EPSTEIN'S BEEF JERKY

 

Epstein Files: Is “Jerky” Code For Human Meat?

Emails found in the recent Epstein files contain an absurd number of messages about… beef jerky. And, in many cases, that word is used in bizarre contexts that make one wonder if it is a code for something else. Some believe it refers to human meat. Here’s a look at Epstein’s strange “jerky” obsession.

When I was made aware of the speculations regarding the word “jerky” in Epstein’s communications referring to human meat, I was intrigued yet sceptical. Intrigued because I am very well aware of these people’s tendencies to use code words to refer to their illicit activities (see my 2016 Pizzagate article). However, I was also sceptical because there’s been a great number of theories circulating regarding the Epstein files that turn out to be “big nothings” after some basic research.

As I like to say, this site is about finding truth, not conspiracies. So I started looking into this rabbit hole with a rather sceptical mindset, and fully expecting to quickly dismiss it as a “big nothing.” After searching the DOJ’s website (and other sources) for any mentions of the word “jerky” I found an absurd number of results, mainly email communications between Epstein and his staff.

After reviewing all of them, here are some conclusions: Jeffrey Epstein loved beef jerky. Actually, he was obsessed with it. Actually, he NEEDED beef jerky in great quantities, or he became very upset, and everyone around him was very stressed out about that.

While I understand that it is quite possible to obsess over a particular food item or base one’s diet on protein, the contents of several emails remain baffling. Beef jerky definitely had a “special status” in Epstein’s world, and a ridiculous number of emails are just him fiending for it like a crackhead.

Jeffrey needs jerky now.

Numerous emails pertain solely to jerky, its production, and transport to various locations, including Little Saint James (aka Pedo Island). Other emails are about storing it in freezers and ever getting it… analyzed in the lab.

These strange, seemingly out-of-context mentions of jerky lead some to believe the word is about something else, possibly human meat.

For centuries, in some high-powered circles, the consumption of human meat, blood, and adrenochrome (especially fresh) has been believed to confer youthful strength and physical rejuvenation. However, it comes at a cost: Addiction.

Is this what this jerky business is all about? I’ll let you review the material below and come to your own conclusions.

Strange Jerky

The Epstein files contained a picture of a sole, strange-looking, jerky strip on a ziplock bag. Oddly enough, that picture was deleted from the DOJ’s site. Why? It’s only beef jerky … right?

To understand how some emails seem out of place, here’s a quick summation of what a jerky is and its properties.

Jerky is lean trimmed meat strips which are dehydrated to prevent spoilage and seasoned to varying degrees. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt to prevent microbial growth through osmosis.

Jerky is ready to eat, needs no additional preparation, and can be stored for months without refrigeration.

With these facts in mind, here are some emails regarding Epstein’s jerky.

An email exchange between Epstein’s then-girlfriend Karyna Shuliak and a redacted person discusses obtaining beef jerky from a fridge and transporting it in an “insulated bag” with ice.

A main reason jerky is popular is that it is a shelf-stable protein that lasts for months without refrigeration. Why do some still do it? Absolutely nobody transports it in “cold insulated bags” with ice… as if it were human body parts or something. Also, why would Shuliak recommend “not checking” the meat? It’s only beef jerky, right?

When it is not transported in bags, Epstein’s jerky is carefully stored in freezers.

One of the many other emails pertaining to freezing jerky.

More talk about freezing jerky. Apparently, Epstein needed to have some of it in Paris and Africa … as if it was some sort of addictive drug.

Some people freeze their jerky to store it for over a year. However, as we’ll soon see, Epstein consumed enormous amounts of it and constantly ran out, so there was no reason for him to freeze it.

Other emails highlighted the “special status” of this all-important jerky.

This email mentions that Epstein has started eating “normal food again,” so he might be eating less jerky. Might. That stuff is hard to give up, apparently.  Since when is jerky not “normal food?” It’s beef, right?

Another odd fact about Epstein’s jerky: He had some batached analyzed in labs.

This is an email from NYC restaurant mogul Steve Hanson to Epstein. After claiming his dog ate his jerky, he confirmed he would send 6-8 oz of the precious meat to a lab.

An email from Epstein about analyzing jerky.

If the jerky consisted of beef and some seasoning, why would it require analysis? Is it because we’re not talking about beef at all?

One thing is for sure: Epstein and his friends appeared to be obsessed with it.

Jerky Mad

To understand the weirdness of the jerky situation, consider the following emails.

An email exchange between Epstein’s and Leon Black’s people.

Epstein is in Leon Black’s office, and he’s requesting jerky (of all things in the world) to be personally sent to him. His assistant replies that Jojo is “walking over jerky.” Strange phrasing.

Jojo is granted access to Leon’s office to deliver the all-important … beef jerky.

Picture this scenario. Leon Black is a private equity investor and the CEO of Apollo Global Management. His net worth is over $ 13 billion. Epstein is at his office, and there’s suddenly a jerky emergency. He wants his assistant, Leslie Groff (who is known to have orchestrated many of Epstein’s nefarious activities), to have someone personally “walk over” some … beef jerky. Why was so much care taken for this delivery?

A main purveyor of this all-important jerky is Francis Derby who owned two restaurants named … wait for it … The Cannibal.

An email from a redacted person to Epstein, presenting Derby as a chef at The Cannibal.

An Instagram post of The Cannibal in Hell’s Kitchen (perfect location). The caption says: “Chef Kim giving anatomy lessons. This is a lamb right?!” Well, it kind of looks like a human … and the name of the restaurant is The Cannibal.

So this Derby guy becomes one of Epstein’s personal chefs. He requests a food dehydrator for places such as Pedo Island so he can continuously make jerky. Also, he teaches people around Epstein how to make it.

However, he soon realizes that Epstein takes jerky VERY seriously.

Epstein sends a message to Derby, saying that he is “very very annoyed” because “he has no jerky again.” Derby replies that he will mail him his precious jerky.

In many emails, Epstein simply doesn’t sound like a human being. He has world-renowned chefs who can prepare him the most succulent meals on earth. However, he is “very, very annoyed” about not having beef jerky and is harassing an off-site chef to send him some ASAP. Are we really talking about beef jerky?

More jerky-related anger.

In another email, Epstein berates the chef again about jerky. Derby replies that Steve (the mogul mentioned above) NEEDS 6-8oz of the precious meat. He added that he did not expect Epstein to go through 2 lbs of it in record time. However, he will make more before going to LSJ (Little Saint James aka Pedo Island).

In this email exchange, a redacted person NEEDS to know if Epstein is out of jerky. The person who replies says, “He must be going through it like crazy.”

It is clear that Epstein did not merely enjoy jerky, he NEEDED it. And many communications revolve solely around it.

One of the many, many emails pertaining solely to jerky and its transportation.

Also, that food staple clearly had a special status, and Epstein keept mentioning it at the most random times.

This is an email from Epstein to the co-founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman (net worth of over $ 2billion). Epstein has a lot to discuss with him in an upcoming call: Planes, charities, mapping orthogonal dimensions and … beef jerky? One of these items clearly does not belong.

This jerky obsession was not a fleeting thing. Communications regarding it spanned several years, until his arrest in 2019. About a month before his arrest, he (or someone on his staff) sent this bizarre text message to a person named Leo.

On June 4th, 2019, a redacted person ordered to get rid of the food dehydrator.

Why such a specific request? Were there traces of human meat in the dehydrator? Did he know that investigators would soon be looking into his stuff? So many strange questions.

In Conclusion

After reviewing every mention of “jerky” in the Epstein files (there are hundreds more), we can come to a few conclusions. First, Epstein was obsessed with it, consumed large quantities, and got upset when he ran out. Second, other high-powered figures around him seemed to share this obsession. Third, his entire staff was instructed to carefully monitor the quantities available, have them delivered worldwide, and ensure they are properly refrigerated at all times. Finally, Epstein and his friends had beef jerky analyzed in a lab, even though the nutritional value of this common food is well known.

In other words, none of these things normally apply to beef jerky. Nobody in their right mind would have this many back-and-forths with so many people about beef jerky, except maybe people in the beef jerky business. But Epstein wasn’t. He was, at best, an enthusiastic consumer and, at worst, a complete addict. Judging by the urgency of his emails, he needed jerky (and nothing else) for sustenance until he went back to so-called “regular food.”

No matter the case, jerky definitely held a special place in Epstein’s diet and his life in general. It is possible that some emails refer to actual beef jerky, but others simply do not make sense. Unless that jerky is … special. Did Epstein devise some sort of human jerky and had it analyzed to figure out its nutritional value? Is this why he got rid of his food dehydrator?

While we ponder on the deep absurdity of these questions, Epstein is probably somewhere in Israel asking:

KILLING CHRISTIANS AND STARVING CHILDREN TO ADVANCE THE EMPIRE

THE ONGOING WAR ON ARAB CHRISTIANS AND WESTERN COMPLICITY

Christianity faces the possibility of disappearing in the Middle East, where its roots go back to the death of Jesus Christ. A century ago, Christians comprised 20 percent of the region’s population. Today, they are less than four percent.

Saudia Arabia defines itself as an Islamic State, and Saudis are required by law to be Muslim. Christians living in the country cannot worship in public, and they are not entitled to hold meetings even in the privacy of their own homes. Christians caught practising their faith in public are most likely to be beheaded.

Despite all this severe persecution, Saudi Arabia is America’s largest foreign military customer and second-largest trade partner. Particularly under the administration of President Donald Trump, a very strong military and economic relationship was cemented between the two countries.

There is also now evidence that the U.S. government under President Barack Obama indirectly aided and abetted extremists in their quest to expand the scope of Islamic fundamentalism during the so-called “Arab Spring,” which was a series of anti-government protests and uprisings that spread across much of the Middle East (and North Africa) in the early 2010s.

During this period, the U.S. government and its agents did more than any fundamentalist group “to permanently enshrine Sharia as the constitutional law of the land throughout the Muslim world.”

In Egypt, the “Arab Spring” ended up empowering extremists to initiate bloody persecution that has led hundreds of thousands of Christian Copts to flee the nation. Egyptian political scholar Samuel Tadros said: “The Copts can only wonder today whether, after 2,000 years, the time has come for them to pack their belongings and leave, as Egypt looks less hospitable to them than ever.”

In Iraq, Christian Assyrians are among the last to pray in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. However, since Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship was overthrown by an U.S.-led military coalition, at least two-thirds of the Assyrian population has fled the country due to “intense violence from Islamist extremists and common criminals, both of whom operate with impunity and who specifically target Christians.”

From 2005 to 2008, when some 100,000 American troops were occupying Iraq, the local Christian community experienced some horrific persecution. When 20,000 Christian families were being violently driven from Baghdad in 2006-07, then-U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice contended that the American government could not take effective action to protect them from being murdered and kidnapped because it did not want American policy to be seen as “sectarian”.

One laudable exception to the persecution of Arab Christians is Syria, a country where they can trace their origins to the beginnings of the Christian faith. There, the embattled autocratic ruler of Syria, Bashir Al-Assad, has always protected Christians and his Alawite Muslim sect against foreign-backed religious extremists.

Therefore, the support of Syrian Christians to the Assad regime is entirely justifiable. It is primarily due to a fear that the ongoing uprising against this secular government could end in just another Islamist takeover that would threaten the very existence of the nation’s multi-religious society.

However, since June 2012, the U.S. government has run a covert operation in aid of military groups fighting President Assad’s army forces. Some of these groups are Sunni warriors affiliated with al-Qaeda and other extremist groups that are waging jihad against that secular government.

By contrast, Russia has supported Syria since the beginning of the conflict, first politically and then, since September 2015, with military aid in the fight against extremist groups supported by al-Qaeda. Russia has used its veto power in the U.N. Security Council to block at least four resolutions endorsing military intervention against the Syrian government, and it did not retroactively support Western sanctions on Syria.

Religious freedom, of course, is the bedrock on which the United States was founded. Why is it then that Washington has been so indifferent, sometimes even complicit, on all these egregious human rights violations in the Middle East?

The answer lies, at least in part, with the strong economic ties between these Western elites and the Saudi theocratic rulers. As author Paul Marshall points out,

“Because Saudi Arabia supplies one-quarter of the world’s oil, the United States and other governments have been reluctant to press it harder to end its demonization and incitement to violence against Christians both within the kingdom and throughout the Islamic world. This reluctance exists despite the financial and other support for terrorism emanating from the kingdom—terrorism based on doctrines of religious hatred and jihad.”

The United States and its Western allies have a lot to answer for the appalling atrocities against Christians in the Middle East. Since they have somehow contributed to many human rights violations in the region, especially against the Arab Christians, they deserve our strongest possible condemnation.

The United States of America is Stealing the Food of the Syrian Children

 LINDA- MAY 29, 2022- SYRIA-

The Syrian people suffer from hunger and starving to death, the US army illegally deployed in Syria is still stealing their food.

Recently, the food crisis once again attracted global attention. such as the pandemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have exacerbated the already disrupted supply chains and food markets around the world. A few days ago, International Red Cross officials called on the international community not to forget the continued provision of humanitarian assistance to Syria.

According to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), 12.4 million people in Syria (nearly 60% of the total population) are currently experiencing “food insecurity” and “most OF THE Syrians do not know when their next meal will come from.”

Syria Emergency Report by the World Food Programme

Syria, which was the “granary of the Middle East,” is now a land of famine and a humanitarian catastrophe. The black hands of the United States can be seen everywhere.

11 years of war turned the greeny lands into rubble.

In 2011, the war on Syrian civil war broke out, and the United States and other Western countries took advantage of this situation, as the United States initially planted its proxies seeking to overthrow the Syrian regime, and then intervened directly by force under the name of “fighting terrorism”.

The continued bombardment has destroyed infrastructure and agricultural lands in many parts of Syria. In addition, the war resulted in the displacement of a large number of civilians in Syria as refugees and stopped agricultural production in many towns.

In April 2017, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released a report showing that the war has cost Syrian agriculture up to $16 billion of lost; The number of people still living in rural areas of the country in 2016 was less than half of the rural population in 2011; lack access to fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural infrastructure such as irrigation systems.

Food is not enough, yet the US military is looting it

In 2015, the United States officially sent troops to Syria under the pretext of fighting extremist groups. In recent years, the media has repeatedly revealed that illegal US forces stationed in Syria often use convoys to transport oil, wheat, and other materials from Hasaka Governorate to northern Iraq for profit, which has also exacerbated the energy and food crisis in Syria.

In November 2021, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) sent about 3,000 tons of wheat seed to farmers in northeastern Syria. However, by examining samples, the Syrian Department of Agriculture found that 40% of the wheat seeds provided by the United States contained grain stomata, which was not only unsuitable for cultivation but would also cause great harm to local agricultural production.

SANA report on the harmful wheat seeds provided by USAIAD

Severe sanctions prevent Syria from importing even fertilizers

In December 2019, the ex-US President Donald Trump signed the “Caesar Act“, which expanded the scope of sanctions to include almost all areas of the national economy and people who lived in Syria under the pretext of “protecting Syrian civilians.” The economic sanctions have delayed reconstruction in Syria, and the food crisis continues.

In March of this year, a set of data released by the United Nations showed that in the past 11 years, at least 350,000 people have lost their lives in Syria, more than 12 million people have been displaced, and 14 million civilians are in dire need of humanitarian assistance.

The United States has been behind all the wars, chaos, and turmoil in the Middle East. The United States has held the mantle of “human rights” high, often waging wars, inciting conflicts, obstructing political situations, and abusing sanctions, causing severe economic and social damage in many countries. All kinds of facts have proven that the US is the biggest “criminal of human rights” in the Middle East.

Talmud Pedophilia: The Jewish Religion Allows Sex with 3-Year-Old Baby Girls and Little Boys Under Nine

Andrew Anglin March 2, 2014

Rev. Ted Pike
March 2, 2014

Jews are a race of unbelievable monsters. Who on earth would publish religious books saying it is okay to have sex with babies? At least in Islam the girl has to be nine before you are allowed to penetrate her.

For nearly a century, the Jewish-dominated Hollywood film industry and big media have conspicuously influenced Christian America away from Biblical morals and values. (See, “Jews Confirm Big Media Is Jewish“)

Yet, with the hippie rebellion of the early sixties, the Jewish media found exponential opportunities to hasten America’s moral decline. Encouraging drugs and pornography it persuaded America that “free love” and living together outside of marriage were socially acceptable. With astonishing rapidity the movie, TV, and print media helped produce a generation of sexual libertines. By the end of the sixties, it hastened the sexual revolution to its next stage, homosexuality.

Now, more than 40 years later, even homosexuality has lost its attraction to many children and grandchildren of the hippie generation. Pedophilia (sex with little boys and girls along with child pornography) is the latest underground obsession sweeping America and the world.

Last fall, I alerted the nation to the power of the pedophile lobby in Congress; Sen. Edward Kennedy, long backed by homosexuals in support of the federal anti-hate bill, betrayed them to favor the evidently more powerful and rewarding pedophiles. (See “How Kennedy and His Pedophiles Weakened the Child Safety Bill“)

Rotten Roots

What kind of moral foundations do Jews of the media rest upon, that they could consciously ignite and fan the flames of a sexual inferno that continues to ravage our once Christian society?

Virtually all the media moguls who founded Hollywood and the big three TV networks were immigrants, or their children, from predominantly orthodox Jewish communities in Eastern Europe.

The Talmud is the holiest book in Judaism. They don’t even really red the Old Testament anymore.

In the late 19th century, most European Jews were a people of the book. But their book wasn’t the Bible. It was the Babylonian Talmud. To this day, the Talmud remains Judaism’s highest moral, ethical and legal authority.

Does the Talmud share Christianity’s foundation of wholesome moral values? Hardly. Instead, the Talmud is the sleazy substrata of a religious system gone terribly astray; it is that code of Pharisaic unbelief Christ described as “full of all uncleanness” (Matt. 23:27). Shockingly, Judaism’s most revered authority actually endorses such sins as lying, oath-breaking, and indirect murder. And it even sanctions one of the greatest sins of all: child molestation.

Three Year Old Brides

When Christ accused the Pharisees of His day of being Satan’s spiritual children, He fully realized what they were capable of. Second century Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai, one of Judaism’s very greatest rabbis and a creator of Kabbalah, sanctioned pedophilia—permitting molestation of baby girls even younger than three! He proclaimed, “A proselyte who is under the age of three years and a day is permitted to marry a priest.” ¹ Subsequent rabbis refer to ben Yohai’s endorsement of pedophilia as “halakah,” or binding Jewish law. ² Has ben Yohai, child rape advocate, been disowned by modern Jews? Hardly. Today, in ben Yohai’s hometown of Meron, Israel, tens of thousands of orthodox and ultra-orthodox Jews gather annually for days and nights of singing and dancing in his memory.

References to pedophilia abound in the Talmud. They occupy considerable sections of Treatises Kethuboth and Yebamoth and are enthusiastically endorsed by the Talmud’s definitive legal work, Treatise Sanhedrin.

The Pharisees Endorsed Child Sex

The rabbis of the Talmud are notorious for their legal hairsplitting, and quibbling debates. But they share rare agreement about their right to molest three year old girls. In contrast to many hotly debated issues, hardly a hint of dissent rises against the prevailing opinion (expressed in many clear passages) that pedophilia is not only normal but scriptural as well! It’s as if the rabbis have found an exalted truth whose majesty silences debate.

Because the Talmudic authorities who sanction pedophilia are so renowned, and because pedophilia as “halakah” is so explicitly emphasized, not even the translators of the Soncino edition of the Talmud (1936) dared insert a footnote suggesting the slightest criticism. They only comment: “Marriage, of course, was then at a far earlier age than now.” ³

In fact, footnote 5 to Sanhedrin 60b rejects the right of a Talmudic rabbi to disagree with ben Yohai’s endorsement of pedophilia: “How could they [the rabbis], contrary to the opinion of R. Simeon ben Yohai, which has scriptural support, forbid the marriage of the young proselyte?” ⁴

Out of Babylon

It was in Babylon after the exile under Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BC that Judaism’s leading sages probably began to indulge in pedophilia. Babylon was the staggeringly immoral capitol of the ancient world. For 1600 years, the world’s largest population of Jews flourished within it.

As an example of their evil, Babylonian priests said a man’s religious duty included regular sex with temple prostitutes. Bestiality was widely tolerated. So Babylonians hardly cared whether a rabbi married a three year old girl.

A temple prostitute of Babylon

But with expulsion of the Jews in the 11th century AD, mostly to western Christian lands, Gentile tolerance of Jewish pedophilia abruptly ended.

Still, a shocking contradiction lingers: If Jews want to revere the transcendent wisdom and moral guidance of the Pharisees and their Talmud, they must accept the right of their greatest ancient sages to violate children. To this hour, no synod of Judaism has repudiated their vile practice.

Sex with a “Minor” Permitted

What exactly did these sages say?

The Pharisees justified child rape by explaining that a boy of nine years was not a “man” (See, “Judaism and Homosexuality: A Marriage Made in Hell“) Thus they exempted him from God’s Mosaic Law: “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination” (Lev. 18:22) One passage in the Talmud gives permission for a woman who molested her young son to marry a high priest. It concludes, “All agree that the connection of a boy aged nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not.” ⁵ Because a boy under 9 is sexually immature, he can’t “throw guilt” on the active offender, morally or legally. ⁶

Presumably, the majority of little Jewish boys get raped before they are nine by Rabbis. They get caught doing this constantly. But nevermind that gojim – go exaggerate the crimes of the Catholic church.

A woman could molest a young boy without questions of morality even being raised: “…the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act.” ⁷ The Talmud also says, “A male aged nine years and a day who cohabits with his deceased brother’s wife acquires her (as wife).” ⁸ Clearly, the Talmud teaches that a woman is permitted to marry and have sex with a nine year old boy.

Sex at Three Years and One Day

In contrast to Simeon ben Yohai’s dictum that sex with a little girl is permitted under the age of three years, the general teaching of the Talmud is that the rabbi must wait until a day after her third birthday. She could be taken in marriage simply by the act of rape.

R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. (Sanh. 55b)

A girl who is three years of age and one day may be betrothed by cohabitation. . . .(Yeb. 57b)

A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabited with her she becomes his. (Sanh. 69a, 69b, also discussed in Yeb. 60b)

It was taught: R. Simeon b. Yohai stated: A proselyte who is under the age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest, for it is said, But all the women children that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves, and Phineas (who was priest, the footnote says) surely was with them. (Yeb. 60b)

[The Talmud says such three year and a day old girls are] . . . fit for cohabitation. . . But all women children, that have not known man by lying with him, it must be concluded that Scripture speaks of one who is fit for cohabitation. (Footnote to Yeb. 60b)

The example of Phineas, a priest, himself marrying an underage virgin of three years is considered by the Talmud as proof that such infants are “fit for cohabitation.”

The Talmud teaches that an adult woman’s molestation of a nine year old boy is “not a sexual act” and cannot “throw guilt” upon her because the little boy is not truly a “man.” ⁹ But they use opposite logic to sanction rape of little girls aged three years and one day: Such infants they count as “women,” sexually mature and fully responsible to comply with the requirements of marriage.

The Talmud footnotes 3 and 4 to Sanhedrin 55a clearly tell us when the rabbis considered a boy and girl sexually mature and thus ready for marriage. “At nine years a male attains sexual matureness… The sexual matureness of woman is reached at the age of three.”

No Rights for Child Victims

The Pharisees were hardly ignorant of the trauma felt by molested children. To complicate redress, the Talmud says a rape victim must wait until she was of age before there would be any possibility of restitution. She must prove that she lived and would live as a devoted Jewess, and she must protest the loss of her virginity on the very hour she comes of age. “As soon as she was of age one hour and did not protest she cannot protest any more.” ¹⁰

The Talmud defends these strict measures as necessary to forestall the possibility of a Gentile child bride rebelling against Judaism and spending the damages awarded to her as a heathen – an unthinkable blasphemy! But the rights of the little girl were really of no great consequence, for, “When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (three years and a day) it is as if one put the finger into the eye.” The footnote says that as “tears come to the eye again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.” ¹¹

In most cases, the Talmud affirms the innocence of male and female victims of pedophilia. Defenders of the Talmud claim this proves the Talmud’s amazing moral advancement and benevolence toward children; they say it contrasts favorably with “primitive” societies where the child would have been stoned along with the adult perpetrator.

Actually, the rabbis, from self-protection, were intent on proving the innocence of both parties involved in pedophilia: the child, but more importantly, the pedophile. They stripped a little boy of his right to “throw guilt” on his assailant and demanded complicity in sex from a little girl. By thus providing no significant moral or legal recourse for the child, the Talmud clearly reveals whose side it is on: the raping rabbi.

Pedophilia Widespread

Child rape was practiced in the highest circles of Judaism. This is illustrated from Yeb. 60b:

There was a certain town in the land of Israel the legitimacy of whose inhabitants was disputed, and Rabbi sent R. Romanos who conducted an inquiry and found in it the daughter of a proselyte who was under the age of three years and one day, and Rabbi declared her eligible to live with a priest.

The footnote says that she was “married to a priest” and the rabbi simply permitted her to live with her husband, thus upholding “halakah” as well as the dictum of Simeon ben Yohai, “A proselyte who is under the age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest.” ¹²

These child brides were expected to submit willingly to sex. Yeb. 12b confirms that under eleven years and one day a little girl is not permitted to use a contraceptive but “must carry on her marital intercourse in the usual manner.”

In Sanhedrin 76b a blessing is given to the man who marries off his children before they reach the age of puberty, with a contrasting curse on anyone who waits longer. In fact, failure to have married off one’s daughter by the time she is 12-1/2, the Talmud says, is as bad as one who “returns a lost article to a Cuthean” (Gentile) – a deed for which “the Lord will not spare him.” ¹³ This passage says: “… it is meritorious to marry off one’s children whilst minors.”

The mind reels at the damage to the untold numbers of girls who were sexually abused within Judaism during the heyday of pedophilia. Such child abuse, definitely practiced in the second century, continued, at least in Babylon, for another 900 years.

A Fascination with Sex

Perusing the Talmud, one is overwhelmed with the recurrent preoccupation with sex, especially by the most eminent rabbis. Dozens of illustrations could be presented to illustrate the delight of the Pharisees to discuss sex and quibble over its minutest details.

Jews are genetically driven to sexual perversion.

The rabbis endorsing child sex undoubtedly practiced what they preached. Yet to this hour, their words are revered. Simeon ben Yohai is honored by Orthodox Jews as one of the very greatest sages and spiritual lights the world has ever known. A member of the earliest “Tannaim,” rabbis most influential in creating the Talmud, he carries more authority to observant Jews than Moses.

Today, the Talmud’s outspoken pedophiles and child-rape advocates would doubtlessly spend hard time in prison for child molestation. Yet here is what the eminent Jewish scholar, Dagobert Runes (who is fully aware of all these passages), says about such “dirty old men” and their perverted teachings:

There is no truth whatever in Christian and other strictures against the Pharisees, who represented the finest traditions of their people and of human morals. ¹⁴

Aren’t Christ’s words more appropriate?

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. (Matthew 23:27, 28.)
