Physical slavery -
even today every child is a physical
slave of its parent (or vice versa)
Mental slavery -
all are conditioned by
social cultural surroundings to conform to expected behavioral norms
Wage slavery
- every employee is a wage
slave to the employer
Debt
Slavery - every borrower is a
debt slave to the holder of the indebtedness
An individual may be
either a physical slave or
a mental slave and these
forms of slavery may or may not overlap.
On the other hand wage slaves
and debt slaves are enslaved in both ways simultaneously.
"Under the tolerant rule of the Mohammedans, the
Jews began slavery and began to prosper. They, who had been poor and bedraggled
peddlers for centuries, now became wealthy and powerful traders. They traveled
everywhere, from England
to India, from Bohemia to
Egypt. Their commonest merchandise in those days was slaves. On every highroad
and on every great river and sea, these Jewish traders were to be found with
their gangs of shackled prisoners in convoy." - rabbi Lewis
Browne
 "Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power and chattel slavery destroyed.
Slavery is but the owning
of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the European plan,
led by England, is that capital shall control labor by controlling
wages.
This can be done by controlling the money.
The great debt
out of the war will be used as a means to
control the volume of
money.
To
accomplish this, bonds must be used as a banking basis.
We are now
awaiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make his recommendation to
Congress.
It will
not do to allow the greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any
length of time, as we cannot control that." - banker's hazard circular
1862
"It's no secret that the highest prices
now go
for the white women." - Marco Buffo
In Israel women are held in
apartments, bars and makeshift brothels; there they service, by their own count, as
many as 15 clients a day. Often they sleep in shifts, four to a bed. The
best that most hope for is to be deported after the police finally catch up
with their captors. In Israel in 1998 there was not even a specific law against
the sale of human beings.
Irina hoped her beauty would rescue her from the
poverty and hopelessness
of village life. After answering a vague ad in a small Ukrainian
newspaper, Irina slipped off a tour boat at
Haifa, hoping to make a bundle dancing naked on the tops of tables.
(In
1998 the average salary in Ukraine was about
$30 a month with 30 applicants for every job in most Ukrainian cities.)
To the self-deluded 21
year old Irina Israel offered a new world, and for a week or two everything
seemed possible. Then, one morning, she was driven to a
brothel, where her boss burned her
passport before her eyes.
"I own you." Irina recalled his saying.
"You are my property and you will work until you earn your way out.
Don't try to leave. You have no papers and you don't speak Hebrew. You will be
arrested and deported. Then we will get you and bring you back."
"I
don't think the man who ruined my life will even be fined." Irina said softly,
slow tears filling her
enormous green eyes.
"You can call me a fool for coming here. That's my
crime. I am stupid. A stupid girl from
a little village. But can people really buy and sell women and get away with
it? Sometimes I sit here and
ask myself if that really happened to me, if it can really happen at all."
In Ukraine alone, the number of women
who leave is staggering. As many as 400,000 women under 30 have left in the
1990's.
Israel is a fairly typical
destination.
Prostitution
is not illegal here, although brothels are, and with 250,000 foreign male
workers - most of whom are single or here without their wives - the demand is
great.
Police officials estimate that there are
25,000 paid sexual transactions every
day. Brothels are ubiquitous. None
of the women seem to realize the risks they run until it is too late. Once they
cross the border their passports will be confiscated, their freedom curtailed
and what little money they have taken from them at once.
"You want to
tell these kids that if something seems too good to be true it usually is." -
Lyudmilla Biryuk, a Ukrainian psychologist who has counseled women who have
escaped or been released from bondage
"The
mafia is not stupid. There is less
law enforcement since the
Soviet Union fell
apart and more freedom of movement. The earnings are incredible. The overhead
is low - you don't have to buy cars and guns. Drugs you sell once and they are
gone. Women can earn money for a long time." - Michael Platzer
"I answered an ad to be a waitress." said Tamara,
19, a Ukrainian prostitute in a massage
parlor near old Central Bus Station in
Tel Aviv, a Russian-language
ghetto for the cheapest brothels. " I didn't plan to do this. They took my
passport, so I don't have much choice."
"This is a
sophisticated, global operation. It's evil, and it's successful because the
money is so good. These men pay $500 to $1,000 for a Ukrainian or Russian
woman. They will buy these women and make a fortune out of them. Take a small
place with 10 girls. Each has 15 to 20
clients a day. Multiply that by say 200 shekels. So say 30,000 shekels a
day comes in to each place. Each girl works 25 days a month, minimum. So we are
talking about 750,000 shekels a month, or about $215,000. A man often owns five
of these places. That's a million dollars. No taxes, no real overhead.
It's a factory with slave labor. And
we've got them all over Israel." - Yitzhak Tyler
"The Tropicana, in Tel
Aviv's bustling business district, is one of the busiest brothels. Always
filled with half-naked Russian women, the club is open around the clock. There
is a schedule on the wall next to the receptionist - with each woman's hours
listed in a different color, and the days and shifts rotating, as at a
restaurant or a bar. Next to the schedule a sign reads, "We don't accept
checks." There are 12 cubicles at the
Tropicana where 20 women work in shifts, 8 during the daytime, 12 at night.
Business is always booming. Israeli soldiers, with rifles on their shoulders,
frequent the place, as do business executives, foreign workers and tourists.
The women who work there, like nearly all prostitutes in Israel today, are Russian.
Their pimp, Jacob Golan, is not." - Michael Spector
"Israelis
lust for Russian girls. They are blonde and
good-looking and different from us. And they are desperate. They are ready to
do anything for money." - Jacob Golan
"In the past four years, I don't
know of a single case where a woman chose to testify." - Betty Lahan, prison
director of Neve Tirtsa."
"Young girls in large numbers were noticed
suddenly to disappear, without anyone knowing what had become of them. It was
the action tried in 1892, at Lemberg, capital of Austrian Polonia, which
finally enlightened us. Twenty-eight Yiddish are accused of abduction and
traffic in young girls. They had promised them the most brilliant conditions to
persuade them to go abroad. Immediately, once they had crossed the frontier,
they were treated as slaves and every attempt at escape was roughly frustrated.
On arrival in Turkey they were sold to the
houses of prostitution for an average price of 1,000 Marks each." -
Francois Trocase, Jewish Austria
slavery in ancient Israel/Judah
"Tell us the precise time when slaveholding ceased
to be permitted, and became sinful?" - rabbi Dr. M.J. Raphall"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around
you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary
residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and
they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited
property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your
fellow Israelites ruthlessly." Leviticus 25:43-46
Slavery is not
forbidden. Slavery is legal and a modern imperialist might say it is freedom to
own slaves. Non-semite slaves
from other nations may be treated as animals but Hebrews must be properly
treated as human.
"If you buy
a Hebrew servant, he is
to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without
paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a
wife when he comes, she is to go with him.If his master gives him a wife and
she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her
master, and only the man shall go free." Exodus 21:2-4
Male Hebrew
slaves in ancient Israel were automatically emancipated after 6 years of
slavery, but only if they were male Hebrews. Male Hebrews wives and children
still belonged to the slavemaster and female Hebrews were only emaciapated if
mistreated. Thieves were sold into slavery.
"If a man sells his daughter as a
servant, she is not to go free as male servants do."- Exodus
21:7
"If she does not please the master who has selected her for
himself, he must let her be redeemed.
He has no right to sell her to
aliens, because he has broken faith with her. If he selects her for his
son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. If he marries another woman,
he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. If
he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any
payment of money." Exodus 21:8-11
If a person bought a female slave from her
father and she displeased him, he had no right to sell her to a foreign owner.
If the owner required her to marry his son, then the owner was required to
treat her like a daughter-in-law. If the owner marries his slave and later
marries another woman, he was required to treat his slave as he previously had.
If he violates any of these requirements, then she must be emancipated. She
would leave without any money or means of supporting herself; she would be
free, but abandoned.
"Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no
children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The
Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; it may be that
I shall obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of
Sarai."
Hagar had no choice but to become impregnated by her master as
she was Abraham's property.
"The seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord
your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or
daughter, nor your male or female slave, nor your animals, nor any alien that
is within thy gates." Exodus 20:10
Observant Hebrews gave their slaves one
day off a week.
"Anyone who steals must certainly
make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their
theft." - Exodus 22:3
"Anyone who beats their
male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct
result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day
or two, since the slave is
their property." Exodus 21:20-21
Killing your slave is not allowed but
beating them as long as they can survive after two days is
allowed.
"The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried
out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered
the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves." 2
Kings 4:1
If you couldn't pay off your debt your children could be sold
into slavery by your creditor.
(Note: Kings is not part of the
Oral Torah and was added
later by the Hebrews of Alexandria
that penned the Septuagint.)
(1) The attitudes
towards prostitutes is similar to the attitude towards prostitutes now. It was
seen as a disgusting and immoral profession and there was no
sympathy for the woman.
In line with
the fact that the Torah was written by men, the
prostitutes create evil.
As a punishment Jeremiah 13:26-27 says; "Therefore will I
discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy
shame may appear. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the
lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields"
These women will be forcibly put in front of the public naked in order to
embarrass and humiliate
them. Levititus 21:9 is a bit more extreme; 'And the daughter of any
priest, if she profanes herself by
whoring, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.'
(2) Yet despite this, one of the heroes of
the Torah, Samson visited a prostitute.
Judges 16:1, 'One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went
in to spend the night with her.'
(3) Judah (Jacobs son) also slept with
a prostitute. Later he found out she was his daughter-in-law and furthermore
she became pregnant. So he ordered her to be
burnt alive. (Genesis 38:16, 40)

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
