Are We Cuckoo?????

The Way of the Cuckoo
Posted: 11 Jul 2010 08:43 PM PDT
The common cuckoo has a very simple reproductive strategy. It lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, which then drive out the chicks of that bird's own species. Instead the bird raises the cuckoo's young as its own. The name for this sort of behavior is brood parasitism. Which is a name that we should be very familiar with as our society has fallen victim to it.

Take the case of Arizona. Or so many other US states which are going bankrupt trying to cover the health care and services of illegal aliens and other members of the Democratic party base. Then think about the small bird on the side trying to feed the massive young of another species, who has already murdered its own children. Or consider Europe, where the cuckoo's eggs of the Muslim world are hatching with the full benefits of a socialist system paid for by the very generation most directly victimized by them.

This is the Way of the Cuckoo. It is the way of the Muslim world, whose social stratification and heavy corruption leads to societies with limited room for advancement, even as its population continues to boom thanks to Western medicine and Islamic religion. The Muslim world exports that population to the West, where taxpayers fund their reproduction and raise their young. Only to have those same young murder them. And much like the cuckoo's victims, rather than learn our lesson, we just keep repeating the process over and over again.

Whether it's Mexico, whose economy is built on money sent home by illegal aliens working American jobs, or Europe, where the Muslim cuckoos go to bed listening to the discordant music of Islamist preachers, or Israel, where the descendants of Egyptian and Syrian guest workers attracted by the post WW1 boom under the British are being paid to have more children by the Israeli government even as they chant "Death to Israel"-- the problem of the cuckoo can be seen everywhere in the civilized world.

The cuckoo succeeds because its treachery takes advantage of the nutritive instincts of other birds. Similarly the human cuckoos succeed they exploit our own altruistic and nurturing feelings. Which prevent us from breaking the cycle. The siren song of immigration remains a deeply appealing one for socialists whose economic models can only be balanced out by a surplus of new workers to replace an aging tax base that has come to view socialism's entitlements as a fundamental right. And of course overturning the social order has always been a political boon for the left, which cultivates outsiders as a weapon against insiders. But none of this could succeed without public acceptance. Without millions of people willing to be convinced that raising cuckoo's eggs is their highest moral duty.

To do this, like the birds whose nests fall prey to the cuckoo's eggs, they must play on natural human instincts. And the liberal tool for this has always been the promotion of a non-reciprocal borderless altruism, which you may know by its more popular brand name of "Think Globally, Act Locally." Promoting altruism within a society of course is very different than promoting limitless altruism. Within a society, altruism serves as a social glue binding people together. It discourages excessive monopolization of wealth by the rich and encourages people to see each other as brothers and sisters. However when applied globally by a nation, particularly toward a globe that is not willing to reciprocate, it will destroy that nation. What you get is the Way of the Cuckoo, which takes but doesn't give anything in return.

Liberalism elevates altruism, because it is a useful tool against the upper class, and because it is hostile to the monopolization of money, but not power. This allows the left to monopolize power by encouraging the redistribution of wealth. But money is simply the power to employ energy. It is not money that is at the root of all evil, but power. Specifically power over others. Yet while the left champions the redistribution of wealth, it does this by enforcing the centralization of power. The natural outcome of this is to reverse the social and political gains made through the elevation of a mercantile middle class, while creating a new feudalism based on economic control, rather than religion and the divine right of kings. And what better accessory to a new feudalism than by importing a population from countries whose populations live lives that are as constrained and backward as any feudal despotism.

This brings us to the perversion of immigration. Emma Lazarus' famous poem inscribed on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty is commonly used in the veneration of immigration. But this is done without paying very much attention to the actual words.

"A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.

Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free

The key phrase here is "yearning to breathe free". Immigration only works when the people immigrating want to do so in order to gain freedom by it. Not when they want to continue living as they did before. Then they are simply a conquering demographic army because rather than participating in an open system, they will try to close it down to suit their own culture and expectations.

That again is the cuckoo problem. Immigration enriched America only so long as those coming aboard wanted a society in which they could have more advancement and opportunities than they could enjoy in their old one. When people who only want a government that covers all their needs and prevents anyone from criticizing their beliefs, then they aren't yearning to breathe free. When additionally they want to tear down the society that exists and replace it with their own language, religion and values-- then they're acting as cuckoo's eggs. And the end result of the cuckoo's eggs hatching is the death of the parent species.

Immigration is the process by which eggs are placed in the nest of another country. If the chicks in the new eggs can coexist and cooperate with the old, then the nation will be perpetuate. On the other hand if they try to kill the chicks of the existing species and dominate then nest, then immigration becomes brood parasitism. Which if left unchecked will destroy the parent species.

That is the crisis that much of the civilized world faces today as their population is being replaced by the cuckoos, from eggs that their own social systems have sat on, warmed and hatched. A false sense of altruism serves as the misplaced instinct dooming these countries, even as cynical lefty politicians exploit the cuckoo's eggs for a short term voting base and solution to socialism's shortfalls, while the long term is still Enoch Powell's rivers of blood.

Birds who wish to survive drive off the cuckoos before they can lay their eggs in their nests. And if not, they toss those eggs out before they hatch. If they fail to do this, then their species will have to make way for the cuckoos.

Check out Tax-Exempt Funds Aiding West Bank Settlements - NYTimes.com

bs"d


Dear Fellow activists, amv"sh

CHECK THIS New York Times LINK OUT!  If you are a dedicated and successful supporter of Yesha you might find your name in this article.  Very thorough I must say.

Dear Friends, amv"sh

Believe me I really wanted to go to sleep on time tonight.  I really did!  But then I read this New York Times article and I knew it needed some serious addressing. (and that is a understatement  if there ever was one.  I would have liked to use some choice words. rc[;ryobrd, after reading this article, but I am restraining myself)

This New York Times article is extremely thorough in detailing how the Jews in Judea and Samaria get their funding from tax exempt funds. Their investigative reporting is quite admirable.

 However, consistent with typical New York Times reporting,  it dismally fails to give a balanced picture of how and where the Palestinians have received billions of their dollars of funding.  A good reporter can provide ratios between the bottom line dollar amount of funding the institutions in Judea and Samaria received compared with bottom line dollar amount of Palestinian funding.  The total should not only include American Taxpayers dollars but funding from Europe Union and rich Arab countries.  We all know the United Arab Emirates  have lots of money due to oil sales and what better place to spend it then in Gaza or the PA.   Let us also not forget to mention the money Palestinians receive from the UN and their NGO's. 

True, in Judea and Samaria some institutions receive money from some wealthy individuals and from some Bible believing organizations but how can you compare that with massive funding from countries like the USA, Saudi ARabia and from the European Union not to mention the NGOs and the UN??????

Also because of their tunnel vision and myopic view, the New York Times therefore can not compare utilization of donations in Judea and Samaria with the utilization of donations in Palestinian territories. 

Settlements in Judea and Samaria use this money to build homes, educational institutions, synagogues and schools,  beautiful communities with playgrounds and landscaping, and these educational institutions teach the holy words of Torah as a light unto the Nations.  The Palestinians chose to use their money very differently.  The Palestinians buy enormous supply of weapons for the purpose of using it against Israel, promote terror, train terrorists, pay the salaries of anti-Semitic, anti Israel NGO's.  These NGO's actively work towards the desired goal of  the destruction of a Jewish Homeland.  They glorify suicide bombers, glorify jihad in their primary school education and need I go on? 

Just compare pictures of  flourishing and prosperous Gush Katif of days gone by with burnt out Gaza today  and you will see how money was spent. While you are at it, add some pictures of Kassam hit Sderot terrorized by such "peaceful neighbors".


 Dear Readers,   Let us take this golden opportunity to protest the billions of American Tax payers dollars that have gone to train terrorists, and promotes terrorism with  terror education in PA territories.  The victims of such education include Americans and American institutions ad  well.  What is good for Israel is good for America.

So if you are a Jewish organization like Agudath Yisroel of American why not use your resources to protest immoral spending of American Tax Payers rather than educate your constituencies with seminars  to  make sure that they are paying their taxes according to American Law.  Paying ones taxes legally is wonderful when the money goes to legitimate causes.  However, when legitimate causes like building Judea and Samaria are considered illegal while paying taxes to train Palestinian terrorists is legal and the final destination of such funds promotes terror against our brothers and sisters  and ultimately against us, we have some big issues here that must be addressed.   Don't you think?

If you are Print Media, why not counter this "lovely" well researched article in the New York Times with some of your own investigative reporting about how our American Taxpayers money is being used to promote terror and Jihad and destruction.  One can easily see a parallel with the story of the Lion King lehavdil.  The jealous, evil Scar stole the Kingdom from the rightful heir Simba and destroyed the peaceful and prosperous Kingdom of Simba's Father. We all know that it has a happy ending and the Kingdom was  finally restored to the only rightful heir, the one and only true and deserving KIng.

Judah is the Lion KIng and Scar is the Palestinians.

Jewish leaders must speak out

Our Proclamation 1, calling on all Jews to participate in the campaign against PLO funding, is being presented to a variety of rabbis for their endorsement.

Some rabbis are stepping forward to fulfill their responsibility to save lives and are endorsing our campaign.

Unfortunately, others apparently fear being "controversial," perhaps thinking that even merely supporting our campaign might endanger fundraising, social acceptance, or something else.

  • The Multi-Faceted Damages of the Construction Freeze" ny Dr. Ron Breiman.  The ramifications of these facts on the ground are very serious.  When there is no growth and no new construction the community becomes a dead end.  Apartments are too expensive for young couples and they find other places to live.  This is first step towards destroying a community.  Another tactic is not to provide kindergartens for the kids. Confiscating their weapons would the next step.  A military takeover similar to Gush Katif can be much more easily accomplished. Netanyahu must not be allowed to extend this construction freeze and Barak must find other employment elsewhere where he will no longer be able to coerce his will on an unwilling public.  The Supreme Court should follow suit and by stepping down allow real justice to take over based on Torah..

Bulldozer Protest Against destruction of Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva in Yitzhar - I was there



bs"d

Dear List, amv"sh

We were there, my husband, daughter and her friend waiting for that bulldozer to arrive.

School was over and camp did not start yet.  But I wasn't going to miss this Bulldozer protest since I knew what was at stake.  I sent out emails galore to Jewish Media and my entire list.  I was sure that there would be a large crowd.  So in over 90 degrees weather I went by subway with my 9 year old daughter and her 7 year old friend into Manhattan.  I told many of my friends. 

As Helen Freedman from Afsi wrote the bulldozer didn't come.   But neither did hundreds of thousands of Jews.  True the weather was unbearably hot. True it would disrupt the daily routine especially the week everyone was getting ready for camp or the country (Catskills) .

My first reaction was I'm a failure. Nobody reads my emails.  I am ignored by all the major Jewish organizations.  I am ignored by the Jewish media. Where were our friends like Chabad or Young Israel? After all it's Rabbi Ginsburg's yeshiva who is Chabad. Young Israel has been in constant contact with Od Yosef Chai and sending out alerts of the situation.

Everyone has a decent excuse but collectively there was a poor showing. I debated with myself, maybe activism isn't worth my time, energies and efforts.   Surely there are other important items that need my attention as a Mother of 4 children who are all home and back from Israel.    But then I said to myself, this silence is a true Chillul Hashem.  What is Hashem thinking right now.  Truly He must be disappointed in us.  Why are His people so Silent?  Surely, He must be losing patience.  But then I thought about Helen Freedman and all her efforts and I thought of Glenn Richter who was there (The father of Soviet Jewry who was a major force in opening up the Iron Curtain) and the  25 people or so that came, willing to be Moser Nefesh for their brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel and all over the world. Hiring that bulldozer and flatbed wasn't free.  And I thought to myself that this group is like the courageous Jews in Judea and Samara who are carrying the burden for everyone else.

 I concluded. Luckily for the rest of Am Yisroel, Hashem saw us and that we were out there protesting, walking in the very hot son and surely he looked upon us kindly and with understanding and with graciousness and thinking if we are patient with our fellow Jews, have Erech Apayim, one of G-ds' 13 Attributes,  believing that one day soon iy"h they too will show publicly that they care about G-ds precious gift Eretz Yisroel, Hashem  is hopefully willing to wait a bit more for His people Am Yisroel to wake up.

Again, I beseech the Jewish media to report that emails went out to the major Jewish organizations.   Why is this important for you to report this? Major Jewish Organizations are concerned with their image.  What get's reported counts.   What is in the News creates the News. And we have the potential to stop this destruction in a few days Chas Veshalom. 

Dear Media people:  The major Jewish Organizations have extensive databases and networks of members, Shuls, Yeshivoth and Rabbanim. Please call their offices and let them know that you want to know why they weren't there at this protest and what they are doing to stop the destruction of this shul and Yeshiva High school. . It is not enough to merely empathize..   Please, journalists, do your hishtadlus, and for the sake of Am Yisroel and peace in the world, do not allow others to hide behind this veil of Silence thereby perpetuating this deafening Silence. 

Lenny Solomon's song Rav Zechariah, about Rav Zecharia ben Avkulas, from the album Shlock Rock no limits song item 11 about the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza as I remember the lyrics (not exact)

Rav Zecharia how can you be so blind, had you made the right choices you could have stopped this tragedy  Rav Zechariah, your humbleness was profound, this is the reason, the Temple was burnt down.

FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS VIOLATED IN HALT TO BULLDOZER DEMO

 

            In order to protest the disgraceful demolition plans of the Israeli government for the Od Yosef Chai yeshiva in Yitzhar, Israel, Americans For a Safe Israel/AFSI planned a demonstration for Monday, June 28, in front of the Israeli Consulate on Second Ave. & 42nd Street. We hired a bulldozer on a flatbed to be driven into Manhattan and to be parked in front of the Consulate while demonstrators chanted, waved Israeli and American signs, and carried signs.

 

            It was 92 degrees in New York's summer heat, and 25 stalwart supporters of Americans For a Safe Israel responded to AFSI's call for the demonstration.  They assembled across from the Israeli Consulate, on Second Avenue.  Israeli and American flags were draped on the barricades. Our signs read: BARAK/BIBI, DO NOT BULLDOZE OD YOSEF CHAI YESHIVA. APPEASING THE ENEMY IS SUICIDAL; BARAK/BIBI – BUILD! DON'T DESTROY JEWISH HOMES, SCHOOLS & SYNAGOGUES; BARAK/BIBI – THE JEWISH STATE MUST NOT DESTROY JEWISH HOMES, SCHOOLS & SYNAGOGUES.

 

            We kept looking up Second Avenue for our truck and bulldozer, as passing cars honked their horns approvingly when they read our signs. The truck and bulldozer never arrived. Jack Ross, our AFSI member,  who had cleared the route with all the necessary police personnel, and had been with the truck all the way from Westchester, called to tell us that the police had detained the rig at Second Avenue and 55th Street in order to "inspect" it. It was clear that our truck had been singled out because it was part of our protest. Following the "inspection", we were notified that it had to be "measured." Following that we learned the truck had to be "weighed."  As delaying tactic piled one upon the other, a few of us decided to walk up to where the truck was parked. We walked the 13 blocks in the heat, to finally see our truck with the bulldozer on it. Sure enough, it was there, carrying our large signs: BARAK/BIBI – BUILD JEWISH HOMES, SCHOOLS, SYNAGOGUES – DON'T BULLDOZE THEM! APPEASING THE ENEMY WEAKENS ISRAEL; JEWS DON'T DESTROY JEWISH HOLY PLACES! STOP THE DEMOLITION OF YITZHAR SYNAGOGUE IN ISRAEL. We learned that the police had been tracking it from the very beginning of its trip. It was clearly safe enough to be on the highways and bridges of the city so that it was allowed onto the streets of Manhattan. Why it was stopped 13 blocks from its destination is an interesting question. It was clearly not usual police procedure since anyone living anywhere in the vicinity of New York City is aware of the huge amount of truck traffic that uses our roads, bridges, tunnels and streets.

Could the Israeli Consulate have been responsible for preventing the truck and bulldozer from being parked across from their offices? Could there have been an order from Israel's Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, to prevent New Yorkers from knowing the shameful truth about the political cowardice of  Barak and PM Bibi Netanyahu for ordering the demolition of a Jewish holy Yeshiva and Synagogue? Will we ever find out the truth about this violation of our First Amendment rights in NYC? Were the police "just following orders", and if so, who had issued them?
