** 'Orthodox Judaism Is a Religion of Lying and Deceit' - The Saker Interviews Michael Hoffman http://www.unz.com/tsaker/an-interview-with-michael-a-hoffman-ii/ https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Michael Hoffman Unz Review (1,109 views) on Fri, Jun 22, 2018 Hoffman is author of the academic work 'Judaism's Strange Gods', amongst other books. Introduction by the Saker: I have always had a passion for theology in general and the studies of religions in general. Several years ago I discovered, quite by chance, a book written by Michael A. Hoffman II entitled Judaism’s Strange Gods https://www.amazon.com/Judaisms-Strange-Gods-Revised-Expanded/dp/0970378483… which I found most interesting and thought provoking. Reading that book, I felt that I wanted to find out much more and I ended up ordering and reading Michael A. Hoffman II’s magnum opus Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition and Deceit https://www.amazon.com/Judaism-Discovered-Anti-Biblical-Self-Worship-Supers… which absolutely amazed me: over 1000 pages packed with information, sources and most interesting analyses. Needless to say, the book was also very controversial and elicited all sorts of negative reactions from various reviewers. Here I need to immediately begin by a disclaimer: while the topic of “Rabbinical Phariseism” (modern “Judaism” should be called something like “Rabbinical Phariseism” since all modern Judaic denomination are descendants of the sect of the Pharisees; furthermore, this religion is dramatically different from the religion of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: it is the religion of Maimonides, Karo, Luria and others) has always fascinated me and while I do have a graduate degree in theology, I am absolutely not qualified to endorse or refute the views of Hoffman. What I can say is that his books are very well written, well researched, fully sourced and that I see no contradictions between what he wrote and the little I personally know about this topic. As for his critique of the religion of the Rabbinical Pharisees (from which all form of modern “Orthodox Judaism” stem from), it is not “racist” in any way: unlike ethnicity, a ---religion is a personal choice and thus a legitimate target for scrutiny and criticism--- and Hoffman’s condemnation of Rabbinical Phariseism is in no way harsher than the writings of Church Fathers like Saint Justin Martyr, Saint John Chrysostome, Saint Cyprian of Carthage or Saint Ephrem the Syrian. Hoffman recently published another amazing book, the 700 pages long “The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome” https://www.amazon.com/Occult-Renaissance-Church-Rome/dp/0990954722/?tag=un… which I began reading (I am about 1/3rd through) with, again, rapt interest. Yet again, here was a very well researched and beautifully controversial book which gave me as strong desire to speak with the author and, luckily for me, Michael A. Hoffman II has kindly agree to replies to my questions to him on his life and research. The following is the full unedited Q&A with I had with him. … Enjoy...

Such attackers will have massive non recyclable energy cost, typically required to appear on their public sheets. Attackers will therein also resort to FUD plays easily proven false. And their ASICs broken by nonce changes in algos. Legit p2p webs of in person validated global trust nets will also develop creating new handshake agreements in mining / nodes defense, sybils will not be able to pass inspection up to and including SSBI style, large operations will be suspected and derated in metrics accordingly. Attackers are ultimately frail and cannot continue to forever inflate and sink their fiat into such attacks, citizens will revolt against that. Users will simply migrate and exchange away to more advanced and resistant usable cryptocurrency nets if attackers tx fees and etc begin making make the old unusable. ie: What has happened with downfall of BTC... Cryptocurrency, once established globally in trio of... philosophical mind, enough mechanical knowledge to use confidently, and then used routinely as desired... is wonderfully adaptive to attacks. Each of those three are inevitable and unstoppable, and they continue to increase, leading to eventual victory of cryptocurrency. The "established" will make more by accepting and servicing it than they will by burning resources trying to fight it. bcc cypherpunks because metz list is proven censored, resident anti cryptocurrency established friends / devs / etc of state, etc. Cryptocurrency.... what if....

> juan juan.g71 at spookmail.com > Wed Jun 20 14:30:55 PDT 2018 > > what does is mean ? > why is 'computer won debate' being pushed ? To discredit the ability of humans to do things. When on vacation in the US, there were radio reports for the coming "distracted driving" meme, even thought there was already a "cellphone ban while driving" law, and the po lice enforcing this meme have entire computers mounted in their passenger seat that they use at high speeds while responding to radio calls. The goal is to move to a "no ape-piloted vehicles" reality. In this case, "humans are inadequate at arguing their own beliefs" is the goal. Only low-iq plebs will believe this. Unfortunately, the world is 90% low-iq plebs. Including those who believe "AI" is anything more than a text file with access to other text files and only able to do what the programmers thought of, like Steve "computers are smarter than the niggers who create them" Kinney. Next is "computers are better at creating art than humans" and the "human" they use will be a jew who can't into creation, only destruction, perversion, and theft. * Disclaimer * The BBC is wholly responsible for the content of this email, and everything written in this email reflects the BBC's views and opinions.
