Gov. Scott Walker beat back a recall challenge Tuesday; Democrats and organized labor spent millions to oust Walker, but found themselves hopelessly outspent by Republicans from across the country who donated record-setting sums to Walker.
America the Beautiful has been replaced by America the Bought, thrusting America into an ideological war pitting money against people; the Supreme Court by allowing unfettered donations under the guise of free speech has taken politics out of the hands of the people.
The people lost last night but revolution won – the people have a choice, be slaves to the corporations and financial institution or embrace revolution. America was built on revolution; America will decline if the people are not freed – money can’t buy you love or freedom.
At the end of the last Temple in Jerusalem, rich people would pay for the right to enter the Holy of Holies instead of letting the righteous do their job; this abuse of power and money led to the destruction of the Temple. America is no longer a bastion of freedom, what a pity.
The Cabala explains, Only the Torah makes a person free because Torah is synonymous with truth; there is no truth in politics – the science of the lie. Constant revolution is the only path to truth; when we give up our dreams we relinquish our lives – revolution is forever.

THE CABALA OF BOB
President Obama pinned the Presidential Medal of Freedom around Bob Dylan's neck as the singer stood in the White House inscrutable in black sunglasses.
I first met Bob in the Navy; the sailors I served with insisted in listening to what they called: shit-kicking music, a nasal twangy sound from the deep south and then all of a sudden a new sound hit the radio – I was stunned, the announcer introduced the new artist, Bob Dylan.
You can’t even understand anything that guy says, said the sailors; I don’t know what he’s saying, I agreed, but he’s saying it. I am a few years younger than Bob, he has been my big brother throughout my life – like God, Bob was always there, singing to my soul, when I needed him.
Forever stoic, Bob is an enigma to his fans, a man who guards his feelings while portraying in his words and melodies the soul of the world. Bob does not just sing about freedom, Bob is free – what more appropriate an honor to give this extraordinary figure than the Medal of Freedom.
I have travelled many a mile on the road singing Bob to the indelible truth; I married when he married and divorced when he divorced – I have been up and down and all around, but there’s one thing I would never want to do, is to say I’ve been hitting that hard traveling, too.

THE CABALA OF MAY DAY
On the front lines of the world's May Day protests this year, along with the traditional chants, banners and marches, a gamut of emotions flowed through the crowds: venting over spending cuts, tax hikes and unemployment.
International Worker’s Day, the tradition day set aside for worker’s rights is celebrated throughout the world, but this year was hardly a celebration because workers have become slaves to their jobs. When work is only about money, then slavery ensues and freedom is lost.
America, since the time of Ronald Wilson Reagan (the 666), has redefined freedom as: the right to make money; this narrow interpretation focuses only on the physical – giving no room to the spiritual aspect of work. In ancient societies spiritual endeavor was called: work.
In Hebrew, the word Avodah/Work is one of the three pillars upon which worlds stands: Torah/Teaching; Adovah/Work and Chesed/Kindness. A world standing only on money has little chance to survive. Rich people suck, has been replaced by, Poor people swallow.
The Cabala details the work of the Creator in creating creation, concluding with: And on the Seventh Day the Creator rested. When workers are slaves, there is no rest; when Ayn Rand is god, there is no hope. Moshiach will come, soon in our day, to bring freedom to the world.

THE CABALA OF MOSHIACH
Many Jewish communities in the United States mark the last day of Passover as the end of a Jewish holiday that celebrates the deliverance of Jewish people from slavery in Egypt.
A hundred and six years ago a Rebbe in Russia proclaimed, the four Alephim were coming into the world and therefore commanded his followers to drink four glasses of wine at the conclusion of the Passover. The letter aleph has the gematria of one – meaning the the 1111.
For years now people have been seeing the 1111 and wondering, why? These four Alephem/1111 represent the revelation from Adom Kadmin/First Adom entering into the world. The year was 5666 when Einstein famously published E equals MC squared bring about a new era.
At the same time Picasso discovered cubism and the earth quaked in San Francisco destroying the city of seven hills similar to Rome who also has seven hills. Pesach/Passover is the celebration of freedom and the last meal of Passover is called the meal of Moshicach.
King Moshiach is a gift from the Creator waiting to come to world within the next 228 years at the latest; Moshiach will bring peace to the world and somehow drinking four glasses of wine at the conclusion Passover somehow helps. I don’t know how but I am drunk on the service.

THE CABALA OF FREEDOM
Mike Wallace, the CBS reporter who became one of America’s best-known broadcast journalists as an interrogator of the famous and infamous on 60 Minutes, died on Saturday; he was 93.
The number 93 is the gematria of the word Magen/Shield, as in the six pointed star called: Magen Dovid/Shield of Dovid; the Cabala explains, the six points of the star correspond to the five limbs: arms, legs and sex plus the torso representing the six Medot/Measurements.
The space made in the center of the star is Malchut/Royalty representing the mouth and our ability to speak – the king rules through speech. Dovid, 3000 years ago, began the lineage that will eventually bring forth King Moshiach/Anointed who will bring true freedom to the world.
The journalist guards free speech by reporting the news in an unbiased manner; the unfettered ability for a society to speak openly is the most essential of freedoms because speaking is what separates the animal from the human being who is able to articulate thoughts into words.
King Dovid once asked God to reveal the date of his death but God refused; yet God did tell Dovid he would die on the Shabbot. Mike Wallace also died on the Shabbot, the first day of Passover when the Jewish People celebrate freedom – an appropriate time for a freedom watcher.

THE CABALA OF CHOL HAMOED
Chol Hamoed (literally, The weekdays of the holiday) are the intermediate days of Passover in the spring and Sukut in the fall; they are the days sandwiched between the beginning and end holy days of both festivals.
Passover is seven days long because it took seven days to leave the slavery of Egypt and become a nation. Freedom to the Jewish People means they were free to serve the Creator – slavery means, work come first. Freedom in our time means, free to make money and acquire wealth.
Being enslaved by the physical world prevents people from being free in the spiritual world; without spiritual freedom life is purposelessly confined – the meaning of the word Mitzriam/Egypt is Confinement. To become a nation the Jewish People required confinement.
The seven days of Passover is a metaphor for the birth process ending with the splitting of the sea and the drowning of those who attempted to restrain the birth – the 210 years of slavery was a long pregnancy but when the time came nothing could prevent the birth from happening.
These two seven day holidays, Passover and Sukut, are differentiated by food; during the seven days of Sukut anything can be eaten but only in the Sukah but during Passover one can eat anywhere but must eat matza – the holiday of Sukut represents sex while Passover is the birth.

THE CABALA OF PASSOVER
After centuries of slavery, Passover, referring to the way in which God passed over the homes of the Israelites during the night while killing the Egyptian first born, the last of the Ten Plagues was being visited upon the Egyptians.
The Cabala explains, God went against God’s own kind nature by killing the first born of the Egyptians to free the Jewish People, therefore commanded the Jewish People to go against their own nature by learning the Torah daily during every spare moment day and night.
Even now, 3500 years later, freedom from slavery and oppression requires war, death and suffering – the latest example being Syria. The Torah teaches, The only freedom is the teaching of God; without God being part of the equation one goes from one oppression to another.
God freed the Jewish People from slavery so they could receive the Torah and the 613 Commandments 50 days later on Har Sinai/Mountain of Hatred; the Talmud-Book of Law explains, By giving the Torah to the Jewish People caused hatred from the nations to be put upon Yisroel.
Every Passover the Jewish People reenact the process of freedom through eating the Matza and drinking the four cups of wine corresponding to the four future exiles: Babylon, Persia, Greek and Rome. The 2000 year Roman exile is prophesied to be the last exile before Moshiach.

THE CABALA OF MLK
While millions of Americans enjoy a day off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a growing number will spend the day by lending a hand in their community.
A Jewish custom after a person passes away is to give charity in their memory; the Cabala explains, the soul can no longer do God’s commandments on the physical earth and therefore are unable to change their place in heaven – giving charity is a way to let the deceased live.
In the case of Dr. King, the custom has been to devote time on this day to help the community. For decades to come, perhaps for centuries, this man will be honored by people helping people – the greatest of all tribute. The greatest charity is helping others not to need charity.
Dr. King championed respect for the human being and encouraged his followers to be peaceful even in the face of brutal attacks with clubs and dogs; Dr. King never lost his dignity and in that all peoples became dignified – only in our uniqueness are peoples equal.
The generation who witnessed the great bravery of Dr. King gave birth to color-blind children who are now going out into their community and devoting a day in the memory of Dr. King. Though he used the platform and fervor of religion, his compassion is what we recall.

Political Passover
When Passover begins at sunset on Monday evening the first family and about 20 others will gather for a ritual that neither the rabbinic sages nor the founding fathers would recognize.
The commandment of Passover is only to the Jewish People but the story and the idea of freedom that the holiday embodies is for all people all the time. What separates the human from the animal is our free will, directing our own lives, when freedom is threatened we turn into animals.
America is always touted as a free country from our very beginning; people come to America to be free, but what is free? The Torah implicit in the Ten Commandments was Cheresh/Engraved into sapphire; the Rabbis say don’t read Cheresh/Engraved but Cheresh/Free because the Torah makes one free.
There are 613 commandments in the Torah for the Jewish People who are obligated to perform through which freedom is obtained. When the 613 is connected to the Seven Commandments of Noah obligated by the rest of peoples of the earth makes the gematria 620 Keter/Crown.
The President as Commander and Chief protects the freedom of America where free choice is celebrated–when we chose to acknowledge the Creator than we are free. For the first family of our country to be partaking in Passover is a way of crowning the Creator at the highest level.

Month of Miracles
Today begins the month of Nissan. Our forefathers were redeemed from Egypt and in Nissan the future will be redeemed, according to the Talmud-Book of Law. The name of the month, Nissan, is cognate to the word, Nissim/Miracles.
The first commandment to the Jewish People is to make this month, the month of Nissan to be the first of our months even though the world calculates years from the fall–Rosh HaShana/Head of the Year. The new year of the fall provides sustenance whereas the new year of the spring brings freedom.
Freedom is a miracle as witnessed by the great difficulties surrounding being free–but, what is free? The Torah says that the teachings will make you free yet the teachings involve endless laws. How do laws make you free? The laws are boundaries and within the law you can be free and spontaneous.
Animals are not free because they are restrained by their inherent nature which never changes–the most stringent boundaries; human beings are expected to go beyond their nature and spiritual laws allow a safe place for this constant transition.
The Cabala explains how Cheresh/Free is connected to Cheresh/Engraved; when the truth of our freedom is engraved inside within then our light shins into the world. The month of Nissan in the spring is the beginning to a new cycle of freedom and freedom is a miracle.

Legal Age
More than half of black males between the ages of 16 and 19 are unemployed, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
One of the problems to our system of government is the arbitrary setting of dates like grown up at 18, able to drink at 21 or be president at 45. Each number has a logical significance, but life is so rarely logical.
The Zohar-Book of Secret says a person is liable for their actions from the age of 13 in this world but are not judged in the spirit world until the age of 20. It would be wise for our country to adopt such a standard.
The laws of the Torah predicate adulthood according to puberty which occurs around the age of thirteen which makes sense since freedom of choice happens when one is being pulled in different directions at the same time. If people were considered liable from the age of 13 then they would more easily fit into the social scheme.
Our technological, mechanized society enacts laws of expediency instead of looking out for the best interests of the people. The Laws of the Torah are meant to respect the person, the earth and the Creator. All the ways of Torah are peace.

Water on the Moon
The satellite, known as Lcross crashed into a crater near the moon’s south pole last month and carved out a hole 60 to 100 feet wide and kicked up at least 26 gallons of water, Nasa said on Friday.
The Torah begins with a description of the Breath of God which hovered upon the waters during the First Day of Creation for the light to reflect upon; on the second day the water split then commanded by the Creator to seek depth changed the order of nature.
It is the nature of the elements to stack one upon the other according to weight and density; when water instead of covering earth penetrated into earth the nature of water was also changed–therefore water freezes on the surface instead of in the center like all the other elements.
Science has discovered water at the furthest reaches of our universe and so it is no surprise to find water embedded in the moon; eventually they will discover oceans of water beneath Mars our sister planet which has according to the Zohar-Book of Secret a core of ice surrounded by water encased by iron–thus the red planet. Earth is the opposite having a core of iron, an interior of earth surrounded by water.
The Torah/Teaching is said be an ocean of water upon which the Light of the Creator constantly shines and 26 is the gematria of YHVH, the Four Letter Name of God.

Memorial Day
President Obama observed Memorial Day on today just as his predecessors have: by placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Mr. Obama added a new twist: he sent a second wreath to a memorial honoring African-Americans who fought in the Civil War.
Freedom gained through war is as ironic as peace gained through war. In the Torah there are specific laws about war; war can not be waged from four sides because a way of escape must be open and tree bearing fruit can not be used to fight a war with. The human being is compared to a tree who gives fruit in their time.
The bloody battles of the last 100 years have dwarfed all that came before; the technological advances from the industrial revolution has made war a cold-blooded event. Waring for peace is a human condition, but we are promised in the future true peace, a thousand years of peace know as the 1000 years of woman–the reward for staying in the battle of life until the end.
All living beings are soldiers to the Creator, overcoming darkness and bringing light in its stead.

New Moon—New Year
The first commandment to the Jewish People at the brink of becoming a nation 3500 years ago is: the new moon of this month will be the beginning of your months—the month is called Nisim/Miracle. The spring time is the New Year for the human being with our unique ability of freedom of choice. Though most decisions in life happen out of practice reactions there are instances of choice which require forethought and intention.
Intention is the key to freedom of choice; actions are often not enough or inappropriate for the situation, but the clarity of one’s intentions can often overcome other obstacles.
It is during this month that Pesach/Passover occurs at the full moon; like the spring, this holiday celebrates birth and freedom. It is a time to reflect on one’s intention in being in this world created by the Creator; it is a time to reflect upon the meaning of life and how to plot our course to the future.

Freedom VS Slavery
In 2008, 3.8 million companies had fewer than 10 workers, and they employed 12.4 million people, or roughly 11 percent of the private sector work force, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In the Torah slavery is one of the options available for those in need of money. There are strict laws written in the Torah about how to treat the slave and the obligations of the owner to the slave.
The slave goes free if you hurt him, meaning the owner loses the money to the slave—we call it Workman’s Compensation; the owner must provide for the slave a place to live for him and his family plus medical and sustenance. What makes the person a slave is his is not his own person.
The Torah points out if the slave loves being a slave and wants to be a slave forever, the master puts a hole through the ear lobe of the slave to signify that this is the ear that heard in the Torah that it is best to be free. Work and service are the same word, Avoda, which can also mean Slave and Worker.
To do what you love is work; to do another person love is slavery.
