Just Thinking Frederick William Dame (Exercising freedom of speech … as long as it still exists.) Just Thinking Number 160 *** Source: http://17663-presscdn-0-49.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/obama-michelle- Just-for-you_phixr5-400x381.jpg JT: I don’t understand what Obama means with “whip it out”. Does he want Michelle to beat him with her whip? *** JT: Impress this statement into your minds!!! From: http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/muslims-dont- assimilate-they-infiltrate?f=must_reads#ixzz49MpqpLbY Muslims don’t assimilate, they infiltrate Let us first, dispense with the pretense. Every notion we in the West have adopted in terms of dealing with Muslims, both individually and collectively, is wrong. It is a policy based more on political correctness than on rational analysis, more on a misunderstanding of culture than religion. 1 The term "Islamophobia" was invented and promoted in the early 1990s by the International Institute for Islamic Thought, a front group of the Muslim Brotherhood. It was designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them, similar to the tactics used by the political left, when they hurl the accusations of "racist," "sexist," "homophobe" and "hate-speech." *** http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/05/20/cameron-stands-by-his-criticism- of-trump-stupid-divisive-and-wrong/ JT: David Cameron is against Donald Trump and his position concerning Muslims. This is another good reason why Trump is qualified to be President. *** http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/05/20/russia-proposes-us-led-coalition- to-strike-syrian-terrorists-with-moscow-def-minister/ JT: This could be a start to repatriate Muslim migrants in Europe back to Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan after first being relocated to temporary camps in the Saudi Arabian desert. *** Source: https://seeker401.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/education-copy.jpg?w=740 . JT: Methinks the DemocRATS and the Progressives of every political party took H. L. Mencken and John D. Rockefeller opinions as educational gospel! American society has been DUMBED DOWN!!! *** 2 JT: Think about this: What is of the utmost importance in the world? It is to give love and to receive love. Muhammad never gave anything but hate, exploitation, genocide, and ethnocide. What has the world received since Muhammad? Over one billion people killed in the name of Islam! *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hTc5p3UMw8 JT: Did Gary Welsh know he would “commit suicide” beforehand? *** http://culturalmarxism.net/muslim-scholar-celebrates-extinction-of-blue-eyed- blonde-haired-germans-live-on-tv-and-get-a-standing-ovation/ *** JT: Here are Donald Trump’s qualifications to be President! Obama is against Trump… Check The Media are against Trump… Check The establishment Democrats are against Trump… Check The establishment Republicans are against Trump … Check The Pope is against Trump … Check The UN is against Trump … Check The EU is against Trump … Check China is against Trump … Check Mexico is against Trump … Check Soros is against Trump … Check Black Lives Matter is against Trump … Check Move On is against Trump … Check Koch Brothers are against Trump … Check Bushes are against Trump … Check Planned Parenthood is against Trump … Check Hillary & Sanders are both against Trump … Check Illegal aliens are against Trump … Check Islam is against Trump … Check Kasich & Cruz are against Trump … Check Hateful, racist, violent Liberals are against Trump … Check 3 NOW THAT BEING SAID … It seems to me; Trump MUST BE the best qualified candidate we could ever have. If you have so many political insiders and left wing NUT CASES all SCARED TO DEATH, that they all speak out against him at the same time!! Most of all, it will be the People’s Choice … PLUS, He’s not a Lifetime Politician … Check He’s not a Lawyer … Check He’s not doing it for the money … Check He’s a natural-born American citizen born in the USA from American parents … Check Bonus points! Whoopi says she will leave the country… Rosie says she will leave the country… Sharpton says he will leave the country… Gov. Brown says California will build a wall… Cher says she will leave the country… Cyrus says she will leave the country… The Constitution and the Bill of Rights will prevail…. Hillary will go to jail…. The budget will be balanced in 8 years…. Americans will have first choice at jobs…. You will not be able to marry your pet…. You will be able to keep your gun(s) if you qualify … (Not a criminal, etc.) Only live human American registered citizens can vote…. You can have and keep your own Doctor…. You can say what you want without being called a racist…. He will make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Come to think of it, we have no place to go but UP! The fine print. As the old preacher said on Good Friday???..Christ was dead on the cross, the day turned to night, and the demons in hell were dancing a jig ???its Friday, but Sunday???as a??? comin???…and zero’s nervous. Though we can’t stop ’em from Trying… we can keep ’em from Forming any Bad Habits” Terror… is nothing more than worry. You do… They win.

As a direct result of inbreeding, the Muslim population is the only population on earth that is mentally and physically devolving. This inherent weakness makes Muslim populations more susceptible to nefarious, oppressive leadership and mass manipulation. The amount of objective evidence supporting this statement is colossal and obvious.” (http://www.barnhardt.biz/the-one-about/the-one- about-muslims-being-inbred/ ) JT: Methinks this is so much like the DemocRATS! Particularly the underlined part! *** At http://www.wsj.com/articles/dear-grads-you-need-a-p-l-1463950545 Andy Kessler writes “...capitalism is not about greed. It is a system that weeds out dumb ideas from smart ones. The former generate disdain and losses; the latter generate delight and profits.” JT: Methinks this is a description of the Obama regime because the Obama regime, a dumb idea, was not weeded out, but the smart, conservative politics were weeded out and the result was the generation of disdain and losses to the United States of America. *** http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/9215.htm.

This could stop a second Hindu Kush (Massacre of Hindus). *** http://nysepost.com/5000-year-old-chinese-beer-recipe-revealed-243158 JT: 干杯!!! *** 5 JT: After eight years of the Barack Hussein Obama regime and the DemocRATS, America is slowly dying.

Source: http://17663-presscdn-0-49.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/slum.jpg . *** JT: Here’s a message for all POLDS (Progressives, Obots, Liberals, Dumbed- downers, Socialists-Communists) and #NeverTrumpers: What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect. What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad? Trump’s-a not so bad, he’s for a better place. So, shaddappaurface! (Adapted from: http://www.metrolyrics.com/shut-uppa-you-face-lyrics-joe-dolce.html .) *** JT: If you don’t think American university students have been dumbed down, watch the video here: http://injo.com/2016/05/612792-students-support- hamas/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=afternoon- newsletter&utm_medium=owned . *** 6 by BigFurHat Source: http://17663-presscdn-0-49.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/obama-pORTRAIT- rd-220x300.jpg JT: Supportive of this work of art is the opinion that Barack Hussein Obama is an insult to rat droppings! *** Obama’s former “green jobs czar,” communist Van Jones, defends the Clintons, saying, “Do you know how hard it is to stay married in America? A lot of people are proud of the Clintons for being able to stick it out.” [93258, 92359, 92360, 92376] *** http://philly.curbed.com/2016/5/24/11759822/museum-of-american- revolution-archeology-dig JT: Of course Muslims will claim that they brought them to America in the17th century and therefore they are property of Muslims worldwide. *** http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/262936/muslim-world-permanent-refugee- crisis-daniel-greenfield JT: The pure logic is that because Islam keeps its Muslims ignorant, poor, backward, and brainwashed, the flow of Muslim refugees will be perpetual. *** 7 Source: http://iotwreport.com/the-beer-batter-defense/ .

It’s more of a cruel hoax. It turns out that just before the vote, Sen. Charles Schumer [D-NY] and other proponents of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act stuffed an amendment into the final draft allowing the attorney general and secretary of state to stop any litigation against the Saudis in its tracks.

  • Peoplehood Education Initiatives and Projects
    For internal use only Peoplehood Education Initiatives and Projects The Global Task Force on Jewish Peoplehood Education 1 Introduction The Global Task Force on Peoplehood education was initiated by the UJA Federation of New York in 2007 with the intent of moving the Peoplehood agenda into the educational sphere. Three dozen educators from all corners of the world representing formal, informal and adult educational settings were convened three times in Israel, the United States and Europe for the purpose of contributing to the creation of the field of Jewish Peoplehood education. The first conference, in Israel, was dedicated to framing what Peoplehood education can mean and what impact we want to have on our students. At the second meeting, in New York concrete models targeting various educational fields of operation were presented . The third conference is dedicated to reflecting on both the conceptual and practical outcomes of the process. Our overarching goal is to offer a vision and a road map for the field of Jewish Peoplehood education. This collection of educational models, programs and projects, created by the Task Force members, is intended to offer tangible examples of turning Peoplehood from a vague amorphous concept into concrete educational intervention initiatives. It is intended to inspire educators to address the challenge of engaging the next generation in the Peoplehood conversation. It is meant to make a vision of future Jewish education look like a manageable reality. The Jewish Peoplehood Hub gratefully acknowledges the visionary support of the UJA - Federation of New York in this project, and of the Nadav Foundation for their willingness to enable it to come to fruition Dr.

  • Barbara Lerner Spectre
    Barbara Lerner Spectre In the linked video Barbara Lerner Spectre, the jewish founding director of Paideia Stockholm, effectively calls for destruction of White European ethnic societies through multiculturalism. She mendaciously justifies her organization’s evil efforts with Orwellian doublethink talk by saying without multiculturalism Europe “will not survive”. Europe will certainly NOT survive if it is flooded with the unlimited numbers of Third Worlders. To view the above video copy this link into your browser address bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ# Transcript of video NARRATOR: There are people in Sweden who support Israel and have a deep sense of the injustice of the present situation. It is these people who give hope to those who do believe that things will get better here. One of them is Barbara Spectre, a former American who made Aliya* and then ten years ago, with the help of the government of Sweden set up a non-denominational institute of jewish learning with the Greek name of Paideia, here in Stockholm. She believes that the current wave if anti-semitism in Sweden will pass. And that jews have an important role to play in a country undergoing profound change. SPECTRE: “I think there’s a resurgence of anti-semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural, and I think we’re gonna be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that.
