It gets better, too.

I looked up the meaning, to see what others said about it. It's apparently about "terrorism," according to critics and Cohen himself.

Wikipedia.

But then Cohen paraphrases another poem.

I remember there was a great poem by Irving Layton that I once read, I'll give you a paraphrase of it. It was 'well, you guys blow up an occasional airline and kill a few children here and there', he says. 'But our terrorists, Jesus, Freud, Marx, Einstein. The whole world is still quaking.'"

Way to make it sound totally not Jew-y, dude.

Like, just keep your mouth shut on that, and you had some level of plausible deniability.

Cohen may have been referring to this stanza from "The Search" by Irving Layton.

Iconoclasts, dreamers, men who stood alone:
Freud and Marx, the great Maimonides
and Spinoza who defied even his own.
In my veins runs their rebellious blood.

Yeah.

Whether conscious or subconscious, given his own explanation, it's pretty hard to read it any other way. This is about Jews versus Western civilization.

Also, Maimonides was a Rabbi who was the personal physician of Saladin. Yes, that Saladin.

Is it really every single time?

“What was Leonard Cohen trying to tell us?”

I've seen that posted a few times, but never watched it. I guess I'll have to know, I'm curious.

This isn't some random no name singer. This song has 17 million views on youtube. They are openly making fun of us in plain sight.

There's something in the Talmud about how if they spell it out like this it means they're not "technically" lying when they deny it later. Probably has to do with the Kol Nidrei.

being guided

Being (life) guided (inception towards death)...gentiles follow jewish orders, while isreal/yisra'el - "he that striveth with God" implies each jew rebelling gentiles without a cause.

changing the system from within

Nature implies perceivable change; a jew suggests artificial systems to manipulate consenting gentiles from within themselves.

first manhattan; then berlin

First manhattan/munahan (island); then berlin/bär (bear) aka first the land of I (jesus; je suis; I am), then whatever those who take possession over oneself (I am) are carrying (to bear).

If one takes possession over self as "me; myself or I"; then every other one becomes a "you" (phonectic jew).

line moving through station

Station/stacioun - "station of the cross; stop, standstill"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/station

Being (life) implies moved across (inception towards death)...gentiles deny this by holding onto what a jew suggests. De-nial/NAIL of being moved A CROSS...nails one to a cross, while the line (inception towards death) moves through the station (life).

terrorism

Terror/terrere - "to frighten"...a jew utilizes terror-ism to frighten consenting gentiles with suggested outcomes into ignoring perceivable origin.

Origin moves inspiration through mind...fear becomes the mind killer if ones mind holds onto suggested information.

Example: "I'm gonna kill you"...being afraid of death tempts one to ignore being alive. It's ignorance which destroys ones life, while permitting others to orchestrate ones death in advance.

Jesus, Freud, Marx, Einstein

a) Jesus aka je suis (I am) aka taking possesion over self, while ignoring to be potential (life) within procession (inception towards death).

b) Freud (friend) aka holding onto another, while ignoring that nature separates each one from one another, thereby allowing potential to freely express itself, which holding onto inverts into compression.

c) Marx (marks) aka a trace made by the suggestion of another, which tempts one to ignore that all (perceivable) purifies each one (perception) by setting each one apart from one another.

To mark implies tracing an outline, which inverts being (life) within line (inception towards death).

d) Einstein aka one (ein) saint (st) one (ein) aka holy divine aka whole dividing into each one aka "one for all and all for one".

Being implies partial (one) within whole (oneness) aka a division (divine) of whole (holy) into partial aka a saint/sancire - "consecrated", hence consecrated by oil/all into each anointed one (christ).
