Now we're moving on to the Russian Chabad news.
Glad to see ADL says, glad to see the State Department debunk the ridiculous anti-Semitism charges by Russian propagandists against Ukraine's Jewish president.
ADL explored the political weaponization of anti-Semitism, including by Russia against Ukraine.
What, because they said they were going to denazify Ukraine?
Biden administration accuses Russia of anti-Semitism and exploiting Jewish suffering.
The Biden administration accused the Russian government of anti-Semitism and exploiting suffering in its claims that its wage war on Ukraine is a denazification operation.
What Biden said is, quote, to serve its predatory ends, the Kremlin is exploiting the suffering and sacrifice of all those who lived through World War Two in surviving the...
Only they are allowed to exploit the suffering and weaponize it and silence any criticism because of it.
And try to guilt trip the whole world.
And the State Department says in a dossier scheduled to appear on its website Monday morning in the process, the Kremlin is detracting from a critically important global efforts to combat anti-Semitism and is instead propagating one of anti-Semitism's most insidious forms, Holocaust distortion.
Distortion.
That means you're not even allowed to question any bit of their weaponized narrative.
Special envoy Lipstadt also says despicable lies from the Kremlin, anti-Semitic tropes.
And so Putin says he's going to fight the Nazis and they're calling him an anti-Semite for it.
Anybody find that a little odd?
How crazy these people are?
Yeah, Alex Jones is not Bill Hicks.
Get out of here with that mental illness.
That's the same type of mentally ill clown anti-Semites that run around giving the ADL everything they want and patting their stats and giving them all the ammunition they could ever dream of.
what better way to undermine legitimate criticism of alex jones to make up wild theories that he's bill hicks and make make conspiracy theorists look mentally ill so here's out to uh five days ago in exile from russia pink pink jazz goldschmidt is formally out as moscow's chief rabbi after 29 years so oh you think oh putin's exiled the rabbi putin's
kicked out the rabbi the rabbi left but hold on a second because other rabbis in russia including the country's chief rabbi barell lazar and his top spokesperson goran have remained in the country after expressing concerns about the war lazar and goran belong to a chabad affiliated group the federation of jewish communities of russia that have long enjoyed strong ties to president vladimir putin the group gained ascendancy over all
other jewish organizations in russia in the early 2000s i i got the the clip of the rabbi rabbi bragging we're the ad on russia where we run russia we we have all the billionaires and running 98 of russia this is why i say putin's zionist and you're not standing up to the new world order when you're let chabad run wild in your country i call it the new world order but whatever you want to call it uh help

is from a haritz article out recently about Chabad and Russia Chabad's relationship with Russia's government did not start on its own initiative.
In 1798, the first Rebbe was arrested by the Russian authorities and sent to St. Petersburg, then the capital of the empire for interrogation.
The Tsar's sudden interest in a still obscure group was sparked by a letter from relentless Jewish detractors of Hasidim based in Vilna, probably Guyona Vilna.
He was a Kabbalah that was, I guess, didn't see eye to eye with Chabad, which accused the Hasidim and the Rebbe in particular of being a dangerous sect advocating against the government and helping Russia's enemies.
Funny.
Eventually, the Rebbe was acquitted and sent back home.
Another arrest with a similar outcome followed in 1800.
Yet the Rebbe used both crisis as an opportunity to get to know and understand Russia's government better, and he became personally acquainted with a few officials.
Respect for the local authorities became an important part of the Lubavitcher ideology.
When Napoleon invaded Russia, the French forces path to Moscow lay through the pale of settlement in Liadi in particular.
Unlike most other Hasidic courts of the time who officially ignored the great upheavals of the war or quietly supported the French, Schnur Zalman, that's the guy that I read the quotes from earlier that say we have satanic souls from the other side, instructed his followers to help Russia.
Many of his Hasidim worked as spies and scouts for the Russian imperial forces.
The Rebbe succinctly explained his decision.
The kind of freedom offered by France was more dangerous to the Jews than czarist oppression.
Under the French, the Jews would be liberated economically and geographically, but would diminish in spirit.
See, they like anti-Semitism.
This is what this means.
They wanted the czarist Christian theocracy because it keeps Jews from assimilating.
It gives them their pogroms and their victim complex.
It keeps the rabbis in control in the ghettos.
They literally preferred the anti-Semitic government to the more liberating philosophic French.
Napoleon.
The Rebbe fled with the retreating Russian forces and was issued a remarkable passport by the civil governor of Smolensk, stating, by command of the Tsar, all military and government personnel everywhere must aid him and grant him free passage.
Whenever required, he should be given all available protection and aid.
Wow.
I wonder if the Tsar collaborating so much with Chabad worked out well for him.
Lubavitch moved into a political activism in 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution, around the time of all Russian constituents' assembly elections before the Bolshevik coup.
In local elections, Lubavitch ran either on its own or in coalition with other parties, sometimes even with socialists, but never with the Zionist.
The Rebbe at the time, first Sholem, then Yitzhak, considered Zionism the mortal danger of the future of Jews and Hasidim.
The same approach was taken in communal life where Zionists were to be confronted by any means.
Interesting.
But that compromise was not to be as the Bolsheviks viewed Jews not as a nation, but as a class to be eliminated.
There would be no Berel Lazar taking pictures next to Lenin.
Three-quarters, didn't Lenin make quote-unquote anti-Semitism illegal as one of his first moves?
Three-quarters of a century later, the collapse of the Soviet Union, who the Rebbe supposedly predicted, they claim he predicted it or knew about it, the fake perestroika deception collapse before it happened.
A great opportunity for Lubavitch.
The movement was coming home.
The Rebbe Schneerson seized the moment and instructed his followers to return and reestablish the movement in its cradle.
His followers, led by Berel Lazar, accomplished this task spectacularly.
They brought back Judaism in its Hasidic form to thousands of Jews as removed from tradition as Jews have ever been.
Yet they have made themselves helpful, if not indispensable, to the new rulers in the Kremlin, to the KGB Putin and the KGB Orthodox Church and Chabad.
It's just one big kosher sandwich.
Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, was intimately familiar with the, quote, Jewish question.
On several occasions, he publicly voiced the opinion that the persecution of the Jews was one of the Soviet regime's biggest blunders.
The policy achieved little, if anything, but generated too much world criticism and too many lost points in the propaganda wars.
Putin was as eager to embrace the Jews as the Jews were eager to reintegrate into the political class.
As always, the caricature of Jews having immense power and unlimited connections played its role.
That symbiosis enabled the Lubavitcher movement to build a small empire across Russia.
Its outposts can now be found in the most remote corners of the immense country from these two places, even in places with only a tiny Jewish population.
And mind you, these same rabbis have probably believed Russia and a leader from Russia will be Gog and Magog in the end times war.
This is what the Schofield Bible teaches.
This is what Tim LaHaye and CMP believe.
The rabbis believe.
But the invasion of Ukraine has erased almost all Chabad's gains over the last 30 years and the reputation of its local leaders and now sanctioned funders with it.
It won't be so easy for anyone, Jews among them, to forget the weak opposition to the conflict by Putin's Chabad Rabbi Lazar and Baroda's concern about Nazi influence in Ukraine.
The entire charade resembles a contemporary but inverted incarnation of the famous anti-Zionist committee of the Soviet Republic, which accused Zionism and Nazism of working hand in hand.
The Lubavitcher movement is a worldwide organization.
It is primarily a Western organization.
That is where most of the money, nearly all the people and the influence comes from.
The Russian Lubavitchers cannot survive on its own as an independent sect separate from its heart in Crown Heights, New York.
Very soon, these Kremliner Hasidim will have a choice to make, one that is both sad and ironic between the Kremlin and their Yiddish kite.
And that's a Horitz article.
Now, article out today.
Here's what you need to know about Jewish, Russia's Jewish oligarchs and where they stand four months into the war.
Where's the graphic?
Alexander Abramov, $6.6 billion steel and mining.
No public stance.
He's not promoting the war.
Roman Abramovich, who has been a big donor to Chabad as well, $9 billion steel and investments.
Affiliation and causes.
Yad Vishem, Tel Aviv University, Moscow Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Chabad, Federation of Jewish Communities in Russia.
This is the guy that helped Putin get into power, by the way.
Roman Abramovich, big funder of Chabad.
Anti-Defamation League has Israeli passport.
Changes to Jewish affiliations.
Yad Vishem suspended its partnership with Abramovich after a public outcry, and he gave them like $10 million or something like that, or billion dollars, something crazy.
Abramovich Yad Vishem.
Let's see how much did he give him.
I'm not seeing the donation.
I remember it was huge, though.
Anyway, Oleg Daripaska, $3.3 billion.
Educational programs run by the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia.
Why isn't this playing?
There we go.
Mikhail Friedman, the Genesis Pride Foundation, Genesis Philanthropy Group, Holocaust Memorial Center in Ukraine has Israeli passports.
How many Jewish billionaires are in Russia close to Putin, Jewish oligarchs that have Israeli passports?
Chabad's running crazy there.
How can you think that Putin's not a Zionist when he's this is the situation going on over there?
Here's another one: Moshe Cantor, $4.5 billion fertilizer real estate, European Jewish Congress, World Holocaust Forum Foundation, European Jewish Fund, Anti-Defamation League, has Israeli passport, has taken no public stance on the war.
German Khan, oil banking, telecom, Genesis, Russian Jewish Congress has an Israeli passport.
It's like the quote, Putin's good for the Jews.
He may not be good for the Russians, but he's good for the Jews of Russia.
That's what the rabbi said.
I might have to play that clip, too.
Let's look for Putin.
There's so many of them.
I was told by all these people that Putin was base and he kicked out all the dual citizens and all the Russian oligarch or all the Jewish oligarchs.
No, oh, he's actually teamed up and made Chabad one of the most powerful, helped Chabad become one of the most powerful Jewish groups in the world and definitely in Russia.
Difference between Poland and Russia is Russia is a vibrant, dynamic Jewish community.
I was in Moscow in Simplest Toronto.
There were a thousand people there.
There were 13 old difference between Poland and Russia is Russia is a different mentality.
And this is part of the conflict right now between Russia and the United States.
You can't push the Russians have to be dealt with with who quiet.
A very shrewd observer in Moscow told me, this is a Chabad rabbi.
Here it's public pressure, it's tumult, it's polls.
In Russia, everything is quiet deals.
For instance, there is a lot of quiet deals between Russia and Israel that you know nothing about.
And the early meetings between Putin and Sharon and Putin and Bibi were orchestrated by Chabad.
They were arranged.
But a lot of the deals, everything, Russia is a different political.
Yeah, Chabad is arranging deals and meetings between Putin and Netanyahu.
And Jared Kushner and Ivanka or Chabad as well.
And Bibi were orchestrated by Chabad.
They were arranged.
But a lot of the deals, everything, Russia is a different political mentality.
There is a lot of quiet deals between Russia and Israel that you know nothing about.
There is a lot of quiet deals between Russia and Israel that you know nothing about.
Shoot, that wasn't the clip about Putin being good for Russia.
Here it is.
Putin may not be good for Russia, but he's definitely good for the Jews of Russia.
Putin may not be good for Russia, but he's definitely good for the Jews of Russia.
Well, there's other clips of that guy talking about all the Jewish billionaires there.
In trying to seize Russian assets, the U.S. is taking a page from Chabad.
So, believe it or not, I covered this article already in the past.
Chabad is benefiting and has long-wanted sanctions on Russia's top bank because of fines by an American court fining Russia because they won't release all of these, all the books that they want back to Crown Heights, New York, because Putin created a Putin donated his own paycheck to help build a Holocaust Chabad museum with all of these books where it's under their control, and that wasn't enough for him.
They still wanted to fine Russia for not giving them these books, these ancient Kabbalah books or whatever.
And now, Chabad might actually, America sanctions the top bank in Russia, and Chabad is actually going to get that money.
Just imagine the shock that all of this Russia and Ukraine stuff sanctions go on Russia, and Chabad's going to directly benefit from it.
It's unbelievable.
Russia updates sanctions list to include several American Jews, including three Chabad rabbis.
So Russia updates their sanction list.
Tech executives, journalists, and even two deceased senators.
Who are these Chabad rabbis?
Russia updated sanctions list.
Among the many Jews who are now banned from entering Russia are three Chabad rabbis.
So apparently now, this is 2022 May.
Who are these three rabbis that have been banned?
Because it's not Barel Azar.
And why did they get banned?
I need to know this.
Here we go.
Three Chabad leaders.
Shemtov, Abraham Shemtov.
Shemtov is one of the most famous Chabad Lubavitcher names.
must be Dynasty.
Dynasty.
Moscow, Russia.
Look, there's Shem Tov.
85 years old.
He's Hasidic dynasty.
Rabbi Yehuda Grinsky.
Chabad says that they were likely included because the organization has long attempted to recover its collection of Jewish and Hasidic books and manuscripts that were seized by the Soviet Union.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there's been reinvigorated efforts to recover the sacred materials, which are known as the Schneerson Library and Archive.
So apparently they were bugging him, causing too much trouble about these books.
Like, how much do these books play a role in everything that's been going on right now?
