District 9

By on 8.18.09 @ 6:02AM

A hard-to-dislike mockumentary from South Africa, of all places.

It’s hard — well, a little bit hard — not to like District 9. This South African mockumentary by Neill Blomkamp manages to keep its audience awake through yet another alien invasion flick by making jokes at the expense of the American-o-centric popular culture — hitherto pretty much the only place where such invasions are known to exist — and by hinting at parallels from South African history. The solemn announcer who, at the beginning and for no good reason gives us the history of the alien presence, hovering above Johannesburg in a space ship so large that it looks like an inverted reflection of the city itself, can’t resist remarking on the surprise the thing occasioned by not appearing over New York or Washington instead. Isn’t that where aliens would naturally want to go? It’s in all the movies. But then it turns out that these aliens are immigrants, not invaders, and their outlandish appearance takes on a racial cast which swiftly results in a return to Apartheid.

As under Apartheid, too, there is no shortage of rationalizing intellectuals, many of whom are paraded before Mr. Blomkamps’s cameras, to explain why these creatures, whom the movie’s humans refer to with the derogatory epithet “prawns” — “You can’t say they don’t look like that,” says one of Mr. Blomkamp’s talking heads — don’t fit in with the rest of society and have to be fenced off in shanty towns that bear an uncomfortable resemblance to those still to be found in South Africa. Though the prawns come from what is obviously a much more technologically advanced society than our own, they are apparently all but helpless here on earth as they huddle in their pathetic shacks and trade whatever they can scrounge to Nigerian gangsters for cat food. One theorist explains their condition in a familiar way by opining that these prawns, found desperate and starving on the mother ship, are “basically the workers” who, inexplicably abandoned by their leaders, have no real intelligence or initiative of their own

At this distance of time from the bad old days, you’ve got to wonder quite what the point is in digging up the carcass of institutionalized racism — the real thing, as opposed to the hysterical fantasies of the race-relations industry in America or Europe — in order to have a few more shots at it. Is there widespread nostalgia in South Africa for segregation by racial classification? White-black-colored-prawn? Possibly there is, but surely there can be no serious prospect of its return? Insofar as Mr. Blomkamp’s movie is a satire, its target is by now much too uncontroversial and easy to attack to be very much worth attacking. That is presumably why the satirical allusions to Apartheid seem, at least at first, to be mostly decorative, lending a bit of atmosphere and local color, while the dramatic gravamen of the film moves on to a story of something not entirely unlike heroism.

This is the other thing that makes the movie almost rise above its comic book provenance to the level of a real movie where such American equivalents as Independence Day (1996) or Signs (2002), mired in their comic-book origins, do not. That, too, may have something to do with its non-American setting, which helps to create a certain sense of dislocation from comic-book land and provides a point of contact with the real world as well as the real world’s social and political problems. On the other hand, the absurdity of the mise-en-scène — which is deliberately exacerbated by such satirical touches as having the aliens look like giant crustaceans hardly adapted to the making and use of tools, let alone the piloting of space ships — is kept in something close to equipoise with the dramatic excitement of the hero’s exploits, instead of being allowed, quite, to overwhelm it.

This hero is Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a clueless Afrikaaner bureaucrat who, through nepotism, is put in charge of a government scheme to relocate the aliens to a camp in the veldt, far from the city. “The people of Johannesburg are going to live happily knowing the prawns are very far away,” says Wikus cheerfully. In the process, however, he becomes contaminated with a prawn science project to manufacture the propellant (“the fluid”) which is required to get their giant space ship moving again, and this causes his DNA to change to the point where he gradually begins to metamorphose into a prawn himself. It’s ridiculous, I know, but the suspension of disbelief is less difficult than you might expect in the quasi-realistic circumstances. The fluid is a bit like the magic potion in a fairy tale that you can take on trust just because everything else isn’t magic as well.

Nor is that the only fairy-tale element. Wikus’s is a kind of male Cinderella story, like that of Gamelyn or Orlando in As You Like It, since he is the despised poor relation who rises above his misfortunes to become a hero. Starting out as one of the film’s bumptious talking heads — “The prawn doesn’t understand the concept of property,” he confidently informs the documentary audience — he learns to sympathize with the aliens’ plight and eventually joins with their leader in the desperate plot to escape from inhospitable earth. This means fighting against the authorities, including his overbearing father-in-law, who were once so patronizing towards him, and it casts him in the role of freedom-fighter according to a familiar narrative, lately of much potency in his homeland and throughout the continent. So that’s good, then, right? Because it takes us back to the satire? No, that’s bad, because the reminder of such serious things contrasts too jarringly with the silliness of everything else. But the movie almost had me going there — which, being stuck here in comic-book land, I consider no small accomplishment.

"Though the prawns .... are apparently all but helpless .... as they huddle in their pathetic shacks and trade whatever they can scrounge to Nigerian gangsters for cat food. One theorist explains their condition in a familiar way by opining that these prawns ..... are 'basically the workers' who, inexplicably abandoned by their leaders, have no real intelligence or initiative of their own."

I must firstly admit to not having seen the film, but did it not occur to Mr Bowman that this exactly describes the current situation in South Africa? To understand this one has only to consider that 'the leaders' referred to in the film may just be an allegory for the black political and economic elite in charge of present day South Africa.

So it's stale pizza is it? Not worth buying, but if it's already in the fridge you may as well have a go?

L. Ross| 8.18.09 @ 11:57AM

I gotta say, if James Bowman said it was a moderately interesting film, it's probably fantastic. He seems to hate anything but art films from Finland.

Speedbump| 8.18.09 @ 1:20PM

I saw the movie, and liked it...it held my interest such that it was ending almost before I knew the time had passed...I haven't been to South Africa since '92 just when apartheid was ending, so I couldn't relate to the current circumstances of the 'townships', that is, if that was the political statement, I didn't relate to it...but the racial implications weren't lost on anyone in the audience...

Manishevitz| 8.19.09 @ 2:06AM

James liked it because Apartheid is so close to his heart. He was jerking off the whole time.

jordan 6 rings | 8.19.09 @ 6:02AM

I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work

Geraldo| 8.19.09 @ 10:23AM

Sheesh! You guys all missed the "black" in the last line of my earlier post, didn't you?

James Bowman| 8.19.09 @ 12:10PM

Manischewitz, I was not "jerking off" in that theater, if you had not been busy "blowing" me, you might have enjoyed the movie.

Jewish Murder Plan Against White Christians Exposed
The Murderous People: The Jews are under a terrible suspicion the world over, and for good reason. Anyone who does not know this, does not understand the Jewish problem. Anyone who merely see the Jews as “a tribe which secures its existence with exchange and old trousers, and whose uniforms are the long noses,” is being misled. But anyone who knows the monstrous accusation which has been raised against the jews since the beginning of time, will view these people in a different light. He will begin to see not only a peculiar, strangely fascinating nation; but criminals, murderers, and devils in human form. He will be filled with holy anger and hatred against these people of Satan. (John 8:44)

The suspicion under which the Jews are held is murder. They are charged with enticing White Christian Children (and sometimes blacks to keep them under control - and if necessary they will run black children down in the streets with automobiles to show the blacks their power, and that the blacks had better mind their manners or the same will happen again and again. We all witnessed this a few years ago in New York city when the car of Rabbi Shneerson ran over a black child. And as usual the Jews bought of the blacks who were inciting the mobs against them; if they had been unsuccessful in this they would have had the blacks who dared not be controlled murdered) and at time White Christian adults, butchering them, and draining their blood. They are charged with mixing this blood into their masses (unleaven bread) and using it to practice superstitious magic. They are charged with torturing their victims, especially the children; and during this torture they shout threats, curses, and cast spells against non-Jews

Ritual Murder
The knowledge of Jewish ritual murder is thousands of years old. It is as old as the Jews themselves. Non-Jews have passed the knowledge of it from generation to generation, and it has been passed down to us thorough writings. It is known of throughout the nation. Knowledge of ritual murder can be found in even the most secluded rural villages. The grand-father told his grand children, who passed it on to his children, and his children’s children, until we have inherited the knowledge today from them.

It is also befalling other nations. The accusation is loudly raised immediately, anywhere int he world, where a body is found which bears the marks of ritual murder. This accusation is raised only against the Jews. Hundreds and hundreds of nations, tribes, and races live on this earth, but no one ever thought to accuse them of the planned murdering of children, or to call them murderers. All nations have hurled this accusation only against the Jews.

And many great men have raised such an accusation. Martin Luther wrote in his book “Of The Jews And Their Lies:”

“They stabbed and pierced the body of the young boy Simon of Trent. They have also murdered other children…The sun never did shine on a more bloodthirsty and revengeful people as they who imagine to be the people of God, and who desire to and think they must murder and crush the heathen. Jesus Christ, the Almighty Preacher from Nazareth, spoke to the Jews: ?Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning…”

“He (Martin Luther) accused them (the Jews) of all those fictitious crimes which had made Europe such a hell for them. He, too, claimed that they poisoned the wells used by Christians, assassinated their Christian patients, and murdered Christian children to procure blood for the Passover. He called on the princes and rulers to persecute them mercilessly, and commanded the preachers to set the mobs on them. He declared that if the power were his, he would take all the leaders of the Jews and tear their tongues out by the roots.” (Stranger than Fiction, p. 249)

The Struggle of Der Sturmer: The only newspaper in Germany, yes, in the entire world, which often screamed the accusation of ritual murder into the Jewish face, was Der Sturmer. For more than ten yeas Der Sturmer led a gigantic battle against Judaism. Which caused Der Sturmer to be under constant attack by the Jews. Dozens of times it has been confiscated and prohibited.

Its workers, most of all its editor Julius Streicher, were dragged into court hundreds of times. They were convicted, punished and locked into prison. Der Sturmer came to know the Jew from the confession which Dr. Conrad Alberti-Sittenfeld, a Jew, wrote in 1899 in No. 12 of the magazine Gesellschaft:

“One of the most dangerous Jewish qualities is the brutal, direct barbaric intolerance. A worse tyranny cannot be practiced than that which the Jewish clique practices. If you try to move against this Jewish clique, they will, without hesitating, use brutal methods to overcome you. Mainly the Jew tries to destroy his enemy in the mental area, by which he takes his material gain away, and undermines his civil existence. The vilest of all forms of retaliation, the boycott, is characteristically Jewish.”

The Der Sturmer was not stopped for several years. Just in Nuremberg alone there have been fought dozens of Talmudic and ritual murder cases in the courts. (Now you know why the Nuremberg trials were held against the German Military leaders, it was retribution by the Jews on their hated enemies the Germans). Because of the Jewish protests the attention of the world was focused on these cases. Thereafter heavy convictions followed. At first no judge had the courage to expose the Jewish problem. Finally in 1932 (court case lasting from October 30th to November 4th) Der Sturmer won its first victory. The jury found the following:

Der Sturmer was not fighting against the Jewish religion; but against the Jewish people.
The Talmud and Schulchan aruch are not religious books. They have no right to be protected under the religious paragraphs.
The laws of the Talmud which are quoted and published in Der Sturmer are exact quotations from the Talmud.
The laws of the Talmud are in harsh contradiction to German morals.
The Jews of today are being taught from the Talmud.
With this verdict Der Sturmer brought about the first big breach in the Jewish/Roman Administration of Justice, which was given the job before the National Socialist revolution to protect Judaism and its government. The jews, of course, became greatly agitated about this. But for De Sturmer this success was an omen of the victory yet to come. Of course, Der Sturmer did not stop half way. It knew what had to be done. It was their duty, or so they believed. To frustrate the gigantic murder plot of Judaism against humanity. It was their duty! To brand this nation before the world, to uncover its crimes and to render it harmless. It was their duty! To free the world from this national pest and parasitic race. Der Sturmer would fulfill its mission. It would, for a time, light up the darkness with the truth which shall eventually rule the world. And it would always direct itself according to the following proverb: “He who knows the truth and does not speak it truly is a miserable creature.”

The Laws of The Talmud: If one wishes to learn and understand why the Jews can commit such insane crimes as ritual murder, they must know the Jewish secrets. They must know the teachings of the Torah (The Talmud), and the Schulchan aruch. These laws and teachings are proof that the Jews feel themselves superior to all nations, that it has declared war on all other races, and that it is the sworn enemy of the whole of non-Jewish humanity. Even Tactius, the Roman historian who lived shortly after Christ (55-120) A.D.) wrote:

“The Jews are a race that hate the gods and mankind. Their laws are in opposition to those of all mortals. They despise what to us is holy. Their laws condone them in committing acts which horrify us.” (Historian V. 3-8)

The Jew knows that when the non-Jewish world knows his laws and sees through his plans that he is lost. Therefore, by threat of death he forbids their translation and publication. A well known Jewish scholar (Dibre David) writes:

“If the Gentiles (non-Jews) knew what we are teaching against them, they would kill us.”

The Jewish secret laws are based on the fundamental principle which states: Only the Jew is human. In contrast all non-Jews are animals, they are beasts in human form. Anything is permitted against them. The Jew may lie to, cheat and steal from them. He may rape and murder them. There are hundreds of passages in the Talmud which the non-jews are described as animals. Some of them are as follows:

“The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts.” (Talmud: Baba Mezia 114b)
“The Akum (Negro) is like a dog. Yes, the scripture teaches to honor the dog more than the Akum.” (Ereget Raschi Erod. 22
30)
“Even though God created the non-Jew they are still animals in human form. It is not becoming for a Jew to be served by an
animal. Therefore he will be served by animals in human form.” (Midrasch Talpioth, p. 255, Warsaw 1855)
“A pregnant non-Jew is no better than a pregnant animal.” (Coschen Hamischpat 405)
“The souls of non-Jews come from impure spirits and are called pigs.” (Jalkut Rubeni gadol 12b)
“Although the non-Jew has the same body structure as the Jew, they compare with the Jew like a monkey to a human.” (Schene
Luchoth Haberith, p. 250b)
So that the Jew will never forget that he is dealing with animals, he is reminded by eating, by death, and eve by sexual intercourse constantly. For The Talmud teaches:

“If you eat with a non-Jew, it is the same as eating with a dog.” (Tosapoth, Jebamoth 94b)
“If a Jew has a non-Jewish servant of maid who dies, one should not express sympathy to the Jew. You should tell to the Jew:
?God will replace ?your loss,’ just as if one of his oxen or asses had died.” (Jore Dea 377, 1)
“Sexual intercoms between non-Jews is like intercourse between animals.” (Sanhedrin 74b)
It is written in the Talmud about the murder of the non-Jew:

“It is permitted to take the body and the life of a non-Jew.” (Sepher Ikkarim IIIc, 25)
“It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah (Talmud - Sanhedrin 59b). The Christians
belong to the denying ones of the Torah (Talmud).” (Coschen Hamischpat 425, Hagah 425, 5)
“Every Jew, who spills the blood of the godless (non-Jew), is doing the same as making a sacrifice to God.” (Bammidber Raba, c 21 & Jalkut 772)
These laws of the Talmud were given to the Jews over 3000 years ago. They are just as valid today as they were back then. This is how the Jews are taught from childhood. The results of this stands before us. It is Jewish Ritual Murder.

The Jews’ Bloody History: The Jew is not only the murderer of the Christians in theory. His history proves that he practices what he preaches. The history of the Jewish people is an unbroken chain of mass murders and blood-baths. It started before Christ and has continued with Linen, Trotsky, Sinowjeff, Stalin and etc., up to today:

1). The extreme to which the Jews will go was shown in Persia where the Jew Mordecai and the Jewess Esther had 75,800 Persians murdered. They hanged the Persian King Xerxes’ minister Haman along with his ten sons. They celebrated this bloody victory and to this day still celebrate it during the Feast of Purim. (Book of Esther 9:6)

After Christ in the years 115-117, on the island of Cyrene, the Jews revolted under their leader Bar Kochba. They murdered 220,000 Romans, sawed and chopped them, drank their blood, and ate their bloody raw flesh. (Dio Cassius: Roemische Jeschichte XVIII, 32)

The Jews revolted in Russia in 1917 and established bolshevism under the leadership of Trotsky, Sinojeff and other Jews, a total of 35 million Christians were shot, slayed, tortured, and starved to death. In Hungary, under the leadership of the Bolshevik Jew Bela Kuhn, a horrible massacre was prepared in which tens of thousands of Christians were murdered.

“‘The Jewish Establishment”: ‘In the early 1930s, Walter Duranty of the New York Times was in Moscow, covering Joe Stalin the way Joe Stalin wanted to be covered. To maintain favor and access, he expressly denied that there was famine in Ukraine even while millions of Ukrainian Christians were being starved into submission. For his work Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. To this day, the Times remains the most magisterial and respectable of American newspapers. How imagine that a major newspaper had had a correspondent in Berlin during roughly the same period who hobnobbed with Hitler, portrayed him in a flattering light, and denied that Jews were being mistreated, thereby not only concealing, but materially assisting the regime’s persecution. Would that paper’s respectability have been unimpaired several decades later? There you have an epitome of what is lamely called ‘media bias.’ The Western supporters of Stalin haven’t just been excused; they have received the halo of victim hood for the campaign, in what liberals call ‘the McCarthy era,’ to get them out of the government, the education system, and respectable society itself. Not only persecution of Jews but any critical mention of Jewish power in the media and politics is roundly condemned as ‘anti-Semitism.’ But there isn’t even a term of opprobrium for participation in the mass murders of Christians. Liberals still don’t censure the Communist attempt to extirpate Christianity from Soviet Russia and its empire, and for good reason, liberals themselves, particularly Jewish liberals, are still trying to uproot Christianity from America. It’s permissible to discuss the power of every other group, from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power of the Jewish establishment is off-limits. That, in fact, is the chief measure of its power: its ability to impose its own taboos while tearing down the taboos of others, you might almost say its prerogative of offending. You can read articles in Jewish-controlled publications from the Times to Commentary blaming Christianity for the Holocaust or accusing Pope Pius XII of indifference to it, but don’t look for articles in any major publication that wants to stay in business examining the Jewish role in Communism and liberalism, however temperately.” (The Jewish Establishment, Joseph Sobran, September 1995 issue)

In Jewish-Bolshevik Soviet Russia mass murders are even now (1997) are being carried out. The executioners are mostly Jewish men and women. In inventing new methods of torture the Jews are past masters. To let Christians die under torture give them the greatest pleasure. English reporters write that the Chinese executioners frequently would not carry out their tortures and executions; they shouldered and could not continue. Therefore, Jews and Jewesses took their place.

“The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable pain. Others were placed in boxes with only their heads, hands and legs sticking out. Then hungry rats were placed in the boxes to gnaw upon their bodies. Some were nailed to the ceiling by their fingers or by their feet, and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and left hanging until they died of exhaustion.

“Others were chained to the floor and hot lead poured into their mouths. Many were tied to horses and dragged through the streets of the city, while Jewish mobs attacked them with rocks and kicked them to death. Christian mothers were taken to the public square and their babies snatched from their arms. A red Jewish terrorist would take the baby, hold it by the feet, head downward and demand that the Christian mother deny Christ. If she would not, he would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet.

“Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: ‘The whole cement floor of the execution hall of the Jewish Cheka of Kiev was flooded with blood; it formed a level of several inches. It was a horrible mixture of blood, brains and pieces of skull. All the walls were bespattered with blood. Pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them. A gutter of 25 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters deep and about 10 meters long was along its length full to the top with blood. Some bodies were disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out, the head, face and neck and trunk were covered with deep wounds. Further on, we found a corpse with a wedge driven into its chest. Some had no tongues. In a corner we discovered a quantity of dismembered arms and legs belonging to no bodies that we could locate.’” (Defender Magazine, October 1933)

The history of the Jews is written in the blood of Christians.
“Thanks to the terrible power of our International Banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, since Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the Jews’ Harvest: The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100-million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars, and the end is not yet.” (Rabbi Reichorn, speaking at the funeral of Grand Rabbi Simeon Ben-Judah, 1869, Henry Ford also noted that: ‘It was a Jew who said, ‘Wars are the Jews’ harvest’; but no harvest is so rich as civil wars.’ The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem, Vol. III, p. 180)

The history of the Jews is written with Christian blood. Their history proves that the Jew is extremely cruel and at the same time a coward. The Jew is not a born soldier; he is a born sadist and murderer. (John 8:44)

The Law of Human Sacrifice: For a long time the newspaper Der Sturmer endeavored to find the actual law of ritual murder, the law of human sacrifice. It finally succeeded in doing so. In a trial in which Julius Streicher and Karl Holz were being tried (because of “offending the Jewish Religious Society”) it was proposed that they call as witness Dr. Erich Bischoff. Dr. Bischoff appeared.

He was the leading German expert on the laws of the Talmud. He had dedicated his entire life to the study of the Jewish law books. Dr. Bischoff brought with him a translation of a secret Jewish law, which clarified with one stroke the question of ritual murder. It comes from the book of Sohar. This book is considered to be holy by the Jews.

“You are right! This reproach of yours, which I feel for certain is at the bottom of your anti-Semitism, is only too well justified; upon this common ground I am quite willing to shake hands with you and defend you against any accusation of promoting Race Hatred…We [Jews] have erred, my friend, we have most grievously erred. And if there is any truth in our error, 3,000, 2,000 maybe 100 years ago, there is nothing now but falseness and madness, a madness which will produce even greater misery and wider anarchy. I confess it to you openly and sincerely and with sorrow…We who have posed as the saviors of the world…We are nothing but the world’ seducers, it’s destroyers, it’s incinderaries, it’s executioners…we who promised to lead you to heaven, have finally succeeded in leading you to a new hell…There has been no progress, least of all moral progress…and it is our morality which prohibits all progress, and what is worse — it stands in the way of every future and natural reconstruction in this ruined world of ours…I look at this world, and shudder at its ghastliness: I shudder all the ore, as I know the spiritual authors of all this ghastliness…” The eastern Jews especially conform to its laws. In the book of Sohar (a companion of the Talmud). The English translation related:

“Further there is a Law concerning the slaughter of foreigners, who are the same as beasts. This slaughter is to be carried out in a lawfully valid manner. The ones who do not follow the Jewish Religious Law have to be offered to God as a sacrifice. It is to them that Psalm 44:22 refers: ?Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.” (Thikunne Sohar, edition Berdiwetsch 88b)

Dr. Erich Bischoff declared himself ready to offer an opinion on this expressed law of ritual murder. However he was rejected. He was not admitted by the court for “fear of bias.”

The Catholic priest Dr. Gottsberger took his place. The defendants handed him the above mentioned law in Hebrew and German. Dr. Gottsberger was embarrassed and confused.

After a long consideration he stated that he would not be able to deliver an opinion on the law of human sacrifice. Due to this Julius Streicher and Karl Holz were sentenced to several months imprisonment. Later on, however, Dr. Bischoff (in the trial of 30th October - 4th November 1931) established the correct translation of this law.

This translation and publication of the law of human sacrifice is the greatest blow ever struck the Jews in this controversy. This Law commands the Jews to Butcher Christians and non-Jews. This is to be done in a “Lawful Valid Way.” This means that Christians are to be sacrificed in the same way as animals. They are to be sacrificed to the Jewish God Baal (Lucifer, Devil, Satan). Therefore, we are dealing with a law which doesn’t only permit the practice of Ritual Murder. But commands it.

Jewish Confessions: A further and irrefutable proof of the existence of Jewish Ritual Murder are the numerous Jewish confessions. They come from trials, voluntary statements and from confessions by former rabbis. The confessions were made in two court cases. One of them took place in Trent in 1475, and the other one in Damascus in the years 1840 - 1842.

The voluntary statement was made by the young Jewess Ben Noud who made it to the French Count Durfort-Civrac. The confessions were made by the following rabbis who truly converted to Christianity: Drach and Goschler, Fra Sifto of Siena, Paolo Medici, Giovanni da Feltre and by the former chief rabbi Neofito, who later changed his name to Teofito and became a monk. These men more or less confirmed the existence of Ritual Murder. In 1803 the former rabbi Neofito published a sensational book in the Moldavian language. In it he gives details about the terrible Jewish secret of the blood mystery. This book was translated in 1843 into Greek and later in 1883 into Italian, under the title “Il sangue cristiano nei riti ebraici della moderna Sinagoga,” causing the Jews to become very excited the world over.

On page 19 of this work the Jew Teofito confesses how he was initiated into the knowledge of Ritual Murder. And how the Jews for thousands of years have concealed it from the Christian and non-Jewish world. Teofito writes:

“This secret of the blood is not know to all the Jews, but only to the Chakam (doctors) or the rabbis and the scholars, who therefore carry the title ?Conservatori del mistero del sangue’ (Conservators of the mystery of blood!). They pass it on by word of mouth to the Jewish fathers. They in turn reveal it to their sons who regard this as a great honor. At the same time they make terrible threats of punishment if one of them betrays this secret…

“And all of the anxious sighing, longing and hope of their hearts is directed to the time when some day they would like to deal with us Christians as they dealt with the heathen in Persia at the time of Esther. O how they love that book Esther, which so nicely agrees with their bloodthirsty, revengeful and murderous desire and hope!When I was 13 years old, recalls Teofito; mother took me aside, led me into a room, where nobody could listen and after he described to me the hatred of Christians, he taught me that God ordered the Christians to be slaughtered and to collect their blood…’My son,’ he said (as he kissed me): ?With this confession I have placed my trust in you.’ With these words he put a crown on my head and explained to me the Blood Secret, adding that Jehovah had revealed it to the Jews and commanded them to practice it …I was in the future, possessor of the most important secret of the Jewish religion…

“Thereafter followed the curses and threats of punishment if I should ever reveal this secret to anyone, neither my mother nor my sister nor brothers or future wife; but only to one of my future sons who was the most wise, eager, and most suitable. In this way the secret shall be inherited from father to son until the farthest descendant.”

We Christians in America have been taught in the churches that if we desert “God’s chosen people, He will retaliate. Our welfare is connected to that of the Jew. Our Bible, containing the Old Testatament, is the history of the Jews. Our religions have been tied together, and our ministers continue to cry “We must support Israel.” Bible Prophecy, written by a number of scholars predict the Messiah’s return within a generation of Israel’s becoming a nation. Our leaders unfortunately support Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian, although more recently I have heard some of them say that “Palestinians should have their own state.” Most, however, reveal no compassion as they feel this whole territory belongs to “God’s chosen people.” Only recently, in my 60’s have I seen the horror of what we have been taught. I can only pray that others in our country will awaken to the terrible damage done by the Jews. Our Congress is is literally terrified by the Jewish lobby, many of them constituting the Evangelical Christians who do make up a considerable amount of the voting population. So, besides the money by which they control us, there is also the religious tie along with the threat of God’s retaliation. It is this “Bible Prophecy” story which makes it almost impossible for our churches to see the truth. Although I have stated my opinion on some of Israel’s injustices, Christians I believe see me as Satanic. However, it is high time people wake up to what kind of people they really are.

THE MILITANT PALESTINIAN TODDLER (100 PHOTOS)

At my mother’s breast, I learned how to thirst for the blood of JEWS.

Before I will learn how to live, I will learn how to hate JEWS and die as a martyr.

Other toddlers have parents that love them; my parents love to hate JEWS.

Other toddlers wear blue and pink; I wear a belt packed with explosives to kill JEWS.

Other toddlers love stuffed animals; I love green grenades that blow up JEWS

Other toddlers have a favorite blanket; I love to stomp on American and Israeli flags.

Other toddlers have a future filled with hope, I only have a past destroyed by dumb HAMAS rockets.

Today, I plan to kill Jewish mothers and fathers and tonight we will all be in heaven:

In heaven, I will know the love a Jewish mother, and I will rest in peace.

ALLAH IS GREAT.

Hey Jews, you are terrorists, that blame the victims.

I don’t see why and how so many different religions separate themselves? EVERYONE IS PRAYING TO THE SAME GOD, rather you want to believe so or not!!!! If you believe in the lord, you all believe in one BEING… the same being!! All religious people pray to whom they wish to make up a name! Rather it be Allah, Jehovah, Christ, Ect. Ect… We all have faith in ONE man with many nick-names! To all of you Jewish Extremist: what the hell is wrong with people?! As for Jews, all of the anger and hostility makes you no better than the white man or any other person you feel is beneath or has be tray you! How can the ALLEGED VICTIMS of what was said to be one of the most atrocious exploitations have the audacity to purposely inflict the same chauvinistic, senseless pain on others?! “Pregnant non-Jews are the same as pregnant animals.” Anything non-Jewish is insignificant and inadequate? Sounds like the Jewish KKK! You people are prejudice hypocrites. Everyone will meet their final judgment one day and that includes JEWS. And, you’ll be judged by ONE god! To use his holy name and scripture in a form of hate and violence… you will all be condemned to hell! You’re nothing but over-paid, mischievous sprites… TERRORIST!

A lot of Jews have known the love of Eva Braun and Hitler and are resting in peace in Heaven.

I think we all very well may be operating under a misapprehension about judaism. Being White we cannot identify with the mindset that drives jews to the evil deeds they do. It’s foreign to us. It would not occur to us to do such things. Working secretly within our society, as a group of outsiders who pretend to be good citizens but working to destroy the societies they infiltrate, is nothing less than consumate evil. We see jews mentioned in the Old Testament relating to the God we know, so we take for granted that is still the God jews may mention today. But wouldn’t it all make much more sense if we understood that the god that the jews are talking about, whether they be atheists, or religious, is in reality, Satan himself?

I’m not religious, at all. I haven’t read the Bible, but I’ve given some thought to the evil that jews are about. Just some good old common sense … I can’t say at what point in time the jews chucked the idea of the God of Abraham and adopted the ways of the devil, but it goes without saying, they must have. Jesus Christ, Himself, who’s teachings are filled with love toward all others, even your enemy, charity, turning the other cheek, and only good deeds, totally uncharacteristically said directly to the jews and no one else, “YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER, THE DEVIL and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44. Think about that! I think Jesus knew what he was talking about. There are no more virulent liars and deceivers than the jews, but for Satan himself. And the jews had Jesus crucified and they hate and despise him and his followers to this very day, not to mention hating every other ethnic group. Isn’t that the way of Satan? Now I’m no religion expert of any sort, but doesn’t it make sense that jews do not worship the God Christians know in the Bible, but instead, Satan himself? It makes it so much easier to understand why they are so evil, hateful, and destructive.

Additionally, the idea that Christians can condone the slaughter of men, women, and children in Palestine, even cheer on the jews in their slaughter, means to me they are not Christians at all. To believe that the jews are “god’s chosen people”, is to disregard the life and times of Jesus Christ. Now, that’s fine with me, but how can these jew lapdogs call themselves Christians?

I am a Jew and this article is correct. Maybe not as history but as what will become of you - especially christians. G-d will come for all of you, just as you came for us over thousands of years. He will slaughter all of you in your millions - stack you up high and gas you all to death. Then burn you as we don’t want the ground to be contaminated.
G-d will have his revenge for how you have treated his people.
All is prophecied.
So run for your lives- the era of christianity is fading, and the JEws, whom you tried so hard to destory - will stand on your souls for eternity.
All is prophecied.

A on 20 Jul 2009 at 11:24 am #

And they deleted my post too, just because it didn’t fit with the agenda of this website.
I said - Christians run for your lives because this article is correct, the Jews are coming to wipe you out, in your millions as all is prophecied.
But in their cowardice, they deleted my post, just like the deleted the jews for thousands of years.
View this post quick, before it too is deleted - but it’s ok - I’ll save a copy and keep on posting until it stays up.

Run…
