It has been a month

Since I have returned from the trip. Just as motivated as before to take the aliyah. I have researched quite a bit. I know that this process is not going to be easy.

I have been reading a number of blogs as well as researching the Jewish Agency, Nefesh B' Nefesh and the AACI (American and Canadians in Israel).

My sister asked me what percentage I was at in making my decision...and I told her about 50-60%. I do not care about the money, or lack thereof. The drive to do this is substantially deeper. Though at the same time difficult to explain. Anyway, it has been a month since I have been back and I dislike being back.

Powell Endorsement = Obama Duplicity (again?)

I have a question and I hope someone might be able to answer it. We all know that General Powell endorsed the Messiah a couple of days ago. Most right center blogs have talked about it and well in muted tones. I think we all can agree that Powell at most was a RINO if he was even registered as a Republican (I am not sure, I never checked). That's all fine and good. My question relates to his fundamental role in helping shape US foreign policy since 9/11. Here we have a very talented general who as Secretary of State defended our actions especially in the war in Iraq. Here is what Wikipeda has to say after a quick search:

Powell came under fire for his role in building the case for the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. In a press statement on February 24, 2001 he had said that sanctions against Iraq had prevented the development of any weapons of mass destruction by Saddam Hussein. As was the case in the days leading up to the Persian Gulf War, Powell was initially opposed to a forcible overthrow of Hussein, preferring to continue a policy of containment. However, Powell eventually agreed to go along with the Bush administration's determination to remove Hussein. He had often clashed with others in the administration, who were reportedly planning an Iraq invasion even before the September 11 attacksâ€”an insight supported by testimony by former terrorism czar Richard Clarke in front of the 9/11 Commission. The main concession Powell wanted before he would offer his full support for the Iraq War was the involvement of the international community in the invasion, as opposed to the unilateral approach some advocated. He was also successful in persuading Bush to take the case of Iraq to the United Nations, and in moderating other initiatives. Powell was placed at the forefront of this diplomatic campaign.

Powell's chief role was to garner international support for a multi-national coalition to mount the invasion. To this end, Powell addressed a plenary session of the United Nations Security Council on February 5, 2003 to argue in favor of military action. Citing "numerous" anonymous Iraqi defectors, Powell asserted that "there can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more."^[16] Powell also stated that there was "no doubt in my mind" that Saddam was working to obtain key components to produce nuclear weapons.^[16]

Fast forward to the present. Obama ran on basically the Iraq war was wrong ticket. To this day he wont repudiate his stance. And now, after running on this stand since well 2002 NOW, Obama is now saying that Powell will have a place in an Obama administration? Wait, I thought all Bush Cronies were evil? What gives? Who would have thought that an architect to US foreign policy after 9/11 who helped launch the US to war and defended our actions to go to war against Iraq would have such a prominent place in Obama's administration! Is this just another example of Obama duplicity?

Update on things.

First my sister is VERY lucky. She is back in California visiting our grandmother. I am hoping in the next month I will be there visiting her and telling them about the trip. (more than what I could do on the phone.) and showing them some of the stuff I brought back.

However today my sister just sent me a very very very good text. She got me the name of the cemetery that my grandfather is buried. I needed this because I need to prove to the Jewish Agency that well..I am Jewish. According to the right of return I just need to prove that a grandparent or parent is Jewish and then I met that requirement and now I am a step closer to that. Then I can move on to the next phase in the process. A step closer to changing my life. As I have told Chris, moving to Israel is not something that I am motivated to do for financial purposes. (which is very unlike me - if you asked the people I have been close to most of my life.) No, this is purely a cerebral and almost spiritual moving and motivation.

So now, tomorrow I will call Mt of Olives Cemetary and see what I can do to get the necessary documentation. And, tomorrow I need to the Jewish Agency again. YAY me!

Found some great pics

Of Jerusalem....I was searching for Mount of Olives Bazaar. This was a store that we visited toward the end of our tour in Jerusalem. This website has a couple of pics inside the storefront and it looks exactly as I remember it. This is the store where I bought my coin of the Masada (with certificate of authenticity) and fridge magnets and another charm. Our tour stopped there for tea and a restroom break before we were being dropped off near our hotel in Jerusalem.

Enjoy the pics!

Mandatory Reading

For everyone who will vote in this election..this essay is MANDATORY READING. It is clearly that well done. Please read and think of the company you work for..think about that company's future and think about your future with that job. How will tax increases affect your company? How safe is your job, especially when you factor the economic uncertainty that we are currently in and then factor ADDITIONAL tax hikes on top of it.

Read this and really think...think about the future!

Well it's done. Welcome to the Obama Presidency.

McCain needed to go at Obama's Jugular...arguing about ACORN/The Subprime Mess with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae....and he needed to hit home about the voter fraud that is ALREADY going on in the election...instead...McCain barely mentioned ACORN...did not mention anything about the Subprime crises....barely mentioned Obama's friends the terrorists and extremists....so, it's done. McCain is over.

America has just given up it's arms to have our wrists slit by the Democrats who are now holding the razors.

Better accept the next 4 years of an Obama Presidency....it is going to be very ugly ride.

GAME OVER MAN!

Absentee Ballot

I got mine yesterday. So, if you are an absentee voter you probably already have yours...or are getting it any day now. Of course I am voting for Palin (unfortunately McCain is on the ticket) LOL. It looks like another election that I will be voting straight Republican. There is no way in Hell I will vote for Ed Pastor...fucking Dhimmicrat. The main thing I am looking into are the ballot initiatives. Oh fun! I hope to have this mailed back by the end of the week. In 2004 I couldn't vote for President because it was too late to register in Arizona. So, this time around I get the opportunity to exercise my right to vote.

Tech Question

My JVC Camcorder....has quite a few movies from Israel....the problem I am encountering is when I view the clips on the PC or something...it wont play teh volume...I found out that they use their own crappy proprietary program .mod instead of the traditional mpg or mov formats. Does anyone have an idea how to convert these files?

Thanks!

Though I have to say it is crazy weird watching the movies on the camcorder on my big screen TV. Lital, Chris and Shawn on the TV

I still kick myself for not getting Lital singing the Hey Clip on tape!!!!
