in the Azores. "But here we are soon to be no more. This synagogue should remain as a reminder that once we were here... I feel I have to do some thing. It all ends with me." Myrna Katz Frommer

The Beast of the Apocalypse - The beast is referred to as several final ... Sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that had gotten victory over the beast, ...



The City of Victoria, B.C.

Origin/meaning:
The centre of the design is a blue shield with a wedge-shaped section of white placed upon it, the point of the wedge towards the base. Upon this white wedge or "pile" as it is termed in heraldry, is placed another one slightly smaller, in scarlet. The overall effect is a white V separating the two colour areas of blue and red, thus creating a cypher for the name Victoria.

Starting from the point in base and radiating upward and outward this white V also suggests the growth of the City. The scarlet wedge-shaped upper section represents the peninsula where the City of Victoria is located jutting out into the blue sea, the white V suggesting the surfy coastline. The "Tudor" Crown displayed on the scarlet area pays honor to and commemorates queen Victoria after whom the City was named.

The shield is flanked by emblematic Angel figures representing the twin cities of Colonization on the left and Civilization on the right. Each supports with the inner hand, a branch of laurel as a symbol of honor and form of tribute to those with municipal public service to their credit. The All-seeing eye above is the emblem of the Trinity and suggestive of our constant dependence for the blessings of life upon the bounty of the Deity; the dove with the olive branch symbolizes hope and peace; and the gold Mural Crown is a symbol of municipal authority. Together, the eye, dove and crown form the crest. The mantling flowing from the top of the helmet indicates the municipal colours. Gold and Scarlet (the Royal Colours, another reference to Queen Victoria).

The compartment upon which the shield and supporters rest is of Clouds as on the Seal, while the light blue and white wavy bands along the front edge of the Clouds represent water and indicate Victoria's insular position.

The City's motto, "Semper Liber" - Always Free - is borne on a scroll at the base of the composition and suggests the Free Port system in Victoria's experience and civil institutions.

The red pointy bit represents the peninsula on which the city is located, surrounded by the blue sea. The white fimbriation separating the two colours forms a "V" (for Victoria- what else?); the crown, of course, represents Queen Victoria, after whom the town was named. The colours (red, white, and blue) are taken from the Union Jack, and are meant to show Victoria's loyalty to the crown. The angels are actually supposed to represent "twin sisters of civilization and colonization". The terrible crest (a crest is supposed to be something that could actually have been stuck onto a helmet- rays of light hardly count) represents hope.

Lucky Larry
WTC destroyed, a multi-billion insurance compensation
consoles Larry Silverstein



After all, the entire world is happy for Larry Silverstein, whom fate poured its manna from heaven and good fortune upon him. First, the WTC-leasing contract fell on his lap and only a short time later two passenger jets crashed into the towers, which prompted 7,2 billion Dollars to rain down on Larry's head: "70 year old Silverstein, by leasing the WTC only in July, made the 'dream of his life come true'." --Die Welt, Berlin, Nov 23, 2002. Who would not understand lucky Larry's sentiments, when he described the WTC-deal as the fulfilled dream of his life, despite his deep sorrow for the victims.

Whenever so many wonderful people of the Jewish faith come together and celebrate their deserved fortune, Daniel Liebeskind must never be missed out. This wonderful architect has been chosen to build Larry Silverstein's new WTC: "The architect who designed the Jewish Museum Berlin shall build the new WTC: The blueprint 'gardens of the world', by star-architect Daniel Liebeskind, was chosen to be the plan to build again on Ground Zero, the NYT and NY1-Television reported Thursday." --Die Welt, Berlin, Feb 28, 2003.

The Blessed Virgin vs. the Khazar Jew Supremacists

The second part of the Secret of Fatima may hold an incredible mystery that to date has escaped the understanding of the Fatima specialists.

Three times Our Lady explicitly mentioned Russia in Her Secret, but are we really sure we know exactly what She intended by such a specific and ostensibly straightforward reference? Was She simply referring to territorial Russia, that part of the world which became the first victim of the satanic political conspiracy known as Communism, or did She have another object in mind?

Our contention is that Russia is to be understood not only literally (territorial Russia), but also symbolically (mystical Russia). And, furthermore, that the symbolic meaning is primary in this Message.

Now, by mystical Russia we refer to the Khazar Jew conspiratorial elite, whose forebears originally hailed from the Kingdom of Khazaria in the steppes of Russia. Beginning in the 10th century A.D., they spread out into Poland, and thence throughout Europe and the rest of the world. This diaspora was so extensive that today the overwhelming majority of those who call themselves Jews are not Semites at all, but Caucasians, aka Ashkenazim Jews, from Khazar Russia. Read Arthur Koestler's The Thirteenth Tribe to learn more about their true racial background (which they are naturally very keen to conceal). For reviews and further information about this book, first published in Britain in 1976, click here.





This delusional, Luciferian, Khazar Jewish, supremacist sect, chief amongst which figures the Rothschild dynasty, have succumbed to Satan's primordial lie that it is in his gift to make them god-like rulers of the world. Currently, it is true, they have cryptocratic control over almost every “civilised” government in the world, and they hope shortly to impose an open, antichristic New World Order that will replace all vestiges of Christendom.

(Note, however, that the majority of ordinary Jews have little if any knowledge of the existence and criminal intentions of this conspiratorial elite. This is true even for hardened Zionists.)

Below we provide ten arguments in support of our contention that Our Lady was primarily referring to this mystical Russia rather than territorial Russia in the second part of the now famous Secret that She revealed on July 13, 1917, in Fatima, Portugal.

* Almost all the top Illuminati claim to be Jews. And yet, as we have seen, they are not Semites at all. They must trace their ancestry back, not to Palestine, but to the Russian kingdom of Khazaria, which converted en masse to Judaism in 740 A.D. (This means that the term anti-Semitism applied to those who expose their nefarious practices is a nonsense smear.)

* Just as God refused to hallow by the name of Jew those who in reality are “members of the synagogue of Satan” (Apocalypse 2:9), so Our Lady does likewise. She refers to them as Russia, thus exploding their delusional racial pretensions and confirming their non-Semitic origin.

* Although territorial Russia may have helped to spread throughout the world the errors and persecutions prophesied by Our Lady, it would be more correct to regard her as the victim rather than the agent of these errors and persecutions. Holy Russia was as though possessed by these satanic errors which came to her largely from outside her borders.

* The Bolshevik Revolution and the satanic political deception of Communism were stage-managed and paid for by the Khazar Jew elite. Almost all the rulers of early Bolshevik Russia were Khazar Jews, many of them non-Russian. See the JewWatch website for details. Consult also The Plot Against the Church by Maurice Pinay (a pseudonym for a group of 12 priests) which contains a wealth of information on this subject. This book, written just before Vatican Council II opened in 1962, was given to every one of the Council Fathers, and describes the enduring Khazar Jewish plot to destroy the Church.

* Our Lady's promised sign of the impending Second World War (a night illumined by an unknown light) occurred on exactly the same night (January 25-26, 1938) as top Illuminati Khazar Jew Rakovsky, on trial for his life, communicated to Stalin's chief agent the global elite’s ultimatum: accept our secret plan for destroying Hitler, this monster we ourselves have built up, or else we will set Hitler loose on you and he will destroy you. It was Stalin's acceptance of this ultimatum that directly led to the Second World War. Read Red Symphony for this astonishing revelation, which, like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Divine Providence clearly took a very evident part in making available to the world.

* Consecrations of the World of the kind made by the Popes (Pius XII, Paul VI, and John Paul II) failed to fulfil Our Lady’s request, not only because they lacked the exclusive and explicit mention of Russia required, but also because mystical Russia, lying on a spiritual rather than a geographical plane, cannot be assumed to be encompassed by any consecration made of the world itself.

* Our Lady’s apparitions since the early 19th century (including that to the Jew Alphonse Ratisbonne) correspond with the growing power and cunning of the Khazar Jew elite. They constitute implicit warnings to the men of the Church of the menace posed by their most fanatical enemies. And yet God has not wished to expose these conspirators explicitly, presumably because He wishes to make use of them to chastise the world for its sins, particularly the blasphemies that wound His Heart most, those against His Blessed Mother Mary.

* Today, it is not territorial Russia that is visibly spreading errors and false-flag terrorism throughout the world, but ZOGs (Zionist-occupied governments), suborned secret-service personnel, and Jewish-owned corporate media based mainly in Europe, Israel and the USA. And these are just the visible culprits, the immediate agents of the Khazar Jew conspiracists who at all times seek to remain hidden in the shadows, as far removed from traceable involvement in their crimes as possible.

* Our Lady promised an era of peace after Russia had been consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart by the Holy Father and all the bishops, and yet peace is impossible if the Khazar Jew elite – who deliberately create turmoil and disorder as the melting pot from which their antichristic, phoenix-like kingdom is to arise (ordo ab chao) – are not converted or at least neutralised. As Gutle Schnaper, Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s wife, said in 1849, “If my sons did not want wars, there would be none!”

* If the Russia of the Secret exclusively refers to territorial Russia, it becomes difficult to see why all the Popes since Pius XI have failed to comply with such a simple consecration request from Our Lady. In 1980, for example, in a conversation with Cardinal Wyszynski and Msgr. Hnilica, Pope John Paul II (himself a closet Khazar Jew) gave the following reasons for his non-compliance, each as unconvincing as the other: (1) Russia would resent the consecration as interference in her internal affairs; (2) the Pope’s power only extends to Catholics (a mind-boggling falsehood from a pope); (3) his pontifical predecessors had not seen fit to carry out the consecration, so why should he? and (4) it would be hard to convince other Catholic bishops to join him in the consecration (so no question of actually ordering them then!).


If the Khazar Jew elite, with their horrid, satanic, magical practices (originating principally from ancient Babylon) are represented in Scripture as the whore of Babylon (the scarlet woman dressed in Rothschild red, drunk on the blood of God’s saints (the millions of Christians killed in the last century) and with whom all the kings of the earth have committed spiritual fornication), then we may expect the Beast upon which she rides (the apostate nations led by gentile freemasonry) to turn upon her after this consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, laying bare her clandestine cunning for all to see (Apocalypse 17).

SPAIN: Sephardic Jews under Franco

David Seckler says: "What Hans Meyer Morgenthau told Tim Brown reminds me of an experience I had in Cordoba in 1972. A native of the city told me, out of the clear blue sky, that he was Jewish and that his family had retained their Jewish identity during the past 500 years. Even though he knew little of Jewish tradition, this identity was something he felt deeply. I wonder if there is any truth to the rumor I once read--totally without any substantiating evidence--that Francisco Franco descended from a Marrano family. Many Spaniards with very Catholic names (e.g., de los Santos) or names of cities are. But the name Franco doesn't fit either of these categories.

ADL Reports Surge in Anti-Semitic Messages on Online Finance Sites



NEW YORK, Oct 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In the wake of the collapse of major investment banks and the government's proposed bailout of financial institutions, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is reporting a dramatic upsurge in the number of anti-Semitic statements being posted to Internet discussion boards devoted to finance and the economy.
Hundreds of anti-Semitic posts regarding Lehman Brothers and other institutions affected by the subprime mortgage crisis have been submitted to discussion boards dealing with finance, with many more arriving by the minute. The messages rail against Jews in general, with some charging that Jews control the government and finance as part of a "Jew world order" and therefore are to blame for the economic turmoil.

Anti-Jewish invective also has surfaced on a wide variety of blogs and conspiracy Web sites, according to ADL, which monitors anti-Semitism on the Internet through its Center on Extremism. And similar messages have also appeared on neo-Nazi and white supremacist Web sites and Internet forums, which frequently seek to exploit current issues in an effort to spread anti-Semitism to potential recruits.

"We know from modern history that whenever there is a downturn in the global economy, there will be an upturn in the level of anti-Semitism and bigotry, and that is what we are seeing now," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "The age-old canards about Jews and money are always just beneath the surface. As we witnessed after 9/11, whenever there is trouble or uncertainty in the economy or world events, Jews become the scapegoats, and ugly anti-Semitic canards are given new life."

Examples of some of the more virulent anti-Semitic posts to mainstream Finance message boards include:
-- "(Jews have) infiltrated Wall Street and Government and have ruined
our country."
-- "What is a GS Jew? Goldman Sachs? Jews are greedy, rotten slime
balls."
-- "They (Jews) love money nothing else, no faith or religion can be
so heartless to their victims."
-- "That's how they work they short the stock all the way making
billions and then cover right it up sell and then taxpayers to the
rescue and it is true all those institutions are ran by Jews ..."


While operators of the most popular finance message boards, including those hosted by Yahoo! Finance, have been quick to remove offensive comments, the rate at which new posts are arriving prevents them from removing all of the objectionable material before it is widely read. In many cases, other individual members of the groups have immediately responded against the anti-Semitic comments, decrying the messages as bigoted, inappropriate and categorically false. In recent weeks since the crisis started to unfolded, many Internet users have reported their concerns directly to ADL.

"The good news is that providers of Internet services and moderators of message boards and even individual users are quick to react whenever anti-Semitism enters the discussion," said Mr. Foxman. "The service providers are responsive, and in most cases the offensive messages are quickly removed. But in many cases -- especially with online discussions that occur in real time and are closely followed by large groups of users -- the damage is already done."

Similar anti-Semitic sentiments about the economy are appearing with great frequency on white supremacist Web sites such as Stormfront, the largest Internet forum for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Posts and discussions on Stormfront have included references to Jewish control of the banking industry and suggestions that Jews hold complete power over government and the financial services sector.

Wrote one poster on Stormfront of the collapse of Lehman Brothers: "No doubt many of the board of directors, which is usually composed of the major shareholders that wield power, are still largely Jewish ... I would imagine the likelihood of the Fed etc. bailing the company out depends largely to what degree it is Jewish owned."

He [Goldstein] finds that 45 percent of Ashkenazi priests and 56 percent of Sephardic priests have the cohen genetic signature, while in Jewish populations ...



What does the DNA say?

According to Hammer and numerous other scientists, Jewish and Christians, Jews are one of the most distinctive populations—a term scientists use rather than the folkloric notion of “race”—in the world. On our male side, approximately 70-80 percent of Ashkenazi Jews can trace their ancestry back to ancient Israel. A vast majority of Cohanim even trace back to one man who lived approximately 3300 years ago—perhaps Aaron, the first High Priest, if he indeed existed. DNA provides genetic witness to key stories in the Hebrew Bible and clearly rebukes Koestler’s thesis. As much as 20 percent of Ashkenazi Jews—me including—do have what might likely be Khazarian genes, which geneticists believes lead credence to the story of the conversion to Jewry of a tiny segment of the Khazarian population—the nobility. Many of them reportedly also were granted Levite status, which is a reasonable explanation for why half of all Levites have non-Jewish Khazarian origins.

Our maternal Ashkenazi lineage is more complicated and still to be fully unraveled. Israeli geneticist Doron Behar found that about 4 million of today’s Ashkenazi Jews ––about 40 percent of Jews originating in Central and Eastern Europe––descend from just four women. But as many as half of all Ashkenazi Jews might have as its founding mother a non-Jew, as Jewish traders plying the back roads of Europe took on local wives and then subsequently raised their children as Jews, sometimes without the new Jewish mother having undergone formal conversion.

The bottom line: Ashkenazi Jews are by the measure of population genetics one of the most distinctive populations in the world, which explains why there are so many “Jewish diseases” and (scientists speculate) why Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ of any population in the world as a consequence, some scientists believe, of both cultural and genetic factors. We are a genetic goldmine, as scientists peer into our genes to solve the mysteries of life and death.
