Agitated in Accord with the Medrash Sefer Eliyahu

I quote for your perusal from the oft-quoted and very accurate portrayal of events in our generataion, the Medrash "Sefer Eliyahu". Way too much of it is starkly self-explanatory. Here it is:

Then Michael, The Archangel, said to me, 'The appointed time for the End of Days will occur during the reign of a king who will be named HRMLT. There are those that say that TRMLO will be his name.' (Following this is a list of other names given by Later Tannaim from the first and second centuries c.e. describing the foreign handlers of TRMLO and/or foreign rulers of Yerushalayim after he caves in over everything.) Continuing: Rav Shimon bar Yochai says HaChShaRaH will be his name. The halachah in this dipute amongst later Tannaim follows Rav Shimon who said HaChShaRaH will be his name. (This name sounds peculiarly like Jacques Chirac, the President of France until the end of this coming April 2007 when Nicholas Sarkozy is likely to be elected by picking up over 95% of every non-Muslim voter. Yet, Chirac who seems to dislike Sarkozy intensely may decide to run again just to spite him, but Chirac is 73 years old.)

Continuing in the very next paragraph: The last king of Persia will come up against the Romans for three successive years until he expands (his gains) against them (in battle) over a period of twelve months. (Achmadinejad came to power in the summer of 5765. Part of a year of a king is counted as a full year of his reign, and the rule of gentile kings is counted from Rosh HaShanah unlike Jewish kings whose rule is counted from Pesach. Achi is in the third year of his reign starting this Rosh HaShana 5767. He has been a handful for Edom (Rome) from the moment that he ascended his throne. He has outwitted them with every move. According to Eliyahu HaNavi, expect war this year. And with whom you may ask?) Three mighty warrior kings (Gog W., Tony Blair, and maybe Jacques Chirac: All three are elected lame ducks with nothing to lose but their legacies.) will come up to oppose him from the West, but they will be handed over into his control. Then the lowliest of the kings (The French king?), the son (or grandson) of a 'shifchah' named 'Gigit' (Gigi in French?) will confront him from the West. (For over 150 years slavery has been banned if every Western country. The only possible shifchah is a non-Jewish woman married to a Jewish man. Since such a marriage is impossible, it is as if the relationship between a Jewish man and a non-Jewish woman is a relationship between a Jewish man and his slave. Only one Western leader or potential leader is the son or grandson on his mother's side of a Jewish man and a non-Jewish woman. That man is Nicholas Sarkozy whose maternal grandfather was a Jew from Salonika named Benedict Mallah and his mother's mother was a French Catholic. I cannot find her name yet. Maybe it was Gigi. Please help if you can.)

Now back to Armilus or TRMLO: These will be his signs, for Daniel has already foreseen him: His face will be long, there will be a bald patch between his eyes, he will be very tall, the soles of his feet will be high, and his thighs will be thin. Maybe this is his mugshot:



At that time he will attack the faithful people, and he will provoke at that time three agitations. All the constellations will be gathered together and move to one place. They will plunder houses and rob fields and strike the orphan and the widow in in the shuk, but if they (soldiers or police) perform penitence they will be forgiven.

If Armona was agitation number one, this Gayvah (Proud or Gay) Parade is agitation number two. If Gush Katif was number one, this is agitation number three. With a wife who is an open supporter of same sex marriage and with a lesbian daughter who would be proud to be be Grand Marshall of a parade which forces society to accept her lifestyle as an equal, any attempt to mollify his Chareidi coalition partners by recognizing their right to protest is a feigned attempt. He has supported this parade from the start.

Now the parade has been confined to the citadels and the cathedrals of the Erev Rav. The Mazuz compromise route will offer participants views of the Knesset, the Supreme NarishCourt, the Museum District, and the Givat Ram Campus of Hebrew Univ. If this were a normal group of marchers, one might agree with Snake Mazuz's compromise. If anything he has quickened the pace the destruction of the secular state in the hands of G-d. But these marchers will be looking for trouble after the March. The same group of thugs that French kissed in front of the Great Synagogue last year when the local gays had their march will be back in force to welcome congregants leaving shule on Friday night. I have no idea how the police plan to control the Friday night party after the march.

There are three groups of Chareidi Jews that have vehemently protested to keep this garbage out of their neighborhoods. The followers of the Admor of Sadigura and the Erloier Rebbe who valiantly tried to stop orthodox Jews from participating in a government that impoverished 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif and the Shomron are one group. The followers of those who joined Sharon's government make up a larger group. They now ask what have they done to bring on this tragedy. The answer for those in the second group who understand that Mentchlichkeit is kadma to the Torah is a simple one. Hugging a Caravilla refugee or at least paying his phone bill might be a good step toward teshuva.

There is a third group, though, which is probably the largest group of vehement protesters. Their leaders many of them from Satmar have never joined any government. They take no govenment money for anything and have refrained since 1948 from receiving benefits from the secular state. I do not know how they avoid National Insurance since anyone who owns a business here has to give ma'aser (10%) to those folks, but somehow they have insulated themselves from the secular state. They are like tzaddikim with pelts (fur coats) who pray for redemption in general but withdraw completely from those who participate in the state's history. They, in general, did nothing to stop disengagement, but they did nothing to cause it either. Measure for measure, in their merit, this ugly affair has been removed by G-d (Mazuz has no real power.) from their neighborhood into the places that they abhor and ignore as much as possible, the Institutions of the State. If we could only lock up the parade goers in the Knesset and the Supreme NarishCourt overnight after their pitiful little event, we could all breathe a sigh of relief.

Since I first wrote this blog entry, one of the many readers has informed me that Nicholas Sarkozy's maternal grandmother did not have the legal name Gigi when she married Benedict Mallah. There is no way I could have found this out by ordinary means since her name does not appear in any articles in English or Hebrew. Googling it in English and Hebrew therefore came up with nothing which is why I posed it as a question. Thanks to the French readers of this blog, one of whom spent several hours investigating the geneology of his mother's family. In short, in this case I needed to publish the possibility in order to find out the facts from someone who could do the research in French. Only in the worldwide blogosphere is this possible. His response is in the comments to this blog entry. Thanks, Ben.
