From Middle East Monitor
Palestinian-Jordanian cartoonist, Emad Hajjaj, was arrested in Jordan three days ago after publishing a caricature insulting Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed.
The CEO of the Centre for Defending Freedom of Journalists (CDFJ), Nidal Mansour, said that Hajjaj was arrested in connection with a case published under the Cybercrime Law.
The cartoon which was published on his Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news site depicts Bin Zayed being spat on by a dove of peace displaying the flag of Israel.
Hajjaj’s cartoon comes after a peace deal was announced between the UAE and Israel brokered by Washington, earlier this month.
The UAE is the fourth Arab nation to reach such a deal with Israel, after Jordan, Egypt and Mauritania, although the latter halted relations with the occupation state as a result of its 2014 attack on Gaza.
Hajjaj’s cartoon includes a caption that reads: “Israel asks America not to sell the UAE F-35 aircraft.”
The F-35 fighter jet has been a major target for Abu Dhabi. Getting its hands on such an advanced combat aircraft is believed to be one of the reasons why the UAE signed the peace deal.

Following his arrest, a number of journalists held a protest in solidarity with Hajjaj outside the Palace of Justice demanding his immediate release and calling for the charges against him to be dropped.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) also demanded the release of Hajjaj, while calling on authorities not to use the Cybercrime Act to mute critical voices.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on the Jordanian authorities to immediately release a cartoonist for drawing a satirical cartoon about a recent normalisation deal between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel, reported by Anadolu Agency.
“Calling a satirical cartoon a terrorism offence only confirms that Jordan intends to muzzle citizens who speak freely,” Joe Stork, HRW’s deputy Middle East director, said in a statement.
“This arrest sends the message that Jordanian authorities would rather abuse the rights of their own citizens than risk offending a gulf leader’s feelings,” he said.
On Thursday, Hajjaj was referred to the State Security Court on a charge of “disturbing [Jordan’s] relations with a foreign state”
Activists on social media shared the caricature that mocks UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as Israel refused to allow the UAE to buy F-35 warplanes from the US despite Abu Dhabi’s normalization deal with Tel Aviv.
The UAE cancelled a meeting last week with Israel and the US over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opposition to provide the Gulf state with the US fighters F-35.
On 13 August, the UAE and Israel announced a US-brokered agreement to normalise their relations, including opening embassies in each other’s territory.
Palestinian groups, including the Palestinian Authority, have denounced the UAE-Israel deal, saying it does not serve the Palestinian cause and ignores the rights of Palestinians.

In an article entitled Why lockdowns aren’t the best way forward for the Global South , the Davos billionaires are advocating lockdowns for the West, but “health” policies for the Global South. Their front-facing organization, the World Economic Forum, asserts that “. . . the tools and measures deployed by high-income countries against the virus are most probably not ideal in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) context.” As if there are not millions of low- and middle-income people in high-income countries.
Contrary to WEF spin, the real reason lockdowns are not the “best way forward” for developing countries is that unlike the West, the Global South does not have comparable substantial economies to destroy. Relatively speaking, their economies can be toppled over like a wall of matchsticks. So instead the game plan for the Global South is to go straight for the jugular — attacking people’s actual bodies through “healthcare” policies such as “. . . access to vaccines, sexual and reproductive health as well as mental health.”
The less developed a country, the less need for a lockdown and the greater focus on “health” solutions, especially vaccines weaponized for sterilization, genetic mutations, debilitation, and death. Third World peoples likewise serve as guinea pigs for vaxx delivery systems destined for the West.
If the goal of the pandemic is simply the culling of bodies — be it from this feeble Covid virus or via a truly fierce Pandemic II with which Bill Gates et al are threatening us — how hard would it be to wipe out large swaths of humanity with a super potent virus?
Truth be told, this “pandemic” is actually a cover for the 10-year, Agenda 21-Agenda 30, long-planned, global coup d’etat. More to the point, a massive PSYOP is being perpetrated on humanity. To accomplish this worldwide gaslighting operation, the globalists must first occupy the hearts and minds of the most analytical, critical thinking sector of humanity: First Worlders.
Such a takedown entails not only jettisoning pesky democracy, but also eviscerating the unique values outlined in Kevin MacDonald’s latest book, Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition .
I speculate that the reason New Zealand and Australia are so over-the-top fascist in their response to Covid is because those countries have been earmarked as test cases for how to take down a people acculturated with a Western liberal mindset. Both countries are relatively homogeneous and are logistically isolated on islands, making a good test ground to practice a war on terror against an educated, independent-minded citizenry.

Which is another way of saying the globalists must destroy our free agency and ability to defy Big Brother. But First World economies aren’t like matchsticks. It takes weeks and weeks of lockdowns to destroy large, middle-size, and small businesses.
While our overlords may be astonished by how quickly the masses succumbed to the scamdemic, the West’s substantial infrastructure is not necessarily that easy to wipe out. It takes a while, and actually serves an additional purpose. A stretch of time gives Big Pharma the opportunity to cook up corona vaccines which will in turn reap them grandiose boondoggle profits. Yet, curiously, a corona vaccine probably already exists.
The Israeli Science and Technology Minister said as much in February 2020 when he announced Israel could have a vaccine ready in 3 weeks . That news flash sure disappeared fast. The Israelis probably got shut down by corporatist pushback to the tune of “Back off. It’s bad enough you prematurely jumpstarted Agenda 21 by hijacking the Wuhan hit-cum-pandemic . No way will we allow you to be first-to-market to monopolize a corona vaccine.”
I project we have about one year left before the globalists 1) fully wreck First World economies and 2) are positioned with multiple vaccines to exert full spectrum dominance over our bodies.

To accomplish that, our overlords are marshalling forth a social engineering agenda that would make George Orwell gasp.
Focusing primarily on a populace who have actually read Orwell and thereby have a clue as to the globalists’ modus operandi is why first and foremost a simultaneous economic takedown and mind control operation on the West is mission critical. Only then can they aim their vast, vaxx crosshairs on the Western body politic.
The Global South may be tricked into going along with early immunizations and minimization of Covid’s most devastating measure — the lockdowns — but as goes the West, so goes the Global South.

veteranstoday--2020-08-31--Extremophiles Can Live Three Years Outside the International Space Station

Health Editor ’ s Note : A bacterium , Deinococcus radiodurans , can survive three years and perhaps more in space .
Before choosing this particular bacterium for the experiment , the bacterium was hit with types of assaults that it would experience while in space .

– First aired … August 29, 2020 –
Washington and Beijing are currently at loggerheads over a host of issues namely trade, technology, Hong Kong, Taiwan, navigation in the East and South China Seas, and most recently, the coronavirus pandemic.
The South China Sea though has become a flashpoint as of late, as the United States has been trying to push back against what it views as China’s rising influence in the resource-rich area.
Washington frequently sides with China’s rivals in maritime disputes in the sea and has been routinely sending warships and warplanes there to assert what it calls its right to freedom of navigation.
As Washington ramps up hostile posturing against Beijing, China’s Defense Ministry says the country will not “dance to the tune” of the US or allow it to “cause trouble”.
Diplomatic relations between Washington and Beijing have dropped to the lowest level in decades since Donald Trump has taken, but who benefits from this escalation of tensions?

[ Editor ’ s Note : Stuart reviews the age old topic of Holy Land highjacking which VT has been dealing with for many year now .
He cites Israeli Dr. Erian Elhaik , now working in Sweden , and his genetic work at John Hopkins , which we published with my introduction in 2013 .
Years before that I had helped host Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem , Michel Sabbah , lining up some of his media interviews , including Jim Clancy of CNN at the time , when he came to Atlanta on a speaking tour .
Running his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview him in the morning .
During the afternoon CNN interview , which I got permission to video , Sabbah came out four square that Jerusalem should be a ‘ UN City ’ under its administration to end the fighting over it , but the atheist Zionists were having none of that .
We have gone way down hill on the anti-semite battle since then due to Israeli political espionage inside the US which allows Congress to trump ( pardon the expression ) the First Amendment on freedom of speech to the point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hate speech and hence punishable by law .
The Supreme Court will have to rule on this someday , and the Israeli Lobby shows no interest in pushing forward quickly on that as the current situation gives them the intimidation power that it wanted .
The Israeli government has ducked taking on this Jewish DNA topic like it was Superman ’ s kryptonite .
You can rest assured all Supreme Court Justice prospects are carefully screened as to how they would rule on such a case .
Enjoy Stuart interesting piece below .

They spoke ( and still do ) Semitic languages , especially the Canaanite and later Aramaic dialects of Syria , Israel , Lebanon , Jordan , and the Palestinian territories .
The Western world today is seething with accusations of ‘ anti-Semitism ’ , a threatening term with nasty connotations .
Before 1879 nobody had heard of ‘ anti-Semitism ’ although hard feelings towards Jews as a religious group had existed for many centuries .

But discrimination against Jews existed long before , in various countries and for various reasons .
Then along came a German agitator and journalist , Wilhelm Marr , who coined the expression ‘ anti-Semitism ’ knowing full well that it embraced all Semitic peoples including Hebrews , Arabs and Christians of the Holy Land .
It wasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become a metaphor for hostility only toward Jews based on a belief that they sought national and even world power .
More recently Holocaust denial and criticism of the state of Israel ’ s vile behaviour have been considered anti-Semitic .

[ Editor’s Note: Stuart reviews the age-old topic of Holy Land highjacking which VT has been dealing with for many years now. He cites Israeli Dr. Erian Elhaik, now working in Sweden, and his genetic work at John Hopkins, which we published with my introduction in 2013.
Years before that I had helped host Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Michel Sabbah, lining up some of his media interviews, including Jim Clancy of CNN at the time, when he came to Atlanta on a speaking tour.
Running his media for the trip allowed me to interview him in the morning. During the afternoon CNN interview, which I got permission to video, Sabbah came out four square that Jerusalem should be a ‘UN City’ under its administration to end the fighting over it, but the atheist Zionists were having none of that.
We have gone way downhill on the anti-semite battle since then due to Israeli political espionage inside the US which allows Congress to trump (pardon the expression) the First Amendment on freedom of speech to the point where any criticism of Israeli is deemed hate speech and hence punishable by law.
The Supreme Court will have to rule on this someday, and the Israeli Lobby shows no interest in pushing forward quickly on that as the current situation gives them the intimidation power that it wanted.
The Israeli government has ducked taking on this Jewish DNA topic like it was Superman’s kryptonite. You can rest assured all Supreme Court Justice prospects are carefully screened as to how they would rule on such a case.
Enjoy Stuart interesting piece below. We have new readers all the time and VT archives are so huge that someone would need a federal grant to read it all … Jim W. Dean ]
Footnote: Michel Sabbah (Arabic: ميشيل صباح; born 19 March 1933 in Nazareth, Mandatory Palestine) was the Archbishop and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1987 to 2008, the first non-Italian to hold this position in more than five centuries.

– First published … August 08, 2020 –
Semites are a language group not a religious group. They spoke (and still do) Semitic languages, especially the Canaanite and later Aramaic dialects of Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories.
The Western world today is seething with accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’, a threatening term with nasty connotations. Before 1879 nobody had heard of ‘anti-Semitism’ although hard feelings towards Jews as a religious group had existed for many centuries.
One thinks immediately of the atrocities of the first Crusades (1096), the massacre at York in 1190, and the expulsion of Jews from England by Edward I in 1290 (only to be allowed back in 1657 by Oliver Cromwell). But discrimination against Jews existed long before, in various countries and for various reasons.
Then along came a German agitator and journalist, Wilhelm Marr, who coined the expression ‘anti-Semitism’ knowing full well that it embraced all Semitic peoples including Hebrews, Arabs and Christians of the Holy Land. It wasn’t long before it was twisted to become a metaphor for hostility only toward Jews based on a belief that they sought national and even world power.
More recently Holocaust denial and criticism of the state of Israel’s vile behaviour have been considered anti-Semitic. Anti-Zionism too is claimed to be anti-Semitic because it singles out Jewish national aspirations as illegitimate and a racist endeavour. Which of course they are, as Israel’s recently enacted nation-state laws prove.
Indeed, some hardcore Israel flag-wavers regard any pro-Palestinian, pro-Syrian or pro-Lebanese sentiments to be anti-Semitic even though those peoples are constantly victims of Israeli military aggression.
A catch-all smear weapon
The hijacking of the term anti-Semitism and its fraudulent conversion into a propaganda tool for defending the Zionist Project has enabled brazen attacks on our rights to free speech and attempts to shut down peaceful debate on Israel’s crimes.
The word anti-Semitism, as now used, is a distortion of language and a deliberate misnomer larded with fear and trembling for those touched by it.
This prompted Miko Peled, the Israeli general’s son, to warn a Labour Party conference that “they are going to pull all the stops, they are going to smear, they are going to try anything they can to stop Corbyn… the reason anti-Semitism is used is that they [the Israelis] have no argument…”
And so they did. Jeremy Corbyn, a genuine anti-racist, a critic of Israel and champion of Palestinian rights, was soon gone. He was the only British leader who might have reduced Israel’s sinister influence on UK policy.
But his Labour Party, like the cowards they are, surrendered to Israel lobby pressure and helped bring him down. Israel’s pimps at Westminster and in local parties across the country were able to chalk up a famous victory.
They even managed to force the Party to adopt the discredited International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism and incorporate it into the Party’s code of conduct. The new leader is their obedient stooge. He has publicly bent the knee, tugged the forelock.
Who has claim?
However, it has been shown that most Jews today are not descended from the ancient Israelites at all.
For example, research by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, published by the Oxford University Press in 2012 on behalf of the Society of Molecular Biology and Evolution, found the Khazarian Hypothesis to be scientifically correct, meaning that most Jews are Khazars and confirming what some scholars had been saying.
The Khazarians converted to Talmudic Judaism in the 8th Century and were never in ancient Israel.
No doubt these finding will be challenged by Zionist adherents till the end of time. But DNA research suggests that no more than 2 per cent of Jews in present-day Israel are actually Israelites.
So, even if you believe the myth that God gave the land to the Israelites, he certainly didn’t give it to Netanyahu, Lieberman and the other East European thugs who infiltrated the Holy Land and now run the apartheid regime. It seems the Palestinians (Muslim and Christian) have more Israelite blood. They are the true Semites.
As for Zionists’ preposterous claim to exclusive sovereignty over Jerusalem, the city was at least 2000 years old and an established fortification when King David captured it. Jerusalem dates back some 5000 years and the name is likely derived from Uru-Shalem, meaning “founded by Shalem”, the Canaanite God of Dusk.
In its ‘City of David’ form Jerusalem lasted less than 80 years. In 928BC the Kingdom divided into Israel and Judah with Jerusalem the capital of Judah, and in 597BC the Babylonians conquered it. Ten years later in a second siege, the city was largely destroyed including Solomon’s temple. The Jews recaptured it in 164BC but finally lost it to the Roman Empire in 63BC.
A Christian (Crusader) kingdom of Jerusalem existed from 1099 to 1291 but held the city for only 101 of those years. Before the present-day shambles, cooked up by Balfour and stoked by the US, the Jews had controlled Jerusalem for around 500 years, say, historians – small beer compared to the 1,277 years it was subsequently ruled by Muslims and the 2000 years, or thereabouts, it originally belonged to the Canaanites.
Counter-measure
Since the three main Semitic faiths – Judaism, Islam and Christianity – all have historical claims to Jerusalem and a presence there, and masses of non-Semitic believers around the world also wish to visit the holy places, the best solution seems to be the one recommended by United Nations General Assembly resolutions 181 and 194: that Jerusalem is made a corpus separatum, an open city administered by an international regime or the UN itself.
Why this hasn’t been implemented isn’t clear. We’ve seen the abominable discrimination inflicted on Palestinian Muslims and Christians by Israel since seizing control of Jerusalem.
The other side could play word games too – and with more honesty. Anti-Semitism has been fashioned by the Zionists into a catch-all smear weapon. What if pro-Palestinian groups and the BDS movement declared themselves (in correct parlance) to be ‘pro-Semitic’, i.e. supportive of all those with genuine ancestral links to the ancient Holy Land and entitled to live there in freedom?
They could coin a new expression just like Marr and establish it through usage.

veteranstoday--2020-08-31--Atzmon: A Question Concerning COVID 19 and Technology

At a time of health crisis one would expect to see an open global scholarly , multi disciplinary debate among scientists , scholars from different fields , politicians and finance experts .
Not only does such a discourse not exist , what we have seen instead is a crude attempt to eradicate any such exchange .
It isn ’ t our governments that interfere with this crucial discourse : it isn ’ t Trump or the FBI that deleted seven million FB posts that didn ’ t agree with the World Health Organisation ’ s narrative .
It wasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ erased thousands of salient videos from Youtube .
It has been the work of the giant technology companies operating in concert to silence dissenting views .
By now we are used to the idea that telling the truth about Israel and its lobby provokes severe authoritarian reactions , and it took us just a few days into the current Covid-19 pandemic to grasp that dissent from the official Corona virus narrative elicits similar drastic responses .
One may want to question what Covid-19 and Israel have in common .
The outcome has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis , ’ we still know very little about the virus we are told threatens us all .
Not only may many people have died ‘ with Covid-19 , ’ science itself has been murdered by a deadly virus .
What we have seen in the last six months is a complete eradication of the Western scientific and cultural ethos .
3000 years of Western tradition have been replaced by money driven culture that fakes images of scientific thought .
Instead of asking what is it that endangers some segments of the population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerned with one simple question : How do we translate Covid-19 into a cash machine ?
Instead of scientists debating the most crucial issues to do with a well-advertised global health hazard , start-ups are competing amongst themselves in a desperate vaccine contest , we see Wall Street rising by hundreds of billions exploiting the confusion .
We witness Amazon extending its global monopoly while smaller retailers are falling like flies , and during this time , technology companies have shown us their true nature and purpose .
The truth can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ search engine , it is an Orwellian indoctrination apparatus , big brother 2020 .

At a time of health crisis one would expect to see an open global scholarly, multi disciplinary debate among scientists, scholars from different fields, politicians and finance experts. Not only does such a discourse not exist, what we have seen instead is a crude attempt to eradicate any such exchange. It isn’t our governments that interfere with this crucial discourse: it isn’t Trump or the FBI that deleted seven million FB posts that didn’t agree with the World Health Organisation’s narrative. It wasn’t the Tories or Boris Johnson who erased thousands of salient videos from Youtube. It has been the work of the giant technology companies operating in concert to silence dissenting views.
By now we are used to the idea that telling the truth about Israel and its lobby provokes severe authoritarian reactions, and it took us just a few days into the current Covid-19 pandemic to grasp that dissent from the official Corona virus narrative elicits similar drastic responses. One may want to question what Covid-19 and Israel have in common.
The outcome has been devastating. Six months into the ‘crisis,’ we still know very little about the virus we are told threatens us all.
Not only may many people have died ‘with Covid-19,’ science itself has been murdered by a deadly virus. What we have seen in the last six months is a complete eradication of the Western scientific and cultural ethos. 3000 years of Western tradition have been replaced by money driven culture that fakes images of scientific thought.
Instead of asking what is it that endangers some segments of the population, our health institutions and corporations are concerned with one simple question:
How do we translate Covid-19 into a cash machine?
Instead of scientists debating the most crucial issues to do with a well-advertised global health hazard, start-ups are competing amongst themselves in a desperate vaccine contest, we see Wall Street rising by hundreds of billions exploiting the confusion. We witness Amazon extending its global monopoly while smaller retailers are falling like flies, and during this time, technology companies have shown us their true nature and purpose. The truth can’t be denied, Google is not a search engine, it is an Orwellian indoctrination apparatus, big brother 2020. FB, and Twitter are not social networks, they are actually anti-social filters. They gate-keep that which you are not allowed to say or think, but surely start to grasp.
Bizarrely enough, none of this is new. The warnings about this authoritarian shift were predicted by many including yours truly. Orwell saw it coming as early as 1948 or perhaps in 1936 while fighting in Catalonia. But the context of this draconian twist was probably defined best decades ago by the great philosophers, Otto Weininger and Martin Heidegger.
In the early twentieth century, the Austrian philosopher Otto Weininger realised that medical science was about to lose its holistic understanding of the human body as an organism and had begun to see a collection of organs instead. Weininger saw that medical science was destined to morph into “a matter of drugs, a mere administration of chemicals.” Weininger, Jewish by origin, was one of the most critical voices of Jewish culture and ideology. In his book, ‘Sex and Character,’ he unleashed an unprecedented attack on Jewish culture and its impact on medical science and scientific thought in general. I do not have any doubt that his words may offend some people however, it is clear that the non-organic, anti-holistic approach to medicine extends way beyond the limited realm of ‘Jewish doctors.’
Weininger wrote the following in 1903:
“The present turn of medical science is largely due to the influence of the Jews, who in such numbers have embraced the medical profession. From the earliest times, until the dominance of the Jews, medicine was closely allied with religion. But now they would make it a matter of drugs, a mere administration of chemicals. But it can never be that the organic will be explained by the inorganic. Fechner and Preyer were right when they said that death came from life, not life from death… We should return from this Judaistic science to the nobler conceptions of Copernicus and Galileo, Kepler and Euler, Newton and Linnceus, Lamarck and Faraday, Sprengel and Cuvier. The freethinkers of to-day, soulless and not believing in the soul, are incapable of filling the places of these great men and of reverently realising the presence of intrinsic secrets in nature.” (Sex and Character, Otto Weininger pg 315)
Weininger didn’t pull his punches in his criticism of his fellow Jews. He wanted science to be emancipated from an emerging materialist paradigm that was hostile to his understanding of the meaning of being in the world. Otto Weininger, who was one of the most influential thinkers during the first half of the 20th century, is unknown to most contemporary thinkers. His genius, however controversial, has been largely eradicated by those who control our public discourse.
Heidegger’s lecture, ‘The Question Concerning Technology’ (1954) was published five decades after Otto Weininger’s ‘Sex and Character’ saw daylight. In between the two literary events, the world experienced two world wars, a communist revolution, mass genocide campaigns that were technologically and industrially inspired and driven, the car was born as was aviation and the computer, the atomic bomb and a cold war.
Heidegger saw technology primarily as a mode of revelation. Through technology, things unveil themselves to us to the extent that we learn about the world around us, but also about our role, meaning, limitations and destiny in the world. Technology, as such, has made the world in which we live and provides a window into the meaning of Being.
But modern technology, according to Heidegger, introduced a change in the duality between man and the universe. Rather than revealing and unveiling the world to us, technology has mutated into a mode of exploitation that sustains the world in being somehow inaccessible to us.
Heidegger observed that because of technology, “all distances in time and space are shrinking…yet the hasty setting aside of all distances brings no nearness; for nearness does not consist in a small amount of distance.”
Despite rapid advances in technology, we do not experience this ‘nearness,’ let alone understand it. Instead of a gradual understanding as items manifest themselves to us as technological, we see them and treat them as what Heidegger calls a ‘standing reserve:’ supplies and exhibits in a showroom or a warehouse. The world is becoming a collection of technological items, gadgets, pieces of inventory to be ordered, conscripted, consumed, digested, uploaded, streamed, assembled and disassembled. Everything approaches us merely as a source of energy or as something we must organize or purchase. We treat even human capabilities and illnesses as though they were only the means for technological procedures and instruments for production.
This is what Covid-19 is and this is exactly where we are with the ostensible health threat. Even before we could realise what covid-19 is, it was reduced into a technological asset, an Heideggerian ‘standing reserve’. Whether it is the mask debate, future vaccinations or ventilators, Covid 19 morphed into a ‘cash machine’ as much as a health risk.
If Covid-19 and the technology involved is a mode of revelation, it reveals little about the health crisis, but tells a lot about us and what we are not willing to admit about ourselves. We are now, in fact, removed from the Western Athenian ethos that subscribes to pluralism, openness and, most important, a relentless and OPEN search for truth in wisdom. We seem pretty happily occupied by the so-called Jerusalem way of thinking. We are delighted to be fearful and accept being terrorised by repeated apocalyptic scenarios. We seem to follow anyone who strips us of our elementary rights. We accept suppression of free thinking, until further notice, we prefer to follow laws, regulations and ‘mitzvoth.’* In such a world, Heidegger and Weininger are public enemies. Orwell and his prophecy are not going to be part of our Western education curriculum for much longer.
Covid19 has revealed to us that we are not as free as we may have believed, and the only question left open is whether we, the people, can rise again, and when?

*By ‘mitzvoth’ (plural) I refer to orders, rules, commandments that do not necessarily follow any scientific or rational reasoning. In Judaism mitzvah (singular) refers to a commandment ordered by God to be performed as a religious duty. As such, the purpose of any given Mitzvah cannot be challenged as it is grounded on a decree made by a higher order.
