Debar-Agenda

Debar- Agenda You can see what I’m doing here with this blog. I have taken the Debar- Agenda of the Bible/Torah and Prophets (Sorry I haven’t translated any more than those two) and through that lens we are considering the two most influential Jews in the previous century Henry Kissinger and Alan Greenspan. They both come from a Central European refugee back ground. Both live growing up in Washington Heights, both go to the same high school and both live in the largest Jewish city on the planet at a time when Holocaust is happening and millions of Jews will be swept away because they did not travel out as refugees… And seemingly disconnected from this –his mind jam backed with numbers and music we have under the microscope this individual who is generously sharing with us his biography. So when he says are things that are important to him and reflect his view of the world…. Against which is set the Measuring Standard- Dan 5. As maybe we as historians (Persian Fire –Tom Holland) seek to understand just why Great Babylon fell that night- Or in Empire State we could be as prophets considering how the fall of empires and things happening in the Queens park of Flushing Meadows critical for what is the hope and aspiration of the God of Israel.

Between classes we’d hang out in Washington Square Park watching the girls, and when things were slow we’d hum Mozart piano concerti to each other and ask; ‘What number was that?’…. But my primary obsession was maths. Professor like diligent students and my eagerness to apply myself must have been obvious. My first paid job as an economist came during the summer of my junior year. My statistical professor , Geoffrey Moore who later became the Commissioner of Labor Statistics under President Nixon called me in and told me to go over to Brown Brother Harriman to see a partner. Brown Brother Harriman was among the oldest largest and most prestigious investment banks- W. Averell Harriman the legendary statesman had been a general partner before going to work for Roosevelt. Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of Presidents Bush served as a partner before and after his tenure in Senate. The firm was literally on Wall Street right near the stock exchange and the morning I went to see Mr Banks was the first time I’d ever set foot in such a place. Walking those offices with their gilded ceilings and roll top desks and thick carpets was like entering the inner sanctum of venerable wealth- it was an awesome feeling for a kid from Washington Heights…’ p30-31 Alan Greenspan 2007. Systems need loyal workers and it is vital for those holding power in Empire State to be able to induct people who will loyally serve the Empire and thus we have a young raw recruit being inducted into the very Lower Manhattan heart of that empire. Now the Empire itself in the city of New York has 10 different parts which interconnect. Rev 17- Prostitution is the highest- glue which allows the parts to stick and flow. Clearly the Gangs Mafia is not part of Alan’s story, nor are religious institutions, so we can ignore those city gods. But the Federal-Washington connection is strong with the name Harriman, the Universities have talent spotted young Alan as a likely boy for the men, (Where are we –that is five down five more to go) Being on Manhattan young Alan doesn’t cross the harbor so count out the Harbor Authority going on to build World Trade Towers, And where is Alan located? Well finally yes Wall Street – Business and Harriman connects them to –Banks and has strong international involvements –but that also is not part of the story yet. Ten gods and four of them: University, Federal connection, Business and Banks work in young Alan’s career here. Three gods have been discounted –Religion, Mafia, Harbor Authority-they lurk in the background; City hall and Music/Media are just part of Alan’s day to day life and the - United Nations will emerge…The sexual side of things we are not going to even go there OK!
