The day is here, and this is possibly the most I have ever researched for any one episode. We continue from Pt. 1 on the secret society known as The Parushim which included two Supreme Court Justices, & then get into some bizarre teachings about a Holy Serpent. Then, we take a step deeper into the early push for the modern state looking directly at quotes from leaders in the movement. From there, we get into events that took place at the beginning of its establishment, & still, we've only skimmed the surface. Just wait for Pt. 3! Now, time to get down that hot, sandy rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream! Cheers, and Blessings The Odd Man Out Show Notes• The Parushim «KALLEN invited no one to become a member until the candidate had given specific assurances regarding devotion and resolution to the Zionist cause, and each initiate had to undergo a rigorous analysis of his qualifications, loyalty, and willingness to take orders from the Order's Executive Council.» — Schmidt, Horace M. Kallen: Prophet of American Zionism (Brooklyn, NY: Carlson, 1995), 77. BRANDEIS assumed the active leadership of the Provisional Executive Committee and HORACE KALLEN invited him to become an honorary member of the Parushim. BRANDEIS accepted, and began to assign the Parushim to carry out special «missions» for him. — Kallen to Brandeis, September 21st, 1914; Brandeis to Kallen, March 4th, 1915; Brandeis Papers, Zionist Archives, New York. Professor Sarah Schmidt The Parushim https://ifamericansknew.org/history/parushim.html Against Our Better Judgement Book by Allison Weir https://againstourbetterjudgment.com/ If Americans Knew- Allison Weir's Group https://ifamericansknew.org/ The Holy Serpent in Judaism Rabbi Laitman, in his Daily Kabbalah Lesson of the Zohar, stresses that: “...This snake comes as medication...an angel sent to us...we should be grateful to the serpent for its help...the serpent has a very important mission... “The Serpent is the Angel of Help.” (Full Quote) https://laitman.com/2010/02/the-serpent-is-the-angel-of-help/ "Adam named the serpent thereby, magnifying its unique essence, & was to use it for divine purpose. This is especially true of the Nachash for under Adam's subjugation it had a very sacred mission to perform. More than any other animal it was to be a partner with Adam in bringing the final Tikkum, a completion and transformation of all creation" Is Tikkun Olam another version of New World Order, The Great Reset ect? "Kabbalah with theoretical science can stimulate the redemption process." Joel David Bakst, The Secret Doctrine of Gaon Of Vilna Vol. 2 P.80 The Talmud, teaches that, “Serpents encircle the Righteous during their lives, attending to their needs and guiding their actions.” And The Talmud concludes that, “The Serpent is the great servant of man” (Sanhedrin 50b) Rabbi Jacob ben Cohen declares outright, that, “The Messiah is a snake.” "Just as Amalek represents the epitome of evil, so does the positive snake represent the epitome of good. Mashiach himself is referred to as "the holy snake," as alluded to by the phenomenon that the numerical value of Mashiach (358) is the same as that of the word for "snake" (nachash). In the Zohar it is told that when the holy snake, Mashiach, will kill the evil snake (overcome the fear of insanity), he will thereby merit to marry the Divine princess, to unite with the origin of the souls of Israel and so to bring redemption to the world." "Dan shall be a snake on the way, a serpent on the path." (Mashiach, the epitome of the figure of the holy snake, will be a descendent of Judah, the son of David." https://www.inner.org/healing/healing35 The kosher serpent, & the restoration of all things. (Great Series On Kabbalah Teachings) https://youtu.be/PzVBVp2Xtyw "The serpent, inspirer of disobedience, of insubordination and revolt, was cursed by the ancient Theocrats, although it was honored among initiates... to become like unto Divinity, such was the goal of the ancient mysteries... Today, the program of initiation has not changed." Oswald Wirth, Freemason, Creator of Tarot Cards "The serpent is the universal symbol, & prototype of the Universal savior who redeems the world by giving creation the knowledge of itself, & the realization of good, & evil." Manly P. Hall, Rosicrucian, Freemason "Man rose to Divine status by partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent's advice to Eve was wiser than the recorded command of God." Lynn Perkins, Freemasonry, & The New Age The 29th Degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry is titled: Knight of The Brazen Serpent. The Hidden History of Zionism (Book) https://archive.org/details/hiddenhistory_zionism “If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121. "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you, because these geography books no longer exist; not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahalal arose in the place of Mahalul, Gevat - in the place of Jibta, Sarid - in the place of Haneifs and Kefar Yehoshua - in the place of Tell Shaman. There is not one place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." ~ Moshe Dayan, Israeli Defense Minister “Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries – all of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left.” Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department in 1940. From “A Solution to the Refugee Problem” Joseph Weitz, Davar, September 29, 1967, cited in Uri Davis and Norton Mevinsky, eds., Documents from Israel, 1967-1973, p.21.

Lynn Perkins was in a situation parents everywhere face. She was in need of a baby-sitter. It dawned on her that she could leverage her social network to find a sitter for her twin boys. It was during this moment that she realized the opportunity to leverage one’s social networks for finding short- and long-term childcare. A natural matchmaker, Lynn recruited three co-founders to join her in this initiative. Each had complementary strengths — in engineering, product and marketing. The business idea became UrbanSitter, a network that offers background-checked sitters and nannies nearby. Even better, it shows the baby-sitters and nannies who take care of the children of other parents in your social network. After signing up and paying a monthly or annual membership fee, you’ll gain access to 120,000+ active sitters and nannies in the company’s database. And, the site averages a response time of under three minutes. In episode #112 of I Want Her Job: The Podcast, Podcast Co-Founder Polina talks to Lynn about how UrbanSitter is helping to find childcare for the more than 12,000+ health care workers during the COVID-19 crisis. Lynn also shares her story of navigating the 2008 financial crisis, and she offers advice for people who may need to seek career changes due to COVID-19 related impacts. The two also discuss two groups that are using UrbanSitter for the flexibility and income streams it provides — college students and retirees. Whether you’re looking for childcare, or you’re a kiddo-loving individual looking for a job that can provide more income, listen to this episode to learn about this new way of connecting kids with care.

Lynn Perkins takes us behind the curtain and gives us great advice—from tips on raising money from venture capitalists, to how to find a good mentor, and best practices in hiring childcare.
UrbanSitter.com co-founder Lynn Perkins dives into the often overlooked benefits of hiring a babysitter and the age when most parents look to hire a sitter. As a successful Momtrepreneur, Perkins also shares her business tips to inspire fellow parents.
Entrepreneurs with kids often underestimate the importance of good childcare to support our careers and our missions (not to mention our marriages)! And you can thank Lynn Perkins, CEO and Co-Founder of UrbanSitter, for creating an app that makes finding even last minute childcare easier and more trustworthy than ever. What’s different about UrbanSitter than any other app or site is it plugs into your existing social networks to find sitters and nannies. So for example, you can link to your Facebook network, school, church, or other community organization, and you’ll instantly see the sitters that are being used regularly and recommended within.

Finding a good child care provider is one of the most challenging things I face as a working mom. I work from home most of the time so I feel weird about having someone come to my house to sit with my daughter while I'm in the other room. And there are many times when I have to go to an audition, or over a story for work and need someone last-minute. What's a mom to do? I invited the CEO and Co-Founder of UrbanSitter to share her thoughts with me. Lynn Perkins created UrbanSitter as a quick, effective tool for parents to search for child care online. As a mom herself, she tells me friends were always asking her for recommendations on a sitter and that sparked the idea to start her own website. Cut to several years later and UrbanSitter is one of the most used child care websites out there. Lynn says that's because they offer 3 critical components to child care: recommendations from people you trust, performance data and quality care providers. She also talks about she created a new UrbanSitter app and what it means for parents. She says despite the great technology available on UrbanSitter, parents should still do their own vetting and read up on the reviews for each sitter. She has more helpful insights as well, but you have to listen to this episode to get them. You can download and subscribe to Motherhood in Hollywood on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

I’ll be the first to admit that when my good friend announced her pregnancy, I was bummed. There goes our friendship, I thought. No martinis with the mama-to-be for nine months. I bet our post-baby girls’ brunch plans will fizzle because Baby’s sick or doesn’t have a sitter. Her social-media pages will suddenly look like a Buy Buy Baby catalog. Whether the thought of kids brings the word “icky” to mind or you’re one fulfilled mama, we can all agree it takes a dang village to raise a human being. So, today, have a little patience with your pregnant friends as they navigate the most important change in their lives. And it never hurts to offer to be a surrogate martini drinker in the meantime!

The first Russian Revolution has failed. The Tsar dissolves the Duma at will and refuses to make concessions to the liberal parties of the Duma. The socialists are driven underground, imprisoned or exiled in large numbers. As the Social Democratic Parties of Europe grow in power and influence. Mensheviks and Bolsheviks look to their comrades for support and example, particularly the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Meanwhile, the prospect of world war looms in the background, threatening to destroy the world as they knew it.
