The social media company formerly known as Twitter has been accused in a revised civil US lawsuit of helping Saudi Arabia commit grave human rights abuses against its users, including by disclosing confidential user data at the request of Saudi authorities at a much higher rate than it has for the US, UK or Canada.

The lawsuit was brought last May against X, as Twitter is now known, by Areej al-Sadhan, the sister of a Saudi aid worker who was forcibly disappeared and then later sentenced to 20 years in jail.

It centers on the events surrounding the infiltration of the California company by three Saudi agents, two of whom were posing as Twitter employees in 2014 and 2015, which ultimately led to the arrest of al-Sadhan’s brother, Abdulrahman, and the exposure of the identity of thousands of anonymous Twitter users, some of whom were later reportedly detained and tortured as part of the government’s crackdown on dissent.

Lawyers for Al-Sadhan updated their claim last week to include new allegations about how Twitter, under the leadership of then chief executive Jack Dorsey, willfully ignored or had knowledge of the Saudi government’s campaign to ferret out critics but – because of financial considerations and efforts to keep close ties to the Saudi government, a top investor in the company – provided assistance to the kingdom.

The new lawsuit details how X had originally been seen seen as a critical vehicle for democratic movements during the Arab spring, and therefore became a source of concern for the Saudi government as early as 2013.

The new legal filing comes days after Human Rights Watch condemned a Saudi court for sentencing a man to death based solely on his Twitter and YouTube activity, which it called an “escalation” of the government’s crackdown on freedom of expression.

The convicted man, Muhammad al-Ghamdi, 54, is the brother of a Saudi scholar and government critic living in exile in the UK. Saudi court records examined by HRW showed that al-Ghamdi was accused of having two accounts, which had a total of 10 followers combined. Both accounts had fewer than 1,000 tweets combined, and contained retweets of well-known critics of the government.

The Saudi crackdown can be traced back to December 2014, as Ahmad Abouammo – who was later convicted in the US for secretly acting as a Saudi agent and lying to the FBI – began accessing and sending confidential user data to Saudi Arabian officials. In the new lawsuit, it is claimed that he sent a message to Saud al-Qahtani, a close aide to Mohammed bin Salman, via the social media company’s messaging system, saying “proactively and reactively we will delete evil, my brother”. It was a reference, the lawsuit claims, to the identification and harming of perceived Saudi dissidents who were using the platform. Al-Qahtani was later accused by the US of being a mastermind behind the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

“Twitter was either aware of this message – brazenly sent on its own platform – or was deliberately ignorant to it,” the revised lawsuit states.

Twitter, now X, does not respond to questions from the press.

The Guardian contacted the company lawyer in the case, Ben Berkowitz of Keker, Van Nest & Peters, but did not receive a response. The Guardian also contacted Dorsey’s new company, Block, Inc, to request a comment from the former Twitter chief executive, but did not receive a response.

After Abouammo resigned in May 2015, he continued to contact Twitter to field requests he was receiving from Bader al-Asaker, a senior aide of Mohammed bin Salman, for the identity of confidential users. He made clear to the company, the lawsuit alleges, that the requests were on behalf of his “old partners in the Saudi government”.

The lawsuit also alleges that Twitter had “ample notice” of security risks to internal personal data, and that there was a threat of insiders illegally accessing it, based on public reporting at the time.

Twitter “did not simply ignore all these red flags … it was aware of the malign campaign”, the lawsuit claims.

On 28 September 2015, Twitter received a complaint from a Saudi user that their accounts had been compromised. But, the lawsuit alleges, the company did not act to bar one of the Saudis who was later accused – Ali Hamad Alzabarah – from having access to confidential user data, even though he had accessed the user’s account previously.

Saudi Arabian authorities, the lawsuit alleges, would formally follow up with Twitter once it received confidential user data from its agents working inside the company, by filing so-called EDRs – or emergency disclosure requests – in order to obtain documentation that confirmed a user’s identity, which it would then use in court. Often those EDRs were approved on the same day.

In May 2015, when two Twitter users tweeted about the kingdom in a way that al-Asaker found objectionable, Albabarah accessed the users’ data within hours. EDRs about the users were then sent, and automatically approved by Twitter, the lawsuit alleges.

Between July and December 2015, Twitter granted the kingdom information requests “significantly more often” than most other countries at that time, including Canada, the UK, Australia and Spain, the lawsuit alleges.

On 5 November 2015, just days before Twitter was confronted by the FBI about its concerns about a Saudi infiltration of the company, it promoted Alzabarah – now a fugitive living in Saudi. In response, Alzabarah sent his Saudi government contact, al-Asaker, a note, conveying his “unimaginable happiness” for the promotion. The note, the lawsuit claims, is evidence that Alzabarah believed al-Asaker had “arranged” or “been influential” in connection to the promotion.

Once Twitter was made aware of the FBI’s concerns, it put Alzabarah on leave and confiscated his laptop, but not his phone, which he has used extensively to contact his Saudi state contacts. Twitter, the lawsuit alleges, “had every reason to expect that Alzabarah would immediately flee to Saudi Arabia, which is exactly what he did.”

The US attorney’s office in San Francisco, which handled the case, did not respond to The Guardian’s request for comment on the company’s handling of the matter.

Twitter would later notify users who had been exposed, telling them their data “may” have been targeted, but did not provide more specific information about the scale or certainty that the breach had, in fact, occurred.

By “failing to give this crucial information, Twitter put thousands of Twitter users at risk,” the lawsuit alleges, claiming that some may have had time to escape the kingdom had they understood the risk. Even once Twitter was aware of the breach, it continued to meet and strategize with Saudi Arabia as one of its vital partners in the region. Dorsey met with bin Salman about six months after the company was made aware of the issue by the FBI, and the two discussed how to “train and qualify Saudi cadres.”

“We believe in Areej’s case and we will zealously prosecute it – but what she wants most is for Saudi Arabia to simply release her brother and let him re-join his family in the United States,” said Jim Walden, a lawyer representing Al-Sadhan from Walden Macht & Haran. “Were that to happen, she and Abdulrahman would gratefully resume their lives and leave justice in God’s hand.”

Kicking Up A $10Billion Sporting Storm! Inside Saudi Arabia’s Plan To Dominate Football’s Premier League, PGA Tour Golf and More

— Image: Kryzsztof Nowak | August 10th, 2023 | Leaders | The Business of Sport

Sports fans have seen plenty of surprises this summer. Carlos Alcaraz won Wimbledon, ending years of domination of tennis by the trio of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. In golf the victors of the us Open and Britain’s Open were outsiders who were given odds of winning of 1% or less. On August 6th the all-conquering us women’s football team crashed out of the World Cup after Sweden scored a winning penalty. The ball crossed the goal line by only a few millimetres.

Yet the biggest shock has been off the field, as Saudi Arabia has barged into the sports industry. Pumped up on petrodollars and desperate to reinvent itself under Muhammad bin Salman (mbs), its 37-year-old de facto ruler, it has spent $10bn on players, teams and leagues, upending golf and football. That has upset Western fans, activists and politicians, who see it as “sportswashing” human-rights abuses, and complain about the desecration of the hallowed trophies of sport.

The Economist is no cheerleader for MBS (Oh well! F*** Yourself), but this sports-venting does not bear scrutiny. The West trades widely with Saudi Arabia, the deals will not make its bad human-rights record worse, and it is not clear that the country could or would monopolise and destroy any global sport. In a turbulent world many fans see their teams as a source of pride and stability. But many forget that sport is also a business that is being disrupted. It needs to be open to new capital and fresh ideas.

Sport has long seen investment splurges, whether by media tycoons or Russian oligarchs. Even by those standards the Saudi effort is big. In football it is paying for some of the world’s top players, including Karim Benzema, to play in a revamped domestic league. It controls Newcastle United, an English club, and may bid for the World Cup in 2030. In golf a Saudi-bankrolled tournament is merging with the pga Tour, America’s men’s circuit. The kingdom sponsors Formula 1, has deals in wrestling and boxing and is eyeing winter sports and e-sports.

Do not imagine that this is a modern version of Arab royals buying racehorses that catch their eye. Saudi Arabia’s plan is state-backed and more systematic than that. The kingdom views sport as a way to reinvest oil revenues and catalyse reform at home by creating a bigger services industry and boosting tourism. mbs is a volatile strongman, but he is also overseeing some liberalisation, including of women’s rights. The spread of a globalised, consumerist, sporting culture may help Saudi Arabia shift social norms away from austere religious conservatism.

The Saudi spree mirrors a surge in institutional capital flows into sport. Since early 2020 over $100bn of private-equity cash has been deployed. America’s baseball, basketball, hockey and football leagues contain brands with reliable cashflows (partly because these are self-regulating cartels). Europe’s soccer teams, which may be relegated, are riskier but sometimes undervalued given their big fan bases. Other sovereign buyers are active. Qatar, which hosted last year’s World Cup, has Paris St Germain, a French club, and a stake in the Washington Wizards, a basketball team. Bloomberg reckons 17 of Europe’s top 98 soccer clubs are now backed by sovereigns or institutional capital.

Many of these new investors see digital disruption as an opportunity. Revenues are in jeopardy, as viewers abandon traditional television, and in America “cut the cord” on cable packages that bundle sports. For old media firms this is a nightmare: Disney is looking for an investor to take a stake in espn, its huge, declining sports network. For nimble owners of teams and brands, digital disruption holds the promise of reaching audiences directly, with a more immersive, interactive experience.

Fans often fear change will ruin something that they love. However, sport is not just a competition between players, but also for an audience—and rival forms of entertainment do not stand still. Italy’s Serie A football league is a warning of what happens if reform is too slow. Its revenues are falling, its teams are underperforming and they are mostly lossmaking. European football costs over $7bn a year to run, excluding players’ wages, and does not break even. It can benefit from fresh money.

Besides, disruption can lead to improvements that bring in new fans. England’s Premier League broke off from the rest of the game in 1991 and is now one of the world’s most successful tournaments. India’s Premier League, launched in 2008, drew millions to Indian cricket. Formula 1 has found a younger audience in the Netflix show, “Drive to Survive” and direct-to-consumer streaming. Who knows what will come from Apple’s $2.5bn investment in streaming mls, America’s soccer league; or Qatar’s backing of Padel, a rival to tennis, with 25m players.

The case for disruption, then, is clear. However, Saudi Arabia faces two other objections. The first is that it is a state actor that is not motivated by profits and has vast resources. Sport requires a competitive balance, so if an owner buys all the best players their team can in theory win all the time and the game suffers. This risk needs to be watched. However, despite decades of crazy money, no team has managed to dominate football. Saudi Arabia’s spending on players is worth only 6% of European football’s annual operating costs. Its rebel league shook up golf.

Big Fan

The second objection is Saudi Arabia’s rotten record on human rights (Bullshit & Hypocrisy. West has a worst records of human rights as compare to Saudi Arabia), including the murder of Jamal Khashoggi (He was a Washington’s Puppet and a traitor who spewed filth against Saudi Arabia), a journalist (He was a Yellow Journalist). Foes of the West like Russia (Not true and big fat lie. What a Hypocrisy?) face sanctions (Nothing happened to Russia. Still alive and very much thriving. Read UN report.), which include sport. Yet the kingdom is not in this category. America and Europe did $140bn of trade with Saudi Arabia in 2022, including in oil and weapons—both more strategically sensitive than putting. And although some club owners gain influence, controlling sports assets does not seem to blind the Western public or their governments. Even Roman Abramovich, an oligarch who bought Chelsea to court Britain’s elite, has not escaped sanctions. As Qatar found with gay and labour rights (Qatar is a sovereign country and they have their own laws and regulations. That’s why they didn’t give a fuck to the World’s hypocrites. They managed the World’s elite event very successfully. Critics needs an immediate Psychiatric evaluation, tons of pills and a long bed rest not to wake-up again.) in the 2022 World Cup, sponsorship can sometimes bring more scrutiny.

An ever-expanding list of activities are restricted around the world on grounds of national security, well-being or morality: think of semiconductors, social media, and energy and arms. Adding sport to the list is an own goal. ■

“In Jordan it not easy to express negative opinions against royals. But we are afraid that Hussein's engagement to this saudi women will ruin our freedom further more. Being the cousin, she will be the opportunity for Muhammad bin salman to interfer in Jordanian politics. Already he wants the guardianship of Jerusalem. Now it is very easy move for MBS. Israel jordan water electricity treaty will be implemented to ruin the stability. None of the hashimites are happy about this engagement.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“Prince Hussein seems to be a sweet person..Anyone who met him only had good words about him,he cares for his people. Most Jordanians are really scared for their future,they don't trust a saudi after what happened in Jordan in 2021..It's sad to learn that he is forced by his parents to do things he doesn't want to..I'm not a fangirl i just saw pictures and videos of his engagement and after that,eyes can't lie he isn't happy.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“Jordanians are not happy with the choice royal family took for cp Hussein. They were hope that maybe Hussein will break the role or let's say routine of his family and marry a Jordanian girl but he didn't. He preferred the money and power Saudi Arabia will give him rather than make his people happy. Because of that it's quite sad and miserable to see people love and admire prince hamza just because he is marriage to a Jordanian woman. Also Jordanians aren't happy at all with princess iman's engagement. Totally a foreign and non-Muslim guy who converted to Islam just because he want to marry her.

20 April 2023: King Abdullah II and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the prime minister of Saudi Arabia, held a meeting at Al Salam Royal Palace in Jeddah, covering the deep-rooted bilateral ties and regional developments.

They expressed pride in the strong, historical relations between the two countries and peoples, stressing keenness on expanding cooperation in all fields. His Majesty and the Saudi crown prince noted the need to maintain coordination and consultation on issues of mutual concern, in service of shared interests, as well as Arab and Islamic causes. (Source: Petra)

The King highlighted Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role, under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, in promoting joint Arab action, commending Saudi Arabia’s efforts to host the 32nd Ordinary Session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level in Riyadh next month. The meeting covered regional and international developments, foremost of which are the Palestinian cause and crises in the region. His Majesty reaffirmed the need to support the Palestinians in attaining their just and legitimate rights, and to step up Arab and international efforts to create political horizons for the Palestinian cause that would pave the way towards relaunching negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis for just and comprehensive peace, on the basis of the two-state solution. The King attended a suhour banquet hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed in his honour. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein, Prince Talal bin Muhammad, and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, as well as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan, and a number of senior Saudi officials attended the meeting and the banquet.

Notes:

I became friends with a really pretty girl who is muslim, and I realized that with all the islamophobia that I was brought up with and had carefully worked on rooting out, I still had some islamophobic biases that I didn't realize I had. So, before I ever get into conversation with her about her religion, I made the decision to go ahead and start unlearning and unpacking those biases and fears.

I began taking a free Intro to Islam course over Zoom, and I really liked it. It quickly became less about not sounding stupid in front of this girl and more about the love I have for learning about other cultures and religions. I love replacing the hate I was brought up with with love and knowledge. I've missed the last two classes, but aside from those, I've attended as many classes as I could. Islam is a very beautiful religion, and when I think about it, I think back to a girl I spoke to on here years ago.

I can't remember her name or her url. But I remember her telling me that she chose to convert after a very traumatic experience. Her mother wasn't supportive, and it caused a lot of problems between them. But what I remember is how absolutely beautiful her love for her religion was. She told me that she felt the most free when she chose to wear the hijab, and explained a lot of concepts to me that I've just never forgotten. It was one of the first times I ever heard about Islam outside of my family, and it was one of the most life changing.

I really do think of her whenever I think of Islam as beautiful. I don't even know really what she looked like. I just found that love and safety she found under the shade of this beautiful religion and how it completely altered my view of it. She was so kind and sweet, and you could tell she really meant everything she was saying.

The coolest thing is that everything I learned about Islam after her, like real Islam, has only proven what she said. I am always happy when I get to learn more about Islam because every Muslim I've ever met speaks about it with so much love and affection. It just makes me smile, and I really could listen to people talk about it for hours.

Anyway, these books are not quite about Islam, but they fall under my research because they are connected. I am interested in knowing more about the current events in the Middle East---particularly in Palestine and Iran. I know a bit about Iran, but I don't like to post about or discuss subjects I don't feel adequately informed about lest I accidentally share inaccurate and harmful information. I haven't had the chance to really look into the political events going on in these countries, so I'm making a plan to do a fair amount of research to get myself up to snuff with the goings-on.

This is an ongoing list I plan to add to over time.

I saw your post about how the jordan people feel about Cp Engagement…. I went to school with him at GW & he had a gf ip until a few months prior to his engagement & she was a Jordanian American girl Very very very smart and beautiful but he fam isn’t wealthy at all she actually is the type that had to work hard to get where she is it’s funny b/c she now lives in NYC & works here but I don’t think his family approved b/c baby girl didn’t have much money

Thank you for sharing this information. But it's not about money as it is about politics. If he got married to a Saudi girl then Saudi Arabia will support Jordan for the rest of his life.

All what we say is just an analysis of this situation. Marrying a girl her cousin is Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. She is Saudi and wealthy and trying so hard to brove that they are in love. her necklace with there initials if you throw it on any one he will be die immediately lol.

All of that gave me a hint that they are want people to believe they are in love. But actually it's not funny I really hope that our analysis isn't truth. Cuz that means CP is getting married not for love but for politics. Hope from all my heart that our analysis isn't truth.

Ether 10, Part 4. "The Restoration."

The next few frames cover the generations that follow Morianton, "almost there." The previous one said Morianton was an almost but not quite kind of sovereign because he was promiscuous. The fear regarding a promiscuous leader is one, infidelity violates the Ten Commandments.

A president or king that violates one Commandment is likely to violate the others which are more serious like do not lie, cheat, steal or kill. This is not acceptable. This is not an appropriate example for others in the government or the public.

Little children watch TV these days and learn Donald Trump has had numerous affairs with porn stars and prostitutes and says not one good thing about his wife or family. All he does is parade himself around with that painted whore Lara Trump complaining about nonsense while the legal troubles associated with his whoring about get him in deeper trouble.

Such a person is not going to be able to sit and have the kind of conversations needed to balance our budget, clean our air and water, or solve significant diplomatic crises his office is expected to solve. He has a history of having sex with minors, and consorts with other persons like Mitt Romney that talk about doing little else. A presidential candidate that fucks little kids for fun is not viable.

His former Vice President is outspoken about his "signature move" which include sticking his hand inside the rectums of men who have been chemically and physically restrained.

Our character in the Book of Mormon is not so interesting or suave, but he fathers offspring and here are the implications. The first one is named Kim, "the implications of existence."

The substantive כמו (kemo) is כ (ke) plus the particle of inquisition מו (mo) and literally means something like "in the manner of the essence of..". It's used in the same way as כ (ke), but mostly in the poetic texts of the Bible and is possibly a bit more deft and theatrical.

12 And it came to pass that Morianton built up many cities, and the people became exceedingly rich under his reign, both in buildings, and in gold and silver, and in raising grain, and in flocks, and herds, and such things which had been restored unto them.

13 And Morianton did live to an exceedingly great age, and then he begat Kim; and Kim did reign in the stead of his father; and he did reign eight years, and his father died. And it came to pass that Kim did not reign in righteousness, wherefore he was not favored of the Lord.

The kim or implications a reign of a king like Morianton are not positive. In order for things to be restored as the text says, things have to have been taken away first. The trick is not to lose the comforts of civilization to begin with. Things were going fine, for example and then King Charles, Queen Camilla, Muhammad Bin Salman, George Bush and DIck Cheney conspired to fly those four airplanes off course on September 11, 2001.

Things were going fine until the Capitol Coup on January 6, orchestrated by the same persons, and now we are dealing with invasions in Ukraine and Israel, and a significant battery of climate change issues, all of these are the product of intrigue, all are manmade and will need restoration.

Verse 13 states we need the favor of God not the favor of men in how we approach this next restoration hardware project of our lives. There are laws prohibiting persons like Donald Trump from serving in the presidency. They must be enforced, or America will need to give up its sovereignty and agree to restructuring by the United Nations.

The War in Ukraine has to stop immediately, it is generating heat our atmosphere cannot vent properly into space due to the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the air.

Joe Biden acts like a Mister Peanut at times, but he obeys the Commandments and has been loyal to his family. Should he elect to enforce the law and deal properly with Donald Trump and climate change, there are no reasons he cannot serve again as the president. He may not however go to Vegas with this election in November as this would not be a responsible or legal approach to his current Office and unfavorable to God.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 12: The Number is 6862, ו‎ח‎וב‎‎, and debt. The Torah forbids debt and interest alike. Do not incur a debt, do not profit off of one. If a nation needs to go into debt to provide basic services it must use its investments to create a profit center or it incurs sin. Fortunately the law in America says if the investment is for the sake of the Greater Good it does not need to be paid back. Even still, one must incur a profit from the success of all expenditures in some measurable way.

v. 13: The Number is 5880, ה‎חחאֶפֶס‎‎, the hafes, "the bottom line".

The bottom line is the transition between Day 7 and Day 8. The verse says Kim took 8 years, meaning the people surpassed a milestone, they were obviously better off with all that land, livestock, and gold but they did not abandon the urge to transgress. They were just going to lose it all again and need to restore. Just like us.

Donald Trump is a filthy man and so are his friends and the members of his family. He cannot retain his place on the November ballot.

Judges 10: 6-10. "The Keys."

The Torah and Gematria warn the spiral staircase that leads towards Ha Shem is also arabah, a zigzag. There are also poles, constructive and deconstructive ways to approach the same moment in time based on the conditions present in the mind at the time. All of this is due to the structure of the Alefbeis, the letters within the Hebrew alphabet which exist in relationships not unlike polynomials or quadratic equations.

Note the Mishnah and Gemara on the Grasshoppers if you have not read them already. They illustrate the immensity of the "word problem" that is Judaism. Even after one learns how to solve for X or arrange the words so they make sense in English, the Rab says one must perfect one's understanding with practical application.

The Torah and Tanakh are a blueprint for civilized life. Only a fool would just talk about it without trying to live it. As a result of our failure to implement the Torah, armies are shooting missiles all day long turning ordinary lives into piles of rubble. Door to door they are doing this all over the world.

Violence is forbidden by the Torah. The jealousy behind the violence is forbidden by the Torah. Oppressing one's fellow man into the service of an army that acts on the ambitions of a corrupt man is forbidden by the Torah. For these things the prescription is death. Not only the death of the perpetrators but of the era that spawned a mankind that is incapable of refraining from wickedness.

Verily the Torah says if you are a savage man in a modern man's costume you must be erased from this world so the world of the future can turn. This message is meant for Donald Trump, the Republicans, the Mormons, Valdimir Putin, Bashar Assad, Muhammad Bin Salman, Kung Pao Kitty in North Korea, that asshole in Iran, all of you shall be soon be dead as penance for your crimes and as a reward for the virtuous.

Anywhere in the world where the few oppress the many, the Angel of Death shall trespass and kill them all, leaving freedom in its wake.

This is so God's Will and His Torah do not lose their place in human history. To Him must always be the Glory and that means the wicked, the corrupt, the violent and the ambitious must be put to death.

Anyone who attacks a Jew anywhere on earth or attacks Israel itself will die.

This brings us to the next Judge, Jephthah, which means to speak, to open the door with the key:

The verb פתח (patah) means to open. And since the opening of lips precedes speaking, and the opening of ears precedes hearing, our verb may also mean to speak and to hear (and to see, to be hospitable, to ask for with open hands, and so on). Our verb may be applied to the opening of constricting things, which gives it the meaning of to loosen or release. This verb (or perhaps a whole separate one) may also be used to mean to engrave, although engraving and opening a surface so that the surface speaks are not that far apart.

Noun פתח (petah) means opening or doorway. Similar noun פתח (petah) means opening in the sense of an unfolding. Noun פתון (pithon) also means opening. Noun פתיחה (petiha) denotes a drawn sword (the edge of a sword was known as the "mouth" of it). A prefixed מ usually indicates place or agency and noun מפתח (miptah) means utterance and the similar masculine noun מפתח (mapteah) means key.

The opposite or zigzag associated with this persona is an Amorite, "a talker". It has the specific connotation of "talking but promising nothing."

The ubiquitous verb אמר ('amar) means to talk or say and may even mean to promise or command. Nouns אמר ('omer) and מאמר (ma'amar) mean speech, word, promise or command. Nouns אמרה ('imra) and אמרה ('emra) mean utterance or speech. The metaphorical noun אמיר ('amir) refers to the leafy and fruit bearing crown of a tree.

The world is being laid to waste because of the contest between "words that are keys" and those that are utter total rubbish.

This mistake happens always after "Evil is done in the eyes of the Lord." The Gematria for verse 6 explains. The Number is 7284, זבחד‎ "sacrifice zabhad", "Get rid of the wolf with the sharply pointed tongue."

If that doesn't work the Shoftim says to sell the offenders, those who are listening to the Wolf into slavery to their supposed masters.

Now we know people are not supposed to have sex with minors. Everyone knows this. A person who is willing to risk this most egregious of sins and those who allow him to do it are allowing a person with deeply flawed character to exist side by side with people to whom they are a threat. Societies are not allowed to sell themselves the idea that the company of persons that do this is acceptable.

Everyone knows cheating on a boyfriend or husband or wife or girlfriend breaks their heart. Allowing it to happen or being supportive when it does forces an innocent person to live alongside someone who is actually a primary threat to their happiness and long life.

We are not allowed to be sold into situations with dangerous immoral persons. We are told to extricate ourselves from these circumstances and never look back. So the next Judge, Jephthah is the character trait of one who discerns how inconceivable life is alongside someone or something who is immoral and forsakes them.

To convince oneself things will work out and attempt to incorporate the person or persons and create a neighborhood with them is called an Ammonite. To build a community alongside persons like the Mormons, who have sex with minors, for example, or tolerate oppression like Pro-Life, or get married to a wiener dog is to commune after the manner of an Ammonite and this is forbidden.

Jephthah

6 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the Lord and no longer served him,

 7 he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, 

8 who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites. 

9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim; Israel was in great distress. 

10 Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, “We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 6. Definitions first:

Baal= a god on the ground. Do not worship men like they are gods.

Ashtoreth= "a central law." The institutionalized practice of fucking little kids by the Mormons is an example of an Ashtoreth. Some religions forbid the consumption of pork, or gay sex or force women to cover, these are also examples of Ashtoreths.

Gods of Aram= Nepotism, corruption, all the evils associated with politics.

The verb רום (rum) means to be high or high up in either a physical, social or even attitudinal sense, and may also refer to the apex in a natural process: the being ripe and ready-for-harvest of fruits. Subsequently, our verb may imply a state beyond ripe (higher than ripe, overripe), which thus refers to rotting and being maggot riddled. This means that to the ancients, higher did not simply mean better, and an arrogant political status that was higher than it should be equaled rot and worms (Acts 12:23).

Gods of Sidon=Sidon means "calcium" or "all bones no meat." Religious practices that do not contribute to the muscles are no good. They detract from life rather than add to it, rendering it into other definition of Sidon, "A river containing fish bones instead of fish."

Gods of Moab= failure to comprehend, slaver to delusion. Moab is the opposite of Moses, "the water of comprehension."

"Water represents the great unknown from which the dry land (ארץ, 'eres) of the known emerges. The ancients knew that vapor rises from the seas and becomes rain and compared this cycle to that of cognition (Isaiah 55:10-1). The words for rain and teacher are the same: מורה (moreh), which are closely related to the familiar word Torah."

So a god of Moab is a heretic, like the ones on CBN, and anyone who listens to them is listening to and acting like an idiot.

Gods of Ammonites= see above.

Gods of Philistines= Philistines are "burrowers" and "tunnelers." They look for clever ways to be lawless, violent, or weird, just like the Mormons. All religions have tunnelers, however, people who quote things and make everyone else miserable and no one knows why.

v. 7: He became angry...the Value in Gematria is 3644, גו‎‎דד‎‎, gudad, "until goodness advances."

v. 8:  For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites. The East Side of the Jordan in Gilead is close but not close enough. Amorites speak out of habit rather than direct experience. They cannot help one cross the Jordan and see Ha Shem in the Promised Land.

The Value in Gematria is 7293, ז��טג‎‎, zabatag, "the crown of the wolf" is to keep others from reaching the full potential of the Jewish Self by spewing nonsense. At age 18, one's susceptibility to this should end.

v. 9: The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim; Israel was in great distress. 

Jordan= "a young judge."

Judah= God's glory.

Benjamin= "son who is readily available."

Ephraim= "to make up the face in the sea." (to see himself in God's image.)

"To cure Israel of distress, a young man must readily demonstrate the ability to see himself made in God's image."

The Value in Gematria is 6051, ו‎אֶפֶסהא‎, "and the world will change."

v. 10: Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, “We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.” "Do not cry out, act."

God did not want to hear cries after He freed us from Egypt. Freedom, AKA citizenship is not a venue for complaints or relapses into oppression. There is no need to repent for crying out, one has to act appropriately instead.

The Value in Gematria is 6135, ו‎אגה‎‎ and aga, "and shine."

On 28 January 2023, Saudi media and social media users circulated videos, on Friday, showing Crown Prince Hussein, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the son of the Sultan of Oman, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Theyazin bin Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, in Al-Ula Governorate in Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi crown prince appeared taking pictures with some citizens in one of the circulating clips, driving his car in another and visiting a restaurant. The Saudi Al-Arabiya channel and Omani media published a clip showing Prince Muhammad bin Salman leaving a restaurant in Al-Ula, accompanied by the Crown Prince of Jordan and the son of the Sultan of Oman.

"The God of Dogs." From Surah Seven, Al Araf, "The Heights."

Ramadan Day 14

Donald Trump is still free, and that means the Mormons and Republicans are still in charge here in America and are getting away their crimes, including attacking Israel scott free. In God's Name, the unholy alliance between the USA, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Muhammad Bin Salman against the Sacred City must not succeed.

Vladimir Putin had an upset in Moscow but the war in Ukraine is still raging, another sign America is faltering in its duties to God. Food and water are running shy in the Middle East, most of Africa, there is plenty of food in Argentina but now no one has any money or can afford it. There is no money at all in India, and all around the world, we are waiting for the Right Time, the Hour of Right Judgement.

Read now what Allah told Muhammad to do about a world like ours.

7: 175-178.

And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.

If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.

What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.

Commentary:

Whoever reads the Quran and reflects upon the past becomes God's Prophet in the here and now. The god of dogs, Satan and his prophets are trying to take over this planet. They must not be allowed to succeed.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 175: Relate to them the story of a deviant. The Value in Gematria is 7717, ז‎זאז‎ , "The move."

"Leave Egypt or die with the Firstborn of the Egyptians."

v. 176: His Example is that of a dog. The Value in Gematria is 15558, אהההח, ahhh, "the howling brother."

Howlers are people God has abandoned for failing to follow the Commandments. From the Song of Moses, found in Ha'azinu:

7 Remember the days of old;     consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you,     your elders, and they will explain to you. 8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,     when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples     according to the number of the sons of Israel.[b] 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people,     Jacob his allotted inheritance. 10 In a desert land he found him,     in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him;     he guarded him as the apple of his eye, 11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest     and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them     and carries them aloft. 12 The Lord alone led him;     no foreign god was with him. 13 He made him ride on the heights of the land     and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock,     and with oil from the flinty crag, 14 with curds and milk from herd and flock     and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan     and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape. 15 Jeshurun[c] grew fat and kicked;     filled with food, they became heavy and sleek. They abandoned the God who made them     and rejected the Rock their Savior. 16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods     and angered him with their detestable idols. 17 They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—     gods they had not known,     gods that recently appeared,     gods your ancestors did not fear. 18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;     you forgot the God who gave you birth.19 The Lord saw this and rejected them     because he was angered by his sons and daughters. 20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said,     “and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation,     children who are unfaithful. 21 They made me jealous by what is no god     and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people;     I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding. 22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,

v. 177: What an evil example. The Value in Gematria is 5876, החזו‎ "predict".

The Quran says that humans bring their own troubles:

‏ أَوَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُم مِّثْلَيْهَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَا ۖ قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ أَنفُسِكُمْ

AND DO YOU, now that a calamity has befallen you after you had inflicted twice as much [on your foes], ask yourselves, 'How has this come about?' Say: 'It has come from your own selves.' Verily, God has the power to will anything: (3:165) [Asad]

The focal point of the entire teaching of the Qur’an is that human being’s every action and even his thought produce consequent results (3:29; 9:78; 67:13). Good actions produce good results and bad actions produce bad results (2:81-82; 2:202). This is called the law of requital:

لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ ۗ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

It may not accord with your wishful thinking - nor with the wishful thinking of the followers of earlier revelation - [that] he who does evil shall be requited for it, and shall find none to protect him from God, and none to bring him succour, (4:123) [Asad]

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allah's disobedience which you used to do in this world). (37:39) [Hilali & Khan]

اصْلَوْهَا فَاصْبِرُوا أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Taste you therein its heat, and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do. (52:16) [Hilali & Khan]

But this is possible only if a human being is free and uses his freewill and freedom of choice to act (18:29) and face the consequences thereof:

قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ

SAY [O Prophet]: "O mankind! The truth from your Sustainer has now come unto you. Whoever, therefore, chooses to follow the right path follows it but for his own good, and whoever chooses to go astray goes but astray to his own hurt. And I am not responsible for your conduct. (10:108) [Asad]

v. 178: Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers. The Value in Gematria is 7856, זחהו‎ , zakho, from zakak ho, "He always remembers to praise that which pure and has purpose."

Donald Trump, the Republicans, the Russians, the Saudi Arabians, anyone and everyone causing war, apartheid, and ecomonic, climactic, and food and water stress on this planet must be stopped. The fact they are doing this the fault of the human race and the human race must mount an effort to make right all the wickedness it has caused by sitting in the audience while the god of dogs ran this world for so long.

Whoever clings to life will follow the Quran and do what has to be done to stop them. And all this is happening because the US Government couldn't bear the thought of doing its job, putting a stop to a hotelier, a former President his friends from doing things no one should be allowed to do. It will be a miracle of this generation recovers from it but we must try.
