TOPIC: Somehow the anti-New-World-Order movement has been conditioned to accept, vote for, and defend people behind experimental gene therapy, microchips, digital currency, and collusion with foreign governments. The incoming presidential administration designated as the ‘golden age of America' has allocated cabinet selection to billionaire zionist Howard Lutnick and jewish zealot Jared Kushner, responsible for installing 15 and counting zionist, Israel-first, members of every major department of government from the CIA and EPA to the DOD and DNI. At least three picks are also members of the World Economic Forum openly, not to mention the selection of Brian Hook for negotiating peace with the zionist ‘Big-Israel' Ukraine, who is a Warhawk demanding war with Iran like the other cabinet picks. The incoming Senate Majority of Republicans, who are replacing the Democrats that want to criminalize the Bible alongside zealot Republicans, are calling on The Hague Invasion Act which would allow for “all necessary means” to be enacted to protect Israel agains international legal prosecution - including invading on the ground any country that backs such investigators and warrants. America is occupied by foreign, hostile, demonic, parasites, and they have gotten everyone to support the New World Order, Zionist, Sabbatean, Frankish, death cult. These are the Hexagram Handlers. With the 100 million dollar donation of Mariam Adelson to Trump and her belief that Trump is the Jewish savior, or Messiah, and with the MAGA mark, from the High Priest of the Church of Satan, firmly on the heads of millions of Christians and Jews, it is obvious what is unfolding with the building of Armageddon in the Middle East and the promise of the building of the Third Temple.

Was he right? In this episode we discuss:What was the impact of Sabbateanism after its messianic fervor died down? How can studying Jewish history deepen one's connection with Judaism? What is Frankism, and why is it a fascination of present-day antisemitic conspiracy theorists?Tune in to hear a conversation about what the rupture from the Sabbatean movement can teach us about the wide range of Jewish identities we see today. Interview begins at 16:07.Pawel Maciejko is an associate professor of history and Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Chair in Classical Jewish Religion, Thought, and Culture at Johns Hopkins University. Between 2005 and 2016 he taught at the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His first book, The Mixed Multitude: Jacob Frank and the Frankist Movement, 1755–1816, was awarded the Salo Baron Prize by the American Academy of Jewish Research and the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award by the Association for Jewish Studies.References:Not in the Heavens: The Tradition of Jewish Secular Thought by David BialeMakers of Jewish Modernity: Thinkers, Artists, Leaders, and the World They Made edited by Jacques Picard, Jacques Revel, Michael P.

We cont. sketching this turn-of-the-century secret societal web, picking up w/ the Ancient & Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim; we talk the Swedenborg Rite & the Freemasonic Jacobite super spy Emmanuel Swedenborg—a fascinating precursor of the history of the Tory Crowley infiltrating the Jacobite elements w/in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; we talk the Baal Shem of London, Dr. Jacob Falk, & his pupil Cagliostro; William Blake; William Butler Yeats & SL MacGregor Mathers' Jacobite arms trading activities in the HOGD; the Asiatic Brethren's involvement in espionage; Jacob Frank's cousin, the Freemason Moses Dobruschka (founder of the Asiatic Brethren), who was executed following the French Revolution by guillotine; the Third Reich acting as the transition point from secret societal supremacy into the aeon of the intelligence agency, which has superseded the fraternal order in secrecy, influence, & power in the modern era; the raft of crypto-fascists & Nazis in the Rite of Memphis-Misraim; Were the Illuminati Revivals in Germany, France, & Britain somehow a microcosm of int'l relations at the time?... & ...What does their history say about the role that secret societies played in the events leading up to the World Wars (such as Illuminists like Reuss & Crowley getting involved in all manner of spying)?; Koop's insight about how the Sabbatean & Frankist heresies & their offshoots played an integral role in teaching Cabala to these gentile secret societies; the implications of these antisemitic Jewish heresies so fundamentally influencing Z***ism of both the Christian & Jewish varieties; which we have to bring back to Erik Jan Hanussen, of course, in light of his apparent Sabbatean lineage, which inevitably forces us to return to the long & sordid entanglement of secret societies & sexual blackmail; EJH as blueprint & precursor of future Mossad sexual blackmail entrapment schemes a la Epstein; Moses Dobruschka's pseudonyms & the Asiatic Brethren's mandate of bringing Jews & Christians together through mutual sin (transgressive rituals alert!); Jewish assimilation into gentile society; a last assertion from Koopa that the secret religion of the elites is largely gnostic in character; a degree in the Illuminati based off of a gnostic heresy; and finally, the eternal conundrum: how much of this is us ascribing meaning to nonstop secret society syncretism and how much of it is bona fide secret history?; plus a ton more.

See video of this interview at Pusterom.comAuthor and investigative journalist Leo Lyon Zagami grew up in secret societies in an Italian-British family. He lived in Norway for about ten years and experienced very active and influential secret societies in the country. At one point, he decided to exit these groups and expose their activities. In this episode, Zagami tells how this led to his arrest by PST (Norwegian Police Security Service), accused of espionage. He has experienced how the military industrial complex in Norway is being heavily controlled by these societies, and how they can do almost anything they want because people are so naïve about it. He is also taking us for a deep dive into the spirituality of the Freemasons (Frimurerne) and showing how a “one world religion” and a “one world government” are being established.Leo Lyon Zagami:› leozagami.com› Books on AmazonSome of the topics discussed:› Freemasonary (search)› Illuminati (search)› Masonic orders (search)› Gnosticism (search)› Jesuits (search)› Emanuel Swedenborg (search)› Jacob Frank (search)› Sabbatean frankism (search)› elisabeth first (search)› john dee (search)› francis bacon (search)› the knight templar (search)› the rosicrucian movement (search)› Knights of Malta (search)› Adam Weishaupt (search)› The aera of illuminism (search)› The Asian Brethren (search)› Know thyself - Oracle of Delphi (search)› The new age phenonomen (search)› Allister Crowley (search)› Madame Blavatsky (search)› Theosophy (search)› Anton Lavey (search)› St Olav (search)› The Nag Hammadi (search)› Dead Sea Scrolls (search)› Grand Lodge in Colombia • Photo one • Photo two› Nicholaj Frisvold› St John cross (search)› Politimann: Slår Frimurer-alarm› Leo Zagami's Norwegian ExperienceRelated video:› CONFESSIONS OF AN ILLUMINATI VOLUME 8: Zeena Shreek and Michael Aquino on The Geraldo Rivera ShowRelated news article:› Lensmann drev storstilt med eiendom bak politimesterens rygg • “Det er strenge regler for hva ansatte i politiet kan drive med ved siden av jobb.

Five centuries after the forced conversion of Spanish and Portuguese Jews to Catholicism, stories of these conversos' descendants uncovering long-hidden Jewish roots have come to light and taken hold of the literary and popular imagination. This seemingly remote history has inspired a wave of contemporary writing involving hidden artifacts, familial whispers and secrets, and clandestine Jewish ritual practices pointing to a past that had been presumed dead and buried. The Converso's Return: Conversion and Sephardi History in Contemporary Literature and Culture (Stanford UP, 2020) explores the cultural politics and literary impact of this reawakened interest in converso and crypto-Jewish history, ancestry, and identity, and asks what this fascination with lost-and-found heritage can tell us about how we relate to and make use of the past. Dalia Kandiyoti offers nuanced interpretations of contemporary fictional and autobiographical texts about crypto-Jews in Cuba, Mexico, New Mexico, Spain, France, the Ottoman Empire, and Turkey. These works not only imagine what might be missing from the historical archive but also suggest an alternative historical consciousness that underscores uncommon convergences of and solidarities within Sephardi, Christian, Muslim, converso, and Sabbatean histories. Steeped in diaspora, Sephardi, transamerican, Iberian, and world literature studies, The Converso's Return illuminates how the converso narrative can enrich our understanding of history, genealogy, and collective memory.

I of our collaborative investigation into the Nazi telepath, sexual blackmailer, & British intelligence asset Erik Jan Hanussen before we drop the second installment in just a day or two.

II when it releases: https://www.patreon.com/ThingsObserved/posts Make sure to give Luke a follow on Twitter at @thingobserver, as well. Pt. II is guaranteed to be a wild ride... Including mandrake root magical workings at Hitler's behest & the putrid, upchuck-causing folkloric etiology of the herb; the German poet-spy Hans Heinz Ewers & his relationship w/ Hanussen (a potential Crowley connection); and speculations about the possibility that EJH & Crowley may have met in Egypt—what may be novel & not-yet-noticed overlaps in the lives of the two spies... In Part I, we unpack a ton. Hanussen's early life as a vaudeville brat & carny in fin de siècle Austro-Hungary; his possible Sabbatean or Frankist lineage, an antinomian inheritance that's interesting to consider when juxtaposed w/ his future Nazism; his WWI service & cemetery séances; his bribery of military censors; his telepathic & mentalist routines; connections to experimental psychologists like Joe Labéro, Sigmund Freud, & Paul Schilder; "muscle reading", which connects to MasSUSchusetts proponents of hypnotherapy like William James; criminal telepathy; Hanussen's work as a hypnotist at the Institute for Breath Therapy & the Spittalgasse nerve clinic, which hints at his later hypnosis of a tobacco magnate, which would in turn lead to Hanussen getting involved in arms trading & espionage; Hanussen's attempt to insert himself into the investigation into one of Germany's most deadly & disgusting serial killers ever—the Vampire of Düsseldorf aka Peter Kurten; a possible proto-MKULTRA angle to the Düsseldorf killing; shades of Thelemic sex magic in Kurten's paraphilia, which foreshadows the possible connections b/w Crowley & Hanussen that we'll discuss in more detail in Pt. II; Hanussen's early sexual blackmail experiences while working for the Viennese tabloid Der Blitz, which prefigures his later blackmail of Nazis like Count Helldorf on his pleasure yacht the Ursel IV; and a ton more.

For the 1st time, I'm joined on the show by another livin' breathing, critically paranoid podcaster. Luke Marshall from Things Observed has arrived to help guide a collab investigation into the mental life & times of the Nazi Nostradamus, sexual blackmailer, & psychic spy known as Erik Jan Hanussen. A Crowleyan figure who, as we'll see, may have been a British intel asset (it's not unlikely that he worked directly with the Beast 666 himself in some capacity)... We're talking about the Jewish telepath who attempted to blackmail his way into becoming the Nazi "Minister of the Occult" & who was ultimately assassinated by the orders of SA-Gruppenführer Karl Ernst, a murder likely connected to Hanussen's involvement in the Reichstag Fire (or prior knowledge of it). In Pt. II, we explore interpretations of Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & claims that he hypnotized the "Communist" patsy Marinus van der Lubbe, who was ultimately pinned w/ the crime.  To unlock the full version of the EP, subscribe to the PPM Patreon: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping ...

Original Manuscript of סֵפֶר "שָׁרְשֵׁי שֵׁמוֹת" מֵהָרֶמֶ"ז, and two original classics from the Emden-Eibeschutz fights: לֻחוֹת עֵדוּת" וְ"סֵפֶר שִׁמּוּשׁ"

The Jewish world of the 18th century was at the nexus of internal and external transformative events which would lead into the modern era. Political changes included the effects of the Seven Years War in central Europe and the partitions of Poland to the east. Internal Jewish disputes such as the Get of Kleves and the Rav Emden Rav Eybeschutz controversy, were accompanied by the challenges presented by the remnants of the Sabbatean movement, the spread of the nascent Chassidic movement and the early Haskala. With a leadership career spanning the majority of this tempestuous century, Rav Yechezkal Landau (1713-1793), the Noda B'yehuda, rose to the occasion navigating through the turbulent waters which the Jewish community faced throughout. World renowned as a posek, he also ran a yeshiva and exhibited prodigious leadership skills both internally as well as with the government of Austria.    For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:  PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Dr. Goldish provides a detailed analysis on the history of messianic movements, with a specific focus on a relatively recent false messiah, Shabbetai Ẓevi. We discuss the influence on Zoharic and Lurianic Kabbalah on Ẓevi and his prophet, Nathan of Gaza. This story has been largely swept under the rug and if we don't learn our history, we're doomed to repeat it. What's troubling is that a large portion of the Jewish population believed he was the messiah, included respected Talmidei Hakhamim and Rabbis. How did they all fall for this, considering that he was openly breaking Halakha, including his eventual conversion to Islam? Find out how the after-effects of Sabbateanism still linger today via his remaining followers in Turkey and other unsuspecting Jewish sects its ideas crept into. And how can we have a healthier approach to awaiting Mashiach that isn't destructive and doesn't lead to extremism?

R' Yaakov Koppel Lifschitz was an early-18th-century Kabbalist whose key writings -- the Sha'ar Gan Eden ("Gateway to the Garden of Eden") and the Siddur Kol Ya'akov -- evinced strong Sabbatean influences. They, in turn, were held in very high esteem by the Ba'al Shem Tov. In this episode, Gavin and Jordan explore Lifschitz as a possible link between Shabbetai Tzvi's legacy and the early years of the Hassidic movement, with some digressions into R' Nachman of Breslov's attitude toward rationalism.

Quick-change sheydim in fur coats. Sabbatean demons? And what to believe before breakfast.

Boston podcaster and author Charles Moscowitz is joined by YouTube host Doovid in a discussion about the legacy of the false Jewish messiah Shabbatai Zvai.

Baruch Spinoza the was the most famous philosopher the Jews ever produced, but he had to leave the fold in order to speak his truth. He crowned reason king of creation at the same time as the mythic imagination of the Sabbatean heretics was coming to a boil.

Hasidic Studies: Essays in History and Gender is a collection of essays that spans over 40 years and challenges many received notions about the history of Hasidism —its origins, the evolving nature of its structure, its leadership and perhaps most controversially, the role of women in the movement. Unlike other historians who have attributed the rise of Hasidism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to either social, political, or economic crises, Rapoport-Albert refuses to ignore the spiritual dimensions and efforts on the part Hasidism to renew religious practice. While others see a strict periodization in which there was a self-conscious founding and institutionalization, here we are given the sense of an organic pietistic movement informed by the Kabbalistic tradition but open to society rather than ascetic, and nurtured by a productive opposition. Moreover, rather than conceding to the common characterization of Hasidism as a folkish and populist movement, Hasidic Studies complicates this picture by uncovering a Hasidism that was shaped around its charismatic leaders. Throughout, the question of sources plays a central role, and rather than ignore as biased the attempts of Hasidim to write their own history, Rapoport-Albert excavates from these documents crucial evidence embedded unconsciously or matter-of-factly. The second half of the book attacks the apologetic representations of Hasidism as either egalitarian or proto-feminist – as giving women a new sense of “spiritual agency”—by showing them to be excluded from leadership as a rule and a family life divorced from traditional structures. Often Hasidism has been cast as a continuation of early modern heretical movements, particularly the messianic movement that arose around Sabbatai Zevi in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, Rapoport-Albert argues that Hasidism was in fact a retreat towards stricter traditional values, particularly regarding the prominent position given to women in the Sabbatean movement and its sexual mores. In Women and the Messianic Heresy of Sabbtai Zevi 1666 – 1816, a study of the life and afterlife of the messianic movement that arose around the messianic figure of Sabbtai Zevi, Rapoport-Albert sees female spirituality as its hallmark. Here women act as a key to the movement as a whole and in understanding its relationship to normative Judaism. The book suggests a movement with a feminist-like agenda in which women play an integral part of the messianic community—as leaders, prophets, and spiritual activists—in its reading into the nature of heresy, mysticism, and community in the early modern period.

Hasidic Studies: Essays in History and Gender is a collection of essays that spans over 40 years and challenges many received notions about the history of Hasidism —its origins, the evolving nature of its structure, its leadership and perhaps most controversially, the role of women in the movement. Unlike other historians who have attributed the rise of Hasidism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to either social, political, or economic crises, Rapoport-Albert refuses to ignore the spiritual dimensions and efforts on the part Hasidism to renew religious practice. While others see a strict periodization in which there was a self-conscious founding and institutionalization, here we are given the sense of an organic pietistic movement informed by the Kabbalistic tradition but open to society rather than ascetic, and nurtured by a productive opposition. Moreover, rather than conceding to the common characterization of Hasidism as a folkish and populist movement, Hasidic Studies complicates this picture by uncovering a Hasidism that was shaped around its charismatic leaders. Throughout, the question of sources plays a central role, and rather than ignore as biased the attempts of Hasidim to write their own history, Rapoport-Albert excavates from these documents crucial evidence embedded unconsciously or matter-of-factly. The second half of the book attacks the apologetic representations of Hasidism as either egalitarian or proto-feminist – as giving women a new sense of “spiritual agency”—by showing them to be excluded from leadership as a rule and a family life divorced from traditional structures. Often Hasidism has been cast as a continuation of early modern heretical movements, particularly the messianic movement that arose around Sabbatai Zevi in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, Rapoport-Albert argues that Hasidism was in fact a retreat towards stricter traditional values, particularly regarding the prominent position given to women in the Sabbatean movement and its sexual mores. In Women and the Messianic Heresy of Sabbtai Zevi 1666 – 1816, a study of the life and afterlife of the messianic movement that arose around the messianic figure of Sabbtai Zevi, Rapoport-Albert sees female spirituality as its hallmark. Here women act as a key to the movement as a whole and in understanding its relationship to normative Judaism. The book suggests a movement with a feminist-like agenda in which women play an integral part of the messianic community—as leaders, prophets, and spiritual activists—in its reading into the nature of heresy, mysticism, and community in the early modern period.
