Parshat Noach: Holy Smokes By Rabbi Aba Wagensberg In this article, we are going to discuss Hashem’s choice to change the way He guides the world by creating a new phenomenon known as “the rainbow” which serves as a sign to guarantee that He will never again destroy the entire world with a flood of water (Parshas Noach, 9:12-17). Apparently, it was not sufficient for Hashem to just promise that he would never bring such a catastrophe to the world, but rather, He had to produce a rainbow as a sign to back up His promise This indicates that there must be some message buried within the rainbow which moved Hashem to make such a decision about never wreaking havoc on the world again in such a manner. This begs us to ask, “What was the message that was contained within the rainbow that caused Hashem to make such a decision?” We will begin to address this question based upon a teaching from the sefer Nachalas Ya’akov (Parshas Noach) which was written by Rabbi Ya’akov Lorberbaum from Lissa, Po

Kohelet: The Earth Versus Humanity Kohelet, the book of Ecclesiastes, complains about almost everything. The medieval commentator in MS Hamburg 32, however, argues that in his opening discourse, Kohelet is contrasting earth’s permanence with humanity’s transience, presenting the world, if not humanity, in a positive light. Prof. Rabbi Marty Lockshin

Bolton says Putin on US target list, wants coup in Russia "Putin is a legitimate military target... he needs to know that he's on our target list at this point," Bolton stated. By Drago Bosnic | October 10, 2022 Just as the world thought that the lack of basic etiquette (diplomatic or any other) in the United States establishment couldn't possibly get worse, that same establishment goes beyond anyone's imagination (or worst nightmares in this particular case). On Friday, October 7, during an interview on CBS, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, infamous for his insistence on starting wars against Venezuela, Iran and North Korea or escalating the ongoing ones (such as Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc), said Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the US target list and threatened he might be assassinated. "I think we should make it clear publicly so that not just Putin but that all the top Russian leadership... that if Putin authorizes the use of a nuclear

  US regime willing to escalate Ukrainian conflict Washington’s recent maneuvers reveal US wants to take conflict to its ultimate consequences By Lucas Leiroz | Aletho News | May 12, 2022 Once again, the US seems to be the side most interested in taking the Ukrainian conflict to its ultimate consequences. A law recently signed by Joe Biden threatens to escalate the dispute in Eastern Europe to extremely dangerous levels, increasing NATO’s support for Kiev in order for the Ukrainian forces to be able to continue fighting for a long time even without any material chance of real victory. On May 9 the US president signed the “Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022”, leading to a new phase in Washington-Kiev relations, in which Americans will be authorized to streamline and de-bureaucratize the process of sending military aid to Ukrainian forces. The objective of such a maneuver is to banish any procedural obstacle to the agility of bilateral military partnership, encouraging the

  Germany warns of global famine aletho May 9 Samizdat | May 9, 2022 The world is about to face an acute food crisis due to skyrocketing food prices, German Economic Cooperation and Development Minister Svenja Schulze told the Bild newspaper on Saturday, warning about a looming famine not seen since World War II. The minister has named the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine as its causes. “The situation is highly dramatic,” the minister told the German tabloid in a late Saturday interview, adding that, according to the UN World Food Program, “more than 300 million people” are already suffering from acute hunger and the UN has to “constantly revise” this data upwards. Food prices around the world have grown by a third and have reached “record levels,” Schulze has warned, adding that the “bitter message is that we are facing the worst famine since World War II,” which could see “millions” die. In its May 6 statement, the World Food Program has warned tha

  US bragging about its direct involvement in Ukraine may lead to uncontrollable escalation aletho May 6 By Drago Bosnic | May 6, 2022 On May 4, the New York Times published a highly controversial article openly bragging about how the United States has been providing critical intelligence about the location and movement of Russian troops, which has allowed Ukrainians to target them. The publication also claims that "many Russian generals have died in action in the Ukraine as a result," citing senior US officials. However, this is hardly news, since the US and NATO have been doing it since day one of the special military operation in Ukraine. The Russian military has been warning the political West about this issue. And yet, the US and NATO aren't only ignoring the warnings, but are also openly bragging about their actions which are contributing to the death of Russian military personnel in Ukraine as we speak. The claim that "many Russian generals have died" is

  bourgeoisie The bourgeoisie is a social class that emerged in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It owns capital and crafts, as well as the ability to produce and control society and state institutions to maintain its privileges and status, according to Karl Marx's theory. More precisely, the bourgeoisie is the dominant and ruling class in capitalist society. It is an unproductive class, but lives from the surplus value of the workers’ labor, since the bourgeoisie is the dominant class over the means of production, and Lenin divides them into classes. Small contractors and workshop owners. It is worth mentioning here that it was the bourgeoisie that carried out the French Revolution in alliance with the working class and peasants, and then turned against the principles of the First Republic with the support of the army led by Napoleon Bonaparte. The army took control of the situation and quelled the anger of the working class after exporting the internal crisis and conflict a
