Never knew about the 12 questions. Thank you Rabbi. I love learning something new from you. Peace.
Napoleon asked some good questions. I think it’s good for anyone wanting to come to a new country.
Yes, and usually most immigrants doesnt have problems with it. But in our time, we do have lotsa non european immigrants - read muslims - where many DOES have problems with such questions... There are exceptions, for example Ukrainian and Bosnian muslims there is no problems with them whatsoever.
Why ask questions? Why not just tell them the law and deport any that break it?
@@PrivateSi that’s true too.
All twelve questions:
1. Is it lawful for Jews to have more than one wife?
2. Is divorce allowed in the Jewish religion, and if it is, is it allowed even in contradiction to the codes of French law?
3. Does Jewish law permit a Jewess to marry a Christian man, or a Jew to marry a Christian woman, or may they marry only other Jews?
In the eyes of Jews, are Frenchmen who are not Jewish, considered to be their brethren or strangers?
What type of conduct does Jewish law prescribe toward non-Jewish Frenchmen?
6. Do the Jews who are born in France, and have been granted citizenship by the laws of France, truly acknowledge France as their country? Are they bound to defend it, to follow its laws, to follow the directions of the civil and court authorities of France?
7. Who elects rabbis?
What kind of judicial power do rabbis exercise over the Jews?
9. If there is rabbinical jurisdiction over the Jews, is it regulated by the laws of the Jewish religion or is it merely a custom existing among Jews?
10. Are there professions from which Jews are excluded by Jewish law?
11. Does Jewish law prohibit Jews from taking usury from other Jews?
12. Does Jewish law prohibit Jews from taking usury from non-Jews?
from Jewish History dot Org.
Logically point 9 is in full contradiction to all others. "to follow its lows, direction of authorities"....??? All other questions acknowledge the exitence of "Jewish low" whatever it means. Solely the exitence of "jewish low" makes it sensless to ask further questons about french lows. Macron does not even dare to ask muslims, if they acknowledge "french lows" instead od Sharija. No community, which has its own lows, can acknowleged the other lows nnd Napoleon knew this himself too. Actually Napoleon wasnt frenchman, he was a Corsican, who never accepted French lows for himself either...on this way he became en emperor of France. This is a theatral scene between Napoleon and the jews about French lows, where boths sides know exactly that both reject them.

In 1831, Jews in Jamaica gained full political rights, including the right to vote, and the ability to own property as British citizens. This was three years before the emancipation of slaves in Jamaica, and two years before similar rights were granted to Jews in England and Canada. The Jamaican Jewish movement inspired these later movements.
That's because they were under an Anglo-Saxon culture
Duh, the Jews were the merchants bringing human and sugar cargo to and fro, many were conversos, meaning, Name Stealers. Have a nice day.
This professor is amazing. What a great teacher. He’s a gift to all of humanity.
Thanks. My mom says the same thing!

thats why people that acknowledged not the Christian truth foundation of the country would seem 2nd or third in governance and trade its kind of a logical way to see management of prosperity if righteouness is directly linked with the truth in Christ this is what non converted jews and moslims and others never understand about western society in perticular

@Jamez-q2e This professor is amazing. Amazing that he can sit there and talk about his people's historical grievances while the persecution of Palestinians for decades by Israel continues and has now led to the genocide of 40,000 of them and counting and with no end in sight.
Very interesting and well told. Thank you.
Hello Professor Abramson, I hope that you’re doing very well! I really want to extend you my appreciation for how incredibly insightful this video is, many thanks!
Glad you liked it!
fascinating. I remember doing Zola's J'Accuse (Dreyfus Affair ) in school. First question from the students was. How were Jews in the french Army as every other country banned them from Government jobs.. Teacher hadn't a clue. Finally makes sense.
"1798, a _sharp_ date"-yes, I'm sure many French nobles would give that a nod if they still had their heads. 😂 Thanks for another great lecture, good professor. 👍
That's a good one!!
Great little lecture! Loved stumbling on it!
I love Jewish history. Thank you God for this man. I also love my Black history.
Both groups have overcome tremendous oppression.

@euphemiariley4523 I also love Jewish history, especially the Holodomor.
What is there to love about usury, terrorism and child sacrifice?
I learned a lot in such a short amount of time. Clear. Concise. A coin, too. Thank you for publishing.
Thank you Rabi, always fascinating facts and history told in a gentle pleasant manner. I've learned so much from you.
"Worse than they were in ancient times?" Is he kidding? African slave men were castrated by the Arab slavers, dying like flies. Infants were stabbed, strangled, or bashed against trees, to get rid of them. African slaves in the US had families. Field hands lived in small houses, and house slaves lived in the big house, to attend the slave owner's family. There were free, African slave owners in the US. Descendents of African slaves make up 14% of the US population. Where are the descendants of the many millions of African slaves transported to Arabia, Persia, India, Spain, and France, especially under the Ottomans? They didn't survive and reproduce, because they weren't allowed to survive and reproduce.
Africas population is set to increase by 200million over the next 10 years right now there 23 million starving to death in 4 neighboring countries in Africa… imagine if nobody had gone to Africa and left them to their own… I wonder if they would’ve died out from overpopulation when surrounded by the worlds most abundant resources or would masses migrate in search of civilizations that forged thier own systems… I want to know what makes people leave rather be resourceful and learn to utilize everything around them. There must be genetic components. Looking at mass migration now it seems the answer to why Neanderthals died out should be apparent to everyone > inundated and out bred by competing species…just an armchair sociologist with a 1 in a million brains that can spot anomalies in conversations on paper and visually
You rightly point out the mass amnesia about Arab slavery, but don't be an apologist for US slavery.
@@johnwright9372 I am a Christian, so obviously I'm not an apologist for any slavery. Don't be an apologist for modern slavery in China. Silence is consent. There are currently millions of people in forced labor production concentration centers in China. Starving, beaten, murdered, to produce the clothes you're wearing. I'm so opposed to the Communazi gulag system, I've spent the last 3 years learning to produce fiber in my flower beds. I've learned to card, spin, knit, weave, crochet, and more for myself and family. I don't need other people's lives to be destroyed to have clothes., blankets, curtains, etc. Apologists for slavery don't talk about it. They just blithely go shopping without questioning, where did this come from.
Your completely missing the point of what he is talking about because you are hyper focused on telling everyone that premodern islamic socieites at the same time, extant (the ottoman empire and surviving barbary states dependent on the ottomans/on lesser occasion the morrocan kingdom) were brutal and barbarous to their non-muslim subjects and war captives both of european and african descent (side note, europeans slavs,were also still being held as slaves in tatar lands during this time period as well and were only recently being liberated).
The professor is simply explaining how the french revolutionary context of the word emancipation in this case is distinct from other soon followed emancipations that are occuring, in some cases in tandem with the advances of napoleon's armies into eastern europe...and more commonly shortly after the napoleonic wars ended and waves of new intellectual revolutions believing in enlightenment ideals of citizenship over subjecthood swept central and eastern europe freeing millions from status discrimination of serfdom, legalized peasantry discrimination, discrimination against langauges in the kingdom of hungary... the list is actually very long.
The professor doesn't dwell on this context as he assumes the listener may or may not be able to investigate these greater contexts themselves, but being that he is teaching an American audiance he is merely briefly explaining the french revolutionary definition of the word emancipation in contrast to what we as american's may be used to hearing it our own history classes.
This is simply not a lecture on north african slavery, and your current fixation on it is odd. He was merely explaining the distinction of the uses of the term. The slaves of north africa were by and large NEVER emancipated, as they had to be liberated by european armies and colonial administrations for the most part.
Fascinating. The image of Napoleon giving the Ten Commandments to a Jew on the medallion of the Great Sanhedrin shows his conceit knew no bounds .
They don't call it the "Napoleonic complex" for nothing.
The Jews cast the medal in his honor. He did not create it for himself
France "going to war with Germany with quite some regularity" is a nice turn of phrase.
Thank you, R' Henry, for this lecture.
It was the other way around.
That was fascinating. Thanks
As usual for all your talks, the information to time ratio is off the charts. Thanks you!
Are you going to do a video about the adoption of surnames?
@actualGolem You mean the Jewish changing of surnames in order to be subversive.
Fascinating historical episode.
Thank you. It is a great way in to understanding more about the historical influences and cultural pressures
acting on Jewish communities.
@kaynewling3455 Perhaps he could do a study next on the subversive behaviour of the Jews which caused 'cultural pressures'
acting on them.
A really interesting lecture on a topic I knew nothing about. Thank you so much!
On one point, though, I think you might be mistaken: about the idea of the phrase "Jewish emancipation" coming (at least directly) out of the emancipation of black slaves. In fact I think Jewish emancipation _in an Anglo-Saxon context_ really emerges from the debate about Catholic emancipation, the lifting of civil disabilities on Catholics in Great Britain and especially in Ireland among the political classes in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, both before Ireland and Great Britain united into the United Kingdom in 1800, but especially afterwards when the problem could not be wished away as a foreign problem and as (Protestant) Irish MPs became part of the Westminster Parliament. I imagine the influence of the American and French revolutions played a part in this movement for Catholic emancipation, as did the Napoleonic wars and the rhetoric of freedom employed in them, and the movement for the emancipation of slaves must have had an impact on the struggle for Catholic civil rights, but it is this call for Catholic emancipation that directly led to calls for for Jewish emancipation in the early decades of the nineteenth century.
It was the _Catholic Emancipation Act_ of 1829 that ended most disabilities for Catholics (voting, standing for Parliament, Government offices), but Jews had to wait for the _Jews Relief Act_ of 1858 (and some disabilities remained right up to the Universities Test Act in the late 1860s that finally allowed non-Anglicans to go officially to the universities).
This Google ngram shows the relative introduction and popularity of the phrases *Catholic emancipation,* *Jewish emancipation* and *emancipation of slaves* (I've exaggerated *Jewish emancipation* tenfold for visibility).

There is a recent video from Religion for Breakfast that explains the hat. It primarily concerns Bishop's mitres, but it also has examples of important Jewish figures portrayed, both positively and negatively, in similar head gear. Alexander Henry, the presenter, connects it to St. Jerome's translation of the rays emanating from the head of Moses as he descended from Mt. Sinai as horns. The hat was supposed to represent those horns. Watch the video. It's fascinating.
Amazing lecture. Wonderfully presented!
I would definitely like to learn more about this in more detail, partly because I've been reading recent historians who have questioned whether the universal rights of the Napoleonic reforms really improved matters for people, or whether we lost something by adopting universal rights as opposed to the specific liberties that had previously been negotiated. The examples used in these books do include Jewish communities, but they are far from exclusively about the effect on Jewish communities. My reading has got me to wondering what Jewish people think about all that, and also brought to my attention the need to know more about just what the Napoleonic reforms entailed. Your summary was very helpful, but I'd be glad to learn more. (I would guess there is some diversity of thought.)
John, read almost anything written by Bruun, a professor of History at Yale. A wealth of unbiased (no left, no right) information about France and Europe in general of 18-19th centuries. He also writes well.
@@CaesarRenasci Thanks for the reference. I read a lot of history, but don't think I've read anything by him.
@@CaesarRenasci No longer at Yale, perhaps? I don't find anyone by that name on the history faculty at Yale. Do you have a first name?
Growing up in France ,I always heard that Napoleon had given the Jews complete freedom,same as the rest of the people there.
@@CaesarRenasci I found a Geoffrey Bruun, who died 35 years ago and was never at Yale as far as the Internet knows, but who did write on the subject. It doesn't hurt to get a perspective from the days between the world wars, so I've ordered a copy of one of his books.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Didn’t learn that in high school. To be fair, I’m not Jewish or French, but they are good questions that got answered.
French people don't know it either outside of those who are truly interested in history.
Not in all of Europe were the Jews oppressed In the Dutch Republic, which lasted until roughly the French revolution, (Sephardic) Jews were the near equals of the dominant protestants and were appreciated and trusted far above Catholics who were much more likely to have a conflicting loyalty to the Catholic Church that had significant worldly power at the time. In fact, Dutch Jews resented the coming of the French as they had disposed the Prince of Orange who was considered the safeguard for Jewish freedom in the Netherlands. From their side Jewish bankers supported the Dutch governments and were friends of the House of Orange.
Napoleon was very interested in religion and faith despite never practicing much in his lifetime. He famously professed to be a Muslim but only tongue in cheek as he had attempted to win over the Egyptian peoples, but also had a priest hear confession in his final years
Great presentation, even handed, very interesting.
Very cool, Professor! Thanks much. Things I figured must have happened, but the details of which I was (yet again) totally ignorant. As for the hat, it would be pretty awesome. I think the CZcams viewer should all pitch in and find a good milliner to put one together for you. That's only if you'd promise to wear it on an upcoming video, of course.....

16:04 fascinating! I had no idea.
Europe needed Napoleon to whip into the modern era. The First French Revolution was supposed to do that, but the result was a total terror.
In that picture plates has six lines each = 12. They must present Napoleon’s questions!?
Thank you very much for your presentation.
I’m not Jewish but I am grateful for the information.
The history is soo very relevant today. With much talk about migration and assimilation, your talk is extremely informative.
I had no idea how smart Napoleon was.
To ask if immigrants are willing to defend their new country is brilliant.
To answer yes, is commendable and a grand gesture to the country they wanted to make their home.
These are French Jews. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:30 It's an impressive hat indeed!
Dr Andrew from ReligionForBreakfast recently posted a video about the origins of the Pope's hat. He also mentions this unique style of hat seen here and the way it was used to portray Jews.
Thank you for this video. Today more than ever these 10 questions should be important principles to allow foreigners to enter and remain in any nation. France today is suffering a massive migration of people that bares no respect for the Laws and traditions of that host country. The same for the US, England and Europe.
Another fascinating talk Professor! Very interesting how fear and/or desperation lends itself to compromise. We can look at France in 2010-today, and see how it was so overrun with certain immigrants and ultimately, was forced to make many of the same compromises to accommodate them that they (the French) were expecting Jews to make clear back in the late 1700s. Ecclesiastes 1:9
Thank you for your research, your time, and just throwing my two cents in here… I would LOVE to see you with that hat! 😂
Who are these "certain immigrants" you mention? Forgive me but that sentence reads very much like a parody of long-standing xenophobic tropes in European history, so it will cause a suspicious response in many readers (including me.)
Thank you for this video Prof. Abramson, very informative and interesting! Just discovered your channel. Could you suggest any books/sources about this topic, of Jews relationship with the French Revolution, Napoleon, and this Assembly/Sanhedrin more particularly?
this was fantastic. i subbed!
Welcome!
The Marquis de La Fayette, close friend of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man.
I find it difficult not to contrast the emancipation of Jews in France with what is happening today in Israel. How can you with a straight face say that emancipation is part of modernity?
What's happening today in Israel?
Correct me if i'm wrong, the hat of the Rabbi in charge that you showed looks like a 2 horns shape. Could that a be reference to Moses and his 2 horns according to the Latin translation? A you are aware the Vulgata translated the "shine" of Moses that came down from the mountain as "twohorned".
In Spain we have two different legal systems at some levels and there is no contradiction in it. For most matters, even some criminal matters, the Spanish law accepts as binding the decisions of the Gypsy patriarch with respect to his own people, according to Gypsy custom. Outside ethnic communities, Spanish law recognizes as binding decisions made by a specific traditional farmer's tribunal on water rights. Maintaining areas of self-determination for certain communities is only sensible and contributes to the acceptance by those communities of the State. It's fair, as homgeneous laws are not always suitable, as an expression of the awareness of a modicum of relativity.
Great video
It's very interesting to learn this segment of Jewish history. We hear a lot more about the history of Jews in Spain; all I knew about France is connected with the Dreyfus case. Napoleon was a clever, destructive bastard... I say that because of all the death and destruction he caused throughout Europe, the Middle East and Russia ... and I use the word "bastard" just to be polite! Thank you again, Henry.
You have to look very hard in history to find morally intact historical figures, to be frank.
Yes he destroyed and made much trouble in the hole world but at least he brought the idea of liberty, the modern science and democracy to the hole world now we take for granted. Strange guy this tiny "corsaire" .

Napoleon is definitely a controversial figure, but he is not responsible for the wars associated with his name, the so called "napoleonic" wars that were just the continuation of the french revolutionnary wars, that started in 1792, when Napoleon was just an unknown artillery lieutenant in the french armee (and an anti-french corsican independantist).
When Napoleon seized power, France was already at war, against Austria, Russia, the Ottoman Empire and Britain, and already had been for 7 years. Most of the wars, the "coalition wars", were made against him, not by him, coalitions of monarchies funded by the british.
Napoleon does have a lot to answer for, in Egypt, in Haiti, in Spain and in Russia. But each time, he does have a lot of extenuating circumstances.
In Egypt, he was french general at the orders of the french republic, he made war with extreme cruelty but he did it along the rules of the Middle East, and from this expedition did rose the discipline of egyptology, and the first research that would allow later the digging of the Suez Canal.
In Haiti, he behaved like any colonial head of state would have, and if it's often said that he tried to restore slavery, slavery had not been really abolished. As fot the quotes and thoughts that are attributed to him about black people, it's just made-up or wrongly translated BS from activists.
In Spain, he did invade and occupied an ally country, but you could argue he was only replacing a french dynasty (the Bourbons, set up on the spanish throne by Louis the XIVth a century earlier) with another french dynasty (the Bonapartes) and that abolishing the spanish inquisition could be put to his credit (plus, it lauched the independance of Latin America).
In Russia, he did invade first, but Russia was about to attack him anyway, it had tried launch an insurrection in Poland the previous war, it had broken the alliance, it was openly preparing for war and left all of Napoleon's conciliation offers unanswered.
If Napoleon was indeed the main responsible for all the wars associated with him, and that he had started all those wars just for his ego and thirst for power and glory, under the mask of liberty and modernity, then you could indeed say he was just a proto-Hitler, just a little less crazy and evil.
But he not anymore responsible for those wars than his contemporaries, an ruler is judged in regard to his contemporaries.
As fot the quotes and thoughts that are attributed to him about black people, it's just made-up or wrongly translated BS from activists.
@@bretonneux3389 Merci pour toutes les informations detaillees.
Polygamy was "outlawed" in 1000AD in order to assimilate safely into the pagan european cultures. It was a 1000 year long edict which presumably has now expired, and its purpose was to reduce the slaughter of european jews. There was never word from YHWH to make that law.
Divorce was never permitted, with the one mosaic exception, which resulted in major distress to all parties.
Under similar duress, christendom was coerced to move their sabbath to Sunday, around the year 325AD.
The hats in both the painting with Napoleon and the portrait of Sintzheim appear to me to be predecessors of the modern shtreimel and similar hats. The peaks (or sometime one peak) were lost and the width of the fur widened also become more elaborated.
Tzvi Ashkenazi who preceded Sinzheim actually wears a version with one peak, so I wouldn't put a lot of value in that assessment.
@@MrEVAQ See the pictures in the Wikipedia article.
Thank you for this!
The function of the French Revolution was
1.To end the monarchy so that a more compliant client state could be created.
2.To Establish a Central Bank system so that money could be created out of nothing and issued by a private bank at interest to the state.
3. To entrench anti Catholic sentiment and ultimately the Catholic Church.
Napoleon was suspicious of French Jewry for the part they were alleged to have played in financing Anti Monarchy propaganda prior to the Revolution and financing the orgy of violence during the revolution.
Thats the thing about the truth,nobody believes it.
Socialism and endless wars cannot exist on sound money. Thus, central bank serving the socialism and wars.
Thank G-d you know it. You have a deeply flawed perception of human nature, my friend. In addition, the use of the word "function" gives you away as a Marxist. Whether or not you know that follow him does not really matter.
The Jew peoples have the strong genius for brain studies like physics, economics, medecines.. They give the country they live good values and outputs to be good citizen. Napolean did the good thing
😂😂😂😂😂😂 That's why they take the money of the Rothschild family and America
That's great thanks
Good questions hie came up with
I enjoyed God bless
not emancipation but naturalization; no longer guests part of a non-native community; but full citizens
Great comment, Alex! Thank you.
The hat resembles the two tablets given by God at Mt. Sinai.
Hadn't seen that, it did occur to me that perhaps it was a witty take on the horns of Moses. Would love to know

Thank you!
Judging by the reply given by the rabbis to these 12 questions posed to them by Napoleon, flattery didn't seem to bother them, as they were concerned with ingratiating themselves, which runs contrary to Jewish teaching and law. Some of their responsa ran contrary to Jewish laws and tradition.

Iranian Jews: Didn't Emperor Heraclius kill them?
Wow. I did not know this.
This is a very different frame from how European Nationalism is usually presented. It's important to note that Zionism was invented as a direct response to questions like these. Jews were being forced to give up their Jewish identity, so they said in order to save our culture we need a homeland just like all other cultures do.
Iranian Jews: Wow, why don't they fight the Russians? They are Turks.
So would a German Jew fight a French Jew? What was their answer?
I don't know their answer but the reality was that they did fight. 12,000 German Jews died in WW1 fighting against the Allies and many French, English, Russian Jews died fighting Germany.
are all people created equally or are some races and or ethnicities better than others. then who is asking the question and who is answering
Napoleon wants to know if you are German or French. For first time Jews have to have consule . Jews is a relion not a nationality.
They are also an ethnicity.
Napoleon as a new Moses! Who'd think of it today? Thank you.
COUNTRIES as Germany and Holland were more free and prospered under God and every village here in the Netherlands has a church house the people sought God and the Lord made them to believe on the Gospel and truth of Jahova reaveled fully in His Son Jesus Yeshua the messiah and in that inlightenment the Lord blessed these nations and started to recieve the righteousness of God in there hearts so society here really identified a rightous man and society as one that needs to at least acknowledge the truth of God in Christ even the kings and politians are sworn in, now less but back then needed to be sworn in with the bible and if they deviated from righteous rule SO HELP THEM GOD
thats why people that acknowledged not the Christian truth foundation of the country would seem 2nd or third in governance and trade its kind of a logical way to see management of prosperity if righteouness is directly linked with the truth in Christ this is what non converted jews and moslims and others never understand about western society in perticular
listen to God words

VERY GOOD, AGAIN. THANKS.

After listening to the reactions of the so called Sanhedrin, it is no wonder why Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi opposed Napoleon so forcefully.
It is Sanhedrin. Not so-called Sanhedrin.
@@CaesarRenasci I’m sorry. It most certainly was not
As much as humanity has benefited from Jewish contributions in science/medicine/engineering; it might be that French Jews who did engage in “usury” contributed as much or more to French prosperity given the nascent (but burgeoning) state of European finance.
Lol,Theodore hertzi was not french😂

ironic he was galut twice after [mis]handling the commandments?
So depressing. Jewish history seems insane in a modern context.
Where did Napoleon get his "Y" chromosome? Do you know, Henry?
How was Jewish ping-pong back then? ;-)
I do not understand why you wont say this but the first question clearly shows how the French people really feared the growth of the Jewish community, if they can have many wives they will spread faster like Muslims do, also it being the first question shows how big of an issue it was for the French. the coin you showed in the end is just horrible and shows how weak and fearful the Jewish community in France was, to compere this mass murderer Napoleon to Moses is despicable and actually shocking, never heard about such degrading behavior in any other Jewish community in the world. i am Jewish from the mountain Jews of Azerbaijan living in Israel.
Compromise too much???
No one IS above the law. Whatever your faith IS, you are a citizen and subject to the law. Period.
Of course, only laws produced by a democratic and free State, etc. but otherwise what the hell do you mean by too much compromise?
5 minutes into this video and you still don't talk about the title. I gave it a thumbs down.
So Napoleon was the one presenting the Ten Commandments OR was it the other way around? 🧐
Something makes ZERO SENSE in this depiction/ coin situation 😑
Was N that EGOTISTIC? I guess y’allla 😬🖕
Should these 12 questions be asked to the Muslim community of today? Love the hat, does it make him look like a rabbit?

Wow. That Napoleon as Moses-noooo!!!
Yeah, nah. Jews were quite openly accepted in the American South and there was more than one who was not only a Plantation Owner but a Slave Owner as well. The Secretary of State for the Confederacy was himself a practicing Jew. So....your argument just got shot to shit.
Which argument?
@@chatisawasteoftime well when an individual begins an Argument with a patently fallacious statement one can be assured that all after is utter self aggrandizing bullshittery.
@@jameswells554 Nice philosophical statement, but which argument or fallacious statement are you referring to?
In other words, they lied.
Usury enslaved mankind
If you could find "honest" Christians or secular folks who would lend you without an interest or for lower interest, what was the problem except baseless hate?
@@per_unminuto597 The practice enslaves mankind.
Are you having trouble with this concept? Why do you claim hate here?
Economics shows that doing this, especially at higher rates, creates inflation and instability within a nation.
The bankers have enslaved us all and now we are now witnessing the end of decency worldwide. Chaos comes forth for one and all.
I don’t care what culture you’re in.
OMG! A hat for the mythical Jew with mythical horns. Did Napoleon believe that cr ap?
So which crap do you believe?
He chose to wear that hat and I thought it possibly perhaps might be an ironic sarcastic satirical take on the Moses horns fable, I've seen statues with Moses horns many folks believe that. I'm in Minnesota and heard stories from elders who did trade in rural Minnesota and were asked how do they hide their horns, this was 50 plus years ago fwiw

Well, guess what’s coming an American coin depicting Donald Trump as the saviour
Napoleon didn't even exist. Fake character
What are you talking about ?
Nice to hear You again Dr. Abramson. Our family is from the region of this mighty misterios jewish "doublepope". But isnt it too much to declare tiny Napoleon to Mose? Have a nice trip. 🛳 🏛🕍
Sounds like what Napoleon was wary of was ISLAM!
