Business Application Update

[David Rothstein]

May Yahweh bless the citizens of Freehold!

Rothstein and Associates, LLC. has acquired title to the real property located at 1157 Park St and we have plans to renovate and improve the now defunct Freehold Video Game Exchange. I've followed your intolerance for simpleton video games for some time and was able to purchase the property simply by paying the delinquent property taxes.

Initial meetings with city leaders were less than encouraging, but subsequent meetings were quite productive. I am excited to announce that "Freehold Pawn and Loan" has conditional approval, but subject to final approval by a vote of the citizens before we can open our doors for business.

Although I cannot name the leaders I spoke with, the negotiations were quite straightforward and customary in my line of business. The one-time business "consideration fees" are agreeable, as is the contractual obligation to only hire Christian employees (at Federal minimum wage), with no visible Jewish involvement. Given the substantial income I expect in this lucrative business that I know well, I have no issue remaining in San Francisco as I service the economic needs of your citizens, especially in this economy.

I trust that every one of you realizes that this is an asset to your community and will vote "Yes" on Measure C in November.

May Yahweh bless you!

Shalom

I regret to inform our citizens that we have someone here trying to misrepresent events in Freehold.

First of all, the property mentioned here is not actually available so it is impossible that a Business Permit could have been or will be issued. The Victoria's Secret people tried to do an end run around me and acquire access to this property. To make sure it would be used for a business reflecting the values of our community, it was leased to the Landover Baptist Church. The Church will be opening the Landover Baptist Christian Gift and Book store soon.

Second, pawn and loan businesses are simply not acceptable in a Christian community like Freehold. The idea that Christian people would pay usery on a street level loan, or, sell off some treasured possession, makes a mockery of the Christian way of dealing with financial adversity. Prayer is the proper responce to a personal financial crisis.

What we are seeing, here, is one of Des Moines' ethic minorities trying to gain access to Freehold. Freehold is an equal opportunity City. It is my job as its Mayor to see to it that all businesses and owners are Christian and given an equal opportunity to succeed.

Re: Business Application Update

Brothers and Sisters,
In reading this it seems that this fellow must have the approval of the community and there is to be some sort of referendum to decide will be held in November, I hope that Mayor Hold will address this and explain it to everyone in due time.
I for one will not support this man opening a shop in downtown Freehold. My concerns are for the safety of our children in the community. I don't know if you are aware but there are reports of Joos sacrificing Christian children and using their blood to make their matzah bread for their pagan holidays.

Encyclopaedia Judaica

Blood libels against Jews and Christians in the Middle Ages 1144-1491

<BLOOD LIBEL, the allegation that Jews murder non-Jews especially Christians, in order to obtain blood for the Passover or other rituals....Jews are in some way not human and must have recourse to special remedies and subterfuges in order to appear, at least outwardly, like other men. The blood libel led to trials and massacres of Jews in the Middle Ages and early modern times...

Their was also rumors of them eating babies~

To be victims of this accusation was also the fate of other misunderstood religious minorities. In the second century C.E. the *Church Father Tertullian complained:

"We are said to be the most criminal of men, on the score of our sacramental baby-killing, and the baby-eating that goes with it."

He complains that judicial torture was applied to Christians because of this accusation, for

"it ought ... to be wrung out of us [whenever that false charge is made] how many murdered babies each of us has tasted ... Oh! the glory of that magistrate who had brought to light some Christian who had eaten up to date a hundred babies!"
(Apologeticus, 7:1 and 1:12, Loeb edition (1931), 8, 36).

Between 1144 and 1491 there were reports throughout Europe of Joo's crucifying young boys to Mock Christianity on Good Friday's.

n the first distinct case of blood libel against Jews in the Middle Ages, that of *Norwich in 1144, it was alleged that the Jews had

"bought a Christian child [the 'boy-martyr' William] before Easter and tortured him with all the tortures wherewith our Lord was tortured, and on Long Friday hanged him on a rood in hatred of our Lord."

The motif of torture and murder of Christian children in imitation of Jesus' Passion persisted with slight variations throughout the 12th century (Gloucester, England, 1168; Blois, France, 1171; Saragossa, Spain, 1182), and was repeated in many libels of the 13th century.

In the case of Little Saint Hugh of *Lincoln, 1255, it would seem that an element taken directly from Apion's libel (see above) was interwoven into the Passion motif, for the chronicler Matthew Paris relates,

"that the Child was first fattened for ten days with white bread and milk and then ... almost all the Jews of England were invited to the crucifixion."

The crucifixion motif was generalized in the Siete Partidas law code of Spain, 1263:

"We have heard it said that in certain places on Good Friday the Jews do steal children and set them on the cross (col. 1121)

in a mocking manner."

here are examples of the joos admitting their treachery

Even when other motifs eventually predominated in the libel, the crucifixion motif did not disappear altogether. On the eve of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, there occurred the blood-libel case of "the Holy Child of *La Guardia" (1490-91). There, *Conversos were made to confess under torture that with the knowledge of the chief rabbi of the Jews they had assembled in a cave, crucified the child, and abused him and cursed him to his face, as was done to Jesus in ancient times. The crucifixion motif explains why the blood libels occurred at the time of Passover.

The Jews were well aware of the implications of sheer sadism involved in the libel. In a dirge lamenting the Jews massacred at Munich because of a blood libel in 1286, the anonymous poet supposedly quotes the words of the Christian killers:

"These unhappy Jews are sinning, they kill Christian children, they torture them in all their limbs, they take the blood cruelly to drink" (A. M. Habermann (ed.): Sefer Gezerot Ashkenaz ve-Zarefat (1946), 199).

This ironical "quotation" contains an added motif in the libels, the thirst of the Jew for blood, out of his hatred for the good and true. This is combined in 13th-century Germany with the conception that the Jew cannot endure purity: he hates the innocence of the Christian child, its joyous song and appearance.

This motif, found in the legendary tales of the monk Caesarius of Heisterbach in Germany, underwent various transmutations. In the source from which Caesarius took his story the child killed by the Jews sings erubescat judaeus ("let the Jew be shamed"). In Caesarius' version, the child sings the Salve Regina. The Jews cannot endure this pure laudatory song and try to frighten him and stop him from singing it. When he refuses they cut off his tongue and hack him to pieces.

About a century after the expulsion of the Jews from England the cultural motif only became the basis of Geoffrey *Chaucer's "Prioress' Tale". Here the widow's little child sings the Alma Redemptoris Mater while "the serpent Sathanas, That hath in Jews herte his waspes nest" awakens indignation in the cruel Jewish haeart:

"O Hebraik peple, allas! /
Is this to yow a thing that is honest, /
That swich a boy shal wacken as him lest /
In your despyt, and singe of swich sentence /
Which is agayn your lawes reverence?"

The Jews obey the promptings of their (col. 1122)

Satanic master and kill the child; a miracle brings about their deserved punishment. Though the scene of this tale is laid in Asia, at the end of the story Chaucer takes care to connect Asia explicitly with bygone libels in England, and the motif of hatred of the innocent with the motif of mockery of the crucifixion:

"O younge Hugh of Lincoln, slayn also /
With cursed Jewes, as it is notable, /
For it nis but a litel shyel ago; /
Preye eek for us."

I have found citations of trials through the early 1900's but their are too many to list. I will admit that I have not found any since the 1920's but I will update this if and when I find them.
I do believe everyone should think long and hard if this business is ''right '' for our community. I, for one , know how I will vote.

Re: Business Application Update

I'd like to thank the 179 residents of Freehold I have been in contact with today for your support of my business. As we discussed on the telephone, the cashier's checks in the amount of $100 will be bulk mailed in the morning and are redeemable at any financial institution.

May Yahweh bless Freehold as we move forward with this mutually profitable venture!

Mr. Rothstein--In deference to your determination to proceed, I have made a concession. I have asked the contractor who is now ready to began construction of the Christian Book & Gift enterprise to stand down for a day or so. I've asked the Starbucks people who will have a place inside the store to do the same.

If you would present some, even just one, good argument as to why this loan shark business you propose would be better for Freehold than a Christian book & gift store, I might consent to holding a public referendum on which business to allow at that spot.

Please reply at your earliest.

Re: Business Application Update

Mayor Hold, If the Church book store can be put on hold for a few days, I would appreciate it. I am considering purchasing that parcel of land, and am able to pay considerably more than $100.00. I would like to explore the possibility of demolishing the building and erecting a 5 to 8 story office building in its place. Phebe is now the head of DFAC, (Dewitt Foundation for the Advancement of Christianity) and she is in need of a office building for her world wide headquarters. I will be more than happy to donate one half of the first floor to the Church for a Christian Book store. My people are in the process of coming up with a suitable design. I may be interested in purchasing a few more buildings on the block in question. My wife and I will be employing close to 175 people( Preferably Christian) and we will have a positive impact on the City of Freehold. What would you rather have a new office building that employs 175 people or a Jooish pawn shop? Yours In Christ James Dewitt

Is this some sort of petrie dish that will eventually show the ''jewishness'' spreading across Freehold with the addition of ''customer loans''?

We are so fortunate to live in a City teaming with ideas to make it better.

I believe it is my obligation to review where things stand: We had a building permit filed by Landover Baptist to remodel the property and convert it into a Christian Book and Gift store which included a Starbucks. This permit was approved and work on the site is ready to go.

I temporarily stopped this work from proceeding when I learned that the Freehold City Clerk of Permits, Karen Thompson, had accepted a building permit from a Mr. Rothstein. Mrs. Thompson tells me that she was out of the office the day the Landover permit was processed and that is why she accepted the one from Mr. Rothstein. Mr. Rothstein, in turn, has told me that Mrs. Thompson assured him there would be "no problem" with getting his permit approved. In fact, she marked it "Approved" although she is not authorized to do such a thing.

All this being the case, I await a response from Mr. Rothstein to my question as to why a loan sharking operation is superior to a Christian Book and Gift store (with a Starbucks). I'm sure he will make his case here shortly.

We can then deal with the very progressive proposal from Mr. DeWitt to build a multi use building at the site. He and his lovely wife are such great citizens to have in our City.

In spite of this little snag, I know it is full speed ahead with projects in Freehold.

Re: Business Application Update

Honorable Mayor Hold, and Citizens of Freehold. Attached are two different images. One is of an office building. Its a first draft and most likely will not be the one chosen by Phebe. Its something I threw together last night. The second is a pawn shop, I ask you which would you rather have?

Do you have any idea why Starbucks was chosen to be a partner company?
