Can you imagine an American president that did not speak English well?
Did you know that VLADIMIR #Zelensky only learned Ukrainian until he was almost 40 years old?
Even today, Zelensky still can’t...
2/ Zelensky still can’t speak Ukrainian quickly
Zelensky does not know many specific words in Ukrainian
Zelensky usually switches to Russian, even when Ukrainian is easy to learn for a Russian speaker (both languages arise from the Old East Slavic language)
And this is not...
3/ This is not unusual
Almost ALL Ukrainian politicians speak Russian privately, even former presidents like Yanukovich
They switch to Ukrainian only to please ultranationalists.
Many popular Ukrainians like @MilaKunisv, never spoke Ukrainian language in her life.
How is that...
4/ How is that possible?
Because for over 1000 years, the #UkrainianLanguage was just an old regional Slavic dialect, ONLY SPOKEN IN GALICIA (today's northwestern Ukraine/southern Poland)
Just like most of Irish people don’t speak Irish Gaelic.
(map suggested by @wolfvillage84)
That's why:
- Ukrainian does not have Ukrainian words for many things (scientific terms, etc)
- Ukrainian literature is very scarce, most "Ukrainian" writers (like Mikhail Bulgakov) wrote their works in Russian
6/ So, What's the language that EVERY Ukrainian knows?...
RUSSIAN!
The birth name of Zelensky is VLADIMIR (not Volodymyr). But The Ukraine began renaming everyone in about 2013.
All Nicolay-s -> became Mykola -s.
All Vladimir-s -> became Volodimir-s.
etc
Then...
7/ Then, after the 2014 Maidan, western Ukrainians (Galicia) began to impose their culture on the rest of the territory.
Russian language -the language that everyone in Ukraine speaks- was basically banned.
Yes, like banning German language in Switzerland.
The harassment of...
8/ The harassment of Russian speakers became an official policy of the new fascist government
Remember the people tied to poles?....
They are not looters, they just didn't speak certain words "correctly", like the word “Palianytsia” (a type of Ukrainian domed bread)
9/ That's part of why the rebellion began, the native Russians of East Ukraine raised.
Here is a quick thread about that.
👇
10/ Remember, BEFORE 1991, The Ukraine has NEVER been an independent nation, but a divided region, part of Austria-Hungary, Poland, Russia, Germany, etc
The current "BIG" Ukraine was an administrative creation of the CCCP.
Try to search for "Ukraine" as a nation in any old map:
11/ But still, Ultranationalists blame Russia for the lack of Ukrainian literature.
How can they say that when one of the most important pieces of literature about the history of Ukraine (Taras Bulba) is about a war of Ukrainians against... POLAND!
12/ How can they blame Russia for the lack of Ukrainian literature when at the same time they promise that the Ukrainian Language is older than Russian?
Why they don't blame Poland, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Lithuania, etc?
13/ Today -to move farther away from Russia-; western Ukrainians want to latinize the beautiful Ukrainian alphabet!
The Cyrillic script was first introduced as a modified Greek alphabet around a millennium ago.
Who is the one destroying a culture?
14/ Who is the one destroying a culture?
Who is the one destroying a nation?
Thanks to Russia, by 1990, The Ukraine was one of the most ADVANCED countries in the world.
Then, the west and the Ultranationalists came by...
@hpnot1q @martian_lore @cirnosad Do✡️s worship Satan?
You decide.
This is what they believe:
Satan is bribed with a gift, which he accepts, thereby becoming a defender of Yakov (Israel).
(cf. Rabbenu Behaya 25:28)
The Zohar makes clear that Israel must always give a portion of "the profits" to the "other side".
@hpnot1q @martian_lore @cirnosad 2/
That gift was actually "the sins of Israel", loaded up on a goat.
So the gift was the sacrifice of a living animal adorned with sin (very attractive to Satan).
What stops them from using a CHILD instead of a goat?
Nothing.
They see it as an act of obedience and Kidush HaShem.
@hpnot1q @martian_lore @cirnosad 3/
Bribing Satan?
Yes, the DO believe that "The Other Side" (the forces of impurity, the egoistic needs, the Sitra Akhra) also need to be fed.
"Giving a “portion” to the Other Side is necessary in order to keep it from harming us."
(cf. Rabbi Moshe Bogomilsky).
1/ Most people outside of America have no idea of the ABERRATIONS that #Dispensationalists pastors preach, let’s make a 🧵:
John Hagee
“Israel is not just a state. Israel is the apple in God's eye. Israel is the shining city on the hill. Israel is the first born child of God.”
2/ #Dispensationalists pastors thread 🧵:
Gary Hamrick:
“4000 years ago, God gave the Jews PROPERTY TITLE to this land (white area). But the (dumb) Nations have only recognized a portion (the blue part)” 🤡
Gary Hamrick:
"The Jews are the only people, who have received a title to a region "directly from God". And if other nations try to take that land, God will RISE UP in anger 🤡 against those nations."
1/ Book burning 🧵
Jews are instructed to burn, publicly if possible, any copy of the New Testament that comes into their hands.
In 1980, a ceremonial burning of the New Testament occurred In Jerusalem under the auspices of Yad Le'akhin, and the Israeli 🇮🇱 Ministry of Religions.
2/ 2014
Jews incinerated the book of prayers at Jerusalem’s Dormition Abbey, shortly after Pope Francis visited the site.
The abbey is next to the Cenacle – the site of Pope Francis’ visit, said to be where the Last Supper took place.
3/ 2008
Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in Jerusalem
The same year, the teenage son of a prominent Christian missionary was seriously wounded when a package bomb delivered to the family's West Bank home went off in his hands.
1/ Is the Jewish messiah the antichrist?
In Judaism, the messiah (Moloch Mashiach / מלך משיח) is not a savior of the world, but a KING of Israel who will lead Judea to world domination.
This is what the Midrash notes:
"When the banner of the annointed king shall be lifted-up..."
2/ Midrash:
"When the banner of the annointed king shall be lifted-up, all the masts of ships belonging to the nations of the world shall be broken... all the languages belonging to the nations shall be made useless, and their customs shall be rendered null and void"
3/ And remember, this has nothing to do with Jesus, the Jews hate Jesus.
According to Maimonides (one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars), Jesus was:
"The most influential, and consequently, the most DAMAGING of all FALSE messiahs."
1/ For centuries, Jews🇮🇱 have been accused of child sacrifice (Blood Libel)
They say it is false, that it is not part of their history, that it is an anti-Semitic accusation, etc.
But then, thousands of Jews stage a CHILD SACRIFICE (Chicago 1933)
Why?
Why?
2/ Seriously WHY would they be celebrating this?
In the Hebrew Bible, there is mention of an "entity", Moloch, to whom sacrifices of children were made.
But curiously, the Hebrew word for Moloch is Mlek (מלך), and that means KING.
3/ Thats why many scholars speculate that Moloch was Solomon or even YHWH himself. ("Melekh Yahweh")
In the Hebrew Bible, Tophet (תֹּפֶת) is a location in Jerusalem, where worshipers engaged in a ritual involving "passing a child through the fire"
