Kosher Slaughter and Passover Sacrifice

Most of us have heard of "Kosher" from the various labels and stamps on many food products that represent safe consumption for Jews, in a religious sense.

Kosher practices originate in the Torah and their physical procedures are mainly derived from the "oral Torah" (Mishnah and Talmud) and they apply predominantly to meat and other animal-derived products, in terms of how certain animals that can be consumed by Jews must be slaughtered, how their meat must be processed etc. These are overseen on a large scale by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and on a smaller scale by trained Jews called "Mashgiach" [1] who ensure the correct application of Kosher Torah laws in animal slaughter, in Israel and all areas of the world where Kosher slaughter is legal.

Nothing out of the ordinary so far, however Kosher slaughter practices have a dark side that not many people may be aware of. In the "civilized world", animal slaughter professionally performed in abattoirs, slaughterhouses and designated farms is legally bound to follow only after a practice called stunning, which is rendering an animal unconscious (or sometimes directly dead) using instant and painless methods prior to the actual slaughter, in order to prevent pain and suffering and ensure animals have a "humane death". The same not only that does not happen in Kosher slaughter, but it is legally forbidden [2]: "If the stunning kills the animal it makes it neveila (an animal which has not been shechted) and is forbidden as food for Jews."

Neveila is a forbidden state produced by lack of shechita (the method of cutting, being 'shechted') being performed correctly. The animal must be alive and fully conscious. If anything is held to remove the life force, such as suffocation, bolt, electrical impulse or anything else, halachically it is not valid as kosher meat.

As SG Karnonnos found out, modern rabbinical notations such as the Ma'mar Mordechai (Volume 2, Yore De'ah), Responsa Shevat Halevi and other written correspondences of rabbis go into detail on this in regards to legal disputes with governments (such as in Switzerland where kosher slaughter has been forbidden since 1897), but much of the covert 'reasoning' on this is orally based and not written down. If you try to find answers on this question on the internet, you will only find mysterious vagueness, talking around the issue, a refusal to provide sources or lies like "stunning pierces the brain membrane", which is false.

Truthfully, for Jews, convulsive movement ("פרכוס") is the sign of remaining life. The Talmud and texts such as those of Rambam (Maimonides) use this physiological sign to show that the animal is still conscious and full of life force for shechita to take effect. If there is no such sign because a stun renders the animal unconscious or brain-dead, any cut is meaningless and the meat is strongly neveila.

Hence we see dismal scenes like this:

Kosher slaughter of living cattle [3]

The process generally involves turning the animal upside down with a mechanical device and severing the jugular veins and carotid arteries in the neck, a practice generally common in non-Kosher slaughter as well but illegal without pre-stunning, whereas Kosher slaughter involves cutting the main blood vessels while the animal is still alive, therefore inducing tremendous pain and suffering until the animal dies due to loss of blood, which depending on animal varies roughly from 5 to 40 seconds [4].

Jews have managed to obtain exemptions globally from pre-kill stunning outside of the Nordic countries, Belgium, Australia and Switzerland, where stunning is required. Of all countries, ritual slaughter is currently only totally banned in Slovenia.

The reason the animal must be living and conscious reflects the occult element that Jews desperately require. The energy produced from a writhing, living animal ("פרכוס") is far more conducive towards these aims and must be ritually directed by another adult Jew of sane mind. Blood is also necessary for the sacrifice, as stated by Jews:

A Stunning Matter, Meyer Rabbinowitz [5]
"Blood is needed for sprinkling on the altar when an animal is sacrificed. In the case of fowl, where breaking the neck would kill the fowl, sheshita was required to ensure that blood did not remain in the body, but not to kill."

Gentiles are also strongly forbidden to do or assist with kosher slaughter. Even if a Gentile uses proper technique of shechita under Jewish supervision, they render all meat non-kosher by impurity. Ancient rabbinical texts such as the Shulchan Aruch and editions of the Talmud are emphatic on this aspect, based on Exodus 34:15:

Yoreh De'ah 2:1, Shulchan Aruch [6]
"The [kosher] slaughter from a Gentile is vile, even if he is a minor. And even if he does not practice idolatry, such as a resident alien.
…
The slaughter from a Gentile is a corpse."

Chullin 13, Talmud
"MISHNA: Slaughter performed by a Gentile renders the animal an unslaughtered carcass, and the carcass imparts ritual impurity through carrying."

The reasoning behind banning the practice of stunning does not have any apparent biological basis (because a healthy animal stunned prior to slaughter is not in any way less safe for consumption) but purely a religious one, and the reason is that every Kosher slaughter is a simulation of a ritual sacrifice. Those who are familiar know that death and sacrifice to the judeo-christian God is a central theme in Torah and in the entire bible in general. Much of the fictitious history of the Jews documented in the bible is about invading, attacking, plundering and mass-killing other civilizations around them.

Leviticus 1:3
"If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD."

Leviticus 3:1-2
1 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

Deuteronomy 12:27
"And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh."

The meanings of these verses go far deeper. The judeo-christian God is not a real deity, it is not an intelligent being with reasoning and conscience, it is an amassment of energy, a thought-form created out manipulating energy using spiritual practices (predominantly stolen and adapted from other civilizations that were of the ancient Gods), prayings from Jews, Muslims, Christians, death and sacrifice rituals. Death energy is extremely powerful and depending on the person who died (the human souls exists in various levels of power depending on people's spiritual development) and the severity of the death, it can "haunt" a place for decades afterwards.

Now on the subject of Passover and Passover Sacrifice, this is one of the most important Jewish holidays that marks the beginning of the religious Jewish year and where they celebrate the so-claimed "liberation" or Exodus from slavery in Egypt, when God had cursed Egypt with 10 plagues, the last one of being the "smiting of the firstborn of every Egyptian and every cattle".

Exodus 12:12
"For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD."

Historically, an important part of the Passover holiday was the ritual sacrifice of a lamb from every Jewish family and eating it with unleavened/matzah bread and bitter herbs before the night when God smote the firstborn of every Egyptian and cattle. Additionally, every Jewish house had to pour the blood of the lamb on their doorsteps in order to signal to God that it is a Jewish household and the plague would then "pass over" their house [7]

Traditionally based on the Torah, every family had to bring the living lamb in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in order for the priest to perform the ritual sacrifice and pour a bowl of its blood on the altar. Reportedly, during the First RomanJewish war, in 70 AD the Roman Empire had captured Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple Mount, an event that put an end to the Passover lamb ritual sacrifice and that is mourned yearly by the world Jewry. Discussions and debates were reignited following the capture of Jerusalem in 1967, current information suggest that the Samaritans, a small Jewish ethno-religious subgroup, are the only Jews to continue the sacrifice ritual based on Torah, in their homes rather than in the Temple Mount. Presently Temple Mount is located in West Bank and hosts the Al Aqsa mosque.

Interestingly, with the destruction of the Temple Mount and removal of the lamb sacrifice ritual, there are accusations of "Blood Libel" going back to ancient times about Jews sacrificing gentile children for the Passover holiday [8] [9], to "use their blood for matzah bread". Whether true or not, such accusations have led to numerous crackdowns on Jewish communities, such as the Kishinev/Chișinău pogrom [10].

The story of the Exodus and the Passover holiday following it begs the question, how is this the God of the entire Humanity? It is important to understand from above that the Jewish biblical folklore such as the Exodus from Egypt does not have real life origins, but are codified and symbolic events about how the Jews use ritual sacrifices, death, occult powers and knowledge to feed their "God" thought-form and use it in their quest of dominating and destroying other civilizations around them, something which Israel is very known for in today's world.

Finally, Jews in their 'humane' guise tend to insist that kosher is the most 'humane' method of slaughter and that technological methods are cruel. However, real scientific studies cast extreme doubt on this:

Veterinary Record [11]
Captive bolt stunning followed by sticking one minute later resulted in immediate and irreversible loss of evoked responses after the stun. Spontaneous cortical activity was lost before sticking in three animals, and in an average of 10 seconds after sticking in the remaining five animals. The duration of brain function after shechita was very variable, and particularly contrasted with captive bolt stunning with respect to the effects on evoked responses. These were lost between 20 and 126 seconds (means of 77 seconds for somatosensory and 55 seconds for visual evoked responses) and spontaneous activity was lost between 19 and 113 seconds (mean 75 seconds) after slaughter.
