Rejection By Family Is Never Easy...

I assume that a relative either added me on Facebook by mistake, or she added me then reneged her friend request. As I said, rejection by family is never easy. But as I've blogged about before, I've been rejected by family, from my immediate family (e.g., Dad and Pop-Pop) to much of the rest of 'Am Yisra'el-- for:

¹⁰ Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. ¹¹ And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. ¹² But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake. ¹³ But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. ¹⁴ Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; ¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. ¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.¹⁷ And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. ¹⁸ But not a hair of your head shall be lost. ¹⁹ By your patience possess your souls.


²² And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.²³ When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

As the proverb goes, "Lo kol asher Yisra'el, Yisra'el" -- "Not all who are Israel are Israel." Some don't even want to be Israel:

¹⁶ For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?¹⁷ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

¹² From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

¹³ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

¹⁵ But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”

Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”

The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

¹⁶ Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.^[c]

From this passage, by the way, we see that Pilate did not really believe that Yeshua (Jesus) was innocent and intended to make a mockery of the hyped-up, confused, and otherwise-emotional Jews (many of whom would later be confirmed a part of the remnant, as was Paul ). 

Necesito Refrescar Mi Espanol...

I need to brush up on my Spanish. Being a Jewish Marylander descended from a Spaniard (perhaps a Sefardic Jew, which we'll never know for sure until we find out who "John McCoy" really was besides the Spain-born man who he tried to hide), I need to get back into learning Spanish. Yo estoy en acuerdo con Geraldo Rivera que necesitamos una nacion bilingue en Ingles y Espanol. Despues de todos, los indios estuvieron aqui primero y hablaron espanol desde los 1500s. By the way, I'm using Google Translate to help me refresh what Spanish I cannot remember and learn what Spanish I don't know-- though I could quit being perezosa and use mi diccionario de espanol y ingles.

Hispanic Romney Criticizes Justice Sonia Sotomayor, And...

This Jew (I), meanwhile, herself plenty of Jews to criticize. By the way, as a Hispanic, no me gusta Juez Sonia Sotomayor. Porque? Es muy liberal y una 'mujer Latina y sabia' autoproclamada-- I don't like arrogant people. As for some Jews who I highly criticize:

1. Natalie Portman-- has no respect for Jewish values (which I've blogged about)
2. Sean Stone
3. Sean Penn (though I was close to respecting him after one time in which he seemed to have changed)
4. Alex Jones
5. Mark Levin
6. Adam Gadahn
7. David Cameron
8. George Soros
9. Abraham Foxman
10. Shmuely Boteach
11. Benjamin Netanyahu
12. Avigdor Lieberman
13. Tracey Rich
14. Barbra Streisand

I could go on, but you get the point. 

A Jew Can Celebrate The Non-Catholic Part of Mardi Gras...

Nonetheless, I may have overdone the celebracion de Martes Gordos. My sister had a point: I am now on a sugar crash. To be fair, I didn't take any of the treif esn. However, three glasses of chocolate milk, plus a frozen-yogurt milkshake, plus King's Cake still counts as getting more on a sugar crash; and a sugar crash in of itself may be treif-- I am tired, after all. Meanwhile, the beads are from UMBC's dining hall, and I didn't have to do anything skeavy or lo kashrut to earn them.   

This Spaniard Hopefully Knows Something About the "McCoy" Family...

I check my Feedjit Live Feed, and let me tell you that I hope that this Madridian knows something about Rosalita "Rosa" ("Rose") Ann "McCoy" Reilly. If you don't think that I'm still looking por familia, you are loco. If you don't understand espanol (which I need to brush up on, anyway; since it is a literal mama lashon), let me put it in Yiddish: you don't think that I'm still looking for mishpacha you are meshuga. Meanwhile, I figure that by now, the DeBoys have to be Jewish. There was at least one Jew who married a DeBoy, and our DeBoy mishpacha probably received a number of Yehudim v'Yehudi'ot as well. Por ejemplo (See how I'm mixing up the Spanish and Yiddish, by the way? Me gusta variedad.):

That's not German hair, as far as I can tell. That's curly, Jewish hair. Also (by the way, sadly we have a Braun in our line; and she'd better not be related to Eva Braun; but anyway), I invite you to look at the family tree and see the variety of possibly-Jewish or Jewish-adopted surnames there: por ejemplo, Erbacher, Pelz, Lambrix (Lambrecht, Lambrich), Pirong, Walker (Valker), Volk (Folk), Meijers (Meiyers), and other names.

I mean, folks (people), I look at my Feedjit and Blogger stats, at my family tree, etc.. C'mon; mi madre es judia problamente, y si no en la familia de "McCoy", entonces en por lo menos una de las familias de los DeBoys. Pueblos, no soy estupida. No fui loca de los Fockos, etc.; fui? 

So Here's What The Rusnak Family Tree Looks Like Revised (Thanks Kevin!)

Gyorgy's brother is the dad of Shimon and granddad of Moshe and Yoshua. Gyorgy is the dad of Gyorgy, the meshumad (Anusi) and the dad of Ya'akov (Jakub, Jacob) and Gyorgy. By the way, this is what family secrets do: confuse everyone and throw everyone off balance. 

I'm Basically Getting "Peh"ed and "Meh"ed With This Discouragment In Family Research....

I mean, nothing-- nothing-- on direct relatives and other relatives who I'm specifically looking for information on... and I have hints on other relatives and relatives of relatives (and relatives of relatives of relatives...) who I'll worry about later. I couldn't even get DNA tests-- and they were going to be gifts for the benefit of the whole family.

I'm not trying to get caught up in genealogy; I just want to establish what I can: e.g., find out if I'm a kohenet or Levit (and Kevin luckily didn't need DNA to find out that he's a Levi, by the way; but what we don't know if he's also a Levi on the Fosko and Hanzok sides-- meaning guess who also would be m'bnei Levi)? Also, who is the real "John McCoy" (the Spaniard that he was, not the Irishized "McCoy" that he became when he fled Spain and married MaryAnn Elizabeth McCoy); and was he a Sephardic Jew?

(Hey; none of his daughters were named "Mary" or "Maria"-- they were Rosalita "Rose" or "Rosa", Lavinia Teresa(?), Lucy, and Jane--, and his granddaughters were Anne, Alice Marie (Notice that Grandma was MaryAnn.), Loretta Rose, Sara Catherine, Helen Lavinia, and Agnes Genevieve "Sister Mary Rosalita" (which she took upon herself).).

Does any family member want to step forward, do the right thing, and help me figure out some of the (so to speak) roadblocks? 

I'm Sick of Many Native Americans and Other Fellow Minorities Telling Us That They're Oppressed....

For example, this one schmuck complained about "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the Native American flute. In case my comments get marked as spam or removed:

• breaks my heart to see an indian desecrating our ancestors using their instruments to play a song celebrating the people that murdered them. this is possibly the most disrespectful thing i have ever seen. this song was probably played as they were raped and murdered. this may have been the last song they heard. it may pain them even in the afterlife. i only pray that my ancestors don't have to suffer the agaony of hearing you spit on their memory. i bet your christian too.

• @yien Wow that is a lot of baggage you carry. Must keep you from going anywhere in life. Good luck with that. You don't have a clue about anything. Mellodramatic to say the least. You have a problem tolerating anyone else how do you expect anyone to respect you?

• @LoneGranger actually i am doing quite well in life. the memory of my ancestors is not baggage to weigh me down, i carry it with pride. but i'm sure life may be easier dumping it & assimilating. i always heard that the slaves in the house serving lemonade had an easier life then the ones picking cotton. but i would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. besides, nothing you said discounts what i said. they did unspeakable things to us, and you not only join them, but recruit for them.

• @yien How are your casinos and reservations? In all seriousness, get over it. I'm of a more oppressed people than you, by the way-- not to mention among a segment of my people who are oppressed by our own on a continual basis--, and you don't see me kvetching and utzing every Anti Semite and Antimissionary to death.

• @Nickidewbear By the way, many Natives have sought better than the casinos and the reservations, as my great-great-great grandparents sought better than the shtetlach.

Jews and IBS-- Hey; This Is a Jew With IBS Talking

"27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods * , and with the scab,and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed ." (D'varim 28:27, KJV)

KJV Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon

Strong's Number:   02914    Original Word Word Origin rxj from an unused root meaning to burn Transliterated Word TDNT Entry T@chor TWOT - 803a Phonetic Spelling Parts of Speech tekh-ore'     Noun Masculine  Definition tumours, haemorrhoids    King James Word Usage - Total: 8 emerods 8 "Jews of Eastern European descent (Ashkenazi Jews) have one of the highest colorectal cancer risks of any ethnic group in the world. Several gene mutations leading to an increased risk of colorectal cancer have been found in this group. The most common of these DNA changes, called the I1307K APC mutation, is present in about 6% of American Jews." Other proof that Ashkenazic Jews have even the highest risk and rate of colon cancer So what's the point? The point is that besides the scientific evidence, I have individual-case evidence to prove  D'varim 28:27-- I have personally experienced D'varim 28:27. I have IBS, my dad Chron's, and my granddad colon cancer (which caused 18 inches of his colon to be removed and is, as far as I know, in remission). Therefore, the ultimate point is that I can tell you both on a personal level and on an amateur-scholar level that if nothing else, even mainly-Darwinian science "with the emerods" proves Tanakh.

My Internet Connection Is Slower Than Me, Though Things Could Be Worse...

But I missed a class by accident today-- which I'll explain on YouTube (See my latest video.). As for my other class today (for a lack of a better term, and without saying "Antimissionary"), Non-Messianic professor who may be very liberal alert!-- although I'm not sure; but I think that a professor who openly wears a kippah, teaches at liberal UMBC (at which I am amazed that I have not been persecuted for watching FOX News on my dorm floor's community television, by the way), and has the following response to what was originally a Blackboard post is certainly Non Messianic and probably very liberal (whereas many or even most Jewish conservatives and moderates usually tread carefully on the outward symbolism, unless they're on the other extreme-- Far Right or even Meir Kahanist-- at least in America. Most Jewish conservative and moderates, for a lack of a better term, play it safe on showing outward religiosity. Think of many Modern Orthodox Jews who one can't tell are Orthodox just by looking at them-- for example, Michael Medved and Dennis Prager, and even Mark Levin).

By the way, most Messianic Jews (including myself) who I've seen usually don't go showing our Yiddishkeit the way that Non-Messianic Jews do when they do-- many or even (I daresay) most Messianic Jews are much like most secular Non-Messianic Jews and Reform Jews, gentile Christians, and others who show (for a lack of a better term) little to no outward religiosity. For comparison; take most secular Non-Messianic Jews and Reform Jews, and mainstream gentile Christians who might have only a bumpsticker on a car or keychain (whether the bumpsticker or keychain be a URJ or JCC sticker, or an Ichthys sticker or keychain), or a necklace (be the necklace a Magen David, cross, or Magen David-and-cross or an other Messianic Jewish-symbol necklace), or a copy of Tanakh (either with or without the Brit Hadashah) in a pocket, purse or other bag, or car.

As for the response on Blackboard:


"I appreciate your passion and the fact that you took time to comment. Please continue to do so throughout the semester.

But please also cut out the polemic language and try to keep your posts as concise as possible. I want the discussion boards to be a friendly place. It's possible to be passionate and opinionated, while also being polite and concise--and doing so will make this forum a lot more effective.

If you have any questions about these guidelines, please speak with me.

Again, I look forward to hearing what you have to say!"

What was apparently "polemic" and not "polite and concise"? I can more than guess. For example:

• ""Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again". (FDR via Epstein and Walker 1) In my personal opinion, no wonder FDR was an Anti Semite: that is, he treated the Constitution-- a living document-- and the Bible-- a fixed document-- as on the same par: that is, he thought that each was a document into which could read his own interpretation and thus implement said interpretation with the supposed support of said document. As FDR read Anti Semitism into the Bible, many have read their own interpretations into the Constitution."

That FDR was an Anti Semite is known fact. Even liberal Wikipedia cites that FDR did not support a Jewish State in "Palestine".

• "The late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall correctly stated that "the framers 'could not have imagined, nor would they have accepted, that the document they were drafting would one day be construed be a Supreme Court to which had been appointed a woman the descendant of an African slave.'" (ibid. 6) The Constitution was inherently "'defective from the start'" (ibid.) because of its status as a living, amendable document and scarily framed by WASP Supremacist, Unitarian, and Deist misogynists who treated the Bible in the same way that FDR later would-- and by treating the Bible as such, they framed the Constitution based on their inherently UnJewish and UnChristian concept of (for a lack of a better term) Judeo Christianity (or at least Judeo-Christian priniciples).As in the awful perversion of Biblical study known as modern Biblical scholarship, Constitutional scholarship has produced schools of original intent, textualism, and original meaning-- all three of which (in the case of Constitutional scholarship) harken back to what the framers (often chauvinistically, WASPishly, Unitarianistically, and Deistically wanted); and stare decisis, polling jurisdictionism, and pragmatism-- all three of which seek to interpret and implement the Constitution within the context of changing times and other factors."

Again, the professor wants me change historical fact. The framers indeed (as, of all people, Newt Gingrich once cited in a special based on one of his books for FOX News) were 95% Unitarian and Deist (if not 95% just Unitarian). Also, the 3/5-of-a-person clause and the lack of the 19th Amendment spoke for that  "the framers 'could not have imagined, nor would they have accepted, that the document they were drafting would one day be construed be a Supreme Court to which had been appointed a woman the descendant of an African slave.'" 

I can't change that "The Constitution was inherently "'defective from the start'" (ibid.) because of its status as a living, amendable document and scarily framed by WASP Supremacist, Unitarian, and Deist misogynists who treated the Bible in the same way that FDR later would-- and by treating the Bible as such, they framed the Constitution based on their inherently UnJewish and UnChristian concept of (for a lack of a better term) Judeo Christianity (or at least Judeo-Christian priniciples)." 

Yet, I get a professor who gives much a pass to FDR and the framers of the Constitution as Shmuely Boteach gave to Mohamedians (and in comparison to Christians) on Geraldo Rivera's radio show. He (like Shmuely Boteach) has no problem blatantly implying that he's of the school that says that Jews must be both outwardly religious and proudly Democratic as you can get-- apparently, G-d forbid that one can have a moderate or conservative, factual view of history and try to assimilate as much as possible so as not to bring trouble on him- or her-self or anyone else. I'm just saying, wearing a kippah that openly and being liberal to the point of being revisionist is inviting stereotypes from and wrong rubs toward both fellow Jews and gentiles. 

What I Want For My 22nd Birthday: DNA Tests From Male Relatives To Check For Kohein, Etc. Markers

I'm pushing the envelope & asking as male members as possible for DNA tests on my birthday. I want to know

at least whether I'm a kohenet (female descendant of Aharon ben-'Amram v'Yokheved, v'HaKohein). Any

male descendants, please get your DNA checked for Jewish-- especially kohein-- markers for our common

lineages if you can. 

On a side note, Kevin-- even though we don't share the Levshiks in common as far as we know--, you won't

be able to find the Levshik connection in the mtDNA; since Jewish women don't have Jewish DNA

(Remember that DNA of any ethnic sort gets passed down only in the Y-DNA). Thank G-d, we were able to

use that your Levit relative used the common device (the Levi surname variant) to establish that she was a bat-

Levi.

Not That I'm Self Exalting, But...

I'm just as "what you see is what you get" as Geraldo Rivera. I don't hide ish (pun highly intended. If you don't understand what "ish" is in Hebrew and is in English, Google it.). I criticize even my own family and the most central member in the family (next to G-d) to me-- me. I know me as well as I know me, and know me better than I know anyone else. But even G-d knows me better than I know me.

By the way, you have a problem if you're not the most central member of your family (next to G-d) to you. Who are you if you don't know who you are and why you are who you are? For example, I thought that I was a Dark Irish, German-French, Polish-Lithuanian-Czechoslovakian American before I knew that I'm an Anusit-- or was an Anusit. Now because I'm not a Crypto Jew and I even know that I'm a Jew in the first place, I can confidently be a Patrilineally-Jewish Messianic Jew with Ashkenazic Jewish- (hold your breath) Polish-Russian, Polish-Ukrainian-Russian, perhaps Lithuanian-Belorussian, Slovakian-Hungarian, Slovakian-Austrian-Hungarian, and Slovakian-Russian blood (I warned you to hold your breath. I just gave you a long list of the Ashkenazic Jewish blood that I have.).

As for the gentile blood (I think, though some could very well be Jewish blood); it's a long list, too. Want the list? E-mail me or comment on this blog. The list is as extensive and contains just as much information that you might need. By the way, where are relatives e-mailing me? Also by the way, ain't that fun that I'm probably related to Kirk Douglas (nee Issur Danielovich)? (I was being sarcastic about the "fun" part. Having Jack Czarnecki, Mary Gaydos, and Mia Danilowicz-- among others-- as relatives is enough.)

E. Michael Jones Has Ulterior Motives and No Authority To Speak on Modern Judaism or Catholicism

Besides, E. Michael Jones Wikipedia all the fodder that they needed. Firstly, E. Michael Jones is an Anti Semite ad has no authority to speak on Modern Judaism, covering his Anti Semitism with the following:


"Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.^[3] In February, 2008, due to a complaint of anti-Semitism from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the School of Architecture at The Catholic University of America cancelled a lecture series in which Jones was scheduled to speak. In an interview with The Washington Times Jones said that he rejected racism in all of its forms, consistent with Catholic teaching^[2] and responded to the cancellation in an article in Culture Wars.^[4]"

While Modern Non-Messianic Judaism is-- unintentionally and intentionally-- indeed wicked, E. Michael Jones

is not a Jew and thus his little to no authority to speak on the issue of Judaism. Whatever authority he did have,

he dashed along with his credibility by coming from a Non-Evangelical Catholic angle. As I have blogged,

Non-Evangelical Catholicism (Roman, Byzantine, and otherwise) is Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic

wickedness.  

Myself being born into an Anusi (Roman and Byzantine Catholic) and Roman Catholic family, baptized

Anusit and Roman Catholic (since  my dad was English Catholic-- Episcopalian-- and is still not open about

his Jewish heritage; and my mom had my sister and me baptized by a Roman Catholic priest who was a

friend of her late Evangelical Catholic, getting-ready-to-leave-Catholicism-when-he-died dad), and raised

Anusit and Episcopalian (and not knowing that I'm Jewish until I was 18); I have more authority to speak on

the issue of both than does E. Michael Jones. As far as I know, Ex-Professor Jones has never pointed to

'Amos 5:21-27 to prove how Modern Non-Messianic Jews both inadvertently and deliberately worship

Sikkut v'Kiyun.

In fact, given how little Catholic are encouraged to read the Bible, especially the first three books of Tanakh
(and the fourth, Hadashah, being so muddied up by Non-Evangelical Catholicism over the years to do

awful works against Yeshua and Paul's own people); E. Michael Jones probably couldn't tell you where

'Amos is located in Tanakh-- whether in the traditional Jewish (including Messianic Jewish) or the traditional

Christian order.

Also, if E. Michael Jones really knew Catholicism for what Catholicism is, he wouldn't have had the

following views on it:

"Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University and began to teach at Saint Mary's College, of Notre Dame, Indiana. To Jones' displeasure, he found this college to be what he considered to be (in the words of Michael W. Cuneo who interviewed him) "the antithesis of what a Catholic college should be", being pro-choice, feminist and secular. He made little effort to conceal his views, leading to conflicts with many faculty, his department chairwoman and eventually the college's president. His department, which viewed him as a religious absolutist, decided against renewing his contract after his first year.<sup>[1]"


Jones needs to wake up and smell Catholicism for what it is. He obviously didn't learn from St. Mary's or

Catholic University of America. Perhaps he'd like to go to then-College, now-University of Notre Dame

Maryland and look over the whole history of Catholicism and how Evangelical Catholicism (and Evangelical

Catholics such as Jan Hus, John Wycliffe, Teresa De Avila, Edith Stein, and Abraham Sh'mu'eloff) were all

treated (the first two victims of being murdered for "heresy", the third having her Jewishness and the fact that

her family was victim to the Catholic-started Inquisition almost even ignored by the Catholic Church, Edith

Stein being murdered by self-proclaimed "Christian" Catholic and Lutheran Nazis-- and the Catholic Church

doing nothing to save Edith Stein, one of their own--, and Sh'mu'eloff having his Jewishness ignored by the

Catholic Church when Sh'mu'eloff was a Roman, English, and Byzantine Catholic throughout his lifetime.

Only Evangelical-- including Jewish-- Catholic and other Evangelical, and other sources bring up that

Sh'mu'eloff was even proud of his Jewish heritage and rebuked that many Sabra'im and 'olim would not

speak Lashon Ivrit).</sup>
