Dr Yaakov said,
“One point for you to consider, �Why hasn�t the Chabad leadership called out the crazies?� The answer is simple, �Shtikah Kihodaah.�
With all due respect, and bearing in mind the limited extent of my knowledge of Chabad internal politics, I’m not at all certain that the answer is so simple. We need to determine several things:
1. Who is the “Chabad leadership” today? What percentage of Chabad listens to them?
2. Do they have a functional command and control structure at the global level?
3. What is the threshold of deviation that must be crossed to be considered “crazies” who need “calling out”? Are we talking about “Atzmut Mahutniks” or stam “Meshichists”?
4. Are the crazies too violent or genuinely too crazy to get under control?
As mentioned, I am aware of the case of Rav Bistritzky ??? from Tzfas who did “call out” the “Atzmut Mahutniks”, with the support of other Chabad Rabbonim, only to be physically assaulted and have threats made to his life. So at least some of the “crazies” are in fact crazy to the point of being dangerous. The recent physical violence inside 770 would support this.
As far as items number 1 and 2, some of the most respected and influential figures within Chabad have passed away in the last several years, including Rav Yoel Kahan ???, Rav Ashkenazi of K’far Chabad, Reb Leibel Groner and all of the “Mazkirim”. Which further complicates matters.
If you know more about this than I do, feel free to correct me or provide additional information that might answer the above questions.
