Dare we reorder our lives under God? Around this old quote from Socrates, recommending and teaching us “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Lamentations 3:40-42

1. The Jewish People bear full responsibility for the Torah curse of Amalek – understood through the ערב רב which lacked ‘יראת אלהים’, as the basis for the Golden Calf interpretation of the 2nd Sinai Commandment. The Torah curse of g’lut has its Amalek antisemitism consequences.
   The Torah brit obligation of Blessing Curse defines Amalek antisemitism throughout the 2000+ years of לא לשמה cursed Jewish g’lut. Jewish assimilation to foreign cultures customs and manners, coupled with intermarriage defines the wisdom k’vanna of the 2nd Sinai commandment. Goyim simply the reactionary consequences of g’lut Jewry worshipping Av tuma avoda zarah.
   When an institution claims a monopoly on ultimate truth, governance undergoes a fundamental shift. Legal status tied directly to ideological alignment. Populations divided into a caste system: orthodox (the inner circle), the tolerated/subjugated: dhimmi stateless Jewish refugees – European land restriction during an Agricultural based economy where crops produced national wealth.
   The legal apparatuses designed to root out “heresy” established administrative precedents for state surveillance, ideological tribunals, and mandatory public alignment. Laid the deep cultural and institutional groundwork upon which 19th-century “scientific” racial anti-Semitism built and stands upon to this day. The failure to intervene during catastrophic moral crises often stems from cold geopolitical calculation rather than mere ignorance. While Leo Tolstoy denounced the horrific 1903 Kishinev pogrom and CS Lewis explicitly condemned Nazi racism and Hitler’s persecution of the Jews as early as 1933 in his private correspondence and published works (such as The Pilgrim’s Regress); arguing that Western civilization owed its fundamental moral concepts directly to Israel – their rebukes had little or no effect.
   When secular political ideologies—such as totalitarian collectivism or radical ethno-nationalism—adopt the totalizing, non-negotiable structures of dogmatic belief, they replicate the same mechanisms of forced conformity, purging of “heretics,” and mass violence. The structure of dogmatic belief—whether religious or secular—creates a template for totalitarianism, where “heresy” (dissent or difference) justifies purification, segregation, and mass violence.
   Religious institutions, when fused with state power, transform theological categories into tools of governance: Michel Foucault argued that power operates through “regimes of truth”, where institutions define what qualifies as “normal” or “deviant.” Reinhold Niebuhr held that religious absolutism, when unchecked by humility, can justify violence as “moral necessity.” Elie Wiesel stated that the Shoah, not just a failure of humanity but a failure of theology—when God’s silence was interpreted as permission for evil; effectively saying “Where was JeZeus during the Shoah or Allah during the ’48 & ’67 Nakba — Nietzsche ‘God is Dead’ philosophy which denounced the whole of both religious institutional belief in their “idol” Gods.
   Both Stalinism, Nazism, and Maoism made absolute claims possessing a monopoly on truth. The Nazis converted “historical truth” unto “racial purity”, effectively defines the premise: Thought Crimes of heresy – from the Church concealing the ancient Greek polytheistic texts of philosophy to Pol Pot, Pinochet dictatorships consequent to Kissinger/Nixon great power imperialism. The modern Surveillance State simply replaces confession booths and kapo informants. Orwell’s 1984 directly addresses the concept of “thought crimes”. Dehumanized Jews as “Christ-killers” (John Chrysostom’s homilies), economic scapegoating (usury laws, guild exclusions), eschatological violence (Crusades, blood libels) etc. By these fruits produced later generations of hatred without cause.
   Martin Luther’s On the Jews and Their Lies (1543), often cited as a precursor to Nazi rhetoric. Xtian anti-Judaism created a cultural template model which later morphed into Hitlers’ modern bureaucratic efficiency and pseudoscientific racism. Bolshevism, Nazism, and even post WWII UN – replicate religious structures. All had their “sacred texts, despised heretics such as Stalin’s “kulaks”, and public show trials to purge the Party! The Soviet gulag and Boar War concentration camps set the stage for Auschwitz.
   The Inquisition served as a classic—purifying the body politic of “corruption” or “contagion;” similar to the Black Plague slander: “the Jews poisoned the wells”…ideological purity codes double as mechanisms for wealth extraction and state consolidation reappears whenever totalizing political systems operate without institutional checks. Religion used for power coercion, segregation, expulsions, and mass violence; forced conformity; violence framed as “truth” … Xtianity a 2000+ year thought crime against Humanity which reached apex crisis during the Inquisition, 30 Years War, and the Shoah…religious doctrine + centralized power + incentives to remove rivals + fear of revolutionary unrest against the corrupt status quo by peasants enslaved by church authorities who employed their cheap labor to build gross Cathedral abominations of church or mosque injustice against dhimmin minority populations.
   Religious truth-claims repeatedly functioned as an authorized language of governance: when clergy/faith movements merged with centralized state or imperial power, theological categories used to define who belonged, who disloyal, and who could be removed—making coercion, segregation, expulsions, and mass violence easier to justify as moral necessity. The comparison to Bolshevik theology vs Menshevik and Social Revolutionaries counter “theology” smells similar to church heresy stench – such as the slaughter of French Huguenots! The war crimes of the Crusades which slaughtered almost all the Jews in Germany, coupled with the Blood-slander almost every Easter which resulted in pogroms and mass population transfers which post WWII so hardily condemns today!
   Thought-Crimes against Humanity defined through church and mosque theological creeds at the point of a sword. The slaughter of Indian populations across the New World & Pacific by missionaries working with their great power Armies; which plundered South American civilizations such as the Aztec and Inca. The American First Amendment and French ‘Rights of Man’ fundamentally abhorred church + state, or missionary + empire slavery of feudal peasant populations. Citizen Rights + people living in cities rather than upon feudal villages defines the industrial revolution. Church and mosque forced conformity inquisition purity…race, expulsion/segregation, mass violence—control over the “Pravda-press”; salvation “monopoly” defines the 2000+ years of church/mosques thought crimes against Humanity.
   The theology of Luther and Calvin compare to the Great Schism between the Orthodox and Catholic church – both of which claimed inheritance to the revived Roman Empire; the post WWII attempt to stamp “Palestine” upon Judea a harsh example of thought crimes against Humanity. The Shoah, the most powerful example of the Dreyfus Trial racism which infects the disease inherited by Europeans expressed through Church thought crimes. Church and Mosque religious theological fanaticism across medieval and early modern Eurasia and the colonial world, religious truth-claims repeatedly became tools of centralized power, enabling coercion of dissent, forced conformity of minorities, and conquest justified as moral necessity.
   Religious institutions and imperial/state power merged, authorities used theology to delegitimize rivals and define outsiders as threats, making violence and forced conformity easier to authorize and carry out. Guilds in medieval Europe enforced by courts, armies, and property systems, belief and religious identity the primary weapons where religious doctrine functioned as an ideological weapon at the point of a sword. The annual Easter pogroms, taxation without representation, denuded Jews of all their wealth prior to forced mass population transfers England in 1290, France 1306, Germanic kingdoms; the fruits of crushing Par’o like judicial corruption and injustice produced the ghetto gulags of three Centuries duration and the mass population Jewish retreat to the Ukraine and Poland which thereafter witnessed the brutal Cossack revolts!
   Neither the Dreyfus Trial nor the later Shoah occurred in a political vacuum. Attempts to declare the Shoah a Nazi crime ignores the 1939 White Paper and FDR’s closure of the Golden Medina to Jews attempts to flee. The contrast between the FDR policy and pre-WWI welcome of Jewish refugees from the Pale of Russia a day and night difference.
   The Allied refusal to bomb the rail lines leading to the death camps coupled with the Red Army stopping its advance in sight of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt and the post War rat-lines and complicity of Pope Pius XII and Prostestant Luthern Church pro Nazi alignment against the Communists cannot stand exiled and excluded from the contexts of the Big Picture of European historical barbarism.
   Nature/Nurture – genetics did not cause the Shoah. Rather the guilt rests upon the environmental cultural history of European and Muslim great power politics throughout the Ages passed down from generation to generations – straight from their mothers’ milk. Hannah Arendt’s banality of evil (ordinary people, indoctrinated by systems) support’s the “mother’s milk” cultural-historical conditioning metaphor.
   Can faith in God be redeemed? Emphatically NO. Can Herzl’s dream of a Jewish State which righteously pursues righteous judicial justice among the Jewish people within the borders of our homeland, despite Jews being just like Goyim – only more so, define the definition of faith affixed to Sanhedrin common law Federal Courts which practice legislative review over the tribal economic autonomy and statute law Parliament in Jerusalem prosper? Emphatically YES. Why? Because this defines the vision of Zionist self determination.
