”רבנים אסרו לעלות להר אחרי מלחמת ששת הימים, כי אז היתה הפקרות מוחלטת בעליה להר ולא הבדילו בין תחום הר הבית הרגיל לבין שטח העזרה ולא הוזהרו שצריך ללכת למקוה, מה שאין כן כיום, כשיש מסלול מיוחד לעולים בטהרה במקום שמותר ללכת, ומזהירים את העולים ללכת למקוה לפני העלייה, וכל מי ששומר מצוות הולך במסלול הזה – ובכל זאת הרבנים אינם מוכנים לשקול מחדש את העניין”.

Ki Teitzei: A Radiant Remez Against Overspending on Weddings
In Praise of the Takanah Wedding
Parshas Ki Seitzei
Posted on August 23, 2018 (5778) By Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein | Series: Machshava | Level: Advanced
When a man marries a new wife…he shall be free for his home for one year, and he shall gladden his wife whom he has married. One shall not take a lower or upper millstone as a pledge, for we would be taking a life as a pledge.[2]
The juxtaposition is puzzling. What does the taking of a millstone as a pledge for a loan have to do with getting married? What the Torah may be doing, I believe, is addressing a problem that I see all around me: overspending on lavish wedding celebrations. People spend wildly on fine foods and delicacies, without regard to the impact of their excess. As a result, they find themselves unable to later support their families, and must throw themselves upon the public for support.
This is preposterous. People should gladden the hearts of their new wives; the wedding should be a festive occasion. But it should not come at the cost of someone sacrificing his financial stability, like the debtor forced to hand over his millstone to secure a loan, which prevents him from earning the money he needs to pay back the loan and to support himself. By spending on a lavish wedding, the groom does the same – he sacrifices his financial future. It is as if he took his very life as a pledge.

15 Reasons Media Don’t Do Journalism
Caitlin Johnstone: 15 Reasons Why Media Don’t Do Journalism
There is a much less centralized network of factors which tips the scales of media coverage to the advantage of the U.S. empire and the forces which benefit from it.

If you watch western news media with a critical eye you eventually notice how their reporting consistently aligns with the interests of the U.S.-centralized empire, in almost the same way you’d expect them to if they were government-run propaganda outlets.
The New York Times has reliably supported every war the U.S. has waged. Western mass media focus overwhelmingly on foreign protests against governments the United States dislikes while paying far less attention to widespread protests against U.S.-aligned governments. The only time Trump was universally showered with praise by the mass media was when he bombed Syria, while the only time Biden has been universally slammed by the mass media was when he withdrew from Afghanistan.
U.S. media did such a good job deceitfully marrying Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks in the minds of the public in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq that seven in ten Americans still believed he was connected to 9/11 months after the war began.
That this extreme bias occurs is self-evident and indisputable to anyone who pays attention, but why and how it happens is harder to see. The uniformity is so complete and so consistent that when people first begin noticing these patterns it’s common for them to assume the media must be controlled by a small, centralized authority much like the state media of more openly authoritarian governments. But if you actually dig into the reasons why the media act the way they act, that isn’t really what you find.
Instead, what you find is a much larger, much less centralized network of factors which tips the scales of media coverage to the advantage of the U.S. empire and the forces which benefit from it. Some of it is indeed conspiratorial in nature and happens in secret, but most of it is essentially out in the open.
Here are 15 of those factors.
