As his song elucidates "if you get sick being called an antisemite, you are an antisemite... If you are an anti-zionist but hearing free the hostages gets you pissed, you are an antisemite..." In the case of Nick and Tucker neither of them ever mentioned the plight of civilians who were kidnapped and tortured by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who also recorded themselves massacring scores of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Jewish members of Israeli society. In our interview Ephie also goes against the 10% of Jews throughout history who  are routing for the people that want Jews to die just to be accepted by society. Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    Targeting Jews and Latinos: Perspectives on the War of Ideologies and the Rhetoric of Antisemitism on Returnees to Judaism Presentation. Delivered on August 11th 2025 as part of the Finding Your Voice panel at 35th SCJS conference.

    In this week show we feature two presentations from the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies Conference. As we study the modern phenomenon of the descendants of the Anusim reclaiming their Sephardic Jewish heritage, we must point out that Jews and Latinos have a lot in common. For instance, in contemporary American culture Jews are still being maligned as the scary other, suspicious chameleon or enemies of Christianity (I will cite specific examples at the end of this document). At the same time, Latinos are often dismissed as invaders, illegitimate members of society and are seen as possible criminal elements infiltrating North American society. In my research on the subject I have found that the challenges faced by both Latin American immigrants and those who found out about their Jewish heritage are intertwined. Currently Jews have lost the admiration of the public and Latinos are often underrepresented in popular culture. There is also the depiction of Jews as an eternal boogeyman and in the Jewish community the concept of the “marrano” is used as a stand-in for a “bad Jew.” Ashkenasi Jews speak of Crypto-Jews similarly to the Spanish term “inadaptado;” someone who does not work well with others and can’t find their place in the world. Growing up in Mexico I was shocked when I found out that the term ladino commonly used as a synonym for scoundrel was connected to the Sephardic language used in the Mediterranean. Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

A quote from his first book: “While my doctoral dissertation was based on how shame motivates and manipulates our lives, it’s been my experiences in corporate America, professional ministry, and as an adoptive father our four African American children that have led me to a new understanding of the power shame has over our lives and the daily decisions we make.  I have seen the effects of shame in my own destructive decisions from breaking my hand punching a wall to entering professional ministry.  It’s my hope that I can bring awareness to this hidden ‘killer’ so we can go about disarming it before it does any more damage.”Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

The host of “Skeptoid: Critical Analysis of Pop Media” he shares about how conspiracy shows are supporting flawed thinking for people who already have preconceived notions about some topics. We call this episode “The Alex Jones Factor” as many similar conspiracy theorists and “entertainers” have sprung up all over the AM radio.

    Kanye West's "Heil Hitler" Song Review (A More Excellent Way Monthly Report)

    In this week's show we discuss the disgusting new song by "Ye" aka Kanye West called "Heil Heitler". In our a monthly rant we delve into the reasons why Russell Brand and others are supporting this vitriol against the Jews."The song features a synth-heavy and orchestral instrumental, including marching band styled drums during its bridge. For the hook, West and his group the Hooligans chant "All my niggas Nazis, nigga, heil Hitler." West's first verse details the current state of his life, including his custody battle and the freezing of his assets, using them as justification for why he "became a Nazi". The song ends with a sample taken from a 1935 Adolf Hitler speech. The speech is in German, and translates to:"If you consider the work I'm doing to be right, if you think I have been diligent, that I have worked, that I have advocated for you this year, that I have spent my time honestly in the service of my people, then cast your vote! If so, then stand up for me like I have stood up for you!""Source: WikipediaMystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    A More Excellent Way Monthly Report

    We start a new tradition, a monthly rant. A sermon, speech or discussion about the world and how we can make it better. 17 year ago I attempted to start a new organization at 27 years old I had worked for a few non-profits and was idealistic still a little naive. Not only was I put through the ringer having worked for a refugee agency assisting HT victims but I had been an organizer for a union, a case manager at a detention center for immigrants but worked as a legal assistant at an immigration law firm. After all these experiences I was ready to take on the world by creating a ministry or non-profit that kept the vision of MLK alive. It’s name was A More Excellent Way a phrase used by him quoting the writings of the apostle Paul. 1 Corinthians 12:31 "Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way." Reverend Doctor King is pointing to the Way of Love described by Paul as "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant..." connecting to the peaceful nature of the Jesus Movement and the Jewish concept of Chessed or loving-kindness which became a foundational component of the Civil Rights movement. This week, I came across the most ridiculous argument among progressives it is between Cenk Uger from The Young Turks, Sam Seder from The Majority Report and the always controversial Jimmy Dore anti-war comedian activist that I follow closely. Sam and the young lady he co-hosts with in their weekly show on YouTube were sharing "old gossip” about their interactions while part of the Young Turks. All this came about because they believe that Ana Casperian and Cenk are going right wing in an effort to get more viewers. There are many conspiracies from Sam and Jimmy that TYT is a front for the democratic party which attempts to behave in a liberal way to attract young people to the party and then always folds to the institutional party or the establishment narrative from the corporate donors when needed. According to Sam Seder TYT was one of the most popular shows on YouTube at one point and now it has turned into a clown show. Seder also attacks Jimmy Dore for some reason which I found unfair as he often calls out politicians from both sides of the political spectrum specially as People are dying, the world is getting worse. I would be the first to call him an "A Tool of the Antisemitic/Conspiratorial Left" but he actually speaks about the possibility of nuclear war, the deep state, the evil perpetrated by both parties and the need to fight for the poor. Although he has attempted to get single payer healthcare for all by pressuring Bernie Sanders, AOC and other candidates, he has turned into the mouthpiece of the radical anti-Israel section of the left by sharing his ontological disdain for Jews which comes from conspiracies and his mostly Roman Catholic upbringing. Although politics are messy I believe we can overcome this confusion through steering back the peace movement to a Spiritual Consciousness found in MLK writings.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail Reading and Reflection

    "Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]"16 April 1963My Dear Fellow Clergymen:While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collecMystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    Omer Bartov vs. David Josef Volodzko Regarding Genocide

    In this weeks show Journalist David Josef Volodzko returns. The controversial author had an exchange with Genocide expert Omer Bartov. Dr. Bartov wrote an article in The Guardian arguing The State of Israel is guilty of genocide. Volodzko responding to the accusation of Genocide is presented after reading Omer Bartov essay in this episode. His email response to Bartov is below:“Mr. Bartov, I read your moving essay in The Guardian this morning. It is maybe one of the more powerful essays I have read of this nature since Oct 7. I do not see the case for genocide, but I do feel it is important to humanize both sides of this conflict, as you have done. I wish there was more writing like this out there. I am surprised that you wrote of the "utter inability of Israeli society today to feel any empathy..." I would argue for the removal of "utter" and "any" and I have seen videos of Israelis being interviewed and, even after Oct 7, expressing compassion for the people of Gaza. Perhaps you have also seen such videos. I have also spoken to my Israeli friends. Only the most extreme far-right have literally zero compassion for the Gazans. But this is a minor point in an overall impressive call for rachamin.”He replied, but only to thank me for my message. He did not actually engage any of my points. Frankly, I find his argument absurd. In the video you sent, he claims that Israel is guilty of genocide because Gazans have no place left to run.This ignores the geopolitical and military realities of this war. And I do not care that Bartov is widely regarded as a genocide expert. He has that reputation because he is a historian of the Holocaust. That does not give him expertise in assessing all types of genocide or all types of military conflict. And despite my respect for his humanity and compassion, and his staggeringly impressive historical work on the Holocaust, I personally think his understanding of genocide, or applkication of that understanding to this specific conflict, is stunningly ignorant.No act of violence is genocidal unless it has genocidal intent. Period. You can kill only five people and it can be genocidal violence. You can kill 100,000 and it may not be genocidal whatsoever. Genocide must have the intention of erasing an ethnic group, or attempting to do so. Bartov is instead using Ibram X. Kendi's definition of racism, adapted to the concept of genocide. Namely, that if the results mirror the results you would get from racism, then it is racism. Or, if you see many people being trapped and killed as you would expect to see in a true genocide, then it is genocide.This is asinine. Again, genocide is the attempt to kill off an entire ethnic group. Hence genos- + -cide. So if someone wants to claim that Israel intends to kill all Palestinians, they are first going to have to explain why 20% of Israel is Palestinian. It's a pretty fucking weird form of genocide that gives citizenship and social welfare benefits to the ethnic group you are trying to wipe out of existence, or allows them into your own government, and even collects terrorists of that ethnicity who have slaughtered your own children — and treats them, saving their lives, even the lives of theMystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
