Babylonian Talmudic Baal Tax

Rv:18:19: 

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

What we have stumbled upon here is a Babylonian Talmudic Chabad Lubavitch Rabbi Jewish imposed exploitation tax on food which appears to have spread throughout the kitchen to non-food items so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products, and from there made its way to the laundry room so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products, and from there metastasized to the medicine cabinet so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products plus over-the-counter medications.


YTHE KOSHER FOOD TAXY
ALL CHRISTIANS MUST PAY


  The Kosher Food Tax is the biggest consumer fraud existing in America.Examine every item in your cupboards for either the (U) or (K) labels. These symbols represent a Jewish blessing and when these small symbols are detected, it means that you have unwittingly paid a tax to a Jewish religious group. They will not always be on the front of the package; they may be hidden amid the small print near the label's seam. This cryptic code has to do with a Hebrew secret, a heist, which illuminates the Jews' power in the United States. The circled U, sometimes with the word Parve, stands for Union of Orthodox Jews (UOJCA), the K stands for Kosher (KOV K). Both will not be found on the same package. These symbols mean that the product's producer paid the Jews a kind of tax to have some rabbi bless it. Don't confuse these letters with the letter R which stands for registered trade mark or a letter C which stands for copyright. These two letters will probably be there too. You have now discovered what the Jews call hechsers, a rip-off code found on most grocery items. In 1959, the Wall Street Journal estimated that this massive Jewish payola at about $20 million. That is almost forty years ago. Since that time, the Jewish owned Wall Street Journal has remained silent. The rip-off is thought to be in the hundreds of millions today.

  The Jewish Post of July 30, 1976 reported that Rabbi Harvey Sentor admitted that Kov K was a profit-making concern. The UOJCA extracts exactly the same levy as Kov K, and in exactly the same way. Jews, of course, defend these blessings in any way they can, but what this rip-off really boils down to for the Gentile is legalized extortion. After all, the Jews represent but 2.9% of the population. It is not an option for the Gentile to have this tax removed from products he buys or have the little Jewish letters erased. He has to pay this tax to the Jews whether he wants to or not. If this was nothing more than a bizarre religious ceremony, giving rabbinical approval to food and food products prepared in a specific way to meet an unusual diet, then why are steel wool and kitchen utensils also included? The Jews have a strange diet indeed! If these blessings are so important to Jews, why do they charge for them? You would think that they would be willing to give this service free for benefit of their own people and perhaps pay something to food product companies for providing this Kosher identification. Instead, it's the reverse- companies have to pay to have the Kosher identification. Since Jews represent a small percent of America's population, why is it that they place most of the burden of this tax on the shoulders of the Gentile? Why have the Gentile consumers been so silent for so long about this perennial extortion by the Jews? And since this burden comes off as a tax, don't Gentiles have a right to know where and how this money is spent? How on earth do the Jews get away with this daylight robbery? The answer is that the Jewish blessing agencies wield enormous power through Jewish domination of the retail and distribution trades..and Jews own America's press. Non-compliance by a food producer would quickly bring about a Jewish boycott of the product. Bankruptcy! Here is how this clever scheme works. An Orthodox Rabbi will approach a company and warn the owners that unless their product is certified as Kosher, or fit for a Jew to eat , they will face a boycott by every Jew in America. Once they succumb to this BLACKMAIL, they are required to keep the total amount paid the Rabbis every year a strict secret! The growth of this Kosher racket has been nothing less than phenomenal. In 1960, only 225 food products paid the Kosher tax. By 1966, this figure grew to 476 and jumped to 1000 by 1974. Today, a whopping 17,500 companies have been intimidated into paying this multi-level tax.

[How The Kosher Tax Operates]  The Union of Orthodox Rabbis which issues the (U) symbol controls 80% of the Kosher certification business. They employ some 300 Rabbis who travel nation-wide inspecting food processing plants. First, the company must pay an annual fee for the use of the copyright symbol the (U) or (K) or a version thereof. Second, the company must pay a separate heavy fee each time a team of Rabbis shows up to inspect their plant (Certain meat packers are required to hire Rabbis full time at extravagant salaries). Third, the company must pay these fees over and over again for each different product they make. Thus, General Foods pays dozens of separate fees. Also, each sub-contracting company which provides any type of ingredient which goes into the finished product must also pay separate fees to the visiting Rabbis . Sometimes a single product may eventually be taxed as many as a dozen times right down the line before it reaches you the consumer! Last, but not least, these fees must be paid annually and they are increased each year. Only by increasing the public awareness of the Kosher Food Tax and doing our best to refrain from purchasing products with the K or U symbols, can we begin to end this outrage being perpetrated upon our people. With the purchasing power of the dollar less all the time, we cannot afford this outrage to continue unchecked.

 

Excerpt from the

"Protocols of the Learned Mystical Elders of the Chabad Lubavitch, sons of the synagogue of Satan"

Known otherwise as 

Learned Elders of Zion

16. At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier- dictators of the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.

Who will challenge their illegal exploitation of America? The robbers of the people of God the Most High.

11. The second secret requisite for the success of our government is comprised in the following: To multiply to such an extent national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair. THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by millions of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the GOYIM communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain which results from freedom of actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE "GOYIM" THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE WORLD AND TO FORM A SUPER-GOVERNMENT (One World Order). In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of the world.

And remember the Public Law already exist in which you will be beheaded if you do not bow down to the coming Judaic Olam Ha Ba "The World to Come".

 6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.

7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we shall bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed among the GOYIM, that greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing up everything. We shall raise the rate of wages, which however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the same time,we shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life,Alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and AND CATTLE-BREEDING: 

Mad Cow diseases, etc.

1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.

Homeland Security

3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.

The Persians and the Medes will stir up the realm against the Grecians (West)

2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic government will avoid, from a principle of self-preservation, sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes, remembering that it plays the part of father and protector. But as State organization cost dear it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. It will, therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in this matter.

While the cattle slumber, they build their World Order, and will soon usher in the Moshiach ben Satan. The son of Satan, the son of Perdition.

NO CERTIFICATION NEEDED

Some products do not require certification or for some reason do not contain a mark even though they are considered kosher by competent Orthodox authorities.  SOME of these are:

The Jewish "rationale" of the "Divine Will" is not accepted by the
general American public. There is no scientific evidence that kosher
food offers any benefit to health. State inspectors not rabbis have
the authority to determine the hygiene of all food establishments.
"Keeping kosher" is an archaic, strictly Jewish dietary law, a religious
requirement. It involves much more than just buying items certified as
kosher. The system is very complicated, often requiring the advice of a
rabbi. The imposition on the American consumer, by the small Jewish
minority, of kosher certification is a scheme to extort millions of
dollars and is a violation of Constitutional provision of the Separation
of Church and State.


"in the U.S., every nonJewish consumer and every secular Jew IS
FORCED to pay more for his food because often there is no choice as no
items are available without the imposed kosher certification".

FURTHERMORE - Already burdened by the cumbersome financial and ritual
obligations imposed by authoritarian rabbis, U.S. farmers face the
spectre of being forced to keep their fields fallow. Having no income
one year out of every seven would cause economic catastrophe for all
U.S. farmers. If this conclusion seems too far fetched, remember that
the U.S. Congress, voted the Noahide Laws as Public Law 102-14 to impose
these laws upon the citizens of the United States. Depending on both
interpretation and enforcement there should be concern that the U.S.
Constitution could be abrogated. Last time voted upon by the 103d
Congress (1994), these laws were adopted to honor Rabbbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, a high profile leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement.

see www.samliquidation.com/president.htm

("… Some Lubavitcher Jews hold that the seventh Rebbe, Menachem Mendel
Schneersohn, who died in 1994, is the Messiah and will make a second
coming. … The sixth Rebbe, Joseph Schneersohn, was father-in-law of
Mendel, and had succeeded to the title of Rebbe after the death of his
father in 1920. … The tradition of the Lubavitcher Jews, now a highly
influential political group in Israel and New York, relates that the
Rebbe, their dynastic leader, was rescued by a German Jewish soldier. …
When the Nazis invaded Poland in September 1939, … Rebbe Joseph
Schneersohn was trapped in Warsaw. … [W]hen Lubavitcher Jews in America
heard that their revered leader was trapped in Warsaw, they petitioned
help from the US Secretary of State , Cordel Hull. … Admiral Wilhelm
Canaris, the head of … the German military intelligence … sent a group
of his men to Warsaw … found the Rebbe and his followers, brought them
through Germany and helped them to escape via Latvia to safety in
America. … A German Jew who had served in the First World War and wore a
uniform covered with medals, helped the Rebbe and his family escape. …
Jewish army officer in the Rebbe’s escape [was] Lt. Col. Dr. Ernst
Bloch, one of the 77 high-ranking [Jewish] officers [in Hitler’s Army] …
" [among the 77 was Field Marshall Erhard Milch, Helmut Wilberg, the
architect of the concept of Blitzkrieg, Edgar Jacobson a propaganda
maker] (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, December 2, 1996 "Jews who wore a Nazi

Jewish Tax: What I Found in my Pantry
What we have stumbled upon here is a Jewish tax on food which appears to have spread throughout the kitchen to non-food items so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products, and from there made its way to the laundry room so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products, and from there metastacized to the medicine cabinet so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products plus over-the-counter medications.

What I Found in my Pantry

One hundred fifty six discoveries
I made by reading product labels


Had someone asked me a few days before 14-Dec-1999 how many products I had in my house that bore a kosher label, I would have said none.  At around that time, however, I learned something about kosher labelling, and actually made a count, and was astounded to discover that my count reached 90.  Yes, to my amazement, my initial screening revealed that I had in my possession 90 different products that bore a kosher label.

In the days following, I located more kosher-labelled products lying hidden throughout my house, or sometimes just the container that had been conscripted for other use.  Wittingly or unwittingly, I purchased many more as well.  Two were purchased by family members in Ontario.  In three cases, the item was not purchased: (1) a free sample of Tide laundry detergent was left on my doorstep, (2) a package of almonds was handed to a family member on an airplane, and (3) a potato chip bag was thrown, or blew, onto my lawn.  Well, OK, it had blown across my lawn and was actually just over the line on my neighbor's property stuck in his hedge when I found it — but it had a label that I had never seen before (turned out to be Winnipeg Kosher) and I had to have it for my collection.  Anyway, with such additions, all but three being purchases for family use, the total was brought up to 156 on 21-Apr-2000:

Date
Count
12-Apr-2000 152
20-Apr-2000 155
21-Apr-2000 156

That is 156 different products, mostly purchased, and as any product could have been purchased many times, with some being purchased a great many times, then the total number of purchases of kosher-labelled products was much higher than 156, conceivably in excess of one thousand, but I cannot say with any accuracy as I did not keep track.  And although the discovery of previously-undocumented kosher-certified products clearly levels off over time, purchase of kosher-certified products both previously documented and previously undocumented continues high.

In retrospect, I can see that a more thorough study of the nature of my kosher purchasing would have recorded the date of purchase of every kosher product, whether the brand was one that had been purchased previously or not, and would have recorded the price of each purchase as well.  Some interesting graphs could have been drawn.

And it is possible also that a more dedicated monitoring on my part would have yielded a higher total of different products purchased — the dedication manifesting itself in more dependably checking packaging for a kosher label before throwing it out, and in more tenaciously hunting down the meaning of presently-unrecognized symbols, as for example the "10" enclosed inside a circle which appears on a can of Campbell's tomato soup — I emailed Campbell Soups six times, and sent a hard-copy letter once, enquiring whether this signified kosher certification, but have not yet had my question answered, and so for the time being I do not count Campbell's tomato soup as being kosher-certified:

Campbell's Tomato Soup Campbell's Tomato Soup

As the smallest change in ingredients or in the manner of processing requires an independent rabbinical review and an independent certification of kosher, any variation by a producer is considered to constitute a different product — to consider just three examples, Astro Strawberry Yogurt is considered to be a different product from Astro Raspberry Yogurt, and different even from Astro Strawberries and Cream Yogurt; or Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil is considered to be a different product from Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil; or Kraft Unsweetened and Unsalted Peanut Butter is different from Kraft Light and Smooth Peanut Butter, which is different from Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter, which is different from Kraft Crunchy Peanut Butter.

The case of Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream proved unique in that it appeared to receive certification from two different kosher-accreditation agencies, the Council of Orthodox Rabbis (COR, Toronto) and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations (OU, New York).  Although the label for this product is shown under both categories below, it is counted only once, in the COR category.

Thus, with my participating in the purchase and consumption of the 156 kosher-certified products (in let us say approximately one thousand purchases) documented below in about four months, there can be little doubt that I am a solid member of the club of 8.5 million kosher consumers alluded to below — but if most of these kosher consumers are, like me, either unwitting or unwilling, what does this tell us about the legitimacy of the kosher-certification business, and what does it forebode for its longevity?

For 1998 the Kosher market was estimated to be 8.5 million Kosher consumers who spent $3.5 billion annually on Kosher food.  In general, $45 billion was spent on kosher products in the year of 1998. Sales of Kosher food have been increasing at a yearly rate of 13-15 percent since 1992.
From the Orthodox Union (OU) webs site at: http://www.ou.org/kosher/kosherqa/food.htm

But why such modesty from the kosher business?  In view of the pervasiveness of kosher-certified products, almost every Canadian and American must consume them, such that the number of "kosher consumers" in Canada and the United States in reality cannot be a mere 8.5 million, but could readily exceed 200 million.  Another way of viewing the phenomenon, of course, is that the number of consumers paying the Jewish kosher tax in Canada and the United States, almost all of them unwittingly, exceeds 200 million.

In any case, the main kosher symbols that I found in my possession and whose origins I was able to ascertain, rank ordered from most to least frequent, were the following:

Details concerning kosher labelling


Kraft Peanut Butter, Unsweetened, Montreal Kosher Casbah, CousCous, OK  
PAREVE or PARVE (from the Yiddish, parev) accompanying a kosher symbol signifies that the product is made without milk, meat, or derivatives of milk or meat, and therefore safe to eat under all circumstances for the kosher-keeping Jew.


Cascade Dishwasher Detergent, OU  
P stands for Passover, and indicates that the product is considered kosher throughout the year, particularly during Passover at which time more restrictive standards must be met.


Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Montreal Kosher Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream, counted by the Ukrainian Archive only under COR 95D, but certified by OU as well  
DAIRY or D or the French LAIT accompanying a kosher symbol indicates that the product contains a milk derivative, so that although it may safely be eaten alone, it may not be eaten together with meat, which combination happens to be prohibited by Jewish law.


Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk, Montreal Kosher  
NOT CHOLOV YISROEL or NON CHOLEV YISROEL or the French PAS CHOLOV YISROEL accompanying a kosher symbol signifies that although the milk product in question is considered to be kosher, in fact there was no Jewish supervision of the milk-production process.  Had the milk been produced on the farm of an observant Jew, or had the milk been produced on a non-Jewish farm but under Jewish supervision, then the milk would be considered to be Cholov Yisroel.  Thus, for a milk product to be labelled kosher and yet not cholov yisroel constitutes a partial or qualified certification of kosher, which the producer could turn into a complete and unqualified certification upon the hiring of Jewish supervisors.

It follows that if a product is labelled Cholov Yisroel or Not Cholov Israel, it must contain milk, even if the words Dairy or Lait or the letter D are missing.  In the box below is reproduced an excerpt from a longer discussion of Cholov Yisroel that can be found on the Star-K web site which can be accessed by clicking the Star-K logo below:

Cholov Yisroel: Does a Neshama Good
Rabbi Moshe Heinemann, Rabbinic Administrator

[...]

It was common practice among farmers to mix milk of various species together, unbeknownst to their customers.  Since it was conceivable to have a farm mixture of Kosher and non-Kosher milk, our Rabbis issued an injunction several thousand years ago, against the use of Cholov Akum, milk from a non-Jewish farmer.  This restriction did not apply if there was supervision of the farmer by a Yehudi during the milking.  The Rabbis ruled that unsupervised milk may not be used, even though most of the milk available in the area came from Kosher species and the likelihood of tampering was slim.

Our Rabbis stipulated that in order to ensure that the milk of an Akum is Kosher, a Yehudi must be present from the milking until the bottling.  The Yehudi must be able to identify that the milk production has not been compromised, or that the milk has not been adulterated.  The supervisor must be a G-d fearing Jew in his personal activities so that his credibility regarding Kashrus issues is beyond reproach.  Milk produced under the auspices of this Mashgiach is called Cholov Yisroel.

[...]



However, other writers leave the impression that government supervision alone is sufficient to qualify milk as Cholov Yisroel.  The more complete discussion from which the excerpt below is taken can be accessed by clicking on the logo.  "OU," by the way, stands for "Union of Organized Jewish Congregations."

External link to Union of Organized Jewish Congregations web site

[...]

DAIRY PRODUCTS

A. Cholov Yisroel:

A Rabbinic law requires that there be supervision during the milking process to ensure that the source of the milk is from a kosher animal.  Following the opinion of many rabbinic authorities, OU policy considers that in the United States, the Department of Agriculture's regulations and controls are sufficiently stringent to ensure that only cow's milk is sold commercially.  These Government requirements fulfill the Rabbinical requirement for supervision.

[...]



No Name Pink Salmon, BCK, purchased in Ontario Gold Seal Sockeye Salmon, OU   BISHUL YISROEL accompanying a kosher label signifies that Jews participated in the production of a food item, and so of course NON BISHUL YISROEL signifies that there is no guarantee that Jews so participated.  Non Bishul Yisroel, therefore, is the second instance that we have seen of a partial or qualified certification of kosher, with the hiring of Jewish employees being required to make the kosher certification complete and unqualified.

It is a curiousity (which happens not be be manifested in the collection of kosher labels below) that a food product can be Bishul Yisroel (produced with the participation of Jews) and yet not be kosher.

We can imagine that the analogous certification in the hands of other groups might lead to supermarket attestations such as "Genuine Italians participated in the making of this pizza" or "Pure Germans were employed in the production of this strudel" or "Certified Chinese contributed toward the creation of this chop suey" or "Some real Ukrainians helped make these perogies."  Reading the excerpt below, furthermore, calls to mind that if other groups followed the Jewish lead, then we might see Germans prohibited from eating any food produced by non-Germans, and the same for Italians, Chinese, and Ukrainians:

External link to Union or Orthodox Jewish Congregations web site

[...]

No Jew — S'faradi or Ashkenazi is allowed to eat a food product that is produced by BISHUL ACU"M (food cooked exclusively by a non-Jew).  The OU does not certify any product that has a BISHUL ACU"M problem.  Exactly what foods fall under the ban of BISHUL ACU"M and what constitutes BISHUL YISRAEL when required are complex issues.  Food that can be eaten raw, may be cooked by a non-Jew and is not subject to the ban on BISHUL ACU"M.  Nor is a product that requires further cooking.  Nor is a food that does not "go onto the table of kings."  These exemptions from the ban on BISHUL ACU"M are the same for S'faradim and Ashkenazim.  (There is somethings a dispute among poskim as to what does and does not go onto the table of kings, but that's another story.)

Where Ashkenazim and S'faradim differ in this issue is concerning what a Jew has to do in order for the food to be BISHUL YISRAEL.  Ashkenazim follow the RAMA who says that if a Jew does ANYTHING in the processing — lights the fire or turns on the machinery, for example — then the product is considered BISHUL YISRAEL and is permitted.  S'faradim follow the M'CHABER (Rav Yosef Caro) who requires a Jew to actually put the food on the fire (or into the machines) in order for there not to be a BISHUL ACU"M.

Longer lists of kosher-accreditation agency logos

The kosher-accreditation agency logos in the table higher above are not an attempt to be exhaustive; they are only symbols on products consumed by my family.  More extensive collections of kosher-accreditation agency logos can be found at several web locations, among them:

Kosher Mall
World Wide Kashruth Authorities Listing
Kosherfest-On-Line
American-Asian Kashrus Services

How many such kosher-accreditation agencies might exist in the whole world? — Obviously, hundreds.  The National Council of Young Israel web site estimates over 200 for the USA alone: "Furthermore, it has become very difficult for both Rabbis and laymen to track and judge the reliability of the over 200 Kashruth symbols appearing on many products distributed nationally."

Don't mistake the following for kosher symbols

It must be cautioned that common symbols on packaging that are unrelated to kosher labelling are © for Copyright, and ® for Registered Trade MarkTM is also sometimes used for Trade Mark.  In French, Trade Mark is most often expressed as MD, Marque Déposée, and occasionally as MC, Marque de Commerce.  In one case, in the midst of French text, I came across a D inside a circle so as to lead me to believe that this had been introduced as a symbol for Marque Déposée corresponding to the English ®.

Examples of other symbols that do not indicate kosher certification are shown below. On the left below is a symbol which I found prominently displayed on a Lipton Chicken OXO box — it turned out to be issued by the Government of Canada and means that the product contains at least 3% meat or poultry, and that this meat or poultry comes from government-inspected producers.  The 52 is an identification number issued by the Government of Canada to the Lipton Company.  In the middle below is a 4015 enclosed in a rectangle with its corners cut off — this was found on a Dairyworld Foods, Fraser Valley, Unsalted Creamery Butter along with two other numbers similarly displayed, the three together designating "manufacturing plant numbers."  As a final example of the sort of symbols that are likely to be encountered on home-product packaging, and that are not kosher symbols, is the P2919 on the right below, found on a Dairyworld Foods, Dairyland 2% milk carton, and which is a "panel number that the carton manufacturer places there for reference."

Not a kosher symbol, on Lipton OXO     Not a kosher symbol, on     Not a kosher symbol, on

Although the trade mark symbols invariably appear in close proximity to the brand name of the product, or sometimes tied to the brand name by means of an asterisk, other non-kosher symbols can appear anywhere on the product packaging.  Kosher symbols too are not closely tied to the brand name, sometimes appearing near the brand name, but at other times being placed in less conspicuous spots, perhaps on the back of the package, or in the case of Heinz ketchup and Heinz chili sauce, the "COR 10" kosher symbol appears not on the main label at all, but only on the neck of the bottle.  In the case of the Lactaid Lactase Enzyme, the COR 214 appeared on the box and on the loose explanatory sheet inside the box, but not on the plastic bottle which actually contained the tablets, such that if one threw away both box and explanatory sheet, as might be done with a familiar product, then a later examination of the bottle alone would give no indication that it had been kosher-certified.

Surprising variety of kosher products

Of particular interest among the edible items below are those that one would not normally think of as being susceptible to kosher labelling, such as chocolate chips, tea, coffee, cacao, flour, oats, raisins, horse radish, frozen orange juice, cinnamon sticks, corn starch, olive oil, molasses, mustard, caraway seeds, vinegar, sugar, salt, lactase enzyme, and a calcium+vitamins supplement.  And of still greater interest is kosher labels bestowed on products that are not even edible, such as plastic baggies, food-wrap film, dishwasher detergent, scouring pads, and aluminum foil.  Of the very greatest interest is kosher labels appearing on products which are not applied to food and not used in the kitchen or the dining room, such as laundry detergent and laundry bleach.  The possibility that manufacturers have been duped into purchasing kosher labelling for products that do not require it is broached in my letter of 13Apr2000 to Moshe Ronen, National President of the Canadian Jewish Congress.

All this costs — but how much?

In my education in kosher labelling, I next discovered that these many kosher labels do not come free.  They do not even come cheap.  They come expensive.  As one piece of evidence to this effect — more evidence will be added as resources permit — please read about the Jewish steel tax as described in Newsweek magazine.

Jewish taxation without Gentile representation

A hypothesis that readily springs to mind from the above revelations is that what we have stumbled upon here is a Jewish tax on food which appears to have spread throughout the kitchen to non-food items so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products, and from there made its way to the laundry room so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products, and from there metastacized to the medicine cabinet so as to become a Jewish tax on food plus kitchen products plus laundry products plus over-the-counter medications.  And the question that the above revelations urgently presses upon consciousness is how much this Jewish tax — if it may be so described — costs the average Canadian household each year.  Ten dollars?  A hundred dollars?  What?  Why don't we know?  Why is there no way to find out?  Why isn't this a matter of public record?

Paying for the bullet with which you are executed


A word on format

Below, the image containing the brand name has been scaled so as to be about 175 pixels high.  To its right, typically scaled to 75 pixels high, appears the kosher symbol usually found somewhere in the vicinity of the brand name.  In cases where the kosher symbol did not appear near the brand name, I show the kosher symbol along with a chunk of the environment in which it was discovered.  In cases where the kosher symbol within the 175-pixel-high image is at least 75 pixels high, it is not reproduced separately in a 75-pixel-high image.

A viewer inspecting the images below using a screen resolution lower than 1034x768 will find that the row order of images is not maintained, with images being moved to the next line which were intended to stay on the same line — which makes for slightly messier viewing, but is otherwise not critical.

Are you financing the Babylonian Talmudic Mystical Judaic Pharisaic Sanhedrin of Baal, the funds used which will eventually behead you, if you worship Jesus Christ the Lord, over all, under the Public Law 102-14 in the coming Olam Ha Ba of their Moshiach ben Lucifer?

 

Of course the B'nai Berith, ADL defends the Kosher tax with that same old illogical cry, Anti-Semiticism. Most wannabe, think they are, Christians. Do not realize the greatest deception of Judaism, which calls Jesus Christ a bastard child of a whore in the Satanic Babylonian Talmud.

ADL Special Edition, January 1991
A periodic update from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith
Civil Rights Division

"The Kosher Food Tax is the biggest consumer fraud existing in America."

The bizarre claim by right wing extremists that kosher certification markings on food labels ("U," "K," etc.) cost consumers extra money and represent, in effect, a "kosher tax" to make rabbis rich, is a striking example of the propaganda used by anti-Semites to trick the uninformed into accepting conspiracy charges and stereotypes about Jews.

That's right folks, if you object, then you have become a hate monger and that deceptive cry against  anti-Christ, that you are anti-Semite. Soon, any, who object to the anti-Christ which are ruling Congress will become criminals under the coming hate crime laws of Satan, which will make any who object the enemy. 

Other anti-Semitic allegations regarding kosher designation on foods include charges that "the kosher food racket" benefits Jewish organizations while only a small segment of the American population desires such markings, and that even the meanings of the labels are guarded secrets deliberately kept from non-Jews to trick them into paying the "kosher tax."

The Facts

The Lies

We may lie and cheat Gentiles. In the Talmud it says:

It is permitted for Jews to cheat Gentiles. All lies are good.

And furthermore it is written:

It is forbidden for a Jew to cheat his brother. To cheat a Gentile is permitted.

 

Attacks on the labeling of food with the symbols for kashruth (traditional Jewish dietary laws) have been a standard ploy of anti-Jewish bigots in the U.S. for decades. Such symbols as [encircled U], emblem of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations (UOJC), among others, confirm that products are kosher -- i.e., that foods and production processes have been inspected by competent rabbis from the respective organizations and found to be in compliance with Jewish dietary law.

No mention of the dietary law of the rest of mankind, such as the dietary of Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, etc......

The cost to the consumer for this service is a miniscule fraction of the total production overhead; it is so negligible in practical terms as to be virtually non-existent. A May 18, 1975 New York Times article reported that the cost to General Foods' "Bird's Eye" Unit, for example, is 6.5 millionths (.0000065) of a cent per item. Furthermore, a representative of the Heinz Company has said that the per item cost is "so small we can't even calculate it," and that such labeling actually makes products less costly by increasing the market for them.

Ha! Ha! justify it by only a fraction. Just what does this fraction add up to if only, Germany, France, the entire E.U, Russia and the United States pay multiplied by several billion people multiplied by billions of products purchased daily? Nice try, anti-Christ.

Indeed, according to marketing manager Steven Zamichow, quoted in the Washington Post, "Entenmann's Inc. received kosher certification in 1981 and sales of [its] baked goods 'increased substantially.'" Visits to the Entenmann's plant, from a "mashgiach," or kashruth inspector, are provided by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. The UOJC is one of several groups that maintain such a kosher inspection service, certifying foods and related products to be in compliance with Jewish dietary laws through all phases of production. The profit from these products goes, of course, to the companies that manufacture them and the stores that sell them, not to "the Jews."*

The Lies

The most active right wing extremist (their reference word for Christians)sources of the "kosher tax" hoax are various Ku Klux Klan groups and the National States Rights Party, based in Marietta, GA. The Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (now based in North Carolina), through its Empire Publishing, offers a pamphlet titled "The Kosher Tax Swindle" to its members and supporters. The pamphlet begins:

Remember brain washed Judeo-Churchians, that they will paint a picture that any who oppose them belong to hate groups such as the KKK.

"American families are paying tribute to Jews every time they sit down at the table to eat and in many instances, polish their shoes, silver or wrap the leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Why? Because Jews have discovered a way to coerce business to pay taxes directly to Jewish organizations and pass the cost on to the consumer."

The racist and anti-Semitic National States Rights Party ( NSRP), founded in 1958, became a focal point of violent opposition to civil rights struggle in the South and has functioned as both a propaganda mill and a political party.

See how they focus the attention of the tax on to another subject! They are expert at this Orwellian Tactic

The party's founder, Edward Fields, has served as its National Secretary, as well as the editor of the party's hate sheet, "The Truth At Last" (formerly "The Thunderbolt"). Fields was also the Grand Dragon of the now-defunct New Order, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

"The Truth At Last" published a special issue in June 1990 which dealt only with kosher symbols. Articles appeared in this edition with such titles as: "Six States Make Rabbis Kosher Policeman [sic]," "Secret Kosher Tax Boosts Food Prices," "How Kosher Blackmail Works," and "Kosher Tax Symbols May Be Changed to Hide Swindle."

"Describing" kashruth, Fields has written that "All of this is superstitious nonsense and has absolutely nothing to do with improving the quality of any food product. Still, this clever scheme of requiring kosher labeling has become a multi-million dollar business today!" Another article in "The Truth At Last" asserted that the "kosher tax" is paid to Orthodox Jewish organizations "just so an estimated 10% to 20% of Jewry will buy their products," and that "we are all forced to pay this Kosher Tax just to appease LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION!"

Bigotry Over a Beer Label

With the recent announcement that the Adolph Coors Brewing Co. will carry the [encircled U] symbol on its beer, Hans Schmidt, founder of the California-based German-American National Political Action Committee (GANPAC) took it upon himself to write a protest letter to Peter Coors, President of the company.

Schmidt, who was a member of the Hitler Youth and claims to have served in the Waffen-SS during World War II, has been a leading proponent of Holocaust "revisionism" in the United States for many years. Following along the lines of many other anti-Semites, Schmidt promotes the myth of "Jewish control" of banks, the media, and the government.

When you discover these things to be true, then of course you will be associated to such hate inciters too!

In his letter to Peter Coors, Schmidt asserted that "as someone of German descent you ought to be ashamed to acquiesce to this scheme. You must know that the Jews in the aggregate use a lot of the finances thus gathered to spy on non-Jews, to terrorize others (JDL), to ruin other people's businesses (numberous Jewish organizations and individuals), and to promote their political power to the point where this country has been subservient to the needs of another nation (Israel)."

Esth:8:17: 

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

Esth:9:2: 

The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

 

Schmidt also repeated the usual false charges regarding kosher symbols, including that "there usually are great costs and efforts connected with the kosher certification and that rabbis will make upwards of $450,000 from Coors." In a post-script Schmidt made the suggestion that Coors add the following symbols to its label: "a symbolic fish for Protestants," "a Catholic cross for Catholics," and "a Swastika for Nordics/Odinists."

Beating the "Tax"

Some extremists call for a boycott of foods and companies that succumb to the "kosher conspiracy." For example, in an April 25, 1990 newsletter published by the Populist Party, a far-right  (Christian Believers) political group, chairperson Monica Rorhig states: "God knows we are taxed enough already without volunteering to tithe to a foreign country and a foreign philosophy. It's a kick to walk out of a grocery store knowing you have successfully evaded this illegal tax." Ms. Rorhig explains that through such means as this alleged tax, "we (as a nation) are being carefully herded closer and closer to International totalitarian tyranny." Pamphlets, in groups of 5-100, are offered through this newsletter for Populist Party members to circulate and spread the warning against this "unfair taxing."

"You Don't Have to be Jewish..."

Contrary to the anti-Semitic charge that kosher labeling is a tightly guarded "Jewish secret" kept from Christians and others, it is not only Jews who prefer to purchase kosher food. According to the Washington Post (Sept. 27, 1990), "Some kosher marketing officials estimate there may be as many as six million Americans who seek out Kosher foods in the supermarket. Of these only 1.5 million are Jewish. Moslems and Seventh Day Adventists also adhere to certain aspects of the Jewish dietary laws, but the bulk of Kosher shoppers appear to be consumers who believe the Kosher certification...means higher quality food."

Anti-Semitic * Term used by the sons of the synagogue of Satan for, One who opposes Satan's Lies and anti-Christ deceptions.

Yet whether or not they choose to purchase kosher food products, most Americans will reject the bigotry inherent in the "Kosher Tax" propaganda, recognizing it as another effort by extremists to exploit legitimate public concerns (e.g. taxes, the economy, etc.) as vehicles for anti-Semitism.

*In the separate case of kosher meat and poultry purchased at kosher butcher shops (as distinguished from the broad general range of mass-market consumer goods certified kosher), the consumer does pay a higher price. This cost is due to the more intensive, continuous rabbinical supervision required for the exacting technicalities of kosher slaughter and inspection, processing, storage and quality of kosher meat -- an inescapable necessity for this particular product, applicable only to its limited market, not the general consumer.

 

Rabbinical Kosher for Jews

Halakah meaning "fence" is the authorized compilation of Talmudic instructions as given by our sages. It was written to help people avoid breaking the Torah, to know how to apply things in the Torah which were unclear, clarify instructions which left room for question, etc.. If a Jew is attempting to keep Halakah he/she will never come close to breaking Torah in the areas where Halakah is being observed. This is why Halakah seems so stringent.

According to the Talmudic authors, we should not even mix the dishes in which dairy products are served and those which are used for meat. This comes from the command "do not seethe the kid in its mother’s milk." In today’s American society it would be almost impossible to cook with milk from the mother of a calf, because of the way meat and dairy are processed. Just to make sure that the command is not in any way broken, laws were given to insure compliance. In strict observance of Halakah, many Jewish homes have two refrigerators, two sets of cookware, and two sets of dishes. One is for milchik (dairy products), the other is for meat.

Regarding eating out, if you think being Torah observant is difficult, try rabbinical kosher. First of all, the restaurant cannot even serve trayf of any kind (i.e. pork, shrimp, catfish, shellfish, rabbit, frogs and other unclean products, or clean meats which have not been properly slaughtered) from the same kitchen. Milchik (dairy) products may not be used in cooking or served where meat is served. All baked products must be parv certified (neither milk or meat products used in baking). The kitchen must be certified as kosher by a qualified rabbi and the fires used in cooking must be lit (at least the pilots) by the rabbi, each day cooking is done, to insure the complete process is being followed. All products being received must be from authorized, rabbinically supervised sources. The rabbi must be present to receive shipments of supplies. And this is only the final step in having a Kosher restaurant. Obtaining sources for food products which are properly supervised can be difficu
