Shraga as Mishechistim

Let's get one thing straight, because this has gone from a mistake to a full-blown mental catastrophe. This entire shtus that the Rebbe is Moshiach is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FANTASY. It is a meshugas of the highest order, a craziness that spits on the Rebbe's legacy and makes a mockery of everything Chabad stands for. It's not just wrong, it's a shande far di goyim, a humiliating embarrassment that has to stop.

The bottom line is simple, so simple a child could understand it: THE REBBE, זי"ע, IS NOT MOSHIACH.

Halacha Is Not A Suggestion: THE RAMBAM'S FINAL WORD

This isn't a debate club. This is halacha. And the halacha l'maaseh, the final word on the matter, was written down almost a thousand years ago by the Rambam himself. It's NOT complicated. The Mishneh Torah gives a job description for Moshiach:

• Build the Beis Hamikdash.*
• Bring ALL the Yidden back to Eretz Yisroel.*
• Bring the Geulah Shleimah and fix the ENTIRE WORLD.*

The Rebbe, the Gadol Hador, OUR Rebbe, did he do these things? NO. And what does the Rambam say happens if the candidate DIES before getting the job done?

...IF HE WAS KILLED, HE IS CERTAINLY NOT THE MOSHIACH...

IT'S OVER. DONE. FINISHED. Were we all hallucinating at the levaya? Is the Ohel in Queens an optical illusion? To deny the Rebbe's passing is to deny REALITY ITSELF.

So let's say it again for the people in the back: THE REBBE DIED. HE IS NOT MOSHIACH.

A Circus of Delusion: The Meshugeneh Rituals

Because the halacha is so painfully clear, the meshugoyim had to invent their own rituals to keep the fantasy alive. It's not Chassidus, it's a SIDESHOW.

The Kos Shel Bracha Puppet Show

You want to see pure insanity? Go to one of their farbrengens. They take a bottle of mashke and pour it, pretending with their own hands that the Rebbe is pouring it from an EMPTY CHAIR. A GHOST is pouring them lechaims! And these grown men, these Yidden, line up like little kinderlach to get a drink poured by an INVISIBLE MAN. It is a pathetic, weekly performance of a mass delusion. It is a PUPPET SHOW, not a prayer service.

HOLY PHOTOCOPIES!

The Rebbe gave us a dollar for a bracha, a REAL connection to our living leader. What do they do now? They hand out PHOTOCOPIES. A Xerox machine is now their source of blessings! What's the bracha in that? Good ink quality? It is a hollow, empty, and frankly STUPID imitation of a beautiful custom. It is a worthless piece of paper meant to prop up a lie.

A CHILUL HASHEM OF EPIC PROPORTIONS

This entire enterprise is a monumental CHILUL HASHEM. The Rebbe gave his life to give us a derech, a path to bring light to the world through REAL ACTIONS. Through mivtzoim, through learning, through doing MITZVOS. He did NOT ask us to sing songs to an empty room and wait for a miracle that the Torah says CANNOT happen.

They have abandoned the Rebbe's true mission. They have traded the hard work of shlichus for the easy fantasy of a Geulah that exists only in their heads. It is a betrayal of everything the Rebbe stood for.

Let this be the final word for anyone with a brain still working: THE REBBE IS NOT MOSHIACH. PERIOD.
