Make Aliyah .... before it's too late.

Many American Jews have various excuses for not making aliyah, usually complaints about the system in Israel, i.e.

1) I won't be able to make a living in Israel
2) Israel is not a real democracy, it's a banana republic.
3) I wouldn't want to live in a country that expels Jews from their homes
4) Why doesn't Israel defend itself ?

For my brothers in the exile, I would like to point out the following uncomfortable facts:

1) America is broke. The dollar hasn't been fully backed in gold since 1913, and in 1971, the U.S. completely went off the gold standard. So what is the dollar ? It's a piece of paper, an I.O.U. Because of the huge trade deficit, China has $800 billion in reserves, i.e. 800 billion I.O.U.'s.

Japan has a similar amount. When they cash in their dollars, the dollar will free fall and Americans will lose all their savings and will have to bring their money in a wheelbarrow to do grocery shopping like during the Weimar republic

(unless America becomes a cashless society. Then if the government decides that you are causing problems, they can make all your money go away with the push of a button.)

2) America is becoming a dictatorship. While you have been following Paris Hilton's escapades, President Bush has been dismantling the Bill of Rights.

"President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president."

Then there's the military commissions act which overturns habeas corpus, the NSA eavesdropping program, the so-called Patriot act, etc.

3) America is outsourcing all it's jobs. In your future job, you will say,"do you want that with fries?"

Economist Alan Blinder wrote, "... In some recent research, I estimated that 30 million to 40 million U.S. jobs are potentially offshorable."

4) America is becoming a third world country. There are currently 20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and not only is the Bush administration not doing anything to stop the flow, it is doing the opposite, such as throwing border patrol agents in jail for shooting drug dealers. It is also trying to push an amnesty bill through Congress.

These immigrants are not assimilating, they think that America belongs to them, and they are bringing Mexico's corrupt culture to America. Comprende Espanol ?
