Congratulations to TUT

I believe that now a large part of the world’s population are suspicious of those in power (media, governments, finance, etc.). Obviously not all websites on the internet are informative, Yahoo being a case in point, but the internet has exposed many lies and falsehoods and I would bet it is the primary news source for many people now. If you keep records of TUT internet traffic, it would be interesting to see if this “warning” by Yahoo affects the amount of traffic you get. I suspect it will increase the traffic you get. Congratulations.

What’s in a name? What’s in the name “Yahoo”? “Yahoo” was invented by Jonathan Swift in his book “Gulliver’s Travels”.
Jonathan Swift was born on 1667-11-30 in the 8th year of the reign of Charles II, and would have been in his 21st year in 1688 when the Jewish takeover of England was confirmed by their imported puppet taking the throne of England; c35 years when Anne came to the throne; c40 years when Great Britain was established; c47 years when George I came to the throne; c60 years when George II came to the throne, and still ruled when Swift died on 1745-10-19, aged 77y10m.
“Gulliver’s Travels” was first published in 1726–7 when Swift was c39 years old, nearing 20 years into the history of Great Britain.
The book begins with a letter of complaint from the fictional Lemuel Gulliver to his fictional publisher, his cousin Richard Sympson. In that letter Gulliver refers to his cousin being “afraid of giving offence; that people in power were very watchful over the press, and apt not only to interpret, but to punish every thing which looked like an innuendo (as I think you call it)”.
Gulliver expressed outrage at seeing (back in England) “these very Yahoos carried by Houyhnhnms in a vehicle, as if they (Houyhnhnms) were brutes, and those (Yahoos) the rational creatures”.
Note: the Yahoos were extremely vicious human beings who roamed in groups in the Land of the Houyhnhnms (horses of great honesty, honour and benevolence). Gulliver remained intensely loyal and reverential to his Houyhnhnm master, and correspondingly antipathetic towards Yahoos and humans. He goes on to describe the Yahoos as “a species of animals utterly incapable of amendment by precept or example: and so it has proved; for, instead of seeing a full stop put to all abuses and corruptions, at least in this little island, as I had reason to expect; behold, after above six months warning, I cannot learn that my book has produced one single effect according to my intentions.”
Towards the end of the letter, Gulliver expresses his disgust at the situation in England: “Do these miserable animals presume to think, that I am so degenerated as to defend my veracity? Yahoo as I am, it is well known through all Houyhnhnmland, that, by the instructions and example of my illustrious master, I was able in the compass of two years (although I confess with the utmost difficulty) to remove that infernal habit of lying, shuffling, deceiving, and equivocating, so deeply rooted in the very souls of all my species; especially the Europeans.”
If you’ve dismissed Gulliver’s Travels as a mere children’s story – understandable if you’ve seen Hollywood’s versions – think again.
It is worth noting the meaning of the Hebrew suffix “-yahu”.
“Dear Rabbi (http://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/219/Q2/) writes:
“Dear Email@Withheld,
“Yahu” is the original Hebrew ending of many Hebrew names. For instance, Elijah is Eliyahu (my middle name!), Isaiah is Yishayahu. Yahu is a short term used as the name of G-d, as it is spelled with the first three letters of the Holy Name. For example, Eliyahu means My G-d (Eli) is called Yahu; the name Shemaryahu means “my guard” is Yahu.”
Possibly, Swift’s choice of the name “Yahoo” has some significance.
