The Establishment Is Living in La-La Land…

Quoting Karen Kwiatkowski’s incisive description of the mutually-exclusive worlds around us, the real and the relayed:

We, on the other hand, people of the world and half of Americans over the age of 10, perceive that there is a real disconnect between the US government’s near-term military objectives, and our woke, wasteful, and wan corporate military system.  We also perceive a mismatch between US government ambitions and the reality of an already-emerged multipolar world.

Realism informs that there are no friends among states, only allied interests, randomly coincidental objectives, fear of destruction and loss, and at the very weak end of the “state relationship” conundrum, financial debts owed.

Perversely and consequently, US foreign policy language is littered with terms like trust, friends, allies, strength through democracy, and the dollar as permanent world reserve currency.  Each of these US projections and themes is misleading; none are substantiated by objective reality.

80% of the global population knows this, and many Americans know this.  Americans sense that words from government officials, whether on foreign or domestic topics, are often outright lies.  NEWSPEAK-style, state utterances inform only when inverted. Americans are bathed daily in chants of human liberty, the sound of freedom making us cozy and infantile, ensconced in our pods.  But like growing humans everywhere, we all see and recognize truth long before we can describe and articulate it.

מישהו בכלל סופר את הרבנות? או שזה תירוץ שימושי רק בנושא הר הבית?! – דוגמה

יש מי שטוען שחייבים לשמוע להם ב”איסור” על עליה להר הבית.

אז הנה משפט אחד מתוך שו”ת בנושא:

“למשל, הרבנות הראשית לישראל קבעה בשנת תש”מ שיש לברך על ההלל בליל יום העצמאות, ורוב בתי הכנסת בישראל (ואף חלק גדול מחברי מועצת הרבנות הראשית) אינם נוהגים כן.”
