Chabad-Lubavitch PR Inc., the giant propaganda machine of the Crown Heights NY based faith, just had its annual agents convention. Many people, unfortunately, as usual, were duped by it, the glitzy, fancy banquet, video coverage, etc.
But in order to really know modern Chabad-Lubavitch, we need to look beyond their many airbrushed and calculated promos. We need to see what Lubavitchers are saying among themselves. Just like with regard to the Middle East, where leaders often say one thing to press, outsiders, in English, but something quite different to their own people in Arabic, or Farsi, and many people are sadly fooled, but there are some, like the organization MEMRI, that monitor such internal media and translate it, to get the truth out to the world, so too with a group like Chabad-Lubavitch. We need to see what they say to each other, to get beyond their massive propaganda deceptions, the staged performances that they put on for the world at large.
For starters, to illustrate this, I will share one example (of numerous) that just came to my attention.
Looking through some Lubavitch news a short while ago, I came across a mind-blowing (no pun intended) story about a very serious Chabad problem, of their "Chassidim" 🤣 using dangerous psychedelic drugs to get high, cope with life, for excitement... (as usual, see not just the post, but the important comments too). Yes, the Hasidic sect that claims to be the intellectual Hasidism, the one bringing Moshiach, that believes their long gone leader is he, is using drugs to keep on going. They preach to others that "Chasidus" has the answers, is the perfect way of life...but the hard facts on the ground in Lubavitch show a very different reality.
Yidden! Wake up! Don't be duped by all the Chabad-Lubavitch propaganda! Don't fall for their scams, don't give them a penny. Instead of them laughing all the way to the bank, after relieving you of your hard-earned money under dubious pretenses, let them go home crying, without a cent in their pockets.

Everything in CH is a lie. Some can deal with the lies and others can't. Maybe that's an oversimplification but not by much.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite shocking, even for Chabad critics (myself included).
ReplyDeleteNot really. Lubavitchers have no belief in Hashem nor His Torah. They have been told by their Rebbe that there are no consequences for sinning. One Chabad Rabbi told me that the Rebbe said there's no such thing as Olam Habo there's only Olam Hazeh and so we live to get as much money as possible. In short, they have no checks and balances for their actions. If they have decent parents they'll probably learn good Middos from them, but if not they are capable of doing horrible things.
DeleteWe need to be careful with the charges leveled here. If extreme charges are brought that are not proven or substantiated (though there may be some truth to them) then Chabad can claim that they were exonerated and are in order. I think the issue with Chabad is more like שיתוף, as with Xtianity. Believing in something along with הקב"ה. For Xtians the other may be J.C., and for Lubavs MMS.
DeleteBig issues with drugs, bu tto be honest absolutely nothing unique to Chabad.
ReplyDeleteIts pervasive every where in the frum community. What is unique to Chabad is the washing their dirty laundry in public discussions. The whole frum world is constantly covering up their issues with themselves or their families and Chabad is just maybe foolishly lacking self respect amd talking openly about their issues.
Its no different that having a discussion about addictions in the frum community that are pervasive of all sorts, but nobody would say that frumkeit causes addictions. It just doesn't necessarily mitigate them. If anything Chassidus is the greatest tool to deal with these issues if one wants to.
Unfortunately problems exist among some elsewhere as well, true. But Chabad-Lubavitch claims to have it all, they claim their late leader was the greatest, they claim the most profound teachings, all their agents around the world, they go around preaching to all and promoting themselves as the greatest, and the answer, all their talk about Moshiach, and here they have these terrible problems among their youth and not so young. What a fraud, what a giant scam.
