Achashveirosh and the Gedolim

No, it's not a new shiny shoe band. While listening to the megillah, I had the same question I, and all, always ask. How was it possible for Achashveirosh to not know that Mordechai and Esther were first cousins and that Esther was a Jew?
And then it hit me, when I thought of another question. How is it possible for the "gedolim" to still be against Slifkin's books, how was it possible to get some gadol to sign on to an obvious wrong and slanderous ban statement?

Quite simple actually. King Ach and the Gedolim live in a walled off palace. Nobody and no information comes in without it being filtered through the servants. King Ach had many other things on his mind, finding a hot-queen one of them, and the gedolim have their own things on their minds. So of course Ach and the Gedolim will act upon only the information they receive. To them, there is no other information out there.
Which, BTW, would be a good way to end this mess. Have the gedolim "fire" their servants and all will be forgiven. (I think.)

The Slifkin thing just doesn't die.

I, along with many other Brooklyn residents, received this today. What I want to know, if people already know that many of the allegations were proven false, why are they still sending it out? Check the date.
I want to know what those rabbanim whose name is on this will do.
Failure in action, will just confirm what many people already know, that the whole "gadol" thing is dead.

I'm sick

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been very busy. Luckily, my thoughts and opinions have been posted by several other bloggers out there so all is not lost.
I will just say that I'm sick. I'm sick and tired of the brainwashed minions running Orthodox Judaism. Mention the word Slifkin and they get all frothy and red-faced ready to explode. Start using logic in your arguments and they just about drop dead from some brain cells perhaps jump starting.

I say it's time for a revolution. Start taking back our religion. Stop sending out checks to organizations with certain rabbis at the helm.

As for the speech at the Siyum Hashas which was a veiled insult at R' Shmuel, for shame. Rumors have it that "he" went down to Philly Thursday night to speak to R' Shmuel. I certainly hope it was to apologize.
