Secret bunker discovered in Warsaw Ghetto - 76 years later

 

Dozens of pairs of tefillin (phylacteries) have been discovered hidden in a previously-undiscovered bunker in the Warsaw Ghetto,Israel Hayom reported.

The tefillin are a century old but well-preserved, and seem to have been placed in the bunker by the Jews who hid there during the Holocaust. Though the Jews were removed from the bunker and likely killed, the tefillin remained in their hiding place.

The bunker itself was built by the Warsaw Ghetto rebels.

The discovery comes as Polish authorities began a renewal of the city, destroying Warsaw Ghetto buildings in order to construct residential buildings. During the construction, the entry to a bunker was discovered, leading workers to investigate.

When one of the workers descended into the bunker to clear it out, he discovered dozens of pairs of tefillin hidden in a corner behind books and other objects.

Representatives of the Shem Olam Institute, who are scattered throughout Europe, heard of the discovery from local contacts who they keep in touch with in order to gather information on such cases.

The representatives turned secretly to the construction workers, requesting that they turn over the tefillin that were found. After lengthy negotiations and a promise to keep their cooperation secret from Polish authorities, the tefillin were passed to the representatives. The task of transferring the tefillin was done secretly but under the noses of the authorities. A short time ago, the tefillin arrived in Israel and underwent cleaning and preservation at Shem Olam.

"The discovery of dozens of pairs of tefillin concentrated in one place testifies to the Jewish lifestyle that they kept carefully in the ghetto," said Shem Olam Director Rabbi Avraham Krieger. "Despite the horrors and the brutal reality they lived in, they continued to keep the traditions and customs they were raised on."

"The number of pairs of tefillin testifies to underground minyans (quorum of 10 men for prayer), which they managed to hold within the bunker, underground and under the noses of the Nazis. The tefillin were hidden beside weapons and the equipment that served the rebels of the Warsaw Ghetto, testifying to the importance that they held in the Jews' eyes."

Malka Leifer Extradited Will finally Face Her Accusers in Australia

Her Accusers

Malka Leifer, the disgraced former Australian educator accused of dozens of counts of child sex abuse, was extradited from Israel back to Australia Monday morning, hours before Israel imposes a near-total travel ban to and from the country.

In December, then-Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn signed off on Leifer’s expulsion order, removing the last barrier to her extradition to Australia.

The Supreme Court repeatedly rejected appeals by Leifer, upholding lower court decisions clearing the way for her extradition to Australia to face 74 charges of child sex abuse.

Allegations first surfaced against Leifer in 2008, while she was serving as principal at a haredi school in Melbourne.

Before authorities could arrest her, however, Leifer fled to Israel, moving to the town of Emmanuel.

Since 2014, Leifer has faced efforts to secure her extradition, but managed to stymie the extradition process with legal challenges, claiming that she was mentally unfit to stand trial.

While the claim was initially accepted by a court in 2016, private investigators later uncovered evidence showing Leifer had deceived the court, and that she was in fact capable of standing trial.

The lengthy delays in securing Leifer’s extradition strained ties between Israel and Australia, which repeatedly demanded Leifer’s immediate return to stand trial.

The Magen organization lauded Leifer’s extradition, while lamenting the lengthy legal process required.

“We are so happy that today, Malka Leifer has finally been extradited to Australia,” the group said in a statement Monday morning.

“It has taken over 70 hearings for Israel to rule on her extradition, but this important milestone in the victims’ quest for justice has finally arrived. We continue to stand by the courageous survivors and support them as they begin the next chapter through the Australian justice system.”

“As an organization and as a community, we must continue to take a stand and fight for victims of sexual abuse, that the state of Israel not be used as a safe haven for sex offenders, and that this gross manipulation of the justice system may never happen again.”

Why Isn't John Brennen former CIA Director in Prison?

                                  

By David Harsanyi

Every time former CIA Director John Brennan appears on cable news to warn about some new “insidious threat to democracy,” I am reminded again that he deserves to be in federal prison. 

In this corrupt media environment, however, the official who oversaw an illegal domestic-spying operation on the legislative branch of the US government, who tried to cover it up and blame innocent Senate staffers when discovered and who then brazenly lied about it to legislators and the American people — this man is held up as a paragon of civic virtue.

We still don’t even know what role Brennan played in spying on his political opponents during the 2016 campaign. We do know he went on TV for years after, alleging to have insider knowledge of an unprecedented seditious criminal conspiracy against the United States. Never once was he challenged by his hosts. And when an independent multimillion-dollar investigation couldn’t pull together a single indictment related to those claims, Brennan shrugged it off by saying that he may have “received bad information.”

Exposing Fauci's Outright Lies and Damaging Misinformation

In his inauguration speech, President Biden pledged to “defend the truth and to defeat the lies.” 

So let’s start by being brutally honest about Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been the source of some of the most damaging misinformation about COVID-19. 

At the very least, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert and chief medical adviser to Biden is loose with the facts and is prone to changing his mind. 

This is the man who dictated coronavirus policy in the Trump administration. If mistakes were made, as the Biden administration claims, they are Fauci’s. 

Yet, astonishingly, Fauci told CNN Friday that a “lack of candor” from the Trump administration had cost American lives. 

But if people’s lives really were at stake last year, why did he wait until now to tell us? 

Chalk it up to another convenient fib from a habitual fibber, who has deceived us on everything from masks to herd immunity. 

Even if you decide these are not lies but lapses of judgment by Fauci, they had potentially lethal consequences. 

Take, for instance, Fauci’s serenity back on Jan. 21 last year, when he assured us that the virus convulsing China at the time “is not something the citizens of the United States should be worried about.” 

To be fair, the pandemic caught a lot of people unaware, but the thing about Fauci is that he always is so sure of himself. 

The following week, he was at it again, vehemently opposing Donald Trump’s proposed flight ban from China, which Biden at the time decried as “xenophobia.” 

It was Jan. 28, and Trump had asked his trade adviser, Peter Navarro, into the Situation Room to convince Fauci and other officials that the China travel ban would save lives. 

“The guy I fought the most that day was Fauci,” Navarro told me Sunday. “He was adamantly opposed to the travel ban. All he kept saying was travel restrictions don’t work.” 

Navarro pushed back, “ ‘If you stop 20,000 Chinese nationals coming in every day and some are infected, you’re telling me that’s not going to spread the virus?’ It was like talking to a brick wall.” 

The next day, Navarro wrote a memo outlining three options: If you do nothing and there’s no danger, that’s OK; if you do the travel ban and there’s no danger, you lose a few million dollars; but if you do nothing and there is danger, the risk is a million American lives and more than $2 trillion in damages. 

“I papered everybody in the task force with the memo and . . . it flipped everyone to supporting the president,” Navarro said.

Mohamed Busted for Storing 900 Propane Tanks in Brooklyn

 

The manager of a Brooklyn warehouse was charged with reckless endangerment after fire inspectors nabbed him with a stash of more than 900 propane cylinders, officials said.

Mohamed Mohamed, 58, who runs the Gowanus warehouse, was arrested after fire inspectors uncovered the combustible stockpile of 20-pound propane tanks on Friday, the FDNY said on Twitter.

“If not for the due diligence of our fire inspectors, there’s a great danger,” FDNY spokesman James Long said Sunday. “It could let loose and explode in a manner that could be deadly.” 

“You introduce a fire to that scenario and it’s a fire that is advanced,” Long said. “It could level a city block.”

Fire inspectors said the cylinders were stacked “from floor to ceiling.”

“He was charged with storing over 900 propane tanks in an unoccupied building,” a police source said. 

Mohamed, of Bayonne, NJ, admitted that he was ordering the tanks in bulk so he could sell them to someone else, who in turn was peddling the propane to Big Apple restaurants so they could heat their outdoor serving areas during indoor-dining prohibitions due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials said. 

In all, the fire marshals uncovered 904 of the cylinders, the department said. 

Mohamed did not return a call seeking comment on Sunday.

He was released on a desk appearance ticket, police said.

Remember When Biden Said "Tump Has no Plan Controlling the Virus"... Now Elected He Says "Nothing We Can Do to Fight the Virus"

 Joe Biden insisted repeatedly during his campaign that he had a definitive plan on how to combat COVID-19 as opposed to President Trump’s policies on the pandemic. Prior to the election, Biden’s campaign revealed the ambitious  “Biden plan to combat coronavirus and prepare for future global health threats.”

Biden outlined a medical response including “a decisive public health response that ensures the wide availability of free testing; the elimination of all cost barriers to preventive care and treatment for COVID-19; the development of a vaccine; and the full deployment and operation of necessary supplies, personnel, and facilities.” He also detailed an economic response in which he would “start with emergency paid leave for all those affected by the outbreak and gives all necessary help to workers, families, and small businesses that are hit hard by this crisis,” as well as taking “further decisive action to address the larger macro-economic shock from this outbreak.”

In a tweet just prior to the election, Biden assured the American public that “We’re eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to get this virus under control. I do.”

Biden stressed that “in a moment of crisis, leadership requires listening to experts and communicating credible information to the American public. We must move boldly, smartly, and swiftly.”

Yet just days into his presidency, the “credible information to the American public” appeared in the form of another tweet stating that “There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”  If there is nothing that we can do, how could Biden have touted such a detailed plan in recent months and how could he say that “we must move boldly and swiftly” if, having attained the presidency, he does not intend to move at all “in the next several months”? Could it be that Biden thought he had a plan but later realized that whatever he was suggesting had already been implemented but had not succeeded in curbing COVID-19? Or did he know at the time that his plan was just a pipe dream designed to persuade a frightened, COVID-stricken electorate to vote for him?

Whatever the case, Biden needs to inject some hope into the nation and not claim so swiftly that “there’s nothing we can do.”

In Beit Shemesh Viznitz Insist on Spreading Death & Disease

 

It's not enough that the Monsey Viznitzer Rebbe disregards NY government rules thereby spreading death to his own chassidim...

I spoke to a friend that is from Monsey Chevra Kadisha and he told me that they cannot keep up with the bodies of both Viznitz and New Square chassidim .....

So now the Heiliger Viznitzer Rebbe from Monsey decided to bring down Beit Shemesh as well ... he has a branch in Beit Shemesh "Bet" where the crazed extremists live ...

and yesterday his eminence decided to have a huge wedding without masks or social distancing in Shul ....

Watch and see that not one person is wearing a mask ...

Well the police came in full force with "skunk sprayers" and the rest is history! 

Needless to say, that they would not have a wedding during Sfirat Haomer because of a plague, yet today they have a wedding causing a plague.

They are the direct cause of hatred between chilonim and Chareidim and the cause of anti-semitism throughout the world as they ignore Covid regs in the US, UK, Canada, Belgium etc ..

I am sick and tired of the argument that the Chilonim go to the beach and go to protests ...true... but they are not the ones spreading the virus.. all stats show that the frummies are spreading it ...

and even if it were true... so now you want to be like the chilonim? Aren't we supposed to be better than them ... isn't Torah supposed to cleanse us from causing huge Chillul Hashem ...?

Yes I know... It's all Trump's fault!

Chareidim Acting Like BLM Hoodlooms Setting Bnei-Brak on Fire ... Roshei Yeshiva & Chassidishe Rebbes Quiet!

 

Violence in Bnei Brak reached a new level late Sunday night, as violent Hafganos took place around the city, and a group that locals have decided to label “CHARIEID ANTIFA” are causing destruction around the city.

At one location, protesters stopped a bus on Kahneman Street, attacked the driver, forced him off, and literally set the bus on fire.

People began calling the fire department, but they refused to respond until they received a police escort – due to the fact that they are repeatedly attacked by Chareidi extremists when responding to Chareidi neighborhoods. They eventually responded – after more than 30 minutes – and extinguished the blaze.

Local residents reported that there are hundreds of boys roaming the streets since all Yeshivas are closed, and are literally terrorizing the entire city – which is prompting a forceful response from police.

The bus fire was just one items of violence by this marauding gang of “Chareidi ANTIFA”.

Earlier on Sunday, the Mayor of Bnei Brak, R’ Avrohom Rubenstein the former Mayor of Bnei Brak, R’ Chanoch Zeibart, and MK R’ Yitzchok Pindrus came under attack from an angry mob while walking in Bnei Brak.
