Today’s Quote

“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.”

— F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Supreme Folly of the Supreme Court

Birthright Citizenship was for Black slaves and their Progeny

I continue to marvel at human imbecility—my own and that of the American people generally. I hope that in my case the imbecilic contours of my daily existence are confined to not being nearly as good a father and husband as I should be, and obtusely overlooking responsibilities that are the duty of my state in life.

Concerning my fellow Americans one of the most wrath-inducing imbecilities is the failure to comprehend the extent to which health care in America, already criminally inequitable and discriminatory (the poor receive nowhere near the quality of care of the wealthy) can only precipitously decline further under the weight of illegal immigration.

Impoverished immigrants largely receive their medical care in our already heavily stressed and indebted hospital emergency rooms. This burden dramatically increases costs for citizens, causing some facilities to close and others to curtail services. I can think of no greater threat to our quality of life.

Yet, the very progressives who rightly protest the inequality of health care have embraced a naively utopian ‘we-are-the-world’ Kumbaya approach that amounts to open borders and the flooding of health care services. In a utopia taxpayers could afford to pay for medical treatment for the 8 billion residents of this planet. In the real world the federal government and buccaneer capitalists have told the American people tough luck —until you reach age 65 and become eligible for Medicare, your $150,000 emergency open heart surgery is your responsibility. Yes, the very poorest can obtain Medicaid. Everyone else is risking insolvency to pay the ever-increasing costs. What’s driving the crisis? One exacerbating factor is the citizenship automatically conferred upon the children of illegal aliens born during their parents’ sojourn here.

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order No. 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” The Order stipulated that children born in the United States of parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present here are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States—and thus do not qualify for citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment or the Immigration and Nationality Act, which uses the same language. Several parents filed suit, some in the name of their children, arguing that the Executive Order violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The case, Trump v. Barbara, went to the Supreme Court.

Illegal immigration and birthright citizenship, along with the other leading indicators of the U.S. treasury’s forthcoming collapse into our national debt peonage (to the tune of $39 trillion) has led mediacrats and bureaucrats Right and Left to hector us to ‘tighten our belts’ and expect less from our hospitals and medical providers—and for that matter— less of all that comprises the good life which our grandparents’ work gained for them in the 1950s.

An end to birthright citizenship and a federal law requiring valid photo identification in order to vote (with fines and imprisonment for false IDs), would be a significant step toward a positive future for our people.

However, the Republican Congress “does not have enough votes” to pass the “Save America Act,” and on June 30 Chief Justice John Roberts and his crew (Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson and Barrett) put the kibosh on Trump’s executive order. The majority held that “children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are…citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause.”

If ignorance of the law is no defense, then neither is ignorance of history.

The Fourteenth Amendment was enacted “in the wake of the Civil War with the one pervading purpose’ of securing equal citizenship for the freed slaves. (Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall., at 71). It was enacted, as Justice Harlan wrote, ‘to secure to a race recently emancipated’ the ‘civil rights’ that other citizens enjoyed.’ (Plessy, 163 U. S., at 555–556)

Source: Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissent in Trump v. Barbara.

Justice Thomas added:

The Court’s decision to hold the Citizenship Order facially unconstitutional (i.e. on the assumption that it directly violates the Constitution —Hoffman), in other words, makes it unlawful for the President to enforce the Order against a single person. He cannot enforce the Order against a child of an alien enemy or a child of a foreign spy.

He cannot even enforce the Order against children who are raised in foreign countries, join foreign armies, and fight wars against the United States. The Court, without considering any of these individual circumstances, holds unconstitutional the application of the Citizenship Order in all of them.

In my view, the Citizenship Order is not facially unconstitutional. The Order is consistent with the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause, at least insofar as it applies to children born to parents, here lawfully or unlawfully, who are not domiciled in the United States.

The Citizenship Clause was enacted for people who were born in this country and called it home. It was enacted for freed slaves such as Dred Scott, who had “a domicil” here and therefore were entitled to sue as citizens. (Brief for Dred Scott 6).

…Its authors and supporters promised, over and over again, that it would exclude the children of ‘persons temporarily resident’ here, whom ‘we would have no right to make citizens.’ (Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess., at 572 [statement of Sen. Trumbull])…And, for decades after ratification, it (the 14th Amendment) was interpreted by all three branches of Government and by a wide range of legal authorities to be limited to people who were already Americans.

…The Government and several scholars have suggested some reasons why, they believe, illegal aliens can never be domiciled here. An illegal alien’s entry and presence violate federal law. See INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 468 U. S. 1032, 1038 (1984). He is subject to potential removal at any time. 8 U. S. C. §§1182(a)(2)(6)(A)(i), 1229a(a)(2). (Emphasis supplied).

This is the second of a two-part revisionist study of anomalous and neglected facts about the American Revolution. Part is One is here.

Reading time is approximately 30 minutes. Some readers may find it easier to peruse this text on our Substack website, rather than on a cell phone.

“In American patriotic tradition the first full-fledged villain to step from the wings as the Revolutionary War unfolded was John Murray, Earl of Dunmore.”

— Benjamin Quarles, The Negro in the American Revolution

As a researcher who has attempted for more than 30 years to authenticate and gain acceptance for the anomalous reality of the enslavement of white people in early America, I would be remiss if I were to fail to adequately account for the anomalous situation of black people in Virginia and other colonies who traveled in the opposite direction from the American patriots and their revolution, and sought freedom by bearing arms for King George in the ranks of the British military.

Anomalous it was indeed. The true story is likely to unnerve partisans on the Left and the Right.

Lord Dunmore and His “Emancipation Proclamation”

John Murray was the Fourth Earl of Dunmore. His father William Murray, the third Earl of Dunmore had been a rebel for Bonnie Prince Charlie (Stuart). His son John came to own land in Scotland worked by tenant farmers. Flour shortages in 1766 sparked riots among the workers, who found it difficult to survive while also paying rent to their absentee landlord.

Lord Dunmore’s Lady Charlotte Stuart Murray was the niece of an admiral, daughter of one Scottish earl, and wife of another. She and her sister used their connections to secure William a lucrative job as royal governor of New York. In September 1770 he took up his office in British America. Transferred to Virginia against his desire in 1771, he served as the king’s royal governor in North America’s largest and wealthiest British colony, in its capital of Williamsburg.

Lord Dunmore “proved…an able administrator” in Virginia…Among the first friends he made was an ambitious planter three years his junior…George Washington…In 1773 Dunmore “acquired a dozen indentured white servants and at least 57 enslaved Africans…” (Andrew Lawler, A Perfect Frenzy [Atlantic Monthly Press, 2025], pp. 22-23; 29). Washington was godfather to Lord and Lady Dunmore’s ninth child born in January 1775.

Dunmore was soon between rock and a hard place. Shawnee warriors led by “Logan” were murdering settlers on the frontier, including women and children. Meanwhile, in response to the Boston Tea Party, Britain had blockaded Boston, America’s second largest seaport, as punishment for the patriot rebellion.

One wing of the Virginia mountain man militia, under Colonel Andrew Lewis, a veteran of the French and Indian War, fought the main Battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, at the confluence of the Kanawha-Ohio rivers. Afterward Dunmore pressured the great Shawnee Chief Cornstalk into the Treaty of Camp Charlotte. Cornstalk ceded 40,000 square miles of territory.

Dunmore dissolved the restive House of Burgesses, Virginia’s colonial legislature, on May 26, 1774. From August 1-6, the patriots assembled for an alternative “Virginia Convention.” At this gathering Washington and George Mason submitted an anti-slavery motion from their home county of Fairfax. Their “Fairfax Resolves” demanded an end to the “wicked, cruel and unnatural trade” in humans. Other participants at the Convention declared that the “African slave trade in injurious to this colony, obstructs our freemen, manufacturers and others who would emigrate from Europe and settle here.” These anomalous details are not particularly well-known or commonly emphasized in mainstream education or popular history where they have been demoted to the status of a mere oddity.

In 1774 as the First Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia, Lord Dunmore was in Pennsylvania successfully concluding his punitive militia expedition (“Dunmore’s War”) against the Shawnee. What was the royal governor of Virginia doing in Pennsylvania? He was backing Virginia’s expansive western land claims, which overlapped with those of Pennsylvania. Dunmore treated the Pittsburgh area as part of Augusta County, Virginia. In early 1774, Dunmore’s agent John Connolly had asserted Virginia’s jurisdiction and organized militia.

The patriots’ Second Virginia Convention met in St. John’s Episcopal Church in what was then the tiny village of Richmond. In the aftermath of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me Liberty” oration, the delegates agreed to form a militia to protect the colony from “invasion or insurrection.” At the same time they praised their Royal Governor Dunmore for his “spirited conduct on the late expedition against our Indian enemy” (allegedly in defiance of King George’s command against such reprisals).

As the patriots’ freedom talk morphed into action, enslaved blacks saw their chance to capitalize on the coming conflict by offering to fight for the king if he would liberate them when victory had been achieved, a message a group of black slaves communicated to British General Thomas Gage.

Dunmore had long contemplated the threat this posed to the colonists. He observed that they “with great reason trembled at the facility that an enemy would find in procuring such a body of men who were attached by no tie to their masters or to the country.” Alluding to the 200,000 black slaves in Virginia alone, he stated, “On the contrary, it is natural to suppose their condition must inspire them with an aversion to both, (and) to revenge themselves, by which means a conquest of this country would inevitably be affected in a short time.”

Sam Tripoli interviewed this writer for two hours today for his “Tin Foil Hat” podcast.

The topics for discussion are below.

The program will be broadcast Friday, July 3.

Caveat: I am always seeking a breakthrough to a national audience. Sam is a nationally-known comedian whose humor appeals to the young. His style does not necessarily lend itself to the gravitas to which I am accustomed. Nonetheless, he is sincere and intrepid and in this interview his questions were astute. A chance to reach a mass audience of young people is in my judgment an opportunity not to be missed, and one for which I am grateful to Mr. Tripoli.

I. America 250:

Dark Side of the American Revolution and Its Founders: George Washington’s Federalist Factionalism and Detestation of the farmers of western Pennsylvania.

II. The Good and the Bad of the Constitution’s Approach to Slavery.

III. Black slaves rise to gain freedom by fighting for the British during the Revolution

IV. Thomas Jefferson’s revolutionary affirmation that “Error has Rights.”

V. Twilight Language and Secret Society topics:

A. Freemasonry among the Founders: The 18th century’s hippie movement

B. Revelation of the Method:

1. Denial that unborn children are human beings— a fundamental denial of biological reality —reveals fundamental insanity of American society.

2. Female impersonators —men—claiming to be women and referred to and treated as such— is an elementary revelatory overthrow of indisputable biological reality, revealing the fundamental pathology of America’s “educated” elite. These are flagrant attempts to nullify biological reality by claiming sex differences are “assigned at birth.” No. They are assigned at conception by the Creator. Human beings possessed of xx chromosomes are female. Impersonators claiming to be women and who are described in the media as “trans women” and “girls”possess xy chromosomes. They are male. The association of the word “women” with this impersonation is Orwellian Newspeak.

3. The conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy in broad daylight by a “lone nut” who was in turn was assassinated by another “lone nut” was a blatant, patently ridiculous lie propagated by the media. It was known intuitively in late 1963 and early 1964 by millions of Americans that the murder of the president was a conspiracy. The King-Kill in Dallas was a scripted psychodrama situated near the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude. Kennedy was killed in Dealey Plaza, site of the first masonic lodge in Texas. The masonic icon of Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, the three ruffian assassins of Hiram (who were also invoked in the Jack the Ripper killing in “The Goulston Street Graffito” ), was replicated by the wide dissemination of a photo of three unnamed bums or “hobos” in association with the assassination. The constant repetition of the CIA-sabotaged Warren Commission’s “Oswald was the Lone Nut” factoid was a transparent, revelatory denial of historical reality.

4. The destruction of the Twin Towers on Sept. 11 in the BlackJack gambler’s year of 2001 (21 gateway) plainly reveals their collapse was precisely the same formation as a controlled demolition. Videos of the collapse of the Twin Towers (WTC 1 and WTC 2) show dramatic, relatively rapid, and mostly straight-down failure. Due to the symmetry and speed of the collapse millions of observers have noted the nearly identical similarities to controlled demolitions. No skyscrapers in previous world history were ever brought done by the igniting of jet fuel or the crash of a passenger jet. Steven E. Jones, a physicist at Brigham Young University, demonstrated that fires and impact damage alone could not account for the collapse, pointing to evidence of thermite in the rubble. Furthermore, the “terrorist’s passport” floating from the sky into the rubble and then quickly located was an occult joke on and mockery of Americans. The aforementioned BlackJack meme was made manifest when one calculates the no. 16 Waite-Rider flaming “Tower” Tarot card’s haunting simulation of what ocurred on 9/11, and the alleged Sept. 11 passenger jet crash into the five-sided Pentagon: 16 + 5 = 21.

5. The US Counter-Intelligence Agency’s investigations into Charlie Kirk’s assassination in the wake of his being cut-off by Zionist donors and his turning against the Gaza genocide and Trump’s contemplation of an Iran invasion, and the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler PA—those investigations were halted by Kash Patel’s FBI, according to a damaging revelation by the head of the federal government’s Counter-Intelligence division at the time—Joe Kent—who has also insinuated that Trump’s allegiance to Israeli policy and conquest is motivated by his fear of assassination by Israeli agents.

These matters are studied in my books Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare and Twilight Language, as well as on Substack and in back issues of my quondam printed newsletter, Revisionist History.®

A New Revisionist History of “America 250”

Part One

“Who wants to compute the speed of history? Like all falling bodies, it constantly accelerates.” Wallace Stegner

Conservatives tend to deify the Founders of our nation while Liberals often demonize them. This writer’s view is informed by a Biblical understanding of the depravity of human nature, which brooks no trust in man. All human beings are subject to moral degeneration; to perfidy and breach of trust. Our human nature is inherently vulnerable to idolatry, as our contemporary cult of celebrity indicates. A popular television series with millions of weekly viewers is actually titled, “American Idol.”

We do however, need exemplars when they deserve that laurel. George Washington was a good man who infrequently committed terrible wrongs, including the enslavement of 300 black human beings, and avaricious land speculation.

Among the most egregious of his transgressions was the war he launched on his own people during the farmers’ insurrection in Pennsylvania which has been much glossed over or explained away by authors and professors who have little or no sympathy with the rural white proletariat.

There are of course many actions in Washington’s favor. Judged by the standards of the day, he was more moderate in his dealings with Native Americans than many of his fellow patriots.

Moreover, he was not at Valley Forge to purchase tracts of land or speculate in real estate. He did not risk his life in battle—or at the end of a hangman’s rope in London—for pecuniary motives.

During the Revolution his audacious leadership, outstanding example and virile character, along with those of other Founders, carried our nation through a time of extraordinarily arduous testing, all the way to a victory of unprecedented proportions. For this titanic achievement gratitude is certainly due.

What we do not owe President Washington is blindness to the decay of his rectitude eleven years after the conclusion of the War of Independence; that decay being one of the oldest stories in the history of human nature. “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you…savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will rise up even from your own number and distort the truth…Therefore be on the alert…” (Acts 20: 28-31; italics added).

The Whiskey Insurrection

In the 1790s, shortly after the birth of our nation, thousands of American farmers on the Pennsylvania frontier, many of them Revolutionary War veterans, rose to defend yet again the principles of the Revolution—sovereignty and equal rights before the law, including the rights of the wealth-creating farmers and workers (popularly termed “mechanics”), as opposed to the self-endowed privileges of lawyers, bankers and bureaucrats who produced no wealth other than the parasitic kind, though some furnished necessary services by which labor, in theory anyway, would be protected. The new republic’s wealth was primarily in natural resources—the soil and timber.

The defense of newly won liberties took the form of the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania during which Washington and his Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, behaved tyrannically.

In 1794 the farmers insisted on a radical reaffirmation of the principles of the American Revolution, which they believed did not end with the military victory over the forces of King George III in 1783. By their dedication they numbered themselves as worthy heirs to the Founders who were pledged to destroy plutocracy and class distinctions.

“In Gordon S. Wood’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Radicalism of the American Revolution, published in 1992, he wrote that the colonists were not rebelling just against ‘taxation without representation’ and other…injustices imposed on them from across the Atlantic. Whether they knew it or not, they were also rising up against an age-old worldview in which common people were forever divided from those of noble birth.

“Professor Wood argued that, ironically, the colonists wanted to cut ties with Britain not because they were so different from the English but, in part, because they were so much like them. ‘Liberty, insubordination and unwillingness to truckle to any authority were what distinguished Englishmen from Frenchmen and all the other enslaved and deprived peoples of the world,’ Professor Wood wrote. ‘The English were habitually defiant of authority, and no one at the top of any of the English-speaking world’s many hierarchies ever felt as secure as he would have liked.’

“…For Professor Wood, the men who wrote and signed the Declaration and the Constitution, and those who took the reins of the fledgling government, were towering figures: ‘No generation in American history has ever been so self-conscious about the moral and social values necessary for public leadership.” —David Stout

While I don’t wish to venture too far into the weeds, I believe it will be edifying to furnish an example of what Wood described as the English people’s “unwillingness to truckle.” There are many instances—from the barons and churchmen who put forth Magna Carta to John Lilburne’s stand for the right to remain silent, which inspired the Fifth Amendment to our Bill of Rights. Rajiv Menon recounts an example close to my own heart: the English people’s stalwart struggle for what has come to be known as the right of jury nullification:

“…it was as long ago as 1670 that the independence of the jury was definitively established beyond question. William Penn and William Meade were Quakers. They were prosecuted for preaching to an unlawful assembly. It was a crime in 1670…to have a religious assembly of more than five people outside the auspices of the Church of England. William Penn and William Meade had preached to a group of more than five people on the streets of London. They stood trial at the Old Bailey before a judge and jury, and at the end of the evidence, the judge directed the jury to convict, but the jury refused.

“The judge was furious, and again ordered the jury to convict, stating that they would not be dismissed until they did so. The jury again refused to convict. The judge remanded the entire jury in custody for two days and ordered that they be denied all food and water. As the jurors were being taken from court to prison, William Penn, it is said, shouted out, ‘You are Englishmen, mind your privilege, give not away your right, ‘to which one member of the jury, Edward Bushel, replied, “Nor shall we ever do.’ When the jury returned to court two days later, having not had any food or water for that period, the judge again ordered them to convict. The jury continued to refuse and returned a verdict of not guilty.

“The judge fined the jury for contempt of court and remanded them in custody until the fines were paid. Eight jurors paid their fines, but four refused, and one of those was Edward Bushel, who then petitioned a higher court for the writ of habeas corpus, which, if issued, would result in his immediate release from custody. The higher court issued the writ and Bushel and the three others were released, establishing the right of a jury to return a verdict without fear of punishment from the trial judge.

“This legal challenge by Edward Bushel has come to be known as Bushel’s case and is one of the most celebrated in British legal history. There’s a marble plaque inside the Old Bailey in central London, which reads as follows:

“Near this site, William Penn and William Meade were tried in 1670 for preaching to an unlawful assembly in Grace Church Street. This tablet commemorates the courage and endurance of the jury, Thomas Veer, Edward Bushel, and 10 others who refused to give a verdict against them, although locked up without food for two nights and were fined for their final verdict of not guilty. The case of these jurymen was reviewed on a writ of habeas corpus, and Chief Justice Vaughan delivered the opinion of the court, which established the right of juries to give their verdict according to their convictions.” This is the English people’s contribution to our American heritage.

The farmers of western Pennsylvania were majority lowland Scots and Scots-Irish, nonetheless they saw in the 1776 revolution—which they fought alongside their English-American brethren—a cause worthy of reviving in their time, for their posterity. They believed initially that it would only be a matter of reminding Washington, their revered military commander, of ideals he had forgotten.

Farming, not banking or the lawyer’s craft, was the economic lifeblood among the yeomanry of western Pennsylvania in the last decade of the eighteenth century. On the frontier currency was as rare as hen’s teeth. Money in that time and place took the form of whiskey. Trading their prized “Monongahela Rye” for livestock, wagons, tools, iron, lumber and dry goods, among other necessities of life, was the difference between a farmer-patriarch surviving on the family farm or becoming a landless wage slave. For these sons of toil, the land was their source of wealth, rather than trapping cash in a usury bank or accumulating vast tracts of real estate for speculative purposes.

President Washington chose Alexander Hamilton as America’s first Secretary of the Treasury. To keep the yeomen in line Hamilton devised a taxing system that favored large distillers over small ones, and land monopolies structured so developers could market large swaths of a frontier which musket-toting American farmers were making safe from the American Indian massacres which were being funded and incited by the British Crown. (These ended with the decisive victory of Major General Anthony Wayne’s regulars [known as ‘the Legion’] and allied Kentucky militia, over Native warriors at the Battle of Fallen Timbers near present-day Toledo, Ohio.

Aspiring land owners among the poor, rural, frontier tenant farmers and laborers who could only afford small parcels of acreage, were being deliberately priced out of the market.

Right wing histories of the early American Republic skate over these facts, when they are mentioned at all. The war of rich whites against their poor Christian kinsmen is rarely noted.

I. Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Solved

II. The Zionist Mentality

___________________

I. Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Solved

THE NORD STREAM CONSPIRACY: The Inside Story of the Explosions That Shook the World, by Bojan Pancevski

In 2022 saboteurs placed explosives on the pair of the world’s longest 760-mile undersea pipeline, destroying its conduits and sending billions of dollars’ worth of pressurized gas shooting upward. The Atlantic magazine describes it:

“On Monday, September 26, 2022, at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, an explosion tore open one of the four massive underwater conduits that make up the Nord Stream pipeline. The pipe, made of thick, concrete-encased steel, lay at a depth of 260 feet. It was filled with highly compressed methane gas…The event registered with the force of a small earthquake on seismometers 15 miles away, on the Danish island of Bornholm.”

“Pressure readings would show a sudden plunge as compressed gas screamed through the breach at the speed of sound, tearing the pipe apart and carving deep craters on the seafloor. Gas escaped with enough force to propel a rocket into space. It shot up and up, creating a towering geyser above the surface of the water.

In 2022 senior Ukrainian intelligence and military officers linked to Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi conceived the plot. The goal was terrorism. Nord Stream delivered billions in gas revenues to Russia while locking Europe and in particular Germany into energy dependence. Ukraine viewed Nord Stream as legitimate economic warfare. The perpetrators chartered the yacht Andromeda in Rostock, Germany, using forged passports. They sailed into the Baltic and planted explosive charges at depths of 230-260 feet). The bombs were a mix like RDX/HMX, with charges of 14-27 kg each. Pancevski details how the team had backing from Ukrainian special operations elements but operated with deniability (”unofficial” yet state-linked). Zelenskyy was briefed of the operation and approved it).

Though the book does not divulge the fact, President Biden and Victoria Nuland, his Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, allegedly had advance knowledge of the sabotage and predicted it.

On February 7, 2022, in a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden stated, “If Russia invades… there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it… I promise you, we will be able to do it.”

A few days earlier Nuland had declared, “…one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” After the terror attack on civilian heating resources Nuland said the administration was “very gratified” that the pipelines were now “a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.”

In the words of Robert F. Worth, “The saboteurs inflicted a huge economic blow on Germany by crippling its chief source of energy for heating and industry.”

The book’s author, Bojan Pancevski, celebrates the sabotage, attributing it to “Ukraine’s culture of innovation and bravado.” Mr. Worth hopes The Nord Stream Conspiracy: The Inside Story of the Explosions That Shook the World, “will help restore the reputations of the saboteurs.”

There you have it. The terrorist destruction of Germany’s heating gas pipeline from Russia which led to the deaths in the winter of 2022-2023 of hundreds of infirm and elderly Germans and hardship for millions of civilians, is not a crime given that it was perpetrated by “the good guys” for a “good cause.”

Alibis like this undercut not only the rule of law by which Europe defines itself as morally superior to Hezbollah and Iran, it demonstrates to would-be terrorists in the Third World that sabotage of civilian life support systems is morally permissible if undertaken for a good cause. How do we deter saboteurs and terrorists after what we now know about Nord Stream?

The definition of a good cause is of course in the eyes of the beholder. In the Middle East saving the people of Palestine, by any means necessary, from further slaughter and land theft is as high on the list of noble and virtuous acts as foiling Vladimir Putin in Ukraine by those same means. Once opened, Pandora’s box (πίθος) consumes all.

II. The Zionist Mentality

This week has been ornamented by stock dialogue from the repertory of the Zionist theater of the absurd. One might call them tropes but wishing to desist with further burdening the language with the taxonomy of bombast, we will term them spinners of yarns; a less pedantic though more homely description.

Our first example is not so much a story as our prime exhibit of Zionist mentality. It is necessary however, when under surveillance by those who police expression, to clutter our presentation with a disclaimer: when I write “Zionist” mentality it is not a “code word” for Jewish. I don’t propose to assign to an ethnicity an affiliation with a particular viewpoint, as Zionism and the corporate media do when they speak of the Zionist imperium as “The Jewish state.”

Ideologies indoctrinate mentalities. It is legitimate to point out the effects of the indoctrination which Hitlerism, Stalinism, Maoism and Zionism impose on their adherents. I do not submit to an exceptionalism that exempts the latter from critical scrutiny. Exemptions from universal standards of forensic investigation are what totalitarian process demands. Many conscientious Jews have led the way in defying those demands.

Our first instance turns on two points: holocaust denial and megalomania.

Reporters David M. Halbfinger and Ronen Bergman in the June 15 issue of the New York Times (“Israel Counts the Ways”) expressed their partisan point of view in what was supposed to be a news article. For them Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu did not commit genocide in Gaza and has not killed thousands of civilians in Lebanon and hundreds in the West Bank. How do I deduce this? From the fact that Halbfinger and Bergman want the mass murderer treated with decorum, even a certain reverence, as if he were the prime minister of Norway. The ocean of blood of the innocent he has shed has no bearing on the reception they believe should be accorded him. They wrote:

“While Mr. Trump has praised Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei as pragmatic, he has called Mr. Netanyahu ‘crazy,’ ungrateful and lacking in judgment…On Sunday, Mr. Trump added ‘difficult’ to that litany of insults hurled at Mr. Netanyahu.”

Poor Bibi, the indicted war criminal responsible for the deaths of 25,000 children and more than 70,000 other civilians in Gaza alone, is getting a bad rap from Trump. The Times journalists are miffed that the mass murderer is being “insulted.”

From their prestigious perch reporting for the New York Times Halbfinger and Bergman have deemed it correct to erase Netanyahu’s holocaust against the supposed nefesh-deficient Palestinians and express outrage that he is not being accorded the deference that is due to a statesman. The arrogance is breathtaking — and instructive.

On June 17 in “Stars of Israel’s TV Channel” Isabel Kershner, an Israeli journalist who has reported for the New York Times on Palestinian and Israeli issues for years, we learn that the frayed and tattered “Munich” card is being played for the umpteenth time, part of the tactic of relating any setback for Israeli empire as “just like what Neville Chamberlain did” (i.e. appeasement of the Nazis at Munich). Kershner wrote:

Leading figures from Channel 14, a right-wing broadcaster in Israel that supports Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are openly attacking the U.S. president over his Iran deal….Channel 14 star Yaakov Bardugo, a political commentator who is close to Mr. Netanyahu and often viewed as articulating his positions, described Mr. Trump and J.D. Vance on air as “modern Chamberlains,” referring to Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister known for his policy of appeasement toward Adolf Hitler.

Mr. Trump went to war with Iran on February 28 at the behest of Netanyahu, expending American blood and treasure and nearly shattering the world economy in the process. In a mere ten weeks he has somehow become an appeaser of anti-Semitic monsters, like Chamberlain supposedly was.

Share

Hysteria of this magnitude depends on the eternal recurrence of the haunting of 21st century history by Hitler and the Nazis. Kershner doesn’t mention that prominent Israelis such as the former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon have drawn parallels between “Israeli government ideology” and “Nazi racial theory.”

We’re supposed to believe that no matter how many tens of thousands of innocent civilians the Zionists massacre, Israelis are always the victims of Nazi-like critics. I don’t sense that this transparently shoddy gimmick has much influence at the present.

Also on June 17, Michael Goodwin of the Neocon New York Post in his essay, “Leaked and Classified Situation Room Talks,” raised the specter of the truth being anti-Semitic, which is a common subtext in “Hate Speech” criminalization and First Amendment nullification.

Mr. Goodwin believes that stating the fact that Netanyahu pressured Trump into the war with Iran, and that America was doing Israel’s malevolent work in attacking Iran, constitutes “classic antisemitism.” Goodwin wrote:

In April, the New York Times published an article under the headline, “How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran.”…It began with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s February arrival at the White House…The article said CIA Director John Ratcliffe described Netanyahu”s claim in the first meeting that an attack would lead to quick regime change in Tehran as ‘farcical.”

…Next came a long quote attributed to Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff while he was speaking to the commander-in-chief: “Sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed. They know they need us, and that’s why they’re hard-selling…’

The article’s emphasis on Netanyahu’s plan helped to fuel the emerging narrative on the left that Netanyahu had hoodwinked Trump into the war, and that America was doing Israel’s dirty work in attacking Iran. That view carries distinct tones of classic antisemitism as it blames Jews for everything wrong in the world…

The charge that asserting that Netanyahu pushed Trump into the dirty work of Israeli warfare is equivalent to “blaming Jews for everything wrong in the world,” is so ludicrously exaggerated one wonders whether Mr. Goodwin is playing his employers for fools by mocking their propaganda points with extreme hyperbole. If that was his objective he succeeded, at least in my case — I laughed out loud when I read it.

The Zionist project in past weeks has been unraveling. On Israel and Netanyahu the mercurial Trump is increasingly sounding like Charlie Kirk in his last days. In a notable public rebuke on June 16 linking the Zionist leader to war crimes, Trump lamented that, “Too many people have been killed. You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they’re not all Hezbollah.”

He repeated this indictment at the G7 meeting on June 17. Marco Rubio, standing next to Trump as he spoke his shocking verity at a news conference, looked decidedly uncomfortable and made little effort to conceal his distress.

Trump is privy to intelligence demonstrating numerous examples of Israeli bombing of apartment buildings in order to kill a handful of Hezbollah combatants supposedly present. On March 18, in central and southern Beirut there were multiple Zionist attacks which destroyed or severely damaged apartment buildings. A 10-storey building was leveled, killing at least 10 civilians. Other indiscriminate Israeli attacks hit residential blocks in Bachoura and Zuqaq al-Blat. Israel described this civilian housing as “Hezbollah command centers.”

On April 5 in Ain Saadeh, a Christian area near Beirut, an Israeli missile was aimed at an apartment building on Easter Sunday. It killed the anti-Hezbollah politician Pierre Mouawad, his wife, and Roula Mattar, a neighbor woman. Israel stated it was targeting a Hezbollah militant in the apartment above Mr. Mouawad’s (the apartment was empty). No prior evacuation warning was issued. The atrocity drew widespread outrage in Lebanon, especially among Christians.

Normally these war crimes gain little notice in the US media. Now the president of the United States is articulating some of this writer’s talking points concerning Netanyahu’s gratuitous killing of civilians. Trump may flip his line tomorrow, nonetheless today we are witnessing Revelation of the Method.

The American media have institutionalized the Zionist viewpoint. Reports of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, genocide in Gaza and preemptive attacks on Iran are invariably framed as “the fighting” —fighting Hezbollah, Hamas and the mullahs.

This propaganda pays dividends. It reaffirms tradition: we can live with war. It has been with humanity since Cain clobbered Abel.

The media’s framing device puts us at ease concerning Arab and Iranian civilian casualties. They are the result of “fighting.” Combat with armed adversaries is nothing new and furthermore, the Middle Eastern people who object to the dispossession of the Palestinians are a bellicose lot, so what can you expect?

This is the mentality that has been instilled in Americans: if civilians are harmed by the US or Israeli military, it is unintentional. “In the fog of war collateral damage is inevitable.”

This buncombe plays well to the over-50 generation and those who don’t read social media, particularly “X” (formerly Twitter). On the latter information service, daily feeds from non-Zionist journalists on the ground in the war zones report a stream of Israeli atrocities perpetrated daily and weekly in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon.

Lebanese Christian villages and Christian enclaves in Tyre have been attacked indiscriminately. The Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh has also been targeted.

American “Evangelical” Churchianity is not interested. The victims are largely of the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic faith which many Protestant Fundamentalists do not consider to be of Christ. (Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s spiritual adviser, Rev. Douglas Wilson of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, is on record stating that the public celebration of the Catholic Mass as well as Marian processions will be suppressed when his brand of Presbyterianism [the “Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches”], gains power. Wilson preached at a Pentagon worship service in February at the invitation of Hegseth, who is a member of Wilson’s denomination).

Legacy media seldom report on the sadistic delight which Israeli troops take in bombing, shelling and gunning down children and whole families on a weekly and sometimes a daily basis in Gaza and Lebanon

These Israeli crimes, when they merit any attention from western media, are reported fleetingly and minimally. Much of the time they are not reported — they are grouped, as noted, under the generic category of “the fighting” in Gaza and Lebanon, even though the mothers, fathers and children eviscerated are unarmed. That datum doesn’t factor in the American media.

The myth, the notion that the Israeli state is a normal one like any other with a few bad apples in the government—as in any governing class— must be preserved at the cost of more mass murder of Arab people. Hence, to salvage Israel’s image, it is portrayed time and again, no matter how high the body count, as “fighting” between combatants, not a massacre of the innocent.

It is a thought crime leading to cancellation online and de-banking offline if a reporter were to opine that in this regard the Israeli state has many of the characteristics of the Nazi state. This writer will report what the controlled media will not — a most newsworthy fact:

Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has engaged in a thought crime which would cause you or me to be canceled and de-banked.

On January 30 of this year, Mr. Ya’alon, the former Israeli Defense Minister and Army Chief of Staff published a lengthy statement on “X” in Israeli-Hebrew, prompted by reports of settler violence against Palestinians in the southern Hebron hills the previous week (late January 2026, tied to events near International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27).

In his statement Mr. Ya’alon denounced the rising settler attacks, terming the perpetrators “Jewish pogromists” and “terrorists.”

He accused Zionist police forces such as Shin Bet (the Israeli equivalent of America’s FBI) of being influenced by “Jewish supremacy,” and explicitly stated:

The ideology of Jewish supremacy which has become dominant in the Israeli government, resembles Nazi racial theory.

Moreover, Mr. Ya’alon acknowledged that Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz’s warning about Israelis turning into “Judeo-Nazis” was correct.

This is high octane truth serum. Any news hound worthy of the name would be clamoring to have Ya’alon’s declaration on the front page. In a free press it would happen. In the USA infantilized Americans have no such luck. Even to report Ya’alon’s truth runs the risk of having “anti-Semitic” pinned to one’s back.

“Dr. Elias Jarade is an Orthodox Christian member of Parliament from south Lebanon, Jarade defeated a Hezbollah politician in 2022 as part of a list of candidates seeking to break down sectarian divides….that changed after Israel used booby-trapped pagers to attack Hezbollah leaders two years ago. Jarade, an eye surgeon, was horrified by the gruesome injuries he saw in civilian patients and disgusted by Israel’s celebratory response to the attack, which injured thousands.

“They congratulate Netanyahu for what he has done…Let them come see the children, the elderly, that were blinded by these pagers. How come you are congratulating them? You know what the impact will be. There are two crimes that happened at the same time, the pager attack and the silent attitude of the whole world.” (Cf. Lydia Polgreen, “Lebanon Is Fed Up,” New York Times, June 3).

The celebrated pager attack of 2024, considered by the US media as a masterstroke of retribution against terrorists, reminds me of the equally applauded assassination of Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic regime along with nine other Iranian leaders on February 28. What was not reported in any detail was the fact that this bombardment also killed several members of Khamenei’s family, including Zahra Haddad-Adel, wife of Mojtaba Khamenei; Mesbah Bagheri Kani (the husband of Hoda Khamenei); as well as Ayatollah Khamenei’s 14-month-old granddaughter, Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani. Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, wife of Ali Khamenei was severely wounded.

Imagine the colossal fury that would have erupted in the American media had the Iranians bombed Netanyahu’s house and in addition to killing him and his military commanders and security and nuclear officials, also caused the deaths of their wives and his grandchildren. Persian life however, is cheap and the family members killed by Netanyahu and Trump are not mourned in America, nor are the 175 school girls we killed in Minab at the start of our mass bombardment.

The ferocity of the daily Israeli holocaust proceeds apace with only the faintest sidelong glance from the American media. There are many reasons for this racist myopia. Among the most telling is the Babylonian Talmud’s low view of gentiles as nefesh-deficient — less than human.

Shortly after lunchtime on April 8, Israeli fighter jets pummeled the Lebanese capital Beirut and other parts of the country. They struck densely populated areas without warning. Residents had no time to flee as missiles rained down on crowded neighborhoods that were once considered safe. At least 182 people were killed and around 900 wounded in the attacks.

If, instead of indiscriminately killing Lebanese civilians, the victims were Americans or Israelis, the daily kill totals would be a cause for a five-alarm fire in the editorial rooms and government offices of the West. Everything would stop, nothing would matter, nothing would be comparable to the fury the routine slaughter of Americans and Israelis would elicit. Every time we drove to the grocery store, watched television, tuned to the radio and Internet — photographs, videos, headlines and editorials would be emblazoned with images and texts presenting in horrific detail the atrocities.

At fever pitch and with relentless urgency we would be morally challenged by a question that would confront us in a hundred venues every hour of every day, ‘What are you doing to stop this 21st century Holocaust?’

Because it is Arabs who are being holocausted and because the perpetrators are Churchianity’s manufactured Holy People, human responses to the American-funded and supplied mass murder in Lebanon and Gaza are almost totally absent from the media of mass communication.

This is a Talmudic state of affairs. The “proper authorities” have seen to it that the bigotry of the Talmud of Babylon is not only etched into the press and our educational institutions but ingrained in our collective psyche without any of us having so much as sneaked a peak at a single page of the Talmud. Our rapacious elites have done so for us. The result of their study is the curtain of silence that envelops the shedding of oceans of Arab blood.

The Israelis will not only bomb an entire Lebanese apartment building filled with dozens or hundreds of people with the justification that there were two Hezbollah fighters sheltering there, they kill the ambulance workers who arrive to treat the victims of the Zionist terror attack:

“I headed inland toward Nabatieh, a city nestled among rocky hillsides that Israeli strikes had pummeled for weeks despite the cease-fire. Suddenly, I was in the only car on the road, speeding past shuttered storefronts and ghostly piles of rubble. Almost everyone had left, heeding Israeli evacuation orders.

“I drove to a hilltop hospital to speak with the skeleton crew of medical workers that remained behind, tending to those who were unable to flee or who chose not to. Among them was a paramedic named Hussein Dakdouk. A few days before, he told me, in the aftermath of an (Israeli) airstrike, a man pulled up to the paramedics’ headquarters, his leg badly injured by the blast. Two paramedics rushed toward the man with their emergency gear, and Dakdouk ran to the ambulance to prepare it to transport the man to the hospital. As he turned the key in the ignition, he saw a rocket tear into his colleagues.

“I saw them being blown into pieces,’ he said.

“Two medics and a member of the administrative staff were killed in the strike, he said, three of more than 116 people killed by Israeli strikes on health-care facilities since March, according to the World Health Organization. Rescue workers and journalists across southern Lebanon have been killed in so-called ‘double tap’ strikes, in which an Israeli rocket hits a target, and then another rocket is fired once people arrive to provide medical aid and document the scene. Such strikes were a hallmark of the Gaza war. “Whenever separate previous incidents follow the same pattern, this makes us believe that this is not something random that is happening,” Dakdouk told me.

(Lydia Polgreen, “Lebanon Is Fed Up,” New York Times, June 3. Read her entire article at this link).

In terms of its coverage of Talmudism, Zionism and Israeli warfare, the vast majority of the articles in the Times are supportive and appear in its news pages. Rare essays like the preceding one by Polgreen and last month’s exposé of Israeli prison rape by Nicholas Kristof which are unfavorable to the Israeli narrative, are published largely with the intent of salvaging the humanitarian image of the newspaper and serve as a token propitiation of the concerns of its social justice readership. These sparse essays usually appear on the paper’s less authoritative opinion page, which is the case with the writing by Polgreen and Kristof.

In almost every other respect the New York Times upholds Zionism and fails abysmally to adequately report the genocide in Gaza and the mass murder in Lebanon, while stoking contrived hysteria over “The rising tide of anti-Semitism sweeping America.”

Call to Execute Writers

On May 11, Emory University Prof. Deborah Lipstadt, a World War II researcher who served as Joe Biden’s U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism (she swore her oath of office on a copy of the Talmud), appeared to endorse Adam Louis-Klein’s apparent veiled threat against New York Times personnel for having published Kristof’s report.

On “X” Mr. Louis-Klein wrote, “Julius Streicher, the editor of the Nazi propaganda rag Der Stürmer was convicted of crimes against humanity at Nuremberg for inciting hatred and violence against Jews. He was hanged in 1946…One day soon, history will render the same verdict on antizionism…the contemporary form of Jew-hatred. And when that day comes the New York Times will face a long over-due reckoning. Because we are documenting it all.”

Share Michael Hoffman's Revelation of the Method

Nine days after Prof. Lipstadt’s seeming endorsement of an alleged call to see New York Times personnel hanged for “Jew-hate,” the Times mentioned nothing about it and quoted her positively as part of its anti-Semitism delirium, overlooking her approbation for Louis-Klein’s outburst. The paper’s reporters, Lisa Lerer and Jennifer Medina wrote:

Moments after he learned his nearly 14 years in Congress were coming to an end, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky offered an explanation for his defeat rooted not in his state but thousands of miles east.

“I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv,” he told cheering supporters at his election-night party, referring to the Republican who beat him.

The comment was a clear reference to the millions of dollars spent against Mr. Massie, a longtime critic of Israel and more recently of the war with Iran, by prominent pro-Israel donors and advocacy groups, including a super PAC tied to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

…Mr. Massie’s remark was the latest to strike a nerve among some Jewish leaders, who argue that politicians and their supporters have repeatedly blurred the lines between opposition to Israel and antisemitic tropes about Jewish money and power.

The prominence of such comments in politics — particularly after a series of antisemitic attacks— is alarming and potentially dangerous, they say.

“This is at warp speed, unlike anything I have ever seen,” said Deborah Lipstadt, a Holocaust scholar at Emory University who served as the Biden administration’s special envoy to fight antisemitism. “This is the mainstreaming and normalizing of antisemitism.”

The Economics of the “Sons of the Most High”

Permit me to define my term: the sovereign power of money in America on the part of those who wield it was revealed for all to see in the successful campaign to defeat Rep. Thomas Massie’s reelection in Kentucky. Three plutocrats and two lobbying groups were mainly responsible for spending an estimated $35 million to help a non-entity, President Trump’s lackey Ed Gallrein, win the Republican primary in a district where Democrats typically are not elected.

Mr. Massie is as close to Jefferson and Madison as one will find in the 2026 House of Representatives, yet it was capital in the hands of despots — not the virtue and excellence of the challenger — that decided the race.

Since more distracting nonsense and worthless remedies have been written about economics than almost any other subject, I will focus on incontrovertible fundamentals which are seldom if ever mentioned.

The Renting of Money (“Usury”) is at the Root of the Rule of this Sovereign Power

Both Catholic and Protestant popular treatments of the issue are often hopelessly muddled. Catholics typically blame Protestants for first relaxing the prohibitions when it was Papalist Romanists who have the dishonor.

We observe the muddle in the manner in which a late start is assigned to the history of the “cash nexus.” It is typically dated, as Ezra Pound did, to the Protestant Bank of England (17th century), or the rise of the banking house of Rothschild in the 19th.

Make no mistake: we will not gain victory in this struggle until the name Fugger is at least as notorious as Rothschild.

A better alpha point would be the first century A.D. followed by the emergence, centuries later, of the relaxation of the Catholic ban on usury, the prime engine of Mammonism, beginning in the late 1400s.

In earlier ages, the spirit of the Gospel as channeled by the Church suppressed usury.

Permission for usury first arose in the Catholic “Nominalist” school of theology, heavily subsidized by the Catholic Fugger banking dynasty (1480-1550). Its mouthpiece was Rev. Fr. Johann Eck, Dean of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Ingolstadt, who lobbied for a “moderate” rate of interest (5%).

The Serpent of Situation Ethics Enters Western Civilization

When I denounce even a rate that low I am accused of being unreasonable by those who are blind to the sinister implications of even a 1% interest rate given that they overlook the toxicity behind so much of the subversion of the Word of God—situation ethics.

A textbook illustration of situation ethics is available to us in the first century A.D. with Rabbi Hillel’s nullification of the Bible’s debt-remission plan forbidding any contractual renting of money (“loan”) beyond seven years. This had been God’s way of preventing the onerous burden of perpetual debt peonage among His people, an ungodly burden which Christians suffer in our time.

Deuteronomy 15: 1-2: “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called Yahweh’s release.”

The fact that the Judean and Israelite peasants (am ha’aretz עם הארץ), possessed this divinely endowed liberty severely discomfited the loansharks of the first century.

To accommodate these avaricious creditors, Hillel the halachist (law giver) issued his פרוזבול (“prozbul”)—an escape clause proclaimed in the name of the “betterment of the world.”

How did Hillel “better” it? His situation ethics corrected God’s “mistake,” in this case the Sabbatical, every-seventh-year loan expiration, by permitting to lenders an extension of the enforcement of their loans beyond seven years. Hillel concocted his prozbul to circumvent a direct Torah command.

The Pharisee Hillel (the most admired of all Pharisees in the eyes of the liberal non-Christian and pretend-Christian establishments), founded a situation ethics system long before it influenced avant-garde Nominalist theologians in the Renaissance papal Church — and later among Protestants.

When in the late 15th century Catholic Nominalists were promoting a “moderate” rate of usury they were opening a Pandora’s box of situation ethics.

If it is permissible to charge a low rate for the mortal sin of usury then by the same casuistry it would be permissible to frequent a prostitute who charges a moderate fee for the mortal sin she offers.

There is no end to this lackadaisical chain of situations for everyone’s “betterment.” Under this umbrella, a couple may cohabitate without benefit of marriage because God’s law in the matter of fornication is an ideal, not a command. The situation ethicist is adept at fabricating a multitude of rationales and loopholes.

Reformation luminaries were influenced by Nominalist arguments. Among the latter, the most significant was the Catholic-born French Protestant convert and lawyer turned theologian, Jean Cauvin (“John Calvin,” 1509-1564), who drew inspiration from the French Catholic jurist Charles du Moulin (1500-1556) and Moulin’s popularizer, Francois Hottman.

Moulin was influenced in turn by Conrad Summenhart, a professor at the papal Tübingen University in Germany . He derived from Summenhart the belief that all loans at interest were not wrong; rather they were to be judged by the situation of the borrower.

The argument proceeded as follows: as long as the interest charged was “reasonable” there was nothing immoral about lending for the purpose of “increasing productivity.” Moulin and his successors went so far as to reverse Lateran Councils II (1139) and III (1179) and the Council of Vienne (1311–1312), stating that the borrower who does not pay usury on productive capital is stealing from the lender (cf. Tractatus contractum et usurarum, 1547). This great betrayal, as it spread through the hierarchy of the Church, contributed markedly to the gradual ascendance of the sovereign power of money.

It was from this Roman milieu that Calvin formulated his doctrine. This supposed premier scripturalist, who relentlessly attacked and mocked Catholics for holding tradition on par with the Bible, based his economic teaching on the traditions of lawyer’s equity, which nullified the Old Testament ban on usury. Calvin, a latter-day Hillel in this particular instance, declared that Old Testament laws were not binding on Christians in terms of an absolute prohibition on interest charged to fellow believers:

“I now conclude that one must not judge usuries according to some certain and particular pronouncement of God but only according to the rule of equity”
(De Usuris, 1545).

Share Michael Hoffman's Revelation of the Method

“I am unwilling to condemn [usury], so long as it is practiced with equity and charity.”("Letter to Claude de Sachin, 1545).

“This law [Deuteronomy 23:19] is political and has no more bearing upon us now than equity and human reason carry. Of course it would be good to desire that usurers were expelled from the entire world and that the name became unknown. But since that is impossible we must submit to a common utility.” (De Usuris, op. cit.).

The paradox of Calvin consisted in the fact that personally he was repelled by riches, could not be bribed, and in the early years of the Calvinist citadel of Geneva, Switzerland all usury was forbidden. Even the pope conceded this: “The strength of that heretic consisted in this, that money never had the slightest charm for him. If I had such servants my dominion would extend from sea to sea” (Pope Pius IV, 1564).

Calvin could not derogate Christ’s teaching as he had that of Moses. Consequently, concerning Christ’s teaching in the Gospel of Luke, he seized on the Catholic Nominalist distinction between interest and “biting” interest.

While Calvin had formulated an acceptance of usury hedged by strict qualifications, it was observed by R.H. Tawney that mission drift was bound to occur: “Mankind finds in the arguments of theorists what it looks for. Calvin’s indulgence to moderate interest...was remembered when the qualifications surrounding it were forgotten…”

“Biting” Interest on Loans

A teacher of Calvin, the Protestant theologian Martin Bucer (1491-1551), in his Tractatus de Usuris enlarged on the nominalists’ argument by proclaiming that the Hebrew word neshek, translated as usury, signified that only interest on loans that were so extortionate they “bit” the borrower, were the type of interest that was forbidden. This casuist falsification has framed the debate ever since.

Following Bucer, Protestant theologian Henry (Heinrich) Bullinger (1504-1575) stated, “Usury is forbidden in the word of God (only) so far as it bites his neighbor.”

Bucer and Bullinger were parroting the evasions of the Talmudists in this matter, as John Edwards exposed in his analysis of this fallacy:

“The rabbis distinguish between neshek and tarbith; the one, they tell us, is derived from a word that signifies to bite...and therefore they understand neshek concerning immoderate usury, such as is truly biting and devouring, and this they acknowledge is forbidden by the Law...But the other word, say they, which barely denotes increase, i.e. some overplus besides the principal, expresses the moderate and tolerable sort of usury…

“But this is a mere fancy, and has no foundation in the Holy Scriptures, for these condemn not only neshek, but tarbith...As for that word neshek, it is apparent that it is a general term for all usury; it is a common name whereby that practice is expressed in Hebrew: and it imports the greatness (severity) of the sin, not any distinction of the kinds of usury.” (John Edwards, D.D., Theologia Reformata (London, 1713), volume 2, pp. 547-548).

Bucer and Bullinger’s escape clause permitted evasion of God’s Law. Overlooked in their rationalizations was the traditional Christian belief that all interest, in and of itself, took a “bite” out of the borrower.

Anglican Bishop Lancelot Andrewes rightly observed that “All usury is biting...There is no form of usury that is toothless.”

Andrewes believed that the etymological neshek distinction “...contravenes the principle of the Law itself: ‘Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself.’ For it is an evil rule that decrees, ‘let it be done provided it does not bite.’ Evil I say, and Pharasaic. This is Christian: let it be done provided it benefits. For whether it bites or not, does not matter, if we are looking for true justice; what matters is whether it benefits or not.” (Cf. Michael Hoffman, Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not [2013], p. 189).

Andrewes was articulating a fundamental truth of authentic Christian economics — creating outcomes where everyone wins. Loans free of interest as well as the fair price and the just wage were bedrock early Church principles.

The Emergence of Buccaneer Capitalism

Some folks don’t want to work. The Right wing associates this sloth typically with the poor and exempts the class of idle people who get rich off bank credit, insider trading, and Capitalist cronyism.

An early 19th century example of buccaneer capitalism is found in the career of the bank-credit beneficiary David Ricardo. He was a bond trader in 1815, and as a creature of the Rothschilds he was a beneficiary of their insider trading in the Napoleonic period. The Rothschilds were money creators and major purchasers and underwriters of British and French government debt. As a result they could sometimes dictate to those governments and their royal houses policies they sought to implement or enforce.

The power of money creation is the essence of Money-ism which is sold to the public under the cosmetic euphemism, “Capitalism,” what Thomas Carlyle more accurately termed the Cash Nexus of free market Capitalism — “the shabbiest gospel ever preached…Cash payment has become the sole nexus of man to men…Money is miraculous… but also (see) what never-imagined confusions and obscurations has it brought in; down almost to a total extinction of the moral sense in large masses of mankind.”

Ricardo was what was known as a “political economist," an unabashed mouthpiece for the Money Power and an enemy of British poor people and what we today term “welfare” aid (“poor laws”).

In his 1817 Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, in the chapter “On Wages,” Ricardo delivered a Scrooge-like assault: “The clear and direct tendency of the poor laws is…not as the legislature benevolently intended, to amend the condition of the poor, but to deteriorate the condition of both poor and rich; instead of making the poor rich, they are calculated to make the rich poor.” Ricardo’s ideology enshrined plutocratic corruption while casting poor people as shirkers and loafers.

His views were an enlargement of the Malthusian Principle which had been developed by a clergyman, the Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus in his infamous 1798 book, An Essay on the Principle of Population, as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society. Malthus argued that unchecked population growth, driven by white couples having too many children, inevitably produced competition for scarce resources.

He regarded welfare (poor relief) as counterproductive and “morally hazardous” because it weakened what he saw as the “natural checks” upon population growth (famine, disease, and poverty itself). In Malthus’s view, welfare policies encouraged early and “improvident” marriages by removing some of the natural disincentives for having large families.

He sought to reduce the population of impoverished British people through limitation of births. Because he was an ordained minister writing in an evangelical age he could only recommend periodic chastity in marriage as a means of birth prevention. And like Ricardo, he advocated the gradual abolition of Britain’s existing Poor Laws — rejecting any guaranteed right to food or housing for indigent families — in order to strengthen the incentives for what he termed “moral restraint”: later marriage and fewer children.

Ricardo and Malthus triumphed with Parliament’s enactment of the Poor Amendment Act of 1834 which, in the words of John Cassidy, “applied the harsh precepts of political economy to the labor market, presenting many impecunious members of the lower orders with a choice between starving and entering the loathed workhouses that Dickens would immortalize in Oliver Twist.”

In the face of this moral wasteland arose the protests of Thomas Carlyle, Charles Dickens and John Ruskin. In their writings they offered an indignant remonstrance to the buccaneer capitalism of the political economists. Carlyle denounced laissez-faire political economy in works such as Chartism (1839) and Past and Present (1843).

Dickens, a former child laborer, exposed the cruelty and spiritual desolation of Capitalism in his novels Oliver Twist (1838), Bleak House (1853) and Hard Times (1854), portraying the evils of debtor prisons, child exploitation, bureaucratic indifference, and the reduction of human beings to economic units. Dickens mocked the money ethos through the character of Thomas Gradgrind, who demanded “Facts alone are wanted in life.” In Oliver Twist the eponymous child protagonist barely escapes indenture in the clutches of the chimney sweep Gamfield.

Ruskin was a man who swam in the depths of the high art of our civilization with a mystical intensity. Its spiritual riches were his intoxication. In The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) and The Stones of Venice (1851–1853), he celebrated Gothic architecture for its organic vitality, craftsmanship, and expression of joyful labor — contrasting it with the soulless uniformity of industrial architecture, what is aptly named in our time, the “Brutalist” wing of architecture where our schools, condominium towers and shops resemble prisons and mental hospitals, shorn of all adornment — reductionist husks as empty as modern humanity degraded into the category of “consumers.”

In his seminal text, Unto This Last (1860), Ruskin opined, “There is no wealth but life” — arguing that true riches lie in “human flourishing, joy, beauty, and meaningful work, not the pursuit of money.”

You may reply, “Capitalism’s worst excesses have all been reformed now.” To which I rejoin, the principle behind it remains with us — the nobility of wealth and the relative worthlessness of the working and poor classes — human cattle.

The ridiculous assumption that the British ruling class was sympathetic with its “lower orders” of human cattle (impecunious English and Scottish whites) is disproved by the historical record which repeatedly records their upper class solidarity with highly esteemed “colored” aristocracies and royalty in nations such as India who they privileged over their own yeomanry.

Biblical Free Enterprise

Carlyle warned that a civilization governed solely by profit and mechanistic economics would destroy what it means to be human. A Biblical free enterprise system is very different. Children are treasured. Value is created by labor and invention. Loans are made freely and a debtor who profits from them voluntarily expresses gratitude by paying the lender a share in his new prosperity.

Marxism and other forms of coercive socialism can’t operate because under Christian free enterprise onerous bureaucracies are suspect along with the power of coercion implicit in their potential role in governing. The Homeless Industrial Complex saw California dump billions of dollars on remedying the situation of the unhoused which resulted in more vagrants on the streets and bureaucratic coffers swollen. Homelessness has continued rising in many California cities despite these large expenditures.

New York City spends $44,000 per student in its public schools. “Administrative overhead” in this case is criminally excessive. The percentage that actually reaches the pupils is minuscule compared with what is absorbed by the education caste, even as literacy rates and math scores plummet. The opposite of Capitalism is not Socialism, it is Biblical free enterprise wherein wealth is created by inventors, workers and farmers.

Campaigns to reform banking are filled with nostrums, gimmicks and fraud. I am reminded of Hitler’s phony crusade against usury banks in the 1920s and early ‘30s, before he came to power. The J.P.Morgan bank to which the government of Britain was indebted as a result of waging war on Germany 1914-1918, began to extract funds from the German Reichsbank to pay Britain’s debt to Morgan.

The “Aryan” usurer Hjalmar Schacht, the “wizard of bank credit creation,” led the Reichsbank in the Weimar period and mark this, was placed in power again under Hitler, who had campaigned on the abolition of the very type of usury which was Schacht’s specialty!

This was one among many of Hitler’s most signal betrayals. He forbade Jewish usury and empowered the “Aryan” version. His admirers have fallen for the swindle ever since, falsely considering Hitler a money reformer.

The despotic sovereign power of money dies when denied its “oxygen” — the renting of money. This is where victory is found; accept no substitute for the abolition of usury.

“Sons of the Most High”

Jesus gave us the solution. Christendom has spent the past few centuries fleeing from His divine way and concocting every conceivable replacement or modification. In this we are no better than Hillel. We lose the battle for a just economy every time we defy divine economics and prefer one of our own contrivance.

Two Irrefutable Facts that Need to be Faced

I. Jesus said, “If you love me keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Many times a month I hear people profess their love for Him even as they defy His commandments.

II. His Commandment:

“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.” (Luke 632-35).

Genesis 19: 4-5 “…all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

Jude 1:7: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.”

Revelation of the Method: “America’s Greatest Ally” and “God’s Holy Nation on Earth” has institutionalized rape and sodomy in Israeli concentration camps such as Sde Teiman, which is located in the Negev Desert in the vicinity of the city of Beersheba.

In America decades ago this terrible fact would have been a source of conscience-stricken consternation, nausea and outrage, leading to a nearly complete break with taxpayer financing and “evangelical” church support for so-called “Israel.”

Your Bell is Cracked, the Chime is Gone

But after sixty years in the alchemical cauldron Americans are dumbed-down and distracted to the point where some of our humanity, some portion of the alarms to our conscience and neurological system that would normally lead us to take decisive action—mass marches, protests, boycotts and disengagement—have been deadened by the Videodrome’s screens and the open air civic magic whose theurgic symbols flowing from the occult parallelogram that is Jerusalem, London, Washington and Rome, have become our unremarkable lingua franca.

Today the news of savage crimes committed in Israeli torture camps is little more than grist for the Society of the Spectacle’s mill. Grab a pizza and a beer and take a front row seat.

Among wretched conspiracy theorists this takes the form of a temporary adrenaline thrill, le choc du mois (the shock of the month), to be discarded in June in search of the next titillating crime, preferably one freighted with supernatural baggage. By this process what should be the realm of serious, sustained investigation gets buried under the sawdust of a sordid circus tent.

Under these degenerate conditions attempting to convey to the habitués of a carnival funhouse the gravity of crimes crying to heaven for justice is a rancid futility.

While I aspire to write for the masses, the reality of our situation dictates that my audience is necessarily to some extent an elite one — possessed of at least some scintilla of awareness of what the Revelation of the Method entails in our time and desiring a restoration of what has been lost.

This restoration begins with an austere announcement to the American people like the one the Capuchin friar Francesco da Montepulciano declared to Florence in 1513: “Your bell is cracked, the chime is gone.”

In this putative Age of Aquarius the dam broke on May 11. The deluge was in the form of a 3,700-word report by Nicholas Kristof.

George Orwell forever nailed the semantics of thought control when he wrote in 1984:

Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.…It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought…should be literally unthinkable…

From the autumn of 2023 up to the present the genocide perpetrated by the Israelis in Gaza has largely not been termed a holocaust. With remarkable unanimity witnesses, journalists and activists entirely shocked and horrified by the daily slaughter avoided employing the word, presumably because they believe that to do so would invite a storm of invective which would have vitiated the moral force of their protest.

The Newspeak process has trademarked Holocaust™ as the exclusive domain of one historical epoch, all other memories need not apply, including the memory of crimes against humanity which most accurately fit the main dictionary definition:

Ah, but that was Oldspeak which expanded the range of thought, something which 21st-century people are no longer permitted. Hence, this writer risks contumely and cancellation for bringing to your attention the fact that the fiery immolation by US bombers of 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo in March, 1945 and approximately 200,000 human beings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of that year exactly fulfill what the dictionary primarily defines as a holocaust. The employment of the term expands our knowledge, yet it is forbidden for us to do so.

Forbidden by what mechanism? By an osmosis propelled by ethnocentrism and sustained by the timidity of those who know better but will not defy it.

A candid study of history demonstrates there have been many holocausts, not only the terrible one visited upon the Jewish people by Hitler’s savage occultism.

2017 was the one-hundredth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Benjamin Nathans writes, “The Russian Revolution, to borrow a phrase from Gershom Scholem, the historian of Jewish messianism, was one of history’s ‘plastic hours,’ when inherited institutions melt away, clearing a path for possibility.”

In fact, Russia’s institutions didn’t “melt,” they were burned and shot and exploded away by “messianism” and what remained in the rubble was a path to a future of mass deportation, slave labor gulags and police state terror amounting to a minimum death toll of tens of millions of people, aided by western banks and agents in the British and American governments.

The Russian-Judaic historian Yuri Slezkine took note of the messianic dimension in his brilliant book The House of Government: The Saga of the Russian Revolution (Princeton University, 2017), wherein he acknowledges “the extraordinary presence of Jews in the early Soviet political, cultural and administrative elite.” He also demonstrates how many of them ended as victims of Stalin.

The Russian people were reconfigured as “class enemies, kulaks” or “landlords” and either worked to death in the Gulag or shot outright. All points of view hostile to the Communists were suppressed and quotas were established for the mass arrests of those who espoused them.

In China Mao Zedong viewed the colossal mass murder in the Soviet Union as intrinsic to its success. The legacy of the unspeakable bloodshed Mao perpetrated in upwards of 100 million deaths is the legacy of the death-dealing despots in Beijing with whom American capitalists have done a brisk business, all talk of Mao’s holocaust having been thoroughly repressed. Who cares? Let’s make money.

Of all the scare stories about Artificial Intelligence (AI), this one by Jasmine Sun in the April 30 New York Times (“Silicon Valley Is Bracing for a Permanent Underclass”), is the most judicious, though it suffers from other defects including neglecting to include Elon Musk’s mandate for engineering benevolent AI. Here is my synopsis of the author’s key points:

Jobs Apocalypse Sun writes, “Whether one talks with engineers, venture capitalists, founders or managers, or with doomers, accelerationists, lefties or libertarians, the so-called San Francisco consensus on the impact of A.I. for workers is bleak: many ordinary people will lose their economic leverage as their jobs are automated away, displacing millions.” A concentration of wealth and power will accumulate monopolistically to the A.I. corporations and CEOs and the existing owners of capital. “The rich will be able to deploy super-intelligent machines to do their bidding, and everyone else will be rendered useless and unemployable, left to live off welfare scraps.”

Deus ex Machina AI and robotics will soon surpass human capabilities. “Unstoppable” AI systems will be able to do almost any job a human can and at a superior level.

Lobbyists The pro-artificial intelligence super PAC “Leading the Future,” which has received partial funding from OpenAI President Greg Brockman, has expended more than $2 million on advertisements opposing Alex Bores, a populist congressional candidate in New York who has put forth a plan to finance direct payments to American citizens via taxation on artificial intelligence.

Money Talks Artificial intelligence-related investments—such as those in software and data centers—accounted for 39 percent of U.S. economic growth during the first three quarters of 2025, according to an analysis conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This substantial contribution endows the federal government with a vested interest in perpetuating the artificial intelligence boom. An economic concentration of this magnitude risks inclining policymakers to resist the regulation of artificial intelligence.

When the Automaters Become the Automated No one is immune to super-intelligence, not even those who work —or own—the leading corporations behind these innovations. “It may be feasible to pay human employees even long after they are no longer providing economic value in the traditional sense. Anthropic is currently considering a range of possible pathways for our own employees,” said Dario Amodei co-founder and CEO of Anthropic (maker of “Claude” AI), in contemplating the eventual obsolescence of his own employees as their roles are cannibalized by AI. Which leads us to ask, what firewall will Mr. Amodei and other Masters of the Tech Universe implement to keep AI from sending them to a retirement home, or worse?

Dumbing Us Down: Sun observes: “Recent studies demonstrate that young engineers who relied on AI coding agents not only didn’t complete tasks much faster; they also understood their work less when quizzed about it afterward. The labor market implications are grim. At the same time that early-career workers are competing with AI for jobs, they may be stunting their own skill development by overusing AI tools.”

Revolutionary Violence Absent a robust social safety net and a coherent transition strategy, overt protectionism represents a rational response by workers confronting automation. The prospect that artificial intelligence will entrench a permanent underclass can impel individuals to undertake extreme measures to forestall such an outcome. Populist discontent in turn harbors the potential to escalate into violence. In April, an assailant attempted to firebomb the residence of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. In a separate incident, another individual has been accused of targeting an Indianapolis city council member who had approved a local data center project. The Luigi Mangione paradigm no longer lurks in the shadows.

As noted, the author omits all mention of Elon Musk’s unique AI (named Grok) from her New York Times study. Read more at NYTimes.com

Jasmine Sun writes about AI and Silicon Valley culture on Substack

Elon’s mission for Grok differs from all other AI makers. According to him:

AI “could make us more prosperous, but it could also kill us all. We want to be in a Gene Roddenberry movie, like Star Trek, not so much a James Cameron movie, like Terminator.”

He elaborated by comparing AI training to like raising a child: “It’s like if you had a very smart child — at the end of the day when the child grows up, you can’t really control that child, but you can try to instill the right values. Honesty, integrity, caring about humanity —being good, essentially.”

One might laugh at the gullibility of taking anything Elon says at face value. However, the proof is in the pudding. I have found that Grok is close to ten times more committed to censorship-free responses compared with other AI systems such as ChatGPT.

The reign of machines —“dead matter” in Elizabethan magus Dr. John Dee’s words —has been a sustained occult project whose antecedents extend back through millennia of Western esoteric tradition. Historian Frances Yates was among the first to point out that far from emerging as a Cartesian-materialist phenomenon, the mechanization of existence and the elevation of machines over organic life was a fulfillment of mystical Hermetic and Kabbalistic initiatives: the animation of inert substance. The design finds its prophetic anticipation in the visionary fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, whose Cthulhu Mythos depicts the invasion of demonic entities—so-called “Dark Gods.”

“You know what the name of the military operation was? ‘Eternal Darkness.’ Israel named this operation killing hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, mostly in Beirut, ‘Eternal Darkness.’ … Cause like, why even pretend anymore?”

— Tucker Carlson, The Tucker Carlson Show, April 9, 2026

The Israeli military and top officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, explicitly employed “Operation Eternal Darkness” as the codenamed operational order for the bombardment of civilian targets in Lebanon on April 8.

The Israelis perpetrated at least one hundred attacks in 10 minutes across Beirut suburbs and the Bekaa Valley. The Lebanese government and the Red Cross reported more than 300 people killed and over 1,000 wounded in this single spasm of massive violence.

Modern Theurgy: Pulsa d’Nura

Tucker and others have searched for parallels in Biblical texts for the ominous Operation Eternal Darkness code name.

Cognizant as I am of the extent to which recent Israeli homicidal violence has been propelled by Kabbalistic thaumaturgy, it is not out of the question that the Israeli military’s “Operation Eternal Darkness” has just such a provenance.

Before I proceed further however, some background is necessary. A surfeit of distraction and misdirection surrounds Kabbalah and its formation. Three branches of this disinformation are most influential in sowing confusion: (1) the Renaissance “Catholic Kabbalah” presented by Pico della Mirandola and Johannes Reuchlin and their New Age epigones down to the present, (2) Modern Orthodoxy which treats Kabbalah as a culturally significant but non-essential later development which is subordinate to Talmudic halakhah, and (3) the legend concocted by 20th century academics, that Kabbalah is mainly the product of the Middle Ages rather than antiquity.

Concerning (1): To infiltrate the precincts of the Catholic hierarchy, Kabbalah had to be publicly cleansed of its pantheistic Zoroastrian elements and falsified as an ethical monotheism which “proved” Trinitarian Christian theology, while simultaneously supporting that unquestionable Renaissance virtue, Humanism, (e.g. the suzerainty of man’s brain power and the necessity of employing it to perfect God’s allegedly flawed creation).

Concerning (2): Kabbalah and Talmud are the two indispensable pillars which support the Temple. Kabbalah is the yin path of spirit and mysticism. The Talmud is the yang path of bureaucracy and legalistic micromanagement. The practitioners of each path are united within the temple. Neither can be jettisoned without the Temple falling. Modern Orthodoxy was in part a reaction to Enlightenment criticism of Kabbalah which had become something of an embarrassment in the 19th century. As a public relations strategy emphasis was placed on rationality. Kabbalah was marginalized. In the 21st century the trend is beginning to reverse as rabbinic mysticism has gained new cachet as a repository of the “wisdom of antiquity.”

Concerning (3): The positing of a Kabbalah origin story that is mainly medieval privileges the written corpora of that era and overlooks the oral transmission of esoteric lore from antiquity, thus conveniently divorcing Kabbalah from its roots in the perennial pagan psychodrama of Pharaonic Egypt, Orphic Greece, Zoroastrian Persia and Coptic Gnosticism. [Cf. Adolphe Franck, La Kabbale ou la philosophie religieuse des Hebreux (Paris, 1843); Shaul Shaked, “Iranian Influence on Judaism, First Century B.C.E. to Second Century C.E.” in The Cambridge History of Judaism vol. 1 (1984), pp. 308-325; and M. Hoffman, “The Serpent in the Quattrocento,” in The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome (2017), pp. 138-151].

Kabbalah is more than the synthesis of the darkness of all of these traditions. As we shall see, it surpasses them in its conceptualization of a nightmare cosmos inherently evil at a depth undreamed of by any other diabolism.

Michael Hoffman’s Analysis:

Margherita Furlan’s study of Peter Thiel (below) is edifying from a number of perspectives and worthy of your attention. Much of the current furor around Thiel and speculation concerning his motives and objectives is being generated by the Cryptocracy in order to make it appear as though most any negative verdict is a lurid, crazed Satan-witch hunt.

Furlan is on more solid ground, taking into account the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (remember THRUSH from the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. television series?) — to be led by Thiel’s “sovereigns” [Plato’s philosopher kings].

Furlan demonstrates that Thiel uses the New Testament as a screen for destroying one of the most fundamental insights of the Word of God and tenets of the Founding Fathers — that no man or group of men (or women) however supposedly good, can ever be trusted with unlimited power. There must forever be checks on the fallen human nature of us all.

Furlan writes: “He (Thiel) argues that the Antichrist could manifest as a global system of government that seizes power by exploiting citizens’ fears regarding...nuclear war...

“The Vatican, through Avvenire – the daily newspaper of the Italian Episcopal Conference” writes that “for Thiel, the Antichrist is anyone who places limits on unlimited progress.”

Here we confront a crossroads for the Vatican, due to the fact that western civilization’s most potent and influential advocate of unlimited intellectual and scientific “progress” was the Renaissance Catholic Kabbalist Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, the subject of a hagiography by Pope John Paul II’s Cardinal Henri de Lubac. Pico stood for the Kabbalah’s concept of the sovereignty of human brain power against all restraints. In The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome I document that notwithstanding disinformation to the contrary, Pico enjoyed papal protection.

Now, at our 21st century crossroads, does the Catholic Church embrace the pre-Renaissance Church founded in Christ-ism or the post-Renaissance Church founded in human-ism? Thus far it appears that Leo XIV has chosen Jesus, at least within the narrow aperture of questions of war, peace and the imperatives of Zionism.

Furlan stumbles on one point, when she fails to substantiate her claim that Thiel’s alleged advocacy of the views of René Girard is somehow another piece in his sinister puzzle. Yet, she correctly illustrates one of Girard’s key points: “In archaic societies, violence was channeled through the mechanism of the scapegoat: a sacrificial victim upon whom the community vented its collective aggression…”

In this century our “archaic society” vented its wrath on a scapegoat by the name of Theodore Kaczynski, who was the target of LSD experiments in his youth and who was guilty of some though not all of the so-called “Unabomber” attacks on technological targets. His highest profile role in the Unabomber psychodrama was as a scapegoat. He was apprehended in the Scapegoat Wilderness of western Montana where he had resided for several years.

If you wish to confirm for yourself the paradoxical fact that Unabomber was not only Kaczynski, consider the datum, as I reported in Twilight Language, that the FBI made no serious attempt to locate and interrogate any possible accomplices. He was treated as a lone nut from the time of his arrest — precisely the point when a criminal investigation is supposed to begin in earnest (something similar occurred in 1977 with the arrest of David Berkowitz as the “lone nut” Son of Sam killer). If the authorities know in advance there are no other suspects, then it is a strong indication that they are in on the crime. They rule out accomplices because they are the accomplices.

Thiel’s Iranian Nukes Farce

The hoopla and manufactured hysteria over Iranian nuclear weapons by Thiel and others is a charade sold on the basis of human imbecility. North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads have an estimated range of from 6,200 to 8,000 miles and can reach any target in the U.S.

Iranian missiles do not have sufficient range to strike an location in the U.S., nor do the Iranians possess nuclear weapons. Everything that Trump declaims about Iranian alleged nuclear-armed missiles actually applies to North Korea, against which he would not dare raise a hand.

Palantir

Furlan: “Palantir’s strategic partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defense dates back to introductions facilitated by Jeffrey Epstein….Thiel “is the co-founder of Palantir Technologies, the data analytics and artificial intelligence company whose name – taken from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, where the palantír is the seeing-stone used by the evil wizard Saruman to watch over his enemies – is perhaps the most transparent and unwittingly revealing metaphor in the history of the tech industry...Palantir’s MOSAIC platform is integrated into the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) verification system. When, between 6th and 12th June 2025, MOSAIC flagged an alleged increase in enriched uranium at Iranian facilities – assessing that Iran was potentially just weeks away from producing multiple nuclear warheads – that assessment formed the basis of Israeli intelligence against Iran.”

“...Palantir provides the technological platform for Project Maven, the Pentagon’s AI targeting system. The Maven Smart System – which integrated Anthropic’s Claude AI model through a partnership with Palantir…In the early days of the war, Palantir’s share price rose by 15% in a week – its best performance since August [2025] – whilst the Nasdaq fell by 1.2%.”

Eternal Darkness

“You know what the name of the military operation was? ‘Eternal Darkness.’ Israel named this operation killing hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, mostly in Beirut, ‘Eternal Darkness.’

— Tucker Carlson, The Tucker Carlson Show, April 9.

Share Michael Hoffman's Revelation of the Method

Pope Leo XIV seems to have anticipated this Israeli naming when he stated on March 15, 2026, during a homily at Mass in the church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Ponte Mammolo outside Rome, “Some presume to invoke God’s name in these deadly decisions…But God cannot be enlisted by darkness.”

There is a darkness written of in the Kabbalah which is truly of an extraordinary intensity, a black hole of evil so deep it is unfathomable.

Throughout recent Israeli history, Kabbalistic ritual has been employed in a superstitious attempt to bring about the deaths of Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin (1995) and Ariel Sharon (2005). Hence, there is nothing novel about the resort to these methods.

On May Day this Friday, I will publish a study of the Kabbalistic invocation of eternal darkness as a thaumaturgic operation in the war in Lebanon.

Peter Thiel and other A.I.-powered, would-be masters-of-the universe skirt the involvement of Kabbalah in the highest considerations of the Israeli government. For all their big brain-power conceit they infantilize their audience by the information they reserve solely for their fellow Kings of the Deal.

Today I am providing my English translation of an article by Margherita Furlan, originally in Italian and published on AntiMafiaDuemila.com on Saturday 28nd March 2026.

Peter Thiel did not come to Rome to pray. He came to preach. And the gulf between the two – between the humility of the pilgrim and the arrogance of the prophet – is precisely what the Vatican sensed, and from which it distanced itself, the very moment the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir stepped through the doors of the Renaissance Palazzo Orsini Taverna to launch, on 16th March [2026], a series of four closed-door lectures on the Antichrist.

Four days of private, invitation-only lectures, bound by confidentiality clauses, held a stone’s throw from St Peter’s Basilica whilst in Iran – according to estimates by the Iranian Red Crescent and various human rights organisations – between 1,230 and 1,300 civilians were being killed by US and Israeli airstrikes. Among them were over 165 girls from a girls’ primary school in Minab, in Hormozgan province, struck on 28th February [2026] by an American Tomahawk missile [see here and my article on the first day of the Ramadan War between USrael and Iran].

The timing is no coincidence. It never is, when it comes to Peter Thiel. And to understand what he really came to Rome to do, it is necessary to bring together three planes that remain separate in the conventional media narrative: theology, technology and war. Because in Thiel, these three planes are one.

The Architect of the Apocalypse

Peter Andreas Thiel, 58, born in Frankfurt [Germany], a naturalised American, with a net worth estimated by the New York Times at $27.5 billion, is not simply a tech billionaire with religious curiosities. He is a political theologian in action. Father Paolo Benanti, advisor to Pope Leo XIV on Artificial Intelligence [AI], put it with surgical precision in an essay published on the eve of the Roman lectures: Thiel is “above all a political theologian operating at the very heart of the Silicon Valley ecosystem”, and his theories represent a “radicalisation” of Western values – individualism, technological progress, the spirit of competition – taken to their ultimate consequences.

To understand Thiel, one must start with René Girard, the French philosopher who taught at Stanford in the 1980s and whose mimetic theory constitutes, by Thiel’s own admission, the backbone of his worldview. Girard – a heterodox Catholic and pacifist who died in 2015 – had developed a theory of imitation according to which all human desires are desires imitated by others. This mimesis generates rivalry, which in turn generates violence. In archaic societies, violence was channeled through the mechanism of the scapegoat: a sacrificial victim upon whom the community vented its collective aggression, temporarily restoring peace.

Christianity, according to Girard, had exposed this mechanism: Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross was the definitive revelation of the victim’s innocence and the injustice of the sacrificial mechanism. An act that opened up the possibility – not the certainty – of renouncing violence.

But Girard was also an apocalyptic thinker. In his final essay, “Achever Clausewitz” (Taking Clausewitz to the Extreme), he argued that contemporary humanity found itself in an apocalyptic phase, not in the fundamentalist sense – it was not looking for the number 666 – but in the sense that mimetic violence, in the age of nuclear weapons and globalisation, had reached a potential for total destruction. Either humanity embraced Christian non-violence, or it was heading towards self-destruction. The Apocalypse, for Girard, was not the punishment of a vengeful God, but the consequence of human violence left unchecked.

Thiel took this framework and radically transformed it. He retained the structure – mimesis, violence, the Apocalypse – but reversed its moral direction. Whereas Girard was a pacifist who saw the renunciation of violence as the only path to salvation, Thiel has constructed a system in which violence can be a necessary tool, and in which unlimited technological progress – not renunciation – is the path to salvation.

The Antichrist according to Thiel: when peace becomes suspect

The Rome lectures, according to accounts by the Washington Post and UCA News, followed the pattern of his previous conferences in San Francisco (September 2025) and Paris. Thiel’s vocabulary is built around two Greek theological concepts: the katechon and the eschaton.

The katechon, in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, is “that which restrains” – the force that delays the manifestation of the supreme evil. The eschaton is the final fulfilment of history. In the Christian tradition, these categories have been handled with caution, often with a sort of intellectual modesty. In Thiel, they become operational, almost strategic, categories.

On the one hand, Thiel places the katechon: Constantine, the Tridentine liturgy, the political order, stabilised wealth. On the other, the eschaton: Mother Teresa, non-violence, liberation theology, a Church beyond the economy. A binary construct that compresses the millennia-old complexity of Christianity into a clear-cut opposition, serving a pre-determined thesis.

The heart of the argument emerges when Thiel speaks of the Antichrist. He does not mean this as a revelation in the biblical sense – an unveiling of God – but as a lens through which to interpret the present. He argues that the Antichrist could manifest as a global system of government that seizes power by exploiting citizens’ fears regarding artificial intelligence, climate change or nuclear war.

The Vatican, through Avvenire – the daily newspaper of the Italian Episcopal Conference – has translated this thesis into its logical consequence: for Thiel, the Antichrist is “anyone who places limits on unlimited progress”. Peace itself becomes suspect. Thiel insists on a passage from the First Letter to the Thessalonians: “when they say, ‘Peace and safety’, then sudden destruction will come upon them”. The quotation is accurate, but its use is revealing: peace, in Thiel’s contemporary discourse, becomes the sign of an imposed order, of stability acquired at the price of freedom.

Who, in concrete terms, are the servants of the Antichrist in Thiel’s system? Regulators. Multilateralists. Climate activists. Those who propose global governance of artificial intelligence. Those who wish to limit the power of tech platforms. Those who invoke international law. In a formulation circulating among those who attended the San Francisco lectures, critics of AI are potential “legionaries of the Antichrist” because they slow down the progress that could counter real threats – such as, in Thiel’s view, China’s military technological advance.

The Antichrist, therefore, is not the horned beast of popular imagination. In Thiel’s cosmology, the Second Coming will not descend from the heavens; it will emerge from the laboratory. And the bureaucrat, the activist, the regulator are those who stand in its way.

The “political miracle” and the delegitimization of democracy

One of the most revealing passages in the Rome lectures concerns the concept of the “political miracle”. Thiel distinguishes between the supernatural miracle and the political miracle: the latter is the ability to promise the impossible, to hold irreconcilable opposites together, to offer a synthesis that neutralises conflict. This is no trivial insight: contemporary politics is full of such promises. But when this category is applied to democracy itself, the next step is an implicit delegitimization: democracy becomes a rhetorical device, a word whose meaning depends on who uses it.

This is where Thiel converges with Carl Schmitt, the German jurist whose thought – the friend/enemy distinction as the foundation of the political – Thiel is a close reader of. In the essay ‘The Straussian Moment’ [link], written in 2004 for a conference at Stanford significantly titled “Politics and Apocalypse”, Thiel attempted to weave together Schmitt’s political theology and Leo Strauss’s vision of hidden hierarchies and esoteric wisdom. There he wrote that the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, tolerance and individual rights offered insufficient protection against existential threats.

The operative conclusion is clear: if liberal democracy is a “political miracle” – that is, an illusion that holds together the irreconcilable – and if the Antichrist is the one who proposes global order and regulation, then true leadership must be exercised by those who see beyond the illusion. By those whom Thiel calls “sovereign individuals” or “founders” – figures capable of escaping the cycle of imitation and creating new realities. A technological and financial elite that is not subject to the rules of the democratic game but which determines its conditions.

Avvenire has perfectly grasped this implication, defining Thiel’s vision as the project of a “superplutocracy” that “monitors and protects humanity from the arrival of the Antichrist”. Protection as surveillance. Salvation as domination.

The weapon of prophecy: Palantir and the war on Iran

And this is where theology becomes technology, and technology becomes war. Because Peter Thiel is not merely a political theologian.

He is the co-founder of Palantir Technologies, the data analytics and artificial intelligence company whose name – taken from Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”, where the palantír is the seeing-stone used by the evil wizard Saruman to watch over his enemies – is perhaps the most transparent and unwittingly revealing metaphor in the history of the tech industry.

Palantir is at the heart of the war in Iran. It is so in a way that constitutes what an investigation by Byline Times has termed an unprecedented “double conflict of interest” in the history of nuclear non-proliferation.

First level: intelligence. Palantir’s MOSAIC platform is integrated into the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) verification system. When, between 6th and 12th June 2025, MOSAIC flagged an alleged increase in enriched uranium at Iranian facilities – assessing that Iran was potentially just weeks away from producing multiple nuclear warheads – that assessment formed the basis of Israeli intelligence against Iran. The IAEA Board of Governors approved a non-compliance resolution on 12th June. Israel struck the following day. Trump then authorised the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. [See my coverage of the 12-day war and the events that lead to it here]

But three months earlier, Tulsi Gabbard – Trump’s Director of National Intelligence – had confirmed to Congress that the consensus of the US intelligence community was that Iran was not pursuing a military nuclear program. Congressman Seth Magaziner, who had attended the briefing, stated that there was “no intelligence indicating that Iran was planning an attack on the United States”. Senator Elizabeth Warren said that the war “had been launched without any imminent threat to our nation.”

Second level: targeting. Palantir provides the technological platform for Project Maven, the Pentagon’s AI targeting system. The Maven Smart System – which integrated Anthropic’s Claude AI model through a partnership with Palantir – generated over a thousand strike options for the US armed forces in the early stages of Operation Epic Fury. This technology accelerates the “kill chain” – the process of identifying, approving and striking targets – reducing “a human workload of tens of thousands of hours to seconds and minutes”, by automating “targeting decisions made by humans in ways that raise all sorts of problematic legal, ethical and political questions”.

Third tier: profit. In the early days of the war, Palantir’s share price rose by 15% in a week – its best performance since August [2025] – whilst the Nasdaq fell by 1.2%. Analysts at Rosenblatt raised their target price from $150 to $200, writing that “the conflict in the Middle East is positive for Palantir’s government pipeline”. The share price has gained 17% in a month. US government revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 had already grown by 66% year-on-year, reaching $570 million, and the company forecasts 61% growth in 2026, with a target of $7.19 billion. CEO Alex Karp, speaking at the AIPCon conference in Maryland, explicitly stated that Palantir’s software is assisting US allies in the Middle East.

The circle is complete: Palantir provides the intelligence that justifies the war, the technology that wages it, and profits from the outcome. The company whose co-founder preaches the Apocalypse in Rome is the very same one selling the tools to bring it about in Iran.

The three co-founders: war as a foretold destiny

The Byline Times investigation revealed a fact that should be at the heart of any discussion on the legitimacy of this war: Palantir’s three most prominent figures had all publicly argued that the conflict with Iran was inevitable, before the conflict itself began.

Peter Thiel, in a 2024 interview with Bari Weiss, had argued for the need to cooperate with Israel to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, drawing a historical parallel with the Soviet Union’s acquisition of the bomb (1949, followed by the Korean War) and that of Communist China (1964, followed by the escalation in Vietnam). “Every time a country has acquired a nuclear weapon, we have had a regional war,” he had said. The conclusion was clear: preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon was a strategic necessity that justified military action. In 2024, Thiel and Karp traveled together to Israel, where Palantir became a strategic partner of the Israeli Ministry of Defence.

Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir, was the most outspoken. In an interview with CNBC in June 2025, during the twelve-day war between Israel, the United States and Iran, he called for pre-emptive strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and stated that he hoped to “invest in Iran” following a regime change.

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, had warned in 2024 that the United States would “most likely” end up fighting a multi-front war against Russia, China and Iran, and that war with Iran would demonstrate the value of the company’s autonomous weapon systems. Those who provided the evidence, those who called for war, those who profit from it: they are the same people.

The shadow of Epstein

A further thread links Palantir’s military partnership with Israel to one of the darkest chapters in the history of the American establishment. US Department of Justice documents, published by the House Oversight Committee in 2026, reveal that Palantir’s strategic partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defence dates back to introductions facilitated by Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein spent years putting Thiel in touch with former Israeli Prime Minister and former Defence Minister Ehud Barak, arranging at least six separate meetings. A dinner in June 2014 at Epstein’s Manhattan flat brought all three together to discuss Israeli security. According to Epstein’s emails, the conversation touched on “Assassination squad. Ice cream”. Thiel replied: “Agreed – very Israeli and very stimulating. Thanks for including me!” They met again in Israel in June 2017.

The relationship yielded concrete business deals: Epstein directed Thiel towards two Israeli cybersecurity start-ups with roots in Unit 8200, the Israeli military’s cyber-intelligence arm. Barak also urged Epstein to organise a seminar on AI and warfare with Thiel and others. The documents further show that Valar Ventures, Thiel’s fund, accepted $40 million from Epstein, and that Thiel exchanged extensive correspondence with him for five years prior to his death.

Today, Palantir supplies AI targeting tools to the Israeli military. When asked about ethical concerns, Thiel stated:

“My inclination is to defer to Israel.”

Eschatological convergence: Thiel and evangelical Christian Zionism

The Roman lectures on the Antichrist are not an isolated academic exercise. They form part of a broader phenomenon of convergence between various eschatological currents that find prophetic confirmation in the war in Iran.

Evangelical Christian Zionism – dominant among Trump’s electoral base – interprets Middle Eastern events through the lens of dispensational premillennialism: Israel must control the entire Holy Land, the Temple must be rebuilt, Israel’s enemy nations must be defeated, and only then will Christ return. War is the theological prerequisite for redemption. In this view, Iran – identified by many evangelical preachers with biblical Persia – is an eschatological actor whose defeat is foretold in the Scriptures.

Thiel does not share the crude premillennialism of the Texas preachers. His Girardian background provides him with a far more sophisticated intellectual framework. Yet he arrives at convergent practical conclusions. For evangelicals, war is God’s plan. For Thiel, war is the consequence of technological stagnation and the inability to overcome mimetic violence – yet it is nonetheless inevitable, and must be fought with the most advanced tools possible. In both cases, negotiated peace is a temptation of the Antichrist.

This convergence is no accident. Thiel was the intellectual mentor and principal financier of J.D. Vance, the current Vice-President of the United States. He invested millions in his Senate campaign, introduced him to the thought of René Girard — an influence that led to Vance’s conversion to Catholicism — and acted as a bridge between the libertarian tech world and conservative American Catholicism. Vance even quoted St Augustine — the spiritual founder of Pope Leo XIV’s religious order, the Augustinians — to defend the Trump administration’s crackdown on migrants.

The Thiel-Vance axis is the point of convergence between apocalyptic theology and American executive power. The mentor preaches in Rome while the protégé sits in the White House.

Why the Vatican is concerned

The Vatican’s reaction to Thiel’s lectures was calibrated with the diplomatic precision that distinguishes the Holy See, but was no less significant for that.

Two Catholic institutions initially associated with the event – the Pontifical University of St Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) and the Catholic University of America [CUA] – have publicly distanced themselves. The Angelicum stated: “We wish to clarify that this event is not organised by the University, will not be held at the Angelicum, and is not part of any of our institutional initiatives”. CUA specified that “The Cluny Project is an independent initiative incubated at the University.”

Avvenire, the CEI’s daily newspaper and an authoritative voice in the Italian Catholic world, did not mince its words: it described Thiel as “an agent of chaos” and wrote that his vision favors the replacement of democracy and the rule of law with an elite “super-plutocracy”. The Vatican’s official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, published a strongly worded article describing Thiel as “the dark side of technology.”

Father Benanti offered the most articulate critique: Thiel is a “political theologian” whose vision should be understood as a radicalisation – not an expression – of Western values.

He added, in a detail worthy of reflection: “Peter Thiel does not believe that humanity can be redeemed.” If this is true, then we are faced with a Christianity without redemption – an eschatological framework that retains the Apocalypse but eliminates hope, which preserves judgement but removes mercy. A Christianity that serves power, not salvation.

Pope Leo XIV did not meet Thiel and, according to official schedules, no meetings were planned. The Pope kept his distance, but the context of his statements speaks for itself. On the very day of Thiel’s lectures, 15th March [2026], Leo XIV issued his strongest appeal since the start of the war: “In the name of the Christians of the Middle East and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! Let the channels of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace that the peoples await”.

And on 17th March [2026], speaking to journalists while Thiel was giving his final lecture at Palazzo Orsini Taverna, Leo XIV said that the media must not “become a megaphone for power” in times of war. The day before, addressing priests attending a course on confession, he had asked: “Do those Christians who bear grave responsibilities in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and go to confession?”

“Some presume to invoke God’s name in these deadly decisions,” said the Pope. “But God cannot be enlisted by darkness.”

The remark was addressed to everyone, but in the context of Thiel’s visit, the message took on a particular resonance.

The paradox of Palazzo Orsini Taverna

Francesco Sisci, director of the Appia Institute, put the visit into perspective with clarity: “The godfather of the new tech billionaires coming to Rome is proof of the Pope’s importance and of the fact that Catholicism has, in some ways, come back into fashion. The Pope is no longer a distant figure but is more involved in American politics”.

But he added: ‘As an American Pope, he is likely to keep his distance from Thiel. The Vatican will be careful not to be manipulated”.

This observation captures an essential point. Thiel’s visit is not an intellectual whim. It is a positioning manoeuvre within a cultural and theological war for the soul of Catholicism – and, by extension, for the spiritual legitimisation of a certain model of power. Conservative American Catholic circles, such as the Cluny Institute and the Vincenzo Gioberti Association, are testing the limits of what they can achieve in Rome, attempting to construct a Catholicism compatible with Thiel’s vision: a Christianity that places no limits on progress, that does not interfere with war, that does not hold shareholders to account.

Professor Massimo Faggioli, of the School of Religion at Trinity College Dublin, offered an illuminating perspective: “This is part of a series of moves by American conservative Catholic circles to test Rome and see what they can get away with.”

The perfect circle

Let us tie up the loose ends.

Peter Thiel is a political theologian who preaches the inevitability of the Apocalypse.

He is the co-founder of the company that provided the intelligence to justify the war on Iran. He is the mentor of the Vice-President of the United States. He is a shareholder who profits directly from the war. He is the intellectual who provides the sophisticated framework – Girardian, Schmittian, Catholic – within which evangelical Christian Zionism and the military-industrial complex find philosophical legitimisation.

In his view, the Antichrist is not the algorithmic system that decides who lives and who dies without human sentiment – he builds that himself; it is called Palantir. The Antichrist is whoever seeks to regulate it. The Antichrist is negotiated peace, international law, multilateral governance, ethical AI. The Antichrist is, ultimately, anyone who stands between Silicon Valley and its manifest destiny.

The Maven Smart System generates attack options. The Ayatollah is killed. The (school)girls of Minab die. Palantir’s share price rises by 17%. And in Rome, in the hall of a Renaissance palace, the prophet of the Apocalypse explains to a select audience that all this is necessary, that history has a meaning, that progress does not stop, and that those who call for peace are – perhaps – servants of Evil.

Outside, in front of the Italian Ministry of Defense, a group of protesters holds a bilingual banner: “Peter Thiel out of Rome. The techno-oligarchs of war out of Rome”.

And from the window of his study overlooking St Peter’s Square, the first American Pope in history says: “Cease fire”.

War is the product. Chaos is the raw material. And the Apocalypse, for those who know how to monetise it, is the most profitable of business plans.

Henry Ford famously quipped, “History is more or less bunk” (Chicago Tribune, May 25, 1916). I think he meant that sweeping claims by didactic authorities who proclaim alleged facts are often engaged in cover-ups and omissions.

One neglected lacuna constitutes a searing indictment of the Republic of Letters in America. It involves the falsification of the life of one of the most famous “alternative” writers of the 20th century, Jack Kerouac, whose last year on earth contains enough material for books and plays yet is elided into a skimpy recitation of what his chroniclers deem a sordid period unworthy of any significant narrative development.

The hacks have blacked out the identity of the On the Road author’s final friend Charles Saunders (1943-2025), and his family, who had considerable influence on Kerouac’s mother and his wife, Stella. Biographies by Ann Charters, Gerald Nicosia, Barry Miles, Paul Maher, Jr. and others overlook the Saunders.

Alexander Saunders had been a university professor in Texas before he relocated his family to St. Petersburg, Florida. He was an authority on the Hicksite Quakers and the novels of G.A. Henty. His wife Mildred was a friend of Kerouac’s mother Gabrielle who was residing with her son and Stella Sampas Kerouac. The Sampas family and the Saunders were old friends.

Alexander and Mildred had three sons. One of them, Richard, was a character out of a Florida gothic —an impoverished marine biologist who moonlighted as a security guard and led a right-wing extremist group in Florida.

His erudite brother Charles, an army veteran with a near-photographic memory and fluency in French, ancient Greek and Latin, lived at home, read voraciously and when Kerouac came calling in the last weeks of his life, bottles in hand (Jack drank boilermakers, Charles confined himself to beer), the friendship was sealed.

To this writer Charles related Kerouac’s bitterness at his “Beat” pals — Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Alan Ginsberg, William Burroughs and others who in 1969 were embarrassed by him and had largely deserted their quondam boon companion. Charles was infuriated when immediately after his death they came out of the woodwork to mug for the national media and claim the mantle of “Jack’s best friend.”

A few years later Charles became a colleague of my mentor, James Shelby Downard who, in the mid-1970s pulled into a St. Petersburg trailer park in an Airstream motorhome. These are among my first impressions of Mr. Downard:

“His conversation that day ranged from the occult significance of the Theremin musical instrument to the sorcerous implications of elevators; the relationship he had with an evanescent rabbit named Petey; the sinister connotations of the circus and the mystical topography of the American Southwest, which Mr. Downard knew the way you and I know our backyard. As he fried our hamburgers, he regaled us in his prospector’s drawl with the hidden wonders of a tapestry of coincidences which he wove from the seemingly mundane details of everyday living into a magic carpet of incomparable strangeness and peerless utility.”

Bill, another member of the brain trust, suggested I join the colloquy. I subsequently made the first of my trips to St. Pete to commune with these savants. Their conversation sparkled like pearls before wine. Later I was a guest in the Saunders family home.

Like Mr. Downard, Charles was a dutiful correspondent and I saved his many delightfully discursive missives mailed over a period of more than 20 years. (I enclose a sample below, photographically reproduced).

I have thought of publishing them with the title, “Letters from Jack Kerouac’s Final Friend.” Then I thought better of it. Since this datum is denied by every establishment biographical source, who would review or credit my recollection?

Memory-holing Charles and Mildred is an act of vandalism against the record of the life of Kerouac, whose last weeks on earth were spent as Charles’s virtual student.

In 1983 I wintered in St. Petersburg with my family after having been fired by a New York radio station for broadcasting a 40-minute documentary, “Zionism, Racism and the Beirut Massacre,” on the terror bombing of Beirut from June through August, 1982 by the Israeli Air Force. (Not much has changed—44 years later and we’ve witnessed yet another horrendous massacre from the air in Beirut).

Almost every gentile employee of the station demurred when asked to support this writer. My main defenders were two Jews, attorney Alfred Lilienthal and Noam Chomsky. While he had pressing duties as Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Noam nevertheless spent two days lobbying my employers, attempting to persuade them to reinstate me, to no avail.

That winter Stella gifted Charles a privately printed pamphlet Jack had written imagining St. Joseph hanging with camel herders and discussing the best trails into Egypt, prior to the Flight of the Holy Family from Herod. It was the literary version of a Caravaggio painting — Joseph as a regular guy with dusty feet and a threadbare cloak, preferring the company of working stiffs.

For writers with the requisite curiosity and scholarly energy a rich vein awaits those willing to mine the Kerouac’s familial and friendship ties in 1969. However domestic, they illuminate an unknown corner of the life of the founder of an entire movement. Specialists in the lives of Jane Austen, JD Salinger or almost any other illustrious member of the canon would be ecstatic to encounter a fount of revelation concerning their subject’s final months.

Not so with Kerouac’s dullard biographers. Political correctness and woke dogma are the killers of curiosity and the advancement of knowledge. In the future, this will change. Jack is too beloved, too much read and discussed for the blackout to hold fast for much longer.

The pity of it is that I contacted many of his big-shot biographers while Stella and Charles were alive and available to confirm the truth with details and names. One of them was enthusiastic when I informed him I had information about Kerouac’s last comrade. He became frosty however, when he learned of the “extremist right wing” connection.

Whatever one may think of his radical politics and historical views, Charles was a gentleman of spotless character, one of the most upstanding and non-mercenary persons it has been my privilege to know. He never sought to profit from his friendship with the world-famous author. He was so protective of Kerouac’s legacy he wouldn’t acknowledge that alcoholism was his cause of death and was scandalized when that fact was published in the local paper.

Share Michael Hoffman's Revelation of the Method

As studies of the work of James Shelby Downard continue to grow, attention on the contribution of Charles Saunders to Shelby’s corpus also grows. Were it not for Charles, Mr. Downard’s Summa Fortologica, Stalking the Great Whore, would probably have not seen print.

Moreover, Charles was schooling Jack in the esoteric history of the West. Statements overheard by patrons at one of Kerouac’s watering holes, the Wild Boar in Tampa reflected the Saunders influence. The following was related by Lawrence R. Broer in Kerouac at the Wild Boar (John Montgomery, ed., 1986, p. 12):

Kerouac, I was to learn, looked with horror and abomination on literary poseurs and literary notoriety, and fled both like the plague. One reason he hid out at the Boar, he informed us, was to escape the “hundreds of petitioners for my time,” which he said was also responsible for the “bathtubs of booze that have passed through my gullet.”

And academic conversations, such as the one I had tried to steer him into, were anathema to him. They seemed to bore and sadden him. One night for instance, he found himself being cross-examined by a university professor who had entered into the conversation uninvited, and I never saw Kerouac looking more vulnerable or forlorn.

“Kerouac, you’re a joke, you don’t think,” the professor said insolently. “You have no head.”

Wearily, Kerouac answered, “Man that’s all I do—write and think.”

“Then why are all your characters brainless bums?” the professor put in. “Why don’t you write about people who can use their minds?” He was sneering as he said this.

Kerouac…looked around for the nearest route of escape. Moving out of the booth, he suddenly peered at his antagonist and asked, “Say, what do you teach, Math?”

The man answered that it was “Humanities,” and Kerouac cried down at him, grinning triumphantly. “Ha! I create what you profess.”

Then Kerouac said something truly bizarre, as if he and the Professor shared a secret unknown to the rest of us at the table. “Look, don’t worry, we want you, see. The Aryans are wise to the Jews.”

The Saunders tutelage was also on display in Kerouac’s controversial statements to Florida-area newspapers and in his posthumously published interview in the March, 1970 edition of Esquire magazine — however distorted by Establishment writers keen to portray the Beat founder as a crackpot.

One of the central people in the last chapter of Jack Kerouac’s life is nowhere to be found —via col vento — amid the mountain of books, symposia and articles that have poured forth since the Beat author’s death.

Henry Ford spoke truly.

I am as weary as many of you are of the cheap polemical trick wherein someone losing a debate resorts to the tired, shopworn tactic of accusing their opponent of being “just like Hitler.” In most cases the comparison is a flimsy one put forth by a historical illiterate. Yet, weak debaters often take the bait and spend the rest of the time remaining in the exchange strenuously trying to show they’re not an avatar of the Fourth Reich.

When do we ever hear of someone accused of being “another Lenin”? The Communist tyrant Vladimir Lenin was responsible for the mass murder of at least five million mostly Christian Russians in the early days of the Bolshevik dictatorship (1918-1922). This fact is seldom taught anywhere in the West with anything like the intensity with which Hitler’s iniquity is conveyed.

In the college I attended, which was affiliated with the Episcopal Church, one of my history professors, a popular pedagogue who was a graduate of the London School of Economics, proudly displayed a poster-sized photograph of Lenin in his office. This was not considered controversial.

In Seattle, Washington a statue of Lenin stands on a prominent corner in the commercial heart of the Fremont district. When queried by critics, Seattle grandees explain the presence of the monument to a mass murderer as being due to the fact that Fremont “embraces quirky public art.”

Trump/Hitler Parallels

The Trump/Hitler parallels I am bringing to your attention are from the dark corners of revisionist history, neglected by the vast majority, especially by those who have either a grudging admiration for the Nazi dictator or are his outright defenders.

Background: Hitler’s first defeat occurred in the summer of 1941. This revisionist verity demonstrates the suicidal nature of his invasion of Russia, which had no chance of ultimate success.

As early as the autumn of 1941, less than four months after the June invasion, Nazi Germany’s Quarter Master General Eduard Wagner informed the führer that the war was lost. Supplies of every vital material necessary to sustain the war effort were too catastrophically low to sustain a military victory over the resource-rich Soviet Union.

This was at a time when Hitler in his Reichstag Speech of October 3, 1941 declared to the German people that the collapse of the Soviet Union was near at hand, “In the East, the enemy has already been broken and will not recover from the blows he has received. The Soviet regime has lost its main military forces; what remains can no longer alter the outcome. The campaign has shown that this opponent was far weaker than we had assumed, and I can therefore say today that the struggle in the East has already been decided.”

In the early days of Trump’s Iran war he made similar cocky, pre-mature claims about the defeat of the Islamic Republic. In early March Trump stated: “We already won the war in many ways…” On March 28 he claimed that Iran’s forces and government were effectively “neutralized.”

In his indispensable history, Retreat from Moscow: A New History of Germany’s Winter Campaign, 1941-1942, David Stahel writes:

For those not familiar with my former studies of German operations in the east, the fighting at Moscow will not be portrayed in this book as Hitler’s “first defeat,” nor even the turning point of the war, because I argue that both already took place in the summer of 1941. Such a proposition may strike some as counterintuitive given that, at the most basic level, the story of Germany’s summer campaign is typically characterized by fast-moving panzer groups, calamitous cauldron battles, and staggering sums of Red Army losses. Perhaps even more conclusive is the fact that, at the end of it all, Hitler’s armies stood deep inside the Soviet Union, ultimately threatening Leningrad, Moscow, and Sevastopol. The logic here appears simple: Germany’s first defeat, whenever that might have been, certainly could not have come before the first winter of the war.

The problem with this logic is that it separates German operations from their strategic context. Battles do not exist in a vacuum, and they should not be seen as ends in themselves. The sheer accumulation of battlefield “victories” in 1941 clearly did not suffice to knock the Soviet Union out of the war, and it was this failure that ultimately proved so ruinous to Germany’s prospects. Heavily restricted access to raw materials, critical production bottlenecks, and bitter policy debates governing the allocation of resources to the armed forces were fundamental to the outcome of a large-scale industrialized war.

Indeed, it was Germany’s grim long-term economic prospects that first directed Hitler’s attention toward an eastern campaign, but embarking on it came with huge risks. Either Hitler would secure his long-prophesied Lebensraum (living space) in the east and ensure limitless access to almost any resource Germany might require in its war against Great Britain, or the Wehrmacht’s air and sea war in the west would be disastrously undercut by a parallel, high-intensity land war in the east. Thus, it was absolutely essential for Germany to end any prospective war against the Soviet Union as quickly and as decisively as possible—there was simply no economic or military contingency for anything else.

Under these circumstances, some authors have attempted to argue Germany’s dominance by pointing to the far greater problems in the Red Army during the summer campaign. Yet the contexts for the two forces were entirely different; the Wehrmacht had to win outright at all costs, while the Red Army had only to survive as a force in being.

Allow me to mirror the preceding statement about Russia in 1941, in Iran in 2026: thus, it was absolutely essential for the U.S. to end any war against Iran as quickly and as decisively as possible. The American military had to win outright at all costs, while the Iranian missile and drone forces, as well as its Revolutionary Guard Corps, had only to survive as a force in being.

Like Trump’s war in Iran, Hitler’s war in the East was launched on the basis of his gut instinct and over-confidence in those instincts, which were further propelled after Germany’s stunning victories in France, Belgium and the Netherlands in 1940.

Trump’s successful attack on Venezuela gave him a blind faith in his intuition. In the forthcoming book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, authors Haberman and Swan reveal how the deliberations inside the administration that led to the decision to go to war on Iran were based on the president’s instincts.

Returning to the 1940s and the Eastern front, Stahel notes, “As the chief of the Army General Staff, Colonel-General Franz Halder, acknowledged in his diary on November 23: “An army, like that of June 1941, will henceforth no longer be available to us.”

Accordingly, the summer and fall of 1941 saw the Wehrmacht achieve stunning successes, but from a strategic point of view it failed to do the one thing that really mattered—defeat the Soviet Union before its (Germany’s) vital panzer groups were blunted. Once Operation Barbarossa (the code name for the German invasion of the Soviet Union) passed from being a blitzkrieg to a slogging war of matériel, which was already the case by the end of the summer, large-scale economic deficiencies spelled eventual doom for the Nazi state.

As Albert Speer observed, “The manner in which Hitler and his entourage governed and commanded was bound to stifle gradually every free opinion. Nobody in his surroundings had the courage to put forward his opinions, let alone stand up for them.”

Re: French masonic lodge at heart of murky murder trial

The provided text (available at the link above) is a highly accurate summary of an ongoing criminal trial in Paris, France. It matches reporting from multiple reputable sources (including The Guardian, Euronews, RFI, Le Monde, Courthouse News, and others) with only minor, insignificant variations in phrasing, spelling, or minor details.

Trial details: 22 defendants went on trial starting Monday, March 30, 2026, at the Paris Assize Court. The trial is expected to last at least three months. Charges center on murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and criminal conspiracy linked to an alleged “mafia” network operating within (or using the cover of) the former Athanor Masonic Lodge in Puteaux (a Paris suburb).

Defendants and backgrounds: Includes four military personnel from France’s foreign intelligence service (DGSE), police officers, a retired domestic intelligence officer (from DGSI), a security guard, business executives, and others. Most accused are aged 30–73 with no prior criminal records. Several (at least four) are Freemasons from the roughly 20-member Athanor lodge.

Ringleaders: Jean-Luc Bagur (69, “venerable master” of the lodge, business coach), Frédéric Vaglio (53, entrepreneur), and Daniel Beaulieu (72 or around that age, retired DGSI agent).

They, along with Sébastien Leroy (Beaulieu’s right-hand man, not a lodge member, former security guard), face life imprisonment if convicted. Bagur, Vaglio, and Beaulieu are described as Athanor Freemasons.

Triggering incident:

A botched July 2020 contract killing attempt on business coach Marie-Hélène Dini. Two DGSE-linked military/parachute regiment members were arrested near her home with weapons. They claimed they believed they were acting on behalf of the French state because she supposedly worked for Israeli intelligence (Mossad). Investigators linked it to Bagur (a business rival of Dini’s) allegedly paying €70,000 via Vaglio to have her eliminated.

Other crimes: Murder of racing driver Laurent Pasquali (body found in a forest in 2018/2019, allegedly over an unpaid debt linked to Vaglio’s circle).

Attempted murders (including of Dini and a trade unionist).

Escalating acts: assaults, robberies, arson (e.g., a car set on fire in 2019), and industrial espionage (e.g., snatching a computer from a businesswoman).

Leroy allegedly admitted carrying out or organizing most of the violence, sometimes believing it was government/intelligence work. He claimed manipulation by Beaulieu (including hints of becoming a DGSI informant).

Other details: Beaulieu reportedly attempted suicide in custody, leaving him disabled with impaired concentration. Dini’s lawyer (Jean-William Vezinet) commented on the “terrifying” aspect of the accused (intelligence/police/freemasons) being people meant to serve society. Crimes allegedly escalated from petty revenge to homicide.

Minor Inaccuracies or Variations

Number of police officers: The news report says “two police officers.” Some reports mention “two” or “three” (or “three police officers” in broader defendant lists). This is a negligible discrepancy, as exact counts vary slightly across outlets depending on how they categorize roles.

Specifics:

Beaulieu is often cited as around 72 (or slightly younger in one outlier report). Vaglio as 53 (or 49 in one source). These are minor and consistent with the overall timeline.

“Former” Athanor lodge: Reports confirm it as the Athanor lodge (sometimes called Athanor Lodge 759); the text’s “former” aligns with descriptions of the network operating inside/through it.

“Hit squads” and “mafia network”: These are the terms used in headlines and reporting (e.g., “Freemason mafia,” “hit squads,” “rogue Freemasons”). The text frames them as allegations, which is correct—the defendants face charges, and many deny wrongdoing or claim manipulation.

No major factual errors, fabrications, or distortions appear. The text closely mirrors AFP-sourced reporting that was widely republished around March 30–April 5, 2026. All core claims are corroborated as prosecutorial allegations under investigation in court (not proven facts). The case involves sensitive elements like intelligence ties and Freemasonry secrecy, but the summary remains neutral and factual.

For readers familiar with my research into “Black Jack 21” (as presented in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, and Twilight Language), note that Athanor Lodge 759 can be transmuted as Athanor Lodge 21 in that 7 + 5 + 9 = 21.

Masonic murder is common. Consider that the masonic third degree promises execution to anyone who reveals the secrets of the order.

In Scottish Rite masonry the Ninth degree is dedicated to “revenge for the murder of Hiram,” meaning anyone who thwarts masonry’s purposes.

In 19th-century America with the killing of writer William Morgan and Mormon leader Joseph Smith, for several decades masonic assassination became the talk of the nation. Many in the circle around Abraham Lincoln (for instance William Seward and Thurlow Weed) were dedicated anti-Masons.

“Truth is sacred; and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it.”

— G.K. Chesterton

Tracking the Revelation of the Method has been part of my life’s work for the past fifty years, ever since as a young man I learned about this occult technology from James Shelby Downard, the extraordinary intuitive who discovered the principle and considered it the most lethal form of warfare on the mind and spirit of humanity in the recorded history of occult psychodrama.

Donald Trump’s part in this alchemical theater is to lie extravagantly with little regard for the public’s disapproval. His outrageous falsehoods are sufficiently disconnected from reality as to constitute the revelation that the president of the United States is a habitual, pathological liar.

For example, in the past month Mr. Trump has stated that his reason for bombarding Iran in unison with the Israeli war machine was to stop Iran from pursuing an atomic bomb.

Yet, in the wake of his televised address immediately after the June 21, 2025 U.S. bombing of Iran he stated, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

On June 25 the White House published the following statement, “Monumental damage was done to all nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!”

Last February 24 Trump declared, as his casus belli for the attack on Iran, “They can’t have nuclear weapons. It’s very simple. You can’t have peace in the Middle East if they have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want any enrichment.”

How can anyone enrich what has been “obliterated”? That which has been wiped out no longer exists. To engage in a war to eliminate an annihilated material is an atrocious imposture so transparent it represents a sinister Revelation of the Method laugh in the face of the American people.

On March 1 the White House issued a press release quoting another alibi for Trump’s war:

“The Iranian regime has been terrorizing and murdering Americans for 47 years. From the seizure of our embassy in Tehran in 1979, to the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, to the killing of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, to its continued support for terrorist proxies across the Middle East, Iran’s leaders have shown nothing but contempt for human life and the rule of law.”

Trump and his administration refer to Iran’s alleged “contempt for human life and the rule of law” when the most notorious recent example of that contempt has been the genocidal conduct of the Israeli military in Gaza, and the ongoing anti-Palestinian pogrom by Talmudic-Zionist settlers in the West Bank. Once again we observe a falsehood so transparent it represents a Revelation of the Method joke on the American people.

The 1979 embassy seizure in Tehran was due to the ongoing alliance of the US government with the crimes of the Pahlavi regime and its savage SAVAK secret police. After the 1953 CIA-sponsored coup which put him in power, the United States continued to support the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah’s regime relied on SAVAK, which was trained with U.S. and Israeli assistance and became notorious for repression, imprisonment, and torture of dissidents. The seizure of the US Embassy was retaliation by revolutionary students to US government support for the state terrorism of the Shah and his thugs. To term their struggle against US support for terrorism as constituting itself terrorism is a transparent falsehood, a Revelation of the Method mockery.

With regard to the bombing of the Marine Barracks, the Revisionist history suppressed by media and academia reveals that from September 19-25, 1983, the U.S. Navy, including the battleship USS New Jersey, opened fire on Lebanese villages in the Shouf Mountains of Lebanon. These bombardments caused hundreds of civilian casualties and were considered state-sponsored terrorism by many elements of Lebanese society. A month later, on October 23, 1983, the Lebanese retaliated and the Marine Barracks was bombed.

The next excuse put forth for the attack on Iran is“The killing of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Since when is the killing of combatants during a war an act of terrorism?

On March 25, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated, “Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” Hegseth prayed during a live-streamed service. “Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”

In 2003 the US invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq which had engaged in no belligerence against America. The US attack was viewed by the majority Shiite nation as the crime of waging aggressive war. American troops were considered to be undeserving of mercy. The Iraqis proceeded to attempt to expel the invaders. Their act of self-defense is classified as terrorism by the Trump administration.

Any armed resistance to Israeli or American attacks is treated as terrorism. This is the “God of the Old Testament is on our side” megalomania promoted by Israeli hasbara (propaganda). All resistance to the empire’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan is classed as ungodly and illegitimate.

Obviously, we do not wish to see our men and women in uniform killed; which is why we work for peace and an end to foreign wars. Support Our Troops: keep them home.

Exceptions to Trump’s terrorism classification are made when they advance the destruction of Christianity in the Middle East; for instance, in its cradle, Syria. Ahmed al‑Sharaa is the current dictator (“interim president”) of Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, the Alawite protector of the Christian community.

Al‑Sharaa was formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. He joined Jabhat al-Nusra (the “Nusra Front”) led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an al-Qaeda–affiliated branch in Iraq. From 2004-2007, he orchestrated attacks which killed American soldiers:

• IED (improvised explosive device) attacks on U.S. patrols and convoys.

• Suicide bombings targeting U.S. bases and Iraqi government sites.

•Urban guerrilla war against U.S. troops in Fallujah, Ramadi, and Mosul.

These operations resulted in hundreds of U.S. casualties. Yet, no US missiles are headed Al‑Sharaa’s way. On the contrary, in the White House on November 10, President Trump rolled out the red carpet for the al Qaeda fighter, just days after ordering the lifting of the $10 million reward the US had for years offered for his capture.

Sunni Wahhabism, the state religion of Saudi Arabia, is also the creed of al Qaeda. It differs markedly from the uprising against US forces in Iraq by Shia militia. George W. Bush pinned the 9/11 terror attacks on al Qaeda. Al‑Sharaa’s commander, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was one of the most notorious butchers of civilians in the annals of early 21st century Middle East terrorism.

To understand why Mr. Trump heaped honor and laurels on Al‑Sharaa and betrayed American servicemen and women killed or wounded by his Nusra Front, we direct your attention to the datum that Al‑Sharaa’s anti-Christian rule in Syria is pleasing to the Netanyahu regime.

Trump’s other stated objective for attacking Iran starting February 28 near the festival of Purim (George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq commenced near Purim in 2003), was the overthrow of the regime. Mossad, the infamous Israeli espionage agency, sold Trump on the idea that the riots against the Iranian government were a spontaneous and peaceful protest on the part of a significant portion of the population, subsequently slaughtered in the thousands by government forces. This mass of “protestors” it was said, would rise up as soon as the leaders of the Islamic Republic were assassinated.

Max Blumental deconstructs the hoax: “On January 8 and 9, Mossad-backed rioters murdered hundreds of police officers, guards and civilians across Iran, while burning down government buildings and mosques. The extensively documented regime change riots provided a bridge between (Trump’s) 12-day-war and the current assault on Iran, and form the blueprint for Israel’s stalled plan to destabilize the country from within…

“Israeli intel merely needed to convince the feeble-minded president that a wave of decapitation strikes would unleash a massive upheaval to immediately topple the Islamic Republic. The January riots were presented to Trump as a preview of what was to come.

Western media, including the NY Times and The Guardian, played a central role in legitimizing Israel’s deception by falsely characterizing the violent regime change riots as mere protests, massively inflating the death toll and covering up the fact that many were murdered by the Israeli-backed rioters. The whole of Western media and the Western human rights industrial complex deliberately misrepresented the real character of those riots. But now that the war they helped to instigate is going badly for the US and Israel, that same media is now free to reveal a few kernels of truth.”

The January 8-9 riots in Iran, initially framed by Western media as pro-democracy protests with inflated death tolls exceeding 30,000, were later revealed through Iranian reports and smuggled footage as violent clashes killing around 3,000 people, many by armed agitators backed by Israel.

The New York Times article of March 22 details Mossad chief David Barnea’s shift toward planning regime-toppling operations in Iran, including igniting riots and assassinations, aligning with Blumenthal’s assertion of Israeli orchestration of the January unrest intended to sucker Trump into intervening.

As a result of the faulty intelligence “The Donald” naively believed that once his bombing and assassination campaign was underway, the populace would rise up, overthrow the Islamic Republic and turn the reins of power over to the Israelis and Americans who were murdering their women and children with missiles and bombs, destroying ancient Persian cultural treasures and edifices and demolishing their infrastructure. Feeble-minded does not begin to describe Mr. Trump’s mental state.

Trump’s Lies Are The Revelation. They lead us to the glaring truth that as in 2003 in Iraq, we have gone to war in 2026 in Iran for the sake of the fulfillment of Israeli demands and requirements. The whole enterprise is a vast waste of billions of taxpayers dollars, smashed military equipment and inflationary prices at the gas pump and the grocery store. If the next chapter in Trump’s sneak attack policy turns out to be an invasion by American “boots on the ground,” there will be a butcher’s bill to pay in terms of dead and wounded US soldiers and Marines.

Share Michael Hoffman's Revelation of the Method

Why aren’t the American people rising in revolt? There was a national “No Kings” protest attended by millions this past weekend. It’s a start. Unfortunately, it is captive to the abortion-on-demand-at-any-stage-of-pregnancy movement which denies human rights to unborn human beings — i.e. infanticide, the hallmark of paganism. Our struggle must comprise a seamless unity which recognizes and cherishes the humanity of Iranian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian and Israeli people as well as precious babies in the womb. The one without the other is a diabolical farce.

I do not gauge pushback against the infliction of psychological warfare on the people of the West mainly in terms of protests and marches. 1. Activism must be internalized. 2. Recognition must materialize in terms of public discussion.
