FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS NEW TRUMP TRAVEL BAN

 The first ban was blocked by a ruling that didn’t even mention the relevant statute
 giving the President the authority to restrict immigration. It isn’t 
clear yet whether or not this block discusses that law. Activist judges 
with no regard for the safety of the American people are legislating 
from the bench with complete indifference to existing laws. If that 
isn’t reined in, the consequences will be catastrophic, beginning with 
the jihadis who will take advantage of this judge’s politically correct 
virtue signaling in order to slip into the U.S. in the near future. 
 
“Federal judge blocks new Trump travel ban,” by Laura Jarrett, CNN, March 15, 2017:
(CNN)A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked President Donald Trump’s new travel ban on Wednesday afternoon, hours before the ban was set to go into effect.
This ruling means that travelers from six Muslim-majority countries and refugees will be able to travel to the US.
The Trump administration took over a month to rewrite the travel ban order after multiple federal courts blocked its implementation last month….
Despite this changes, US District Court Judge Derrick Watson concluded that the new executive order still failed to pass legal muster.

 Coincidence? Obama Makes Surprise Visit to Hawaii 
48 Hours Before Judge Blocks Trump Travel Ban
 Former president was at a restaurant within minutes of judge's residence during Honolulu trip

A ruling by a federal judge in Hawaii that blocked President Donald Trump’s travel ban was announced less than 48 hours after Barack Obama made a surprise visit to Honolulu, leading some to speculate that the former president may have schemed with the judge he originally appointed.
Hours before Trump’s travel ban on individuals from six Muslim countries was set to go into effect yesterday, US District Court Judge Derrick Watson, who presides in Honolulu, slapped down the policy, citing Trump’s comments on Muslims during the presidential campaign as part of his reason for blocking the ban.
Watson was nominated by Obama to the position in November 2012, having graduated from Harvard law school in the same year as Obama.

As the Honolulu Star reported, Obama “made an unannounced return to Hawaii Monday,” just three months after his last official holiday visit as president, arriving with a small entourage that included a Secret Service detail.
Eagle-eyed Reddit users noted that Obama had dinner at the Noi Thai restaurant, which is just minutes away from the courthouse and that Obama was, “likely within 5 minutes of the judge’s house at one point on the drive over.”
PopSugar reports that Obama played golf but was “still making time to take care of business” as he met with tech leaders and that “his return to politics might be sooner than we think.”

Given that Obama appointed the judge, graduated in the same year as him and visited Honolulu and was within minutes of the judge less than 48 hours before Judge Watson made a major ruling that blocked Trump’s travel ban, it doesn’t take a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist to insinuate that the two could have met.
The speculation follows reports that Obama has created a nerve center just two miles from the White House which is serving as a war room for his bid to lead an “insurgency” against Trump in a bid to sabotage his presidency.
A source close to Obama told the Daily Mail that Obama’s ultimate goal was to force Trump to step down, either through resignation or impeachment, and that the former president is “dismayed at the way Trump is tearing down his legacy—ObamaCare, the social safety net and the welcome mat for refugees he put in place.”
Last month, Eric Holder also vowed that Obama was close to returning to politics, stating, “It’s coming. He’s coming….and he’s ready to roll.”

 Trump: Judge Blocking New Immigration Order Is ‘Unprecedented Judicial Overreach’

Donald Trump responded to the federal judge in Hawaii who froze his latest executive order restricting immigration just hours before it was supposed to go into effect

Donald Trump responded to the federal judge in Hawaii who froze his latest executive order restricting immigration just hours before it was supposed to go into effect.
Speaking from a rally in Nashville Wednesday night, the president said it was “unprecedented judicial overreach.”

“Let me give you the bad news,” Trump said. “We don’t like bad news, right? Let me give you the bad, the sad news. Moments ago, I learned that a district judge in Hawaii, part of the much overturned ninth circuit court, and I have to be nice or otherwise I’ll be criticized for speaking poorly about our courts…a judge has blocked our executive order. The order he blocked was a watered down version of the first order. That was also blocked by another judge and should have never been blocked to start with.”
“This new order was tailored to the ninth circuit’s dictates. The law and Constitution give the president the power to suspend immigration when he or she deems — fortunately, it will not be Hillary she…”

“We are talking about the safety of our nation,” he continued. “The safety and security of our people. You don’t think this was done by a judge for a political reason? This ruling makes us look weak, which by the way we no longer are. Just look at our orders…”
“We are going to take our case as far as it needs to go, even to the Supreme Court. We are going to win. I will not stop fighting for the safety of you and your families. Not today, not ever. We’re going to win it. We are going to win it. We are going to apply common sense. We are never quitting and we are never going away.”
U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson froze the order on Wednesday after the state filed a lawsuit against the president’s revised order last week.
The order, which temporarily bars the citizens of Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the United States for 90 days, was supposed to go into effect at midnight Wednesday.

INVESTIGATE SOROS, SENATORS ASK TILLERSON

INVESTIGATE SOROS, SENATORS ASK TILLERSON
 US taxpayers funding Soros revolutions, 
foreign leaders tell Senate
BY JAMIE WHITE

GOP senators are asking Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to investigate claims that the Obama administration used taxpayer money to fund leftist billionaire George Soros’ political groups and activities abroad.
A letter sent Tuesday asked the State Department to determine whether agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) diverted taxpayer money to leftist movements directed by Soros.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), one of the co-signers, said that foreign officials and political leaders have revealed to him “reports of U.S. activity in their respective countries.”

“This includes reports of diplomats playing political favorites, USAID funds supporting extreme and sometimes violent political activists, and the US Government working to marginalize the moderates and conservatives in leadership roles…This sort of political favoritism from our missions around the world is unacceptable,” Lee said in a statement.
Lee is referring specifically to the USAID funding of Soros’ Open Society Foundation in Macedonia, where the group’s stated goal is “to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens,” but critics contend that it’s a front for Soros’ destabilization programs and color revolutions.
The USAID website shows that between 2012 and 2016, USAID gave nearly $5 million in taxpayer money to the Soros group for “The Civil Society” project, which “aims to empower Macedonian citizens to hold government accountable.”
The letter goes on to say that senior lawmakers have heard similar reports of political meddling coming out of Albania, Latin America and parts of Africa.
“Respected leaders from Albania have made similar claims of U.S. diplomats and Soros-backed organizations pushing for certain political outcomes in their country,” states the letter.
“We respectfully ask that you use your authority to investigate all funds associated with promoting democracy and governance and review the programs, accounts, and multiplicity of U.S. entities involved in such activities.”
Hungarian PM Viktor Orban warned in January of Soros’ “trans-border empire,” saying Soros was attempting to manipulate political fights in his country.
“I think it is no secret and everyone knows about the very close relationship between the Democrats and George Soros and his foundations,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told Fox News.
 

FORMER JIHADIST TURNED CHRISTIAN EVANGELIST WARNS OF EDUCATIONAL JIHAD AGAINST WEST

FORMER JIHADIST TURNED CHRISTIAN EVANGELIST WARNS OF EDUCATIONAL JIHAD AGAINST WEST
BY CHRISTINE WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
A former radical Islamist turned Christian evangelist is warning the West of another form of jihad being waged in the education front.
Isik Abla “mentioned four other types of jihad—educational, population, media, and economical jihad” and revealed that “she was recruited to wage educational jihad by her first Muslim husband.”
Abla’s warnings emerge from her firsthand experience, and such warnings have come from others as well. There exists a mental block in the minds of Westerners who have been culturally conditioned to accept diversity without question, compounded by politicians seeking the Muslim vote. The advancement of “population jihad” will serve the interests of politicians who seek their own self-aggrandizement over the well-being of citizens. Little wonder that the doors to immigration are being indiscriminately flung open by leftist politicians as they cling desperately to power.
It has become far too widely accepted that to question Islam means that one is racist and/or “Islamophobic.” This notion needs to be flatly rejected. Islamic law mandates that Islam must not to be questioned. Accepting that the freedom of speech should be curtailed in any way to suit Muslim sensibilities opens the West to a slow, but deliberate subjugation to Sharia.

“Ex-Radical Islamist turned Christian evangelist warns of educational Jihad that seeks to Islamise West”, by Hazel Torres, Christianity Today, March 13, 2017:
A former radical Islamist turned Christian evangelist is warning the West of another form of jihad being waged in the education front.
Isik Abla told The Christian Post last week that wealthy fanatical Muslims are sending jihadist students to America and other Western countries to infiltrate the world’s top universities as part of their group’s ultimate objective to Islamise the West.
She explained that there are different types of jihad. Aside from the physical jihad, which is the use of force to kill and conquer “infidels,” Abla mentioned four other types of jihad—educational, population, media, and economical jihad.
“We are seeing these … types of jihad integrated in the Western world today,” she said at the Proclaim 17, NRB International Christian Media Convention in Orlando, Florida.
Abla said she herself was recruited to wage educational jihad by her first Muslim husband.
“Educational jihad pays the tuition of the students to send them to high prestigious colleges and universities” in the West like Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, the Turkish native explained.
She said the goal is to put jihadists “in high places [of] power to dictate what needs to happen in the Western world [and] to Islamise the Western world.”
Abla said she woke up to the realisation that she was just being used by the Islamist extremists to further their own agenda when she fled Turkey to America to escape from two extremely violent marriages.
She said it was when she began working under a Christian employer in America that she found Jesus.
“On the day that I was going to kill myself, commit suicide, Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me in a miraculous way and changed my life completely,” said Abla, who is now an ordained minister.
Writing in her ministries’ Facebook page, Abla said, “I had no identity and no self worth until I met Jesus!”
“Jesus showed me who I was created to be and how precious I was to Him. That revelation changed my life!” she wrote. “As a Muslim woman I was inferior to men.

NO FREE SPEECH FOR YOU; AT LEAST IN MARYLAND

 Free Speech
NO FREE SPEECH FOR YOU; AT LEAST IN MARYLAND
BY JEFF KNOX
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
Buckeye, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- The state of Maryland has prosecuted, convicted, fined, and sanctioned a pair of political activists for allegedly producing and delivering an automated phone message thanking a candidate for taking a particular position on a controversial issue.
Everything said in the message was true and accurate, but the organization credited with sponsoring the message was ruled to be invalid, so the disclaimer at the end of the message declaring the group responsible for the message, was ruled to be inadequate to meet Maryland's campaign laws.
The men, Dennis Fusaro and Stephen Waters, are professional political consultants who were linked to the robo-calls via a trail of sketchy, circumstantial evidence. They were sentenced to a year in prison with all but 30 days suspended, a $1000 fine and 3 years of unsupervised probation, each, but they are appealing the convictions based on rights to free speech under the First Amendment and a corollary recognized by Maryland’s constitution.
The cost and inconvenience of the appeal will far exceed the sentence, but Fusaro and Waters say that their prosecution and convictions raise serious constitutional questions and should not be allowed to stand.

The right to free speech is sacrosanct to Americans, except, it seems, political speech of a flavor disagreeable to the bureaucrats in charge.

Back in the early days of the Republic our founding fathers valued political speech above all else – even above religious speech – and they routinely exercised that right anonymously. But today in America, campaign contributions, political advertisements, and producing electioneering materials are tightly regulated, and unlike voting, they require identification. Of course anonymous political speech hasn't gone away completely. We still have some semblance of anonymity on the internet, even though true anonymity online is very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. The rich and powerful can still hide behind front-groups and layers of PACs and bundlers to conceal their involvement, but for Joe Average American, anonymous political speech is difficult and can be a criminal offense.
The gatekeepers of free speech in Maryland disapproved of the message they attributed to Fusaro and Waters during a County Council race in 2014. The message did not advocate for or against any candidate, but did mention a candidate by name, highlighting his support of a controversial, transsexual rights bill. And while the message did include a statement of responsibility, the bureaucrats were unable to locate the group credited with authorizing it. The contention is that Fusaro and Waters created a “fictitious” group, wrote a script, kicked in a couple of hundred dollars, and paid for the calls to be recorded and delivered to county residents. Even if this contention is true – which Waters and Fusaro have never admitted – an informal association requires no paperwork or registration for it to be a legal entity. Anyone can form an ad hoc association based solely on the agreement of its members without any sort of government sanction. So if Fusaro and Waters created an association, to deliver a message, the statement of authorization in the ad crediting the association for the robo-calls and disavowing authorization by any other candidate, committee, or party, should be sufficient to meet the legal requirements.
If Mike Bloomberg wants to impact a local political race, as he frequently does, he doesn't buy a billboard or send out postcards with the message “I'm Mike Bloomberg and I paid for this political hit-piece.” Instead, one of his minions finds a few local people – or just moves to town and declares herself a local – and creates a front-group with a misleading name like “Nevadans for Gun Safety.
Then Bloomberg gives money to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America or Everytown for Gun Safety – or one of their various subsidiary or related organizations – which then passes the money on to the astroturf “local group” to buy ads saying what Bloomberg wants said.
That is considered perfectly acceptable by the political speech police in Maryland and elsewhere.
What Fusaro and Waters were accused of was no different.

The judge in the case, concluded that the robo-calls were the duo's handiwork, and noted that they took pains to meet the requirements of Maryland election law, but he contended that attempting to operate within the laws was proof of intent to circumvent them.

The penalty he meted out to the two activists was even harsher than the prosecution had requested, because he said a message needed to be sent to future scofflaws who might want to express a political belief without clearly identifying themselves.
Legal observers say the case is unusual in several respects, and that it appears that Maryland is intentionally using the case to establish some legal precedents to make it easier to control political speech in the future. The large volume of existing case-law regarding free speech can be confusing and contradictory. Adding another layer to limit rights would not be a good thing.
Fusaro and Waters’ case has attracted some attention and assistance from a few civil rights groups, but none of the heavy hitters like the ACLU have waded into the case, probably due to the fact that Waters and Fusaro tend to advocate for “conservative” and libertarian positions that are not looked upon favorably by “liberal,” legal assistance groups.
The message itself, and who delivered it, should have no bearing on the legal case. There is no argument that the message was true and accurate. The only real bone of contention is attribution of the call to an informal organization that couldn't be easily tracked down and its members identified.

CHINA PLANS MASSIVE EXPANSION OF MARINES TO EXERT GLOBAL POWER

 China Plans Massive Expansion of Marines to Exert Global Power
CHINA PLANS MASSIVE EXPANSION OF MARINES 
TO EXERT GLOBAL POWER 
 Chi-coms to create overseas expeditionary force
BY CLIFFORD CUNNINGHAM

The Communist Chinese government is planning a massive expansion of the country’s Marine Corps to better project its power globally, according to military insiders.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has regularly expressed his desire to better project military power overseas, and experts suggest such a goal necessitates a move away from China’s traditional military reliance on ground forces.
The plan under consideration would increase the number of personnel in the People’s Liberation Army Navy Marine Corps from approximately 20,000 to 100,000; the increase in personnel would be accompanied by a reduction to the People’s Liberation Army’s ground forces.

“The PLA marines will be increased to 100,000, consisting of six brigades in the coming future to fulfill new missions of our country,” an unnamed military source told the South China Morning Post.
“The expanded corps is part of a wider push to refocus the world’s largest army away from winning a land war based on sheer numbers and towards meeting a range of security scenarios using highly specialised units. Towards that end, Chinese President Xi Jinping is reducing the size of the People’s Liberation Army by 300,000, with nearly all of the cuts coming from the land forces.”
Chinese Marine units traditionally operated along the country’s coastline, given their lack of personnel and aging heavy military equipment. Most units are still equipped with the Type 59 main battle tank, first introduced into service in 1959, as well as amphibious tanks and armored personnel carriers introduced in the 1960s.
President Jinping likely intends to turn the Chinese Marine Corps into an overseas expeditionary force, similar to the United States Marines Corps and the United Kingdom’s Royal Marines, to enforce his country’s “One Belt, One Road” policy.
An expanded Marine Corps would allow China to station forces at key ports with a sizable Chinese presence, most notably in Djibouti, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The naval base in Djibouti is significant given its key strategic location on the Horn of Africa and close proximity to Camp Lemonnier, an American military base at the country’s international airport.
“Besides its original missions of a possible war with Taiwan, maritime defense in the East and South China seas, it’s also foreseeable that the PLA Navy’s mission will expand overseas, including protection of China’s national security in the Korean peninsula, the country’s maritime lifelines, as well as offshore supply deports like in Djibouti and Gwadar port in Pakistan,” said Li Xiaojiang, a former navy political commissar.

WILL TRUMP LET PAUL RYAN MAKE HIM 
A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT?

 By Chuck Baldwin
           
From the beginning, there have been several things that have bothered me about 
Donald Trump. Perhaps my biggest concerns have always been how genuine Trump 
is and, if he is genuine, how much he truly understands about “the swamp” he 
promised to drain.
President Trump has appointed numerous big-government, pro-war neocons to his administration. In just two months, Trump has appointed more individual members from the CFR--and people from corporations belonging to the CFR--to his administration than Barack Obama did during his entire eight years in the White House. That is very troubling. The CFR is perhaps the preeminent globalist organization on the planet. How can Trump talk about putting America first when he litters his administration with people who are sympathetic to subjecting the United States to the globalist agenda?
While decrying the methods and motives of the CIA (Bravo!) on one hand, Trump turns around and gives this deepest of Deep State entities the authority to carry out assassinations around the world WITHOUT Pentagon or White House approval or oversight.
In other words, President Trump has given CIA Director Mike Pompeo the power to launch drone attacks against anybody he wants to--with NO accountability to anybody (all in the name of the “war on terror,” of course). This means Pompeo is probably the most dangerous and unaccountable human being on earth right now. Without a doubt, this is one of the most draconian decisions an American President could ever make. Imagine what the outcry would be if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton were to make such a decision. As it is, you are probably learning about it for the first time as you read it right now. (Notice we have to read about this from a foreign news agency because the U.S. media totally ignores these kinds of stories--as do conservative publications and websites.)
We know now that the clandestine attack that got one of our Special Forces troops killed in Yemen was conducted by the CIA. We also know that our forces killed at least a dozen or more innocent civilians and children in that raid. But no one wants to talk about that either.
The CIA was never intended to be a paramilitary organization. It was supposed to be an international intelligence gathering agency similar to the FBI except on a much broader scale. Obviously, the CIA has grown into an international killing machine. And Donald Trump has just given CIA Director Pompeo a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card. If Mike Pompeo were remotely honest, he would never have accepted such raw, unaccountable power. Can you imagine?
Furthermore, Donald Trump has sent U.S. Special Forces troops and Marines into Syria. The Syrian government has given NO consent for American troops to enter its country and considers the presence of our troops to be an invasion. Therefore, the very act of sending U.S. armed forces into Syria is illegal and unconstitutional. The LAST thing the American people elected Trump for was to start another Middle Eastern war.
Illegally placing U.S. fighting men on foreign soil where they are not invited or welcomed is NOT the action of a President who intends to “live in peace” with foreign countries, as he said was his intention when he was campaigning for office. Imagine what the American people would do should any foreign power inject its fighting men onto U.S. soil without America’s consent.
I wonder, too, just who our military forces will be targeting in Syria. After all, our government (via the CIA) has been surreptitiously assisting Al Qaeda and ISIS in both Iraq and Syria for years. You can bet your bottom dollar, our troops are NOT going to be assisting the Syrian army. So why in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks are our troops there?
The fact is, the Syrian army--with the help of Russia--has ISIS on the run. They are destroying ISIS as we speak. Even a few news sources in the western media are reporting the significant decline of ISIS. It is no hyperbole to say that Russia and Syria have ISIS on life support. If Donald Trump truly wants to defeat ISIS, all he needs to do is just stay out of the way and let Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad take care of it.
Then there is Obamacare Lite, also known as Obamacare 2.0 or Ryancare. This thing is a monstrosity! Everybody, and I mean everybody, knows that Paul Ryan’s proposed healthcare bill is nothing but a huge payoff to the insurance companies.
Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Congressman Dave Brat (R-Virginia) and Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) have come out strongly against Ryan’s pseudo-Obamacare replacement bill. So have countless others. Congressman Massie’s quote is the most honest and accurate. He says Ryancare is “a stinking pile of garbage.” Congressman Brat pulled away the curtain by boldly saying that Ryancare “is designed to save the insurance companies.”
Writing for NewsWithViews.com, Diane Kepus says this about Ryancare: “Working Americans Screwed Again.” She’s exactly right.
See Diane’s report: Working Americans Screwed Again
Writing for Breitbart.com, Katie McHugh wrote an excellent analysis of the certain disaster that would ensue should Ryancare become law. Her report is entitled “7 Reasons Why Obamacare 2.0 Is All But Guaranteed To Impose Crushing Costs On Voters, Hurt Trump’s Base, And Hand Power Back To The Democrats.”
Repealing Obamacare was one of the major tenets of Donald Trump’s campaign. Paul Ryan’s bill doesn’t repeal Obamacare; it just gives it a new name. So, why then is President Trump cajoling Congress to pass the stupid thing?
Recently on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program, Senator Rand Paul said that “every conservative that’s come out publicly opposed” to the Obamacare replacement “has been called by the White House [that’s Donald Trump] and is being cajoled and wooed by the White House to give in.”
Paul Ryan is the consummate neocon. He makes John Boehner look GOOD. Ryan was one of Donald Trump’s fiercest opponents within the Republican Party during the primaries. Now Trump is twisting arms in the GOP caucus in order to secure their votes in SUPPORT of Ryan’s bill--a bill that is nothing more than an Obamacare rework? Why? Why would Trump do this--if he was sincere about what he said on the campaign trail, I mean?
Respected conservative radio broadcaster Steve Deace recently wrote this:
Where, oh where, are Donald Trump’s manly parts?
No one has seen them. There are no solid leads. Every jar in the 202 and 212 area codes has been inspected, and they’re not there. There are rumors that Trump was really being wire-tapped in an attempt to find out where he lost them, but that cannot be confirmed or denied. We’re barely halfway through the first 100 days, and already Trump has backed down on the following:
He’s not going to arrest “crooked Hillary” and “locker her up” after all.
He’s not going to repeal Obama’s unconstitutional (see that as illegal) executive amnesty (DACA) after all.
After saying throughout the campaign it was weak and dumb to show your plans and give a heads up to your enemies, his new (and watered down) immigration executive order gives jihadists a 10-day warning before being implemented.
He’s siding with weak House GOP leadership in not repealing Obamacare as promised, and instead replacing it with something that could even be worse.
His RNC leadership team looks like a Who’s Who of the establishment, including the name Henry Barbour. The man who orchestrated one of the worst betrayals ever of the grassroots--the literal stealing of the 2014 Mississippi senate primary.
He still hasn’t lifted a finger to protect religious liberty. No repeal of the Johnson Amendment. No executive order. Not even a reference in his recent congressional speech to the Left’s attempt to destroy the lives of believers like Barronelle Stutzman.
All of this goes back to what I said at the beginning of this column: perhaps my biggest concerns have always been how genuine Trump is and, if he is genuine, how much he truly understands about “the swamp” he promised to drain.
Either way, if Donald Trump succumbs to Paul Ryan’s Obamacare 2.0 monstrosity, he will have allowed Ryan to make him a certain one-term President--which could be Ryan’s goal. And if Trump continues his current course on foreign policy, we will be lucky if we are not in World War III before he finishes his first term.
P.S. I am now helping to distribute a book that I regard as MUST READING. If you don’t read another book besides the Bible this year, you need to read “Judaism’s Strange Gods” by Christian scholar Michael Hoffman.
Hoffman documents his provocative thesis that Judaism is not the religion of the Old Testament, but the newly formalized belief system of the Pharisees, which arose in Babylon with the commitment of the formerly oral "tradition of the elders" to writing, in the wake of the crucifixion of Israel's Messiah and the destruction of the Temple.
Basing his findings on authoritative Judaic sources, Hoffman demonstrates that Judaism is a man-made religion of tradition and superstition, which represents the institutionalized nullification of Biblical law and doctrine.
 Liberating the reader from the accumulated shackles of decades of misinformation, this book shows that Judaism's god is not the God of Israel, but the strange gods of Talmud and Kabbalah.

Christian bookstores are packed with tomes purporting to unmask the religion of Islam, but not one slim volume will be found delving into the depravities of Orthodox Judaism. "Judaism's Strange Gods" corrects that imbalance with its fidelity to Biblical truth and the historic witness of the Church.
I say again, if you don’t read another book this year besides the Bible, read “Judaism’s Strange Gods” by Michael Hoffman. I am proud to distribute this book. I urge you to read it here: Judaism’s Strange Gods
