USS Nimitz (carrier) on way from WestPac to Iran; USS Carl Vinson already on station; queue the false flag attack on US ships. Bring out the Gulf of Tonkin (Vietnam false flags) playbook. Change the press releases from “Iraq” and “WMD” to “Iran” and “Nukes”. Ready the US Christian male teens for slaughter in the name of Zionism. I am a Catholic US military veteran and I oppose US getting engaged in war with Iran and also oppose US funding Israel’s Zionists genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
You gotta read the propaganda like the above, straight off the Israeli presses, to see how desperate the west has become. The US LOST against the Houthis and they couldn’t keep Afghanistan in check, but somehow they can defeat Iran? Not gonna happen. If the US is directly involved, queue Russia, China, Yemen and all the aforementioned who have been saving their strength for a match against the root backstop: Washington
I’m kinda on the other side of the fence except that if the Nimitz leaves the gulf it leaves Taiwan alone to fend with China. I don’t like that at all and I’m not sure it’s really needed. The one thing we can’t have is Iran with a nuke - it’s not an unreasonable conclusion that if left alone in six months Israel would no longer exist.
Iran has no aircraft left which really doesn’t matter because the were only F-4’s (which I flew) and F-14’s
(which I could and did beat in a dogfight) against Israeli F-16’s, F-15’s and F-35’s. Those aircraft, along with missiles took out all of theirs while they were still on the ground.
The only thing Iran has for a conventional war is missiles which China is probably supplying and now re-supplying. The Israelis have the iron dome which works very well and has an almost unlimited amount of missiles, aircraft and rockets and bombs for the F-15’s and F-35’s.
My bottom line is Victor Davis Hanson is right. You cannot trust Iran to not use the nuclear option.
If Trump does not keep Iran guessing they will frantically continue putting their own agenda in play. We cannot let Iran get a nuclear weapon fired into Israel because we’ll be next.
Sorry Ed but I’ve been hearing that fear and the whole WMDS in Iraq fiasco and can’t let Vietnam go Communist propaganda my whole life. Meanwhile Israel actually did commit genocide in Gaza. I want US out of ALL foreign aid and wars.
I get it now because I’ve been looking at your prior posts. Look, I’ve been in-country in Vietnam and in Laos rescuing POW’s — I know war and I don’t like it either, but there comes a time when you have to align with your allies. Israel is the strongest one we have in the world, and although we won’t have boots on the ground we will still help them in other ways. Although you undoubtedly think the “golden dome” is a stupid idea, if we don’t do something now, we may not be able to do anytime in the near future.
The B-2’s are now on the move from Missouri and will stage in Guam for the time being.
I just don’t know what your problem is with taking out Iran’s capability of finishing their plans to send a nuke to Israel, because we’ll be next. The little satan and the big satan.
Ed, I respect you and your service to America. My problem is that it is completely clear that Israel has committed genocide, Ethnic Cleansing, war crimes and intentional starvation of women and children for zero just reasons. We should not have an alliance with any nation so guilty of crimes against humanity; even if it means increased risk to ourselves. It’s like saying we should ally with the Nazis because Russia was a major threat. As a Catholic and an American veteran, I oppose Israel’s slaughter in Gaza and Iran.
I would agree with that except I have no evidence of those allegations during the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, and have not read about them in Israel’s earlier wars.
I can answer honestly. Now let’s see if you can. And your ultimatum applies now to you.
First, this is not at all a war; it’s Ethnic Cleansing implemented via genocide and starvation.
Second, Israel has been torturing and imprisoning Palestinians unjustly for decades via their Apartheid policies and practices.
Finally, I condemn Hamas’s 7Oct terrorist attack but at least I didn’t fund it; now I am ashamed to be an American funding Israel’s genocide of women and children in Gaza.
I believe you swore an oath to the Constitution when youserved, right Ed? I did the same, and thats when I was introduced to Smedley Butler, the Marines Marine. He wrote War is a Racket, and in it he recorded how we arent fighting for our rights but for resources, like the mafia. No wonder the Constitution clearly outlines only Congress can declare war.
The Federalist papers make this even more clear when the Founding Fathers were consistent on not having any 'entangling alliances.' But Israel is an extension of this empire and the empire is in decline, so it attempts to contain the next empire rising too quickly (China).
The Constitution states that Congress has the power to declare war, but does not state that only Congress. Consider that the Commander in Chief determines how the military will conduct the war, and when, if ever. The declaration needs consent of the Commander of the armed forces.
The Federalist Papers make their intention clear. They feared the President having powers similar to King George and so the context was made very clear in the Constitution itself: Any power NOT listed is reserved for the people, NOT the government. If it doesn’t CLEARLY list that power than it is NOT a power they may expect to legally wield.
Actually what you are is a deluded antisemite, a bigoted idiot. Don't brag about being a Carholic. You are no Christian, a religion that wouldn't exist but for the Jews. But you line up with Hamas and the Iranians, forces that openly call for the destruction of the West. That includes you, buddy
And you defend the genocide that Zionists committed in 2025 by killing over 50,000 women and children, maiming over 100,000, starving and making homeless a million. Israel committed a Gaza Holocaust and the world will ever forget it.
And if Iran’s nuclear plans aren’t terminated by Israel, USA or both, you better move if you live in Eastern USA, because a nuclear attack from Iran will be arriving soon!
Of Israel and Iran; Israel is the one who intentionally attacked the USS Liberty and returned over and over to kill US sailors in the sea. Zionists committed genocide in 2025; Never Forget Israel is guilty of having committed the Gaza Holocaust in 2025.
I served active duty US military, Gordo; no gain to try and scare me about Iran.
Finally, a sane person in this thread. I think some of these people want us to fail and leave Israel alone and then - no more Israel. What they don’t understand is that we are next.
There is no genocide. There is no apartheid. You actually believe what Hamas and the mullahs tell you. Only extreme antisemitism or stupidity explains that. Hamas in its charter actually calls openly for genocide. They admire Hitler. It's the same with the mullahs of Iran. And Hezbollah. Between them, they have killed thousands of Americans, and you ignore it. Some American you are. Some Christian. Ugh.
By the way, Jesus and all the apostles were Jewish, you antisemitic fool.
Yes, prayers that our President Trump is able to make decisions based in our best interests/outcomes-take Iran’s power/nuclear threats away for good. No middle of the humanitarian road. Trump has the information needed to make such decisions. I thank God his decisions are not based on the propaganda that the citizens of the USA are exposed to. How would any of us know the truth as does Trump?
i stopped reading after a few minutes. it’s just propaganda.
the one state in the world who frightens me to have any weapons of mass destruction is israhell. they have shown their complete lack of ethics, honor, culture and empathy.
i think that people get entrained into talking politics, like it’s a real thing and they fail to notice the theatre hosting the play. they talk about leaders as if they actually take decisions unilaterally and are not totally owned by employers in the wings. they propose strategic and tactical hypotheses as if there is no script.
the blind don’t notice a wall until they bump into it.
The Talmud it turns out really exposes how “razizt” the Zionists are. Many Jews oppose Zionism. Zionists are actually the real anti-Semites. The true Semites by geographical history and DNA or the Semites. This is how “stoopid” the goy can be.
“Iran has lost its regional dominance?” Iran seems to have all the cards. And the houthis are still very much in the game. I agree that to everything’s gonna change, but not in the way this guy is expecting if the thinks Iran is weakened by all this.
You'd have to be an idiot to believe that Mossad, the IDF and Netanyahu had no idea about the training going on for 2 years at a camp a kilometer away from their border that was a copy of an Israeli settlement.
One of the most surveilled borders in the world.
The same Mossad and idf that were able to get exploding cellphones in the hands I Hamas.
You really believe that?
Netanyahu sacrificed his own people to have an excuse to attack Gaza.
Iran’s most probable path is a chess game, cautious: to seek a ceasefire, maintain low-level retaliatory strikes on Israel to preserve credibility, secure regime stability, and prepare for long-term recovery.
Iran will likely spin any truce as a victory, rebuild discreetly, rearm its proxies, and resume its regional strategy.
Iran believes that Time is its most valuable strategic asset.
Iranian Logic: if it can survive initial onslaught(s), it can restore capabilities and reassert influence, endure, “Retaliate Just Enough”, and wait for the critical moment when it can regain the initiative.
Historically, Iran has a strategy of calculated resilience, not escalation. The past has proven Mid-East war’s are as much psychological as kinetic.
The Give and Take patient approach may prove to be Iran’s most potent weapon of all.
Does the USA really need to be involved? I think Israel is capable of taking out Iran’s nuclear program and radical leadership on its own. Sure, we can give moral support, etc.
Israel is 9 million, size of NJ. Iran is 90 million size of the entire EU. Israel has the US and the US alone to back it up in its folly, all while using 200 missiles a day to shoot down incoming, while it takes US manufacturing 1 year to produce 100 of these missiles.
I can only recommend doing the math. WE are going, that was agreed decades ago when Trump was set up to be our Chosen One...
Hanson is no clear eyed, truthful assessor of historic events. He’s been a propagandist masquerading as an historian for years. You can’t trust a word he says.
The historic shift is already happening. Russia and China are arming Iran, and the Israelis are trying to flee. The end result will be the disappearance of Israel and a new currency the Gold Dinar, replacing the Dollar and the World Currency needed to buy oil. The American economy will collapse overnight
Victor is an old fashioned American imperialist who still believes that the US has a right to control the resources of the ME. The Saudi and Emirati monarchies love this but Iran is standing in the way. So, Iran must be destroyed. Remember weapons of mass destruction? This is the same lie, and will end the same way. Victor you should retire and stop spreading US propaganda😂
THIS is why we pray like never before, for God's hands in the middle of all this. "The Prince of Persia" from the book of Daniel...Iran...same principality as in Daniel's time. Pray without ceasing.
Sister W.E if I have to unfollow so be it,the Zionist agenda,are the descendants of the Whited Sepulchres that Jesus hated and loathed so much he spoke in the most ungentle and most abusive terms about them ,see Matthew 23. They are liars from the beginning of time.
Jane, I have no argument with you, I don't even know you. If you are mentioning Matthew 23, while I am not a theologian, I believe Christ is speaking about the scribes and Pharisees directly, from verse 23, "woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees..." I do not think He was addressing the average Jewish person who was not in any power or influence. That being said, as a woman of God and follower of Jesus Christ, I love Israel and the Jewish people. It was Jesus Christ, a Jew, Who was sent as God's Son, to minister first to the oppressed Jews under the Roman occupation. He also came to advocate for the Gentiles, who could also be saved by His sacrifice. The Jews are just as flawed as the rest of humanity. They are also chosen by God to be His own chosen people. If you hate the Jews, so be it. I cannot adivse you what to do. I am a Gentile, saved by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ! If you decide to unfollow, also, so be it. I do humbly and sincerely thank you for kind comments and support in the past. I never take any reader or supporter for granted. Do as you feel you must do. Wendy
Thank you Wendy,if I do unfollow it won't be for any lack of admiration for yourself,your honesty,your skill to guide having been there,done that," don't knock it till youve tried it" they used to say back in the day. Now when people who have "tried it" and can legitimately knock it,they think of some other specious reason to negate the caller out...sorry off target a bit. There is a theory,one which prior to COVID I would have laughed at like the moon landings were filmed in a shed in California,ho ho ho,so silly,we live in an age of science. But now I've investigated SO MUCH history and found out how much has been INTERPRETED to make us behave in certain predetermined ways,well I'm not totally in acceptance of this theory but I want to find out more. The theory is that a long,long time ago the people who we know as Jews,just one of a multiplicity of tribes in the East. Abraham was a towns person of Ur,a city that was already ancient when he was born. Now the Assyrian Empire,the Worlds first empire was well run by an efficient beaurocracy,we can but dream. The Assyrian Empire lasted for nearly 3K years and was always ruled over BY ONE FAMILY. Not always direct or father to son,sometimes it was a grandson,a nephew,a cousin but always one of the BLOODLINE. They were the descendants of Nimrod the Hunter ( in their tradition idea) and they considered it their RIGHT to RULE THE WHOLE (known) WORLD. When their empire and rule did fall the idea is that they infiltrated themselves into this pastoral tribe that were mostly peaceful shepherds and made themselves the ruling class,the kingly class,the ones who made the rules which for most of old testament history the other Jews mostly ignored and got on with their lives,and worshipped trees,and sacred poles etc like their neighbours. I have to ask WHY are there two sorts of Jews. The nice ones who dominated entertainment,who were funny,kind,talented and made us laugh. Yet there is another kind of Jew,one who thinks nothing of murdering thousands of people - on a good day - and if anyone objects THEY are the hater. It explains a lot if some of the Jews,the ones who are rich and clever are the hidden rulers from the beginning of time. I am now CONVINCED that The Holocaust was planned and funded by the R families,the Wall St and London bankers,and a lot of the records in the archives confirm this but no one is ENCOURAGED to look into the archives. We are supposed to take on trust but others tell us. This sounds cruel you object,why would rich Jews throw poor Jews,the nice ones,under the bus. Because THEY could,because THEY didn't CARE,because by doing so they could create a justification or pretext for the establishing of the State of Israel so enormous,no one could gainsay it. I see what they did there. It's obvious from the words of Jesus (unless they were added later as some say) that there were two oil and water strata of society and not only did they not mix voluntarily but the purity laws of the Pharisees did not allow it. It's ironic also that in conventional terms The Pharisees are The Good Guys and Jesus The Bad Guy. They were a bunch of Greta Thunbergs trying to make everyone live a life of austere purity so that GOD would favour the nation of Israel once more. Jesus was continually breaking their rules. He did things ALL THE TIME that they declared were unacceptable. He turned the tables on them and made them look stupid. He said we don't need all these pernicketty rules just love other people around you. The ordinary people got it,The Elite,with whom he often dined as is revealed,hated this message (though some were secretly attracted). Well thats far too long ,but thats my reasoning. The " Star of David" mentioned nowhere in The Bible is a 15th century occult symbol from old Germany and it was used in magic ceremonies to call up.....not going any further. They laugh at us and our blindness to it.
Jane, I cannot begin to jump into all this fray, I have utterly zero energy for this argument. I concentrate on keeping a roof over my head and staying on the very narrow path of God, 100%. There are mean people of all stripes out there, all colors, all cultures. I trust God and His Son, alone, not the world. The Bible contains many rascals as well as many good people. How God chose to bring Christ to this world is His business. I am saved as a Gentile because of the sacrifice of Christ, a Jew. I live for Eternity, not this tiny slice of the life I have left. I wish you all the best, Jane. You are an intelligent and thoughtful person. Whatever you decide, as per unfollowing me or no, I remain blessed by your comments and intelligence. Wendy
The idea that Trump is capable of making a wise decision brings this post into serious question. That there are potentially catastrophic changes ahead does not require a crystal ball. This could easily be the making of the mother of all forever wars and regime change worked so well in Iraq. To be continued, eh?
USS Nimitz (carrier) on way from WestPac to Iran; USS Carl Vinson already on station; queue the false flag attack on US ships. Bring out the Gulf of Tonkin (Vietnam false flags) playbook.

Don't worry Louie, Israel has your back.
GROW UP!!
Oh my gay, as Bruce Jenner plays Caitlyn in your basement 👀
Hilarious that you call me gay when my dick is in your mouth right now.
You know whats hilarious is that was a DOUBLE ENTENDRE, and it went over your head!
Yo, Piltdown, put away the rubbernecking, it’s embarrassing
Is it rubbernecking, if I am looking down at you while my dick is in your mouth? Is that the right term?
Hi pale dog, alias wan cur. 😄
Now here is a wise man.
You do your namesake honor.
I’m kinda on the other side of the fence except that if the Nimitz leaves the gulf it leaves Taiwan alone to fend with China. I don’t like that at all and I’m not sure it’s really needed. The one thing we can’t have is Iran with a nuke - it’s not an unreasonable conclusion that if left alone in six months Israel would no longer exist.
Iran has no aircraft left which really doesn’t matter because the were only F-4’s (which I flew) and F-14’s
(which I could and did beat in a dogfight) against Israeli F-16’s, F-15’s and F-35’s. Those aircraft, along with missiles took out all of theirs while they were still on the ground.

My bottom line is Victor Davis Hanson is right. You cannot trust Iran to not use the nuclear option.
If Trump does not keep Iran guessing they will frantically continue putting their own agenda in play. We cannot let Iran get a nuclear weapon fired into Israel because we’ll be next.
Sorry Ed but I’ve been hearing that fear and the whole WMDS in Iraq fiasco and can’t let Vietnam go Communist propaganda my whole life. Meanwhile Israel actually did commit genocide in Gaza. I want US out of ALL foreign aid and wars.
I get it now because I’ve been looking at your prior posts. Look, I’ve been in-country in Vietnam and in Laos rescuing POW’s — I know war and I don’t like it either, but there comes a time when you have to align with your allies. Israel is the strongest one we have in the world, and although we won’t have boots on the ground we will still help them in other ways. Although you undoubtedly think the “golden dome” is a stupid idea, if we don’t do something now, we may not be able to do anytime in the near future.
The B-2’s are now on the move from Missouri and will stage in Guam for the time being.
I just don’t know what your problem is with taking out Iran’s capability of finishing their plans to send a nuke to Israel, because we’ll be next. The little satan and the big satan.
Ed, I respect you and your service to America. My problem is that it is completely clear that Israel has committed genocide, Ethnic Cleansing, war crimes and intentional starvation of women and children for zero just reasons.

I would agree with that except I have no evidence of those allegations during the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, and have not read about them in Israel’s earlier wars.
Who started the war - Israel didn’t do it.
Who kidnapped and killed Israeli civilians, kids and Americans.
If you can’t answer this honestly then you won’t hear from me again.
I can answer honestly. Now let’s see if you can. And your ultimatum applies now to you.
First, this is not at all a war; it’s Ethnic Cleansing implemented via genocide and starvation.
Second, Israel has been torturing and imprisoning Palestinians unjustly for decades via their Apartheid policies and practices.
Finally, I condemn Hamas’s 7Oct terrorist attack but at least I didn’t fund it; now I am ashamed to be an American funding Israel’s genocide of women and children in Gaza.
I believe you swore an oath to the Constitution when youserved, right Ed? I did the same, and thats when I was introduced to Smedley Butler, the Marines Marine.

I have heard that trope a lot, yet know the IDF has methods for protecting civilians from warfare. Messages, paper flyers, etc.
The one thing we “can’t have” is J€ws controlling our government.
It’s time to Make Antisemitism Great Again.
There’s the rub, that last sentence.
Well stated. Thank you!
Actually what you are is a deluded antisemite, a bigoted idiot. Don't brag about being a Carholic. You are no Christian, a religion that wouldn't exist but for the Jews. But you line up with Hamas and the Iranians, forces that openly call for the destruction of the West. That includes you, buddy

Makes me like the idea of The Golden Dome. Some of these folks on this discussion just don’t get it. VDH does.
Finally, a sane person in this thread. I think some of these people want us to fail and leave Israel alone and then - no more Israel. What they don’t understand is that we are next.
You can support ZOG or you can be MAGA but you can’t do both
Read the Bible; 1 Thess 2 15
“..even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:”
There is no genocide. There is no apartheid. You actually believe what Hamas and the mullahs tell you. Only extreme antisemitism or stupidity explains that.

A pity you lost your brain along the way.
Are you from Oregon?
Wow! So much wisdom from VDH! Prayer for our president to make the wisest moves to put down this evil.
The evil is the Neocon warmongers.
Yes, prayers that our President Trump is able to make decisions based in our best interests/outcomes-take Iran’s power/nuclear threats away for good. No middle of the humanitarian road. Trump has the information needed to make such decisions. I thank God his decisions are not based on the propaganda that the citizens of the USA are exposed to.

He’s on board the DC Ship of Fools steaming toward an iceberg with trump playing the role of captain.
VH fails to see the whirlwind trump is blowing with his blow hard bs.
i think that people get entrained into talking politics, like it’s a real thing and they fail to notice the theatre hosting the play. they talk about leaders as if they actually take decisions unilaterally and are not totally owned by employers in the wings. they propose strategic and tactical hypotheses as if there is no script.
the blind don’t notice a wall until they bump into it.
What a load of zionist garbage great speech totally in their favor in every point of view.
Zionists don’t march chanting “Death to America”… 🇺🇸😎
That's true they just kill Americans.
Exactly they just quietly suck the wealth and life out of you.
The Talmud it turns out really exposes how “razizt” the Zionists are. Many Jews oppose Zionism. Zionists are actually the real anti-Semites. The true Semites by geographical history and DNA or the Semites. This is how “stoopid” the goy can be.
Oh, please tell us more…
Uss liberty
911........more coming
False flag attacks are their favorite
Yep Lavon affair. AIPAC bribery, and that’s just the surface stuff.
Sounds like false information is yours… 🥱
No, seriously, 9/11 is conspiracy theory, but the sinking of the uss liberty is an acknowledged event:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty
These are not really our allies.
Zionists are the ONLY threat to America
I sincerely wish Iran had many nukes and used every one of them on Tel Aviv, the filthy Christ-killing Talmudics are a threat to all of humanity.
As John said in 1 Thess 2:15, “the enemy of all mankind”
“Iran has lost its regional dominance?” Iran seems to have all the cards. And the houthis are still very much in the game. I agree that to everything’s gonna change, but not in the way this guy is expecting if the thinks Iran is weakened by all this.
You'd have to be an idiot to believe that Mossad, the IDF and Netanyahu had no idea about the training going on for 2 years at a camp a kilometer away from their border that was a copy of an Israeli settlement.
One of the most surveilled borders in the world.
The same Mossad and idf that were able to get exploding cellphones in the hands I Hamas.
You really believe that?
Netanyahu sacrificed his own people to have an excuse to attack Gaza.
He could have easily prevented it at any time.
No. They just commit genocide and bomb countries that haven't attacked them
Wow. VDH true colors…..so disappointing
Totally, and what is shocking is that he is mouthing MSM stats as tho’ holy writ😱
That was a long winded way of saying "I have no idea."
Iran R.J.E. Strategy
Iran’s most probable path is a chess game, cautious: to seek a ceasefire, maintain low-level retaliatory strikes on Israel to preserve credibility, secure regime stability, and prepare for long-term recovery.
Iran will likely spin any truce as a victory, rebuild discreetly, rearm its proxies, and resume its regional strategy.

The Give and Take patient approach may prove to be Iran’s most potent weapon of all.
On substack there is plenty of evidence of Israel getting hit very hard giving as much as they get.
Does the USA really need to be involved? I think Israel is capable of taking out Iran’s nuclear program and radical leadership on its own. Sure, we can give moral support, etc.
Israel is 9 million, size of NJ. Iran is 90 million size of the entire EU. Israel has the US and the US alone to back it up in its folly, all while using 200 missiles a day to shoot down incoming, while it takes US manufacturing 1 year to produce 100 of these missiles.
I can only recommend doing the math. WE are going, that was agreed decades ago when Trump was set up to be our Chosen One...
Agreed, but Trump is desperate to look like a strong leader…
So, you signed up already or just posturing on Substack?
???
I always viewed this guy as an empty suit dimwit and he never disappoints.
Where people get off thinking he is wise is beyond me. Just another stupid Neocon.
Hanson is no clear eyed, truthful assessor of historic events. He’s been a propagandist masquerading as an historian for years. You can’t trust a word he says.

Hooray!
In other words, he has absolutely no clue as usual
Isn’t it amazing? ‘Things will either turn out very good, or very bad!! This is my definitive prediction!!!’ 😂
Victor is an old fashioned American imperialist who still believes that the US has a right to control the resources of the ME.

He also came to advocate for the Gentiles, who could also be saved by His sacrifice. The Jews are just as flawed as the rest of humanity. They are also chosen by God to be His own chosen people. If you hate the Jews, so be it. I cannot adivse you what to do. I am a Gentile, saved by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ! If you decide to unfollow, also, so be it. I do humbly and sincerely thank you for kind comments and support in the past. I never take any reader or supporter for granted. Do as you feel you must do. Wendy
Thank you Wendy,if I do unfollow it won't be for any lack of admiration for yourself,your honesty,your skill to guide having been there,done that," don't knock it till youve tried it" they used to say back in the day. Now when people who have "tried it" and can legitimately knock it,they think of some other specious reason to negate the caller out...sorry off target a bit. There is a theory,one which prior to COVID I would have laughed at like the moon landings were filmed in a shed in California,ho ho ho,so silly,we live in an age of science. But now I've investigated SO MUCH history and found out how much has been INTERPRETED to make us behave in certain predetermined ways,well I'm not totally in acceptance of this theory but I want to find out more. The theory is that a long,long time ago the people who we know as Jews,just one of a multiplicity of tribes in the East. Abraham was a towns person of Ur,a city that was already ancient when he was born. Now the Assyrian Empire,the Worlds first empire was well run by an efficient beaurocracy,we can but dream. The Assyrian Empire lasted for nearly 3K years and was always ruled over BY ONE FAMILY. Not always direct or father to son,sometimes it was a grandson,a nephew,a cousin but always one of the BLOODLINE. They were the descendants of Nimrod the Hunter ( in their tradition idea) and they considered it their RIGHT to RULE THE WHOLE (known) WORLD. When their empire and rule did fall the idea is that they infiltrated themselves into this pastoral tribe that were mostly peaceful shepherds and made themselves the ruling class,the kingly class,the ones who made the rules which for most of old testament history the other Jews mostly ignored and got on with their lives,and worshipped trees,and sacred poles etc like their neighbours. I have to ask WHY are there two sorts of Jews. The nice ones who dominated entertainment,who were funny,kind,talented and made us laugh. Yet there is another kind of Jew,one who thinks nothing of murdering thousands of people - on a good day - and if anyone objects THEY are the hater. It explains a lot if some of the Jews,the ones who are rich and clever are the hidden rulers from the beginning of time. I am now CONVINCED that The Holocaust was planned and funded by the R families,the Wall St and London bankers,and a lot of the records in the archives confirm this but no one is ENCOURAGED to look into the archives. We are supposed to take on trust but others tell us. This sounds cruel you object,why would rich Jews throw poor Jews,the nice ones,under the bus. Because THEY could,because THEY didn't CARE,because by doing so they could create a justification or pretext for the establishing of the State of Israel so enormous,no one could gainsay it. I see what they did there. It's obvious from the words of Jesus (unless they were added later as some say) that there were two oil and water strata of society and not only did they not mix voluntarily but the purity laws of the Pharisees did not allow it. It's ironic also that in conventional terms The Pharisees are The Good Guys and Jesus The Bad Guy. They were a bunch of Greta Thunbergs trying to make everyone live a life of austere purity so that GOD would favour the nation of Israel once more. Jesus was continually breaking their rules. He did things ALL THE TIME that they declared were unacceptable. He turned the tables on them and made them look stupid. He said we don't need all these pernicketty rules just love other people around you. The ordinary people got it,The Elite,with whom he often dined as is revealed,hated this message (though some were secretly attracted). Well thats far too long ,but thats my reasoning. The " Star of David" mentioned nowhere in The Bible is a 15th century occult symbol from old Germany and it was used in magic ceremonies to call up.....not going any further. They laugh at us and our blindness to it.
Jane, I cannot begin to jump into all this fray, I have utterly zero energy for this argument. I concentrate on keeping a roof over my head and staying on the very narrow path of God, 100%. There are mean people of all stripes out there, all colors, all cultures. I trust God and His Son, alone, not the world. The Bible contains many rascals as well as many good people. How God chose to bring Christ to this world is His business. I am saved as a Gentile because of the sacrifice of Christ, a Jew. I live for Eternity, not this tiny slice of the life I have left. I wish you all the best, Jane. You are an intelligent and thoughtful person. Whatever you decide, as per unfollowing me or no, I remain blessed by your comments and intelligence. Wendy
This guy is delusional
The idea that Trump is capable of making a wise decision brings this post into serious question. That there are potentially catastrophic changes ahead does not require a crystal ball. This could easily be the making of the mother of all forever wars and regime change worked so well in Iraq. To be continued, eh?
