The insurgent phenomenon of lies perpetuated as truth has been with mankind arguably from the beginning of time. The cancerous sin of lying is so significant it is the 9th Commandment of the Ten laid out as a guide for mankind to follow.
Lies and dishonesty have devastating consequences for humans. It erodes trust, cheapens, and renders every aspect of our lives worthwhile. Imagine being unable to enjoy a game because the outcome is predetermined based on fraud and dishonesty.
Lies become cancer that eats away at society. When the average voter is lied to, that his vote doesn’t count. That elections are rigged and the winner is the loser and the loser, the consequences are devastating for everyone.
- You shall have no other God before me.
- Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images. …
- Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. …
- Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. …
- Honor your father and mother. …
- Thou shalt not kill. …
- Thou shalt not commit adultery. …
- Thou shalt not steal.
- Thou shalt not bear false witness.
•Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor…
As man has transgressed the other nine commandments, so have we ignored the 9th commandment without regard for the truth or consequence. To the liar, the art of lying can be immensely beneficial; Christopher Columbus happened upon the Americas and laid claim to the land occupied by people, but the lie that he [discovered] the Americas became a truth that has been used to legitimize the extermination and enslavement of arguably hundreds of millions of people.
Donald Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 elections is still shaking the foundations of America, splitting the nation of 331 million people into two camps. There is no end in sight as to the cumulative cost to the world’s oldest democratic nation.
Just as the United States has been built on the backs of enslaved Africans, so has America continued to build out its own empire of Colonization. It has also exported white supremacy across the globe, creating immeasurable tragedy and pain for billions across the globe.
Adolph Hitler looked to America’s racism to design his final solution for those he wanted to eliminate. South Africa’s Apartheid system and the other interloping race-based systems across the African continent were designed from the ignoble system practiced right here in America.
One could argue that the United States had nothing to do with being copied, but that is far from the truth. The United States actively supported the Apartheid system in Southern Africa economically and used its overwhelming influence to label the freedom fighters in that country terrorists. Nelson Mandela remained on the U.S. terrorist watch lists until 2008.
The Europeans occupying the land of Palestine have no legitimate claim to Palestine outside the ridiculous claim that God promised them the land. To begin with, it is beyond a stretch to imagine that a white European who fled Nazi Germany and was allowed to settle on land in Palestine by Harry Truman can trace their bloodline to ancient Hebrew people (Jews).
In fact, (a) the Ancient Hebrews have always lived in Palestine. (b) Others are still returning to Palestine, and not a single one of them is white. They are Black people. The only true Hebrews (Jews) are the ancient Black people, the descendants of the people Moses led from Egypt.
The white supremacist Zionist régime that rules Palestine has subjugated those returning Africans to the worst indignities and relegated them to a tiny area of the Negev desert.
Nevertheless, the United States and its allies Britain and other so-called Western powers have made the world believe that those who co-opted the Jewish faith and fled Germany during Hitler’s rule have a legitimate right to return to a land they have never seen under the preposterous claim that God promised them the land. It is the same preposterous claim as discovering land people have lived on from the beginning of time.
Worse yet, despite the horrific conditions that the Palestinian people have been forced to endure, the conditions that bred their militancy are being marketed to the world as terrorism.
Even Black Christian Pastors preach the fraudulent theology that their Christian God sanctions the state of Israel. The disconnect is that the Zionist régime in Palestine does not recognize their Christian God. So if Israel is right, then they are preaching a fake gospel.
There is absolutely no legitimate argument to be made for the existence of a state of Israel outside of the ridiculous claim that God promised them the land. First off, even if God promised the Jews a homeland in Palestine, the white Germans who fled Hitler had no claim to that promise because they were not true Hebrews. Zionists do [not] believe in the Christian God, neither do Christians believe in Judaism. Yet America’s support for the illegal interloping state of Israel is based on nothing but racism, the kind that has ruled the world for five hundred years.
The myth of a religious connection has long been dismantled, and the truth laid bare. Most Americans who say they support Israel cannot articulate the reason for their support. Neither can they explain why they agree that billions of dollars of their tax dollars are spent annually to prop up a country that has nothing to do with them.
In conclusion, it is important to reconcile that America’s support for the illicit state of Israel is based on one thing only: racism. The Apartheid system in Palestine has treated the Palestinian people as America treated Blacks for hundreds of years.
it is a fantastic lie that has even Black people pledging fealty to a state that sees them as less than humans. Racism is at the heart of the idea of the so-called Jewish state.
