Many of you are rightly perplexed by Americas limitless support for Israel, even when it seemingly goes against US interests
2001-
Netanyahu bragged about how easily the US can be controlled, to the point where he knew he could get away with openly sabotaging Yitzhak Rabin’s greatest legacy—the Oslo Accords—knowing full well the US would back down. “I was not afraid to clash with Clinton,” Netanyahu bragged. “I know what America is. America is something that can easily be moved. Moved to the right direction.”
and
Of course, you all know about AIPAC and billionaires influence in DC, a disproportionate of the billionaires are pro-Israel
In 2010, American billionaires spent a mere $31 million on elections. After Citizen United opened up the floodgates, this skyrocketed to $2.3 billion in 2020 elections
Billionaires net worth increased from $3.6 trillion in 2010 to $12.7 trillion in 2022
Watching the Election season, perhaps not as closely as others, its quite noticeable that all the candidates are first and foremost Israel First’ers, DeSantis, Trump, Haley , Biden, billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy , and RFK Jr
I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but let me present some thoughts on the matter that perhaps has not been considered
Most associate Globalism with a left wing or liberal agenda using Climate Change, One Health and Sustainable Development Goals as the basis for a Secular Universal Religion .
The idea of an Earth Charter originated in 1987, when the UN World Commission on Environment and Development called for a new charter to guide the transition to sustainable development. In 1994, Maurice Strong (Secretary-General of the Rio Earth Summit) and Mikhail Gorbachev, working through organizations they each founded (Earth Council and Green Cross International respectively), launched the initiative. One of the principle creators of the Earth Charter was Steven Clark Rockefeller, who is professor emeritus of Religion at Middlebury College and an advisory trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. It was completed in 2000. The Earth Charter was supposed to become like the Ten Commandments
On September 9,2001 just two days before 9/11, a celebration of the Earth Charter was held in Vermont and attended by Steven Rockefeller. The event revealed the Ark of Hope, modeled after the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, and a hand-written copy of the Earth Charter on papyrus was placed inside with other sacred items.
So indeed the leftist Globalist Faction is pushing this version of a New World Order and some sort of Universal Religion.
But there is a Right Wing version of Globalism hardly mentioned, and its centered around Zionism. Most of you think of Zionism in a limited way, a return to the homeland for a small minority in a tiny piece of territory once known as Palestine, now called Israel.
Of course the
Canaanites were the inhabitants of ancient Canaan, a region that roughly corresponds to present-day Israel and the Palestinian Territories, western Jordan, southern and coastal Syria, Lebanon, and continued up to the southern border of Turkey. They are believed to have been one of the oldest civilizations in human history.

Most of the Jews in what we call Israel today left 2000 years ago, or so we are told, and those that did not , along with non-Jews converted to Christianity or Islam, with a small number remaining Jews.
According to some historians, up until the Christian era Judaism was a proselytizing religion starting from the Persian Era in 500 BC, meaning Judaism had already spread out far beyond Israelis border. There was a large Jewish population outside Israel before the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD, and many of these Jews were not from Israel. So the idea all Jews today can trace their ancestry to those who once lived in what we know as Israel today is unlikely.
But regardless of the flaw in the underlying premise, Modern Zionism is more than just a Jewish State in Israel, its also a Global Enterprise
According to Laurent Guyenot in from Yahweh to Zion
Modern Zionism is a global project because it is the child of Yahwism—a rebellious child in its youth, but loyal in maturity. Jewishness itself is a global project, for what does election mean if not a universal mission? This universal mission, too, has a double face. There are many Jews who associate this mission with a priesthood for the salvation of mankind.
Jabotinsky quotes in The War and the Jew (1942), in a mocking tone, a Parisian friend who adhered to the theory “that it was the sacred mission of the Jews to live scattered among the Gentiles and help them rise to higher ethical levels.”
The Italian rabbi Elijah Benamozegh, author of Israel and Humanity (1914), is one of the most famous representatives of this “mission theory”: “
The constitution of a universal religion is the ultimate goal of Judaism,” he writes. This entails a sense of Israel’s superiority: “In Heaven, one God of all men, and on earth a single family of peoples, among whom Israel is the eldest, responsible for the priestly teaching function and the administration of the true religion of humanity.”
Universal religion therefore implies “the recognition that humanity must accept the truth of the doctrine of Israel.” This universal religion will not be Judaism proper, but an inferior form, founded on the laws God gave to Noah and not on the more demanding ones given to Moses. The universal religion of the Gentiles will be Noachism. “
Israel is safeguarding the means of realization of the true universal religion, Noachism.”— This conception deviates significantly from the Bible, whose only universalist message is that the nations (goyim) must pay tribute to Yahweh in his Jerusalem Temple. It is therefore legitimate to ask whether Noachism and all the other versions of the “mission theory” are not simply skillful rationalizations of Jewish supremacism.
According to Jewish law, a ‘‘Noahide’’ is a non-Jew who follows the ‘‘Seven Laws of Noah,’’ the commandments God gave to Noah after the flood, as derived from passages in the Torah. Following orthodox interpretation, Jews are required to observe all 613 commandments given in the Torah, while non-Jews are only obligated to observe the Seven Laws of Noah. These laws, considered to be a moral code for all of humanity, will guarantee the non-Jew a place in the ‘‘world to come:’’
1) Do not deny God.
2) Do not blaspheme God.
3) Do not murder.
4) Do not engage in illicit sexual relations.
5) Do not steal.
6) Do not eat from a live animal.
7) Establish courts of justice and a legal system.
Noahide Law and US Presidents
Shortly after President Jimmy Carter's inauguration in 1977 he honored the Rebbe Schneerson of Chabad Lubavitch by declaring 1977 to be the "Year of Education." At the conclusion of that year the United States of America celebrated the first Education Day U.S.A. on the Rebbe's birthday, according to the date on the Jewish calendar.
A joint resolution, signed by the Congress and the President, stated:
…the Congress recognizes a need for the Nation to set aside on the calendar a day devoted to the importance of education to the lives of its citizens and to the general well-being of the Nation; and the Lubavitch Movement, which conducts educational activities at more than sixty centers in twenty-eight States as well as around the world, is especially committed to the advancement of education and has proposed the establishment of an "Education Day, U.S.A."; and world Jewry marked in 1977 the seventy-fifth birthday of the revered and renowned Jewish leader, the head of the worldwide Lubavitch Movement., Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson…
There has been an Annual proclamation by every President since Jimmy Carter calling the Chabads Chief Rebbes (believed to be the Messiah) Birthday as a holiday called Education day (he had taught that all gentiles are to follow Noahide laws as Mosaic laws apply to non gentiles who have superior souls).
When President Ronald Reagan entered office in 1981, he continued the tradition. On April 4, 1982, Reagan’s first Education Day USA proclamation read:
One shining example for people of all faiths of what education ought to be is that provided by the Lubavitch movement, headed by Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, a worldwide spiritual leader who will celebrate his 80th birthday on April 4, 1982. The Lubavitcher Rebbe's work stands as a reminder that knowledge is an unworthy goal unless it is accompanied by moral and spiritual wisdom and understanding. He has provided a vivid example of the eternal validity of the Seven Noahide Laws, a moral code for all of us regardless of religious faith.

1991/92 US declarations by Congress (signed by Bush) that the Seven Noahide Laws (not the 10 biblical Mosaic laws) are the ethical values and principles upon which our great Nation, the United States of America, was founded
Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;
Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos;
Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society;
Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world;
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;
Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe', this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving', the year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and
Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state:

So who is this guy (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson) and what is the Chabad Lubavitch?
Under their leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, (1902-1994) the Chabad Lubavitch movement established a network of nearly [5,400 ] institutions that provide religious, social and ideological support to Jews in over 1,000 cities, spanning [110 ] countries including all US states
Numbers range from 200,000 regular members, to 1 million attendees, but there are not any real reliable sources.
Wikipedia says 90-95,000 members. Even using the higher number of 200,000 its only about 1% of the Jewish population (supposedly around 15 million) and 6% if using the number of attendees. In terms of numbers, not very big.
Some call it Evangelical Judaism as they send out “Missionaries” around the World to bring mostly secular Jews back to the Temple, mostly setting up in big cities around the world where well off Jewish business travelers and Jewish residents (local and expats) are present in large numbers. So one might hypothesize that although small in number its members might be more affluence than average.
Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson identified his primary targets as nonreligious Jews with minimal Jewish education, and by the late twentieth century his sights were set on nothing less than the “the very existence of Jewry,” the capturing of the hearts and minds of the entire Jewish people (including those secular Jews living in the modern state of Israel) and of those non-Jews willing to abide by the Seven Noahide Commandments.
Lubavitchers are unlike other Hasidim, who remain far more anchored to the geographic and cultural boundaries of their community, fated to be born, live, and die within its “four cubits” and insulated by its customs and restrictions.
While other Hasidim have tried to preserve themselves and their own version of Judaism by ghettoizing themselves, choosing Yiddish as their primary language, dressing in ways that make them seem attached to another time and place, and sheltering their young deep within their community boundaries, Lubavitchers have eschewed these limitations.
By the time of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s death in 1994, there were thousands of shluchim (missionary families, emissaries) scattered across the globe, in places as exotic as Katmandu, Nepal—where on Passover they organized one of the largest seders in the world for the many Jewish trekkers passing through—and as mundane as Long Island, New York, where religiously wayward Jews are aplenty. Indeed, it is increasingly difficult to find any place in the world where there are many Jews and no shaliach (missionaries)
Throughout the United States and Canada, especially on all major university campuses where Jews in any number are found—in short, wherever Jews are located—sooner or later a ChaBaD Lubavitcher emissary is at work.
Indeed, at their 2009 gathering, Lubavitchers claimed that the number of shluchim had doubled since 1994. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its Eastern bloc satellite states in 1989 had made these formerly communist countries virgin territory for shluchim. The fall of communism allowed a return to the Lubavitchers’ place of origin, where they had first begun their work until being forced to go underground during the early days of communism.
After 1989, in what many Lubavitchers saw as a sign of the coming redemption and a consequence of their rebbe’s power to bring it about, they began spreading all over the former Eastern bloc in search of Jews to redeem and remake.
One shaliach—Berel Lazar, son of shluchim in Italy and a former clandestine Lubavitcher activist in the Soviet Union—found his way into the good graces of then Russian president Vladimir Putin, becoming his “favorite rabbi” and eventually chief rabbi of Russia.
Others were establishing themselves elsewhere throughout the old Soviet empire. In what many Lubavitchers saw as the hand of God in history, shluchim descended on Dnepropetrovsk (formerly Yekaterinoslav), Ukraine , where their revered rebbe had moved as a seven-year-old when his father, Levi Yitzchak, was appointed the Hasidic community rabbi of the city.
In Israel, where Zionism, nationalism, socialism, and secularism have competed to redefine the modern Jew, shluchim offer yet another model of what a Jew should be. They have entered into the competition over Jewish identity.
Historically, ChaBaD had been the purveyor of a powerful anti-Zionist ideology, which played a part in its initial relationship with the new Jewish state. But that would change. At Kfar Chabad, a village between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem founded in 1949, Lubavitchers established a stronghold and from there sent shluchim to establish ChaBaD schools throughout Israel.

Chabad Comes to America
In the 1930s, the sixth Rebbe of Chabad, and the son of the Rashab, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, moved the center of the movement from Russia to Poland. As discovered by Bryan Mark Rigg, author of Rescued from the Reich, following Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939, with the intercession of the US Department of State and with the lobbying of many Jewish leaders, including Justice Louis Brandeis of the Supreme Court, the United States government used its diplomatic relations to convince the Nazis to rescue Schneersohn.
The effort also received the support of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, the head of the Abwehr, who although a high-ranking Nazi official, often helped Jews.
Canaris recruited Major Ernst Bloch, a decorated German army officer of Jewish descent, who was put in command of a group of Mischlinge (“mixed-breeds”) officers, assigned to locate Schneersohn and escort him safely to freedom. They eventually rescued over a dozen Chabad Jews from the Rebbe’s family or who were associated with him.
Schneersohn was finally granted diplomatic immunity and given safe passage to go via Berlin to Riga, Latvia and then on to New York City, where he arrived on 19 March 1940.
During the last decade of Schneersohn’s life, from 1940 to 1950, he settled in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in New York City. Working with the government and the contacts Schneersohn had with the US State Department, Chabad was able to save his son-in-law and the next Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902 –1994) from Vichy France in 1941 before the borders were closed down.
Schneerson transformed the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which almost came to an end with the Holocaust, into one of the most influential movements in world Jewry, with an international network of thousands of educational and social centers, known as Chabad Houses.
Chabad’s goal, explains Sue Fishkoff, author of The Rebbe’s Army, is to reach every Jew in the world. Chabad seeks out the support of the rich, famous and powerful, including celebrities like Bob Dylan, Jon Voight, Whoopi Goldberg and Al Gore.
Schneerson’s grave attracts thousands of Jews and non-Jews for prayer. Schneerson spoke of the position of the United States as a world superpower, and would praise its foundational values of “‘E pluribus unum’—from many one”, and “In God we trust.”
Schneerson was visited by presidents, prime ministers, governors, senators, congressmen and mayors. Notable among them are John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Jacob Javits, Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani, David Dinkins and Joe Lieberman.

In 1992, some in the Chabad sect recognized Menahem Mendel Schneerson as Moshiach - the messenger of God on Earth. [The Messiah]
After his death in 1994, Schneerson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his “outstanding and lasting contributions toward improvements in world education, morality, and acts of charity.” President Bill Clinton spoke these words at the ceremony:
The late Rebbe’s eminence as a moral leader for our country was recognized by every president since Richard Nixon. For over two decades, the Rabbi’s movement now has some 2000 institutions; educational, social, medical, all across the globe. We (the United States Government) recognize the profound role that Rabbi Schneerson had in the expansion of those institutions.
Schneerson took great interest in the affairs of the state of Israel, where he was a major political force, both in the Knesset and among the electorate. Although he never visited Israel, many of Israel’s top leadership made it a point to visit him.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin came to visit him before going to Washington to meet President Carter. Ariel Sharon had a close relationship with Schneerson, and Shahak and Mezvinsky report, in their book Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, “Ariel Sharon was the Rebbe’s favorite Israeli senior politician. Sharon in turn praised the Rebbe publicly and delivered a moving speech about him in the Knesset after the Rebbe’s death.”
Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu also visited and sought Schneerson’s advice.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that while serving as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations in 1984, Schneerson told him:
“you will be serving in a house of darkness, but remember, that even in the darkest place; the light of a single candle can be seen far and wide…”
Netanyahu later retold this episode in a speech at the General Assembly, on September 23, 2011.
Natan Sharansky, the Chairman of the Jewish Agency said that Chabad Lubavitch was an essential connector to Soviet Jewry during the Cold War. Shimon Peres has stated that it’s to Schneerson’s credit that “Judaism in the Soviet Union has been preserved.”
Noahides
The Noahides are a theological phenomenon of very recent vintage. It’s a form of Zionist mission, which seeks to create a world religion whose believers adore the Jewish people and the State of Israel – without belonging to either.
The believers are required to accept the supremacy of Judaism but are not accepted into the Jewish people and are even barred from upholding such commandments as Sabbath observance.
Anyone who wishes to be a Noahide is called upon mainly to recognize the Jewish people and its state.
Nova Religio, a journal devoted to emergent and alternative religions, published an article by Rachel Z. Feldman, assistant professor of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall College, in Pennsylvania, titled “The Children of Noah: Has Messianic Zionism Created a New World Religion?”
The first Noahide gathering, which took place in Texas in 1990, was attended by Rabbi Meir Kahane. After Kahane’s assassination, that same year, the Temple Institute, which advocates the building of the Third Temple on Jerusalem, on the site of the first two, started to promote the Noahide project.
Humanity Day in 2015, “The Seven Mitzvot of the Children of Noah are matters of both faith and morality, which according to our sages obligate all of the non-Jewish peoples of the world. These commandments serve as a basis for establishing a civilized society.”
According to a Noahide source in 2018, there are over 20,000 offical Noahides, and the country with the greatest number is the Philippines.
The final goal of Rabbi Cherki and the Noahide World Center, we are told, is a modest one: seven billion believers.
In the view of the institute’s rabbis, the gentiles’ upholding of the Seven Laws is an important stage in the messianic process at the height of which the temple will be built and Israel will become a theocracy that will gain the gentiles’ support.
This is the world order being promoted by the Noahide Project, which has the support of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate and of the Israeli government.
The Noahide theological project was closely related to Netanyahu’s foreign policy approach, which is based on religious support for Israel. As he worded the theological message he offered on Humanity Day in 2015,
“The Seven Mitzvot of the Children of Noah are matters of both faith and morality, which according to our sages obligate all of the non-Jewish peoples of the world. These commandments serve as a basis for establishing a civilized society.”
The Italian rabbi Elijah Benamozegh, author of Israel and Humanity (1914), is one of the most famous representatives of “mission theory”: “The constitution of a universal religion is the ultimate goal of Judaism,” he writes.
” Universal religion therefore implies “the recognition that humanity must accept the truth of the doctrine of Israel.” This universal religion will not be Judaism proper, but an inferior form, founded on the laws God gave to Noah and not on the more demanding ones given to Moses. The universal religion of the Gentiles will be Noachism. “
2018-the Israeli news service Haaretz published an article about a Noahide missionary organization in Israel called the “Noahide World Center” The article states that the center has the official support of the Israeli government, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
According to the article, Noahidism is subordinate to Judaism and some Rabbis are promoting the idea that the Noahides must accept that the Jews are not only spiritually superior but also racially superior to non-Jews, they must also recognize Zionism and the state of Israel.

2019 The newly reestablished Sanhedrin invited Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, to be the honorary president of the Organization of 70 Nations established on the 70th anniversary of the nation of Israel
“God established the borders of the world based on the 70 children of Israel who went down to Egypt and the 70 nations that came out from Noah.
The 70 nations are actually all 200+ nations outside of Israel
“Each nation shall be solely responsible for maintaining a fitting and proper justice system as per the Seven Noahide Laws incumbent upon all of mankind.”

Well, fortunately , as mentioned, in 1992 Bush signed a congressional declaration that declared our country was founded on the principles of 7 Noahide laws listed in the Talmud that are for gentiles. Any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as one of "the righteous among the gentiles.
They also minted a commemorative coin engraved with the image of Nikki Haley in recognition of all she has done for Israel.
Tikkun Olam (Repair the World)
Shalom Corps is a shared initiative run by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, Mosaic United and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
The organization is a global volunteer movement dedicated to meaningful service and social responsibility, as an expression of Jewish values and love of humanity.
Rooted in Tikkun Olam — repairing the world — this initiative activates Jewish youth around a shared sense of responsibility and desire to make the world a better place. Missions are held within local communities worldwide in response to various humanitarian crises.
....Jewish vitality is intrinsically linked with the well-being and prosperity of our entire world. Ultimately, by embracing this mindset, we will be able to fulfill our common destiny as a united Jewish people.
Just as Lew’s torch lit up Mount Herzl, we too can light up our shared world.
As she said, “If a lot of individuals get together, they can make a big change. Tikkun Olam (to repair the World) — to make great change in our world — this is the new Zionism.”

Jews have the opportunity to vote for delegates to the Global Zionist Caucus, which some call the “parliament of the Jewish people” and others call “that thing my rabbi tells me to vote for.”
Delegates to the GZC meet to spend nearly $1 billion in other people’s money and decide the agenda for a range of historic but opaque Jewish groups, like the Israel Agency for Jews, the Jews’ Agency for Israelis, the World Jewish Agency, the Congress of Jewish Agencies, and Temple Ain Kmo Bamba in Skokie, Illinois.
In addition to slates representing the major Jewish denominations, like Conservative Judaism’s MERCAZ USA, and storied Zionist movements, like Herut USA, there are a host of smaller, interesting slates

Russia-Trump Connection
Putin enlisted Oligarchs Leviev and Abramovich to create the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia in 1999 under the leadership of Chabad Lubabitch rabbi Berel Lazar, known as “Putin’s rabbi.”
https://nationalvanguard.org/2017/04/chabad-putins-jews-and-their-man-trump/
Lazar, an American citizen and a native of Milan, Italy, was quickly granted Russian citizenship and appointed chief rabbi of the new federation. Lazar appears frequently at Putin’s side at public events.
At the 2006 International Conference of Shluchim, attended by Alan Dershowitz, Lazar told a story supposedly related to him by Putin, that when Putin was a young child he grew up in a very poor family. His next-door neighbours were Hasidic Jews who were extremely kind to him, and because of his profound respect for the Jewish people, thirty years later, as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, he granted the official permission for the creation of the first Jewish school in the city.
Chabad members are a small fraction of Russia’s small Jewish community. Adolf Shayevech, a prominent figure in the Jewish community since the late Soviet period, was considered chief rabbi until 2000, and still claims the title.
The Russian Jewish Congress (RJC), the country’s largest secular Jewish organization, also recognizes Shayevech. The RJC was founded by Russian billionaire and CFR member Mikhail Fridman. But Abramovich and Leviev installed Lazar as the head of the rival FEOR.
The Kremlin removed Shayevich from its religious affairs council, and ever since it has instead recognized Lazar as Russia’s chief rabbi, leaving the country with two rival claimants to the title.

Some excerpts from the below link
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/27/the-odd-chabad-connection-between-putin-and-trump/
[The ] purpose was to undermine the existing umbrella for Russia’s Jewish civil society, the Russian Jewish Congress, led by oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky, a potential threat to Putin and President Boris Yeltsin. A year later, Gusinsky was arrested by Putin’s government and forced into exile.
There’s a good chance that if you know of Roman Abramovich, you know him as the owner of the Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League. You may not know that he was a victor (along with Paul Manafort’s patron Oleg Deripaska) in the bloody aluminum wars of the 1990s, or that he was reportedly the person who convinced Boris Yeltsin that Putin would be a proper successor.
You probably are not aware that Ivanka Trump is very close friends with Abramovich’s wife, Dasha Zhukova, with whom she attended the U.S. Open tennis tournament in Queens. Zhukova reportedly attended the inauguration as Ivanka’s personal guest.
It takes a little more doing to understand the Trump family’s connections to Lev Leviev. To begin with, we need to go back to Bayrock, the company that Donald Trump teamed up with to build his Trump Soho project. There were three main actors in that enterprise. One was convicted mob associate and murky FBI informant Felix Sater.
Another was Tevfik Arif, a shady man with likely Russian intelligence connections who was once was arrested by the Turks on Mustafa Kamal Ataturk’s yacht and “charged with running an international underage prostitution ring.”
The third was the late Tamir Sapir, another man with ties to Russian intelligence.
Interestingly, all these men have connections to the Chabad movement.
Felix Sater was honored as Man of the Year in 2014 by the Port Washington Chabad house. The same Chabad house’s website lists Tevfik Arif, who is not Jewish, “among its top 13 benefactors.”
But it’s Tamir Sapir who links Trump back directly to Lev Leviev.
Pay close attention to this:
…the late billionaire Tamir Sapir, was born in the Soviet state of Georgia and arrived in 1976 in New York, where he opened an electronics store in the Flatiron district that, according to the New York Times, catered largely to KGB agents.
Trump has called Sapir “a great friend.” In December 2007, he hosted the wedding of Sapir’s daughter, Zina, at Mar-a-Lago.
The event featured performances by Lionel Ritchie and the Pussycat Dolls. The groom, Rotem Rosen, was the CEO of the American branch of Africa Israel, the Putin oligarch Leviev’s holding company.
Five months later, in early June 2008, Zina Sapir and Rosen held a bris for their newborn son. Invitations to the bris described Rosen as Leviev’s “right-hand man.” By then, Leviev had become the single largest funder of Chabad worldwide, and he personally arranged for the bris to take place at Schneerson’s grave, Chabad’s most holy site.
Just so we’re clear, Trump hosted the wedding of Lev Leviev’s right-hand man at Mar-a-Lago. Lev Leviev is so close to Putin that he was one of two oligarchs tapped to help him gain control of the leadership of the Russian Jewish community back when he assumed power.
And then there’s this:
In May 2015, a month before Trump officially entered the Republican presidential primary, Kushner (Jared and Ivanka are both Chabad members) bought a majority stake in the old New York Times building on West 43rd Street from Leviev for $295 million.
The transaction first came up due to the $285M Kushner borrowed from Deutsche Bank to complete the transaction.
Deutsche Bank and two companies tied to Leviev, Africa Israel Investments and Prevezon, had all been the subject of money laundering investigations. A laundering case against Prevezon led by then-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara abruptly ended two months after Trump fired Bharara, with a $6M settlement that raised eyebrows.
Kolomoisky and Chabad
Lets look at Ukraine’s most famous Oligarch Igor Kolomoisky and Chabad
https://www.chabad.org/news/article_cdo/aid/1991671/jewish/Largest-Jewish-Center-Opens.htm
2012-The world’s largest Jewish community center , the new Menorah Center in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine was built
The seven-towered 538,000 square foot center was spearheaded by philanthropist Gennady Bogolubov, president of the local Jewish community and chairman of the Ukrainian Jewish Congress, and his Privat banking partner Igor Kolomoyskyy.
The site, where more than 90,000 Jewish were buried, was established as a Jewish cemetery by the Yekaterinoslav Jewish community in 1903. It would become the burial ground of victims of the 1905 pogroms and Civil War pogroms, victims of the 1932-1933 famine, and the 1934-1950 NKVD purges. It was also the site where Fascists shot Jews during the Nazi era.
Designed by architect Alexander Sorin, the center will serve as a platform for the ongoing revival of the local Jewish community, which has been headquartered at the historic Golden Rose Synagogue under the direction of Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetzki.
The impressive center was built in one of the childhood hometowns of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
Kamenetzki, director of Chabad of Dnepropetrovsk, said that while in the past the city had been associated with suffering and persecution – the Rebbe’s father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, of righteous memory, was arrested and the Rebbe’s brother and tens of thousands of other Jews were shot during a mass slaughter by Nazi forces – the whole world can witness a resurgence of the city’s Jewish life.
On 2 March 2014, amidst the 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov appointed Kolomoyskyi Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
According to Putin, Roman Abramovich has been cheated by Igor Kolomoyskyi.
Putin claimed that Kolomoyskyi had reneged on a contract with Abramovich, saying “He [Kolomoyskyi] even managed to cheat our Roman Abramovich two or three years ago… Abramovich transferred several billion dollars, while this guy never delivered and pocketed the money.”
2015-Russian government seized the assets of Privat Bank’s Moscow subsidiary. Kolomoisky’s holdings in Russian-annexed Crimea are up for public auction. The seizure was ostensibly to protect Russian depositors, but few have any doubt it was the Kremlin’s political retaliation.
Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount/Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem
The majority of the rabbis who mentor Noahides are active members, or at least ideological supporters, of the Third Temple Movement in Israel, which aims to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount/Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem (where the Muslim shrine known as the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque are located), reestab- lish a Jewish priesthood, and lay the foundations for a fully theocratic state operating under Torah law.
Due to the convergence of various social and political factors in Israel, since 2011 the Third Temple Movement has grown significantly, gaining support from the Israeli religious-nationalist demographic and Israeli lawmakers as well as inter- national Christian and Noahide communities.
As the Third Temple Movement’s vision of a resurrected biblical order in Israel is amplified, it draws into question the relationship between Jews and non-Jews in messianic times. The Noahide religion responds to this question by carving out a place for non-Jews in the messianic Zionist project, providing them with a new spiritual identity and new forms of ritual life based on Jewish customs.
While there is a large body of scholarship examining the alliance of evangelical Christianity and Zionism, far less is known about the formation of a new, and more ‘‘kosher,’’ alliance of ex-evangelical Noahides with Israel’s theocratic rabbinic leaders.
As one Orthodox rabbi stated explicitly in an online editorial, Noahides constitute the Jewish peoples’ one true ‘‘group of gentile friends,’’ in contrast to Zionist evangelicals who have always had ‘‘hidden agendas’’ and ‘‘ulterior motives.’’
Many evangelical Christians believe that the return of Jews to the Land of Israel is an important step in actualizing Christian Endtime prophecy and bringing the Second Coming of Jesus.).... Noahides, particularly in the American Southwest, participate in bankrolling the Third Temple Movement in Israel.
