Speaking of “cabals”, as you ( Brad ) did, I'm reminded
that the word comes from “cabala” ( Kabala, Kabbalah ),
which means “tradition” or “received doctrine”.


Quoting:
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menachem_Mendel_Schneerson


“ Born in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, [ Menachem Mendel Schneerson ] was
* the eldest of three sons of Levi Yitzchak Schneerson,


* an authority on Kabbalah and Jewish law who served as
* the Rabbi of Yekaterinoslav from 1907 to 1939. [...]


* Schneerson later studied independently under his father,
* who was his primary teacher.


* He studied Talmud and rabbinic literature,
* as well as the Hasidic view of Kabbalah. ”


“ In 1991, Schneerson was indirectly involved in the start of a riot
* in his neighborhood of Crown Heights.


* The riot began when a car accompanying his *motorcade
* — returning from one of his regular cemetery visits
* * to his father-in-law's grave —
* accidentally struck two seven-year-olds [ African Americans ]
* and left the scene, killing one.


* In the rioting, Australian Jewish graduate student Yankel Rosenbaum
* was murdered, many Lubavitchers were badly beaten, and


* much property was destroyed; also,
* rioters hurled rocks and bottles at the Jews over police lines. ”..


“ After Schneerson's death, a bill was introduced in
* the U.S. House of Representatives
* *— sponsored by Congressmen Chuck Schumer and co-sponsored by
* * *Newt Gingrich, and Jerry Lewis, as well as 220 other Congressmen —
* *to posthumously bestow on Schneerson the Congressional Gold Medal.


* On November 2, 1994 the bill passed both Houses by unanimous consent,
* honoring Schneerson for his
* ‘ outstanding and enduring contributions toward world education,
* * morality, and acts of charity. ’


* President Bill Clinton spoke these words
* at the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony:


* ‘ The late Rebbe's eminence as a moral leader for our country was
* * recognized by every president since Richard Nixon.


* * For over two decades, the Rabbi's movement now has
* * some 2000 institutions; educational, social, medical,
* * all across the globe.


* * We ( the United States Government ) recognize
* * the profound role that Rabbi Schneerson had in
* * the expansion of those institutions. ’. ”.


As I said at least a thousands times before, not all Jews are bad,
although far too few bother to police their own kind. *So which is
better or worse?

Most mafia families were good for themselves and their community, but
when they failed to police their own kind is when it turned ugly.
Same can be said of the UAW and of certain other unions that were
clearly biased and/or prejudicial against outsiders, and at times
functioning above the law.

What good is any group, cartel or cabal if they don't police their own
kind?

Would you buy those Girl Scout cookies if they were packing AK47s and
openly taking out their competition?

Maybe they have already done that! I haven't seen any Boy Scouts
selling cookies lately!
