      Little Hitlers

      by Tamar Yonah

      Little Hitlers all over the place.  In the Mosques, on TV, being viewed by millions of children who grow up with this poison accompanied by their mother's anti-Semitic milk. One wouldn't believe this is all taking place in the years of the 2000's + , but it is.  I hope my father, who went through and survived the holocaust, doesn't see this.
      If you are a Jew, or a Jew lover, this is what they are saying about YOU.  After the infidel Jews, are the infidel Christians.  
      This is a must-watch video.  Pass it on.

      Search & Rescue

      by Tamar Yonah

      I am only writing this blog, quickly and off the cuff before Shabbat, because someone sent me this non-official info, that  claims to show current serious seismic activity all over the world that is described as 'off the charts'.  In any case, it would be good for all of us, just as a precaution, to talk with our families (kids included) and make a plan for what to do if there is an earthquake in your area.  Israel is long overdue for a big  earthquake by the way.  

       
      One of the greatest tips I remember from a  fireman I once interviewed on my show, was to have a meeting place outside the home, in case of a fire or major building damage where it is unsafe to stay in the house.  He told me something like this:

      "I never got so upset on the job, as when we had a fire in a house, and it was very bad, and the parents and kids were outside screaming to save their missing child.  I ran back into the building, putting my own life in extreme danger, when after almost being killed, they found out that the missing child was actually already outside of the house, but didn't stand near their family (for whatever reason) and they didn't know the child was out and safe.  I almost lost my life because of this needless lack of organization and preparedness."  
      Therefore,  he said, "ALWAYS make a plan, and even do a dry run, of what to do if there is a fire, how to escape if the exits are blocked from fire, as in the stairwell, and you are all sleeping upstairs and can't get to the ground floor."  

      After that show I did, which was several years ago and my kids still quite young, we did make a plan and did a run through.  We also prepared the family's escape if the steps to the ground floor were unattainable. We took a strong thick rope and put it in the kid's room, tied it to the leg of their heaviest piece of furniture (bed or dresser), and then instructed the kids on how to throw the other end of rope out the window for emergency escape where they could get down more or less, to safety.

       The Fireman added:  Most important as well, is to make a meeting place not too close to the house, maybe a house or two away, where there is a big tree, or a street lamp,  or corner, or some meeting place, etc... and tell all the family to meet there in case the house catches fire, or has to be evacuated because of an earthquake or some other emergency.  This way, you can all know who is out of the dangerous structure, and who is still, G-d forbid, trapped inside.  Then fire and rescue personal don't need to put their lives in danger by charging into the building for a rescue when there was no need for it. 

      Just posting this blog quickly, as it could be a good idea to make a plan, and discuss an emergency situation for your family, and G-d forbid, we should never, ever, need it.

      Shabbat shalom,

      The Happiest Man in America

      by Tamar Yonah

      Who was estimated by Gallup to be the 'happiest person in America'?  Any guesses?  Hint:  They stay away from eating cheese burgers.

      Could it be:
      Charlie Sheen?  no.
      Lindsey Lohan?  no.
      Jerry Seinfeld?  no.
      Oprah Winfrey? no.
      Barack Obama? mmmm, no.
      According to a New York Times article, Gallup made daily contact with 1,000 randomly selected Americans about things such as their emotional status, stress levels, satisfaction with their jobs, eating habits, illnesses they might have, and other factors, and then plugged all the information into the  Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index  formula, and walla:  the winner is....  (drum beat) a Chinese Jew.  Yup.  meet Alvin Wong.  Alvin was deemed to be the happiest man in America, and he doesn't even eat cheese burgers, as he keeps kosher.  He's 69 years old, married, has kids, lives in Hawaii, is  5'10" tall, makes $120,000 a year working in the health care management business, and is reported to be a Kosher-observing Jew. 

      According to statistics, men tend to be happier than women.  Older people are usually happier than middle-aged people, and so on, the NY Times article states.

      I wonder if they took the happiest person in Israel and compared him/her with Alvin.  Who would be more content with their lives?  Alvin might have a happier life, be more carefree and comfortable, but I think for me at least, and many idealistic Jews, living in Israel is infinitely more satisfying, even with all the pressures and sometimes overwhelming 'energies' swirling around here.  Not to take away from Alvin, I am quite happy he is happy!  And I think it's intriguing and wonderful that the winner is a Chinese Jew!  How cool is that?  Just wondering though, is satisfaction and contentment in life, more important than the thrill of happiness?  Otherwise, maybe we should all just throw in the towel and move to beautiful Hawaii?  But I think not.  What say you?

      Islam Won.

      by Tamar Yonah

      Islam won.  They have invaded our nations and are now calling the shots.  They are not afraid, and they have chosen the path of 'intolerance' for their host nations. 

      With the mass immigration to Europe, their high birthrate, and refusal to assimilate into their host country's culture, Europe has earned the name, 'Eurabia'.  Even if there are some friendly Muslims who aren't looking to dominate others, where are they?  Why are they so silent?  And if it is because of fear of retaliation from more extremist Muslims, then that too means that the Jihadists have won.

      A French acquaintance of mine said that France is basically lost.  With their ever-growing Islamic population there, there is hardly a family in France that doesn't already have a Muslim member in it somehow, be it a son-in-law, brother in law, uncle, cousin, etc... This cold greatly affect the future charachter of that country.  French writer Guy Milliere predicts that Muslims will be come the MAJORITY in France in just 20 years.

      Others write that 'wherever there are large numbers of Arabs, there is crime and violence, particularly against women'.

      More than half of France's 45,000 prison inmates are Muslim.  Police in France, the U.K., the Netherlands, Sweden, etc.,  are afraid to enter into Muslim neighborhoods, or to keep order at demonstrations for fear of violence and/or riots that could break out.

      In Israel, the Arabs, with recognition by the West as a legitimate owner of this land, as well as emboldening and financial help from the West, coupled with our own weak and/or sold-out leaders, are now NOT afraid to march in Tel Aviv-Yaffo and shout, "Death to Settlers" (who are the real legal owners of the Land). 

      Please view this 4 min + news report to see how they have made people feel like foreigners in their own country.  This report is important to watch - and spread.

       


      These Jihadist Muslims have already won. 

      Besides asking for Sharia law to rule in their host countries, the only other thing they ask for is 'Jihad' and to be a martyr.  The day will come when the host-countries they sojourn in will say, 'Enough!', and fight back.  But this is exactly what these Jihadists desire: war, bloodshed and martyrdom.  So they have already gotten what they wanted before the fight has even started.  They will get what they pray for, either way.  And some might say that we all probably deserve it.  What weak, pathetic leaders we have today.  What a lazy la-la-land we chose to live in with our denial of what is surely to come.  Yup.  They'll get the war they want, we'll get the war we tried to foolishly avoid, and they will win, because, even if they lose, in the end they will get what they wanted:  Jihad, bloodshed and martyrdom.

      Oh No, Not Again!

      by Tamar Yonah

      Conspiracy Theorist Test
      Look at this logo of the 2012 London Olympics.  What do you see?


      Oh no, not again.  This video below will turn your stomach, because we don't want to learn what the Anti-Semites are saying.  But we need to know.
      See what the BBC reports about it:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12604512
      And here's what the Jew-hating Anti-Semite Conspiracy Theorists are saying about it: (I hope you have an air-sickness bag near you)  
      (If Youtube video doesn't show below, then click HERE.)
       

      Well, imagination has run wild again with the Anti-Semites of the world.  They are now claiming that the logo of the 2012 London Olympics is a Zionist plot.  Do you see the word ZION written there?  Do you see a 'swastika' there also?  I mean, if this WAS some Jewish conspiracy, wouldn't we at least be smart enough to put something else subliminally in the logo, like a real tasty falafel and an airplane in it to lure people to tour Israel, spend tourist dollars and get a tasty falafel to boot?  
      Really, we could have done better if we Israeli 'Zionists' had designed it.  
      (Hat tip to Robin Shepherd who sent out the BBC piece on this.) 

      Let's have fun with this.  Leave your 'zionist plot' ideas for an Olympic 2012 logo below. Let's show these anti-Semites what we've got!  LOL
