Great, even if you do not completely follow the model and the logic behind the model and so on, we do not have to worry about it. Modeling is not part of this course. You are given a rotational dynamics of a rigid body. This works for any rigid body system, quadrotors, UAVs, satellites, even underwater rigid bodies. Yeah, does not matter. It has to be a rigid body. That is it. If you are flexible, then this inertia may not be constant and there is more complications there. Flexibilities give rise to bigger challenges. This is not a good model for flexible systems. But if you have any rigid body system, this is a good model. Notice because it is a satellite system, so gravity etc. is missing here. So, if you are working with again something that is on earth or underwater or whatever, then you have to have gravity. If you have viscous damping and things like that, those also have to be added in the dynamics equation. But kinematics is exactly the same. And the dynamics is actually evolving on a linear space. No problem, omega is on a R3. So, nice, good. What I have mentioned now is that I am going to take the output as omega. So, because I am looking at a cascade connection sort of a thing. Now, if you notice, omega is an input to this system. So, let us see. We are going back to this cascade of a passive system with some nonlinear stable system. So, omega is an input to this system. If omega is 0, then the system is passive and linear. Sorry, system is stable because if omega is 0, there is nothing on the right hand side. Rho dot equal to 0 is a stable system. Nothing to do. It is a stable system. So, I am already done with my first assumption that if this in output is not there, then my system is stable. So, good. So, ticked one box. The next question is this system passive. We have to check whether the system is passive. So, that is what I am saying in the beginning. With omega equal to 0, Rho dot equal to 0 is stable. So, I can actually choose any function w. With any function w, this is stable. Later on, of course, I will specify what function w we should choose. But because I am left with Rho dot equal to 0, this is stable with any function w. I do not have to worry about what function w to choose. I can choose any positive definite radial and bounded w and I am good. You can have Rho square, Rho 4, anything, anything. Excellent. So, that is good. For passivity of this system, I am going to choose this. This should again remind you of what you did with the robotic system.  This is exactly the rotational kinetic energy. This is the expression for the rotational kinetic energy. And this is, of course, radially unbounded and all that. So, what, of course, I have given you this is an exercise. You have to show that v dot is actually less than equal to u transpose y. It is too easy. It is like you have to write one line here. It is just one sentence. You just have to remember that there is this q symmetric, there is a cross product happening here. You have to just remember there is a cross product happening here. If you take a v dot, you are going to get omega transpose j omega dot and you just plug in j omega dot from here. And that is it. So, it is very, very easy to conclude that v dot omega is actually less than equal to u transpose y with y being omega itself. So, that you have to verify. So, obviously, what we have shown is that we have a driver system which is passive in this u y combination. And we of course, have this rho system which is being driven and that is stable in the absence of the output y. So, we are done. These are the only two assumptions that we require for the previous result to hold. So, what do we know? We know that the entire system is passive with this new output v and y where the u that is the earlier output u is just v minus this guy. Where am I getting this expression from? This is just this expression. I have just populated this. The original input is just the new input and this lgv type term. That is what this is. This is in fact, partial of w with respect to rho and then this guy. This is precisely what is multiplying the omega and that is all. And what do we know? We know that the new system is now passive with this input output combination. And then what? Then life is too easy. I have actually asked you to do this as an exercise. I have now given you a choice of w. I am not asking you to choose any arbitrary w. This is simply so that the structure of the feedback looks nice. That is all. If you choose this w which is k log natural 1 plus rho transpose rho, a weird looking choice.  Zero state observability is anyway there. We do not have to worry about it. But anyway, you have to verify that also. That you have in fact, zero state observability, not necessarily detectability. We in fact, have zero state observability. So, all you have to do is pop. You just have to put this w in this expression here. That is it. Because that is what is going to give you your control. And once you have that, zero state observability anyway, you have to verify with this for this particular output omega. So, what does that mean? It means that if omega is 0, then you want to show that rho and omega are 0. So, omega was anyway 0. If omega is 0, omega is already 0, you only have to show that rho is also 0. So, you want to sort of look at that. Because that will come from your feedback expression. Remember, zero state observability has to be verified in the absence of the input. So, this expression. So, notice that in order to check zero state observability, you typically will say that if omega is 0, we also know that omega dot has to remain 0. This is how we go about checking. Zero state observability is exactly like the Lassalle argument. So, if you want to omega to stay at 0, you need omega dot to be also 0. Which means that the entire right-hand side has to be 0. Control was already has to be 0 to check zero state observability. This term is already 0. So, all you will have is that this term should also be 0. And this term you will notice will bring in the rho. And you will be able to claim that this equal to 0 is the same as rho equal to 0. And you will be able to claim zero state observability like you need. You just have to carefully take the partial and so on. And finally, once you have that the entire system is passive with this input-output combination, you know that I can choose my V as a function of the output. That is minus phi omega. In fact, I can essentially, I am just giving an example. I could for example, choose V as minus k tan hyperbolic omega. And this is enough to give me global asymptotic stability. So, the complete feedback is not just this. Remember, it is this along with this. There are two terms. Because this I already prescribed, the real input that goes to the thruster of the actuator would be U, not just V. So, V is only one piece. So, the V piece is this. And then there is something more which comes from here. This is the actual control law or the actual control that command, control command that you send to the actuators. But you know that with this combination you will have global asymptotic stability. So, this is again something rather nice and powerful. So, you can see that even for this within half a page almost, I can come up with a feedback law, stabilizing feedback for a rather non-linear system like the rigid body attitude dynamics. And this also a saturated feedback by the way. This is bounded feedback. In fact, you will notice that there is some nice properties of the first part also. This part also has some nice properties. You will get some nice saturated feedback. So, again rather powerful result. Within half a page, if you can actually solve this problem, usually when I do it without knowledge of passivity, you will need a little bit more work. It is not this straightforward. But here in this case, because you are actually employing this idea of passivity interconnected with a cascade connection with a stable system, you have this nice simple construction of feedback. And these two exercises that I have given you are actually rather short. Anyway, even for this case, you will have numerics to do. So, I will give you inertia values and initial conditions. Actually, that is why I need to give you some inertia values and some initial conditions for omega and rho. And you will actually be implementing this controller and seeing how it performs. Make sense? Alright? Okay.


The proof of electric mobility especially when it comes to four wheelers is going to come from fleet operators before it goes into personal mobility. The reason for that is because the economics today are just support that because you need to have run a particular number of kilometers on a day to day basis in order to make sense of your unit economics when it comes to running electric vehicles against internal combustion engine vehicle. And the number of kilometers required for that it's possible for a fleet operator like BlueSmart today to do that but for a personal use car you don't drive so many kilometers so on a unit economics level it doesn't make so much sense to shift from an internal combustion engine vehicle to an electric vehicle. So the initial traction is all going to come from these electric fleet operators, the connected fleet operators such as us. Also scaling up our charging infrastructure, we're partnering with various companies, we're partnering with various people who want to deploy cars on our platform, we're scaling the rough and then slowly users are going to, if you come to Burgaon today you will see our BlueSmart car, you will see the blue cars running on the road, it just offers a very very nice feeling, people ask you what is an electric car, they want to ride in it, there's that entire sense of inquisitiveness, curiosity in the customer right. So that is very important when you're actually trying to establish electric mobility and we're just very happy to say that we're doing that today and we're really looking to make India electric you know really. First of four wheelers, as of today with four wheelers it's very difficult to do battery swapping because the cost as well as the weight of the battery is you know nearly 50% of the weight of the car right and it's built in a very integrated manner so it's very difficult to swap the battery out and you know put in a new battery, however you can do that with two wheelers, three wheelers and currently even for buses right. So the way we operate today is basically fast chargers and slow chargers to basically keep our fleet fueled, we have a lot of algorithms in place that actually tell us when to charge the vehicle, where to charge the vehicle so on and so forth and yeah that's how we go about it, we're definitely looking at you know all when BlueSmart itself is an electric mobility company, four wheelers is a step along the journey and you know we're currently expanding our fleet and we're going to expand our four wheeler operation, we would love to get into the other sectors as well and there are definitely things in the pipeline that we should be able to show very soon.


Does every tent need seam sealing? Not all tents need seam sealing but it's recommended to seam seal any tent that is not already factory sealed or that has been used extensively. If you notice water seeping through the seams of your tent it's a sign that you need to seam seal it. If you're unsure whether your tent needs seam sealing or not check the manufacturer's recommendations or contact them directly for any advice. It's important to take care of your gear so it can take care of you. Thanks for watching and enjoy your next dry camping adventure!


Saudi Arabia says it is committed to strengthening ties with Nigeria ahead of the Saudi-Africa summit to be held in November 2023. The country's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir said his country looks forward to hosting President Bola Mertin at the summit. The Saudi Special Envoy to Nigeria told the State House correspondents after meeting with the Nigerian leader that discussions on bilateral relations were held at the Nigerian-Saudi Arabia are cooperating closely to deal with several challenges such as climate change, issues around sustainable development goals and combating extremism and terrorism. Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tugas said Nigeria seeks to strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia in the area of hydrocarbon and areas of energy transition. Adel Al-Jubeir, I had the great honor and the pleasure of visiting with the President of Nigeria to convey to him the greetings of his Majesty, the custodian of the Tuval-e-Mas King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud and his Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz. We discussed bilateral relations. Our two countries have enjoyed historic and very positive ties. We cooperate in virtually all areas. We have very strong people-to-people ties. We are members of OPEC and OPEC, and we are also members of the United States Islamic countries. We have very strong tribal and familial ties. And we believe that we are very cooperating very closely to deal with the challenges facing our world, whether it's climate change. That would be the Minister of State, Sheikh Adel Al-Jubeir, who visited today as a special envoy of his Royal Highness, the King and the Crown Prince to discuss matters of bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. And as you know, we've had very, very good and close relations with Saudi Arabia going back decades. So this further strengthens the relationship. The several areas that were discussed were both hydrocarbon producers, were both responsible hydrocarbon producers. We're looking at the future. We're looking at energy transition. And the minister actually also pointed out that there was-


The Larissus Wellness Centre went up in flames mysteriously over seven years ago, according to the parliamentary representative for Denry North, Sean Edward, the absence of the health facility has created much distress for residents. As a result, the Richfair Wellness Centre was left to fill the void, having to serve overwhelming numbers of clients at times. The Denry North MP says the reinstatement of the facility will not only benefit the residents but also the overburdened staff at the Richfair facility. For a number of years now, we've had to rely on the Richfair Health Facility to service all of the Mauia Valley and environments. So with the recommissioning of the Larissus Wellness Centre, I think it will ease the burden on the Richfair facility. The personnel, doctors, nurses and other health providers who operate from Richfair, I'm sure they too will welcome the reinstatement of the Larissus facility. The Denry North MP recognises the need to encourage healthy living, particularly in the Denry North Basin, which has been marked as having high records of non-communicable diseases. Principal Nursing Officer Jolita Federic-Casius says the community nursing unit is extremely pleased so far with the site plans presented. When the facility does reopen, we hope to increase the medical services that we would have offered previously, so we want to increase that as well. And also the environment, the office spaces will be more convenient and comfortable, more spacious. With that all, we are very pleased to say that we have additional spaces that have been allocated to the consultation rooms, so it means that the clinicians, the staff, would have a bit more comfort to operate within and of course we know our clients as well would be very satisfied with the services once they access the services when we reopen. The Ministry's Chief Medical Officer Dr Sharon Belmont George elaborated further on the additional services to be provided at the facility. We are happy for the increased spacing, the bigger facility, which will give us the chance to increase our medical clinics, also to increase the services that we provide, such as internal medicine and also dental services will be provided at that facility, while we continue to provide the services that were there previously, we will also be providing pediatric care. Permanent Secretary Jenny Daniel says the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs continues on the road to the universal health care reform, while also strengthening its health systems and supporting infrastructure. Our key words are accessibility and affordability. The construction of this wellness centre really is reflective of our strive towards making health care more accessible to all communities, no matter how remote, how distant they may be, to make those health services that they need a lot more accessible. So the reconstruction of this wellness centre falls in line and is very much in keeping with that perspective and that goal of the Ministry of Health. Also we of course are aware that many of the persons who access our health facilities are elderly, so again in keeping consistently with our mandate to look after elderly, the elderly affairs mandate. Health Minister Moses Jabattis says many of the other facilities on island have already begun the process of reform and refurbishment. We are increasing access to quality health care and specialist services at the Ancillary Wellness Centre, Souffre Hospital, Viewport Wellness Centre and Bosili Poly Clinic and we are looking at the castries urban polyclinic. So the same thing goes here for the Larissus Wellness Centre. We will be increasing services, you have heard about the new dental services which will be available, but also we are hoping that over time we can increase specialist services so that the people in the Mabuiah Valley and the communities that surround the Mabuiah Valley can get access to quality health care services. The Larissus Wellness Centre reconstruction project is set to be well on the way for a July 2024 completion.

This is stock number 20J21. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Your new and used Jeep and Jeep Wrangler headquarters. Today we are checking out this brand new 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara in Ocean Blue Metallic. We're going to do a walk around here so you can see the Jeep, an actual lighting, an actual vehicle from all the different angles and then we're going to get up close and go over the options specific to this vehicle. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it's like you're right here looking at the vehicle with me and definitely your best way to check out the vehicle before seeing it in person. If you want to check out all the photos in the upper right hand part of your screen is a link right to our website so click that and check us out there. This one has the Bridgestone Duler HT tires and these are on 18 inch rims, they're 255.70 R18s. You've got the Granite Crystal painted inserts on the polished aluminum rims. This is a highway tread on these tires. You'll notice this one has the color match fenders and the LED lighting group so you get the LED lights in the front fender, you get the LED running lights, the LED headlamps and you also get the LED fog lamps down here. You get the silver inserts on the front grille. This one has the 2 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder motor with e-torque which pumps out 270 horsepower. In blue definitely one of my favorite colors on the Wranglers. This one's no exception. For me it would be either Mojito Green or this color or maybe even that Bikini. We're going to take a look at the original buyer's guide here. Feel free to pause this video to check out all the options, I'm not going to get too in depth with it but it does have the navigation system, backup camera, Alpine premium system, the LED lighting group and the 2 liter and 8 speed. Also the safety group which gives you the backup parking sensors and the blind spot monitoring. Front crash, 4 stars and a roll over of 3 and you see with the 2 liter you get 22 highway, 21 city for an average of 21. Leather interior on this one which we'll get to in just a minute. The running boards come standard with the Sahara package. You'll also notice it has the color match hard top which is a really nice piece. I think it really makes this one pop. This one has the backup camera, matching spare and tire of course. Those parking sensors are nicely hidden in the plastic there. You also get the LED tail lamps and LED license plate lights. So back here we have the Alpine subwoofer. You also have the storage bin back here. This is actually the mat that goes in the storage bin but a lot of room back here. You also have your door hinge holders, door hinge bolt holders and roof holders and windshield bolt holders. That's the soft top for the front or that's the case for the front hard top pieces and the factory subwoofer. See the bars are all color matched. The electrical and windshield washer fluid. They can get stored in there now which is a nice feature as well and those seats do go down flat. You can see it has cup holders in there too. They made these tailgates a lot lighter. You also have the badge back there for the JL giving you some of the dimensions and stuff. Those doors swing so much smoother. You can just tell they're not as heavy and go close a lot easier. You have the T50 on the door hinges which tells you which torques are used. So blind spot monitoring. You get blind spot monitoring in the mirror. That's what that triangle is. These mirrors are also heated.  Sahara stitched into the backrest. The white stitching on the seat. Factory floor mats throughout on this one. This one comes with automatic headlamps. You get the tilt and telescopic steering wheel which is new for the JL. That locks into place like so. You also have the 7 inch display here. Digital spinometer outside temperature and compass display and instrument cluster is really good looking. New tooth and information center controls on the left. Cruise controls on the right and then audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Like I said this one comes with the factory navigation system. This is the 8.44C radio. 4C basically tells you that it has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities and it also has AMFM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. Not all of them come with the navigation one. This one does. I always want to point out these backup cameras. How HD they are, I mean they are so crystal clear and they have the dynamic grid lines so they turn when you turn the steering wheel which is really cool. And you have all your climate controls. You can also do your climate controls up on the radio but if you're wearing gloves like I am or just don't like the touch screen you can do your climate controls down here. Basically the only thing you can't do down here for the climate controls well it used to be I see now they have a mode button so that's a mute point too.  Stability control backup parking sensors you can turn those off as well. Downhill assist control and you can turn the whole screen off. There are your power window buttons and you do have a media center here with an AUG's USB and USB-C hook up there. You get your 4x4 shifter on the floor or in the center console here. You also have the little wrangler symbol on top of the 8 speed automatic. These JL keys are really heavy duty. They flip open like so. The buttons are nice and big, easy to see and they say Jeep on the back and all that stuff. The under seat also has the Sahara stitched into the backrest. The front roof pieces and the back roof piece you get that crushed eggshell finish to them. Looks really good and they come off a lot like the JKs did. There's two clamps right there and then there's a couple quick releases. The only thing they really changed is that you don't get those holders that turn into the ceiling. You don't get those anymore. I think they realized a lot of people just took those and the JKs and kind of lost them or threw them away. Up here you have an assist and SOS buttons, auto dimming mirror and you also have your home link buttons which you could not get in a JK and you got a little paper clip holder right there. We'll take a quick look at the back seats. Also these JLs have side current airbags now, standard. That was not the case with the JKs.  There's a lot more room in between the back of the seats and here, leg room. Also if you're putting car seats back here it's much more convenient to do that. 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in and you do get two USBs and kind of hard to see here but two USB C's under there as well. Factory floor mats. These seats do fold down and they go down really nice and flat. They got a nice cover here so nothing's going to fall in between there and that headrest is actually the cup holder if you remember from what we were looking at before. Anyways, last but not least there's the child safety locks on the back doors and we're just going to do one more quick walk around. I got about a minute left in my video and I'd really like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you'll have been able to tell just the styling points and get a little bit idea of the actual options on this particular Jeep and I really hope you enjoyed the video and if you want to check out more pictures of this vehicle or one of our other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, wranglers, you name it we got it go to our website www.summitauto.com.

after Obama intervened in the 2020 Democratic Party primary to prop up Joe Biden's dying campaign and get everyone else to drop out and coalesce around Joe Biden, he decided to join a live stream with Joe Biden and he made matters even worse than he already did. He proceeded to whitewash George W. Bush's legacy all so he can attack Donald Trump, make it seem as if Donald Trump is a unique evil in the United States and not just a trend of you know gradually evil presidents who commit war crimes and do bad things. Take a look. I am here to say that help is on the way if we do the work because there's nobody that I trust more to be able to heal this country and get it back on track than my dear friend Joe Biden. I don't think I have to reiterate the situation that we find ourselves in right now. Things were tough in 2008-2009. We were going through the worst recession since the Great Depression, a massive financial crisis. We were still in the midst of two wars. We I think were overcoming a decade in which the possibilities of common work and common purpose had been diminished and downgraded and government had been starved of the resources that were needed to make us a more equal and unjust and compassionate society. And yet I have to say that the foundation stones, the institutions that we had in place were still more or less intact. My predecessor, who I disagreed with on a whole host of issues, still had a basic regard for the rule of law and the importance of our institution's democracy. On the world stage, there was still a sense that America needed to lead and that that leadership meant that as imperfect as we might be, there were certain ideals and values that we were going to aspire to and advance and that we cared about human rights and we cared about battling against the oppression of people's in distant lands and that we tried to uphold both in our own country but around the world, certain core principles around rule of law and the universal dignity of people and the need for us to provide assistance to those who were suffering either from natural catastrophes or because of under development, a sense that our alliances were important and that we should stand up for democracy and human rights. And so as challenging as those times were, and as much of a slog as it was to yank the economy out of the economic crisis that it was in, and in some ways things were tougher in terms of the financial system than they are today, but there was still a sense of a shared American idea that we could build on. And what we have seen over the last couple of years is a White House enabled by Republicans in Congress and a media structure that supports them that has not just differed in terms of policy but has gone at the very foundations of who we are and who we should be. This is infuriating to me because you can attack Donald Trump, orange man bad, we get it right, but you don't have to rehabilitate George Bush's legacy in order to attack Donald Trump in order to make a point about Donald Trump. You don't have to do this. And in 10 years, 12 years down the line, when we get someone worse than Donald Trump, someone like Tom Cotton or Matt Gates, an actual violent fascist in the White House, they're going to rehabilitate Donald Trump.  They have a really short memory and they are going to say and do whatever suits the narrative that they're trying to communicate at that given time. But here's the thing, if you and Michelle like George W. Bush so much Obama, how about this, since you're both war criminals who should be prosecuted for committing crimes against humanity, how about we be kind to you and let you share a jail cell with him? You and George W. Bush can have a separate cell away from Donald Trump. How about that? So the Love Fest can continue. It's just this is so frustrating and any time you have someone come out of Donald Trump's administration and they turn on Donald Trump, Anthony Scaramucci, I mean Amorosa, it doesn't matter who, automatically that person is a member of the resistance. No, they're part of the problem. Stop rehabilitating bad people. And we're starting to kind of see this now with John Bolton. And you know, I talked about John Bolton's book because if what he's saying is true about Donald Trump saying that we should execute journalists, that's a really big deal, right? But in the process, I think that mainstream media, what they end up doing inadvertently is legitimizing these people who should not be legitimized. We can do two things at once. We can acknowledge that John Bolton is giving us some information about Donald Trump that is valid, perhaps. But at the same time, we have to acknowledge that John Bolton should be in prison for the rest of his life for his involvement in the Iraq war. Like we can't just give people a pass if they are terrible human beings, especially if they're war criminals. Looking at Henry Kissinger as well and Democrats trying to rehabilitate him, Madeline Albright, I mean we have to stop looking at these people because they're not Donald Trump and therefore are good by definition. That's not the way that things work. But let's get to some specifics here. So first, Obama talks about the situation in 2008 and how we were in the midst of two wars. Guess what? We're still in the midst of those two wars because you didn't get us out of those two wars. Like Obama, and the 2008 election, he materialized at the moment when I was kind of having my political awakening that hinged on my aversion to the Iraq war. I was very anti-war. I was against it. And he let me down. That was my first experience with the Democratic Party and American politics.  So don't just casually say, oh well we were in the midst of two wars. We're still in the midst of two wars and you had the power to do something and you didn't. He also says, my predecessor who I disagreed with on a whole host of issues still had the basic, still had a basic regard for the rule of law and the importance of our institutions and democracy. I cannot believe he just said that. George W. Bush had a regard for the rule of law. First and foremost, he started an illegal war. The Iraq war was illegal. He also signed the Patriot Act into law. He tortured human beings. Under George W. Bush, he decimated the Fourth Amendment. He decimated the Eighth Amendment. And you have the audacity to claim that he supported the rule of law. What are you talking about? So it's not just like he's trying to rehabilitate George W. Bush and focus on the more positive elements of his administration. Not that there were any. But he's literally lying to you. Obama is smart enough to know that George W. Bush had no respect for the rule of law. But he's lying about George W. Bush because this makes Donald Trump look bad. I mean, because you can't just criticize Donald Trump without making it seem as if George W. Bush was a good president. No, he was a worse president than Donald Trump. He was more destructive than Donald Trump. Now, he also said on the world stage, there was still a sense that America needed to lead and that that leadership meant that as imperfect as we might be, there were certain ideas and values we were going to aspire to in advance and that we cared about human rights and we care about battling against the oppression of peoples in distant lands. So he's bringing up two things. First of all, when it comes to the world wanting us to lead, no, that's just not true because poll after poll after poll showed that citizens in other countries viewed the United States as one of if not the biggest threat to world peace and international security. So that's just wrong. When it comes to our commitment to human rights, LOL, because Obama sat on his ass and waited to see how things would quote unquote play out at Standing Rock while armed mercenaries brutalized peaceful protesters at Standing Rock. Okay, Obama had a super majority. He could have created a single pair healthcare system, but instead he gave us a Republican plan. Now, sure, that was better than nothing, but he could have crafted a single pair system that would have saved lives, thousands of lives every single year. He didn't do that. I thought you cared about human rights on top of that. In 2014, when Israel had their incursion into Gaza and they were bombing hospitals, what did Obama do? Just tepidly condemn them, you know, really kind of hope crest his fingers that maybe they'd stop rather than using his position of power to make them stop to declare Palestine a state, recognize it as a state, give them some leverage. But I mean, this is what we get from the United States. We get lip service to issues such as the rule of law and human rights, but they're not actually respected, right? And it's so frustrating because George W. Bush should be regarded by everyone as one of the most destructive presidents in American history. The start of the Patriot Act and mass surveillance, the start of never ending wars. How could you in any way try to redeem the legacy of someone who started what we're still dealing with today, the problems that George W. Bush initiated, the wars he started, the crises he crafted. We're still fighting them. So I mean, for Obama to do this, it's absolutely expected, but it's time that the left and liberals call out Obama. This is someone who is not your friend. He is your enemy. He is not just bringing down the Democratic Party in a worse way than Hillary Clinton with his influence, but people still respect him. They don't realize that this is an individual who talks about human rights, who's really articulate, you know, and smooth, so he's persuasive. But did you know that he was bombing grandmothers in Pakistan?   He's a terrible person.  That in and of itself, I think is important. But putting that aside, his legacy is incredibly horrific. And he's making matters worse by trying to rehabilitate George Bush's terrible legacy. And the left is making matters worse by not really having a serious conversation about Obama, right? I think that there's too much Obama worship in the Democratic Party and there should be zero worship in the Democratic Party. Any Democrat should be running away from the legacy of Barack Obama. Any Democrat should be running away from Obama and not embracing him. But when you see people running for Congress with like pictures of Obama, you should be embarrassed of that. This is a war criminal who should be in jail with his buddy, George W. Bush. And again, I'm nice enough to allow them to share a cell. We don't have to put Trump in the same jail cell with them, but they should be in jail. They should be prosecuted. And I say that knowing that it'll never happen because we live in a system where we don't actually support human rights. We don't care about the rule of law, because if we did, these two war criminals would be in prison for the rest of their lives.


I want us to go to Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 17 and we will read 18, 19 and verse 20. That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded in love. Somebody say love. Somebody say love. Chant the neighbor say you got to be rooted in love. Chant the other neighbor say you got to be grounded in love. Being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all of the saints what is the width, the length, the depth and the height. To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all the goodness of God. And let's read one more verse, verse 19 and this is the verse that all of you, verse 20, all of you know. Now to him who is able, somebody say God is able, is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think according to the power. It doesn't say the power that is in God, it says the power that works in us. Point to your safe, say in me. Say the power that works in me. In Jesus' name, amen. I want us to understand today as Christians is that when people open their life to sin, they open their life to curse. When they open their life especially to the things that are evil, the demonic influences, they open their lives to also demonic influence, which Bible calls curse. Many times we must understand that curses don't die like people. When people die, curses don't. Curses get passed on to the next of kin. Just like inheritance, for example, if you have a very large house, a lot of nice cars, and when you die, your house doesn't die, correct?  Weird idea, but they did that. So when you pass away, your house, your car does not pass away.  Next of kin. So is with blessing and curses.  But the way curses and blessings usually work is not just that bad things started to happen to people or good things start to happen to people, is that the person begins to think in such a way that they begin to make decisions that will cause them to be in the places and have things in their life that reflect blessing or curses. For example, Solomon, the wisest man the Bible says and he is also the richest man. He begins to, toward the end of his life, worship idols, worship demons, because of his wife's which he had too many and so he begins to do that. And the Bible says when that begins to happen, he opens his life to the devil because he worships the devil. And there was a prediction made concerning Solomon's life and this was the prediction that the kingdom that you have, the 12 tribes like the 12 states, there is going to be a large portion, 10 of them is going to be taken away from you.  And so Solomon lives, everything is fine and Solomon dies, but the curse he opened his life to because of worship of the devils didn't die with him. His son becomes a king and the Bible says that his son doesn't know anything about this.  And as he's starting his kingdom, he invites all of the people, his fathers, consulers, and his Stooges, his guys, the guys he grew up with, he went to school with, and the guys he plays ball with. He invites all of them to the table, says, guys, I'm a king, what should we do? How should we rule this country? And so the older guys were like, hey, your dad had so many construction projects, like the whole temple, we love the temple, but we had to pay for it. Your dad was so wealthy, but came from our taxes. Could you be kind to lower the taxes a little bit and stop building stuff? We're tired. And so he listened, I was like, okay, it makes sense, that's good, that's good.   And so that's exactly what he did. He comes up to them, he said, hey, guys, I want to let you know that I'm a leader, I'm the king and I'll do whatever I want, and I'm going to increase the taxes. And 10 tribes said, buy now, and they left. And then he tried to restore the rest of the 10 tribes and nothing worked. Here's a man who had good options and bad options, and he chose the bad option because he was under influence of a curse that was lingering from his father, who opened his life to the devil. We must understand the way blessings and curses work. They work through this mechanism that makes decisions called your mind. For example, if your parents are married, your grandparents are married and none of them are divorced, what happens? There is this blessing that is hanging on your life, not necessarily that you get married and everything becomes easy. It's just you begin to think about marriage differently than somebody who grew up in a family where everybody's marriage falls apart. You know, I look at my family, my parents and my grandparents on both of my sides, and the way the marriage is in my parents' marriage and the way my grandparents' marriage is. You know, that there was a stable, there was love, there was understanding, never seen my parents throw plates at each other or knives or anything. It's mom says, that says, yes ma'am, key to every successful marriage. And I look at my grandma, you know, it's the same thing and so I discovered the secret. But the issue is that when I look at marriage to me, there is this mindset that comes from the parents and the grandparents, which is how the blessing works is that when you get married and marriage goes bad, you can have a new marriage with the same spouse. You don't have to have a new spouse to have a new marriage. And so when that is deeply embedded into your mind, see what you don't realize is that blessing that is generational is deeply connected to your mind.   That is not how this works. And so is with the curses. When you grew up in the family, when you grew up in an environment where everybody thinks bad, everybody thinks wrong, but everybody thinks always this way. And you realize that that's how devil acts.  I love them. I love this and I love that. But God's word says something else and I will think different. I will force my mind. I will bend my mind to think on the word of God. Something begins to happen. That curse, that force, that failure, it cannot work in your life. It begins to malfunction. Why? Because your mind is now regulated and controlled and dominated by something else. Satan cannot rule our life effectively without ruling through our mind. And God cannot flow in our life effectively without flowing through our mind. How we think matters. That's why David says in Psalm, he says, anoint my head with oil. Touch your forehead.  Say, Lord Jesus, open my mind to your word.  The verses that we read today give us a framework of how a mind of a Christian should work. How a mind of a Christian should work. I will give you just three simple blocks from this scripture to help us think how God wants us to think. It's a process. It's a lifelong process. It doesn't happen over one day or it doesn't happen over one night. All of us are in the journey what we are learning and growing. In the verses 17, Apostle Paul says in Ephesians, he said that I want you to be grounded and rooted in love. And then it goes on to say, I want you to comprehend all the depth and the width and the height and the length to know the love of Christ which passes understanding. It's interesting how God says, I want you to know the love of God which is more than you will know. Write this down. The number one, know that God loves you more than you know. That is the foundation of a miracle in the mind. Unless you're taking notes, I don't want you to be on the social media, let's just pay attention. Know that Christ loves you more than you know. The foundation of your mind has to be unfailing love of God. Everyone here probably have heard and everybody here somehow in their mind already maybe have the information that God loves me. But it has to become aha moment for you. It has to become a revelation inside. The love of God cannot change you as long as God has it inside of him. The love of God can only change you when you begin to know it and experience it. If I have a barrel of cold, good water, purified water next to you and you are thirsty, the water being close to you cannot quench your thirst. The water has to be inside of you. The presence of water in this room does not make you not be thirsty. So it's not the presence of water that kills your thirst. It's when the water goes inside of you, that's when your thirst is gone. Many people think if God loves me, all of my problems will be over. Know if you don't know it. If you don't know he loves you, all of that love can do nothing for you. If you don't know deeply, experimentally, on the level of your mind and on the level of your heart, that God truly, genuinely loves me, me today. Not only when I'm good, but also when I make mistakes, he loves me. Even when he disciplines, he still loves me and he disciplines out of love. When you know God's love, something begins to happen. Your mind has these roots called thoughts, subconscious. It begins to go into the soil of the love of God and receive its nutrients.  You're able to give love to others. You're able to be confident and secure, even if you don't look as great as others people. You're able to be confident and walk with your head up, even if you might not be as great as someone else. Why? Because your roots are receiving proper nutrients from the love of God. Your mind can never properly function if it's not based on the foundation. God loves you. God loves you. I know that for most of you, this is as coming as information. And honestly, there's very, very little I can do right now to make it into a revelation. Without Holy Spirit, you won't know it. Because the Bible says the Holy Spirit pours out the love of God into our heart, meaning Holy Spirit turns information into a revelation. I remember being on subway in Ukraine two weeks ago. When this revelation, I knew God loves me.  I preached God loves me. But something happened in Ukraine. There was few messages that happened there that impacted me on a very, very deep level. I cannot explain. In a subway in Ukraine, I remember reading the verse John 3.16. And that part, what it says, for God, that word so loved the world. It started to just melt the fears that I had. It started to melt. The word so loves that even the things I've done and the things people have done to me that may be growing up not being lovable or not receiving enough love. God so loves, not just loves, but that soul started to sink in. I remember in subway reading that verse. And all of our guys were just there, but they were not realizing that at that moment drops of just divine love started to penetrate my heart. That God is for me. God thinks good stuff about me. That God loves me. God is not against me. That God genuinely cares about me and he thinks about me. And the way I look in the mirror and how much money I make and how many friends I have and how I perform, all of that actually matters. Nothing! God so loved the world. You know, it didn't say, it didn't say God so loved the monks, the priests, the Pope Francis. It didn't say God so loved the pilgrim. It says the world. If it would have said the church, I would have doubted that because maybe I'm not part of it. But the world I fit right in. And that word so, it just hits something inside of my spirit. Where after that, something begins to change in my heart. I cannot explain. I'm not saying I'm a brand new person, but my roots started to get wet no longer with how much I love God. But it came a revelation. God loves me. You may say, what about other scriptures where God says, I will find you. I don't know about those scriptures. I know that is the scripture that must become a foundation of your thinking. That's why Apostle Paul says in Ephesians, be rooted. Not where God says vengeance is mine. He says, be rooted and grounded. Not where God says, I'll find you. I'm a jealous God. Be rooted and grounded in this. For God so loved the world. That is supposed to be your foundation. Know this. God loves you more than you know. You will never know exactly how much God loves you. Because the moment you know a little bit more, God says, my love, there is still so much more. You will never know. This gives me so much confidence when I pray. This gives you so much confidence when you pray. This gives you confidence to pray for the sick. This gives you confidence to witness to people.  The greatest thing is this is to live a Christian life with your light in your face. With the life of God in your heart. Why? Because you are loved. Amen. God so loved the world. And then, you know, there's a lot of people who tell you that I love you. In this world today, everybody smiles. This is a beautiful part of this country. Everybody smiles. In my country, people don't smile. I found out one of the reasons some people have crooked teeth in Ukraine, but that's beside the point. But in the country I came from, people just don't smile. Everybody just has this very mean look. You come to the United States, everybody smiles. But we all know one thing. How many smiles we gave to people?  We just smiles like, get off of my face. Move on. We're like, move, move, just hurry up. Hi, good to see you too. Love you too. Just move, move. So I can keep doing what I was doing. And sometimes when you read God loves you, you're like, yeah, I said that to so many people. But you did, you gave nothing. God said, my words are not cheap. I backed it up. Anytime you doubt God's love, because maybe you think it's just words. Well, God backed it up because after that goes the backup, goes the proof that he gave his only begotten son. God's love is not just words. God is not just very colorful, colorful with his words. Like there's some guys that are very romantic. They can, they can stalk so sweet in a text message. And then when they see the person they meet for coffee, they just forget the English language. They forget the obvious words they cannot communicate. They cannot, they don't know how to do anything. And so many times people think God's is the same way. He's in heaven. He just sends these beautiful messages, messages, messages.  What do we do? No, God proved his love. Anytime you doubt God's love, there's a proof. So you will have no doubt. Can somebody say amen? The healing of our mind begins to happen. When it begins to accept the fact that God loves us. And that truly satisfies us. Every love people give you will never be enough. People's love for you will never be enough. God never meant for people to replace God in our life. I remember when I had to learn that, you know, I have the most amazing parents in the world, mom and dad. But they're not God. They are not God. And their love for me is never supposed to replace God. And I had to learn that the hard way. When I was expecting a certain things, and I'm one of those people, you know, I don't communicate properly. If I want something from you or not giving it to me, I'm going to go cry about it. Worship God about it, but not going to tell you about it. You know, and there were a few moments in my life, and my parents probably have heard it, when I was yearning to hear those words.  One particular event was when I went, my dad went to Loves. I shared this story in other places except our church. My dad went to Loves one day, and there was one cashier who was working there, and she looked at this card, and she recognized the last name, and she knew me. And so she said, hey, I know your son. He preaches on TV, and she just started to say all these nice words. So my dad comes home. I remember this was on Kubota. I remember how that was. I can describe every single thing. This was a very vivid moment of my life, because my dad comes and he says, hey, hey, I got to tell you something. I met this girl, and she said that she knows you. And I'm like, what does she say? You know, here's me. I'm living my life, you know, waiting for my dad to tell me I'm proud of you, son. And he did that, but he just wanted to hear more. It's just never enough. Right? It's just never enough. You don't hear it enough.  And so, because I always felt that my dad wanted me to be something else than a preacher. And here my dad comes and sits on the couch. He begins to describe, and my mouth jar open. I'm listening like a thirsty man in the desert of Sahara. I said, so what does she say? And he said, well, well, she said, it doesn't matter what she said. The interesting part is that she remembered you.  I was like, what does she say? It doesn't matter what she said. What matters is that she remembered his last name. And that left no problem. That did not know. I started to weep because I was unrealized. I wanted that, just the hug, I guess, and that little, you know, American thing. I love you son.  And next morning, I went to prayer. And I remember sitting in prayer and I said, Lord, really? I said, God, I have the most amazing dad and mom in the world. But at that moment, Holy Spirit revealed something to me. He said, I will never let your parents love you to that degree which will make me unnecessary in your prayer. Guys, God will let people love you. But that will never replace God. You may have the most beautiful, most awesome parents, spouses, but you must understand. You must be rooted and grounded in the love of God. Not in their love for you, not in your love for them, but in the love of God. Can somebody say amen? Somebody say praise the Lord. Come on, put your hands together for Jesus for this awesome love for us. And he loves us, and he loves us all the time. And I want you to notice that Apostle Paul continues to say that after we know the love of God, he says, I want you to begin to think, if you can read that verse, put up the verse. He says that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think. Verse 20, according to the power that works in us. I want you to notice that God is saying he is able to do exceedingly above all beyond what we ask or even think. So here is God saying that I can think higher than you. I can do more than you. So the first component of our walking in a new mind is constantly remember God loves you. The second one that I want us to remember is this, is that God wants us to think higher than our circumstances or think on the level of your belief, not your fear. Think higher than your circumstances. It's as though God is saying that I think I am so much higher than your circumstances. I want you to think higher than your circumstances. Each one of us are surrounded with circumstances.  God wants your mind to always be higher, because the Bible says that we have to meditate on the Word of God. We have to meditate on it day and night, and the Word of God is so much higher than sickness. God's Word is so much higher than any problem. Amen, Michael? God's Word is so much higher than any poverty, amen? God's Word is so much higher than any depression. God's Word is so much higher than any anxiety, and Michael can say amen. God's Word is so much higher than anything we face. And so God is saying since I am higher than your circumstances, since I can do more than your circumstances, I want your mind to be on the same plane with me. I want your mind to be on the same plane with me. Have you noticed that the way even the Lord designed our head, that our head is on the top?  God did not put your head somewhere in the middle.  But sometimes that's the only physically, but in every other area, our head is over under our feet.  It's as though we threw our head and threw it on the ground, and we're walking, and what's on the top? Problems.   When your mind is on the top, something begins to happen, a miracle begins to happen. I think I've shared a story before of two men in England who were diagnosed with a disease that will eventually make them paralyzed and unable to walk. And one of those men, he accepted that diagnosis and said, okay, I guess that's who I'm going to become. And the other man says, no, I reject that, and I will not accept this, I will learn how to walk, and I will learn how to run. Eventually that disease accelerated in both of their bodies, and they became paralyzed. They were not able to walk. And so one man being paralyzed started to exercise and begin to walk, and he fell, and people made fun of him, and they said, nobody can walk with this disease. But he kept trying and trying, and finally he learned to kind of walk with a very big limp. As he was walking, he said, I'm going to go even do more, I'm going to run. Well, they said that's impossible. He started to run. And he was running and running and running until one day, he always had a mind bigger than in circumstances. At that point, at that time, nobody has ever beat a record of running a mile under four minutes. This has never been broken in the whole world history. They even have released bulls and had guys in red running, and had bulls running and hurting runners so they can break a four mile, four minute mile record. They've done everything and nobody could break it. And this guy who's supposed to not walk all his life says, not only I'm walking and running, I am going to break a world record of running a mile under four minutes. He believed in it. Of course they said that's impossible. Doctors have done a study where they said, humanly it's impossible, and if you will run a mile under four minutes your body will die. He still didn't believe it because you're running about 15 miles per hour. And he put his mind above that. He says, I can do it. He says, I was supposed to be paralyzed and the doctor says I shouldn't be walking. So if they're saying this, maybe I should just rise above it. On this particular day in May 6th, 1954, Roger Benningster, this is the exact moment and that is him. He broke a world record of running a mile under four minutes. The amazing part is 40 days later, another man breaks the same record. And in that year, 24 people broke that record. Today, high school students break that record. He no longer has the record because somebody already broke that record of running a mile in three minutes and some 40 some seconds. It just shows how somebody said it's impossible and everybody believed it and somebody says, I'll think higher than that. See, God says, I am higher than your thoughts, but if God is higher than our thoughts, our thoughts should be higher than our circumstances. And somebody say amen. If God is higher than your thoughts, your thoughts should be higher than your circumstances. Somebody say amen. Somebody say, think higher. Somebody say, think higher. You got to think higher. If you're living low, think high. If you're eating low, think high. Never think on the level of your feelings. Don't think on the level of your circumstances. If things are the same, think higher. If a guy can do it with running, you can do it with God. You can do it with the Holy Spirit because somebody say amen. We always have to rise higher. I remember reading a story about a man named Charles Darrow and he was the man who lived in Pennsylvania and he was a retired and retired unemployed man. And the reason why he was unemployed because stock market crashed during the Great Depression time and he had no money. His family was struggling. He had young children and they were struggling and they were being so poor that it was just depression, we're just getting into his mind. And he was a man who had a very interesting mind. He always kept his mind occupied even when he had no work. And so what he did because he lived in Atlantic City, he drew a map on the kitchen tablecloth of Atlantic City, went down to the local stores because nobody would be hiring, so he asked them for some cheap material, cheap wood and cheap cloth and came home at night and him and his wife and the kids played a game of what it's like to be wealthy. It was just a game. It was just a game so that they can keep their minds off of the fact they're poor because they had other poor friends in the evenings, other poor people would come and say, what are you guys doing there? Hey, we're playing rich. We're pretending we're rich. They said, can we play with you since we poor like you? Oh, you're welcome. And everybody starts playing a game where they can become rich without any work. Until those friends started to win at the game and they said, hey, would you mind if you sell us a game for $4? He said, I don't mind at all. He would sell a game and make another one, sell a game and make another one. Until he went to this company who produced games and he said, hey guys, I have this amazing game that helps poor people feel like they're rich. Would you buy it?  He didn't get discouraged. You know what he did? He printed 5,000 of those games and started asking each store, hey, would you mind having a game that helps poor people feel rich? And some stores would buy it, some stores won't. Until one person who bought the game, who was actually a daughter of the very guy who rejected that game. He looked at him and he says, what are you doing?  He said, this is, and he just watched her and he just ridiculed her, made fun of her until he kept watching. He says, wow, this is actually very interesting. He brought the guy back. He said, I'll buy your game. And this guy started to receive royalties within a very, very short time. He became a millionaire. He is actually the wealthiest man who made the most money from a game that most of you have played a game called Monopoly. 52 fundamental errors. The point is this, a man chose to think above circumstances. He could have become a man who says, I'm broke like a joke. I should live and I should settle. He said, my mind is going to be higher. My income is here. My mind is going to be higher. Amen. And the most amazing part is we have the word of God. We're not just sitting here trying to put some positive thoughts in your head. So you walk around and if you struggle and just think better, think higher. No, no, we're talking about think higher because God is even higher. Think higher because God is even higher. Can somebody say amen? Let's put up the verse one more time, verse 20. And this is the part where it says, God now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly. Now most of us, when we hear this verse in the religious context, this is what we think it means. And God will do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think. But it doesn't say God here will do. It says God is able. He's not obligated to do it. God is able. But it doesn't say he will do above what you think or ask. Well, that's discouraging. But let's read at the end. It says who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think according to the power. And I always kind of thought it meant according to the power that is in God. But it says in here, according to the power that works in you and in me. What does this mean? That means Almighty God has all the power, all of the grace. He says I can do more than you think and fantasize. But I can only do in your life according to how much you yield to my working inside of you. What that means is this, if God says if I can change you on inside, if I can cause you to think positive, to think that you're loved, to think that nothing is impossible, that is the window through which I can move and no more. You have a car. Now, how many of you have the fastest car? Who has the fastest car here? Boy, did you have a fastest car? No. How much did your car go? What's the fastest? 180? Is that what I'm not thinking of? That's how much you're going. Huh? I'm not thinking 180. Anybody has a car that goes more than 180? 210. Anybody has a car that goes faster than 210? 160? I was like, you know which city is it? 160. My goodness. 210. Okay. So, Ilya's car goes 210 miles. That's a lot. Now, should I ask that question? What is the fastest you have went on your car? Let's just assume. Most likely, I'll actually, Ilya probably have maxed that. Most of us here have a car that probably doesn't go more than 180. And most of us here have never went over 90 or 100. That's pushing it. Everybody with me? Everybody still with me? Okay. If you wait, let me say yes. I want you to notice this. Your car goes only as fast, not as the manufacturer made it to go. But as the owner pushes the gas pedal. Your car does not go as fast as the owner, as the manufacturer made it to go. It only goes as fast as the owner chooses to press the pedal. That means each person here still has so much more that God can do through us. And it depends now not on God, but on allowing Holy Spirit, the power within to change us on the inside. Make us think better. Make us hope better things. That we constantly expect good things. That we constantly think light instead of darkness. Think miracles instead of problems. That we think opportunities instead of obstacles. That we think on the level that is higher than our feelings, higher than our circumstances.  Amen? Amen. Did you receive something tonight?

President of the United States. Thank you. Please. Thank you all very much. I was thinking on the way over here what a great idea this event is and wondering why we don't get together more often. Kind of reminds me of the fellow who asked his friend what the problem really was, ignorance or apathy. And the friend responded, I don't know and I don't care. Well I doubt there's a person in this room who can be accused of suffering from either of those defects. Each one of you is alive for the issues of the day. Each one of you has made your family proud, your country grateful for the active role that you've taken in community and world events. And especially for your loyalty to the United States and Israel and to the wonderful work of the United Jewish Appeal. I believe you also know where I stand as I look back in these last seven years I remember many emotional, many poignant moments. But few believe me will ever match those times I have spent with you, especially on those occasions when we commemorated the victims of the Holocaust and pledged to each other in the world never again. Those of us in this room are as one on this point. We know what Israel is, we know what Israel means. And as I will tell the Prime Minister tomorrow, when it comes to Israel the United States is not a bargainer or a broker, the United States is a friend and an ally. And that's why one of the things I'm proudest of is the steps we've been able to take during this administration to build a stronger foundation of enduring friendship and cooperation. For example, strategic cooperation, something other administration shied away from, is now a commitment our two governments have made to each other. It responds to our mutual needs and is a reminder to all that no wedge will be driven between the United States and Israel. Our commitment to close relations and to Israel's security, who has been reflected in our foreign aid levels, our commercial cooperation of research and defense, and the vital and historic free trade agreement that we have signed. Our commitment to Israel's security is also reflected in our latest peace initiative. Making progress toward peace in the Middle East not only serves mutual interests, it is urgent. It's in America's and Israel's interest to develop a credible basis on which to make progress, one that promises to overcome stalemate and make genuine reconciliation possible. That's why I'm delighted that Prime Minister Shamir is here. And let me underscore one point that I hope needs no underscoring. Our policy has as its basis, and this is a first principle in any negotiation in assuring of Israel's freedom and security. We will not leave Israel to stand alone, nor will we acquiesce in any effort to gang up on Israel. Peace will not be imposed by us or by anyone else. It will and must come from the genuine give and take of negotiations. That's what we're working to set in motion now. And while our work on behalf of Israel is a vital part of why we're there today, I would be remiss if I didn't speak to you about other efforts to make U.S. foreign policy consistent and strong. Only a few years ago some Americans were beginning to question what we stood for in the world. Our nation has now regained its confidence and sense of purpose. We've returned to proclaiming enthusiastically the democratic ideals that inspired our founding fathers and the founding fathers of Israel. And I think this vigorous foreign policy is good, of course, for Israel, because the United States is thought of today as a strong nation and a reliable ally. This has helped move the process of peace forward throughout the world, and it has enhanced the security with all our friends and allies. And what I hope you've noticed during the past few years is that we have moved American foreign policy away from the notion that mere containment is enough, that we have willingly and openly proclaimed to the world that our goal is not just peace but freedom as well, that we seek not separate spheres of influence or a simple balance of power or a deadening stalemate with totalitarianism, that we seek instead a day when every person in every land will share fully in the blessings of freedom. And that's the core of our foreign policy, protecting the security of the United States while advancing the cause of world freedom and democratic rights. It's in this context that I think you can understand why we've moved forward boldly on a broad range of foreign policy issues like SDI, the Persian Gulf, and aid to those fighting against communist tyranny. That last subject is particularly appropriate. I'm going to take a moment of your time to talk about it, and I hope you'll give some thought to this after we part today. You know, so frequently I've found that the measure of any regime or government can be taken by its official attitude toward antisemitism. And as most of you know, few regimes today so blatantly sanction and practice official antisemitism as the Sandinista communists in Nicaragua. The Jewish community has been forced out almost entirely. Managua's one synagogue has been defaced and fire-bombed. And Nicaragua has officially aligned itself with Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and, of course, the PLO, an organization that has again revealed its true colors, opposing our efforts for peace and trumpeting its responsibility for a sickening terrorist attack on a bus carrying Israeli men, women, and children. It's no accident that Sandinista leaders were trained in the 70s by the PLO. And the PLO has established a presence in Nicaragua. So too one of the hijackers some years ago of an LL airline liner was a Sandinista. He died in the attempt and is now a national hero. They've named a geothermal plant after him. And of course the Sandinistas have led the way in sponsoring recent anti-Israel resolutions in the UN. So I think it's time that some in Congress who want to turn away from the reality of left-wing anti-Semitism face the facts about the anti-Semitism of the Sandinistas as well as their ties to the PLO and other terrorist groups. It is the Nicaraguan freedom fighters who are resisting this kind of moral corruption. It is the freedom fighters who are fighting for the political, civil, and human rights of Jews and Christians in Nicaragua. It is the freedom fighters who must be sustained and supported in this struggle. You know I just don't understand the inability of some people to realize what the Sandinistas are all about. Only the other day we saw newspaper accounts of the Castro connection in international drug dealing. So too the evidence has been compelling for a long time that the Sandinistas have been involved in such drug trafficking. In one of my TV addresses on the subject of contra-aid, I showed a picture of a drug smugglers aircraft landing in Nicaragua at a military airfield and being met by Nicaraguan officials and soldiers. And the Commission on Organized Crime, chaired by Judge Irving Kaufman, concluded that top-level members of the Sandinista leadership were involved in the international drug trade. Well anyway the point that I'm making here is that all of us have a stake in what happens in Nicaragua as we do in the fate of Central America in general. You know many people early on said that we could not save El Salvador and our aid package passed by only a few votes. And now democracy is prospering in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. Nicaragua is the odd man out and a menace to the cause of regional democracy. But the struggle in Nicaragua goes on and with Congress' help we'll see to it that democracy wins there too. So I hope you can see how these issues are interrelated and how our foreign policy is not just strong for the sake of being strong, that we seek to do more than just project national pride and firmness. Our real motivation, our root motivation, is the cause of human freedom. And this has no small bearing on the mutual concerns that bring us here today. As all of you know I expect to be in Moscow one of these days for a summit meeting with Mr. Gorbachev. As it was at the Washington Summit and the summits before that, the issue of Soviet Jewry will I assure you be high on our agenda. The General Secretary knows of my profound concern in this point and of your concern as well, and I'll be making this very plain again in Moscow. So let me conclude then by thanking you for all you've done on behalf of the issues of Soviet Jewry and Israel's security, the safety and security of the United States, and the safety and security of Israel are all part of a larger cause. The cause of human rights for every man, woman, and child on this earth. And today as we meet here, let's rededicate ourselves to that cause. Thank you very much. If everybody would please be seated. Mr. President, two weeks ago we read in the Bible in Section Kiseiso how Moses commanded the children of Israel to bring the best of what they had for the construction of the Tabernacle and in all its parts. The Jews represented in this room are those kind of Jews who at that time brought all that they had and at this time bring all that they had to this nation and to the world. On behalf of all of us, the members of the Prime Minister's Council, the officers, and the board of directors of the UJA, it gives me great pleasure to present you with this Avdala set used each Saturday evening at the end of the Sabbath service. In the Avdala prayer, we pray and thank God for his teaching us the difference between light and darkness, holiness, and profanity. With this small token, we want you to become an honorary member of our Prime Minister's Council and want to thank you for your strong and deep commitment to the people of Israel, to democracy, and to human rights. Thank you very much. I think I was off-center for a minute there. I'll be more careful. Well I thank you. You've honored me greatly and I'm very proud and most pleased and proud to have this.
