October 31, 2004 - THE IMPENDING JOYOUS PASSING OF YASIR ARAFAT
With Yasir Arafat lying sick in a Paris military hospital, doctors say
there is no predicting when he will die. Actually, that's not true. He will
die on a Jewish holiday. Any day that Arafat dies will be a Jewish holiday.
But in a less perverse world, it would be a "Palestinian" holiday as
well. Gone will be the mega-bandit who led them into hopeless misery, who
ordered the murder of thousands of his own and who stole billions of dollars
from their pockets. Yet from the reaction of these same people to his illness,
it seems they will actually mourn the passing of this hoodlum.
But, believe it or not, Arafat and I agree on some pretty salient
points. Recall that he claimed the murder of Rehavam Zeevi was not his doing,
and that the order came from Damascus. That was my conclusion. We just differ
on the motive. Zeevi threatened to expose Shimon Peres to the nation. Peres
used his French intelligence contacts to arrange the hit through their
organization, the PFLP, headquartered in Damscus.
Recall also that the PFLP chief, George Habash fell ill and flew to
Paris for treatment under the auspices of Francois Mitterand. Arafat
watchers, recoil! Habash didn't last long after that.
But in all fairness to the "Rais," let's examine some of his claims
more closely.
Regarding weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists, Arafat said, "These
weapons could be obtained only from high authorities with great influence on
the Israeli side." (Jerusalem Post, March 22, 1996)
"An unholy conspiracy of Israeli 'fanatics', who are members of a shadowy
group of ex-IDF people called 'OAS', and Moslem extremists were behind [the
Feb.1996] suicide bombings, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat told
foreign diplomats...Arafat is known to have said last year, before [Ehud]
Barak became [Israel's] foreign minister, that 'Barak is one of the big bosses
of the OAS'..." (Jerusalem Post, Feb.27, 1996)
Referring to the Arab terrorist attack in Beit Lid, in which 22 Israelis
were killed, and other attacks in 1995, Arafat said, "I have evidences that
these terrorist activities have been done through coordination between these
fanatic Islamic groups and some elements on the Israeli side." (Washington
Post, May 2, 1995)
"PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, in interviews published yesterday, accused IDF
troops of aiding the spread of arms in the territories in a plot to create
chaos in Palestinian self-rule areas...'This weapons trade is being carried
out under the auspices of some Israeli officers in the West Bank and Gaza.
This is part of a wicked plan'..." (Jerusalem Post, Feb. 18 & Feb. 19,
1994)
From Rabbi katz's website
"21 November, 2000
Document: Complete text of Barak Government “white paper” on PA/PLO
non-compliance "
Conspiracy Theories and Miscalculations
Another recurrent pattern which does color Arafat's judgement, at times -
and was certainly evident in the manner in which he "explained" the current
crisis to the Emergency Session of the Arab Summit - is his tendency to weave
conspiracy theories (Mu'amarat) and use them, with a thin line separating fact
from fiction.
Thus - as an example - in a series of interviews in March and April 1995,
including a fascinating meeting with a sympathetic Israeli and American
audience, Arafat raised the argument that a secret Israeli organization - an "O.A.S."
within the GSS... - working through the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,
was in fact responsible for a series of terrorist attacks such as the bombing
in Beit Lid (in which 22 Israelis died). It should be noted that this
fantastic argument came (already then) in conjunction with a warning: any
attempt by Israel to stall on the peace process - because of the security
"excuse", as he saw it - would have a terrible affect on Israel's standing in
the world:- "
--
ict.org.il
Indeed, far from blaming and condemning Hamas, Arafat absolved Hamas of
responsibility for the bombings. During the wave of suicide bombings in
February 1996, he claimed that a group of former Israeli soldiers known as
“OAS” had provided the bombs to the terrorists; and that Israel’s Foreign
Minister Ehud Barak had previously secretly served as the head of “OAS.”[62]
Jerusalem Post, Feb. 27, 1996
Regarding weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists, Arafat said, "These
weapons could be obtained only from high authorities with great influence on
the Israeli side." (Jerusalem Post, March 22, 1996)
The OAS was the French security agency responsible for keeping France in
Algeria during the '50s and early '60s. Arafat believes a similar organization
is working hand in hand with radical Arab groups spreading terror to promote
its agenda. I have come to the exact conclusion. The name of this OAS is the
Shabak, short for General Security Services.
Where Arafat can't overcome his narrow worldview is his belief that
this OAS is trying to weaken the "peace" process. Quite the opposite. It is
trying to strengthen its version of "peace" by eliminating the settler
movement through terror. Until the first Jewish residents of Gaza are forcibly
expelled from their homes, this unholy alliance of Shabak and extremist Arabs
will continue its campaign of murder. And it will continue to continue, until
the last vestiges of religiosity are removed from their Sabbataian state.
Note that he claims Ehud Barak was the head of this OAS. Actually,
Barak was head of military intelligence, which works without cross purposes
with the Shabak. Arafat's refusal to accept any offer made to him by Barak at
Camp David, thus, came from a complete distrust of
Ehud Barak.
Again, I couldn't agree with Arafat more.

Strong reactions to my last article. Let us recall the discovery of German
writer Michael Hesemann:
Who discovered Hitler? Who made him the German evil messiah?
One man: Rudolf von Sebottendorff, founder of the "Thule Society" which had a
political branch, the German Workers Party (DAP), which was later renamed in
"National Socialist German Workers (or Labour) Party". It was already in
existence when they found Hitler, recruited him because of his rhetoric skills
and fanaticism.
Sebottendorff, a born German, went to Turkey as a young man and indeed became
a Turkish citizen. He got interested in occultism and was initiated by an old
Jew of the Termudi family in Bursa/Turkey. This old Jew knew the Kabbala,
collected alchemistic and Rosicrucian writings. When he died, he bequeathed
his library to Sebottendorff. Sebottendorff joined the Turkish Freemasonary.
His lodge supported the revolution of the "Young Turks" under Kemal Atartuk.
When he returned to Germany, he was an antisemite and co-founder of the
"Teutonic Order" ("Germanenorden"), of which the Thule Society was a branch.
So in this man we have a link between Turkey, Turkish Jews, Young Turks,
German Antisemites and the Nazis. You were right: It all begun in Turkey. May
I assume that Sebottendorffs old teacher, Mr. Termudi, was a Sabbataian?
Here are the responses of two of my readers:
Of course, Sebottendorffs name has the same shoresh as Shabat or Shabatai
or Shabataian.
Mark
Dear Barry , Interesting ! But you missed the most obvious link -
Sebbatten-dorff { strange name... } probably means " village of the
Sabbatians " . E. M.
To which Hesemann replies:
Very well possible, since Rudolf von Sebottendorff was born as Rudolf
Glauer and "received" the new name in Turkey... allegedly by adoption,
although this is not sure. His full new name was "Sebottendorff von der Rose"
(of the Rose)...
Now some strong evidence backing the Samir Nakash claim that the Labor
Zionists were prepared to sacrifice the lives of Sephardic Jews to force them
to emigrate to their new state:
Hi Barry,
Did you see this article yet about how the CIA
strongly advised President Truman against supporting
the Partition plan of 48?
More interestingly in this article from Haaretz is
quote from the CIA that...
""In the event of partition," the CIA report
cautioned, "the lives of the million Jews throughout
the Arab world (including Palestine) will be
imperiled. The lower element in the population would
look forward to attacks on Jewish quarters because of
the excellent opportunity for looting - as illustrated
at the time of the Baghdad revolt in 1941 when the
Jewish quarter was attacked. A representative of the
Jewish Agency has stated that in the event of
partition the 400,000 Jews in the Arab states outside
Palestine may have to be sacrificed in the interest of
the Jewish community as a whole."
.....The last sentence....ON RECORD... "the 400,000
Jews in the Arab states outside Palestine may have to
be sacrificed"
Isn't this black and white proof now of what you have
been saying (in addition to all your other facts)
**
IT'S RABIN WEEK AGAIN
This has been the busiest Rabin week in years with all the
ceremonies and lies less than subtly being used to strengthen the campaign to
remove the Jews from Gush Katif. I was invited to appear on a popular and hip
youth show called Exit. The producers were fine to me. But, as I predicted to
them, I'll be banned. Two days before the broadcast, Channel Ten banned my
appearance.
But the same night, Rabin's Hebrew memorial day, Oct. 27, a popular
radio host Shmulik Tayar invited me on his equally popular radio show. Joining
me was a representative from the Rabin Center For Peace and 10 teenagers from
left wing youth movements. I was uncompromising in my version of events and
honest, I won everyone over a bit. I must have been good. I was told I was
really slandered in the Hebrew press the next day.
On Saturday, the Rabin memorial rally was held in Tel Aviv. On stage
was a host of musical has-beens. More interesting was who wasn't onstage:
Gal-On Cancels Participation in Rabin Memorial Event
16:15 Oct 24, '04 / 9 Cheshvan 5765
(IsraelNN.com) MK (Yahad) Zahava Gal-On has sent a letter to Rabin
Center officials, informing them she will not be participating in this week’s
main event in observance of the ninth anniversary of the assassination of
Yitzhak Rabin.
Gal-On angrily told Galei Tzahal Radio that she rejects the reasoning that
political
addresses are being banned from the event, since “the assassination was a
political
murder and this must not be denied”. Gal-On expressed her disapproval of the
decision
by Dalia Rabin not to permit opposition leader Shimon Peres address the
memorial event,
insisting the political realities that surrounded the murder must be realized
and cannot
be ignored.
That's right. Rabin's daughter Dahlia refused to invite Shimon Peres
to address the
assembly. . Instead, he had to hastily assemble his own memorial service, with
a group
gathered from Labor Zionist youth groups.
Yes, it's true. The Rabin family knows all too well that Shimon Peres
organized the
murder of Yitzhak Rabin and he is now persona non grata at their memorial
events.
On Wednesday the 3rd, the evening before the anniversary of the
assassination, a
much more important event than that silly rally in Tel Aviv will take place.
Join us to
commemorate the lost truth:

Today's Israeli Atmosphere:
On Oct. 26, 04, The Knesset will decide the fate of Gaza...it thinks. After
withdrawal was voted down twice by his own party, Sharon will keep on looking
for a way to make his plan, at least, carry the remotest vestiges of
democratic legitimacy. The difference in the vote will be the 14 Arab seats,
which means that the country's enemies will determine Gaza's fate.
Sharon is turning down the idea of a national mandate on the withdrawal and
I'm glad. This saves us watching the oppression of the Labor Zionist media, as
it bombards the public with lurid anti-settler images. And it saves us the
Labor Zionists springing violent sting operations aimed at smearing the
religious, Right or anyone who would not support the withdrawal. One possible
sting would be a repeat of the Rabin murder, only this time the patsy would
aim at Sharon.
The change in atmosphere from a facade of liberalism to genuine fascism is
nearly complete. One example: I have a marvelous marketing tool. I sell my
books at appropriate political demonstrations. It works like a charm every
time and the media and Shabak mostly ignore me. This year Channel One news
broadcast some of the items from my table, stopping just short of calling the
police to arrest this inciter. Then, for the full length of the rally, I had a
Shabak agent dressed as a "settler" sit beside me, disrupting my sales until I
told him to "shut your mouth."
And the "service" photographed me all evening. Next rally, I'm taking a camera
to photograph the agents. Then I'll publicize the shots to help identify the
spies in our midsts.
REACTIONS TO THE NEW BOOK
by Barry Chamish
It had been three years since Save Israel!, my last book. I had forgotten
the immediate reaction that comes with a new publication. It has only been two
weeks since my new book, Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism And The Holocaust, has
been in the hands of people, and look at the reader reaction already!
It was a late night call from a woman who finished the book that day.
"How did you miss the murder of Samir Nakash?" she demanded to know.
My reaction was yours. "Who?" I asked.
"Nakash exposed the biggest secret of Iraqi Jewry in a film called Forget
Baghdad. He claimed that in the late 1940s, Labor Zionists had bribed the
Iraqi President to ignite pogroms and force the Jews to flee to Israel. He
explained that, at the time, Zionism was marginal amongst Iraqi Jews. In fact,
communism was the strongest political force. So almost no one was interested
in making aliyah to Israel. That would change with a few trumped up charges
against Jews, a few pogroms and a few public hangings. The payoff was great;
the Iraqi leadership confiscated all Jewish properties and assets and earned
billions of dollars in today's terms.
"Three months after the film was released, Nakash was dead. And I don't
believe it was natural death. Your book finally exposed some of the secret
wars being fought against Sephardic communities, but you barely scraped the
service.
"You think taking away the land from Gush Katif is something new? Look
what the Labor Zionists did to my people, the Bucharim. We came from Buchara
in the 1880s, not out of Zionism, it didn't exist then, but out of pure love
of Israel. We acquired land because we were there before the Zionists and in
the 1920s, they stole it from us. The British raised municipal taxes so high,
that the Bucharim were forced to sell their land. The Labor Zionists didn't
want Orthodox Jews owning anything. The land they stole is half the real
estate of downtown Jerusalem today, and the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv.
We should be the aristocrats of Israel, but we were impoverished by the
British and the Jewish Agency."
We discussed an issue many readers of the new book find unsettling.
What was the role of Rabbi Avraham Kook in changing the religious status quo
of Jerusalem? Kook was tied to Lord Balfour and Chaim Weizmann. During World
War 1, he was in London holding meetings with them. After the war, the British
Mandate "approved" Ha Rav Kook as the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Under his
watch, the lootings took place. But did he sanction them?
One reader decided to examine the issue and determine if Rabbi Kook
was Sabbataian. The following passage is a bit lengthy but it's important. Can
you determine HaRav Kook's attitude to Shabtai Tzvi from it?
Rav Kook on Sabbatianism from
'Post Sabbatian Sabbatianism'
====================

Between the two world wars, there roamed the streets of Jerusalem a
man who made a nuisance of himself, pestering the populace that he was the
Messiah.
Finally the “Messiah” was brought to the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Rav Kook
asked to meet with the deranged man alone. After a few moments with Rav Kook,
the “Messiah” never again boasted his claim.
Sometime later Rav Kook revealed what produced such a wondrous effect. “I told
him: ‘The truth is, there is a spark of Messiah in every Jew. You obviously
have received an especially large endowment. But the quality of the spark is
such that it works only as long as one does not speak of it to others.’”
Unlike many Orthodox thinkers, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook did not shy
away from the subject of Sabbatianism. His published works reveal a more than
fleeting interest in the entire Sabbatian phenomenon, from the initial impetus
of Messianic activity surrounding the person of Shabbetai Zevi, to the Hayyon
and Emden-Eybeschütz controversies, to that Polish offshoot of Sabbatianism,
Frankism. This interest extends to both the external, historical, as well as
internal, philosophical and psychological aspects. Rav Kook is even willing to
rebut the author of ‘Or la-Yesharim ‘s comparison of Herzlian political
Zionism to Sabbatianism.
In one of his earliest published essays, Derekh ha-Tehiyah, which translates
into English as, “The Way of Renascence,” Rav Kook casts all human history,
and specifically Jewish history, as a tug of war between the forces of
learning and intellect on the one hand and the currents of psyche and charisma
on the other. In general, Rav Kook views the various pseudomessianic movements
that plagued the Jewish People in exile, and Shabbetai Zevi and Jacob Frank in
particular, as eruptions of the soulful side of the collective Jewish
personality. He refers to Zevi and Frank en passant as he attempts to put
Hasidism in perspective:
Hasidism too came out of the demand of the psychic current that lay dormant.
After the unsuccessful attempt of the latest false Messiah, Shabbetai Zevi,
who lowered the psychic current to the level of insanity and wicked
intoxication, and that culminated in all of its apostasy in the semi-official
false Messiah Frank and his entourage—after all these, there was great
apprehension lest the nation totally revile any vestige remaining to it of the
hidden power of the living psychic currents, and revert to repetition of the
letters and observance of the deeds, the commandments and the customs with a
bent back and broken heart. (If that were the case) eventually the nation
would not be able to survive for lack of freshness and upliftment of the soul.
This thing was felt by the great personality of the fathers of Hasidism, in
which the godly psychic current was alive.
The approach to Sabbatianism is ambivalent. It may best be summed up by the
advice of the Talmud regarding renegade Jews: “Push away with the left hand
and bring close with the right.” Condemnatory of the excesses of Sabbatianism,
the mental instability of its founder, and the self-imposed apostasy (nokhriyut
) of his spiritual grandson Frank, Rav Kook at once acknowledges the kernel of
redeeming value in all this lunacy—a hankering for vital, existential, as
opposed to rote, religion.
This “ambidexterity” will be Rav Kook’s approach to various chapters in Jewish
history, whether it be the Christianity of Jesus of Nazareth, the pantheism of
Baruch Spinoza7, or the Zionism of Theodore Herzl. Those who have criticized
Chief Rabbi Kook for his support of and involvement in the Zionist movement,
have too often failed to notice that the posture vis-`a-vis Zionism is but the
most recent application of Rav Kook’s historical method.
Convinced of the essential godliness of the Jewish People, he is forever
seeking to glean meaning from the aberrant and absurd. This posture of
attempting to uncover hidden good in the ostensibly evil, is itself
reminiscent of Sabbatian theology, thus exposing Rav Kook to unfair attack,
when in truth, this paradoxical outlook precedes Sabbatianism, having its
source in Zoharic and Lurianic Kabbalah.
Rabbi Kook is definitely no Sabbatian9. He points out to his correspondent
Samuel Alexandrov the folly of considering the present decrepit world order
the future of which it is said, “The commandments will be null in the
future10,” citing as an example of this fool’s paradise the experiments of the
Sabbatians “sunk into the depth of evil.”
He is not loath to point out to Rabbi Yahia Kafah of San’a that the book he
quotes from,’Oz le-Elohim by Nehemiah Hiyya Hayyon, is an heretical work by a
Sabbatian.
It is also not beyond Rav Kook to display empathy and understanding for Rabbi
Jacob Emden’s disparagements of certain passages in Zohar, motivated as Emden
was by the desire to undercut the Sabbatians, who to a large degree based
themselves on Zohar.
And while on the subject of Emden’s untiring campaign against crypto-Sabbatians,
let us mention that Rav Kook, when pressed by his personal secretary Simon
Glitzenstein, revealed what he knew (or thought he knew) of R. Jonathan
Eybeschütz’s youthful ensnarement by the Sabbatian heresiarch Löbele Prossnitz.
Abutting all this, Rav Kook knows the mysterious light, the pathetic, yet
unredeemed sparks that beckon to us from fallen Messiahs.
. . . mysteries of Torah that as a result of their influence on those who
delved into them without the proper preparation, have come to be rejected and
abused. From this very light of life, from which improper influences produce
world catastrophe and peril—precisely from it, will sprout eternal salvation.
Alter B.Z. Metzger, English translator of Orot ha-Teshuvah, correctly caught
the veiled reference to Shabbetai Zevi and Frank, who in distorting the
teachings of the Kabbalah, caused them to be reviled by a good portion of
Jewry. But Rav Kook reassures us that these teachings need not produce the
excesses of which Zevi, Frank and their followers were guilty. The potential
for turning the elixir of life into poison, exists on every level of Torah
understanding. All depends on the spiritual preparation (or lack thereof) of
those involved in its study.
Perhaps the most startling of all Rav Kook’s statements concerning the
would-be Messiahs, is the one occurring in the ill-fated ‘Arpilei Tohar 18
(and later in the more widely circulated Orot 19):
. . . the fetuses who stood to be Messiahs but fell, were trapped and broken.
Their sparks were scattered and seek a living, enduring correction (tikkun) in
the foundation of David, King of Israel, “the breath of our nostrils, the
anointed (meshiah) of God.”
While it is not at all clear that Rav Kook includes in his list of
Messiahs-in-potentia the likes of Shabbetai Zevi, perhaps reserving this
distinction for a Bar Kochba revered by Rabbi Akiba, this does not dull the
daring of the thought. That the child born after so many miscarriages (bar
niflei) will encompass in his soul the souls of his stillborn brothers, is
truly remarkable. There is a poetic justice here. None of the unsuccessful
Messiahs’ attempts at redemption were in vein; all contribute in some sense to
the final Redemption.
Finally, for Rav Kook as for—mutatis mutandis—Sabbatians, “the light of Moses”
and “the light of Messiah” are antithetical, being united only at the root of
their souls in the “supernal splendor of Adam” (zihara ‘ila’ah de-adam ha-rishon).
Though Messiah himself is not portrayed by Rav Kook as abrogating Mosaic law,
the entire phenomenon of Messianism is painted in distinctly antinomian tones.
Whereas Torah requires an attitude of shamefacedness and humility, Messiah
thrives paradoxically on shamelessness, chutzpah. And Rav Kook is quite
explicit as to what the chutzpah consists of: Sexuality, fleshliness, and
forsaking Torah. As alarming as all this is, it is well within kabbalistic
tradition that again, predates Shabbetai Zevi. One may find in MaHaRaL of
Prague and SheLaH, and needless to say, in Zohar, similar expressions of the
extralegal origins of Messiah, conceived from the less than immaculate unions
of Lot and his daughters, Jacob and Tamar, Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess, David
and Bathsheba, and Solomon and Na’amah the Amonitess. Yet there is a clarity
and profundity of thought in Rav Kook’s pitting the two traditions, Mosaic and
Messianic, against one another.
What puts Rav Kook decisively beyond the reaches of Sabbatian thought, is his
formulation of a future in which, “once again the ‘supernal splendor of Adam’
will shine through the gathering of the two luminaries that are one, Moses and
Messiah.” Unlike the Sabbatian who revels in the antinomianism of Messianism,
Rav Kook’s ideal is the reunification of two traditions that have grown apart,
the legal tradition of Moses and the extralegal tradition of Messiah.
Whatever his view on Shabtai Tzvi, HaRav Kook devoted much thought
to the man and the issue. He knew a great deal more about the roots of Labor
Zionism than was previously understood. The passage reveals a man too torn
between the good of Judaism and the evil of Sabbataianism, and too willing to
be understanding of the latter.
Onto another controversial religious issue. A few years back I spoke at
the famous 770 headquarters of the Chabad movement in Brooklyn. There were 700
people to hear me and a good ten, maybe twenty of them were provocateurs
trying to violently stop the lecture. First they spread rumors throughout the
crowd, then unplugged the video projector. In the end, the lecture succeeded
because too many fine people wanted to hear me. But I told them, "You had
better stay on guard. Your Chabad movement is really infiltrated." Most seemed
to know it and many took me aside and told me of suspicious events that took
place, even the intended murder of one of their Rav's bodyguards.
I mention this because, the new book inspired still another powerful
observation from the late night caller:
"Look how they got to Chabad in Sydney. I was only there three months
but it was eerie. I had dinner with a prominent religious family there and on
the wall was a picture of a notorious Sabbataian, Yonathan Iveshitz. I'd never
seen that in any Jewish home, anywhere. That week, Hanan Ashrawi came to
Sydney to be awarded a peace prize. Same week, the principle backer of
Chabad's two schools, the Gutnik family, had a sibling battle over money,
bills for the Chabad schools were frozen and the police came and shut them
down. The community wanted to save at least the girl's school and the
condition was that it accept a Reform woman principal. Chabad gave in but the
arrangement didn't work, how could it, and the girl's school was shut down
too. It looks like Chabad has lots of enemies from within in Sydney."
On October 1, I gave a speech at a conference in Italy. A fellow
lecturer was the distinguished German writer Michael Hesemann. We had a lively
dinner discussion and I gave him my new book and the audio CD of the same
name. Here was his reaction to the CD:
Dear Barry,
It was a pleasure to see you again in Italy!
Thanks for your CD and book. I could not resist to listen to your lecture on
my way back over the Alps, when, after crossing the Swiss border, the radio
programme went bad.
Your lecture is highly interesting and I think that I might have found a
highly interesting correlation.
As I told you, I just published a book called "Hitlers Religion", outlining
the occult background of the murderous Nazi ideology. Like Shabtaism,
Hitlerism is purely satanic: It denied compassion, love, life and promoted
cruelty, hate and murder. It was a religion of death - the sheer evil.
Well, where did it come from? Who discovered Hitler? Who made him the German
evil messiah?
One man: Rudolf von Sebottendorff, founder of the "Thule Society" which had a
political branch, the German Workers Party (DAP), which was later renamed in
"National Socialist German Workers (or Labour) Party". It was already in
existence when they found Hitler, recruited him because of his rhetoric skills
and fanaticism.
Sebottendorff, a born German, went to Turkey as a young man and indeed became
a Turkish citizen. He got interested in occultism and was initiated by an old
Jew of the Termudi family in Bursa/Turkey. This old Jew knew the Kabbala,
collected alchemistic and Rosicrucian writings. When he died, he bequeathed
his library to Sebottendorff. Sebottendorff joined the Turkish Freemasonary.
His lodge supported the revolution of the "Young Turks" under Kemal Atartuk.
When he returned to Germany, he was an antisemite and co-founder of the
"Teutonic Order" ("Germanenorden"), of which the Thule Society was a branch.
So in this man we have a link between Turkey, Turkish Jews, Young Turks,
German Antisemites and the Nazis. You were right: It all begun in Turkey. May
I assume that Sebottendorffs old teacher, Mr. Termudi, was a Sabbataian?
Give me your opinion!
Greetings from Germany,
Shalom, Mike

Michael Hesemann's response inspired me. My two hour CD, also called
Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism And The Holocaust, is the natural companion for
the book of the same name. Let me try an experiment until the next article.
I'll offer both in one package for $30. or 80 shekels to anyone who writes me
at chamish@netvision.net.il
And now the announcement my Israeli readers have all been waiting for:
This year's conference, called REINVESTIGATING THE RABIN MURDER will be held
at Bet Agron, on Agron St. in Jerusalem on Wed. Nov. 3. The English program
will be from 4-6 with presentations by me and Yaacov Verker. Please arrive at
3:30 so we can start on time.
The Hebrew program will include half hour speeches by Adir Zik,
Dr. David Chayen and Prof. Hillel Weiss, all moderated by Prof. Aryeh Zaritsky.
New will be a presentation by Prof. Uri Milstein on Rabin's character and how
it led to his downfall.
At precisely 8:00 I will give my 90 minute lecture in Hebrew. At
9:30, a distinguished panel of objective and Left wing jurists will discuss if
they now believe there was a murder conspiracy from within his own party which
killed Yitzhak Rabin.
Agreeing to sit on this jury so far are: Yoni Ariel, Editor,
Ma'ariv International, Dr. Ephraim Rausch, a physician and expert on hypnosis
and mind control, and Prof. Michael Harseger, the historian who first proposed
the conspiracy, but speculated that the murderers were from the Right. We'll
see if we can't get him to admit they was not.
FINALLY: This year, NO ADMISSION CHARGE. You can show up without booking, but
space is limited to 100 people per session. To assure a place, write rb@rb.org.il
or call Yaacov Verker at 050 5205591.
As always, my books Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin, Israel Betrayed, The Last Days
Of Israel. and Save Israel!, as well as my videos and CDS, The Dirty Secrets
Of Oslo, and Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin are available by writing me at

October 13, 2004 - THE SABBATAIAN GAZA AGENDA
(Before we begin the formal article, I must report some disturbing news.
My site, http://www.barrychamish.com is down. When the high holidays ended
six days ago, I checked my site and it wasn't there. I called the technical
department at my server, Bezeq International and I was assured that the
problem was being dealt with. That is the excuse I have been given every day
for almost a week. Today I threatened the customer services department with a
law suit if my site doesn't return immediately. I explained that I sell my
books through that site and the effect of its loss was turning disastrous
since my new book, Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism And The Holocaust, was just
released and no one could order it without my site up. As usual, I was told
the problem was being worked on. Please contact Bezeq and demand that my site
be returned. You can e-mail them through their site at
http://www.bezeq.co.il
or call their customer services dept. in Israel at 1800 101 101)
Now on with the report:
Poor confused Israelis just can't understand why their chosen leader is
so determined to pull the Jews out of Gaza. Even the Left doesn't believe the
move will bring peace or improve security. Even they see it as a unilateral
surrender to terror which threatens the unity of the nation.
Only a very deep, hidden agenda could possibly explain Sharon's
insistence on a plan that may well lead to a Jewish civil war. Once again I
will try to expose this agenda but it will prove too fantastic for the small
minds of Israel to grasp.
Israel's powerbrokers are the descendants of the false prophet Shabtai
Tzvi, who, on June 18, 1666, in Gaza declared that he was the Messiah
of the Jews. The vision he presented was of an anti-Judaism in which the
Torah's sins were transformed into good deeds. Most of the world's Jews bought
into the lie but abandoned Tzvi when he was force-converted to Islam. However,
a Turkish sect called the Donmeh kept his movement alive and it spread through
Europe a century later led by one Jacob Frank. Through an alliance with the
illuminati in 1785, Sabbataianism spread its tentacles throughout the world's
halls of power.
Gaza has enormous significance to the Sabbataians as revealed in the
following book review:
The Forward has this wonderful review
by Allan Nadler of The Sabbatean Prophets
by Matt Goldish. (Harvard University Press, 240 pages, $39.95.)
The following dire, revolutionary proclamation issues forth from a charismatic
provocateur in Gaza:
'None will be saved from these tribulations except those dwelling in this
place. The [very] name of the place [connoting strength] expresses her nature.
And with the advent of her redemption, strength will spread and the people of
Gaza will act in this strength.'
The response of the leader of the Gazans' enemy, both to this message and to
those Jews residing in Gaza, is to remind them that Gaza is a place unworthy
of triggering apocalyptic violence, since it is 'technically outside the
borders of the [biblical] Land of Israel.'
At the same time, in a nearby Arab country, classified information, laden with
potentially devastating secrets, is conveyed via a shady Middle Eastern
businessman named Chelebi.
The latest news from Israel and Iraq? Hardly!
The proclamation from Gaza was issued not by a leader of Hamas, but rather by
the 17th-century Jewish kabbalist Nathan of Gaza, who in 1665 became the major
prophet of the infamous false messiah from Izmir, Shabbetai Zevi. The
proclamation's rebuke was not part of Ariel Sharon's argument for evacuating
Jewish settlers from Gaza, but of a ruling by Rabbi Jacob Sasportas, the most
outspoken and tireless opponent of the Sabbatean messianic outbreak. And the
Chelebi in question was not the now-disgraced White House confidant, Ahmed
Chalabi, but rather Raphael Chelebi, an Egyptian Jewish businessman who was
the first outsider to whom Nathan of Gaza revealed the 'secret' that the
messiah had arrived. . . .
Best yet, this is not fiction.
The Gaza withdrawal is not the first time the Sabbataians and their
allies have thoroughly disrupted nations, not by a longshot:

Frankist agents acted in times of French
Revolution, like Moses Dobruchka
who entered the Jacobines as
Junius Frey and ascended to the top of
Freemasonry. Many of the Frankist saw Napoleon
Bonaparte as a potential Messiah.

Sabbatai,
through Frank,
is credited by some serious scholars with not only setting in motion the
events leading to the emergence of the Conservative and Reform branches of
Judaism, but also with fomenting the Turkish, French and even American
revolutions.

Frank kept Sabbateanism alive and ended its tribalism, opening its
adherents to the world outside Judaism. Sabbateanism become Frankism was one
of the most important of the 18th century movements which freed man. The great
revolution in consideration, [the Turkish revolution], and the French and
American revolutions sprang from his loins.
Prof. Harris Lenowitz The Sayings of Yakov Frank.
The following potted history comes from an incredibly dangerous
website whose aim is to openly and publicly revive Sabbataianism:
The Jewish mystic and messiah, Sabbatai
Zevi (1626-76), referred to by the abbreviated title of
Amirah by his followers, was born in Smyrna (now Izmir), Turkey.
Sabbatai's first teacher was the Gadol Reb. Isaac di Alba, a member of the
Bais Din in Smyrna with whom he studied Kabbalah
beginning in 1650. After six years under Master Isaac, Sabbatai continued his
studies under the illustrious R. Joseph Eskapha, author of "Rosh Yosef" and a
leading halakhist of his time. He most probably gave Sabbatai smicha and the
rabbinical title of hakham ("wise" or "sage") when the latter was still an
adolescent.
By 1648 Sabbatai showed signs of what modern scholars (who are caught up in
the reductionist materialism worldview)
claim to be manic-depressive psychosis. In
other words, strange behavior and violations of religious law, and proclaimed
himself the Messiah. Expelled from Smyrna around 1651-54, he wandered through
Greece, Thrace, Palestine, and Egypt. In 1665 he met the charismatic
Nathan of Gaza, who persuaded him that he
was indeed the Messiah. Sabbatai Zevi then formally revealed himself, named
1666 as the millennium, and soon gained fervent support in Palestine and the
Diaspora. It is important to realize that the entire Jewish world of 1665-66
believed that Sabbatai was no mere "prophet" or "teacher" but the Promised
Messiah and a living incarnation of God.
It was the only messianic movement to engulf the whole of Jewry; from England
to Persia, from Germany to Morocco, from Poland to the Yemen.
Sabbatai attempted to land in Constantinople in 1666, but was captured and
imprisoned by the Turkish authorities in 1666. He converted to
Islam, supposedly to escape execution,
although Nathan and his other followers put a different interpretation on
this. Sabbatai's apostasy actually represented the descent into the
klippotic realm in order to reclaim the
lost sparks of light. Many of his followers converted likewise. Sabbatai -
who, like Meher Baba and
Max Theon was called "The Beloved" by his
followers - may have had close relations with the
Sufis. He died in exile in Ulcinj (in what is now Montenegro, part
of the federation of Serbia and Montenegro). The Sabbatean movement was
revived in the 18th century by Jacob Frank.
Thousands of Sabbatian Believers all over the world, but particularly in Asia
Minor, still secretly worship him as such under the guise of either Islam or
Christianity.
Many Christian readers have pointed out to me that their
scriptures prophesize the emergence of Shabtai Tzvi of Smyrna and accurately
describe the perfidies of his followers:
Revelations: 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelations: 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art
rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not,
but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
And even one noted modern Israeli writer, Elyakim Haetzni has
made the connection:
The dictatorship of Sharon not only forebodes the end of the settlements,
God forbid, but also poses a threat to the security of Israel. Like the Golem
of Prague when it got out of control, he tramples everything underfoot.
Everything has been overturned: suddenly, he is a friend to Kofi Annan, is
enthralled by the Arabs, and praises Javier Solana, the European whose hatred
for us drips from him. As in the case of Shabtai Zvi, suddenly what was
forbidden is permitted, the fast of Tisha B'Av becomes a feast.
Sadly, however, the vast majority of Israelis choose to remain
aloof from deep plots and attribute superficial and wrong motives to Sharon's
Gaza policy. Even more sadly, they don't have much time left to get smart.

My new book Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism And The Holocaust
sorts out the anomalies and makes sense of the Gaza pullout and the whole
"peace" process foisted on Israel. It traces and proves the incredible damage
done to the Jewish people by their Sabbataian rulers. It is 247 pages in
length and I'm asking $25 for readers outside Israel (including the $5
postage) and 70 shekels within Israel where postage is barely a factor in the
price. You may order by writing me at
chamish@netvision.net.il
or within Israel just call 08 975 2937.
Under separate cover I'm sending the front and back covers of the new book as
attachments. The front cover, beautifully created by Zipporah Perlman, shows
Shabtai Tzvi annointing his current representative on earth, Shimon Peres. To
read the back cover, zoom in 200%. I chose to minimize bytes by reduction. I
sent the attachment to myself and it took seven seconds to send. I don't think
it will burden your system.
