ordered to discontinue the teaching of parshas hashavua

Harav Yitzchok Hershkovitz shlita, Rosh Kollel Choshen Mishpat, is tirelessly consumed with alerting the masses regarding the government’s takeover of the Chareidi chinuch. He tells of meeting with a Rav of a chassidus, and discussing the chinuch situation of the chassidus’s mosad. When he felt that his words weren’t penetrating, he spoke frankly; “Does the Rav agree that there exist smoking ovens of the Misrad HaChinuch? He answered, ‘Yes.’ There are explicit programs plans [to this effect], everything is barah kachamah. Does the Rav agree that there are secular people standing at the opening of the ovens, waiting for the moment that they can scorch neshamos? The inspectors are in complete control [of the curriculum], there are commands issued in writing and by mouth. There are plans exactly how to destroy Yiddishe kinder. The Rav agrees? He said, ‘Yes.’ The Rav then agrees that the neshamos are aboard the trains heading to the gas chambers. The only disagreement that we have is; where is the train now holding. You say it is holding at the last stop before the ovens, and I say that it is already holding at the opening of the ovens. Even if [you are correct] that it is holding at the last stop, is that not enough of a reason to exit?!”

One gan was ordered by an inspector to utterly discontinue the teaching of parshas hashavua. The gannenet inquired, “What should I teach?” The inspector replied, “Teach about the human body.” If parshas hashavua is prohibited, we can safely assume that the teaching of the human body will not be designed toward revealing its Creator.

Vaccines & Autism: How the Media Lie about the 1998 Lancet Study

Vaccines & Autism: How the Media Lie about the 1998 Lancet Study

by Jeremy R. Hammond

Hammond tells us that Wakefield never said the MMR causes autism but that there is a possible connection that needs to be investigated.

This is what the study actually said with respect to the hypothesis of an association between the MMR vaccine and autism.

In eight children, the onset of behavioural problems had been linked, either by the parents or by the child’s physician, with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. Five had had an early adverse reaction to immunisation (rash, fever, delirium; and, in three cases, convulsions).
…
We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described. Virological studies are underway that may help to resolve this issue.
If there is a causal link between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and this syndrome, a rising incidence might be anticipated after the introduction of this vaccine in the UK in 1988. Published evidence is inadequate to show whether there is a change in incidence or a link with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. A genetic predisposition to autisic-spectrum disorders is suggested by over-representation in boys and a greater concordance rate in monozygotic than in dizybotic twins.

As for the alleged retraction by the coauthors, they wrote:

The main thrust of this paper was the first description of an unexpected intestinal lesion in the children reported. Further evidence has been forthcoming in studies from the Royal Free Centre for Paediatric Gastroenterology and other groups to support and extend these findings. While much uncertainty remains about the nature of these changes, we believe it important that such work continues, as autistic children can potentially be helped by recognition and treatment of gastrointestinal problems.

We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient. However, the possibility of such a link was raised and consequent events have had major implications for public health. In view of this, we consider now is the appropriate time that we should together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper, according to the precedent.

Read Hammond's full article. It's mind opening as to how a religion has been formed around vaccines.

Satmar Rebbe

When the Rebbe came to America, he found a handful of his followers sitting in a beis medrash all day, davening and learning. He summoned them and insisted that they find jobs to support their families. “If I had the strength, I’d also go to work,” he said. He could not ignore the American emphasis on material well-being. In America especially, one had to be mindful of the dictum that poverty can sway a man from loyalty to his Creator (Mishlei 30:9). Moreover, a viable community could only take shape if it is self-supporting on a level comparable to that of the surrounding society.
